COMMUNICATED

Now let us have the Little
Scioto Improvement by the best
Illinois & dredge smen, and by men
of Marion County, who are disin-
terested and we'll posted in such an
Improvement, it Is said that Little
Scioto Improvement from Crawford
County line to the Big Sc:oto River
below Gdeen Camp will not cost to
exceed.Asevanty-,fivc thousand dol
lars. Now are thousands of acres
drained by this stream and the
city Of Marion needs it improved
badly, because every time it rains
lard the cellars in the west end
bottoms are covered with water,
the waters of the stream having no
channel to speak of to run in, over
flow and hundreds of acres of corn
and other crops are damaged and
great loss to the tax payers and
more than the cost of improvement
is suffered by the land owners
draining into the river. The stream
, ~ HuItiiltt Ill LiS plcStht Colui-
tion and State Board cf Health
has so said. II will be the great
lest Improvement that Marion Cow
tv ever had for it's waterways. For
two years the Improvement has been
delayed. as it turns out by the de-
cision of the Circuit Court all
Judges concmming. Without any
reason on justice fer it. There
was no ground for injustice. there
was nobody hurt, nobody injured
the ccart held. SO YOU see the pc
tit;oners and even the defendants
themselves were injured in their
crops and lands for those two wears
TO an amount that would paid for
enc fourth of the improvement. The
writer hash cen damaged in the past
five wears not less than $4,000 and
| believe Mr.. B. r. Shoots has
been equally damaged, beside hav-
'ng to help paw the costs and at
torneys fees. II is said that Mr..
Fishers getting mp subscriptions
of five dollars a head to continue
to fight this much needed and
Grand Improvement. / can not be-
lieve the good people of Marion
County and there are many Of them
to be benefited by this improve
ment, are going to sit idlv by and
allow further DELAYS to this great
benefit to public welfare, without
Just cause. The people need the
Improvement and need it bad anl
they need it NOW. Why brock Of
delay. Why permit yourselves to
be damaged to an extent, by delay;
that amounts to as much as the
Improvement will cost and then af-
ter all have to nav for the improve
nent also. Marion County in a
few years will get the cost of I'M
prcvement back in taxes and the
formers in crop.

in order to strengthen his position.
His last wife is al daughter Of
Hamo Hocko, an important caid Of
Mcquinez.
This girl was intended for Sui

new sultan went himself to Mequin-

The most significant sign of the
expected trouble in Morocco is that
although the rains have begun the
Moois have not commenced their
customary blowing. In response to
requests that he make general

do so Immediately after the end OF
ramadan which means the end ol

Wild Ones All Descended from Those
Once Oomestieated.

All the honey bees In this country
having originally been imported from
Europe or Aisa, there is no racial diff
ference between the wild ones and the
domesticated; those, that live in trees
are simply the descendants of those
that from time to time have taken

hives and reverted to state OF ma
ture. The vast bulk of the wild bees
are Of the German or black race. while
the standard domesticated bee ID the
Italian; but that, however, 10 only be.
cause the Germans were the first to
be introduced here. Just when the
Germans came is In doubt, but 1t was
some time In the seventeenth centu-
ry; certainly II was not Until near
the close OF the eighteenth century
that any bees were found west Of the
Mississippi. The Indians used to say
they could mark the advance Of the
white man by the appearance Of bees
In the woods. The Italian bees were
first imported in 1860. Better temper
ed and more Industrious than the Ger
mans, they have become popular with
apiraists; but as many still keep the
German bee. and others have the hy-
brid formed by the crossing of the
two races, while countless Italians
now have taken to the woods, there to
breed more hybrids. 1t is clear that
there is no sure way Of distinguishing
between the wild bee and the domesti.

facts stated in recent report OF the
Interstate commerce commission IN
regard to the transactions OF the
Union Pacific Railroad Co., and e.
H. Hartman.
lItsSis further charged that IN the
effort to get as large a percentage OF
the stock of the Illinois Central as
possible, the Union Pacific violated its
charter In buying the stock OF the
Railroads Securities Company Of New
Jersey, which held as its only asset
95, 900 shares of Illinois Central stock
The charge is made that $1,000 shares
of Illinois Central stock belonging
to the Railroads Securities Co., was
transferred a few days before the
Illinois Central books closed, by
sham transaction, to II. II. Hartman
and eighteen officials or the Union
Pacific and Illinois Central, who are

conspired with r. H.. Hartman and
the Union Pacific Railroad Co., to
aid the Union Pacific in getting con-
troll of the Illinois Central. and to
that end, 1t is declared, they pro-
posed to vote the $500 shares OF stock

that the insurance company under
the laws Of Illinois, cannot vote stock

ONE NEDD OF A
PROGRESSIVE CITY

The business and professional men
of Marion have begun an undertake
ing which should meet with hearty
approval not only from all OF the
business interests of the city, but
from all honest men and women
The city has grown to such proper
tions and the business of the city
has grown to the point where some
greater protection needs to be afford
ed those business houses which do
other than a strictly cash business.
This class includes all professional
men, for with them, business Is In
the main done on the credit system.
1t is true that rating companies have
worked the city pretty thoroughly
and have placed in the hands of mer-
chants and professional men. vol
umes and rating sheets which have
some degree of accuracy, but which
upon the whole are not just what
is needed by the local business man.
The time was, and that many years
ago, when every man in business
knew all of his patrons well enough
TO know whether or not it was safe to
extend credit, but that time is past
Marion has outgrown her swaddling
clothes and has advanced to the point
where 1t Is impossible for business
men to keep tab on all of the citizens.
This growth has necessitated a busi-
ness guide or rating system upon
which to do credit business. The
Merchants Association has undertake
EN- the task of compiling such q
guide and keeping it thoroughly re-
ivsed so that it can be relied upon.
To this end meeting has been
called for tomorrow evening at the
Y. NJ. c. A. This meeting should
be attended by every business man,
and every professional man in Ma
rion. Hearty cooperation upon the
part OF all interested can alone ac-
complish the desired result, since only
by united effort can the plan be made
a success.
Surely no business man can fail to
see the advantage OF such a plan,
and surely no honest man who finds
1t necessary at all times to apply for
credit at local business houses could
object to letting 1t be known to all
firms that he pays his debts. Op-
position TO such plan can only come
from the man who has an ak to
grind and who proposes that the busi
mes man should turn the grindstone
for him.
