NO TROUBLE
AT ELD0N

The excitement lookde for in Eldon
when efforts were made to CLOSE the
saloons did not materialize, and, more
over, the saloons were not closed be-
cause the proprietors were named as
defendants in the injunction suite filed
and the proprietors could OF be found
to have the notices served upon them.
The appearance Of w g. Barba. state
secretary Of the. anti-saloon league.
and John D. Houser. the state attorney
for the league, BODIED trouble. and they
claim they will stay at Eldon until
they have closed the saloons. The in
functions will probably be modified SO
as to be effective against the property
instead OF the proprietors.
While IN Ottumwa yesterday after
noon, MT. Barba, in the name of GER
tain Hldon people filed information
against all OF the saloonkeepers in
Eldon, bill of particulars being made
out against each of the three saloons
now doing business In the city The
three petitions filed are as follows:
Wilson G. Taylor against George
Cline, Annie Mulvaney. J. A. Phillips
and George Shields.
Cora d. Marshall against, Annie
Kane, Annie Mulyaney and A. r. Tufts
Wilson G. Taylor against j, w.
Thompson, P. P. Quigley and Leisy
Brewing company.
Claim Saloons Are Nuisances.
In the bill Of particulars filed, these
| three saloons are described as being
nuisances and conducted against the
law. The proprietors are accused Of
keeping liquor on hand with intent 10
sell. thus maintaining a nuisance. John
%. Houser represents the plaintiff In
each case and In all three the Iaintiff
prays an abatement Of the nuisance,
, asking the court to grant a temporary
Injunction against the proprietors Of
| the saloons and upon final hearing
to make the temporary injunction, a
| permanent restraining order against
the further maintenance of the above
named nuisances
AS q result Of the fling of the suits
against these saloons notices were
made out for the purpose of notifying
the defendants In the various suits
| that such action had been commenced
These notices were taken to Eldon yes.
terday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
qarvin for the purpose Of serving
them upon the defendants in the suits
but not one Of them could be found
as they have all left Eldon in order to
prevent the serving Of such notices
upon them. Not finding the parties
the deputy sheriff was compelled to
return to Ottumwa without having ac-

Foundation 81 Japan.

Every Feb. il is celebrated In Japan
the great annual festival OF Kigenset-
$su, the anniversary Of the foundation
5of the empire by the first emperor,
Jimmu-tenno, B. g. $50. The Japa-
nese reckon their. present era as from
this date, and it was on Feb. III, 1889.
that Mutsuhito, the one hundred and
twenty first Of the dynasty, promnl-
gated the present constitution Of the
empire Of Japan, the fundamental prin-
3ciple Of which is clearly stated In its
first article, .sThe empire Of Japan
shall be reigned over and governed by
"a line Of emperors unbroken from ages
eternal The organization OF a par
lament took place in 1890. which in
the japanese reckoning would be 1850
from Jimmu's setting up his capital at
Kashiwara, in the province Of Yamato,
which is regarded BY Japanese histo-
rians as the beginning Of the empire.

it 10 just az Much Fun and Less Trou-,
BILE Than Real Glory.
1t Is a profound truth that reflected
glory is far better worth having than
real glory, as far as the actual fun OF
the thing Is concerned. The man who
after much struggling has won through
to fame knows all the dra wbacEs to it
and realizes that the game is hardly
worth the candle. But the man whose
only claim to glory lies III the fact that
he Is an acquaintance of the famous
man has splendid time, getting most
Of the kudos with none Of the disad-
vantages. We see great, good man,
let us say Algernon Ashton, and we
envy him. But we feel that his posi-
tiOn must have Its disadvantages. The
strain Of being universal letter pro-
WIDER to the papers Of London must be
enormous Far better the lot of the
man who merely knows Nj. Ashton
and can call him Algy Mr.. Murphy,
the orator, supports this view. 1T Ia
well" he says. ..sGm. Ices III speaking

In bracketing yo,s,sa..sf thus with the
great men of5the worl,l reminds one Of
an eastern saying that there are only
two creatures that can surmount the
pyramids, the eagle and the snail"
We know of scores of men who have
acquired regulations through their
friends. It is the simplest thing in the
world. The wonder is that everybody
does not do 1t, for it needs but little
labor. London Globe. 4

CEDAR FOR LEAD PEN Ills.

Now Bought w the Pound and Grow-
ing Scarcer Each Year.
The lead pencil is one or tile most
common articles in everyday use, and
nearly $4,000 900 pencils are manu-
featured In this country every year.
To manufacture these millions OF pen
ellis there are required no, 900 tons, or
100000 cubic feet, Of wood, SO that
each day in the year 300 tons, or 90,
900 cubic feet. of wood are used for
pencils. Since practically all Of the
wood is red cedar aud since the pencil
industry is steadily growing, the sup
ply Of red cedar is greatly depleted,
yet no substitute has been found for
It, says the New York Times. Leaving
out Of consideration the imported PEN
ellis, the average educated American
over ten years of age uses six pencils
Of home manufacture each year. Ten
years ago he used less than. five.
Red cedar has soft, straight grain
and when grown under best conditions
is very free from defects. Because Of
Its peculiar qualities no equally good
substitute for it has ever been found,
and it is doubtful If any other wood
using industry is so dependent upon a
single species as the pencil industry is
dependent upon red cedar. In fact,
red cedar suitable for pencil manufac-
ture is the only wood the price Of
which is always quoted by the pound.
Strange as it may seem, no steps
have heretofore been taken to provide
for future supply Of red cedar. This
has been largely due to a lack of in
formation on the rate Of growth and
the habits of the tree and to the wide
spread belief that second growth red
cedar never reaches understandable size.
In accordance with its policy toward
the conservation and economic use of
commercial woods the forest service
has made careful study of red cedar
and has come to the conclusion that it
can profitabiy be grown in regions of
its development. Several changes are
recommended in present forest man
agement In order to secure the desired
growth. In the southern forests the
cedar will have to be given a better
chance instead of being considered, as
now, negligible quantity IN Its youn-
ger stages, and many of the forest
grown trees which are now cut for
fence posts can profltably be left to
attain their full development and thus
become available for pencil wood. &

WIFE AS AN INDICTMENT.
South Dakota Farmer AdvertIses For
Prize Farm Hands.

South Dakota Farmer AdvertIses For
Prize Farm Hands.
Daniel Kindred, a prosperous farmer
who advertised that farm hands doing
satisfactory work for him would, in
addition to good pay, have chance to
win the hand of any one of his four
daughters, is renewing the promise
with the number reduced to two,
writes a correspondent from Pierre,
8. D.. in the Duluth Herald. His other
two daughters, having made their
choice from among hands who an
swered the first advertisement, viii be
married soon. ii.:
The first man to win one Of Kin
dred's daughters came from the east,
where he graduated from an agricul-
tural college. Before he was at work
three months on the Kindred farm he
had installed an irrigation ditch and a
stone inclosed fish pond well stocked
with pickerel and bass. Then he piped
the water from an artesian we'll into
the house, where he installed e porce-
lain bathtub. Kindred, who was
pleased with the new man, readily fur
nished money for the innovation.
In addition to these things the man
also cured the cattle Of some disease.
When Kindred spoke to him about
selecting one Of his daughters, he was
promptly informed by his employee
that he had made his choice and had
won the affection of Miss Daisy KIN
dred, the youngest Of the four. The
father gave his consent, and the mar
riage will soon take place.
Early in January another man was
hired on the Kindred farm. He was
not a college graduate, but he showed
mechanical ability in addition to his
farming knowledge. He installed q
small motor and generator at the ar
tesian well and illumined the dining
room by lectricity. Mr.. Kindred, sat
isfied with that part Of the work, pro-
yided funds for larger motor, and
now the whole farmhouse has electric
lights. This man won the heart Of an
other pretty Kindred girl. u
The Kindred farm is on the Missouri
river, forty miles from Pierre, and Is
one Of the best farms In that country.
Mr.. Kindred also owns large cattle
ranch.
