FOR 25 CENTS
The Democrat Made Several People Happy inc Past Week.

Does it pay to advertise in the want column of the Democrat? Well here are few instances which prove rather conclusively that it does. Dur ing the past days the Democrat pub lished just lost advertisements. l:
 four cases out of the five the property advertised as lost was returned to the owners. On Monday the Democra. advertised for pair of eyeglasses which were lost on Bank street; it cost the owner just 25 cents to locate them. On Wednesday a St Bernard dog was advertised as being lost; Democrat lost ad located the finder. On Thursday gold watch was adver- tised as being lost; a 25 cent Demo- crat lost advertisement restored the watch. Yesterday a gold class pin was lost; to-day the finder came to the Democrat office with it.
 A rent advertisement instructing inquires to be made at the Boston Furniture store published recently brought forth thirty-five applicants after the ad had one insertion. Next day a telephone to the Democrat of- flee told a story something like this. s'Cut out that rent ad of mine. l have rented the place. Just 35. people in Quired at the store for that rent"

CREMATION OF GARBAGE.
Many Think Next Fall Will See New
 Plant in Operation.

Although the public is of the opin- ion that no new crematory will be built within the year, as the board of aldermen has made no appropri- ation for the same, nevertheless it is understood that just as soon as a To- cation is selected for the new plant the money for its erection will be forthcoming. The members of the board of health are of the impress sion that by next fall the new plant will be under way, and still seem to think that the city yard will be eventually selected as the site. City Engineer Cairns still favors the sew- age disposal ground, but it is safe wagering that it will never be placed there if the residents of the fourth and fifth wards have any say about 1t. The aldermen for the most part also favor the city yard and think we'll of the plant proposed by Alder man Noonan, who has given much time and work to the garbage ques- tion. His idea is to have q plant of hydraulic pressure such as is used in Worcester. The crematory at Wa terville continues to eat up money for repairs and during the month of October it cost $177. In novem- Der new grates were purchased which with the other repairing done cost $2S5.

SANTA CLAUS HERE.
Wears a Red Nose and Must Be Get
 ting Qissipated.

Santa Claus spent a good deal of his spare moments riding about the town to-day. Somehow, he doesn't look like the real sober faced fellow he used to be in the long ago, and in fact he acted so strangely many were unkind enough to hint that the old fellow has got into the habit of tippling since he was here before. While this may not be so, yet ones suspicious turn in that direction when he looks at the old gentleman's red nose and bloated cheeks. He al- ways had a plump face and ruddy cheeks, but this is the first time he ever sported red nose. Santa Claus had better swear off right away, if not his folks will not recognize him when he returns to his former home in Laughing Valley, and besides if he keeps it up much longer he is apt to get into trouble and spoil the splen- did triumph of long and honorable record the world over.

 Mrs E. B. Kendrick of this city. who acted for the placarding com mittee, had it brought to her zttsn- ton that the cards had been re moved from the cars in MeTide1- The same condition was found in Waterbury. and upon returning to Hartford Mrs Ksndriclz found that the cards had been removed from the cars here. and an investigation proved that the advertising sge1rE had ordered the cards removed The W. c.

 Aspecial car has been fitted up for Vice President George l.. Sands, who will spend a great portion of his time from now on observing work on constructio n. The car consists of sleeping apartment, buffet, dining room and observatory. This car is for the private use of the Vice Pres
 ident, but it's capacity will per-

 There isno definite tims set at
 which it is expected through traf- ] fic will be opened. It is conf ] dently expected, however, that ! the first ofthe year will see M. 6 N. A. trains running into Joplin,
 but it may be several months yet before the road will be completed for traffic to Searcy. There has been twelve or fifteen miles of track laid on the extension be- yond Leslie.
 The management of the M. & N. A. road must have credit for a safe and conservative admin istration of it's affairs. It is to be con graduated that no serious
 wreck, or even one of much con- sequence, has ever occurred on it's tracks. The importance att taching to this fact is no mean affair, when it is taken into con-
 sideration that the Frisco system has lost no less than a dozen of it's fine locomotives as a result of wrecks the past month, to say nothing of the appalling loss of life and destruction of millions of dollars worth of other properties. The M. 6 N. A. road is today shy on equipments on account of loans made to the

Might Slow It Up.

''I admire the pluck you dis play in dealing with the Kansas flour proposition" said a citizen of Berryville to The Tribune dur ing our visit to the fair, "but you are up against it, the demand for flour is so strong now that it can- not be supplied without ship ments in."
 To this statement we half as- scented rather than engage in ar- gument, by telling our friend that we took similar position on the question to that held by the late lamented Sam Jones on pro- hibition. Sam once defined his position by telling a story that ran like this: A man had hold of the tail of scared bull and both were going at break-neck speed. AS they passed 8 by -stander yell- ed at the runaway man to know what he was doing, to which the man replied that he was trying to stop the bull. Why, yon fool," said the other fellow, "you know you can't stop him. , "May be not" was the reply, "but if can't, may be I can slow him up a little.''
 That is the way it is with us, we may not be able to stop this traffic in Kansas flour, but pos sibly we may be able to slow il up little.
