Edward B. INNER, a native of
Pilot Knob, Mo-, and for five years
a broker on change, has been APP
pointed by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture as an as
sistant at the grain laboratory, SD
Merchants Exchange. He re-
ceived his appointment through
the Civil Service Commission.
Besides the st. Louis Laboratory,
others have been established at
Baltimore, New Orleans, Minne-
apolis, Duluth, New York and
Washington, D. G. Their func-
ton is to determine factors of
quality and conditions in samples
of grain, such as percentage of
foreign material, damaged grain,
moisture, weight per bushel, etc.

From a recent issue of The Cath
Ollie Leader, published in Kansas
City, the following story is told on
one of the old Lronton boys:
"When DR.. B. H. Zwart went off to
New York on his vacation trip last
summer, he decided, as he usually
does, that a taste of salt water
would be about the proper thing to
complete his outing, and soon
planned his departure from the
metropolis. Somehow or other,
when the morning dawned upon
which the genial doctor was to sail
the briny deep, one thing and an
other came up, delaying him until
he had about five seconds to board
the steamer, after having been
properly landed at the dock. He
gave the cabby an extra tip, but
Just as he reached the dock, DR..
Zwart saw the good ship steaming
away then probably four feet from
the landing. Nothing daunted,
and remembering that he was still
an athlete, Dr.. Zwart threw his
baggage after the swiftly moving
boat, striking an inoffensive deck
hand in the effort. Then pulling
himself together with an heroic of.
fort, he proceeded to follow the
baggage. He landed rather I'M
tremendously in'the arms of a fat
man, and the fat man sat down,
but not before expressing his opin-
ion of men in general, and of the
man who locked arms with him in
particular. With all the polite
ness possible, DR.. Zwart apologize
ed to the fat man, explaining that
he took the jump because he could
not afford to miss the steamer, as
he was bound for the coast of
Newfoundland. well, this boat
is landing replied the fat man,
and the cigars were on DR.. Zwart.
Just like those inlanders,' re-
marked the deck hand who had
been first introduced to the bag
gage of the doctor, they can't tell
whether a boat is going or COM
ing" This story has never be-
fore been printed, but it is not
copyrighted and may be passed
along for the benefit of other Sim
landers.'"

During the past week the wealth
or has been very gloomy. 1t be-
gan raining here Sunday after
noon, and rained almost continu-
ously until about Z P. M. Friday,
when it began showing, and to-
day Saturday. the snow is fully
six inches deep. This is certain
ly the worst spell of weather we
have, SO far, experienced this sea-
son. AS l sat and watched the
snow aud sleet beat against the
window panes, my mind ran back
to the many similar scenes which,
when | was a boy, characterized
my old home, tout on the rolling

We need a wagon bridge here
badly, and if our county court

a little fund here at home toward

I was sorry to see Judge Buford
inclined to favor saloons by offer
ing to reduce the license and re-
curing only a majority on the pc

There will not be a saloon in the

trouble about the saloon is that
the poorest people we have patro.
nize them. The man who is able
to buy whiskey never buys it. The
poor man needs the money for his

saloon out of his reach.

NO HORSE FOR TAFT.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 20,-Gener-
al Clarence R. Edwards, ehiei Of the
bureau OF insular affairs. is daily in re-
ceipt Of letters from horseowners all
over this country offering desirable
mounts suitable for Judge William H.
Taft, the Republican candidate for the
presidency These letters have result
ted from story that has gone tho
rounds Of the press TO the effect that
General Edwards has been commits
stoned to purchase a steed for the Re-
publican candidate. the result OF which
is that he has ever since been occu-
pied in explaining that he Is not In
the market for horse.
The other day he received an adj
vertisement Of an enormously large
and strong steed, twenty one hands
high and weighing 200 pounds, which
had been used for exhibition purposes
but which was declared to be admir-
ably adopted for riding by a man
weighing 300 pounds. General Ed.
wards has been surprised by the inn
mense number Of horses OF unusual
size that are owned by horse deal
ers and which have been offred to him
for the use Of Mr.. Taft. What he
regards as a curious phase Of the
horse market, so far as it concerns
large steeds, is the fact that in spite
Of dcnials that he Is contemplating
the purchase Of mount for Mr.. Taft,
there is a constant increase in the
number Of animals offered The sto-
ry that he wants to buy an enormous
ly large horse for the use Of the can
didate seems to be travelling far be-
yond the power Of any denial to ov-
ertake it.

.TAMALESWEREMADE
IN FILTH
WHILE ON OFFICIAL INvESTI-
CATION OF THE ERICKSON
HOUSE YESTERDAY - DR..
FINCH MAKES DISCOVERY.

The rather startling discovery was
made yesterday that the two dark.
skinned foreigners who have been
selling hot tamales in front of one
of the saloons on Commercial street
have been making their product un-
der conditions that are far from be-
ing clean 1t is alleged that they
live III house that is absolutely
filthy, and that the flour and other
ingredients used in the tamales come
| in contact with dirt and germs and
filth of all kinds.
The men themselves, as they stand
on the streets at night, have appear
ed TO be cleanly, and the revelation as
to the surroundings in which they
make the tamales comes as big sur
prise. The information was brought
to light as result OF an investiga-
ton made yesterday by DR.. Finch of
the home where the men lodge and
make their products.
Complaint was made yesterday to
DIR. Finch, as the local president of
the State Aid Society, that the chill
dren in the Erickson home on Astor
street, next to the No. engine house,
were in a pitiable and destitute con-
dition. DR.. Finch went there and
says he found the numerous little
ones to be dirty and uncared for, as
well as ill-fed, The father apparently
drinks his earnings away.
While in the Erickson house-for
it hardly would be called home-Dr.
Finch discovered the fact that it was
there the Greeks, or Hindus, what
ever they may be, have their lodging
and make their tamales. He said the
under which the work is
done are absolutely filthy and consti-
tute menace to health. Perhaps it |
isn't pleasant news to the many who
have been in the habit of buying the
tamales at night, believing them to
be delectable morsels, but so impress
ed was DR.. Finch with what he saw
that he believes the matter should |
be stopped at once. He therefore
,alled the attention Of the city physi-
ian to the unwhdesome condition Of
,ffairs, and it is probable that DIR.
Reames will be vigorous in her prose
luton of the matter.
Incidently DIR. Finch will probably /
