The Care OF Goldfish.

The secret OF success in caring for
goldfish is to keep the water they are
in fresh and sweet. Their globe
should be emptied and its water re-
newed as often as every second day,
Lift each fish out gently In a glassful
of water, empty the globe, wash IL
again Clear, sweet rainwater should
be used, and it's temperature should
DE raised to 20 or so degrees by warm
ing a part OF It, Sparkling well water
is too cold for the fish to thrive in.
and too pure, for the animalculae OF
rainwater forms an important part OF
the food OF these fish. They need no
other sustenance than a very few
bread crumbs sprinkled in their water
daily, for overlooking will kill them
very quickly,-The Housekeeper.

GEORGE ON THANKSGIVING

Thanksslvin' day comes once year because the
Pilgrim band
Was thankful that they had the sense to leave
their native land
And come across the sea to find stern and rock
bound shore
Where they would never han to bow to bosses
emmy more,
Where thieves would not break In and steal and
trusts would never try
To gobble everything and let the little dealer die
We celebrate Thankssivn' day because the Pill
grins came
In search Of freedom where they knew that they
would find the same,
Where men would be as brothers, where tho
strong would aid the weak,
Where Iibburty would raise her flag on every
erag and peak,
Where biIlionsires would never dare to cheat
for profits sake
Or break the laws that other men we're not al.
lowed TO break.
We celebrate because the hopes hoped by that
Pilgrim band
Have all come true, because there's not an evil
In our land,
Because we have no wealthy ro9ues to plan and
plot and scheme
To make the libburty we claim a vain and empty
dream,
Because our rssnstes 90 to church and teach
And everywhere from sea to sea the Christian
spirit rules.
We keep Thankssivin' day because the man who
does his best
To be an honest citizen is honored by the rest:
He may not have a share OF stock a foot
OF land
But all our wealthy senators are glad to shake
his hand
And hear his plea and guard his rights with all
the jslius care
They ever give the interests Of any millionaire
We keep the good old day because no Idle rich
ignore
The pressing needs Of those where Want IL
scratching at the door,
Because we have such freedom as the Pilgrims
wished to claim,
Because we never IRE oppressed and never
splotehed with shame,
Because we've frightened Greed away and raised
our standard high
And kept the faith for which our slres we're no,
afraid to die

Mems CLUBS From OnuFeheS OF Neodf
Rapids Stir Up Trouble.
Cedar Rapids, July 29.-Cedar Rap
ids is in the midst of a bitter fight for
Sunday closing Of the theaters. The
fight was commenced more than
year ago by committee of twenty
five representing the mems clubs of the
various churches. The movement took
forcible action shortly after the in
auguration of the present administra-
ton and twice members of the COM
mittee appeared before the council and
argued for the enactment of an ordln-
once prohibiting Sunday amusements.
The council heard representatives of
the mems clubs and the theater people,
between 200 and 800 spectators packing
the council room and remaining there
for more than three hours during
fierce discussion of the matter. Those
who are responsible for the movement
argue that the Sunday theater Is de-
grading and demoralizing and that 1t
will lead to further nonobservance Of
the Sabbath. The other side claims
there has never been anything immoral
or improper in the. entertainments
presented on Sundays; that there is
merely a difference of honest opinion
as to what constitutes dissertation OF
the Sabbath, and announced them :
selves as willing to submit the passage
of an ordinance prohibiting Sunday
amusements to a, vote OF the people,
confident that 1t will be voted down.
The council has made no decision IN
the matter, and there IS no indication
of what they are likely to do. But the
committee from the mems clubs de-
clares that 1t will not permit the mat
ter to be dropped

just few gaps.
The Mormons crossed the river and
located AIT Mt Zion. They walked
across the state, passing in a gener-
al way thru the second tier of coun-
ties from the south. At point in
Adams county the big schism occurred
and Joseph Smith, the second, headed
a band of the Mormons to Lamont,
where the Latter Day Saints church
was organized and is still maintained.
The remainder of the Mormons went
on to Council Bluffs where they spent

good run, getting away after Won

was only fair, or the time Of Paddy
and prince would have been equaled.
A bad hitch prevented Black and Tan

money. A poor hook put Corbett and
Sullivan of Sioux City back. A bad
coupling by the Davenporters ex-
tended the time of Dick and Dan to

making a slow run, tho a fast coupling
was made. A slow hitch put the Red

Council Bluffs, July 30.-Luncheon-
cites in drug stores is a matter that
does not interest Council Bluffs drug
gists, for the very simple reason that
no Council Bluffs drug store has a
permit to be violated. Hence the law
can not be made applicable here as in
the absence of liquor permits it is
taken for granted that no liquor is dis
pensed by the druggists.
In the Office of the clerk of the dis
trict court the record shows that two
or three permits were ordered by the
district court at .Avoca in 1900, to run
for period Of three years. The county
auditor. with whom. according to the
statute, every permit holder must file
a bond in the sum of $1,000, has no

Iowa Falls, July 30.-The report that
the St Paul & Des tMoines road would
move it's headquarters from this city
to Des Moines on August / is erron-
eous. Superintendent Seuder stated
today that it would be two or three
months before the change would be
made. as it was impossible to get
things in shape here for such a
change before that time. 1t is under
stood that the road wishes to COM
plete its bridge across the Iowa river

wise complete their terminal facilities
here, the road having used the Illinois
Central depot and yards as terminals.
A new depot will be built here, prob
ably near the farmers elevator
