BAD BARGAIN PROPOSED.

F VEN were there disposition the part of
IL the city officials to permit the Delaware
Water Company to lay pipes on the property Of
the city, the proposed bargain that has been pre-
sented and considered by various city bodies is
bad proposition for the city.
It is desired to secure an additional playground
for the children. The playground idea is an ap-
pealing one, and is taken advantage OF by the
water company TO further its project.
The proposed bargain is that the ground OF the
railroad company shall be leased to the city for
a term Of years in consideration of which the
Delaware Water Company is to have the perpet-
ual privilege to use city property in which TO
place its pipes. The bargain is all on one
side-that of the water company. 1t is mys-
tery to us why some men who certainly have the
interests Of the city at heart should not be con-
cerned in securing more advantageous deal for
the city even were the desirability of surrender
ing the monopoly of the city's water supply con-
ceded-which we do not concede.

WORLDS
BY John M. DOrnsy.

The stars are shining bright,
The crescent moon hangs low,
/ ponder DER Gods might
AS list to rivers flow.
My thoughts they drift afar
As 1 rest upon the sod,
To sun and moon and star,
Those wondrous worlds of God.
I walk in marts OF trade
And some for bread they pray;
Some boast of wealth they've made.
They're here but for a day.
Some live as fashions slave.
Some sell their soul and pen;
They all shrink from the grave,
This is the world of men.S
I burn the midnight oil.
The city streets are still;
I'm worn through hours Of toll,
l read through force of will.
I'm speaking with the dead,
Quite clear to me their looks;
I hear the words they said:
This is the world Of books.
I'm musing tonight alone.
My fire-light's growing dim;
Listl how the night winds moan,
They sound as funeral hymn.
There's faces in the gloom,
There's voices make me start;
Ali me, they're in the tomb.
This is the world of the heart.
A tramp he's dead on the road,
They say "he was one to dsspise;"
Well at length he's rid Of the load,
And now, he's as smart as the wise.
1 gaze with awe on his face,
And these the words I said:
"He's equal now with the race,
He's in the World Of the Dead"

Are You
Sick?

Much sickness is due to
a weak nervous system.
Yours may be. If it is,
you cannot get well until
you restore nerve strength
Your nervous system is
natures power house; the
organs Of your body get
their power from it. If
the power is not there, the
action of the organs is
weak, and disease (sick-
ness) follows. DIR. Miles
Nervine cures the sick
because it soothes the
irritated and tired nerves
and gives the system a
chance to recuperate.
Try it, and see if you do
not quickly feel its bene-
fetal effect.

agement has reposed much in the
charming personality of Miss Mary
Flynn as the Cowboy Girl. Although
Miss Flynn is not more than II years
old and this is but her second season
on the stage. a generous gift Of natural
talent enables her to carry her role
splendidly. The cast is one Of the
largest that has played at the Della

Tegethoff, the French magician who

this week. is clever with his tricks and

attractive in some ways. His English
isn't any too easily understood. but no

stand-off. This is Tegethoff's first ap-
pearance at the local house. and he is
making good.

THEATRICAL

'Tn the Bishops Carriage" last night
at the Grand Opera House was the
limelight by which we may more cor
rectly determine the versatility Of
Helen Grayce and two Of her support
ing company, Edmund Abbey and
George p. Randall The latter showed
up particularly we'll and Mr.. Abbey's
part was so entirely in contrast with
his "Mercutio" of the afternoon and
his king Philip Of Spain" on Wednes-
day evening that we cannot refrain
from a word of praise at the demon
stration Of his versatility. Miss
Grayce's Juliet" yesterday afternoon
was we'll received and shows a close
study. The audiences yesterday were
larger than earlier in the week and the
favor with which the efforts of Miss
Grayce have met, promises to be in
creased by the rendition of "The PIT

dealing with topics Of timely interest.
The engagement Of the company closes
tomorrow. In the Palace of the

The GrInneII News.

Special to imeS-Republlcan.
Grinnell, Dec. 10.-Mr. F. H. Sheile-
barger, of West Liberty, expert scorer
Of poultry, stopped in this city Tues
day last on his way to the poultry show
at Sac City, and scored about seventy
five blooded fowls for different own
ers. He places the average OF those he
examined in this city as high as the
same number he has SO far found any
where in the state.
Judge Mcpherson, In the federal
court at Des Moines, has just rendered
a decision on case Of interest to peo-
ple in this city, in which G.. w. Swords,
receiver for the defunct First National
bank of Grinnell, brought suit against
Julia A. Grinnen ct al to quiet title
in the lease of rooms for the use of the
bank In the Grinnell block. 1t appears
that the original lease by ]. B. Grin
nell was perpetual. After the failure
of the bank and in connection with the
settlement of it's affairs, notice was
served upon Receiver Swords to term
mate the lease and vacate the building.
This the receiver refused to do, and
brought suit as above, which has now
been decided against the bank and IN
favor of the Julia A .Grinnell estate.
Hon. J. P. Lyman and H. r. Boyd, of
Malcolm, were the attorneys for the
bank, and P. G. Norris and Judge r.
G. Lewis for the defendants.
On Saturday Of this week at 10
o'clock, the farmers in the vicinity of
Grinnell, who are interested in the
forming of county farmers institute,
will meet at the city hall and proceed
to organize. There are about eighty
who have already signed request for
such an organization, and, many ex-
pressions of approval of the plan have
been received by the committee hav-
ing the matter in charge. In connec-
ton with the business mems associa-
ton of this city, this organization will
work at this time In the interest of
the coming corn contest, and enlarge
and perfect the plans for the short
course to be held here next year.
The many friends of Mrs. e. R.
Towle, of this city, will be pleased to
learn that she had very pleasant trip
across the water and landed at Naples
on schedule time. From this point she
will go on and visit the missionary sta
tons of the Congregational church in
the far east, and make reports Of her
observations.

SELLS HER LITTLE BABE.
Case of Starving Philadelphia Mother
Most Pitiful One.

Most Pitifui One.
Philadelphia, Dec 10.-Tearing her
6-months'-old child from her breast
and bursting into tears at the yealiza-
ton that she was not to see him for
twelve years or more, Mrs. Mary Leven,
a destitute and starving woman, yes
terday sold her son for $40 to Abraham
and Shendel Kelvin, Of 1919 South Sixth
street.
This was done after a most extraor-
binary article of agreement had been
drawn up in the office of David Apoth-
eker, a notary public.
AS the baby chung to It's mother. the
woman wrote her name at the bottom
Of the agreement, below that of Abra-
ham Kelvin and the child was deliv-
cred over to the ownership of it's fos-
ter parents.
In the agreement 1t was stipulated
that $40 was the nominal consideration,
but the money actually did not change
hands. Moved to pity for the almost
starving woman, Mrs. Kelvin bought
her a pair of shoes and food.
During the drawing up of the agree
ment the mother had been nursing the
child, grooming over 1t as it lay on her
breast. When the paper was signed
and sworn to the full realization of the
separation first dawned on the mother.
AS she kissed the child for the last
time she could no>longer keep back the
tears that were yelling UP. Kelvin
and his wife turned their backs on the
scene, and Apotheker busted himself
with some papers on his desk. But in
moment the young mother had COM
posed herself and with a voice choked
with sobs she murmured:

EXPLAINS CURRENCY SCHEME.
Fowler Attacks Government Savings
Bank Guarantee Ideas.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Chairmar
Charles N. Fowler of the house COM
mittee on banking and currency, gave
out a statement with regard to finan-
cial and currency legislation at the
present session of congress.
mo government should have any de-
mand obligations outstanding because
such obligations weaken and imperil
is constantly losing in the form OF
bonded Indebtedness" he said. mo gov
eminent of any standing or conse-
quence now has any demand obligations
outstanding except the United States
to imperil its credit and disturb the
commercial conditions at any moment
as we'll. Therefore, our United States
notes should be eliminated either by
retirement or conversion into gold GER
titicates.
"The reserves of the banks in any
country should be coined out of the
standard of value of that country. Our
standard of value is gold; therefore,
our bank reserve should be all in gold
or gold certificates, which are the same
thing.
The only true and the most econom-
ical currency is an untrammeled credit
currency. That is, a currency which
is interchangeable with bank deposits
that are subject to check. Such cur
rency very greatly facilitates trade and
commerce, and prevents currency
panics.
ITO preserve and maintain the prin-
ciple of individual banking which is
so strikingly peculiar to the United
States and at the same time secure that
strength and protection that is essen
tial to absolute confidence and an i'm
pregnable defense to American com
merce, we must accomplish three
things:
"First-We must unity American
banking.
Second = We must centralize our
bank credits.
'"Third-We must centralize our gold
reserve.
Neither government savings bank
nor a government guarantee of bank
deposits, which are identical in fact and
principle, should find any place on the
statute books of our country, whose
chief asset, greatest strength and
GROWING glory is the individualism OF
our citizenship"

to show the economic development of

parry. counsel for that corporation to-
day put l.. T. Drake on the stand, in
the hearing of the governments suit,
for its dissolution. Drake, for many
years, was engaged in marketing
Standard products. BE said that $780,
600 had been spent in educating the
people in the advantages of using gas
oline. "The work was so successful
that in 1905 and 1906 the demand for
gasoline equalled the supply" said the
witness Drake said that the company
had patented gasoline stove or gaso-
line engine, and that improvements in
that direction for the use of gasoline
had been made by other people. Drake
denied that the price Of gasoline had
increased three or four times in the
last few years, but said that possibly
the price had doubled since 1897.

Little Stuff of Sufficient DUAL.

HOG MARKET AN ACTIVE ONE
Prices Generally Were Five to Ten
Higher, Holders of Choice Hogs
Finding Broad Inquiry for Their
Glass of stuff-Live Mutton Trade
Retains Yesterdays Strength.

Chicago, Dec 10-Cattle-There was
little stuff of sufficient quality to at
tract any outside buyers, except some
small local butchers, and packers and
buyers We're Indifferent to the class Of
stuff on the market. The market was
dull, but closed steady.
Three days receipts this week total
81 800, against 45,25S a week ago and
64,S5O a year ago, and reasons for the
lower range are thus apparent. Local
coolers are claimed to be we'll filled,
while shippers have not bought an in
creased number proportionate with the
considerable increase in receipts.
Hogs.
Keen demand from shippers and
scalpers, and only a moderate supply
of hogs marketed, made the market an
active one. Prices generally were SOLO
cents higher, and holders of choice
hogs found broad inquiry for their
class of stuff.
During the past six days Chicago has
received 23S,00O hogs. but the market
is only 20@25 cents lower than last
Wednesday, which is not bad acting
Half-week receipts here are about
100000 and the six western points
show up with about $4,000 against
PAS, 900 last week, and $4,000 a year
ago.
Comparisons with last year on the
hog movement are worth nothing
said a trader, because the panic was
a factor then. Country shippers could
not get the money to buy at home and
if they got the hogs to market could
not get money to take back to puy
more. 1t was the era of clearing
house currency"
Big packers are fighting the mar
ket as hard as they know how, but are
meeting. with only Indifferent success.
Sheep.
The live mutton trade retained the
strength which it gained yesterday,
and closed strong.
Sheep trade is a distinct disap-
pointment this week. Heavy muttons.
no matter how good, are neglected,
while buyers are fairly clamoring Tor
lambs. Explanation is easy. Ship
pers want lambs and light yearilngs,
but are not in the trade for heavy
warnings and sheep, consequently
competition is lacking. A few ship
ping orders for sheep would turn the
tide
