You have always got the best
threshing coal at Henry Weber's, and
got it at the lowest rates consistent
with a good clean, economical coal.
You know the kind you got last year
and the year before and Weber Is anx-
ious and ready to stand or fall by ev-
erything he sells. II your coal last
year was the best and cheapest. come
back again. He has prepared for q
bigger trade and is fixed to take care
of all his old and the rapidly increas-
ing list of new customers.
He has also made arrangements for
extra help and will have man to
load your coal on your wagon and all
yola will have to do is to hold your
horses, or if you are busy and will tel
ephone him he will call at the feed
yard and get your team and load up
your coal and return your team to the
feed shed.
The reason Weber's business has
grown from a small retail place on a
residence street to the biggest business
in central Iowa, is plain to every one.
He gives square deal; brings expert
knowledge, big purchases Of fuel and
a desire to serve the public interests
to his aid and that Of his customer.
Try him. Talk with him about coal.

REFLECTOR BILL AGAIN.
Council Having as Much Trouble As
With Rouse Cow.

Council Having as Much Trouble a.
With Rouse Cow.
The Reflector's bill for $46.50, for
printing the board of health rules in
supplement form, gives promise OF
causing the council as much trouble as
did the Rouse COW. It has been put
down for regular order of business,
and comes up at every meeting. At the
adjourned, session Monday night the
council spent most of its time thresh-
ting over this bill, and then adjourned
without accomplishing anything Of
financial interest to the Reflector.
Good brought up the bill, moved that
1t be allowed in full, and spoke for Its
allowance. Herman seconded the mo-
ton to allow the bill. Previously the
council had ordered warrant drawn
for $24, which is the price that the
Reflector bid on 1000 copies, the NUM-
Der ordered by the council in a resolu-
ton that Is on record.
Gregory reviewed the situation to
date as follows: The city was first
billed by the Reflector for $3.50 copies
at $3.50. At the price per thousand the
bill did not figure out right, and
should have been 1891. Mr.. Thomp-
sons attention was called to the dis
crepancy, and ordered the amount
changed by phone, This was not done
because Mr.. Thompson had sworn to
the bill, in effect that 346.50 was a true
statement of the account. It was stated
that the figures were not correct as to
the number, and instead Of being $3.50
the number should be $500. But even
at this change the amount could not
figure up $46.50, but rather SASS.
The council had ordered 1000 copies
printed. at $24. The Reflector had taken
upon itself to print $3.50 or $500, as
the case may be. and charged $3.50.
Mr.. Gregory said that the only thing
the Reflector was sure of was that 1t
wanted to get $46.50 out of the city.
Mr.. Thompson insists that he had or
ders to print 1000 copies instead Of
1000, but so far he has refused to say
who gave him the order. City Clerk
Derby, In whose hands the order
rested, ordered 1000 copies, as the
council directed Derby offered to pay
the difference in the cost If the Re-
Hector would show him who gave the
order for the extra 1000. Gregory said
he would vote to pay the difference If
the Reflector come out and say who
gave the order.
Psenicka made an appeal to pay the
bin as rendered. saying that Mr..
Thompson was newcomer, was not

WATCH THE BABIES.
ThI. !. Hard Season Of Year on Little

This is Hard Season Of Year on Little

This is the season Of the year, above
all others, that mothers should watch
the babies. The hot weather makes
the milk question harder to solve, and
there is constant danger OF milk be-
coming soured. If fed after 1t has
turned milk will cause bowel trouble.
Another danger is in green apples.
Duchess apples are now falling to the
ground, and 1t is an easy matter for
youngsters to get hold Of them and eat
them unawares. That the danger
from cholera infantum and summer
diarrhea should be guarded against
now above all other times, will be the
advice of any physician whom you

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin: The els
covery by an Iowa editor that the meas
ure OF Longfellow's liiawatha is the same
as that Of the ancient epic of Finland
known as The "kalevala' had been made
by many others before. him. The facts
in the case do not Justify the iowa editors
conclusion that Longfellow was a plagiar-
list. Everyone familiar with the subject
is aware that Longfellow freely admitted
his indebtedness to tine t'ianish epic. which
was no greater than the indebtedness of
Robert Burns to the Edinhurg poet Robert
FERGUSON for one of The measures in
which he cast some Of his most charac-
teristic compositions.
When Tennvson wrote The Charge Of
the Light Brigade" his words kept time
to the beat of Michael Drayton's mag
nificent lines OF The Battle OF Agin-
court" There was more warrant for
charging %Tcnnyson with plagiarism than
there is for putting such an aspersion
upon Longfellow. Yet no student of litera-
ture regards Tennyson as a plagiarist.
What Longfellow did in "1I!awatha'' was
to fit Indian legends to the measure of
the Finnish saga. Schoolcraft, who had
collected the legends. felt much aggrieved.
and THOUGHT that Longfellow was indebt-
ed not to the 'Kalevala," but to himself.
