A RAILROAD ACROSS CRAWFORD
Our People Should Be Active for More Rail
roads.

Some day the farmers of Crawford
and the business men of Manila.
Denison and Schleswig will realize
that they have not been active in Sc
curing the railroad facilities which
could easily have been theirs. There
is demand for line of road from
Des Moines to Sioux City and the
towns in Ida. Calhoun. Sac and others
along the ronte which might be taken
have been alive to securing stations
on the proposed route. There is urgent
need for road from Manila through
this county to the northwest striking
Denison, Schleswig. and on to Ida
Grove. We learn from Surveyor
Morris McHenry there is natural
opening through the hills from Manil-
la northwest through the county.
With prosperous times ahead for the
coming years it will not be hard to
finance railroads through good farm
lands. From the following item TAX

be seen that the projectors of road

E. RIEPEN TO KANSAS CITY
This Well Known Man at Denison Moves
From His Kansas Home to Kansas City.

We see in the Westphalia, Kan-
sas, Times items as to Mr.. E. RE
pen, which will interest his friends
in this county. 1t would appear
that he will cease farming and
move with his family to Kansas City.
He has evidently made his farm
operations success. The items are
as follows:
e. Riepen has sold. or rather traded
his fine ranch consisting of full
section of land just east of town for
large flat in Kansas City, Mr..
Riepen putting in his land at $50 per
acre. This means that Mr.. Riepen
and his fine family will soon move
to Kansas City as they expect to quit
farming. They have resided here
ABOUT three years. and this was their
first experience at farming. The
young people, all of them talented.
have added greatly to their neighbour
h ood and to the social gatherings in
t,wn and will of course be greatly
missed. The best wishes of every
one goes with them.
Auctioneer T. C. Rennolds informs
us that E. Riepen has set his public
sal, date for December l6. This
will be the largest public sale OF
personal property held in Anderson or
Cotfey counties during the past year.
At the lowest estimate the personal
property will easily reach eight thous-
and dollars.

In the words OF one of the pioneer
members OF Shorter church, that the
present revival was one of the most
enthusiastic, realizing and helpful
meetings ever held in the annals of
the church. The plans were SO per-
fectly Instituted, arranged and so sue
cessfully followed that the meeting
was success before ii began. Peo-
pie came with cards full of names of
unsaved friends. special prayer was
offered up in their behalf and one by
one the persons whose names were
on the cards unconsciously but yet
impeled by divine force. we're seen
al the altar claiming, rejoicing and
tnen living the Christ, the only true
principle OF life. Not much personal
work was done In this revival as hith.
erto more OF concentration OF
their Righteousness, valuable time was
not spent in argument with sinners
and results were amazingly effective.
But II success could be attributed to
any one thing, II would be that OF
those religious, fiery and inspiring cot.
tage prayer meetings after long fast
and unquenched thirst and determined
efforts on the part OF the Christians
to show their spiritual strength. Moth
ing could have stimulated liyeler
interest, no action of their sincerity
was more convincing and no other
manner could have awakened the
centfadted prayers. efforts and united
action. In the community the spirit.
ual effect is noticeable. as has been In
the past. dances and gay entertain.
ments have been suspended because
OF these meetings. the skating rink

tho homes. fresides and lives have

fathers and sisters hearts have hoen

ing OF Christ by their dear ones. A
different complexion in general Is
thrown over everything and the revi.
val will be one long to be remembered
and cherished by all.

of Hands of Receiver in the
Very Near Future
OPENS DOOR. TO THE WORLD

Financial matters are approaching a
crisis in Zion City that bids fair to
open. the city to the world in real
earnest and steps that indicate the
crisis are as follows:
1.-The approach of Receiver Thorn.
as report, which is stated to be near.
2-The early introduction into Zion
City Of things before prohibited.
3-The frank disposition Of the PEG
pde to break away from the old order
of things and try the new.
Features of the receiver s report ii
is said will be the outlining Of rene
dies for Zion s salvation and the re-
quest for his own discharge.
1t is reported that Receiver Thomas
will strive to settle all OF lions obi
cations at the ealiest possible date and
according to the following scheme:
lie will settle all of the preferred
claims, such as wage claims, against
the estate, to the amount of $4,000
first Of all.
Pile will then deal with the outly
ing mortgages which amount to about

3-The rest of the land will be
turned over to the Zion Investors AS
ISOLATION to dispose Of as it sees fit.
For it's part the investors association
will it is said do two things. 1t will
first give deeds to all lands at present
under long lease or to future purchas
ers. It will then divide land left

body to take over the estate and dea.
with it according to approved plans
after the receiver shall have been dis
charged.
One Of the small straws which show
the way in which the financial vino
is blowing is that the present leases
issued prohibit only the manufacture
and sale Of tobacco and not it's use.
There are today it is stated in spite
of the stern inhiblJlon, many users Of

liberal element will welcome a speedy

raising on large scale in this county

Here as elsewhere the exceptionally hot
and dry weather cut down the yield
materially and the splendid promises
Of the earlier season were unfulflled

any kind of ordinary weather the yield
would be abundant and that the Ike

culture as any in this section of the
state. What beets were raised here
are said to compare favorably with
those raised in adjoining counties in
sugar producing qualities and it is
practically assured that some of the

another to the already long list of
profitable crops.

Some explanation is due the people
of Waukegan, Kenosha and Racine and
especially to the leading Democrats OF
those cities in regard to the telegram
sent out in the name of a prominent
railroad official announcing the com
ing of William Jennings Bryan on last
Saturday evening. 1t is not likely
that the railway man who is alleged
to have signed the dispatch lent his
name to forward any trick to get out
a crowd to meet the Cook county De
mocracy, but if he was fooled or if his
operators made mistake in the name
he should say so. Newspapers have
been accustomed to regard information
coming from the source tnis telegram
did as absolutely reliable and to be
accepted without question as accurate
but a mistake or two of the kind made
Saturday will put them on their guard

MAKE BIG DISPLAY
Manual Training Department of
the High School Does Good
Work in First Year
MAKE GIFT FOR Mr.. JEFFERY

The manual training department of
the Kenosha High School has placed
on exhibit in the parlors of the Y NJ.
G. A. large assortment of articles
made by the students of the schools
and the exhibit certainly makes a
good showing for the department and
for E. E. Better, who is at the head
of the work.
The exhibit shows only the work
done during the first year of work in
manual training in the high school. It
includes Morris chairs, tables, tab
borettes, wall brackets and in fact
nearly every sort of furniture. The
work is all hand work and much of it
compares favorably with that turned
out in the so-called "craft shops"
The students have shown their appre-
citation of the gifts made to the depart,
ment by Thomas B. Jeffrey and splen-
did Morris chair made in the class
room is to be presented to Mr. Jeffrey
by the students. The display shows
that the department is interesting the
boys of the school and that number
Of them are becoming expert me-
chanics.
The committee recently appointed by
the Board of Education to provide for
the extension of the manual training
work is now looking into the matter
and it is probable that report will
be made at the next meeting of the
board. It is planned to extend the
work so as to interest the young
women of the schools in the manual
training department. It is thought
that arrangements could be made by
which the state appropriation could be
held without making extensions of the
work, but the members of the commit
tee believe that it would add greatly
to the efficiency of the schools if man
ual training in cooking and other home
economics could be offered for the
young women. All Of the up-to-date
schools of the country are installing
these departments and while the Ke-
nosha Board does not see at this time
the chance for the work, it is thought
possible that some of the local philan-
thropists may aid the Board in max
ing provisions for the education of the
girls as well as the boys along these
most practical lines. The young
women of the schools are enthusiastic
cally supporting the move for the ex-
tension of the manual training work
in the high school and it is favored by
a great many of the school patrons.

That move to inspect all the tele-
phone, telegraph and electric lighting
poles in the city and to order the 70
moval of all the rotted poles that are
liable to cause accidents, is a good one
and should be carried through quickly
and thoroughly, but we wish that it
had been started before the row over
the payment Of the bills of the tele-
phone company came up in the council.
To q good many people this sudden
concern for the safety of the people
on the part Of the officials will look
a lot like an attempt to get back at
the telephone company.

There is no occasion for the people
who advocate the appointment of a
city inspector of electrical work to
justify the payment by the city Of a
regular salary to such an official on the
ground that his work will result in a
lowering of insurance premiums, for. it
is not at all likely that the insurance
companies would even consider any
thing of the kind. The companies
might use the failure of the city to
appoint such an official as an excuse
to advance rates, but they would never
admit that his appointment should be
followed by decrease. The property
owners would be the ones who would
be chiefly benefited by the services of
such an official and that is reason
enough for his appointment, but his
compensation should be received from
fees alone and another salaried posi-
ton should not be added to the city s
list. Under the fee system the in
spector would be paid for the work
actually done and no more and there
need be no fear that the ordinance re-
curing an inspection of all electric
wiring and appointing an inspector for
the purpose of making such an inspec-
ton would be allowed to fall into dis
use as so many others Of the city ordi-
nances have been and that favored
property owners would be allowed to
dodge the payment of the fees. The
insurance companies would insist on
the strict enforcement Of the ordinance
and for their own protection would
require a certificate of inspection be
fore writing any policies on any build
ing that had been wired for electricity
