The Metropolitan Carnival Com
pany having closed what they report
to be a successful season, arrived here
Monday to show until the week end.
Their outfit is somewhat smaller than
it has been during the summer, as
many of the people have started the
winter seasons work in vaudeville
etc. Still the company consists of six
good shows besides numerous other
concessions and the company will no
doubt do good business. Managers
O'Barney and Meyer do not feel like
closing the season without visiting
Lancaster for it was here two years
ago that they had one of the most sue
cessful weeks in all the years of their
partnership. Among the shows are a
dog show. ''Superba, The Jail
Bird" Old Plantation" and Fairies
in the Well. 1.-The managers state
that they have a clean company and
will give the people of this vicinity
their moneys worth. The dog show
is one of their features and one which
no one should miss. The little animals
are all waits, picked up in the city
and trained to do a variety of acts,
high diving, tight rope walking etc.
The company also gives several free
acts.

BLOOMINGTON.
Special Correspondence TO the Herald.


Some short-sighted people blame
our assemblyman (Roethe( for his vote
against making Irvine in the state
prison. While it might cheaper
Irvine for the farmer. it would destroy
tie business of several thousand
American laborers at good wages.
America is by far the best home
market for the farmers In the world
One reason for this is that protected
American laborers can buy more farm
produce than the laborers of any other
nation. The farmers are only one of
many industrial classes, and while
they receive high prices for their
hogs, cattle and corn from the labor
ing man, they must pay the laboring
man proportionately for the goods he
has created. The democrats are short
sighted on this proposition. Besides.
it is radically wrong to place prison
labor in competition with any con-
siderable amount of free labor
Prisoners can be required to do work
which does not compete with free
labor to any considerable extent.
Republican Rally.-On Wednesday
evening we are to have the first Re-
publican meeting of the campaign.
Our party managers are awake at last
The speakers for the meeting are to be
Duncan McGregor, assemblyman
from the south district, John j.
Blame, candidate for state senator
and George B. Clementson, candidate
for district attorney. We hope to
have several meetings during the next
two weeks.
A Costly Smoker The camp ing
party, Oscar Brady and r. w. Hede-
mann of this city and Nick Tiede-
mann, V. L. Showalter and Delos
Edwards of Lancaster, lost all their
camp equipment, guns, ammunition,
store clothes, blankets. etc., in the
last encampment of their journey
from Red Wing, Mimi, to Wyalus-
ing last Tuesday They had made
camp below Wyalusing, and all were
out fishing when the camp went up
In smoke. They saved the clothes
on their back and fish poles-and some
ice. Loss estimated at 5000 and the
cause of much inconvenience. The
boys think they won't go fishing
again for year.
Four Mill Tax. AT a recent meet
ing of our village board it was de-
cided to levy a four mill tax to pay
expenses of the village. Such tax
will amount to $15OS. which probably
will not be sufficient to carry us
through. The saloons had been pay
ing $4,000 license, and this was
insufficient to run the village. But as
it is dry this year, the expenses must
be raised by taxation.

Keeping Children on the Farm.

Every farmer should do all possible.
to keep control of his sons and daugh-
tiers as leng as possible The problem
of the children leav ing the farm is.
one that is more reaching than.
most people realize.
1t is not possible to keep all the
boys and girls on the farm for the
very simple reason that there is not
an opportunity on the farm for all of
them to make q good living
Every boy and girl has an ambition
to at least make good living, and
they are to be credited for the ambi-
tion. If it were possible for each to,
have an opportunity to make that
kind of living on the farm we
would bear less about children leav-
ing the farm for the city.
But under the conditions as they
now are, the surplus of the boys and
girls will continue to leave the farms,
and the best the farmer can do is to.
supervise their emigrations.
Many country parents are woefully
ignorant of the conditions that sur
round their sons and daughters when
they go into the cities. If it were
not for this ignorance. almost no
parents would permit their daughters
to 60 into the hotels in the small or
large towns as Mattresses and cham
bermaids.
When the daughter of a farmer
leaves home, it should be the business
of the farmer and mother to know all
about the employment into which
they are to enter, and to know as
much as possible about the conditions,
that surround it.
For the girl that leaves the farm
house. one of the very undesirable en-
Payments is that of waitress in city
restaurant. Her parents should keep
her out of this if possible.
There are practically no safe en-
pigments away from home, especially
for girls that go to great city.
Probably the safest of all is that of
servant in a home, but this is not a.
kind of service that appeals to the
American farm girl.
The parents of the farm girl bent
on leaving her home for employment
in the city should be suspicious of
all advertisements appearing in city
daily papers. Many of these advert
isements are all right, but some of
them are all wrong, and this is not
generally the fault of the publishers.
Many innocent looking advertise
ments are published that really con-
ceal traps that are carefully hidden,
An advertisement that promises an
easy life and good pay to girls should
be looked upon with suspicion always
as there are no desirable positions of
this kind begging for takers, :
The farmers son if we'll intention
ed, can go to the city and find few
traps waiting for him. But even
in the case of the son, the help and
care of the parents should be given
till the boy is we'll started on some
career. A little help and little super
vision will often go long way to-
ward keeping the newly free
man in the right path = Agricultural
