Known as a good, active business town
1.-The best of its size in the state. Our
streets show business activity which
always causes comment by strangers.
We have one of the most important
packing plants in the United States,
whose product is the best on the mar
ket In the manufacture of farm ma
chinery and mining tools we are ex-
celled by, none and we have numer-
GUS other factories that are thriving
and prosperous. We have water and
coal and, transportation facilities unex-
celled by any other city in the state.
We have also a gradually increasing
population, but we are compelled to
admit that in recent years there are
other towns in Iowa that are forging
ahead of us. This should not be per-
mitted Our citizens should take hold
in a vigorous manner. we should
have interurban railroads. We should
have more factories, more Wholesale
houses. We should keep our streets
clean, our business houses and resi-
dences up to date, showing general
appearance of prosperity which will at
tract strangers to us. Personally ev-

AN end to the open town, or,
words to that effect voiced by dozen
or more speakers was the unanimous
sentiment. Of the big gathering Of Re
publicans last evening at the ratifica.
ton meeting held in the court house.
Policies to, be maintained were for
mally presented and resolutions adopt
ed. in order, but all through the ad,
dresses of the evening there, was. but
one clarion. cry-a united expression
branding all undesirable citizens and
pledging protection to families and
property. Righteously indignant ut
the low plane which the affairs of the
city and it's attending conditions had
reached, the Republicans and law-lov-
ingEt Democrats banded; together. and
announced their panacea for the civic
ills of the community.
Promptly at 8 O'Clock, in the absence
of Chairman E. H. Emery of the Re.
publican central committee, C.. c.. Por.
ter stepped to the front and named A.
w Enoch and G, e. Witter. chairman
and secretary of the, meeting. & Mr.,

ton and after stating that the meet;
ing. was for the ratification of the nom
inees, he launched into his. address
preliminary to the, introduction of the
nominees.

HIS GREAT SERVICE.
A Illustration of the GeaeeosAty
the Elder DoMaa.

An I1lastration of the Generosity -
the Elder Danaa.
Dumas pere when manager Of the
Theatre HistoriQue was continually
studying the influence of the tempera-
ture on the sale OF tickets-at least, he
seemed to do SO. In fact. this seeming
interest in the showing of the Their
nometer was. like SO many other acts
of his. nothing but an expression of the
proyerbial kindness of his heart.
One day Dumas happened to meet
On old friend whom he had not seen
for thirty years. Where are you going
to dine tonight?' he asked the friend.
Tonight / shall dine nowhere" was
the answer.
''Oh. no." said Dumas; you are mis-
taken You will dine with me-" He
led the friend into his house and gave
him the upper place at his table. The
poor man had not had such dinner
for long time. and Dumas when re-
firing into his writing room after the
coffee said. cit is a matter Of course
that / expect you tomorrow at the
same time"
The friend came the next day, and
the day after this, and SO on for ten
years up to his death. One day, how
ever. he told Dumas that as he was
eating bread he did not earn this ar
rangement could not continue. IF
am not able honestly to earn my meals
l shall not come again. Tell me in
what way I can be Of service to you"
Dumas thought a moment: then he
said: "You can do me a great favor.
You may go to the new bridge every
day and take the temperature by Che
valier's thermometer. The tempera-
ture, you must know, is Of great mo-
ment in the matter of the sale Of tick
cts. Could you do this?''
The poor fellow answered afflrma-
lively and from that time on reported
to Dumas every day, "At noon the
thermometer showed SO and so many
degrees in the shade" And Dumas,
who Of course did not care in the least
about the temperature. replied with the
same regularity: Il am very much
obliged If you only knew what a
service you are doing me!'-Harper's

Pugnacity Of Rats.

A glove manufacturer took from a
cabinet a handsome pair Of brown
gloves. "These gloves are made Of
ratskin,'' he said. 'They look well at
first glance, but examine them care
fully. Look into the skin. The skin.
though soft and fine, revealed on close
examination great many cuts and
scars and scratches. None Of these
went quite through. Nevertheless their
effect was to weaken the gloves great
~. Those cuts and scars" said the
manufacturer, ARE what bar ratskin
out Of glovemaking. You never get a
skin without them; hence you can't
turn the damaged skin into a good
glove. Rats fight so much that they
become at an early age a mass Of
scars. Their torn hides are Of no use
to commerce"
