Travelling and Business Mems Associa-
ton was held at the Hotel Julien We'd
nesday night, and in describing the
event, one must needs resort to all the
superlatives of the language that are
synonymous with success.
In the first place, the attendance was
enormous-it was found necessary to
spread dining tables out into the corri-
doris to accommodate the something
over 800 representative Dubuque bust
ness and travelling men that assembled
and the very atmosphere seemed
vibrant with good fellowship and
holiday cheer.
The serving of over 300 people is not
an easy proposition by any means, but
there wasn't a hitch in any of the
courses, and the entire banquet part Of
the program was over in an hours
time No higher tribute could be paid
to Mr.. Mcclure than that which was
voiced by one of the speakers of the
evening, who pronounced the banquet
the best that the association had ever
sat down to in the twenty-seven years
of it's existence.

Waterloo Man Disappears With Funds
of Another

Waterloo, Dec. 31.-Where is Arthur
Campbell, a contracting carpenter, and
whose last known address was at the
corner of Mohawk and Glenwood
streets?
That is question that several peo-
ple would like to have answered. II
for no other reason than just the sat
isfaction of knowing.
1t is believed that Campbell has
shaken all Waterloo snow from his
shoes and taken up residence n
some other community, after having
overdrawn funds to the extent of some
$3.50. Campbell as the contractor
had access to funds provided for the
building of a residence for Albert L.
Hewitt, on Glenwood street. MI
Hewitt is q barber.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of attorneys and officers of the
law and a search is being made for
Campbell. SO far it has been iinpos-
sible to learn whether or not the man
took his wife with him.

BEES HOLD A STREET.
Honey Makers Fortress of Which Pas
sersby Are Wary.


If you walk down the east side of
Fillmore street, about midway between
Broadway and Vallejo, in its most arts
tocratic neighborhood. YOU will see Il
bank of clay Sluping upward from the
sidewalk. and if YOU look close you will
see something that will make you give
that locality wide berth the next time
You take a stroll in that direction.
That particular clay bank, innocent
lookinE as it is, harbors Il strong and
lively colony Of humble bees of the barb
sting variety, and no resident Of Fill
more and broadway or Vallejo streets
cares to approach il unWarily.
The bank is nearly thirty feet long
and is thickly dotted with small holes
which are the entrances to the honey
laden cones concealed within. At all
hours the little busy bee is seen com
ing and going, buzzing into the holes and
out again, very much concerned about
his work and paying small attention to
an onlnoker unless he tempts PrOvi-
dence by TO close an approach. One
Of the bees performs sentry duty in an
alarmingly busineSSlike manner. and it
is usually his warning buzz which
prompts the rash Investigator to back
up and continue his observations from Il
safe distance.
In appearance tie bank resembles a
miniature fort as it rises to good
height over the sidewalk. and the serried
rows of entrances scattered over its face
look like so many portfolios through
which a deadly fire could be poured upon
an approaching enemy. AS there are
probably several thousands of the bees
any attack from the outside would GER
tainly result in victory for them.
The property which the bees have pre-
empted is part of Il piece of unimproved
real estate. Houses will some day be
built there. however, and if the present
conditions still exist at that time, when
the workmen drive the first pick into the
hill there will certainly be something do
