DISCUSS eRlnnELL's WELFARE.
Conference Of Voters Held and Various
Speeches M de.

Special to Times Republican.
Girinnell, March 10.-In spite of the
binding snow storm that prevailed
here last evening, there was a good
sized audience of voters out to hear
the discussion of matters pertaining to
the welfare of the city, at the confer
erce of combined brotherhoods at the
Methodist church. After the buffet
luncheon, MIR. S. I'll. Crosby was called
upon as the first leader in the discus
sion, and presented an outline of the
commission plan OF city government,
and then gave clear and comprehen-
sive review of the financial history of
Grinnell for the past few years. show
ing where and how the resources had
been expended, and accounting for the
present Indebtedness.
He was followed by Mr. Harold IL.
Boyer, who presented a carefully pre-
pared paper in which In clear, logi-
cal, way he pointed out many needs OF
the city, in both the getting rid of un-
slightly and unsanitary objects now on
hand and in the bringing in of many
things that are absolutely essential to
the general comfort, health and good
taste. He emphasized the fact that the
responsibility for civic reforms rested
upon the voters. and that the people
should take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity for selection of suitable candi-
dates for the various offices at the
coming primary.
EN- Mayor r. G. Coutts was the next
speaker and he spoke from experience
of the burdens attendant upon the fill
ing of the official positions, and the
necessity of choosing capable business
men, EX-Councilman DIR. U. M. Hib-
belts emphasized ideals as being of
more importance to the community
than even finances or the primary or
paving. He deprecated the introduction
of the scent picture and VAUDEVILLE
shows, with their rag time music. and
the menace to the health of children
and youth in q crowded skating rink,
with no attention paid to ventilation,
and made an earnest plea for keeping
high the moral standard. The subjects
were then open for general discussion
and earnest appeals were made on var
ious lines by Messrs: II. w. Spaulding.
e. H. Bump, Prof j. ID. Stoops, Hon.
w g. Ray and others President q. e.
Janney. of the Grinnell Pad and Blank
ct Company, who has recently moved
here from Ottumwa, suggested that the
way to get a good mayor for Grinnell
was to pay him $1,000 and that he
would contribute $50 to that end. and
that Mr.. Spaulding should give $3.50,
which Mr. Spaulding readily agreed to
do. The discussions of the evening were
enlivened by several songs by a male

HAIRLESS CHICKS NEXT
Scientific Club Of Washington
Hears of An Important
Discovery
NO PIN FEATHERS IN THE STEW

Hairy as Monkeys - Why Not Hair

Its invitation List.
Especial Correspondence

Washington. March 10-The Cosmos
Club of Washington, as anybody might
know from it's Greek name, is the club
inhabited by the scientific high brows
of this capital. 1t is Americas most
distinguished collection of ultimate
wisdom. 1t knows all about everything,
and incidentally it is the richest and
most prosperous club IN Washington.
SCIENTISTS. literary people, statesmen
not politicians, however-and eminent
folk in all the strictly intellectual av-
enues constitute it's membership. Poo
pie of eminence in all the departments
of cerebral dynamics, from many
consider membership in the Cosmos
Club as the evidence that they have
really arrived.
So 1t is that the Cosmos Clubs dis
covery of the featherless chicken is re-
garded as of the greatest significance.
The club sat on this discovery in SOL
emn, scientific state. There is no doubt
of it, The featherless chicken has ar
rived, and it's ultimate influence on
household economics is not to be over
rated
DIR. r. H. Chapmen Of the geological
survey told the wise men about 1T.
Fifty absolutely featherless chicks
were born-that is, hatcheds-last sum-
mer from an incubator on farm near
Delhi, N Y, which DIR. Chapman was
spending his vacation there. They lived
thru the summer, but froze early in
the fall. DR.. Chapman took notes with
great care of their daily experiences,
and the Cosmos scientists listened with
bated breath as he read his report on
the phenomenon.
The naked chickens, he declared,
didn't like their condition. Hair re-
storer, vaseline and other things were
used in the efforts to induce feathers
to grow, but without avail The chicks
lost appetite, their modesty was con-
stantly being shocked by the curios-
ity of a prying world, and when cold
weather came they died early.
But to the Cosmos scientists, the
question of profound concern relates to
the possibility of developing breed of
hairless chickens that will not season
the stew with pin-feathers, nor require
in the kitchen the difficult work of
picking. DR.. Chapman pointed out with
eloquent earnestness the benefits hui
mainly would derive. He did not doubt
that men in native state were once as
hairy as monkeys; civilization substi-
tuted clothes, and the hair vanished.
Why not likewise with poultry? The
club is deeply stirred, and further ex-

perimentation in bald poultry Is con-

Social Washington is really startled
at the evidence that the Taft admin
istration is going to set the stamp of
social correctness and superiority on
the people who composed the Taft
Philippine party in 1905 Not that
these folks are not strictly good form
socially; some of them are already of
the inner circle of society, both Off
cia and unofficial; people like the
Newlandses. the Cockrans and the
Parsonses But there were also in that
party q good many common or garden
members of congress, with neither mil
lions nor social prestige, whose admit
lance to the places of honor and dis
tinction at the White Houses inaugur-
alton day is highly important socially.
The invitation to that luncheon on
inauguration is a badge of social &C
ceptablity which has a peculiar value
this year because the Inauguration day
luncheon is to DE a very personal af-
fair The company is made up, not on
the basis of political or diplomatic sta
ton, but of those friends whom the
Tafts want present. Washington is
full of people who get invitations for
official reasons, who might starve III
they didn't have those reasons in their
behalf But nobody has been invited
on this occasion for such reasons. 1t
is distinctly unofficial and personal
affair, and it gives the new presidential
family opportunity thus early to indi-
cate that old friends of the family are
to have a goodly measure of precedence
at the White House.
1t violates no confidence to say that
the people of that party are the envied
of all Washington these days. They
are apparently closer to the new presi-
dent than anybody else, and Mrs. Taft
is especially devoted to them. Half of
congress would today give years
salary to have been with that party.

Stockers and Feeders.

Soft. leaky weather is not conducive
to Improvement in the market for
stockers and feeders. Country buyers
We're scarce and the local traders were
rather discouraged. Receipts are small
and there is not much material on
hand to trade with, but quite enough
to supply the demand. Most country
lockers prefer the good to choice ma
terlal. A large percentage of the re-
ccipts sold at $4Q5.

CATTLE CLOSE STRONG
Best Steers Sell Readily, But
Medium and Common Slight

HOGS LOSE MOST OF ADVANCE
This Was Due to the Failure of Pack

in Prices-Wooled Sheep Alone,

Lower, Prices.
Lower, Prices.

Chicago March 10.-Cattle closed
strong, on better sorts, after an open
ing which suggested slightly lower
levels. Best steers sold readily. but
medium and common were slow and
q tritle lower than Tuesday.
CAN for cattle is considerably more
healthy than a short time ago, and 'l-
tho killers are reluctant to pay pres
ent higher prices, they have as yet not
failed to find an alternative. Shipping
inquiry continues quite good ana the
demand on export account is also rath-
err satisfactory. With these competitive
bidders taking a moderate quota OF the
supplies local killers seem i'm poor
way to attempt much Of bear cam
paign as long as the country contin-
ues to ship cautiously. Contrary to GUS
tom, the late big advances have not
resulted in any feverish rush Of feed
ers to unload cattle and save feed bills.
There seems a growing tendency m
stead to buy Il little more corn and
hold cattle a little longer in hopes CT
further betterment in the price basis
This bullish spirit has hit the trade q
little sooner than expected this sea-
son, but it is here, and the optimistic
ones say it will continue in force. No
very wildly bullish predictions are be-
ing made these days, following the big
advances which have been scored IN
the past two weeks, but the trade gen.
orally feels that March is going 20
prove a very good month thruout and
present strength in the general mar
ket surely isn't indicative of any de-
cded reaction in the trend Of affairs as
probable in the immediate future.
Muddy feed lots are causing numer-
Gus of the feeders to cut loose. but
generally the marketing these days is
coming from strong hands, q good in
dication that the late up turn has nat
been the means of bringing from COW
err cattle which the holders have been
desirious of closing out because of high
priced feed or lack of confidence in the
stability of the demand in coming
weeks.
Hogs.
Hogs opened strong. but closed with
most of the advance lost on failure OF
packers to follow the initial advance.
Two loads of prime heavy sold at $500.
Sheep.
Wooded sorts were steady, but
clipped were slightly weaker. Lambs
were 1Oc lower, shorn being especially
weak.
Live mutton trade does not show any
material change. The native lamb crop
is about exhausted and it is not ths
season for many native sheep or ewes.
What native lambs do show up are
of indifferent or inferior quality. Colo
RADIOS, on the other hand, are coming
better and are doing the market-top-
ping stunt this week. Sheep feeders
are believed to have cleaned up pretty
we'll, but some mature stuff is doubt
less being held back to be SHARED.
The two-day supply Is considerably
lighter than last week and even less
than year ago.

BRISTOL IS NOW A WET TOWN
Several Saloons Are Preparing tc
Open Up.

Bristol, Va.-Saloons win open in
the Virginia half of the city at once,
as a result of Judge kelley's decision of
the now famous local option contest,
which grew out of the election of July
s, in which the vets won by a major
ity of 80. Judge Kelley sustained the
contention of the contestees in the con-
test, and decided that a majority of the
legal votes cast in the election were in
favor of license. He quickly denied a
motion of counsel for the drys to sns-
pend his order and refuse license until
their appeal is passed on by the higher
court, announcing at the time that he
will on Wednesday grant licenses to all
who may be entitled to them under the
law. The decision is a sore defeat for
the drys, who have spent a large amount
of money in AN effort to have the vote
of the recent election changed so as to
show a majority against saloons.

Memorial for Baldwin.

The attention of Gov. Noel has been
called by Capt. William T, Rigby, chair
man of the Nickshurg National Military
Park Commission, to the fact that a
number Of states which were represented
by troops engaged in the Investment and
the defense of Nicksburg in 1869 are
making preparations to place in the park
suitable bronze tablets or other memo
rails to the commissioned general of
ficers who were in command OF organl-
cations.
OF the general officers on the side OF
the defenders, only one, Gen. William +.
Baldwin, had been commissioned as such
prior to the movement of Grant toward
Nicksburg, and he had the distinction OF
being the only native Mississippian who
had reached the rank of brigadicr-general
included in Pemberton's army at that
time. Capt. Rigby suggests that it might
be well to place this fact before the
legislature and recommend to that body
that steps be taken to place a Gen.
Baldwin memorial in the park.

A New One About Napoleon.

A new story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply SO old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur NJ. Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published.
1t relates to Napoleon and Bluecher.
The emperor received the general at
the castle of Finkenstein, while he was
preparing for the siege of DanZig. He
drew him to a window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on his
military gifts, and Bluecher, going
away delighted, described the inter
view to his aide-de-camp. What a
chance you missed" exclaimed the
latter.
You might have changed the whole
course of history"
How"
Why, you might have thrown him
out of the window"

HAD TO PAY FOR APPLAUSE
New York Opera Singers Are Being
BIackmailed.

New York.-Detectives have been re-
tanned to break up an organization of
men who are said to nave melted a con-
siderable income from grand opera sing
ers who prefer applause to Kisses. Ru-
mors several seasons old that certain
opera singers employed persons in the
audience to applaud them were given ere
dence by the management of the Metro
politan and Manhattan opera houses
when they declared that such singers
had been the victims of blackmail AMI
that whatever money they had given
was more to prevent being Missed than
to obtain applause.
According to several ~well-known sing
ers, they had been approached by mem
bers of this band who had plainly in
formed them that unless they paid lib
orally for applause their singing would
be Kissed. Experience showed that those
who did not pay were Kissed. The man.
ayers declare that they will break up the
practice.
