to keep everyone in good
humor. C. H. Deur was the
first one called upon and re-
sponded, giving a general re-
view of the work which has
been accomplished by the Com
mercial club in the last two
years, while he has been presi-
dent. Ross Mclaughlin was
then called upon and he gave a
very interesting talk on the up
building of Missouri Valley.
He brought out the fact, that
if the younger generation in
connection with the older and
more experienced men would
work together, better results
would be accomplished.
Rev. Father Nolan then re.
sponded with a very able and
instructive talk, touching upon
all the principal subjects of the
city. One thing, he said and
most important, was that the
| Commercial club should use all
in their power in getting the C.
& N. w. r. R., to build a new
depot. applause from the
members.) Mr.. Bullock, of the
Electric Light Co., then gave a
splendid talk on the advertis-
ing of the city. He advocates
that one of the best ways to
advertise is to have the city at
tractive to visiting people.
Mayor Amen then discussed
the sewerage system and gave
a summary outline of the sys-
tenn. The plans have been
drawn up and as soon as posi-
bile work will be com.
imenced on the same.
These meetings are becom-
ing more successful each year
iof the existence of the club and
lit will be safe to say that every
member when going home last
might or rather this morning
thought a great deal more of
the future of Mo. Valley. If
'more of these meetings could
be arranged, work would pro-
gress more rapidly and the
final betterment of Mo. Valley
would soon be seen.

Mud! Mud!! MudM!

Who made mud?Where did it all
come from? Where is going too,
and how long is it going tostay
with US is often asked; to-
day, we heard one man on our
streets even d-m the mud, an
mother fellow was wondering
why the street crossings were
not kept clean? The crossings,
if you will observe, are being
cleaned from 9th to West street.
All day long men are kept at
work trying to keep the cross
ings passable, but owing to the
fact that the crossing are too
low and wagons crossing them,
it is impossible to prevent mud
from accumulating on them.
The city authorities are doing
their best to obviate the bad
condition of our streets and the
crossings, but the only perma-
nent way to remove the present
condition is to pave the streets,
which MIST CANA in tho noor
future.
The city of Mo Valley is bad
ly in need of improved streets.
The streets are positively
dreadful. To emphasize this
fact let me mention a slightly
humorous incident. A certain
young gentleman was seen late
ly running up the middle of
our main street, and as | under
stand, for a wager. Now if
this city had improved streets
it would not be likely that our
young men would get into the
very disgusting and also bad
habit of wagering. A Booster.

A VERY PLEASANT HOME.
All Because of the Way He Solved rns
Closet Space Problem.

L must tell all my brothers how nv
wife and 1 have solved the problem
which so bothers those who dwell
Where there Is but little closet room.
with one dressing case between us,
there was not room for all our things
AS to the closets. they were crammed
full. and even under the bed there
wero many hat boxes. So I purchased
another dressing case.
then took all my clothes. which
mad been crowding my wife's i'm her
dressing case, and arranged them I'm
my own. In the top drawer ! put nv
handkerchiefs, collars and ties and
all those other little articles of flnery
which every man loves so much. In
the second drawer placed my shirts
ana underwear and devoted the lower
drawer to my trousers. neatly folded.
ana my hosiery. My wife was de-
nghted, as II gave her her own dresser
all TO herself and relieved the closet
somewhat.
But I'm a day or so the new rJian
proved to have a, few defects, so at my
wife'S suggestion / emptied one of tho
upper drawers in my dresser. putting
It's contents into the other and allowed
my wife TO use the now vacant recep-
tacle for n few Of her tabots, scarfs.
etc. The second day It was decided
that my shirts and trousers could oc-
cupy the same drawer. the lowest one.
50 this was fixed. and into the second
drawer my wife moved a few of her
petdcoats and such things.
Soon finding that ] was still using
too much space, permitted her to put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawer with my trousers, etc,
thus giving her both OF the upper
drawers and the next and still leav
ing me plenty Of room I'm the one bot
tom drawer.
Since then, however, I have found
that / do not require so much space
for my few things. so have taken them
out OF the bottom drawer and packed
them into a hat box. which ] keep
under the bed. thereby giving my
wife all the drawers in my dressing
case. end the present arrangement
very satisfactory. as all j have TO do
now IS 70 empty the hat box on the
bed when 1 want anything I'm it and
then, when / have made my selection,
sweep the other articles back into
place
ln this way have solved the Grcss.

FREAK TREASURY NOTES.
The Face of the Bill, Not the Back, In
dicates Its Value

Despite the careful scrutiny given
every bill that leaves the bureau of
engraving and printing. number of
freak notes finastheirs ,way, into cir
eulation from time to. time. Such a
one was note that once came to the
subtreasury at New York 1t had the
imprint Of a twenty dollar note on one
side and of ten on the other. But, In
asmuch as the face showed the figures
20. $50 was the legal value OF the bill
In most cases the freak" bills that
have escaped the vigilance of the bu-
reau's officers are national banknotes,
which, like the regular treasury notes,
are printed there. AS intimated al
ready. the face value is always recog-
nized when the freaks" come to be
cashed at any branch of the treasury.
The imprint on the back has no lawful
status whatsoever.
The notes are printed I'm sheets.
Usually there will be one twenty and
two tens on a sheet. They are print
cd one side at time. so 1t can readily
be seen that the printer in turniRg
over the sheet might get 1t upside
down and thus put a ten dollar back
on the twenty dollar note or a twenty
OH the back OF one OF the tens.
When errors are discovered the mis-
printed sheet is laid aside 10 be de-
stroyed. 1t cannot be torn up at once.
for every sheet has to be accounted
for. After some formalites It Is ground
into pulp.
Almost all the freak" bills that have
been issued In the past have found
their way back to the treasury, there
to be destroyed 1t is thought that
very few OF them are now scattered
about. and these are for the most part
