FELLOWS As EVANGELIST.

Dexter NJ. Fellows, salve Singer eX-
traordinary for the Barnum and Bailey
circus enterprises, is here on his an
nual visit, and will remain over Sun
day. Fellows has been playing the
circus game upwards of 10 years, and
he has reached the zenith of his pro-
fession. 1t is his business to look after
the publicity end, the most important
of all departments of the circus, and
it goes without saying that he has
made good.
In his younger years one enjoys the
nomadic attractions of circus life, but
as he grows older and his joints be-
come sttffened by age the jog of the
sleeper is not as soothing as it was of
yore. says Fellows, and just now he is
formulating his plans for the future.
Fellows is a past master in the study
Of human nature. He has made a
study of man and his virtues and his
faults. He believes that he has not
yet reached the goal in his LIES labor
that was intended for him.
Saving souls has always appealed
to me as a great work for a man. said
Fellows. soliloquizing to a circle of
his local intimates. I'm a Christian,
and l go to church whenever l strike a
town where l can induce a friend to
escort me to a front pew. The church
es all do good, but there is much be-
yond them seemingly that is left I'M
touched. But the next time you hap
pen into the next town, make it point
to call on some minister and ask him
for a list of the names of the more
prominent members of his flock. Then
call at a bank and ask for the ratings
on these individuals. Then go to some
informed person and inquire where
they get their wealth and if they came
by it honestly. You will find some
thing that will interest you. The best
Christian in that particular congrega-
ton may be working for $3.50 per day
and raising a family of six children,
but you will fail to find his name

week or more. After the clerk had
sized me up closely and asked me
when I took breakfast-this is the
lead to find If you're a three or two
mealer-and when he learned that
would be satisfied with rolls and cof-
fee in the morning instead of beef
steak and potatoes, he made the price
reasonably low. Following me was a
fellow with loud necktie. AS he ap-
preached the register he began bawE
ing out the first-class house here; it
was a dump and a man was a bum
who would hang his clothes there !;
he had tried it and knew what he was
talking about. He asked for the rates.
The clerk inquired how long he ex-
pected to linger. Two weeks at least.
He reminded the clerk that he was
not a tall grass rum; that he was
used TO living right, and that he
wanted a clean and airy room. He
could have it, the clerk said, for $25
week. He crossed his legs, took a
long pull at his cigaret, and said that
was satisfactory. He drew the room
next mine. I've only been here two
days, but 1 have already begun to get
in on the social circuit. I'll post you
next week. BILLY.

His mission was to convince himself
and the other members of the jury
that there was not "sQuealer' in the
room. Mr.. Mumma questioned the
right OF the newspapers to print the
testimony of the jury. To be sure he
was correct in his position.
But Mr.. Mumma was told, "The
Argus is one newspaper that never
has assumed to divulge the secrets of
the grand jury room"
But your paper Is doing it just the
same" the foreman stated.

the paper is giving the public the same
information that you are getting from

Exactly. 1t is so near alike that 1t
looks to the jurors as though you had
access to our records"
You are certainly paying a nice
compliment to the paper" said the
newspaper man. THE truth is, Mr..
Mumma, that reporters for The Argus
daily interview witnesses called TO
testify in advance of their appearing
before the grand jury and, where pos
sible, get the story in advance. If
they repeat the same story to the
grand jury that is none Of the business

see them after they have testified, re

RILLY,s PRIVATE MAIL.

Manitou, Colo.-Dear Tom: I'm
'steen thousand feet above the sea
level basking in the sunshine and
watching the water run up hill on the
mountain sides. You don't believe 1t
that is that the water runs up hill
hCre-and you are saying to yourself
that | have been against a new brand
of water here that has gone up hill
just like the aqua that l am telling
you climbs the mountains. 1 have
often before heard of climba-tree red
eye, but it's the first time 1 ever saw
water strong enough to turn the trick.
Yet I saw it yesterday, and an old
fellow who vowed he had the best eye
sight in some county in Iowa backed
NE up, as did an old lady and her
daughter. l tipped off the climb-a-tree
story to the old lady and she asked
me if 1 came from a prohibition state.
My aged sidekicli whispered to me
wher we got off by ourselves and
asked me if I had any Of the powerful
stuff about my clothes. I said him
nay most emphatically. He explained
his wife was with him; that they were
10th conEStent prOhibitionists, and
that it would never do for one OF them
20 see the other taking drink. He
told me he left his wife back at the
hotel, as she was worn by the trip in
the mountains they took the day be-
fore. and he felt just like getting a
couple of drinks inside his lining to
sec how it would act or him. l gave
him a bit of fatherly advice to hold
10 his victory over the demon. but
when we got back TO town he harped
at me so persistently that l slipped in
a place after dark and secured him a
small portion of the vile stuff in a bot
tie. You would have hollored to have
seen the greeting he handed me the
next morning He dubbed me a life
saver. I asked him if his wife got

GETTING THE NEWS.

Local newspapers set a new pace
during the past two months in
printing the gist of the testimony of
grand jury witnesses in the frarernal
insurance inquiry. Heretofore, il Rock
Island county, a newspaper did not
assume 90 even intimate the character
Of the business before the inquisitoriaI
body, much less dare to repeat the tes-
timony of witness, on pain of citation
for contempt Cf court After the insur-
ance inquiry had been in progress a
few days, members of the jury seem
ingly were shocked at reading in the
newspapers in substance the testimony
of each witness who had been called
before the body to tell what he or she
knew. This started another invCstiga-
ton by the jury. The states attorney
pleaded not guilty, as did other at
taches Of the court body, to the impli-
cation that there was an Official leak.
Mr. NIagill suggested that it was not
an easy matter to prevent reporters
from getting the news, particularly in
a matter of the Importance OF that be-
fore the Jury. He said that reporters
worked in devious and mysterious ways
to get information that they had 10
have for their papers, and it was not
improbable that they were listening
through the keyhOles, or had a tele-
phone attachment resting on one of
the transons. However,. no such eX-
tremes were resorted to.
D. w Mumma, foreman Of the jury,
personally called upon the newspapers
and demanded to know where the pub

VALUABLE LEMON.

A Rock Island county man, shortly
after his marriage, presented his wife
to an old friend. Some days after
ward he met the friend again.
What do you think of my wife, old
pal?"
The friend paused for an answer
and doubtless was preparing to pay
the young woman a neat compliment
when the husband applied the brakes
with this interruption:
You don't have to answer. l know
I drew a lemon. but you ought to take
a peep at the bank roll that went with
her"

day morning happened to be down in
the business district. The banker was
standing in the doorway of his place of
business. 1 had a letter to mail and
was without a stamp. l did not know
where l could buy one at that particu-
lar time, and l asked my friend, the
banker, if he could stake me. He said
he would be glad TO do so. We walked
into the bank and he passed me out
stamp. 1 thanked him, and thought
no more of it, until, a month after
ward, when called for my book after
having had it balanced. In scanning
the columns showing how much and
when l had drawn against my account,
1 saw charge of , cents. l ponder
ed, and then suddenly recalled the
stamp. OF course, l never mentioned
it; neither did he. 1t was a legitimate
obligation, 1 suppose, but did you ever
hear of such a thing having been done?
1t taught me a lesson, however, and
that was to keep track of the little
things. Many times l have given away
two and three stamps TO a friend who
was caught in the same predicament
that I was that Sunday morning, but

FROM THE VALLEY CLARION.

Amos Duncan, our detective, has re-
ceived photographs of two young chaps
who deserted from the United States
navy at San Francisco. He is expect
ing them to come this way, and he
| searches every train that stops at the
Valley depot eastbound. There was a
fellow wearing a blue suit on last
nights train that Amos was suspicious
end brakeman.
Doc Tillman has been in st. Louis
He found some of the summer shows
great take-offs, but he says the best
take-off he has yet seen is the SaIome
dance.
Miss June Miller, while playing GRO
quet on the Dudley lawn last Tuesday
afternoon, fell down and wrenched her
back between the woodshed and tn
kitchen. She will be able to play GRO
quet again in a few days.
Ben Dilley, the popular chief of our
| fire company, has been criticised for
being away from town on the Fourth
of July when Dave Phillips house
burned down. He explains that his
understanding was that there was to
be no fires on the Fourth, and he
didn't see any need of his waiting
around doing nothing on a national hol-
iday. Ben favOrs a sane Fourth, and
we are with him. Dave Phillips has
not yet found his insurance policy. He
is of the opinion it was burned up, al
though he has Detective Amos Duncan
conducting a quiet investigation TO see
if there has been any skulduggery
played on him.
There are rumOrs that another livery
stable is to be opened in the Valley. II
