one of springs coiled around them
selves. Every accident they turn back
to themselves, every thing is fancied
slight, all activities center about their
likes and dislikes. If they could for

titled "Abner Barrows' Trial." which
was greatly appreciated. On Wednes-
day evening Mr.. Regain will give the
second part of his lecture on The
Fool Taxpayer" and it is understood
that he will give some potent facts
regarding the condition of taxation in
the state of Iowa. He is well worth
hearing. The real point of his talk
on taxation is the underlying fact,
that if all classes would bear their
proper burden of taxation and not try
to dodge the responsibility, there
would be no just reason for the IL
censed saloon. We would have plen-
ty of funds in civic and state af-
fairs without resorting to the license
system. He deserves wide hearing.

TALKS ON TEMPERANCE
Big Meeting at University Park
Auspiciously Opened.

The Temperance Chautauqua, now
being held at the Tabernacle at Uni
versity Park got a good start on Tues
day afternoon. The audience was not
particularly large to begin with, but
the talent furnished will draw in
creased attendance as the days pass,
The idea has prevailed that this chau
to the regular chautauqua in August,
but this is not true The talent is
entirely different emphasizing parti-
cularly the cause of temperance and
prohibition and giving the people in
formation along these lines.
Captain Charles III. Stanley, the
converted comedian, was introduced
at the beginning of the program as
THE California Cyclone" and he Ger
tainly did his best to maintain his
reputation. His representations and
limitations are rich and unique and his
singing is even better Many of his
songs are original and have a swing
and humor to them which Is ir-
ristable. His bubbling humor is
catching and his audiences are con-
vulsed with laughter. And yet with
all of his fun in song and story, he
never fails to point out and prove a
moral truth. which perhaps can be
enforced in no other way. He will
be heard for the last time in Oska-
loosa on Wednesday evening.
al fvn n
afternoon his illustrated lecture on
THE American Small Boy" He
draws his own pictures and is car
toonist of considerable merit. He is
lawyer by profession and is the
only man in Illinois who was ever
elected to the legislature on the pro-
hibition ticket. His illustrated lee
ture In the evening was on THE Fool
Taxpayer" His subject seems
strange, and yet not SO strange either
when you hear his lecture. His aim
Is TO get after and show up the rich
firms OF packers, brewers and other
corporations, who pay practically no
taxes whatever. He insists and
proves the fact that the great burden
OF taxation rests upon the poorer
classes who have been frugal enough
to gain little real estate or perhaps
a good farm, while these rich firms
and corporations, with their millions
OF capital go scott free and pay moth
ing.
He illustrated his points by facts
Of actual experience in the cities Of
Illinois. He told OF cases that had
actually been won In the supreme
co6rt OF illinois. where corporations
ana firms With their thousands and
millions Of capital had been forced
to bear their Just burden OF taxation

New HoIstein Dairy Record,

The best record of milk production
ever made by any cow has just been
published by the Holstein-Friesian
association. The record was made by
De Kol Queen LaPolka End owned by
a prominent New York dairyman.
This COW averaged 100 pounds OF
milk per day for 30 days, giving total
yield of 1868 pounds. Her butter rec
ord for this period was 145.1 pounds
The largest yield of milk in one day
was 1874 pounds. This COW was pur
chased short time ago for $175, and
now an offer of $4,000 has been re
fused.

Market Notes.

The small supply of cattle Tuesday
was not up to expectations and buy
ers were compelled to pay more
money. As rule the market was
not much higher than at the close OF
last week except for the good to
choice grades. The demand was
quite strong from the eastern ship
ping fraternity. The best cattle here
came from the Peoria distilleries.
About 1Oc more was paid for the
bulk of stockers and feeders Tuesday
with strong preference shown for
the good feeders, Light stockers
were no better than steady. The
market was quite active for the coun-'
try demand was strong.
Sheep receipts were small Tuesday
and on that account prices were bet-
ter. Most of the supply was bought
up quickly. The demand was very
good, as packers have disposed OF
their stock of mutton and every buy,
er had strong orders.
