RETAIL MERCHANTS
WILL MEET TONIGHT
HustIine Business Men VIII Decide
About Fall Trade Week in Meet
ing at Commercial Club.

Retail merchants of the city will
meet this evening in the Commercial
club room at 7:30 o'clock for the pur-
pose of deciding as to the holding of
a fall trade carnival.
Since business boom for mer-
chants first suggested itself in the
form of a fall trade carnival there
has been considerable discussion of
the matter, but nothing tangible Las
yet been done. Two merchants visit
ed Burlington and found that the plan
was meeting with success, but this
evenings meeting is the first oppor-
tunity the retailers have OF formulat-
ing their plans, if such a carnival is
desired. which it is believed is. 1t is
urged that all merchants be present at
the meeting in order that the move
ment may be launched successfully.

LIVELY TIME WITH PYTHON
Crew on British Gunboat Has Exciting
Experience When Reptile
Breaks Loose.

Once when the British gunboat Rat
tier was in eastern waters the crew
had lively time looking after a
python on board that got loose.
Besides the python there was on
board big Borneo orangoutang. The
python. which was 1s or 20 feet in
length, having dined heartily on a
deer about three weeks before, began
to feel its appetite returning. and in
searching about its box for place of
egress found one side in bad repair.
It did not take the python long to
come through the weak part, and,
quite unobseryed. it began its peram-
huIations around the boat.
Seeing the orangoutang chained up
a few yards OF. the big snake invited
itself to dinner very much to its
taste. 1t would have been all over
with the orangoutang had not the
quartermaster at that moment made
the discovery that the two pets were
about to be merged into one. He
promptly cut the orangoutang loose.
The latter was up the masthead be-
fore any mischief could be done. and
lieutenant. the proprietor OF the
orangoutang. the quartermaster, and
member Of the crew flung themselves
upon the hungry python-one at the
head, another at the tail. and third
in the middle.
Then the fun began, for the python
wanted to get one OF the aggressors
nicely in its coils, and the men were
determined it should be kept out in
something as nearly approaching a
straight line as possible,
For a minute it was the LAGOON
group all over again. only in this case
the three men and the snake were
SPRAYING over the deck instead OF
standing upright in a classic attitude.
Reinforcements, however, arrived in
hot haste. and about 20 bluejackets,
each embracing a foot OF python, re,
duced the reptile to comparative
quiescence. The procession marched
back to the python's box, coiled the
creature inside, and shut il up. But
the orangoutang sat aloft in the mast.
head a long time before he came to
the conclusion that he was of the
menu for the day.

Has Been at Knoxville.


Young Ross has been twice at
Knoxville to take the cure. Two
months ago, an attendant from that
state institution came here after
Ross after the boy had been on a
whiskey tear" and at the behest of
the officers here and the request Of
the mother of the hoy, he was sent
on his way to the inebriate hospital.
At Oskaloosa. Ross broke away from
the hospital officer who had him in
charge and got back to Ottumwa
where he was arrested and taken to
the institution.
Saturday Ross arrived back in Keo-
kuk and Saturday night was found
on the levee by a police officer, roll
ing and wriggling around in the dirt
and dust near the Mississippi Coal &
Ice Company's warehouse. Ross says
he was released from Knoxville, the
authorities there seeming 10 think he
had been cured and could be trusted.
But it was the old, old story of fall
ing from grace again and the ire
sistible hold that drink had gotten on
the lad. The depletion OF such pic
ture is sad one yet where there is
life there is hope and in time, the
appetite for liquor in the young man
may be overcome.
While in the lookup yesterday
Ross repeatedly asked the officers for
something to drink. and the police
say they have never handled man
who was such a gormandizer of
drink before.
Ross was in no condition els NOR
ming to be taken before Judge Nc
Namara so he had to be left in the
station. Bromide is being given him
continually when the craving for
drink become too strong for the shat
tered nerves to withstand, the bro
mide being a good substitute for
whiskey without the intoxicating eff
feet and possessing nerve quieting
properties
The plight of Cloma Ross Is only
cited in the hope that some other
mothers hayward son may take
warning in time if they have fallen
| in with evil companions and the drink
habit has begun to take firm and
unrelenting hold Ross was about
two years ago, bell boy at the hotel
