HOpeville Enthusiastic.

Last Saturday Messrs. Barnard,
Jamison, Lewis, and Stivers made a
trip to Lacelle and Hopeville in the
interest of the interurban railroad
to be built to these points. They
found the people along the line and
at Hopeville wide-aWake and enthus-
iastic for the enterprise. A general
meeting of the citizens has been call
ed for Hopeville on Wednesday even
ing, April 18th, to confer as to the
ness men from Osceola will attend
and the enterprise will be formally
presented to the people. We are as
sured by the gentlemen who are pro-
noting the road that capital can be
procured to build and equip the road
and put it in operation during the
present year If the required aid can
be pledged.
Osceola holds the key to the stu
alton. The road can be built, and
through it the trade Of two or three
thousand people now foreign to our
c,ty can be brought here directly.
Every business man in Osceola would
at once feel the new impetus given to
their business. Empty houses would
be filled, and city property would
take on new value. But to secure it
and the benefits to follow the hard
shell which covers our town must be
broken up and genuine enterprise
spirit must be turned loose among
our people. The tight wad policy
never made a good town or a good
country. In the past five years Os-
I'D %x,y~
thousand dollars in public improve
ments. This is all we'll enough, and
it has made our city beautiful, safe
and inviting, but all this expendi-
ture has not brought customers for
our merchants. or afforded perma-
nent employment for laboring men.
With the investment of a small ad-
ditiOnal fraction of that sum now
an enterprise can be secured which
means increased business, new
growth and activity, and a means to
help pay for the improvements made
and the expense incurred. One enter
prise attracts another, and with this
thing secured We can see Osceola en-
terlng upon new growth of prosper
lty and Importance, that will make it
take rank with the other important
cities of the state.
Iowa City has just raised one hun
dred thousand dollars to aid an inter-
urban road from that place toward
OttumWa. Charlton and Corydon are
exerting themselves to raise money
to secure the Rock Island road
through those towns. If, now, Os-
ceola people will direct their energies
in the way of securing this inter-
urban for Clarke county it will only
be in line with the times, and they
will see our city emerge from its
lethargy and forge ahead in vigor-
Gus and prosperous growth. The
power for the road would be general
ed in Osceola, which would mean
abundant power for all and any in
dustries of the city.-Osceola Demo-

warnings are kind. That dull pain

Offered Bryan Two Million Dollars to
| Move to Memphis.

William Jennings Bryan last week
refused an offer of two million dol
lars offered by the commercial in
terests Of Memphis, Tenn, on con-
dition that he make Memphis his
home and move his Commoner print
ing office to that city. The offer was
declined by Mr.. Bryan who said it
was not a money consideration, and
if he looked at it in that light he
would not be worthy of an invitation.
He said he knew he had friends in
the south who would stand by him
and that was why they did not need
him there; they needed him more in
the north. If Memphis is so anxious
to get another printing office located
in that city The Reporter is open for
an offer, and We will not refuse such
paltry sum as two million dollars
either.

the public schools before memorial day
national holidays and flag day to pro-
mote patriotic spirit and to bring
more of the veterans and the families
into those two organizations, That this
