Alfred Rasmussen was the star

that We're entirely new as well rs

picnic supper together in the park
and afterward wandered down to
the bank Of the river. Alfred was
so engrossed with his fair partner
that when he came to the rivers

City Council Makes Appropriation
to Pay for New Light
and Power Plant
Building.
ANOTHER SEWER DISTRICT
Sewer on Bank From Prospect to
River to be Laid-0bjection
to Light Poles.

At the regular meeting of the city
council last night, the appropria-
ton of money from the electric
light fund for payment Of the new
light plant building was made by
ordinance. ~
The money to be paid for the
building is $4,000 and goes to G.
E. Atkinson, the local contractor
who is erecting the structure. The
building will probably be compler-
ed by the first Of next month hence
the appropriation of the necessary
funds for the payment of the same
upon its completion.
One of the important things done
by the council last night was the
creation of a new sewer district.
The one established being known as
district number nine, and embraces
Bank street from Prospect street to
the, Boone river.
"A vacated strip of ground on
Broadway street was sold to Rube
McFerren and the mayor and city
clerk instructed to make out a desd
for same.
Louis Frank, the clothier, has
brought the first remonstrance to
the city against the reconstruction
of the city's pole lines for carrying
the electric light service. He had
communication before the city
dads last night relative to the plac-
ing of a pole at the rear of one Il
his buildings. He is objecting be-
cause of the fact that the proposed
location of the pole comes directly
in front of the rear door. The mat
ter was referred to the city superiE-
tendent and electric light commit
tee
Instructions to the city superin-
tendent to purchase the necessary
transformers of the Wagner Com
pany of St. Louis were given. There
will be something like twenty-nine
of these used in connection with the
new electric light system.
A communication from the Boland
Construction Company of ST. Louis
making an offer on the work CT
mounting the boilers to be install
ed in the new light and power plant
was submitted and read. 1t was lat
err referred to the city superintend-
emit with power to act. The council
then adjourned till next Monday
night.

MIR. GREMpEI's BIRTHDAY
Occasion is in Honor Of Fiftieth An.
niversary-over a Hundred
Guests Invited.

The fine country home of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. E. Grempel on the Highview
road, just west of the city limits,
was the scene of notable gathering
Sunday afternoon, the occasion being
the fiftieth birthday anniversary of
Mr.. Grempel, the well known and
successful harness dealer It was an
ideal day for an event of this kind,
as well as an ideal spot to congre-
gate. The heat of the sun was tenn
pered by the steady north breeze
and the kindly shade of the big
trees scattered about the lawn made
the occasion delightful one. 1t
was day of feasting as well. The
host had wished to make the occa-
sion a memorable one for his guests
and certainly left nothing undone
that would add to the enjoyment Of
the event. The splendid home prov
ed ample to accommodate comfort
ably the nearly one hundred and
twenty five guests who were seated
tc enjoy a delicious course dinner,
skillfully prepared and served un-
der the direction of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Comley. The guests found
their places at the tables by aid of
deintily hand decorated place cards
bearing the name of each. Smilax
and carnations We're employed in
the scheme for table decorations.
The dinner was an elaborate and
bounteous one and it's discussion fur
nished a satisfying occupation of
more than one hour.
Among the honored guests present
were Mrs. Frederick Gotch and Mrs.
Chas. Kurth and daughter, Leone
mother. sister and niece of Hum
boldt's wrestling champion. They,
made the trip by rail that they
might, enjoy Mr.. and Mrs. ~Grempel's
hospitality. Twenty-Five or more
years ago when he was a German
emigrant lad Mr.. Grempel made his
home with the Gotch family near
Humboldt. He was accepted as a
member of the family and Mrs
Gotch says she has always been
proud to claim him as son and re-
joice in his success The venerable
lady was one of the happiest of the
throng.
Mr.. Grempel was the recipient Of
a number of valuable presents which
from time to time will remind him
along life's pathway. That he may
enjoy many returns of the day was
the sincere wish of those assembled.
Those invited were.

CHAMPAGNE PRICES ADVANCED
Scarcity of Wine Sends Up Figures
in London.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON. February %, 1911.
At the outset of season which prom
Uses to be particularly festive, the public
is faced by a very great increase in
the price of champagne 1t is not, the
wine trade insists. an engineered increase
due to the operations of a ring, but the
natural effect of real scarcity.
A wine merchant gave some detailed
figures as to the increase in prices. One
brand which sold at s21.2J a case a year
ago now sells at $3.50; another brand
has increased from $3.50 to $50, and
third from s2O.75 TO $3.50. All round, it
may be stated the increase is about 30
per cent The cause, it is explained, is
simple.
In 1908 and 1869 the champagne crop
failed almost completely, in 1910 quite
completely. The champagne riots have
added another slight complication, de-
stroying a certain amount OF stored cham
payne and also preventing the manufac-
ture of certain quantity. The approach
Of the coronation season is not thought
to be responsible to any extent for the
increase, although ii may be responsible
for adding % to 80 cents a case. coming,
as it does, on top of a market affected by
scarcity.

LONDON DANDIES OPPOSE
LACE ON WAISTCOATS
Tendency Of Mems Dress in ENGLAND
Is to Grow More and
More Sober.
eign Correspondence of The Star.

toreign correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON. February %. 1911.
The modern dandy, who corresponds to
the lace-decked cavalier Of the Stuart
days and the beau of the last Georgian
era, is distinctly opposed to the idea of
having lace of any kind on his waist
coat
The Nottingham manufacturer who, as
reported, has made several waistcoats of
purple and sea-green. trimmed with black
and white lace, which have found favor
among the men Of Nottingham, is not
likely to have the support of the London
leaders Of mems fashions.
THE tendency of mems Dress" said
the editor Of Mems Wear. is to grow
more sober than ever. Grays and blues
and no braid Is the fashion, and. as for
the waiStcoats themselves. the fancy col
ored waistcoat is almost extinct.
Lace may have done very we'll in the
Stuart days. when there were no motor
cars and heavy traffic to scatter mud
spots, but it won't do in this century.
'All attempts to brighten mans wear
have failed. They have tried silk flow
ers on evening dress lapels, and once
there was a seasons burst Of puppies and
green in lounge suits, but the whole idea
of mans wear is to act as a foil, a back
ground to the gayety of the wonen's
dresses, and for that reason lace and silk
flowers will fail just as much as ostrich
feathers in derby hats would"

TESTS FROM EIFFEL TOWER.
Arrow Torpedoes, Dropped on Aeros,
Destroy Them.

foreign correspondence OF me St3f.
PARIS, February D. 1911
The military engineering authorities
have made fresh experiments at the
Eiffel tower with new apparatus, which
will be a terribly destructive machine
when dirigibles and aeroplanes are called
on to play a prominent part In future
warfare. The new apparatus, which was
invented by military engineer. is des-
tined to be used by military av.ators in
time of war to destroy dirisibie balloons.
1t consists of kind Of arrow torpedo.
to be dropped from an aeroplane on the
enemy's balloon.
The experiments were made from the
second platform of the Eiffel tower-tnat
is to say, from a height of go feet. and
the torpedo arrows were dropped on to
an ordinary balloon placed at the foot
OF the tower. Each time the envelope
was pierced by the arrow. the arrow eX-
ploded and the balloon was destroyed
