county enjoys a largo degree of
blessing. whose press is nnmuzzled
by money or social influence, whose
editor can cry aloud and spare not

Absolutely Pure
NO ALUM, NO LIME PHOSPHATE

They are open hearted, loyal and
ever ready for. manly devotion to
every good work. Nature presents
a very different aspect as compared
with the up country" There ia
more land in proportidnttot the num-
Der OF inhabitants. The population
Is for this reason more widely dis
persed. Means Of communication
is correspondingly more difficult.
The roads are not as good as they
are in counties more densely popu.
lated. The reason for this is obvi-
ous. 1t should be said, however,
that there is a good deal of improve
ment now being made in the roads.
Several miles of permanent road
was built last year. Then we lack
railroad facilities. The immense
resources Of the county would in
crease very much in valuable returns
if we had the necessary means iof
transportation. The lumber is be-
ing utilized by means of temporary
railroads known as timber roads. -
Wood for fuel has no market value
at all. The soil is good and yields
large returns when properly cult,
waited. This county, along with the
others, made very large crop Of
cotton. Much of it is still in the
fields and if the signs do not fail
will remain there The corn crop
wasgood and 80 was the other crops.
Owing to the large crop and the low
price of cotton and the extensive
use of commercial fertilizer the
financial condition Of. the people Is
not all that could be desired. Not
withstanding this / think we may
look forward for better times this
year. e.:
To all our friends and to the edi-
tor and his force we send our cordial
greetings and our best wishes.

AGAIN ACITATINC

Promoters of Mississippi Valley
Association Breach Their
Project.

Agitation for the immediate organ
ization of the proposed Mississippi
Valley Baseball league is on again, W.
II. Reed of Waterloo having taken the
matter up with F. o. Van Calder OF
this city. Information from Reed is
TO the effect that Belden Hill of Cedar
Rapids is waiting for the word and
that Moline, Cedar Rapids, Clinton and
Waterloo are all ready TO join the pro-
posed circuit while Rockford has in
timated that it too might affiliate with
the new combination especially if GER
tain changes occur in the Illinois
Wisconsin league of which it is now
member.
Reed says that he hopes Rock Island
is in a receptive mood and agreeable
TO the formation of a new and COM
pactly built circuit in which pod
baseball can be supplied without the
present yearly losses sustained by the
TkreeEye league magnates.
MJ. Van Calder has interviewed sew
eral baseball men here and the ma,
joTity of them seem to be in favor of
the new league even though it seems
probable that Rock Island will be in,
vited to rejoin the Three-Eye league
next year
1t is the hope of the promoters of
the Mississippi Valley organization
that Davenport and Dubuque can be
added 10 the list.
The Tnree-Eye Is due for some
changes this fall in view of the fact
{ that several of the teams have lost
money this year. II is said that Dav'

FIRE ENDkNCERS
WHOLE BUILDING
Tar Tank Used in Roofing Job
on Twentieth Street En-
veloped in Flames.

Famed by a high wind, flames
which enveloped a pitch tank used in
a roofing operation on Twentieth
street, communicated themselves TO
an immense pile of creosote blocks
piled III the alley against the Bill
burg saloon. 221 Twentieth street, at
10 o'clock this morning, and for a
while threatened TO demolish. the
building. Immense clouds of black
smoke completely enveloped the north
side of the structure, and the flames
communicated themselves To barrels
of tar standing nearby. The hot tar,
running out of the tank. made rivu-
lets of flames which threatened wide
spread damage, and only prompt
work on the part of the fire depart
ment prevented a serious confiagra-
ton.
The rooms above the saloon are
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Bill
burg, who were driven from the place
by the dense smoke which soon filed
the interior.
Furniture. rugs and furnishings were
ruined by smoke and water. and the
saloon part was also more or less
damaged by smoke. The exact loss
has not been estimated.
II is the supposition that the tank
sprung leak, thus permitting the
hot tar to run down upon the glowing
Goals, soon converting the vat lhto
a seething mass of flames.

ploye at the New Harper hotel, yes
terday noon, as he rushed up and
down frantically bewailing the loss of
a pOcketbook containing S57. which
had disappeared mysteriously from his
clothing. Rushing up to a waiter nam
ed McCluskey, Legas pointed an &C
cusing finger at him, and shouted.

then ran to the telephone and called
the police. who upon arriving on the
scene, placed both men in the lookup.
Just 90 minutes after the police had
gone, John Ryan, head waiter. dis
covered the missing purse lying on
the floor behind a sideboard in the
cafe,
1t appears that the whole thing was
a practical joke. Legas is a bus boy
at the cafe and carries out the used
dishes. He has not been in this coun
try very long and consequently has
been made the butt of many Jokes
since his employment at the hotel be
gan.
Several times little articles have
been taken from him and after he had
bemoaned their loss for a while they
were returned to him. 1t appears that
the affair of Yesterday was merely a
recurrence of the perpetual joke, but
the sum was too large for humor.
