Once married said the letter tc the row Luncher and the three hum dred thousand dollars left hy the or. pl an girls father would be hers. Then the letter innocently suggested that for a little n,ntter of five hundred the lady could fee from the stern gunrdia n and come 10 her lover When they were mar nd they would come hack to India na polls and demand the money and then h+gin life.
 It niI looked good {" the cowhoy and he promptly forwarded the required five hundred. Then he waited for the arrival of the girl who was tn bring hin: love and fortune. He waited three months and he wrote good many letters which remained unanswered. Then he drew the rest of his money out of the local bank and came on to se.. if his lady love was heinz kept from him by the cruel hearted guardian.

He pointed out that annually about
1000 persons wrote to his department
asking him to redeem money that had
been partially destroyed by fire The
treasurer expressed a hope for early
currency reform legislation and ex-
horted bankers to devote greater at
tention to agriculture. AT no dis

THE WRONG Plo.

The Waterloo Town Criers, an or
ganization of ad men, are making a
tour OF the principal cities OF the
east Among them is City Editor E.
w Cooley OF the Reporter, who is
sending his paper readable accounts
OF the trip. In one OF his letters he
sent a clipping from the Baltimore
Sun in which It was stated that the
Waterloo delegation included all
classes OF business except burglars
and undertakers." The undertakers
OF Waterloo promptly took exception
to this coupling OF their business with
criminals, and the Reporter Is now
busy explaining what nice man Mr..
Cooley is and how unwilling he would
be to cast aspersions upon an honor
able class of men. As matter of
fact the quotation was not written by
Mr.. Cooley. but was copied from a
Baltimore paper which meant to con-
ey the idea what there were no dead
ones among the Waterloo boosters.
The Waterloo undertakers have the
wrong pig by the ear.

SOCIAL DRAMA TO BE PLAYED

VIII be held at Buffalo the last week
in August will be the presentation of
Eugene Brieux's great sociological
drama, Damaged Goods a play,
which, according to leading New
York newspaper, initiates new
eroch of civilization This play will
be presented by Richard Bennett and
his co-workers who gave the first
American production of the play at
the Fulton theatre, New York, in
March
The story of the play centers in the
disaster which befalls young man
who marries in defiance of his ply
sician's warning, that he is unfit to
become the father of family. The
consequences are overwhelmingly
tragic His child is born to life
Of suffering and shame; the young
wife's illusion of a noble love is ir-
retrieyably destroyed; the grandmoth-
er, crying out in bitterness of her grief,
would offer up her soul as sacrifice
for the tainted offspring but all is
useless. From this climax of tragic
woe the author builds his message of
hope Tor a future generation which
shall not be handicapped by Con
spiracy of silence concerning the
fundamental facts of life
Speaking through the physician Of
the play, Brieux pleads not only for

of water. Only the very tips of the
tops OF the willows on Dundey and
Kimball Islands are now protruding
from the water. A rise of few
inches more will put them out of
sight.
The high water is causing CON
isternation among the vermin on the
islands. 1t is said snakes, rabbits,
mice, etc, seek for the high places
and that tree stumps and brush are
the only refuge. The stumps are al
so covered with ants and Cher in
sects. Many animals have no doubt
drowned. Several Nauyoo parties
who were over in launches brought
back many rabbits and liberated
them.
Several of our citizens have tried
fishing in the new lake but they re-
pors nary bite 1t is thought that
the fish wouldn't bite while the
water was rising, but that after 1t is
stationary again fishing will be good.
OF course the fish are not accumstom-
ed to the new sensation of being in
a new, almost currentless body OF wa.
ter. The lake ought to be fine
spawning place for fish, even better
than were the rapids-the home Of
the big cat.

side and passing in front Of Montrose.
This enables them to make short

lance couple of miles. The boats
being nearer to Nauyoo. and higher
up, they loom up wonderfully and on
clear morning the names OF the
steamers can be read from UP town
in Nauvoo, an impossibility in the
past.
