Hear Band in Rain.

Last week Public Opinion sug-
gested that the Merchants Band
play at the City Park, rain or shine,
because the people were so used to
rain this season that they could
easily stand it. We take the follow
ing from the Independence Bulletin
Journal, which shows that indepen-
ftance people are not afraid OF the
: deings of old Jupiter Pluvius:
"A fair-sized crowd stood or sat III
their vehicles in the rain last night
to hear the Raymond band concert
Despite the weather inclemency the
people were treated to a fine pro-
gram of several numbers. That was
a case where the band and the peo
pie shook their fists at old Jupiter
Pluvius."

Babies as Good as Pigs.

1t may be new thing, but Iowa
is really getting to pay as much at
tention to the babies as she does to
her pigs. 1t Is no longer a disgrace
to raise children. The home woman
is always given more consideration
than the gad-about, just as the stea-
dy working man always stands be-.
ter in the community than the street
loafer. God bless these women who
raise children. When their husbands
die we pension them. And the money
they draw is the best money we ever
spent. Republican.

Richest Girl Married Saturday

Miss Catherine Barker, an orphan
said to be the richest 19.year-old CIR
in the world, was married Saturday
Afternoon at Harbor Point, Mich, to
Howard Spaulding, Jr., son of Mr.
and Mrs. Howard H. Spaulding. OF
Chicago. Five years ago when Miss
Barker's father, organizer of the
Haskell-Barker freight car factories,
and head of a dozen other great in
dusrial concerns, died, she came
into a fortune of over 30,000,900.
Her income is said to be app OXi-
mately $2,000,000 a year. Her hus-
band works for her in the Has
kell-Barker freight car offices. His
parents are not wealthy as money
goes these days. Compared to his
brides fortune, Spaulding is a peer
man.

IMPROVING POP FACTORY.
ID. II. Hill Now Has Model Estal..
lishment on Washington
Street

ID. H. Hill, the hustling proprietor
of the East Side Bottling Works in
DEBORAH has made some fine I'M
provements in his establishment OH
Washington street. He has had a
large amount of cement work put
in. The entire floor is cement and
also part way up the walls all around
the interior of the building, which
enables him to keep it in very san
itary condition. The interior has
been treated to coat of paint, which
makes it very attractive.
Mr.. Hill established this business
in DEBORAH in 1905. and it has been
growing steadily since. One reason
of it is that he has given the best of
goods and service, making an excel
lent variety of pop, gingerale, cider,
etc. His bottling department is a
model of cleanliness. All of the
bottles receive ten minute soaking
in solution of caustic soda, before
being used, thus absolutely sterriliz-
ing them.
Mr.. Hill sends out on an average
OF 300 cases a week, and ships ss lar
south on the Rock Island as Donnan
Junction. 1t requires a large mum
Der OF cases and bottles to supply the
trade, as he has in circulation about
1900 cases, containing q bottle:
each. He also keeps a car load OF
bottles in reserve. HIS pop, etc, is
known far and wide The grade made
is of the best, and he will not allow
any but the best Ingredients to enter
into his beverages, which has salts
fed thousands of rhiIsts during the
past eleven years.
