Hon. Julius johnson of Moline, Hi

grand old state, April Is, 1871, at
Lynn, Henry county, where his highly
respected and honored parents who
were among the early Swedish settlers,
still reside. He received his early edu-

The entire south side was shocked,
then thrown into tears Friday morning
of last week when the news came that
Lawrence Williams DePriest, eldest son
of Alderman and Mrs. Oscar DePriest,
had drowned in Lake Michigan at the
foot of East 34th Street.
Lawrence, as was his custom, had
gone to the beach for his daily swim.
An expert swimmer, he had braved the
deep water for a distance of IS feet
out, but when he started the return
trip he was stricken with cramps-the
dread of all swimmers despite
the assistance of his chum Robert An
derson, was carried beneath the water
and to his death. Unfortunately, all
the swimmers present were youngsters
and most of them inexperienced in such
a situation, and it was only after re-
peated efforts by Francis Mccormick
and others, covering an hours time
that the body was brought to the sur
face. A pulmotor was at once put into
service but to no avail. The body was
taken to R. w. Green's morgue. Mean
while frantic efforts were being made
to locate Alderman DePriest who was
finally found in the Office of Mayor
Thompson in conference. Mrs. De-
Priest had gone down town on a shop
ping tour and only learned the dreadful
news when she returned to her home.
Utterly Frustrated, her grief and suf-
fering were indeed heartrending.
Like wildfire the doleful news spread
over the city and the bereaved home
was soon besieged by fearful, heavy
hearted friends, extending to the striek-
en- family sympathetic offerings of con-
dolence. From Friday to Monday morn
ing a continual stream of weeping
friends came to the saddened home
Men, women and children of every
walk in life came to the bier of Law
renee, the beloved, fitting testimonial
of the splendid, upright, though short
life he had lived. Mothers and fathers
spoke of his manliness and politeness;
boys and girls testified to his good ma
ture and friendliness. By Sunday even

MsoFe Than Century Ago Great Brit
ain Dreaded Visit Of "Warship
Of the Air"

One hundred and thirty-one years
ago the balloon, a French invention
of that time, gave an unpleasant feel
ing Of insecurity to England, which,
however, has had to wait for actual
overhead invasion until the Zeppelin,
the air-monster of today, appeared.
The fear was even then entertained
that this French invention might be
used by the natural enemies Of the
British race. A British caricature is
mentioned in Chambers Book of
Days as having been published in
1884, entitled "Montgolfer in the
Clouds, Constructing Air-Balloons
for the Grand Monarque." The
grand monarque was then not Louis
XIV, but Louis XVI. In this the
French inventor is represented
blowing soap bubbles and saying !:
"Oh, by Gar, dis be de grand inven-
ton. Dis will immortalize my king,
my country, myself. We will declare
the war against our enemies. We
will make des English wake, by Gar.
We will inspect their camp, we will
intercept their feet, we will set fire
to their dockyards, and by Gar, we
will take Gibraltar in de air-balloon ;
anda when we have conquer de Eng
fish, den we conquer de other coun-
trie, and make them all colonie to de
Grand Monarque."

paper mans entire stock in
trade. These two are all that
he has to offer for sale to the
public, and no one has as yet
given any sort of satisfactory
reason why he should ever be
asked by anyone to donate
them.
One thing newspaper people
will never be able to under
stand is why any person will
walk into newspaper Office
and make himself, or herself,
an object of charity and insist
upon what they would disdain
to ask for in any other shop
or place of business in the
town. The principle is the
same in the newspaper office
as in the dry goods store, the
grocery, the drug store, and
what a great many people
need is to recognize it as the
same and get off the newspa-
per list.
Advertising space i n the
newspaper is for sale, not to
give away. 1t has a certain
value in itself that makes it
worth money. Copies of the
newspaper are for sale not
to give away. If they are
worth having, they are worth
the exceedingly small price
asked for them.
The public, or at least a
large portion of it, has some
very erroneous ideas about
these matters, and it is but
just to the newspaper folk that
their ideas be corrected in ac-
cordance with the same bust
ness principles that prevail in
all other business establish
ments.
In a vast majority of cases

part of the newspapers is bliss
