city It TWO occurred Saturday PIECE OS evening and is UNION of the senti ment of some of the employes in the shops There were two young men from the shops en gaged in purchasing underclothing and the dealer asked them whether they desired to purchase or union suits Either misunderstanding the question or for a jolly one of them re Good Lord we want union suits were scabs And there was all around It is probable that they purchased under clothing CIGARS GO OP Along with the money stringency that came from New York that city sends out terrible news that fifty cent cigars are goini up to seventy five each in consequence of the strike of the cigar makers in Cuba This is simply awful It will come mighty hard OH a lot of the bovs in this vicinity who are accustomed to smoke a 50center after meals They are even talking about shoving the crice up to each and that is nearly prohibitive except to bloated aristocrats and the medical fraternity The majority of newspaper publishers n Fayette county who get only per ear for their weekly papers can hard y afford to take the Bryan token re vived for a years subscription and blow it for an after breakfast smoke and most of us will be obliged to eon ent ourselves with a nickles worth of and alfalfa or a briar pipe loaded with a concoction known as Dukes mixture OLD MAN FELL DOWN It occurred on First street West near the C G W tracks Tuesday morning at about and was a graphic object lesson on the evil of absorb ing too much spirits frumenti An old man probably sixtyfive or seventy years with white hair had consumed too much firewater and fell on the pavement his head striking with a resounding whack He was rendered partially unconscious and two young men assisted the old man to hia feet and steered him toward a stable where it is presumed he slept off bis It was a kindness on the part of youth an old man who should have learned better than to fill up on fire water The affair was a first class temperance lesson to young men It was an interesting sight Tuesday forenoon to see three business men shovelling sand into a wagon on West Charles THEY in front of the SHOVELLED BOW Syndicate Block SAND One is a bank presi dent and the other two are real estate men They seemed to be striving to see which one could aling the most sand in a specified time and say but they sweat some all right It was physical without any mistake The wagon was loaded on schedule time quicker than a half dozen work ex baseball player evangelist That is an average of over 8000 conversions a year Only two evangelist series were held

PREACHERS MEET They Reach a Basis of Cooperation 1 As to the Enforcement of Law in Iowa PESSIMISTIC Probably the reason it is getting to be so difficult to convict a criminal we are getting so mean and vicious that when sitting as Jurors we begin to think that it may be our turn next so we are inclined to Falls Gazette Cheer up Brer Sebille the world is not going to the demnition bow wows as fast as suggestion would indi cate Dont be so pessimistic Take oft those bine glasses and try on a pair of optimistic lens The world is grow ing better with every rising of the son Probably the reason why more criminals are hot convicted is that smart lawyers are able to sway sympa thetic who err from sentiment because they sympathize with the criminal A Genuine Surprise Party Friends and neighbors of Mrs Geo Jellings near Stanley gathered at her home Monde y and gave her a genuine surprise to remind her of her birthday They brought with them well filled baskets a bountiful repast was spread and all did ample justice The after noon was spent in music and games also a guessing contest causing much laughter Prizes were given for the most correct answers also booby for least They presented Mrs Jellings with a golden oak rocker as a memento of the occasion then all departed for their homes many happy birthdays In addition to the fine imposed upon Cleary referred to in another it is said that may tegin suit for damans sustained in the assault of Saturday evening In GOU with young Cooneys father Monday morning it was learned that this result will probably follow but whether the suit be brought in the Su or District court could not be learned If the affair comes before a jury it is problematical what damages Mr Cooney would secure It is probable that the beer did no special good to his clothing and beside it is Claimed that it constituted a slam on his stand ing in the community In the course of the preliminary hearing of Charles Simmons for shoot ing Cabalka not the best feeling in the world was exhibited between County Atty Cooney and the attorneys for the Great Western and the assault of an employe of that road upon the son of the county attorney possibly came as a sequence If a damage suit pokes its nose the horizon with a few days it will at tract general attention and the result will be awaited with much interest i Dss Moines IMor 12 Harmony and much
