BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.

D. V, Miss Bush likes the merry-go-round better than a boat. Better take the merry-go round with you the next time you go to Baum's. > The celebration at Dunn’s Bridge the Fourth under the auspices of the Modern Woodmen, was a grand success in every way. Every one enjoyed themselves to their fullest extent. We wonder if Will Flores took the two North Judson girls home, after he found the last car was out? He declared, he would go home on the merry-go-round if Herman Finn could yelp louder and keep it a-going. Beautify your complexion with little cost. If you wish a smooth, clear, cream-like complexion, rosy cheeks, laughing eyes, take Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea, greatest beautifier known. 85 cents. A. F. Long.

visit their mother, Mrs. Grey, for a week o r ten days. Jim Pierson, formerly of the old Alter Mill neighborhood, but now near Rome City, and who claimed to have got hurt by a race horse falling with him some time ago, came here with a damsel, we understand, to be nursed a few days before the 4th, and put up at the hotel and stayed until the latter part of the week, when his brother from Morocco came over and gave him some good advice, and he slipped away from Fair Oaks and started for Morocco. When the woman found out what had happened she hired a livery and started in pursuit, but when she arrived at the farther side of the Lawler ranch she found the gates were locked, so she had to return. It is reported she telephoned Jim to meet her at Momence the following day. She left on the evening tram going north. Jim has a wife and one child near Kntman. We see an article in our county papers where it states that there is talk of voting a tax to build about ten miles of. gravel roads in Union tp. Now, we are very much in favor of gravel roads, but before they do anything like this, we would suggest that the township officials get at it and make the roads we have passable at all times of the year. Now, we have a road, the main traveled road from here to Mt. Ayr, that is in very poor condition, This particular part of road is about three and a half miles long, and has always been more or less neglected by our former trustee, B. D. Comer, and the supervisor, who lives in Parr. We had hopes that in the last election we we would have those offices filled with men that would look after the roads a little more equally in the township. But so far it is the same old story. This particular road is two miles west of Parr, and owing to the muck road which needs grading so bad, and the sand bills which are so. steep and high, and brush and timber which one would have to wind around through that a man could not begin to haul a ton of loose hay through any time of the year, with one team at one load. This one-sided business is very disagreeable. The above named .road is traveled more than twice as much as ten miles of the road that we hear spoke of giaveling. I

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

Eqaitable Life Society SqMbNe. Melville E. Ingalls, who was a member of the H. 0. Frick committee that investigated the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society, has long been regarded as one of the leading railroad men In this country. Mr. Ingalls is a native of Maine and is sixty-three years old. He was the son of a poor farmer and earned his first money teaching school for sll per month. He managed to save enough to enter Harvard law school, and after graduating began the practice of his profession in a small town in Maine. Later he went to Boston, where he achieved success. Like Chauncey M. Depew, Mr. Ingalls stepped from his law office into

the presidency of a railroad. Some of his Boston clients were stockholders in the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette railway, which became bankrupt. They sent Mr. Ingalls to Cincinnati as receiver, and he made such a success that upon reorganization of the property he was elected president That small road became later part of tte Big Four system, of which Mr. Ingalls was president for many yean. Last January he retired from active management and took the position of chairman of the board of directon. Like Mr. Depew, be is a representative of the Vanderbilt family, which controls the Big Four. His greatest coup as railway president was the formation of the Joint Traffic association, In which most of the railways east of the Mississippi were pooled. The supreme court of the United States broke up this pool by a decision. Mr. Ingalls has four grown sons and one daughter. He has acquired much wealth. Cincinnati is bls home, but he spends much time at the Waldorf-As-toria, New York. Peary, the Explorer. Commander Robert E. Peary, who since 1886, when he made his first voyage to the frozen north has been almost continuously engaged in arctic exploration, will sail from New York during the first week of July for his last attempt to reach the north pole. He places much reliance on his new ship In accomplishing his purpose. This ship, the Roosevelt, was built in Maine at a cost of $125,000. She is 180 feet in length and is equipped with powerful engines and large She is rigged as a three masted schooner, but Commander Peary will depend more 00 steam than sail. He hopes on this trip to reach the northern shore of Grant Land this season, and then next summer set out on sledges for the final DOO miles that stretch over the ice to

the pole. He has installed the wireless apparatus on the steamer and engaged his entire crew. “I know that when I return to New York two years after my sailing from there I shall bring the good news that I have at last discovered the pole," said Mr. Peary recently. "I have received a telegram from President Roosevelt In which he extends to me the good wlshes'of the American people. Under those circumstances can I be unsuccessful? Never." Mrs. Peary and daughter Mildred will accompany the explorer. Peary’s new ship Is equipped with two deck houses, which will provide ample quarters for him, the officers of the ship and the members of the scientific staff. They are portable, so as to permit of their removal to the shore.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Game of Ma*ie Bridge. In the first place, all the children join hands and form a ring. If the number is large there should be four bridges at the quarter points of the ring, these being numbered one, two, three and four—one opposite three and two opposite four. The bridges are formed by two children, who raise their joined hands for the others to pass under. Perhaps mamma or a friend will play some bright, familiar tune on the piano, which all the children must follow, singing, "Tra-la-la, tra-la-la,” as they dance and skip along, keeping step to the music. They go one or more times around in a circle; then the leader indicates where a “bridge” Is to be made. The children raise their joined hands, and the two children standing opposite in the ring cross the center of the circle. All the others following after pass under the “bridge.” Then, turning to the right and left respectively, the two lines follow the path of the circle as first formed, meet, join hands again, and a new circle is formed. Another “bridge” appears as if by magic, and the children opposite it lead again through it, the while keeping merry with song and step. This Is a very pretty game. Evening F«n. A little game that will make lots of fun Is called “fate." Write the name of each boy guest on a card with a prefix “Mrs.” Then seal up the cards In envelopes addressed to the boys, but, of course, the prefix must not be used In these addresses. A girl now enters the room with a black robe and veil thrown about her and with her eyes blindfolded. The envelopes are all handed to her, and, holding them under her veil, she says in a deep, impressive voice: "I am Fate! Blindfolded, I see into the future and will tell to each boy present the name of his wife. The fate of the girls I cannot see. It is not clear.” Then, taking the envelopes out, she passes them, one at a time, to another girl, who hands them to the boys to whom they are addressed. When all have been distributed a signal is given, and each boy opens his envelope, when be sees his own name with the “Mrs.” before It. This will make a great laugh, of course. 11,300 Worth Of Feed Just Received. One car Small Grain Wheat, 11.25 per 100 pounds. One mixed oar, .Bran, Shorts and Middlings, SI to $1.20 per 100 pounds.
