If Newark would prosper, ©In*
must have water works.
It takes bigger things than a
$25,Out) burn-out to diseoutinige
Newark.
A $25,000 burn-out would have
a disasterous effect on most towns
tlip size of Newark, but Newark
only shakes the ashes off, rubs a
little elbow grease on the wounds
and resumes business with the
same push and energy, just as if
nothing had happened.
Does the Bateaville Guard in
dorse the action of the central
committee in white-washing the
fraud in Barren, Washington,
I'nion and other townships, and
their action in throwing mud op
Big Bottom { A yes or no answer
in plain Knglish is desired.
Can the democracy of Indepen
dence county afford to let the lit
tle (iray-headed clique run things
absolutely according to it's own
whimsical fancies, when the whole
sum and substance of it's political
desires is tq unrighteously perse
cute one of the county's banner
democratic townships? We think
not.
nar.v country folks down in this
ond of the county naturally quaked
and trembled with fear, and pray
ed for the mountains to fall on us.
However, as the mountains re
fused to fall, the little country
raised editor of The .Journal fired
a few hot shot into the Guard, and
has, at different times, tried to
draw an expression from it on the
question at issue, but not a word
has it said.
While the supposed fraud was
all in Big Bottom the Guard fairly
boiled over with indignation that
fraud should be perpetrated in the
fair name of democarcy, but when
fraud is ac nwi.i.v found to have
been committed right in it'a own
town, it says never a word.
This is a fair sample of the
(Juard’s consistency.

Fifteen .'!ont!is-t)lJ Ague# Janies j
Fell From Second Story
Window.
Agnes, the fifteen-months - old
daughter of 15. 15. James, who
lives near this place had a most
thrilling and dangerous experience
Friday night at Newport. She
fell from a second ytury window, a
distance of sixteen feet, and, what
is the more remarkable, escaped
uninjured.
Mr. Janies and hi* wife and lit
tle daughter were en route home
from Grand Glume, where they
had been pearling. On arriving
at Newport they went tp tin* Cook
hotel for (.lie night, and were ns
; igned to a room in the second
story. Their bed -at beside a win
dow, the lower sash of which was
raised. I>ut had a screen over it.
\l>out the middle of the night Mr.
James wag awakened by the cries
of the child, lie supposed she
had fallen out of the bed and
reached over on that side to find
her. Imagine hi* surprise when
his arm ran out through the win
dow' screen!
Realising that the child had fal
len out the window, he jumped
fiantieally out of bed and rushed
down stairs, expecting to find her
mortally injured. However, when
he got to the child she hud pulled
herself up and was standing on her
feet, leaning again t the house.
A earefuly examination showed
that no hones were broken; in fact
no marks of tin? fall were visible
except a scratch on one arm, sup
posed to have been caused by com
ing in contact with the rough edge
of the window screen when she,
rolled over against it and Imr-ted
it out.

which raised such a howl at the

should el(s<c up as silent as a dead

MODERN MUSIC
Much Eetter Than the Poetry in the
Later Songs.
“I observe that one of the lecturers
on a recent occasion has attacked
rather savagely, and rather indiscreet
ly. modern musical productions,”
said a lover of musical harmonics,
to a New Orleans Times-Democrat
reporter, “and 1 was really surprised
at some of the statements. I cannot
believe that he had given mature
thought to the subject. Ragtime, of
course, has become very popular.
The syncopated note has risen almost
in a night and has refused to dow n.
But this kind of music does not rep
jvsent the higher achievements of art
in these modern times. We all love
the old songs. Many of them are
classed among the very highest
achievement sin the art of music. But
the wholesale condemnation of mod
ern musical production is not warr
ranted. There is a line of demarca
tion. The lecturer has failed to draw
it at the proper place, from the way I
view the subject. If lie had said the
later songs represent a lower order of
verification he would haveremained
within the bounds of reason; but when
Jr- attacked the melody of modern mu
sical productions without discrimina
tion lie fell into a serious blunder.
The words of latter day songs cannot
in any way pompare with the words of
tongs that were popular at an earlier
time in history. ‘Under the Daisies/
for instance, is not only a song, hut a
poem of splendid merit. There are
but few prettier things in the English
language. As much may he .-aid for
‘1'he Old Oaken Bucket,’ ‘Oft in the
chilly Night.’ ‘The Mocking Bird.'
the bridge song and many others
which might he mentioned. These
songs have been preserved partly be
cause they are splendidly poetic.
iSongs written in tho.-e more modern
times cannot compare with these
when considered from the standpoint
of poetry. But many of them are
quite as sweet when it conus to thp
harmonious blending of sounds.and
to take a different view of the sub;
joet s-lmws lamentable ignorance, and
a total lack of that nicer discernment
which enables us to understand amt
appreciate the higher achievements
ip the art of music.”
fair land of Poland.
The Ancient Fire Still Burns in Poets
and Authors,
If Poland is dead politically, which
it .-('MTU- to ho. .-ays a writer in the
New York Outlook, it i-s very much
alive in every other way. and that,
after all, is the true life of a nation.
The ancient lire is burning in her
poet.- and authors, ai d the boi ks
which crow d the bookstalls arealmost
bewildering in number. Tlie mw life
manifests itself in herartsand crafts,
and the loyal, noble Pole adorns his
palace with tin products of native
skill. In the Slovyai -ky bazaar, fab
rics. potteries and carvings are dis
played, often the work of peasants,
which ast nish the beholder l>\ their
artistic merit. The national awak
ening has done much harm and much
good; for the Polish peasant, brutal
and ignorant, the marks of centuries
of oppression have vanished, and in
the region of Cracow at least he has
become a new creature, conscious of
h is s t re n g t h, w a Iking t rcct, and w ea r
ing with pride his peasant garb, once
so despised. Long oppressed by the
nobles, never conscious of himself or
of his strength, he has at last been
awakened from his lethargy, and has
become conscious of himself as a
Pole. The Polish languagt has be
come to him sacred, and to maintain
it as a living speech and to leave it as
an heritage to his children he suffers
and sacrifices much.
This may be inconvenient to tier
many. which is now hard at work try
ing to crush the Polish spirit; it does
not lit into the plan of Russia, the an
oient foe of the Pol.-; hut to the cotn
Uton man in Poland the nationalistic
spirit has been a blessing, for it has
given him au ideal to strive for. and
in striving to be a J’ole he begins to
be a man. It i.- not long since #r> per
o nt. of the Voles were illiterate, but
pow that in Germany .and Russia they
<ire not permitted to study their own
language in the school.-, even those
grown up in ignorance study it and
their children are taught it secretly
by the priests, so that the percentage
of illiterates is diminishing in pro
portion to the rigor of the authorities.

This combination is the catfse, and the important cpuse, of

35(000 per year are not sufficient to sppply the demand, as
the Kimball Company is several thousand orders behind in
shipments and is planning further large additions to “The
Greatest Factory in existence.”
What else eould create the prodigious growth which “The
Kimball” has attained, than Liiat the Instruments arethp acme

triumph of economy not possible to competition. The incon
