ZION CITY, ILLINOIS VION LACES and many interesting features in their manufacture are on exhibition in one of our show windows. This display is educa tional and every person should see it. From 3,400 to 4,500 bobbins are required to th 2ad one lace machine, besides the beam and warp, making a total when the machine is threaded of 13,000 threads in actual work.

When a machine is fully threaded there are 6,700 miles of cotton on it, enough to reach from here to England and nearly back again. See the illustrations of the various machines in operation where they take in the thread and turn out the dainty, attractive laces- also skeins of yarns, yarn spools pieces of lace just as they come from the machines. Especially interesting is the process of clipping, scalloping and separating. The exhibit is so unique and the values so unusual that a visit will be of material interest to you.

A. leaders are considering a plaii for engaging his services in a cam paign that will break all records. It was in Philadelphia that the whirlwind campaign to raise a million was carried to successful completion under the direction of Mr. Ward. When he announced that he had set twelve days as the time limit for raising a million in the Quaker City, his associates were fearful that he had at last "bit off more than he could masticate." Phila delphia is notoriously slow, but on this occasion the charge of slowness was prove to be a libel.

At the wind-up of the campaign it was found that over the round million, had been collected. Another disciple of international peace is due to arrive in New York to morrow in the person of Baron d'Es-tournelles de Constant, a member of the senate of France. The baron is admittedly the foremost European advocate of the policy of international good will and was the originator of the plan for informal and neighborly visits by groups of lawmakers from one country to an other. Upon his arrival in this city Baron de Constant will be received by Andrew Carnegie and the trustees of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Later he will visit Washington, where he will be entertained by President Taft, and he will then make an extend ed tour of the United States. The trip will be under the auspices of the Ameri can Association for International Con ciliation.

The fiercest blizzard in the history of the United States swept the country twenty-three years ago today, and old- timers never tire of telling of the suf fering and inconveniences lexperienced by New Yorkers in that memorable storm. A story having to do with the blizzard was related today by an editor who was at that time a reporter on a New York paper. "All car lines were put out of business by the blizzard," said he, "and for two or three days not a wheel moved on any of the transportation lines in Manhattan. I was then living in Harlem, and, feeling certain that the paper could never get out without my assist ance, I determined to reach the office or die in the attempt. The snow was drifted in the streets so as to render them almost impassable, but I bundled myself up as warmly as possible and started to wallow through the drifts.

I had to stop at every corner saloon and drug store to get warm, so that at night I found less than a third of my journey accomplished. I stopped at a hotel over night and early next morning started out on the second leg of my journey down town. I did a little bet ter that day, but the coming of night found me entirely worn out, and I had to spend another night at a On the third day I reached the office, but I was so stiff and sore and cold that I could accomplish nothing. was little need of getting out newspapers, however, as practically none of them could be delivered. Such reporters as had reached the office were unable to go out on their beats, the telegraph wires were down, and for the first two days of the storm there had been no news to print.

If there had been, there were only two or three printers on hand to set the type, and no pressmen to run the presses. Finally, there were none to read the papers if they had been printed. When Joseph Petrosino, the great Italian detective of New Y'ork, was slain in Palermo, Italy, two years ago this month, his brother sleuths of the metropolis force registered a solemn vow that, sooner or later, they would cap ture and bring to justice the assassin Since then the detectives have been bus ily at work following-up every possible clue and in Italy today there are a number of detectives from New York and other American cities busily engaged in the man hunt that will never cease until Petrosino has been avenged.

The alligator measured 16 feet and is one of the largest ever taken in these waters. When captured its body wag nearly as large around as a barrel, it apparently having just swallowed a hog or calf and was in a torpid state awaiting digestion of the meal.

Although Mr. Collins is in receipt of this word, Trustee Fulton had as yet received no official notification up to the time this information was given out. Mr. Collins also stated that he had re-1 ceived orders by letter to repair the roof at the plant and to test the tank with a slow fire, but whether this means a resumption of the operating of this plant or not he would not say, although indications are pretty favorable for the plant again being put in operation.

Coffey ville Herald: "Was the jury only flirting in this case?" asks the Independence Star concerning a jury that o4'tto1 mil rt 1 1 off ai 19 a night without agreeing, went to bed, and next morning brought in a verdict after an hour's deliberation. We hardly think so. The probabilities are it was a jury on which there happened to be one or two "professionals" who were figuring on an extra day's pay.

Ditto, who lives at 1020 West Main street, got his foot severely burned with boiling oil yesterday afternoon at the rubber plant. The refuse pipe became clogged and the men were trying to clean it by blowing steam through the pipe. This caused the oil to drip around the pipe and seep into the ground. It formed a crust over the pool of hot oil and when Mr. Ditto stepped around the pipe the crust broke through, sending his foot into the boiling oil.

The employes dressed his foot with linseed oil and he rode home on the street car. Dr. Wick-ersham was called and says nothing serious is likely to result. lie will have to lay off about a week. Independence Awning 'phone 141.

After the murder of Cuoccolo, for which Alfano is now on trial for his life, the Camorra leader fled to New Y'ork to escape arrest and prosecution by the Iitalian authorities. He was arrested here by Lieutenant Petrosino, in April, 1907, and deported to Italy.
