Amos Duncan, our justly famed detective, spent Thanks giving: in the village, returning after an absence of several weeks. He stated that he had been husking corn for farmers in an adjoining county, but we learn from an authoritative source that he had his mail for warded to a big city in the mid die west, where an important criminal case is being conducted by the government. Mr. Dun can, true to his profession, is loath to discuss his private af fairs in the public prints, and accordingly we are not able to satisfy the craving among our citizens for authentic informa tion concerning his recent mean derings. However, we are con fident that Mr. Duncan will ac quit himself with credit in what ever mystery he has been apply :ig his talents to. Bert Maples, our trustworthy tonsorial artist, announces that, beginning Jan. 1, the price of hair-cutting in his establish nent will be increased from 20 to 26 cents. Mr. Maples, in justification of the advance, re fers tothe action of barbers in various cities over the country. He finds further occasion in the fact that the men in the Valley are falling into the custom of al lowing their hair to be undis turbed during the winter season. Dave Doose received a post card from his wife in Caifornia Tuesday. She informed him lie conld expect a letter from her shortly before Christmas.

In the evening the "lUack Hussar" was the attraction, and the theatre was comfortably flllel. A cumber of society folks from this city attended the ball at Masonic hall, Moline, last evening.

"Mabel," said Henry Middleton, "you and I have got to cut down our expens es, or there's going to be serious trou ble. We are not only not saving any thing for the rainy day, but we're spending more money than I am earn ing. You may be able to figure out how It will be possible for us to go on doing that without getting a bump, but I can't." "What do you suggest?" h!s wife asked, trying to be amiable. "In the first place, I would suggest that you cut down on this Christmas present foolishness. It's all right toj buy presents for your mother and your father and perhaps for a few a very few of your most intimate friends; but this thing of sending away car loads of stuff every Christmas Just to show that you have money to buy out the stores or to indicate that your credit's good strikes me as about the worst nonsense Imaginable." "Very well, if that's the way you feel about It, I suppose- I'll have to shut myself up In my shell and forget that Christmas means anything." "But cufing down on Christmas pres ents isn't going to be enough. We've got to economize all along the line, You spend too much money on little 'things without realizing that the dimes ana quarters mat go nere ana tnere amount to anything." "I suppose you never spend dimes and quarters without realizing that they are going to amount to dollars?" "I have mighty few dimes and quar ters to spend.

Let's be reasonable about this thing. I have an idea that I think will help us both to adopt a course which will save us future sorrow. Let's keep a daily ac count of our personal expense, and ev ery night you will look over my list and I'll look over yours. In that way we'll both bo brought to a realization of the money we are frittering away without noticing it. What do you say?"

The newspapers will .be used for the display of instructive illus trated talks, cards will be inserted in the street cars and the school chil dren will be furnished with blotters containing an illustration of accidents and talks on how to avoid them. . The result of the campaign is ex pected to materially reduce the num ber of accidents resulting from street cars and will post passengers on how to board and alight from a car. The women will come in for a large part of the instruction and the many minor accidents that occur almost dally will be entirely eliminated. In brief, some of the "don't" rules to be emphasized are the following: Don't get off until the car stops. Don't Jump on or off a car while moving at speed. Don't get off facing the rear of a car. Don't put your head or arms out of the window. Don't ride on the steps of a car. Don't pull the bell rope. Don't drive out of a cross street on to the tracks without first seeing that the way is clear. Don't, allow your children to run and play on the streets. Don't allow your boys to steal rides on the cars.
