Sir Henry Parkes and Thomas Carlyle,

and beating her to make her cry for more.

Railroad Business Is Improving In tho
HAwkeye State.
DIES MONIES, March 1.-THE state ex-
ecutive council has just completed its
tabulated statement of the earnings of
Iowa roads for 1895. 1t shows a consid-
cradle improvement of business over the
year before, and the most remarkable
feature is that while in 1894 large
number of the lines or branches of large
systems reported net losses, there are
but four which reported losses in 1895.
The total gross earnings for the state
for 1895 were $37, III 900; 1894, $50, S74,-
600. Gross earnings per mile are: 1893,
So, 029; 1894, 1920; 1895, 81, 43S.
1t appears that 1895 shows q gain of
6.15 per cent over 1894, but loss of
1l.75 per cent as compared with 1898.
Net earnings are: For 1895, $685.
900; 1894, $l0,365, 900, an increase of
21.39 per cent. In earnings 1895 shows
an increase over 1894 and 1893. The
increase over 1898 Is 50 per mile. or less
than per cent, bat it is remarkable in
view of the fact that the gross earnings
are smaller for 1895.

Miss Douglas is IS years old and is q

loose. About $50 the horse arrived in

DIES MONIES, March 1.-THE Repub-

ing last week, at which the manner of
transporting the hosts of Iowans to St
Louis was one of the chief topics under
discussion. The suggestion of taking
the river route met with favor. 1t is
proposed to charter a line of cabin
steamers and passenger barges and con-
solidate them into one solid fleet, which
shall depart from some convenient town
probably Davenport. From all the
information which the central commit
tee has been able to obtain,
it is estimated 5000 Iowa people
will go to st. Louis. For the accommo-
dation of this number it would be neces-
sary to secure such a collection of
steamers that would be magnificent
compliment to Iowa's candidate. Every
boat would be decorated with Allison
banners, combined quartettes would
sing the praises of Allison, bands would
play Allison music. 1t is the intention
to use those steamers for sleeping quar-
tiers. They would afford much better
accommodations than the hotels and
the cost would be much less.

Some New Questions.
CEDAR RAPIDS, March 16.-A number
Of new and important points have arisen
here in a hearing before the superior
court on an application for an injunction
restraining Ignac Sindelar from the
further sale of intoxicating liquors IN
der the mulct law. The testimony ad-
duced at S-days' hearing showed that
he violated none Of the provisions Of the
law in the saloon proper. The rest of
the building was used rs a residence,
and there on Sunday he often sold beer
to friends. This is plain violation of
the prohibitory law, but the question
arises whether his conviction of such
violation would Justify the granting Of
an injunction closing the saloon proper,
where there has been no violation of the
provisions. Judge Giberson has taken
the matter under adyisement.

the progress Of events. Ten days
before the Derby, Hermit broke a
blood vessel, as everybody knows,
and went down in the batting to
100 to 1. The night before the
Derby, Sir John condoled with the
Squire of Blankney; the horse had
not done a canter for ten days, Mr..
Chaplin had given up his jockey,
Custance, and had decided to take
his chance with lad named Daley
on him Sir John took back that
evening 1000 to 20 from Ousely
Higgins. As soon as he got to
Epsom the next day, he went to the
paddock, and there saw Hermit, an
hour before the race, walking about
with his coat staring, and detected,
languid look about him, as il he was
more likely to die on the course
than to win the great race" 1t was
bitterly cold, and snow fell at inter-
walls. Sir John was we'll on Vauban,
the winner OF the Guineas, and
never thought it worth while to
take back the remaining $4,000 he
had stood against Hermit. Fool
that was" he goes on in his re-
miniscences of the event, "for |
could have had 100 to l to as much
as l liked, and in all my born days |
never have been so astonished-
thunderstruck, l believe, is the pro-
per word-as when | saw Hermit
overhaul Marksman and Vauban,
and win the Derby by neck" To
my thinking this is not the denoue-
ment OF the story, though, dramatic
ally, the next scene is the anti
climax. After the horse weighed in
Sir John met the Squire, and,
though, he had won close upon
100000, Sir John says he could see
that his good fortune was marred by
the knowledge that he (Sir john
had lost. "And he then said, Put
your losings into your account on
Monday to my name, and will pay
them"
