Can't Draw the Line.

DAVENPORT, Ia, Oct. 21.-Davenport
has an ordinance requiring BARRIERS to
take an examination as to their prof
cheney before license will be issued
permitting them to work at the business
A barber named Hurd refused to take
the examination and was arrested. The
police magistrate decided that the law
couldn't touch him if, after being in the
business for 25 years, he declined to take
an examination to test his competency
to continue his work in the future.

Union Veterans Union.

MARsHALLTowN, Ia, Oct. 20.-The
Union Veterans union of Iowa met in
it's second annual convention in this
city. The proceedings SO far have been
spirited owing to the fact that in his
annual address Commander j. B. Nor
gan took occasion to severely crit else
the action of President Mckinley in APP
pointing General j. Rush Lincoln of
the agricultural college at Ames as a
brigadier general, thus, as he claimed,
ignoring the officers of the Iowa Ma
tional Guard and insulting the Union
Veterans, as Lincoln was Confederate
officer.

Since her earliest memory Olga had
never been given a penny to spend
without the accompaniment of eau
ton to use it to the best advantage, as
there We're few to follow. Later her in
satiable need of Injuries beyond her
reach had been gratified by the mount
ing up of bills, but the unpleasantness
of debt had followed and eaten half the
pleasure. AS David Temples wife she
found herself for the first time able to
command money, and she spent it.
Luxuries became needs, fashionable ri
valries troubled her, and she lay awake
devising competitive extravagances. 1t
was her ambition to be not only the
beauty Of her set, but famous beauty
and the most talked of woman of her
time. Celebrated bellies of the past had
found place in history either by their
splendid gallantries, wit or by the orig
inality of their caprices
The age she lived in did not view the
first with the palliative wink belonging
to the days of Charles II and Louis XIV,
the second was beyond her; but a
startling outlay of money by beauty
of good position could create a heroine
in this money worshiping time.
"You are splendid, Smedley Joyce
said to her, surveying her with monocle
held up. "You need splendor. You re
the very one to set the pace in society.
We have no social successes here worth
mentioning unless except myself. But
you can become leader and attract ri
walls. That sort of thing gives verve to
society. The day will come when Amer
lean society will not be the vapid thing

nontraveled France will at least have
heard our names. You are beautiful,
young, rich and capital actress. Use
your gifts we'll, startle by your original
tiles, make feature of the drama in
the drawing room, spend all the money
you can command in a way that will
create notice--do these things, and you
will be a success.
Olga laid the lesson to heart. Her
country house Oh the sound, purchased
from fallen millionaire, soon outdid
in cost and display her town house. Her
next craze was for horses, and she had
stables built with stalls of oak and trim
mings of copper. A chic Marie Antoi-
nette boudoir on the upper floor was the
most bizarre touch, and small musicale
given there attracted the reporters OF
society gossip.
She produced at her own house an old
comedy of sufficient frankness to create
a sensation among her familiars and
make the curious of humber status ache
for a sight of her. She made sensational
hits by unique methods of bestowing
charity. She became one of the most
talked of women in New York.
David lived with her, watched her.

the Iowa volunteer who is suspected of
having murdered his wife, who died in
an ambulance Sunday afternoon, is now
in the county jail
He was arrested today ON warrant
charging him with her murder and was
unable to get s., 1000 bonds.
After his wife's death Sunday after
noon Stadler, who was volunteer of
Camp Mckinley, awaiting muster out,
secured ten days furlough to bury his
wife. Evidence has been introduced to
show that after the affair with her in
the hotel last Wednesday night, when
his wife was saved from the effects of
morphine by doctor, he went to her
stopping place the next night and admin
istered certain mysterious pills to her.
w. H. Crosby, who formerly resided
in Cedar Falls, testified that j. M. Stad-
Ter, the soldier in the case, is the same
man as "Milt Stateler," whom he knew
at Cedar Falls as desperate character.
He testified that Stadler had four wives
and that he had trouble with all, one Of
them dying in the poorhouse from de-
sertion. Coroner Ankeny told his jury
to bring in verdict. The jurors de-
manGed post mortem examination OF
the young woman who died Sunday in
an ambulance, at first supposed from
morphine taken for suicide, The jurors
also demanded that Stadler be SUBJ
poenaed, but he was not at Camp Nc
Kinley and now the city police, under o
warrant by the chief of police, are hunt
ing for Stateler for murder.

WILLS "lNDepENDsNT" CAMPAIGN.

A Railroad Man Expos es a Cievor Scheme
to Use Brotherhoo d Votes.
During the past week letters and cir.
culars have been published, emanating
from Herman L. Wills, the Democratic
candidate for the short term as railroad
commissioner. In these letters and cir
culars Mr.. Wills studiously avoids all
reference to the fact that he was nomi-
mated by the Democrats, and says that
he is making the cam paign as repre-
sentative of labor and that business not
politics should govern the election of
member of the railroad commission.
He appeals not only to railroad men,
but to members of organized labor to
come to his support Mr.. Wills has
stated in interviews in Des Moines
that he does not expect to be elected
and it is probable that no does not.
What, then is the motive that impels
him to attempt to array organized labor
against the Republican ticket?
Mr.. III +. Beals of Des Moines, who
has been g railroad man for the past 35
years, explains the matter clearly in
letter to the Des Mones Register. In
it he says:
"Mr. HI. e. Wills, candidate for rail
road commissioner, stated that his own
position was peculiar, that he stood
more as an independent candidate, Did
he not receive his nomination from the
three ring parties ut Marshalltown?
How does it come that he is in
dependent so soon? know, and so
does he He knows that the money
plank in the platform he stands on is
too slippery to catch railroad votes, so
he wishes to work the independent
dodge. Mr. Wills said that he believed
that the great mass Of railroad men had
no definite opinions as yet on the
money question. Did we not know and
use good opinion in 1896 and 1897, and
do we not see the results on every rail
road in the country? Have we not the
same issue before US in the coming cam
paign? Will we not have to vote it
down again, for our own and families
interests. not speaking Of the other mis-
cries? Mr.. Wills stated that II he could
get the railroad men to get together
and cast q railroad vote, even though it
shall not be large, l shall have scored
success. In this he gives himself away
and shows just why he was put on the
ticket-to draw gold votes from the
ranks of the railroad men, knowing full
well, as he says himself, he can't be
elected. But in some of those close
congressional districts, ut railroad CEN
tiers and termini, he might be able to
help the ether fellows. Mr.. Wills says
he will conduct his campaign on the
Temple amendment issue That issue
is settled, and not by the parties that
were so willing to give to us the amend
ment in exchange for 10 to /. The
writer of this having railroaded for the
past 80 years, 80 of 1t in this state,
can t see any reason why railroad men
or workmen should get together to cast
vote for Mr.. Wills or the slippery
platform he stands on. And we know
full well that Populism does not exist in
the ranks Of the railroad men"

Investigation Into the Conduct ogtho War

Investigation Into the Conduct ofthe War.
The war investigation commission
has gone to the southern camps to IN
quire into the condition of matters con.
nected with the treatment of the troops.
They were at Jacksonville last week
and all the testimony shows that the
condition of the hospitals and camps is
as good as could possibly be arranged.
Colonel Lewis M. Maus, chief surgeon
of the Seventh army corps, was one Of
the principal witnesses last week. After
referring to the difficulty Of establish
ing division hospitals at the first, he
said that acquisitions were promptly
filed after the first few days
and that at present arrangements
for : the care of the sick are
as nearly perfect as can be had in hos
pitfalls. "Nor do / think" added the
doctor, that the history of the world
has ever seen parallel to our present
care of the sick" He stated that there
were 300 trained female nurses now at
work In Jacksonville. All acquisitions
have been filled with exceptional
promptitude. He had never seen such
utter disregard of expense in caring
for sick soldiers He also said
that the Red Cross society had
given SC much that it was often unnec.
essary to ask the department for sup
plies There had been no restrictions
in the matter of fitting out the camp.
Not only DR.. Maus' statement, but
that of other witnesses show that the
condition of the hospitals and camps in
the south has been given prompt atten-
ton, and that so far as cay. be ascer-
tanned there is nothing that could now
be much improved.

Why Is it K.ondyke's gold
Is up where it's so cold?
What makes us all grow old2
The Walker bill.

And now, having carefully followed
from its inception the development OF the
ghost idea in the present campaign, let
US refer briefly to the characteristics of
this recently conjured hobgoblin.
General Weaver has worked himself
into great state of excitement in the
Sixth district. He has traversed the
district from one end to the other bel
lowing to the people to come and see
his highly moral puppet show wherein
he, as the modern gladiator, dowrs this
spectre and tramps the very life out of
it 70 the accompaniment of red
lights and slow music this makes q
highly spectacular show, but the people
are seeking to know what the ghost is
made Of To be sure General Weaver
holds it up before them, but he is cara
full to keep it beyond their reach, telling
them they must be content to take his
word for the dire calamities certain to
follow in the wake of the spectre. The
common people can't see them. but he
has prophetic vision and can tell them
of all the woes they care to listen to,
and possibly few more.
Then there is S. III. Bashor. He is
one of the most hysterical of the lot of
spectre. bearers. He shakes the poor
ghost until its wig threatens to fall off,
and cries out "It is no longer question
of 16 to /, or Of 1519 to !, or Of 20 to /,
but it is question of nothing to one"
Then he declares that the Republicans
have ccncocted the most Gigantic con.
spiracy" you've heard those words be-
fore, haven't your to not only crush
silver, but to kill off something like
5000, 1000, 900 of our currency with the
Walker bill Then he springs the bill
and reads it while the audience listens
with bated breath. After reading and
interpreting the provisions of the bill
according to the instructions of Gen.
eral Weaver, he solemnly assures the
audience that 200 Republican members
of congress have signed an agreement to
vote for the bill and if they carry the
house this fall there will be an extra
session of congress called next March
and the Walker bill will be put through.
"and then Wall street and the money
sharks will have our beloved country by
the throat squeezing the very life-blood
from her veins"
Now, the plain facts about the Walker
bill are these: There is not in existence
at the present time and never has been.
any agreement signed by 200 Repub.
lcan members of congress, or by two,
or even one. pledging them to vote
for the so.called Walker bill. The pa
per which the Democrats claim is an
agreement is nothing but a petition
asking the committee on banking and
currency to report some sort of cur.
rency bill when such bill was agreed
upon
The Walker bill reported by the com
mittee was not agreed upon by the
committee. but by subcommittee, and
instead of being the voice Of the commit
tee, it will be opposed on the floor OF
the house by Mr.. Walker, himself, and
by other members of the committee.
The Walker bill is not measure with
which the Republican party can be
charged. It has not been endorsed by
Republican caucus, nor by the Republi-
can members of congress individually.

THE so-cALLep WALKER BILL.
The New "Bogey Man" Conjured By De-

The New "Bogey Man" Conjured By De-
spairing Democratic Politicians.
The Democratic politicians have con-
jured up new "bogey man" The
spectre of the gold standard is becom-
ing too dilapidated for further use. It's
joints cresk, and the failure of promised
disaster to make its appearance has SO
worn upon the poor spectre that it has
degenerated into very ordinary scare
crow, which the people look upon with
pity rather than apprehension.
Realizing that calamity bowling with
out spectre to point at as q "frightful
example," was like playing Hamlet and
leaving the ghost out, the Democratic
managers Were for a time sore put to
it for good lively ghost to trot out at
their seances 1t was difficult job to find
one to their liking, for returning good
times had about laid al the ghosts,
while the effulgence Of the gorgeous
dawn of prosperity and the greater
glory reflected from the flag had SO i!iu-
mined the land that the most gloomy
pessimist digging in the caves of the
earth could not resurrect spectre
that would endure for moment the
bright sunshine of the new day.
But the Democratic party could not
exist without ghost. AS party of
opposition, it was dead without scare.
crow. The Marshalltown platform con-
tanned but two sentiments: "Free silver
at 16 to /" and snake football of the
constitution, and neither of these were
to the liking of the people, hence it was
a stupendous problem that the Demo-
cratic orators found confronting them.
Finally somebody, and it is not certain
whether it was that distinguished Pop
ulst-Democrat General Weaver or that
versatile gymnast-Democrat George l..
Finn, discovered the Walker bill, 1t

that it was terrible thing and soon the

that Justice demands that the rail
roads, the cities and the bicycle
people should be compelled to pay
a very considerable portion of the
expense of road improvement. These
classes have more interest in good
roads than ever the farmer has. But
just how to make them pay for it
is what | do not know OF course,
the farmer is Interested in good
roads. They would save him horse
flesh. carriage and harness wear;
they would bring the town nearer
to him, often enabling him to take
advantage of extra good market
and always enabling him to enlarge
his social life. He can afford to pay
something toward good roads, but
he can not afford to pay the whole
expense.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1898-06-25

There is so much to the road inn
prOvement question that not one in
a hundred who urges road improve
ment has any conception of the com
plications involved We need bet
ter roads, but who is to build them :?
says John A. Henry, in Western
PloaUnsdn Certainly the farmer
can not do it.. To build a hard road
along mans farm at his expense
would contiscate his farm, a fact
that many never suspect, for they
have no idea of the expense of a
hard road struction A road that
will stand heavy teaming, construct
ed of crushed stone and sand, ought
to be II inches deep; and even that
will hardly stand on our Western
prriries. 1t is expensive business to
make good, hard roads in the West.
But if the farmer can not pay for it,
who is to pay for it? Some advo-
Gates State taxation. Well, suppose
we begin REINFORCEMENT OF all the
roads in the State and provide the
money by State taxation. Certainly,
if we are to make the whole State
pay for it we shall have to improve
all the roads. We can not expect
that one section of the State will pay
for the improvement of the roads
of another section. Then, when the
work is all done and paid for, the
farmer will have contributed as
much as if he had paid for his own
road and let other sections pay fol
theirs. Now, | confess | do not
know just how this thing is to be
accomplished without doing in
Justice to the farmer. 4 do know
