High Five Reception.

A very pleasant high five party was
given last evening by Mr.. and Mrs. b.
w. Carlisle, and MIR. and Mrs. Frank
Carlisle, at the pleasant new home of
Il. w. Carlisle, ON Erie street. The
door was attended by Ralph Carlisle,
who ushered the guests,into the parlors
where they were cordially received by
ths entertainers. The spacious parlors
were most beautifully decorated with
roses and smilax which seemed well
come to Gil. When the labels were
laid and the games were called, Mr.. G.
announced thats each time person
made 80 points they should ring the
bell; this was very pleasing surprise,
as each person who reached this num-
Der received prize. The gifts were
numerous, of the beautiful, and some
OF the ridiculous kind, and as each one
made the point, the prize, tied with ba-
by ribbon, was pinned to their person,
and we understand that some of our
best players were completely covered
with china cups, vases, jumping jacks,
doll babies, etc. AT the close, most
delightful luncheon was served, which
in itself was souvenir of the occasion.
Well, as lack of space and the ina
bility of the guests to give what seem
ed to be to them, adequate expression
to their feelings of enjoyment, and graf
ificatlon to their hostess, we will
stop by saying the hour was late when
the party adjourned TO their respective
home, and they were 10th to go even
then.

county will; havssadded to her RAILROAD

about into railroad circles.
Work will soon be commenced, in
fact, the grade men are now engaged
on the Boyer Valley Railroad Co.'S
new line, which will be established be.
tween Mondamin and Wall Lake.

Sioux City & Pacific.

The Chicago u Northwestern rail
way company at present lesees of
the Sioux City and Pacific railroad,
have evidently received assurances
that the property of the latter road
would eventually come into their
possession, This is substantiated by the
many valuable Improvements which
the NV proper is making along the
S. G. & r. line. The Soldier valley
baanch, which the NV. company is
building from Mondamin, will when
finished be the property of the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad company and
will be one of the best feeders owned
by that company, as the line will run
through one of the finest and most
productive grain districts of the west
and if the NV company entertained
the least doubts about their ultimate
acquisition of the Sioux City & Pacific
railroad it seems hardly plausible that
the company would expend thousands
of dollars constructing a line of rail-
road which would soon become tribu-
tary to another system. Below ia the
statement made by Marvin Hughitt
regarding improvements which the N.
w, company will soon make.
WILL BUILD FROM MovILLE.
Sioux City Journal. Marvin IIughitt,
president of the Chicago & Northwes-
tern Railway company has said he
would be pleased to receive the rail
way committee of Sioux City business
men, but he was of the opinion the
committees visit would not hasten the
construction of the Northwestern IS
line from Neville to Siouy City.
This expression was made last Satur.
day by Pres. Hughitt to Hon. J ID Yec,
mans, interstate commerce commits
siOner, who arrived in Sioux City In
the morning. The president of the
NV. said further that he was goine
to build the Neville line anyway JUS
as soon as the company came into
possession of the Sioux City & Pacific
He said the extension would be bull,
over the survey which runs to Sargent,
Bluffs. This, Mr.. Iinghi,t said, was
eighteen miles in length and was tn,
most practicable route The Movil!,
trains will run from sargeants Bluff
into Sioux City over the tracks of tn,
Sioux City & Pacific.

To Be Submitted to a Vote.

+ Some twenty odd years ago the la
dies Of Mo Valley, by a heroic effort.
succeeded in establishing a public Lii
brary in this place, and during all these
years, they have been engaged in secu-
ring and building up this property un-
til now it contains about 1000 volumes
of valuable books, embracing history
geography, biography, art, science, and
literature, together with magazines
document, papers, &c, &c. The cost
of the library is about $4,000, and has
became of such Importance to
the public that the ladies have conclu
ded to offer it, as gift, to the city
provided the city will accept it and
keep in full operation.
1t was incorporated under the laws
of Iowa as the Mo. Valley. Public Ii
brary Association, and as such, the Of
ficers have full right and authority to
ldipose of it for the public good.
| 1t is not proposed to sell it, but mere.
ly put in to the keeping of the city, to
be governed and controlled by the city
instead of private individuals as city
library.
The question will, no doubt, be sub
mitted to vote at the city election.i,
the spring to determine whether
the citizens of Mo. Valley are willing
to accept a two thousand dollar gift.
| The library is a greet advantage to The
reading public-has books of great utll
ity and public interest. Is an honor t.
the city, and ahould be city institu
ton. Many cities of the State have
pubic Libraries, and if it is made cit,
institution will be free to all. i
submitted to vote and accepted, i
will be placed under the control of tn
City Council and be the property o
Missouri Valley.

The Theory that the grippe is

bs true, the practice should be

fuse q kiss from a pretty woman

Young Higgenbotham, of Missouri
Valley, who was brought up to Logan
and confined in bastile Shelton for the
crime of rape was released on bail last
week and returned to his home. The
social evil seems TO stand out as one
of the blemishes on the fair name of
our neighboring city. Young girls are
allowed to roam the streets until q late
hour, and some times drive. to tie
neighboring towns alone. and It is not
to be wondered at that some of them
go wrong. Societies having for q
motto "a pure life for two" should be
organized in all the cities. and not only
Lorganized but lived up to.-Logan
Observer.
Regardless of the fact that Bro. Nc
Cabe is republican, yet as the above
will show, he CAN tell the truth.

Trains Again on Time.

Iowa Capital: The three trains, at
present doing the speedy" from CHI
cago to Omaha, went into the transfer
neck and neck this morning, clipping
off nothing from their schedule and
losing no time between the windy city
and the "Big Muddy" The speeding
exhibitions, daily, of the Northwestern
and the Burlington are exciting inter-
est in'sll parts of the railroad world,
and railroad men In every section are
commenting upon not only the wonder
full speed these fast mail trains attain,
but their ability to maintain this speed
from week to week, from month to
month and from year to year.
It is not the intention of the Burling-
ton ia lengtnen the schedule which
went into effect last Sunday, said q
prominent railroad official to Capital
representative this morning: 1--WE are
not running on this time card time to
beat the Northwestern nor any other
road on earth, but we realize that q
pretty warm schedule must be main
tanned and we are in the field to MAIN
tain it. We can make better time than
we are now doing if it is necessary,
but 1t Is not necessary. Yhe govern
ment is we'll satisfied with the manner
in which the Burlington has put the
k..1 4 int I'M 60
during the past Is years and it is nom
sense for any one to talk about a five
year contract. we are only making
the present record for the purpose of
demonstrating to Uncle Sam our abil-
ity to get the mail to the objective
point as quickly as any one. The gov
prment is satisfied and the old o. will
be employed for years to come in ttst
capacity"
The Rock Island is receiving great
many congratulations for the passen-
ger and mail service it is putting up
between the lakes and Omaha. Of
course it cannot be- said that the SER
vice or at least the mail service, is
equal to that of the Burlington or
the Northwestern, but there is an adj
vantage given that road in its connec.
tions at Englewocd with the Lake
Shore, and some day this advantage
may be turned to good account. The
Rock Island has not made such extern
sive preparations as has the North
western in the way of improving the
road bed in the pastthree or four years
and are, therefore. not in condition
to make the time that can be made by
that latter road.

"A Clingstone.

1t behooveth young men not to tam
per with that complex machine, the
revolutions of which turn all topsy
turvy; the machine of love. But in
case you do become entangled in the
cogs of this aforesaid machine to the
extent of breach of promise suit, 60
you straightway and file your petition
in voluntary bankruptcy.
1t will be remembered that about q
year or two ago, Miss May Leonard, of
this city, brought suit against Leon
Irving Pecotti, of Boone, for breach of
promise. The court in order to allev,-
ate, so far es possible, all mental suf-
ferings of the young lady in the case,
awarded her verdict against Pecotti
in the sum of $ $50. The young man,
with the Macaroni name, after con-
!sulting his legal adviser. escaped from
the payment of the Judgment by ex-
eeedingly clever and unique mvans. A
short time after the bankruptcy law
went into effect he fled u petition of
voluntary bankruptcy, giving IS his
Liabilities tone debt to Miss May Leon
ard" and listing as his assets, "noth-
ing" being day laborer.
AS yet Miss Leonard has made no
official objection, and it appears prob
able that precedent will be establish
ed in breach of promise cases.

Churches and Lodges.

Waterloo is all torn up over a dis
cussion of the old question of secret
societies. One preacher denounced
them from the pulpit and another with
equal earnestness has declared that
from personal experience if he were to
"strike the town broke" he would not
ask help of the church, but of the Ma
sonic lodge. All this sounds very
much like echoes from the past and
resembles the old school house debates
over the question of whether fire OF
water is the more useful.
There ought not to be any war be.
tween organizations having for their
avowed purpose the making of men
happier and better. The methods diff
fer and the results are not so great in
some cases as in others, but every Or
ganixation, whether church or lodge,
which, to any degree is true to its mis-
sion of helping the world, is of some
good and ought not to be condemned
because it is not doing as much good
as some other means. The world is
too busy to listen patiently to those
WHO, quarrel over the question which
shall beEreatest ill the kingdom OF
heaven. Let each prove by his works
which has the true faith as the sons
of Nathan the Wise were hidden to
prove which had the genuine ring Will
ed by the father-Nonpareil.
The Scientific American" and the

length Of the recently launched

and could be carried away at one load

Denison Bulletin: 1t is said
the Illinois Central people will ap-
peal from the decision of the ap-
praisers on the valuation they
placed on block - The Central
claims the value (S2O0O). which
was named by the appraisers for
that portion of block - held by
the Central is not enough, and the
district court will he asked to de-
eide it. Besides this we under
stand the Northwestern is not sat-
lsfiee with the valuation named
by the appraisers on some lots
they propose to turn over to the
Central, and here may be another
case in court. So the merry war
goes on, and the various blocks in
West Denison are being used by
each road to block the other. In
the meantime the surveyors are
steady at work, and it would seem
that things will be ready fer the
dirt to fly within so days.

Iowa Philosophy.

Iowa City Herald says: A mans
enemies never kick him when he's
down; they stand aside and let his
friends do it.
It's pity that a man can't get
a pair of suspenders that will hold
up his reputation as we'll as his
trousers.
Kings are not always as good as
they might be; aud they are sim
ply not good at all when they are
up against aces.
There are a great many glass
blowers in this country who can
only work when the glass has foam
Fon it.
1t may be more blessed to give
than to receive, but we are always
willing to let the other fellow have
the blessings.
Many man who claims to be
looking for work wouldn't recog-
nize a job If it stepped up and
tapped him on the shoulder.
He'll may be paved with good
Intentions, but the man who sprink-
les ashes on icy sidewalks will
pave his way to glory.
The people who talk without
thinking, and those who think
without talking, always make each
other tired.
Mans failure in this world may
often be attributed to the fact that
he has blank cartridges when he
shoots at the target Of success.
A man who boasts that he works
with his head instead of his hands
is reminded that the woodpecker
does the same, and is the biggest
kind Of bore at that.
