GATES TO FOLLOW HEBRON
President of Iowa College Will Also
Resign.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. BIT is said
that President George A Gates of Iowa
college is ready to resign when Prof
Heron leaves that institution. It has
Ions been known that his sympathy
with Prof. HerrOn's sOcialistic views
would lead to such a course and since
other openings are ready for him there
is little doubt that he Will leave and a.
general reorganization of the faculty
viii take place. The conservatives
blame President Gates almost as much
as Prof Heron for the unenviable no
tOriety which has been thrust upon
Iowa college during the last few years
In his public address he followed in the
footsteps Of Prof. Heron and gained
great prominence a short time ago as
the author of an aggressive attack up
on the American Book company which
he denounced in unmeasured terms as
an enemy of the public schools.
At the end of the year Prof. Heron
viii leave the college and take the lee
ture field, in which he hopes to be able
to air his opinions. At the present time
he plans a visit to Europe. accompanied
by Prof. Maine and his patroness, Mrs.
Rand. After q year OF two he may
return to this country. He has receiv-
ed many pressing invitations to lecture
from all parts of the world, and one of
these, from New Zealand is receiving
serious considerations. AS he desires
to study the sOcialstic and single-tax
experiments that have been made in
that island he viii doubtless make ar
engagements to lecture there.

BOER WOMEN AND THE WAR
tFrom the Pan Mall Gazette.l

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
John Redmond is of opinion that the
present Boer war is due to the machi-
nations of Mr.. Chamberlain-and 9TH
ers; but, according to the Natal press,
Mrs Boer is largely responsible for the
belIicOse attitude of her husband. She
is nothing more or less than bucOlIc
counterpart of Dido. Jealous of the Eng
fishman whom she wishes as a hus-
band for her daughter. That is the ideal
of her life, so seldom realized, for her
daughters are many, and eligible Eng
Iishmen are few and far between Many
Boer girls are educated in the English
colonies, and return with a refinement
quite out of harmony with their rustIG
SURROUNDINGS. They won't marry their
unkempt kinSmen, and the young Eng
lishman is a raTa avis; so this in time
generates bitter hatred of their more
favored sisters and of the English race
in general.
Apart from the light side of this the
DRY, any one who knows the domestic
life of the BOer can vouch for it's ac
curacy. When the passions of the
cOarsest and most ignorant of their
of ''furens quid foemina pOssit''-theIr
husbands are harmless and mild in
com parison. Mrs. BOer is even more
isolated from modern civilization than
her husband, and rarely rubs shoulders
with the ''Verdomde" Englishman. In
most cases the paterfamilias and the
family are completely under her thumb
and it is not too much to say that the
energy now displayed by the BOer for
ceS is in great measure due to femin-
inc DrOmptingS

MAXIMUM RATES
Proposed as a Feature of Interstate
Commerce Law.

Washington Dec. Ex-senator Cullom
has introduced in the senate a compre-
hensive bill for the amendment of the
law creating the interstate commerce
commission The bill is in most respects
similar to the CullOm bill Of the last
congress for the same purpose but it
has been changed in several minor par
ticulars.
The main features Of the proposed
measure are as follows
The commission is authorized after
hearing a case to make an order di-
recting the carrier TO desist from the
violation found and also to prescribe
in such order the thing which the car
rier is required to do or not to do for
the future to bring itself into conform
ity with the act" and in so doing the
commission is given power to fix max
imum rates; to fix both MAXIMUM
and minimum rate or differential in
rates when necessary to prevent dis
elimination. to determine the divisions
of a joint rate between connecting car
riers and the terms and conditions IN
der which business shall be transacted
when necessary to the enforcement of
the act; to make changes in cIassifica-
ton, and to amend the rules and regu-
latiOhs under which traffic is moved.

Grandma's Cat Story.
From the Philadelphia CALL


The family group were speaking of
cats and their ways, and the peaceful
looking grandmother was asked to say
something.
The old lady smiled, for she is not
often sighted when in the company of
younger people, and consented to tell a
story about a kitten she had when she
was a child.
You know" she said, Il had a step
father, and he liked to see me working
about the house instead of playing wi h
a kitten, so he ordered me to throw it in
the brook which ran through our mea-
dow.
I was forced to do it, though I cried
a great deal. 1 threw it in three times
but the little thing struggled out each
time and finally dragged itself home
after me. Then I pleaded SO much that
I was allowed to keep it.
From that time on it was kind Of
wild, not staying in the house, but
skulking around the barn. When it was
full grown il began to kill our chickens
so my stepfather said it had to go. This
time he caught it and tied a stone
around it and drowned it. After an an
hour or two he drew it from the water
and buried it.
Now comes the part that is stranger
than fiction Two days after the old
yellow cat dragged itself up to the
barn We visited the place where we
had buried it and found it had come to
life and rid itself Of the stone in what
way know not, and dug itself out

growth which Obstructs the White Nile

Egyptian cotton, who We're lately
alarmed by false estimates of the yield

The Egyptian Irrigation department
has had no fears of a poor crop.
Indeed, the last crop was raised on
very small supply of water, and turned
out the largest on record.
With the greatly increased flow of
water which will follow the removal of
the Upper Nile barrier, future cotton
crops are expected to beat even this
years record.

RAN A RACE WITH DEATH.
TFrom the Cleveland Leader.I

IFrom the Cleveland LEADER
A high trestle bridge more than a quar-
ter of a mile long, supporting the Single
track of the Nickel Plate Railroad, spans
the valley of Grand River, east of Paines-
vile. The bridge is little wider than the
distance between the rails and the ties
are placed eight or ten inches apart, the
space between being open to the river be-
low.
a young man who crossed recently had
a thrilling experience on the bridge. He
had just passed the centre when fast
train rounded the curve behind him. AS
the engines WhiStled he Quickened his
pace With every step the train was rush
ing nearer and there was not moment
to lose.
Once the young man stumbled and
seemed about to fall, but quickly regained
his balance and hurried on. As he reach
ed the place for which he had
and he had just time to swing himself
over the side OF the bridge as the lOcOmO-
tive Numbered by. The ends of the ties
were slippery with grease from dripping
axle boxes and his foot slipped wide as
he left the track His right hand. stretch
ed blindly out before him touched a round
iron bar, bracing two parts of the bridge,
and with a grip like that of a drOWning
man his fingers clasped around it: For
a moment he swung in empty air In an
other his left hand found place beside
his right and his feet touched the well
come edge of a brace below With bleed
ing fingers clutching the slender iron bar,
that vibrated widely from side to side,
moments seemed hours.
At last the train passed, and the young
man was able to climb slowly to the ira X
above. Unnerved by the trying exper-
fence, he lay for a moment stretched
feet, with blanched face and unsteady
limbs, made his way to firm ground.

BRADY Is OUT.
He Is No Longer Manager of Roster
and BiaPs Show.

New York, Dec. 13.-William A.
Brady is out of Roster & Bia1's for all
time. Simon Dessau, the moneyed man
of the BIei syndicate, objected to the
heavy expenses which Brady as man
ager had incurred, and as d result
Brady got out. He bought the big spec
tacular show, Around New York in
Eighty Minutes, and may take it on the
road.
Brady showed DesSau where, despite
his expenses. he had made money for
the house and show, but Dessau in
sisted that Jim Jeffries and Tom Shar-
key, who were getting $1,000 a week
apiece, and Jim COrbett, who got $3.50,
should be cut out. Brady refused to
do so. Brady's order on the box Office,
given to the three fighters. and refused
payment, brought the trouble to a
crisis.

The most bitter anti-Asp man there
was Cassius NJ. Barnes. He is now
governor of Oklahoma and is here to
attend the meeting of the Republican
national committee as the proxy for
Henry Asp.
The anti-Barnes, administration
wing is thoroughly Disguised. It means.
they say, that Henry Asp, the man they
placed implicit confidence in, has de-
serted them for the single gold stand
ard administration; that he has added
their worst foe, Governor Barnes. In
this connection all agree that Governor
Barnes has won his fight and that he
is not to be again disturbed during his
present term by q. revival of the charges
against him which came near eventual
ing in his removal.
