report comes from Des Moines,
based ON the statements of an attorney
interested in the negotiations pending
between the Iowa Central on the one
hand and the Burlington and Milwau-
kee roads on the other, for the pur-
chase and division of the Central by the
Milwaukee and Burlington roads yes
terday that the negotiations have come
to a sudden termination and that until
a better proposition is made by the
Iowa Central there is no prospect OF
sale of the road. The price placed on
the Central is considered altogether too
high by the representatives of the two
trunk lines reported to be DESTROYS of
securing the Central, and they declare
that it would be impossible to make it
earn fair dividends on such an invest
ment. 1t is understood that the Iowa
Central holds the property at something
over $4,000 mile or nearly twice as
much as it would be necessary to ex-
pend to duplicate the road and about
$4,5OO q mile in excess of what it is fig
ured the property could be bonded for.
The Burlington, heretofore, has not
figured in the negotiations, and just
what sort of division the two roads
named could make of the Central is not
| apparent from survey of the field
| from this end. The Milwaukee,, it is
reasonable to suppose, would desire the
north and south line of the Central, as
a connecting link between its northern
Iowa and central Iowa lines. which ex-
tend across the entire state from east To
west and as coal feeder to these lines

There is just one chance for this city t,
benefit by the Central going into cnntro

from that road changing its main line
which runs seven miles south, through
this city, and making this the larges
division point for both the east an,
i west and north and south lines.

TOLD BY THE FACE.
physiOgnomists Can with Much Cer- tainty Tell q Mans Calling
 by His Features.

"A mans occupation or condition has more to do with making his face than most people think" observed gentle man who is somewhat of a judge of character to a Washington Star writer. 'Intellectual pursuits, like the studies of the scholarly professions. when coupled with temperate and good moral habits of life, brighten the taco and give the person a refined and superior look. Magnanimity of nature or the love of study and art will make bright, glad face, but, contrary to this. a man may have a face that does not please anybody, because of . love of self 10 the exclusion of others, notwithstanding his learning and worldly shrIwdness. Soldiers get a hard, severe look; over worked laborers constantly look tired; reporters look inquisitive; judges be- come grave, even when of the bench; the man who has had domestic trouble looks all broken up.
 ''An example of the ludicrous side of this subject is to see a third-class law yer stalking around police court look ing as wise as an owl. The business makes the face, 1 say. There's the merchants face. the ministerial face, the lawyers face. the doctors face. the hoodum's face, all so distant each from the other and singly,. and 1 seldom fail to recognize those callings shining through the faces.

ENGLAND's WOMEN.
The Difficulty They Experience n Obtaining Means of Earn
 ing a Living.

One fact which stood prominently out in the statements made at the an- nual meeting in London Of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women, because, perhaps, of the cm- phasis given it by the chairman. Sir Owen Roberts. was that there were 2.000.U00 more women in this country than men, says the London News, Ob- viously, therefore, the difficulty of ob- taining work for such of them as had of necessity to earn thtir own living was greater even than when males had tobedealt with. And this was increased by the comparative difficulty hitherto experienced in providing the necessary technical training for them. 0n this point, however, Sir Owen Robert point ed hopefully to the effort now being made by the county council in estab- fishing schools of domestic economy. The chairman also pleaded for special consideration for gentlewomen who had reached middle life without having acquired skill in work of definite kind. these being the saddcst cases that come under the notice of the society. Lady knightley, of Fawsley, who moved the adoption of the report which dealt with the work of the for tieth year of the society, pointed out that the market for women shorthand writers and typewriters was over stocked, and suggested that women should turn their attention to dairying and the direction of laundries.
