Instructed the Queen.

A hitherto unrecorded anecdote of the
queen is the following: One autumn az
ternoon, many years ago. her majesty
was going out to st on a hillside and
watch some of her relatives fishing in
the river below her, when she found
that she had no thimble in her pocket.
so could not work, as she had intend
ed at the sewing she was CARRYING.
Turning out of her way to Mrs. Sy-
mond's shop, she bought the smallest
thimble there which was, however.
many sizes too big for her. There was
an old Scotch dame at the counter, i'm
patiently waiting to make her own pur-
chases. Not recognizing the queen, she
broke into the conversation with a
Hoots' but it's rare fuss an fuddle
you're maxim. Blow intae it weel an
it'll stick"
mat phrase. the latter part of the
sentence, amused her majesty immense
" and becarne quite a proverb in the
royal family.

Advertising a City.

Advertising city is just as desirable
as advertising the business of a mer-
chant. The latter conveys to the read
ing public the inducements offered by
the merchants to the purchaser, while
the former tells the world of the in
ducements offered by the city as place
of residence. Every desirable person
who can be brought to the city, and
every business man who can be induced
to locate his business therein, becomes
a direct benefit to the whole communi-
ty. Along this line the Welfare Asso-
citation Is issuing pamphlet, entitled
Jackson AS 1t Is" The council has
been asked to appropriate $S4 for 10 600
of the pamphlets for distribution by our

NEW ROAD LAUNCHED.

Articles Are Filed OF Southern Iowa
Railway.
Dies MONIES. March 5O.--A new rail
way project was formally launched by
the filing of articles of incorporation
by the Southern Iowa railway. The
new line is said to be Chicago &
Northwestern movement, and will eN-
tend from that company's road into
Mahaska and Monroe counties for the
purpose of tapping the valuable coal
fields in that vicinity. The incorpor,
ators named in the articles are Daniel
D. Bathrick and Henry v. Ferguson,
and the headquarters of the new road
will be at Cedar Rapids. The capital
stock is placed at 100000. This move
has been in contemplation for some
time, but the filing of the articles of
incorporation is the first tangible evil
dence that the Southern Iowa railway
promoters really meant business. Fiji
ty-six miles will be constructed at once
and the line is expected to make very
material changes in the coal mining
industry which is now carried on in

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Secretary
Root has directed the establishment OF
the military division of the Pacific, to

the department of northern Luzon,

department of southern Luzon, COM

General Hughes, and the department
of Mindanao and Jolo, commanded by
General Kobbe. Major General Otis
will retain the supreme command over
these departments as division COM

sition corresponding closely to that
occupied by General Miles toward the
military departments in the United
States. 1t is said at the war depart

Ills Position On the Railroad Assess
nlent Set Forth.
DIES MONIES, March 90. State Treas
.urer John Herriott yesterday filed
with the secretary Of the executive
council statement Of his views on the
railroad assessment question and an
exposition of'what he declares to be
the shameless subserviency of &. the
other members of the executive coun-
Gil to the interests OF the Chicago &
Northwestern road. The document is
very long. He charges that time and
again the railroad assessments have
been made in the private office of the
secretary of state, in consultation with
one or two railroad attorneys. He
charges that his demands for an equit-
able assessment have been ignored be-
cause the other members of the council
were anxious to preserve the advan-
tage which has long been possessed by
the railroad interests which .they rep
resent. Mr.. Herriott's document was
prepared for the records of the. council
in explanation Of his relations to the
he declined to take part. He says he
did not want to meet with Mr.. Mer-
riam, FRUSTRATED by illness, because he
knew a discussion would lead to vio-
lence of denunciation which could not
but grievously affect the nerves of IL
sick man. He takes up in detail the
statement made by the governor and
answers it, arguing that railroads do
not pay more than other property, as
the governor urges, and showing the
lack of system in present assessment
methods. He explains carefully his
own plan and shows the alleged in
EQUITIES of the present distribution of
taxation. In six years the North
western, he asserts, has been under
taxed 1926, 221 SO, which has been made
up by overtaxing the other roads. Mr.
Herriott is unsparing in his dennncia-
ton of his associates in what he terms

After the publication of Mr.. Her
