THE ELECTRIC CARS.
City Council Works with the Proposed
Ordinance.

The city council met again in special
session Friday evening to work on the
reading of the electric car line ordi-
nance. There was some steady and
earnest effort expended andlthe en-
tire ordinance with the exception OF
sections Is, 10 and "a were read, dis
cussed and and agreed to. These
sections will come up for considera-
ton at another special meeting that
will be held next Friday evening.
Section 10 provides that the ex-
pense of the special election neces'
sary for the submitting of the ordi'
nance to the people shall be upon the
shoulders of the company. To this
the car company raises objections
stating that if the franchise fails to
pass that the city must bear
the expense. The city objects to
this method of proceeding and the
matter will have further discussion
later.

A MOTHERS CRIME.
bOIIc Acid, shoots Two of Them
and Kills Herself.

New York, Oct. 6.--Mrs. Lillian Smith,
of Inwood, borough of Manhattan,
while insane Friday, shot her two chill
dren, Ethel, aged ~ years, and Theo-
dore, aged eight years, and then COM
mitted suicide by shooting herself. An
other child lies in Fordham hospital at
the point of death as the result of car
bolic acid burns. Before shooting the
children Mrs. Smith, with the cunning
of a maniac, tried to force them to
drink carbolic acid. Long brooding
over the prospect of death is said to
have been the cause of the woman's
insanity. Mrs. Smith was the wife OF
Walter NJ. Smith, who has been con-
nected with the grocery house of Aus
tin g. Co. for 81 years.

WILL CALL SPECIAL SESSION,
Gov. Pingree Wants Amendment to
State Constitution Submitted
to People.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. Gov. Pingree
will call a special session of the state
legislature, to be convened at Lansing
on Wednesday or Thursday of next
week. The object is to consider a
joint resolution authorizing submis-
sion to the people at the general cleo
ton next month of a constitutional
amendment to permit the taxing of
railroads and other corporations on
the value of their property, instead of
specifically upon their earnings as at
present. The Atkinson act, which
was declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court a short time ago, pro-
vided for this change.

Simpson College Wins Foot Ball
Game 10 to o.

Friday WASH tiPenn's day and she
met defeat in the first foot ball game
of the season. Simpson scored 16
points and Penn had nothing ito her
credit. Penn was in poor form for
some reason and after the Methodists
had scored their first touch down and
goal the Quakers seemed to loos G
heart and played very poor ball. One
of the Simpson sprinters secured the
ball after the second kick off near the
Simpson goal line and he ran the en-
tire length of the field for another
touch down. Simpson made three
touch downs and kicked two goals.
The line up of the one games were
as follows:

Greensboro, KY, Oct. 6.-The strik-

The Washington journal has the
following concerning our townsman
George Carbon and his gang of cement
workers:
THE Journal is pleased to note the
improvements that have been going
on of late in the way of permanent
sidewalks Some time ago Geo. H.
Carbon & Son, of Oskaloosa, came
here and put in cement walks for the
city, Wilson Dougherty, Rich Max
we'll and others and gave excellent
satisfaction. These same gentlemen
are here again and have commenced
on new walks for l.. d. Robinson and
Chas. Keck. They expect to be kept
busy in this city for at least two
weeks and perhaps longer if the
weather will permit. 1t is well known
that cement walks, as a rule, have
been failure in this city heretofore.
Much money has been spent and time
and time again where the work has
been doue by out-of-town parties it
has been a failure. These men came
here from Oskaloosa, only a short
distance, and will guarantee every
foot of walk put in, THY have al
ready fled with the city a guarantee
bond. In Oskaloosa, their home
town, they have put in forty miles of
walk and miles and miles of it all
over the state. The firm has had IA
years experience at the business and
has the reputation of doing first-cla
work for everybody. A reporter of
the Journal while mingling among
the workmen, has noticed that they
are all obliging, fine fellows-nothing
coarse at all about them. 1t adds to
the beauty of our city to have such
walks put in and now is the time to
speak to them about it.''

The Shirt Waist Problem.

In the everlasting matter of shirt

though it does seem that the subject
has been done to death.
Look about you and you'll admit
there's room for more such wretched
taste and Judgment as is to be found
on every side! The stout woman, az
likely as not, is partial to plaids and
checks, and straight-across, accented
yoke; while the slender sister is
equally in love with up-and down
lines.
AS matter of fact, stripes are very
much more the thing than plaids or
checks. In fact, plaids and checks
give one The horrors unless managed

shoals of Dressdoml The number of
tair ones who come to grief upon their
treacherous squares is simply appall-

often most effective; but the number
of botches is enough to scare most OF
us out. What we're getting at is the
fact that white is the safest choice.
Those who are ever after color eff

there are plain colors in the dainty

Microbes of the Sen.

From the study of phosphorescent
microbes, which has greatly interested
students OF sea phenomena, biologists
have now passed to the study of sea
microbes in general, and are announc-
ing their results with much enthusi-
asm.
The inference is that aquatic life
produces more interesting variety of
microbe than do the circumstances
with which we are more familiar.
Some OF the luminous or phosphor-
es ent microbes, for instance can live
comfortably at temperature of zero,
centigrade. Others give out beautiful
colorel liquids during their period of
deve opnent. Many of the ocean
mic robes are also capable OF sponta-
neous movement. AS to form they
are varied and have been found in
alu ost all shapes,
The create st number OF microbes
are to be found near the shore, the
! number decreasing toward the sea.
