Iowa, and The Oaks" which IL being

pie and others. The work, tho not ex-
Eensive. is quite attractive. and. like all
Iowa Central publications liz brief and
meaty. The subject matter covers q
description OF Clear Lake as a "Charm-
ing Summer Resort" the Sailing and
Bathing" THE Oaks, and How to
Get There" Interspersed are beautiful
half-tone engravings which are sugges-
tive and at once attract and hold the
attention. "A Cool Retreat" Think OF

Central Has Trou bio With Nliscreants
Near Shefticld.
The Mason City Globe-Gazette says:
Two attempts We're made last week
to wreck the Iowa Central trains near
Sheffield. On Thursday. when train No.
I was short distance south of Shelf
field. the engineer discovered just in the
nick of time pile Of ties thrown across
the rails. They were placed on the
track with the evident intention of de-.
railing the train. The ties we're on a
curve. 80 that the engineer might not
discover them until he was too close to
stop his train, but in this the attempted
wreckers We're foiled and the engineer
by reversing the lever and putting on
brakes stopped the train within five
feet Of the obstruction. On Friday Just
before No. 1, which is the mail train
from the south, had arrived at Sheffield.
a man came into the depot and reported
that he had found rails piled up on the
track north of town and that he had re-
moved the obstruction. Just why any
one can be so villainous as to wreck
trains and that they should do go in
broad daylight battles understanding.
The penalty for such heinous crime
should be such that It will be perman-
emily prohibitive. The officials offer no
explanation"
