from Mondays Ga1ly.
Heavy ice foes carried away the
temporary bridge, which is under con-
struction by the Iowa Central railway
company, across the Des Moines riv-
er at Eddyville Sunday morning This
bridge was constructed of false work,
with track laid on it which allowed
trains to pass over it. The ice knock
ed all the piers from the foundation
and late this afternoon it has not been
completed, so as to allow the passage
of trains. The regular Minneapolis
and st. Paul passenger train for Kan
sas City and ST, Louis, which former
ly arrived regularly in Ottumwa at
9:25 o'clock until the recent abandon
ment of the Iowa Central from this
city, and where transfer is now made
at Abba, with the Wabash, arrived in
the city last evening at 9:25 o'clock
and their south mail, thru Pullman
sleeper and chair car for ST. Louis and
Kansas City, We're transferred to the
Wabash, which leaves Ottumwa at
$50 o'clock, and which was held until
the Central's arrival. The Central
train laid in Ottumwa until this morn
ing when they received their north
transfer, from st. Louis and Kansas
City, leaving this city, at $40 O'Clock.
The same connection and transfer
will be made in this city this evening
providing the erection of another tenn
porary bridge is not completed.
Freight traffic on the Central between
Abba and Oskaloosa is at complete
standsti;l A large force of men is at
work on the bridge and it is hoped to
be able to have it in position so
trains can pass by tomorrow.

Mr. Thompson was improving nicely

The news was. received in this city
today with a feeling of satisfaction
that the Milwaukee railroad company
yesterday voted to increase their cap
ital stock ten per cent to pay for the
much talked of "cut-off" between this
city and Davenport and the construc-
tion of 700 miles of road between Ev-
arts, South Dakota, to Helena, Mon
tana. The amount of increase is
nearly nine million dollars.
This news confirms the story print
ed in yesterdays Courier that the cut
off was assured. 1t is semi-officially
announced that work will be commenc-
ed as soon as possible this spring, and
that the company expects to have the
road completed between this city and
Davenport by next winter. The bene-
fits of this undertaking can hardly be
) estimated for Ottumwa With the
building of the new route ON the Bur-
lington between here and Agency,
business men in this city should en-
JOY prosperity in a more substantial
manner than was ever known. 1t is
understood the work on the Milwau-
kee cutoff will be started from here
and Davenport, and if that is the case
this city will be made the headquar-
ters of the road for the time being.

They should be used to stimulate and
direct the intellectual and spiritual de-
velopment of the children. Having
ascertained what are the types OF char
acter to which we wish to approximate
we have next to inquire into the means
by which these types are to be devel-
oped. This is problem for individual
tact and insight.
We have read: AS iron sharpened
steel so a man sharpened the coun-
tenance of his friend Care in the
choice of friends therefore, and above
all in the choice of books, the friends
of ones solitude, is one of the most
important points for this purpose.
Complete development of character
can be attained only by deVoting our
selves to some large end, in co-opera-
ton with others. A study of, the great
cases valuable aid in deciding on the
most fitting conduct in a given case.
Aristotle has said: When mans
character has been twisted in one di-
rection, it may be Strengthened by
bending it in the other The library

children straight and to straighten
their own If they have become twisted.
The individual has no life independent
of those around him. The only true
| equalizers in the world are books; the
only treasure house open to all Corners
| is library" 81
In order to secure the best results
three classes of books are essential.
Books for supplementary reading, for
reference, and for home use. We as
sumo all these books to be of the high
est grade, but still the child's reading
, should be systematic and he should be
assisted and directed by the teacher
1t is true this throws great. respoh-
sibility upon the teacher, but is, it
greater than before? Could it be
greater than the care of each precious
soul in our charge?
Books of the first class, supplement.
airy reading, are used in every grade
The little tots in the first grade are
just as anxious and work, oh! SO hard
to be ready for the new story, while
the fourth or fifth grades are ever
ready for their supplementary work.
The reference books are used in
nearly every grade and this work may
be very successfully carried on In
school and out if the parents cooper
ate with the teacher. Cooperation OF
parents with teachers is also 'neces
sary for best results in home reading
! Urge children to take books, home to
keep over night. This will not only
help the children, but the parents will
become interested in school libraries
and school work
Suitable books aid the busy teacher
by giving employment and instruction
at the same time to children who are
scantily supplied with books of theil
own. Our geographical readers may
be taken as an illustration, altho near
ly any book in the school library
might be used in a similar way.
4 geographical seader may be used
Tor supplementary reading or seat
work, for supplelt ,ntary work in Sc
osraphy or historI for language work
or spelling. These readers naturally
carry with them nature study so we
see the value of this one book, The
story that has no ethical value is te
be avoided in school as we'll as in tbs

Milwaukee Win Build New Tracks.

Milwaukee Will Build New Tracks.
Extensive improvements will, ac-
cording to present plans, be made by
the Milwaukee company with regard
to their tracks and, yard at the juno
ton at the west limits of the city, as
soon as the weather becomes suitable.
For over week engineers of the COM
pany have been in the city and have
staked out a yard on the high ground
near the, south end of the company's
bridge across the Des Moines river
near the junction. The present yards,
as is we'll known, are located, togeth-
er with the round house, machine
shops and offices, on the island known
as Central addition, but this place is
unsuitable for several reasons. Among
these is that it is too small to accom-
modate. the cars which the recently
increased business, of the road throws
into Ottumwa 1t is to obviate this
difficulty that the new yards are pro-
posed. About eighteen tracks We're
staked out south Of the river and these
will be used When built, it is said, for
storage tracks. This strengthens the
theory of the cutoff to be built be-
tween Davenport and this city, which
will give Ottumwa even more business.
This is no new scheme, but is worked
with great success by the Burlington

tracks on the Illinois side of the Mis-

Gen. MacArthur)
whom Alexander, already victorious,
hunted to his death.
Vercingetroix, the most gallant of
the Gallic insurrectionists of Caesars
day, learned the bitterness of falling
captive to a general who in private
life may be surrounded by halo of
virtues.
But pitiless as Caesar was in this in
stance, he would probably have been
the first to protest against the revolt
ing barbarism which Consul Claud-
ius Nero displayed in his treatment
of captive foe. Nero, it will be re-
membered, achieved complete VIC
tory over Hasdrubal, the Carthagenian
commander, at the battle of the Metau-
rus in the second Punic war. Return
ing to Rome for magnificent triumph
after this victory, Nero took the con
quered Hasdrubal with him and there
had him slaughtered.
Decapitation and dungeons had
largely passed out of fashion when
Wellington conquered Napoleon at Wa
terloo. But to the intolerably proud
spirit of a Bonaparte almost any swift
humiliation would probably have been
easier to bear than the long drawn out
ignominy of the exile at st. Helena.
Perhaps none too great magnanim-
ity was shown by the northern gen
erals who captured Jefferson Davis in
the civil war.
1T is not many months since England
showed the world that her idea of the
proper treatment of a captured leader
is the same as it was a century ago by
sending the unfortunate Gen. Cronje
to Napoleon's melancholy retreat-st.
