Z cANALTo pEs MONIES.
New and Unique Project Suggested for
This State.

| Ottumwa, Nov. ga gigantic scheme
| has been preached in this city whereby
1t is proposed to construct a system OF
ship canals cut of the Des Moines river
from Keokuk to Des Moines, enabling
river steamers to ply between the two
cities. 1t is proposed to build system
OF docks and dams that will enable
| light draught boats to ply between the
two cities.
John S. Emery of Des Mones called
on Senator Harper, j. n. Morrell and
others and preached the scheme to
them, all of whom are greatly in favor
OF it, and believe 1t can be accom-
plished. The plan is to ask congress for
an appropriation and have the govern
ment do the work. Such a plan, Ii pos
sible to carry out, would be Of inestima
BILE value to the wholesale interests Of
Iowa. The building Of such canal
would enable manufacturers to land
their product in the middle Of Iowa at
the same rate as is now made to Mlssis
sippi river points. 1t would also enable
Iowa to open its coal and grain markets
to the world. Mr.. Emery is very enthu-
fastic at the support he received from
Keosaukua. Ottumwa and Eddyville. A
plan is now being perfected to ask an
appropriation from the coming legisla-
ture to make a preliminary survey, and
II this can not be done the cities inter-
ested will be asked to donate enough
money to have the survey made.
The plan is to have freight shipped
up the river on barges, using tugs to
handle them, thereby doing away with
any objection that might be raised on
account of the many bridges over the
Des Moines river that will not permit
a large steamer to pass under them. 1t
is believed that enough water is main
tanned in the river the year round to
Iermit such a project to be carried out.

The popular idea expressed IN the
phrase, uthe art of self-defense," shows
the opinion that the chief enemies a man
has to defend himself from are visible
and external. But the real danger of
every man is from minute and often in
visible foes. In the air we breathe and
the water we drink are countless minute
organisms leagued against the health Of
the body.
The one defense against these enemies
is to keep the blood pure. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery thoroughly
purifies the blood, removing poisonous
substances and accretions. When the
blood is pure there is no harborage for
the germs of disease which find lodg-
ing only when the blood is impure and
corrupt.

absorption of the Northern Pacific aud
Great Northern railways by the Northern
Securities company, Gov. Geer sa d:
'Oregon has no laws regulating com

Orc gon Railroad and Navigation company

Regarding consolidation, Gov. Geer
says:
Unless consolidation of railway com
panes should be followed by increased
freight and passenger rates it would be
difficult to see where objection to 1t
would lie If this result should follow
1t is a matter within the power Of the
state legislatures to control. 1t may
prove an easier matter to regulate rates
than to prevent consolidation.

CORBETT ARE IN FINE

BOTH BOYS ARE CONFIDENT
McGovern Money Seems Unlimited in
Offerings at Hartford for Bat

Afternoon
WHAT THE FIGHTERS SAY

HARTFORD. Con-, Nov. N.-The fight
for the featherweight championship of
the world between Terry McGoVern, OF
Brooklyn, the present holder of the title,
and Billy Rothwel, better known as
Young Corbett," of Denver, Col, which
is to take place tomorrow afternoon be-
fore the Nutmeg Athletic club, has cauS-
ed an unusual stir In this city. Whea
the trains reached the Hartford depot
today sporting men from Boston and
New York, as well as many from South
ern and Western points, leaped from
them and Scurried for accommodations
in the hotels.
So many excellent reports of the fitness
of Young Corbett' have been current
that opinions of staunch a>.-erents of
the champion have been slightly shaken
None of the New York contingent here
has yet shown any weakness in this re-
spect, and many of them are flashing
money on the McGovern side, with very
weak responses from the opposite camp
That the contestants are pretty equally
matched as to height, girth and age
there is no question. Everyone who has
seen McGoyern fight knows that the
champion is a rugged, intrepid, two
handed boxing machine, and while the
newcomer has shown a world Of clever
ness on nearly every essential point, no
one seems satisfied that he is up to a
gruelling mix-up.
When seen at his quarters this even
ing, Young Corbctt was enjoying a sup
per which was large enough to satisfy
the appetite of hard-worked farm hand.
He looked like a mild-mannered stu
dent just enjoying a brief vacation, and
showed no sign of nervousness.
Corbett Is Confident.
tI feel fine" he said in answer to d
'volley of questions. 'I am away below
the limit, or I would not be eating so
heartily" he continued. 81 will weigh
in all right at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ming. I am not undertaking my opponent
when I say that 1 believe that I will
win. 1 will go to bed at o'clock, as L
always read myself to sleep"
The little Western lad then left the
room, and as he went he was the re-
cipient of many wishes Of good luck
from several of those who We're near by.
His manner and bearing since his arrival
here have gained many friends for the
Colorado boxer.
Terry MeGovern, his manager and a
retinue of trainers and rubbers arrived
here fom New York at 1890 tonight
They were accompanied by host of

DANCERS WERE
IN GOOD SPIRITS.


Perhaps IT was because they were
dancing for charity, perhaps because the
floor was so perfectly waxed, or perhaps
because the music was in such perfect
time and tune, that everybody last night
seemed to enjoy so thoroughly this char
fty ball of 1901. As the evening waned,
pink cheeks grew roster, bright eyes
grew brighter, slippered feet moved
more swiftly, until at midnight the ball
was at its height. And it was at mid
night that the guests began to think of
refreshments and to find their way to
the supper room on the third floor Three
large round tables were handsomely dec
GRATED with cut flowers and candelabra
The tables We're in. charge of the women
of st. Johns, Christ church and ST

were hooded in green silk and a great
mass of maidenhair fern formed a cool
and most attractive centerpiece. Mrs.
Z. l.. Greene. Mrs. Judson, Mrs B. /.
Stanton, Mrs. William Ely BramhaIl.
Miss. Meyers and Miss Bend had charge.
The table in charge of the women of ST.
Paul's church were decorated in red and
White, the centerpiece being a bunch of
RED and white roses. Mrs Oliver Dali
rymple and Mrs. Hiram Stevens had
charge of this table. They were assist
ed by number of the young women
OF the church. The Christ church table
had mass of pink chrysanthemums for
a centerpiece, hooded lights carried out
the dainty color scheme. Mrs. Reuben
Warner had charge of this table. as
sisted by number OF Christ church
women.
Much of the success of last nights
ball was due to the untiring efforts of
the ushers and to their courteous as
sistants. Mr.. Pals Fletcher was head
usher last night, and he was assisted
by A ii. Stern. Julian Kirby. W. w. Price,

sweet strains of Home Sweet Home
sounded through the ballroom the hour

had reached the figure 8.

Masonic Hall Was Dream of Harmonious
Color Matrons and Debutantes Cor
geously GoWned

Another charity ball has become part
of ST.; Pauls social history, and what
promises to be one of the eayest of WIN
terS in the Sanity City capital has been
formally ushcred in. If pretty women,
handsome gowns and seductive music
make the success of a party then was
last nights ball complete success All
the pretty buds of this year and last
we're present, and their gorgeous frocks-
very new. very swagger and vastly he
cOming-made the beautiful dancing hall
dream of harmonious colors For un-
der the hooded lights OF the ball room
the pinks, the blues, the green's and all
the exquisite nondescript tints that seem
to be the fashion this season, softened
and blended into most harmonious cclor
scheme. There was youth and beauty on
the floor last night, but there was also
youth and beauty in the boxes and the
galleries as WELL for not all who came to
last nights ball chose to dance.
AS has always been the custom at other
charity balls a very simple decorative
scheme was carried out in the ballroom.
The room itself is SO beautiful that any
thing ornate in the way of decorations
would detract from its beauty and from
the effect of the dainty evening dresses
of the women. The raised daiS at one
end of the hall was draped with a big
silken flag, and ON the steps of the dais
were grouped a number of tall palms.
To the right of this dais was stationed
Danz's orchestra. A row of palms and
short curtains of smilax partly concealed
the musicians from the dancers. Shortly
after $50 the orchestra began the Fam
pa overture, Herold, and for half an
hour following played an exquisite prom
enade concert A little before 8 the re-
ceiving women took their station at the
head Of the hall. They were Mrs. j. B.
Hoxie, Mrs. Henry Hale, Mrs s. r. Van
SAINT, Mrs. Z. N. Saunders, Mrs. Dous-
man, Mrs H. p. Upham, Mrs. B. NJ
Griggs, Mrs. e. A. Jaggard. Phe guests
were unusually late in arriving, and it
was 1890 before the dressing rooms were
clear of the last group of cloak-wrapped
women. The dancing floor was at no
time oyercrowded. In fact, last nights
charity ball was In no sense a crush
How much more successful. or how much
less successful, financially, it was than
other balls 1t would be impossible now
to state. 1t is probable. however, that
ST. Luke's hospital will be very much
the richer for last nights big ball.
