A NEW BOOK.
GrinneII Man About to Spring a Sen.
sation on the World.

Grinnell, Jan. 4-(SpeciaD-J F.
Whitmore, of this city, has written a
book, which will be published in two
volumes as soon as advance subscrip-
lions in sufficient numbers have been
obtained to warrant it's publication.
Mr.. Whitmore's book is written along
religious lines, and unless he is great
ly mistaken, no book ever published
can hold candle to it." "By mere
accident" to quote the prospectus,
discoveries were made which con-
vinces him that he has found certain
things of great practical value, and
which proved to his establishment to
be also the fulfillment of prophecy by
the bible"
His book is believed to be the Book
of Remembrance of Malachi, 3:16.
Everything is made clear in this
new prophetic deliverance; the CON
tradictions and obscurities of the
bible are all explained. Life, death,
the origin of man, even the greatest
of all mysteries-how the Son of Man
could at the same time be the son Of
Joseph, the Carpenter, and be God,
tn, creator of the universe. All is
cleared UP in the book.

MORE LEGISLATION is NEEDED.
Law Regulating Commerce Among
States, Needs Fixing.

Washington, Jan. Am the four.
teenth annual report of the interstate
commerce commission sent to con-
gress today, attention is called by the
commission to the necessity for furth-
er legislation amending the act to reg
ulate commerce, and the reasons Tor
urging those amendment having been
carefully. explained in previous re-
ports. "a knowledge of the present
conditions and tendencies" they say,
increases rather than lessons the
necessity for legislative action upon
lines already indicated and in such
other directions as will furnish an
adequate and workable statute for the
regulation of commerce among the
several states"
The Railroads Evade Law.
1T is evident" the report says,
that railroad managers generally
have made no attempt to conform
their practices to the spirit of the law.
They may keep within it's letter. and
succeed in avoiding it's penalties, but
they claim they are virtually COMPEL
ed to counterfeit its aim and evade it's
observance. Thus it happens some of
the most important and useful Incl
dents of railway service are main
tanned by methods which are believ-
ed to be harmonious with, if not in
actual collation. of, the federal statute.
This is more than a question of pool
ing contracts between rival carriers
1t is question of SUCH agreements as
relate to classification, terminal
charges and the like, concerning
which uniformity, certainty and sta
bility are of manifest benefit and con-
venience to the public.
Acts of Injustice Committed.
Under the conditions now existing
it is inevitable thatfrequent discrimin-
ations should occur and endless acts
of injustice be committed. Thearet-
ically it is possible for each road to
observe it published schedules in ev-
cry particular and that this, in any case
must be done, if done at all, only at
loss of needle dtraffic, unless all rival
roads with equal strictness and hon
esty, conform in like manner to their
published rates.
Present Policies Bad.
The idea of public regulation i'm
plies certain standards of correct con-
duct to which all carriers shall con-
form. The policy now pursued can.
not and will not prevent the outcome
of vicious discrimination. And
what is most unfortunate Of all, those
determinations favor the few and
place the many at a disadvantage, and
are always unjust and often destruct-
i've. The present state of law has I'M
doubtedly furnished great incentive
to consolidation or the unification of
rival lines, which it at once a most
conspicuous and significant result of
current railroad financiering.

HIS SON IS MISSING.

HE ASKS EVERYONE TO ASSIST HIM

Fruitless- Disappearance Dates
From Early in october-Boy Start.
ed Out to Look for His Parent.

An Ottumwa man is particularly an.
Xlous regarding the whereabouts OF
his son. This man is j. B. Heaton
and the sons name is John. The dis
appearance dates from early in last
October, and the place from which the
boy went is Keokuk. Since that time
Heaton and wife have taken up their
residence in this city
Mr.. Heaton today explained the af.
fair as follows: He is cook, and for
number of years he has been en-
ployed in that capacity on Mississippi
river steamboats,, and last summer he
had run on the J. w. Young, which
piled between Burlington and Daven.
port. Mrs. Heaton, who is not the
boys mother, being Mr.. Heaton's sec.
end wife, lived in keokuk and she
had charge of the youth. Early in Oc-
tober, Mr. Heaton having been out on
"a two or three months trip and the
folks at home not having heard from
him, the boy took it upon himself to
start out on the river in search for the
missing parent.
Shortly after that time Mr.. Heaton
finished his summers work and re-
turned to his home in Keokuk, and
first learned that ne boy was out try
ing to look him up. 1t was not long
afterwards that MI. and Mrs. Heaton
moved to Ottumwa, and took up their
residence at, No. S14 East Main street.
Mr.. Heaton secured a situation as
cook at P. Maloney's and he has hopes
of getting work in one of the hotels
within few weeks.
He was at Keokuk a few days ago
making inquiries, and he learned that
John had not been seen by Keokuk
people since October 1t was also
learned that he went south on the
Mississippi. This being the case it
was thought that he might have gone
to Edna, Mo-, where he has brother,
William Heaton, living. But inquiry
of William brings out the fact that he
has not seen John for many months.
John has fair skin, black eyes,
dark hair and he is five feet and four
inches in height. The youth does not
know, it seems, that his parents have
removed to OttumWa.
