ON THE RACE TRACK
At Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, April 6.-Waina Nor nen, by The Commoner-Matilda, owned by Abbott Brothers, was added to the list of starters in the Ardell stakes for z year-olds at Montgomery Park today at the last moment and justified the confi- dence of her owners and packers by win ming handily by length from Drum mond, who beat The Boston a head for second money. The race was run in oO1s, good time for the track.
 In the first event for 2-year-olds at four and a half furlongs, Bellies Commoner' by The Commoner-B Battle Belle, won handily, in hard drive. by nose, from South Elkhorn, with H. I. Coleman, the favorite, third. J. w. Woods, who rode Coleman, claimed that South Elkhorn fouled him at the head of the stretch. and the judges allowed the claim, placing Coleman second.

STEEL COMBINE
 AND STANDARD OIL.
NockefeIler's Entry Into Iron and Steel Trade and Probable ! Business Policy

Much has been published from Wall Street sources in the past week or two bf the probable earnings of the new cor poration, says the Iron Trade Review of Cleveland. The presence of so many prominent Standard oil Company off eials Is pointed to as a prophecy of the application of Standard oil Company methods to the iron trade. The prediction has been made that the common stock will sell ultimately higher than the pre- terred. and the companys securities are. already gazetted as the popular invest ment and speculative stocks of the fu- ture. It Is true that MT. Rockefeller has entered sooner into the steel trade, and through the front door, than many in the trade believed would be, the case. Newspaper space in plenty has been. de- voted in the past five years to outlines of his plans for great blast furnaces and steel works representing the most modern construction and practice-and generally the story had some touches referring to an impending battle royal with the lead lng, Pittsburg company. The reality is different from the picture, but it is sig nifcant that the house of Rockefeller comes into the steel trade as some other well known names disappear, and that hereafter the names that stand for mill lions will be the synonyms for the iron and steel development of the United States. Whether they will keep all the promises of those who are now most in dustriousy touting the new stock is an- other question. One would naturally ex- pect from such control a policy that would put the new securities among the soundest on the list. making the declara- tion of dividends on stocks representing good will and the overflow of prosperous eifnes entirely a secondary consideration.

Thls Better Age.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The Deeds of such men as Hobson, Funston and the latest hero, Com mander Roper, who gave his life to save a seaman, are convincing proofs that the Cge of heroism and unself1sh- ness is not past There never was time in the history of the world when mep were more capable of great deeds, and, more than that, there has never been time when the public con science was so highly developed and men so regardful of the rights and claims of others. This is an age of vast philanthropy; humane age. Wit ness the different treatment accorded the insane, the orphaned children and all other classes that have fallen un- der the frown of fortune. Were there nothing else to prove this assertion, there would be ample justification for 1t in the advanced educational facili- ties provided in the schools of every civilized country in the world. The teacher is no longer the iron-hearted pedagogue, but the wise and discrim- mating instructor, who jealously watches the unfolding mind and turns the feeble intellectual step into the safest and easiest paths. Witness the hospitals with the trained nurses, the effective sanitation, the skilled treat ment and the accommodations in every modern city so great that none of the deserving poor need suffer for lack of scientific care.
 It was saying of Napoleon that human nature was always and every where the same, and, consequently, we may expect A reDetitiou fyf the braveat deeds that were ever performed of old. They will come in response to every occasion, and while the proportion may not increase 1t will certainly not decline. On the other hand, mems manners are constantly being subdued under the ennobling influence of the Christian religion. and while the up ward progress of the race may seem slow, it only seems so. The spiritual growth of mankind cannot be doubted.

Down in Alabama.

By E. V. Dey. 'Mong the hills of Alabama
 You can hear the echoes ring, With the music of the darkies
 As at work they gaily sing. The voice of spring Is heard again And plantin' times begun, The time for droppin' cotton
 And for plantin' corn has come. The fields have been made ready
 Those fields so rich and brown And the brawny negro slings his hoe
 And lays the plough-shares down. From the distance comes a murmer Of the breezes through the pines, And a faint. sweet oder's waited
 From the yellow jasmine vines.
 That first sweet touch of summer
 Steals gently OCT the brain, As we listen to the song-birds
 And the humming bees again.
 As the sun sinks low and lower
 When the day is really done. You can hear the dar1xies' home song As from the fields they come. Iris here in Alabama,
 Where that perfect soulful rest Steals upon us gently, calmly!
 As the sun sinks in the West.

Spencer, March 30.-The little town
81. Webb, in the southeastern part OF
Clay county, seems to be having a hard
time with itself. Some time ago they
tried to incorporate and an election was
held. Some Of the citizens being dis
satisfied with the results, succeeded in
annulling the election and a new one
was ordered. This second election was
held few days ago and feeling runs
higher than ever. There We're two
tickets In the field-the poor mans and
the rich mans, which were respectively
called by the opposing factions the.
"hobo ticket and the brass collar
ticket" The .hobos won out by ma
5ority OF three. A travelling man for a
tobacco house happened into the town
soon after the election and put up at
the only hotel In the town. He succeed
ed In getting orders from a restaurant
man and three merchants, the former of.
which was .'hobo" and Che latter
brass collarites.' The hotel keeper
evidently is also brass colarite," for
when the restaurant man found out
that the drummer was stopping at the
hotel the latter was Immediately in
formed that he would have to quit the
hotel or the order would be cancelled.
So the drummer, to appease his custom
er, took dinner at the: restaurant.
Whereupon the three merchants, being
informed of the drummer's action, can
celled their orders forthwith. In this
dilemma the restaurant man bravely
came to the rescue and Increased his or
der to an amount equalling the other
three. The drummer, however, has had
all the experience he wants and has
concluded to drop the town from his
route as long as the present status of
AFFAIRS exists. AS the station agant of
s the c., NJ. & st. p. railway was the
& victorious head of the hobo" ticket.
= the brass collarites' have decided to
boycott his railroad and will ask the
{ c., r. /. & p. railway, which runs with
in short distance of the town. to erect
depot on their road where they can
receive their freight.
Webb is one OF Clay countys hustling
new towns and has made fine growth
during the past year. 1t is to be hoped
{ that the factional strife there will soon
E die out and the i'll feeling blow over. for
the town is too good a one to be checked
In its rapid strides forward.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo March 3O.-Dr. Shrader, Of
Iowa city, president of the state board
OF health, accompanied by DR.. J. G.
Powers. OF Reinbeck, himself a member
of the board. made a thorough iiivesti-
CATION OF the smallpox situation here.
They say it is the genuine article. DR..
ehrader read q partial report on the
conditions here as follows:
In the investigation today in COM
pany with DIR. Powers, we have found
that severe epidemic is raging in this
city and have found upon diagnosis
that 1t is Enthusiastically smallpox. The
amount of exposure has been very
great on account of proper and vigilant
steps not being taken Immediately upon
Its discovery. We found fifteen unlual-l
flied cases of smallpox and understand
there were two more under quarantine
which we we're unable to visit There
should be ND hesitation on the part of
any physician in diagnosing the cases
as smallpox.
The neglect OF the physicians 70 Inn
mediately report any case that may
come to them is a menace to the public
safety and should be harshly dealt with.
We would recommend that diligent care
should be taken of the pest house: that
all quarters exposed to the germ should
be thoroughly disinfected and that a
rigid quarantine be kept over those
suffering from or exposed TO the mall
ady until all possible danger is past
Al who refuse to be vaccinated should
be kept in quarantine until 1t IS sure
they are not affected by II.
This report is lacking In a number
of ways on account of the limited
amount of time allowed in It's prepara-
ton, but l will make a fun report when
Il reach home and send it to you satur-
4 day morning, with recommendations in
regard to the handling OF the disease Z
said Dr. Shrader In concluding his re-
port. When questioned in regard to the
disease in other parts of the stare he
said that thu most malignant form was
in the southwestern part. altho 1t was
quite bad in Mason City, ten deaths be-
ing reported from there in five days,
and that 1t was gradually spreading
turnout the entire state.
