A BOOK REVIEW.

We have before new and interesting novel
written by r. H. p. Miles, entitled ssThree Men
and Woman" The story is the realistic tale of
one of the most mystifying and thrilling criminal
scenes of the century The plot is laid upon the
facts of that puzzled the metropolitan police
for many days. and the author of the story is said
to have been the who made the solution of the
mystery possible 1t is far cry from the innocent
Vlennese girl to the high spirited, dashing adven-
turess, who risks her all for the qualification of the
whims and caprice of fashion, But the closing
scenes show, that after all she possessed a true
womans heart and that after sorrows and disgraces
had ground the pride from her spirit she could
again become the pure hearted woman The story
is written with almost too true colorng. Since
the murder scene in Olive Twist, no crime has been
related with such thrilling vivdness and such effec-
tveness of detail The story relates to the life and
love of high spirited girl. Born in the suburbs
OF Vienna she becomes enamoured of the CAV life
OF that gay city, and she finally elopes with young
student and goes to New York with him. They are
married and the young doctor works his way to
success; too slowly, however for his proud and ex
ravagant wife. At this time all the evil of her ma

ture shows itself, and as most unnatural wife and
mother, she leaves home and little one and casts
for herself in the big city. After time she meets
a former friend of her husband, whom she has long
loved in secret and the relations between them are
fully told. The heavy william now enters the al
ready dark plot, in the shape of mysterious
stranger, who developes sort Of hypnotic inAu
ence over the fair Vennese Although hating him
in her heart, she does his bidding, and he to make
her all his own makes her plan and execute with
him a most atroclous murder. The details of this
crime are fully told and the remainder of the novel
deals with the discovery of the crime, the punish
ment of the guilty and the closing scene Of the
heroines restoration to sight and to the arms of
her first love. Not theleast interesting thing about
this story is that it is written by resident Of Car
roll, young and successful writer and divine
Nearly 500 copies have been sold in Carroll and
the book is said to be meeting with great success
in the East.

THE RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS.

The railroad assessment has been completed. and
like every other railroad assessment l.. this and
every other state it has ccasioned some criticism
The party in power is always accused OF beng par
tial to corporations. That is not original with
this generation, and the present administration of
Iowa has been no exception to the rule. The crit
cism INDUCED during Governor Shaw's admins
tration has been directed against the Northwestern
railroad, very naturally. He lives on this road,
and the people of the state more readily be led
to believe that he favors this line. That the North
western road has increased in value, no one Denies
but its assessment has also been ncrea ed. Per
NIT comparison between lands in Crawford coun-
ty, and this line of railroad. In 1869 all Of Morgan
township could have been purchased for S. per
1t then assessed at $3.50 per cent Of
its actual value. In 1879 it was assessed at So per
acre, and it could have been bought for $40 In
1889 it was assessed at So. so per acre and could
have been bought for s25 In 1899 was assessed
at So. 80 per and could not have been bought
for six times So. 80 per acre.
Following is the assessment of live stock for cor
responding decades:

How about the railroad? The first assessment
of railroads under the present law was in 1872.
The main line of the Northwestern, concerning
which all criticism is directed, was then assessed
at So 300 per mile. This had been advanced to
$4,000 per mile in 1850. Since then, (and nearly
all of it during Governor Shaw's administration,
its assessment has been increased to s11,75o per
mile. an increase. OF 175 per cent. During the
same ten years the assessed value of Crawford
county farm lands has increased only TX per cent
Its lands, Gncluding buildings), town lots,
(including towns and additions to old ones).
live stock on these farms, (including increased
numbers), has increased only 61a per cent. The
farmers of Crawford county have been paying an
ever decreasing proportion of the burdens of taxa
ton as compared with railroads.
Had Governor Shaw lived on the Rock Island
road, his critics would have had better reason AS
it is those who criticse insist that the Rock Island
road should be assessed lower still Its gross earn
ings, less operating expenses, are So, 355 per mile;
those of the North Western, So, 234 per mile; Of
the c. B. & O., S1,o16 per mile. Since 1900, the
assessed valuation of the main line of the Rock
Island has been increased II per cent
The Des Mones Register, referring to this draws
this conclusion cit is said that the North Western
road has been in politics, and the Rock Island has
not If this accusation be true then it is many
fold more profitable for railroad to keep out of
Iowa politics.

THE SOCIAL REALM.


The best proof regarding the
success of a party of any kind, is
the peoples testimonials in regard
thereto. Saturday, everyone who
attended the Masonic party of
Friday evening, spoke loud praises
ofroyal entertainment received at
the hands of the local order of Free
Masons. The affair occurred at
the Masonic hall from $50 until
nearly 2 o'clock on Saturday morn
ing and there were about two
hundred and fifty persons present
one of the largest assemblies
that was ever present at a social
gathering in Devils Lake. Cards
and dancing we're INDUCED in and
the capacity of the hall was taxed
to it's UTMOST. Every one agreed
that it was the jolliest party that
ever occurred in Devils Lake.
The lunch which was served by
the gentlemen was a rare treat.
As if by magic, a number of the
members of the entertaining order,
left the dancing and reception
room to prepare the supper and in
afew minutes reappeared ready to
serve the lunch. Tables were ar
ranged in the dancing hall and re-
ception room and the gentlemen.

aprons and served the immense
assemblage, The supper consisted
of sandwiches, cake. coffee, dough

various kinds and ice cream

we're removed and the dancing
and card playing resumed. G. j
Hops, of Grand Forks, presided at
the piano and his. superiority a
the piano displayed. His playing
was the source of much favo rabl,
comment and could not fail tx
please the most fastidious
Throughout the evening, anothe:
proof of the jolly, happy time bein|
had by the pleased guests, was tn
incessant roars of hearty laughte
that filled the hall and reception
rooms. 1t would surely cure tn
blues, had any one been SO unfort
innate as to be afflicted with tina
grave trouble of the heart. Tn
Masonic parties have always bee
regarded as rare and happy socit
times, but Friday evenings enter
tainment exceeded any other part
ever given by the order. The al
fair was a complimentary one, ad
