A BIG CONTRACT.
Iowa Central Purchases $50, 900
Worth of Material.

Eighty thousand dollars represent
the amount of two new contracts that
have been let by Purchasing Agent
Fred Wing, of the Iowa Central, for
new railroad steel and Rogers ballast
cars, which are being and will be de-
livered in their entirety before the
end of the month.
The steel contract is being filed
now, the first invoice having been re-
ceived Thursday from the Illinois
Steel Company, Chicago. The steel
is seventy pounds in weight and is to
be used in laying the new track this
summer. Fifteen hundred tons, val
ued at $40, 900, constitutes the entire
order.
Word was received by Mr.. Wing
Thursday from the American Car &
Foundry Company, Chicago, that the
fifty pew Rogers ballast cars recently
contracted for were being built and
would be ready for delivery this month
as the contract specifies. The con-
tract was originally made with the
Rogers Ballast Car Company, but in
order to hurry up the job it was sub
let to the American Car & Foundry
Company. Mr.. j. L. Dougherty has
been appointed as the Central's in
spector and will leave for Chicago in
a few days to look after the work and
see that it is done according to con-
tract. Mr.. @. Il. Mead, general fore
man of the Central car shops, will
accompany Mr. ougherty and will be
on the ground a few days. These tif-
ty hrs will cost the Central another
4 10000. They are of the regulation
Rogers type, $4,000 pounds capacity,
and will be used in the construction
work this summer to be carried on all
over the line.
The cars are combined ballast and
coal, and when not in service as bal
last a n canlsbe used to transport
coal. One pillow car m with the
lot, and will be used in spreading the
gravel DR. ballast after it is dumped by
the cars. These ears are constructed
so that they will placei the ballast in
the center of the track and will dis
tribute the ballast to the exact posi-
tions wanted. Each a carries thir-
ty-six cubic yards of gravel or ballast
and in making the distribution as
wantedileaves the track in perfect
shape for the fastest traffic in from
twelve tolftteen minutes after dump
ing. A great saving of ballast is made
also in the use of the cars, as none is
lost yer embankments, the exact
amount required being regulated to a
nicely.

Carrie Nation Tactics

Carrie Nation or some other smash
er has been at work in this vicinity.
AT least that is the construction that
Is placed upon an affair that has oc-
CURED at the club house on the river
owned by a number of the local
sportsmen. The house has been en-
tered some time during the winter
and everything in it has been prac-
tically destroyed. The dishes have
been broken up and thrown in all d.
rections; the bedding has been burn
ed; fishing tackle and other property
has been destroyed and it seems a
wonder that any of the building was
left. 1t Is thought that there is a
clew to the perpetrators of the deed
and If caught severe punishment will
be administered.

DECLINES
" M c A Decides &c Cannot Accept a
Part of the Sales

1t has been no small source of
qualification to the officers Of the
Young Mems Christian Association
that such great interest in their pro-
ject to erect a new building ade-
quate to the needs of the young 9
of our city, and to place within their
reach opportunities and privileges
which as yet they have never en-
joyed, has met with such hearty APP
proval and generous response.
And while the association appreci-
ates most thoroughly the encourage
ment and support of every friend,
yet the officers indulge a peculiar
satisfaction in that there is no more
loyal class of men, and none more
ready to cooperate in the effort of
the association to supply the COM
munity with young men mentally
and physically capable of becoming
active forces, and morally worthy of
any confidence or trust, than that
extremely practical fraternity, the
business men.
And while universally known that
there is no organization in America
which has SO completely found favor
with the great railroad and other
corporations, and successful business
men not 80 identified, it is with gen
uine pleasure that the realization
comes home that it is the same in
our own city.
This fact has been impressed upon
the directors during the last week,
within which time firms
have suggested that they we're will
ling to combine for a longer or short
er time, the interest of the building
project with their own business, Civ
ing the association a per cent of the
profits during this time.
And the association wishes to take
this opportunity of publicly thanking
these firms for their interest in the
movement and their generous offers.
The many p~roffers of this nature
make it necessary for the directors
to recognize the kindness Of these
friends as expressed in this manner,
but after more deliberate reflection
and carefully c~onvassing the matter
believe that it is possible that the
very object of the donors may be de-
feated and that Notwithstanding the
motive that prompted them, the re-
suit might be to embarass rather
than promote the enterprise, and en-
gender strife and contention among
business firms that would be detri-
mental to their interests as well as
the building movement.
So being prompted to believe, be-
of the number of suggested
moves already preached, that others
might follow, the directors, with full
appreciation of the kindly spirit, and
thanking them for the thoughtful
ness that prompted the offers, would
request that the name of the associa-
ton be not used in this connection,
and that they do not feel that they
can encourage this plan of raising
funds for the proposed building.

The announcement of the engage
ment of Gov. Taylor few days ago,
came as n surprise to his Nashville
friends, whose name is legion, and
from whom he had kept the secret of
the pretty romance that began in Mont
gomery. However, call the world q
lover loves" and it is hard, to those
who know him, to imagine more ideal
lover and beau cavalier than Robert L.
Taylor. He is the typical Southern
gentleman, warm. hearted, impetuous,
courteous, gallant and chivalrous to a
degree, and in his bearing toward
women is modern counterpart OF one
of the gentle men of FLOWING plume
and broidered vest, " who followed gay
Prince Rupert and fought for King
Charles. 1t is not necessary, in this
column, to speak at length of Gov.
Taylor's qualities. While Chief Execu-
tive of the state, he lived in this city,
and the thousands whom he knew, and
with whom he came in daily contact,
grew to regard him with an admiration
that begot love that has lasted long
after his departure.
His bride comes of one OF the Oldest
and best known families of the south.
