REp1srRIcr1NG PLANS.

ICouncil BluffS Nonpafell.I
In behalf of Muscatine county the
Muscatine Journal demands a redis-
tricting of the state because "Musca-
tine, by its steadfast adherence to the
republican party, deserves to be placed
in district where it can receive some
substantial recognition of its republic
ans" A redistricting may be advisable.
but not upon the selfish grounds put
forth by the Journal. 1t is true that
there is more or less gerrymandering in
every division of a state into congress
sional districts and perhaps in meas
ure it is justifiable; but it Is of doubt
full propriety for Muscatine county to
urge that it be placed so that some of
it's aspiring men may get office. That
county had a chance in the recent con-
gressional fight but it failed to make
the most of it. Mr.. Hoffman did not
win even tho the republican state tick
ct received majority. Even Musca-
tine with it's boosted republican ma
jority gave it's home candidate for con-
gress but little more than 800 pluSality
while it gave Secretary of State Mar
tin more than TOO.
LIGHT FRANCHISE CARRIED.
Fairfield Ledger.]
The gas franchise asked by the
Fairfield Gas and Electric Company
carried by vote of 357 to 3S3 at the
special election held on the 4th inst. 1t
was defeated at the city election last
spring by a vote of ATT to 243 In the
meantime, however. the company had
made some radical changes in its prop
csition, all of them to the advantage of
the city, or to the consumer OF it's
products. Under the former ordinance
the franchise extended over a period of
twenty years, while it is now reduced
to fifteen The proposed rate for gas
for the entire period was $1.70 per
thousand feet for Illuminating pur-
poses, $1.60 for fuel and light, and $1.50
for fuel alone. This is cut to fiat rate
of $3.50 per thousand for the first five
year, $155 for the second five years and
$3.50 for the third five years. Under the
old proposition nothing was said con-
corning electric lights, while the COM
pany now proposes to make reduction
to 16, Is and IA cents per thousand watt
hours for the three fve-year periods.
These reductions are to take effect on
Dec. 1, 1902.
1t is probable that the whole matter
is now settled for fifteen years to come.
The new rates look fair and reasonable,
and they are certainly much better
than at any time in the past.

WAGER A DEAR ONE
Edward Meenan Jumps From
Embankment and is Seri-

ATTEMPTS TO WIN FIVE CENT BET
Both Bones of Left Ankle Frac
tured-Sent to Hos
pitaI.

Boyish recklessness yesterday led
Edward Meenan, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Meenan, 27O2 Eighth avenue, to
attempt a feat that sent him to the
hospital with both bones of his left
ankle badly fractured.
Edward, who is II years of age,
was playing with number of other
boys about the waterworks at the
foot of Twenty-fourth street.
Tied to the shore in the log runway
north of the waterworks was an
empty barge, and the boys fell TO
bantering each other to jump from
the bank which * formed of rat
things and is 10 or II feet high, down
to the deck of the barge.
Young Meenan was dared to try it,
and finally one of the boys bet him
a nickel that he was afraid. The
money was put up and the lad pre-
pared to make the leap. The other
boys became alarmed and tried to
t.ssuade him, but he declared he
would jump if it killed him, and
Jump he did.

GUEST is AN APPARENT
VICTIM OF INGRATITUDE

The domicile of a teamster named
Evans on lower Second avenue Sat
urday night was the scene of a rue
ton in which F. NJ Webb. a guest.
got the worst of it. Webb, who has
been staying at Evans, left there
recently and Saturday evening went
back for his things. a ''growler"
was brought into play and all went
merrily as long as Webb furnished
the amber liquid. BY and by, how
ever, the question of more beer led
to difference of opinion and after
a short argument Mr.. and Mrs. Evans
threw Mr.. Webb out onto the hard
sidewalk. The guest naturally OBJ
iected to the treatment and came
back i'm front of the screen door to
demonstrate. The host picked up
coal shovel and whaled away
through the door catching the party
on the outside on the chin and put
ting him out of the business. No
arrests were made.

ILLINOIS FARM VALUES:
ENORMOUS INCREASE SHOWN

The total value of the agricultural
lands. with buildings, implements
and live stock of Illinois, according
To the bulletin issued by the census
bureau. amounted in 1900 to the
enormous total of OO4.316.s97.
The census shows there were 264.-
ISL farms in the state. which were
worth 81. 765. 5s1 $50 for the land and
buildings alone, or an average of
81 900 for each farm. OF this sum
S251, 4S7,3sO, or IA per cent. was in
vested in buildings and S1,514,1l3.9lO'
or So per cent, in the land and inn
provements other than buildings.
The value of the farm implements
was $44.9T7.3 $40 and of. the live stock
Sl93. 75S. O37. thus making the grand
total of agricultural property of 81,
IOO4.316,S97.
The value of the products of the
Illinois farms in 1899 il set down at
S345. 649.611. of which SI3O.Sl6.9O5, or
IS per cent. was for animal products,
and S2l4. s32 .7O6, or 81 per cent. for
crops. including forest products.
The total farm products exceed
those of 1899 by $3.50, S9O.59s, or 81
per cent.
The report further shows that the
total area of the state of Illinois is
sc. 900 square miles, or 35.SlO,O00
acres, of which 32,7o4,72s acres are
in farms.
The farm values increased i'm the
great majority of the counties of the
state. but there were decreases quot
ed i'm Kankakee, Sangamon and War
rem counties. The acreage size of
the farms in 1900 is put down at l24
acres.
In dividing up the live stock it is
shown the horses footed up a pro-
portion of 30 per cent. the meat cat
tie. other than mich COWS, PAX per
cent, dairy COWS III per cent, swine
1872 per cent, mules SIS per cent,
poultry 80 per cent and sheep 10 per
cent.
1t may be noted that the census
shows that beets were raised on eX-
actly as farms and that the total
value of the product was only $780,
