-Mahaska County seems to be
keeping up her proud position in the
legislature. The only contest in the
organization of the body was won by
Judge Blanchard, and Miss Christie
was made enrolling clerk of the
Senate, Judge Blanchard is himself
considered one of the first men in the
assembly and his abilities have been
recognized by his selection as chair
man of the important committee on
railroads. Miss Lena McMiIlen has
been chosen clerk for bis committee.
Hon. w. G. Jones has also been
placed on a number of committees in
the house, and is chairman of the
committee on Police Regulations.

Governor Cummins has received
from ex- Lieutenant Governor Milli-
man the formal report of the COM
missioners for Iowa of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition to be held at st.
Louis. The report contains detailed
estimates of the money needed for
Iowa's part in the exposition. The
total appropriation desired is s25s, 100,
of which 100000 is for building and
plumbing, 500, 900 for superintendent
d-employes and SO, COO for commits
sioners. Considering the magnitude
of the exposition and the proud posi-
tion low a holds in the Louisiana Pur-
chase territory, the sum asked is not
unreasonable.

GETTING THE NEWS.

Though at fearful cost Oskaloosa
found place on the front page under
great headlines of every paper in the
country on Saturday. The Lost Greek
disaster was one ofthe most startling
accidents that has ever happened in
Iowa, and all the larger Iowa papers,
and those of Chicago and st. Louis
clamored for the latest news. From
Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock until IL
at night, aud all day Saturday two
HERALD men besides several special
correspondents were kept busy writ
ing and filing reports, and the West
ern Union Telegraph Company and
the two telephone companies kept
their wires hot with messages. One
Chicago paper ordered $500 words
filed at once, and while they did not
use it all, they succeeded in keeping
the other Chicago papers off the
wires long enough to get out spe-
cial edition and beat their compet-
itors. Another trick was played by
a Des Moines paper which secured
control of the toll telephone line and
held it at the rate of 80 cents per
each 5 minutes until it had scooped
its contemporaries The telegraph and
telephone charges alone in the local
offices amounted to about S100.

Tho Pacific cable question will
come in for great deal of discus
sion, but the chances are that it will
be disposed of quicker than the
isthmian canal issue, which now
promises to hang on to near the end
of the session, and may possibly go
over to the next session A Pacific
cable, like an isthmian canal, is a
very urgent need. Happily, the ex-
penditure in the case of the cable
will be small compared with that
which the canal will necessitate. The
only thing which has a chance to de.
lay the construction of cable is the
possibility that Marconi's system Of
wireless telegraphy may be made
available in the next two or three
years.

TAI FOR TROLLEYS.

Iowa State Register: Senator
Blanchard's bill to authorize the vot-
ing of taxes in aid of interurban troll.
ley lines was designed by him to
meet an emergency in Mahaska eoun-
ty. Arrangements were made to hold
an election in Oskaloosa and vote
taxes in aid of an interurban line
running out from that city, when it
was discovered that tho law did not
specifically cover the case. The
measure was introduced as an emer-
gency bill, and after being referred
to the committee on railroads, was
considered by that committee of the
senate Immediately and recommend
ed for passage. 1t had been printed
prior to the meeting of the legislature
that the railroads would resist the ex-
tension OF equal privileges to electric
lines on account of the inevitable
competition which will result between
the steam roads and the trolley lines
when the latter have been construct
ed. So far, however, there is no evil
dence of the intention on the part OF
the steam roads to resist propos ais
for the extension of the present laws
in aid of steam roads to their electric
competitors. In all probability the
laws relating to condemnation of
property, to the use of the highways
to the construction of the electric
wiring necessary to operate this class
of road, the construction of highway
crossings, speed and all other regula.
tions of steam roads, together with
the general control by the state rail-
way commission, will be extended to
take in electric lines.

The Cunarder Umbria, which bas
Just arrived from Liverpool, talked
by means of the wireless telegraph,
with her sister ship, the Etruria, pro-
ceediug eastward. President Frank
lin, on the Umbrla, caught" the
call in latitude IL, and longitude
1926. The conversation was contin-
ued for three hours and thirty min
utes. The shortest distance at which
conversation was carried on was
thirty-two miles and the longest 10s
or ITO miles nautical, equivalent to
about 125 geographical miles. This
was four miles further than these two
ships have heretofore talked with
each other and marks another epoch
in the advance of science that is
destined to work a revolution in the
worlds progress.

-Cougressman Lacey has intro
duced bill in congress in which the
people of this district and Southern
Iowa are greatly interested. 1t pro-
vides for federal court building at
Ottumwa and if it passes will make
another place of holding federal court
in the southern district of Iowa. At
present there are four places of hold
ing federal court in the southern dis
trict, Des Moines, Keokuk, Council
Bluffs and Creston. This gives a
court to every congressional district
in the southern part of the state ex
cept the Sixth, and the people of this
district feel that they are entitled to
a court. At present they are re-
quired to go to Keokuk.

fully Investigated, resulting in the
seizure of 1890 quail, 974 prairie
chickens, 3s7 miscellaneous game and
2,60S plume birds, making total OF
nearly 10000 birds. These cases
originated in twelve states and ter
ritories, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Missouri, Maryland, Indian
Territory, New Jersey, oklahoma,
South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas,
IA of the cases being handled by Ohio
authorities, and the remainder being
turned over to the department of
justice for prosecution in the Federal
courts. The Cuvier Club is greatly
pleased overthe workings of the law,
and has asked the government to
send an agent or two to Cincinnati,
the club promising it's assistance in
ferreting out the vioIators.of the game
laws.
The one great trouble in enforcing
game laws is to induce people to
testify against the wrong doers, an
instance of this being the Shaw ban
quet in Des Moines where 400 quail
were served. Major s. H. M. Byers
said yesterday he remembered when
venison could be bought in Iowa for
a cent pound, and when prairie
we're so common that there
was no sale for them. OF course
those days can never return, but the
days of plentiful game can and will
come if the people assist in enforcing
the game laws.

BLIND BOONE.
An Evening OF Rare Enjoyment al the
central N z Church

The Blind Boone entertainment d,
the Methodist church last eYanifie
given under the adsPit5s 81 the
Methodist Sunday school was a very
successful and pleasing entertain
ment in all ways.
The attendance was all that could
be expected considering the weather
and the Sunday school will profit
financially to the extent of about
half hundred dollare.
Blind Boone has ijeen seen in the
city number of times but he is al
ways welcome for he never fails to
entertain and to please. His
work OF last EVENING" shows that
be still retains his wonderful
powers of expression. The cyclone
piece was an example of the mnsi-
clans skill. The piece was so realis-
tic that there were few in the house
unaffected by it. Children we're seen
to hide their faces and seek pro-
lection of those near them aud some
of the older ones were none too
brave and thought they wouldNrather
have music OF different sort,
The vocal numbers were all pleas
ing. Numerous encores were de-
manded and responded to. A feature
of the evening was the perfect re-
production of an original composition
by John Caste, which Blind Boone
had never heard before.
All in all the entertainment left
nothing to be desired and we are
pleased to have had the great Blind
Boone with us again.

-Dr. d. A. Hoffman makes the
timely suggestion that the farmers
of Mahaska county and the business
men of Oskaloosa, formulate stock
company and build coliseum suit
able for the annual institute The
building could also be used for con-
yentions, the Eisteddfod AID other
large gatherings during the year.
Here also could be stored many of
the valuable relics and monuments
of the county that are now suffered
to decay or stand in obscure corners.
The more one thinks of the scheme,
the more apparent becomes the need
of such building in Oskaloosa.
