Our Railway and the Crops.

The United States has, exclusive of
second and third tracks, and yards
and sidings, 197, 237 miles of railway.
The world has, all told, less than $780,
900 miles. We not only have more
miles of railway than all the countries
of Europe combined Q72,O22), but,
counting second, third and fourth
tracks and sidings, more railway mile
age (265, 1866 miles, than all other
countries of the world combined.
The superiority of the United States
however, is not only in length of rail-
WAYS, but in the organization and
equipment of great railway systems
and in the business transacted. The
report Of the interstate commerce
commission for 1901 shows that Ameri-
can railways carried in one year Co.,
27S, 121 passengers and 1,OS9, 266. 440
tons of freight. This year the bust
ness in freight will be much heavier
because Of the larger crops.
1t is estimated that the corn crop
this year will measure 1900, 900. 900
bushels. or more than a billion bushels
greater than last year. If one-third
of this $500, 900, 900 bushels of corn
is put aside for consumption on the
farms the railroads will be called up
on to transport 1900, 900, 600 bushels.
At an average of thirty tons to the
car. this part of the corn crop to be
transported would load 1.547,777 box
car, or three and One-half times the
number of all the freight cars belong
ing to the Pennsylvania, New York
Central, Erie, Atchison, Missouri
Pacific, Burlington & Quincy, and
Rock Islanp railways combined.
Made up in trains of fifty cars each.
all the locomotives owned by all these
companies would be required to haul
the corn crop, if it was necessary for
it to 60 toward at one time.
In addition to this, the wheat crop
is estimated at $50, 900, 900 bushels.
and the crops of barley. rye, oats,
potatoes, hay and apples are reported
as large as last year. All these make
increased business for the railways.

The "Pnates" Again Successful.

The suggestion in the Tribune the
day following the first presentation of
the ''PirateS of Penzance, that the
opera be repeated, proved to be wise,
for at the second rendition Thursday
night the opera house was not only
filled to repletion, but the opera itself
grew more into popular favor, if that
were possible. The arias and cho-
rusSes, duets and solos, were as charm
ing as though they had never been
heard before. The audience was in a
pleasant state of expectation and had
come to enjoy the performance. The
singers had good right to be gratified
with the appreciation given to their
efforts and they no doubt feel the as
Surance that their work has not been
in vain.
Before the opera commenced Miss
Queen Cleveland came in front Of the
curtain and gave synopsis OF the
play, taking occasion to pay worthy
compliment to the musical genius OF
the late Sir Arthur Sullivan, the CON-
composer of the opera. Miss Cleaye-
land aptly closed her synopsis with a
quotation from "Hamlet''-'but the
plays the thing"
Mrs. {" Ruth DeLoney, who had
one of the most difficult parts, again
did 'excellently WE'LL" and her sing
ing and acting were the subject of
favorable remark.
Miss Blanche Turner, in the charac-
ter of +" Mabel, +" sang beautifully, and
i'm the higher notes her voice was par
ticularly fine, The duet Of Mabel y
and =" Frederic" (Mr. Harry Grube)
near the close, was beautiful.
MessrS. Thompson, Matthews and
CRUDE, who had the principal charac-
tiers OF the male voices, acquitted
themselves with great credit, the
chieftain of the black flag demonstrate
strating satisfactorily that 1T was "a
glorious thing to be a pirate king"
The daughters of the "Major-Gen-
eral mot one of them ''plain-faced'
delighted all with their chOruSeS and
acting. The policemen were as pop.
ular as ever, and went to "glory, .
even though they went down in the
endeavOr.
Ample credit must be given to Mrs
Mcdonald, the directress, under whose
laborious work the opera was pro-
duced.

An Epidemic of Colds.

There is at present an epidemic OF
cold in the city. which in no way diff
fers from hay fever. Physicians pro.
nounce this malady as nothing seri-
Gus, although it is very disagreeable
to the victim. Its cause is attributed
to the pronounced changes in the
weather. The patient has about the
same symptoms as if suffering from
hay fever, subject to violent attacks
of sneezing, eyes ache and appear
greatly irritated, and in some cases
the trouble is accompanied by chills.

John O'Brien, the Oldest conductor
on the Lake Erie has handed in his
resignation and made his last trip
south Thursday morning. He has had
charge of a train since 1861 and
during those Al years has never met
with an accident or had passenger
killed. 1t is hardly probable that any
other conductor in the United States
has such a record.
John O'Brien, the veteran conduct
of the Lake Erie road, who has just
handed in his resignation, began work
on the road as teamster when the
road was being built in 1852. He
was one of the first firemen ON the
road and during all his fifty years of
work has enjoyed good health. He and
his wife reside in their own home at
indianapolis and own several business
houses.

House Passed Constitutional Amend
ment Proposed BY Temple.
Dies Moines, March 26.-The house
passed the joint resolution introduced
BY Temple proposing an amendment
to the constitution Of Iowa relative
to the membership of the house and
senate. s rs.es... +. ? .-,.,... a-4s.
Under the provisions of the bill the
humber of members In the house will
be increased to 10S. The membership
Is to be determined by ratio arrived
at by dividing the total population of
the state by the number Of counties.
Each county, however, is to have one
representative. Each county having
more than three-tfths of the ratio in
addition to the ratio for one member
is to have an additional member. On.
ly the nine largest counties, however,
are to have two members. They are
as follows: Woodbury.. Polk. Potta'
wattamie, Linn, Dubuque, Scott, Gin.
ton, Lee and Des Moines. Under the
bill it is not likely that counties other
than the above will ever nave two rep
resentatives.
Y Temple introduced the same resolu.
ton six years ago; it passed boln gen.
eral assemblies as provided, but was
lost sight of Dy the people and de.
| feated by narrow margin.
The resolution will be submitted to
the Thirtieth general assembly, pro
| vided it passes the senate, and after
having been passed by that body will
be submitted to the people at the gen
eral election in 1904.

BOARD OF CONTROL HEARD.
Argue Successfully for Liberal Ap
U.s. LII .a4. preparations.

Des Moines, March 2S.-A joint con.
ference of the entire membership Of
the general assembly was held last
evening in the house chamber for the
purpose of hearing members of the
board of control in regard to the ON
nibus bill recommending appropria-
lions for state charitable institutions.
Senator Ball was made chairman
The three members of the board,
Chairman Cownie, and Judges Kline
and Robinson, were present. They
went over the ground in about the
same manner as argued in the bien-
NAL report to the legislature.
The object of this joint session was
for the purpose Of relieving the ap'
preparations committee of the respon-
sibility of making extraordinary ap.
propriations, which perhaps may re-
suit In an increased tax levy. The ap-
preparation committees desire that
whatever honor or stigma which may
be attached to the voting of such ap-
preparations should be be borne by
the whole legislature instead of by the
minority comprising such committees.
Throughout the entire session last
night few expressions were heard
which would indicate any great desire
on the part of the legislators to reduce
the amount of appropriations recon-
mended by the committees. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the omnibus bill
will suffer few changes SO far as the
aggregate appropriation is concerned.

is southern China is really an upris-

which, to use Chinese expression has
lost it's face" in it's surrender to the
foreigners. The native feeling has al
ways been strong in southern China,
where the Manchu rulers are regard
ed as intruders, and societies exist
with the object of driving them from
the throne. These societies are nu-
merous and powerful and they are pro-
tected by an elaborate system of GER
emonies and signs, some times called

nothing about Masonry. From the
government standpoint they are sim.
ply reasonable organizations and
wherever the government officials fee
is strong enough to attempt their sup

AFTER WHiTECHAPEL.
State Accuses Women Of Violating
the Mutct Law,

Des Moines, March 2S.-County At.
torney John McLennan, backed by the
Good Citizens League Of Des Moines,
has commenced wholesale raid on
the women of Whitechapel, who are
said to be engaged in the sale OF
liquor contrary to the Iowa mulct law.
Fourteen original notices were placed
in the hands OF Sheriff Mattern and
his deputies to serve on parties In
Whitechapel and other sections OF the
city where this lawlessness is said to
exist. These notices have been served
and accepted and an order OF the court
will issue prohibiting the defendants
from selling liquors anywhere within
the limits of the Ninth Judicial dis
trict of Iowa. Judge Holmes of the
criminal division will issue the tenn
porary writs.
County Attorney McLennan stated
that the prosecution of Whitechapel
habitues, and others Known to be vio-
lating the provisions of the state
liquor law, would not stop with the
| fourteen mentioned. The Good C!tl.
| zen's League, which is behind the
county attorney, is already gathering
more evidence to be used in obtaining
injunctions against others. Members
| OF the league and detectives, hired for
this purpose, are said to be making
| investigations with a view to ascer-
tanning who is engaged in the illegal
sales. AS fast as this evidence Is OBJ.
| tanned it will be turned over to the
county attorney, who will employ it
in obtaining temporary restraining Or
| ders.
The proceedings in temporary In
junction will, in all probability. lead
| to wholesale indictments against the
women of Whitechapel and in other
sections of the city where it has been
discovered violations of the liquor law
have been practiced.
Assessor French upon hearing OF
the action commenced 4or the girls OF
Whitechapel district assessed the
owners of the property in which these
cases are conducted with quarterly
| mulct assessments of $3.50. There
are twenty of these property holders
| in ALL
