The C01111n0ner
(Mr. Bryan's Paper

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue
circulation of 100, 900 copies, q rec
ord probably never equaled in the his
tory of American periodical literature.
The unparalleled growth of this paper
demonstrates that there is room in the
newspaper field for a national paper
devoted to the discussion of political.
economic and social problems. To
the columns of The Commoner Mr..
Bryan contributes his best efforts;
and his review Of political events as
they arise from time to time can not
fail to interest those who study public
questions.
The Commoner's regular subscrip-
tion price is S1.00 per year. We have
arranged with Mr.. Br. an whereby we
can furnish his paper and the WILL
MAR TRIBUNE together for one year
for $t.7o. The regular subscription
price of the two papers when subscribed
for separately is $500.

spoke Of the word talented as follows:
Il regret to see that vile and. barba-
rous vocable talented stealing out Of
the newspapers into the leading re-
views and most respectable publica-
lions Of today. Why not 'shillinged,'
farthtnged, 'tenpenced,' ETC.? The
formation Of participle passive from
q noun Is license which nothing but
q very peculiar felicity can excuse. II

Long Courtships In Norway.

AIVA0 OVOGNbAAUD x"Ays
Norwegian weddings are almost al
ways celebrated at the close of a short
Scandinavian summer, q season which
the Industrious Norsemen find too short
In which to work and from which they
would never dream of taking the days
that are necessary for the long drawn
out festivities of the Morse wedding.
So the maidens who are wooed all the
year round are usually welded at the

Ing. On summer Sundays the lanes,
the highways and byways are ateem

slowly along, not in the least shy, his
arm about her shoulders, her arm about
his waist. Nor do they untwine their
arms If they pause little to chat with
friends, not even If they stop to speak
with casual acquaintancae. Ten or a
dozen years often elapse between the
first day Of courtship and the day Of
marriage, while seven years betroth-
al is considered of very moderate
length.-Woman's Home Companion.

Fable of the Babblinr Brook.

Fable of the BabblinE Brook.
Once upon time fish in search Of
adventure came to the broad mouth of
4 brook which emptied itself into a
great river. He turned into the smaller
stream, ascended Its current and lis
tened to its constant babbling as he
went leisurely along.
As he proceeded he noticed that the
brook became very much narrower and
shallower. Yet It kept up its babbling
just the same. Finally he reached its
head and found it to be very insig-
nificant.
Brook" said the fish, ''never in my
life before have l seen such a large
mouth and heard so much babbling
with so little head behind it."

by the mouth.-New York Herald.

NEW ROCK ISLAND ROAD.
Mil Connect Rockwell City With
Marenqo.

Rockwell City, Jan. 27.-Local railway
circles are considerably interested in the
late proposition of the Rock Island to
extend its lire from Fraser to Marengo
1t is understood the plan is complete
and that the work of constructing the
rev line will be commenced at once.
The new line has been completed from
Rockwell City to Fraser, Boone county.
From there the road will take an east
ern route, passing thru Story county at
or near Nevada, and cross the North
western at this point. The Great West
ern will probably be crossed at Baxter,
and from there the new line will be laid
directly east passing thru Jasper and
Poweshiek counties and connecting with
the main line of the Rock Island at
Marengo. The distance from Rockwell
City to Marengo is about $50 miles. 1t
is the purpose of the Rock Island to cut
off about fifty miles in their line from
Rockwell City. as 1t is now. east. The
freight traffic and especially the con-
signments of coal from northern and
central Iowa points is growing to such
an extent as to justify close connections
for east bound freight. The project has
been under consideration in the general
headquarters of the Rock Island for
some time. but until recently has not
been made known among railway men.

WILL PAY RURAL CARRIERS.
Postoffice at Des Moines Selected as
Discussing Station for Rural Car

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 27-The Des Moines
postofiice has just been designated by
the treasury department as the office
thru whuch all rural mail delivery car
riers in Iowa will be paid. The arrange
ments We're perfected during the past
few days by a deputy auditor of the
treasury department who visited the
state to make the selection of one of the
postofiices for this purpose. This plan
will admit of earlier payments to the
carriers and avoid any delay in their
receiving their monthly stipends. The
first payment will be made for January
and will amount to s2s,01S. On the basis
of the number of carriers now employed
in this service the office will pay out
100000 to mail carriers during the cur
rent year. But as new routes are being
established in every portion of the state,
commencing the first of each month, it
is confidently expected the amount will
be increased to over 100000 by the end
of the year, and to about s75O,000 by the
time the work of establishing the serv-
ice is completed

Prospect in jackson County.

Special to Times Republican.
Maquoketa, Jan. 25.-The Sylvan Min
ing Company is the title of a recently
organized syndicate in Jackson county
to develop an iron mine near LaMott
The prospect that is to enrich the
owners is a vein of iron ore two feet
thick and four feet high, and running
east and west. The vein is diamond
shaped and is surrounded by ochre.
The vein is now being laid bare and
fifty foot opening runs into the side of
the hill An experienced miner has been
at work some time developing the find.
Samples had been forwarded to Pitts
