PLEASURE CRAFT HAVE
BUSY DAY ON THE RIVER

Yesterday was an ideal day for
boating and the river was specked
with pleasure craft. There were nu-
merous gasoline launches out and the
sound of the engines could be heard
along the stream several miles both
above and below the three cities. Then
the breeze was fresh and just suf-
ficiently upstream in its tendency to
afford the best facilities for sailing
and several were engaged in that fas-
cinating sport. The Rock Island
Naval Reserves put one of their boats
in the water and during the after
noon ii was manned by a crew of
jacllieS in white uniforms. 1t was
their first time afioat this spring and
some of the oars were inclined to
mess matters up 4 bit.

Miss Fay rapidly ran over score

Nearly all business men insist upon

long-iawed man invariably drives the
public away if he associates himself
in business with round-faced man.

TO COPE WITH Ep1DEM1cs.
Iowa Board of Health Asks of tho
Legislature Full Power to Act
in Extreme Cases,

The state board of health has pro-
posed bill to confer upon it full pow
ers to take charge of local quarantine
and vaccination in such localities as
show inability to cope with epidemics
of smallpox or other contagious dis
eases. This bill was designed for the
purpose of meeting what appeared to
be a bad situation in the city of Des
Moines. 1t was represented to the
BOARD that Des Moines was making no
effort, or at least was unable to do any
thing to control smallpox, and the
board induced Attorney General Null
Ian to draft measure to give it power
to step in when local boards of health
failed to do their duty. 1t has been dis
covered, however, that the local con-
dltlons are not as serious as repre-
sented to the board, and as an army of
officers has been employed to c.1aran-
tine and an army of physicians to vac
cinate people who have been exposed,
the state board finds it unnecessary to
interfere with the local conditions.
The state board has asked allpostmas-
tiers and their assistants to be vac
cinated, and have notified the post
master general of the continuous
spread of smallpox in this state, sug-
costing to him the advisability of d.
recting the fumigation of all mail sent
out of the state. This, it is estimated,
will result in millions of dollars dam
age to the state.

CAST IRON RULE.
Mine Operators Propose to Take Ex-
treme Measures to Stop the Exc
plOsions in Shafts.

The mine operators of the state pro-
pose to stop the mine explosions which
have Mortified Iowa during the last
year or two by adopting cast-iron
rule requiring miners to cut their coal
before firing it. This is said to be the
cause of the explosions. Instead of
spending the time cutting the coal with
the pick, the miner bores hole into it
with drill by a crank and then fills
the hole with so much powder that the
resulting explosion wrecks the mine.
If rule requiring cutting of the coal
before firing is made and adhered to,
and the quantity of powder is reduced
there is no danger from explosions.
The operators having voluntarily TAX
en- this step, it is regarded as extremely
probable that the legislature will not
pass law requiring the employment
of shot firers, who are men employed
to fire shots in the mines after all the
miners have left them, thus avoiding
the danger from explosions. However,
the operators themselves have given
the miners the right to insist upon shot
AAASAs az luelI OWL expense, anu IN q
number of mines these men are now
employed. During the past week or
two several strikes of miners have been
declared off on account of the action
OF the operators in permitting them to
employ shot firers. Gov. Cummins has
appointed on the committee to investi-
gate mine explosions James E. Stout,
of Des Moines, and ]. j. Phillips, of
ottumwa, representing the operators;
j. P. Reese, of Abba, and j. E. White,
OF Oskaloosa, for the miners; and the
state mine inspectors are members ex-
officio.

CHATTANOOGA BATTLEFIELD.
Iowa Troops Mt Lookout Moun-
tain and Missionary Ridge.

In the Twenty-ffth general assem-
bly, commission was appointed to To-
cate the positions of Iowa troops on
the battlefield of Chattanooga. This
was composed of Capt. j. A. Young,
now senator from Washington county;
Col. j. D. Fegan, of Clinton; Capt. An
keny, of Corning; F. P. Sherman, of
Oakland, and Col. Miller, of Oxford.
They located the positions of the
troops, but the times were so hard
that the state did not appropriate any
money for the monuments. An appro-
priation of $4,000 is now asked for
this purpose. AS it now appears that
none of the 100000 needed by the
Vicksburg commission for monu-
ments at Vicksburg can be used during
the next ensuing biennial period, the
probability is that the $35 1000 asked for
monuments to Iowa troops at Lookout
Mountain and Missionary Ridge will
be voted

'The Iowa Oil fields are absolutely

trust" said State Geo1ogist Samuel
Calvin in Iowa City in talking of the
discoveries Of oil reported in the
state. "The samples of oil which have
come to me from all the reported
scenes of discovery, as well as the
Investigations of the circumstances
of the discovery. show THAT the Iowa
oil well owners have an advantage
possessed by no other state in the
union. Other Oil discoveries have
been usually of oil in the crude state,
requiring refining and lot of both
ersome details, involving in most
cases dependence upon the Standard
Oil company. But in Iowa the dis
coveries have been of the finest grade
of oil, all ready to put into the lamp.
The samples from Frederika, in Bre-
mer county, show the Oil to be 81 high

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Supreme Court Says That Cities Is
suing Certificates of Assessment
Are Liable for Their Payment.

The supreme court of Iowa has de-
cided that in case city authorizes pub
.ic Improvements and issues certificates
assessing abutting property therefor,
the city becomes liable for the salts
faction of the certificates of assess
ment, if it shall be shown later that
the proceedings were illegal and that
the certificates are invalid so far is the
liability of the assessed property is
concerned. This decision will have a
wide effect upon public improvements
in every city in the state. The decision
was rendered in the case of the Fort
Dodge Electric Power company versus
the city of Fort Dodge, in which it was
held that the certificates held by con-
tractors against the power company
for paving done between the tracks of
its street carline We're invalid, but that
the city instead of the.contractor must
bear the loss..
