Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, Nov. 26.-The controversy
which has been waged between the city
government and the Citizens Light and
Railway Company for several weeks
over the terms of new contract for
about to offer suggestion of great in
terest to municipalities everywhere, one
that is novel and practicable. The COM
pany has a proposition that it is ready
10 submit to the people at any time rel
alive to the light question. which has
interested the people of this city the
past few weeks. The proposition calls
for the are lights 10 be placed as out
lined in the specifications drawn up
year ago. The price is to be $50 per
lamp for O'Clock lights and S95 per
lamp for all night lights. The lights
are TO be operated from separate
plant from the regular lighting plant
of the Citizens Light and Railway
Company, and an exact account kept or
all the expenses. the amount OF light
used. the amount of coal used, and eV-
cry detail as to the expenditure OF
funds.
1t is also Included In this proposition
that the city shall hire man to be at
the plant and keep account with the
companys man as to just what is being
done, and the amounts expended. In
this way the city will know just what
the lights are costing the company for
their production and the amount of
profit to the company.
At the end of the first year the entire
business will be settled up, and the rate
for the next year established by the
data furnished by the results of the in
yestigations of the men at the plant
during the previous year. If these men
find that. after paying all expenses and
taking out a reasonable profit for the
investment that too great surplus re-
mains, then the prices will be cut down
accordingly, and the city given the
benefit of the reduction, but If this is
not the case, the price of the lights will
remain the same, and at no time Will
they be greater than the prices the
first year. $50 and sos for the two kinds
of lights. This contract is to be made
for ten years. but, of course, the price
of light each year is to be regulated ac-
cording to the cost each previous year.
Several citizens who have heard of
this new proposition, have expressed an
opinion concerning 1t. Some say that
1t would be just the thing, Ii would
practically establish a municipal plant
as far as street lighting was concerned.
they say. and the city would not make
the investment. Others state, however,
that it would put the lighting PROPOSE
ton in politics every spring, and that
on that account, If for no other, it
should not be considered. The matter
as yet has never come before the coun-
ell, and what 1t would do in the matter
is only matter of conjecture.

TO OPERATE STUB LINE.

Rapid Transit Company May Connect

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Falls, Nov. 26.-The Rapid
Transit Company is now engaged in
laying S5- pound steel rails on the road
bed between this city and Waterloo and
IL is said when completed that they will
assume the control of the Chicago
Great Western road running between
this city and Wilson Junction. This is
a stub line and is operated at great ex-
pense by the c. G. w. 1t was placed in
this shape when the road was built be-
cause the city would not offer the
proper inducements for securing the
main line.
The Rapid Transit has an agree
ment with the road for handling freight
ana passengers and as they have en-
gines heavy enough for service they
would be able to use the C. G. w. track
just as 1T is today. IL they do they will
probably build an extension from this
city to the east three miles connecting
with the Denver electric line and thus
have a level road bed for the hauling of
freight between this city and Waterloo,
as the present route is hilly and very
picturesque for passenger service, but
not practical for freight hauling.

BRAVE WOMAN AND BURGLAR.
Alone in the House She Finds Burg
lar and Chases Him Out at Point Of

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, Nov. 26-Awakened from
her slumber at midnight Monday night,
Mrs. Emma Heinzle, of 217 Eagle Point
avenue, hastily arose from her bed and
upon going into another room was
startled to find man confronting her
WHO are you ans what do you
want?' said the woman.
20, just came in to show you I am
not afraid of your dog" answered the
woman.
Get out of this house instantly or
will kill YOU" said the plucky wom-
an as she ran into her bedroom for a
revolver The midnight prowler took
the woman at her word and made q
dash for the stairway. Just as he was
leaving the, room Mrs. Heinzle cams
out of the bedroom with revolver in
her hand. She pointed the weapon at
the retreating form and pulled the
trigger but there was no report. In
her haste she had got hold of an un-
loaded revolver.
AS soon as she discovered her mis-
take the woman ran back to her bed
room again and this time got the
loaded revolver. By this time the
burglar had reached the foot of the
stairway. He was just closing the door
behind him when Mrs. Heinzle ap-
peared at the head Of the stairs. The
woman could have fired but she rec
ognized the uselessness of such a pro-
ceeding. Instead she hurried into a
room facing the street and opening a
window looked out with the cooked
revolver in her hand.
Owing to the darkness the woman
was unable to see the retreating burg
lar and her opportunity Of firing at him
was lost. She did the next best
thing in firing two shots in the air An
officer and several neighbors were at :
tracted to the house by shots. Upon
their arrival there Mrs Heinzle was
, calm and collected. She did not show
the slightest symptoms of nervousness
after her exciting experience.
An examination of the house devel-
oped the fact that in his hurry to get
away from the irate woman's revolver
the burglars hat had fallen off in the
hall and he did not stop to pick it up.
The hat was turned over to the police
department and may furnish clue to
the burglar.
| Mrs. Heinzle is the wife of Frank
Heinzle, a travelling agent She was
alone in the house at the time of the
appearance Of the burglar She is re-
ceiving the congratulations of friends
on her bravery and presence Of mind.

RID OF SLOT MACHINES.
Davenport Clears Away Many lniqui.
tous Gambling Devices.

Davenport, Nov. 26.-There has been
a tumult in the saloons, cigar stores
and many other institutions of like
nature this week. The cause has been
a certain little order that was issued to
the effect that all machines wherein
the reward for the chance was money
must go. So the order has come at
last and Davenport is TO be rid of one
of the most baneful nuisances of the
big hold up scheme that was ever prac-
ticed on the public.
That the order would be coming be-
fore long was expected, for the people
had become so tired of these gambling
machines that general murmur was
being raised all over the city at their
presence and several prominent men
had said they were going to bring the
matter before the public SO that atten-
ton would be called to it.
The slot machines are the worst form
of gambling and their influence Is
worse than any card game that could
be running. The worst feature of the
slot machine, however, is that they
make professional gamblers of more
people than any one thing. They stand
in nearly every cigar store and in most
restaurants and they are where the
small boy and the man who comes in
to buy cigar can play them at any
moment 1t is to the lads from ii to
90 years old that the machines are es-
.pecially attractive, and in many places
children from IL to IA years of age
have been known to play away their
nickels as fast as they could get them.
The Slaby suicide that occurred in
the west end was directly traceable to
these very slot machines, and many an
other incident that would shock the
public could also be discovered In which
these iron devices were responsible, or
rather the people who allowed their
use.
They are gone now, however, or are
rather going, for their owners have
been given a day to remove them and
by today they are supposed TO be out of
sight and out of use. May they stay
there a good long while.

Rock Rapids, Nov. 26.-The death Of
William Gillian, who was supposed to
have committed suicide, his body hay
ing been found in hog pen on
Eeighboring farm, is now believed to
have been the result Of murder. Word
comes from Sioux Falls, s. D., via Sioux
City, that two women have been ar
rested for the crime.
From the time Gillian got a lunch at
o restaurant no one has yet been found
who saw him alive. How he found his
way from there to where he was found
and what became of his money are the
questions puzzling the jury. He had
bought Iaudanum, and the empty bottle
was found. but as death apparently was
caused by the fractured skull the jury
is endeavoring to connect these facts.
He had some trouble with parties here,
and two or three fights resulted.
An investigation conducted by Sher-
if Isaac WOODBURY. has revealed that
Gilliam's head was split open and that
he was horribly mutilated in a manner
which could not have been the work OF
himself.
The night before he was hund dead
ii has been ascertained he was inquir-
ing for two women, one of whom lives
at Rock Rapids and the other at Gran
lite. When Gilliam's body was found
these women, who are sisters, had dis
appeared. They have now been

located and arrested and efforts ale
being made to secure confession from
them. When last seen Gillian had
sum of money, none of which was

Special TO Times Republican.
Ackley, Noy. 26.-The annual Teach
ers' Association of the four counties of
Franklin, Butler, Grundy and Hardin
was largely attended, and the program,
as printed, was carried out with but few
changes.
The address by DR.. Mccormick, of
Coe College, was replete with good,
practical thought. That of DR.. Mclean
of the State University was scholarly
and masterful. The point that he es-
pecially emphasized is the influences
exerted upon each one by means of
strong personalities. Therefore, he said,
one could not become educated by cor
respondence courses alone, but must
seek live teachers of strong personal
influence.
Professor Styles, of New Providence,
gave an excellent address on the Dig
nifty of citizenship" The short speech
by DR.. Brown, of Iowa City, was one of
the best things given. He strongly adj
vocated having good men teachers in
the eighth and high school grades for
the sake of the boys. The papers pre-
sented were excellent. The music all
thru was of a high order of excellence.
Those in attendance felt well repaid for
being present.
