Captious folks note the current report
that Mrs. Roosevelt has equipped herself
with eight new white gowns for the
opening Of the social season at the capt.

with the statement attributed to Mrs.

should be able to dress on $500 a year.
But it must not be forgotten that the
authenticity Of the $500 a year story
was denied not long after it appeared.

There isn't any American invasion of
Canada. The Canadians are inviting
Americans in, and some Americans are
accepting the invitation. What happened
in Britain, after the Britons had invited
the Saxons, and what happened in Texas
after Americans had settled Texas, are
matters of history. Will Canada eventu-
ally become part of the republic? Who
can pierce the mystery of the future?
But if Canada is ever Joined to the Unit
ed States it will be good thing for the
Canadians-for all the Canadians-those
who invited the Americans as we'll as
the Americans who were invited and &C.
cepted the invitation. That would be
consummation which would put an end
to disputes concerning the Alaska bound
airy.

Herbert Spencer, philosopher as he is,
has always claimed the right to change
his mind. Once he was vegetarian.
That, perhaps, was in his salad days.
Now he facetiously dubs vegetarians
1.-The devotees of the truck garden In a
recent interview, referring to the time
when personal experience had convinced
him that vegetarianism is a fallacy, he
said: Il went over all that had writ
ten during the year I practiced vegeta-
riansm, and consigned it to the fire."
Vegetable diet is not to be despised, but
because a man eats vegetables is no rea-
son why he should not also eat meat
if he can get it.

further investigate. take measure
iments. and pick out the best place
to dam the creek.
Upon arriving at the creek # was
lascertained that # would cost a great
deal Of money 10 build a dam.
W p Poland suggested that he
would show them a place where they
lcou.d dam the same creek. and could
do 50 at a very small cost. because OF
the short distance they would have
TO dam IL.
Upon reaching the spot indicated
by Mr. Poland the entire party ex.
claimed their approval It was sim
ply a gap between two high divides.
and would require a dam Of not more
than $50 feet long TO give about ten
or twelve square miles OF watershed
and a lake Of over 200 acres. at an
average depth Of thirty feet.
The dam would have to be about
fifty feet high, and a great deal OF
the water would be from forty to fifty
feet deep.
It was estimated that the dan
could be built for about $1,000. and
Mr. Poland said that It was just foul
miles from town.
City Engineer Hugh Johnson was
seen this morning, and said that
by putting In a 16-lnch pipe for two
miles he could bring the water to ths
hill just beyond Judge walcott
place, and the pipe can be put in for
about $1,000 per mile.
On top Of this hill. which IS even
higher than Hsrgrovo Heights, a
stand-pipe $50 feet high can be 10
Gated
Assuming that this scheme would
be carried out. the water pressure OF
Main street, at the Wilmington hotel
would be about 100 pounds 10 the
square inch. which would be suf
fcient to throw water over a four
story building, from the plug. with
out the aid of an engine. Hose cart.
would be all that we would need.
Mr.. Johnson went out this morning
to make minute observations of the
situation, and will give us an estl
mate of what the thing will cost, a.

PROHIBITION CONFERENCE.
Work for 1908 outlired-Next conven-
ton at MarshaIItown.

tion at Marshalltown.
Des Moines, Dec. 31.-A conference of
twenty five leading Lrohibitionists of
the state, including the members of the
state central committee and other act
i've workers, was held in the office of
the Commonwealth company in the
Youngerman building yesterday: and
plans We're perfected for the coming
years campaign.
The primary object of the conference
was to agree on a system of organiza-
ton for the state. An unders landing
was arrived at and thruout 1903 the
work of organization will be pressed
everywhere In Iowa. The conference
concluded to do all possible in the way
of forming prohibition alliances, as sug-
gested by National Chairman Stewart.
This plan consists in brief in the for
nation of local clubs. Funds subscribed
to these local clubs go for national,
state and local work, and the plan is III
fact a huge system of organized finan-
ciaI effort for the good of the prohibl-
ton cause, national state and local.
In connection with this was the adop-
ton of a plan suggested by State Chair
man Malcolm Smith. of Cedar Rapids.
Mr.. Smith suggested some months ago
that II was feasible to raise a state fund
Of $4,000 by setting 1000 persons to
contribute SIS each, The coySerence en-
dorsed the splan, and strong effort vii:
be made to carry II out. The organizers
who will be placed in each congress
sional district will undertake the rais-
ing Of this fund, and will take iysdiyid-
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1902-12-31

ual pledges from the friends of the
cause in each district.
The state central committee has been
urged to place an organizer In each
congressional district CT Iowa, and it
will do so. Four of the organizers have
already been selected and assigned to
their respective districts. F. F.. Mat
lock will have the First district; A. j.
MeColl, the Seventh: Rev. ]. N. Hosier,
the Eighth; and Rev. T. u. Crozier, the
Eleventh.
One of the subjects discussed was the
next state convention. 1t was suggested
and the suggestion seemed to be gener-
ally approved that the convention be
called for the latter part of May. 1t is
probable Marshalltown wpl be the place
OF holding the convention. If Marshall
town is not chosen. Des Moines will
probably be the location. &

ON TRIAL I'm LONDON
George Chapman, an American. Ac-
cused of Numbering Three Women in

London, Dec. s1.-George Chapman,
whose preliminary trial is still going
on at police court here, was today ar
raigned on the additional charges of
numbering his first and second wives.
autopsy on whose exhumed remains
indicated they had been poisoned. The
prisoner has applied to Consul General
Evans for protection. Chapman came
to London from America In 1893. He
was arraigned at the police court Oct.
% last, charged with having poisoned a
young woman, reputed to be his wife.
The public prosecutor identified the
prisoner as Severino Browsky, native
of Warsaw, Russian Poland, where he
at one time combined the callings of q
Doctors assistant and a barber.

must conform to it. They had sup
posed the policy they were using was In
accordance with Iowa law and when
they found 1t out they came back hard
on the law firm that had imposed 1T on
them. The first time the firm had a
chance to return the compliment was
when these examinations were COM
menced. Thus the matter appears
largely in the shape of a personal
quarrel between state officer and a
judge of the courts.
The firm of McVeys wrote letters to
the insurance companies soliciting
business in the form of suits to re-
cover from the state auditor the fees
paid. In one of these letters the COM
pany is assured that "in confidence we
beg to say that we have been in con-
sultation several times with the gov
ernor and secretary of state and the
matter has been brought up by them
with the attorney general, and that
1--WE may say that cur action has the
hearty approval of the administration
and the incoming auditor who takes
his seat the first of the year 1t is suf-
ficient to say that the, state officers
referred to deny that Judge McVey has
been acting for them in any way or
that they have undertaken the inyes-
tigation with reference to the fees
which the McVeys expect to get out of
1T. AS for the new state auditor, 1t is
known that he enters his office entirely
without prejudice In the matter and
that he has not concerned himself in
the least with the trouble.
