every case. The fast stock trains now
run on slower time, and shippers must
have their stock on the cars much
earlier than formerly. The time of
freight hauling from the eastern job
bling and manufacturing centers into
Iowa has been appreciably heightened
so that dealers must now allow u day

Ames. Feb. 4.-Several minor changes
have been made in the course of study
at the Iowa State College this term. In
the division of economic science the old
five-hour course in history of political
economy has been reduced to two
hour study and new three hour course
III finance has been added. In domestic
science two hours post work in sewing
has been added as we'll as some new
features to the two-year teachers
course. A two-hour course in live
stock management is HOW offered by the
animal husbandry neople and some of
the crowded conditions in agricultural
chemistry have been relieved by por-
ton of their students in beginning
chemistry taking their work under the
department of general chemistry. The
course in the historical development of
the nineteenth century. which was Civ
en- as an elective to the engineers last
fall, has been extended to accommodate
both the old and new students. The
art courses, which were instituted
year ago, have expanded, and altho now
taken only by students of domestic sci
ence it is soon hoped to incorporate 1t
as an elective in the general science
course.

Extra Men Now Carried on Many

Extra Men Now Carried on Many
Trains to Fight Robbers.
Boone, Feb. 4.-In view of the many
recent train robberies and hold-ups all
over the country the railroad express
companies have begun to take means
to protect themselves against the hold
up men. Heavily armed guards have
been placed in many of the express
cars, especially on the nigh. runs.
This action on the part of the ex-
press companies is the direct result of
the many train robberies that have Ia
ken place recently. The guards have
been installed quietly and every posi-
BILE precaution has been made against
publicity. In fact, many of the railroad
men themselves, and those connected
with the express companies, are ignor-
ant of the fact, and, according to the
columns of the Nonpareil, a number Of
Council Bluffs men OF the required
qualifications have already been Sc
lected as express car guards and are
now making regular runs with the mes
sengers.
The United States Express Company
carries a guard in each express car
during the night and every Rock ISL
and train has at least two we'll armed
men on board. One Of these is the reg
ular express messenger, who carries a
Winchester, as well as a revolver, and
the other man acts simply in the capa-
city of guard and is secreted in the
car 1t is reported that other armed
men are scattered about the coaches
and are prepared for any emergency.

looked upon by the express companies

done in the name of economy, for the
railroad managers say that they have
figured it all out and that they know
that there has been vast waste of
money and energy and machinery in
the fierce fight for business gained by
running freight trains at express and
mail train speed both ways across the
country. The railroad men and mana
gers declare that they will econcmize
here and make better profits. Some of
the jobbers and shippers feel that it is
an injustice to them and that the cry
of economy is only a subterfuge but
they have no remedy at hand. 1t is
currently believed here that RESPONSE
bility for the change rests with James
j. Hill, as it was the Burlington rail-
road which took the initiative in this
part of the state in the change of time
cards on the trains.

western Felt Shoe company of this

time the factory underwent extensive
repairs. A dozen new machines We're
added and the capacity of the plant
doubled, making its output now aver
age 1000 pairs of felt shoes and slip

sidered exceedingly good owing to the
fact that the factory has been in oper-
alton only since last June, at which
time it was organized by local capital
lists, who sent for George McKown of

tory to take charge of the Webster

creased to 100000. The output Of the

Waterloo. Feb. 4.---ReY.- John A. Earl,
Ierstwhile prohibition candidate for
congress in the Third district, Is oppos-
ing the movement OF the Anti Saloon
League for the holding of Anti Saloon
League meetings in ali of the churches
os the city on a certsin Sunday. Rev.
Earl is one of the members of the Min.
isterial Union of the city and has much
Influence in the deliberations Of that
body. A few weeks ago when the union
met it received communication from
Mr.. Malone, assistant secretary Of the
Anti-Saloon League, asking that the
body designate an anti-saloon Sunday.
The matter was opposed by Mr.. Earl
and defeated. But it was not allowed to
rest there. Again at the meeting Of tho
union Monday it was brought up and q
favorable report on the request was
made from the committee. Mr.. Earl
moved to table the report, and after q
warm debate found lis motion lost. The
question was then put and carried by q
vote of to s., but it was stated that
three of the ministers. one of whom is
known to be opposed to the Sunday
league meeting, failed to vote. On such
a close margin and because Of the wide
ly divergent views Of the pastors on the
question it was decided to postpone the
whole question again. In an interview
Mr.. Earl declared his belief in the pro-
hibition party as the only absolute tenn
perance organization with something
back of 1t, which would be effective in
handling and doing away with the sa-
loon. He said the Anti-Saloon League
