There, with the tempest bowling

An Ant, going to a river to drink, fell in, and was carried along
in the stream.
A Dove, observing the accident, and plying her condition, threw
into the river a small bough, which she hastily plucked from a friendly
tree growing bv the brink Of the stream, and by means of which the
Ant gained the shore.
The Ant, upon another occasion, seeing a hunter with his fowling
piece aiming at the Dove, who had rendered her such timely service,
sung the mar in the foot sharply, and made hm miss his aim, and so
saved the Doves life.

himself all in and come home to man.

he hadn't been worse afraid of the JOSH
ing Of you fellows than of the blistered
paws. Speaking Of blistered paws, it's
no joke. Before night the first day I
had puffs all ove my hands, and that
night the fat dame of the household
stuck needles into 'em, and tapped me
until l raj water like q hydrant. But
the old boy wat good to me, and for
two days he kept me choring around,
hauling water, helping the fat dame
cook and playing the baby generally.
Then I tackled the header boxes again
for ten days straight and l really got to
liking 1t. But say, Willie, don't you be-
lieve that story about a shortage in the
worlds bread crop. I know better,
for I pitched enough of the blamed stuff
to make two crops of worlds bread
stuff.
"And, Willie. there's another thing
you can %disabuse your fostering intel
lect of. You can't spoon with these
country girls with the joyous freedom
that you read about. We have a roly-
poly girl here who doesn't wear corsets
and who don't care how much sock she
displays when she kicks at the cat. l
kissed her the other night. l won't do
1t any more. If l want exercise of a zap

every word of it.

WOOL GROWERS FILE PROTEST
Raise I'm Rate on Wool Hits the
western F1ockmasters
Hard.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 22.-(Speclal) }
The wool growers Of Wyoming are up in
arms as a result Of the announcement that
the railroads have raised the rates on wool
shipments from 81 to S2.1sh. A meeting
has been called to discuss the matter. The
railroads say that the raise was necessi-
tated by the advance by eastern roads OF
their pro rata from 441k cents to So cents.
Two years ago the rate was from 81. 80 to
$3.50.
Prominent wool growers say that they
railroads insist on the charge 1t will prac-
tically ruin many flockmasters, or those
that have sustained heavy losses during
the winter storms. Wool growers in the
western and southwestern portions of the
state are leading the movement of pro-
test against the increased rate, and in
all probability a Joint conference will be
hell with growers from Utah and Idaho
and a committee appointed to wait upon the
railroads with request that the old rate
at least be restored.
Some growers say that even in the event
the old rate is restored many 1ockmasters
will not realize a profit unless, of course,
wool increases considerably in price.
1t is estimated that Wyoming will this
year produce at least 35 000, 900 pounds Of
WOOL and in the event the railroads do
ers of this state alone will be called upon
to put up $4,000 more to move their wool
to market than was required last year.

Chief Davenport from Chicago where the
$500 was spent in fast and riotous living
With him was Camille Polling, an inmate
OF a Sioux City resort. who assisted Refen-
bury in doing the town. Refenbury is
charged with stealing a whole laundry. He
had been placed in charge Of a Yankton
laundry by L. NJ. Woodward, for whom he
sold the concern. Instead OF handing over
the money, it is alleged, he came to Sioux
City, and. taking the Polling girl with him,
went to Chicago He was there Just one
day when arrested by the Sioux City chief
who went after him. OF the $3.50 he took
with him he had just $3.50 left. He ex-
plained that the money had been spent in
seeing the town. He didn't remember
much about the details. He did remember
the hack cost s25 and then his memory
became confused in the recollection Of
champagne and other items OF expense. He
was formerly connected with Des Moines
laundry and worked here for Nolen q

OPPOSED TO Two EXCHANGES
Mayor Morgan aud at Least Two Council
men So Declare Themselves
DESIRE OUTSIDE PHONE CONNECTION
Indications that City Council VIII
Favor Granting a Franchise to
the Company Headed by
DIR. Macrae.

Mayor Morgan and several Of the alder
opposed to two telephone exchanges in
this city and are not in favor of giving
any Independent company a franchise, which
would put the people to the expense Of
maintaining two separate phones. They
are Of the opinion that the desired con-
nection with the Independent telephone
companies now operating in this section Of
the state can be obtained under the prop
osition Of the Western Iowa Independent
Telephone, Telegraph and Terminal COM
pany, organized by DR.. Macrae and his
associates.
Under certain restrictions several Of the
aldermen have said they would be willing
TO grant this company franchise, but that
they are opposed to having two exchanges
in the city. Under the plan proposed by
DR.. Macraes company, persons desiring
connection with any OF the independent
companies in this section OF the state can
obtain the same without necessarily having
one OF the companys phones in their
place Of business or residence. The COM
pany will maintain a central station and a
number Of public toll stations throughout
the city. They will also place phones in
a number Of the banks, Wholesale and
jobbing houses No rental will be asked
for these phones, the company expecting
20 make It's revenue from the tolls.
Any firm or individual having much bust
ness in the country districts can have one
OF the company's phones placed in his
residence or place Of business without cost,
but the average citizen, who probably would
not have need to use the Independent
phone connection but a few times in tho
year or month. can, when he seeks such
connection, use any one OF the toll sta
tions, thus obviating the necessity OF main
tanning two phones in his house, store or
Office
The proposition OF the Council Bluffs
Independent Telephone company, organized
by H. II. Van Brunt, Emmett Tinley and
others, is entirely different and contem-
plates a complicated system.
While 1t is generally conceded that con-
nection between Council Bluffs and the
independent telephone companies in thIs
section Of the state is desirable, many citi-
zens are opposed to the proposition Of hav-
ing two separate telephone companies in
the CITY, Mayor Morgan and several of the
aldermen are among this number.
The council will meet tonight and is ex-
pected to take some action in the matter.

CHEYENNE, wyo.. March 22.-Cspeclal.) }
The snow blockade was in effect all day
yesterday on the Cheyenne & Northern
branch of the Colorado & Southern. All
cuts between Cheyenne and Glendo we're
filled with snow that was packed so hard
that In places It resisted the efforts of the
big rotary plow. A high wind prevailed
throughout the day and the cuts were
filled with fresh snow almost as fast as
the track was cleared by the plows. The
rotary which was sent out at daylight to
open the road, broke down few miles from
town and necessitated a long delay wait
ing for repairs. One passenger train was
tied up at Wheatland and was not released
until today. sit e. ts&r '.-
A train arrived from the east at noon
over the Burlington, the first in three
days. The trainmen report that deep
drifts were encountered between Sterling,

DISCHARGE RAILROAD CLERKS
Action Claimed 20 BE Taken Because
They Were Members of the
Union.

During the last two weeks nine clerks
employed in the Union Pacific freight Office
at the transfer depot have been given their
walking papers and replaced by other men.
Several others, It is said, are on the slate
TO get their discharge before long as subs
are now working with them with a view, It
is claimed, to step into their places as
soon as they become competent.
The discharge OF the men is said to be
due to the fact that they recently Joined
the Railway Clerks union. The discharged
men have received assurances Of help II
they need 1t, from other railroad organiza-
tions and talk around the transfer depot
indicates that trouble is brewing.
The clerks in the employ of the other
railroads in Council Bluffs are members
Of the Railroad Clerks union and, as far
as they have learned, their employers have
raised no objection.

STEEL TRUST REACHES OUT

EIGHTY MILLION SAID TO Be AsKEL

Probably Agree to Purchase
Jones q LauEhlin Interests
for Combine.

PrTTSBURG, Pa, March 22.-The chic,
cause Of Charles M. Schwab's visit to Pitts
burg is said to be in furtherance of the ne
gotiations for the mills. furnaces, coal and
ore lands of the Jones & Laughlin Steel
company.
1t is reported that Mr.. Schwab was to
make a personal inspection OF the local
plants Of the company but in any case he
will secure from experts an excellent idea
Of the value of the machinery.
Tentative proposals TO buy out the Jones
q Laughlin interests were made before
the Union Steel company was aquired by
the trust, but the Jones a LaughIin COM
pany was averse to disposing Aof Its plants.
Later 1t became known that II might sell
IL 1t got it's price, said to be approximately
$50, 600, 900.
The hitch in the negotiations is not so
much over a question of value as over tha
method Of payment in case the corporation
bought out the company. The trust desired
to take over the Jones & Laughlin COM
pany In return for bonds. but the company
demanded the greater part in cash.
