ENVELOPES, DIES AND ADpaEsssR

/
iineator The envelope should match
the paper used and be of such size
that one folding only is necessary.
There is a variety of novel shades III
both paper and envelopes that have re-
ceived the stamp Of approval, and,
! while creamy white is perhaps given
the preference, many choose pale blue.
gray or pink. Violet in delicate tone
also correct.
Originality in these papers is achiev-
ed In the shape of the sheet and envei-
ope. Both square and oblong envel
opes are used, and the flap may be tn
some fancy shape. A decided novelty
Is very thin white envelope lined
with colored tissue paper.
Royal Irish linen and bond papers
are perhaps the finest grades, though
imperial vellum In glace or kid finish is
preferred by many. Pongee bond and
linen lawn papers are smart and are
shown In the daintiest OF tints and In
cream white as well. Those who pre-
fer thin paper will appreciate the
Egyptian linen.
The address die stamps the paper at
the center near the top of the first
page, but when a crest is used the ad-
dress is written at the right hand, ex-
cept for note. when it is given at the
end line above the date.

The robbery occurred on Sixth

WAS DOUBLE MILEAGE
Waterloo & Cedar Falls Line
Assessed at Twice It's Act
ual Mileage
ERROR IN THE CENSUS REPORT
Refusal of Company to Make Report to
Executive Council Led to Assessment
According to Census, Where the Mile
age Was Given as Forty Miles In
stead of Nineteen.

Des Moines, Aug. 15.-It has come
terloo & Cedar Falls Electric Railway
company makes to the assessment of
its property by the state executive
council is that the council assessed for
ty miles at $4,000 a mile against the
company. whereas 1t has but nineteen
miles. Its injunction proceedings, which
were Ineffective because belated were
brought Oh the ground that the coun-
Gil had exceeded its authority in as
sessing its city lines as interurban pro-
perties. when they really are street car
properties and assessable locally. But
sessng against it twenty-one miles of
road which the company does not pos
sess.
This came about in a curious and In
teresting way. The company is said
TO have filed its reports as an interur-
ban in good season with the secretary
of the council. 1t then took down the
report 1t had filed on the ground that
1t wished to make some clerical cor
rections. After that the secretary of the
council kept vainfy reiterating requests
for its return or the filing of a new re-
port. When 1t came time to assess the
interurbans the situation was presented
to the council. That body looked up a
government census bulletin which
credited the company with forty miles
Secretary Dawson was directed to cer-
tify an assessment against the COM
any at $4,000 mile for forty miles
This he did.
Then the injunctions began to fly.
It is said that if the theory of the coun-
Gil that the whole line should be as
sessed as an interurban be accepted
it will raise the taxes of the company
from something like $500 a year to
about $500. 1t is assumed, of course
that the courts will grant the company
relief to the extent of reducing the
mileage to the actual miles owned.

FORTUNES FOR TWO.
The Way Russell Sage Paid Doc
tor who Refused a Fee.

| A former Baltimorean who was a
close friend of Philadelphia physician
| whose specially was kidney diseases
relates the following as the method by
| which RUSSELL Sage paid the doctor u
bill:
The physician was on a visit to a
friend in New York. Mr.. Sage was
very i'll at his home from a diseased
kidney. Hearing that the Philadelphia
doctor was In New York, Mr.. Sage re-
luested him to call The doctor did SO,
and within ten days Mr. Sage was a
well man. A check, signed by Mr..
Sage, with the amount left blank, was
handed the doctor, who declined it,
stating that he could not break his in
violable rule Of contining his practice
strictly to Office work. Whom he visit
ad people who were too poor or physic-
ally unable 70 get to his Office he never
accepted pay for his services.
During his visits to Mr.. Sage's home
the doctor was accompanied by his
daughter, winsome miss OF ten years.
About u month after the occurrence the
Doctors little daughter received a tele-
gram from Wall street broker which
read: "By order Of Mr. Russell Sage, l
have bought for your account
shares OF - stock" AS soon as the
doctor read the dispatch he hurried to
Philadelphia friend, who was a bro
ker, and ordered him to buy shares
of the stock mentioned for his Che doc
tors account The stock ductuated.
and when it was selling at a price
which would pay 4 good profit the
broker advised the doctor to sell, but
the doctor did not take the advice.
Later Il dispatch came from the New
York broker to the little girl. 1t read:

unloaded his holdings. These transac-
tons were repeated several times and
not only made the doctor small for
tune, but won for him u reputation as

Special to Times Republican.
keohuk. Aug. 15.-In the district
court here d petition has been filed by
Mrs. Lorene Diver against tie city OF
keokuk. the keokuk Construction com
pany, E. p. McManus, George S. Tuckc,
and the Keokuk Savings bank. 1t is q
suit to contest the payment of SS336C
as a special assessment for paving in
front OF the plaintiffs property.
Among the statements made in the
petition. one is that at the time the
city OF Keokuk entered into the con-
tract for the paving and other work by
the keoknk Construction company,
George S. Tucker was an alderman OF
the city of keokuk and also member
ef the Keokuk Construction company,
which. the petitioner contends, is in
violation of law. The petition further
claims that no special benefits accrued
to the property by reason Of improve
ment.
Another contention Is that the city
exceeded Its authority in requiring the
contractor to keep the street in repair
for one year from the compilation Of the
work, and by so doing added an addi-
tional burden 10 the property owner:
said repairs should. In law. be paid out
of the general fund OF the city.
1t Is also charged In the petition that
the contractor was required 10 employ
In the construction OF the work only
citizens of Keokuk, which makes the
contract void on the grounds of public
policy and Is in restraint OF trade.
An injunction is asked restraining
and enjoining defendants from in any
wise attempting to collect such tax and
declaring the special tax certificate Is
sued by the city of Keokuk to be worth
less, null and void

Where Did II Go9

Where did yesterdays sunset so
When 1t faded down the hills so slow
And the gold grew dim and the purpl
light.
Like an army with banners passed from
sight?
Will Its flush so into the goldenrod,
Its thrill to the purple uster's nod,
Its crimson feck the maple bough
And the autumn glory begin from now?
Deeper than flower fields sank the glow
OF the silent pageant passing slow.
1t flushed all night in many dream;
1t thrilled in the folding hush of prayer:
1t glided into poets song:
1t is setting still in picture rare.
1t changed by the miracle none can see
To the shifting lights OF symphony.
And in resurrections OF faith and hope
The glory died on the shining slope.
For 1t left its light on the hills and seas
That rim thousand memories.
