about 20 per cent of the total capitalization. and
with orders on the books the greatest ever known.
with great economies in of production and
operation and with still further progress to be
made through the vast Improvement scheme which
calls for 100000 TO he spent this year there is
no why net earnings should show good
increases for the next three quarters. Higher

pursuit is no other than a most tan
gible delusion and an infallible snare"

Prince Cupid of Hawaii, who was
elected a representative in the last
election, will very likely wait until he
can draw his big mileage before he
will come to visit congress. He will
not only be one of the best educated,
but one of the most widely Travelled re-
publicans in the next house. Physi-
cally he is a giant, but also said to be
modest and gentlemanly, as prince
of royal blood should be. Not many
many months ago he returned from
very extended tour around the world,
lasting two years, during which he had
some rather startling experiences. OF
dark skin, but not even remotely con-
nected with the African race, he re-
sents any intimation that he is me-
gro. At Montreal he entered the bar
Der shop of fashionable hotel and
seated himself in chair Some one
wants to see you outside" exclaimed
another barber, rushing up to him.
The prince stepped outside and was
informed that that barber shop did
not shave negroes. The unfortunate
barber who vouchsafed the informa-
ton spent the next week in the hospi-
tai. While the prince was in Heidel-
berg he entered a public room where
a number of German students were
drinking and chatting loudly. Some
of them remarked, in their own Ian
guage of course, that they didn't like
to have a damned niger around"
The prince was educated in England
and understands German perfectly. A
fight of large proportions ensued, with
the result that the prince, as reported,
cleaned out the students and every
body else who resisted, including wait
ers and proprietors. After it was all
over and he had become master of the
situation he footed total of $500 for
broken furniture. However, the
prince is farthest from the type of pu-
gilist. Those who know him believe
that he will command the respect of
men in public life and work diligently
for the good of his island.

CHANGE in TIME CARD.
Milwaukee Day Trains to Arrive Here
Two Hours Later.

Beginning January /, both the day
trains on the Milwaukee will arrive in
this city two hours later than at pres
ent. This will bring the morning
train. No. 8, which now arrives here
at 1910 o'clock, at 1910 p. m. and
will change the time of the arrival of
the evening train from 5:25 o'clock
to 1925 o'clock. This change was
made necessary by the new card
which goes into effect on the main line
of the road from Chicago to Omaha.
The change of the morning train will
meet with the approval of the travel
ing public as it will bring the train
out of Cedar Rapids at S:45 a. m., in
stead of at GAS o'clock, as at present.
The evening train, however, will not
arrive in Cedar Rapids until 11:05 p.
M instead of at 9:05 as on the present
schedule, and this will not be so con-
venient to the patrons of the road.
Slow Work on Cut Off.
The work on the Milwaukee cut off
is progressing slowly, owing to the
continued bad weather, and it is GER
tain that the work will not have been
completed until late in the spring.
The new road will mean much to OF
tumwa as it win give direct connec-
lions with Muscatine and Davenport,
towns which are now hard to reach.
This will also give Ottumwa clear
title as the division point, as both the
Marion G Kansas City branch and the
cutoff can be best handled in this city,
where the roads join. 1t is probable
that many officials of the road who
now have their headquarters at Kan
sas City or Marion will be moved here,
while local officials have hopes that a
dispatchers office will be installed
and the trains handled out of this city
as was formerly done before the dis
patchers were moved to Marion.
May Be Other Chances.
The work on the Ottumwa end of
the line is nearing completion. The
yards where the cutoff joins the Mar
ion & Kansas City tracks at Rutledge
have been completed and if bad wea-
Their had not set in it is certain that
the bridges along the line would have
been built and ready for the rails ere
this. 1t is thought that other changes
will be made in the time card of the
branches when the cutoff is complet
ed, but it is too early as yet for the
local officials to hazard a guess as to
the extent of the changes. 0
Burlington Officials in Chicago.
Superintendent G. w. Fabens and
Chief Dispatcher c. w. Messenger, OF
the Ottumwa division of the Burling-
ton, left last evening for Chicago
where they were called to meet with
the other officials of the road for the
purpose of arranging the time card
on the Keokull & Western, which will
the first of the year be run as part
of the Burlington system. The card
will be changed to correspond with
the time of the Burlington trains. 1t
it possible that other changes may be
made but it is not known in Ottumwa
as to what trains will be affected.

Dudley.


Dudley, Dec. 31.-The little town of
Dudley, which for many years has
been On the standstill, has been MAX
ms some very marked improvements
during the past year. The erection of
the new residence and store building
by w. w. Rapp was an ornament to
the town IS well as a great necessity.
O. w. Hasselrooth, who moved here
from Pekay last October to take the
place formerly occupied by Mr.. Rapp,
has enlarged the old store, Several
telephone lines have been put in dur
ing the past year, which afford tele-
phone connections with all the sur
rounding towns and many of the coun-
ttry districts. A rural mail route has
been established, which will serve the
farmers on the west and south. The
people hope that fully as much, and
more, will be done in another year to
build up the town. There is room for
much Improvement. Dudley needs a
church, a graded school, first class
hotel and several factories. The Or
ganiZation of brass band and the
building Of an opera house might be
suggested.
Schools in this vicinity have all
closed for two weeks vacation DUR
ing holidays.
