Electric Railway Meeting
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING THURS
DAY IN COURT HOUSE.
Two Syndicates Want To Build A
Road From Des Moines to Coun-
Gil Bluffs, via Audubon. Al
most A Sure Thing

Pursuant to the call of Mayor j. A.
Nash fora mass meeting in the court
house last Thursday evening, the hall
was thronged with enthusiastic bust
ness men and capitalists anxious to
hear the report of the committee APP
pointed at a previous meeting to in
quire into the prospective route. Mr..
Nash had been in conference with
representatives of eastern syndicates
at Des Moines last week and by his
favorable reports soon had everyone
thoroughly enthused. Two compan-
les are ready to take up the enterprise
if they can get it. The proposition of
either makes it very easy terms for the
territory through which they pass.
The proposed route comes west from
Des Moines, through Grimes, Dallas
Center, Panora, Guthrie Center, Au-
dubon, Harlan, Portsmouth, Logan
and Council Bluffs. The companies
propose putting on a 75.pound stand
ard guage, with freight and passenger
accommodations at an average speed
OF As miles per hour and cars running
every hour. To the territory this
passes through it would be god
send. They are now at the mercy of
a branch road system whose employees
work faithfully to give good service to
the people with the unlimited means
at their command. But on the pro-
posed line it would give direct

publishers have had many inquiries in re-
gard TO the origin of the phrase and the
Latin synonym Sub rosa When, in the
year AL B. c., Pausanias and Xerxes were
plotting for the subjugation of Greece to
Persian rule, the intrigue was carried on
In a building whose roof was garden and
a bower of roses. Xerxes, in cautioning
silence, haphazardly referred to the roses
above them, so that between these men
the significance of the flower came to be
secrecy. 1t afterward became the custom
of the Athenians to wear roses in their
hair whenever they wished the communi-
cations among themselves to be kept in
violate. Then, ancient myth has ii that
Cupid gave Harpocrates, the god OF ST.
lence, q rose for bride not to betray the
anours of Venus. Thus the rose has be-
come an emblem of silence, and things
done and said under the rose are secret
and confidential.
