Purchase of Iowa Central Bonds
By Illinois Central Arouses
Suspicious
WILL THE ONE OWN THE OTHER?
Decline Of Iowa Central Stock Indicates
That BondhoIders May Soon Own
the Road-Operating a Coal Mine
JontIy-Des Moines Story Says ILL

Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug 1o-Gossip has
again been revived about the absorb
ton of the Iowa Central and NJ & ST.
l.. roads by the Illinois Central. a
story recently appeared in a Chicago
paper to the effect that the Illinois
Central had purchased $25,000.o00 of
Iowa Central bonds and the constant
and rapid decline of Iowa Central COM
mon stock on the Wall street market
would indicate that somebody believes
the bonded claim is about all there is
of value in the road. Since the re-
cent refunding was done and the Hook
ing Valley coal mine purchased by
railroad men interested in both Illinois
Central and Iowa Central roads the
two roads have been paying the eX-
penses of the mine jointly which would
indicate a very intimate association be-
tween the two arrangements.
Sundays Des Moines Register and
Leader contains a wild speculation OH
the subject as follows:
THE report that the Illinois Contra.
is about to absorb the Minneapolis &
st. Louis is again current in railwa y
circles. The report is doubted for the
fact that the same thing interferes
with the consolidation that has blocked
it for several years. The Minneapolis
& St. Louis and Iowa Central lines
are owned by the same parties While
bAS mil to pA11 hot. S,,to ,t-
in fact anxious to do So still they re-
fuse to sell the Minneapolis & St.
Louis without the Iowa Central. The
two roads have not proved a profitable
investment, in fact their earnings have
been decreasing instead Of increasing
the last few years. To operate the
Iowa Central without the Minneapolis
& st. Louis would be money loser
from the start, as the latter road acts
as a feeder for the former. 1t gives
the Iowa Central connections to the
Twin cities and other good points.
While the Minneapolis & st. Louis
would be a valuable acquisition for the
Illinois Central, the Iowa Central would
not, The lines of the former crossing
the Illinois Central at Storm Lake
would be good feeders. The line from.
Albert Lea to st. Paul is now being
used by the Illinois Central for Twin
City Chicago business and the line to
Des Moines would give them entrance
to town they have long been anx-
iouS to reach. There is no question
but that the deal would be made in
stantly providing the owners would
sell the Minneapolis e st. Louis with
ont the Iowa Central

"The Yellowstone Park is something
absolutely unique in this world, as far
rs 1 know. Nowhere else in any civil
lzed country is there to be found such
i tract Of veritable wonderland, made
accessible to all visitors, where at the
same time not only the scenery Of the
wilderness, but the wild creatures OF
the park. are scrupulously preserved"
President Roosevelt.
This delightful spot IS more easily
reached via the Union Pacific than by
any other line. The stage ride from
Monida, by the. splendid Concord
coaches of the Monica & Yellowstone
Stage Company, is thru scenery hardly
inferior to the park itself.
The popular route to the Yellowstone

The wonders OF Color.

A small and simple experiment can
be tried by any reader which VIII go
far to convince him or her what dept
we owe to color and what good thing
II is we have sunlight, which enables
our eyes to take advantage Of the beau
tiful hues of nature. Make room
quite dark and then burn some carbon
ate of soda in the flame OF bunsen
gas burner. 1t will burn with an Or
ange yellow light sufficiently strong to
illuminate everything in the room, but
YOU will realize with sudden shock
that, bright though the light Is, all dis
tinctions of color have vanished. Only
light and shade remain. A crimson
carnation blue violet, a red table
cloth, a yellow blind-all look gray or
black or white. The faces Of those
present look positively repulsive, for all
natural color has disappeared.
No other experiment will so well con-
vince those who have witnessed it how
great loss would be that Of our sense
for color

AN OLD LANDMARK GONE.
Soper's Grist Mill Near Ames Being
Moved to Farm.

Special TO Times-Repuolican.
Ames, Aug. 10.-Another old land
mark of the early days of Story county,
known as Sopers mill, located about
eight miles north of Ames on the banks
of Skunk river, is being moved and in
the future will be used for barn pur-
poses. This old mill has withstood the
storms of winter and summer for over
fifty years, being first built by a man
named Hughes for sawmiu, put
afterwards was sold to another man by
the name of Soper from whom ii de-
rived its name and was rebuilt into a
srist mill. for which purpose 1T has
been used ever since until within the
last two years.
The river has been SO low except
only about two months during the year,
that it has been found improbable to
retain it for a grist mill longer. In
the pioneer days of Story county this
was the nearest mill this side of Des
Moines and 1t brings q feeling of re-
greet to many an old settler that this
structure is a thing of the past.
