TO TRAIN ITS OWN MEN.
Illinois Central Railroad Company Es-
tabishing Reserve List for Employ

Special to Republican.
Dubuque, Jan. 1.-The Illinois Cen
trail Railway Company proposes to
train its own men for the higher posi-
tons In it's service, instead of securing
them from other lines. 1t is establish
ign sort of reserve list in its employ
ment bureau and has asked agents all
along the line to furnish the Depart
ment with a list of young men in the
town and country adjacent who have
ambitions to become railway men, the
plan being to keep on hand at all times
a complete list of desirable, strong and
steady men who may be called into
service at any time they are needed
The Central has evidently learned
from experience that country boys who
have been reared in the open air. with
good physiques and temperate habits
are most desirable, and they are en-
couraging this class of men to enter
their service. The road has always
been loyal to it's patrons and the peo-
pie living on or near Its lines and 1t
prefers to secure It's men from this
source and train them in the service
rather than hire men from other roads
who in a great many cases have lost
their position for some reason or other.

of those past three score has been UNI
usually large. The city has been for
tunate in the fact that we have had
no serious epidemic of typhoid fever.
Our city has been an exception In this
regard. This, l think is due to our

while other parts Of the state have had
more serious epidemics with even

Dubuque.
There is much discussion among To-
cal taxpayers in regard to the OBJ
lection raised to paying the tax ex-,
acted for sprinkling. Several local
Taxpayers. whose sprinkling tax will
run from $50 to $780, are circulating
a petition against paying the tax which
will be presented to the city council
when sufficient number of signatures
shall have been secured. The totll
sprinlSling tax will amount to over
$4,000. Attic the expense of sprink-
ling did not reach this amount, still
several thousand dollars will be needed
to buy sprinllling apparatus, ETC., for
next year Many of the taxpayers are
of the opinion that the council made
a mistake when it made personally
subject to taxation for sprinlSling pur
poses Under this plan several of the
big manufacturing establishments that
paid only $5 or Sc Il year for sprinkling
when it was done by private individu-
ais now pay under municipal sprink-
ling from $50 to $780, because they are
not only assessed on their realty. but
also on their stock.

Reinbeck. Jan. 1.-There is trouble In
the Cedar Valley telephone exchanges
here, at Traer and at Dysart, which,
unless it is speedily adjusted will as
sumo proportions which will prove dis

The managers of these exchanges have
had trouble with the company over the
wage scale, and they have been joined
by the operators. The Bell company
has awaited an opportunity to get a
foothold in the territory of the indie
pendent company and they have now
stepped into the breach and joined with
the farmers in an independent line
going to Cedar Falls. They will oper-
ate their exchanges with the farmers

dar Valley company.

Lately in thought my vanished youth
drew nigh;
Though gazing face to face, he still
seemed strange.
Oh, wherefore from my prospect doth
he range?
What fields. what fountains. raise his
ecstasy?
Or my souls mirror doth the scene belle,
Or life her glory for decay doth change
And snow and frost besiege her blossom
ing grange
While youth and May from wintry
weather fly.
Nay; were spring sweet forever to en-
dure?
For great deeds were her garlands then
lure?
While harvest home still follows from
the pillow
Each season hath it's glory! Wherefore
weep
While granaries their golden treasures
heap
Amid the moaning flood. the naked
Dough?
