AT WASHINGTON.
Quiet Observance Of Day-All the De-
partments Closed.

Washington, Feb. 23-Washington's
birthday was quietly observed in this
city. All the executive departments OF
the government were closed, though a
few of the officials spent a little time
at their desks during the day. Many
patriotic organizations held exercises.
The day marked the ushering in of the
annual convention of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution, which helC
flag ceremonies in the afternoon ait the
site of the proposed continental memo
rial hall.
An interesting feature of the days
exercises was the raising of a flag on
the site of the proposed Continental
hall at the corner of 18th and D streets
northwest. The flag was raised by
Mrs. Fairbanks to the tune of the
star Spangled Banner" sung by the
crowd below.
In the perpetuation of the fame of the
Father of his Country" the children
of the Revolution accompanied by their
elders of the Daughters cnd Sons of the
American revolution and about 1000
other pilgrims, made their annual
journey to the shrine of Washington
at Mount Vernon, today, to make note
of the growth Of the tree the society
planted six years ago in a sheltered
spot near the tomb.
Transplanted from a nursery in
Massachusetts in 1897, the little bush
mas grown until now it is lusty young
sapling.
Appropriate exercises similar to those
which have been held by the society
every 22d of February since the tree
was planted We're held.
Mrs. Daniel Lathrop, the founder Of
the organization of Boy and Girl De-
scendants of Patriots, presided.

IOWA COMPANY WINS.
Telephone Wires Cannot Be Ordered
Out of Town.

Des Moines, Feb. 13.-The Iowa
Telephone Company won its suit in
the supreme court today, involving the
right to occupy the streets of Des
Moines without any franchise from
the city Suit was brought>to GUST the
company and it claimed the right to re-
main in the city under the general
statute granting telephone and tele-
graph companies the right to occupy
all public highways, claiming that the
term public highway includes the
streets and alleys in a city. The ST.
preme court today sustained this view.
This renders substantially valuless ev-
cry exclusive telephone franchise in
the state and makes 1t impossible to
keep out of city or town company
seeking to enter. Towns and cities
can only regulate the companies, but
not exclude them.

WILL IMPROVE.
Rock Island Will Ballast Road Bed
With Crushed Stone.

During the year 1903 the Rock ISL
and officials will improve all the lines
of the company in Iowa by ballasting
with crushed stone. Orders are being
placed this winter with quarrymen
for all the stone available to be used
as soon as the weather "Opens up in
the spring. 1t is said the company
expects to have the finest road bed in
the state when the ballasting is COM
pleted.
Owing to wet weather, storms and
sudden thaws the company has had
considerable trouble with its tack
of late. Small washouts and bSd
places along the line have to be lookea
after constantly. The experience or
last summer, together with trouble
throughout the winter, has led the
officers to believe the best plan is TO
ballast with the best material obtain
able.

HOSPITAL BENEFIT.
Fund is Increased by $50 From the
Minstrel Show.

The ladies of the hospital board an
nounce that they received fifty dollars
cash from the receipts of the Home
Talent Minstrels. The boys turned
over the entire amount above the eX-
penses of the show. All of the bills
incurred were turned over to the
ladies with the cash. There is a small
amount of money yet to be received
from some of the ticket solicitors who
have not reported to the club.
The expenses of the club were very
heavy owing to the fact that some of
the local talent solicited refused to as
sist the boys and some of the musical
talent had to be secured from abroad.
The quartette came from Muscatine
and board and railroad fare had to be
paid by the show fund in addition to
the service fee paid. The showing
made in the face of the conditions
that were met is most satisfactory and
the ladies of the board are most thank
full to the young men.

ABsoRBS A COLLEGE.
Drake University Takes Over Des
Moines Dental School.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 12.-The Des
Moines College of Dental Surgery be-
came affiliated with Drake university
yesterday, under contract running
ten and one-half years, with condition
al provisions with respect to purchase
of the college by the university.
Under the terms of the affiliation
Drake university issues university di-
plomas to all graduates of the dental
college, which becomes, to all intents
and purposes, a department OF the
larger institution. The university &C
quires disciplinary rights with respect
to the college also, but the latter re-
tains its entire faculty without change
and its business affairs remain in the
hands of the board of trustees OF the
dental college.

This is a fine, generous proposition,
and embraces a large collection in
taxidermy that is now at the Bryan
farm recently sold to Bennett and
Hudson. The board has no room in
which to place the collection, in fact
is short of school room, and will have
to decline the generous offer unless
more room is provided. A proposition
to erect two-room frame building on
the school grounds was discussed, the
same to be so located as to use water
from the wells now used, also to be
heated by the same furnace. In the
course of a few years a good brick,
ten-room school building will be de-
manded, and this frame building could
then be sold and moved away.

LOCAL SPECTATORS.
Are Said to be Losers in the Arnold
Turf Co.'s Failure.

Another bunch of Oskaloosa specu-
lators were caught in the Arnold as
signment at st. Louis. The Cleague
Commission business was the first les
son taught to local spectators aud
the Arnold was the second blow. 1t
is estimated that several thousand
dollars of Oskaloosa money went to
st. Louis to help along the success Of
the big turf swindle. 1t is also said
that several thousand dollars more CT
town money is now invested in similar
companies about the country. Chi
cago has commenced crusade
against the turf business in that city
and other places where the graft has
been successfully worked will follow
in the prosecution of the promoters of
the scheme.

THE TRADE REVIEWS
Dunn and Bradstreet Tell of Coun.
try's Business.

New York, Feb. 14.-R. G. Dunn &;
Co.'S weekly Review of Trade says:
"DispropOrtion between supply and
| demand is still a factor of strength
IN many commodities, while similar
conditions exist as to skilled labor,
retarding much work and in some
cases postponing important under
takings and improvements. Wages
have been advanced voluntarily, and
also in response to demands by
organized labor. Relief to the traf-
tic congestion is still confined to a
few favored districts, and shippers
cannot hope for prompt deliveries,
until lake navigation opens. Earn
jngs continue to show splendid gains
over former years, January returns
thus far exceeding 1902 by "a per
cent, and 1901 by 1871 per cent.
Orders for spring shipment are heavy
| in all staple lines, and the advance
business for fall is unusually large,
testifying to the confidence of buy
ers in continued prosperity. Sound
conditions continue to prevail in the
iron and steel industry, with few
developments of note.
Failures for this week numbered
23O in the United States, against 24O
last year, and 20 in Canada, COM
pared with SO, year ago"
Bradstreet's says: "Distributive
trade and productive industry feel
the influence of spring-like weather,
slightly better collections, steady and
even strong prices for staples, some
improvement in the railway trans
portation situation, and cheaper and
better supplies of coal at the east.
An additionally favorable feature not
as yet given full consideration is
the signing of the new bituminous
coal wage scale, by which any pos
sible unsettlement from this source
is prevented. Mild weather makes
for increased activity in outdoor
work, while active movements in lum-
Der, structural iron and steel, build
ers' hardware and a myriad of other
lines lead to the belief that the pres
ent season, Notwithstanding higher
prices of materials, will witness i'm
mense building operations. In this
connection cognizance must be taken
of the reports coming from widely
separated sections indicating a scar
city of labor. In the south increased
railway building, numbering opera
tions and a diversiication of industry
generally has drawn heavily upon the
labor available for the cotton fields,
and a less than ordinarily might
have been expected increase in acre
age is therefore looked for in this
line. a balance to this, however,
may be found in the present high
price of that staple. In the north
west labor is scarce in the lumber
ing industry, and, generally speak
ing, it might be said that manual
labor the country over finds a ready
market. All in all the situation is
one practically never equalled before
at this time, confirming earlier pre-
dictions that the first half of the
year 1903 was secure beyond perad-
venture"
