IOWA CENTRAL CHANGE
DonneIly Chief Dispatcher and
Snyder Train Master.

Official announcement is made OF
another change in the operating de.
partment of the Iowa Central. j. F.
Fahey, who has been at the desk OF
chief dispatcher since the resignation
of Fred Melin some months ago, has
resigned the position and will leave
the city in few days. Superintend-
ent Davis announces that F. w. Sny-
der is appointed acting trainmaster,
vice w. t. Donnelly, who has been
made acting superintendent of tele-
graph and chief train dispatcher.
Mr. Snyder is an old railroad man,
having served as fireman, engineer,
brakeman and conductor, and in every
capacity has proven himself master
of the work. He will no doubt fill the
new position with ability and satisfac.
ton to all concerned.
culvert Completed.
The Iowa Central completed a big
job of work Monday in getting a new
culvert under its yards between Sec.
ond and Third avenues. The job was
big one and has occupied large
force of men during the past three
weeks, or since the heavy rains of the
latter part of May. The old culvert
that was built of wood had rotted out
and become clogged up with material
stopping almost all flow of water.
This caused the storm floods to be
backed up on the lots east Of the Cen
trail embankment at this point and did
much damage. A house occupied by
family named Wheeler and owned
by Mrs. London Dairy, of Des Moines,
was flooded and all of the gardens
in the block were ruined by the water
that remained in the place for several
days. The flood was disposed of by
being turned into the sewer which
was recently extended through the al
ley in the block. The railway com
pany sunk a manhole in the alley and
tapped the sewer. The work was sub
stantially done and the lake drained
The man hole made at the time will
be provided with covering and will
be maintained at the place as the city
or the railway company may have use
for it at some future time.
The railroad company in putting in
the new culvert had to make TUNE
under the entire width of its right o.
way, distance of almost 200 feet
and a twenty-four inch tile was pu
in. This will insure against any rep
etition Oh the recent trouble. Th'
water that drains from this section O
the city will be conveyed under thu
railway tracks and out through thu
Oskaloosa Gas Company's sewer. The
job was long and tedious and Fore
man James O'Hearne is glad that i
has been completed.

SCORES ARE SETTLED:
North and South Side Whist Club
End Their Troubles.

The north" and south side"wbist
clubs that have been contending for
supremacy during the past season
ended their troubles last evening in
an entertainment and banquet at the,
"Dick" Redman home northwest of
the city that was furnished by the
north-siders. 1t was the agreement
at the opening of the season that the
side losing the contest was to give a
banquet to the victors. The north
side club lost and hence the entertain
ment. The evening was very pleas
antly spent and the banquet was all,
that a king might desire. The crowd
went to the Redman home in a bus.
All declared the evening could not
have been made more pleasant and
that the entertainment given by the
losers, was worth striving for.

THEMODERN WOODMEN
State Representative Gleason Tells
of Head Camp.

At special meeting of the local
lodge last evening State Representa-
tive Hon. H. w. Gleason, who has just
returned from meeting of the Head
Camp of the Modern Woodmen Of
America, made report Of the work
done by that body. 1t was of especial
interest to members but will be en-
joyed by the public as well. Mr.
Gleason in part said:
"The meeting at Indianapolis of the
M. w. A. was the most important one
ever held.
"The question of readjustment
which has agitated the membership
for several years, and greatly during
the past two years, was settled for all
time, and to the entire satisfaction OF
the whole body of the order. 1t is
predicted that the growth of the or
der will now be more rapid than ever
and that for the next few years the
assessments will not exceed seven OF
eight per year.
1.-THE new plan equalizes the rates
between the different ages on a more
equitable basis and will prevent the
older jurisdictions like Illinois from
becoming a charge upon the society,
as it has been the past year. Last
year Illinois cost $175,000 more than
it paid in, owing to the fact that its
older members did not pay what they
ought. At the head camp a commit
tee of twenty-five were elected from
the different states, Of which H. w.
Gleason, of our city, was made chair
man. The officers Of the head camp
and many others appeared before it
with their several plans. Out or
these they called three which were
by the members of the committee sub
mitted to the convention, One was
a plan with three options submitted
by the head officers, one known as the
Iowa plan, and one submitted by Illi-
nois delegates which provided for a
local raise of fifty per cent on the
present rates. The Iowa plan was
adopted and is fair, adequate and en-
tirely satisfactory. The order is to
be congratulated upon the good judg-
ment used and that the question of re-
adjustment is settled on an equitable
and fair basis. Iowa is to be congrat-
ulated on the fact that its delegation
was the most influential of any in the
convention and that its plan was the,
one adopted"

Welsh Festival.

Abba, June 23.-The Abba business
men and stockholders of the Eistedd.
fod Association are greatly disappint.
ed in not being able to secure Kings
opera house for the annual musical
festival next Thanksgiving day. When
the committee went to Mgr. Payton
to secure the house it was found that
the date had already been taken by a
three night company and it seems
that no way can be arranged whereby
the house can be secured. The asso-
citation had gone ahead and made
preparations for holding the festivaI
that day, and as they cannot secure
the house will either hold the Eistedd-
fod at Oskaloosa or Ottumwa, or
abandon the meeting this year. This
loss means much to Abba business
men as the Eisteddfods bring big
crowds of people and several thous-
and dollars in trade to the places
where they are held. Abba has want
edthis meeting for years and now that
they had it, it is too bad to lose it in
this way.

When you talk about being the worlds leader in any one thing you have established a wonderful standard of comparison. Nothing could be great CT and in this day of tremendous com- petition 1t means more than you can really grasp without study to say "the greatest in the world" Particularly is this true of medicine and it is such a strong testimonial of great merit that we can not help but express our satis- faction to learn that Cascarets has, to- day, the largest sale of any similar medicine in the world. Tn obtaining this judicious newspaper advertising has played a very important part, but all the advertising and push and energy would have counted for naught unless Cascarets had the merit and would do all that's claimed for them. Nothing has ever attained such large sale in the history of medicine. Our ten mill lion boxes year and the demand is growing rapidly, because the people take them. like them. they are cured and they recommend them to their friends.

STATES INCOME.
New Haven County Courts.

NeW Haven county courts.
 Nothing in the annual report of the criminal business of the state courts, as compiled by the state controller, can be found of greater interest to the citizens of New Haven county than the fact that in each court the contributions to the state from this section far exceeds those of any other county, and, in fact, of any two counties combined. Espec- ially is that true of the states attor- ney's office. .'
 According to the figures furnished, MT. Williams has sent in for the year ending July 1, 1903, the sum of $S, s5S 50, while his assistant, John P. Kellogg, contributed $446.09, making a total of s9,404.59. The next largest amount came from Hartford, where States Attorney Eggleston forwarded $2,59156.
 So, too with the prosecuting attorney, MT. Woodruff collecting $1,SsT71, and MT. Bradstreet being good for S1, ,713, ,es, or a total of $2,111.39.
 From E. A. Anketell, clerk of the su- perior court, came $3o2.S0, and from Samuel J. Marsh, assistant clerk $163 .01. Total, $467s1. '*
 Altogether, the state should be grate- ful to this county for $12,sS3.29, while all the other counties together made up only $S,967.70 thus making New Haven county's share over fifty~nine per cent. of the total.
