Iowa Falls Division c. G. N. w.
Iowa Falls, Sept. 12.-Superintendent
Quigley, of Eagle Grove. has just COM
pleted a careful inspection of the Iowa
Falls division of the Chicago & North
western and has outlined Improvements
to be made this fall and next spring
on this division of the system which
came under the control of the North
western about a year ago. For several
months a gang of men have been at
work putting the road bed in shape and
practically the entire line has been re-
tied. The completion of this work will
be followed by graveling and surfacing
the line with a view to heavier traffic
and quicker time.

eRlNNELL OPENS WEDNESDAY,
Prospects Good For An Increased En-
roIIment This Year.

Special TO I1meS- hepupltcdIi.
Grinnell, Sept. 12.--Grinnell College
will open Wednesday, and the present
prospects are that there will be good
increase in enrolment, even tho the
fact that last year was the banner year
in the history of the school is consid-
cred. If the freshman class is in
creased this year the faculty will con-
slider that the college is indeed pros
pering, for last year Grinnell not only
had the largest freshman class of her
history, but the largest Of any school
in the state.
The college is in the midst of inn
which will be completed by
mid-winter. A large tunnel, in which
heating mains run from the steam
plant to the different buildings, will be
completed before many weeks, at a
cost of $4,000. The new $4,000 Car
negie library is enclosed, and will be
ready for dedication about January 1.

CITY COUNCIL SUED
Library Trustees and Aldermen Fail to
Agree at Storm Lake-Board Brings
Suit to Compel Council to Levy Lib
rary Tax,

Suit to Compel Council to Levy Lib
rary Tax.
Storm Lake, Sept. 12.-Suit has been
brought by the board of library trus-
tees of this city to force the city coun-
Gil to certify to the county auditor
tax levy of three mills for the purchase
Of a site for the Carnegie library. The
court has been asked to issue positive
manf1amus compelling the council TO
act. Suit is brought by S. G. Brad
ford. chairman of the board OF library
trustees. and the members OF the board
are recited as plaintiffs in the ACTON
and Mayor P. c. Toy and the members
of the city council are named as de-
PENDANTS.
when it became known last spring
that Mr.. Carnegie was willing to make
a donation of $10,UUV 10 the Guy OIL
Storm Lake, for the purpose OF erect
ing a library, the proposition as TO
whether to accept the gift and support
the library was voted upon at a specla!
election and was carried In favor OIL
the project. AS provided IN the sIas.
utes the mayor named the board or
library trustees with power to act IN
the matter of a site. The board chose
what is known as the Ullery site, di-
rectly across the street north from the
court house. The site was unsatisfac-
tory to majority of the council,
and would cost the city more money
than any of the other proposed sites.
When the library trustees asked the
city council to certify to the auditor the
three mill tax for the purchse of this
site, that body refused. Hence the suit.
The matter will come before the
court at the term which opens next
Monday, when Judge Quarton of Al
coma will be on the bench. The out
come will be watched with great deal
of interest.

Special to Ti1nes-Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 12.-Officers at
Fort Des Moines do not know whether
to close up the gates of the government
reservation and discontinue their hos
pita1ity to sightseers or not. When they
announced that visitors would be well
come always, they did not bargain for
the curiosity that many of them dis
play when they visit the fort and now
the soldiers find that they have no
privacy whatever; not even the private
dwellings of the ieutenants captains
and colonies are free from the prying
eyes of men and women. Sightseers
climb up on the porches Of the fine
houses in officers row, peer rudely into
the windows, walk into open doorways
and even occupy private llammocks
and porch chairs for eating their
lunches.

Ticket at Webster City.
Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Sept. 12.-There seems
to be wholesale movement on among
the democrats in central Iowa toward
the desertion Of the democratic ticket
j. w. Lee, nominated by that party in
this city for judge has declined to
run, and but few days ago Ruben Nc
Ferren refused to run on the same tick
ct for county attorney.
McFerren claims that he is repub--
lican, and Mr.. Lee states that the dem
ocratic party has shifted position by
reason of it's tariff plank and silence
on money.
The desertion of these prominent men
after having been given nominations
has created a big sensation in the CEN
trail part of the state.

PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.
Simple System Which Will Pay for Itself in the Course of
 Single Week.

Market gardeners, and even the mak- CT of a kitchen garden, feel the need of some wholesale means of protecting newly set plants from the drying effects of sun or air. A cloudy day is usually taken for transplanting, but the sun may come out with scorching heat at any moment, and much harm be done to unshaded plants. Make reel. as shown in the accompanying illustration, and a lot of wire supports. using No. 12 wire. Make the, reel roller and the wire sup ports about foot wide.

BERRIES FOR MARKET.
It Pays to Raise Them, Provided the Crop Is Disposed Of fin the Right
 Way and Place.

t Having been asked, by farmer sub scriber if it will pay to grow berries for market, in reply will say yes if the business is managed right, and the crop disposed of in the right way and place. A good many of our towns are not properly supplied with berries; what they get. if any, are second class-the overflow or refuse from the cities, where the market is often glutted. The commission men send circulars out before the berries are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped from the south inducing many home growers to ship By the time their ber- ries get ripe the demand is supplied, prices drop, and the berries being per ishable product, have to be sold for what they will bring.
 My advice is to grow berries for local market towns that are not well supplied. Such places can be found in the west; land can be bought for less than half that close to large cities, pickers are cheap, and, as a rule, more reliable. [ Berries that get too ripe on account of rain, and which will not do to ship. can be sold in the home market; all the rough handling of the railroad men, shipping expenses, commissions, etc., are saved, also crates and boxes. Then when consumers get fresh, wholesome, home grown berries, they often get twice as many, and the growers in the local market often can regulate the price.
 It is a mistake to plant too large an acreage. We have to pay two cents a quart for pickers; one cent for straw berries and blackberries and one and one-half to two cents for raspberries. The pickers can make good wages. I have had boys and girls under 16 years old make dollar day. I, IS years ago, sold as high as $40 worth of straw berries in a day. I remember selling five dollars worth of raspberries from one picking off one row the length of ten acres Blackberries, 12 or more years ago, were not profitable, as so many grew wild; but of late years, growing blackberries has become more profitable.

A WORD WITH THE GIRLS.
Learn to Do the Little Things That
 Give Enjoyment to Yourself and Others.

It is the girl who does things in this world who is attractive, both to men and to her own sex, which last counts a little, too, in the dong run. You may not be able to do great things, to paint great pictures or to sing in grand opera, but you can learn to make bright little things for yourself and your friends and perhaps the light catchy" airs of the day so that your friends will enjoy them, and if you can't do anything else cultivate the art of talking brightly and of being sympathetic, says Good Housekeep' ing. E 4s s
 Every girl can do one thing we'll ii she will only take the trouble to find out what that thing is. The difficulty is that she often looks in the opposite direction; she wants to do something great and showy or nothing at all. Btu there are other talents within reach ii she will only look, and these talents may be such comfort to her in hel dark hours that they will make life better and happier both for herself an( those about her. ..,.... ,-. .,. ...,c, o How the, world likes |, cheerful plucky girl who makes brave f1gh and hides her skeleton in, closet in stead of folding her hands and whin ing because things don't come her way -the girl who puts her own grief. as much as possible aside and wht takes a wholesome interest in life-i, the one who wins out every time.

SHE WAS ALL PREPARED.
So That When Hobson Sneezed His Good Wife Was Right There
 with the Remedy.

! MT. Hobson sneezed and Mrs. Hobson
 remarked that he must have caught
 cold. MT. Hobson is one of those men
 who hate to have fuss made over them.
 He has been trying to impress that fact
 on his wife's mind for 20 years, relates
 the Chicago Daily News. | What makes you think I've taken
 cold ?'' he demanded, irritably.
 You sneezed," replied Mrs. Hob son. E k
 That doesn't signify" He paused. | But it does signify It is one of the
 first signs of cold. You went out with
 the ashes this morning without thing
 round your neck" "I always do" "And now you've caught cold" l MT. Hobson returned to the reading of
 his newspaper without replying. In l few moments Mrs. Hobson said:
 Henry"
 "Well?" ....4 E
 You've got to do something for that
 cold"
 Cant sneeze without being. accused | of cold? Is there any law against sneezing, or do have to get permit from the health department?" 'T don't see anything foolish in taking
 cold in time,'' Mrs. Hobson said, calm ly. eff you would let me put your feet 1 in hot water and mustard, and get you to l bed-'" MT. Hobson resumed his paper, and as
 he did so he felt an annoying tickling in his nose. He struggled heroically for nearly half a minute. Then he sneezed again.
 '"There-" said Mrs. Hobson, in melan-
 choly triumph. You've sneezed again!" 'I've sneezed twice, and I'm not
 ashamed of it," Hobson replied, coldly.
 eff feel like it, I'm going to sneeze again. I'm"
 Three successive and violent sternu- tations interrupted him.
 "Now will you let me heat that water,
 Henry?"
 "No, thank you" .a
 ''Will you take some quinine, them" ! "No." Mrs. Hobson sighed. "Sneezes," MT. Hobson explained, are convulsions caused by an irritation of sensitive membrane. The irritation
 may be caused by the introduction of any small particle of foreign matter, such as a grain of dust. Snuff has been known to produce sneeze; so has pepper. You can get up fairly good imitation by tickling the nostrils with straw. It is | not, as you imagine, an infallible indi- l cation of cold"
 "I suppose" said Mrs. Hobson, reflect ively, ''that you would object to an onion poultice, too?"
 Hobson rose from his chair and started 1 for the door. With his hand on the knob he paused to say, with dignity: '.I'm going up to my room now. I've got some work to do, so guess had better be alone for the rest of the evening" Hobson sneezed twice on the way up- stairs. Then the door of his den closed explosively. Fifteen minutes later the door opened and Hobson's voice called down the stairs: "Maria!" What is it. dear?" Say, if you think I really ought to take hot foot bath suppose it won't
 do any particular harm, whether I've got cold or not. Would it be troubling you too much to heat the water?" Mrs. Hobson's voice replied cheer fully:
 cts all ready now, dear. I've heated l 1t and got some blankets nice and hot When you're ready I'll bring them up."

Starting Ea~lyr Vegetables.

Select 6 warm, sunny place, dig . trench four feet deep, fill with horse ma nure we'll packed down and made moist, put on six inches fine soil, cover with sash and let stand few days. Thsn plant sweet potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes and celery. If the bed is big enough, cut choice Irish potatoes to one eye, f1sl small pasteboard boxes with soil and plant one in each. When soil is warm enough they can easily be transplantet. Cover the bed with heavy straw mating and boards in cold storms. The back part of the bed should be raised so the sash slopes to the south to catch the rays of the sun and carry off rain.-M. Peet, in Farm and Home.

Set a green hand to pruning trees, where limbs of any size are to b@ re- moved, and the chances are ten tc one that he will commence on the upper side of the limb and saw it of, saving through until, by It's own weight, it falls, tearing down the bark and wood, infisct- ing an ugly wound which it may require years to heal, and which, if not carefully protected from the weather, will cause such decay as to destroy the tree. To prevent injury to the tree, saw ore- fourth or one-thirG through on the under side, and then saw on the upper side, or, with very large limbs, to have them sup ported by crotchsd pole, held by an as- sistant below.-N.
