Goodman has a 2oo-acre farm flye
miles south OF this city and is farming
Fit above and mining it below the sur
lace. He has a large and fine deposit
of clay on this farm. Last year he iniri-
led and shipped eighty-fye car loads OF
thirty tons each OF this clay without the
use Of mining machinery. He has
gone eight-four feet down into the vein
In one place without finding the under
side. Into another vein he has gone
sixty feet.
The pits are dug fourteen feet square
and the clay hoisted by means OF a
mule and a pulley at the rate of twenty
tons a day. The clay weighs ia
pounds to the square foot !; thus a pit
fourteen feet square yields about twelve
tons Of clay for each twelve inch I'M
crease in depth. One Of these veins is
white and the other pink.
DR.. GoodnaE ships d large amount
of his clay to Chicago, where ii is used

|fectly solid and are apparently mex

IOWA CATTLE MEN ARE
SORE AT RAILROADS

Des Moines,' April 23.--A special
session OF the Iowa Legislature is pos
sible. The stock shippers have threat
.ened to ask Governor Cummins to call
one if the railroads do not conform to
the spirit Of the agreement by which
compromise legislation relative to
stock shippers passes was enacted by
the recent general assembly. The roads
have declined to issue transportation
from Chicago to the Iowa line. The
stock shippers declare that the agree
ment contemplated the issuance Of
passes in Illinois as we'll as in this
state, and will urge an extra session to
pass retaliatory legislation if the agree
ment is not carried out.

spring?
YOU do?
Come, lot us laugh together,
Laugh at the world and weather.
Let us carol, let us chortle,
Shake off the winter mildew,
AS every wholesome mortal
Does, has done, will do
Forever and ever till there be no spring.
How the wild blood
Leaps in n sappy flood!
The floors Of the earth are newly clean
With purest, sweetest green;
Her ceiling has. that matchless huo
OF rain-wnshed sun-soaked blue;
The world Is cleaning house.
Open the windows OF yourself and let
the sunshine souse
In every corner Shake the dust out Of
your lungs!
Pray for q dozen tongues
TO sing as med larks sing
In praise ~ spring
And everything.

For ali ii the world may owe YOU.

Pours out its golden heart for every one;
Blows warm. blows cool. doing Its best
Every grass patch Is a lyric,
Every robins note panegyric; u.

The clouds are slowed away on heavens
