"The delights of globe-trot-

most amusing five minutes of

early last winter. l stopped
for lunch in a small town in
California and picked mp a pa
per from a North Dakota town
which contained the following
editorial paragraph:
1T is reported that one of
the fastidious newly-married

ia, kneads bread with her gloves
on. The incident may be some
what peculiar, but there are
others. The editor of this

shoes on; he needs bread with
his shirt on; he needs bread
with his pants on, and unless
some of the delinquent sub
scribers of this "Old Rag of
Freedom" pay up before long,
he will need bread without a

Big DITCH CONTRACT LET
Contractors for Moncna-laarrlsen
Canal Chosen.
Cost Is be Nearly $500. 900
1t is Considered One Of the Most
Important improvements Ever
Undertaken In Iowa, and VIII
Reclaim rs, 900 Acres Of Wet
Lands.

Onawa, Ia. June s. Con
tracts for the construction of
the Monona Harrison ditch
were let by the joint boards of
supervisors of the two counties
late this afternoon.
The estimated number of
yards to be eXcavated is 1872
7l2, and the improvement,
which is considered one of the
most important ever under
taken in Iowa, will cost nearly
100000. BY it 10000 acres
of wet land will be reclaimed,
making good corn fields.
A recent court decision that
the contractors would have to
put up money for damages
frightened many bidders at the
last minute.
Contracts were awarded as
follows:
Section No. I, including dams
and cutoffs of the Little Sioux
river, Chicago Canal Construc-
ton company at l34 cents per
cubic yard.
Sections No. 2 and 3, Farris
kerrl Construction company,

WILL COST HALF 4 MILLION
Alcncna- Harrison County Fitch
Expensive UNDERTAKING

Onawa, Ia, June 9.-Onawa
people are congratulating each
other over the letting of the
big ditch contracts yesterday.
1t will mean much to Onawa
and adjacent territory. The
improvements outlined will
probably cost nearly half a mil
lion dollars before final compile
tion, and with the bottom lands
all settled upon and under cul-
tivation Onawa expects to
double her population during
the next five years.
The boards of supervisors
adj ourned until June %. when
they will meetagain to approve
the bonds of contractors, who
have $l30,80O in certified
checks, as a guarantee on their
contracts, deposited in the
hands of the county auditor.
The two firms who have the
main contracts are large con-
Germs. The Chicago Canal
Construction company dug the
Woodbury. : Moaona ditch in
Woodbury. and Monona coun-
ties. The Faris-Kest Cons.ruc-
ton company has just COM
pleted a 100000 job Of irri-
cation bitches in Idaho. Both
contractors are pleased with
the outlook and are in a posi-
tion to handle the bonds or
certificates issued in payment
for the work without trouble.
The fact that the late court de-
cision requiring the payment
Of damages to be made before
commencing the work, instead
Of putting up a bond to pay, as
under former conditions, had a
tendency to keep out the small
bidders.

Egan's Great Argument In the
DenniS Cas-.

The name OF Geo. w. Egan
is one the lips of every one who
attended the Dennison trial at
Red Oak during its closing
hours. Mr.. Egan was selected
to make the closing argument
in behalf of the DEPENDENT.
Long before it was time fol
him to speak, men and women
crowded into the court room I'M
til it was packed. At the hotel
and on the street the query was
constantly put, "when will
Egan address the jury?"
The time came and Egan
surpassed the most sanguine
hopes of his friends. He spoke
for over three hours. The
court room was hushed to pro-
found silence. With perfect
logic, beautiful diction and
stately oratory he swept both
audience and jury off their
feet; closing in one great sweep
ing appeal for his client, the
audience wept freely while the
members of the jury with great
difficulty contained themselves
as the tears played about their
cheeks. When Mr.. Egan closed
Tom Dennison said, ono matter
how the jury stood before that
speech, ! am acquitted; such a
speech | have never heard"
w. j. Cornell said, "Such a
speech | have never in my life
before heard wonderful, in
deed" The Cedar Rapids Ga
zette said, "Mr. Egan's address
to the Jury was simply wonder
full; it is doubtful whether it has
ever been surpassed" The
Des Moines Capital, speaking
of the great argument, says,
Mr.. Egan's argument closing
the case for Dennison was the
most eloquent ever heard in ar
Iowa court. Many women in
the audience were moved to
tears and every member of the
Jury seemed on the verge OF
giving away to emotion
George C. Cooper, foreman of
the Jury said, "The effect of
Mr.. Egan's address was simply
indescribable." Every person
who heard this argument says
that Egan has no superior as a
court advocate in the count

Now is the dandeline season
and the owner of the fine lawn
is exasperated by the rapidity
with which these plants grow
and the number of them that
are running his lawn. It's a
difficult task to keep the dan
define in order and almost i'm.
possible one to exterminate
them. At Council Bluffs the
Illinois Central r. R. Co., has
been having such trouble in
keeping the beautiful depot
yards free from dandelines that
it has adopted extreme meas.
ures and this week has had five
men at work with knives dig
cling up the little plant by the
roots thus insuring a stoppage
in the growth of the plants now
there. That plan is about the
only feasible one. Logan Oh
server.
No use for any one person or
one company to try to extermi-
nate the dandeline. One plant
will seed an acre, and if one is
industrious and digs up the
plant on his lawn, while his
neighbor fails to do so, his crop
of dandelines in the spring viii
be just as abundent. The only
way to exterminate this pest is
to make a general war on it
We have flag days, decoration
days, independence day, and la
Dor day; now let US add dande-
line day, aday when every man,
woman and child shall give one
day to the destruction of the
