FIELD CLUB POLITICS MIXED
Ben II. white Refuses 20 Ne Candi-

In Field club affairs the plot is thickeu-
ing. Ben T. White, the unwilling candidate
for president, has returned home and en-
phaticaliy declares that when he wired his
refusal he meant what he said ]. b.
Blanchard, the other regularly nominated
candidate, states that he Is Indifferent to

find member who will accept that Office
without protest. The friends OF the men.
however. are not listlessly engaged in the
campaign and Wednesdays. vote promises
to be close. Mr.. White, by persevering in
his modesty. may leave his opponent en-

tive left the Blanchard men. the radi-
calls they might be called would be 70

name cannot now be oficially withdrawn,

the prospective vice president, in the execu-
tive chair
Some Of Mr. WhiteS supporters are in
clined to consider the actions OF the other
party rs a little more than shrewd. The
telegram which was sent that gentleman
while in California reached him so late that
his reply could not ofncially scratch his
name from the ballot This, Il is said. was
intended to embarrass the radicals with a
reluctant leader. That purpose has sue
ceeded, but their opponents are determined
that last years vice president shall not
advance to take the place of Mr.. Foster
this y<ar. The desire for an interesting
election seems to be the principal reason
for desiring to defeat that gentleman. The
elders OF the club are trying their best to
smooth the tempers that are being rufiled
here and there, and deplore the tempest
which darkens the horizon. All are confident
that after the election the clouds win scat

NUMBER OF FATAL ACCIDENTS ARE LESS
Fraction Over TtSenty-Three Miles OF
new steam Roads end sIxty-Three
MILES Of Electric Lines Con-
structed DurIns Year.
(From q san Correspondent.l

DIES MONIES. Ia, Dec. A-(special.) --Ac-
cording TO the annual report Of the State
Board of Railroad commissioners filed with
the governor today, both the gross and
net earnings of the railroads OF Iowa show
an Increase over that of last year though
the high water mark of 1892 is not reached.
Only 1875 miles of new line was built dur
ing the year ending June 80 1906 and OF
this 1880 miles was erected by the Chicago,
Ansmosa Northern, a new corporation
operating a road from Anamosa to Coggon,
and the balance was due to changes and
additions in old lines. The total mileage
IN the state is therefore 9.S26.T and tho
gross earnings were SIS, 4Ss, 9is.l5, while a
year ago they were s57.692.O95.1O. The high
water mark was reached in the state In
1907 when the gross earnings were. s5s.i7O-
1854 The operating expenses for the year
were su.s54.55t.77. a decrease from A2,6si-
O6O.S5 of the year before. which was the
high water mark in operating expenses. The
net earnings increased to, s16 is2,S5s.Ss and
the year before were tiA9ss, Osi.25. The net
earnings per mile are N.6572s. an increase
from $.5zs,s6 the high water mark being
in 1880. when the earnings per mile were
s2lS.
The number of cars has increased from
automatic coupler from 2S0,559 TO 2s4,54S;
cars equipped with power or train brake
from 2S7.24S to 246,O7e; number Of employees
from 3S5OS to S9.57S; injuries from coupling
cars decreased from IS to IS; killed coupling
cars from 10 to 5; killed falling from cars
from 20 to IL injured falling from trains
from 147 to- 1O2.
In the line of accidents there is also
good showing the number of accidents TO
passengers resulting in deaths decreased
from Il to I; to employees from 80 to ~;
others from 11S to lO9: accidents resulting
in injuries to passengers decreased from
20i to 14s; to employees from las to 1876,
and to others increased from 12s to 100.
While the number of employees increased
! from 3s5OS to S9.S7s. the total paid in COM
pensation for wages was decreased from
$25, s2S Ice 20 to So 177l29.55. and the average
\ daily compensation decreased from $40 to
| 500. This Is partly accounted for by the
! claim that during the year there has been
considerable amount Of cheap help en-
| ployed. such as shovelers i'm improvements
of the rOadbed and other property. =.
! During the year ended June 80. 1865, there
was erected total of eS6i2 miles of addi-
tional electric interurban railways The
new lines are the Cedar Rapids & Iowa
| City. 1913 miles. and the Iowa & Illinois
! operating from Davenport to Clinton, 36.0l2
miles The report shows that three inter
locking devices have been installed during
| the year by railroads crossing at grade
| These are at Rockwell City. Iowa Falls
and Spencer. There are now, but few roads
in the state crossing at grades that are
not protected with the -interlocking devise.

RIGHT FROM HILL CITY.
Amusing Account of the Passing of
Nose Wins.


Nose Wins.
Nose Wins, The colored gentleman who
constitutes the Hill City waterworks, and
who for years has dispensed barrels of
moisture throughout the city at TO cents
per dispense, and who is also noted for
starving two or three horses to such an
extent that they sought pastures green IN
the sweet and brighter over there, now
languishes in the county bastile.
The occasion which caused Brudder
Nose to take this little vacation from his
wet labor was the shifting of the wife Of
his bosom yer the c%ocoanut with a moist
elm club. while the aforesaid partner Of
his bed and board hung fast by one leg,
out of the window of their home, sweet
home.
It seems that this little temporary rifle
in their happy home was caused by Mrs.
Wins heaving out into the cold world an
empty tin can which. at one time, had
been the property of Mrs. Wins No. J.
and while Nose did not seem to care for
the financial waste Occasioned by the cast
ing out of the tin can, yet fond memories,
rooted deep in his loving giZZard, had so
entWined themselves around about TINS
output of some tomato n that the
shock made him grow rude and angry
The lady's howls for succor brought
help, and before rudde Nose had lam
basted her more than 'steen times, he was
interrupted in his sport and dragged
hence.-HiI City Republican.

If you will observe the following
rules you may smoke as much as you
like without any harm.
In the first place, smoke a good
cigar. In the second place never light
a cigar the second time. The other
rules are never to stay in a cloud of
smoke, and never chew the end of a
cigar.
The first rule to smoke a good cigar,
of course. means to smoke a Wads-
worth Bros Chico. for which Geo. w

Although h Chico cigar is made
with a long clear Havana filler, says
Mr.. Stansfeld, "and is equal in flavor,
fragrance, and all qualities that go to
make a good smoke to any of the ten

only five cents.

FOR MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL.
Board of Regents Hunting a Site at
Pitfsburg.

P%ittsburg. Kan, April 1.-THE
board of regents of the Manual Train
ing Normal school came to Pittsburg
with $4,000 in their pockets, hgur-
atively speaking, to spend for a site
for the buildings which the state will
some day erect in Pittsburg for the
Manual Training Normal school. The
day was spent in driving about the
city and visiting the various sites
where the normal might be located. IT
is desired to purchase a tract of at
least 10 acres and perhaps more for
the normal site, as it is expected that
in time the normal will require sew
eral buildings as well as a large
campus, athletic field. etc. One site
visited today was Lincoln park.
