A poor halt starved burro, a
Mexican with a rawhide whip, a
barrel of water, a cart big enough
for two horses and the burro lying
on its side where it had fallen on
the slippery crossing at the inter
section of 18th and Levee streets,
was one of the sights that met a
HERALD reporter gaze early this
morning. The. burro was unable
to rise, and the Mexican was lam
basting the poor animal with all his
strength. There is a law against
wanton cruelty to animals, and If
there is a place under the sun
where it should be enforced that
place is Brownsville. Some Of the
animals hitched to the water carts
are actually so thin they have to
learn against the shafts when they
come to a halt and couldn't bray
above a whisper if their lives de-
pended on it. Of course THE
HERALD recognizes the fact that
the piperos are not able to pur-
chase much feed for their animals,
but there is no excuse for the man
ner in which some of them are
treated.

Special to Republican
Iowa City, March ga radical
change in the method of selecting the
debating teams which will in the fu-
ture represent the State University OF
Iowa, is proposed in a plan submitted
by the Hammond and Forum Literary
Societies to the other societies In. the
university. In past years there have
been the law league, so-called the COL
legiate league and the philomathian
literary society, all of which carried on
inter- university debates in the name
of the state university of Iowa. None
of the organizations CONTAINED more
than forty members and none can be
said to be in any way representative
of the ability of the university. 1t is
to remedy this that 1.-The Hammond
Forum League has proposed to the
collegiate league. consisting of the
Irving and zetigathian Literary So
cieties and to the Philomathian So
ciety, that all should come under a
single management and that hence
forth debating teams which are to
meet foreign universities in a contest,
should represent the real strength Of
the university. The plan will be acted
upon by the different organizations
during the next week.

Iowa Falls, March 29.-Orlie Tru-
man, the only son of Councilman Tru-
man of the Third ward, has just COM
pleted a new type of gasoline engine
that reflects great credit on the young
mans inventive genius and his me-
chanical skill. Having studied for
some time the construction OF gasoline
engines used on automobiles and for
lighter power, the young man, who is
a student in the high school, devised
new pattern and has made all the
models for the castings which are TO
be made soon and the engine given
test. The machine will have capac-
ity Of from one-half to one horse
power and will be more in the shape
of model to show the principle in
volved in the construction rather than
its capacity for power The young
man has long been student of me-
chanics and has made many mechani-
cal toys, but this is his first real ex-
cursion into practical mechanics.
