OF course, any girl would prefer a
handsome and well-built fellow to hol-
low-chested or freckie-faced or effemi-
nate man, other things being equal;
but would much rather have honely
husband with good moral qualities,
wide knowledge, many-sided character,
fat bank account, than a handsome
husband who lacked one OF those
characteristics, writes Chicago uni
versity girl in Good Housekeeping. A
number of my school aud college
friends have married within the last
five OR six years and l have had rather
a good opportunity to observe some
thing OF modern married life. can
not say that the husbands of my friends
are lacking in good moral qualities.
M ost of them are good men and have
several admirable traits, the chief one
being fondness for family and home.
But most of them are totally lacking in
the second, third and fourth points,
which think are Indispensable. They
are men of ordinary intelligence, but
lack the training which makes liberal
thinkers and public-spirited citizens.
Then the bank account! While 1
would never advocate marriage for
money, cannot bring myself to be
lieve that it is right to marry without
it. A good position is better than
nothing, but it is not.necessarily stable.
A few thousand dollars saved up before
marriage, is very desirable thing. II
people cannot save before marriage,
how car they after, when expenses are
bound to increase? If there is not a
reasonable stock of capital upon which
to depend in case of necessity, there is
only a posi- bility, but by no means a
probability that a couple will maintain
the high standard of living at which
they ought to aim.

A large crowd from the surrounding

who did attend went away with the
knowledge that there was not the

The day passed off without the slight

found necessary to make an arrest by
either one of the two deputy sheritfs
that were ON the look out for disturb

satisfaction is to say that not casualty

The program for the day was carried
out without hitch.
The procession started at a. M,
headed by the Cashmere and Leaven-

and urged the youth of our laud to in
dulge in these patriotic demonstra-
tions with sense of the obligations We
are under to the founders of our
government.
During the rendering of the program
the band played frequent patriotic airs.
At 11:30 the crowd all went down to
the river bank to witness the log roll
ing contest which was to conclude the
morning exercises. Sam Pond won the
first prize. He succeeded in giving
his adversary several duckings. to the
intense amusement OF the crowd that
witnessed the contest. Pond scarcely
got his feet wet, though he made the
log spin around in the water like top.
The afternoon exercises began with a
foot race. L. E. Payne, of Cashmere,
won the tifty-yard foot race, with r. I.
King close second, w. Cooney, Robt.

The sack race was won by a young
man from Cashmere, whose name we
failed to learn. Nels Sorensen was In
this race but he could only get one foot
in the sack and they ruled him out.
A fat mans race was gotten up for
the benefit of AL Pesch and Postmaster

butted into this race, but as penalty
for failing to come up to the required
girth they were both made to stand ten
feet behind the other two at the start.
The prize, which was leather medal.
was awarded to Mr.. Pesch.
In the race for Indian ponies we could
not make out who won. We only made
out that the Indian that rode the sorrel

The girls race was won by Mabel

second prize.
The pony race was won by Clyde

ship Question In Next City Election.
"By private ownership of the public
utilities, there is now being taken from
the citizens of Seattle not less than
$1,000, 600 per year aud shipped East"
said John E Humphries, in an address
delivered recently before the Green
Lake improvement Club. ''It is i'm
poverishing the citizens. 1t is taking
the money out of circulation that ought
to be retained here. 1t is impeding
the progress of the city. 1t is injuring
the prosperity. 1t is holding back our
manufacturing interests, and, In fact,
is injuring US in every way. If the
people will commence vigorous cam
paign for municipal ownership at once,
within the next two years they can own
the street car system, the telephone
system and can properly operate the
electric light plant and the water plant;
and when this is done, it will bring
more population to the city than all the
rustling clubs of advertisers that can
be gotten up"
Mr.. Humphries cited street car, teie-
phone and other rates in cities where
such institutions are under public
ownership. Seattle P.-I.

Meets Strange Accident.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, July 6.-Harry Moore.
the IA -year-old son of M. A. Moore, the
East Fifteenth street grocer, was the
victim Of an unusual Fourth of July
accident Tuesday afternoon while
standing in front Of his home, $50 East
Fifteenth street, Davenport.
The young man was standing on the
sidewalk as street car was passing
east along the street about o'clock
at time when a number of boys and
young men were placing explosives and
torpedoes on the track.
AS car was directly in front Of
the store, a missile struck him on the
right cheek near the cheek bone, and
entered the flesh q distance of about
one inch.
The young man was stunned for a
few seconds. AS the blood spurted
forth from the incision he placed his
handkerchief to the wound, and has
tened into the house, where DR.. j. s..
Weber was called.
He responded and cleansed the
wound, and returned later in the even
ing and again yesterday morning.
Tuesday evening Mrs. Moore, while
washing his handkerchief, found a
small particle of lead, evidently part

THE RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.
The Executive Council Will Begin
Hearings July 10 and II.

Specfal TO I1meS-RepuD1caH.
Des Moines, July 6.-The state exec
utive council will take up the consider
alton of the assessment of the railroad
property of the state for taxation, this
month. An open hearing has been fix
ed for July 10 and IL. at which time
representatives of the railroads will
be given an opportunity to make arg
ument with respect to the taxation of
their property. AS rule the railroads
do not ask for reductions but direct
their attention to asking that their
existing assessment be not increased.
In the last three years the assess
ment of railroads in Iowa has been in
creased by the council 20 per cent and
now is practically s5s,o0o,o00, being
valued at four times this figure, or
about $4,000 a mile. The railroads of
the whole nation are capitalized in the
form Of stocks and bonds at $4,000 a
mile. The gross earnings Of the rail-
roads in the whole nation are Sc per
cent higher than the gross earnings
within Iowa, as reported. II they are
worth on the average $4,000 per mile
within Iowa--at which they are now
assessed--on a basis Of gross earnings
the railroads of the whole nation would
be worth Sc per cent more, or $4,000
mile instead Of $4,000, at which they,
are capitalized.
The railroads Of Iowa reported gross
earnings for the past year about ST.
00O,000 under the gross earnings Of the
year before. But their net earnings
increased about 100000. The net
earnings were s15,345,574. These net
earnings, capitalized at s per cent
would make the railroads worth about
1855, 100000 and on this basis they
would be assessed at $64,000,00O in
stead Of $5S,OOO,OOO If the net earn
sings were capitalized at per cent
the usual figure-the roads would be

First Few Steps Will Not be Purely

curing Title in the Future.

Chicago, July 6.-Mayor Dunno told
the city council last night his plans for
the municipal ownership of traction
properties 1t was not municipal own
ership, absolutely, but, the mayor ex-
planned, it was the nearest thing pos
sible under existing conditions. 1t
provides for the Incorporation Of a
company managed by five men who
command the confidence of the people
of Chicago TO this company will be
granted a twenty year franchise COW

OF the old company have already ex-
pired or will soon expire. 1t will be
stocked to an amount necessary to es-
tablish street car system estimated
at 24O miles. No bonds will be sold.
The stock will be deposited with a
trust company and sold by popular
subscription. Any time the city can
take over the property on the apprais-
ed valuation.
