CONTROL EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS
Management Of All Concerns Will
Pass Into Hands of Iowa
State Officials.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 15.-The
management of employment bureaus
may pass entirely into the hands OF
the state. At least such is the pur-
pose of a bill introduced in the SEN
ate today by Hayward Of Scott
county The bill is in line with a
recommendation in the last annual re-
port of State Labor Commissioner
Brigham, and provides that such bu-
reaus snail be in charge of a local
commissioner, who shall be under
the direction of the state labor COM
missioner.
A fee of so cents is to be charged
applicants obtaining permanent en-
ployment and 10 cents for temper
airy employment. Compensation for
the local commissioners will be fixed
by the state labor commissioner sub
ject to the approval of the executive
council. Another condition of the
bill is that philanthropic cities shall
provide suitable quarters without ex-
pense to the state

RATES GO INTO EFFECT
Cheap Fares to Pacific Coast Inaug-
urated Today by the Rail-
roads.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 15.-In ac-
cordance with the decision of the
Transcontinental Passenger associa-
ton at its meeting last fall the colo
nists rates to the Pacific coast went
into effect today. This is fifteen days
earlier than usual, the opening date
for the last few years having been
March 1.
The establishment of the colonists'
rates by the transcontinental rail-
roads resulted in heavy movements to
the Pacific coast. Whether the ear
lier date will result in an increase of
business remains to be seen. It is
said that the earlier date was select
ed on the request of the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern, the Bur-
lington and the Union Pacific lines,
while the Santa Fee line was opposed
to change of date. It was main
tanned by the northern roads that the
earlier date would give settlers a
chance to get on the ground early
enough to cultivate their land in the
spring in time to get some yield from
it for that season. The fact that the
settlers will be able to do this and
thus save practically whole year,
may cause many prospective colo
nists to go west

who lived near Boulder lake. His
liweless body was found half buried
in snow a mile from his cabin by

Hanson he was going to Duluth to get
papers and some provisions. When
he did not return, Hanson came to

turned and searched the territory in

NO TRACE OF MISSING MAN.
Son Of Christopher Sven Will Aid
Police in Solving Mystery.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. IS
Knut Sven of Sioux City, the son of
Christopher Sven, the farmer who
mysteriously disappeared more than
a week ago, has arrived on the
ground and is aiding the police in
their efforts to unravel the mystery
surrounding the fate and present
whereabouts of the missing man. AL
though not the slightest trace of Sven
cally abandoned the theory that he
was murdered and the body hidden.
The missing man had only about for
ty dollars with him when he came to
Sioux Falls, and most Of this had
been expended before ne disappeared,
so it is difficult to believe that he
was murdered for his money.
The police are now working on two
theories. One is that he wandered
away from the city while temporari-
ly insane and the other that he was
enticed away by someone for pur-
poses known only to themselves.
Those who have known the missing
man for many years say he was of
a peculiar disposition and was easily
influenced by those who gained his
confidence.
The missing man weighs about $50
pounds, is about As years of age and
is Of peculiar appearance. He Is
loose-jointed, and has an odd walk

Three National Legislators Lay
Claim to That Distinction.
CONGRESSMAN CUSHMAA IS ONE
HONOR is ALSO THRUST ON
SPEAKER CANNON AND SENA-
TOR CULLOM BY FRIENDS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Ever
since the civil war men in public life
have prided themselves, when other
wise their physiognomy was painfully
plain in resembling Lincoln. Just
now there are three men in congress
that lay rival claims to being the only
real genuine replica of Lincoln, and
their various friends never let an op
portunity pass to press their leaders
merits.
Representative Cushman, of Wash
ington, said to be the nomeliest man
on the floor of the house, is now sail
ing under the nickname of 1.-The Abe
Lincoln of the Pacific" while Speak
er Cannon and Senator Cullom, both
from Lincolns state, are Cushman's
worthy contestants. It's a pity, peo-
pie say, that they did not live in
different ages, that each might strut
upon the stage and speak his piece,
Behold in me that which made Abe
Lincoln famous" and pass On to re-
tirement unchallenged and in peace.
Cushman Is One.
No one thought so much of Cush-
man resembling Lincoln when the
Washingtonian came to the house. In
fact, few people in the capital thought
much of anything about the new
member, as is nearly always the case
when the kid arrives, but one day
Cushman made them sit up and take
notice. He made a speech which set
the country giggling. Cushman was
in the limelight. Then it was seen
that he was a No. 1 Lincoln; that is,
Lincoln when he was smooth faced.
The next time Cushman let loose his
wit in the house, every one acknowl-
edged they had always thought he
looked like Lincoln
Speaker Cannon has almost enough
renown from his position to satisfy
his vanity. The speakership was the
goal of his life. He is quite modest
about resembling Lincoln. Last
month Secretary of War Taft met
Speaker Cannon at a reception.
You resemble Lincoln, Mr.. Speak
er, more every day." said the secre
tary.
whisper that, Mr.. Secretary" was
the response from Cannon. Should
Uncle Shelby hear that it would break
his heart. Don't you know that has
been his stock in trade for twenty
years.
Senator Cullom has a cute way Of
acknowledging mis- resemblance.
When any one reminds him of the
resemblance to Lincoln he invariably
responds: so many people have told
me; 1 believe he was considered the
homeliest man in America"
One day a quakeress asked Cullom
to do something for her Friend,
thee somewhat resembles Mr. Lin
coin" She repeated her request and
it was granted. AS she was leaving,
she said. Friend, thee very much
resembles Mr.. Lincoln

Song Drives Man to Drink.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb 15.-The
song Everybody Works but Father
was one of the discordant elements
in the domestic life of Robert Leh-
mann of this city, which drove MIN to
two unsuccessful attempts at sui
eide. Tears trickled down Lehmann's
cheeks as he told his story to the
judge in police court today.
Let me die, judge" he begged
There is nothing in life for me to
live for. You see, it's this way" he
continued with a sorrowful gulp. Il
used to have wife and four children.
A couple of months ago whenever
would go home I heard them singing
that song Everybody Works but
Father 1 knew that they were
throwing it up to me all the time, and
that is why 1 began drinking"
Three weeks ago Mrs. Lehman Sc
cured a divorce, and since that time
the man has been Respondent Twice
yesterday afternoon, within a half
hour, he attempted to take his life,
first by poison and as a last resort by
drowning. A friend caught him in
the act Of taking arsenic powders and
turned him over to Constable Wicker.
AS the officer was leading his prisoner
across the bridge, the latter made an
effort to jump into the river. Wicker
caught him at the rail.

action and speech. He has dark hair

the time of his disappearance wore a
poorly fitting suit of clothes.

lily are much alarmed over his pro-
longed absence.

PASS It OVER MEAD'S VETO
Bill to Protect City Taxes Has a
Chance still.
Mr., LINDSEY SUGGESTS ONE PLAN
TAKE 1T UP AGAIN WHEN LEG
IsLATURE MEETS AND CAR
RY OVER VETO.
Mr.. LINDSEY SUGGESTS ONE plan

There is only one thing to do tc
save the cities and towns in the state
from immense losses on account OF
foreclosure of property against whlcf
there are special improvement liens
and that is to bass House Bill No. Al
over Governor Mead's veto,'' states
Joseph B. Lindsay, father of the bill
Which passed at the last session of the
legislature only to be vetoed by Mead
after the session had adjourned, says
the Spokane Chronicle.
Spokane and the other cities of the
state have lost great deal of money
through the working of the old law
AS matters stand now the general tax
lien is paramount to all others and
when property is foreclosed under the
general tax lien the cities and towns
are cut out of any special improve
ment taxes that may nave been charg-
ed against the property.
City May Lose Thousands.
I'm hard times this city lost a great
deal on account of the foreclosure of
property under the general tax lien
The city officials were not diligent in
enforcing the payment of the special
improvement taxes and as result the
bonds issued by the city went beg
ging at 40 and SO cents on the dollar.
city was placed badly in debt. Hard
times may come again and then under
the existing conditions the city VIII
stand to lose a great deal of money.
Il know of cases where individual
owners against whom the city had
charges for local improvements pro-
cured friends to purchase their prop
erty On general tax delinquency. The
special Improvement tax was then
wiped out. Later the original owner
bought his property back freed from
liens formerly held by the city.
Too Many Spectators.
1.-The bill which I introduced and
which was passed was vetoed On ac-
count of the opposition against it
who speculated in property of this
sort. The bill was aimed at these
spectators in particular and had for
its purpose the shutting out of spec
ulators to the damage of the cities and
towns. Under the bill as passed the
revenues Of the state were not af-
fected. The bill set out that no per-
son other than a county could fore
close a general tax certificate until he
had paid the special improvement
taxes levied against it. The object of
the bill was to protect the cities and
towns which pay the greater portion
of the general taxes. The bill would
put decided stop to spectators,
would not injure the revenues of the
state in the least, and would save the
cities thousands of dollars which are
now lost through foreclosure of gen
eral tax delinquencies.
Il feel that the bill can be passed
over the veto of the governor if the
sentiment Of the coming legislature is
the same as that of the old one which
passed the bill.
