q Grand Army visitors will find much
to amuse and entertain them in HThe
Last Days Of Pompeii," which the
Twin City Amusement company an
nounces for an engagement of six
nights, commencing tomorrow night, on
the Parade, opposite Loring park.
OF all Of the pyrotechnic productions
which Mr.. Pain has made in the last
thirty years, none has lasted in public
prestige and popularity like the "Last
Days Of Pompeii." For several days
q force Of twenty electrical construc-
tors has been at work installing the
light and the electrical apparatus for
use in the big spectacle. Early this
morning, the special train bearing the
performers, together with the scenery,
costumes, and seating; eparaphernalia,
will reach Minneapolis. Nearly two
hundred workmen will be busy placing
the scenery to represent the ruined Ro-
man city of Pompeii.
This scenic city will cover an area
of nearly FIVE acres Of ground, and will
picture the gay city as it stood before
fhe awful catastrophe nearly two thou
sand years ago.

j. H.. j. Pain, the fireworks king, pre-
sents all Of the magnificent effects,
those wierdly beautiful and grandly
terrifying features of volcanic erup-
tions as seen in Mount Vesuvius' ac-
tions, and presents the scene so vividly
and true to nature as to beggar de-
scription. One sees the clouds Of flame,
smoke and ashes, the floods of hot lava,
which belched from the crater and fall,
ing down it's towering sides; hears the
thunderous noise Of the mountain, the
incessant earthquake shocks and the
falling Of immense quantities Of MAJ
terial, completely burying the city,
while the gaily dressed multitude rush;
hither and thither in mad but inef-
fective effort to escape.
The gay city of A. D. 10 is beauti-
fully pictured on thousands Of square
yards of scenery, actual buildings Of
ancient style Of architecture occupy the
foreground, while Yesuvius towers IN
the distance. Many people on this pie
turesque street of Pompeii await the
arrival of the grand procession and
the commencement of the days sport
in honor Of Isis, their favorite goddess.

son was unavoidable, who are gifted
voice, with such a true ring, as Miss
Osborn $. One was tempted to believe
that her forte lay in bravura rolls. but
this was, however,, erroneous. The
singer was as perfectly accomplished in
the dreamy, the tender, plaintive and
gently pensive, as the jubilant passages.
Miss Osborn is a songstress with a
God-given voice, that even now has
attained it's height Of ringing beauty;
singing without affectation, but with
deep feeling, proving that she is richly
endowed with the necessary powers Of
vocal control, namely, temperament and
soulfulness. ~

Miss Osborn 3, winning personality

Projected Plan Will Be Railway
Enterprise, Capitalized at
$1O0,o0O,O00
RESULT OF NEW RATE LAW
Proposed Corporation, Whose Object
Will be to Furnish Refriserators and
Other Rolling Stock, Will be Owned
BY Railroads, and Profits D1vied Pro
Rat-Private Lines Must 60.

Chicago. Oct. 9.-Plans are on foot
for the organization Of gigantic rail-
way equipment company, the object OF
which will be to take the place of pri-
vate car companies such as Armours
in furnishing refrigerator, live stock
and other special kinds of cars to the
railways at the seasons during which
they are required by the different lines.
1t is proposed to capitalize the pro-
jected company for $100,000,000. 1t
will be not private but strictly rail-
way enterprise, the stock Of the cor
poration being held by the various rail-
way companies and the profits prorated
among them.
The plans for the equipment COM
pany are being worked out by ]. w.
Midgely, of Chicago, car service ex-
pert, who probably has cracked more
hard nuts for the railway companies
than any other man in the country
Mr.. Midgely declined yesterday to say
just what steps had been taken or what
railway companies are the chief back
ers of the scheme He said, however,
that his plans had received the appro-
val of the high officials of several OF
the biggest railroads in the country,
that good deal of progress had been
made In working out the details, and
that he felt confident the proposed
company would be in existence within,
few months at most.
The necessity for a great central
car company has been in large measure
created by the passage of the new rate
law. The law makes the private car
companies common carriers and re-
quires the railways to publish in thei,
tariffs all charges made for icing and
other services incident to transporta-
ton. The effect Of these provisions
has been at once to render the BUSH
ness of the private companies less
profitable and to make the railways
less disposed to use their equipment.
It is felt. however. that the
purchase by each line Of all the
special equipment which it will require
at certain seasons of the year would
involve needlessly large expenditure.
The same cars, as the operations of the
private car companies have shown,
be employed at different times in all
parts Of the country. They may be
sent to Michigan in July and August
when the peach movement is on. They
may be sent to Florida and California
in fall and winter when the time comes
for the movement Of fruit it. from th2se
states They are required to haul veg
etables from the south at one season
and from the north at another. Live
stock cars, similarly, are needed at diff
ferent parts Of the country at different
times of the year.
A private corporation, with j. p.
Morgan as it's chief hacker, was pros
jected four years ago to take over all
the private car lines and serve as a
central equipment company, but it was
unable to carry out it's plans because
of the indisposition of the packers to
part with their car systems. which
were then source Of enormous profit
to them.

WHAT'S IN A NAME.
Too Many "Wolfes" Among Democrats
of Clinton County.


Special to Tllnes-Ke1uhucan.
Clinton, Oct. 9.-The Clinton county
democrats recently placed in nomipa-
ton John L. Wolfe, of this city, as
their candidate for the office of repre-
sentative from this end of the county.
L. S. Harrington. of Dewitt, is the
nominee from the west end. One pc
culiarity of the convention was the
fact that John L. Wolfe and R. B.
Wolfe were both balloted on for rep
resentative. r. B. Wolfe is an uncle
of the young man who secured the
nomination. The latter is a son of eX-
Judge P. B. Wolfe, of the Clinton dis
trict court, and is member Of the
law firm of Wolfe & Wolfe. He is in
Europe, whittier he werf about year
ago to study language, and will not
return to this country until January ].
1907, so will not take part in the cam
paign. Should he be elected he wild
reach home just in time to take his
oath of office next winter.
Harrington, the second democratic
nominee for representative, has Wite-
drawn from the ticket, on account OF
the illness of his wife, and the dem-
ocratic central committee is busy Sc
lecting his successor.

Gait, Oct. 9.-The Northwestern
Company, which has discontinued work
on the gravel pit here, will noe resume
operations until next spring. During
the summer months a vast amount Of
gravel has been hauled out, there be-
ing an average of 400 cars day. It

but they were unable to do so this
season.
The track between Sterling and Nor
rison was practically reballasted, and
the grade west of the city was raised
about four feet. this being done 50
that there would be no future troubles
at the place on account of high water,
condition that existed last spring:
over a thousand carloads of gravel
were used in raising the track, and
many carloads OF stone. The grade
was widened about six feet, several

Executive Council Proposes Plan to
Citizens for Buying It.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Oct. 9.-The executive
council has informally decided to allow
the citizens of Des Moines who oppose
the sale of tfirty-nine acres of the
state fair grounds for the purpose of
raising funds with which to purchase
the seven acres next to the Rock Is
land tracks, to buy the seven
acres and lease 1t to the state
fair on an arrangement that will pro-
tect the states interest till the legis-
lature can buy the land. If the Des
Moines citizens can not buy the land
at a reasonable price, the council Will
likely in few days condemn the land,
and allow the citizens Of Des Moines to
advance the money with which to pur-
chase the seven acres. It Is evident
that the state fair is going to need all
the land it can get in few years and
the necessity will probably arise for 1t
to acquire the twenty acres to the
north Of the race track as we'll as the
seven acres to the south of the pres
ent grounds.
