Sam Jones some years ago lectured
in Sigorney, Iowa, and roasted
those who signed saloon petitions.
This nice little Iowa town, with a
farming region around it makes it one
of the garden spots of the world; but
with all your blessings you can't get
along without three saloons to de-
bauch your village and ruin your boys,
because you need the money" Here
Mr.. Jones inquired of the surprised
audience. 'How much is the license
hereY Some one answered $500 per
annum for each saloon in the town.
Nine hundred dollars altogether,
resumed Jones, ''What is your popu-

speaker then did little lightning cal

Many of her business houses are mas

a modern fire proof hotel; the town is
scattered, but there is not a particle of
feeling because of it, as each side has
its advantages; and Hanover is not a
county seat town, but is situated in
Washington county. Her people, busi-
ness men and all, are too progressive

by being a county seat.

the game IS so much in favor Of the

couraged. It takes almost all the con-

The game should not have been al

come before everything else. It should
be encouraged IN every possible way
by the rule makers. The American
league made the biggest possible mis-
take in not sticking to the old cOndi-
tions. I really think it is uD to that
body to take a stand now. The Ma

NIAKING GOOD ROADS.

NJ. S. Elliott, rural carrier on route
2, came in with such q broad smile
the latter part Of the week that we
wondered what was up. We soon
found out. He said that the patrons
on route 2 had been dragging the
roads and had made them so much
better that he had made his rounds
in a half hour less time than usual.
He says it made a wonderful differ
ence in the roads, at one place espe-
cially where Thompson Bros. dragged
a mile of road with u railroad iron,
with a team on each end, the outside
team a few feet ahead, on the prin-
cip1e of the King drag. he says this
mile of road was made equal to a race
track. Zac McCIaren also did some
good work on a. half mile of road, with
a King split log drag. Others along
the line dragged the roads with steel
harrows with the teeth laid fiat and

were VIII Curry, quarter mile,

HAD s22.210 STORED AWAY.
Money Found in All Odd Nooks Of
Mrs. Iiondergan's Home.


The fact that the late Mrs Londer-
gan was one of the wealthiest women
in the county has been pretty indelf-
bly, impressed upon the minds Of the
people of this community, but no one
ever supposed that there would be
found in almost every other corner of
her house. piles of money that had
apparently been there for many years
For some time Mrs. Londegan had
been withdrawing large sums of money
from the bank and it was expected that
$4,000 or $1,000 might be found.
Early Friday morning While Mr..
P. Scanlan, who had been made ad-
mfnfstrator of the estate, was looking
about the house, he found $500 in cur
rency wrapped up In 6. quilt and later
$500 more in gold and currency was
found IN a satchel Later there was
found in a closet off the bedroom Of
Mrs. Londergan a still larger sum OF
money. This was found in a shoe box,
a tin box and a coffee canister and
amounted to s17, $50. The total sum
found about the house. which amount

Structure 265 Feet Long on Wander
bilt's Newport Farm.

DIX s Newport EaIIll.
Newport. r. l., March 21.-On his
country place at Newport. which he
calls Oakland Farm. Alfred G. Van
derbilt is building the largest private
riding ring IN the world. The structure
Is 265 feet long, 125 feet wide, and
from the ground to the peak Of the
roof sixty-four feet high.
Primarily the riding ring is for
training horses that Mr.. Vanderbilt
buys each spring for his season of
public road coaching around this city
with his coaches Valiant and VoIun-
teer, but besides this it is to be used
for giving private horse shows in the
season" at Newport, for amateur cir
cuses and for country fairs" When
the building is finally completed, about
June i, the owner Of Oakland Farm
and its chatelaine proposes to open the
riding ring with an entertainment of a
thoroughly horsey character that is
calculated to make even the blase
Newport set "sit up"
Big buildings are not uncommon on
Mr. Vanderbilt's farm. The stable
itself is large enough to accommodate
power house with two dynamos that
produce sixty horse power But the
new riding ring simply dwarfs the
other buildings on the farm. It is a
huge gambrel-roOfed structure built Of
steel framework sheathed with wood
to make 1t fit in as much as possible
with the general appearance of the
other buildings on the farm"
The ring is connected with the
stables by a converted arcade, so that
not matter how bad the weather is the
horses may be walked from the stalls
into the ring without being in danger
of getting wet or catching cold. Also
this covered way keeps the coaches
and other traps from being sofled by
mud. The ring proper is 100 feet wide
and 200 feet long or nearly the saue
dimensions as that in Madison Square
