It has, with the assistance OF its

other insurance, membranes and
a host of other things, simple afii-

Of the states In adopting fair and

reading OF It, without hiring a lawyer

The existance of the free railway

In the prohibitions of the new Iowa
state law. The railroads In Iowa
have come to an agreement to make
the antipass provisions of the new
interstate commerce law effective
within the state, although they apply
only to interstate transportation,
Representatives OF the railroads In
Des Moines have been advised that
for the sake of uniformity the roads
will observe the interstate provisions
regarding free passes on both inter-
state and state business. The only
persons to whom free transportation
will be granted in this state hereafter
are such persons as are excepted IN
the Interstate act and only In SUCH
cases where those persons did noe
come within the prohibitions or the
state anti.pass law.
The now Interstate commerce law
| provides that mo common carrier sub
| ject to the provisions OF this act shall,
after January 1, 1907, directly or in-
| directly, issue any interstate free tick
ct, free pass, or free transportation
for passengers, except to employees
! and their families and for certain
specified religious and charitable pur'
poses. II might be inferred rom rnis
that the roads could and therefore
would continue to issue free passes
as of yore until January l. but tho
roads and their attorneys take a diff
fenertn view OF the matter.
The railroads In taking this action
as regards passes within the state are
Influenced chiefly no doubt by the
fact that It is to their financial interest
to do SO. While the issuance OF free
transportation to tho general public.
aside from that issued to public ono
ials, has been limited, nevertheless II
has been the practice Of many of tho
roads to issue passes In liberal
amounts to influential shippers and
other persons with whom the roas
has dealings.

condition that came to light when
Deputy Clerk Rossiter completed his
report on Polk county weddings since
January 1, 1905. The total number OF
marriage returns was 1872. This
report covers the space from January

At about this time the country was

lily. Some three miles from the city
there had lived for five years the ia
Their, two sons and a daughter. But
little was known Of them, although the
neighbors frequently speculated on
their means of earning a livelihood.
One night farmer named Goodrich
was returning to his home late from a
visit to a distant relative, when he
met in the dark road a team. The
road was narrow, so that In passing
he was able to see the occupants Of
the other vehicle. He recognized
them as the old man McNamee and
his daughter He was somewhat sur
prised to notice that the girl was
dressed in mans clothes, but still
more surprised to see that muffied
figure sat between them. He stopped
and asked a few commonplace ques-
tons, to which" he received surly re-
plies. At this point McNamee's horse
started, and as he did so threw the
hat from the head of the third figure.
Goodrich nearly fell from his wagon
as he recognized the set features Of
young Wilbur Hill, who had been
buried few days before.
Goodrich, pale from fright, hurried
home and reused the neighbors. They
opened the grave, which had but late
ly been filled, and found 1t empty. A
search of the house of the McNamees
revealed spades, ropes and all the
other paraphernalia of grave robbing.
Further investigation of the grave
yard showed that many other bodies
were missing, and some of these were
later discovered at Ann Arbor Medical
school. The McNamees were arrested
and imprisoned after a speedy trial.

Absolute equality of treatment at
the hands Of the railroads would go
far toward gripping the trust, and l
rejoice that the president has had the
courage to press the question upon
congress. While the law, as 1t was
finally distorted by the senate, is not
all that could be wished, it deserves
a fair trial"
"If an appointed board has the
power to fix rates and can, by the
decrease by hundreds of millions OF
dollars, will not the railroads feel that
they have large pecuniary interest in
the election of a president friendly to
the railroads."
