made all arrangements for the regis
tration for the lands of the Grow res
ervation, which will be drawn July

fered exceptionally low rates to those
wishing to take chance in Uncle
Sans big lottery. m
The rate will be one fare for the
round trip from nearby points, where
the regular one way fare Is $50 or
less. From all other Burlington route
points it will be rs per cent. of the one
way fare, but not less than 500. This

a fare for the round trip.
The tickets will be sold June 10 to
26 inclusive, with return limit till
July 10. All lodging places, will be
listed and committees at each town
will meet the eXcursionists.
The mayor of Billings has wired the
Burlington that everything will be
done to take care Of the registration
crowd and he will take personal
charge of the police force. Tents
with board floors will be laid out in
the streets, and booths will be con-
structed. The mayor says that Bill
ings will be able to take care Of 49,
900 people at any time.
Sheridan has also advised the Bur

are being made to take care of the
crowds for registration. The location
Of every available room will be filed,
while cots. bedding and tents sufficient
to accommodate small army will be
secured from Fort Mackenzie. Fine
camping grounds will be prepared.
Hotels and eating houses are stock
Ing up and will be prepared to take
care Of all that come. The police
force is taking measures to eliminate
all undesirable elements, such as
thugs and gamblers. The Chamber
of Commerce and city council are
taking vigorous measures to insure

ARE SMOKING CIGARETTES.
Boys and Girls in Council Bluffs
Schools BEING Investigated.

Council Bluffs-Reports of cigar
ette~ smoking among gi7>s as we'll as
boys in the Council Bluffs high
school during the past year have
stirred up parents and the board OF
education to the inquiring stage. 1t
is claimed that youthful devotees OF
nicotine representing both sexes are
numerous, although the girls are
naturally more secretive about smok-
ing than are the boys. The school
authorities have done all they coula
to discourage the tendency, but the
teachers found themselves unable to
stamp out the practice.
) The smoking habit has spread to
the. middle grades, and instances
have come to light where boys OF ene
first and second grades are addicted
to the use of cigarettes or pipes. A
,teacher not long ago learned that
some of the boys in her charge, aged
g to 10 years, were wont to meet in
AN alley and hold peace council,
Indian fashion, which carried with it
the ceremonial Of smoking pipes.
She made the boys 60 OUT with nei
and show her where the pipes were
hidden. A number of them were
picked up under fences and in other
places, and several sacks of tobacco
were also confiscated.

MANY PASSENGERS INJURED.
Wreck on Rock Island at Marine Does
Consjde rable Damaqe.


Considerable Damage.
Des Moines.-Eleven people, five
OF them from Des Moines, were in
jured in a wreck ON the Rock Island
at Marne on Thursday night, when
the new fast train, the Iowa Limit
ed" recently put on by the road, met
its first disaster in head-on coll
lsion with the Colorado Flyer
The injuries in all cases were con-
fined to minor cuts and bruises, and
will probably have no serious re-
suits.
The wreck occurred on curve
Just west of the depot of Marine.
which is the first station west OF
Atlantic, and was due to a misunder'
standing in orders, by which No. 81,
the westbound train, failed to take
the siding to allow No. sc to pass.
No. 60 was not in motion at the time
of the accident, and No. 66 was run
ming slowly. Thus fortunately the
heavy loss of life which would have
occurred had the trains met at usual
speed was averted.
No. 50, the westbound Colorado
Flyer" left Des Moinees in charge OF
Conductor Fox and Engineer Binkley,
and No. 66. the eastbouni Iowa
Limited" in charge of Conductor
Bledsoe and Engineer Shultz, was
the train going east. Passing orders
for Marine were sent to both trains,
but those to the west bound neglected
to order it to take the siding there.
The train was stopped on the main
track on a curve just west Of the
station, and the eastbound train with
orders for the main track, came
around the curve and crashed into 1t
before the danger could be foreseen.
Both engines were disabled AMI the
front ends of the mail cars on each
train were smashed in, but all injur-
les received by trainmen and pas
sengers were due to the shock and
to flying glass, none of the cars on
either train leaving the rails.
The main line track was blocked
for several hours. but no other trains
were detained, as passage was Sc
cured on the passing track.

The Custom Is Now General.

1t has now become general and also
safe rule to demand brands of goods that

manufacturers of goods inform consumers
OF this fact and point out that safety lies

In this respect the Mayer brand of shoes

TO ENFORCE THE cURFEW LAW
Cascade City Council to Keep Chill
dren OF Streets.

Cascade.-The city council at the
last session decided to vigorously en-.
force the curfew ordinance, which
provides that children under sixteen
years of age must be off the streets
after eight o'clock. The history OF
the Introduction of the curfew law in
Cascade is peculiar if not interesting.
In 1896 party of young boys were
playing games on the flats above the
city. One Of them, who is now serv-
ing a five-year sentence in Anamosa
for manslaughter, was hiding under
the sidewalk and just as Alderman
Dominy, who later was mayor, came
along, the boy jumped up from under
the sidewalk and almost frightened
Dominy to death. The result was in
strumental in formulating the curfew
ordinance, which has been in use in
Cascade for the past ten years, though
not so strictly enforced for some
time.

A. London scientist says that life

A London scientist says that life in
q metropolis makes young children
sharp but not clever: that it often de-
stroys their chance of ever being
clever, for 1t hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally; it makes
them superficial, alert, but not OBJ
servant; excitable, but without one
spark of enthusiasm; they are apt to
grow blase, tickle. discontented; they
see more things from the country-bred
child. but not such interesting things;
they do not properly see anything. for
they have neither the time nor ca
pacity to get at the root of all the be-
wildering objects that crowd them
selves into their little lives. There Is
more than a grain of truth in this as
sertion.
