WHEN Is A MAN oLp2

Keokuk Gate City: Abas the cub

count of a man of fifty being thrown
from wagon in a runaway headed
it aged Man Badly Injured" Quire
properly the Knoxville Express wants
to know what kind of callow cubs are
doing the local work on The Register
and Leader this year, and proceeds to
gsay:
"They must be pretty sappy to call
man of fifty aged That carries
the idea of canes, crutches, toothless
gums, tremulous limbs and senile
degradation. Gadzooks! Will Theo-
dore Roosevelt, now forty-eight, be an
aged man in two years more? Will
William Jennings Bryan, now forty
six, be doddering aged man in a
short four years? And the sprightly

proposed railway before Jan. 1, 1902,
the city of Oskaloosa might declare
the franchise forfeited, and the COM
pany having failed to build the road
by the specified time, tue city coun-
ell subsequently passed an ordinance
declaring the franchise forfeited and
void. One of the statements in the
franchise voted by the council and
ratified by the people contained the
following: The city of Oskaloosa
shall not be liable to the said COM
pany for any paving heretofore put
in, or paid Ior by said company"
A question under consideration is,
Who owns the paving which was paid
for by the Oskaloosa Street Ranway
and Land company? If it is still own.
ed by the Street Railway & Land
company, what is the nature of their
title? Can they convey this paving
to another company desiring to con
struct a street railway along the
same street, and can the company to
whom the rights of the old company
may be assigned, occupy the same
streets without mourning liability to
either the city of Oskaloosa or the adj
jacent property owners? If the paw
ing is not owned by the old street
railway company, does it belong to
the city of Oskaloosa? And what
are the rights, If any, of the adjacent
property owners? Another problem
for the court and the argument OF
the attorneys, What rights and priv
,ileges the old company retained after
the vacation of it's franchise?

IOWA LEADS IN CORN.

Iowa leads all states this year in
the production of corn. Last year,
topped only by Illinois, the crop OF
golden grain in the Hawkeye state
this season has increased 51,612,624
bushels over the yield in 1905, putting
this state nearly 100000 bushels
ahead of Illinois. Iowa's total yield
in 1906 is 356,725,000 bushels.
The total corn crop is 1881, 900, 900
bushels, as given by the government
report. The excess in production
and farm reserves is 211,000,0O1
bushels more than last year. Con
sumption last year was about $780,,
100000 bushels. compared with a
crop of 100000 bushels. The
nine states in the central west, the
west and southwest, which raise the
surplus corn, have 1,930,S67,000 bush,
els, or 75,724,000 bushels more than
last year. The three northwestern
states raised the largest crop in their
history. 10S,000.0OO bushels, or 5,OO0,'
900 bushels more than last year. The

The Wall Street Journal, in an ar.

from by a calculation showing the
expense of moving commodities over
the country roads. In year the
amount of tonnage received at all
railway stations in the country is ap.
proximately 7OO,OO0,OO0 tons. From
this must be taken manufactures er.
chandise and the products of the
mines. There is left 100000 tons

railroads, must be transported over.
land for greater or lesser distance.
AS closely as any one can figure it
out, the cost of hauling freight over
country road, all elements consid.
cred, is twenty-five cents per ton per
mile, or So ton for an eight-mile
haul, probably the average distance.
Hence, though the figures do not
claim infallibility, it costs approx
mately $50O,0OO,G00 for this country
hauling that afterwards becomes rail
way tonnage. This takes no account
Of freight hauling away from stations.
That with improved roads this half
a miliion dollars for freight hauling
could be greatly diminished goes
without saying. Every dollar put in
to good roads is so much towards
greater internal economy and the
greater conservation Of wealth.

MARKING The BALLOT,

In Dubuque county at the recent
election LOTS more votes were cast
for governor than for congressman.
After marking a few squares near the
top of the ballot 1,075 voters grew
tired and skipped to the county tick
ct. The Dubuque Times-Journal in
commenting upon this condition
points out that it is due to indiffer-
ence and not to ignorance, and that
it will not be corrected by time. In
support of this Massachusetts, is cited,
where the circle has been off the bal
lot for years, and the rule is said to
be that the end of the ticket falls
about 25 per cent short of the full
vote cast. r
A rule endorsed by the Times-Jour-
nal as good one is that of Colorado,
which retains the circle and counts a
cross there for all candidates on the
ticket except those before the names
of whose opponents crosses appear.
This reduces the premium on straight
voting almost to the minimum be-
cause it is seldom that the voter
wishes to scratch more than two or
three names on the ticket.
Even better is the suggestion from
the same source Lnat there be cir
Gle at the head of each ticket, ma
tional, state, congressional, judicial,
county and township. 1t is urged in
favor of this arrangement that it
would greatly simplify the marking
of the ballot by comparison with the
present method in Iowa and would
make it practically impossible to de-
termine by the time spent in the
booth whether the cluzen had voted
a straight or scratched ticket, as in
either case several crosses would be
necessary.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AS
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, Nov. 24.--Black Diamond
today says: "The usual answer to
the question, What is the state of the
market this week. brings the prompt
reply: Trying to get coal enough to
fill orders-not accepting any new
business excepting at prices current
at time of delivery There is per-
ceptible increase in the demand for
domestic sizes throughout the coun-
try districts. The demand in west.
ern territory is especially strong ana
many operators and sales agents
claim that they are receiving more
orders from the west than at any
time. This may indicate that the
coal states, Colorado and wyoming,
are falling down in supplying the us
ual amount of coal demanded for west
ern consumption. The characters
tics of the week are somewhat indi-
Gated by the descriptions of the mail
of sales agents and operators, which
is said to consist mostly of complaints
and urgent requests for immediate
shipments of coal Most of the sales
men have been called in and
more attention is given to the filling
of back orders than to the securing of
new business. The mild and semi
cool weather during the past week
has caused prices to remain about the
same. The stock in retailers yards
are becoming rapidly depleted owing
to the growing demand of the past
few weeks and the small supply of
coal which has been received. 1t is
anticipated that as soon as severe
and continuous cold weather becomes
a reality that the clamor for coal will
exceed the highest expectations of
the most sanguine profits"

ALCOHOL AND TUBERCULOSIS.

Philadelphia Press: The contention
that alcohol is beneficial in the treat
ment of tuberculosis was declared to
be fallacious by DR.. T. D. Crothers
superintendent of Walnut Lodge hos
pital, Hartford, Conn.,, in an address
before the International Congress on
tuberculosis in this city today. He
declared that, upon the contrary, al.
cohol is really more dangerous than
the disease it is given to correct
DIR. Crothers said:
alcohol as a remedy or a proven.
tive medicine is a most dangerous
drug. All preparations of syrups con
tanning spirits increase rather than
diminish the disease. They may
cover up the bad symptoms, but they
increase the poisons and the soil OF
the growth of the consumptive germ.
Rock and rye prescriptions make the
disease more incurable.
alcohol is a narcotic, and, while
quieting the pain and lessening the
cough, diminishes the vitality and
power of nature to overcome the dis
ease. Consumption and alcoholism
are twin sisters. The subsistence OF
the one is followed by the develop
ment of the other.
r "a very large per cent of the so
called inebriates or persons who have
stopped drinking die of consumption
or pneumonia. A large number of
consumptives become inebriates and
die suddenly. Consumption associat-
ed or following moderate or excess.
i've drinking is always marked by Sc
we're hemorrhages. Alcohol seems to
have weakened the blood vessels of
the lungs, and predisposed to the
growth of consumption and other
acute diseases. ST..
"The excessive drinker of spirits,
whose breath gives evidence of alco-
hol thrown off, is permanently injuf.
ing his lungs and inviting consump-
ton. Alcoholic parents are followed
by consumptive children, and con-
sumptive parents have alcoholic chH-
dren. Spirit drinkers living in close,
bad air, always have lung diseases.
Alcohol and drug taking are very act
i've causes of consumption. Con.
sumption may not break out from
these causes, but pneumonia is al.
most certain to follow.
Both alcoholism and tuberculosis,
one the Great White Plague and the
other the Great Black One,' are a
menace to civilization. Consumption
is attracting a great deal of attention;
alcoholism is neglected, and the
preventahle deaths from both will
exceed in numbers any estimates of
the present. tuberculosis and alco-
holism are so closely associated that
all measures of prevention and treat
ment must recognize this relation if
they succeed. Both of them can be
stamped out the same as yellow and
typhoid fevers, and the work Of the
future will lie in this direction"
