Ladies' Improvement League.
The Mo. Valley improvement
League met Thursday afternoon
in Masonic Temple; a goodly
number present and all in the
best of spirits. The ladies were
we'll pleased with the Chautau-
qua and anxious for the year to
roll around for another. Nine
candidates for membership
were voted into the League,
swelling the number to 90. The
League extended an invitation
to the Fourth District Fedora
ton of Woman's Clubs of Iowa
to hold their convention in Mo.
Valley this fall. A committee
was appointed to interview the
merchants of Missouri Valley
in regard to placing advertise
ments upon tin cans for waste
paper. The Treble Clef has al
ready purchased two such re-
ceptacles for waste paper, but
several more are still needed.
Another question that came up
for discussion was the weeds
that disfgure so many of our

Charles Smith, who lives on
the John Cleghorn farm in
Ashton township, holds the ban
ner record for wheat in this
locality to date, says special
from Onawa. On eleven acres
of land Mr.. Smith threshed out
554 bushels of winter wheat
or so Ali bushels per acre. AS
there was some dispute about
the exact amount of land the
ground was carefully measured
by outside parties and is known
to be absolutely correct. This
wheat, at 63 cents per bushel,
the market price, amounts to
$31.73 per acre. This is one
of the oldest farms in Monona
county and was taken as a
"claim" by Marion Owens in
1853 and has been farmed con-
tinuously since.

Cheerfulness is the health of
the mind; worry the disease.
Worry in time will produce
physical disease, for the nerves
become shaken by emotions
and the general health fails
under the constant mental
strain. Depression, which is
often caused by actual griefs,
is quite as often caused by lack
of self-control. A good book, a
brisk walk or a chat with a
cheerful friend will frequently
bring one up out of the gloom.
You can't be beautiful and dole
full, the two don't trot in the
same harness.

Women of Iowa need not
fear danger from undue fatigue
or excitement while attending
the Iowa State fair, for their
comfort and welfare has been
considered above all else in the
women's rest building and the
emergency hospital. From the
broad verandas of the rest a
fine view Of the fair is obtained
and it is an ideal place for
weary women and little chill
dren to spend a quiet hour.
There is a competent matron in
charge of the women's building
and a doctor in attendance at
the hospital near by. These
provisions especially for women
who have come long distances
and from the farms insure
against danger from sudden ILL
ness by reason of over exertion,
and they have come to be
greatly appreciated by many of
the fair visitors The SEEING
of the fair is now a matter of
comfort and safety for all
members of the family.

.BESSEMER ADOPTS SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW Council is After ViolatorS of
 the Sabbath THE FRANCHISE ORDINANCE Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company Seeks to Secure Amended Conditions for
 Building New Line.
THE FRANCHISE ORDINANCE

Bessemer, January 16.-(speeial.)- city council of Bessemer tonight in regu- lar session adopted a resolution prohibit ing the sale of liquors on Sunday and providing as penalty that a conviction under the ordinance forfeits the license of the guilty person.
 Another ordinance was adopted prohib- iting any one except the proprietor or clerk of any saloon from entering the building where liquors are kept for sale on Sunday.
 The adoption of the two ordinances created quite a sensation and there was quite a spirited discussion before the vote was finally taken.
 The cemetery committee, to which the ordinance on Sunday selling had been referred with a significant smile at the last meeting, reported adversely or it, appending the suggestion to the report that the. ordinance be deferred until a case in the Florence city court question ing the right of the city to interfere in matters of this kind had been passed upon
 Alderman Bissett promptly offered a res- olution that the report be accepted as information and that the ordinance be put on its second reading. Alderman Bis setts motion was seconded by Alderman O'Clara and lively discussion followed, i'm which Alderman Blssett argued that it would be foolish to delay the matter until the supreme court could decide the Florence case, which might be delayed indefinitely.
 The vote on MT. Bissetts motion car ried by vote of five to three. Those voting aye were Lewis, Bissett, Ross, 0 Cara and Crook. No-Wegelin, Eigde and Van Trump.
 After the ordinance had been adopted Alderman Van Trump wanted to know If it referred to drug stores holding liquor license as well as saloons, and the city attorney held that it did.
 An ordinance was then introduced mak- ing it violation for any one except the proprietor or his clerks to enter place where liquors are kept for sale on Sun day This ordinance excepted drug stores, but before it was adopted Alderman Crook offered an amendment making the ordinance applicable to all drug stores unless all intoxicating liquors kept for sale are placed in a separate room and locked on Sunday.
 This ordinance was adopted, the vote being as follows: Aye, Lewis, Bissett, Ross, Wegelin, O'Gara and Crook. Eidge refused to vote and Van Trump voted no.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
J. D. Hanby of Bessemer Is in Race
 for Sheriff.

To the Voters of Jefferson County:
 In offering myself as a candidate for the office of sheriff of Jefferson county l think 1t nothing but right that should declare my platform and let the people know how l stand on the questions that must necessarily confront the executive officer of this county.
 First and foremost, I hold that execu- tion of law and order, so far as the sher- Tiff can execute it, must and should be done. There can be no enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as guaranteed under our constitution and laws, without the observance of law and order, and the enforcement thereof, and if elected shall use every endeavor with in my power to bring it about without fear or favor.
 The humblest and the greatest alike must be protected and made to feel safe and secure under the laws of the land. There can be no enjoyment of our legal and constitutional rights without that feeling of safety that is guaranteed to us. The sheriff is the chief executive officer of the county and responsible in large measure for the execution of the law and protection of life and property. l will if elected assume the responsibility and bur dens of the office, knowing full well what these burdens are, with the full deter imitation to carry out the law without fear or favor to any one.
 I propose if elected to employ none other but the best of our citizens as dep uties. Each precinct will have the selec- tion of one of their number for their chief deputy, thereby giving the right to the people to name such citizens as they wish to protect them in their own beat. I will not myself or any deputy in my em- ploy ever receive any reward for the cap ture of any criminal who has committed any depreciation in Jefferson county. The idea prevailing among executive officers that they must wait for reward for the capture of criminals is not productive of law and order in any community and should not be countenanced. Frequently desperate criminals go unwhipped by jus tice either on account of slow tardy or unpaid officers, or because of desire to reap a rich reward Such conduct is reprehenslble, and I therefore refuse all rewards both for myself and deputies. propose to pay my men well and furnish horses, brides and saddles. so the people may get the quickest and best service. I also propose to make each and every good citizen In Jefferson county a special dep uty and by doing this will disarm the criminals that are now carrying the pis- tols and put them in the hands of the best citizens.
 Upon the foregoing platform I place myself before the people as a candidate for sheriff of Jefferson county. subject to the action of the democratic party. Yours truly J. D. HANBY.

question. which carries with 1t no spe< cial proposition for the establishment of predominant foreign influence.
 Nor is the United States concerned with the third subject of the programme. the more economical collection of reve- nues and the establishment of new taxes of duties, unless American commerce. should be discriminated against, or af- 'fected. Here, as in the discussion of the first subject, the American deAe- gates are instructed to insist upon equal ity of treatment for American commerce, trade, navigation and individual activi- ties. They will also take care to see to 1t that the revenues shall be so adjusted as to insure equal distribution for the benefits of trade among all the treaty nations.
 The American delegates are instructed to heartily support the fourth subject of the programme which has for it's object the prevention of private monopoly of the public services by letting them out or diverting them in some other man. ner which might prove injurious to the rights of the treaty powers as a whole.
 Fearless Clarity Evident.
 Secretary Roots letter to the Ameri- can delegates Is characterized through out by fearless clarity of expression and dehniteness of purpose calculated to impress the powers particpatory to the conference with the impartial benevo- lence and unbiased friendship cherished by the Washington government toward all concerned. an attitude which MT. White and MT. Gummere are specifically instructed to assume and rigidly adhere to. As representatives of the Washing ton government at the conference, they are instructed to stand at all times for the square deal not only for Morocco, but for all the interested powers, and they will make it clear that this govern ment in consenting to enter the confer ence confidently expects fair play for all.
 By their complete disassociation from any policy act or expression which in the remotest degree would tend to thwart or delay a harmonious arrangement be- tween the treaty nations and Morocco the American delegates informed that this government hopes that they may. in the event of. such unfortunate situa- ton, add force to the absolute fairness of the advices thereby by this negative but none the less influential manner mak- ing for the complete harmony and accord of the conference The delegates will be in constant connection with the depart- ment by cable. and whatever decision they may reach will be subject to the approval of the department. In the event that treaty is agreed to. the American delegates will subscribe to it a referen- dunn, leaving the approval of their acts to the subsequent consideration of the department of state, and If the depart nlents approval should be given, leaving the resulting treaty to be passed upon by the American Senate before its final rati- fication.

ROOT MAKES KNOWN
 AMERICA'SA ATTITUDE
Delegates Have No Power to Take Action Without Consulting the
 State Department.

Washington, January 16.-What part will be played by the Washington govern ment in the Moroccan conference now con- vening at Algeciras, is clearly set forth in the instructions prepared by Secretary Root for the American delegates, MT. White, the American ambassador at Rome, and Mr. Gummere the American minister at Tangier
 These instructions are included in a compilation of confidential correspondence relative to the Moroccan conference pre- pared at the department of state for the convenience and information of the Amer ican delegates. In placing the confiden- tial imprimata on these instructions, the department Is following a time-honored custom which ante dates even the initia- tion of the policy in the pursuance of which this government consented to par ticipate in the conference. This policy dates back to 1S36 in which year the United States with other countries entered into treaty relations with Morocco By this treaty the Washington government shares with other powers certain privi- leges, among them that attaching to the most favored national treatment.
 At the outset of his letter of instruc- tions, the secretary announces that the participation of the United States in this 
 conference isf based exclusively upon it's treaty rights with Morocco, re-arrange- ment of which is now proposed by the Sultan who has extended invitations to the United States and other powers sig natory to the treaty of 1880 to join in a conference to discuss the manner for suit able reforms which the Sultan has de- cided to introduce in his empire.
 Pledged Right of Protection.
 By the treaty of 1880 it is pointed out that this government is pledged the right of protection of special class of native Moors. Further than this, the treaty rights of this government 1t is declared are confined to an equal share In whatever privileges of commerce and protection or residence may be enjoyed by other foreigners.
 As has been repeatedly announced by the department. the attitude of this gov ernment toward the policies of Morocco is clearly laid down in the instructions to its delegates to the conference. Amer ican delegates will have practically noth- ing to do with the solution of such prob

recognized the need of some outside su- pervision. Germany will doubtless con- tend for international supervision in which she and all other powers shall take equal part, something like the. in ternatlonal administration of Macedonia and Crete. On the other hand, France consistently upholds her special and para mount right, based on geographical posi- tion, to safeguard the future of Morocco, acting thus as the virtual trustee TOT the nations.
 The issues before the conference, are therefore, very simple: First shall France be charged with the necessary reforms for Morocco; and second the de- tailed consideration of these various re- forms relating to finance, police, customs and contraband.
