WILL KEEP THE PASSES
Entire Board of West Burlington City
Officers Is Likely to Resign Official
Station in Order to Retain Free
Passes Over the "a" and Other Rail-
roads,

Special to Times-Republican.
Burlington. Aug. 2S.-West Bu-ling-
ton is looking about for an entirely
new set of city officials, as it is prob-
able that all the present officers will
resign in order to retain their railroad
passes. AS city officials they receive
from $40 to $25 a year tor their SER
vices, and they hold that the. passes
are of more value to them than the
city offices.
A peculiar situation exists in that
community, which is made up practi-
cally of railroad employees. All of the
city officials are either officials or en-
ployes of the Burlington company, and
as such are entitled under the law to
the use of passes, but as city officials
they are prohibited from riding on any
kind of free railroad transportation.
The perplexing thing is that-as prac-
tically every one in West Burlington
is an employee of the railroad, there
will be very few, if any, citizens from
which new city officials can be chosen
to fill the vacant places, no railroad
employee caring to accept place under
the Iowa law.

For Not Marrying.
Special to Times
Council Bluffs, Aug. 2S.-Miss Rose
Hudspeth, of Stuart, Neb., who recent
ly achieved considerable fame as ed
itress of the Stuart Ledger, is visiting
Council Bluffs friends, and was pre-
vailed upon today to relate the story
of her wholesale proposal Of marriage.
Miss Hudspeth realized one day that
the number Of manageable men in
Stuart was all out of proportion to the
proper number and for the good of
the town. She compiled directory,
in which appeared the names of six
teen of these men. Each week she
heaped volumes of criticism upon their
heads for remaining in single blessed
ness, until the men realized as matter
Of self protection, that something had
to be done.
One day Miss Hudspeth received a
message asking her to call at Jim"
Rice's office on matter of business.
She responded to the call and arriv-
ing at the office found eight of the
sixteen eligibles awaiting her. Singly
and in pairs and enmasse they launch-
ed their proposals. Here was situa-
ton. There was no time for theoriz-
ing. Most women show embarrass-
ment when one proposal is made them,
but when they come by the half dozen,
and more, the situation is multiplied
in its endorsements.
Miss Hudspeth, however, was equal
to the occasion, and after moments
hesitation rendered this verdict: No.
/, she announced, was in arrears for
three years subscription to the Ledger.
She wanted no man who did not pay
