Vicinity Of Muscatine.
Muscatine, March 15.-The improve
,nents announced some time ago by the
Milwaukee railroad will be commenced
in this vicinity at once. One Of the
construction trains left this city yes
terday and will spend some time re-
pairing the right OF way between this
city and Brighton. One of the main
parts OF, the train was the pile driver
which will be used quite extensively
in the work. A number OF the small
bridges and trestles will be strength
ened with the addition OF a number
Of piles and in places where the track
is in any way exposed to water. piles
will be driven so as to protect the
roadbed against all washouts.
Aside from this work number of
concrete culverts and other masonry
will be placed along the road wher-
ever it Is necessary. Near Cranston
q small force Of men is employed at
this work and at several other places
along the line the same task is being
undertaken. BY placing in large cul-
sverts the company will be able to pro-
tect the track in better manner than
by using trestles.

THE SOUTH'S FINANCIAL IN
 DEPENDENCE.

Commenting upon the recent financial disturbances in the East and their effect upon the South, the Chattanooga Tradesman says:
 Never before in the history of this country was the South so com- pletely the master of it's own busl- ness affairs and so free from the influences of financial panics and business depressiols .'seWhere as if is at this time. The investments that are truly Southern, i. e., such as belong to residents of the South, are in such channels as render them comparatively free from all outside influences, and their nat ural returns are enough to Keep them from possible losses, and so we find that business conditions Tn this section at this time are ex- ceedingly promising and there IS not a rift in the cloud of prosperity anywhere on the Southern horizon
 ..'There is some degree of appre- hension in certain quarters over railroad and corporation legislation in the South, and possibly this has gone too far in some instances, but the sober, conservative sentiment which has always represented the business South is not going to be stampeded for any cause, nor Will if in the least relax it's energies to further advance the South for any reason that has it's inspiration in Wall street.
 ."There was never a time when money was more plentiful through out the South, due to the splendid returns that have been received for several years in succession rom our agricultural and manufacturing interests. It is the part of prudence and wisdom, however, not to be- come improvident, or so much carried away with present pros perity as to neglect the dictates of ordinary foresight and permit inn proper practices or policies to mar our splendid future outlook.
 The South's present prosperity is due primarily to the sale of big cotton crops at remunerative prices. Cotton last year returned over $500. 100000 against half that sum ten years ago; and these gen. erous returns have been cumulative during several years. The South is now financially independent. with the assurance of maintaining that

A recent dispatch from Washington, D. C., tells interestingly how Mrs. Richard Clougb Thompson of this city triumphed in the continental congress now being held in that city by the Daughters of the American Revolu- ton. The incident will be of unusual interest to local club women in view of the fact that the failure of Mrs. Rumina Ayers Mcclure of Little Rock to recognize Mrs. Thompson as the regent of the Pine Bluff chapter sew eral weeks ago created no little sen- sation in this state.
 After Mrs. Thompson's chapter was sustained by the national organiza- tion, without challenge, the following proceedings were carried out, accord ing to the special, which reads as fol- lows:
 "The chairman of the committee on credentials for the sixteenth continental congress of the Ma tional Society D. A. R., who is also the vice president general in charge of chapters, escorted Mrs. R. C. Thompson to the chair, provided for her as regent of a chapter in per feet standing, said to Mrs. Rumina Ayres Mcclure, state regent of Ar kansas: Mrs. Thompson, as regent of a chapter, duly recognized by the national organization, has incon- testable right to her place in this congress as an accredited repre- sentative of the Pine Bluff chapter, of Pine Bluff, Ark, and a voting member of the Arkansas state dele gation.'
 "The state regent then offered to Mrs. Thompson the state badge, blue ribbon with Arkansas in gilt lettering, and Mrs. Thompson par ticipated in the opening session of the congress. The compliment of an appointment on the souvenir committee is attested by an en- graved card signed by Mrs. Donald McClean, and the ribbon badge of pink and green with Souvenirs in gold letters. The victory for the Pine Bluff chapter is complete, since the state regent, Mrs. Rumnia Ayres Mcclure has written a state mant that she is sorry that she acted under misapprehension and transformation in denying the recognition due to the Pine Bluff chapter. This closes an incident painful to all of the citizens of

 These conditions make the South independent of Wall street panics and they promise just now, to con tinue for some time to come.

Washington, April 1S.-That Mrs. Donald Mclean of New York will be reelected president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution by the Continental Congress here to- day her friends claim is practically as sured.

JUGGLING | BABY.

Many newspapers are reDrlnllnS III
 gleeful mood the story that comes from Louisiana which relates that former Representative Walter Mabry of Wellsville was holding a baby with one hand and reached with the other to pick up some object from the floor. The movement strained him so he broke his wishbone. That is all there is to the story except that it has brought forth a flood of more or less reminiscent anecdotes concerning the deftness of woman under similar circumstances. The contest began with the Louisiana Press, which cites that a woman can grab baby with one hand, button her husbands collar, make the bed dust the furniture, take up the ashes, put stick of wood Ill the stove, wind the clock, pick pin off the floor, swat a fly on the back of the neck, shoo the chickens out of the flower bed and knock the cat out of the milk can with the other hand and never strain a muscle.
 No on man has lived long enough to observe all the possible combinations of dexterous manipulation which char acteriza a woman handling a baby. For a. mere man even to hint that there are limitations in this direction is manfestly absurd. Suppose We add to the foregoing list such acrobatic feats as holding an infant in one hand and with the other opening can of preserves, cutting out dress, har- messing a horse, swiping cobwebs otf a ceiling, laying a carpet, setting hen and decorating china? Such catalogue is scarcely a beginning. The most important accomplishments have been overlooked entirely.
 As indicating the hopeless density
 of the masculine observation, the Kansas City Journal refers to the fact that woman's coat buttons left handed" that is, in manner direct ly opposite from the similar garment worn bv man. If a man will take look at the next woman in buttoned coat he meets he will notice the truth of this statement. And why is this? Simply because a Womans coat Is made with the idea of her putting it on while holding baby in one arm. Even when a woman does up her hai" | she needs but one hand. A bountlful providence has endowed her with sin gular resources and she goes about this delicate operation with instinct i've accuracy of movement. With the fingers of one hand she turns, rounds, bends, shapes, hinges, Weaves, bralds, pats smooths and tucks her croWnlng glory until it assumes it's ultimate pat l tern and then she fills her mouth With
 hairpins and quickly nails the whole
 thing into permanent form. With a baby in her left hand she can button
 her waist up the back and down the
 back without missing a connection.
 And the supreme test of all is when
 she puts on her shoes. Does she per
 form this operation after mans clum-
 sy methods? Not bit of it. Here IS where she must use both hands. But she doesn't let go the baby. Not at all. She sits down On the floor with
 the baby in her lap and laces her shoes and rises again without having released the infant for an instant. It l is all very mysterious wonderful and occult. And man should not speculate
 further upon these things.
