The housewives of the country have
registered vigorous kick because OF
the rise in the price of spool cotton.
to six cents per spool. many Of them
believing the advance in price un--
warranted. We are informed, how
ever. that the advance has been made,
by the manufacturers because Of the
increase in the cost Of manufacturing.
One large firm says that the cost Of
the kind Of cotton used by them for
this purpose has advanced la4 per.
cent since 1899 when the former prices
was established, labor "a per cent,

Mr.. John Wood, the gentleman
who is in charge of the sur
veying party now located at Cresco
making the permanent survey and
stalking out the line of the Minneapo-
lis. Rochester and Dubuque Trac-
tion Company. came down from
Oresco Saturday and conferred with
the local committee concerning the
right of way between here and Cres-
CO. The committee drove with him
to Cresco and pointed out the right OF
way, and at Cresco were royalty en-
tertained by his party at their camp.
The party consists of fourteen men
who are in charge of competent en-
gineers and are making detailed sur
veys of the line, together with typo
graphical maps. The drawings sent
in to the head office by them show
exactly the location Of the right Of
way as finally determined upon. to-
gether with correct description Of
the contour of the land as it now is
and as it will be when graded, the
maps being divided into sections, each
showing 100 feet OF the line.
The survey is complete into Cresco,
and the party is now moving this
way. After coming part of the dis.
tance toward Ridgeway they will
move their camp. probably to Ridge
way, and few days later move to
Decorah. The camp consists Of four
tents provided with all the para
phernalia necessary for their work
and the comfort Of the party. It is
expected that they will be here in
about ten days.

lSDErERhlSArE LAW NOW EFFECTIVE.

On and after July 4th. Iowa will
embark upon new, but not untried
system, Of the criminal laws as ap-
piled to persons convicted OF felonies.
II is what is known as the ''indeter-
inmate sentence law Oonvicts will
be given the limit Of punishment pro-
We'd by the statutes. The term Of
confinement will rest wholly with
themselves and the. impression they
create with the authorities. Upon
being received at the prisons, the
man or woman will be placed in third
or lower grade. They will be re-
quired to wear the customary striped
uniform. II. by good conduct they
display q reasonable desire to abide
by the rules and to conduct Them
selves in an exemplary manner, they
will be advanced after 4 reasonable
lapse Of time, to the second grsde.
In this class they will be accorded
more privileges and be given more
consideration. Should they continue
to manifest Improvement by good be.
havior and exemplify to the satisfac.
tion OF the warden and the board Of
pardons. intention to reform, they
will be advanced to the first class
prisoners. At this stage they will not
be required to wear the prison stripes,
but will be clothed in citizens garb.
Continued good behavior and dis
position to abide by the terms OF
their imprisonment will make those
of the first class open to recon-
mendation by the warden to the
board Of commissioners for parole.
Thus. while they may have been sem
fenced for twenty years they may. by
good conduct and display an obvious
desire to reform. secure discharge
on parole within five or six years.
The new law is based upon the
well-grounded theory that great
