gan this agitation in America" de-
clared Mr.. Strauss, declaring 1t to be
criminal TO feed young children on
milk which had not been Pasteurized.
The movement has now spread all
over America, and the government has
declared in its favor. Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman of the public health serv'
ice, at the direction OF President
Roosevelt, has taken up a consldera-
ton of the whole milk subject, with
the view of the enactment by congress
OF a pure milk law that will compel
the eradication OF tubercular cattle
from dairy herds and require the Pas
teurization OF all milk that cannot
be certified as free from disease

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 13.--Al-
though the city is comparatively quiet
and many Cinnamon have returned to
work there is still grave apprehen-
sion that the scenes OF anti-oriental
riots may be repeated. The return OF
a good many foreigners to their usual
occupations instead of presaging a
peaceful attitude has the opposite ef-
feet. This is because of the marked
spirit of defiance with which the ori-
entails have resumed their labors.
and other places because they feel
they have a right to work and defy
the whites to prevent them from do
ing SO. Many little incidents are con.
tinually happening in the streets of
the city which show the deep rooted
enmity between the unions and Ash
atics and there is great danger OF
another and more bloody outbreak.

1t has been discovered that this is
town where some young ladies'
have got in the habit of going into
empty houses and having kind of
fun which is not INDUCED in usually
by really good people. They have
beer and sometimes it is said even
stronger drinks. A few nights ago
there was scrap on the street, kind
CT hair pulling affair in which
neither one was injured very much
owing to the fact that both were too
drunk to remember the rules of the
ring. We understand there is close
watch being kept and if any more of
these razzle dazzle performances are
attempted arrests will be made and a
complete exposure of the parties will
follow. New Hampton Courier.

Articles OF Incorporation of The
American Motor-Car Interurban
Railway Company has just been filed
with the county recorder of Linn
county. The board of directors, by
resolution, fixed the capital stock at
five millin dollars.
The first line to be built, will be a
line from Waterloo through Gilbert

Alburnette. Marion. Mt. Vernon,
Lisbon, Mechanicsville. Upton and
thence to Muscatine or Davenport A
connecting line will be built from In
dependence through Urbana, Vinton,
Keystone and Belle Plaine.
These lines will be operated by self
propelled motor cars. thus reducing
the cost Of building Incorporating an
interurban line to about one-half the
cost of an electric line.
These elf-propelled motor-cars are
already demonstrated to be a great
practical success. These cars are
operated by means of gas engines di-
rectly attached to the cranked-axle Of
the truck wheels under the car and
are started and reversed by means of
compressed air.
Letters patent have already been
granted by the United States to E. j.
Christie. covering this system Of
motor cars, thus securing to the COM
pany. absolute protection in the use
of these cars.
Considerable right of way has
already been offered free OF charge

The suicide of VIM. McNaughton at
Iona two weeks ago is believed to
have been impelled by the fact that
the unfortunate man became dis
tracted and. disheartened over the sup
posed loss of large amount of school
funds which he had drawn from the
Monona bank day or two. before. 1t
now appears that he unconsciously or
purposely left the money in pair OF
overalls that he wore and not being
able to recall this act the next day
evidently concluded the funds were
lost and his rash act followed. A
search Of the mill premises last week
was rewarded by finding the overalls
containing the money beneath bar
rel. The tragedy is more deplorable
than ever as these facts become
known. -Waukon Democrat.

The visit of the state railroad COM
missioners here last week will un-
doubtedly be helpful towards securing
better train service for Waukon. They
were here only a brief time but they
we're fully enlightened as to the ex-
tensive and constantly increasing
patronage given the O., M. 81 st. +.
Co., which that company apparently
takes no cognizance of in the way OF
providing adequate and satisfactory
train service. Various delinquencies
were cited and the desire for an adj
ditional train leaving here late in the
afternoon to connect with the south
bound passenger was especially set
forth. Evidently the railway officials
realized that Waukon was intent on
securing better service, for on Monday
Supt. Stapleton informed President
H l.. Dayton of the Commercial Club
that the company was prepared to run
the morning branch train to North
McGregor (Which could just as we'll
have been done for several years past)
and to provide later train out would
run the branch trains on the old
schedule that kept the train crew at
the Junction over night. This
schedule Waukon does not want and
the company officials Wei know it.
The additional train is desired and
reply was made renewing the re-
quest for it. In case the company
does not grant it the railway COM
missioners will be appealed to for an
order compelling the company to
furnish the service. And there is
every reason to believe that they will
grant Waukon's petition in the mat
ter. Democrat
