Copper is said to be SO hardened
as to take cutting edge by add
ing TO it, while in a molten state,
about two per cent of potassium
ferrocyanide. The color is not af-
fected. The reason for the change
is not clear, but it is supposed to
result from the introduction of
iron and possibly carbon.

Not long ago farmer in Iowa
went to a harness dealer to buy a
team harness. He found one that
suited him and the price was $45.
TIE farmer happened to remember
that about dozen years ago he
had bought harness just like it
from the same dealer for $35 and
he mentioned the fact. The dealer
went to his books and found this
to be true. ''But," said the deal
er, ''my book shows that you did
not pay cash for it because you
did not have the money. You
hauled in 300 bushels of corn and
gave it to me for the 635 harness.
Now, I'll tell you what l will do.
If you will bring me 800 bushels
of corn l will give you the $45
harness, also double harness
worth $35, a single buggy driving
harness worth SIS, a 81 plush
robe, boys riding saddle worth
IS, one whip and riding bride
worth $3.50, two leather halters
worth $3.50, brush and curry
comb worth 81 and rawhide
buggy whip worth $1."-Ex.
The editor of the Cabool Times
makes this plaintivs appeal to his
subscribers for cash: ''With the
next three issues of the Times the
subscription of at least 500 sub
scribers becomes due. 1t is not
necessary for the Times man to
say that he needs the cash. A fur
tive glace from the orbs of a blind
man towards the postcrior portion
of the editors pants would prove
that fact beyond the buzzard-wing
shadow ofa doubt. The proven
bial wolf is bowling long and loud
at the kitchen door. So come on,
all of you, and let the mama of
relief fall quick, thick and fact
that bright musical kind with the
eagle on it. If the editor is not
in, just pitch the coins over the
transom. A Stwo-bushel basket
has been placed in position to re-
celve them. We have moved our
credit department to the cellar.

SHOPS BURNED
Blaze Destroys Iowa Central
Property Worth $500, 900

Marshalltown, Ia, Oct. One
of the worst fires in the history
of this city tonight destroyed
the big Iowa Central car shops,
paint shops and valuable ma
chine shops and contents, in
Guiding coach, box and fiat cars
finishing lumber and car tim
bers entailing a total loss of
100000. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but when dis
covered at $50 flames were
bursting through the roof and
spread rapidly throughout the
entire interior of both struct-
ures, which are connected.
The character of the contents
aided the flames in their de-
vastating work. The interior
was Quilted as though so much
tinder. The car shops building
is 5Ox260 feet, and the paint
shops. 40x15O feet. At 10
o'clock everything was in
ruins.

Supervisors Inspect bitches

The board Of supervisors
from Pottawattamie county
came up yesterday morning
and were joined here by Super
visors Hosbrook, Holeton and
Murray, of Harrison. Later
they were driven to the head of
the Allen Creek ditch and also
to the starting point of the
Willow. While they were out
to inspect the bitches, one rea-
SON for the trip was to look
over the ground north of the
Allen ditch with regard to ex-
tending it further north with
the idea in mind to drain the
very low land that is adjoining
and which water should be car
ried off by the above ditch.
The supervisors expressed
themselves as anxious to have
the ditch extended, say per-
haps three-quarters of q mi e
further, which will take it
about a quarter of a mile north
Of the township line between
Raglan and Calhoun. If this
further ditching would do as
much good as the other work
that has been completed, there
should be no hesitancy on the
part of the county boards to
take the matter up, and they
have decided to consider this at
the next joint meeting to be
held in Council Bluffs on No
vember Goth.
After dinner at the home Of
Mr.. Edwards, northwest of the
city, the party was taken
down along the bitches and all
the members were enthusiastic
regarding the work and the
very beneficial results obtained
therefrom. The country roads
are being put in excellent con-
dition and it will not be vel Y
long until the cry of bad roads
from residents of the bottom
land and ON west, will be a
thing of the past. Now that
the water has been drained off,
excellent roadbeds can be made
and the supervisors have a
good gang at work, under the
supervision of an experienced
road grader.
The effects OF the drainage
system cannot be fully under
stood until one has made a trip
up the bottom where for the
past eight or ten years nothing
has grown but weeds and marsh
grass, but where today the
farmers are getting from two
to two and one. half tons OF
good hay, and selling it at S70C
per ton baled. On the farm Of
Of Freeley Myers and John An
derson, balers were at work
getting hay ready for shipment
aud which is shipped from Mo
dale as the nearest point. Or
many other farms the same re
suits were obtained and the
bottom land this year certainly
made good. and next year will
even yield a heavier crop

Others Find it Not Success

Charging that the treatment
accorded him by his wife, En-
ma Hollins, had been such as to
impair his health and endanger
his life, Charles Hollins has
filed an application for a
divorce.
His petition states that they
were married November %,
1906, at Council Bluffs, and at
times since the wedding
occurred she had used cruel
and inhuman treatment towards
him.
After being wrapped in the
connubial bonds for less than a
month Charles w. Mastin of
Mo. Valley, states in a petition
for divorce he has just filed,
that Flora Mastin, his wife, de-
serted him, and that she lhas
since absented herself.
They were married at Clari-
on, Iowa, August 81, 1905, and
he states that she deserted him
in September of that year.

There is no use trying to dodge
the fact that this land will be
the most valuable in the state
for corn as soon as the bitches
are completed, for the made
soil is anywhere from two to
fifteen feet in depth. Consid-
cradle grassland is being plowed
up this fall and winter wheat
drilled.
There are now several petit
tions in before the board for
the establishment of roads on
the dirt thrown up from the
dredges, and these roads would
be of great advantage to the
farmers in getting to and from
their respective fields and they
could also be used as the public
highway. The banks Of the
bitches We're found in good con-
dition and it is thought they
will afford plenty of protection
in case Of high water. Where
ever the banks have been cut
away for any purpose, the
board has made plans to give
the necessary attention.
The joint board is out today
inspecting the bitches to the
lower end and took dinner at
the big Boyer cutoff dredge,

Fox, a Clever Rogue

Mr.. Jinks pusued this course for
the reason that he couldn't waste
time standing guard in the yard. and
the chickens all housed, he went off
to another portion of his land to do
his work. The fox, it seems lay in
the bushes at the edge Of a wide
ditch, and watched through the
chinks in the fence until Mr.. Jinks
and his boy had departed, and then
arguing that the coast was clear
crept from his place of concealment
yard He found The chicken all be-
yond his reach, but his natural slyness
came to his assistance. and after leap
ing to a shelf against the house and
overturning a pail Of corn, set there
TO be fed to the poultry later he went
to the chickenhouse and opened the
door, He doubtless accomplished this
feat by taking the string controlling
the latch in his teeth and springing
backward. This trick alone proved
that Red was far above the average
fox in point of intelligence, and that
he had either seen some one work a
SIMILAR door arrangement or had in
stinctively OWNED the purpose of the
string.
After opening the door he must
have SUNK under the edge of the
house and laid there patiently wait
ing for his evil scheme to work. And
work it did, for chickens are even
more foolish than geese, and twice as
silly as ducks. The unsuspecting
fowls left their high perches, tempted
by the corn which lay on the ground
out in the open. and went to the
feast which had been prepared Tor
their undoing
"Clucking and cackling with glee
they fell upon the orn and began de-
streaked, the foxs 1.-THE body emerging
frc.n under the house, passed across
the intervening space. Before the
chickens knew 1t Red had pounced
right in their midst and with rapid
bites, tore the heads from several Of
them, and as bad luck would have it,
three Of the chickens killed were i'm
ported Plymouth Rocks.
The screeching from the poultry
yard brought Mrs. Jinks to the side
door, and she was just in time to see
Red slip under the fence and dash
down the road in the direction of
hcfae, with two ,feathered- in
his mouth. Th : other dead fowls he 4
was forced to leave behind
"Of course Mr.. Caldwell settled for
the Plymouth Rocks, and all the way
home he was nuttering curses on the
offending Red But | noticed when
ne entered the dining-room and Red
came bounding to greet him with
short joyous barks, such as a dog
would make, he stopped and tenderly
stroked the animals head.
Since that experience l have always
inclined to the belief that the higher
order of the dumb animals have some
other force to monitor them than 1ust
plain instinct

BITS OF WASHINGTON LIFE

w WASHINGTON, April 19-Mrs. Mary
Ellen Lease, only few years ago the
Joan OF Arc OF populiSm, and, who af-
ter that party's decline and fall mi
grated from the war-inspiring atmos-
phere of Kansas to New York, is now
a regular lecturer on Sunday for one
of the big ethical culture societies of
the metropolis. Mrs. Lease went to
New York to practice law, but she
appears not to have persisted long in
that field of endeavor. as no record has
yet been made of her appearance be-
fore the bar. She was a stanch sup
porter of President Roosevelt in the
last campaign, as were other forceful
women OF the west who were promi-
nent in the populist movement.
Albert +. Mead. governor of the
state of Washington, is sometimes
likened to Abraham Lincoln, not be-
cause he resembles the emancipator in

way OF saying things. Governor Mead

parents removed to illinois when he
was young man. He Is graduate
of the. Southern Illinois university mt
