Just a Beginning.
Following him Mr.. John c. Roth,
manager of the Auditorium and
Great Northern hotels, Chicago, re-
sponded to the subject, "The Ideal
Hosiery" Mr.. Roth declined to
consider his subject, because he
knew OF none; but he told his hear
ers how ne and his associates in
tend to make the Palmer House as
nearly ideal as possible. He said the
company expects to make the institu-
tion absolutely fire-proof; to give the
city an auditorium, wherein the
largest conventions may be held;
probably in the near future to ex-
tend the hotel property in two direc-
tions and make other improvements.
He did not promise all these things
at once saying great expense has al
ready been incurred, but said that as
soon as reasonable and practicable
the further Improvements will be
undertaken.
1.-THE Man on the Road" in MS
relations to the cities he visits was
the theme of Mr.. John w. Keiler's
discourse. "There is no better adver-
tiser of a town than the commercial
traveller" declared Mr.. Keller. He
related an anecdote of breakdown
in Texas a short time ago, which
necessitated a wait in Waco, where
hotel accommodations are poor. His
fellow traveller complained of having
to stay all night in Waco. Then the
man asked Mr.. Keller IL he had been
in Paducah, Ky, lately. Mr. Keller
lodged the answer. and the man
said: "Well, when you do you'll
drop dead if somebody don't warn
you. They've done things to that
Palmer House that you wouldn't
think they could do" Mr.. Keller
said it was not the amount of money
a drummer spent in a city, but the
impression of it he carries away with
him that counted for or against a
city.
Hon. C. c. Gresham responded
happily to the toast Before and
After" paying tribute replete with
bright wit, to the makers OF the new
Palmer House
"The Ladies" was the subject OF a
most graceful impromptu toast by
Hon. Wheeler Campbell.

with President Roosevelt's trip down
the Mississippi river and his advoca-
ton of deeper waterways.
Governor Cummins will speak on
deep Waterways at tho Saturday
luncheon of the Real Estate Mems as
ISOLATION. 1t will be remembered that
Governor Cummins accompanied the
president during a part of the trip and
he will be enabled to give q more
definite account of the voyage down
the stream, which means so much to
the business man, and shipper of the
Missouri and Mississippi valleys
The governor Is in favor of deep
Waterways and realizes what great
benefit It would do the state of Iowa
to have these great channels of navi-
cation which bound the state on two
sides thrown open so that vessels Of
deep draught can pass up and down
the rivers.
The luncheon will be held under the
auspices of committee headed by
the president of the association, D. Il.
Gilman. He will be assisted by w. l..
Frost and A. B. Beal These three

Dubuque. Oct. 24.--The Telegraph
Herald says that evidence of a sensa-
tional nature to substantiate the allie
cation that the investigation OF the
water department by the Pogson, Pc
loubet & Co., expert" auditors, was
fixed and a "whitewash" affair, has
been produced in an examination of the
consumers ledgers. which proves that
the investigators" checked hundreds
OF accounts and quit mysteriously. The
marks are as foot prints, showing every
move Of the accountants. 1t Is believed
by some that the investigation of these
books was stopped because something
wrong" was encountered.
In examining the accounts In the
first three books and part of the
fourth. Pogson, Peloubet and Company
used a certain system Of checking. Red
and blue pencil marks were used, pre-
sumably to check the ledger accounts
with the cash book. These marks are
used turnout the accounts above re-
ferred to. On page ~, Vol. 4, OF the

tenn ends. ct was at that time that

accountants employed by Pogson, Pc
loubet & Company certainly saw the
peculations of Macarthur" said q mem
Der of the municipal league. I'm my
opinion they saw enough to convince
them that it would be best to leave it
alone"
Altho, it is said the evidence Is at
hand that the experts" knew Of some
items in the consumers ledger which
proved McArthur's crookedness, they
did not prosecute the work, altho they
had practically completed half the job
when they suddenly quit
Some time ago a gentleman formerly
employed by the Pogson. Peloubet Co.
was In Dubuque and was asked regard

identified the marks on the different

bet firm The check is in the shape Of
