Ditch Contract is Let

At the session of the board
of supervisors at the court
house Monday, bids for the
construction of the Young
Aldrich ditch in the upper
Sioux cut-offs were opened and
the contract let to the Canal
Construction company, one Of
the largest contractors now at
work on the Monona-Harrison
big ditch. There were some
ten firms represented but only
four bids entered. This was
due to the fact that in complet-
ing the ditch the dredge boat
will have to cross the Sioux
river about fifteen times and it
lis stated that owing to the
water beng low a fall of 81
feet will have to be made to
get the boat in, then damed up
so as toget enough water to float
it. But for these obstacles the
contract could have been let
for about &c per cubic foot but
as it is, the companies all
claimed it was taking a big risk
for any of them to contract the
work at lie. The ditch which
contains 100000 cubic yards
will not be commenced until
spring. The following were
the bids filed.

Overwork

Can anything surpass in
pathos the fate of a man who,
through a stroke Of paralysis,
is doomed to end a tusy, active
life in a state of absolute and
entire dependence upon others?
This question is one which di-
rectly concerns every brain

especially at the present time.

gagged of city men is often
greater than any man ought in
reality to face. Hospital.

At the Republican Rally in
Des Moines, Thursdany night
last, Judge S. F. Prouty and
Ex-Gov. Larraboe, two of the
most distinguished republican
politicians of Iowa, announced
the fact that Gov. Cummins is
a candidate for United States
Senator, without the advice or
consent of any man or set of
men on earth. This settles the
long mcoted question of the po-
sition of Gov. Cummins, and
with Gov. Cunimns, Ex-Gov.
Larrabe and Prouty all working
together we will expect to see a
lively race. That Gov. Cum
minis is an able politician is rot
to be der led, and while Senator
w. II 4 'iison is old and full Of
honnse. r,, NY will conclude that
the day has arrived when he
should be permitted to retire
and spend the evening of his
life in quiet. Because he is old
is no good reason for keeping
him in the Senate, many Young
er men would be just as eff
cient in the position he has so
honorably filled. and as no man
can claim priority in position,
we incline to the opinion that
he has reached the zenith of
his glory and should be permit
ted to rest from bis labofs.
AS this is none of our fight,
not being in a position to irflu-
ence the result in the coming
election of Senator, we can af-
ford to be independent in ex-
preston of our opinion on this
subject without being infuer-
ced by politics, for intact, we
would if we could, retire both
Allison and Cummins and elect
some young, able, energetic,
Democrat to represent the
great State of Iowa in the
United States Senate, but as it
is, we are like the man who
was a spectator to a fight be-
tween his wife and a bear, and
said: "this is a fight in which l
don't care a continental which

Nonpareil Branches Out

Announcement of the sale of
the job and bindery depart
ment of The New Nonpareil
company at Council Bluffs, Ia,
occasioned more or less sur
prise, but now comes the infor-
nation that the plant was sold
in order to make room for ex-
tensive Improvements contem-
plated by The Daily Nonparei],
and that the room, heretofore
occupied by those two depart
ments, will be entirely taken
by enlargements in the publica-
tion plant. There is never a
year that The Nonpareil does
not add to its value as a news
paper, already considered one
of the very best in the state.
With the improvements and ad-
!ditions to its equipment cor
templated, it is to add many
other features that will be in
teresting and valuable to its
thousands Of readers. 1t is
said Of The Nonpareil that it
has made larger additions to
its subscription list during the
past three years than any 9th

From the Omaha Daily News

From the Omaha Daily News
Sunday edition, we note an ar
jticle regarding an old race
horse, which it is claimed was
owned at one time in the Val
ley by Hank Ball. The horse
was discovered on the streets
of Omaha doing work as a del
livery horse, and some stockman
figured out the following about
him. Below we quote part of
the article:
AS near as can be learned,
Silver Tail was brought from
Kentucky to the west when a
young colt. He was owned by
"Hank" Ball, a prominent
horseman of Missouri Valley,
and performed his greatest
feats for Ball, winning coolies
of money.
SilverTail wiped up the track
with every western race horse
against which he was pitted.
He was what is termed a
"quarter-miler," being best at
a quarter of a mile and holding
a record for that distance of "a
seconds.
In 1893 he beat every horse
raced in the Missouri valley
from Missouri Valley to Fort
Pierce, S. d. He was then 16
years of age.
He was taken by Hank Ball
to Butte, Mont, and was un.
Il
beaten until he raced the great
horse Robert Wade, owned by
Marcus DAILY, the copper king.
Robert Wade was the only
quarter-mile who ever threw
the dust in Silver Tails eyes or
the track.
Silver Tail raced and beat
many western race horses o1
fame, some of his notable vic
tories being over such speeders
as Robbery, Bowery Belle
Queen of Diamonds and Billy
the Kid, all of which are re.
membered by old time race
track followers as being the
cream de la creme of horse
flesh.
Although Silver Tail wa.
much smaller than the usua
competitors met, his low, rangy
/. body gave him wonderful ;.bil
.|ity to prance over the tart.
Silver Tail often raced il
Omaha on the ole! track in tft
north part of the city and wa
a familiar sight on city speed
ways. He was once owned by
Jack Lewis, a farrier at Seven
teenth and st. Mary's avenue
The date of Silver Tails re.
tirement from the race tracl
is not known, nor his late owr
ers. How he drifted from the
admired trotter to an expires!
wagon steed is the usual course
OF equine history.
Silver Tail was about four
teen hands high, with rough
shaggy hair of sorrel hue
Streaks of silver hair were en-,
meshed in his name and tail
from which he received ri.
name. He had three white
stockinged feet, a white star OF
his forhead, with his face
streaked with silver hairs
Even his tanks and legs were
streaked with silver-coloret
hairs, which are said to have
glistened and sparkled like
wine drops in his youth, max
ing him in appearance as wei
as in speed a flash of lightning

Needs Man To Do Swearing.
Iowa Editress Proposes Thro'
Newspaper and is Accepted.

Newspaper and is Accepted.
Sac City, Ia, Jan. 26.-Hav-
ing lost the county printing to
which she was justly entitled,
and feeling that she needs a
man to do the fighting, and
swearing:for her, Miss Elizabeth
Sohm, editor of the Storm Lake
Vidette, has taken advantage of
leap year and proposed through
her newspaper. She says:
"A constant fight for what be-
longs rightfully is a wear and
tear on the nervous system of
any woman and we have came
to the belief that in order to
stay in the newspaper business
and maintain our health we will
have to marry some good prin-
ter who can do the fighting and
swearing for us. This is leap
year and may be considered as
a proposal by anyone who
would be qualified to fill the va
cancy so evident in the Vidette
Office"
G. A. Craig, the bachelor edi-
tor of the Lytton Star, believ-
ing that a proposal of marriage
coming from such a talented
woman could not be turned
down, has written his accer-
tance. In the last issue of his
paper he says:

to fill the vacancy whieb y .il Sist, r

"But before we would agree
to take up fair Lizzie's burdens
she would have to show creden-
tials as to her eligibility to the

existed for some time at our
wigwam. She must know how
to make pancakes, fry ham and
eggs and make good coffee; she
must have the staying qualities

School Notes
The high school debating
team will go to Winterset, Fri
day, January 81, where they
will meet the high school of
that city in debate. The ques-
tion for discussion is: Re-
solved, That limited disarms-
lnsnt of the leading powers
will promote the civilization of
the world. Our boys will sup
port the negative Of this ques-
tion. Winterset won on the
affi NATIVE from Ames, Iowa,
on The tenth of January. Our
boys wished to support the af-
ficmative but lot fell the wrong
way. This, of course, gives
Winterset the advantage in the
selection of side and in addition
they will have their home sup
port. 1t will be a good train
ing for our school as it places
our boys ON their metal in an
other town. The boys are
learning something of the
strenuous life.
Several visitors were present
at the Philomathean program
yesterday afternoon. 1t was
the first experience of the boys
in strictly extemporaneous
talks. Some of these were in
teresting and created some
merriment for the listeners.
Among the visitors we recall
Mr.. Wattles, Mr.. and Mrs. Hos
brook, Mrs. Cullivan, Mrs.
Craven, Mrs. Myers, Miss John
son, several of the young la
dies of cur own city, and others
from the vicinity round about.
For several years the schools
of this city have endeavored to
arrange for an art exhibit.
The art club of the city has
given kindly assistance at diff
ferent times. Everytime such
a plan has been made some-
thing has interferred to make
it impossible to hold the ex-
hibit. However on the after
noon and evening of February
4th such an exhibit will be held
in the high school building.
The Taber Prang Art Exhibit
will have the matter in charge.
The admission is 10 and 15c.
The money taken in at this ex-
hibit will be used in the pur-
chase of pictures for school
decoration. Each room will Sc
lect a picture from those on
exhibit. This is certainly de-
serving of the patronage of the
people of this city. We be-
lieve in the cultivation of the
aesthetic side of ones nature.
We will extend a cordial well
come to all interested in this
exhibit. 1t includes the fam
Gus Guerin prints recently ex-
hibited before the National
q lucational Association with
approval. Samples of the en-
tire line of of Prang Art Com
pany, Soule Art Company,
Campbell Art Company will be
on exhibition. Come and see
the high school transformed in
to an art gallery.
In the evening Herbert M.
Thompson, the humorist and
lecturer will give the people
one of his delightful entertain
mants. Mr.. Thompson is high
ly recommended by DR.. Geo.
Belts, author, of "The Mind
and its Education, and warmly
endorsed by DR.. L. B. Wicker

.sively in Iowa. The school of

for pimping. The warrant was

of witnesses and found twelve

a sale with a guarantee. Mr..
Martin bought the team and
took them home. He claimed
that they were not up to guar

Mr.. Stuve would not receive
them back. He then sued Mr.

The Food Value OF Bread
We have been told by many
directors Of hygienic diet that
the coarser breads are the more
nutritive, and should be choser
over those Of a whittier but les;
strenuous composition. Harry
Snyder, professor Of chemistry
in the College of Agriculture
of the University of Minnesota
now makes the authoritative
assertion in Harper's Magazine
for February that experiments
have proved that "while tft
coarser flour contains mori
phosphates, these cannot be a:
completely absorbed as those il
the finer -four" One young
man acquired gastritis at the
end of four days experimental
living upon graham -four
Professor Snyder upholds the
old idea that bread is the stat
of life, since statistics SHOW
that "it furn shes nearly bal:
of the energy employed in the
work acc n p'lshed by the
