Williams May Be Division Point.

Williams, Feb 1.-The town of
Williams is anticipating that before
long the Illinois Central Railroad
Company will establish subdivision
in that city, says the Webster City
Herald These anticipations are
founded on solid basis, in that the
railroad company some time ago made
surveys for the locating of a round
house, and even went so far as to make
inquiries from the city of Williams as
to the cost of furnishing water sup
ply, with which to replenish their en-
gines.
The object of this subdivision
would be to shorten the local runs
between Fort Dodge and Waterloo.
1t is evident that this division is too
extensive for . local freight run.

Wood Recommends Philippine Officers
From Military Schools.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Gen. Wood has
recommended legislation providing 9TH
er sources Of supply for officers of the
Philippine scouts than those now avail
able. He suggests that appointments
to junior places in the commissioned
personnel Of that organization be ex-
tended to graduates of certain military
schools and to military academy cadets
of two years service found deficient in
only one study, and who are recon-
mended for appointment by the aca-
demic board. Gen. Wood points out that
the classes of eligiblcs in whose be-
half a preference is established by
law, will soon reach such an age as
to preclude their appointment to the
grade of second lieutenant in the scout
organization.

in this city last week. He was one OF
the committee that drew up the reso-
lutions and has been all during his
life in favor of prohibition. AS an IL
lustration of the fact that politics
makes strange bedfellows, however, it
is recalled that he was also a member
Of the resolutions committee of the
democratic state convention at Water
loo in 1906. 1t was at that convention
that the democrats incorporated in
their platform this paragraph:
1--WE favor the enactment Of such
laws as shall give to all manufacture
ers and jobbers in Iowa the same
rights to ship their products and goods
to all points in Iowa as are now given
by the interstate commerce law to
manufacturers and jobbers in similar
products or goods in other states"
OF course the paragraph referred to
the shipment of liquor and McManus
of Scott county in the following session
introduced such a bill. 1t is not un-
derstood that General Weaver sane
toned this paragraph in the Democrat
ic platform but he was on the resolu-
tions committee.
The municipal elections law Is still
causing world of trouble over Iowa.
The attorney generals office recently
gave out an Interpretation of the law
which was for the purpose of straight
ening out some of the tangles. 1t Is
admitted by G large number that the
law is incomplete and that the only
way to interpret it is to take what it
says and infer what would necessarily
have to follow. The intention OF the
law was to make city elections biennial
instead of annual. The law was faith
cred by the Iowa League of Municipal
ities 1t also changes the number of
aldermen in cities of the second class
and in towns.
The element Of doubt is the time
when the law shall go into full effect.
The terms Of some aldermen are ex-
tended and change is made in the
election of aldermen at large. The at
torney generals office has Interpreted
it that the I'D law is not repealed till
the new law is fully in effect Other
wise some of the cities and towns
would be cut off with less number
of aldermen than they will have when
the law is fully in effect.
The appearance of the attorney gen.
erals Interpretation has not satisfied
a large number of city officials and
information reaches Des Moines that
in a number of cities and towns the
city officials are divided on the sub
iect. Some contend that they are to
hold elections this year and others not
and hence there is a liability Of con-
fict of authority in the matter of elec-
ton

Man Who Bowled For That Length of Time Carried From the
 AlIeys-Other News.

Washington, Jan. S. Harry Krauss, Washington's premier bowl CT, broke the worlds record for con- tinuous rolling when he finished his twenty-four-hour grind without a rest. He was taken from the alleys in a dazed condition, having refused all stimulants except his regular meals which were eaten while at work.
 His thumb was in such swollen condition that it was with great dit- ficulty that he finished the task
 He was paced both day and night by the best bowlers in the city, He had an average of .195 for his IL games with high score of 256 and a low one of 166. He threw 1,l9l balls, aggregating 31,056 pounds and spilled 23,010 pins.
 The longest bowling match, here tofore recognized was held at St Louis last summer when Charley Storke rolled forty-ive consecutive games. The present feat was the outcome of an argument, it being claimed that no bowler could stand the terrible strain.
 One of the most remarkable feats of the match was the fact that Krauss missed only eleven spares and would have made a much better record except for the fact that splits were numerous. One of the largest crowds that ever witnessed bowling game watched him throughout.
