Meyer. the Belgian Minister, and
the family of Senator Elkins.
Miss Katharine Elkins, who is

her matrimonial plans. Society
is very eager to know if the King
of Italy is really going to allow
the match but the family of the
Senator and the crusty million

touchy on the subject and news

Two Small Fires,

A fire alarm was caused Friday
of last week by a fire at Charles
Feaga'S stable in Chapel alley, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets.
The stable which was a two story
frame structure was destroyed.
Tha cause of the fire is not known.
What might haye proved ser.
lous fire was discovered at the
home OF County COMMISSIONS Ii.
Milton Kefauver, North Market
street. Upon entering the kitchen
it was found that the girder over
the fireplace had been burning
during the night and was about
bnrned in two. Ii had evidently
burned all during the night, the
smoke going out of the chimney.
The tlames were quickly extin-
guished, before any further dam
age was done. No cause can be
assigned as to the origin of the
fire.

CEMENT PLASTER.

In the current construction of many
buildings, not only Of business houses.
but residences as well, it is to be no.
ticed that cement plaster on the ex-
terror walls is used The contractors
answer to the question, why is this
lone?" is that in the case of the dwell
ing pleasing appearance and durabil-
ity are the chief ends sought, while In
that Of the business block the desire of
greater fire protection is added. The
prediction is made that this feature
will grow in favor until it becomes the
rule rather than the exception. The
tendency to render buildings as nearly
fire-proof as possible has become i'm
peratiye because Of the fact that all
building is being prosecuted on a
scale Of constantly increasing elegance
and magnitude, and the expense OF
construction is also made greater by
the ever rising cost of materials and
labor. Strictly speaking, there is no
such thing in existence as a fire-proof
building material, every one of them
being more or less subject to the effect
of intense heat; for instance, brick and
stone walls are disintegrated and col

umns of iron or steel break down In
great CONGREGATIONS, such as often oc-
cur despite the efforts made to prevent
disasters. The best that can be done
in this line is to employ what is in the
highest degree fire-resisting, something
which is not consumed or otherwise
readily affected by contact with heat,
that is capable of withstanding the
attendant action of water without
breaking or crumbling, and that will
not readily conduct heat to an in
terror substance less capable of re-
sisting 1t.
1t is apparently the growing belief
of authorities everywhere that the best
of these fire. resisting building mate
rails vet discovered is concrete. In
current number of Cement Age
New York publication devoted to the
cement and concrete industry, details
OF an experiment are given In which
concrete blocks only a few inches In
thickness were SuDJeCteQ LOT lWo ioui .
to temperature OF 100 degrees f.,
followed by an application of water.
Paper labels on the backs of these
blocks were afterward found unin-
jured, and the surface disintegration
resulting was very slight.
Additional advantages claimed for
concrete over other constructive ma
terials heretofore largely used for fire.
proofing purposes are. economy OF
space, increased lighting facilities, low
cost and rapid construction. The con-
servatIon of natural resources becomes
problem OF vital interest in the face
of a scarcity of building materials, and
the rapid substitution OF new mate
rial which is both inexhaustible. cheap
and far more durable, should interest
every person. In less than ten years,
almost every building in the United
States that does not use brick, stone or
concrete for solid walls. will use ce-
ment plaster on metal lath for Its wall
covering.

THE RATES THAT DID NOT RISE.

That the public is bigger than the
railroads and entitled to more consid-
Grafton than the railroads were will
ing to admit few years ago has been
| demonstrated. For instance, witness
| the abandonment by the railroads of
their threatened raise in freight rates.
| We heard from far and near that In
order to keep from going to the poor
house the railroad companies would
simply have to cut the wages of their
employees or else raise the rates on
freight carriage
They claimed the cutting OF their
passenger fares and their many idle
| freight cars, enforced to sidetracks be-
cause Of the recent halt in the busi-
ness pace, were making inroads on
their income which they could not ac-
cept without some sort of retrenchment
or a corresponding revenue some
where.
The people contended that increase
of transportation charges for freight
was unjust, and that some Of the wa
tered stock Of the railroads ought to
be pruned. Their claim was that
there was plenty of revenue for rail-
roads properly valued and economt-
cai!y managed.
The intention of the railroads was
50 determined, apparently. that a meet
ing Of shipping interests was held at
Chicago, at which the sentiment
against higher freight rates was so
strong and outspoken that the rail-
roads, in the hope of gaining their end
by arbitration, assented very readily to
suggestion that the matter be taken
before the Interstate commerce COM
mission for its advice.
But the ominous noises from all over
the country, stirred up by prospective
higher cost Of freight carrying, soon
became so clamorous that the railroads
Of their own motion decided not to try
to enforce the raise.
It's significant move on the part OF
the railroad companies to backslide
from their wonted campaign Of rate
lifting. and it's tantamount to adj
hitting all that has been said Of wa
tered stock. The public is willing to
pay enough to guarantee good divi-
dends on honest valuation, but draws
the line on contributing to get-rich-
quick schemes. As yet none of the
big lines have gone into the hands OF
receivers, nor have they announced
their bankruptcy. Business is on the
mend. AS the price of wheat comes
down, the railroads begin to repair box
cars, and the prospects are that fall
will see business on the boom again.
Cheap money and bond issues over
subscribed three and four times makes
construction work easy and the skies
to grow brighter. In fact, it is better
not to cry until we are really hurt.

TAFT DOES THINGS.

More will be heard about William
H. Taft before the election in Novem-
Der. AS the campaign progresses, it
will be discovered that Taft is great
man in his own name, regardless of
the magnitude of his friend Roosevelt.
The T.-R. expressed its, convictions
three months ago that Taft was to be
preferred over Roosevelt fors president.
That preference was sincere then and
will be reiterated merely fort emphasis
now.
Mr., Taft has been the big man OF
the Mckinley and Roosevelt admins
trations. Whenever and wherever
there was trouble Of serious nature,
real knotty problems to unite; when
ever and wherever difficulties were
sufficient to battle other men, there and
then was Mr.. Taft sent, and order al
ways came readily out of chaos under
his masterful touch.
In the Philippine Islands a govern
ment needed to be handmade and
built to suit people who had never
received any training for a govern
ment, and Mr.. Taft made a govern
ment for them which seems to run as
smoothly as newly oiled bicycle.
Trouble broke out in Cuba. There
was instruction and anarchy. Mr..
Taft went laughingly about the city Of
Havana, and Immediately there was
order in Cuba.
Man. after man failed on the canal
ident himself would have to resign and
look after the canal. Mr.. Taft went
down there and we have heard nothing
but the dirt fly ever since.
Taft is man who does things. He
will not be the preacher that Roose-
welt has been. He will not stir ma
ton to great popular waves Of reform
which, of course, carry with them dan
gers of extremes, but he will actually
accomplish more In definite results
than Roosevelt has accomplished. The
party has made the best selection that
it. could have made. It has offered the
nation the one man Of all men who can
carry out and put into operation the
reforms which Roosevelt has inaugur-
ated. Roosevelt has created the public
sentiment, and Taft is the man to do
the business. In the business world
Taft is the man sent out to close the
deal.

SECOND PLACE TO THE EAST.

The repeated predictions made by
the Times Republican thru all this tur-
MOL and strife on the part of soreheads
among the Iowa delegates in Chicago
have been verified today in the nomi-
nation Of an eastern man for vice pres
ident. The Hughes men and the Fair
banks men and the Cannon men and
the Knox men got together in the Taft
managers room last night and pre-
scented O. united request that the con-
ISOLATION prize go to Congressman
Sherman Of New York. This request
coming from Taft's defeated opponents
and backed by the big delegations of
New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Illinois, was promptly granted. This is
the way vice-presidents are always
nominated.
The fuss In Chicago over Dolliver
and Cummins has served merely to
make Iowa ridiculous before the ma
ton. A few sorehead delegates, one
defeated for governor, another TOR
congress, and third kept off of dele
cations for seven successive years,
were yelling like pigs under a gate for
fear that vacancy would be created
in the senate to which Cummins would
succeed in spite Of them. There may
never have been much danger of the
vice presidency going to either Dolliver
or Cummins, but the Iowa delegates in
Chicago firmly believed that there was.
and this triumvirate OF pigs under the
gate were telegraphing and writing in

Congressman J. A. T. Hull, who has
done more to advance the business in
terests of Des Moines than any other
citizen ever elected to position of
public responsibility and trust"
without knowledge of what will hap
pen, it Is safe prediction that the
state.
Cheer up. No matter how much 1t
rains In Iowa, Georgia promises an
enormous peach crop. That state has
100000 peach trees, of which 13.000,-
600 are bearing this year.
1t seems strange that Chairman New
gave newspaper men cause to grumble
at their allotment at the Chicago con-
vention. Can it be that Harry has
forgotten the days he spent as a re-
porter on the indianapolis Journal
when 1t was owned by his father, the
late John c. New?
LATE denies that he told any Chicago
reporter that Cummins would look bet
ter on the Bryan ticket, but Lafe's
newspaper in Des Moines considered
that the interview sounded enough
like LATE to be given a first page slug
head
Those Cummins men who were so
delicate in the spring as to believe that
control of the delegate convention In
March was of no Importance in the
main contest between Cummins and
Allison, are now getting stomach full
for their Indifference.
Towns which neglect to provide in
specton of milk supply had better bid
for the location of a tuberculosis SAM
tarium. In Marshalltown the veterin-
airy has discovered many baby being
fed on infected milk. Oh, it Is nothing
until the experience strikes into your
own family.
A Chicago paper tells US the fact,
otherwise obscure, that Chauncey De-
pew is at the convention. Once he was
called the peach" 10, how are the
mighty fallen!
Why is 1t that John Hays Hammond
was the only one to speak up, and no
one would pay any attention to him?

Tho Bungalow.
Irving Harrington in Woman
Home Companion for JULY.
There's one word / hear
Wherever 1 go;
Ills a queer Importation,
The word bungalow.
All over the land,
The North and the South
The bungalow theme is
in every ones mouth.
The master and mistress,
The groom and the maid
Are studying plans
To see how they're made.
One kinds built of plaster,
Another of logs,
But all are constructed
s With quaint little joys.
There is one room in front
Half dozen combined;
The others are fastened
Somewhere on behind.
But then, after all,
The most room Is outside,
Where porches are broad
And mosquitoes abide.
It's the funniest thing
Whatever / do,
I've just got to have
A bungalow, too!
