GETTING INTO BAND WAGON.
Burlington Saloon Men also say "Let's
Be Good.

Be Good".
Burlington.-The evident desire Of
the influential liquor dealers of Bur.
llngton is to have the laws obeyed In
their business. They evidently see
that 1t Is safer and better for the vel.
rare Of their business to conform to
the DEGREES of the court concerning
the hours Of closing, and of manner
OF conducting the business. Strict
cautions have been given out to all
saloon Keepers in the city that they
must conform to the letter and spirit
o. the rulings Of the court. The II.
quor dealers have sent out this warn
Ing in self-defense. They find that a
number of saloons have not been liv-
ing up to the requirements, and
those offenders have been warned that
they will either have to obey the reg
ulations or lose the support of the
liquor interests in case they are ap-
pretended. The main thing that the
liquor men fear is that the violation
of the regulations by one or two sa-
loon men will bring down upon the
heads of all, including those that are
honestly conforming to the demands
of the law, the heavy hand of those
who are able to enforce the rigorous
requirements of the mulct law in it's
entirety.
Already several saloon men have
been cited before the court as having
broken the law by keeping open later
than permitted, and it is feared this
will lead to drastic action by the an.
ti-saloon authorities. ss

pisposlna Of the Baby.

Little Freddy was the only child In
the family. He had no little sisters or
brothers to play with him, so when
he was told that baby sister had
come, he was very happy. But he soon
found that father and mother did not
pay so much attention to him as they
formerly had, and that baby seemed
to be considered Of more account
than he. This worried Freddy; but he
suddenly thought Of something which
would help him out of his trouble
Some weeks before his father had put
a sign up: ashes to Give Away; In
quire Within" Freddy remembered
that man had come and taken the
ashes away. So he got to work, and
one day surprised his father by dis
playing another sign, hung in promi
nent place: "A BABY to give away

YET ANOTHER INrERURBAN.
Electric Line Proposed From siou,
City to Council Bluffs.

Electric Line Proposed From Sioux
City to Council Bluffs.
Sioux City.-Still another interur.
ban line has been projected in west
ern Iowa-a line from Sioux City to
Council Bluffs and Omaha. There
hasn't been as much talk about it as
some others proposed in Iowa, but the
men back of it have been working
not talking. and they have already
raised $1,000 in Monona county to
make the preliminary surveys.
F. W. Bisbee of Castana is the chief
mover. He wrote to Sioux City bust
ness men recently that he already had
$1,000 in hand for preliminary work
and that more could be secured. He
asked the cooperation of Sioux City
business men to secure joint meet
ing of business men of Sioux City,
Omaha, Council Bluffs and other
towns en- route, and such meeting
will probably be held within week
or so.
The route is considered entirely
feasible and the territory through it
passes is very rich and productive and
would furnish fine trade territory for
the cities along the line.

Waterloo.-W. H. Hattendorf Of
Waverly, by his GOODNESS and cour.
age saved Vera Brewer, aged IA,
from death by burning. While at
nome alone heating her irons over a
gasoline stove set low on the floor,
while ironing, Miss Brewer had the
misfortune to ignite her skirt as she
switched it over the blaze unthink-

the blaze she ran to the front door to
wrap rugs that were on the porch

Then she rushed out the back door
and into the open air. Mr.. Hatten.

saw the girl running towards him
with the fleetness of a deer mass
of smoke and flames trailing behind.
me young man quickened his pace,
taking off his coat as he ran, and
when he met the girl, wrapped the
garment about her, smothering the
names with the coat and beating the
blaze with his bare hands Miss
Brewer was terribly burned from her
knees to her body. and may not re-
cover, Though she is doing as we'll
as could be expected.
The manner in which Miss Brewer
stood the painful ordeal is said by
Mr.. Hattendorf to have been truly
remarkable. She stood stock still
while he put out the flames and utter
ed no sound despite her suffering.
When the flames had been smoth-
cred, the girl turned grateful eyes
upon her rescuer and said, THANK
you," as calmly as though he had
stopped to pick up her fallen glove.
Hattendorf was painfully burned
about one hand, the other being pro-
tected by the coat sleeve.
