Mouton has no factories, or no
large industries. but it is town that
has something to be proud of. To
promote education is undoubtedly to
promote the general welfare of the
nations. In her schools Moulton has
something to be justly proud of Under
the supervision of Prof J. w. Miller
the schools this year have been fully
accredited. Among the schools of the
state Moulton high school ranks III,
larger than some of the larger towns
near her. The senior class this year
carries out with it 16 members, the
largest for some time All prepare.
TOMS are being made now for the
class play to be given The play is
the revised Merchant of Venice" and
there are competent persons in the
class to handle their respective parts.
The high school has also been crown.
ed by athletic victories in the past
year. Victory I'D victory has perchea

ball, baseball, basketball ball and
tennis. What is a city without
school? Moulton truthfully has one of
the best schools in southern Iowa.

Then isn't it genuine?'' she asked
anxiously.
"Genuine Why, of course not.
Nothing that Jean Adam has anything
to do with, my dear young lady, is
ever genuine. Depend upon it that
his majesty the SULTAN will never
grant any such concession. He fears

is, as you say, a big thing to be made
out of it-a very big thing. But while
the sultan lives the line will never

time I was in Belgrade, and I'm en-
tirely of his opinion
But what you tell me regarding Mr..

Rolfe! You have many surprises yet

light laugh. do you know Adam per-

Yes

"Oh what's its nature?" asked the
old f1nancier, instantly pricking uI
his ears.
II believe it's concession from the
Sultan for the construction of a rail
way from some place on the Servian
frontier, across Northern Albania
down to San Giovanni di Medua-If

Adriatic"

Are you quite certain of this?'
Eyes; why?" she asked, surprised at
the sudden effect her words had pro-
duced upon him.
"Well-well, because this is sur
prise to me, Miss Rolfe,' he said. 'Tell
me the details, as far as you know
them. Has he spoken to you about
it,"
yes. He is hesitating to go, not
wishing to leave me-
"Of course Did not tell you SO a
moment ago?" he remarked with a
smile. But are you aware that this
concession, if the Sultan really gives
it, is of the greatest Importance to the
commercial development of the Near
East? There are big interests involv
ed, and correspondingly big profits
Curious that l have not heard any
thing of the scheme lately It's u
dream that every Balkan statesman
has had for the past fifteen years-the
creating of an outlet for trade to the
Adriatic; but the Sultan could never
be induced to allow the line to run
through his dominion. He is not too
friendly with either Bulgaria or Servia.

ATTACK ANOTHER MERCER
SUIT FILED AGAINST NEW YORK,
NEW HAVEN a HARTFORD.
Government Seeks to Restrain II From
Exercising Control Over Bos-
ton q Maine.

Boston, May pa bill In equity ia
restrain the New York, New Haven q
Hartford Railroad company from ex'
ercising any control over the Boston
& Maine railroad, and to separate the
New Haven road from the various
trolley lines 1t has acquired, was filed
in the United States circuit court here
Friday by United States District At
torney Asa P. French, acting for the
federal government.
The bill in equity was brought un-
der the Sherman act of 1890 and
charges that the New Haven road ac-
quired numerous trolley lines and is
attempting to control the Boston &
Maine railroad in restraint of trade.
The petition claims that If the New
Haven road is not restrained from
holding the trolley lines and voting
stock Of the Boston & Maineroad that
a situation will be created with re-
spect to the transportation instrument
talitles and facilities of New England
which will eventually enable the New
Haven company to control for all the
time the interstate transportation not
only among the New England states,
but between such states and the sew
eral other states of the union.
The defendants in the bill are the
New Haven company, the BostoH 6
Maine Railroad company, the consoli-
dated railway company and the Provi-
dence Securities company.

MADEPOOR RECORD
PRESENT SESSION OF CONGRESS
FAILED TO ACT ON MANY I'M
PoRTANT QUESTIONS.
ELECTION GIVEN As CAUSE
No Doubt More Legislation Would
Have Resulted Had There Been
No National Election
i Pending.

Washington, May 23.-A resume Of
the present session of congress ELECTS
the interesting fact that there were
more important questions presented to
and discussed by congress on which
the public generally, or sections or
classes demanded action than ever be-
fore in its history. A majority Of
these were Of President Roosevelt's
making. Comparatively, the enact
ments were few On the other hand,
the aggregate Of appropriations was
great and when the final figures are
obtainable 1t is not doubted that they
will exceed those Of any previous SEES
sion in times of peace.
Standing consplcuously above all
other questions with which congress
dealt was the effort to pass an emer-
gency currency bill. Thrust upon the
attention Of legislators at the opening
OF the session by financial depres-
sion that had not fully subsidized, 1t was
the first big question to be considered.
Likewise 1t was the hardest to meet
and 1t did more to delay adjournment
than any other measure. The senate
and house failed to agree, with the
result that a commission Of senators
and representatives In congress, whose
duty It is to study the question and
report at the next session, was the
alternative adopted.
Numerous bills affecting labor were
considered by both the senate and
house. in the form In which the bills
were presented organized labor was
not heartily behind them, and cues.

OF many o. the measures, in the light
81 recent decisions by the supreme
court o. the United States, raised 9th

It is conceded that more legislation
would have resulted had It not been
for the pending national elections. The
elections placed the majority in a deli
cate situation--a fact not overlooked
BY the Democrats in the house, who
further complicated the Republicans
position by a filibuster to compel the
passage Of measures demanded by
President Roosevelt and opposed by
majority Of the Republicans in both
branches Of congress.
Out of this condition Of affairs was

4 PUBLICITY BILL.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS RAss MEAS.
URE ovHR PRbTnaTs or
The DEMOCRATS.
REDUCES REPRESENTATION
An Amendment Was Tackled on the
Measure Which Caused Bitter
DenunciatIcn by South
ern Democrats.

Washington, May 23.-A campaign
contribution publicity bill, embodying
an amendment by Mr.. Crumpacker Of
Indiana, providing for reduction in
the state representation In the house
Of representative in those states hav-
ing Acknowledgement laws, was passed
by the house Friday by a vote of 100
to 1875 following a lively debate. The
measure was brought up under sus-
pension of the rules and 40 minutes
were allowed In which to discuss 1t.
The southern members in particular
were bitter in their denunciation Of
the apportionment provision Of the
bill. Mr.. Williams, the minority lead.
er, was especially vigorous in his at.
tack, characterizing the bill as being
an attempt to revive the conditions Of
reconstruction days. After the Crum.
packer amendment the Democrats
voted against the bill in its entirety.
IA brief, the provision regarding pub.
licity of campaign contributions Is
made applicable to the national com.
mittees and the national congressional
campaign committees Of all political
parties and all committees, assocla-
tons or organizations which shall, in
two or more states. influence the re-
suit or attempt to influence the re-
suit of an election at which represen.
tatives in congress are to be elected.
The Crumpacker amendment pro-
vides for the re-enactment Of certain
sections Of the old federal election
law, except that the idea of the un-
enacted force bill authorizing the use
Of troops at the polls is eliminated. It
also provides that the director of the
census shall submit to congress re-
port Of population showing the num-

congress to ascertain the apportion-

that II is especially applicable to the
southern states, such, nevertheless, is
accepted as the fact
