BONWELL'S MOTOR BILLS

The two motor car bills introduced
into the legislature, at Des Moines, by
Representative Bonwell had several
hearings before the railroad commit
tee, where Mr.. Bonwell made strong
argument in their favor. The railroad
attorneys were there making strong
fight against them but members of the
committee agreed thatthey were unable
to answer the arguments presented by
our member. The plea made by the
attorneys was that they will put them
on just as soon as possible of their
own motion without any legislation;
they claim the car made at Omaha is
the only successful one now manufac-
tured and that the entire product for
the coming year has been sold in adj
vance. Under these conditions and
promises the committee we're of the
opinion that it would not be right to
pass law to compel the roads to put
such cars on within the next two years
roads will make an attempt to keep
their promises. The object of the bills
was to secure the running of motor
cars on lines not having trains fire.

cOSSON BILLS PASS SENATE

In order to carry out the ideas OF
Attorney General Byers concerning
the better enforcement of the laws,
Senator Cosson introduced five bills
in the senate, and three of them have
been passed by that body.
One of these voted for by the senate
changes the time allowed for perfect
ing an appeal in criminal suits from
one year to six months.
The second defines more specifically
the duties of the sheriff who, by him
self or deputy, is to preserve the peace
in his county, ferret out crime, appre-
bend and arrest all criminals and, so
far as it is within his power, secure
evidence of all crimes committed in
the county and present the same to the
county attorney and the grand jury.
file information against all persons
whom he knows, or has reason to be-.
lieve have violated the laws of the
state, and to perform all other duties
pertaining to the Office of sheriff or
enioined upon him by law.
The third pertains to the duties of
the county attorney, which are much
more fully specified than in thepresent
law. In the bill that has passed the
senate the specified duty is to dill
gently enforce, orcause to be enforced,
all of the laws of the state, actions for
a violation of which may be commenc.
ed or prosecuted in the name of the
state of Iowa, or by him as the county
attorney, except such laws the en-
forcement of which is exclusively en-
joined upon others by statute.
The other two bills relate to the gov
ernor and the attorney general. One
is to give the governor power to re-
move, after hearing, county attorneys,
sheritfs, ayers, police officers, mar
shals and constables for misfeasance,
malfeasance or nonfeassnce in Office.
The last is to give the Encouragement

LlNcoLN's ADIEU TO SPRINGFIELD

Forty-eight years Feb. III Lincoln
left his home at Springfield, Illinois,
to go to Washington. Standing on
the rear platform of the special train
he said:
"MY FRIENDS. No one not in my
situation can appreciate my feelings of
sadness at this parting. To this place
and the kindness of these people | owe
everything. Here have lived quar-
ter OF century, and have passed from

With that assistance, | cannot tail.

that all may yet be we'll. To His care

bestowed upon any member of the
coterie OF young ladies who had ar.
ranged the affair.
A pleasing and greatly appreciated
feature was bountiful bowl of fruit
punch and q generous supply OF red
and white candy which occupied space
on table in the lower part OF the hall
and which was partaken OF after each
dance had been concluded by those who
were thirsty or who desired sweet
morsel 10 masticate. These formed
the only refreshment of the evening.
The music was excellent, several
new compositions being introduced at
this function for the first time in this
city and was furnished by Miss Dunn,
assisted by the rising young violinist,
John Rodam. Each selection was
encored aud many had To be partially
repeated during the evening
The entire combination seemed To be
perfect, for it included good floor,
line music, sweet girls and congeniel
company OF friends and schoolmates,
all OF which form combination that
cannot be beaten.
The girls disclaim any connection
with the Maccabees and the announce.
ment that this affair was to be given
under such auspices was erroneous.
They are all just Audubon's sweet
young womanhood without organiza-
ton utilization OF any kind.

The Young Ladies' Soiree

The soiree given last Friday evening
by the young ladies who have been
enjoying the Friday evening dancing
parties given by club OF young men
in the Maccabee hall during the win.
Ter was very pleasing function from
every point of view and all in attend
ance had one of the most pleasant
evenings imaginable. There were Il
couples present who alone we're to en-.
Joy the privilege of the floor, which
means that Is young ladies had invited
one of their gentlemen friends to be
present for an evenings entertainment
that was to be managed and carried
out by themselves and without the aid
of masculine assistance or sugges-
ton 1t proved success beyond even
their own expectations and now these
Is young ladies are feeling rather
proud of their executive and manager
ial ability and also for the common
dations they have received from their
guests.
The hall was beautifully decorated,
the color scheme being red and white.
The form OF the decorations was prin.
ripally on the heart order and there
were all sizes and shapes of these Dan
Cupid targets strung all over the
walls and from the ceiling. They were
suspended singly, in groups and 10
festoons and wherever the eyes ranged
there we're hearts and hearts and then
some more hearts. This emblem Of
affection was quite appropriate, how
ever, as the function was given as a
st. Valentine gathering; and as that
dear old saints mission seems to have
been the uniting of souls with but a
single thoughtjust to see il their hearts
could beat as one, so even nowadays
the same old thing is being done in
the same old way.
A unique feature OF the function was
the manner in which the order oil
dances was arranged for the gentlemen.
They were not permitted to stick 10

card had the name OF the partner they
were TO dance with each number OF the
program and so arranged that di

the circle just once and no more This

HON CHAS E BRENNAN
Member Of the General Assembly OF the
State of Wyoming

A noticeable feature of the Tenth
assembly is the remarkable number
of young men sent from the various
counties to look after the interests of
an exacting constituency. For many
years in this state the tendency has
been to rather look with disfavor on
the too-early ambitious youngster who
would be legislator, and the humber
has never been noticeably large until
the Tenth. A look over both house
and senate composing the members of
the Tenth assembly shows more than
double the young men enrolled this
year. and this fact spells progress for
the state in many ways. 1t indicates
a desire upon the part of the people
to recognize the value of youthful vigor
and enthusiasm in the conduct of cam
paigns and in furtherance of good
government-the young blood with its
forceful energy mixing with the more
sedate members producing combina-
ton at once aggressive yet conserva-
tive and conducive of the best results.
Among this number of bright young
men stands G.. E. BRENNAN, member
of the house from Fremont county,
whose work in the Tenth evidences the
fact that the voters of Fremont made
no mistake in selecting him to repre-
sent them. Mr.. BRENNAN came to the
state in 1907 from Iowa where he was
previously associated with Asmus
Boysen in the management of his
banking and other interests. AS vice.
president of the big Boysen mining
company and also of the power COM
pany, Mr.. BRENNAN assumed active
business management of the tremen-
dous work of development undertaken
by the companies, a position he still
holds. The work of constructing an
immense concrete dam across the Big
Horn river near Thermopolis, for the
purpose of furnishing power to the
mining country adjacent, has been un-
der Mr.. Breniman's supervision, and
so satisfactory has been the progress
of this work it is expected to complete
the dam carly next spring.

BONWHLL'S CLOSING BILL

Hon. J. G. Bonwell is of the opinion
that all saloons in the state of Iowa
should close IN the evening at s o'clock
and not open before ! O'Clock in the
morning and has introduced bill to
that effect in the house at Des Moines.
Under the present law they close at 10
and open ats. The passage OF Mr..
Bonwell's bill would cut of most of
the trouble caused by the saloons and
save many dollars to men who have
nothing to do but idle and drink after
supper at night. That bill ought to
receive the unanimous vote of the
general assembly.
