Would License Motormen.

AS the result of the verdict of the
coroner's jury which laid the blame
for the street car wreck at Nineteenth
and Woodland avenue in which w. l.
Robb lost his life and sixty-five peo-
pie were injured, on the motorman
of the Inflated car, A. A. Persons, a
petition addressed to the city coun-
Gil is being circulated among the Uni
versity Place residents. 1t asks the
city council to provide that in the
future applicants for the position of
motorman be compelled to pass an
examination and receive motor
mans license. The petition is headed
by Sumner d. Shank of Twenty-third
and University Place and is meeting
with great encouragement from the
residents of the section affected by
the accident. The verdict rendered
by the jury lays the blame for the
wreck on the inexperience of Persons
but it does not criminally implicate
him.

Commission Has Queer Case.

The members of the state railway
commission are bordering over pc
culiar controversy at Davenport be-
tween the Clark Coal & Coke COM
pany and the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway company.
The Milwaukee company has re-
fused to take cars loaded with coal
from other railway companies and
carry them to points on the Milwau-
kee unless the coal is reloaded at
Davenport into Milwaukee cars. This
action of the railway company is I'M
just and unlawful, the coal company
claims.
The commission heard the case in
Davenport but has handed down no
decision as yet. Special Counsel
George Cosson of the attorney gen
erals office is aiding the commission
in the controversy.

Farmers Not Cared For.

II am greatly surprised to find that
the state of Iowa-one of the fore
most in agricultural 7pursuits-has no
agricultural department. The far
mers of the state should make an
effort to secure the creation Of a de-
par.ment to work for their interests"
This is the statement of F. NJ. God
frey of New York president of the
executive committee of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry or the National
Grange association, who came 10 Des
Moines for the forty-third
session of the great farmers organ
ization which opened for a ten days
session November 10.
ut is certainly surprising to find
that the state which leads all others
in many features of farming should
be without department to guide
and assist the agriculturists added
Mr. Godfrey.
The state of New York has al
excellent agricultural department. 1t
is modelled after the national depart.
ment of agriculture at Washington,

tions, and its duties are rapidly be.

Admen Enjoy Talk by Powers.

Inconsistency of the advertising,
Indifference of the advertiser, weak
ness of the copy and lack of continu-
ity of the insertions in the adver-
Using mediums were given by
Charles Eugene Powers as the four
great reasons why some advertising
fails in his address to the Des
Moines Admens club at the Y. NJ. c.
A. 1t was the first of a series of
monthly lectures on advertising and
craftsmanship which the club will con-
duct this winter. Powers, who is a
copy writer for several of the larg-
est firms of Chicago, proved an inter
esting talker. He clearly proved that
he knew advertising when he saw it
and he dropped many valuable little
hints to the admen of Des Moines.

WHITLEY

INSTANCES are common enough where dogs
and horses, and even cats, have been in
strumental in saving human life: but this is
the first instance in the writer's knowledge OF
such remarkable actions by rat
One of the two boys of Danish family Of
four named Nelson living in Southern Wis
consin given a white rat named Whitley,
which became SO contented that it never at
tempted to run away. notwithstanding that it
was given the run of the house
Before retiring one night the husband filled
the bedroom stove with soft coal At about
three in the morning Mrs Nelson was disturbed
by something pulling and scratching at her
hand and wrist, and awoke to find the
filled with gas, and Whitley squealing and jump
ing on the floor beside her. She was nause-
ated and weak that she could do no more than
roll off to the floor and crawl to the stairs
When attempting to descend, she fell to the
bottom, her head resting near the front door
The cold draft entering under the door finally
reused her. and her screams for help brought
the neghbors, who revived her husband.
Whitley died peacefully a year later, and a
friend of the family diagnosed the case as one
Of gout.

movement was on foot there to estab-
lish a large savings bank and trust
company, Mr.. Wilson was selected as
the only man capable Of going in and
taking charge Of the institution and
insuring it at once large public con-
fidence and favor. He, however,
quickly refused to consider the mat
ter. preferring to remain associated
with Senator Harry A. Richardson.
A man of fine parts, he was noted for
his pleasant manner and greetings for
the smblayes and many grievances
or business difficulties were carried
to him for settlement or advice. The
death of his young bride-wife, who
was a daughter of Robert H. Will
son. threw such q cloud over his life
that he rarely ever went out socially
or even to attend public meetings,
but continued the labor of his life,
that of helping to build up for Dover
a great industry. Funeral services
were held yesterday and the remains
brought to Glenwocd Cemetery, Smyr-

Bank of England Faces New Peril.

! London, April 16.-Mr. Newly,
the gentleman who attended the gen.
eral court of the proprietors of the
| Bank of England on Thursday and
asked as to the security of the forty
millions of gold in coin and ingots
| in the bank vaults from attack by
airships, is a Billingsgate ice mer-
chant in an important way of bust
ness and a familiar figure at COM
pany meetings in the city. cts an
| important, a very important matter"
said Mr.. Newly. "You will have OBJ
served that I put a question to the
governor of the bank which he was
obliged to admit that he was unable
to answer He said it was a hypo-
thetical question, whatever that may
mean"
1t was not, Mr.. Newly said, his
business to suggest how the danger
from airships should be met. "You
know the Bank of England people.
They are so wrapped up in them
selves that they would not accept
any suggestions from anybody. But
Iif l were asked to suggest means
of defense | should say sand. Bags
of sand piled up over the Vaults
would be invulnerable to any bomb
that could be discharged against
them. Sand, or, perhaps, wool. Wool
also is very good, am told. 1t is
not my business to know which is
best. but I should be inclined to ia
vor sand on the ground above the
vaults. You cannot take too many
precautions And there is another
source of danger that is suspected"
he said to his interviewer. Il do
not know whether you are woman
suffragist. No? Well, neither am 1.
But there are a great number of wo-
men in the bank. It is full OF wo-
men. Very few people know that.
Every married man knows that there
never was woman born who could
keen a secret from her husband or
lover. But there are in the bank
many women" And Mr.. Newly
shook his head very gravely.
