To most persons Edward Young Is the author of "Night Thoughts" and nothing more. but he was also man of the world and shrewd and caustic wit as we'll as the rector of St. Mary's church at Welwyn.
 It was there in the garden of the rec tory that he composed some of the best impromrtu verses known. He was walking with two ladies when some one summoned him to the house. His companions were agreeable. and he was in DO haste to leave them. Turn ing as he reached the gate. he said: Thus Adam looked when from the garden

Mayor Finds Law Under which He
Thinks City Can Act.
Mayor Thomas Maloney who before be-
ing elected chief executive of the munich
pality OF Council Bluffs had come to be
known as the Patron Saint of Indian
Creek, believes he has discovered the salu-
ton OF the periodical flood problem in the
statute empowering cities to change and
improve water courses within their limits
and in the law empowering cities to issue
bounds In excess of the statutory limit OF
Indebtedness for the construction OF sewers,
The statute empowering cities to change
and improve water courses within their
limits was enacter by, the Twenty-third
general assembly and wal supplemented
and amended by acts of the Thirtieth gen
eral assembly. 1t gives to cities the power
to widen, deepen, ~straighten. change and
otherwise improve water courses and con-
struet levees. entertainments for the pur-
pose Of protecting lots. lands and other
property from danger and damage from
floods and high water. II also gives cities
the power to issue bonds or assessment
certificates and to levy taxes for the pay
ment of these securities, II the amount
involved is too great to be met by a single
years tax, The law further gives cities
the power to condemn private. property
necessary for carrying into execution plans

BISON PARK IN BLACK HILLS
Plan to Propagate Almost Extinct
Animal Rt Government Forest
Reserve.

PIERRE. S. D., July n-(special.)-An
effort is being made TO secure congressional
action looking toward the establishing OF
a national bison park within the Black
Hills Forest reserve, presumably some
where on Rapid Creek. For this purpose
"scotty'' Philip has agreed to divide his
herd held on the Missouri river as II is
becoming too large for the range which
has for the holding OF his animals,
Such a move would aid in the propagation
and increase OF these animals In the north
west, and the Black Hills section is looked
upon as very favorable to the handling
and propagation OF these animals, once
so plentiful in the northwest. but becoming
more and more rare, and harder to secure.

DIES MONIES, July u.-CSpecial)-For
many years with but slight exceptions
the earnings Of the railroads in Iowa have
steadily increased and for the last six
years the taxes they have paid to the
state Of Iowa nave steadily increased. This
year there is a total falling off in the
gross earnings Of about 5000, 900. The
North western railroad alone shows a loss
Of nearly $4,000. 900, the Chicago, Milwaukee
g. St Paul a little over SLOOO,OO0 and the
Rock Island a loss of over S625, 900.
In view Of the loss in gross earnings this
year the question is whether the execu-
tive council will lower the assessment.
Railroad assessments have figured promi-
nently in every political campaign for
many years and are more or less OF a
live issue yet.
The executive council will meet tomor-
row for the purpose Of taking up the as
sessment Of the railroads and II Is ex-
pected that the representatives Of the
railroads will appear before the council
and ask for a reduction of their assess
ment in accordance with the reductions
In their earnings, The state law relative
to the assessment Of railroads directs the
council to AXE into consideration every
element, including the physical condition
and cost OF construction, as well as the
earnings, and the council might therefore
find excuses sufficient, no doubt, to leave
the assessment as 1t Is II they so choose.

which had fallen into IN open sewer on

sewers is not in our line," replied Chief
Nicholson. You had better tell your
roubles to Major Richmond, chief Of
police. He is the city marshal"
The owner Of the horse took Chief
Nicholson's advice and called up police
headquarters. Sergeant NicoIl referred him
to Contractor wickham who put in the
sevser. Neighbors finally came to the rescue
