Explanation.

Waterloo, May 3.-The promoters Of
the Iowa Railroad, who have secured
right of way for line from Waterloo
thru Grundy and Story counties, find
the promoters Of the Waterloo &
Southwestern. The new state laws are
so complicated that eastern capitalists
are not anxious to invest until the
tangle is Strengthened out. The fol-
lowing letter has been sent out by the
officials Of the road:
april %, 1sOs.-"To the editor:
1--WE deem it advisable, in view ct
the large number of inquiries coming
from the various cities, towns and
rural communities along the route Of
the Iowa Railroad, to advise you that
until certain legal difficulties brought
about by the present restrictive cor
poration laws Of the state Of Iowa, are
either overcome or an Interpretation
put thereon which will clearly estab-
fish confidence on the part Of invest
ors in the east, it will be impossible
at this time to state the exact date
upon which construction work will be
commenced.
"The officers of the Iowa Railroad
from the outset have been endeavor-
ing to bring to central Iowa, public
Improvement of no small Importance,
yet the difficulties to be overcome
have been such that President Os-
borne has been giving the legal end
his personal attention for several
months. Upon his last conference in
Des Moines with Governor Carroll
Secretary Davidson, Of the executive
council and other state officers, it ap-
pears that there is so much uncertain
ty as to the intent Of the present
laws and the Interpretation which the
executive council could put thereon
that the Iowa Railroad must necessar-
lily proceed very cautiously until a de-
| finite and satisfactory understanding
can be reached.
However it should be thoroughly
understood that If the people enroute
will continues to give their hearty sup.
port to the enterprise, and will entel
thoroughly into the work. Of bringing
to speedy realization the plans fol
a high class electric railroad, the OF.
ficers stand ready to make even {
greater and more determined effor
to do their part. The support thu!
far received from the press. propert,
owners, merchants, manufacturers ant
shippers has been tremendously en-
couraging, and it is our desire that al
interested should know that wit
their help we intend redoubling nu
efforts in the interest of the Iowa Rain

SEASON is ALL RIGHT
Professor Holden Declares Farmers
Should Smile at the Weather and
Not Be uneasy-Ground in Splendid
Condition for Bumper Corn Crop.


Not Be Uneasy-Ground in Splendid
Condition for Bumper Corn Crop.
Ames, May 3.-When Prof. p. G..
Holden was asked concerning the late
cold season and the wet weather he
smiled one Of his broadest smiles and
declared:
"This is just glorious Nothing about
this season to be blue about. OF course
peaches are destroyed" said he, "but
other fruit ought to be alright. The
cold weather has held the buds back so
that they ought to produce we'll the
coming summer and fall.
'"The acreage of oats will not be so
great as usual, but with new seed and
better care which has been given
above the work Of other seasons we
ought to have magnificent yield OF
oats. Corn-well we never had the
ground in better condition for corn
than the ground is as we have it today.
1T is not too moist, it is just right. We
are getting cool weather when we
should get 1t. 1t is not backward. The
trouble is farmers are too uneasy
They want to get in the fields and
plant their corn before corn planting
time. This season is alright-that is il
is alright if it doesn't last too long
When the sun comes out warm I car
just see the hum Of the planter and
the corn pillow when they get to work
intensified farming will be the WORD
and the farmer will be about the bus
lest man on earth in about ten days.
Il just feel in my bones that we are
going to have in Iowa this season
the best corn we have ever had
There will be more Of it because there
will be less oats sown than for 6
number of years. 1t will be a busy
season. Instead Of getting our colo
weather in May and June we have
been getting it in April. don't pu
myself up for a weather prophet bu
you mark my prediction that Iowa will
show up better than ever. Years o
careful observation and study O
weather conditions make me optimisti
when we have what everybody declare
is a backward season. With all thu
water in the ground we are bound t.
have a magnificent hay crop"

ANCIENT DOCTORS.
Some of the Things They Knew Twelve
Hundred Years Ago.

some OF tne niHSS tuoy NhS"
Hundred Years Ago.
The Russian Academy Of Medicine
after examining a Tibetan Hand
book of Medicine" first published l,2Oo
years ago, acknowledges that 1t con-
tains many truths discovered or redis-
covered by modern physicians. Here
are some extracts from the ancient
volume:
Number Of bones in the human
body. 800; number of nerves. 80; num-
ber of pores, 100000.
1.-THE heart is the king Of the organs
and the staff of life. The lungs EN-
brace 1t as a mother does her child.
Sicknesses are due to mans malice, is.
norance and inability to curb the pas
sions, for these things interfere with
the proper nourishment of the human
organs. All unkind thoughts react
upon the heart and liver"
The methods for ascertaining the
state of O PERSONS health were very
similar to those methods employed to-
day-looking at the tongue, feeling the
pulse, etc. Vegetable medicines are
advocated; also baths, congresses, mas
sage, bloodletting, etc. Fines were Inn
posed upon physicians who did moi
keep their instruments clean.

a Rats Tail.

A rats tail Is wonderful thing.
The great naturalist Cuvier says that
there are more muscles In this curious
appendage than are to be found in that
part of the human anatomy which Is
most admired for its ingenious struc-
ture- namely, the hand. To the rat, in
fact, Its tail serves as sort Of hand,
by means of which the animal Is en-
abled to crawl along narrow ledges or
other difficult passages, using 1t to bal
ance with or to gain hold. 1t Is pre-
henslle, like the tails of some mon
keys. BY means of 1t the little beast
can jump up heights otherwise inac-
cessible, employing IT as a projectile
spring.

A DEADLY CONTEST.
Tragic Climax of Bicycle Race In
Australia.

Tragic Climax of Bicycle Race In
Australia.
One Of the most singular events In
the annals Of athletics occurred a few
years ago at Sydney, Australia. The
occasion was a great electric light
bicycle race, and the attendance
was not less than 10000 people.
There were fifty entries, two OF whom,
James Somerville and Percy Cliff, were
not only professional rivals, but deadly
enemies. Both were considered ex.
pert riders.
From the start of the race Somer'
vile led, with Cliff close second.
Somerville kept the lead throughout
and came into the last lap with CHI
only a few feet behind him. When
about twenty-five yards from the fin
fish Somerville put on a terrific burst
Of speed and drew away from his
rival. Suddenly at this point his grip
on the handle bar relaxed, and he fell
forward. The machine, however, un'
der the tremendous impulse 1t had re-
ceived. raced ahead like an arrow. the
rider hanging Imply over the handle
bar.
-Four yards from the tape the ma,
chine slowed down little. AT this
point the front wheel of Cliffs ma
chine struck the hind wheel of Som
erville's, sending both wheel and rider
across the tape. Somerville won the
race, but he was dead several seconds
before he crossed the tape.-Chicago
