of modern life, strongly knit in con-
StructlOn, with situations OF sufficient
variety and tension as to offer Miss
Ward the best role of her successful
career. At the end of her American
season last spring Miss Ward played

were equally as cordial in their appro-

TOAD EVIDENTLY A THINKER
Clever Maneuver by Which Batrach.
Ian Fooled His lnveterate
Enemy, the Serpent.

The following snake story was told
some years ago by reputable citi
zen of knson county: Driving along
public road one day he saw toad
frog crossing the road at top speed
hitting only the high places and few
of them. AS the frog disappeared in
the bosky underbrush on one side a
black snake in hot pursuit made it's
appearance on the other The story
teller followed the two into the bushes
to see what the result would be. He
had proceeded only short distance
when he found the frog at bay. fac
ing the snake and with the latter Giro
ling about in the effort to make an
attack from the rear His frogship
kept turning all the time, always fac
ing the enemy
The reason of this maneuyer on the
snakes part was that the frog had in
its mouth, held crosswise and about
the middle, d stick about the size and
length of lead pencil The frog knew
the snake could not swallow him SO
long as he presented such a front.
The man watched the performance
for some time and when he left the
snake was still circling the frog and
the latter facing it's enemy on every
turn.-Charlotteville Observer

B. r. Heitman Has Filed Suit In the
District Court Against the Mis-
sissippi Valley TeIe-
phone Company.
FOR INJURIES RECEIVED
plaintiff Claims Defendant Left Wires
in Bad Condition Across Right
Of Way Causing Perma-
nent Disfisuration.

and across the right of way of the
railroad company and that when the
train on which he was running,
reached point near the Santa Fe
shops south of Fort Madison, he was
standing on the front of the train,
being on top of one of the cars.
Three teeth were knocked out when
he came in contact with the wire his
face and jaw were cut. lacerated and
bruised when he was thrown to the
top of the car and his body and Shout
der sprained and bruised.

through the negligence of the Missis-
sippi Valley Telephone company in
leaving their wires in bad and
sagging condition that his accident
occurred, about two years ago.
Hoffman was laid up for forty-fiye
days, during which time he was given
medical attention and suffered great

nrays Judgment in the sum of ten

ceived by being knocked down by the
wires.

Ottumwa, July 30.-A graft has been
unearthed here that is decidedly new.
"A change of color is taking place in
numerous pretty, cute, little yellow
feathered creatures, imported" from
the Canary Islands, Hartz Mountains
or any other place that sounded good,
that were passed off to Ottunwans by
takers who visited the city recently
Their feathers are no longer of a vel
low color, but are rapidly taking upon
themselves a new or rather their old
hue, that of a grayish brown, and the
startling realization that they have
been stung is just beginning to dawn
upon some of the purchasers very
dimly at first, but with ever increas-
ing reality that can not be longer
doubted.
The Paddle Game.
The fellow who got rid of them was
quite clever. He sold them by chance
on a wheel of fortune, each person
paying a dime for the paddle, and il
the wheel stopped upon any number
which the paddle contained, the per-
son holding said paddle got THE Cam
ary." This gave the person getting the
bird no opportunity to examine the
dear little things" and see what they
were getting for their cold cash. Some
people spent Thirty, forty and fifty
cents before landing an alleged chirp-
er. All the more stung. When they did
get one, they would gather it under
thEir arms and strut about for awhile,
as if to say, Hsee what a bargain I
got" and then walk on air all the way
home, planning what they would buy
with the money they saved on the deal.
But they are now waking up to the
fact that the little wooden cage was
worth more than the bird.
Was Smooth CRATER.
The graft was a smooth one and one
calculated to humbug the people, as II
most certainly did. Those little
"whistlers" were nothing more than
Ia lot of English sparrows captured by
the CRATER, and dipped in yellow
solution which turned them out with
every likeness of a canary They
were Gagged up and six or seven real
canaries were mixed in with them;
one in each cage. The real article
kept up a steady chirp, which Of
course made everyone think the en-
tire bunch were warblers.
There are not many people around
the city who are talking much about
this matter, and altho stung they
are keeping quiet on the subject but
the number of empty bird cages tell
the story more eloquently than words.

NEW POINT RAISED ON
DISPUTED MOON PROVISION
Attorney Who Helped Pass Bill Do
clares Saloon Permits Secured to
Evade Provisions of New Law Must
Be Used in Reasonable Time or Be-
come Void.
Special to Times-Republican

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, July 3O.-In the opin-
ion of Senator Charles G. Saunders.
who was a member of the recent legis-
lature that passed The Moon saloon
law. resolutions of consent to operate
saloons lapse if not used within a rea-
sonable time. If this opinion holds
good and his argument is apparently
sound. it puts new phase on the con-
test now going on in many cities of
the state.
Senator Saunders does not agree
with the theory of Attorney General
Byers as to the application of the Moon
law to all resolutions of consent given
since April Is, when the Moon law
was signed by Governor Carroll.
Where resolutions of consent have been
issued by city councils, not to be used,
but to be held for future contingencies,
however, Mr.. Saunders believes such
resolutions lapse If not used within a
reasonable period.
Senator Saunders believes this in
depreciation of THE law will dispose of
resolutions of consent which, it is
claimed, have been given by councils in
some Iowa cities for the purpose of
evading the Moon law. He says he
does think the liquor dealers in Coun-
Gil Bluffs are open to such an attack,
and does not believe they will be dis
turbed, so long as they continue. as
they are now doing, to comply strict
ly with the mulct law.
81 have not investigated the question
of unused resolutions of consent" said
Senator Saunders yesterday, land pos
