THE CHRONICLE is pleased to note
that the new post office building is to
be located on the park. While not an
ideal building spot for the purpose OF
showing off an Imposing building, it
will be convenient of access for the
people generally, and that is the
purpose for which it is to be erected,
to serve the public.

DRINKING on Trains.

Dubuque Times-Journal: Iowa now
has law prohibiting drinking on
trains. The first case under it was
tried last week and resulted in the
discharge of the defendant for lack
of evidence. Nebraska has sim
liar law and the railway companies
have failed to post notice of it in the
trains as required by the statute it
self The railway commission now
has ordered them to do So
The law provides that it is a mis-
demeanor for any person to be drunk
on train or to drink liquor on a
train. 1t is made the duty of the
conductor to notify the drinking pas
senger to stop, and if the passenger
fails to obey the first suggestion the
conductor is to repeat it. Then it is
the duty of the conductor to GUST the
passenger at some station. No pen
atty attaches to the train crew if the
law is not obeyed.
Ben T. White of the Northwestern
informed the commission last week
that his road had several suits started
against it fol putting intoxicated per-
sons off the train. He also said the
train crews had been supplied with
cards upon which the law is printed.
which are handed to passengers who
are obstreperous from drink. He dis
liked the idea of posting the notices
on the cars which travel interstate.
Such statutes demand too much of
the train crews. 1t should be suffic-
lent to authorize them to remove
drunken or disorderly persons from
the train.

FINANCE COMMITTEE OUT
Members Were Out Again This Morn.
ing Soliciting More Funds
For the Fall cele-
bration.

A meeting of the directors of the
street fair association was held last
evening at eight o'clock at the Com
mercial club rooms. A report of sew
eral of the committees was heard and
the members of the finance committee
again ordered to solicit from those
who have not yet been seen. The to-
tai amount of subscriptions this year
to date will fall short of those of last
year by about 81, 900 The reason for
this slump in the subscriptions can
not be ascertained as all approached
are in favor of a fall celebration of
some kind this year, though the nee
essary amount of funds to give first
class fair are not forthcoming and ex-
penses will have to be Whitfield some
where. This can be partly done on
the free attraction end of the celebra-
ton. There will be only two free at
fractions, at least that is all that have
been booked to date, Rice H. Bell re-
porting last evening that w. G.. Daven-
port and wife had been secured for the
high wire attraction. This act will
probably be as good as two of any 9TH
err kind and always takes with street
fair crowds.

Land Values lncreaslno.

Mt. Pleasant News: An article now
going the rounds of the Iowa papers
gives the details of two dozen trans
fers OF land in Hardin county within
the past two months. The average
price for which the land sold in these
two dozen transactions was $107.20
per acre. There were several farms
in the lot that sold for s125. One farm
of $50 acres, which was bought fifteen
years ago at $50 an acre, sold for
$50, bringing the owner a profit Of
$4,000. One farm of 200 acres, which
was bought four years ago for S65 an
acre, sold for 500, giving its owner a
profit of $1,000. The top notch was
reached in the sale Of a farm near
here last week for the sum Of 1910
In nearly every issue of the Iowa
papers there is some reference
to land sale at fancy prices. In most
of these cases If the matter were trac-
ed down it would be shown that the
sale of the land brought a handsome
profit to the man who sold.
The sale of these lands have not
been brought about through govern
ment lotteries There have been no
special trains bringing prospective
buyers in from the four quarters OF
the globe There have been no public
ity campaigns, promising wonderful
returns for small investments. The
land has sold strictly on its merits,
the buyer realizing that he was max
ing safe investment In securing land
of established value that assured him

BONAPARTE MAN
SENDS DOLLAR
TO the Humane Society While keo.
kuk People are Very Slow IN
Helping the Cause.

Although the humane society is sup
posed to be a local organization yet
the people OF this city do not support
1t as they should and the officers have
a hard time getting aid. Just recent
ly the president sent out communi-
cation which was published in the
papers of this city stating that more
members and more money was needed
to carry on the work Of the club and
just yesterday the following letter was
received from Bonaparte man:
Boraparte, Iowa, Sept. 81, 09.
Mr.. Edgar Cochrane.
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find a
money order for $1O0 which you will
place in the hands OF the humane
society

neatred man who believes that AM
mails should be we'll treated and who
is liberal enough to help an organiza-
ton like the one to which he sent the
money. along so that the greatest
amount OF good can be done. Presi-
dent Wilkinson states that he does
not see why the citizens OF Keokuk
do not show their appreciation of the
good work being carried On by the
society by paying a dollar and be-
coming member of the organization.
He says further that the people out
around the powder works are assisting
the cause by sending in the member
ship Zee, although the local citizens
are very slow In responding.
