Perfumes were highly esteemed

OF the Pharaohs their use was car

with perfumes more or less agreeable,
and on feast days perfumed waters
were poured into the streams.
Did not the Shunamite plunge her

The Greeks had a certain perfume

They highly esteemed the waters

Juse before the trial 1 talked with
his mother. She sad that 50 far as
she knew her son had always been a

time of the murder he had never given

Which shows that she knew abso-

REAL SCHOOL TO BE OPENED

For the first time in the history of
Iowa, a full-fedged school with princi-
pal and teachers is to be opened at
the Anamosa reformatory and young
convicts with ambition can improve
the time spent behind prison bars by
getting the rudiments of good edu-
cation.
John Cownie, chairman of the state
board of control, is now examining
plans for the new school room, which
will be 59x35 feet in size and fully
equipped with desks and blackboards.
The board is looking for principal,
and one or more assistants will be
employed. Among the convicts are
several former school teachers. One
of these may be chosen as instructor
The establishing of a regular school
at the reformatory is in line with the
policy of the board to help as we'll as
punish the younger criminals and give
them the industrial and mental train
ing they failed to get outside, on the
theory that their poor equipment for
earning living Is in many instances
responsible for their getting into trou-

At the twelfth district convention
of w. &C. T. u, held in Dubuque re-
Gently, one of the principal speakers
was Mrs. Ida B. Wise, state vice
president of the organization, whose
address created great deal Of inter
est. 1t was the contention of Mrs.
Wise that the low wages of the av-
erage working woman Is the cause
of the decentralization Of many of
them. Mrs. Wise has done exceptional
work along purity lines in the state,
and her great experience should en-
able her to speak advisedly.
Mrs. Wise says the greed of the
manufacturer and the department
store owner, and also the anxiety of
women as a whole to buy cheap
clothes, the love of dress and the
liquor traffic are all reasons why
there ia lack of purity in the coun.
try and why the young women are led
astray. She advances as q remedy
the child born under proper condi'
tions, environment, the training of
children in regard to the truths about
life and it's sanctity. Temperance
was also advanced as a great means

LAWS COST BIG MONEY.

While 1t costs considerable money
to purchase a copy of the code and
supplement and session laws of the
state of Iowa and they can be had
only by purchase or else by being
elected to the legislature, yet the citi.
zen interested in particular laws can
get almost anything except the Grim
inaI laws free. The state auditor has
completed a compilation of the laws
on insurance, banking, corporation
laws, and revenue laws which has
been printed in separate pamphlet.
The secretary of state has completed
a compilation of the road laws, drain
age laws, and primary election and
election laws, and the labor commits
sioner has had the labor laws com.
piled and published. Each of these
pamphlets gives all the laws on the
subject down to and including those
passed by the last session of the leg
islature.
The fact is the last two or three
sessions of the legislature have added
so much to the statutes in the way Of
amendments that 1t was necessary to
have those printed. Inquirers for the
laws had to be told that the old PAM
phlets were not complete when they
were sent out.

was left to him by the late Senator
Allison, and he has decided that he
could dispose of his own set In no
better way. The G.. A. r. post will

to put in switch from the Rock Is.

ranged. The state appropriation pays
for the grading and the -ight-of.way,
and the railroad will lay the ties and

AS soon as the institutions at In.

MORE lNTERURBAN TALK.

Messrs. Dows, Smith and Reed, Of
the Cedar Fapids C Iowa City Rail
way and Light Company have secured
the promise of capital sufficient to
build another interurban, and work
will be commenced in the field at an
early date, probably in charge of En-
gineer j. d. Wardle, and 1t is hoped
to commence construction early in the
spring.
AS to the route and territory to be
traversed. that will not be decided
until the return of Col. BOWS from the
east, but there are two that are most
favored and both have their points,
both to the company and the city.
The Cedar Rapids-W route
would feed directly into the Cedar
Rapids-Iowa City line from this end
and would give straight, continuous
route. and which experience has
taught is the most profitable. There
are the towns of Urbana and Brandon
to be considered in the construction,
if the route should go by one direc-
ton, and Vinton and either Urbana
or Brandon If another route should be
decided upon.
1t is well known that the passenger
traffic must maintain an electric road
for the first four years of its opera
ton, as that length of time Is ordi-
narily required to secure a perma.
nent freight business.
The other route much In favor is
the extension from Iowa City to Mus
catine, which would give Cedar Rap
ids beneficial freight rate from river
points and allow the interurban an.
other Milwaukee connection. This
route for summer passenger traffic
would probably pay better than any
other that could be located in the
state, following an established line.
While the two routes above men.
, toned are being seriously discussed,
the interurban officials have had sew
eral other surveys made, and the
question of right-of-way will cut an
important figure in their final decision.
1t is said. however, that with an
additional expenditure of $4,000 for
equipment at the power house both
the Cedar Rapids Waterloo line and
the Muscatine extension could be op-
Grated.

He weighs 80 pounds, is only IS

when IL years old and acquired a

on exhibition he has accumulated
quite little amount for a rainy day.
Unlike most small people, the major
manages all his business transactions
and is owner and manager of his show
when on exhibition. He does not go
out on exhibition during the winter
season, but travels and visits most of
the time. When not travelling he
makes his home with his parents in

of a jolly disposition and very fond of
