swENsON VALVES in PANAMA.
ISthmian Canal Commission Ap-

1t will be good news to everyone
interested in DEBORAH to learn that
the Swenson Valve Co. is receiving
reconition and it's products are be-
ing ordered from far away countries
as well as in the United States. Some
time ago samples of the improved
valves of the Swenson Valve Com
pany were submitted to the 18TH
milan Canal Commission, for use on
the construction work of the Pana-
ma Canal, and also sent to Cuba,
and word was recently received that
the canal commission after thor
ough trial had approved the valves
and issued requisition for an or
der of them to be sent to Panama
The same is true in respect to the
order in Cuba. The superiority Of
these valves over all others is being
recognized wherever they are given
a trial, and the field of operations
of the local company is being ex-
tended rapidly, a fact which all
will note with much pleasure.

FORMAL OPENING OF GRAND.
1.-THE Cat and the Fiddle" the At
traction for the Opening of the
Season, Sept. 9th.

"The Cat and the Fiddle" best of
all the musical extravaganZas will
be the attraction at the Grand
opera house Tuesday night, Sept. 6.
AS the title indicates the play tells
wonder story, the doings of the
people of the mystical Isle of Eye,
in connection with some of our own
earth beings. The motif in brief is
this: In the far away mythical Isle
of Eye, Great Gobs and Queen
Circe rule, their reign to be as long
as the Eye is kept open, and which
closes but once in a hundred years,
when sacrifice in the guise of a
maiden marked with a strawberry
on her left arm must be offered to
appease the mighty power, and con-
tinue the reign. Gobs and Gree
having dethroned the rightful ruler,
the Genii and her Gigantic Cat are
in search of the sacrifice, and we
find her in America, spiriting her
and her friends away to. take a
cruise on the wonderful ship DIAN
na." They sail away and finally
come within the wishing rays of the
wonderful Eye. Great Gobs sinks
the ship and all are washed onto
the Isle. Here they are about to
triumph and offer the maiden Folly
as the sacrifice when the CENT and
Cat appear, having been released
from their prison by one Happy"
child of fortune, and the plot is
foiled. Finally Polly and her friends
are rescued by an air ship, the Genii
and Cat placed in command of the
Isle and all ends we'll.
AS can readily be seen a story as
mythical as this will permit of gor-
geous scenic illusions, transforma-
ton, pretty ballet evolutions, en-
trancing maidens, much fun and
pleasing music, all of which are
promised features. -

YOUTHFUL TRAIN wRECKERs.
Boys Make Several Attempts to
Wreck Rock Island and Arc
Finally Caught.

Several times during the past two
or three weeks the section men and
train crews on the Rock Island have
found the track near Trout Run,
usually just around sharp bend.
DISTRACTED with ties, rails, ETC.. and
they have been on the watch for the
train wreckers, and kept the matter
as quiet as possible. The obstruc-
tions were placed there at night and
fortunately were discovered each
time before the early freight in the
morning struck them, otherwise
there would have been a serious
wreck, no doubt.
About week ago, Mr.. Barnham,
special agent of the Rock island,
came here to look after the matter,
and he was followed by detective
who used the many wiles of his trade
In searching out the offenders, and
with the assistance of officer E. A

as to who were the guilty parties,
went to the residence of John Nelson,
where his grandson, named Plank,
was staying, and after a sweating
process secured a confession from
him that he was implicated in the
acts. and then they secured a similar
confession from Olin Thompson who
lived across the road.
The boys did not seem to realize
the serious nature of their Of
lenses; they said they did it
just to see how far the train
would throw the ties. or to see
the train slide down the bank.
They were given a hearing before
Judge Fellows on Friday, who came
over from Lansing for that purpose,
and Olin Thompson was committed
to the reform school at Eldora, the
other boy being set at liberty as he
was thought to have been Influenced
by Thompson.

Iowa Laws and Corporations.

There is but little railway build
ing in Iowa these times. The state
offers a great field for interurban
exploitation but nothing of any
great moment in this line is being
done. A few years ago a company
was organized for the purpose of
| building an interurban system from
Perry to Waterloo, taking in Ames,
EIdora, Grundy Center and Cedar
Falls on the way. The road was
surveyed and people along the pro-
posed route took great interest in
the enterprise. Capitalists stood
ready to put up. the money that was
necessary for it's construction, but
as the plans were being made ma
ture the Peterson law became oper-
ative and the project had to be
abandoned. A railway company
composed of Iowa men was organic
ed to build railway from Charlton
through Knoxville, Pella, Grinnell.
Tama and Traer to Waterloo. This
road tapped the best farming coun-
try on earth and it traversed a sec
tion that is sadly in need of better
railway facilities. Capitalists had
faith in the enterprise and were
ready to aid it. Taxes were voted
in many townships and everything
was in readiness for action. The
line was operated from Marengo to
Oskaloosa. 1t taps a country that
is sorely in need of the transporta-
ton facilities that such line would
have afforded. The preliminaries had
all been arranged but the Peterson
law knocked the plan In the head.
An interurban line was projected
from Tama City to Oskaloosa, tax
es were voted and part of the right
of way was secured. The same law
put quietus to that enterprise. An
interurban was planned from Mar
shalltown to Grundy Center and on
to Cedar Falls and Waterloo. 1t
went the way of the other projects
These are bnt samples of the wrecks
caused by the passage Of the Peter
son law. What is true Of these pub
lie utilities is true in larger de-
gree of numerous manufacturing
enterprises that were smotherei TO
death by this same legal enactment.
No wonder Iowa is losing In popu-
lation when laws have been placed
upon the statute books that not only
retard progress but drive capital
out of the state.-Cedar Falls Rec

The Lack of Rain Fall.

: In commenting on the numerous
complaints coming in on account Of
the lack of rainfall this season, Wal
laces' Farmer says: These dry
years are test years. We remember
very well the dry years preceding
1894, when the newspapers were
claiming that Iowa was going dry,
and attributed 1t to the vast amount
of drainage done. This is all arrant
nonsense. Dry years and wet years
follow each other in cycles. They
always have done 80 everywhere.
These dry years are particularly
hard on the man who has located
where the normal rainfall is no
more than crops require, or even
less. The per centage of normal
rainfall is no less in the western
country than in this, that is, there
has been no greater deficiency of
rainfall. The difficulty is that the
normal rainfall does not give suffi-
cient leeway to insure him good
crops in dry season, even with the
best of cultivation"

Garment FINISHING.

Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant writing
In McClure's declares that garment
finishing is the worst type of tenement
work" She continues:
"Ninety-fve per cent of the so called
home finishing in New York city Is
done by Italians. A days wages for
the united work Of a family do not
usually exceed go or 70 cents in this
trade; they may be much less. but are
never much more. The work varies
from pulling bastngs-this is usually
the task Of the babies-and sewing but
tons, to putting in Innings of coats and
trousers. sewing in sleeves and blind
stitching the bottoms Of trousers. The
garments themselves vary from the
cheapest ready made goods to the
most expensive custom made goods;
for not only wholesale manufacturers,
but to some degree fashionable tail
ors employ tenement labor The in
dustry is chiefly carried on in one of
the most congested and insanitary
parts of New York-the Italian district
of the lower east side where very
large families live and work on the
narrow edge of starvation in very
small. dark. three roomed apartments,
In the midst of tuberculosis and other
diseases. The garments lie on dirty
floors in the midst of the swarming
family life by day, and are used as
bedding at night"
