THE LOW WATER.

The stage of water IN the Massas'
sippi at Dubuque al present IS 50 low
that the transport boat Frisco Gan MOI
be launched and the Diamond 10 boats
have gone to the bank. Even The
steamer Eclipse has retired from ser
vice between Dubuque and Prairie dn
Chen and no resumption OF navigation
is expected until copious rains further
north replenish the stream The Dss-
huque Times-Journal In speaking q!
the situation says:
In view of this situation IL seems
doubtful that what the riyermen want,
a channel with minimum depth OF
six feet throughout the season OF nayi-
cation, can be established merely BY
the process now followed of construct
ing wing dams and dredging. It does
seem to the layman that it will be
necessary to dam the headwaters OF
the Mississippi and the outlets OF
tributary streams, thus creating reser.
volrs from which the channel NAV be
supplied in seasons of drouth such as
the present.

Riches Take WINGS.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Write no
mans epitaph until after he has been
safely buried, G. P. Slavery, at one time
"a wealthy citizen Of Des Moines. and
the builder and owner of the Kirkwood
and the Slavery hotels, applied for a
lodging at the police headquarters in
the capital city few nights ago.
Riches take wings unto themselves.
Slavery was born in 1888, and that he
should be wanderer upon the face
of the earth, homeless, with no place
to lay his head at his age, that indeed
seems to make calamity of SO long
life" And he that in his time did
so much for the ambitious. growing
town, ought to find the town grateful
and willing to supply his simple wants
for the few years that may stiIl be
granted him.

PROPOSED ELEcrloN REEoRMs,

The Iowa primary election law oper-
ates so badly that there is general de-
mand for its modification in essential
particulars or It's repeal. Among the
papers favoring amendment Of the
law is the Des Moines Capital. which
regards the law as unfair for the
reason that Democrats can vote at
Republican primaries. This they have
been doing, especially in the city of
Des Moines. The Capital says that
if there had been registration law
combining every man to his own party
Governor Carroll would have had
fifteen hundred majority in Polk
country. Those Republicans who want
every man to have fair show in the
Republican party realize that such a
matter is impossible under the pres
ent law. The Capital holds, rightly,
that the present primary law will. if
continued. destroy the Republican par
ty. 1t suggests that the law be amend
ed and shall require a registration of
the voters of the several parties
thirty days before the primary cleo
ton, and that man be required tc
vote in accordance with his registra
ton or that he be denied the privil
ege of voting. This plan would en-
able the members of each party Il
make their own nominations. The
following additional suggestions are
offered:
I'VE suggest that the governor
lieutenant governor, and United
/ States senator be nominated at thu
statewide primary. These are polit
ical offices. The people will be ia
miliar with those who are candidates
I'VE suggest that all other state OF
f1cers be nominated at state con
vention and that the delegates to tina
state convention be elected Oy coun
ties at the primary and that ever
man who desires to be delegat
must announce himself and that nom
nations for delegates close ten day
before the primary. This manner Q
selecting delegates would be fair nc
ttce to everybody. and candidates 70
state offices could govern themselye
accordingly.
I'VE suggest that the district judge
be nominated at the general primar
election.
I'VE suggest that no voting precinc
should contain more than three hur
dred voters.

SEES END OF STEAMBOATS,.
Prominent River Captain Says Deep
Channel Will Not Revive Trade
Pictures Stream as Pleasure
Boat Course.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The use
fulness of the Mississippi river from
the viewpoint of the steamboat is at
an end, according to Capt. Williams
Leyhe, president of the Eagle Packet
company. Captain Leyhe, after hear
ing Of the wreck of the steamer Cape
Girardeau, owned by the company of
which he is president, declared that
the few remaining steamboats, were
fast disappearing, and that the steam
boat trade was absolutely doomed. He
believes there will not be another
steamboat left on the Mississippi river
within another twenty-five years.
''The last big river steamer, the AL
ton, declared Captain Leyhe yesterday,
was built about three years ago, and
as know of no big boats being built
at present, 1t would be safe to assert
the Alton will be the last of the steam.
boat race.
Captain Leyhe said the railroads
were driving the boats off the river
owing to the quickness of freight and
passenger delivery " them.
He said the railroads could deliver
freight much more expeditiously than
the steamboats, and at. satisfactory
rates. Captain Leyhe thinks the river
Will never be useful any more from a
commercial viewpoint. He said he did
not believe the river trade of Aold
times would be revived, even If four
teen-foot channel were built. He
thinks the river wiz be used only FOL
small pleasure boats and as a bis
drainage canal.

The business men are up and accom-

outlook is good-all manufacturing

prospects for increased business,
There is a get-together-and-d do
