the New York Central lines, has gone
to Europe on a pleasure trip with his
daughter Before leaving he express
ed his views on the question of rail-
road legislation:
The question of railroad legisla-
tion Of the past is largely a case of
water having run over the dam. The
real effect will be seen when the in
aerstate commerce commission decides
the question of increased freight
rates. Then will be the time for
either advancement or remaining sta
tionary. l have during the last sixty
days, talked with majority of the
large manufacturers End shippers. and
am satisfied that they are in favor
of a reasonable increase. L have no
doubt that it will take effect not
later than November j"
Mr.. Brown denied that there is an
unusually large number of idle freight
cars. He said there are very few not

are will soon be needed

The Worms Turn.

The following is quoted from a
most able scientific work pertaining
to the subject:
The chief economic Importance
of earth worms FISHING worms is
as principal agent In forming the
mantle of humus, or soil which GOV.
ers the dry land in all parts of the
world, md buries the hard rocks
and sterile soil beneath It, Earth
worms abound in all parts OF the
world, they eat their way through
the soil and come out at night to the
surface, where they forage about for
leaves, and stray bits of vegetable
matter which they drag into their
burrows to be nibbled and swallow
ed at leisure. Their castings, COM
posed of earth and comminuted yege-
table matter which they have swal-
lowed and digested. are deposited on
the surface, and in the course of
their lives they bring up. a good deal
OF the sterile undersoil, mix 1t with
particles OF vegetation from the sur
face, and deposit it in their castings.
These accommodating year after year,
century after century, from the rich
layer of humus, or topsoil, in which
vegetation chiefly thrives and on
which the gardner and farmer de-
Ponds for the successful growth OF
his crops.
Not all of the humus is due to
earthworms, of course, for insect
larvae play some part in its making.
Also the natural decay of vegetation,
and its mixing with rain and dust
brought by the winds, assist in soil
building. But Investigations made by
Darwin showed that the earthworm
plays an important part in the forma-
ton of humus.

ordinance recently passed by the board
of aldermen. BY the terms OF the
ordinance all provisions must be

appears, to sell eggs by weight and
in consequence the middlemen save
the large eggs for the western mar

Americans in Canadian West.

Springfield Republican: The recent
report that settlers were returning
from the Canadian west to the United
States may have been true, but the
tide northward shows no signs of
slackening. In the last four months
the United States has sent 46.500
emigrants into the Dominion, or one
half of all the immigrants Canada has
received in that period; and, further.
more. the official estimate is that the
Americans carried north with them
no less than $50,oOo,000 in cash.

The post card industry is being TAX
en- away from the Germans. Ameri-
can ingenuity and skill is given credit
for the change, according to Chicago
dealers and manufacturers of post
cards, quoted in the Tribune. Sta
tistics compiled in Berlin show that
exports of post cards to this country
have fallen from 500.0O0,000 yearly
three years ago to 100000. 900 last
year. The Germans ascribe it to the
Passing of the craze among Ameri-
cans. They claim the fad is being
dropped by tourists. Chicago dealers,
however, say Americans are using
more post cards than ever Postof-
fee experts say the same.

noted evangelist visited the town,
and the elder brother was converted.
For weeks after his conversion he en-
deavored to persuade his brother to
join the church. One day he said to
him: "why can't you, Richard, join
the church as | did,,

A Queer Deal.

Iowa City Republican,: w. c. Bar
Der OF the Anti-saloon league, caused
charges to be preferred against the
chief Of police OF Des Moines, and a
hearing has just been concluded
which resulted in a complete vindica-
tion of the chief. The evidence as
reported In the newspapers showed
that the prosecution was based upon
the statements, for the most part Of
a lot of vagabonds used ms detectives
by Barber 1t was also shown that a
conference was held to consider the
bringing of the charges In the Office
of the editor OF the Daily News, which
was attended by Macvicar, a member
of the council, and by the city editor
of the News, and George Cosson, the
insurgent candidate for attorney gen.
eral, and some Others.
The evidence showed that the de-
tectives would rent rooms at places
and then when they had called the
landlady in they would grab her just
as other detectives were entering. and
in this way would claim that the wom-
an was keeping disorderly house.
