MUD HUTS OF IRELAND
FAST BEING REPLACED.
James Bryce Assisted by Beginning
EneIand's Loan to Owners.

The mud edifice is becoming a thing
Of the past in Ireland. 1t was more or
less picturesque in descriptions of the
landscape, but it was and is certainly
insanitary and often unfit for the
abode of human beings.
1t still exists too numerously, but It
has been the aim of the Irish repre-
sentativeS for a generation to abolish
it in favor of habitable cottages.
More than a quarter of century ago
the first laborers' act was passed.
From 1883 to 1906 10000 cottages wers
erected for the laborers. Local author
tiles had power to borrow money from
the government. repayable by install
ments. and build the cottages with the
proceeds. letting them at a charge
which covered the cost
The work was slow because the rate
at which the money was borrowed was
too high to enable the cottages to be
let without loss TO the rates at price
that laborers could pay and because,
as is usual in this red tape ridden
country, vast amount of money had
to be spent on procedure. which means
in the end law costs.
Then James Bryce came along and
before his departure for Washington
made his chief secretaryship memo
rable by an act which has done as
much for the laborers since his day,
and done st better and cheaper, as was
done in the previous quarter Of a GEN.
fury.
Procedure was simpIihed. and the
money was lent upon favorable terms.
Ireland got loan Of f4.500000 (S22.-
100000, at 31& per cent. covering both
interest and sinking fund. with other
financial advantages thrown in, and
cottages could be erected and let to
the laborers ut rents as low as shil-
ling and sixpence and even a shilling
week.
But the money is now oil gone. and
some thousands Of laborers are still in
the mud edlflces comparable to the
kraal and the wtgwam. The Irish par
ty has been pressing the matter in par
lament and has induced Mr.. Birrell to
let them have another 100000.

IDOL" PIEASES.

"a Broken IDOL which appeared at
the Illinois last evening, is fortunate in
the possession of two leading charac-
tiers who put freshness and life into a
play. These are Miss Perle Parti and
Don Macmillan. Miss Parti apparent
ly is young at professional work, but
she takes a lively interest in it ana
the result is pleasing. She is comeTy
and in addition has a most bewitchlng
smile which breaks forth all through
her work and which makes her liked
at once. Macmillan has an infectious
laugh and he makes considerable use
of it. The remainder of the company
Is capable and the setting and dress
ing of the play is above the average.

ONLY 8 DAYS REQUIRED
TO CURE DRUNKENNESS
The Most Severe and Chronic Cases
Are Completely Cured in
That Time.

The Neal Three Day Liquor Cure
is an absolute specific for periodical
and habitual drunkenness. This is
a strong statement, but it is justified
by the experience of hundreds of
patients who have left the Neal In
stitute in Davenport, at S21 Farnam
street, after only three days treat
ment, with all desire and craving
for alcohol destroyed, and in a per-
feet mental and physical state. 1t
makes no difference how long the
patient has been drinking or what
he drinks, the cure is effected in
three days time, and without the
use of painful and dangerous hypo-
dermic injections or injurious drugs.
The Neal Institute is receiving daily
enthusiastic reports from every quar-
ter of the country as to the efficacy
of the treatment.

there are now only three "R. l." men

sured of position this year, has been
compelled to quit owing to trouble

have succeeded John Kittilsen as cap
tain of the team. He would have made
an able leader and his loss will be felt
by the entire squad With him out of
the game, the choice for the captaincy
and the leadership of the team natur-
ally fell upon Edwin Mcintyre, who is
the most experienced of the squad
which Coach Harmon is working out.
Captain Mcintyre will most likely play
full back, where he puts up an ag-
gressive game.

Governor Carroll Of Iowa has pro-
posed that the width Of that states
roads be cut down from sixty to forty
feet and that the strips of land thus
saved be turned over to the farmers
for cultivation.
He believes that forty feet is wide
enough for country road. that such
a road will he better and more easily
cared for than the wider one and that
the twenty extra feet now is simply
wasted.
The title of this land. II the plan is
carried out. naturally vests in the own
ers of land adjoining the roads. as the
states right to IL is simply for high

popular with farmers. II is estimated
