Our summer lasted for three
months, and during that time, by day
as well as by night, we had the fight
OF our lives against swarms of mos
Quitoes which for tenacity of purpose
and endeavor cannot be equaled IT
this world, and l have seen a good
deal OF it in my Is years as a soldier,
said A, O. Gardner, sergeant of Com
pany C, Twenty-second infantry. Sergt
Gardner was returning home to Mil
waukee, Wis, after two years spent
at Fort Gibson, Alaska, some 900 miles
northeast OF Nome, on the Yukon.
The government maintains six
posts in Alaska" continued Sergt.
Gardner, We had two companies at
u post and did very little actual
military duty. Our principal work
was in keeping up the telegraph lines
which are owned by the government.
The signal corps has large representa-
ton in Alaska. and the soldiers fire.

partment assistance.
Il have fought mosquitoes in the
woods in Wisconsin,, in the flats OF

poisonous as in the nursery. The
worst thing you can give a young
baby, under a year old. is bread, says
a writer But later on bread ne
comes useful 1t should never be

Morning in England.

Sumptuary mourning laws were for
merly found necessary in England to
restrict the extravaganza of the 10
bility and their imitators in the mat
ter of funeral costume, says the Lon
don Chronicle. At the end of the IF
teen+h century it was laid down that
dukes, ~marquises and archbishops
shonld be allowed sixteen yards of
cloth. for tneir gowns. slopes
(mourning cassocks) and barons
eight, knights six. and all persons of
inferior degree only two. Hoods were
forbidden to all except those above the
rank of esquire of the kings house
hold. In the following century Mar
garet. Countess of Richmond, mother
of Henry VII. issued an ordinance for
the reformation of apparel for great
estates of women in the time of
mourning" So it seems that men and
women have met in the extravaganza
of sorrow.

ers. A social Improvement commission

pla was outlined by the special sub

and probably is the final settlement of
the mooted house rent question.
Pay day riots. murders and robberies,
racial strife and other lawlessness COM
mon in some mining camps is expected
to disappear along with the miserable
shacks in which the miners live when
the commission has gotten fairly under
headway. The camps will be formed
into regularly organized towns with
mayors, legislators and police. Schools
will keep children from idle mischief.
Churches will be built as substitutes

While the subcommittee will not re-
tee until tomorrow afternoon there Is
little doubt that the adjustment will
be adopted either by the committee or
the joint conference, so the question is
regarded as settled.

Dubuque, May 9.-Rev. G. NJ. Orvis
D.. D., and wife and j. c. Garland re-
turned from Cresco, where they at
tended the annua convention of the
Congregational Church Society OF
Northeastern Iowa. Hon. George "
Cosson, who was assistant to Attorney
General Byers for three years and is
the author of the famous Cosson law,
was in attendance and delivered a lee
ture one evening during the conven-
ton. Mr.. Cosson is a candidate for at
torney general this year. His lecture
was on law enforcement and it is high
ly commended by the Dubuque dele
gates.
The convention complimented him
with the following resolutions:
Whereas, by the passage Of the
Cosson laws and other law enforce
ment measures, our state has been
placed in the front rank of the states
of the union in the matter of law en-
forcement and especially since, by the
passage of these laws, the liquor laws
of the state have been for the first
time adequately enforced, and for the
first time in the history of any of the
states open prostitution has been
stamped out.
Resolved. That we heartily approve
the passage of these measures and
that we owe IL thanks and support to
those legislators who supported them
and made them possible. and
Whereas, for the continuance of
present conditions we are largely de-
pendent upon the continuance in the
attorney generals office of an official
in sympathy with these laws.
Resolved, That We urge upon the
people of our order and upon the
people of the state and upon
all who love decency in government
the careful scrutiny Of the candidates
for his office. and that we urge they
give their support to such a man whose
known record will be a guarantee of
present conditions"

Special to Tirnes-Republican.
Carroll, May 9.-Carroll is going to
make an experiment on one of its prin-
cipal streets by preparing the surface
and oiling the same with a special
preparation, 80 per cent of which is
asphaultum and the other 10 per cent.
The Standard Oil Company of this city
has donated twenty barrels, 1000 gall
Ions. to make the experiment with. AT
the last council meeting the matter was
discussed, and the donation was ac-
cepted. The matter now rests with the
street committee, with power to act. 1t
will be necessary to plow the street,
disc and King drag it before applying
the solution.
Ii is claimed that after once applied
the surface in time becomes as hard as
flint, n a coat of the solution is only
needed once about every six months
thereafter. The committee has in min
Main street, west of the court house
square, on which the experiment will
be made. 1t will take about $500 gal
Iona every 300 feet. The business men
will gladly furnish the other 1900 gall
Ions TO complete the experiment. Ii is
stated that Denison. Jefferson and z
number Of other towns intend to follow
