HAVE YOU EVER TRIED 1T?
Four Miles Per Hour Is Fast Gait to
Maintain

There is nothing that the average
person believes more implicitly than
that he can walk four miles in an
hour easily. Almost any one will say:
we were out walking for an hour
and a half today. Let me see-four
miles an hour; that makes six miles
we went" And he is convinced that
Is the ground his party covered.
That same average person has only
to try to walk four miles in sixty
minutes to discover that it is good,
stiff going. There are many more folks
who cover three miles in the time.
when they think they are going at the
rate OF a mile better, than there are
who actually know the pace they are
making
1t is an easy thing to determine.
For instance, one man noted the time
on his watch when he started and
swung along at a gait that he fondly
believed was a mile i'm ten minutes.
That. for instance, would be about
one-half the speed that the average
mile runner would make when he was
fairly new to the game but he would
have to train for a time to do that.
The walker didn't take out his
watch until he had reached the end
OF his first mile. Then he looked. 1t
was fifteen minutes almost to the
second when he ended that mile.
This was little of a shock, es-
pecially as there were only a couple Of
crosswalks in the way and there was
a nice stretch of gravel path along
side the pavements on which to walk
But he started off again for the sec
ond time. This time he walked stead

striding at a clip that convinced him
he was going four minutes better than
the other mile. The memorable watch
showed fourteen minutes for the sec
ond mile.

sAckley. April, 5-The attorneys for the
Illinois Central railroad who are to
conduct the defense in the case of NOV
ing the stock yards, have been in town
lately. The railroads defense in this
matter amounts to this: Said stock
yards We're located before the town
grew to surround them That said
stockyards are worth over $4,000 and
that it will cost over $4,000 to move
them. That in a case of so many
thousand dollars they. are entitled to
trial in federal court. Evidently no
stockyards are not a nuisance, as on
the. approach of warm weatherS With
frequent rain and thunder showers, they
smell unto heaven and thousand
witnesses, in>fact everybody iK town.

$4,000 to abate it.
The stockholders of the hotel prop.

dividual suits by property owners for
damages will probably be commenced
reasonable demand for the removal of
the stockyards from the residence and
business part of the city.
Another matter is the cause Of con-
siderable irritation on the, part of the
public. AT present the mail from the
south on the Iowa Central railroad ar
rives at I'LL p. m. The bus line which
has the contract for carrying the mail,
takes passengers up town at once, but
leaves the mail sacks to be brought up
later by the dray wagon. The result is
that if the train is little late and the
drayman has trunks or express to
handle. the mail does not get to the
that night, so that business men; fail
to get mail they could answer and send
replies to the same night. Mr.. Baryer,
proprietor Of the bus line. says the
reason he hauls the mail on the dray
wagon. is that in front OF the postoff1ce
there is an unsafe place in the road
and he can not take the time to drive
UP to the crossing, and carry the mail
back on the sidewalk. There is some
talk of petition to the postoffice de-
partment at Washington, to see if the,
mail can not be taken to the postoffice
on arrival of the train. So here we
have it in Ackley. the general U. S..
government to be called in to decide
we shall have stockyards
odor all over town, and also whether
the street and alley committee of Ack-.
ley shall make the streets safe in front
of the postoffice for bus line to drive
over.
