Gold Dust does the work

The supreme court concluded the
hearing Of oral arguments in cases for
the third period Of the term today,
and it only remain to file a few de-
cisions that have not yet been acted
upon. The next period Of the court
will commence Dec. IL which will close
the business for the year. Among the
cases noted for oral argument at that
time are the cases Of the state ex rel
Egermayer against sundry and various
saloon men of Marshalltown, pending
on a motion to set aside an order or
the court, and with the submission Of
these cases about all Of the fine ques-
tons affecting liquor laws of the state
will have been cleaned up by the
courts.
It's a good guess the railroad COM
mission will not disturb its order Of
last July in regard to the fixing OF
minimum weights on carloads OF live
stock in Iowa. When the case was re-
opened here it became evident the rail-
road companies realize now, which
they didn't realize last July, that the
questions involved are momentous
They brought a dozen OF their best
lawyers and an equal number Of rate
experts and started in to show that
the minimum weight for carload lots
ought to be higher for all livestock.
The evidence introduced consists of
statistics in regard to the manner of
handling livestock. business and the
average weight of carload lots and
length of haul and similar matters.
The major part of this evidence was
before the commission when It made
the order Of last July fixing the
weights
The commission then figured It out
that Iowa stock. dealers are paying for
a vast amount Of business in hauling
stock for which they get no return. and
they desired to reduce this to the
lowest amount possible. They figured
out a good many thousand dollars saw
ing to Iowa farmers and stock men.

day, Mr.. Davis attorney for the North

MARRIAGE AND LONGEVITY.
charleston News and Courier.)

Longevity Is not in itself a thing
greatly to be desired unless strength
Is retained and genital alertness. 1t
Is not a good thing to live for 100 years
II the last 30 Of them are spent In
weakness, with nc activity marking
them. Yet men who have been mar.
ried have lived to a ripe old age,
their minds still active and capable.
John Bigelow todays gets much more
enjoyment out OF life than many who
are blessed with less than 80 years.
Bachelors have been known to reach
the age OF discretion, which We are
told Is the SEVENTEEN year, but with
them old age has been a grabbed thing.
1t Is the married man who really lives
the longest Of his race. 4
We do not know Just why this Is.
There have been old tobacco users,
and old men who have never used to-
bacco:: old whiskeyG drinkers and old
men who never drank at all. 1t Is
only when marriage Is made the test
that old age5is explained. It may be
that the bliss Of marriage In early
years prepared men for al yiclssitudcs,
and 1t may be that the loving care OF
a woman Is responsible for the whole
thing. We. do not know. We only
wish to emphasize the point that when
It comes to old age, the bachelors are
strangely wanting. It takes a married
man "a live a long time.
