Attorneys for the railroad and

whom were made parties by the wa

the application for an Injunction by
the water works company yshich put
the latter on the defensive as regards
Its franchise here in Keokuk.
Aliege Improper Publication.
One of several arguments was that
the franchise ordinance under which
/ the water works company is operating
| is void because of improper methods
| in its passage by the council Of 1907.
The specifications are that no advance
notice was given by publication OF the
contemplated franchise ordinance,
and that there was no proper publica-
ton afterwards, which the law re-
qures fcrssix times in a newspaper.
| 1t was claimed that the ordinance was
/ published five times without the GER
ti1cate and signature of the mayor,
! and only the last time with this essen
i.al part included.
Other arguments by the lawyers in
cluded that the city has legally order
ed the street there brought to grade,
which is six feet higher than its pres
ent level, which disposes of that
much; and that the city by ordinance
has located the railroad at that place
which gives it the right to place It's
tracks only three and three-fourths
feet above the street grade

sensltlveness Of Blow-FIy.

1t is we'll known, says knowledge,
that the blow-fiy (Calliphora vomit-
oria) has an extraordinarily keen SEN
sitiveness to the odor of flesh, detect
ing it from a distance. Xaxier Raspail
has made some observations on the
rapidity with which the flies find a
bird has just died and ne maintains
that they do not alight second be-
fore that. An apoplectic pigeon that
looked dead, but was not, was left un-
visited. A moribund magpie, lying
beside two others which had just been
killed, was left unvisited, though the
flies were on che dead birds just be-
side it. The instinct not to lay eggs
in anything not quite dead seems to
be strongly developed. But Raspail
goes on to draw the hazardous conclu-
sion that in the article of death an
animal gives off q volatile something
Of infinite suDtlety, which serves as
q clue to the fly.

Young CIergyman's Dismay.

A clergyman in Cherryvale tells
Mrs. Moffett that when he was a
struggling young preacher and a mar
riage fee looked like several square
meals to him, he was called upon TO
officiate at the wedding OF wealthy
young farmer to the daughter of an
other farmer also very wealthy and
widely known in the county. The
night Of the wedding was a stormy
one and the train to the little country
station was two hours late, so the
preacher hired a rig and drove the
entire II miles, getting there just in
time to miss supper. The wedding
was brilliant affair and after the
ceremony the groom called the min
lister aside and told him how much
he appreciated his coming through the
storm and handed him 80 bill-not
enough to pay the team hire AS the
preacher sat stunned, gazing at the
money, the brides father came in and
the groom left How much did he
give you?" asked the father. Only
two dollars" replied the preacher.
why, that is a shame exclaimed
the father. After all your trouble,
too. He's terrible close with money.
Don't say word tO'any one, but take
this" And as the old man slipped
away the preacher, much touched,
opened his hand and found a 81 bill.

ALL GRIST FOR THE BRIDE
Other Women In the House Have
Small Chance Of Receiving Bun
dies That Are Sent Home.

An uptown woman who nearly got
stalled In a Ninth street car with a
bundle of merchandise gave this rea-
son for carrying home her own par
cells, according TO the Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
There is prospective bride in
our clearinghouse she said "Ev-
erything in the dry-goods line Is grist
to the mill of the woman about to be
married. Other women who have the
misfortune to live in the same house
shop under difficulties. The only way
they can insure the enjoyment of
their own purchases is TO carry them
home.
IF the things are delivered the
bride snaps them up. Possibly she
has no real shoplifting propensities,
but circumstances combine to make
her a thief. Servants bring. to her
room all parcels of whatever size and
shape that come to that front door.
So many of the things do belong to
her that to read the label or listen to
what the delivery boy says is consid-
cred superfuous exertion. And the
bride is equally disdainful of a pre-
liminary examination. Egostically she
rips off wrappers and digs into con-
tents.
Yesterday I heard her raising the
roof because a certain shop had sent
her six pairs of black silk stockings,
instead of the pink, blue and tan she
had ordered. After she had sent the
stockings back and had the money re-
funded l discovered the stockings
were mine 7 cannot afford to con-
tribute these parcels to the brides
wardrobe, so l am carrying them
home"

Concernlnn the Mole.

Naturalists aver that among COM
mon animals few have been less
studied in their life history than the
mole. Accordingly a British scientist
his turned his attention to the mole,
with the result that some interesting
data concerning this queer creature
have been collected
Under the ediflce which the mole
constructs above the surface Of the
ground will always be found a series
of tunnels. A curious feature, almost
invariably found, is a perpendicular
run penetrating about a foot below the
bottom of the nest and then turning
upward to meet another run. A mole
is never one authority contends,
found in his nest, although 1t may be
yet warm from his body when opened.
Guided by smell and hearing, mole
frequently locates the nest Of a par
trlde or pheasant above his run and,
penetrating it from below, eats the
eggs. The adult mole is practically
blind, but there are embryonic indica-
tions that the power of sight In the
race has deteriorated.-Harp s
