THE FIVE MILE BILL PASSES IN
SENATE AFTER A HOT DEBATE
Opponents of the measure have ar

Opponents of the measure have an
opportunity to prevail upon the
Thirty-sixth general assembly to re-
verse the work of the Thirty-fifth
general assembly before its law will
become effective. A democratic as
sembly might do this, friends of the
measure believe. Their fear Is bas-
ed on the vote of the democrats yes
terday.
Two compromises between the
"wets" and "drys" were necessary
in order to obtain the passage of
the Huntley bill by the senate. They
were:
The breweries now operating at
Iowa City are not to be molested so
long as the consent of the citizens
of Johnson county is obtained.
The law is not to become effective

Luneville, France, April 5.-The
German air cruiser Zeppelin w, was
inflated and departed for Germany
at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The landing of the airship on the
parade grounds here in the midst of
brigade of French rifemen Thurs
day was satisfactorily explained to
French board of inquiry yesterday.
The airship and her crew were at
terward released on payment of
$4,000 as customs duty, and the in
cident was declared clear.
The crew of the dirigible has been
kept. virtually prisoners throughout
the night.
The investigation conducted by
the French military authorities con-
Guided with the following findings:
The balloon belonged to the Yep
pelin company; the German officers
on board were designated to test the
workings of the dirigible, which is
subject to acceptance by the German
government; the airship landed at
Luneville because those in charge
had lost their way, and the officers
on board perceived they were near
a French garrison town.
Captain Glund, the ranking Ger
man officer, gave his word Of honor
that neither he nor his companions
had taken any observations Of mill
tary value. Thereupon, the officers
were dismissed and the police com
missary of Avricourt accompanied
them to the German frontier.

GERMAN D|R|C|BLE
LANDS IN FRANCE.
Airship. Lost in Clouds, Wanders
Across Boundary and
Descends.
HELD BY FRENCH TROOPS
Startled Inhabitants, Indignant,
Held Back by
Soldiers.

Luneville, France, April 4.-The
German military dirigible airship,
Zeppelin w, made landing in the
military parade grounds here yester-
day and was seized by the French
authorities.
The incident has caused tremen-
dous excitement, Notwithstanding
the fact that the German officers
aboard the airship explained that
they had been lost in the clouds and
did not know they had crossed the
French frontier.
The inhabitants Of the western
frontier regions of France have been
much agitated the last few weeks ov-
err reports that German dirigibles
had been observed or heard nightly
lowering over the forts. But the
stories, like those Of the phantom
airship of England, never were prop
erly substantiated.
The people of Luneville therefore
were considerably startled shortly
before noon yesterday when
brownish yellow airship appeared at
great height in the clouds, coming
from the direction of Nancy. The
airship was lost to view, but reap
peared an hour later. 1t was appar-
ent that the pilot was having a bat
tie with the wind and that he was
making an effort to reach the earth.
Finally a safe landing was made in
the parade grounds where two
squadrons Of cavalry were drilling.
The cavalrymen formed a Gordon.
They caught the ropes thrown from
the dirigible and moored it securely.
The local authorities and Briga-
der General Antide Leon Lescot
were summoned Immediately and a
huge crowd of excited people gath
cred. 1t required the efforts Of two
companies of infantry to keep the
indignant populace at a safe dis
lance.

KEEPING ROADS IN CONDITION
Use of OIL, Following the Vogue Of the
Automobile, Has Been Found to
Be Most Effective.

The use of oil upon the roads is one
that have followed the introduction OF
the automobile. The wheel of the car
not only raises the loose dust Of the
road. but, as the f1attened part of the
tire becomes once more rounded on
leaving the ground. actually tears and
disintegrates the surface itself.
AS the foundation Of the best road
oil, asphaltum-which Ia present In
large amounts In the California and
Texas oils-is unrivaled. In fact, an
authority on the subject declares In
the New York Sun that . road oil b
effective precisely in proportion to tha
amount of asphaltum 1t carries.
There arc three methods Of using
the oil. In the most thorough process
the road Hurface II first broken by the
pillow. 1t 10 then ~sp9inkied with the
heaviest oil-hatf q gallon to . gallon
OF oil to the square yard-and then

Gus notifications. has besa mech used
In California.
Another method thak b coming inta
very general use in the sast u to pro
pare the roadbed by FesurfAcfng the
crown Of the road and brushing Oh thu
dust. Over this the road oil b sprfn'
kled from q cart, about halt . galloa

surface for q couple OF days. ThA
preparation will hst . whole season:
but II the oiltng II done oftener, It win

The third method. less permanently
effective. 10 sprinkling the road with
emulsiled oil. q mixture OF oil, water
and saponifying chemicals-whtch
lays the dust and binds the road surf
ace. but which calls for reapplicatton
every few weeks. II the emulsthed
oil has a true asphaltum base. this
method will ultimately result in q dur.
able asphaltum roadbed.
1t may be added that many OF the
California crude oils were &c weighted
with asphaltum that for q long time
they were used as fuel only. The
chemists, however, have found a way
to extract the naphtha and kerosene,
and leave the asphaltum almost pure
for this new use.

1t is laughable to see a community

Between TOWN AND COUNTRY
Thar 10 Vast Amount o. Difference
About What 10 c~onsidsrsd
"Bite 70 Eat"

Homer Davies motor ~ broke
down while he was several miles out
from Concordia, and the good house
wife near whose place the car was
stalled insisted upon getting him and
the other occupants Of the ear "a cup
Of tea and q bite to eat" Mr.. Davies
writes:
I'VE protested against 80 much trou-
BILE on our behalf, and she protested
there wasn't going to be much to 1t,
as she said she had nothing much in
the house, and we believe she really
meant 1t. That's the thing that
amuses us-'nothing to eat you know,
and inside OF twenty minutes the
whole party Of five we're seated at a
well-furnished table, with nothing to
eat in the way of hot homemade
sausage, hot potato patties, fine light
bread, tea and cream. canned peaches,
apple butter, and the Lord knows how
much more such truck, enough to call
it a banquet for town folks.
'Now we have asked Mr.. and Mrs.
Willars to visit us when they come to
town, and we are going to show them
what town folks call a Tight luncheon
There'll be bread sandwiches, cut
cater-cornered, with just about enough
ham between to make bait for a fish
hook. There'll be another course on
small plates with pictures of flowers
around the border, with a little yellow
dab of something on a lettuce leaf On
them. Then we'll have a spoonful OF
some sore Of frozen stuff, served in
hand-painted dishes, standing on queer
little legs, and then will follow a few
spoonfuls Of coffee. as an excus to
parade our souvenir spoons-the
light luncheon will be over, and u
friends will still be hungry.
There's an awful lot Of difference
between a bite to eat In the country
and q light luncheon in town."-Kan.

BILLS OLD X-RAY MULE
BY c. G. GRANT.

I'm just in from Plumville," said

the night In the village pound, a pas
ture largely infested with weeds and
hemmed round with q hedge of tall
burdocks.
"The next morning Big Bill started
out exploring and soon found Jerry
rolling round contentedly in the weeds.
They tickled his ribs, which had at
tanned undue prominence while ram
bling the streets of Plumville in search
of juicy grass.
when Big Bill saw Jerry so con-
tented he said to himself: Guess I'll
leave the old fellow there for the rest
of the week. I'll be out to Hen Cal

THAT afternoon Aunt Betty Brown
happened to pass the lot where old
Jerry was nibbling. The sight of the
forlorn creature with his sharp hori-
zon outlines touched her heart and she
waddled home for something to hide
the mules X-rays. Soon his bone pile
was concealed beneath a couple of
gunny sacks.
Every night the city marshal tai
lied up another days board against
old Jerry. AT Is cents a day, that will
make pretty nigh five dollars ag1n tn
end of tn month"; he said.
by the middle of the next month
the marshal announced that he would
auction off old Jerry to pay for his
feed. There was a bill against him
for $7.25 and it was growing larger
every day. The auction was set for
two o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Colonel Wilson was a%uctioneer.
"'Crewd up around here, gentle
men!' he shouted. Now, how much
am / offered to start this mule? He's
guaranteed not to scare at automo-
biles or thrashin' machines. He's a
family animal through and through.
Now. what do l hear to start him?"
There came a deep silence, while
several Of the farmers tried to lift the
,gunny sack that concealed JerTys
striking points.
"'Gentlemen.' said the colonel. we
sell Jerry just a. he stands. fly nets
and all. How much am I bid to start
hfm?'
"'Tventy-nve cents said old Jack

that the Catholics as class In Pa
