Rat Falls Into Brad Pan.

Ackly, Ia, Aug. 10.-A rat caus-
ed considerable CONSERVATION at the
home of William Jones, residing
north of this city, last week. Mrs.
Jones was preparing a batch Of
bread in the kitchen and the rodent
was running around between the
rafters of the floor above. AS it
reached point just above the pan
of dough portion of the ceiling
about three inches square gave way
just beneath it precipitating the
animal into the mixture that was
intended to be baked. The rat
squealed and fioundered around in
the quicksand of -four and water,
finally giving up the ghost, while
Mrs. Jones went into Mysteries over
the sudden appearance of the crea-
ture in the pan.

DR.. Vincent proposed to his
friend, the late Lewis Miller, a man
ufacturer of Akron, Ohio, that such
an institute be held in Akron. Mr..
Miller replied: why not take it in
to the woods and why not take it to
Chautauqua?" Chautauqua, on Lake
Chautauqua, was known to them
because camp meetings had been
held there.
The official record Of the first
meeting, held from Aug. 4. to IS,
1874, as set out by the Chautauqua
Institution in it's Survey of Sea-
sons" shows that DR.. Vincent had
been making preparations for the in
itial assembly during almost all of
the preceding year. The meetings
were held for the most part in the
open air, and in the evening were
lighted by pine fires. Tents were
used for the housing of the pioneer
Chautauquans, and in externals the
assemblage was in the nature of a
camp meeting.
Fireworks, balloon ascensions, mu-
sic and displays of panoramic views
relieved the heavier features of nor
NAL classes and lecture hours.
A series of temperance meetings
followed lecture by Mrs. ]. w.
Willing, and the Chautauqua report
states that these meetings led to a
convention, held later in the year in
Cleveland, at which the National Wo-
man Christian Temperance Union
was organized.
The principal speakers at the first
ASSEMBLY, in addition to DR.. Vincent,
were the Rev. r. M. Warren, Profess
sor p. p. Bliss, the Rev. III. Clay

times as much. Des Moines Is the

leads. In general it has been found
that the two methods yield much
the same information-th total
amount of produce hauled over the
road. Next, the length of the aver
age haul is calculated, the SIZE of
the load permitted by the character
of the road ascertained, and the cost
of teams and drivers figured. With
these facts before him, the investi-
gator is now able to state positively
the cost of hauling a ton of pro-
duce on that road, to express in
terms of these "ton-miles" the
freight traffic on the road, and f.
nally the total cost to the commune
ty served by the road of hauling it's
goods to market. Armed with these
data, it is easy to decide how much
money can be probably spent in
improving. the road, and what are
the returns that an investment
yields to the community.
These returns are of various
kinds. First and foremost Is the
reduction in the actual cost of haul
ing, the plain fact that it takes less
time and labor to haul a load over
q good road than over a poor one
Less obvious is the effect of i'm
proved roads in increasing the total
output of a community. In the case
of one county in Virginia where
particularly thorough records have
been kept, this output was more
than doubled. The farmers found
that with a market always and
readily accessible to them, it paid
to work the land to it's maximum
production.
This explains the very remark
able rise in farm land values which
nearly always accompanies road
improvement. The rise is not a fic-
titious one, of no benefit to the man
who wishes to farm and not to sell
The land is more valuable because il
can profitably be made to produce
more. In other words, the money
that goes into the road comes back
with interest from the land.

TOURISTS.

A tourist is an excited linen dus-
ter and a carload of baggage that
are going or coming and that are in
no hurry to arrive. They are an in
vention of the railroad companies
who use them to maintain porter
service for the travelling public.
They are also used in returning the
East's accumulation of money west
word
Tourists are boon to post card
dealers while abroad and a nuisance
to their acquaintance when re-
turned. All of them threaten to
write book on Travel, but consid-
crate publishers generally intercede
before the crime is enacted.
Tourists find higher mountains
and deeper canyons than the best of
geographers have been able to To-
cate. This probably is because their
hotels start them out with better
figures on which to base calcula-
t ons. Tourists take a great deal
Of encouragement into the places
Whcre stop-overs are allowed and
leave the natives satisfied with their
lot. They are transforming all
bankers west of Dodge City into
souvenir vendors and keep eastern
factories working overtime to sup
Ply their demands. An Indian can
buy Navajo blanket in a western
store for eighteen dollors and dou-
BILE his money on it as soon as the
first train from the East arrives. A
piece of adobe crockery, guaranteed
to break before you can get it home,
will bring more money on a west

On their initial trip, tourists trav-
ell with only their pocketbooks and
the baggage limit. After that, they
take a gun and mean disposition.

Iowa assessors found $43, 000,-
600 more moneys and credits this
year than last, and the fact would
indicate that the change in the law
taxing this form of property is hav-
ing its effect" says the Upton Adj
vocate. 1T was argued that the
straight five mill tax on money
would result in larger sums being
returned to the assessor. Under the
old law the person whose property
was in the form of money found
that it took 40 per cent of the in
come to pay the tax. The natural
result was that a lot of people were
compelled to perjure themselves
when giving in their assessment, or
else move to other states which had
more rational laws. Iowa lost lot
of money to California before the
change was made.
