ence Gamble, OF Boone. who 1eeced
scores of men over the country out oi
various sums Of money BY means of 4
spondence matrimonial game and
who pleaded guilty in federal court
here year ago. is again in trouble.

arrested al kremlin. Wis. for the theft
about four months ago. and since that
time she has been in jail awaiting trial.
During her incarceration she ma 'e four
unsuccessful attempts TO commit sui
eide. it is stated.
Details of her offense against the
peace and dignity OF the United States

nation that she pleaded guilty. 1t has
been suggested that she stole the post
age stamps TO enable her to continue
her matrimonial ga ne. h,:t at the time
of her sentence here she was emphatic
in her never again" declarations.
The cause OF Yrs. Candles undo
ing here was a series of letters which
she wrote TO an aged bachelor of
Davis county. Iowa The bachelor read

willingness 10 marry and. feeling the
need OF companion for his declining
years, offered his heart Immediately Oh

Aoines. o national worker OF the
Methodist denomination, and Mrs. =.
A. Steiner, OF Grinnell, are to be the
leading speakers in the meeting to be
held in the Congregational church OF
this city on Thursday, March 5. the in
terdenominational day of prayer for
home missions. Miss Margaret Chris
tian. of this city. will sing on that oc-
casion. A basket dinner will be served

gram will follow. The meeting is gen.

n. NJ. Eaton, clerk in the postoffice
at New Sharon, and his brother, who
has been foreman of the New sharon
Star office, have concluded to start a
new paper in that town, to sail under
democratic colors.
Grinnell has had very successful
fortnight under the new plan Of giving
each able bodied man who claims
lodging AMI food from the city or its
private citizens the chance to pay for
the same by a reasonable amount oil
work for the city Each one who ap-
plies for loGcing at the city hall is Civ
en- his choice OF having the old bastile
as a sleeping place and getting out OF
the city to find his breakfast, without
the privilege Of begging it from citl-
Zens here or being taken to room
ing house where he can have COM
Portable bed and good breakfast ana
then working out on the streets the
cost OF the same. 1t is pleasing TO
record that the large majority OF the
hard ups have preferred independence
at the expense of few hours OF Ia
l3cr. GrinneN officials are fondly hop
ing that they have found the correct
solution. for this city at least. of the
vexing problem Of housing the un-
fortunate wanderers.

ton Of different accounting systems,
but we prefer not to bring these into
account as we anticipate that they will
no more than balance additional cost
of the proposed reorganization" AS to
the theory OF the reorganization the re-
port says:
The most effective way in which to
approach business problem is thru
the experience of business men, and in
considering the proposed basic plan of
reorganization outlined herein, which
by the way will entail no amendment
to the constit ltion. We would suggest
an analogy between the same and a
corporate organization-the electors
representing the stockholders and the
members of the general assembly proxy
holders for the biennial general meet
ing. The governor would then be in the
position of the president. and the mem
bers of the new executive council his
departmental managers. while the
finance department and the legal de-
partment would respectively represent
the treasurer and secretary, q board of
directors in the corporate sense being
dispensed with. The salary of the
governor (president) is already pro-
vided for. altho under this new plan
an increase therein would probably be
advisable, as. in order to secure high
grade men for the director general po-
sitlons, 1t would be necessary to offer
appropriate salary inducements. How
ever, as has already been mentioned,
the savings to be effected by the re-
organization itself will be ample for
this purpose and also to cover the cost
OF carrying out the same"
Clerk System Criticized.
One Of the first of the big criticisms
of the report is directed toward the
lature. The recommenda ton is for
forty-fve clerks to be under direct
change Of the chief committee clerk
who will enforce working hours and
assign clerks to committees and also
TO members as and when required.
Eighteen should be for the senate and
twenty five for the house. There were
fifty in the senate and forty three in
the house of the Thirty Hfth General
Assembly. The fact that a number
cf the committee clerks were practical
ly idle for large part of their time
during the sessions of the Thirty fifth
General Assembly" says the report,
serves TO substantiate the need for
this curtailment, particularly as
number Of these clerks had to resort
TO bridge parties during the afternoon
in order to while away their time AS
TO the dcorheepers. etc, the report,
says:
Further economies can be effected
by reducing the number Of doorkeepers.
extra ianitors and elevator tenders
employed during each session of the
for the senate cha clber and
house OF representatives. The mum
Der of doorkeepers employed during the
session of the Thirtytifth General AS
senbly amounted to twenty three, at
a cost Of SO per day each. whereas the
number Of doors requiring attention
amounted 10 only six. ana. the daily
