One shell, exploding in u glanciny way

the little monitor steamed shead,
turned into the Save, showed her tail
to the great Servian forts and ran up

The monitor raised havoc with the
Servians for two hours the next after

TANT GENERAL.

Iowa City, Nov. Is. - Iowa can FUR
nish an army of 353,724 able bodied
men between the ages of 81 and 40, &C
cording to an estimate made by state
officials based on partial reports re-
ceived by Adj. Gen. Guy Logan from
county auditors.
The reports indicate there has been
an increase of 10 per cent in the past
year in the number of men of military
age in the state In 1914 the auditors
reported 321,56S men between Il ana
As years of age. A 10 per cent increase
means 32,156 additional men who could
be called out for military service.
Polk county could supply $4,000 men
of military age, the report to the state
shows. This would make an army OF
about seven regiments. In 1914 POLK
county had but 1926 men subject 10
military duty.
The county auditors are required 10
report annually to the adjutant gen.
eral, giving the name and address OF
every man between the age OF Il ana
As. Thirty-one counties have reported
Sixty-eight reports are delinquent:
The reports received show 17,3ss
men of military age in thirty-one coun,
ties. Last year the same counties hao
1O6,13S men of that class. This IS !o
per cent increase The same ratio
carried out for the entire state Wouia
give Iowa 353,724 men liable to mill

when the 80 cent gas ordinance went

CORN MEDICINE
MAN IS ARRESTED
"AGENT" WHO WORKED GAME IN
NORTHERN IOWA NOW
IN PRISON.

Baskerville, Nov Is. - Doolittle,
alias Myers. alias Alexander, alias half
a dozen other names, any one or all
of which were made use OF as circum-
stances might warrant has been cap
tured again and now languishes behind
the bars of the Nebraska state peni-
Tertiary at Grand Island. Myers is the
fellow who wildcatted through north
ern Iowa last summer collecting $12
dollars each from such merchants as
gullible enough to bite on his graft. !--e
was apprehended after visiting Esther
vile and fined 5000 and after this he
apparently decided that this territory
was too warm for him. A plain clothes
man from Sioux City was here last
evening getting information against
Doolittle to be used in the trial and
it is expected that he will be sent up
for a term of years. Myers has been
operating for fourteen years and has
been arrested dozens of times but In
each instance has got off with q fine.
His game is to enter a town, induce
a merchant to pay him twelve dollars
for a supply of corn medicine. Myers
agrees to stay in the town, making
house to house canvass of the goods
and thoroughly introduce them 70 the
public. To date, however, there Is not
a case on record where he has ever
carried out his agreement and he has
also habit, which has become chron-
ic with him, of jumping his hotel bills.

CHANGE IMPROVEMENT LAW
Cost Of Paving Intersections May be
Charged to Benefited Property

| Street intersections and the spaces
in streets opposite alleys may be
paved and otherwise improved at the
expense of the property owners with
in an improvement district, instead OF
at the expense of the city as is usual
on petition of seventy per cent OF
such resident owners, if proposed
amendments to H. B. III carry and
the bill becomes a law.
By the terms of the proposed amend
ment, the cost of improvements in a
district will be assessed against all
of the property in the district in pro-
portion to the benefit derived from
them, if advantage is taken of the
new plan.
Considerable interest in the adop-
ton of such an amendment has been
show in Moscow, and the Latah Coun-
ty delegation has been active in pro-
noting it. 1t will make it possible
to extend the paving, without the
bother and expense of holding bond
elections, in small districts where the
property holders are willing to bear
the expense Of paving intersections.
