Des Moines. Dec. 1S.--Iowa railroads
have enjoyed a larger revenue under
the cent passenger rate than under
the old rate of cents per mile. For
the year ending July 30. 1914. which IS
the period covered in the last published
report of the Iowa state railroad COM
mission, it is shown that the passen-
ger revenue of the steam roads operat-
ing in Iowa was s2a.l2S,sSl.52. The ?
cent fare law went into effect in 1907,
For the year ending June so. 1907, the
total earnings of the railroads in Iowa
in their passenger departments
amounted to s21.473,96o
The years back of that show still
smaller revenue from the passenger
department. In 1906 the total passen-
ger revenue amounted TO sfa,47s,foi
and in 1905 ii amounted to $IS.162J4l Al.
Free List" Suspended.
AS matter Of fact the railroads fell
considerably short of realizing 3 cents
pei. mile on all passengers carried III
the DAYS before the cent fare went
into effect because those were the days
of considerable free transportation anu
passes. When all Of the free rices
were figured in to the railroads bust
ness before the 2 cent fare law went
into effect the fares which were re-
ceived on an average did not go much
beyond the cents per mile ~ate. but
with the adjustment of the free PASSES
the railroads have been able to enforce
their cent rate straight thru except
for their own employees and they ta'e
therefore averaged almost as n'ucn
under the new conditions as they uia
under the old In fact the puSlishea
reports of their earnings show tha' IN
1914 the average per mile per passeh

tenths of a cent less than the full Z
cent rate. This four-ienths Is for the

From the Standard

Mrs. Gerhard Torborg died at the
local hospital last Friday evening at
8 o'clock, following an operation for
misinteric thrombosis which was per-
formed Wednesday,. Her departure
is sad blow to many a neighbor and
friend as we'll as to her own family,
for she was liked and esteemed by all
for her many good qualities and her
kindness and ready sympathy. On
October %, last, she was 40 years of
age. Besides the sorrowing husband,
the immediate family consists of five
sons and two daughters. The sons
are John Minneapolis, Herman, Henry
Joseph and Andrew and the daugh-
tiers are Elizabeth and Mary. Be-
sides these one sister, Mrs. Chas Krey
survives. The funeral occurred Mon
day forenoon at 10 o'clock, at St. Pc
ter and Paul's church, where Father
Bede O. S. B., intoned requiem mass,
The funeral was in charge of St. An
ma Ladies' Society of which the de-
ceased was member. 1t was a very
largely attended funeral. Interment
was made in the local cemetery.

Conductor Harry Kirk of Melrose,
spent last week at the old home in
Osakis and of course had to try his
luck fishing. To his own surprise and
the wonder of everyone else Harry
had the good fortune to make a clean
catch. of a On pound pike out of
Osakis lake, and he was exhibiting
the big fish around town Thursday.
The big pike was a dandy, and the
only regret that home sports have is
that the big fellow was taken out of
town to furnish the principal eats at
a stag party at the Hotel Melrose.
Cards are out announcing the ap-
preaching marriage of Miss Mary

LONG PRAIRIE
From the Leader.

The date for the argument OF the
Gutches-Scow election contest case
has been set by the supreme court for
Friday, Fen. 10. MIR. Scow will be
represented by A. B. Church and W..
F. Donahue. Mr.. Clutches will be
represented by G. F. eastman. The
fact that the Supreme Court has
granted so early and prompt hearing,
indicates an early decision. In all
probability the matter will be decld-
ed before the first of March. The
case is to be argued on the matter OF
the right of the District Court to re-
count the ballots. Mr.. Clutches con-
tends that the court had no such right
ana In case he wins, the probable pro-
cedure will be to hold special cleo
ton. In case of special election, 1t
would probably be held early IN April.
However, should Mr.. Clutches lose,
there will be no change. Mr.. ScoW
would simply hold the office as ne IS
now doing. There is some hkllhood OF
two special elections in Todd county
this Spring. In case the Supreme
Court decides for Mr.. Clutches, there
will be special clerk of court cleo
ton, and in case the House passes the
county option bill and it is signed by
the Governor, there will be a county
license election held about the same
time. Both elections, however, could
not be held on the same day, the
county option law specifically requlr-
ing that the issues be passed on at a
special election, at which no other Is
sues to be considered.

A WORD TO THE WISE.
How to Make Two Dresses Look Like
Four,

TOW TO WAKE "O CTCSScS IooN GiNo
Four.
Last summer a clever girl with very
few pennies made two dresses look
like four. which is. you will admit,
quite an accomplishment. There is no
reason why her example cannot be fol.
lowed this year.
She bought materials for two ratine
dresses. one of blue and one white.
She made them exactly alike. with
belted Russian coats with rather short
tunics. The blue coat had white col
lar and cuffs. and the white coat had
a blue collar and cuffs. The blue skirt
was little more elaborate than the
white. as it was meant for church
wear
When she wanted variety she
changed coats. wearing the blue coat
with the white skirt and vice versa.
With the addition of a black straw
shade hat decorated with a wreath of
field flowers and stiff white walking
hat with a black quilt, she was either
very dressy or quite tailor made The
coats required no blouse beneath and
so were not too warm for even very
hot days. but either skirt could be
worn with pretty lingerie blouse If
she so desired.
