IOWA WESLEYAN WILL
NOT JOIN SIMPSON

mt l1CdooAI, GU. AO sSoASeS
ton which has been under way for
some time to combine Iowa Wesleyan
college with Simpson college at In
dianola received another blow when
in recent meeting Of the Wesleyan
board of trustees that body refused
to hold a conference with the Simp-
son board relative to the consolida-
ton
The idea grew out Of plan to unite
the Des Moines and Iowa conferences
of the Methodist church, the reason
put forth being that such a union
would facilitate the exchange Of pas
tors. Since it would be unusual to
maintain two schools in the same con-
ference, Simpson authorities conclud-
ed that the union would ultimately re-
suit in the consolidation of the insti-
tutions. They furthermore concluded
that Wesleyan would be removed to
Simpson. Indianola being more CEN
trally located in the proposed union
that Mt. Pleasant. Jubilant over the
prospects of acquiring additional
students, instructors, equipment and
endowment, the Simpson board lnvlt-
ed q meeting with the Wesleyan
authorities for the consideration OF
the project The invitation was de-
clined by unanimous vote of the
local body.
President Schell of Iowa Wesleyan
is Of the opinion that the union of the
two conferences would not necessarily
affect the colleges therein. Among
others opinion regarding the confer
ence union is divided, bus ne Wes-
leyan authorities are united in their
determination to maintain the school
here at Mt. Pleasant independent OF
Simpson or other institutions.

ROAD FOR time

Mayor Lane. who took the trip
around the island yesterday with the
members Of the road committee, is
especially enthusiastic concerning
that portion Of the around-the-island
read known as the Pupukea strip.
This portion runs for a distance OF
some four and three-quarter miles.
1T is great piece OF road" says
the mayer, land one surely finds It
pleasure to ride over the completed
parts. A few weeks more will see It
finished, and then We can. certainly
boast splendid start on the around
the-island read"
Two gangs are at work on the road,
one gang at Kahuku working under
the supervision of Andrew Adams and
tho other gang at WaiaIua end. under
Oscar Cox. This is the work that
was taken over by the city, after re-
jecting other bids which were consid-
cred far too high. An appropriation
of $4,000 was made for carrying on
the construction. t,..~ss.
Engineer Whitehouse says that the
strip of road to which the mayor re-
fers will be finished by the end of the
month, and that the outfit used there
will be removed Immediately after
that to Kahana, that work may be
kept up continuously. $50 ~
The engineer says that it viii be
necessary. beginning in about a month,
to close the road entirely for periods
OF two and three weeks and shut on
traffic Of all sorts In some parts from
time to time. This will prevent an
entire areand-the-isiaRd trip, he says.
but he hopes that the good effects pro-
duced By the work will be enough to
far outweigh the temporary. disadyan-.
tage of having the road closed.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi.
ton is perfectly natural. It is just as
natural as It is for old people to walk
slowly. For age is never so active as
youth. The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels
must be kept active. This Is import
ant at all ages, but never so much as
at fifty y. - -
Age is not q time for harsh ply

the bowels into activity But a lash
can't be used every day. What the
bowels Of the old need Is q gentle and

such tonic Is Gascarets, and they cost

RICH GOLD STRIKE MADE

Rapid City, S. D., Nov. 18.-Claim
owners and prospectors 30 miles west
of the city on Rapid creek are in q
fever of excitement last night over
what they call the richest placer prop
osition ever found in the Black Hills.
Some affirm it is the richest discov-
cry in the worlds history Of mining.
Two old-time prospectors, in testing
black dirt taken from 134-foot tun-
mel on property owned by Nellie Mil
Ter of this city, washed $1.S5 in gold
from a pan and half of the dirt. A
pan Of dirt in placer mining averages
10 cents. Five pans of this dirt show
ed more than IS in coarse gold.
The end of the tunnel is so feet be-
low the surface and there is no in;
dication that bed rock has been struck.
Mining men affirm that, when the bed
rock is reached, gold in unthinkable
quantities will be found.
Mrs. Miller was offered $4,000 for
her claim, but refused to consider sale.

PROHIBITION IN RUSSIA.

Medical Journal.-Bechterew points
out the economical, moral and physical
advantages which the prohibition of
the sales of any kind of alcoholic
beverages is liable to bring. During
the first eight months of the prohibit
ton in force, the number Of arrests
and convictions considerably decreas-
ed, while during the seven months
previous to the enactment of the law
putting an end to the sale of vodka,
the number of Jail inmates had in.
creased to 10000. In Moscow the num-
Der of petty thefts and robberies was
reduced to 40 per cent, and of other
crimes by "a to "A per cent. In
Petrograd and other cities, prostitu-
ton is also considerably on the de-
crease. The favorable influence of the
prohibition on future generations is
impossible to estimate at present.

And Fashioned deep in the ethereal

Can never be it's morning self again
Because of this brief madness, man
with man;
AS though the laughing elements
should tire, ,s~.,. ~
The very seasons in their order reel,
AS though indeed yon ghostly golden
wheel r. ,&s~'z 5%- d
Of stars should cease from turning, or
the moon
Befriend the night no more, or the
wild rose
Forget the world, and June be no more
How many wars and long-forgotten
woes
Unnumbered, nameless, made a like
despair
In hearts long stilled; how many suns
have set
On burning cities blackening the air
Yet dawn came dreaming back, her
lashes wet ..- .a-.s
with dew, and DAISIES in her innocent
mar. ..."1@ a-sa< .e
Nor shall, for this, the souls ascension
pause,
Nor the sure evolution of the laws
That out of foulness lift the flower to
sun, s. "4a55
And out of fury forge the evening star.
Deem not loves building or the world
undone-
Far loves beginning was, her end is
far;
BY paths Of fire and blood her feet
must climb,
Seeking loneliness she scarcely
knows,
Whose meaning is beyond the reach

appeal to you as a good citizen to
consider your attitude towards fires.
Fires are not a mere spectacular per-
Torrance. They are destroying the
homes of the people. They are costing
untold sums in property loss-to say
nothing of the number of lives lost
each year. The actual money-loss
from fires in this city last year exceed
ed $S,OO0,0OO, of which you bore part of
the burden.
Be your own fire prevention inspec-
tor. Look over your premises, and see
that there is nothing that could cause
a fire. Get rid of rubbish. Overhaul
your heating plant now, preparatory to
starting winter fires. Examine your
electric light wires. Common sense
and intelligent observation will guide
you in this matter.
The courts have decided that per.
sons can be held responsible for negli-
gence and damages for fires resulting
from their culpable carlessness. We
have recently installed Bureau of
Fire Investigation. Each fire will be
investigated and it's cause ascertained.
The last person leaving the house
where fire has occurred will be close
ly questioned with a view of fixing re-
sponsibility for such fire. Both civil
and criminal actions in cases of fires
are to be prosecuted vigorously.
Good citizenship and "enlightened
self interest" should prompt you to CO.
operate with US in this matter.
This advice should be followed by
the residents of every town of Ameri-
ca just as we'll as by New Workers.
Fire losses in the United States are
greater than anywhere else on earth.
This would not be if the people
exercised a reasonable amount of care.
That we take such chances of fire as
we do is disgraceful proof of our
habits of wastefulness and of our lack
of efficiency.

FIRE PREVENTION

Fire prevention is becoming mat
ter of widespread interest throughout
the nation, but nowhere Is more at
tention being paid to the subject than
in New York. On Fire Prevention
day last month, Robert Adamson, the
fire commissioner, placarded the city
of New York with notices regarding
Fire Prevention day and, in addition,
he sent out 100000 copies Of an ad'
dress that lead as follows:
Fires are costing you personally
each year $1.44. If there are four
members of your family, fires are cost
ing your household $5.76 a year. Care.
lessness causes three-quarters of these
fires. If people in this city were not
so careless, you personally would have
more money to spend on food, clothing
and other necessities. This is q mat.
ter which affects your vital interests.
Seventy-6ve per cent of all fires &C.
cur in the homes Of the people. Ex-
anime your own premises and see ii
some of your careless habits might
not be responsible for bad fire condi.
tions. Perhaps you personally, or
members of your family, are careless
in the use of matches, allowing chill.
dren to play with them, or leaving
them where rats and mice can get at
them; perhaps you are a careless
smoker and throw lighted matches,
cigarets, etc., away. Carelessness with
matches caused 1,248 fires last year,
costing you your share of $192,918; de-
fective stoves, furnaces and heating
plants caused 958 fires, costing $685.
