Lookey-On In Iona

Hubbard. Feb. 15.-Here goes for
more "inhumanity." Why is it so many
people use the waiting room of the
railroad depots as place to relate TO
all in the room their family affairs!
If there has been a funeral il the fam
lily we get all of the interesting facts
concerning the coffin, its occupant,
what she did at the grave. how ne
treated her when he was alive, now
she will probably not wear mourning,
ano ! will bet she narr:es again In
six months if she gets chance. Then
after eNhausting the funeral We get
the details of his last sickness Moth
ins seems to be forgotten from the
time he was taken - his last
breath" what he said when the minis
ter called, and what the minister
ssnoothed over in the funeral sermon
are especially toothsome mursels. II is
zero weather outside, and it is choice
of evils.
Some one has said there is no word
for home in the F'rel.ch language And
if our present methods q publicity in
crease we viii not need the word or
place. Young people ccusregate in our
railroad dapots, seemingly Cor the pur-
pose OF telling the whiting passengers
where they have been, who was there,
what ne said and what ] did. The last
dance is q fruitful subject, The writer
has heard about this last dance FOR
over twenty five years. Can repeat
what ne said and she said. What she
wore and how man; times she has
worn H. There was 4 time when we
ina gined this crowd mad forgotten
they were in ap u5lic place, now we
.,now better. They have come down 10
the depot to tell Us about ii Well.
what's the harm? oh nothing much.
Only one gets tired alter while, Of
music and society details.

And what sort Of Ian shall we

Mr.. Thorne is undoubtedly one of the
most wonderful minds in this state. or
IN the United States, when il comes to
railway rates. The best railway men
ana their most expert lawyers have
unable TO cope with him in debate Of
facts or knowledge Of conditions, and
they all hate and fear him. He is
worth hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars 70 Iowa. and ali he is asking is
a sufficient fund To make sure all ex-
Should Iowa turn MIN down and run
the chance Of losing MS brains by let
ting the railways or other big inter-
efts get him? That is one big ques
tiSn right now that the legislators
have TO consider. and il is the biggest
proposition before the general as
cembly. Mr.. Thorne is not begging for
more salary for him self or the commits
sion. He seems wrapped up in the idea
of making a successful stand for Iowa
in all railway rate matters that come
UP. and he Is equal to any man in any
other state to do IT. The commission
had $4,000 for expenses the last two
years and it was not enough to carry
keep up. For all Iowa taxpayers to
pay the expenses asked would not cost
a quarter Of a cent an acre. and 1t
would seem to be worth It to protect
the interests of Iowa producers from
the danger OF being oyercharged for
any kind of transportation.

a lamentable number OF coastirig acci-

One Of the most important subjects
to which the city administration might

Norris. a radical republican. won the
compromise amendment which saved
the measure from absolute defeat. One
feature Of Norris amendment was very
important. 1t forbid the United States
from acquiring any interned belliger-
ent vessel without the consent Of the
belligerent nations interested. Senator
Kenyon refused further overtures from
the White House on the bill. Senator
LaFolle.te was counted for the bill by
the democrats.

Every now and then a report gets
abroad throughout Virginia that the
New York Central and Hudson River
hallway has bought tho Virginian Rail
way. or is just about to gobble il up
The report came in great shape last
week. 1t was said that the finishing
touches to tho deal would 10 put on in
Chicago last Wednesday,. Tho fact
that two of the Eirginian's high OIL
Gals left Norfolk on Monday. one of
them, letting drop the remark that
he WAS going to the Windy City. CON
firmed the report in the m!nds of
some who were taking a decided in
terest in the matter ON the same day
tho telegraph wires Informed all OF the
newspapers that the New York Central
had foatcd bonds to the amount of
one hundred million dollars. and. of
course. there were those to jump at
tho conclusion that the hundred mil
lion dollars were to go to the payment
Tor the Nirginian. Inquiry by The
Times Dispatch brought forth the In
formation that the president and other
high officials of the New York Central
emphat!cally denied the report that
the Virgnian had been purchased
These officials also said the Central
had no thought of acquiring the Nir-
ginian. and had not dreamed of enter
ing into any negotiations looking to
its purchase or TO Its lease.
1t seems that there is considera BILE
trouble about that hundred million
dollar bond issue. and even If II had
been intended to use the proceeds for
the purchase of the Nirginian, II Is
doubtful II the deal would go through
