Leave on Western Trip.

Mrs. W. J. Zitterell, Miss WINNIE
Zitterell, Mrs. Nan Garfield and Miss
Maude Knoop, the latter two of
Waterloo, left Saturday for Fair
bury, Neb., to attend the wedding Of
Miss Jessie King, who visited at the
Zitterell home last summer. Miss
King is to marry a Lincoln, Neb.,

Knoop expect to render piano and
violin selection at the wedding.
From Fairbury Mrs. and Miss Zit-

invited to return to give the people
another one of his famous programs
this summer.
Schildkret's Orchestra is famous not
alone for the high grade music 1t
produces, but for the wonderful va
riety in its repertory. Sam has also
distinguished himself as a hardwork-
ing leader, and it is doubtful whether
there is another leader in the country
who will make as many responses to
encores as this good natured leader
does. He seems to enjoy his own
programs to the limit. and this adds
very greatly to the enjoyment of the
audience.
Schildkret will be remembered as
the talking leader, and the people will
again get as much fun as they choose
from the many funny little speeches
he makes with his announcements
Another big treat is in store for them
when Sam Schildkret brings his Hun
garian Orchestra to the Chautauqua.

Little Ones Make Record.

Two little girls in the kindergart-
en- this year made the record for
themselves of having attended school
every day during the past school
year. They were neither absent or
tardy in that time, and for this they
were presented by their teacher,
Miss Belle Wyckoff, with silver
spoons marked with the word Kind
ergarten' as mementos of their eff
fort. Other little ones tried so hard
to make such records but missed by
one or two days illness, and were
presented with boxes Of candy fol
their perseverance.

R. J. Mullins substituting in thu
quartet for E. S. Boudinot, who was
out of the city. The others, Mrs
McCauliff, Miss Margaret Chamber
lin and Byard Dodge, together with
Mr.. Mullins, received the hearty
praise Of the large company upon the
excellent rendition of their number
Closing the musical numbers, R
J. Mullins gave his famous Yiddish
love song, bringing down the house
with his mimicry.
Congressman w. D. Jameson OF
Shenandoah, one of the candidates
for initiation, and E. M. Valentine
of Ames, were both called upon for
speeches and responded in salts
factory manner.
Following the banquet, some of
the members of the band pulled off
few musical stunts upon the street
and the entire company then pro-
ceeded to the armory, where the in
itiatory ceremonies of the day were
held. The exercises were begun by a
short musical program. Several fine
selections we're given by the band,
after which Mrs. McCauliff gave in
her splendid voice, Come Sing to
Me-" This number was followed by a
burst of applause to which she grac-
iously responded with "Tipperary.
Miss Katherine Zitterell contrib
uted to the program with a whist
ling solo which was also accorded a
hearty encore. Both performers
were presented with flowers upon
their response to encores, Miss Rosa
lind Cook accompanying both vocal

lie was concerned and an unques-
tionably fine time was enjoyed by
all.
The special train departed for Des
Moines from this city about 1890
o'clock, others leaving for their
homes upon earlier trains of the ev-
ening. The attendance in the city
was perceptibly diminished by
the rain of Thursday night, for
many had planned to come overland.
Twenty cars were decorated ready to
leave Waterloo but failed to come on
account of the weather. Eleven more
from two small towns in the north
ern part of the state were ready to
start but were detained by the rain.
Others from nearer would also nave
been present had it not been for
Threatening weather.
The business district and many
residences were handsomely decor
ated for the occasion with the Shrin-
er colors and other insignia Of the
order and flags and bunting were
displayed all over the city, merch-
ants and residents responding read
lily to the appeal to "dress up" for
the day.

Commend Senator Chase.

The legislative board of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen has just
made it's report upon the work of the
last session of the legislature and
commends the course of Senator
Chase. The board keeps close tab
upon the records of Legislators, not
ing their vote and attitude upon
questions of Importance to railroad
employees.
The report is printed in pamphlet
form and contains about twenty-five
pages. 1t is prepared for the infor-
nation of members of the brother
hood and seeks only to impartially
set forth the record of legislators up
on matters in which railroad en-
ployees are directly interested. The
attitude of Senator Chase upon the
| following measures are commended:
The bill for semi-monthly pay, bill
against false reports, absent voters
bill, full crew bill, car limit bill,
child labor amendment, loan shark
bill, Chases rule of evidence bill,
etc. The senator from this district
not only voted right upon all Of
these propositions, but he gave much
effort and time in getting them en-
acted into law. In speaking of his
efforts upon the bill pertaining to
the burden of proof of contributory
negligence, prepared and introduced
by himself, the report says:
In the house in the 22nd and 23rd
general assemblies, Senator Chase
introduced the bill we are now go
ing to consider. We were able two
years ago to have this bill passed by
the senate. but it was lost in the
house, but at this session we have
! been able to have this bill passed
and made into law. 1t is with regard
to the burden of proof of contribu-
tory negligence in personal injury
cases and reverses the present rule
of evidence in this respect, making
| the defendant when he alleges con-
tributory negligence prove that the
plaintiff has been guilty of the same.
This law fills in a gap in the Iowa
statute and makes the Iowa personal
injury laws as good, If not the best,
of any state in the union. Too many
good things cannot be said by our
labor organizations for Senator
Chase who fathered and fostered this
bill through the Legislature, he be-
ing the first man in the United
States to draw up and introduce the
safety appliance act which was
passed in the house in the 23rd gen.
eral assembly. Father Coffin then
took the bill and went to Washing
ton and started the fight which led
to our present safety appliance
act"
Much credit is due Senator Chase
because of the loyal stand he has al
ways taken for the men who work.
He is considered the most influential
man in the Iowa senate and his great
force is always eXerted in measures
which are of interest to the man
who tolls.
