Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine. Aug. 1.-THE collapse
of the wholesale prosecution of To-
cal concerns selling temperance beer
is expected to follow as a result
of the analysis which has been made
of the wet goods confiscated by the
state thru the Law Enforcement
League. Chemists report from 120 to
IA of per cent Of alcohol in the con-
coction and the local wholesalers who
were made the victims OF the raid
threatened the prosecution of every
soda fountain proprietor in the city if
the prosecution was continued. That
all fruit flavors contain a larger per-
centage Of alcohol than that of the
Temperance beer" was the claim which
they advanced.

Growing Demand For
ARTIFICIAL ICE

A constantly growing demand for our
ARTIFICIAL ICE is an indication of the
satisfaction it is giving to those who are
using this excellent hot weather necessity,
and that their satisfaction is being made
known.
Quite a large number Of new ARTI-
FICIAL ICE customers tell us, that they
are buying distilled water ice on the recon-
mendation of their neighbors, who are
using our artificial ice.
It takes an article of high merit to be
recommended in this way, and while we
know that our ARTIFICIAL ICE is second
to none that is made anywhere to have the
endorsement of so many satisfied customers
isproof that we are not making any unwar-
ranted assertions.
ARTIFICIAL ICE made from deep well
water, boiled, distilled and filtered before
being Frozen is the very purest ice it is pos
sible to produce. To convince yourself Of
this, it is only necessary to give it a trial.
YELLOW WAGONS deliver ARTI-
FICIAL ICE. Hail our man on the wagon
and have him fill your refrigerator, or tele-
!. phone us, and we Twill see that this is done
for you.

You can enjoy the best that is known

THE FIRST APPOINTMENTS

@OVERNOR BRUMBAUGH has
- made capital appointments at
- the start of his administration.
In Francis Skunk Brown he will
have an attorney general of national
fame, who possesses wide learning and
who accords in every way with the
traditions of the office and the long
line of eminent men who have sat at
the right hand of the governors Cyrus
e. Woods is legislator of ripe ex-
perience and achieved note in his pro-
fesslon and one who has, moreover,
served the country abroad with credit
In James S. Hiatt the Governor will
have with him the man who was clos
est to him from the time he became
a candidate, who for years has been
identified with the educational work
wherein DR.. Brumbaugh has shone.
Mr.. Brown comes of ancestry dis
tinguished in the service of the COM
monwealth from revolutionary days
Two were governors and his own life
has been filled with public service.
His career as lawyer is known to
dresses he has made here, especially
before the last Legislature, attracted
wide attention. Few men in the State
have his grasp of the intricacies of
taxation and other problems which
form the great bulk of the work of the
law department, and his force of char
acter and learning make him an ideal
law officer of PENNSYLVANIA.
Cyrus E. Woods is too well known
to Harrisburg people to be praised.
From the days he worked as a re-
porter on this newspaper he was re-
garded as a man of high attainments
and his legislative service was carried
out in our midst. 1t is like welcomin.
a former resident back to Harrisburg
to note his appointment to his high
office.
The new secretary to the Governor
knows what the new executive wants
and has the ability to carry out his
delicate duties, as we'll as most pleas
ing personality.

FOR RECORDING
TELEPHONE CONVERSATION

An interesting addition to telephone
equipment is an apparatus described,
with illustration, in the February
Popular Mechanics Magazine, by
which telephone conversations may be
recorded for future reference This
apparatus consists of a small metal
box which contains q set of dry bat
teries and an extremely sensitive tele-
phone transmitter. Both ends of the
telephone conversation are taken up
by this receiver and retransmitted by
the dry batteries to an electric record
er that acts on the wake cylinder rec
ord of phonograph. In using, the
regular receiver of the telephone is
taken from the hook and placed, with
the earpiece down, on the socket of
the recording instrument, and in this
position sends to the transmitter
within the box all sounds that pass
through the telephone. TO use the
telephone receiver in this way, it must
be wired to both circuits in the tele-
phone. The user then talks into the
telephone in the usual way. but uses
a small receiver attached to the rec
cording instrument. The phonograph
can be started and stopped at will by
means of two push buttons.

Lieutenant Governor was q graceful
mark of recognition on the part of the
people of his native State.
1t was characteristic of John M.
Reynolds that as president of the
Board of Pardons during the past
four years by virtue of his elective
office, he did not miss a single session
of that body, and from another angle
OF his makeup no less typical of the
man that every dollar of the contin-
gent fund of his office should go back
into the State Treasury.
1t has been the same throughout his
career. When appointed to the insu-
lar affairs committee in the House of
Representatives at Washington, he
devoted months of time at his own ex-
pense visiting the island possession of
the United States, in order to be the
better equipped to deal justly with leg
islation affecting them. Once when
the Democrats of his district wished
to nominate him he agreed to run only
on condition that all should know he
differed from the party on the subject
oil the tariff. AS an official o" the
Cleveland administration. he did not
hesitate to stand between the Union
veterans and unfriendly fellow Off
Gals who would have deprived the
soldiers of much that was their due

enjoys the we'll earned esteem of a
host of his fellow men.

A VALUABLE PUBLICATION

= 7 INDER the title of Department
Reports of Pennsylvania" the
Telegraph Printing Company
has begun the issue of weekly
publication that promises to fill a
growing need in the State. 1t will
cover in a comprehensive way all of
the activities of the governmental de-
partments and the courts in impor-
tant rulings, opinions and decisions.
Particular attention will be paid to
matters pertaining to the Public
Service, Department of Labor and In
dustry and to the Attorney Generals
Department. It will be of particular
value to lawyers, heads of corpora
tions of all sorts and public officials,
keeping them fully abreast of the
times in the latest developments of
State regulation and control.
Every day brings the government
and the people into closer relation
ship. More and more business is being
made to conform with regulative laws
and rulings. It is therefore important
that the attorney and the company
manager know just what has been
done in this respect or is in contem-
plation. 1t is to meet this need that
Departments Reports is designed.

~ OVERNOR MARTIN G. BRUM-
BAUGH'S inaugural message is
~ characteristic of the man and
prophetic of the administration
which to-day opens so auspiciously.
It's incisive literary style is in keeping
with its crisp analysis of the issues as
they present themselves TO the mind
of the incoming executive.
Governor Brumbaugh at the incep-
tion of his administration is an inau-
gural message in himself, just as in
the campaign of last Fall he was a
living platform. The brevity of his
inaugural, therefore, is entirely appro-
pirate and to have been expected of
him.
In his few words, however, the new
Governor says much, and to the point
lie reiterates his entire endorsement
of the important planks in the party
platform He is for good roads, work
mems compensation, the conservation
of men and material resources, better
regulation of child labor, the submits
sion of women suffrage to the vote of
the people, a more equitable and per-
haps economical dispensation of State
charity funds and increasing advance
ment in popular education. He has
lost none of his concern for local OPP
ton and slfstains the anticipations of
those who know well the resoluteness
of his purposes by pledging himself
anew to the achievement of that re-
form.
Governor Brumbaugh rightly ac-
! cepts the vote of more than half a mil
lion of his fellow Pennsylvanians as
a commission to himself as we'll as to
the Legislature to enact the laws for
which the people have expressed their
desire. There need be no fear of his
disregarding to the slightest extent the
right of the General Assembly to en-
tire freedom of action. but while an
executive may not drive, he may. with
eminent propriety lead.
The administration of Martin G.
Brumbaugh is most happily launched.
1t gives promise of great things and
the plaudits of men of all political per-
suasions is altogether genuine.
