CAMPAIGN FOR Bet
TER TRAIN SERVICE
Towns Along Line Of Northwestern
Road Wans Improved Ac.
commodations.

Jewell Record: The Record is in.
formed that a movement is to be
launched in all of the towns along
this line of the Northwestern Rail
way, in an attempt to secure better
passenger train service between Des
Moines and Minneapolis. The Cham
ber of Commerce and Agriculture, o1
the city of Ames, is taking the initia
step in the matter, and commercial
organizations and other organized
bodies in all towns along the line
are urged to unite with the Ames
body in petitioning the state rail.
road commission for the additional
train service.
Years ago there was first-class
Des Moines to Minneapolis train or
the Northwestern. The train left Des
Moines in the evening, reaching
Jewell at about eleven o'clock al
night and arriving in Minneapolis
at about eight O'Clock in the morn
ing, leaving there at eight o'clock al
night, reaching Jewell at about
three-thirty or four o'clock in the
morning and arriving in Des Moines
at about six or seven o'clock. That
train was taken off when the two
cent passenger rate went into effect
in July, 1905, the Northwestern
company claiming that the train
was not profitable, and it has never
been restored.
The plan now suggested is that
the present Eagle Grove to Des
Moines train be run through to Lake
Crystal, Mimi, where this line OF
the Northwestern meets the Omaha
branch of the Northwestern, and
that a Minneapolis chair car and a
sleeping car be attached to it from
Des Moines to Lake Crystal, switch.
ing on to the Omaha-Minneapolis
train at that point. Presumably the
plan would include similar arrange
ments for a return train. 1t would
make no difference in passenger train
service from Jewell to Des Moines
and return, but would merely mean
that the present Des Moines to Eagle
Grove morning, and evening train
service would be extended to Mime.

The fact that there are numerous
junction towns along the line from
Des Moines to Minneapolis is relied
upon as good argument when the
matter is brought before the rail
road commission. Slater, Ames

Saws There is Nothing to It.

Lou Dale, residing some eight
miles southwest of Webster City,
says that the report to the effect that
somebody stole 200 or 800 chickens
from him short time ago is un-
true. He has some chickens, he says,
but not that many, and has not lost
any by theft. Just how the report
gained currency is mystery to him.
The people Of that neighborhood do
not like to have such stories put in
circulation and that kind OF coke
is not relished by them.

ANOTHER VISIT
TO A TOY SHOP
Kane's Variety Store Has Fine Line
Of New Toys-some Novelties
Are Seen.

Kane's Variety store is crowded
these days, particularly in the toy
section. While Mr.. Kane states that
he has been unable to get his usual
supply of German made toys, he has
Ia large line of American manufact-
|ured goods. Among the dolls he has
been able to secure some beauties
and e. few Ksstncr dolls in the lot.
These Kestner dolls are the pretti-
lest dollies little girl ever. gazed at,
and look exactly like babies. There
are also character dolls and some
celluloid dolls which may be given
baths in the tub. There are some
American made dolls with unbreak-
able heads and cloth bodies which
would prove an economical purchase
to mothers with young children.
Some of these have wigs and look
remarkably life like.l There are al
|so kid bodied, "go to sleep" dollies,
from $2.75 down in price.
Among the little dishes there is
the cutest set of aluminium dishes.
This is little tea set and there are
also china tea sets, both in decorat-
led and white china. There are 'cook-
ing sets in aluminium also with tiny
moulds for jelly and other cunning
miniatures of kitchen ware.
One of the newest in indestructible
toys for children, is an iron pump
attached to an iron trough. The
trough may be filled with real water
and the suction produced by working
the pump handle will bring the wat
er up and pump it into a little iron
bucket. The toy is unusually clever
and would amuse child for hours
at time. This retails at 25c. An
other new toy is Sandy Andy" This
is toy derrick with tin shovels and
machinery worked with string
just the thing to use in sand pile
but may also be used in winter, for
a box of clean white sand goes with
it and may be productive of hours
of quiet play in doors.
Railroads on tracks and off them;
street cars, milk wagons and trucks
almost crowd each other off the
counter and are looked at with long
ing eyes by the little folk. A few
electrical toys are shown this year,
one being toy motor, which. at
tached to dry battery, will whirl
and buzz in delightful way.
Mr.. Kane has lot of mechanical
toys that wind up or go by their own
motive power and Panama pile
driver is one of the cutest of these.
This pile driver looks like the kind
shown in the Howe pictures, only on
a smaller scale, and ought to please
any little boy.
Many occasional games are found
here also-among which are color
ing kits, sewing kits and plasticine
that finest of all toys for child
rem. Plasticine is artists clay which
may be nodded in various shapes and
forms without soiling the children's
hands or clothing. Instructions go
with the clay for the molding Of IA
miliar objects. There are building
blocks in wood galore and among
these is an entirely new outfit for
the building Of bungalow. There
are church architectural wooden

CHICAGO. Aug. 14.-Crop damage reports caused much excitement today in the grain market and wheat prices had an upturn of from "A to SIS from the low point of the day, closing a little off from the high point at a net advance of Az to 45s, with December closing at 1.455s and September at 1.42
 Corn finished at an advance of $s to $ O 1 and oats $ higher. Provis- ions finished strong at to 42c higher.
 The sensational advance in wheat prices came well along in the session after selling induced apparently by the break in Liverpool had carried the market well below yesterdays closing figures.
 Crop damage reports giving discour- aging news from the Canadian and northwest fields sent the prices away from the low levels.
 The first bullish report of the day was from a crop expert who insisted that his reports showed that the north west fields would not meet the gov ernment crop report figures. He con tended that the rust and weather dam age had continued in spite of. recorded precipitation.
 Traders rushed to the buying side and prices mounted steadily.
 Local cash sales totalled 3O5,OO0 bushels of wheat of which 25O,OOO were credited to exporters. There was a good trade in corn with selling general.
 There was a good demand for oats.
 Provisions responded to an advance 'n the live hog prices. The cash trade was fair though the demands for ribs was less active than the interest dis nlavad in other lines
