Stock on Franchise Value.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 10
Public utilities will be prevented
from issuing stock on franchise
value or on other property than
money without a public hearing by q
bill passed unanimously In the sen.
ate.
The bill by Byington Of Johnson
county provides that following arpli.
cation by a public utility for issu.
ance OF stocks on any property, the
state executive council must call a
public hearing and advertise It in
newspapers in the town where the
utility is located.
The council is authorized to hire
experts to make valuation on the
properties, the expenses to be paid
by the corporation.
The house passed the bill by WITCH
man which prohibits publishing pro-
ceedings of county officers in foreign
language papers.
1t repeats the present law which
provides for publication in the
foreign language papers. The Larson
bill requiring county recorders to
turn over their fees quarterly instead
of annually also passed the lower
house.

DOUBLE HEADER
Brilliant Fielding and Coco
Pitching Feature Both
Games

The unique distinction of hold
ing the opposition scoreless for lo
innings was attained by the local
baseball club on Saturday when
in the double header played at
home, Continental shut out New
Castle in both games.
The first game was fast and
snappy, both teams giving the best
of support to their respective
twirlers and putting up an error
less game. ContinentaPs fielding
was of an unusually high order,
only one error being registered in
the entire 18 innings. Briscoe was
on the mound for Continental in
the first game and held New Castle
to five scattering hits. Johnson
pitched the second game and al
lowed the opposition only two
scratch hits both of which were
made by Mcdaniel. Wingate's
stick work was a brilliant feature
of the day. He found the ball for
5 hits in the two games, one a three
bagger.
Mclaughlin, Hall, and Ritz also
did good work at the bat. The
