DE3 MOINES, Oct. 21.-(Speclal.)-The
Iowa monuments cn Lookout mountain and
Missionary Ridge; which have been erected

Captain 8. B. Humbert of Cedar Falls,
chairman of the commission in charge of
the monument work, has received notice
to go to Chattanooga next week and Inspect
the work with a view to acceptance. The
last work Is that of putting In place on
the central monument, a forty-ton stone,
forming the major portion of the monu
ment. A beautiful bronza. figure will sur
mount the monument. Iowa has erected
three monuments to commemorate the part
Iowa took In the fighting at Missionary
Ridge and around Lookout Mountain, the
central monument being at the Intersection
of a prominent road leading from Chatta
noogu. Governor Cummins and hla mill-
i tary staff and others prominent In the
state will participate In tha ceremonies of
unveiling. The work Is in progress on
Iowa monument at Vlcksburg, and at
Shlloh the monuments await unveiling be
cause of the disagreement over the In
scription. The commission to build a
monument at Andrrsnnville has Just re
turned from there and no contract have
been let.
Rnrk Island Workmen Resamo.
Work at the shops of the Rock Island
railroad at Valley Junction has now te?n
resumed In full and in accordance with the
former aotlvlty there. Under the manage
ment oi President Loree the shp foree had
been gradual'y reduced until finally In
August the shops were practically closed.
As this Is the only chops of the com
pany in Iowa save at Cedar Rapids, where
similar condition prevailed, It meant the
throwing of many good workmen out of
positions. The past r.-.onth a change has'
been effected and the old workmen are
now back at work, not only In the shops,
but all along the line In various capaci
ties. Will I'so the Typewriters. '
Ths secretary of the State Board of Med
ical Examiners has decided that hereafter
tho questions to be submitted to students
for examination purposes wl I be written
I by typewriters in his office and not be
printed as In the past This Is th out
come of accusation made some tlm ago
that before the last examinations sets of
the printed questions were offered for sila
to student. No positive proof wa offered
the board that the question? were stolen
from printing office, but It was decided
today that the printers would be boycotted
and th' typewriters would ba patronised.

Charle Morton, colored, who struck end
killed an unidentified man on the street
yesterday morning, now pleads self-defence
and declares that the man attacked him at
S o'clock In th morning as he was washing
windows at a store. Morton struck the
man with his list and he fell to the side
walk, striking his head on the curb In
such a manner that tha skull waa frao

aminers has issued certificates to teach

with plans to generally Increase city risks
all over th country, but It U also known
that the Increase followed a cloi-e inspec
tion of the city water worka system and
water supply.
Damage Caso Rule.
Th Iowa supreme court decided, In a
damage ease from Woodbury county, that
there I no statutory provision authorizing
a. recovery by a huuband for injur.es to
the wlf causing her Instant death and
that by no process can he have a right of
such recovery. It was decided by the
court last year that th wife had no right
of recovery for the Inatant death of a hus
band. An effort was made to dieting. lsh
that caae from the piesent one Lectuse ihi
husband Is tecugnla.d by the common law
as having a property right in th wife
service, while the wife ha no correspond
ing property right In the support which
she Is entitled to receive from her bus
band. The court concedes the distinction,
but holds that In Iowa there can b no
right of recovery on the part of any third
person for th death of a human being un
let by express statute 'to provided, and
this has not been done In Iowa. '

themselves to resist the onslaught of a

Indicates Republican Victory,
The beet authorities In tha Magio City

yesterday' registration, which Is $00 In
excess of the best estimates of the moat

A LURID, ENTICING CIRCULAR
Literary Art (Jem Settlas; Forth th
Flue Penetrntlnat Effect of
Ohio Boose,
"When the cars stopped at Mlamlsburg,
0.," said the passenger, "a boy In bare feet
and a fur cap, rants through the cars, and
left a circular in the lap of rich person,
including the old maid with spectacles, aa
wtll as the fat man with a red nose."
The circular- which Is a foot and a half
long and a half foot wide, Is a work of art
from a literary standpoint. It bristles with
gems of thought and expression. It extollg
the "Poodle Dog" saloon-a "Inexorable to
competition." Its motto lai "If drinking
Interferes with your business, quit your
buslnesr. It's up to you."
This of Its free lunch! "Our lavish lunch,
prepared by experienced chefs, served ab
solutely free. Is a consternation creator
amongst Julntkeepers generally. In several
casts producing premature gray hair and i
explaining why the listless expression has
manifested Itself on their faces."
Of the Dog Itself: "Remember this place
Is for men only-etrlctly stag no boys, no
bums, no games, no gambling. You will not
be Importuned to set 'em up, or mingle
with tinhorn gamblers, libertines, and the
cffscourlngs of God's creation.
"Long-winded telephone 1661.
"Our whlskloa will change life from a
barren waste to sn Iridescent dream."
But It Is the beer served by "Tha Poodle
Dog" on which th poet of Mlamlsburg
throws himself:
"Wehner. beer on draught a superior
article of beer, containing the most palat
able qualltlea of a refreshing drink with
the Invigorating and wholesome properties
of the best malt extracts, thus presenting a
desirable beverage alike to the invalid and
the healthy, that combine a'l the virtue
of European brewe the excellent aroma of
hops; tha strengtheningpure taste of malt)
the clear Rhine wine color, the small
beaded, creamy, whlte-as-snow foam, which
covers tha last drop left In the glass, has
obtained preferenoe for It even to Imported
brer, from the best Judges of good bnrley
Juice surpassing all others In fine taste,
flavor, brilliancy ard nutritious qualities."
Descending to details the poet adds:
1. Plenty of water, which make It a thirst
quenching beverage, that is, a drink.
2. That water has been well boiled, which
makes it a safe drink.
$. Plenty of carbonic sold gas, and that
maxes it a lively drink.
4. Tho least alcohol of any alcoholic bev
erage in the world, but still enough alcohol
to make a stimulating and refresrung drink.
f. A Utile dash of malt extract in solu
tion to add an attractive amber color to th
beer and contribute to the white plume of
foam.
. A little dash of hop extract to add a
slightly tonlo bitter, which also serves to I
