One of the meat remarkable men In Ihls county Is Marlln Martin , a wealthy gentle man who lives a few Inlles south of Love- land. Martin Is a Scotchman and he has been In this country for many years. One of his amblllous designs has long been to transplant some of the baronial manners and customs from the old country to this. It Is generally understood that ho Is the owner of a title which ho could claim if lie crossed the ocean and made ha ! home In the father land. But the title that he is most proud of he has acquired since ho came to Potlawalla- mlo counly and this Is the title to the several hundred acres of fine farm lands that over look the rich Missouri rlvor valley In land township. Martin's ambition for years has beeo to build a great castle on his farm and make It the most notable place In this parl of Ihe country. Ho has walled until ho has acquired enough of the adjoining land to give him a respectable domain , and on the highest point near the center of this demesne ho has begun the erection of his castle. Tlie building has been In process of erection for the last three years and allhough It has grown into an immense struclure. Martin will not say how near It Is to completion. Ho has named It Martin castle. It Is built upon 'modified ' plans of ono of the oldest Scottish castles In the highlands and Is a most striking structure. It slta on n high plateau between two of the highest hills that overlook the river and passengers on the Norlhweslern trains con calch a glimpse of It as the train dashes around one of the many curves on the road between Council Bluffs and Missouri Valley. It "is only n glimpse , for the hills quickly shut It from view. Martin originally Intended to call It Mllrose ccetle , but as It progressed and grow in beauty and grandeur he con cluded to make It Inseparable with his own fame and name. During the last three years ho has had a force of mechanics at work on the building and grounds all of the time. Artificial lakes nnd spring-fed streams abound and are placed just where they should be to make the landscape per fect. Few people outside of the workmen have over seen the Inside of the castle. He boards the workmen and requires the strict est compliance with his wishes as the first condition of employment. The Dover river washes ono sldo of the cestlo grounds and an immense and high brick wall shuts out In truders. Moored In the Boyer Is a beautiful little steam-propelled launch. This launch has sufficient power to go against the stiff current of the Mlespurl river and make eight or ten miles an hour. Ho proposes to make It the solo means of communicating with the outsldo world and expects to be able to make the round trln to. Council ninffs or Omaha In half a day. The distance by rail Is eigh teen miles. Martin has been pushing the work on his caalle for the purpose of having it ready for the reception and entertainment of a largo number of guests whom he expects from the old country during the exposition.

WORK FUR THE LEGISLATURE Iowa Lawmakers Have Big Job Out Oat for Thorn. MUST FXTHE NUMBER IN LOWER HOUSE \ylll lie Culli-il I'limi ' to UNtnlillxh it Pormniifut llnnlM of JHHtrlliittlcm Otlnrnt \ * tor Them to CrnoU. DBS MOINES , Dec. 25. ( Spcclal.-Oao ) of d'lo most ImportciU matters that will come before the coming eosaloh of the legislature iias aa yet received llltlo uttcnUcn In the public press. It Is the matter of a constitu tional amendment to fix the number of mem- born of the lower house of the legislature and to establish a permanent basis of dls- trlbuttcn. At the last regular scrotou a Joint resolution was passed providing for the submUsUn at a special election of un amend ment to the constitution to make radical changes In this regard. Such a resolution must rw i' two assemblies aud thto luo elec tion Is to bo held and a majority-of the votes cast will adopt the amendment. There are nlncty-cilno counties In Iowa , which have at present 100 members In the house of representatives. The apportionment of representation U at present statutory and made to suit the legislature. Tlio new ar rangement as proposed by the amendment Is Intended to make It constitutional. It la pro vided first that every county In the state shall have one reprcscntallve. This will make n'liicty-nlno to begin with. Then the population cX the state shall bo divided b'y the number of counties and every county which has one aud three-fifths tlmeo the population Indicated by the quotient shall have an additional representative. But the total number of rcprcsentallvea shall bo limited to 115. Tlio rcsolutlcu passed the regular session of the T\\enty-ilxth general assembly without much opposition or very ferlous discussion. Tlicro has recently developed considerable opposition to It In certain quarters and It Is expected there will be a vigorous flg'it In the coming session. It will be a contest be tween the populous counties and thc-so of small population. At present there uro six dktrlcts which include more than cue county , the Eighty-second district is composed of Clay and Palo Alto ; the Eighth district of Lyon and O'Brien , the Seventy-sixth of Hum- bcldt and Pocahcutas ; the Nlacty-flrst of Wortn and Wlnnebago ; the Seventy-fifth of Hancock acid Wright ; the Eighty-first of Em- mctt , Dickinson and Osceola. On the other hand , the counties of Polk , Woodbury , Linn , Scott , Poltawattamle , Des MoUiea , Dubuque , Cllntcn and Leo bjsvo two each. The present population of the state divided by ninety-nine would give aa a quollent a figure close to 20,200. There Is a large nuin- iber of counties which on this basis are not entllled lo a represcnlatlvo each. On the other hand , there are several which should have more than two membcis. Polk would , If the distribution were on the basis of popu lation , liave about four ; Du'buquo ' and i3cott would have three each ; Pottawattanile and Woodibury would probably take three each. Yet these larger counties would be 1)arred from ever asking imore than two , while the small counties would be represented far out of proportion to their rights. These facts have been called to the attention of some of the members , and1 they are getting ready to make a careful Inquiry into the merits of the scheme before It will be given the sanction of another legislature. After tlie Joint reso lution passes the second legislature the con- femplutcd amendment to the constitution must bs submitted to a special election before the next general election. This would prob ably bring the special election some time during the coming summer. Another mat'ter ' of dlslricllng that will re quire the attention of the coming session is the apportionment of senatorial districts. There are fifty members of the senate. Ibis being constitutional. The present apportion ment Is sadly out of date. There Is one dis trict , Jackson county , which has about 24,000 population ; Jasper courity Is another , with about 27,000. There are others which have almost as small population , < but which , 'be ' cause cf their geographical situation and the difficulty of hitching them on to any district , have representation In the upper house greatly In excess of their proportlonale pop ulation. On the other hand there arc dis tricts in the northwest part of the stale which have two and a half to three times the population of these small districts. The Forty-seventh district Is represented toy A. B. iFunk , whoso constlluency includes the counties of 'Dickinson ' , Clay , Emmett , Kos- suth and Palo Alto. It has just about three times the 'population ' of Jackson county. Other districts are as badly out of proportion. All this must bo straightened out FO far as possible. Several members have made maps of a proposed redistribution , based on the census of 1895 , and they are discovering that the difficulty Is a serious one. It will take a good deal of time for solution. YOU WIMCII EACH DAY. The LutcMt Ilutlirooiii Fail Ainniif ? the Srvt-llH. llnvo. you seen the bath room scales ? They are amonp the latest things out , ac cording to the N w York Herald. If you have one in your lavatory you will find It nn Interesting adjunct to your bath , par ticularly if you KO In for massage tront- ment , aa so many persons are doing now. But what nn unsightly article of furni ture , you exclaim. Notblnir of the kind That simply shows your Ignorance of n matter which is full of Interest. The bath room scale Is dainty enough to adorn my lady's boudoir , should ahs choose to place It there. It can bo made , to harmonize with any color scheme , iMthoiit appearing grotesque. Those on exhibition were certainly flnls'iei moH artistically. One was In dclicntn colorlnps of onk ; another In white onamc and gold , lA'hllc. Htlll another was In pale b'.uo enamel , with a nickel plated beam Others are made to order and finished to match the fittings of the bathroom. Scales have. Ions been In use In Turkish bath eslabllBhments and uro conxldered almost as Important as the dry room Itself. A man loses from one to four pounds wcSsrhi whenever ho takes a Turkish bath , but It IB a fact that he e ldom lores nny weight at all In Inking an-ordinary tub bath , From this It may be thought bv the ordinary man that there Is no dc.mand for the bathroom oralo , but the ordinary man doesn't ' . : now It all. Ho completely forgets the fat lady who lives next door and the bulky gentle man that n'lAuytt makes such a furs when ever ho climbs on hoard the cable car. lln also forgets the dyspeptic gentleman nnd the thin lady with the sour face. Uut1 nslde from these he iloe ? not wem to realize the enormoup business lahlcb the maBhngo operators have built up within the print few years. It IB quite the proper thlnir to have your musfceur visit you at your homo at least once a week.

All of. this ban nn offcct upon the weiitht wiloh your ordinary p'-ungo or shower bith : would not havo. You welsh yourself after the mafn-ur Is through with you. You . -sill find the bathroom scale n bandy tiling to have around. Previous to the advent of thl * Innovation the ordinary tnan has not bothered his lieml very muc'i about * his weight.

" This would practically bring Engllnh In lustrles to a standstill. A now nnd largo plant Just erected In AlaUtma has Bold its entire output of sheet- ng nnd coarse cotton cloths for the next five rears to a syndicate of brokers In China. The fact that the goods nro to go to China and continue going for such A long ( icriod means the opculng of a considerable trade with that empire. There were 805 oil wells In Ohio and Indiana during the month of August last. Under the eight-hour plan this number of wells would employ 1,830 drillers and tool drcsecrs ; under the old twelve-hour plan only 1.220 men would find work on this number of wells , making a difference of 610 men In favor of the eight-hour day. The present month bids fair to establish a record In the American production of Iron nml steel. The great productive area of which Plttsburg Is the center has for the last two weekw experienced an activity that 1s phe nomenal , and the outlook at present Is that the famous record of production of Decem ber , 1892 , will bo eclipsed this month. The German woman proclaims her emanci pation , not only by going for academic de grees In competition with the men. but by engaging In all sorts of trades In like rivalry. A recent official report shows that there art- In Germany 3 women employed as chimney sweeps , 35 as slaters , 7 as gunsmiths , 147 cs coppersmiths , 379 as farriers and nailers , 309 as masons. 8 as stonecutters and 2.000 In marble , slate and stone quarries. H was only ten years ngo that our govern ment was obliged to order in England the forgings for the big guns for UH navy , though ten Inches was the largest caliber attempted to ho mide. Now a forging Is being made nt Bethlehem , Pa. , for the biggest gun In the \\orld , surra alng by atout thxc : feet In length and about four tons In weight the monster Krupp gun exhibited at the Chicago World's fair. It will throw a shell weighing 2,500 pounda a distance of sixteen miles. A process was tesled al Mollne , 111. , re cently which seems destined to revolutionize both the fuo. business and the present mode of disposing of garbage , lly It , gcinulno hard ccal and gas , ammonia , tar , etc. , are pro duced from either soft coal or any waste vegetable product. The Inventor , Charles W. Smith , recently of Minneapolis , refuses to divulge the secret of his process , but has given , Iii the presence of the city officials and professional men , a number of tests which seem to substantiate all his claims. Another great Increase In pig Iron produc tion In the United States has been mode , and this time all records are broken. Ac cording lo the Iron Age's figures , the weekly capacity of the furnaces In operation at the beginning of December was 220,024 tons , nti Increase of 13,000 tons during November. The h'ghesl capacity heretofore of the furnaces la blast was that of November 1 , 1895 , 217,300 tons , or about 9,000 tons ICES than the weekly output of thcHC In operation at the beginning of the present month. Following up the verdict In the court or Judge Clifford In Chicago , November IS , awarding damages against the Chicago & Northwestern railway to Fred U. Ketcham In the sum of $21,600 because of blacklisting , there was filed In the district court at Ogden , Utah , on the 3d , the complaint of Jolm O'Hara against the Oregon Short Line rail road and the receivers of the Unlca Pacific company , claiming damages to the amount of $30,000. It Is said that abiut thlrly oases will be Instituted at Ogdcn on the same basis. The new law In regard'to the err.oloyment of child labor In the stale of Indiana , re cently put in force , has already wrought a great change there In such employment , especially among the glass factories , where a good many boys under the proscribed age were formerly kepi at work. State Factory Inspector McAbcc , who has finished a tour of iiuoccllcn through the glass-making towns , reports that he found only fifty children em ployed , against about 800 a year ago , and in every Instance It was explained to him thai the boy was the only support of a widowed mother. It Is the tendency of all manufacturing In dustries lo draw closer to the supplies or law material , says Iho Now Orleans Picayune. In this age of close competition no industry can afford to pay for unnecessary transporta tion or unavoidable handling and commissions. In obedience to this rule Ibe cotton mills are seeking the cotton fields , and so very pro nounced has this tendency become that every body now admits that before many years go by the south will conlrol Ihc cotton manufactur ing of llie'counlry and will be exporting every class of cotton goods to all parts of the world. Tbo business of the Erie canal.during the season closed a few weeks ago has been a dis appointment to the friends of Iho canal. There was an Immense harvest In the west and prices were good , but , despite all the favora ble conditions , the grain shipments of 1897 aggregated only 23,848,021 bushels , as com pared with 35,868,996 In 1896. falling off 12- 020,375 bushels In ono year. The clearances of canal boats from Buffalo show a correspond ing decrease. In 1896 the number of boats cleared was fi,876. This year It was 4,609 , or the cmallest known since the abolition of tolls on the canals. The railroads have more than gained what the canals have lost. American paper makers will bo Interested to learn the result of the Investigation made by the New York Sun's London correspondent Into the rumor that many depirtmcnts of the British government were using paper made In the United States. The Sun's observer was at flrot Inclined to discredit the story , but fuller Inquiry confirms It. American writing paper Is actually In use to the extent that all de partments employ out typewriting paper. Says the Sun's dispatch ; "Her majesty's ta- tlonery offlro , which supplies all the depart ments , allows common aonao to take prece dence over patriotism.

She went Into the liouse , and , returning with a rlllc , bade the Mils imp to descend. He refused nnd she shot him through the head , and ho rolled from the steep roof n corpse nt her feet.

But to iclurn to the Yocum faintly. They moved Into the place Inn years ago , Onu day , as licretofoto related , the father nnd two sons were .shocking corn near the house , nnd something llko ix largo red comfort came through the weatherboardlng and flapped In the. nir nnd would then go back through the planks. This happened several tlines , and always In daylight , and ou the 5lde of the hoUKo whore there was no window or oven n crack In the planks. Whllo the blood-red objccl could bo seen by the men at work In the field nnd by neighbors , no ono nt thp house was o\er nhlc to see anything unusual. About the snmc llmo. bul nl night , chairs began to buniii or walk across the floor. The upshot of It was that the Yocums moved out and got ns far away from the place as possible , going to the ex treme end of the county. Then "Undo Billy" Ovcrstrecl. who lived In the nelqhbor- hood , bought the log or kitchen part of the old tnvsrn , tore It down , and out of the timber built himself n domicile , nnd from that day his troubles commenced. One night Undo Billy left Uils place to go home. On the way out ho met 1,000 cxltlo : being driven by a neighbor who had long been dead. Ho halloaed to him , but no at- tenthMi was i ; > ld to the call , except tint tha ghoslly herder rode within three feet of him , alared Into his face , and passed on. "Undo Billy" says this did not scare him nuit'.i , but admits that ho did krtp a sharp lookout to prevent being surrounded by the cattle. For two months after this the old man < il- wajs managed lo get Into the house before sundown. But ono night he wan nRxiln dc- la > cd In town , and icachcd his gate nt 9 o'clock , and was raising the latch , when something gripped him on the shoulder from behind.

After being "walked" all over the country the old man was shoved Into a sink hole and lay there till daylight. Ho then crawled out , made hla way to a neighbor's , nnd told his harrowing experience.

Yet , In uplto of their widespread use , snja the Phlhdelphla Times , II Is an astonishing fart that none of us have ever seen ourselves as olhe-rs sco us. In the first place , the reflection In the mirror does not portray our likeness with any attempt at accuracy. The hair Is wrong In tone , the eyes are not correct In color , and our complexions are hopelessly libeled by this specious household deceiver. It Is cer tain that if the looking glasses spoke the truth Iho sale of various complexion washes would decrease to half , for any fair skin looks gray and pallid In Iho glnes , nnd numbers of women who have splendid complexions ruin them by trying lo Improve them be cause they look bad In the mirror. You may be certain that however plain your face seems , it Is by no means BO plain as It ap pears in the tell-tale mirror. Secondly , you cannot assume your natural expression whllo peering In the looking glass. The cyo must bo in a certain position before you can sco at all , and the eye , so far ns the expression Is concerned , governs the faco.
