"The rampalga for a. straight t-eent

companying the petition waa a lengthy and
detailed statement of facta aa they ap

Wblle It Is realised tha the atreet rail
way company will not voluntarily accede
to the demand of the residents of tha west

ment claim to have another method of
attacking the atreet railway company, In

tended that when the federal government
granted - the Omaha Council Bluffs
Bridge Railway company a charter for
Its bridge across the Missouri liver it
reserved the light to congress to regulate
at any time charges to be made by the
comrsny for -passengers or freight across
the bridge.

the Fourth ward, prompted by a feeling
that tho unfortunates should be assisted

ductive beverage known as "Tom ant,
Jirry'v and -conveyed H ln person to ' the
city bastlle, with tho request that tha In
mates be permitted to enjoy It with their
dinner.
Tha serving of "Tom and Jerry," even at
Christmas time, waa so much of an inno
vation that Chief Richmond for a while
had to take the request of the statesman
from the Fourth ward under advlBement.
Councilman , Knudsen, however, entered
such an eloquent plea that Major Rich
mond decided to cast any scruples he might
have In the matter to. the winds, and the
"Tom and Jerry" served In tin pannikins
was a distinctive feature of the Christmas
dinner at the city Jail. Mrs. Brooks,

CHRISTMAS CE1.F.BRATIO IS l IET
Haa the Geaeral Aapearsvace of tha
Kakkalk Day.
Council Bluffs celebrated Christmas day
In a most sedate manner and, except for
the fact that tha saloons were open, there
was little to distinguish It from the Sab
bath day. After the rush of the busy
Christmas shopping week people evidently
were Inclined to take a day of rest end
but few persons were to be seen on the
streets at any time In the day.
Following the usual custom, there were
man family Christmas dinner parties and
social gatherings, but the public social
features were few and far between. In
the morning the services at the Eplscopnt
and Catholic churches were well at
tended. The Danish societies celebrated the day
with their usual entertainment an4 Christ
mas tree for the young folk at Danish
hall, the festivities concluding with a
dance.
At St. Bernard's hospital there was the
unual Christmas dinner and musical, en
tertainment for he patients, and at the
General hospital -there was a. Christmas
dinner for tha nurses, but the crowded
condition of the Institution precluded any
other form of entertainment.
At the Christian Home the 800 children
enjoyed a big Christmas dinner at noon
after which they were made happy with
the distribution of presents from an Im
mense Christmas tree.
There was one foot ball game and K
was between the Imperials of this city
snd the Belmonts of Omaha at the Ideal'
Hustlers' park for the 'lightweight" cham

DES MOINES, Dec. J6.-(8pecial.) Iowa
farmers this year raised a crop that Is
just tia.230.Ki7 better than the average
crop of the last seventeen year The total
value of the products of the soil In Iowa
this year was 8330.t96.12l, according to tha
annual report of Director John R. Sage,
and the average value of the crops for the
hurt seventeen years Is fU9.264.534. This
year's crop Is an Increase of over per
cent better than the average.
Furthermore, the value of the crop this
year Is more than that of any other crop
the state has ever raised, the next largest
being the crop of 19US, which was $J8,
K9.M less than that of this year.
Just how prosperous the farmers of Iowa
are at this time Is best learned by com
paring the reports of the state crop and
weather service for the years past. Tha
record beginning with 1890 is easily acces
sible in the reports. Here Is the total
value of the crops stretching over a period
of seventeen years:

the state Is that of 1901, when the total
value was 8274,080,9.10.
Start High School Meet Here.
One of the things to be decided at the
meeting of the State Teachers' association
here Is to determine how many high schools
of the state will enter the high school
meet to be held In this city. The high
school athletlo meet In the spring has been
held annually at Iowa City on the State
university grounds. There was some com
plaint, that high school boys were placed In
an environment that waa open to criticism
when the boys go to Iowa City. Conse
quently four years ago a light was started
to get the meet bete. Some of the big
high schools elected members of the Board
of Control pledged to put the meet here,
but It did not do It. Now the plan Is to
hate a meet here anyway, and high
schools may enter both meets. The high
schools In this city, Ida Grove, Grlnnell
and probably Marshalltown, the high
schools that have been prominent In ath
letics, have already agreed to come to this
city for the meet here.
' Joseph for President.
Frank D. Josephs of Manchester, la,,
county superintendent of schools of Dela
ware county, Is a' likely candidate for the
position of president of the county superin
tendents' section cf the Iowa State Teach
ers' association. Ha is an alumnus of Len
nox collage and a very popular man.
Would Protect Wholesaler.
A law protecting the wholesaler from tha
merchant who sells out his entire stock
with the view to defrauding is proposed by
J. . M. Callender, chairman of the- house
committee on manufactures at the lat ses
sion of the legislature. Mr. Callender as
serts that nine-tenths of this legislation in
Iowa thus far haa been in the Interests of
the farmers and the manufacturers and
wholesalers' interests have been neglected.
Twenty-nine states have laws that protect
merchants against the retailer selling out
.the stock and skipping with the money, but
Iowa has none and hence manufacturers
and wholesalers locate In other states. He
advocates the enactment of such a law In
Iowa.
Beef Prlees Aro r.
Prices of beef have been boosted to the
Board of Control. The state Institutions
of Iowa have been consuming abou' IDO.iOj
worth of meat every three months. When
the bids were opened for tha meat for the
first quarter of 1907 It was discovered that
some kinds of meat had been raised 60 per
cent. The board haa been getting a very
low price heretofore. The question that Is
agitating the board end the aunerlntend-
ents of state Institutions Is, should the

May Affeet Maay Saloons.
A derision of the supreme court In the
rase of an Oelweln saloonkeeper may af
fect hundreds of saloonkeepers In the
state and cause any number of them to
circulate new petitions of consent. The
featura of the court's derision that may
affect other saloonkeepers was not dis
covered at first In the opinion. In the case
of the Oelweln saloonkeeper an Injunction
was asked to restrain him from operating.
It was found that he had complied with
all the provisions of the law except one.
lie did not have the consent of a property
I owner who had bought the property within
the year. The court held that the consent
of a property owner did not hold after
the property changed hands. The court's
' decision reads
We do hold that the purchaser of prop,
erty from an owner who has consented to
the maintenance of a saloon within fifty
feet of his property does not take the
tropcrty subject to the consent previously
given by nis grantor, ana mat a new state-
, ment of ronaent signed by such purchaser
mutt be filed by the saloonkeeper at the
beginning cf the next tax year. To
hold that the consent (riven by the owner
of adiacent property is binding on the
property in the hands of a purchaser wl'b
notice, so that it continues effectual until
revoked by such purchaser, would be to
attach a condition or burden on the owner
ship of the property, following it into the
hands of a purchaser, snd this, we think,
is not within the contemplation of th.
statute. The purchaser acquires the prop
erty free from any Impediment on account
of the consent given by the previous ownei,
snd when It aaaln becomes necessary for
the saloonkeeper, at the beginning of a
tax year, to file the consent of owner,
of property within fifty feet of the pile,
of business, he must have tbe consent ot
the purchaser.

NATURE'S PATENT - OFFICE
Sotable IaveatloaAQtased
on
tbe
Principles of tie ttooisB
I ' s i. '
Body.
So fearfully and wondef?u:iy the human
body made that scientists are beginning to
realize that many of the inventions of th
day are Infringements on Nature's patent
office. A good deal of trouble and worry
In the past could have been avoided had
Inventors made a careful study of the de
vices employed In malting these human
bodies of ours the useful things they are.
The principles of the block and pulley or
tha tackle could have been discovered ages
before hud the files of Nature's patent office
been ransacked; for there are several com
plete pulleys In the body, notably the one
which moves the eyeball Inward toward tha
nose.
Engineers made exhaustive tee's and ex
periments before they discovered that a
hollow shaft or rod of iron or steel is
about twice as strong as a solid one. Tet
Nature had patented this device In our
bonea since the birth of Adam and Eve,
and every Important bone Is practically
constructed on this principle. The ball and
socket of the hip bonea were the fore
runner of the modern bsll-bearlngs, and
it was the first automatic, oiling machine
used In the world. The' valve or air pres
sure and a vacuum was unknown to man
until the last century, , but every one of
us carried the secret In. the air-tight hip
joint which Nature had. designed to lessen
tha muscular effort to- bold our legs up
right In position.
Engineers have made wonderful progress
In developing compound suction and circu
lar pumps; -but all of the principles con
tained In them are found In the heart,
and this little pumplruf machine Is still
without a rival In the mechanical world.
Nature had patented nearly every one of
the devices which have since been regis
tered at Washington. '
The princlpbs of the safety valve for
steam engines are not so new as they seem.
Our human bodies carry with them the first
automatio safety valves ever designed.
There are upward of 500,00 of them.
We call ' them by the common name
of sweat glands. Each such little gland
has a safety valve which Irts off heat from
the body when It gets beyond a safe tem
perature. We cannot stand rise of more
than eight to ten degrees of temperature
and live. If, therefore, the 600.000 safety
valves were ckBe,i for twenty-four houia
death would supervene.
Adam's apple was the first storage cis
tern ever built, and It works with auto
matic regularity through health and sick
ness. It is a roust Important organ of the
body, although for centuries It was con
sidered a superfluous attachment. It regu
lates the flow of blood between the heart
and the brain. When It ceases to operate,
somebody dls of apoplexy or a rush of
I blood to the brain. When the heart sends
! up too much blood to the head, the Adam's
apple steps In to check the flow and store
It up for future emergencies. If the heart
Is temporarily weakened or put out of
; good running order, the blood stored In
this cistern Is given up and sent to ths
; brain. Tba perfect working of this device
! is apparent when we consider how com
paratively few die of rush of blood to the
brain or from a deficiency of supply
The eye has a score of small Inventions
worthy of recording, the ear neariy as
many mere, and the vital organs an equal
number. Tin-re Is tha liver with Its quar
antine station. Let any poisons enter our
system with food, and they are Immediately
held up at this quarantine station and
di iroed by a Secret ' process. It Is only
when poisons entor In large quantltl. that
tha station cannot handle them.
But tha utomach co-operates with tha
! liver and Intercepts soma of the poisons.
i There are small machines there which mao-
ufactura minute quantities of hydrochloric
I acid from tha salts eaten. This acid la
made la exact prvpvrtWs to tUa amount

Commencing December 16, 1906.

Drawing-room and Compartment may be occupied en suite a par
ticularly desirable arrangement for family use.
Entire Observation Car given over to pleasure and entertainment
of food consumed, and suffices to destroy
tiie microbes which we swallow. But there
is even a third quarantine station located
In the mouth. Millions of microbes are
destroyed in the mouth dally by the juices
elaborated there for this very purpose. If
it was not for these three quarantine sta
tions working; continuously rtight and day
we should be killed off by microbes within
an hour after eating a meal.
In the ear there is a little device which
might have beeu the original of our modern
compressed air Inventions. .The delicate
drum of the ear must have an equal pres
sure from the outside and inside to receive
and transmit the sound vibrations. To
make this possible the eustachian tube
was -devised. Its function Is to regulate
the air pressure Inside the ear. Let It
fall to work and one becomes stone deaf.
In the bones of the head there are many
little channels hollowed out which are
called the semicircular canals. These ca
nals are filled with fluid lymph. For cen
turies no one could understand their mean
j Ing. Some physicians considered them of
no ure. This tendency to belittle organs
In the human body whose functions could
not be explained has characterised more
, than one generation of savants. Now these
i peculiar semicircular canals are known to
! be wonderful little devices to assist us In
I keeping our balance. They act a good deal
as the ballast does on a ship, or, more
' properly speaking, like the fluid in a spirit
' level. The brain keeps an eye on this
spirit level and la made conscious of the
1 body's relative position. Tbe fluid flows

STRENGTH OF FATHER'S LOVE
Braved a Fierce Bllasard at Sea ta
Briar Doetor to Dying
on.
While northeast bllxxard waa raging
on the coast of Maine little Alfred Domex
lay dying on Eagle Island, fourteen mile;
out at sea.
The small chap's father and mother, the
only persons beside himself on the Island
felt that if he could have a physician per
haps his life might " be saved. Between
them and the main land, relates the New
York World, there fell a blinding snow,
swept by the Icy nor'eaater, but moved
by love for his 0-year-old boy Anionic
Gomes, tbe father, determined to get t.
Portland and bring back a doctor, m
matter what the haxard.
Gomes la a frail little man, a Spaniard,
and for many yea-s has been caretaker
of the home on Eagle island of Commande
Peary, the arctlo navigator. A small motcr
boat is used to connect the mainland, an
la this Gomes set' out on the stormy sea.
The tiny craft mounted high on a giant
billow, and waa lost to view in the foam
and snow.
Gomes was hardly out of sight of tha
flag thst floated over his cabin, union
down, aa a elgnal of distress, when his
engine became disabled. Forced back by

struck upon a reef, wsa,ca paired and Go
mes was thrown into the sea,
Tha boat was smashed Into I kindling
wood, and tha shipwrecked man's only hopa
lay In getting back to the island. He was
washed on the beach, where he lay, ex
hausted and numts-oovered wltb Icy spray.
The moment the plucky ' little man waa
on his feet, he ran for his dory, and once
more set out for Portland, this time pro
pelled by oars. It was a heartbreaking;
row In the face of the storm, which frose
his wet clothing on his thin body and
blinded him so that he was ever In terror
hat he had lost his direction, but ha pulled
on.
It waa now night, and it was blackness
when the dory drew )owly up to one of
.he docks there, the oars barely moving in
he thole-pins.
Gomes was so wearied and benumbod
that is was necessary to lift him from
his ice-encased boat, and an examination
bowed that his feet and hands were badly
roet bitten.
The doctor was found, a large boat
manned, and the return trip to the island
julckly made. Small Alfred had died
while his father was tossed about upon tha
cean. Gomes sent this message1 on a
postal card to Mrs. Peary at Washington:
Alfrid, he go heaven, my boy.
Goodbye.
