DINING IN NEW YORK
Epicurean Attractions Second to None
. at St. Regis Hotel
A STUDY IN GASTRONOMY
Matthew Arnold, In a lecture before Lon
don medical atudenta, laid special stress
upon what he was pleased to call "esthetic
aids to appetite Such aa agreeable sur
roundings, a well-appointed table and good
cooking." Aa good digestion depends large
ly upon a good appetite, and as success
and happiness In life is more often than
most of ua admit the result of good di
gestion, the selection of a dining establish
ment Is most Important.
New York City haa many famous halls
for feasting, which in a greater or less de
gree offer the trio of desirable qualities
above referred to, but none so completely
meets these appetising requirements as the
Hotel St. Regis. Here one will Invaribly
find congenial environment, faultless
tables and tempting viands, with a refined,
homelike atmosphere which la too often
lacking In public dining halls. Here "the
spirit of the fireside" predominates, yet
with a beauty and luxury such as few
private houses can boast. Many noted
foreigners have dined at the Bt. Regis,
scores of Influential Americans dally take
their meals in this most sumptuous of din
ing rooms. And who shall say that many
Cf the recent great achlevementa and suc
cesses In business, finance and diplomacy
are- not directly traceable to the ethetlc
and epicurean perfection of the St. Regis,

FLAWS IN PRIMARY LAW
Consensus of Opinion First Trial De
velops Several Weak Points.
SCHOOL ELECTION IN MARCH
Ceaaty Namlaating; Primaries Held
Jaao Second and Nominating;
Tapers Plied Thirty Days
Previous to That.
That there are many apparent defects In
the new primary election Ibw, at least as
far as It applies to a city nominating elec
tion. Is the general opinion. That the lar Is
defective. It Is claimed, was plainly demon
strated at the primary election last Mon
day. City Solicitor Kimball expressed the
following opinion relative to the seeming
defect In the law, which la .shared by a
great many there. He said:
"The law In my opinion does not do
away with tha Interference of voters of
on party with the prlmarle of the other.
Another thing I believe. Is that the names
of all candidates should be printed on the
ballot. The vote on ward councllmen dem
onstrate this need. No (ticker or writing
In of name should be required. Such a
system Is confusing to the ordinary voter
and naturally results in the spoiling of a
large number of ballots. There ought to be
some way whereby no known democrat
could vote for a republican candidate at
a nominating primary or a republican vote
for a democrat."
The school election Is slated for Monday,
March 9, and both parties. It Is understood,
will hold mass meetings some day next
week to name their candidates for two
members of tbe Board of Education and
treasurer of the school district.
Following the school election will be the
republican and democratic city conventions,
which will both be held on Saturday, March
14. As both parties nominated a complete
ticket at the primary, there will be noth
ing for the conventions to do except frame
a platform for their respective candidates
to make the campaign on. The city elec
tion will be held Monday, March 7).

Gypsies Likely to Move.
Indications last evening were that the
residents In the western part of the city
shortly would be rid of the band of gypsies
which has camped for some time west of
Thirty-seventh street and north of Avenue
A. . Justice Cooper yesterday decided to
hold George Mitchell, the head man of the
band, under a $200 bond on the charge of
maintaining a nuisance, but dismissed the
case as to Costello, who was Included in
the Information filed by County Attorney
Hess. As a result of Justice Cooper's deci
sion it was stated last evening that the
gypsies had decided to fold their tents and
seek some other location.
Justice Cooper, who, before deciding the
case, made a personal Inspection of tho
camp, satisfied himself that the charges
made against the gypsies had ample found
ation. He found that the habits and cus
toms of the nomads were not such as pre
vailed In decent society and that they evi
dently were not acquainted with the usual
proprieties of civilised life.
Creek Need Drraglna; Again.
The patron saint of Indian creek, alias
Councilman Thomas Maloney, announced
yesterday that he Intended bringing up the
matter of redredglng the creek at the meet
ing of the city council next Monday night.
Mr. Maloney .will suggest that the dredge
which did such excellent work during 1908
be placed In commission again as early In
the spring as weather conditions will per
mit. In the Interval since the creek waa
deepened and widened considerable sedi
ment has accumulated and Mr. Maloney
believes this should be removed so that a
free flow to the river may be assured In
times of heavy rain. The dredge, which
was leased to Contractor Wlckham, has
been returned and Is now stored.

sale of binder twine, was agalnvt public
policy and In direct violation of the federal
statutes and the statutes of Iowa, In which
state the contract was to be performed,
and that no recovery can be made upon
such contract.
In Its cross-petition the Bradley company
sues for damages In the sum of $2,000 upon
the allegation that it business was In
jured to a considerable extent by putting
on the market the Peoria twine, which Is
alleged to have been of Inferior quality, al
though warranted to be first-class. It Is also
alleged that the Peoria company violated
the agreement that no firm other than
the Bradley company should sell the binder
twine within a certain prescribed territory.
Because her husband, she alleges, "upon
divers occasions Indulged in a copious flow
of profane objuration" towards her, Mrs.
Rose Randell wants a divorce from Harry
Earl Randell, to whom she was married in
December, 1902, at Klrkman, Ia. She also

AFTER BIG CONVENTIONS
Dei Moines Wants Berkshire and
American Breeding Associations.
HELPFUL TO AGRICULTURISTS
Supremo Court Decision on Assess
ment of Bank Stock Haa Caused
No End of Troubl for tho
Assessors.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Feb. 27. (Special.)-Plana
are being made to boost the breeding of
pure bred stock by aecurlng the conven
tions of two of the biggest associations In
the country for next year. At the recent
meeting of the directors of the Department
of Agriculture resolutions were passed In
viting the National Berkshire Breeders'
association and the American Breeding as
sociation to hold their next annual conven
tion In this city. The Berkshire Breed
ers' association Is In session at this time
in Nashville, Tenn., and yesterday, the
Commercial club of thla city and the city
officials and other, telegraphed the as
sociation, Joining In the Invitation of the
State Board of Agriculture.
The National Berkshire association la a
big association, and Ita coming to Iowa
for a convention, where more hogs are
raised than In any other state, would be
a big boost for the Berkshire breeding
business. Those Informed, say that wher
ever auch a convention Is held there la
alwaya a noticeable awakening and Increase
In the number of people tho take to that
kind of stock.
But the American Breeding association
Is still bigger. The secretary of this latter
association Is Assistant Secretary of Ag
riculture Hayes of Washington, D. C. This
association doe not devote itself to any
one breed of animals, but takes In all
animals and all plants of agricultural
worth. It is an association of the greatest
agricultural breeder of all kinds of agri
cultural animals and plants, and includes
In Its membership scientists also. Prof.
Kennedy of the State Agricultural college
at Ames, recently appeared before the as
sociation when It met In Washington, D. C,
and told of the plans to breed a new draft
horse at the college.
The coming of the association to this
city would bring many persons of great
ability. The purpose of the association
Is not only to Improve the breeds of agri
cultural animals and plants, but also, to
encourage more farmers to put their ef
forts on pure-blood stock both cf plant and
animals as the most remunerative and
profitable. It Is In the hope of benefiting
Iowa farmers In this regard that effort
are now being made to bring these asso
ciations to Iowa for the next annual con
vention. Ice Gorge Checked,
The lea gorge In the Raccoon river at
this place, which has been threatening much
property with destruction, did not break
last night as had been expected, because
the weather turned colder and the Ice froxe
hard'-r. There Is now no Immediate danger
while the weather remains cold, and the
city officials have hopes that they will bo
able to break up the gorge with dynamite
or powder so as to let the ice out without
any dangerous rush.
Opinion on Bonds.
With the arrival ot the season for assess
ing property, Inquiries are reaching the
attorney general' ofcflca for an opinion on
the assessment of national bank stock.
Iowa has been upset by court decisions.
The state law provides for the assessment
of the stock of state and savings banks to
the bank and not to the stockholder. The
banki Invested their capital In government
bonds and then claimed that an assessment
f the capital stock t as taxation of govern
ment bonds. The case was carried through
the United States supreme court, which held
with the banks, the court being divided.
Now the national banks claim that a
taxation of their capital stock Is a taxation
of government bonds. It Is believed that
Attorney General Byer will hold that It Is
not, for the reason that in the case of na
tional banks the assessment is against the
atoekholder and not agalnct the bank. The
national banks of the state undoubtedly
will contest the matter In the courts, and
one case has already been taken through
tho district court of this county and Judge
Howe decided .for the national banks.
Two New Banks.
The state auditor's office has authorised
the incorporation of the Security Savings
bank at Cedar Falls and the reincorpora
tions of the State bank of Bloomfleld at
Bloomfield.
Fayette Divide.
Fayette county divided Its delegates to
the first state convention. The 'Cummins
people got eleven and the standpatters five.
A resolution in favor of ex-Governor Larra
bee, who resides In that county, for delo-gate-at-large
to the national convention,
was defeated In the committee on resolu
tions. Fayette ordinarily Is progressive.
; Dei Moines Kara Hlt.
In the Interstate Commerce commission
healing here today the representatives of
the city attempted to show that Des Moines
has gotten the worst of It steadily on both
the In and out rates. Furthermore an at
tempt was trade to show that the competi
tion with water transportation Is a fallacy.
The railroads claimed they- were compelled
to give better rates to Omaha and St. Paul
and St. Louis and Kansas City because
these towns were on waterways. The city's
representatives made the claim that the
lines of water transportation are owned by
the same concerns that own the railroads
and that there Is, therefore, no competition
at all.
Ball Franchise Switched.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the stockhold
ers of the Des Moines Base Ball associa
tion was held, at which time the transfer
of ownership was made from M. E. Can
tlllon to John F. Hlgglns.
Are After Sillier.
Polk covnty democrats will meet in Judge
McHenry's court room in the court house
Saturday next at 2 o'clock for the purpose
of selecting del. gates to the state conven
tion at Cedar Rapids. At present the Biyan
men are alert and propose to select dele
gates who will be for Bryan, but who will
also be against Chairman C. W. Miller of
the state central committee.
