Here is a thought that strikes ihe Chicago Inter-Ocean in connection Huiuored riuni of A Northern. There are rumors afloat in railroad circles to the effect that the Burlington, Cedar Rapids Northern road, which is the only line that did any railroad building in Iowa last year, contemplates the construction of several more road this year. It is said that the company will first complete-a line from Armstrong, in Emmett county, to Estherville, a distance of-about twenty miles, in order to fulfill its plans of last season, and that it will then commence work on a line into Sioux City which it has had under contemplation for some time. This will necessitate the building of about ICO miles of road, and is a line which has been partiallj surveyed for several years. Railroad men say that Burlington officials have already been over a considerable part of tfie route examining the feasibility of the line preparatory to putting party in the field, and that they are favor ably impressed with the prospect.

It is generally conceded that such a line is the most probable of construction of any railroad enterprise under contemplation in Iowa. The country from Humboldt to Storm Lake or Cherokee is as good as there is in the line would run through the heart of a district from ten to twenty miles wide which is wholly without railroads, while west from these points it would pass through an almost exclusive territory until it reached Sioux City. The building of the road would give Sioux City not only another Chicago line, but also direct connections with St. Louis, Minneapolis and St. Paul, into which latter cities the road runs trains from Burlington and Albert Lea over eased tracks.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES The Ql'jects of tbe Society us Given in Annual XSfport. Advance proofs of the annual report of the Associated Charities which will be published shortly were seen by a LEADER representative today. Almost two hundred people have contributed to the work of the society during the year. The objects of the society are given as follows: 1. To secure ihebarmoniousaction of the various charities in Davenport.

2. To the needy above the need of relief: to encourage thrift: to k. prevent begging and imposition. 3. To prevent children from growing up as paupers.

4. To aid in the diffusion of knowledge on subjects connected with relief of the poor, 5. To provide that the case of every applicant for aid shall be investigated as far as possible. 0. To place the results of such investigation at the disposal of the superintendent of the poor, of charitable societies and of private persons of benevolence.

7. To interest the more favored and well-to-do neighbor iu his poorer brother and to establish personal friencilv relations between them.

It is possible that the Capital did not fairly represent Senator HipwelTs bill requiring telegraph offices in cities of 10,000 and over to be kept open all night.

Senator Hipwell had no personal grievance against the telegraph company, but he calls attention to the fact that if a telegram were filed in Des Moines, addressed to a person Davenport, at the hour of 9 o'clock at night, the message would not be delivered until the next although the company would collect the full day rate. The telegraphic message sent from Des at 9 p. m. and a letter mailed at Des Moines at 11:30 the same night would reach the person in Davenport to whom they are addressed, the next morn ing aboat the same hour. Recently.

Senator Hipwell heard of a man who wanted to send a night message out of Davenport very badlr.but he was unable to do so though he tried all of the railroad offices in addition to the regular Western Union office. The man being disappointed iu Davenport, hired a carriage and drove to Rock Island and Moline at which places he met with better success than in Davenport. All the additional expense there would be in maintaining an all night office would be the hiring of an additional messenger boy. This additional expense would be very slight, while the advantages to the public would be very considerable. So it can be seen that a considerable argument can be made in behalf of Senator Hipvrell's Moines Capital.

Hood's Pills are the beat after din- her FUb digwtion, cure box Tiy Tbe Normal Svhool BUI-The Illll. A couple of measures now before tbe state legislature are of general interest to Daven porters. The first is the Bishop normal school bill, which as appeared in yesterday's telegraph columns, passed the state senate by a vote of 28 to 12. The bill sets out that there shall be annually appropriated the sum of $10,000 for the instruction of competent persons in the science and practice of common school teaching, under a course to be prescribed by the superintendent of public instruction, and that the state of public instruction shall designate the normal and high schools in which such instruction shall be given, distributing among the counties of the state, as nearly as may well be, having reference to the number of school districts in each, to location, and to the character of the institution selected. Every normal and high school so designated shall instruct a class of not less than ten nor more thirty scholars, and every scholar admitted to such class shall continue under instruction not less than sixteen weeks.

The state superintendent of public instruction shall prescribe the conditions of admission to the classes, the course of instruction, aod the rules and regulations under which said instruction shall be given, and shall in his discretion, determine the number of classes, which caay be formed in any one year, in any normal or high school, and the length of time exceeding sixteen weeks during which such instruction rnay be given. Instruction shall be free to al! scholars admitted to such classes. The second measure is the Rowea bill, the passage of which is advocated by the TV. C. T.

U. of Iowa. There is considerable opposition to the passage of the measure, and the reasons therefore, are stated by the Des Moines Capital in the following paragraph. "Curious to any reasons why the Howen bill to raise age of consent in females from lo to IS years, should not tho Capital has been led to inquire. The opponents of the bill say that girls at 33 are as fully developed as boys at 18.

and that girJs in vast numbers are in resorts long before they are I that they could come out and send young men by the score to the penitentiary if the Rowen bill passes. They also urge that girls are often to blame in a large degree iu cases of seduction by bovs. Thev also that the public has only in mind the seduction of girls bv mature men. and in looking at the matter from that standpoint the public desires to raise the age of consent to IS years. One opponent of the Bowon bill says boys need protection as well as aud that every time some bov is led into wrong-doing bv a wav-ward girl she could send him to Fort Madison, though she might hare been equally responsible in the matter.

The Rotr- ea bill will evidently have opppnents when the time coiner, and there may be an. important debate ou a most delicate subject, involving ethics, morals, legal rights, etc." FOU YOUK COLD. The Pharmaceutical Era tells of gve ways to cure a cold: 1. Bathe the feet in hot water aud take a pint of hot lemonade. Then sponge with salt water and remain iu a warm room.

2. Bathe the face in very hot water every five minutes for au hour. 3. Snuff up the nostrils hof salt water every three hours. 4.

Inhale ammonia or menthol. 5. Take four hours' active exercise in the air. A ten-grain dose of quinine will usually break up a cold in the beginning. Anything that will set the blood in active circulation will do it, whether it be drugs or the use of a bucksaw.

Try the above, and if you're not cured after patiently testing the remedies, you will be dead, and in either case out of pain. CHURCH A writer in the Boston Transcript has discovered that church sleepiness is to be explained on scientific principles. It is, in fact-, a condition of hypnotism, and far from indicating inattention to the sermon shows rather complete absorption by it Fixing one's mind on tho voice of the minister in the otherwise complete silence of the audieaeo room produces just the condition necessary to domination by another's mind, aud the nodding head and drooping, heavy eyelids are not eloquent the preachers dullness, but rather mute testimonials of his powerful influence. Thus, oue by one, are hoary traditions fading away before tho searching light of science. The 2,000 Mile Tickets uiid Gin in Ituto War.

If there is any one that appreciates the modification of the weather it is the operatives ou the freight trains. It is stated that from three to five trains of stock from the C. E. that used to go over the Eock and, are now delivered at Cedar Kap- ids to the Northwestern to gain time, which it is said is possible over the latter's double track. Western lines have protected themselves on through rates in view of the eastern reductions in Krain rates by repeating their plan adopted during the December rate war.

This was to redistrict the territory in such a way as to give western" lines practically the same revenue as under the 25- cent basis. Eailway lines in this and the western parts of the slates are doing a heavy business in the shipment of fuel. Merchants did not order the usual large supply last fall, expecting a mild winter. The recent extreme cold and a sudden and forcible de- inatfd for fuel has necessitated the orders for coal by quick shipment. The grain rate war, confined strictly to lines extending from points east and west on the Missouri river, is still being agitated in railway circles in (Chicago.

During the past month shipments east from Chicago have been greatly decreased over that of the previous month, while western traffic in this line has been heavier than for many months past. The questions now in vogue are instigated by roads leading from Missouri points. The patronage received was principally from extreme western localities. Iowa roaHs contend that the rate now charged by them is hardly profitable to the sasall trade financial depression has From aii indications it is evident the IOIVR rate tvill be enforced on the roads uow making the lower charge. Tbe general western passenger agents have recommended to their general managers that on and after April 1, ihe of 2.000-mile tickets at $50.

with a rebate of making a net rate of 2 cents per mile, be abolished, and as a substitute that LOGO-mile tickets be sold at coats per mile, and made good so that ono or more persons mar use tickois upon the same train. Should I his recommendation be adopted, it will be one of the i a rate changes in the history of the association, it will pracrieaiiy put everyone on an equality in traveling, the occasional passenger being justified in buying a 1.000-mile ticket in view of the fact that the balance of his ticket can be used by any oue and is consequently salable at the original rale. The adoption of the plan will do awav with the objections of country men-hauls. Further evidence of the seriousness with which the Rock Island road views the central depot project says the Rock Island Argus, have become manifest the upper end of town in the past few days, and while these movements have been quitely made, they are uo less significant and iu earnest. It behooves our citizens to bestir themselves if they would accomplish the removal of the Eock Island depot now, aud than this there can be no better time.

Emory Hoover, formerly of Rock Island, and son of George W. Hoover of that city met with an unfortunate accident at Joliet last Friday night. He is a conductor on the Santa Fe road, running between Chillicothe, and Galesburg, though his runs sotue times take him on to Joliet. This was the case Friday night, and while making a coupling, oue of his legs was caught and crushed so that amputation was necessary. Mr.

Hoover's home is at Chillicothe The conductor of a Northwestern train entered a barber shop last night and found his brakeman was being shaved. He offered a quarter and it was accepted if the barber would only shave one side of his face aud turn him out. He did so, but. the brakeman entered another chair and another barber completed the tonsorial act. The joke appeared to be on the conductor.

COUNTY RECORDERS. The state senate having fixed a limitation upon the salary to be received by sheriffs, took a turn at the county recorders yesterday. Tbe bill passed provides that all fees 5u excess of $1,500 collected by county recorders shall be by them paid into the county treasury, and make quarterly reports under oath to the board of supervisors of fees collected. -The recorders may employ such deputies as the board may deem necessary, but in no case can the amount expended for compensation of deputies exceed the amount of fees covered into the treasury by the recorder.

All day yesterday the ice in the weakening rapidly and a great many people expected that it would hare the goodness to move out today so that the curious might have plenty of time to witness the sight. The ice has often gone out on Sunday but this year it stole a march on the good people and at 7 o'clock last night started to move. It lodged at points near the bridge and piled up on the Rock Island shore in its usual manner but so far as known no particular damage was done.

From present indications the ferry should be running- in a few days. GAUESBURG MAT SKCUKE TYUXIAMS. A dispatch from Galesburg says: "The meeting tonight to consider the the proposition from C. W.

Finanlly as the closing days of the fair approached, the visitors were permitted to "swipe" all they desired.
