On May 1st the contractors finish
ed the steel bridge across the Des
Moines river, four miles west of
Boone, and by May 10th trains will
be running. The center span, which
presents the most difficult engineer
ing obstacle to be overcome of the
entire structure, will be suspended
over the main channel of the river
at the height of one hundred and
eighty-five feet from low water to
the top of the rails on the bridge.
It will sustain two trains each one
one drawn by a seventy-fivy ton lo
comotive running in opposite direc
tions at a speed of fifty miles an
hour. The length of the structure
from bluff to bluff on either side of
the river is twenty-six hundred and
eighty-five feet, and is the longest
and highest bridge in the world
having a double track. When com
pleted and ready for traffic there
will be six thousand tons of steel in
the structure, and it will have cost
$000,000.00. It will shorten the dis
tance from Boone to Ogden three
miles and make a net saving of sev
en miles of trackage between these
two points.

i. E. T. Party.
Saturday evening at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hunt, in West
Kxira, occuired a party given by
the G. E. T. Club. Mrs. Lillie Hunt
acting as hostess.
High five and crokinole were the
games of the evening. These games
are ones that are used so much tor
the entertainment of young people,
but seems to never grow old. Each
time that they are played there
seems to be a new charm—a new
attraction or fascination about
these games that sheds abroad a
pleasure that beams out radiant 011
the faces of the participants.
After the evening was well spent
and the arrival of another day was
drawing near, a dainty lunch was
served. While partaking of this
a number of papers were read by
the members of the G. E. T. club.
Miss Flossie McAtinich delivered
an excellent paper on the advance
ment of their club. She showed
how it had made rapid advances
since its organization of two years
ago.
Miss Nettie Sickles read a paper
of the initiation of the members ad
mitted into the club. This ordeal
is very trying as you must pass by
sharp obstacles and you do not
know where you are going, as your
eyes are blindfolded. Then some
times to add to the discomfort of
this a lantern is thrust into your
face, which has been known to burn
the nose of one member that was
taken in.
Miss Martha Bruner read a paper
011 the future of the girls of the G.
E. T. Of some the future was
prophesied to be bright and others
their way through lite was to be
dark and gloomy.

Sale of Leyland. Line.
London, May 1.—The Leyland line
deal provokes unusual discussion in 'the
English papers, which reveals the ex
istence of not a little apprehension as
to the possibility of the United States
dominating the Atlantic carrying trade.
The general impression, however, is
that the transfer is connected with the
probable passage by the United States
senate of a subsidy hill. It is consid
ered that Ihe terms of the transfer are
so profitable to the Leyland people that
there could he 110 question of their
acceptance and that other shipping
companies would gladly sell on the
same terms.
Control of the Overland Route.
New York, May 1.—The Evening
Post, discussing Union Pacific affairs,
says:
"It is believed in Wall street today
that the contest for control of the
Union Pacific property, which has
been for some time In progress, with
a resultant advance of 27 points in the
last two weeks, has been virtually
ended by the success of one of the com
peting bidders. It was generally ac
cepted that the Vanderbilt interest
was the successful purchaser.

They were newly married and were
calling upon one of the friends of the
bride who had been particularly pleas
ant upon the occasion of their wedding.
The bridegroom, apropos of nothing,
began to talk about phrenology and
told how his wife had discovered two
very prominent bumps on the Jiack of
his head. He was proud of thc-.n. So
was she, and she passed him around
that the host and hostess might feel
the bumps and know of their exist
ence. Then she explained:
"My book on phrenology says that
they mean good memory and generos
ity."
It was evident that she was proud of
the facts, and so was he. But the host,
being of an inquiring tnrn of mind,
wished to satisfy himself, so he got
down a phrenological work from one
of his library shelves and after much
labor found the bumps on the chart.
Turning to the notes, he read, seriously,
at first, then unsteadily. The bride be
came suspicions, but she was game and
said:
"Read it out loud. Please do!" And
the host read:
"These bumps are most frequently
found on cats and monkeys."
Other topics consumed the remainder
of the visit, which was brief.—New
York Sun.
Swells "With Swell Chests.
"I had occasion to examine two
brothers who had applied for policies
in our company the other day," said
the medical examiner of a life insur
ance company. "One was 35 years
old and the other was 33. They are
both unmarried and are known about
town as pretty gay boys. Usually
there is considerable attached to writ
ing policies for men who are known
as 'rounders,' but these two proved to
be perfect specimens of physical man
hood.
"I was particularly Impressed by
their chest developments. They both
had the same measurement and also
the same expansion—from 39 to 43.
When I found that they had smoked
cigarettes from boyhood, I wondered
all the more at the four inch expan
sion. Then they told me that when
they were youngsters they used to
delight In seeing how long they could
hold their breath under water. Every
time they took a bath In the tub one
would take a deep breath, duck under,
and the other would time him with a
watch. A minute and a half, I be
lieve, was the limit of their endurance.
They said it was all their mother could
do to get them out of the bath and
drive them to bed."—Philadelphia Rec

"Tom," said a father to bis son
whose school report showed him to
have been an idle young scamp, "what
have you been studying this term?"
"Logic, father," replied Tom. "I can
prove you are not here now."
"Indeed! How so?"
"Well, you must be either at Rome
or elsewhere?"
"Certainly."
"You are not at Rome?"
"No."
"Then you must be elsewhere."
"Just so."
"And if you are elsewhere you clear
ly can't be here."
For answer the father took up a cane
that lay near and laid it smartly across
his son's back.
"Don't!" cried Tom. "You are hurt
lug me."
"Not at all. You have just proved
conclusively that I am not here, so I
can't be hurting you."
Before his stern parent had quite
done with him Tom felt that there
must be after all a flaw somewhere in
his logic.—London Tit-Bits.
An Early Riser.
"Pat," said a manager to one of his
workmen, "you must be an early riser.

"Indade and Ol am, sor. It's a fam

"Then your father was an early riser

"Me father, is It? He roises that ear

he'd meet himself gettin up in the

A R&belalA Hoax.
Rabelais, being out of money, once
tricked the police into taking him from
Marseilles to Paris on a charge of trea
son. He made up some packages of
brick dust and labeled tliem "Poison
for the royal family." The officers
took Rabelais 700 miles, only to be
told at the end of their journey that it
was April 1 and the affair was a hoax.
Of course, as Rabelais was the priv
ileged wit of the royal family, he was
forgiven.
