Venerable Pioneer Statesman and
Civil War Commander Honored
by Gentry of Great State
of Iowa.
•vi Bes Moines, Oct. 9.—Gen. Cyrus
Bussey, venerable pioneer statesman
and commander during the civil war,
received, a grand compliment at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Isaac L.
Hillis, when the gentry of the great
state of Iowa assembled to do him
honor. The throng was led by Govern
or Carroll, an old time friend of the
general in their former Davis county
home village of Bloomfield. The prom
inent guests were numerous.
Not the least of the pleasing tri
butes to the general was the attend
ance enmasse of the Davis County
Social club, numbering Congressman
J. A. T. Hull, John Hamilton, General
Weaver and many others of note.
Mrs. HiHis, who is devoted to her
father, was radiant with pleasure and
the spirit of hospitality shone joyous
ly throughout her fine home on Sixth
avenue. She was assisted in enter
taining by Mrs. G. W. Miller, Mrs. O.
B. Fryc, Mrs. E. D. Hadley, Mrs. Har
ry Blackburn, Mrs. J. \V. Hillis and
Mrs. Frank Chafe.
The parlors were beautifully dec
orated with autumn leaves, typifying
that the general had reached the au
tumn of his life, and American flags,
tinder which he was always glad to
serve. The luncheon of two courses
was served on a table fairly banked
•with smilax decorations. In the cen
ter was a heap of autumn fruit, while
sear it was an immense birthday
cake. In the cake were 100 candles,
seventy-six to signify the years which
the general had already passed and
the other twenty-four to show the
years which he expects to pass In
the future.
Railways Make Reports.
Not a person was killed on the Iowa
lines of the Minneapolis & St. Louis
railroad during the year ending June
80, 1909, according to the annual re
port of the company filed with the
railroad commission. The total num
ber of persons injured amounted to
only flfty-two, six of whom were pas
sengers. The reports of the Iowa Cen
tral shows there were seven persons
killed and 55 injured on its lines in
Iowa during" the year. Of the injured
only eight were passengers. None of
those killed were passengers.
The financial report of the Iowa
Central shows that its total revenues
from operating during the .year were
12,088,455.69, while the operating ex
penses for the same period amount
ed to $1,814,384.54. For the M. & St.
L. the operating revenues were shown
to be $1,086,025.82 and the operating
expenses were $78,699.54.

B. F. Tillinghast, veteran editor of
the Davenport Democrat, iias sent to
Curator Ili'rlan of the historical col

state conservation commission from
residents of Fort Dodge asking that

not done so. Under the new law the
penalty is two dollars for the first
month, four dollars for the second,
and increasing two dollars each
month. Those who file before Novem

For dog harness the Eskimo pattern
was adopted, but canine economy is
such that when rations are reduced to
workable limits the leather strips dis
appear as food. To overcome this dis

of folds of strong canvas, while the

A boat is an important adjunct to
every sledge expedition which hopes

Animal food, meat and fat, is entirely
satisfactory as a steady diet without
other adjuncts, llis food requires nel

matter of necessity.
I Quantity is important, but quality
applies only to the relative proportion
of fat. With this key to the gastro
nomies of our lockers, penmiican was
selected as tho staple food, which also
served equally well l'or the dogs.
We had an ample supply of pein

raisins, some currants and small
quantity of sugar. This mixture was
cemented together with heated beef
tallow and run into tin cans containing
