LEAVE FOR IOWA Kcprcscntallves of The Mllls-Klln-woith Coinpmiy Leave for Keokuk to Look After Damage Claim. John Krnuse nnd J. Henry Kraiise loft Sunday night at midnight for Kco-liuk, on business connected with the company, in which a number ot Mansfield people bio Interested. The Mils-Ellsworth company's plant was for a ime located In a number of years ago it was derided to move it to Keokuk, Ia on the Mississippi river. It stems that the plant, together with a number of others, went along all right until the government granted the riht to a con cern known as the Mississippi Water J'owcr company to construct a great water power system somewhat on the lines of the Nh'gara Falls water power plant.

The company, which has a capital of $10,000,000, constructed a dam across the Mississippi river and thereby raised the river at Keokuk about six feet. This, it is staled, placed a number of manufacturing -plants along the bank of the river under water and rendered them useless. Tho companies, including I he Mills-Ellsworth company, owned by Mansfield people, filed claims for damages. It is understood that negotiations liave been on for some time between the Mississippi River l'ower company and the Mills Ellsworth company to adjust the matter of damages to be paid in an amicable manner and without resort to cnurts. The directors of the Mills-Elsworth company have held several meetings in Mansfield in the last, two weeks relative to settling their claim, but nothing tangible resulted until the latter part of laft week.

It now develops that John Krause and J. Henry Krause ore empowered to make an adjustment r.r settlement of the matter with the power company. From what can be learned it seems likely that the damages will now be adjuste.l. Just what the Mills-Ellsworth company will do in regard to its plant has not yd been tettled so far as em be lecrned.

Every citizen should have nn expectation of ninety -three years of healthy, happy life, according to Dr. Harvey Yv'. Wiley, chief of the chemistry bureau, who In a recent address came out as a strong disciple of Dr. Wu Tlug Fang In his longevity doctrine, ne made a plea for state and national control of the public health. "By preventing contagious and preventable diseases, particularly among Infants under one year of age," be said, "we can raise the average expectation of life from the present thirty-three years given us by the mortality tables to fifty-three.

Personal hygiene and care will give us the balance. "That it can be done is shown by the Panama canal. The French failed not because of lack of engineers, ability, workmen or machinery, but because of disease. We made the zone sanitary before work was started, and now Panama is health resort. The death rate is almost nothing.

"It has been the same way in the army. Japan taught the world a lesson. In previous contlicts many more men died of disease than from bullets. "Mast diseases are avoidable. In the near future nil of them will be.

Kdwln Hawley, who died recently in New York, was the dominant factor In more than a dozen railroad companies and was regarded as one of the five biggest financiers In America. He was sixty-one years old and a bachelor Edwin Hawley followed in the fool-steps of the late E. II.

Harrimuu as a constructive railroad magnate. lie did not manipulate stocks, but built roads. He bought cripples and made them whole. In this way he made his speculations dead certainties and in the doing be amassed millions'. Among the railroad companies he practically controlled are the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Colorado and Southern, the Minneapolis and St.

Louis, the Iowa Central, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, tho Hocking Valley, the Iowa Central and the St. Louis and Western. His career was Just another American romance of the poor boy who worked his way up to tho pinnacle of success by unflagging energy. A Railroad Builder. He was born in Chatham, X.

In 1S50, the son of a poor farmer. When he was sixteen years old he crowded his personal effects Into a carpetbag and went to New York to hunt a job. He got one on the day he landed and began bis career as a messenger for the Erie railroad at a salary of a week. He remained with the Erie until he got a chance to work for the Ohio and Mississippi railroad for $0 a week. His next shift was to the eastern offices of the Rock Island road as bill of lading clerk ot $14 a week.

Soon after-ward the California Fast Freight line needed a contracting agent nnd Hawley got the job. Here he first came In contact with Collis P. Huntington, then the big man In the western railroad field. Huuluig-ton liked Hawley because, as he said, "He could keep his mouth shut." He soon became assistant traffic manager of the Southern Pacific. Following the death of Huntington, E.

II. Harrlman picked out Hawley as the man who could help him get control of the Southern Pacific railroad. Hawley "turned the trick" for him, but Harrlman turned him down when he sought to be made a director of the Chicago nnd Altou railroad. Harrlman gave James Stillman the place, but be did not succeed in keeping Hawley out Hawley bought all the Alton stock he could get through nn alliance with the Rock Island nnd then took the railroad away from Harrlman. This was the only big defeat scored against Harrlman throughout bis railroad career.

Held Forty Directorships. Hawley continued to develop as a railroad maguare until he finally controlled the Minneapolis and St. Louis, the Iowa Central, the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Chicago and Alton nnd the Toledo, St. Louis And Western, with a total mileage of 4,870. But these roads merely formed the nucleus for his bigger plans.

He was a director in more than forty corporations when he died. At the time of his death he was de-Toting all his energies to Ihe weaving together of a chain of railroads from Winnipeg to the gulfi. The consummation of this scheme would have placed him In the same rank as J. J. Hill as a railroad builder.

Feb. 8. Cattle! UiCwi ta MUSICAL NOTATION. 1 A Now System and the Claims That Are Made For It. Considerable attention is being glvea In the musical world, especially In Eu rope, to a new system of notation la-vented by a man from the Argentina Republic and adapted to a new series of keys of which he is also the originator.

Nearly ten years ago be tried to get his system recognized, but could not conquer the indifference of musicians. Now, however, he has so Improved upon his work that many musicians in Europe ure enthusiastic over the idea. Aside from the factthat It is said to facilitate note reading, It is expected in time to reduce the present more or less complicated musical writing to comparative simplicity. This pystem of musical notation con-fists of a scale of a dozen sounds, which are called la, se, si, do, du, re, ro, ml, fa, fe, sol and nu. These correspond respectively, the la to la sharp or si flat, si to do sharp or re flat, re to re sharp of ml flat of our present system.

It is claimed that this will finally do away with the system of sharps and flats as we know them In playing and reduce the writing of music to three simple signs, notes on, above or below the line, and some slight modifications to express duration, Intensity, bass, treble, more exactly than at present. The keyboard which In time will accompany this system of notation is adapted to pianos actually In use, there being no difference between the spaces of white and black keys. The la Is Indicated in azure, while the new scale tones (du and ro) are designated by white lines drawn down the center at the black keys. narper's Weekly. Oh.
