A novel case was disposed OF before

out by Capt. W. d. Dempster, charging
Pickens with hiding, secreting and de-
taing a saber belonging to the State OF
Ohio, and which was in charge ofDemp.

the SOnflef.
Latin Ia Our High School.

Tho Democrat of last weeks issue
talks about "howl" being raised to
"banish" the Latin language from our
public schools. My attention hap.
pened to be called. to, it yesterday
evening. The editor refers to petit
ton that is being circulated asking
the School Board to SO change the
course of study in the High School
that scholars whose parents may so
desire, may leave out the study OF
Latin and take such other more prac-
tical study as the Board may choose
to substitute in the course.
The petition does not ask the Board
to Danish Latin from the schools, and
the editor of the Democrat must have
known it for he heard the paper read.
Let those who wish, study the dead
languages, but there are many who
think that Latin is of so little practi-
cal use I'M life in acquiring bread, that
they much prefer that their children
study something else. There hai
been no "howl" made about it; but
simply ~ respectful petition to the
proper authority, the School Board
1t was not intended to bring thii
matter into print, but will say here
that there are many whom cannot
see, who may wish to sign such a
petition, which has already many
names, attached, If so, it can be
seen for few days at the p. o. News
Depot, where George Warden will
give any one a chance to become a pc.

when young to Kentucky, and from
thence to Sullivan county, Indiana

The Resources Of Iowa.

The Clinton Age has a valuable ar
ticlc on the resources of Iowa, and
the probable value of its products in
this year. 1t shows that the farm
products of the season OH a reasona-
BILE calculation will pay, after pro-
visioning the producers, the vast
sum of seventy-three millions Of dol
lars. OF this income so far as it re-
latcs to farmers, the Age says:
"For the last three years at least, it
has been what may be termed scrimp-
ing times with the farmers. They
have been compelled. like other peo-
pie, to economic in every direction.
Their old clothes have been made to
last two or three years longer than
under more prosperous circumstan-
ces they would have been required
to. Necessary improvements on the
farm have been postponed. New
buildings have had to wait on i'm
proved times. Fences needing re-
pairs have continued to need them.
In word, the farmer has been re-
quired by. necessity he could not
change or modify, to curtail all his
expenses and to get along with the
least possible amount of expendi-
lures.
The prospects now are vastly bet
ter. Unless there is something un-
foreseen to disarrange all calcnla-
tions, the farmer will find himself in
condition not only to make all needed
improvements on the farm, but to re-
clothe his family, and lay in for win
ter's use numerous items of comfort
for some years denied him. There is
no reason why, with this immense
amount of money brought into the
State in exchange for the produce of
the soil, that business Of every ma
ture should not revive, and Iowa at
once enter upon that era of prosper
ity SO long promised aud SO often
postponed.
And Of the relations of such i'm
mcnsc agricultural productivcness to
manufactures the Age says: "Now
if Iowa can dig out of the ground
1913, 100000 worth of produce in one
year, is it not good State for the
planting of manufactures There is
not State in the Union so complete
~ and entirely given up to one
branch of industry. Iowa may go on
year after year striking her big bo-
nanzas, gathering from mother Earth
the most bountiful crops, and having
poured into her lap the most lavish
ing wealth, and yet if she continues
to send abroad for whatever she
wants that she docs not take out of
the ground, she will in time impov-
erish herself. IT is not what Iowa
makes that gives her wealth, but what
she saves.
Here, then, is big field and a rich
field for the idle capital of the east.
The demand for the manufactured
goods is herc-the raw material is
here, and the money to pay for the
manufactured goods is here. Let
capital put on its spcctacles and en-
quire whether the State which puts
into its pocket $73,000O00 for one
years surplus crop, does not possess
sufficient inducements for the cstab-
lishmcnt of other industries than
farming. The inquiry is one that
just now capital can afford to make.

We are glad to publish the follow
ing statement from the State Regis

We are glad to publish the follow
ing statement from the State Regis
ter, and to learn that the stories In re-
lation to Frank Carroll are false:
FRANK CARROLL. - esterday,
George Butts returned from Omaha
and brings ample confirmation Of the
untruth OF the statement that Frank
Carroll had been tried and sentenced
and hung for murder. He went to
Mrs. Carroll's residence, in Omaha,
Monday night, found her very COM
fortably situated and Frank at home.
The latter says there was q man ar
rested in the mountains for the al
legged murder and that he gave to the
officers the name of Frank Carroll.
The genuine Frank has not been in
the vicinity Of Deadwood for many
months. While at Cheyenne, one day
last week, he hearda crowd Of men
reading the Registers account of his
supposed trial, and their comments
thereon, some of which were very
uncomplimentary. But for all that
Frank feels very glad that it ism,
him.
The statements published with ref
ercnce to Mrs. Carroll's extreme des
titution arc without foundation.
She has large, well furnished house
and is keeping boarders at Omaha.
