RED OAK, Jan 23.-The scandal
Development made last week is still
the chief topic of interest, though the
intense excitement that at first pre-
vailed has in measure subsidized.
The first case was called Friday, and
concluded Saturday. In that case the
the following three men were arrest
ed at the instance of DR.. Baxter, on
the charge of conspiracy to ruin An d
debauch the person Of his daughter,
a young lady about seventeen years
ofage. Hatch, who was acquitted ;
Crabbe, who took leg bail, and
Fletcher, who was bound over in the
sum of $500 and now lsnguishes in
Jail.
The second greater trial connected
with the scandal was commenced
Monday. The parties implicated are
charged with abducting and conceal
ing for the purpose of prostitution
the person of Title Williams, about l6
years of age, the daughter ola Meth
odist minister. As many az eight
men are charged with being implicit
ed in this dishonorable transaction.
The second preliminary examination
is now pending with closed doors to
the curious public. The testim ony 80
far adduced is of the most shocking
and disgusting kind, and seems doub.
ly so from the fact that all the parties
implicated are Of good social stand
ing,

was called to order by Parmenter. of

was selected as temporary chairman,
and VIM. Lake, Of Clinton, and s. ".
Hastings, Of Mitchell, ~ secretaries.
Delegates were present from Al

j. E. Wick offered the following
resolution, which was adopted:
RESOLVED, that we are unaltersbly
opposed to such increase of State tax.
that we would urge upon our LeRis-
lators and State officers economy in
every department, the cutting down
of al extravagancies, the looping off
OF Legislative luxuries, such . print
ing of the daily journal, the employ
ment of extra clerks for committees
where none are needed; the close
scrutiny of all claims against the
State; the cutting down of appro-
priations for State institutions pro-
portionally with the contraction of
our currency and it's corresponding
increase of purchasing power, and
we demand, in the name of the peo-
people, that the State live within her
income.
Mr.. Bennett moved that a number
of committees, of five each, be ap-
pointed by the Chair to take charge
of the business of the convention.
The motion was adopted, and the
Chairman appointed the following

The Kind of q Horse.

There are but few men in Iowa
whose opinions have more influence
with farmers than the Hon. j. b.
Grinnell. He has had varied expe-
rience, and with practical mind, he
weighs all subjects with utilitarian
standards. At the Association 1T
Marshalltown he was called out, and
the Republican reports him as say
ing:
"He said it was ticklish thing to
talk about horses among so many
present who had made it q constant
study, but as he had himself given
many years attention to this subject
and now had "a on his farm, he de.
sired to say something about the farm
er's horse. The farmers horse is the
practical horse. First, we want
strength. Why? Because we need
them for deep plowing-horses with
limbs stout enough to do days work
without giving out. In order to get
strength we must have muscle, and
this should be looked after. Action
is also necessary. We want docility
and intelligence. There is as much
difference in horses as in men in this
We don't want q horse mar.
row between tho eyes, but one Of
width, which shows intelligence
We should not buy horse with q
vicious eye as it is fair indication Of
q vicious character. We want horses
hardy and easily kept. If 80 we must
look for them in q hardy race. The
horse easily kept is a blocky horse,
one well rounded out. The question
is then, how shall we get such horses
The farmer wants horses that weigh
from 200 to ], 400 lbs, and to obtain
them it would be we'll to take the
best bloods we can find and cross
them with the common stock of mares.
A Clydesdale of 1900 lbs, crossed
with the common mares of 800 lbs,
will give you animals, weighing elev-
en-, twelve and thirteen hundred.
