Freezing I'm Summer and Warm I'm
Winter.


The thriving town of DEBORAH lies in
romantic valley of the Upper Iowa
river, and the cave is almost within its
corporate limits Following the left
bank of the stream one soon reaches
the vicinity, and with hard scramble
through loose shale, up the side of a
precipitous hill, forming the immediate
bank of the river, the entrance is gained
an opening FIVE feet wide and eight
feet high. These dimentions generally
describe the caves section. From the
entrance the course is deep decline
seldom less than 40 degrees. At times
the ceiling is so low that progress ON
hands and knees is necessary. About
l25 feet from the entrance the d" Ice
Chamber" is reached. At this spot the
cave widens into well proportioned
room, by IL feet. The floor is solid
ice of unknown thickness. and on the
right hand wall of the room curtain of
ice drops to the floor, from a crevice
extending horizontally in the rock at
the height of ones eyes.
Close examination discovers the wa
ter oozing from the crevice, and as it
finds its way down the side it freezes in
the low temperature of the chamber.
Singularly this one crevice, and that no
wider than knife edge, furnishes this,
natures ice house, with the necessary
water. 1t was hot day in August,
the thermometer marking so degrees in
the shade when the visit was made, and
comparatively the cold was intense.
In common with all visitors, we de-
tachod some large pieces of ice snd with
them hurriedly departed, glad to regain
the warmth of the outer world.
The most remarkable fact in connec-
ton with this wonder is that the water
only freezes in summer AS the cold
of actual winter comes on the ice OF the
cave gradually melts, and when the
river below is frozen by the fierce cold
of Northern Iowa, the ice has disap-
peared and muddy slush has taken
the place of the frigid floor. ! would
add that the ice chamber forms the ter
minus of the cave. Beyond, shallow
crevice in the crumbling rock forbids
further advance. The rock formation
of this region is the Portland sandstone.

Local TaxntIon,

The result Of the elections among oul
Ohio nelghbors shows that they have moi
been misled by the bowling against the
taxation that bears so heavily on the peo
pie during these times Of depression. No
long ago the Greenbackers were attempt
ing to show that upwards Of iorty.six mill
ions Of taxes were wrung from the people
OF Ohio. While it Is a fact that this amount
OF tax is collected in that State, tits like
wise a fact that two.thirds oft Isl self in
tlicted tax, voluntarily imposed by the
people on themselves from year to year II
the several counties Of the State. An an
alySis Of the tax shows that over sixteen
millions Of it is collected by the Fedora
Government. But collected how anc
from whom2 Why from the manufacture
and sale OF whisky, and beer, and tobacco
and from taxes on banks and bank checks
These are the exclusive sources from
which it is collected. There is moth
ing to howl about In such {
showing. People who do mo-
want to pay Federal tax car
easily cut down their payments by econo
MIXING their drinks and their tobacco. Al
far as the banks are concerned, the Green
hackers are OF course delighted to see then
taxed. 1nasmuch as they are sucking the
life blood out OF the people all the time il
is well that they, in their turn, should be
freely bled. Who then Is hurt by the taxes
collected by the Federal Government il
Ohio?
Asfor the balance OF the iorty-six mil
lions Of taxes collected in that State, the
figures show that over four millions and {
half come under the head Of State tax
and nearly twenty millions under the heat
Of local tax. OF the latter, one item alont
amounts to nearly six millions of dollars
viz, local school taxes, while under tht
head Of city, town and village taxes tht
amount is considerably upward Of eigh
millions.
This shows how deceptive it is to sa,
that over forty.six millions Of tax art
wrung from the people of Ohio. Tht
wringing is principally done by the deal
people themselves. 1t is with our Ohio
neighbors as tits with ourselves, viz, that
our burdens in the way Of taxation art
such as We vote on ourselves for railroads
public buildings and other works Of pub
lie improvement. The taxes that Uncle
Sam collects are soluble in whisky ant
dissolyable in smoke,
