ConVicts Released

JoLIET, H., June 10.-One of the happl-
est convicts to be released from the Joliet
prison this morning was Harry Lowe alias
Figley, a notorious Pittsburgh burglar, who
had put in a SIX year term from
Chicago. along with Jim Thomp-
son, alias "Bingo,'' for q burglary in
this city. What made Lowe feel so happy
was a big roll of crisp greenbacks presented
TO him by the prison clerk, amounting to
nearly 5000, it being money earned by
Lowe for Overwork, he being the most eX-
pert barrel maker in the cooper contract.
Among other noted Chicago criminals re.
leased to-day were Eddie Phelan, Charlie
McAanus, Jack Christy and William Clark.

Farm Notes.

Fifty acres of farming land were sold in
Pennington County, Dakota, recently for
$4,000.
Dakota farmers kill gophers by scatter
ing corn over their fields which is first well
soaked in a decostion, of which strychnine
is an ingredient
The cherry is said to be the only fruit
tree which can be recommended for shade
in pasture along roadsides, as the hardy
varieties of cherries are not affected BY the
tramping of stock or passing of vehicles,
which would prove injurious to most other
fruit trees.

IOWA'S ELEPHANT.

Impeachment Legislators Eating Up the
Funds OF the State.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, June 9.-The chief
talk OF the State the past week has been
the SALARY grab' of tie Senators who took
pay for five weeks in which the impeach-
meni court was not in session. Scarcely a
paper in the State defends the act, and pub
lie sentiment condemns with great severity
the men who took the money they had not
earned. Many admit their legal right to it,
under liberal construction of the statutes,
but few concede that they were morally
entitled 10 it The effect of public
opinion on this subject is seen in the case
of one Senator Ia Democratic member from
Muscatne) He has paid his share, S2l6,
back to the Treasury, where it has been
credited to the conscience fund" He says
that his opinion as 10 his right to the money
hasn't changed, but he has two children
who implOred him to give it back, and he
has done SO TO please them. The Smpeach-
ment trial is IOwa's white elephant. Every
body is disguised with its tedious ana ex-
renSiye proceedings.
