about the stable they started down the

with about half way between the house

whether he had gone up or down the

had wandered off and fallen asleep,
which fact proved true. Search was

RAILROAD NEWS,

The ADVANCE recently Published an
article from the Des AEoines Register
concerning the acquisition of the Fort
Dodge by the Rock Island. The
Chicago Times of the Goth says:
In referring to the Des Moines and
Fort Dodge railway, the Importance Of
the acquisition of that line to the Rock
Island was incidentally mentioned. 1t
may be added that while the Rock IS
land has no direct interest in the road,
to all intents and purposes it will be-
come an affiliated road. The majority
Of the stock has been purchased by r.
G. Flowers, director and heavy stock.

possibility of its possible extension It

TAX TITLE NOTICES.

The ADVANCE has kept its readers
posted as to recent supreme court de-
cisions affecting tax titles, especially
the important one reviying the ninety
days. notice which must be given by
the tax buyer to the owner of the fee.,
The question rs to whether or not the
state was included among these "buy-
ers," it seems, was left unsettled by
the former decision. Now, however,
it is claimed that the recent decision in
the case of Nelson VS.. the Central
Land Company, includes the state in
the 'all persons" who must give the
ninety days. notice. But it seems that
in such cases notice is required only
when the period of redemption has not
yet expired. After that the State be-
comes absolute owner.
Thursday was Monthly Market Day.
and as usual the stores were crowded
with people, farm machinery Of all
kinds was being hauled ont of town in
all directions. and there was q general
~hastle" all day-Heron Lake Waye.
Market days seem to succeed in other
towns. If Worthington is waiting for
the Board of Trade to act in this mat
ter we would suggest that the Board
take the lead and try few market days.
