Treasurer's Report Of the Audubon County
Agricultural FAIR, 1889.

In compliance with the law Of Iowa
regarding county agricultural societies
as found in the Code of 1873, chapter 3,
section ITO. Each county society
shall publish annually a list of the
awards, and an abstract of the treasur-
er's account in one or4hore newspapers
of the county or adjoining counties"
etc, hereby publish an abstract state
ment of all moneys and funds that
passed through my hands for the fair of
1889, and thus fulfill requirement that
perhaps has not been observed hereto
fore. The list of awards has already
been published this year in full, for
which no charge was made by the pub
fishers. The statement shows a short
age of $3.50 because of several old &C.
counts not received when estimate of
per centage was made out:

THE republicans of Jones county have
nominated Capt. Jas. Davidson, Of
Monticello, for representative. The
Captain is patriot, an honorable citi
zen, and withal man of superior intel
ligence who will creditably represent
the stalwart citizenship of that excel
Gent and prosperous county. There can
be no doubt of his election. One of the
best men ever nominated for a legisla.
tive Office was defeated there two years
ago because of party troubles, and was
defeated by a disaffected faction
whose vengeance was more sure thar
just. This year all is harmony and EN-
thusiasm, and Davidson will be elected
and prove himself a worthy successo
to Lathrop and Calkins, and the othe
gentlemen whose honor in public ant
private life have kept bright the famil
lar and stalwart name OF that legisla
tive district.

A Villainous SANDER.

The following pointed article is from
the Siour city Journal:
Des Moihes correspondence: The sa-
loon element has resorte,i to most
despicable scheme to create prejudice
against the state of Iowa by sending
circulars all over the eastern states, set
ting forth that prohibition increases
taxes. 1t says that in Des Moines the
tax rate is over SO mills on the dollar.
A capitalist in Connecticut who has
money largely invested in Des Moines.
received one Of the circulars and sent it
to Gov. Larrabee. with 2 request as to
its truthfulness. The governor an
swered as follows:
DIES MONIES, Sept. 26.-F. NJ. H,
Willimatic, Conn.-Dear Sir: Your ia
vor of the 10th with circular inclosed at
hand as stated. In reply permit me to
state that the rate of taxes given for
Dies Moines may be correct. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that the
taxes were as high here previous to the
enactment of the prohibitOry law as they
are at present, and that property in this
city is only assessed at from 20 to % per
cent. of its actual value. The cities of
this state are giving great attention to
school matters, and probably half of the
| whole taxes are for school purposes.
| The fact that Iowa has less illiteracy,
as shown by tbs last census, is not the
result of chance, but of organized effort
to drive illiteracy from our borders. Our
people willingly submit to heavy taxa
ton for school purposes. When you
bear in mind that the illiterants over 10
years of age in this state are less in
number than the number of school
houses, YOU can get a good idea of the
work that is going on here. The same
can be said of Sioux City that il said of
Des Moines. And were | called upon TO

Tea and Tobacco in Alaska.

lTieut. Schwatka in Chicago Times,l
While descending the Yukon many ma
tives visited our floating palace of logs in
their canoes and offered us for sale small
birch bark baskets full of stunted buckle
berries. the one common begging being
for either tea or tobacco. "Chy! chy!
chy!" we heard from morning till night.
A person wholly unfamiliar with the
word. and having no interpreter, might
think as he invaded this land that is was
a native method of salutatOn, a sort of
"Good-day sir" "Welcomel" or their
equivalents. but it isn't anything of the
sort 1t is the Russian fer tea, and you
hear the Indians begging for it far be-
yond where the Russians themselves had
ever been trading on the river.
AS this commodity first sought the
river in the hands Of the russian traders
at nearly both ends of the great stream
for the Yukon river, over 1000 miles
long, heads within twenty or thirty miles
of the Pacific ocean, it is very likely that
the Indians knew no other name for it,
and as they cultivated its taste, they also
appropriated its Russian name. With tea
and tobacco for trading material, a trav
eler may Journey anywhere in Alaska and
the British northwest territory, and as
long as it lasts he will be supplied with
the current coin of the realm.
