AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

The foreclosure of the mortgage held
by the undersigned on the plant of The
Telegraph, an event which occurred
at noon to day, will not interrupt the
regular appearance of the Daily and
Weekly issues of the paper. Arrange.
ments have been made to meet this EN-.
Urgency fully, and the paper will be
conducted much as it has been in the
past for the period pending the settle.
ment of its affairs.
The foreclosure is the result OF what
the mortgages regard an irreconcilable
difference between the members of the
firm of Crawford & Hollowell. These
gentlemen have not been able to agree,
neither can they agree to disagree and
dissolve the firm without calling to
their aid the process ofsghe law.
Early this morning an additional
mortgage was filed against the plant of
The Telegraph by j. b. Moorhead
which was foreclosed this afternoon
and suit was instituted by L. E. Hol-
lowell for an accounting and dis
solution of the co-partnership of Craw-
ford IL Hollowell.
Later Mr., Crawford filed mortgage
in favor of Robert Crawford for $500
covering the interest of Mr.. Crawford
in the partnership.
Arrangements will be made pending
the continuance of the action for the
proper and natural course of all bust
ness affairs connected with the bust
ness and editorial management of the
paper. NJ. MAGICIAN,

Concerning the above foreclosure
the Cas- County Democrat says:
People were somewhat surprised this
morning to learn that war had broken
ont in the Telegraph Office between
the two partners, Mr.. Crawford and
Mr.. HOllowell IOllowell has COM
menced legal proceedings against
Crawford, stating that he, Crawford,
has collected nearly all the money due
to the firm much of which he has re-
fused to account for.
HOllowell states that he has knowl
edge of Crawford having thus wrong
fully distracted money belonging to
the firm.
We give these charges as we find
them in the petition in equity made by
HolloWell VS. Crawford, and reserve
any comment.
Over in another county at a recent
election man who looked like he had
not shaved or combed his hair for a
month offered to vote. One of the
bystanders promptly challenged his
vote. The would be voter was very
indignant, and wanted to know why
his vote was challenged. The other
replied "the law allows man to vote
in the township where he gets his
washing done, and do not believe
you have had any washing done, in
this township or anywhere else for
the past three years." He swore in his
vote but when next seen he had on a
clean shirt and had washed his face

1t was been the unwritten law for
years in Adair Co., that the County
Treasurer, Clerk and Auditor keep up
the duties of their offices or hire assist
ants at their own expense. The county
pays no clerk hire. 1t is probably no
picnic to run either of those offic es
alone and unaided, but up to date, no
deaths have occurred from overwork
and there has been no shortage in the
supply of candidates for the Offices

The Shelby County Republican in
speaking of Harlan's city water works
says: The system as it now stands is a
most excellent one, the only thing that
is required to make it an unqualified
success is an adequate supply of water
1t is notable fact that land in
southwestern Iowa has not declined in
value to the amount of one dollar an
acre on account of the last seasons
drouth. If there is any change, land
is increasing in price. This is owing
to comparison. While farmers and
merchants and all classes have suffered
on account of the drouth, yet they
have not suffered to anything like the
same extent as in other parts of the
country. In leaving this part of Iowa
people are only exchanging well enough
for worse.-CaSS County Democrat.

candidates for county office for the
next election.
