INJUNCTION SUSTAINED
Judge Hazen comes to the Support
Of the AvarieiOus Assignee.

The farmers and people generally of
this neighborhood were disguised to
here yesterday that Judge Hazen had
granted the injunction prohibiting the
state auditor and treasurer from pay
ing over to the farmers the sugar boun-
ty as appropriated By the legislature.
The matter was bitterly contested by
the sugar mill company's assignee, the
Iowa Bank, but it was a great surprise
to many when the news was received
that the people of this community had
again been subjected to a judicial out
rage. Tyranny is no name for it; it is
an insult to common justice and
usurpation without parallel or prec-
edent. What does our legislature
amount to if an arbitrary court can
nullify the laws as soon as they are
passed and before the ink on the paper
in which they are published is thorough
lY dried. The rights of the common
people have again been trampled in the
dust and the corporations and men of
cloth reign supreme. The case will
probably go TO the supreme court but
we have no reason to entertain q hope
tor justice. Money dominates our
courts ana the people are plunged In.
TO the black dungeon of adversely.
Shame on Judge Hazen and his ne
farious decision!

EDITORS INDEX: 1 would like to
say something little further in regard
to secret prayer found in Matthew XII,
6. What am to say Of the minister
Of the gospel of Christ or the shepherds
of the flock, haye they gone in the way
or Cain? Why do not professed fol-
lowers of Christ destroy the goddess
of fashions" and break in pieces the
god of customs?" Am 1 to think
that the ministers are ignorant Of the
teachings of the bible or am to think
they are two weak to expound them 20
the people? should the chief object of
the church be in making converts or
in serving themselves and sinners?
Matt. xiii, 49, How are we to know
that they, themselves. believe the bible
when they demonstrate by their &C
tions that they think that their prayers
do more good when the words fall on
the ears OF the unconvertedp luke iv,
3D. They say what a church needs Is
faith, Matt. vii, 3-5. and try to whip in
fidels into line by abuse, whom they
have made by showing that they have
more faith in a prayer that the sinner
can hear, feel, and realize. Matt XIV, 8,
and by tramping Gods law under foot
weekly. Now let us think of some of
the things that pertaineth unto God;
conform ourselves unto the world
Rom. xii, 2. Should the churches lead
independently and carry out the ritual
of the bible, or should they take pat
tern after balls and festivals, the socie-
ties of the world? How can it be &C.
counted for people seeking their way
into the so called church that have no
respect for God. bible or anything but
to crafty their desire for society. They
seem To demand those things that
please them the best and the minister
GENERALLY the only one that has any
thing to say about the bible) says moth
ing against this polluting of Gods
temple so long as he is the one that
gets good share Of the Stakes-Tim.
iv, 8. The best way to clear a wreck is
to move the pieces first seen and then
you can see the others so much better
and b. working on this plan we might
eventually bring all people OF God uu-
der one name and doctrine. Is the BIZ
BILE for the church or is the church for
the bible? ought the church reform to
the bible or ought the bible be changed
to compare with the church? Is the
church for Christ or is Christ for the
church? Ought Christ be changed to
suit the church or ought the church to
suit Christ? Christ died for sim
ners but the church ought to be His

of the week the scriptures, and get
nearer the truth and the straight and
narrow path and not depart from it.

For the first time in two years or
more, county warrants are not worth
their face value in money. The trouble
is the belated condition of the general
fund of the county, which it is estimat-
ed is two years behind cash payment
or redemption of warrants. Warrants
bear six per cent interest from issue
until redeemed by the county. So
persons having warrants issued them
at the April meeting. must either hold
them until redeemed or sell at a dis
count of 20 or % cents on their face
value. There are several buyers in the
city, and we are told that as much as
so cents has been paid for April issues.
We would advise everybody, if they
must sell them, to get the highest mar
ket price. and don't sell until you End

j. 0. Warren had the misfortune
to lose his barn, six head of horses

on Mr.. Warren at this time, being in
the midst of the farm season. The fire
originated from cigaretts some boys
were smoking near the barn. This is
another costly lesson to show that toe
much caution cannot be taken wheI
smoking around barn, especially in
dry windy times.
