That Tsxpaysrs' COMMITTEES.

Pursuant to call by B. F. Mon
Eandon, Of HALEY, . taxpayers
meeting was held in the court house
in that place on the 18th instant for
The alleged purpose Of considering
the matter of extravaganza in the
administration of county affairs.
Acting upon the suggestion Of Mr..
Geo. J. Lewis, who, without his
knowledge, had been named in the
printed circular circulated by Mr..
Montandon as one of the tempo
rary committee previously selected
at preliminary meeting in Belle
vue, two delegates were elected at q
meeting of taxpayers in Ketchum
prior to the said general meeting in
HALEY, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what the trouble was in par
ticular and what redress was to be
proposed, if any. at that meeting.
These gentlemen went to the meet
ing from this place on the appoint
ed day to find about dozen dele
gates, more or less, assembled 81
the court house, most of them, no
doubt, with similar purpose and
desire to learn about the grievances
limited at in the call. Resolutions
were drawn up by committee ap.
pointed by the chair, Col. J. w
Ballantine, and submitted by the
committee for the consideration Of
the assemblage, which soon con.
sisted of large number of citizens
of HALEY in addition to the regu'
lar delegates. All Of these were
invited to participate in the proceed
ings, and the floor was taken by S
B. Kingsbury, who talked about an
hour in opposition to the resolu'
lions, which censured the commits
sioners for misconduct :.
After Mr.. Kingsbury had thor
oughly ventilated his ideas with
reference to his employment by the
commissioners in the twocases in
the court at Boise against Lincoln
county, and established to his own
satisfaction the fact that the com.
missioners had exercised the best
of judgment in selecting 80 astute
a lawyer, he yielded the floor to
Mr.. Montandon, whom the commits
sioners had not employed, and that
gentleman proceeded to cook the
aforesaid commissioners to brown
finish.
So much of the afternoon was
consumed in this sort Of uninter-
esting warfare between rival legal
factions of the county metropolis
that the main issue was lost to view
with neatness and dispatch, and
however meritorious it may have
been, the good intentions of the del
egates from other precincts of the
county were succeeded by weari'
ness that finally led them to depart.
The Ketchum delegates waited in
vain for some enlightenment on the
previous question and for some &C.
ton on the resolutions, and finally
took their departure for home. Il
is understood that afterwards the
citizens who were assembled in the
court room passed resolutions sus-
tanning the commissioners.

SOLD A 5.soo-AcRE FARM.
Hiram, g. wheelers, Largest Farm In
Iowa. Sold for &232,OOO.

Dies MONIES, August 9.-Hiram G.
Wheeler, Of Sac county, has just
closed the deal for the sale of his big
farm, and was in Des Moines on bust
ness connected with it. The sale OF
this farm rs a notable one. MIR.
Wheeler says it was the largest gen
eral purpose farm In the world. 1t
included $500 acres, or about nine
square miles: and MIR. Wheeler says
that while there are ranches in the
west, or exclusive wheat farms in the
Dakotas, that contain larger areas.
there is no farm operated for general
purposes that contains SO many acres
as his big esta blishment. Mr. Wheeler
bought the land twenty-five years ago
for So. so an acre. He sells it to w. +.
Adams, of Chicago for $40 an acre,
with the reservation that he shall not
give possession till March, 1898. In
the twenty five years he has owned 1t,
he has made it pay a good interest
every year on the original investment,
SO that the difference between the
original cost of SO. 300 and the selling
price of Ss3a,o is all profit. In the
twenty-five years that he managed it,
there was never year of crop failure.
In 1894 the nearest to a failure was
experienced. and i'll that year oats
yielded about forty and corn fifteen
bushels to the acre. Mr.. Wheeler has
been a successful farmer on large
scale. He has not decided what he
will do after he gives possession OF the
place. He still has about 200 acres of
land in Sac county and about 1000
acres in various parts of Iowa.
