the soldiers home. An amend.
ment was offered making the COM
mander Of Phil Sheridan post one
of the board of trustees, but it did
not receive a second.
Another amendment was offered
cutting the salary of the superin-
tendent down to $500 per year.
Carter said he,,should oppose the
amendment as the salary had al
ready been cut down $4oo. No
man Of any ability would accept
the position at that salary.
Randolph thought that if the
board of trustees should advertise
for man at that salary they
would have so many applicants
that they would not know what to
do with them.
The amendment was lost.
Perkins offered an amendment
requiring the superintendent to be
a practicing physician.
Carter said no competent physi-
clan could be obtained at that sal
ary, and if this amendment carried
the old and decript veterans would
not receive the care and attention
they deserved.
Hammer thought no reputable
physician in the state would accept
the. position carrying with it as it
does the duties of superintendent,
adjutant and physician.
McCarty said there was need of
resident physician. He was in
favor of raising the salary to $1,000
Or $500 per year.
Waters spoke in the same vein
and opposed the amendment unless
the salary should be raised.
Carter said no physician could
command the old soldiers as one
who had marched with them
through the campaign Of the war.
He declared this was simply a doc
tors scheme.
Morgan was in favor of raising
the salary and requiring resident
physician, but If there was any
scheme on foot he desired to know
it before voting.
Cries Of question followed, and
the amendment was lost by vote
of II to %.
The remaining sections of the
bill were approved and the bill
recommended to be passed.
The changes in the bill from the
present law are:
First. Applicants for admission
into the home must have been
bonafde residents of the state for
four months.
Second. The governor, secretary
Of state aud the attorney general
constitute the board Of trustees.
Third. The superintendent Of
the home shall receive a salary of

His legal ability has never been

and his countrymen, his colleagues
have prevented him. on many &C.

The owners of the wire nail factor

The owners of the wire nail factory
at Salem, Ohio, are to receive $780,
O0G year from the trust for keeping
the establishment closed, and the
idleness of the plant will indefinitely
deprive 400 men of employment. This
is fruit of the new tariff. If there
were no duty on wire nails or rods,
foreign competi on would prevent the
formation of a domestic trust and
keep the Salem and other factories
going. But the tariff. shutting out
foreign competition, enables the
owners of factories to combine and
regulate the production and price of
wire nails. 1t empowers them to close
down mills, throw men out of work
and reduce wages, while stimuli
taneously compelling consumers to
pay more for the trusts product. AS
device for protecting wage-earners
out of jobs the Dingley tariff is tt
great success Dubuque Telegraph.

What Ives Said.

In looking over some old papers
the other day we CHANGED to to pick
up circular signed by G. j. Ives, of
the B. G. r. y N. railroad, and issued
to the men in the employ of that
road a year ago. 1t instructed them
to vote for Mckinley and among
other questions and assertions were
these. ''Do you want to pay more
for your flourY' do you want to
pay more for your clothing?" THAT
is what you will do If Bryan is
elected,
Bryan was not elected, but how
about the price of flour and clothing?
And most of ali, how about the wages
of Ives employees? Its the same old
$1,15 a day it was year ago when
flour was 80 cents sack and wooden
goods % per cent. lower. Can't you
see some of the best feathers you had
on your back are gone and that they
are in G. j. Ives downy, warm nesti
Yes, and there is more going the
same way the next time the wind
blows.-Elgin Echo.

A New Pacific Railroad Steal.

The Union Pacific Railroad may not
be conceived in sin, but it WAS
brought forth in iniquity. From the
turning of the first spadeful of earth
until now almost everything that has
related to it has been a swindle and a
scandal.
Not the least of these ,swindles, not
the least scandalous chapter of the
railroads history, is that which is to
be consummated in November, unless
the President shall interfere to pre-
vent a blackening of his Administra-

ment bonds to syndicate of the

Usurer and Tax Dodger.

1t is known that Candidate Shaw is
q usurer because the. cashier of his
bank at Denison, in letter to James
Bellangee of Des Moines, declared un-
der date of July %, last, shat I'VE
(Shaw's bank) carry all past due in
terest at 10 per cent" AS in Iowa the
legal rate is per cent. with permits
sion to contract for not to exceed s.
Shaw practices usury in charging 2
per cent more than the statutory lin
it, and is liable to the pains and pen
alties provided for the offense.
But Shaw is something more than
a usurer; he is also tax dodger.
Proof of this is embodied in a state
ment, transcribed from the records
of Crawford county, showing the tax
es paid in PARTLY himself and in part
by Shaw &.Kuehnle for the year 1896.
Here are the facts:
Bank OF Denison, valuation $1,000,
taxes $439.50.
Bank of Manila, valuation $1,000,
taxes $4,000.
Land, 70 acres in section 1, Good
rich township, valuation 1902; rs
acres in section IA, Goodrich town
ship, valuation $262; taxes on both
tracts, $39.31.
Land. 1912 acres, Paradise town
ship, section 6, valuation 1864, taxes
$7.Os.
Land, 1876 acres, Charter Oak twp.
section 90, valuation $7O0.71, taxes
$54. 72.
Land, 119 acres, Independent dis
trict, Charter Oak, section 26, valua-
ton 81, 125, taxes $67.7s.
All of the above taxes are paid by
the firm of Shaw & Kuehnle. The
following are Mr.. Shaw's individual
taxes:
Lots II, is and 10, block 81, Deni.
son, Iowa, valuation $l,750, taxes
1894. (This includes Mr.. Shaw's
household goods and alltaxes pertain
ing to house property
Land, 232 acres in Goodrich town
ship, section 10, valuation 5000, taxes
1904.
Land, 152 acres in Goodrich town
ship, valuation 81, 1852, taxes $32.61.
Mr.. Shaw owns two banks in Craw
ford county with an advertised re
sponsibility of 1910, 1000, he has in his
own name more than $500, in mort
cages on real estate in Crawford
county and he has become rich by
money lending, yet as the foregoing
statement. taken from the officia
records, reveals, he pays no taxes OF
moneys and credits" He evade
his full responsibility, and to the ex
tent that he escapes his equitabl
share of the burdens of taxation, tn
burdens of others are increased. Ia.
lodging is form of treason, since /
all were to evade payment, as Shaw
on his personally, government woul'
fail for want of support. And no mai
who deliberately violates the statut
against usury is fit to be entruste'
with the enforcement of the laws
The more Shaw's record and practice
are probed the clearer it become
that his election would be q DANCE
to the public interests and that hi
nomination was ablunder.-Dubuqu
Telegraph.
If these statements are true, Mr.
Shaw is worse tax dodger than D.
Daubney, and what the Telegram
says against him as tax dodge,
equally applicable to the other.

The Ohio iron works at GAINESVILLE
not long ago resumed operations after
being idle for q year, and the fact
was heralded as proof that the new
tariff act had revived prosperity. 1t
now develops that the resumption
was on reduced wage scale. The
employees receive an average of about
is per cent less than was formerly
paid them. If the Dingley bill is
benefitting anybody it is not the me-
chanic or laborer.

MAY BECOME A "FREAK."
Museum Proprietor Wants Luetger
ms AN Attraction,


ms an Attraction.
Chicago, Oct. 90. = 1t was mems
crowd that gathered in Judge Tuthill's
courtroom Friday. Only three women
were present and they did not remain.
At ten o'clock States Attorney
Deneen, Assistant States Attorney Nc
Even and Messrs. Vincent and Phalen,
for the defense, met Judge Tuthill in
chambers and discussed the Luetgert
case. There was no formal application
for bail, and no formal application for
attorneys discussed the various phases
of the case.
George Middleton, the museum man
ager, was at the criminal court build
ing Friday prepared to go Luetgert's
bond in any sum in case the application
is successful. Luetgert will probably
sign the contract which Middleton has
already prepared, giving him salary
of $500 week for his appearance in
dime museum for an indefinite period.
Judge Vincent said lie would make
formal demand for bail before some
judge in few days. He did not know
just when he would ask for bail, or be-
fore what judge he would go with the
motion. Mr.. Phalen was more COM
municative, but not more instructive.
He said the first thing to do would be
to find out what Mr.. Deneen wanted,
and then oppose it. AS to the amount
of bail which Luetgert would be willing
to give he was silent.
In the conference in chambers it
was agreed by all that no sum was de-
finitely talked of, and that Mr.. Deneen
sturdily refused to consider any
amount.
