PARDON FOR NICHOLAS LANG.
Governor Drake Promises to Release tho
Remsen Man From Prison

Governor Drake Promises to Release tho
Remsen Man From Prison.
Dies MONIES, Feb. %. - Governor
Drake is announced to have promised
pardon for Nicholas Lang of Remsen,
now III prison for murder. The promise
was made after series of interviews
with prominent Plymouth county peo-
pie, who urged the pardon. Sheriff
Boyle, Editor Keiffer of the Remseu
Bell, minister from Remsen and two
prominent Lemars attorneys who were
connected with the case, made the final
presentation of Lang's cause and went
away with he positive promise of a
pardon.
Lang's crime was one for which all
admitted there was as much justification
as murder can ever have. He was a
young farmer near Remsen and married
a girl who had been for number of
years ward i'll the family of John Neu.
enschwander. After they were married
Nepenscchwander hoasted of his relation
ship with the girl, which, he claimed,
had extended over a number of years
before the marriage. 1t also developed
in the trial that at one time Neuensch
wander tried to kill Lang, laying a trap
for him on dark night. He planted a
post OH each side of narrow passage in
a country road over which he knew
Lang would ride Mt night and fasteneda
sickle bar at such a height that it would
almost kill Lang if he had ridden into it,
He was accidentally informed i'll time to
escape.
Some time after his marriage Lang
moved into Remsen. engaged sin bust
ness and was elected mayor of the place.
One day when he was away Neuen-
schwander Went to the Lang heme and
made insulting propositions to Mrs.
Lang, who ran away. She told Lang of
it and the next day he met Neueu-
scbwander and shot him dead He was
convicted and given the shortest sent
ence the law would allow-ten years
of which he has served between two
and three. His pardon was urged by
the county attorney, who prosecuted
him; Judge Wakefield, before whom he
was tried, and petition of about three
fourths of the people in the eastern half
of Plymouth county.

Method OIL the Farm.

A noticeable feature among farmers
and stock raisers throughout the country
is the effort to accomplish a
better paying business by doing a
smaller business. The lines upon which
profit is market out are not governed by
extent Of territory which the operator
can control. He. etofore the more acres
and the more cattle the more wealth
and prosperity was represented, but to-
day new conditions enter into the gov.
erning power of gain-it is quality more
than quantity: ir is the ability of obtain
ing great results from small holdings.
The disposition to intensified agricul-
ture is gaining rapidly in every branch
of the work. Improved breeds OF stock
are more popular now than in any per-
iod, producers Of animals are no longer
blinded by prejudice. They recognize
that numbers alone do not mean evil
dences of increased wealth or profit, and
that the qualities that go toward max
Ing ahliiiaio oooiidpic III tho NOUS Va
the world mean much to the producer.
Thus we see The close discrimination in
placing values upon our meat produc-
ing animals, discrimination which the
novice can scarcely comprehend until
the problem has been figured out and
demonstrated by practical tests of his
own efforts.
What is true of liQe stock feature of
agriculture is true in all other lines of
farm produce. The tiller who carefully
selects his seed grains and vegetables
with view desirabiEty of marketable
qualities and conducts the growth of the
plant to obtain the highest standard OF
excellence possible is only keeping pace
with the advance guard in this line of
agricultural improvement. If there is
to be profit realized from farm pro-
duce If ne will FIRST reach the systematic,
careful who AIMS to produce the best
and who takes his pay from the ex-
ira quantity and quality produced. TIL S
not only pays tie Investment OF extra
labor on the crop but yields a big pre-
MUM on economical aud sys ematic
farming.
The horticulhlrist in his line of work
has learned that the market demands a
guarantee from him, and thus packages
of fruits that brin: the best prices bear
the name and address Of the grower.
Evidences Of care and honesty in prepar-
ing fruits for the market are rewarded
by better prices.
The tendency of producers to settle
down to their capacity OF profitable pro-
duction is becoming more apparent each
year. The days OF great things with the
producer has passed, and the season OF
economical p oduction has set in.
Smaller holdings of lands for stock and
farming purposes promise better results
in profits Omah; World Herald.

Heirs of Wesley Redhead Assign For the
Benefit of Creditors.
Dies MONIES. Feb. 1.-THE estate of
Wesley Redhead went into the hands Of
an assignee yesterday. Wesley Redhead
was pioneer of central Iowa. and one
of the first rich men in the state He
was the founder of the coal business in
this part of the state, and made for
tune out of coal mining, grain, stock
farming and other interests. When he
died, six years ago. his estate was con-
sidered worth s. 100000. Since then it
has suffered severely, and yesterday the
whole was assigned by his widow, Anna
S., and his son. George S. Redhead, to
r. T. Wellslager for the bene-
fit of creditors. The estate in
c]udes great areas Of land in north
west Iowa, city property, number Of
large stock farms and considerable min
ing interests. Hard times have made
it impossible to meet the demands of
creditors, and to prevent attachments

CANNOT COPYRIGHT THE CODE.
Iowa SoIons Discover That Emlin HcClnin
Has the Exclusive Right.
DEs MONIES, Feb. Ex-senator Car
penter's investigation into the question
Of the states right to copyright the code
has led to the startling discovery that
after the work of revising the code is
finished, and after great expense, the
state of Iowa will be at the mercy of
Emln McClain, and will be unable to
publish the code, with the SO, 900 profit,
as was expected. Mr.. Carpenter in
vestigations have led to the following
discoveries: The laws are public prop
erty, and cannot be copyrighted. The
state is not a citizen or resident of the
United States, and cannot copyright.
The state cannot use McOlain's pres
ent annotations for references even,
and it would require two years to go
back and bring the annotations up from
the originals. Mr.. McClain can issue
an annotated code in four months.
This announcement is very startling,
but none the less true, and when Mr..
Carpenter reports to the senate a sensa-
tion is expected. The state will proba-
bly, contract with McClain and have
him publish the code.

An Airing Tndoora.

Elderly people and others who may be temporarily house bound and prevented from enjoying a regular daily stroll out- doors can devise fair substitute as fol lows: Bundle up as if for the usual con stitutional, select large, sunny room, preferably at the top of the house, open wide the windows, shut off the heat and move around briskly, going to the win- dow and inhaling tho fresh air deeply through the nostrils. We have often called attention to the fact that house air, with it's many impurities, over- heated condition and general lifeIess- ness, is one of the principal predisposing causes to colds and catarrhal affections. Where Q patient or invalid is confined to bed, if tho shoulders are kept well covered and the head lightly protected, the windows may be opened and the room flushed with fresh air without any special risk, provided the current does not strike them too directly. The danger from want of proper ventilation is decidedly greater Deep inhalationa of air at the open window, taken gently through the nose, impart an enliyening and tonic influence to the whole nervous system, which can soon be demonstrated by q personal experiment.. - Health Magazine.

Long Pointed Bodices.

In the making, and particularly in tha wearing, of long pointed bodices, says Q fashion writer, there is very often found some difficulty in keeping this point in straight position. It has to be carefully boned to secure this result, and even when this is done the end of the point will roll slightly, and for this reason further precaution is suggested. Take a strong piece of flat elastic, sew one end carefully to the extreme tip of the point -on the underside. of oourse-and then, slightly stretching the elastic, fasten the other end five or more inches higher This will cause an upward curve, and when the bodice is worn the defect will right itself and prevent the unsightly rolled up end which is SC often peroeptible on pointed bodiees after being worn few times
