Mrs. John O. Allen, of Johnson township, certainly is entitled to the credit of being the banner poultry raiser of St. Francis county. For Thanksgiving she sold forty-two fine. fat turkies. ranging in price from 75 centy to S1 50 each. and has in reserve seventy-two more for Christmas. Peas and other grain is sowed specially for the poultry. thereby insuring fine marketable stock.

GOV. PINGREE'S VICTORY.
Michigan Central Must Issue 1000
Mileage Books for $40.

Michigan Central Must Issue 1000
Mileage Books for $40.
Detroit, Mich, Feb. fudge Dono-
van, of the circuit court, has ordered
the issuance of a mandamus against
the Michigan Central railway in the
suit brought by Gov. Pingree to compel
the railway company to sell him 1000
mileage book, good not only for him
self, but for any member of his fam
lily, for $40.
Judge Donovan quoted several decis-
ions of the United States supreme court,
under which the right to regulate fares
and charges was reserved to the state.
He concluded that the Michigan Central
is still under police power, reserved to
the state, and that the company cannot
fix rates by bylaws repugnant to the
laws of the state"
"It is clearly serrIed law that the COM
pany's whole system Is under state law
and state control. 1t cannot escape state
statutes by it's bylaws, which conflict with
the constitutional requirements.
'"The company cannot even tender to
the state what it purchased in 1886. and
which the state could buy back in 1867.
The holdings are so vast that eventually
either the company will control the state
railway system or that function must re-
main in the state. In case of doubt the
state Is entitled to the doubt.
THE mandamuS will ISSUE"

can be induced to reconsider, which is
not likely, the matter is at an end.

REJOINS DESERTED WIFE.
G. j. Wynn, of OtO, Returns After
Fifteen Years Absence.

After Is years separation from his
wife, during which the latter has been
twice married and twice divorced, G. j.
Wynn, of Otto, Woodbury. county, has
rejoined her to pass the remainder of
his days.
Wynn lived at Ida Grove in 1883. In
the spring of that year he went to Da-
kota, intending to send back after his
family as soon as he was fairly estab-
lished. He never returned or wrote to
them. His wife finally decided he must
be dead and married resident of
Marion, named Mckay. The union was
not happy one and a divorce was
granted soon afterward on the wife's
petition. Last July she married Cedar
Rapids clergyman named LeJIew, with
whom she disagreed, as she had with
Mckay. Another divorce followed.
A short time ago she received a letter
from Wynn asking permission to return
to her. 1t was readily granted and the
family is now reunited after years of
separation. Wynn has lived at Otto for
IL years. He frequently mentioned the
fact that he was married, but never ex-
planned why he left his wife. He has
not done so even yet and the reason for
his long desertion of her is mystery.
He is 60 years old and quite wealthy.

NO CAUSE FOR FEAR.
Town Is on Safe Ground In Her Dairy
Interests.


Dairy Commissioner W. X. Boardman
las filed his annual report with Gov.
Shaw, 1t contains a statement to the
effect that Iowa dairymen need enter
tain no fear that the industry will ex-
hibit such a growth as to injure the
trade and reduce prices. Reference is
made to the fact that no licenses were
issued last year for sales of oleomar-
garine in Iowa. Iowa butter makers re-
ceived $S90,34 for labor. Extracts from
the report follow:
In proving that the anti-celor law has
operated to decrease the sale OF oleo-
margarine and to entirely wipe out the
trade in Iowa the commissioner notes
that during the year ended June 90, 1897,
