combine will be in this city. The or
ganization, when completed, will in
clude more than 100 of the largest buy
ers and shippers of hay in. the states
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
The capital stock is $5,000,000. All the
big individual hay companies in the
territory named are to sell their BUSH
ness outright to the trust, which in the
future will buy all the hay worth hav-
ing in the states and set the price and
control the sale of every ton or load
of it. An extensive tract of land in the
vicinity of Buffalo Is to be purchased,
and on it is to be erected an immense
warehouse, where all the good hay of
four states will be unloaded, inspected
and reloaded by the trust. Buffalo has
been selected as the place for the ware
house for the reason that the bulk of
the hay to be handled by the new COM
pany will be marketed in New England.

Science Treatment the Cause.
A clash between the physicians and
the Christian Scientists of Marshall
town has taken place ard what prom
ises to be finish fight has been inaugu-
rated. The other morning Mrs. Mary
limbaugh, midhle-aged widow, died
CT what is generally admitted to be
heart trouble. Up to few daysof her
death Mrs. Rumbaugh had been under
the care of physician, but his services
were dispensed with and Rev. X. C.
Roberts, a Christian Scientist, was
called. Forty-eight hours later the
woman died.
A burial permit could not be OBJ
tanned until certificate of death had
been issued and the Christian Scientist
had no authority to issue this certifi-
cate. The physician who had previous
ly had charge of the case was appealed
to, but he refused to issue the certifi-
cate on the ground that he was not
treating the patient when she died.
The coroner then took hand in The
matter and impaneled jury and held
an inquest to investigate the circum-
stances surrounding the death of the
woman and especially the nature of the
treatment she had received from the
Christian Scientist and whether that
individual had received pay for his
services, which would, make him ac-
countable to the law. After several wit
nesses had been examined an officer
was sent after Rev. Mr.. Roberts to Sc
cure him as a witness, but he had left

The JURY UNDECIDED.


Murder or Suicide.
The air is full of mystery at New
Hartford as the result of verdict
brought in by the coroner's jury. The
lifeless body of Calvin Walker, we'll
known young man, was found lying on
the sidewalk in the residence portion
OF the town. At first everyone accepted
the suicide theory, but at the inquest
facts were developed that convinced
half of the jurymen that murder had
been committed, while the other half
ton.
The bullet which caused Walkers
death entered the right side of the
back in such position that many be-
lieve it could not have been fired by
his own hand. Shortly before his death
Walker was seen in the presence of a
Mrs. Huffman and Mrs. Kittie Kenner-
Walker had been going for some time,
but who did not welcome his attep-
tions. Both testified that after bidding
Walker good night they walked some
distance before hearing the shot fired.
After hearing this evidence the cor
oner's jury retired, but could come to
no agreement, and two verdicts We're
rendered, one alleging suicide, and the
other declaring that the deceased met
death as the result of a shot fired by
some party unknown to the jury, and
recommending investigation by the
grand jury. The affair has created a
sensation here.

Insurance Companies Rebel Against

the New Tax Law.
Insurance companies of other coun-
tries propose to make a bitter fight
against the law passed last winter by
the Iowa legislature taxing them 5h
per cent. of their gross receipts. Com
panies outside of the state were taxed
2h per cent. and Iowa companies one
per cent. Unless the companies pay,
they will not be given certificate to do
business. AS result the companies are
paying the taxes under protest and will
go into court to try and prove the law
unconstitutional. The foreign COM
panies claim the tax is in violation of
treaty rights and will make their fight
on this line, while the other companies
will make it upon the ground that the
state has no power to make such tax.
