BIGAMISTS ARE SAFE.
No Penalty I'm Iowa for Crime of Hnv-
Ing More Than One Wife.

The Iowa code, in it's revised form,
shows a curious omission, in that it
prescribes no penalty for bigamy, and in
fact does not prohibit plurality Of
wives. All preceding sections bearing
on this subject were repealed by the
new clouse which was inserted in the
new code, with the idea of conforming
with the divorce laws of the eastern
states. Nothing but the repeating Sec
ton was engrossed, so the state of Iowa
becomes an inviting place for any man
who cares to have more than one wife.
The Legislature is expected soon to
remedy this defect as far as possible.

FOR THE GOLD FIELDS.
Five Western states to Send 10000
Men to Alaska.

Chicago, Feb. THE Times-IIerald
says: Klondike fever is the raging
epidemic in the middle western states.
1t is estimated on an absolutely ac-
curate basis that at least $4,000 men in
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana and
Michigan are planning to go to the
Yukon this spring. The estimate is
built upon reports that ALA have act
ually bought tickets and secured their
implements and outfits. This company
of argonauts is ready to start this week
or next, and certainly before the month
is up. Iowa heads the list with 10000
men. The quota to be furnished by the
other states is as follows: Illinois,
5000; Wisconsin, 1000; Indiana, 1000;
Michigan, 1000.

A Valentine from Her.

See yonder lad Affecting free.
How jocundly he HES!
The mornings tingling ecstacy
Is dancing In his eyes.
A fowery way becomes his path,
The skies golden blur.
The earth a paradise-he hath
A valentine from her!
A sudden song escapes his lips,
A joy-reverb'rant thing:
Through loves divine companionship
He feels himself king.
He dreams of no sad aftermath,
This buoyant worshiper,
And all, forsooth, because he hath
A valentine from her!

reaching the allotted span of three
score and ten, being born in 1928. He
came to this coast from Hartford, Conn.,.

thy of the community.
