GREEN GOODS WEN CAUGHT.
Same Firm That Recently Endeavored
to InyeIgle an Ottumwa MAN.

A New York special to the Chicago
Times-Herald, Saturday, tells of the
capture of certain alleged green goods
.men who have been operating under
the firm name of j. L. Breen & Son.
1t is the same firm that recently cor
responded with a certain prominent
employe of one of the banks in this
city, but who declared the deal off af-
ter learning that the Ottumwa gentle
man was not the mark" that they had
anticipated. The CAPTURE of the sharp
ers was not due alone to the sagacity
which NJ. A. Perry, a Florida farmer,
possessed, inasmuch as Breen and his
associates had already secured Perry's
check for $500 and given him a tin
box filled with sawdust, Perry suppos-
ing that he had $4,000. One of the
green goods men accompanied Perry
TO restaurant, and there was detected
by travelling man who recognized the
crook and Immediately took in the sit
uation. The knight of the grip was
on his way to a train and could not
, stop to aid the farmer from Florida,
but notified a hackman who assisted
by a fellow cabman succeeded in cap
turing the swindlers. Perry, even af-
ter he had been informed of the swim
die would not believe it until he open
ed his box.

End Of Ant,-Expansion.

Chicago, Nov. Congressman Rob-
ert G. Cousins, of Iowa, was DIT the Au-
ditorium Sunday. He said: "The
elections have killed anti-expansion
just as those OF 1896 killed free silver.
This country has expanded throughout
its history. The arguments against ex-'
pansion We're much better stated in
1903 than they are today, and they did

Hoot Hiding In Chicago.

Waterloo, Nov. 14.-SCheriff Law has
received information which leads him
to believe that jerome w. Hoot, the
man wanted on the charge of sending
an internal machine to his wife, is still
in hiding in Chicago. The information
comes from Mrs. Joseph Sandburg, of
Menomincs. Michigan. vino is visiting
here. Mrs. sardhurg says she saw and
recognized Hoot last Monday near the
Northwestern depot in Chicago. She
did not know then that the man was
wanted by the officers, but she is posi-
tive of his identity, as she knows him
well. When Hoot saw that he was rec
ognized he turned his back on the wo-
man and walked hurriedly away. The
sheriff communicated the facts to the
Chicago rolice.

Alfalfa In the Yakima valley.

Alfalfa was known more than two
thousand years ago. The Greeks and
Romans greatly appreciated its mer-
its, and since that time it has increas-
ed in value, until now, it is almost a
necessity and it is raised in every part
of the world where it; is possible for
1T to thrive. At the time of the Span
ish conquest it was introduced into
Mexico, thence into South America,
Chile, and in 1854 California and Wash-
ington made its acquaintance.
The climate and soil in the Yakima
valley, Washington, are especially adj
apted for the successful growing OF
this plant, closely allied to. the clover.
family as it s,bnt serving as a finer fod-
der. One of the most attractive
features of the Yakima, from April to
December, inclusive, is the beautiful,
dark, rich green of the alfalfa fields.
Five dollars an acre will usually cover
thet cost of seeding, while it Is sold
at $500 a ton for feed, and 5000 when
baled, and as the atmosphere is so
dry and warm, barns are unnecessary
for storage. i
If, after each cutting, the fields
are irrigated, crop of from two to
three tons per acre may be harvested
every six weeks during the summer.
Usually it is SO arranged that a sixty
acre field can keep haying outfit
busy during the entire season, as one.
part of the field will be in blossom
while another is being cut, and still
another part growing up. The cause
for this rapid succession of crops is
that the roots grow to be several in
ches in circumference and extend
downward almost indefinitely until
water is reached. Thus in a porous
and deep soil such as is found in the
Yakima, they will sometimes sink to
depth of twenty-five feet or more.
Some almost fabulous titles are told OF
miners coming across old alfalfa roots
which was y supposedly extended
downwards hundreds of feet. Never
theless, alfalfa, on account of it's rapid
growth, and the small cost of original
ly starting field and ever afterwards
harvesting from the first seeding, has
become one OF the most popular, il
not the mast popular branch of farm
ing in the great and fertile Yakima
Valley. Write to Chas. S. Fee, Gene

in PRIVATE ASYLUMS
-Four Hundred Insane Persons Con
fined in Private Retreatsin Iowa.
NO LAW FOR THESE INSTITUTIONS.
Consequently tile Opportunity for Abuse
is Great and the Victims Are Abso.
luteiy Kelpies.-The Speak,
crShip Candidates.

& f.
Des Moines Nov. 14.-It is probably
, not generally known in the state that
y there are four private insane asylums
in the state that have within their
walls about 400 insane persons. These
institutions are located in Dubuque,
4 Davenport, Council Bluffs and Iowa
City. The first two named have nearly
$50 patients each, the third one in
Council NBlutfs has about 1875, and the
one in Iowa City only about twenty
five or thirty. There has never been
any trouble about these institutions,
no scandal OF sensations have appeared
in the newspapers, but there is.nothing
: TO prevent such things except the good
character OF the management of the in
situations. There is no law allowing
the commitment of an insane person
to pirate institution. There is no
law for the regulation of these insti-
buttons. o: for their adequate inspec-
ton. The board of control discovered
them in making their rounds of the
county insane asylums and found them
to be, apparently, fairly we'll managed.
There is nothing to prevent the incar-
ceration of an insane person, providing
LIS II iSitis diISs ISldtlNCS WISH illlu SO
put out of the way for their own pur-
poses. The situation offers all the OPP
portunities for outrages beside which
murder is tame and highway robbery
is play.
Hardly any other state in the union,
it is said, is without the most stringent
laws for the control of private insane
asylums. The opportunity for abuse is
30 great and the helplessness of the
victims Of such an outrage SO complete
that other states where this subject
have been considered have surrounded
these institutions with the most rigid
inspection. 1t has not been done in
Iowa merely because it has not come
to light and these institutions have not
been guilty of any wrong, at least no
complaints have been heard. The. leg
islature will probably give this subject
its attention this winter and provide
for the better inspection OF all insti-
buttons where insane persons are con
fined. The laws are so severe against
unlawful detention in some states that
private insane asylums are obliged to
require bond from the relatives of pa
tients in sums as high as $4,000, or
more, that the patient will not prose-
/ cute the institution when he gets out.
%&*
The speakership will be the next
thing. The candidates mentioned as
likely to be in the race ares Col. w.
G. Dows of Cedar Rapids, p. L. Prentis
of Ringgold county, w. L. Eaton of
Usage, d. H. Bowen of Allamakee
county, Fred j. Blake of For, Dodua
and M. L. Temple of Clarke county.
Not all OF these are formally an
nounced, but they are the ones now be
ing considered. 1t is interesting to
note that the Eighth ond Fourth dis
tricts each have two candidates. 1t
twill be right lively contest before it
is over. It has not yet crystalized in
to form.

AN AWFUL CRIME.

LibertyvilIe, Ill,-Following family
quarrel this afternoon Mrs. George
Treiter shot and killed her mother Mrs.
Christian Foss, wounded her husband
and killed herself.
The shooting occurred at the home Of
the Treiters, mile and half northwest
Of Linggrove, village near this place
The quarrel was precipitated by long
standing family troubles. Hot words
we're exchanged during the morning and
Treiter became involved in the discus
sion.
The trouble was apparently over,
when after dinner it broke out afresh (.
Mrs. Treiter stepped into the bedroom,
I'd re-appearing Immediately with re-
volver opened fire on her mother. The
first shot proved fatal and tho husband
spr,pQipQ forward to disarm his wife, re-
ceived three wounds that sent him from
the house in retreat.
After leaving the house he heard two
two more shots, the ones which killed
his wife.
Mre. Treiter leaves two children, and
7 wears old. She was 33 and her mother
was 80 years OF age.

the COST OF CARELESShESS.
woman Lost Pine Legacy Thro .gh Use OF
Revenue Stamp.

The Post Office Department does lts
utmost to promptly deliver all letters
properly addressed and stamped. Lax
methods on the part Of the public result
in untold trouble for the department.,
which is constantly reminding the peo'
ple that a letter will not be forwarded
unless postage to the amount OF cents
is affixed.
It has Just been developed that the
carelessness of a writer lost poor wo'
man a fine legacy. In q Massachusetts,
town an old man was dying. lie called
a friend In and asked her to write at
onoe to his niece and tell her to come
at once. The friend did as requested,
bat very foolishly put 2-cent revenue
stamp on the letter in place Of the ordi'
nary stamp. Revenue stamps are not
accepted as postage, and the depart
ment has said so repeatedly in bulletins
and advertisements. The letter was
held at the post Office and the niece no
titled by mail Of the letter which would
be forwarded upon the receipt of proper
postage. There was nothing on the
letter to indicate where it was FROM
and by the time the proper postage ar
rived the old man had died and cut on
the niece without a dollar.
