The most peculiar method is that
relating to the system of exchange.
Can anything more absurd be i'm
agined than the charge of IL on ex-
change between California and Ho
nolulus The exports from Hawaii
far exceed the imports, and yet the
local bankers and sugar factors are
making handsome profit under the
item Exchange" and the stockhold-
ers tamely submit to the imposition.
II money has to be remitted from
here to San Francisco it is far cheap
or to send it in cash and pay insur-
ance and freight on it than to buy
exchanges from the agents and
banks, and that method will be
adopted before long if the rate of
exchange is not lowered even to par.
1t is the duty of the small share
holders to enter a protest and de-
mand an investigation into the pres
ent methods. The Chamber of
Commerce, whose duty it should be
to look into the matter, is composed
of or dominated by sugar agents
and big stockholders in sugar es-
tates and banks, and they are will
ing enough to let things remain as
they are. 1t is for the 'small" men
to take heroic measures and see that
square deal is given to all holders
OF stock, that the question OF Eek
change" is settled in the interest Of
the plantations and not for the sole
benefit Of bankers and agents, and
that an open above-board course is
used as basis for future transactions.
We are referring to the "old" plan
tations as warning to the young"
ones.

That Buzz Saw"

a. I'll. Hall, Minneapolis attorney
was in Cresco on Saturday in the inter-
est of the young man who is under in
dictment brought here by the anti
saloon league to convict men whether
innocentor guilty. Mr.. Hall was one
OF the attorneys in the Hayward trial
on the part of the State. He had with
him letters of the anti saloon league
written and signed by the Rev. Linn
OF Lime Springs, stipulating to pay
these men four dollars per day and ex-
penses, and contract upon which
there is now due from the League to
the person under indictment the sum
of S2lO.
This league was organized Monday
evening, April 10, 1899, when Rev. (?)
FL. III. Abrams, of Marshalltown ad-
dressed the meeting and explained its
objects one of which, and the principle
one, was to eXtort money by false
witnesses or any other means from
the business men of the county, "
the maintaining in the field such mer-
cenary WhelpS as himself. At this
organization Rev. w. X. Lane was
elected president, Jacob Welsh, secre-
tary and e. G. Barnes treasurer, and a
central committee appointed after
the manner of political organizations
At this meeting Rev. Holmes is re-
ported to have said:
"The buzz.saw has commenced, you
boot-leggers, sample men, and others
who are violating the law take warm
ing, don't run up against it or you will
be hurt; it means business and has
commenced its work. y
A specimen of its work is on exhi-
bitlon in the case against DR., Glenn
mer, j. G. Love, and DIR. Connolly,
and the men who have organized this
league and which as stated in the
Howard County Times of April 20, 1899.

work to procure testimony for cons

punished as conspirators, ready to as
sail the character and business integri-
| ty of the best and most law abiding
citizens of the county, and have
pledged money for that purpose and
lempowered the league to make assess
ments upon that pledge of 10 to 20 yer
cent. Let us hear from Bro. Holmes.

Asnow Scene.

The Show window at w. f. Aliens
Shoe store is beautifully represented
by snow scene that pictures italmost
or quite as naturally as though it were
really new fallen snow. AS a central
figure is farm house completely en-
veloped in snow. Upon either side is
an evergreen tree with snow lodged
among the branches. There is not one
feature lacking to make it epresen-
tation of nearly every home in Cresco
at this time-there is walk cleared
of the snow from the house to the
street in front. A few of the people
of Cresco who have allowed the snow
to obstruct their walks almost up to
their very doors, allowing the public
to stumble over drifts of snow, could
take good practical lesson from this
snow picture.

Why Women Are Nervous.

The frequent cases of nervous pros
tration or other collapse of the nerv-
Gus system under which women ''go
all to pieces, as the saying is, have
cavsed much thought and investiga-
tion on the part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are
well known to cause various forms of
nervous diseases which are readily
traced to the poisons pSoducing them.
Further research leads to the belief
that alum is a prevailing cause of So
called nervous prostration, for the
symptoms it produces on the nervous
system after its absorption into the
blood are very remarkable indeed. Ex-
periments phisiologically made upon
animals by Orfila, Professors Hans
Mayer, Paul Seim and others. show
that Alum frequently produces no Wis.
ible symptoms for many days after its
introd duction into the body. Then fol
low loss of appetite and other alimen,
tary disturbances, and tinallya serious
prostration, of the whole nervous sys-
TEN. The most prominent physicians
now believe that '!nerYous prostra.
ton" and many affections of the
nerves from which both men and wo-
men suffer are caused by. the contin-
ued absorption of alum into the sys-
tenn.
1t is probable that many medical
men are unaware of the extent to
which salts of alumina may be intro
duced into the body, being under the
impression that the use of alum in
bread is prohibited. Alan, however
is still used surreptiously to some ex-
tent to whiten bread, and very large
ly in making cheap kinds of baking
powder. In families where baking
powder is generally used great care
should be exercised to procure only
those brands made from cream of tar.

Turning on the SearchIight.

The grand jury in Winneshiek coun-
ty at the recent session of the district
court commenced an Investigation of
the various accusations of eXtortion
for taking illegal fees, and of the otfic-
!al corruption and boodling practices
OF its Sheriff. The investigation was
not completed but continued to anoth-
er term for the reason that large
quantity of evidence taken in suit
pending against him, with other docu-
mnntary proof, was not then accessi-
BILE to the jury. This evidence taken
thus far fully confirms the charges
made in an article in this paper just
on the eve of election that he had

1t has also been disclosed that two

and that subpoenas were there served
upon them by him there, that his re-
turn made five minutes thereafter be-
side the service, claimed milage sl.2O
on each subpoena when he was entitled
to only 10 cents on each beside the
service fee.
1T is also in evidence that in select
ing and paying appraisers in cases
where property is sold and it is requir-
ed, that he has shown criminal favor
iteism. The fee for this is 25 cents an
hour, and one case where the apprais-
ers were engaged seven hours he paid
to one of the two chosen four dollars.

the property appraised far below its
value at the legal rate for appraised

All these facts have been fully de-
veloped in the pending suit, and in in
stances where he had sworn positively
that no receipts had been given for
money, the receipts have been intro,
duced in evidence. and on eross-ex.
animation he had admitted them tc
be genuine.
These are some Of the matters fol
which the grand jury continued the
examination to a future term of the
court.
