IMPORTANT LAND CASE.
Invr'. the Title to the Bottom Of Some
Swamps I'm Iowa.

Fort Dodge Ia. Feb. 6.-An impor-
tant case. involving the title to the
Webster county swamp lands. is being
tried here before Judge S. NJ. Weaver
of the Tenth judicial district The liti-
cation arose from a dispute over the
swamp land grant made in 1850 by the
general government to the state of
Iowa and later grant, made in 1856. to
the Dubuque and Pacific railroad, the
Illinois Centras
About 10000 acres of these lands are
in Webster county. In 1891 these lands
were certified TO the state of Iowa by
the secretary of the interior as passing
under the railroad grant of 1856. and
several cases have been taken to the
supreme court of Iowa from Webster
county and settlers titles have been
sustained
In case appealed to the supreme
court of the United States. however. the
railroad grant was held to be good and
that the certificate OF the secretary OF
the interior that these lands passed to
the railroad company was held conclu-
sive j G. Young. of Minneapolis. who
had purchased the rights of the rail-
road company, Immediately began pro-
ceedings TO quiet title 10 the lands. 1t

Dies Moines. Ia. Feb. 6.-Secretary Of

wrath Of some of the biggest oil con-
Germs of the United States He notified
all the inspectors in the state not to
allow a single barrel of oil to enter
Iowa without the collection of the regu-
lar fee for inspection 1t is only re-
Gently that Secretary Dobson discov-
cred what seems to have been very
loose method of doing business among
the oil inspectors stationed along the
river districts.
For the past few years the large oil
concerns. including the Standard Oil
and the Penn Refining companies. have
been in the habit of shipping large
quantities of oil into the river cities.
where il has been inspected and that
carried into the interior of the state
taxed. But much OF these shipments
have been released and shipped back
out of the state. and upon this latter
no fee has been paid. When Secretary
Dobson discovered this practice he de-
termined to put stop to IL. and hence
the ruling.

They are taken away by the disease
which causes over one-sixth of all the
deaths in the world-the disease which
doctors call consumption. There is
absolutely nc reason in the world why
consumption should be fatal-why it
should be even serious. 1t is a disease
of the blood, and can be cured abso-
lntely and always by purifying and
enriching the blood. The only excep-
ton to this is the case where the disease
has been neglected and improperly
treated until 1t is stronger than the
body-until the body has become 80

Of this city, for breach of promise The
defendant is prominent young drug
gist and married in November last Mrs.
Jessie Hurley. of Marshalltown, after
what appears to have been a short
courtship.
The high character and prominence
of the interested parties made this a
suit of unusual interest The trial last
ed but one day and although stubborn
ly fought was entirely free from I'M
clean accusations. From the evidence
plaintiff and defendant were betrothed
in 1895 while Hoy was a resident of
Waterloo and Miss Olmstead resided
temporarily in Minneapolis. For one
reason and another their wedding was
postponed and not until last fall was a
date fixed.
1t was then agreed, according to
plaintiffs testimony. that the wedding
should take place next spring. On Nov.
II last Hoy wrote TO Miss Olmstead
breaking off the engagement and ten
days later married Mrs Hurley Then
Miss Olmstead brought suit for $10,-
900. The defense admitted all allega-
tions of the plaintiff. claiming only that
the contract 10 marry was conditional.

E. p. Irvine. Assuming Mr.. Irvine's
figures are correct, have some criti-
cisms to make. The insane of Win.
neshiek county, that is the incurable
and pauper class, are cared for in the
County House, and if the Almighty
dollar was the only issue l will grant
it saving of dollar and cents, but in
this the closing year of the nineteenth
century, is this all we owe to these poor
unfortunates?
We can suppose one who has been a
good citizen for many years fulfilling
all his duties as such, suddenly bereft
of reason when all is gloom and dark
ness, and hope closes every door, and
"Evcn Gods Providence Seemed Es-
tranged" and in place of every comfort
that could mitigate his lot, do you not
think that the awaking in the County
House with its surroundings would
tend to dispel this last CLEAN of reason?
When all his former good citizenship
is forgotten. and the grief of the aged
parents, Of the loving wife, and the
poor children at seeing the one near
and dear to them in such a place are
set at naught, the best means of recnv-
cry are denied to such a one, and all
for the sake of saving few dollars,

er. Understand, am making no at
tack upon our county officials as such,
but upon system which let's out the
medical treatment and daily care of
these unfortunates to the highest bid

position which demands the highest

do it for the least money, to the dis
grace of our manhood and christian
civilization, is il not time to cry halt?
