The extension OF the Illinois Central
from Fort Dodge to Omaha has re-
suited In starting several new towns.
One Of them, Yetter, somebody had
sense enough to locate i'm natural

We're set out on a farm years ago and
this farm is now cut up into city lots,
so that the Near-o!d town has the APP.
pearanceg OF being fully grown. The
store buildings are modern, the hotel is
good as many in twenty five year-old
towns, two big elevators lumber yard
and a nice bank building, with several
nice residences, go to make UP the
town. All this with good sidewalks,
where year ago was nice Iowa
farm!
The old hotel building, the railroad
eating house at Sanborn. presents a
sight unusual in Iowa. Fifteen years
ago 1t was the best hotel west of Mason
City on the c.. NJ. & St. p railroad. The.
Kaynors made small fortune In IT.
Four trains stopped for meals; 1T was
a division point, and the stopping place
for many crews of train men. Today 1t

trealize to what an extent it is carried
on In Yetter last week a year old
town one car load of live chickens,
ducks and geese was waiting for ship
ment, and the buyer was making things
1 hot because the railroad company had
not furnished another poultry car as he
lexpectei, ard had the stock already 10
bill. In another town a corn crib 800 feet
long was filled With a bowling mob of
Chickens ducks and geese principally
geese from rhe nose), all Of them anx-
ious as other excursionists for a free
ride to Chicago.
Some have heard of the voter in Eli
dora who is going to vote for Bryan be-
cause the Chicago Chronicle says
| Roosevelt swore while the mob out
iwest We're throwing stones. eggs and
dead cats at him. In another place is
a good preacher who will vote for Bry-
an because Mckinley allows the army
icanteen to exist. Here and there is a
imam who is going to vote the demo-
cratic ticket because of the Is per cent
tariff duty on Porto Rico. Many (not
$50 many as heretofore) will vote the
prohibition ticket for principles sake.
