John 70. johnson, of Randall, Violate.
the Law Without Intent-Chicago
Authorities Stirred Up.

Packed among boxes and furniture
in Northwestern railway freight car,
John E. Johnson took to Chicago the
remains OF his wife, who died in Ran
dali, 10 years ago. Chicago health au-
thorities did not know that the wom-
an had been dead that long, and when
word reached them that the car con-
tanned the remains of woman who
died of smallpox a corps of disinfect-
ors were sent to the station to take
charge of the body.
johnson was found to be ignorant
of the law requiring a permit to ex-
hume and transport dead body. To
save express charges he had placed
his wife's skeleton in a dry goods box
and slowed it among his household
effects. The Chicago undertaken en-
gagged by johnson applied to the
health department for burial per-
NIT, but was refused because he was
unable to give satisfactory explana-
ton of the cause of death. Iowa au-
thorities were consulted by telegraph
and replied that no permit had been
issued for the removal Of the body.
The officials found the skeleton
wrapped in an old blanket, and when
they were convinced there was moth.
ing irregular in the case allowed the
husband to bury the remains in Mount
Olivet cemetery. Health Commission.
er Reynolds, Of Chicago, says johnson
will not be punished, as it was clear
he intended no infraction of the law.

To the victors Belong the

Our friends of the North Iowa Demo-
crat at Elma are enjoyinga STAT take"
six double breasted sheriff sales. That's
business, the boys are publishing q live
Democratic paper and are deserving
of the support of the county'S Demo-
cratic officers. The sheriff is setting
an example in the matter of patron
age to his party newspapers that 1T
would be we'll for Republican officials
to follow. Howard County Times.
Dyspepsia and chronic Indigestion
are probably what is affecting the
Times editor, and they give dark
coloring to all his articles. Perhaps
he is not aware Of the fact that the
attorney in the case has absolute con-
troll of where notices of sheriff sales
shall be published. In these, ii. L.
Spaulding, one of his republica friends
was the attorney who instead Of CIV
ing the work to the Times, contracted
with the publishers Of the Democrat
for their publication, pays for the
work and directed the Sheriff to give
that paper the sales. Had Mr.. SpaIad-
ing ordered the publication to have
been made in the Times, Sheriff
Campbell would have given it the
work. The Times will profit by SO
conducting itself that it can control
the patronage of the attorneys of its
own partizan hue, rather than ped,
ding inuendoes and false statements
about its political opponents, and
which involve his attorney friends as
objects of his hostility. There should
not be any politics in business, and
the attorney, republican or democrat
who controls his business in the inter-
est of his clients recognizes this great
truth and thus proclaims his integrity.

Strikers Growing Uneasy.
Scranton, Pa, Sept. 24.-President
Nichols and the members of District
No. l executive board are not appre-
hensive of any change in the strike
situation in this section by reason of
the ordering of troops to the Schuyl-
kill region. The first news that
reached them caused them much
chagrin and disappointment because
they had hoped for nothing else than
the best of order there, the same as
prevails in this region.
Now that troops are in the field an
uncertainty is growing among miners
here as to their future. From Forest
City, where the Hillsdale Coal and
Iron company has two big mines, the
news comes Saturday morning that
many men are dissatisfied with the
present status of the strike and have
announced their intention to go back
to work on Monday. The Delaware
Lackawanna g. Western company's
men, too, were showing restlessness
Saturday, and a break may come in
their ranks very soon as the company,
through General Superintendent
LOOMS, again announces that as soon
as the men get back to work their de-
mands as company employees eNclu-
sively will be taken up and consid-
cred. The Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany stands in a similar position and
other companies are ready to do the
same. The position OF the companies
and their decided announcement that
they will not deal with their employees
through the United Mine Workers or
ganization together with the bring
ing of the militia into service. has set
the strikers hereabouts to thinking,
and they realize that the battle is ap-
parently going against them.
