For Violating Revenue Law.

Rockwell City, Oct. 27.-Jacob Zeig-
Ter, Williams township farmer, was
taken into custody by United States
revenue officers and taken to Fort
Dodge. He was charged with having
violated the internal revenue la -
by neglecting to afiix a properly can
celled revenue stamp on an order
for strawberry plants which he gave
to Fred Chapman, nursery stock
peddler, some months ago. The plants
were to have been delivered in the
proper season, in the spring, but were
not delivered until along in July.
Zeigler refused to take them, and
Chapman sued him. Zeigler won the
case, and now comes Chapman charg-
ing Zeigler with violation of tho
internal revenue laws.

Council Bluffs, Oct. 24.-Thomas I.
senter, living six miles north of Mem,
phis, Mo-, was brought here in GUS
tody of Sheriff Davis of Scotland
county, Missouri, and Deputy Sheriff
Baker of this city, to answer to
charge of obtaining S645 from the
real estate firm of Lougee & Lougee,
on October IA, 1898, on a fraudulent
land mortgage. His alleged partner,
p. c. Bonner, is under arrest at Fair.
field, Iowa. The two are alleged to
have successfully operated in this
state for the last two years, victim
izing banks and real estate dealers
on bogus land deals. When he turned
the trick here, Senter gave the name
of James l.. Palmer, and he also is
said to be known to the Pinkertons,
who worked up the case, as George
N. Conway. Senter was indicted by
the grand jury here in November,
1898, but it was not until last week
that he was run down near Memphis,
where he had resided on a farm for
the last seven years. Senter has been
positively identified by both members
of the firm of Lougee & Lougee as
the man who victimized them. IT is
alleged that he and his partner forg-
ed the name of Theodore Cowitz of
Oklahoma to deed to 100 acres in
this county, on which they borrowed
S645 from Lougee & Lougee. The
man under arrest at Fairfield has
been identified as John n. Edwards,
who left Memphis twenty-three years
ago.

Ex-Governor Pillsbury of Minnesota

Ex-Governor Pillsbury Of Minnesota
and his wife are going to build a
home for poor girls in st. Paul. The
ex-governor says: IF girl is thrown
out of employment, or for any reason
loses her bread-earning power, we
want her to feel that she is not with
out a friend. She need never despair
so long as our home stands. There she
can find food and shelter, be as com
Portable, so far as her surroundings
are concerned, as she would be any
where in the world" 1t is by such
things as this that John l. Pillsbury
deserves his statue, which, the work
OF Daniel C. French, has just unv,iled
on the campus of the University OF
Minnesota.

The growth of population about the
Great Lakes will be one of the impor-
tant revelations of the present census.
Six Lake cities, Buffalo, Cleveland, To-
ledo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago,
have added more than million people
since 1890, an increase of nearly fifty
per cent. The increase is directly re-
lated to the growth Of commerce of
the Great Lakes, which has doubled in
the last five years. The tonnage ca
pacity of vessels passing through the
canal at Sault Sainte Marie is now half
as large again as that Of all the YES.
sells which enter and leave the port of
New York, aud two and half times as
great as the tonnage which passes
through the Suez Canal The Great
Lakes certainly cannot be called "a
waste of waters" They are teeming
with life and usefulness.

Foreign trade has picturesque fea-
lures which greatly relieve its coldly
commercial aspects. For example. in
sending to Zanzibar a hundred thou
sand dollars worth of kerosene oil last
year the United States was doubtless
trying to light up the dark continent.
American locomotives are going to At
RIGA in such numbers that the conti-
nent cannot much longer be called
slow. Ivory, an ancient source of At
rica's wealth, is becoming so scarce
that earnest efforts are now making
to preserve the herds of elephants
from wanton slaughter. What wonders
modern commerce works!

KR UGER's STAY IN EUROPE.
The Boer Ex-Pre-ident VIII Probs bly,

Paris, Oct. 29.-Dr. Leyds. tie
Transvaal agent, said with reference
TO the plans of former President
Kruger: Most of the stories publish
ed upon the subject are imaginative.
Mr.. Kruger will land at Marseillss ami
] shall go to meet him But it is not
true that, | have seen NJ. Delcasse,
the French minister of foreign af-
fairs, or that ! am in any way ar
ranging a reception which will be en-
tirely in the hands of the French
themselves.
Nothing as yet has been definitely
decided upon as to the details of Mr..
Kruger's stay in Europe. But Mr..
Kruger is an old man and not accus-
TONED to cold climate, so IL is likely
be- will sojourn in the neighborhood
of Nice for the winter. I have no
reason to believe there is any ground
for the statement that Mr.. Kruger
intends to visit President Mckinley

MAY DEFEAT COUSINS.


Marshalltown, Oct. 24.-Political
complications have developed in
Marshall county that may defeat
Congressman Cousins for reelection
in the Firth district. The republic
ans last fall elected DR.. Lierle as
coroner. He failed to qualify before
the first Monday in January, as re-
quired by the code. The board of
supervisors passed resolutions on the
Sd of January that hold-overs must
qualify by the 10th. Lierle com
piled on the 18th. The democrats
claim that by virtue of the ltutes
and the boards action, vacancy was
created in that office, which must be
filled at the coming election. They
have filed papers nominating DIR.
Brady, but the republicans failed to
file nomination papers for that of.
fee. The county auditor refuses to
place Brady's name on the ballot,
and the democrats have served no.
tice that they will challenge any re.
publican ballot presented, alleging
it to be illegal, but will permit demo
Gratis to vote unchallenged. If thi.
action il sustained by the courts
Congressman Cousins will probably
be defeated, as the other counties in
the district. with the exception %
Marshall and Linn, are close.

DUN SULTAN TWICE A MONTH.
United states to make Persistent Effort
to Collect Had Debt.

Washington, Oct. 29.-While Uncle
Sam is doing everything in his power
10 collect from Turkey his bill fer
damages done to the property of the
American missionaries, no move has
yet been made TO send a fleet of war
ships to Constantinople to collect
these claims at the muzzle of the
guns of the navy. Furthermore it is
not believed that such vigorous meas
ures will be necessary, but that the
Gultan can be prevailed upon to pay
by more pacific means.
The revenues of the Turkish gov
eminent are already parceled out in
such way that the sultan himself
has little to do with handling them,
and some of the custom houses of
turkey are in the hands of represent
iatives of European governments.
For these reasons it would compli-
cate matters greatly if feet of Uni
ted States warships should stop at
Constantinopie and demand settle
ment.
Consequently Charge d'Affarirrs
Griscom at Constantinople has been
instructed to treat the sultan and his
government in the light of n bal
debtor and he has been directed 10
call upon the government officials on
the first and fifteenth of each month
and present the claim.
This course will be pursued until
the sultan grows tired of being i'm
portunesl and pays the claim and
gets rid of his persistent creditor.
