the title to the property could be secured
free of membranes.
AS usual, the regular star chamber ses-
sion prevailed, the motion for the same
being made by Commissioner Lott, but
not without protest from Commissioner
Webster, who said the public was en-
titled to know all that was going on.
The session was given over to the legal
status involving the situation, enlighten-
ment being given by County Attorney
Kane, and NJ. d. Mum, attorney for Mrs.
TarboX.
AS nothing could be done until the mix
up has been cleared away adjournment
was taken until Monday, the abstract
title being given over to the county at
torney, who will III the meantime eX-
anime it and report.
Attorney Fitzpatrick, who represents
the bank, admits that the action is
brought to secure, if possible, the por-
ton of the sale money coming to Mrs.
TarboX in order that it may be applied
in wiping out some of the indebtedness
accruing from Mr.. TarboX's failure, but
says that the amount in question is
trivial, only 5000. Other parties may hold
sufficient paper to eat up the balance,
but that is all his client wants.

APPREHENsIvE OF DELAYS.

While both parties are anxious for the
sale, the mortgages, in order that their
claim against the estate may be salts
fed, and Mrs. Tarbox, that she may re-
alize her equity in the property, yet the
entire affair may resolve itself into
muddle. and this is what the COMMITS
Soners are fearful Of
Besides the mortgages there are taxes,
commissions to real estate agents and
bonus to the tenants to satisfy, and the
entire amount might In the end be more
than the price received for the property
from the county, s49,500. In this event
the minor charges might be contested
by the bank, with the result that the
property would be tied up in litigation
and the county debarred from going
ahead with the jail.
While the commissioners have been as
sured by Attorney Mum that his client
will sign the deed and thus give the
county immediate possession and a clear
title, yet there is an unconffrmed rum r
that Mrs. Tarbox is opposed to relin-
gushing her equity in the estate. Under
the attachment, and others that might
follow, Mrs. Tarbox would realize Moth
ing by the transaction, while, If she We're
to wait, the difficulty might be satisfied

Some TyroIean Epitaphs.

A German traveller has discovered
some quaint epitaphs in a Tyrolean
cemetery.
On a tombstone IN a valley of Tux
was this inscriptions: SIN pious re-
membrance of the honest widow An
M Kriedl, forty years long"
A miller is thus remembered: "In
Christian memory of H, who de-
parted this life without human assist
ance."
A farmer, whose initials only are
given, and who appears to have been
the author of his own epitaph, has
this memorial: Here rests in God,
F. K. He lived &c years as man and
81 years as husband
On the tomb of a man who fell from
a roof and was killed are these words:
Here fell Jacob Hosennkopf from
the roof into eternity"
This wall of a desolate husband
caps the climax: ''Tears cannot
bring thee back to life, therefore I
weep."-Househcld Words.

p~erienceA of a quarter of a century d
narrator can say with a great deal OF
~positiveness that the number OF men
in public life who can be made sus-
ceptible to corrupt influences is very
small. This fact is quite well known
to the lobbyists themselves. There
fore it is that they usually put forth
the merits of the n which
they are interested. without attempt
ing to offer corrupting suggestions
There are a few female lobbyists
here, but very few. There was .
time when women fiourished here and
were openly and brazenly known as
having c~orrupting influences upon GER
tain men. 1t is a matter of fact we'll
known to some men yet in public life
that there was a beautiful woman
whose hold upon one public man was
so great that she could sit i'll one OF
the galleries and call her man off the
floor by a signal code even when he
was making a speech. And that man
was known as one of the greatest men

thus lone in the lobbys, they are
called lobbyists.
All sorts of arguments are present
ed by these interested parties to Sc
cure the aid of particular statesmen.
Usually they work in a legitimate
manner It is a popular faIlacy that
public men are Influenced by financial
inducements; but it is true that a few
men can be thus influenced. The writ
er has knowledge of some instances
when men upon the floor of the house
and Of the senate have actually been
retained to favor measures of large in

general rule. For example, when the
Philadelphia mint site lobby vas at

advantage of his position to take ac-

casion, about the same time, a SEN
ator, who's term was about to expire,
occupied the floor of the senate every
day for about two weeks in order to
defeat the railroad pooling bill. More
recently a newspaper man here was
paid a liberal sum for writing a col

assumption that the senator
received a rather large sum for his
vote.

IOWA MANS SUMMARIZED GRAVE
Over Which His Friends Think q
$4,000 Monument should
BE Erected.

There is one unmarked grave in the
Sioux Rapids cemetery" said an old
timer recently, according to a Chicago
paper, lover which Buena Vista county
could we'll afford TO erect a $40, 600
monument. The occupant of this grave
thought so himself, and in his last
hours, while he was being taken care
of by money subscribed by the bust
ness men of Sioux Rapids, he spent his
time c~ursing the county and the
stinginess of it's officers for not fur
nishing him with money or giving him
a pension. Abner Bell was his name.
He would not 60 to the poorhouse.
He had done more for Buena Vista
county and had saved the county more
money than any other one man, and
he thought he deserved something bet
ter than the poorhouse.
BELL claimed to be the first settler
in the county. On the 23d of May,
1856, coming west in company with a
few other settlers, he struck the Sioux
river valley on the present site of Sioux
Rapids, and from hat day until his
death it remained his home. He was
not a settler in the sense that he took
land and became a farmer. That was
not his nature. He never wanted any
land, and never took any. All he want,
ed was good hunting and trapping. His
philosophy was that the word owed
him a living, and he was able to get
it with his traps and gun. In the
early days he lived with his brother
in-law, H. NJ. Weaver, and in connec-
ton with his trapping ran a little
trading post.
"At the close of the civil war there
was a state law passed allowing coun-
ties to issue bonds to pay their sol
diers. Sharpers were on hand to take
advantage of this, and in the north
western counties of the state thou
sands of dollars worth of fraudulent
bonds were issued, for which the coun-
ty never received a cent, but had to paw
them nevertheless. Clay county, which
had two soldiers in the war, issued
$4,000 of these bonds in January. 1865
or 1866. One of these soldiers, Potts
by name, received $500. That was all
that the county ever got out of the is
sue of $4,000.
when the same question came up
in Buena Vista county, Abner Bell was
one OF the members of the board. The
promoters of the scheme soon found
they had no ordinary man to deal
with. As long as Bell was present no
bonds could be issued. If they could
get him to stay away from one meet
ing there would be no trouble. and /
have heard Belf himself say that he
was offered $4,000 if he would stay
home from one meeting. This only
made him the more determined that
no bonds should be issued. 1t was for
this service that in later life h al
ways maintained that Buena Vista
owed him a living. and tina it was to be
better than that afforded by the poor
house."

WAYS OF THE brand BOY.
DiscOuraging Experiences OF a Shop
keeper with a Lad He Was
Trying to Tame.

"Ihe trouble between the small
shopkeeper and his customers" said a
Columbus venue h~aberdasher to a
New York Sun man, sis due in large
measure to the errand boy. 1 know
1 was a boy once, and I don't expect
a boy who works for three dollars a
week to take the anne interest in my
business that l do. But my custom
ers are not so charitable. In fact they
do not even consider the boy. They
kick to me.
"Take that boy of mine for a sam
pie. After a bunch of experiences
with others I hired this one and tried
to tame him by taking an interest in
him. His mother is a poor woman.
One evening when it was raining I sent
him home in a cab. He had told me it
was his mothers birthday, and 1 gave
him a dollar, and a small package of
fruit for his mother.
"Two hours later the cabby came
back and said the boy had stopped on
the way and invested in cigarettes.
and had invited him in to take a
drink. Then the boy tried to bride
the cabby to drive him to a theater,
and when the cabby refused the boy
cursed him and banged his feet
against the doors of the cab.
SAT first I thought of discharging
the boy. But what was the use? I
asked myself. The next boy would do
something worse. I gave the boy a
lecture, not a severe one, but one
which 1 thought would make him sor-
ry. He was a pretty fair specimen of
a juvenile reformer for a week. Soon
after I sent him to my house.
"While he was on his way I called
up my wife and told her to give him
a lunch. She did so. He ate like a
hired man. Then be put up a pitiful
story about his mothers illness. Ny
wife gave him half a dollar to take
to his mother. AS he passed out of
the house he met my son, who is sew
eral years younger than himself, and
persuaded him to go along. My own
boy went home sick and confessed
that he had been smoking cigarettes
with pops messenger boy, who had
spent the money which my wife gave
him.
"Al1 that time several packages for
my ~uStOIlerS we're WdlI1np 10 De Qo-
livered. One of the packages was de-
livered so late that the man refused
to receive it. The goods came back.
I lost a customer. I am not saying
that this boy is any worse than the
average boy who is employed to run
errands. I have had trouble with d
lot of 'em. Each boy has his particu-
brand of c~ussedness. Each one
forms the acquaintance of other,
in the neighborhood and they
form a trust on loafing.
"We can't employ men to u err
rands. Our business requires us to
hire cheap boys. You can philosophers
all you please. but you can't make a
three-dollar-a-week boy believe that
there is any future for him. Sufficient
unto the day is the sun and substance
of his existence. And so the small
tradesman is at the mercy of this
urchin. We have to submit"
The tradesman had a call on the
telephone. After putting up the re-
he continues:
"That was a ring from the police
station. They've got my boy locked
up for breaking the window of a Chi
nese laundry. I've got to get him out
because 7 have SIX packages here
awaiting delivery"
