Dr.J. w. Mather is in receipt of a
letter bearing date of October IL, 1901,
from M. L. Menard, of Belle River,
Ontario, the breeder of blooded horses
from whom he purchased Glenbrino, in
which occurs this remarkable statement,
in which horsemen will be deeply inter.
ested: II have bred Glenbrino to three
mares proved in foal, and have three
finest colts in this section. There would
be no trouble in getting 40 or so mares
at $50. if the horse, was here, after seeing
the colts. l sold one to- man in Bel.
mont. Took first prize at Toronto fair,
and was sold to man in New York City
for $500. So this shows good for Glen
brino's breeding.
Comment is unnecessary. Facts are
stubborn things. The letter is in the
possession of the doctor, and is open to
all. Drop into his Office and see and be
convinced.
The colt sold for $500. was only two
years old. Mr.. Hy Ewing, Of Davis
City, has one of Glenbrino's colts only
four months old, for which he was
refused a hundred dollars.

News comes from New York City that
Corse Payton has just bought lot at
l23d street and Lexington avenue for
100000, and will erect $3.50, 1000 thea.
ter on it. He already owns and oper-
ates the Lee avenue theater in Brook.
Ign, the pioneer of cheap play houses in
that city. Payton used to travel over
Iowa with the Spooner family, of
Centeryille, in melodramic productions.
Cecil Spooner's dancing made her quite
famous in this state before she branched
out on the metropolitan stage. The
father and his two daughters, Cecil and
May Spooner, and their company in
GLIDING Payton, used to make weekly
stands at the lower priced theaters in
Des Moines and one night stands in the
country towns of the state. Whether
they are reaping their share of the good
fortune which Payton seems TO have
acquired, is not known in Iowa.-Des

ship, went to Ramah, Colorado, to visit
his brothers Few and Julian. He stayed
with them until the next spring when
he went farther west in the same state
and secured lucrative and responsible
position with railroad company.
Neither his brothers or his parents who
were at that time living heard from him
until the late fall of the same year when
[ his brother Lew received letter from
him which was answered at once.
Nothing further was heard of him until
1892 when conductor on a street car in
Denver who was we'll acquainted with
all the brothers met him on his car and
talked with him during his entire trip,
but not knowing he was lost did not
make any special inquiries as to his
location Or occupation, but stated that
during the five years since he had last
seen him he had changed from slender
consumptive to rugged robust man,
we'll dressed and of fine appearance.
The brothers Julian and Lew, are promi-
nent ranchmen and business men OF
Colorado and have an extensive &C.
quaintance over the entire state and
since 1892 have made continued and
extensive inquiries and search for their
lost brother without success. Since 1892
no word has been received from him
direct or indirect and he seems to have
utterly faded away.
If living he is about 48 years Of age
and when he left home there was not a
more upright honorable man living.
Without single bad habit, was rather
of a retiring disposition and was indus.

disappearance his father and mother

Unless a Decatur county farmer is
going out of business or intends to
leave the state, isn't he just little
foolish to sell his farm? He may get q
big price-so big compared with what
he paid few years ago that it il very
tempting-but what of 1t? When he
goes to.buy again he will find that he
will have to pay big price. There is
no SENSE in swapping dellars-or Iowa
farms. If you have got good farm
stick to it. 1t is more reliably profit
able than gold mine.

The pig is no doubt eat and the son is
beat, and for the life of him he can't
find out who it was that did the stealing.
The pig was almost too large to call by
that name. 1t was "hawg", as Bill
Nye would say, and it was making its
home at the farm of J. A. Penick, west
OF town, as the property of Lax
Penick. The thieves not only abduM
it, hide, hair and lard, but killed \

There are some parties in this county
who think they are divorced but they
are not. The legal foYmalities before
the court were gone through but many
have failed to call at the county clerks
Office and pay the costs. One case came
up short time ago. A couple applied
for license but it was known the WON.
az in the case had not paid the costs and
the clerk gently reminded her of the
fact. She left and has not returned. If
you are divorced pay the costs or you
are liable to be brought up with sud-

Every farmer ought to have his name
in a conspicuous place on his premises
for the convenience of all who have
occasion to drive through the country.
1t is pleasant to know who lives in the
various places and it would prove a
benefit in various ways. The above is
not new suggestion but it is no less
valuable on that account. Some farm.
ers are afraid it will make them ap.
pear egotistical but such is not the case.
There is no reason Why every farmer
should not display his name on his
premises the same as. residents and NOR
chants do on their village or city prop.
