of the state where a similar investlga-

contest the claims made by the county,
and many of these cases will be viewed
in the light of test cases that may have
a bearing on similar cases that may de-
velop in other parts of the state One
point that will be strongly defended
will be that the county has no claims
for back taxes that ante-date the legal
izing of the ferret business by the legis-
lature One of these cases has just been
tried and resulted in the defendant
proving he was resident of the county
for but one year. and as a result he will
have to pay the county one years taxes

FALSE TEACHINGS.

The editor of the Pella Chronicle
should have the Chicago American
cut from its exchange list, or at least
quit using it as a model. Its teach
ings will not 60 among the people of
Iowa, especially when there is not
semblance of truth in them. After
devoting a column to a.defence of
the long dead and buried silver ques-
ton, the Chronicle blossoms out into
screed that walks on the verge Of
anarchy, and sets up claims in which
there is no truth and for which there
can be no defence. Out of the article
in question the part quoted below is
enough to show how far good man
may be led astray by associating
with yellow journals.
"No time in the history of the
United States since the revolutionary
war has the country been in such a
deplorable condition for the common
people. We do not mean to chew
over the "political mush" going the
rounds of the press, but speak from
the observations of those who have
witnessed the terrible conditions in
the east. Iowa is a spot on the globe
of civilization that should shout for
ioy in having the crops she has.
WhileIwe prosper to certain extent
many other states are falling lower
and lower in the scale of plenty.
Thousands upon thousands in the
east are walking the streets of cities
with no work and are almost on the
point of suicide or lingering death,
and these conditions will not be long
in reaching the west. 1t is high time
every American citizen should begin
to study out solution for the life of
this generation and instead of listen
ing to political scamps who are pro-
fitting by your vote and assistance to
put your children and their children
into chains of bondage, or to be the
cause of them having to shoulder
musket in defence of their rights as
American citizens which would be a
disgrace to our country

THE CUMMTNS' MEETING.

The opening of the local campaign
in this city Saturday afternoon by
Iowa's next governor, the Hon. A. B.
Cummins, was quite an auspicious
occasion. A representative crowd
was present from all parts of the
county and the opera house was filed.
Mr.. Cummins In his address stated
that ten years ago he had opened
the campaign at about the same time
and in the same house but under
different circumstances and condi-
tions. This year there was an air of
satisfaction prevalent upon all sides
and so apparent was the fact that
the people in general were perfectly
satisfied with the times that it seemed
almost mockerv to expect that there
would be the interest in the cam
paign that has marked similar occa-
sions in former years. The.sad occur
rences of the past few weeks have
left an impress upon the public mind
that will not give place to politics.
All people irrespective of party affili-
ations have been moved and touched
as never before and campaign work
seems strangely out of place. Mr..
Cummins therefore made his address
along more general lines and gave
little time to actual politics. In open
ing he paid his respects to Mr..
Phillips letter of acceptance which
appeared in the press of the state
Saturday. He remarked that the
gentleman had evidentIy.been travel
ing on Iowa passenger trains and had
taken note of the warning to be seen
at the entrance of the coach. "It is
dangerous to stand on the platform. D
Mr.. Phillips has taken this warning
so much to heart that be has
