"A prominent Iowa Baptist has
volunteered to build chapel on the

ing class rooms adjoining to cost

BY decision of the state railroad
commission, the town of LIE Grand,
Marshall county, partially wins its
case against the Northwestern rail-
road. LIE Grand is -fourths of
a mile west of the Northwestern pas
senger station. There is at times
impossible wagon road between town
and the station. The commission
compromises it by requiring the road
to move the station 800 feet nearer
town, put in a telephone between
town and the station and establish
it's freight depot in town, and con-
tribute $500 to building a passable
road between town and the passen-
ger station

The presence of mind of a young
man at Monroe undoubtedly saved
the lives of five young people. A
party of eight boys and girls went
skating on pond and two of the
girls skated into an air hole in the
ice into water twelve feet deep.
Three of the boys, not thinking there
was danger, jumped in to rescue the
girls. Bert Jarnagin was the only
one left to save the five. He lay fiat
on his stomach and grabbed them
one at time as they came up and
by hard struggle saved them all.
If he had jumped in they would all
have drowned.

The Greek Indians, who are now
on the warpath in Indian Territory,
belong to the Greek nation, which is
one of the so called Five Civilized
Tribes. That several hundred of
them have armed themselves and
are looking for trouble is further
evidence of the we'll known truth
that an Indian can never be any
thing else but an Indian" 1t is re-
corded that in 1920 there were 1000
Greeks, but they have been gradual
ly losing numbers and in 1890 had
but IA 800 people in their tribe.

Sent 20 EIdOra

Elmer Hartgraves, a lad of about
IA years of age, was sent to the In
dustrial school at lEldora Tuesday
afternoon upon the order of Judge
Scott. The lad had been found gull
ty of persistent pilfering and appro-
priating things that did not belong
to him. The case was first brought
before Squire Ross and then taken
to Judge Scott. There was some tes-
timony listened to by the court and
then the father was sent for and his
opiuion was sought, with the result
that the lad was sent to the school in
the effort to separate and save him
from influences that have worked to
his disadvantage.

-Bryan's paper, the Commoner,
has appeared. The paper is of eight
pages, three columns to the page,
slightly larger than the ordinary
magazine, and of good typographical
appearance. The longer editorials
start on the first page and continue
through to the fourth, which is de-
voted to short paragraphs on public
questions. There are a few. contribu-
tions and little reprint, but the great
er part of the matter is Mr.. Bryan's
own writings.

The HERALD is in receipt of a
bound volume of the annual report
of Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of
the Department of Agriculture, for
1900. In it Mr.. Wilson pays Con-
gressman Lacey, of this city, hand
some compliment. He says:
IA short time before the close of
the year assigned to this division
all matters relating to the importa-
tion and preservation of birds con-
templated by the act of congress
known as the Lacey act, which went
into effect May %, 1900. This act
gives the department large powers
and responsibilities, and the object,
as expressed in the first section, is,
To aid in the restoration of such
(game and other wild) birdsin those
parts of the United States adapted
thereto where the same have become
scarce or extinct, and also to regu-
late the introduction of American or
foreign birds or animals in localities
where they have not heretofore ex-
isted.' In my last annual report at
tention was called to the necessity
for legislation restricting the intro
duction of noxious animals and birds
from abroad, and l am gratified to
report that in the Lacey Act congress
has absolutely prohibited the impor-
tation of the English sparrow, mon
goose, startling, flying fox and such
other species as may be declared in
furious to agriculture, and has also
prohibited the shipment of such spe-
cies from one state to another. 1t is
believed that this law will afford the
United States greater protection
against the introduction of injurious
animals and birds than is enjoyed by
any other country.
Congress has also authorized the
Secretary of Agriculture to adopt
such measures as may be necessary

THE TAY FERRET.

The effects of the operations of the
tax ferret law adopted by the last
general assembly are apparent in the
reports from the counties now com
ing in to the auditor of the state. The
code requires the county auditor to
make a semi-annual settlement with
the state and to carry out this re-
quirement, reports are made to the
auditor of state showing the col
lections of state taxes for the six
months ending January l, and June
1, of each year, and other facts re-
lating to the state revenues. The re
ports for the last half of the year 1900
are now coming in. About half OF
the counties are heard from already.
There is scarcely an instance in which
an increase of collections for state
purposes is not shown. The county,
of those that have made the reports,
having the largest increase of state
taxes in the last six months, through
the operations of the tax ferret law
is Floyd county. The amount of taxes
belonging to the state collected
through the tax ferrets there, wat

ed and saluted as Queen, the news
of the Kings death was brought to
this country by the packet ship st.
James, hailing from London, and did
not reach New York until forty-five
days after the event. Contrast that
tedious delay with the posting of
physicians bulletins and state proc
lamations in America, Australia and
India almost before the ink with
which they were written at Osborne
or London was dry!

Another gold boom has "busted. "
Professor Calvin, the state goelogist,
received lately a sample of the gold
reported discovered in the we'll OF
Henry Terlinfen, of Klemme, Iowa.
Prof. Calvin has completed his anal
ysis of the metal that has caused the
excitement and the rise in farm
values around Klemme and finds it
to be brass, which was probably
ground off the pump valve while the
honest hotelkeeper pumped his gold
mine.

genuine article. The Medical Record
says that "la grippe, all things con-
sidered, is the most insidious and
dangerous of diseases which attacks
civilized mankind" No specific for
the malady is known, and, as the
disease takes so many forms, it can
not be treated ON general principles
and each case must be made spec

that the reign of Queen VII toria has

after all a monarchy has it's com

of weakness or folly or both, to us,
but universal reverence for personi-
fed authority is not in itself anything
to be sneered at. Here in America
too many of US go to the other ex-

in America, often goes to such lengths
that there exists no respect for the

"Iowans are carrying more cur
rency in their pockets than they ever
carried about them BEFORE" af1frms
the Davenport Democrat. They do
this SO as to be able to put down the
spot m oney when they see anything
they want, and their eyes are resting
on such things all the time. A great
deal of trading is done every day in
every county in the state. A Daven-
port banker told the writer that he
couldn't satisfactorily account for all
the money that is coming to town
and seeking a safe place of deposit,
but he was sure of one thing and this
is that the money has been honestly
earned and otherwise acquired.

stop put to the murder Of one man
by another under the na1ae of battle !;
should like to see the profession of

another under the name of battle?'

Small BIaZes,

There were couple of small fires
in the city this morning but no mat
erial damage was done at either.
The fire company was first called
to the home of John Swayze at 41O
South First street. A defective fiue
had caused blaze but willing neigh
bors soon put out the fire with
buckets and the assistance of the fire
company was not required. There
was another blaze at the same place
Sunday morning.
Fire number two was at the resi-
dence of Allen w. Pyle, 500 corner OF
West Third avenue and d street.
This fire originated in the roof and a
hole about two feet in circumference
was burned. The bucket was also
used here to advantage.

True Economy

The difference of cost between
good and poor baking powder
would not amount for a fanily's
supply to one dollar a year.
The poor powder would cost
many times this in doctors bills.
Royal Baking Powder may cost little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
wholesome food. In fact, it is more
economical in the end, because it goes
further in leavcning and never spoils
the food.
Royal Baking Powder used always
in making the biscuit and cake saves
both health and money.
