Per Capita Taxation.

Per Capita axation.
In yesterdays Courier brief mention
was made of the opening of the county
campaign by the socialists, under the
leadership of their county chairman,
N. A. Baker on Tuesday evening. The
attendance was not large, but it is
said to have been earnest and deter
mined. Mr.. Baker, who is to be the
delegate to the state convention to be
held in Des Moines September 5, was
instructed negatively on the state per
capita tax question. Favorable re-
ports were received from the sub-chair-
men throughout the county, and the
county chairman reported that book
containing the constitution of the
party is being printed.
Chairman Baker outlined the char.
acter CT the campaign, saying that no
personal matters will be treated by
the party, and that no "mud-slinging'
will be allowed. Other meetings will
be held during the campaign.

CHARGE OF RIGAMY.
Jos. DageI Arrested and Placed in
Jail

Hedrick, Aug. 21-Jos. DageI, the
brickmason who erected the new build
ings for D. Snakenberg and M. H.Cud-
dy this summer, and who has since
been employed in the erection of the
new bank building at Ollie, was ar
rested here by Deputy Sheriff Moore
for bigamy, and in default of $4,000
bail was taken to Sigourney and plac-
ed in Jail to await the action of the
grand jury.
The complaint was filed by wife No.
l, who came to Sigourney a few days
ago. 1t seems that she was married
to Dagel in Wisconsin about 1884.
They have four daughters. The cou-
pie separated a few years ago, and
Dagel failed to make any contribution
to the support of his children. His
wife lost track of him for some time,
and about fifteen months ago he mar
ried Miss Brolliar, an estimable
young lady of Richland. He worked
at Fremont last year, and was here
this year, where his wife No. 1 heard
of him. She wrote him asking for
help in supporting the family and he
declined to assist her, with the result
that she came to West Chester, where
he has relatives and found that he
was again married, not having taken
the trouble to secure divorce in the
mef Etime. Accordingly she went to
S;gourney and laid the matter before
the county attorneys, with the above
mentioned results.
Wife No. 2 has an infant SON. and
while in Hedrick she made many
friends who deeply sympathize with
her in her trouble. She made every
effort to secure bonds for Dagel before
he was taken to Sigourney, but failed
to do so. AS far as Dagel is concern

That would be a pretty good yield
for this year, wouldn't it?
Now, if / should tell you / have
farm for sale on which the corn will
go so bushels per acre this year. you'd
probably tell me you were from the
state just south of us and had to be
showed"
But if I Showed you" and then told
you it could be bought for $50 per acre,
you would say: ut is worth the
money
I've got one such place, and ONLY
ONE, priced, not at $50, but at $40;
1872 acres of it; fair building; quarter
mile to school.
This is great corn farm. A sure
money-maker for some one.
