that its editor always makes it clean
enough so that you do not have to
censor it before it goes into the hands
of your family; then should come one
OF the large weekly papers giving the
general news of the world, which are
now furnished so very cheaply; in
place of this, one may well substi-

rural mail route is available. Next
should come at least two good agri-
cultural papers, not papers published
a thousand miles away, but such as

vailing where you live; we should
then add one of the good magazines
of the day and a ladies' journal for
the wife and girls, and by writing to
the state experiment director you can
have all of the bulletins of the sta

EASTON CASE AFFIRMED
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES 1T
Decision Handed Down Friday Morn
ing. Will Probably be Appealed
to U. S. Supreme Court.

Last Friday morning the Supreme
Court of the state of Iowa handed
down it's decision in the case of the
state of Iowa VS.. James III. Easton,
affirming the decision of the lower
court, by whom Easton was sentenced
to five years in the state penitentiary.
The case is so well known to our peo-
pie that description of its course is
unnecessary. This action is probably
only step in the course of the law,
and it is believed that the case will
now be appealed to the Supreme Court
of the United States, which tribunal
will finally decide it, and unless it is
made ofspecial precedence it is likely
that it will not be reached by that
body before two or three years. The
people of the county will be glad when
the case is finally disposed of.
A nominal appeal bond in the sum
of $500 was imposed by the supreme
court and the case will be appealed at
once Oral argument for the defense
was made before the court by Atty. III.
I. Reed, of Cresco.

The presentation of the opera "The

the Grand opera house last Wednes-

Miss Nora Riley, assisted by Mr.. Wal

public library association, was witnes-

purpose of its presentation and the fact
that it had been noised about that it
would be something pretty fine made
all anxious to see it, and it seldom
occurs that as enthusiastic an audience
greets an entertainment of this nature.
We have not the space for criticism of
each part, but taken altogether it was
without doubt the best home talent
production that has been given in De-
corah in many years. Each and every
one who participated seemed especially
diligent in endeavoring to make it a
grand success, and the result was that
there was not a skip or miss in the
entire program. The audience showed
its appreciation of the opera by fire.

1t was given him after Washington's

FRED FUNSTON'S PROMOTION
General Macarthur Suggests Rank
of Brigadier General.
AGUINALD0 ISSUES ADDRESS,

Washington, March 30.--A cable
gram received at the war department
from Macarthur tells in succinct
way the history of Aguinaldo's capture.
1t gives all the credit to the brilliant
exploit to General Funston, whose
reward IL suggests should be that of
brigadier general in the regular army,
and finally closes with an expression
of confidence in the speedy cessation
Of hostilities as result Of the capture.
General MacArthur's dispatch closes
with this: II hope for the speedy
cessation Of hostilities throughout the
archipelago as consequence of this
stroke, and as q result OF the confer
ence now in progress. Aguinaldo will
issue an address advising general
surrender, delivery of arms and an
acceptance of American supremacy"
General Wheaton recommends Fun
ston's retention in the volunteers until
he can be appointed a brigadier general
in the regulars.
When captured, Aguinaldo was
tremendously excited, but he claimed
down under General Funston's assur-
ance that he would be well treated
General Funston secured all of Aguin-
aldo's correspondence showing that he
had kept in close touch with the sub
chiefs of the instruction in all parts
of the archipelago. 1t was also dis
covered that Aguinaldo on January 9S
had proclaimed himself dictator.
Representative Long has been in
consultation with Secretary Root. The
old difficulty met him; that of causing
discord in army circles by displacing
officers in line for promotion by rails
ing volunteer officer to the rank OF
brigadier general in the regular army.

Geronimo, the insurgent leader in the
province of Morong, has surrendered
with six officers, forty-six men and fifty
rifles to Colonel j. Milton Thompson,
of the Forty-Second regiment at San
Mateo.
AS the news of Aguinal los capture
spreads throughout the archipelago
the insurgents are growing disheart-
ened and there is a marked increase in
the number of individual surrenders.
General Cables, who is particularly
outlawed on account of his atrocious
crimes, sent an emissary to General
Bates, who answered that he must sur
render unconditionally and stand
there

General Funston's exploit was one

talk about West Point influence
is all bosh. If any such statements
have been made that graduates of
West Point or men who have risen
from the ranks will oppose Funston s

of disappointed officers. No good Off
