alleged attack upon this company made
by Mr.. George l.. Dobson. We have
no disposition to injure any one, but the
unwarranted and misleading attack OF
Mr.. Dobson compels us to state the
facts. Ruring the last term as secre-
tary of state Mr.. Dobson was also pres
ident of this company. The public
criticisms of his official conduct We're
humiliating to us. and many of our
agents and friends besought us to
choose another president. Upon the
other hand, Mr.. Dobson expressed re-
peated1y his desire not only to remain
as president. but also, upon the termi-
nation of his Office as secretary of state.
to enter active service Of the company
as one of its managing officers. The
directors of the company We're of the
unanimous opinion that he did not have
the qualifications necessary for such a
position, and declined to employ him,
but Mr.. Dobson continued to urge his
claims, and finally, at the beginning OF
1902, when the arrangements for the
ensuing year were being made, again
sought place in the Office of the COM
pany. even at a salary much below
what he had expected the year before.
The directors were still of the unani-
nous opinion that the company would
be better off without Mr.. Dobson's SER
vices, and decided again and finally not
to retain him. He then commenced
urging the sale of his stock in the COM
pany and to find fault with its man
agement. He semes to grow more vim
dictive from day to day. Mr. Dobson's
criticisms date from his disappoint-
ment, and are false and misleading, and
not entitled to any more credence than
the grumblings of any other disgrun-
tied man. 1t is true he sold his stock
for 81 cents on It's par value, but he
purposely omits to say that only so per
cent of its par value (s100O00 of the
100000 in cash) is paid in, and that
the sale of his stock at 81 cents par
value is, in fact, 1872 per cent of it's
paid up value, or profit to him Of 81
per cent on the amount his stock cost
him. This is certainly conclusive proof
that the management of the company
is successful and conservative and that
his conduct is born of disappointment
and bitterness. We have never claimed
at any time since Mr.. Dobson's retire
ment that he was still connected with
the company in any way. We have
never desired to. We prefer to have the
public know that we have nothing to do
with him. We regret that he was ever
connected with us in any capacity, and
the publication of Mr.. Dobson's attack
affords us at least the satisfaction of
knowing that the public is now conclus-
lively advised that he has not and will
not hereafter have anything whatever
to do with the National Life & Trust
Company or it's management Mr.. Dob
son approved of this company, its
bonds. its policies, and the plan and
management. until we retired him.
The company is better and stronger to-
day than ever before, and the little
ripple in the ocean of our progress
made by Mr.. Dobson as he drops out of
sight will leave no froth on the prov of
the good old National ship as we move

A rather informal dedication of the
new postoffice building occurred on last
Wednesday evening just after the ever
ing mail had been distributed. me
elegant new office was crowded to the
doors and Postmaster McCord took ad-
vantage of the occasion to ask the pa
irons of the office to make every error!
to keep the new building in the best
of order and to observe the rules
against smoking. Attorney c. o. Nc
Lain, G. F. Rinehart, Senator Maytag
and O. c. Merdith were all called on
and made short addresses. Mr.. Maytag
has certainly built postoffice build
ing in which the whole town can take
great pride. 1t is metropolitan IN
every respect and credit to it's builder
and the town.
Hubbard.
A report comes to the Monitor that
some of the farmers in this vicinity are
losing their cattle with fits. VIII
Langford lost two head this week and
one of the Ellers lost sixteen. Shortly
after the cattle We're turned in the
stalk fields they were affected with
bowel trouble and from that the dis
ease turned to fits. All sorts of rem
edies have failed and death, so far, has
been certain where the animal was
thus affected. - e. d. Thompson
was down to Missouri last week IN
quest of corn. He finds plenty of good
corn in southern Iowa and Missouri
at 3S cents per bushel, but the ex-
pense of shipping it here will make
it cost in the neighborhood of 90 cents
per bushel, which would make feed
ing too expensive considering the price
Of cattle and hogs.

Webster City.
An interesting character was the
guest of several travelling men at the
Wilson Tuesday and Wednesday. 1t
was no less a parsonage that Capt.
Heinrich S. du Toit, of Pretoria, South
Africa, and most interesting char
acter he proved to be. He served in the
entire Boer-B British war and carries the
scars Of so bullet wounds received
while in the service of the little Dutch
Republic. He is educated in four
languages and is a wonderfully bright
and polished gentleman. He converses
in excellent English and his descrip-
tons of some of the engagements dur
ing war with Great Britain are very
graphic and thrilling. He reached this
country in October and will return
about Feb. 1st, his mission here being
to study our improved methods of
farming.

The Herald says: The saloon pc
tition was not filed, owing, it is al
legged to an insufficiency of names
Some say that the deficit was no more
than two, while others place it as high
as six or seven. If the list were exam
ined it might be found that the de-
ficit were considerably greater, but it
is certain that the attempt to secure
open saloons came much nearer sue
cess than was deemed possible before
the petition was circulated. 1t is ru-
mored that another attempt will at
once be made but this is probably a
fabrication. Certain it is IL the recent
effort, with the paucity of effort that
was made to defeat it, could not sue
coed there is little to hope for as tina
result of another effort in the same
direction in the near future. The town
has been badly torn up for the past
month over this question and it would
seem to be advisable to have good
breathing spell before the question is
reopened and another and certainly a
more holly contested campaign waged.

His Stock.
Samuel Myers. farmer residing two
miles west of LaMoille, had a wolf hunt

got into the yard among the cattle,
causing the animals to be thrown into
great confusion. One of Mr.. Myers
men saw the animal and notified him,
and he succeeded in shooting it before
it had done any damage. 1t was large
