WELLS AND B., c. r. & N

A deal was closed this week where
by Hon. George Wells aisposes of two
tracts of land of about fifty-four acres
each. One piece of this land adjoins
the railroad track on the north at
Wellsburg and has on it the elevator
and other sheds, and the other piece is
on the south side of the track nearly
opposite. The piece of land north of the
track was bought by the Wellsburg
Grain Company, who own and conduct
the only elevator in Wellsburg. The
other piece was sold to j. Peters, ST.,
but a strip of eight feet bordering the
track was reserved by Mr.. Wells. This
was done to punish the railroad COM
pany with whom Mr.. Wells has been
at loggerheadS ever since they refused
to build the depot at Wellsburg on the
site one-half mile farther east given
them by Mr.. Wells. Mr.. Wells owned
all the land in the vicinity of Wellsburg
thru which the railroad extends, and
when the company opposed his wishes
relative to the depot location he sold
them no more than the necessary right
ofway where the depot is now. AS a
result the railroad people have been
Offering Mr.. Wells all sorts of induce
ments to secure as much land on both
sides Of the track at Wellsburg as they
needed. He paid no heed to induce
ments offered, and when he made his
deal this week it was closed so that the
railroad company would be unable to
buy the land he disposed of. The COM
pany want the land for elevator, coal
shed and possibly additional track pur-
poses. BY selling one track to the ele-
vator company the railroad people will
be unable to buy any of this. BY re-
serving eight feet adjoining the railroad
track on the other side, the railroad
people will continue to find barrier
there. 1t certainly looks as tho the B., c.
X. & N. find themselves between ScylIa
and Charybdis at Wellsburg.

hold relics. The man who took the
mortgage it would appear might figure
a little in the category of meanness
also. He wasn't satisfied with having
it cover the common stock of household
| furniture. He had listed the family
relics and even the under clothing OF
the woman and the articles We're eX-
posed on the streets of Charles City
last Saturday and sold to the highest
bidder. In commenting on the trans
action the Press has this to say:
1T takes from this family, composed
Of the mother and three children. aged
I, IL and IA years, everything in the
way of household furniture, bedding,
pillow cases, dishes, everything, and
strips the house bare. There is in this
family the aged mother of this man
Tedman. 20 years old. Mrs. Tedman,
whom we are informed is cultured
Christian woman, is member of the
Methodist church. 1t Is an affair in
which heartlessness and worldly greed
are rivals for mastery. To our notion
of justice, mercy and fairness it is in
formally damnable. These are strong
words. but no others come to our mind
that better express the situation, and
the statute that permits it would allow
the merchants heart to be torn out for
the pound of flesh and the man who
permits this cruelty to be inflicted on
his family deserves to be publicly
whipped.
I'VE are told that he got some one
to endorse his note for 5000 and got
the money and skipped and the family
have not heard from him for week or
ten days.
There should be no law-call it by
what name you please-that permits
another to take clothing or food from
woman or child.
"As we close this article word reaches
us that the family, including the aged
grandmother, are sitting on the steps
outside their pillaged home. grief
stricken and not knowing what to do
next. Now is the time when the Chris
tan and humane and Good Samaritan
people of our city can and should do ii
little home missionary work that they
know will be deserved and effective"
The appeal in the above to the people
of Charles City was not in vain and
the Press in later edition tells of
fund of more than 5000 being raised
there in one day for the relief of the
destitute family.
The cry brought out by this exhibit
ton of cold cruelty and neglect on the
part of .heartless and seemingly
worthless husband is for change in
the chattel mortgage laws of Iowa-a
change which will make it impossible
for a spendthrift reckless head of Il
family God save the markD to rob his
dependent ones. the defenseless chill
dren, even If he can procure the con-
sent of his wife to the transaction per-
hitting such robbery.
Such man as Tedman should be
drummed out of any community where
he makes his appearance, and the Shy
lock who aids him in his schemes, "de-
his pound of flesh therefor,
should receive like treatment.
For the two meanest men Charles
City now holds the palm.

is Tedman and he calls Charles City

travelling man, a man of large g1rth

largely upon his poise and dress to
carry him thru the world. He seems to
have had no other capital, and, accord
