synopsis of the Laws conferring
Powers upon the Society as
well as Us Duties.

A State Board known as "The West

mails was established by act Of the
legislature in 1899. This board con-
sists Of four members appointed by
the governor. 1t has power to appoint
such agents and officers as itmay deem
necessary to carry on its work.
The powers and duties of anOfficer
appointed by the state board are, in
brief, as follows:
He may take charge of children un-
der sixteen years OF age who are vol
unfairly surrendered by their parents
or guardian to the custody Of said
board.
He may present toa judge of cir
cult court petition setting out the
abandonment, neglect, or cruel treat
ment by parent or guardian of achild
under IA years OF age; or, the unIltness
OF the parent or guardian to continue
the custody Of such child; or thatsuch
child is perpetually sent out or per-
mitted to beg in public places. Then.
upon order of the judge, the humane
officer may take charge of said child
until further order Of a circuit court
or Judge thereof in vacation.
He may make complaint to Justice
of the peace against any man who
wilfully neglects, fails, or refuses to
provide for hiswire or minor children.
He has the same power as shcritfs
and COZ stables TO make arrests and
preserve the peace.
He may interfere to prevent cruelty
to any animal or person in his presence
and any person who shall interfere
with such agent in the discharge Of
his duty is liable TO fine and imprlson-
ment.
He may take charge of any animal

He may take charge OF any animal
found abandoned. neglected, or cruelty
treated.
Hemay, upon the advice and written
certificate of Two citizens, destroy any
animal in his charge that is injured:

The Telegram desires to call atten-
tion particularly TO the needless cruel
ty to animals that is seen every day
Horses and mules are repeatedlyOver
loaded, overdriven, and overrlcden
and are beaten numerically because
they are physically unable to perform
the tasks that are forced upon them
The punishment for this sort Of in.
humanity is severe. A few pr&ecu
tions would tend to lessen the mum
Der of oflenscs. 1t is to be hoped thai
our best citizens will make it APPOINT
to report such ofTenSeS to the humane
officer or to Il Justice Of the peace, ii
order to break up these barbarous
practices.
We have statute that provides

Through trains from Des Moines to

ton on the Burlington railroad is re-

stretch of track from this city to
Tracy where connections will be made
with the Abba branch of the road.
This is another step in the scheme
for greater Oskaloosa and is firmly be
lieved by the people of this city, judg-
ing from surveys made in this vicinity
and from other facts that lead even
the most casual observer to believe
that something is up. The matter is

Burlington surveyors have been in
