tax any Des Moines newspaper pays or
it's plant exclaims the Carroll Herald
1T is the REIMBURSEMENT of taxation that
now enjoys legislation attention, ano
these side lights are intended to con-
fuse the issue. First reach an equitable
basis for taxing these large corporate in

In the opinion of the Algona Republi-

that he is 'wabbly' on the tax ferret and
tariff reform questions"
The Montezuma Republican, is inclined
to oppose uniformity of school books, a
proposition which the patrons of rural
schools in Powshiek county will vote on
March 10. From a financial point of
view," it urges, the matter is fraught
with possibilities that are too important
to overlook. A change is the books of

lars to the patrons of country schools
with no assurance that better grade
of books would be obtained"

THE Iowa legislature has it's hands full

The Hampton Recorder does not APP
prove the plan of making the primary
election bill before the legislature "feX-
ible," that is. so that it is left to the
| counties to choose whether it shall be
adopted or not" The Recorder thinks
This would destroy the effectiveness OF
the law. as the counties that do moi
want the primary law are the very ones
who ought to have it. The only effec-
tive law is one that is compulsory with
no exceptions"

Tracy.

Seattle, Wash. July I7.-Harry
Tracy was at 10 o'clock this morn
ing reported to have been found
and the story of his death was eX-
pected at any moment. Sheriff
Cudihee located the desperate in
lonely cabin, three-quarters OF a
mile from the junction of the
Northern Pacific Palmer cutoff and
the Columbia & Puget Sound road
He was supposed to be there with
two companions.
Cudihee with six guards waited
until 10 o'clock this morning for
Tracy or either of his companions
to come from the cabin. Growing
impatient, the sheriff ordered an at
tack upon the place and the guards
closed in, firing as they advanced.
Not a sound came from the cabin
and when Cudihee cautiously
pushed in the door they found the
place empty. There were eviden>
ces that the house had been inhab,
tied very recently, and it is now
believed that the outlaw and his
desperate companions crept one by
one from their place of imprison>
ment during the darkest hours OF
the morning.
A boat has been reported MISS
ing on Lake Sawyer, not far from
the ravine, and it is almost certain
that the desperate took that means
OF escape.

Still Chasing Train Robbers.

Saguache, Colo, July I7.-Sher'
iff Williams was notified early this
morning by telegram from Zack
Clark's ranch that the posse in
charge OF Deputy Sheriff Churchill
of Salida had found the trail of the
train robbers and followed it all
day. Yesterday they followed the
divide from the scene of the rob>
beIy to the head Of Sharp creek.
The robbers apparently have three
horses that they are now using.
Williams and Clark on fresh hors-
es have joined Churchill and the
officers have been notified that the
robbers are heading for Doyleville.
The bandits are travelling slowly,
keeping on the high range away
from the trail as far as possible and
are apparently in no haste to get
out of the country. They have
done most of their travelling by
night and hiding in the daytime
or they would have been seen by
some of the cowboys who are
ranging the mountains at this seas
son of the year to keep the cattle
from poison weeds. Sheriff Will
liams says that he will take up the
trail and follow it until the robbers
are taken.
Gunnison, July I7.-Deputies
Riley and Clay of this city are in
hot pursuit OF the armed men who
passed Ohio City yesterday. The
course taken is up Ohio creek, over
Cross Mountain pass and into I'm

bandits will go through Taylor
park and over Cement pass toward
Baldwin, Is miles north OF Gunni>
son. Their course will then be an
easy one as they will reach North
Fork valley with few miles travel
and will have smooth sailing to-
wards the Lake mountain towards

thorities in the western counties.

GOOD EXAMPLES OF IRISH WIT

The late Lord Morris was full of le-
gal stories, but the following did not
belong to his budget: A case of as
sault came before a Kerry court. In
the course of it the counsel for the
defense, when examining witness for
the prosecution, asked: And you
say the man who assaulted you is
blind, or is as good as blind?" Yes,
sir. Then how came he to get into
the scrimmage?" well, counsellor, it
wor this way. Wherever he heard the
blows goin' he slipped in, feelin' for
vacancy, and when he found it, he

But you said just now that there
was storm of thunder and lightning
going on at the time" There was so,

darker and darker?" "Thrue for you,

was nearly blind surely the darkness
would have made him quite so?" Not
at all, sir. Contrariwise, every time

will thin; to the best of me rec'llec-
ton they varied in size from a shilling
to eighteenpence,"
This hazy view of the size of drops
of rain is somewhat suggestive of a
drop too much of another sort, and
reminds me of another whose absurd
ity is due to the provision of a drop
too little, or, rather, a drop OF the
wrong sort. A priest who is a total
abstainer was expecting his cousin, a
Dublin solicitor, On a visit, and know
ing that he did not hold the sam
views as himself on the drink ques
ton, went to the village grocer and
ordered bottle of port. This was
duly delivered and decanted by his
reverence.
At dinner time he Hospitality poured
out glass and said: There, Cousir
Tom, that's the best vintage Bally-
poreen affords" The solicitor slipped IL
| critically, and then said: well, Cou
sin Cornelius, to my mind it tastes Z
wee bit too much of the musheruins
