A wild deer passed through the
neighborhood west of town on Monday
of last week. Lee Shields of the Moore
neighborhood, saw him among his cattle
near the house that morning and took a
shot at him with target rifle, but
owing to the small calibre of the gun,
or an attack of chuck ague'' on the
part of the shooter, no harm was done
to the deer. He was a handsome young
buck with fine set of antlers and went
over the wire fences like bird. lie
had also been seen in the neighborhood
east of Pleasantou the day before and
a pacK of hounds had been put on his
track, but he eluded the dogs by run
ming among herds of cattle. 1t was the
first deer seen in this part of the country
for several years.-Linevile Tribune,

INCREASE OF RURAL CARRIERS, PAY.

ton to those who are directly bene-

routes as an act of simple justice of
which they had long realized the pro-

the carriers stipend brings the total

present rates of wages and prices of

THE BATTLE WITH RAILROADS.

The contest between the advocates of
Increased railroad assessment and OPP
posing attorneys of the railways is on
in full force in the Iowa legislature. The
railroads have sent their ablest legal
advisers to combat the plan of increased
valuation. They are inclined to strike

al property be reached and made to pay
their just taxes. This has been the aim
of the people lately, as might be sug
gested by the enactment and enforce
nlent of the tax ferret law. It is now
the aim of the legislature to ascertain
whether the railroads are offenders in
this respect and to hold them to respon-
sibility, and it is hoped that the rail-
road attorneys will not be able to OBJ
scure the issue. In striking back" Mr.
Baldwin alleged that the Des Moines
newspapers were assessed at a ridicu-
iously low figure, as compared with
what is claimed as their true valuation.
Some of these valuations-the Leader
at $4,000 and the Register at 100000
would brighten an investor who was
looking around to purchase a newspa-
per. But this matter is not before the
legislature for determination.
The presence OF railway attorneys is
not necessarily proof that their corpor-
ations are in the wrong. They would be
there in any event to take care of their
interests, and to throw light on their
side of the problem. 1t will be of adj
vantage to the legislators if they hold
to the determination to enact new
measures to require juster and higher
assessment if they are now escaping
their just share of taxation. The t.
r. has faith in the general assembly
and believes it will do what is fair, de-
spite outside influences.

A REEQRMAIoRY EoR MEN.

Iowa has a reformatory for refractory
boys and also one for hayward girls,
and now 1t is proposed in the legisla-
ture to establish one for young men, as
an adjunct to one of the states prisons.
1t is true that our penitentiaries go as
far as their scope will permit in reform
atory work; yet it is planned to estab-
lish a place where the dominant idea
and purpose shall be the reclamation of
those who are yet young enough to yield
to good influences, workshop where
various trades and industries may be
learned. thus enabling them thereafter
to become useful members of society
and law abiding citizens.
The plan proposed by bill intro
duced in the senate, and which meets
with much favor among its members, is
to make the reformatory an adjunct of
the Anamosa prison, SO that prisoners
may be transferred to It, after an in
yestigation and decision in each indi-
yidual case by the board of control 1t
will not be pleasant or desirable task
for that body, but If the duty is imposed
on its members it will be well done. 1t
is also proposed to provide for indeter-
inmate sentences in the penal code, thus
inspiring offenders to do we'll and to Sc
cure their liberty as soon as possible
thru good behavior. Many trades could
be. taught them that would do much to
make them self-sustaining and keep
them out of mischief when released and
thrown out upon the cold, unfeeling
world.
1t is certainly step in the direction
of higher reform measures for those
who might be reclaimed from the Dor
derland of crime. The plan is working
well in New York, where it is claimed
that So per cent have been reformed 1t
will cost something to establish such
but 1t would be money well
expended, and such as would meet the
approval of the people.

In speaking of this case Special
Agent w. II. Teobald said:
1t was only in the last ten days that
l knew this little fellow. Michael Lem
kran. an Austrian Jew, twenty-one
years old, was coming over as a second
class passenger on the kronprin2 Will
helm. l had heard that somebody was
coming over with a large collection of
diamonds from Antwerp. which he
would bring in belt around his waist.
After / had opened the belt and eN-
posed the diamonds to view the little
fellow, in answer to my questions, ex-
planned that a man in Bremen. a per-
feet stranger. gave him the diamonds to
give to his, Leinkran's, uncle in Harlem,
and that he didn't know what he was
bringing to this country.
This is redhanded seizure and is q
godsend to the diamond trade of this
country. Down in Maiden Lane you
will fine Austrian and Polish Hebrews
selling diamonds in the street. and
some of them are thick as thieves with
diamond cutters in Antwerp.
This way of smuggling diamonds is
very compact, indeed. Whe III went
up the gangplank 1 rubbed my hand
down the prisoners back. and, feeling
nothing unusual, thought for a moment
that possibly had the wrong man. This
however, was employed by
Max j. Lasar, whom l caught in 1897,

SMUGGLING IN DIAMONDS.

That our customs officials in New
York are justified in using the strictest
precautions to prevent the smuggling of
dutiable goods into this country is YER
flied frequently by an important seiz-
IRE, such as that which occurred in
New York after the arrival OF the
steamer Kronprinz on last Sunday,
when $4,000 worth of diamonds were
found upon passenger who protested
to have nothing on his person. Sewed
in five small compartments in belt of
monds of the value named. and this belt
was taken from the person of Michael
Leinkran, an Austrian Jew 81 years old
and giving his residence as New York
The Kronprinz is the steamer that
brought over Prince Henry and suite.
Possibly 1t was chosen for passage be-
cause there might be less suspicion
aroused or with the thought that the
honors paid to the prince would divert
attention from him.
According to New York paper when
the steamship landed, Agent Theobald
and Deputy Collector j. c. Williams, of
the customs office, met her at the dock.
They waited until Leinkran and the
rest OF the passengers had made their
declarations concerning dutiable goods
end all their baggage had been exam
ined by the customs inspectors. Lem
kran it Is alleged, made no declaration
of dutiable goods
On one pretext and another Lem
kran was detained until nearly all the
passengers had left the pier. Then he
was arrested. He was taken back on
the steamship. where the treasury
agents examined him. Encircling his
waist under his outer shirt was the
red flannel belt the officers say. This
was about ten inches in width in front
1t was in thickness. The man
was aske4 why he wore that, and he
said 1t was used for physical reasons.

The SENATE PUZZLE.

The United States senate is in a
quandary in regard to the form of pun
ishment to be administered to Pitch
fork Tillman and Reformer McLaurin
of South Carolina. Their democratic
colleagues are trying to shield them
behind the broad claim that the SEN
ate has no right to deprive the sover-
eign state of South Carolina of her
on the floor of that chamber, such as
would occur in the suspension of these
offenders. The republicans have been
urging such suspension, but have
listened to the arguments of democrats
who have contented themselves with
presenting line of reasoning agreea
Bile to their belief. without submitting
convincing proof of their ground.
The fact is, the entire senate would
prefer not to establish a precedent or
record that would have future that
might trouble it.
Inc committee on privileges ana
elections, which now has the case be-
fore it, is composed of twelve members,
oil lawyers save one. and includes some
OF the ablest jurists of the senate. The
public is curious to learn what it may
evolve to meet the difficulty.
The country demands that these two
offenders be punished. AS a southern
democratic paper says, the senate must
purge itself of rutfianism or forever
forfeit the respect of the American
people.
