Several complaints have been made
to The Optic OF the poisoning Of dogs,
IL Is said, at the instance of city au-
thorIties. In one specific case a val
liable spaniel for which the owner
would have refused $500 had in some
way slipped hts collar. The owner
had no wish to violate the law and
would have paid any amount Of fine u
the dog has been impounded, or II
the matter had been brought 70 her
attention. In another instance, where
license had been paid q valuable shep-
herd dog was poisoned. It Is certainly
hard on owners Of fine dogs, who by
some accident become yiolaters OF the
law. that their pets should be poisoned
Even In the case Of unlicensed ca
mines, poison should not be used under
any condition. A little more care In
the matter Of dealing with the dog
question will save many heart burn
ings. for men and women have q way
of getting much attached TO their
dumb pets.

Significant Fact.

The fact that one ~placering machine
In New Mexico cleared owe 1905 900
during the past fiscal year is signi-
flcant. 1t shows what can be done N
New Mexico with the right methods
applied at the right spot. The fact
that there are quite a number Of
mines In New Mexico which have
produced handsomely, some OF them
far in excess OF a million dollars, indi
Gates that there are other minins
claims that would yield just as hand
somely. II takes capital and intelli
gence to make a G OF an average
mining proposition although once y
awhile a prospector has a FOOLS luck
But the application Of science changes
success In mining from luck to a com
mcrcial certainty.

Health is magnet which irresistibly
draws the man to the woman in life's
mating time. Health does more than
tint the skin with beauty; it puts music
into the voice and buoyancy into the
step, as well as happiness into the heart:
A great many women covet beauty and
are constantly seeking aids to beautify
them. Let woman first seek perfect
health and all other charms shall be
added to her.
There can be no general health for
women while there is disease OF the

step to perfect health is to cure womanly
diseases by the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Nevada Representative is not
pleased with the presidents act in
avoiding the role of arbitrator in the
trouble. 1t thinks there is
no doubt that is thus lodging this mat
ter the president followed the prevail
ing sentiment of the country; but we
feel, nevertheless, that his action is to
be regretted" In its view, 1.-THE United
States has assumed and will continue to
assume large amount of responsible
ity for the Spanish American repub-
over them no corresponding authority.
As we view it an opportunity has been
dlsregarded for mending to some eN-
tent this discrepancy.
The Grundy Republican. referring to
the Venezuelan affair, believes 'ths
president and the whole country is bet
ter off without a finger in that little
trouble"
The Davenport Democrat suggests
that "the dollars that pay your debts
today may satisfy the debts Of scores
of other persons before the end of the
month"
"And STILL" remarks the Odebolt
Chronicle. mo republican member Of
either house or senate has introduced a
bill to abolish the duty of 81 cents per
ton on anthracite. And no Iowa news
paper which has been trying to read
Governor Cummins and his friends out
or the republican party has said word
In favor of the abolition Of this duty"
1t is the opinion Of the Tama Free
Press that "nineteen-n naughty three
bids fair to be lead stenuous political
life in Iowa at least"
'"The man who gets mad at what the
newspapers say about him." says the
DEBORAH Public Opinion, Should re-
turn thanks three times day for
what these papers know about him and
do not say"
It is the belief Of the Humboldt In
dependent that any able bodied young
man who is right and earns and gets
from IS to $40 a week can lay up
something, and that there is no sort of
excuse for him if he does not.

Goldfield. Jan. 2.-Recently in the
IRIS Topics of the Times there ap-
neared an account of an operation IN
hosnital on a man who was injured
whila drunk, and week after, when
the surgeons used the knife. he was
still drunk, Meanwhile, the supposition
is that he had been unconscious, ana.
of course. had no chance to "fll up
again. Suggested by this item, read
err tells the following: Some years ago.
in Polk county, a drunken crowd re-
turning from a country dance stopped
about midnight to "charavari" a far
mer living a few miles from Mitchell-
vile In the fracas which followed the
farmer grabbed club and struck one
If the young men on the head render
ing him senseless, in which condition
the doctor found him when ne arrived
tha next morning. The skull OF the
vonne man was Smashed In" and an
operation was decided upon. At the
instant the broken skull bone was l1t-
ed by the surgical instruments, much
to the surprise of every one present,
the patient shouted at the top OF MS
voice, your soul" 1t was evidently
case of arrested language development,
and the explanation was easy, when
the farmer remembered that just as he
was striking the drunken man the lat
ter yelled God damn" So this sem
tence was finished twelve hours after.
Here is chance for an interesting dis
cussion. There are those that believe
in a literal resurrection of the body.
Now. we can easily imagine that this
drunken man might have died before
the doctor arrived. Query, when this
drunken body was resurrected, some
where, some time, some how, would he
have remained unconscious to the end
of time? But another form of question
suggests itself. If our bodies are lit
orally used in another existence, there
is a fair assumption that surgeons Will
be also translated, and possibly use
their skill and knowledge for the bene-
fit of the residents of our future home.
So some such case as these two report
ed ones may come up and need atten-
ton. All this is a warning against
"last words especially If any profani-
ty is INDUCED In.
How we call live from hand to-
mouth" in this country these days is
forcibly brought out by the stories that
are coming in concerning the late
switchmen's strike in Marshalltown.
1t semes that one town in western
Iowa was only lighted by candle pow

ers for the younger children. The prob
lem of transporting children from the
farms to the schools has been solved
by the covered hack conveyance and
mothers have learned by experience
that their little ones are far safer i'll
the school hack for three mile drive
than tramping one mile to the little
school house thru mud and snow and
road.
Consolidation OF rural schools has
been tried in Iowa In twenty eight
counties and the first attempt has yet
to appear which was abandoned after
fair trial. The T.-R. knows OF one
neighborhood in Marshall county in
which the farmers support private
teacher, graduate of the State Nor
NAL school. to provide high school in
struction for children that would other
wise have to leave home for their
schooling. This township is amply
able to support first class high school
and first class teachers for the grades
if all it's districts We're consolidated
and the children transported to and
from the central school at district ex-
pense. Many a township in Ohio and
Kansas support $4,000 township schoo!
buildings. The transportation of chill
dren is easily accomplished at an an.
nual expense of from $3.50 to 5000 per
hack with capacity for 20 passengers
and wherever tried is a pronounced
success. Farmers who love their farm
homes and would keep their children
with them until full grown must con-
solidate their rural school districts AMI
centralize their schools, either in the
small villages of their vicinity or into
the township unit

PROHIBITION AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Mr.. w. Howard, who has been very
busy lately in supplying prohibition lit
erature to the press of Marshall county,
takes as a text for further diatribes
against the republican party Mr.. A. F..
Thayer's criticism of the mulct saloons,
because of the non-enforcement of the
law regulating them. He holds the re-
publican party responsible for such
conditions. 1t must be kept in mind
that Mr.. Towards efforts are inspired
by political purpose fully as much as
by a humane or phi'anthropic spirit,
tho of course the latter may always be
credited to him as enc of secondary
consideration. But in his role as
writer he is politician, writing for
political purposes. Mr.. Howard, who
was a candidate for n state office in the
late election of the party he represents.
would retire the republican party and
supplant it by the prohibition party;
hut few in the state are of his mind, so
few, indeed, that his party is of little
yirile force in the state. The great ma
jcrity regard prohibition failure as
political measure. Their views are
based upon actual trial and dismal
failure of prohibition IN practice and as
q means Of preventing the sale and use
OF liquors.
For this reason tie people, not the
republican party alone, have been led
to modify the law so that the citizens
OF each county may determine which
method they prefer to regulate the traf-
fic. They can have prohibition of the
traffic or sales thru mulct saloons just
as they may determine.
The mass of the PEOPLE, of republic
ans, are not in league with the liquor
traffic, as MIR. Howard would have us
believe; they do not howl in the man
ner Indicated by his articles. They rec
oenize il as an evil Which they can not
wholly eradicate. and therefore one
which they must regulate according as
: the majority may uStSiiHiiSs ~ e.
reign the method of determining
such regulation is to arraign the repub-
lican form of government, not the party
IN mower. The imes-Republican is
conscious of the fact that the laws reg
u.ating the traffic are not suficienuy
enforced. and has repeatedly called at
tention to it. 1t remains for puohc
officials, supported by public sentiment
20 do this work, and rot thru a change
OF power from the republican to the
prohibition party.
In referring to this matter the Times
Republican is aware that it is inviting
s.the food" from the ole-idea partisans
who have but the one issue to absorb
their attention; however, having given
ar Howard hearing the defense Is
entitled to a closing argument.
