out of a population of twenty thousand there are only fourteen persons Of for eign percentage and very few colored people. In this country, which is in the heart of the great Appalachian chain, Marshall, the county seat, and the lar gest town, has BIT inhabitants, most of whom are engaged in cutting timber. Walnut, poplar, wild cherry, oak and birch trees grow to great size. The creek is only large enough to float the logs to the river for few weeks in the spring, hence it is necessary to move the sawmills from place to place. The mountaineer cuts the trees, trims them and hauls the lumber to the nearest railway station, for which he receives fifty cents day and if he furnishes his own team he gets a dollar.
 F Ninety-six per cent. of the popula- tion live upon their own farms, and raise enough chickens, corn, wheat, po- tatoes, turnips and other vegetables for their own use, with a little tobacco. There are only thirty-five hundred horses and mules in the county and only sixteen thousand head of other live stock, according to the last census for population of more than twenty thou- sand. The total valuation of property is $1,505, 731, or an average of $S65 per family and SIP per capita of the popu- lation. The total expenditure for school purposes is $6,S18, which is an average of ninety seven dollars for each school, or thirty cents per capita of the total population, sixty-four cents per pupil per month, and three cents and two mills per pupil per school day,
 There are 4,207 males of voting age and thirty -eight out of every one hun dred are unable to read or write. Most of the remainder can scarcely read their ballots.

A WILDCAT ,, STORY. .

Wildcats" " says an old hunter, '"often show fox-like cunning, and one, I re- member, gave proof of more nerve than I would have been capable of myself under similar circumstances. Six of us, with the dogs, were on the trail of g particularly large and dangerous one. We were crouehing in the bushes when the dogs chased it into a small clearing. There was faint rustling in the leaves
 Ia succession of light, springing leaps, and the great, ferocious looking animal bounded into the middle of the open
 Curiosity kept every finger steady on the trigger. For an instant the cat glanced back in the direction of the hounds, then retraced it's trail a little distance and sprang to the trunk of a leaning tree which had been broken off about forty feet from the ground. h. stead of jumping it, however, as we ex- pected, the cat scrambled around or the underside and crouched on a limb that projected two or three feet, his short ears thrown back and his great, yellow eyes glaring with rage and fear.
 f Up came the dogs in full cry on the trail. When they reached the doubled track they were puzzled, and scattered about over the open, paying Justify
 Finally an old hound scented the trail up the tree and rushed up the leaning trunk, followed by the other dogs. Mo- tionless as a stone, exception the move ment of it's terrible eyes and an almost imperceptible motion of the top of it's bushy tail, crouched the cat on the broken limb. It was a magnificent ex- hibition of nerve and self-control. On. ly the thickness of the trunk was be. tween it and the foremost hound" For moment the dogs paused, baff1ed, then leaped to the ground and started again on the old trail. The cat watched its enemies out of sight, peered cautiously about on all sides for a moment or two

Big Audience Greets New Play at
 Hyperion.
 The first presentation of Owen Wis ter's famous 'Virginian" was greeted last night by an unusually large and enthusiastic audience The play opens with the dance at Uncle Henry's and the audience is at once put in touch with the romantic life on the plains by the picturesque costumes of the cow boys as we'll as by the crude furnish ings of Uncle Henry's prairie home. The management is to be compliment ed on this particular feature as it showed careful and painstaking study of western life-even to the awkward shambling gait of the veteran bronco buster.
 MT. Dustin Farnum, though trifie constrained in the first act, showed a masterly conception of the leading role. looking the part. His love making with the young eastern school mistress was done with great delivery and feeling, while his drawling rendition of the many stron lines of the part both ar tistic and effective. Miss Lucille York made a pretty and engaging heroine. She portrays the role of the reserved New England girl placed in a new, rough, and to her, barbarous environ nent, with intelligent and, at times, great dramatic feeling. Perhaps her strongest scene was that in which she attempts to dissuade the Virginian from fha dI1a1 Her work here WAS de- serving of all the applause it received. MT. Frank Campeau gave strong, l well-balanced portrayal of the western
 renegade, Trampas. Under his treat ment the part gained steadily in dis l tinctness and interest from his first appearance. In no place did he descend to vulgar ranting, and the fact that the
 audience hated him most and cordially l from the start would seem to show that

QUESTION OF FEES
Hardin County Board of Supervisors
Up Against a Legal Problem Of Con-
siderable Interest Regarding Com.
pensation of County Attorney.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Jan. 1O.-The board of super
visors are seeking legal advice in inter-
preting section sos Of the code relative
to the fees of the county attorney. The
present county attorney receives the
same salary as the former county at
torney, viz: $500 a year. Section sos
provides that lin addition to the salary
above provided he shall receive the fees
as now allowed to attorneys for suits
upon written instruments, where judg-
ment is obtained for all fines collected
and school fund mortgages foreclosed,
and his necessary and actual expenses
incurred in attending upon his official
duties at place other than his resi-.
dence and the county seat, which shall
be audited and allowed by the board of
supervisors of the county" The fees
allowed attorneys on such judgments
would be 10 per cent on first 5000 and
s per cent on the next $500.
Now the question for the board to
decide is whether under this section the
county attorney can collect this per
cent of the fines imposed, collected and
turned into the country treasury by the
various mayors and justices In the
county, and in the prosecution and coll
lection of which the county attorney
had nothing to do. 1t is probable that
Judge Evans will be asked for an opin-
ion on this point

Damage Suits Likely to Follow
the Acetylene Gas Explo-
sion at Mapleton
EXACT CAUSE HARD TO FIND
The Plant Had Been in Bad Condition
and There Seems to Have Been Gross
Neslisence-lnquest Holds construc-
ton Company to Blame-Details of
the Terrible Accident.
Special to Tlmes-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Mapleton, Jan. 10.-The verdict Of the
coroners inquest held last night at the
city hall over the two dead bodies of the
victims Of yesterdays gas explosion
was that the said John Mathews and
Charles Bradiield met their death by
the explosion of gas at the acetylene
gas plant of Mapleton owned by the
Western Construction company. and
said gas plant was in a faulty condi-
ton.
The Western Construction Company
is composed of some Sioux City parties
The plant was put up last spring. 1t
has not been in good running order
since the cold weather set in. A strong
feeling prevails against the company
and some damage suits are probable.
The funeral of the two dead men will
be held tomorrow--Charles Bradfield's
from the home of his brother-inl law,
George Hoar, and John Mathews from
the Catholic church. Both men leave
families in poor circumstances. A sub
scription paper for their benefit is go
ing around today, which is meeting
hearty response from all citizens. John
Mathews had resided in Mapleton for
the past fifteen years, was about 40
years old and leaves wife and three
children. Charles Bradfield had lived
here twenty-five years and was about
80 years old and leaves a wife and two
small children.
The most plausible theory advanced
as to the cause of the accident is that
Bradfield, who was at work breaking
ice in the tank with steel pick, might
have struck the steel side of the tank.
creating a spark and causing the ex-
plosion. Mathews was at the manhole
on top of the tank and was blown 100
feet into air, falling on the roof of
barn about fifty feet away. Every bone
in his body was broken and his head
blown off. Bradfield was found at the
bottom of the tank in about six feet of
water not so badly mangled as Ma

Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Jan. 10.-Clinton Is again
stirred up from end to end over the
saloon question and four of the promi-
nent liquor dealers of the city nave
had their places closed by temporary
iniunctions, which will be made per-
manent at the January term of court,
which commences next week. The suits
Of the four persons whose places OF
business were closed, were submitted
to Judge p. B. Wolfe, who, in his
decision, reviewed all the provisions
of the mulct law. After citing the pro-
visions of the mulct law, the court
says:
las interpret the statute and the
construction placed upon the same by
the supreme court, all of the above
and foregoing must be complied with
in order to operate saloon under the
mulct law. With the wisdom Of such
law, the court has nothing to do; that
is matter exclusively with the leg1s-
lature; the court has only to follow
the law as passed by the Legislature
and as interpreted by the supreme
court and that compels me to order .
temporary writ to issue in each case
In these cases, the defendants neither
plead nor offer evidence to show that
they have complied with the mulct law
and that being true, the temporary writ
will have to issue and it is so ordered =
Four of the prominent protestant
ministers of the city are the plaintiffs
in the above action.

Vaccination Order.
Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Jan. 10.-Hundreds of resi-
dents of this city are making yigor-
Gus protest of the ruling of the board
of health, requiring the vaccination of
all school children. When school let
out for the holiday vacation, each pu-
pill was given a blank certificate of
vaccination to be presented to the
teacher when school resumed after the
holidays and each was given to UNDER
stand unless the certificate was filled
out, he could not enter school. Many
complied with the sweeping order
while others said it was a scheme to
bring fees to the physicians and re-
fused to have their children vaccinated
When school reassembled, all of those
who did not present certificate of
vaccination We're sent home. One of the
prominent residents of the city, whose
children were compelled to return
home, says he will test the matter in
the courts and there is talk of a public
mass meeting being held to protest
against the order of the board of
health. There are several cases of
smallpox in the city.

Special to Tlmes-Republican
Grinnell, Jan. 10-The first meeting
of the creditors of c. c. Bigler & Sons,
of Victor, Iowa, which was ordered by
Referee in Bankruptcy Will c. Rayburn
about ten days ago, was held yesterday
at the city hall at 10 o'clock. Nearly all
of the creditors were present, and also
Attorney S. w. Brookhart. of Wash
ington, attorney for bankrupts. The
purpose Of the meeting was to present
and approve of the claims, and to elect
trustee to wind up the business. Mr..
Bigler & Sons were also required to
appear and submit to any examination
that any one wanted to make concern
ing the property, which they did, and
filed amended schedules of liabilities.
After the claims had been filed and
proved up they took up the question of
electing the trustee, and Mr.. d. S.
Donahey, Of Newton, was elected, with
but two dissenting votes. These two
votes We're cast for Finn. Of Des
Moines. Mr.. G. w. Brown. of Indian
ola, Iowa withdrew his application for
as trustee before the cleo
ton. Mr., Donahey's bond was fixed at
100000, which he Immediately gave.
Then the creditors accepted Mr.. Big
lers statements of his property and ex-
cused him from any examination. The
meeting was very harmonious and sat-
isfactory to all parties concerned. The
assets are about $4,000 as scheduled
while the liabilities, not counting the
contingent are about s1S0,0000. The sale
is scheduled to come off in Des Moines,
but Mr.. Donahey may decide to change
this somewhat.
