4 ivory appeared In the fiction de-
partment Of an eastern magazine this
month treating of the Wesley Elkins
case. The scene is laid in Iowa, but the
names are so changed as to make the
identity Of the subject matter only pos
sible to those who are familiar with the
case. Elkins, as boy of II years, killed
his father and mother. He was paroled
by the last general assembly. There was
a strong fight for and against the par
don. w. P. Whipple, of Vinton, mem
her Of the senate, got the pardon through
the assembly, an achievement which
many legislators had worked for for a
long time. The pardon question was
before four or five general assemblies.
Elkins is now in Mount Vernon and is
doing very we'll.
Will BE stopped.
The custom which has been in vogue
in localities Of rushing scores Of foreigh-
ers to be naturalized the day before
election will be stopped by the operation
of the new law. Experience has shown
that the new law will require an hours
time to each voter hereafter, so that the
plan Of naturalizing from so to $50 men
for new voters the day before an election
comes of will have to be abandoned in
such communities as Des Moines. for in
stance. This law is the one passed by
the last congress, and which has just
been certified to the county clerks in
Iowa.
lows Coal Mines.
More than a half million more tons OF
coal were taken out of Iowa mines the
past year than in the year before. The
mines had been reduced in number from
1886 to S13 during the year, also. The
total output the past year was approx
mately 6,1s5,O00 tons. Monroe produced
almost third of this, or 100000 tons.
There were 81 fatal accidents and SO
serious accidents during the year, which
was considerable reduction. The per-
sonnet of the mine commission is now
at point of high excellence.
Salaries of Teachers.
President Seerley, of the State Nor
NAL school, has made some interesting
Investigations relative to the salaries
paid to teachers in Iowa. Only eight Of
113 lady graduates of his institution,
employed in the best schools of the
state, were able to save 5000 during the
past year. The majority saved less than
500. The average of 40 teachers in pri-
mary and graded schools was $225.70 a
year. Few localities offer salaries on
which families can be adequately cared
for.
Crusade Against Cigarettes.
The endless chain crusade against the
cigarette has reached Iowa. Many peo-
pie have received postal cards asking
them to sign the petition to congress to
legislate against the cigarette and to
send other postal cards to their friends
asking that they do the same thing. 1t
is said that in eastern Iowa especially
the cards are being signed in great num-
bers and are being sent to the headquar-
tiers of the league which inaugurated the
crusade in New York, and by which the
petition will be presented to congress.

It's too bad that some
men will be forever dis
satisfied with their own
actions. We know there
are men in this commun-
ity who have never bought
a foot of lumb Der from us,
and whoare forever kick
ing because what they
have bought elsewhere
they believed to be too
high in price or of too
poor a quality. If you
happen to be one of those
chaps, what's the use of
buying where you won't
get satisfaction, where
we absolutely guarantee
you satisfaction or won't
charge you a cent? Come
in and say "hello!" Look
