Four Car Loads Sent East by expreSN,
from Decorah.
Decorah, Jan. 31.-The largest chip
ment of express ever made in this sec
tion, If not the largest ever made In the
state, has been sent east from Decorah.
The shipment consisted OF four car
loads of horses. They were bought for
the.eastern markets, and three cars go
to the stables OF William Post at Long
Island, while the fourth goes to Boston.
Going as express, these cars with their
live animal passengers. travel in hrst-
class shape, being attached to regular
express trains. and the time between
Decorah and Boston was scheduled for
thirty-six hours for them. In cases
where the passenger trains are already
long and heavy the horse cars will be
made into a train by themselves and
Will be given the right of way on the
lines over which they travel. It IS said
that the expense of shipping live stock
in this way is but a trifie more than
that of shipping by freight. but the ex-
ira expense is more than compensated
for in the condition of the animals
when they reach their destination. Eric
Anderson, the we'll known horse buyer,
made the shipment. sg.

FIGHT FOR COURT HOUSE.
Cedar Rapids Wants to Wrest County
Scat from Marion.

Cedar Rapids, Feb. Whatever
may be the result of the present strife
for the re-location of the county seat,
i. is practically certain that Linn coun-
ty will have new court house, and this
will be compensation for the bitter
ness which is now being engendered by
the determined effort Cedar Rapids is
making to wrest the county seat from
Marion, five miles away.
The court house was built In the early
days of the county, long before the war,
and is dilapidated and wholly made
quate structure. The Commercial Club
OF Cedar Rapids, which is agitating the
re-location of the county seat, has
pledged itself that if the people of Linn
county decide in favor Of allowing the
county seat to I.smain In Marion, tnen
Cedar Rapids will cheerfully vote for
bonds for the new court house to be
built there.
But Cedar Rapids is confident that If
the matter can once be brought to
vote, the people of Linn county Will
decide overwhelmingly in favor OF re-
locating the county seat in this city,
which has about so per cent of the total
population. The Marion people, how
ever, are circulating remonstrances IN
Cedar Rapids. and are getting some
signatures of friends of the interurban
railway company, whose business would
be seriously endangered If the county
seat We're removed.
The Cedar Rapids Commercial CLUB
has placed in the field large army OF
canvassers. and several of the Cedar
Rapids aldermen are making a personal
canvass in various parts of the county.
Meetings are being held at frequent In
teryals in both towns and the contest
seems likely to deve:op a great deal OF
rancor before it is ever.
