Mr.. Mason had been sick for o
weeks, but neither he O his friends
knew the nature of his malady till after
Incorporation. He is pastor of the M

came upon his many friends here with
shocking s~uddenness as they had not
even heard that he was sick. G.. f.

STUDY CAUSED INSANITY.
Sad Case Of HuIda Nelson Former Fort

Fort Dodge, April 24.-Intense appli-
cation to her books. with the hope that
she might regain her position in the
Fort Dodge Schools. tells the story of
Hulda Nelson's insanity. Few more
pathetic cases have ever developed in
the city. For months she has strained
every nerve over her books, until the
overtaxed brain gave way.
Miss Nelson was declared to be in
sane by the board of commissioners
and was taken to Cherokee yesterday
morning. Deputy Sheriff Clark Wool
sey returned from Gowrie at 4 O'Clock
Wednesday, bringing her with him.
She was taken before the commissions
ers, who, after examining all the wit
nesses, and listening to all the testi-
mony, came to the above decision and
recommended that she be taken to the
state hospital for the insane at Chero-
kee. Miss Nelson formerly taught
school in Fort Dodge SO her case is
of more than usual interest. Sheriff
Olson accompanied by her mother,
left for Cherokee with her yesterday
morning.

Many Sioux City Teachers to Have an
Advance.
Special to Times-Republican.
Sioux City, April 24.-Many teachers
in the public schools of Sioux City will
secure q raise in their salaries this year.
The teachers committee OF the board
has decided to recommend an advance
of salaries which will aggregate $4,000
for the year.
THE raise will be general" said a
member of the board yesterday. Il do
not mean that a majority of the teach
ers will receive higher salaries. but
those teachers who have not been re-
ceiving the maximum salaries will prin-
cipally be the ones benefited. Those
teachers who already are getting the
maximum salaries will not receive in
creases."
The teachers committee met yester-
day afternoon in the office of City
Treasurer L. G. Prescott to complete
the list of teachers who will comprise
the corps for the ensuing year and to
fix the salaries the members of the
corps shall receive. 1t did not complete
it's work and will have another meeting
Saturday for this purpose.
The increase of tax receipts in the
teachers fund of the district enables
the board of education to make this
large advance in the salaries of teach

Legality of Tax Paying Provis-

Tried In Court
REBEL AGAINST DOUBLE TAX
L~andhoIders Who Formerly "Worked
Out" Their Taxes Feel Present sys-

for Road Tax This Year Causing
Much TroubIe-Attorneys Consulted.
Special to mes-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, April 24.-The new road
law is not going to hold it's place in
the statutes of the state of Iowa with
out a struggle. In at least a dozen
counties there is a feeling that the law
is interfering with the vested rights
of many persons. This feeling is con-
fined largely to the l~andholders who
have had their road taxes worked out"
by their tenants or hired help, and
who will feel deeply the burden Of pay
ing in cash for road work; but an
other class who object strenuously to
the new law is the men who have held
positions as sub-district road super
visors. Many of these feel that their
pull is gone Attorneys in this city
have been approached to see 1t they
will not undertake to bring suit in
some form that will test the law and
knock it out. Inquiries nav come to
q number of them and to state officials
as to certain phases Of the law. The
other day one of the best lawyers in
the city went to h governor with a
great discovery. He had found out that
the law made no provision for any
road tax this year. Then he went TO
the newspaper men and found that he
attorney general a been up against
that proposition a long time 6 and
decided that there is law for a road
tax levy this year and for the collection
Of the same, and the attorney general
made it very plain that when the tax
ing authorities get together this year
it is their duty to levy W. taxes, one
for this ear and for next year,
both on one assessment, and n to be
collected a year later than the other,
both collectable in cash in the ordin-
airy way. Chen another lawyer came
up with the proposition that if this is
the law then property is to be taxed
doubly on this years assessment and
the law is therefore unconstitutional.
This point, it is understood, is already
made in a test suit brought in an
other county, in which the question is
raised of double taxation on one as
sessment. The trainers of the law
planned to have the taxes come along in
regular order, but the necessity of MAX
ing a change in the time of paying
compels virtually two levies on one
assessment. There is grave doubt in
the minds Of many as to whether this
part of the law will stand the test of
! the courts.

THURMAN HAS $4,000 FIRE.
Roller Mill Owned by w. p. Savage is
DESTROYED.

Thurman, April 24.-The Eagle Roll
Ter Mill, owed and operated by w. p.
Savage, was destroyed by fire at $3.50
yesterday afternoon. The total loss is
estimated at $4,000, with insurance Of
but s. 5000.
When the fire was first discovered by
James Terrence, the whole OF he sec
ond tioor was ablaze, leading to the be-
lief that the fire originated on that
floor. The building was a three story
structure. The five rollers were oper-
ated by a steam engine, but as the mill
had not been running for two or .hree
days, it is a mystery what started the
fire.
The larger part of the wheat in the
building was in sacks and was removed
by volunteer help before the building
fell in. There were 200 or 800 bushels
of corn burned. 1t is thought that Nh.
Savage will rebuild at once and will put
in a modern mill in every particular.

Arctic BrOtherhOO 1 Opens
 Season Oct. ?

The Arctic Brotherhood will open the festive season Friday evening, Oc- tober 2, with a genuine Arctic Broth erhood social hop. It will in reality be more than hop, as the committee Is now busily engaged in arranging many novel features that have heretofore never been introduced at dances in Skagway. The committee will endeav- or to furnish an evenings genuine pleasure to those who do not dance as we'll as to the dancers. No part of the program will be given out yet In a day or two, when the committee has had time to make fuller arrangements, an announcement will be made.
 The committee in charge of the af- fair consists of J. Porter Smith, Frank Mccarthy and Godfrey Chealander.
 It is the intention of the Arctic Brotherhood to give a series of enter tainmentS and dances next winter, from the proceeds of which will bo built an extension of 20 feet to the west end of their hall. The Christmas tree gath ering at yuletide for all the boys and girls in town have come to be looked upon as regular function. It has, however, been found that the hall for such an occasion Is entirely too small. and it Is to remedy this that these dances will be given.
