is GIVEN A JOLT.
Iowa Parole Law is Given an Adverse
pesision at Anamosa.


The Iowa parole law system received
a severe shake-up at Anamosa accord
ing to intelligence received from that
city. It is expected by those who are
familiar with the affair that there will
be some revision Of the rules in regard
to paroles unless the supreme court
of the state backs up the governor in
the matter. The incidents in connec-
tion with the affair are told in an ar
ticle from Des Moines. as follows:
b. w. Garrett. parole secretary for
Governor Cummins has received
a dispatch from Anamosa announcing
that the district court had ordered re-
leased from custody Frank Davis, d
convict serving time in the state PEN
itentiary there Habeas corpus pro-
.ceedings We're brought before Judge
Miller at Anamosa to secure the re-
lease Of Davis He has been serving a
seventeen year sentence from Clinton
about two months before he would
have been released He MAS a good
prisoner and earned all The good
time" possible amounting to nearly
seven years, He was returned upon
violation of his parole. As is customs
airy in such cases the good time deduc-
ton previously made was Cancelled. In
fact, this was one of the conditions
to which he subscribed when he ae-
cepteo the parole and it is a clause in
every parole agreement.
Under this plan he would have to
serve nearly seven years instead OF the
two months which would have releas-
ed him ii he had not accepted the pa
clared that the good time earned pre-.
Ivious to the parole must stand to his
credit and so standing he is entitled
to release now that he has served the
1.-TWO or three months which remained
/ of his abbreviated term in the peniten-
1 tiary
The suit was brought by Attorney
/ Tom Minor, and as Attorney General
Mullan could not go to Anamosa to de.
4 fend the state the defense was entUst
/ ed 10 Senator Ellison. An appeal will
/ be Immediately taken to the supreme
/ court, as the question is one that the
/ sGprame court has never passed upon
i Ii the decision is allowed to stand, it
i will neaessitate a revision OF the parole
System in vogue in Iowa. which is

The decision Of Judge Roberts OF
this city in the case Of the Van Buren,
County Savings bank VS.. the Sterling
Wooden mills, rendered in the district
court at Keosauqua, has been modified
ana affirmed by the supreme court IN
an opinion rendered by Judge SherWin.
The case arose from the noted con.

/. George w. Sharp had been in a private
bank at Pennington and treasurer of

Van Buren, County Savings bank he
was short $4,000 as treasurer of the
mills BY a deal between him and
Cashier Lapsley the shortage was can
celed, but it was discovered several
years later, after Sharp's death. The
bank sued on notes given by the wool
en- mills company. The courts decid-
ed two Of the notes were invalid, as
they were issued by Sharn without au-
thcrity and held about $1,000, which
Sharp paid into the bank but checked
ont later, should be considered an off

Improper and Careless Addresses
Occasion Much Trouble.
PER CENT LOST IN 0ITUlHA SMALL

Ployes Encounter in Locating Par
ties for Whom csrelessly Addressed
Mail Is Intended.
Notwithstanding the large amount
OF first class mail that is received at
the Ottumwa postofice each day the
number of pieces which come in with
out the proper addresses seems very
small. Scarcely a day passes, how
ever said a prominent member of
the postotfice force today, that the
box in which these misdirected let
tiers, or better these letters with in
complete directions, are kept is not
fairly well filed Many lack the
names OF streets and numbers aud as
none of the carriers recognize them
they are prt aside subject to the call
OF the parties for whom they are in
tended
These letters are known at the OF
mmwa postotIice as mikes. They
CONS with merely the name of the
person TO whom they are Intended and
the name OF the city. There is no
street number, business address or
further mark of Identification about
them OFTEN times even the initials
are left off and letter is addressed
to MIR. Jones or Mr. Smith Ottumwa,
Iowa without the DESIGNATION as to
which of the particular member OF the
Smith or Jones family, the letters are
intended
The letters in question are submit
tributor does not happen to know OF
such persons, and il they do not know
their identity, they are piled on the
table in rows waiting identification.
After the carriers 90 out and the
rush Of distributing the mails is over,
several clerks sit down al this table
and begin sorting the mails They
spend hours in searching for the ad-
dresses of the people for whom these
letters are intended.
Fer this purpose the postofIiee has
a complete directory Of the CITY. This
directory IS about as complete as II
is possible to make directory as It
is revised every day When 8 man
moves, the place of his new residence
is entered ia the directory. II q family
moves to town, as seon as the carrier
ascertains the residence the carrier
reports it in 10 the office and the name
is entered in the directory.
This directory IS the common city

rames are entered alphabetically On
