TO TEST lNEsRlAcY LAW.
Polk County Supervisors to Refuse to
Allow Bills in Its Enforcement

The people of Ottumwa and Wapello
county will watch with interest the
outcome of the action the board of
supervisors of Poll. county propose to
take in regard to the payment of the
expenses incurred in the enforcement
of the Iowa inebriacy law. The board
of supervisors has two-fold object in
carrying out this plan concerning
which Des Moines paper says:
When the quarterly bill for the care
of the inebriates from Polk county at
Mount Pleasant hospital is presented
= the board of supervisors it will not
be allowed The board will take this
action in order to test the power of the
state to enforce the payment of the
bill. The board also has another card
up its sleeve, and that is to let the
people of the county know what it is
costing them for the care of these pa
uents every quarter.
Nearly $4,000 was expended for the
care of Polk county inebriates during
the last quarter Of 1902. When the
bills come in this month, the figures
will be practically the same. At this;
rate, when it is taken into considera-
ton the cost of transporting the pris-
oners there, the sheriff's fees and
other fees that arise in connection

ANALYSIS MADE TODAY

Pure Gold From the Rock Specimens
Brought Him-Mr. Morley Will
Have Assay Made at Once.

From Saturdays Daily.
Gold has been discovered near Ollie,
in Keokuk county, and l.. A. Morley,
the owner of the farm on which the
pay dirt was found, was in Ottum-
wa today, accompanied by c. u.
Lindley of Hedrick, for the pur-
pose of satisfying themselves by
test that the metal they have found re-
ally is gold. This was done by chemi-
cal analysis, conducted by DR.. w. w.
Vance, this morning, and Mr.. Worley
will at once send some specimens of
the strata of rock where the gold oc-
ours to Chicago to be assayed in or
der that he may ascertain whether the
precious metal is in large enough guam
tity in the rock to warrant him in min.
ing it. Meanwhile it is safe to say that
farmers in Keokuk county will grip
the titles to their lands, and even a
railroad with condemnation rights
would have hard time getting real
estate there without paying hand
some price.
Was Digging Well.
Mr.. Morley was seen by a Courier rep
resentative this morning with regard tc
his find and explained the manner in which
1t was made, He was digging well on
his farm. three miles northwest of Ollie
little town in Keokuk county, n few
miles east of Hedricll. on the Iowa Cen
trail. The well digging progressed slowly
and by the time the hole was forty five feet

Should Know More Missionary Work

q will enlishten you. The earnest
desire of the Christian is to know
what God has done, is doing, will do;
what He has done in the past: what
He is doing in the present and what
He will 10 in the future,as it pertains
to Eiis kingdom. How anxious are we
to keep in touch with the things of the
world The daily papers give us the
news of the business, political and So
cial world; but of greater importance
it is to know of the kingdom of God.
Thy Kingdom Come this is our daily
prayer. and we ought to know that
prayer is being answered. The world
knows more of its actors, its states
men, Its soldiers. its explorers, its
scientists and its latest and newest
records in every sphere of contest than
the majority of Christians know about
the missionary enterprises OF the cen
fury.

Old Comrades Meet.

The following, from the Hartwell, Ca,
Sun of last eek will be read with inter-
est by great many people in this county:
The last time the writer saw "Jim"
Wooten was shortly after the sanguinary
battles of Frazier's Farm and Malvern
Hill. He was then the beau ideal of a
soldier-in the vigor of full-orbed man
hood. A missile from the enemy's
ranks sent him home. Jim Wootten was
man OF thai strong, aggressive indivd-
uality that impresses itself upon ones
mind 30 as to never be forgotten. At
that time the writer was 14-year- old
boy soldier. Tuesday morning last a
man with a full grizzly grey beard
stepped into the Sun office and confronted
us. II took but one swift glance into
his weather beaten face for us to know
that jim Wootten stood before us again
in the flesh, and grasping his hand, minus
several fingers, we exclaimed, This is
Woottenp
Mr.. James A. Wootten is a respected
and prosperous citizen of Townville, s.
G. And If he Is as good citizen as he
was a soldier-nuf sod Although seven
ty-three years of age Mr.. Wootten speeds
the plough, and his commanding individ-
uaIity still prevails. He invited us to at
tend reunion of old "Co. X" at his
home on the first of August-his birth
day--and wen be there ceptin' the
river rises. There will not be many Of
us there, dear jim; most of the bows
have followed Lee and jackson "across
the river"

Miss Allie Stribling gives prizes for per :
wish all teachers would give reports of

Miss Sara Livingston will have a case
OF silk worms in her school at Seneca.
The school law of South Carolina r, :
quires elements of agriculture to be-
taught in all schools. Seri culture is an
ideal work for children. We have been
fortunate in having papers to read on
the subject sent by friends. Hon. Maged,
of the United States Silk Growers
Union, and editor of "Silk," sends us
his delightful magazine. The motto is
"Non Sibi, Sed Alus," "Not for them
selves, but for others they work" What
a lesson we can learn from the silk
worms.
We read letter in The Courier from
teacher on "The Presidents Policy"
The way to correct this awful state of
affairs, into which he thinks our States
are falling, is to be very careful to teach
the young in the ways that will make
them honest, Christian, law-abiding citi-
zens. The teacher has great power to
shape the destiny of our country, and tho
door to teaching should be guarded
closely SO that no teacher who is not edu-
Gated, heart and head, should enter
upon these duties. The teachers duties
are sacred. A drummer recently said !:
"Oconee is fast Improving her school
rooms and we see progress OH every
side"
We are glad to hear that Miss Lillian
Werner will be teacher. Miss Werner
has attended the best schools and COL
leges and has not rushed into the place
without preparing for her duty.
White Rock has nice dark green shades
for the windows. White Rock has had q

a welcome visitor to White Rock and
they would gladly show him that they

see how much money and books
