sidr y A. Foster Delivers the Principal
Address


Usage, Feb. 21.-The Northwestern
Iowa Press association held its annual
banquet last evening. Several good
addresses We're delivered. Among the
speak.1s was Sidney A. Foster OF
Des Moines, to speak on the theme
why Quit the Newspaper Business
In closing his address he said:
Gentlemen of the Northeast Iowa
Press association, 1t is not my purpose
to bring either censure or praise to
YOU Your work is constant and yout
purpose we'll known to those who sus-
tain and support you. Your field OF
power reaches far beyond the lines of
your community or your county. You
are educating the masses not what to
think. but how to think. Not making
result for your own lifetime but maxi
ing influence that reaches out far be-
yond what you can grasp with your
present vision. The county newspaper
clean, pure and wholesome is generic
IN its planting and its fruition will be
ahunda~t in the harvest for good OF
ill. Such papers may net be main
lights THAT illumine the pathway to
the exercise of intelligent citizers ship
AS the stream can be no higher than
its source {; people can be no higher
IN their love of law and decency and
right than their intelligence which
must point the way.

forth every effort in behalf of their cli-
ent, and in the event that Mrs. Hossack
is again found guilty 1T Will not be be-
cause any stone has been left unturned
In their effort to prove her innocence to
the Jury Nearly all of the testimony
offered yesterday and today was for the
purpose of proving tina. Mr. and Mrs.
Eossack had no family discord be-
tween the time of reconciliation, the
Gay after Thanksgiving. 1899, and the
time of the murder, and by so doing to
weaken the states claim that the ha
tired of Mrs. Hossack for her husband,
and their frequent and violent quar-
rels constituted a sufficient motive for
the commission of the crime by Mrs.
Hossack.
At least two of the children testified
III contradiction to the testimony of
Franklin Kellar and Mr.. johnson re-
gardng the words spoken by Mr.. Hos
sack to Mr.. kellar and Mr.. Johnson at
the reconciliation. They testified that
their father said, MY troubles are Sc
crets of my own which will carry with
me to my grave thus putting an en-
tirely different meaning on the words.
Without any exception oil the children
and the sons-in-law hava testified that
the relation between their parents was
continuously friendly ever after the
reconciliation. This evidence, however,
has been materially damaged by their
testimony before the coroner's jury and
by the testimony of near neighbors of
the Hossack's, who have testified that
Mrs. Hossack came to them after the
reconciliation and told them their trou-
bles were as bad as ever.

the construction Of extensions to Oma-

w. III very great interest by the business
men Of Sioux City. The general belief
was that this action practically took the

This also appeared to have been the
opinion created in Chicago financial
circles as that opinion was reflected by
the newspapers of that city.

has been issued from the sheriff deny

by Bert LiviX and Mrs. McDaniels, ac-
cused of the murder at Macedonia of
Barney McDaniels, the woman's hus-
band.
In the prosecution OF the case and
the developments of the Investigations
at Macedonia, it is claimed by County
Attorney Killpack that the case is be-
coming stronger against both Mrs Nc
Daniels and Livix.
The children of Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Daniels are being kept at Macedonia,
separate from each other 1t is the
sentiment in that community that the
younger child, which was locked in an
adjoining room to the one where the
tragedy occurred, will make statements
regarding the affair The older boy was
present when his father either was
killed or committed suicide.
Mrs. McDaniels has until yesterday
maintained an air of sa.ming indiffer-
ence, but yesterday before Tailor Mar
tin she showed the first sign of sorrow.
While being served with dinner Mrs.
McDaniels turned suddenly to Mr. Mar
tin and said: Don't you think that
they ought to let me see Barney before
they brought me here?" With this one
exception she has refused to speak to
any visitor and has only uttered mono
tones to the jailor in answer to his
questions.
LviX. however, has proven more
cheerful and talks to visitors. He re-
fuses. however. to talk about the time
or scene of the tragedy.

GREATEST LIVE STOCK STATE
to statistician of United
States Department of Agriculture,
the Principal Farm Animals Of Iowa
are Worth se5,ooo,ooo More Than
Those Of any Other State.

Des Moine-. Feb. 21.-1owa not only
leads the na,ion and the world as a
corn raising state, but is now in the
front rank as the greatest livestock
state in the country. According to the
statistician ,f the United States de-
partment of agriculture. the principal
farm animals Of Iowa are worth s277.-
40, 4S4, of s65,0OO,O00 more than those OF
any other state, New York ranking sec
ond.
In the number of it's horses Iowa
leads in value and is second to Texas
in numbers. Iowa has 1,044,57O horses,
valued at $50 each. or worth total
|of $79.76O.O61. Texas has 1,291.4hS
horses, but these are worth only $685.
901,293, 4r less than half the value OF
Iowa horses. Kentucky and Missouri,
featured in song and prose for years
as the great horse states of the nation,
are way down in the column both in
number and value of horses and in
values, the horses of Iowa
leading all other states in average val
uations.
In dairying Iowa now stands second
only to New York The state has $780,
912 mich cows, worth an average each
OF 5000, or a total OF $41,769,0s7. New

while Illinois is second with only 81
747,00 valued at only s35.33s,S7S. Iowa

DECISION is FINAL.
Interesting Opinion Relative to Appeals

Interesting Opinion Relative to Appeals
to County Superintendents.
Des Moines. Feb. 21.-Superint endent
Barrett decided an interesting point of
school law yesterday in affirming the
decision of the county superintendent
in the appeal case from Pocahontas
county of A. w. Ralph, ct al, VS.. the
school township of Des Moines. The
case was one that attracted much no.
tice and in which prominent attorneys
from that part of the state were inter-
estsd. In September, 1901, the board of
directors of the school township voted
to change the locations Of three school
house sites. There was an appeal by
interested property owners to the coun-
ty superintendent, who affirmed the
boards finding. There was no appeal
from the decision of the county super
intendent and the rights of all parties
remained settled until September, 1902,
when the board. having been changed
to some extent in the annual election.
voted to remove back to the old sites
the three school houses. An appeal was
taken by Mr.. Ralph and other inter-
.ested property owners and the action of
the board was reversed by the county
1t is this decision of
the county superintendent that is at
frmed by Mr.. Barrett.
In coming to his conclusions Mr..
Barrett cites an opinion OF the supreme
court in the case of Carpenter vs. the
Independent District of No. 5, 95 Iowa,
page 3O2. The supreme court said in
that case that when there was an APP
~, iyofa n
decision was final. To permit, said the
court, the board of directors to evade
the decision by taking new action on
some matter under conditions not
changed, would be ito nullify the right
of appeal in many cases by depriving
the successful parties of it's benefits.
Similarly. Mr.. Barrett holds, when the
action of the board has been affirmed
by the county superintendent upon APP
peal and no appeal is taken therefrom.
his decision is final. Mr.. Barrett holds
this is in harmony with the latter part
OF section 2.S19 of the code. In the Des
Moines township case the conditions
have not materially changed, and Mr..
Barrett holds that to authorize the re-
moval of the school houses which have
barely had time to settle on their new
sites would be expensive and in the
language of the supreme court would
nullify thu right of appeal.
Mr.. Barrett yesterday heard the APP
peal case of George v. Barker VS.. the
School Township of Van Buren,, from
Van Buren, county. This Is contro-
versy over the establishment of bound-
airy lines of an independent district at
Mount Zion

These are sweet words, but how much

been spared much OF the anguish of child
birth. Mothers Friend is liniment to be
applied externally. 1t is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles of the abdomen. 1t gives
