in favor of longer season. This
can be arranged by playing four

job to arrange the schedule without

DETERIORATION OF FARM

nature. Edwin Farwell has sued Ern-
est Weinrich, who has been tenant
ON his fine farm of 800 acres south
east of Geneseo, for is years, for 3d.
900. The damages cover a peiod of
10 years, and are for claimed neglect
in fertilizing the farm. the keeping
of hedges in proper trim and the de-
struction to buildings on the prem
ises, etc. The defense claims any and
all decline are but the natural decay
of time and that the farm has been
improved rather than run down. The
case has excited no little interest

Criminal Prosecution Likely Over Use of
Christian Science Methods.

Criminal Prosecution Likely Over Use of
Chris tian Science Methods.
Responsibility for the death of little
Carrie Giesner, the Davenport girl
who died of diphtheria, and without
having been attended by physician,
has been attached by the ccroner's
jury tc the parents of the dead girl
and Miss Vaudeville. the Davenport
Christian Science healer, who was
called at the time of the sickness of
the child, and who is in part response
BE for the failure of the parents to
call physician. After the testimony
was completed some delay was en-
countered because of the desire of
the members of the coroner's jury to
gain further information on the sub
iect of the law in regard to the mat
ter from County Attorney Neal. \
consultation was held Saturday after
which the jury rendered the following
verdict; $sTEE
I'VE find that the deceased came to
her death from an attack of dip
iberia. contagious disease. We also
find that the parents Of the said Car
rie Giesner, Frederick and Emily
Giesner. wilfully denied her all treat
ment proper in such cases.
I'VE further find and believe that if
the proper treatment had been insti-
tuted the said Carrie Giesner would
have recovered. We also find that the
parents were aided and abetted in
such criminal negligence and denial
OF proper treatment by one Amy
Vaudeville, who processes to heal and
cure and practices contrary TO the
statutes of the state of Iowa.
As will be seen the verdict is an I'M
usually severe one and does not
equivocate as to whether the death
Of the little girl was due to criminal
negligence or not. What action. if
any. will be taken i'm the matter will
be determined later by the grand
jury.

SOME WILL OPPOSE
Increase of Salary Asked by the
Rural Mail Car
riers.
CONGRESS MAY REFUSE IT
Postal Deficit in the aIdkhip
on Carriers in the
North

y Washington correspondent of the
rural free delivery carriers who
hoped 10 secure legislation TO in
crease their pay or improve their
condition will find il necessary to
bring considerable pressure upon the
congressman to overcome the opposi-
ton that will confront them in the
post office committee, where their
bills win be considered, and also upon
the floor of the house.
Many representatives from rural
districts fully appreciate the onerous
duties imposed upon the rural ear
rers, and admit the inadequacy of
the compensation now allowed them.
In the northern districts, where the
winters are severe, much inclement
weather is experienced and the roads
are heavy for months each year, if
not impossible for the light vehicles
used by the carriers, the allowance of
5000 a year is not sufficient The eX-
pense of maintaining the horse and
equipage is a severe drain for which
small allowance should be made by
the government. This is the view of
a large number of congressman. per-
haps ii majority.
Conditions In the South.
The occasion and the justice of the
demands Of rural carriers i'm the
south, where the winters are open
and the mails light, where the horses
can he pastured nearly all year. are
not considered so well established,
but whatever legislation may be had,
congress will treat all carriers alike.
as it is not considered probable that
any comprehensive classification will
be undertaken al this time
Representative Jesse Overstreet. of
Indiana, who Will be chairman of the
postotiice committee, and who will
have the most to say as TO what leg
islation of interest to rural carriers
shall be considered by the house, is
not prepared at this time, in advance
of consultation with other members
of the committee and Il careful study
OF the question. to even hazard Il pre-
diction as to what may be done.
There are so many rural free car
riers throughout the country that
any increase of their salary must be
regarded in connection with the ques-
ton of postal deficit and administra-
ton surplus.
