IOWA EXEMPT.

Do you know that Iowa is the only
state in the Union that has not had a
war, Indian or otherwise, within her
borders, barring the war between the
early Indian tribes themselves, of
course. The eastern and southern
states have been the theaters of the
great wars, and every other state in
the country unaffected by great strifes
has had an Indian war except Iowa.
Illinois and Wisconsin were effected
by the strife of 1912 besides the Black
Hawk disturbance in 1882; Minnesota
had Sioux war and massacre in 1862,
and the states west of us have had all
kinds of Indian troubles. The nearest
Iowa ever came to anything of the
kind was the Spirit Lake massacre in
1867, committed by a tribe of wander
ing Sioux outcasts. 1t is the one COM
monwealth of the nation unstained by
the touch of war. 1t seems strange
that either just one state or any state
should have this unique distinction,
but it is a matter of history that such
is the case. Mail Press

DEHORNING CATTLE.

According to the agriculture de-
partment bulletins, dehorning calves
is very simple operation. and it is
difficult to understand why it is ever
postponed until the horns are fully
grown, for then if hornless cattle are
wanted, the horns will have to be
sawed off. To dehorn calf get a
pencil of caustic potash at drug
store. When the calf is three or four
days old, throw it down, locate the
little knot which indicates the young
horn, wet it we'll. rub it with the
pencil, held in gloved hand. Ii
takes but a few minutes WORK and
causes the animal no pain If in a
couple of weeks any sign of growth
appears. a second application will
complete the job. Eek.

A MUSICAL PRODIGY.

Waverly people have discovered a
new musical prodigy in the person of
Cady Kenney, a lad aged fifteen years,
residing on farm near that place.
The boy has been taking piano lessons
only two years, previous to which
time he had never touched piano,
and so rapid has been his progress the
local music teachers are unable to
give him further instructions. He
played before the visiting newspaper
men at Waverly last Monday. and all
were astounded by his truly remark
able performance. such extremely
intricate compositions as Hungarian
Raphsodle No. q" in six sharps. and
the "Last Idea of Won Weber," in five
fats, he renders most brilliantly and
with perfect ease. The boy, who is a
bright lad, comes of musical family,
and it is understood he will be given
a thorough training, commencing at
the Chicago conservatory next year.

A CONTRARY MAN.

1t is funny how contrary some men
are. A farmer living near Maryville
heard short time ago that the cleo
trio line which it is proposed to build
from Maryville to st. Joseph would
cut through his farm. He forthwith
went to town and made big roar to
the projectors. He didn't want the
line across his farm or near 1T. The
Tribune Says he declared that she
would stand i'll his front yard with a
shot gun rather than allow the sur
veyors to come his way" and angrily
refused proposition to sell his farm
at high price in case the line ran
through it. When the survey was
made. the mans farm was missed by
several miles. Instead, however, of
being gratifed, he changed his mind
and concluded he wanted the line near
him; and so he hurried off to town
again and offered to donate right of
way through his place and TO take
stock in the company in case it built
in his direction. He went away sor-
rowing, however, for the survey was
finished and the stock was all taken

INTERESTING CASE.

An interesting case came from
Chickasaw county. A loss occurred
by fire, the Farmers Mutual that held
the risk refused to settle, the loser
sued. bnt it was found impossible to
obtain disinterested jury as so many
held policies in that insurance COM
pany. hence it was transferred to
Howard county for trial. Later-The
case was VIM. Krell VS.. The Farmers
Mutual Insurance Company of this
county. Krell put feed cooker in
his barn, the barn burned and the
company refused to :pay the loss.
Krell brought action for the amount
of the insurance. $500. The case was
tried in Cresco on change Of venue,
Springer, Clary & Condor for Krell
and M. E. Geiser for the insurance
company. At the close of the evidence
counsel for the defense moved the
court to direct verdict for the COM
pany. This motion was over-ruled.
The plaintiffs counsel by motion then
asked the COURT direct verdict for
the plaintiff in the sum of $3.50 and
costs. The court sustained the motion
and a judgment in favor of Vim. Krell,
plaintiff in the case was entered for
the amount claimed and for costs
against the company. Howard Co.

LOTS OF POOR FISH.

Some of our farmers and townsmen
as we'll have been feastIng on fish of
late. Numerous ponds in the COM
munity were stocked with carp by the
floods of the past year or two. These
have grown until they weigh from one
to five pounds. An occasional one
reaches six to eight and one ten
FOUNDER was caught. The ponds have
frozen until little water remains and
the fish are easily caught. In fact
they would soon die if not caught.

WHY NOT DEBORAH?

In recent interview President Z.
s. Ellsworth, of the Iowa Falls and
Northern railroad said with reference
to the extension of the road next year !:
SAT our meeting today a resolution
was adopted by the board of directors
to the effect that the company proceed
at once to the extension Of the road
northward TO some point or points to
be determined by the board. Three
preliminaries surveys have been run
by this company to points north and
northeast of here and four routes arc
and have been considered feasible in
making the extension of the line. An
air line from here to Charles City
would strike the towns of Geneva.
Greene and Dumont. and offers de-
sirable features that the company will
consider carefully. In other surveys
the town of Hampton is on the line,
one running from here to the county
seat of Franklin county and thence via
Marble Rock to Charles City. An
other line runs via Hampton and then
to Usage while the fourth is to Hamp-
ton and then paralleling the Iowa
Central to Mason City. At the latter
point the new line would tap the Mil
waukee, Iowa Central, Great Western
and Northwestern lines. " 1t is
thought that early in the spring, a
canvass of the proposed routes will be
made and figures on construction will
be submitted that will have much TO
do with the selection of the route.
The extension of the line to Charles
City offers the road some good towns
and opens up new territory tributary
to Des Moines that is now reached in
roundabout way only. If the line
is built to Mason City the shortest
line between Kansas City and the
Twin Cities is opened up and offers
the Milwaukee. with close traffic ar
rangements, excellent facilities for
passenger as we'll as freight business
between these points. At Charles
City. the road would strike the ILL
nois Central and the Milwaukee and
if extended northeast would find at
Winona an outlet to Green Bay, Civ
ing the road lake port and an excel
lent grain market The indications
now are the road will be built next
year.

THE NEWEST GRAFT.

One of the smoothest CRAFTS that has
been worked at Cedar Falls was
evolved and carried out by smooth
talker purporting to be an insurance
solicitor for the Indiana State Life of
indianapolis. He was accompanied
by stenographer who took down all
conversations between himself and his
customer in order to give color to his
wonderful proposition, which was to
write policies of the endowment class
for So, 900, $4,000 and 100000. None
less than this would be written and no
one was called upon who was not
financially able to carry such insur-
ancc. Three and perhaps more vic
tins were found here in the persons of
Professor A. W Rich, Professor @.
P. Colgrove of the state normal facml-
ty and G. B. Santee, real estate man.
The agent allowed seven years on a
twenty year policy and collected the
one year premium in cash or by note.
The policies were to be full paid in
twenty years. Nineteen hundred dol
lars in premium notes were taken
from this city. The notes will be dis
posed of, it is presumed, to third
parties and sent here for collection.
Cedar Falls is a good insurance town
and all these men are able to carry
heavy policies, but surpriss is mani
tested that they should fall before so
thin an argument. George Crane. of
Council Bluffs, is the gentleman who
worked the graft.
