A Story of the 0Iuts or the Lon
Separated Brothers.

About fifty years ago John SUIT
ton and his brother Jonas, after
having finished splitting a lot of
rail timber on the farm now owned
by John in Elk district, had three
dogwood "gluts" Or wedges left
which had served them well. and
the boys decided to give them a
resting place in hollow root of a
chestnut tree, nearby, to comment
Gate the completion OF their job.
The brothers were separated in 1868
by Jonas moving to Monitor, APP
panoose county. Iowa, where he
has become a prosperous business
man. Not having seen the old
home place since he left, be decid-
ed to retnrn this fall, and is now
visiting his brother John. who
OWNS the old home farm, and is
che OF this connty's most inie!li-
gent farmers. The memories of
these gray haired brothers who bad
been so long apart, naturally rev.
erted to their boyhood days, and to
tie spot where they split their last
rails together. They decided to-
visit the spot and look for the glnts,
which they found in the old chest.

Rural New Yorker en- Virginia
Apples.

Listen to what the Rural New
Yorker Of December 10 says of
Virginia apples:
"What magnificent apples they
produce in the mountains of Vir-
ginia! With the possible excep-
ton of an exhibit in Maine We
have never seen finer specimens of
the fruit than were exhibited last
week at the Virginia State IIorti-
cultural society meeting. 1t seems
that little if any Of this glorious
frR't goes to supply American
markets. Most of it, the Albemarle
pippin, in particular, is sent abroad
eagerly bought by foreign buy
erS. The possibilities Of this sec.
ton as an apple country are aston
iShing. The trouble with the Vir-
ginian seems to be that be is too
modest; with all his native elo-
quence he does not seem able to
blow his own horn with the clear
not that bis apples demand. If
Virginia could initiate California
III the sale Of her fruit, prosperity
and people would surely climb her
mountain sides"
With the proper amount of care
Highland can stand right up even
with amy county III Virginia in ap-
pie culture. There is no doubt but
that she possesses superior aGyaat
ages. especially in the growing Of
many varieties Of winter apples.

IhE NEWS.

Grinnell, Jan. 22.-At a recent meet
ing the board of health decided that
all cases of scarlet fever must be more
closely auarantined. They decided that
no one who stayed at the place where
there is scarlet fever can come down
town for any reason whatever, even tho
thew have no connection with the pa
tient at all. One case is cited where
a member of the family stayed In the
hack part of the house exclusively and
came to town for his mail every day.
This new ruling puts a different COM
plexion on thai and nov he is COM
pelled to stay within doors, and the
mail man is not obliged to deliver mail
at a place where there is scarlet fever.
This looks a little unjust. and as a re-
suit some one is compelled to go out
with the mail who is not afraid to
thro wit on the front porch. But some
stringent methods u be used to put
down the epidemic, as it Is on the in
crease. several new cases being re-
norted yesteday. The most of it seems
to he in the east and southeast part Of

that Cooper school house should be

Estelle and Clark, the two men now
held in the Mount Carroll Jail on the
charge of robbing the express car. Cor
don, or Brooklyn Blackie," the robber
who was killed, and Estelle, as has all
ready been published, were in Du-
buque a day or two before the robbery
and bought a pair of shoes and a re-
volver here, and Mr.. Smith came here
to get the men who sold these articles
to them to go to Mount Carroll for the
purpose stated in the foregoing. The
Dubuquers who saw them are positive
that they can identity them.
Mr.. Smith says that it is a we'll
known fact that Est lie is a most des-
perate man. He had not been. in the
Mount Carroll Jail only a day or w
before he boosted to the sheriff that the
Jail could not hold him, Notwithstanding
the fact that it is one of the most mod
ern in the country. Knowing the kind
of man he is, the sheriff decided to
make assurances doubly sure, and. on
hearing what he had said, he gave Or
to have both Estelle and Clark
locked in their cells and shackled hand
and foot. and it will HOW be practically
impossible for them to escape. Mr..
Smith said also that, IN addition to this
precaution, the Jail is guarded, day and
night, by several guards, part of whom
are inside the Jail and others outside.
The sheriff will not take any chance
whatever, and. If they are alive, Estene
and Clark will be produced in court
when the time for their trial comes.
This may not be until about the first of
next March. Mr.. Smith said further
that nothing was being left undone to
secure the conviction OF the three men
now under arrest-Tstelle and Clark
and another one who is in jail in Mem
phis. He said also that 1t raj the in
tention to press the charge Of murder
against Estelle. for he purchased in this
city the revolver from which the bullet
was fired which killed Gordon, the bul-
let being of the same calibre as the re-
volyer. Mr.. Smith will probably come
to Dubuque again before the trial.

Northwood, Iowa, Jan. 22.-Northern
Iowa seems to be doomed to a county
eat war. For a number of years the
Kensett people have been trying to re-
o the county seat of Worth county
from Northwood and this year have
made a supreme effort. The contest
was fought before the people with Pc
tition and remonstrance and when the
result vas placed before the board of
supervisors it was declared that an
election should be held. Their decision
was appealed from and taken to the
district court and in the September
term, 1902, Judge Kelley sustained the
remonstrance and declared that no
election should follow. The Kensett
people are mo- satisfied and have filed
an appeal to the supreme court. Many
new and interesting questions will come
before the court in this appeal and its
decision will be awaited with pleasure
by the different counties who have
such a war.

BAD FIRE At wAukEE.
Of the Eide a Mystery.

-OTi9lU OF SVS SiNS NySsS'y
Waukee, Jan. 22.-This town had a
$1,000 fire last night. The origin is
somewhat a mystery and is being in
%vestigated. 1t took some of the best
buildings ard stores and but for good
work by the volunteers would probably
have destroyed most Of the business
| section.
The fire started about 1880 in the
oil room at the rear Of the Fair store,
run by X. Slaytor, and consumed h a
frame building. 1t was owned by sam
McWilliams, and valued at $4,000. The
stock was valued at $4,000. with $1,000
loss total on building and
stock.
The Spencer Smith brick hotel with
all its contents was burned. Loss at
least $4,000. There was $4,000 insur-
ance.
The butcher shop owned by A. +.
Cook was partly insured, but the loss
will be at least $3.50 on stock, which
was owned by Mr.. Hutchins.
/. A. Kinyon's one story store is wiped
out, loss about $500.
Mr.. and Mrs. McWilliams, who lived
