Muscatine, July 2.-The result of the
first three days work of NJ. N. Keller,
the tax ferret who is going over the
assessment books of Muscatine county,
was the discovery of $4,000 in moneys
and credits, which have been withheld
from the various assessors.
The actual work of the tax ferret be-
gan Monday morning, and today, after
less than three days work he has abb
solute proof that nearly one-tenth of a
million dollars worth of notes. mort
cages, money, and other credits, have
never been given in for assessment.
The above sum represents only a
small portion, it is said. of the actual
amount that is being withheld. a few
more weeks work will bring out some
revelations. it is thought, and Musca-
tine county will enjoy a much higher
rating as regards moneys and credits.
There is no question about the collec-
tons being made on the foregoing
amount. Acknowledgement has al
ready been made by the men interest
ed, and the assessments will be made
in the proper for the year
1903, and will be collected in the early
part of the year 1904.
1t is said that Muscatine people are
accountable in a large measure for the
shortage that has already been discov-
cred. From all parts Of the county
men have been coming during the past
two days. attempting to show reasons
WY their taxes were not possibly list

Included in the above hold good for

as the current year. In such cases 1t

ATTACH THE LArrER's TRUNK
Said to Contain Patterns, Diagrams
and Other Articles of Value to the
Observation-Disclosures With 9th
or Cities Regarding Location of the
Factory Cause Of the Trouble.
snecial to Times-Republican.

Webster City. July 2.-Troubls has
arisen between the directors and Man
ager Mackown, of the felt shoe factory
which recently burned here. There have
been a series of disagreements result
ing largely from the fact that Mackown
has been entertaining propositions
from various cities to relocate the fac
tory. These disagrealnents have
grown into serious breaches, and the
entire matter will probably be aired in
the district court at the September
term. Many stories have been in cir
culation on the streets during the last
few days.
The trouble eliminated in the filing
OF a replevin suit against the manager
for a certain trunk said to contain
patterns, diagrams and other property
which belonged to the Northwestern
Felt Shoe Company. The writ was
placed in the hands of the deputy sher-t
iff, and he, in company with one of the
officers of the felt shoe company. went
No N4t. skdtho" - ~
son avenue, the shoe factory man to
identify the trunk and the officer to
obtain possession of 1t. The trunk was
found and was removed from the res
idence.
Mr.. Mackown retained Wesley Mar
tin and d. c. Chase as counse yester-
day, and they served written notice
upon the shoe factory officials that they
must not open the trunk they took from
the residence of the manager. They
claim It to be the private property of
Mr.. Mackown, and to which the factory
people have no right whatever. Mr..
Mackown left the city Saturday even
ing and returned Wednesday morning.
Tuesday the Hamilton County State
bank attached certain property belong
ing to the manager. and the papers
were placed in the hands of an officer
to serve. They called for a horse, a
plano and two carriages. The officer
called at the Mackown residence, but
no one came to the door In answer to
a knock. Mrs. Mackown was in New
York visiting and the house was in
charge of a man named C%opponoe. At
ter a vain effort to get into the house
the officer read the notice thru a win
daw, and then went to the barn and
attached a horse n two carriages.
The property was taken to satisfy a
note given to the ban With shoe fac
tory stock as security.
MI. Mackown, who returned yester-
day afternoon is very bitter against
certain members of the board of direc-
tors of the hoe company. He said
they were trying 10 ruin him.
'The difficulties between the factory
officers and myself nave grown from
small Matters said Mr.. Mackown.
My private correspondence was the
first cause of the trouble. h stenos-
rapher was discharged because she
would no tell them what l had writ
ten. My correspondence with other
parties with reference to future busi-
mess relations is my own affair, l have
my living to make and must attend to
that first. I have done nothing wrong
in my relations with the Northwestern
Felt Shoe Company, and am right here
to prove It,"

A change of voice and extra gra-
c%iousness of manner. may impose On
the visitor who comes around one a
year or SO; but in the everyday world,
with constant companions, a uniform,
genuine, equable course of conduct Is
the best policy. And as a matter of
policy too. that course of conduct had
better be agreeable. obliging and ur-
bane, in order to smooth the pathway.
Women are the greatest offenders
in hypocrisy of manner, because they
are the indoor. weaker sex; and pre-
tended amiability Is the result of that
hereditary cowardice which descends
to us from ruder and more barbarous
ages. Yet, in the modern world, wom-
en- do not need to be anything but or
beyond themselves to be protected and
respected. They and all of us gain
nothing and lose much by p%retense or
affectation. A woman rarely wins a
husband by deceptive ~graciousness;
she loses many suffers. 1T she does
entrap a man he Is apt to be a noodle
not worth the game.
Society is said to be full of affecta-
ton, but is 1t? The present day ten-
dency is toward outdoor, breezy COM
p%ionship. The woman accustomed to
the society of men, Is apt to be freer
from affectation because her exper-
fence tells her 1t does not go. The wom-
an who associates wholly with band
boxes and milliners and reads novels
has not the advantage OF this educa-
ton.
At bottom is is all a matter of char
acter. 1t is u question of truthfulness
and self-respect; without which there
is no real or worthy success in life.

trouble and it now seems that the COM

with outside help.
Wednesday two of the striking girls

wanted to return to work but this
could not be verified. The Trades and
Labor Assembly voted to stand closer
than ever with the operators a

strikers and plainly state the case.
This committee is composed of the fol-
lowing:

The time limit for the operators to
return to work was extended last even
