ak the answer he would give was to
let him alone and when he got done
sleeping he would be all right. She
said along about the middle of the
afternoon he snored so that he could
be heard out to the road asked if
he had kept his insurance dues paid

about it. When Ira asked her if she
had the receipt and she said she had
not. he gave her the money and she
paid it.

his being troubled with his ear and 1
said he had said nothing about his ear

was better than it had been for years.
She then asked if Sam had had any
trouble with him and told her he had

Sam, but she thought he must have
been out of his mind when he said thai

The Oskaloosa papers have suggest

railway crosses the Iowa Central and

has but one or two depots in the coun-

travelling public. A union depot at the
place suggested would be good thing
for Eddyville, and would give the town
an outlet over three railroads, though
it is to be regretted that the Iowa Cen

does but little to encourage passenger
traffic, there being but two passenger

correct the published statement by
