an instructive view OF the rates paid

port prepared for the department states
that the supply or male Farm servants
was fairly plentiful. owing partly u

Sioux City, June 10-Charged with
numbering his employer, cremating his
body in a strawstack and appropriat-
ing his property, including fine farm,
Fred Hokuff has been arrested by the
sheriff of Osceola county and locked
UP at Sibley.
The crime charged is the murder of
Peter johnson on February 13, 1903
on that day, Johnson, an eccentric
bashelor, disappeared and never has
been seen since. The day following
Hokuff, who was his hired man, said
that Johnson had left for Norway to
visit relatives and left him, Hokuff, in
charge of things. The story was be-
lieved for months, because Johnson
was very eccentric.
Suspicious are Aroused.
AS time passed, however, suspicious
were aroused. Hokuff took entire
charge of the 300-acre farm. He paid
some notes Johnson had outstanding.
paid taxes, made repairs and in every
way seemed to be owner.
He married and brought a wife to
the place. Suspicious neighbors caus-
ed a detective to be hired to investi-
gate the affair. He finally learned
that, though Johnson seemed to have
no relatives, there was woman at
Gibson City, ILL.,, who had once been
his sweetheart, but they quarreled and
he left her.
An Old Time Love.
To Gibson City the detective went.

IOWA MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING
AND CREMATING EMPLOYER

From this woman, now married, he
learned that Johnson had no relatives
in America. She was able to tell OF
his relatives abroad, and from them it
was learned that Johnson had not been
there.
This much learned, the woman told
her true story She had bourne a
daughter by Johnson, now a pretty
young woman of twenty, chief oper-
ator in the telephone exchange at Glib
son City-Alena Paulson by name. AZ
ter Johnson went away and the child
was born she married another man,
and the child never knew till her moth
er and the detective told her that she
was not legitimate child.
Johnson Unable to Explain.
Mrs. Paulson, being assured that her
daughter was the only heir to john
sons estate, interested herself in the
search for the murderer, and was able
to give much assistance.
The detective, when all was ready,
swooped down on Hokuff, confronted
him with what was known and found
him utterly unable to tell straight
story. The evidence all points to the
conclusion that Hokuff killed his en-
ployer, put his body in strawstack
and burned the stack.
The arrest caused great excitement
in Sibley, where Hokuff has been sIs-
pected for long time. A preliminary
examination will be held at once be-
fore Justice Miller at Sibley.

0LEO BILL
IS UPHELD
SUPREME COURT OF IOWA AF.
FIRMS LOWER COURT in THE
NOTED ARMOUR CASE.

Des Moines. June TO- The Iowa
supreme court today affirmed the de-
cision Of the lower court prohibiting
the sale of colored oleomargarine un-
less the state dairy laws are complied
with. The suit was brought by the
Iowa dairy commission against the Ar
mour Packing Co., and was in the ma
ture of a test.
The Armours contended that their
oleomargarine was made the color of
yellow butter through natural pro.
cesses in it's manufacture and that
therefore their dealers were not com.
PEELED to exhibit label.
Law is Plain.
The court holds that its is viola.
ton of the state law to sell any color
and kind of oleomargarine without a
label.

DEATH THINS THE RANKS
OF THE UNIONS DEFENDERS

1t will not be long, now, till the
Grand Army Of Iowa will have few
posts and all will be merged in COM
mon central organization, like the
Grant club at Des Moines, whose mem
bers are scattered all over the state.
Adjutant General Newman remarked
on the situation in his report, also,
when he recommended that arrange
ments be made for the proper preser-
walton of the pictures Of the command
ers of the organization that they may
be turned over to the historical de-
partment Of the state when the Grand
Army is done.
The membership of the Grand Army
in Iowa is now but about 10000. There
are twice that many veterans of the
war in the state, however. It has been
the dream of the heads of the organiza-
tion for years and years to induce all
the veterans in the state to join the
order, but it is a dream in fact.

Mason City, June 10.-The thirtieth
encampment of the Iowa Grand Army
of the Republic came to sad close
at 6 O'Clock last evening by an unfor-
tunate accident on the Mason City &
Clear Lake Electric line The closing
session of the encampment was held
at Clear Lake, a summer resort ten
miles from the city, and exercises held
in the beautiful park had closed most
auspiciously the best encampment
held in years. Clara Barton, Of Red
Cross fame, had spoken with Cover
nor Cummins and Chaplain Jesse Cole
of the soldiers home in the closing
speeches Of the camp fire and had con-
graduated the people on the good for
tune that no accident had occurred to
mar the perfect meeting.
Car Turns Over.
Three trains, with 1000 happy peo-
pie, started back at 5 o'clock, and
strangely enough, just opposite the
Memorial university, the trailer on
the first train, car with trolley used
on the city lines, jumped the track
and caused the destruction. 1t was
loaded with men and women, and when
1t left the track was detached from
the rest of the train, which ran fur
long before it could be stopped. There
were fifty or more people in the car
and twenty-five of them were more or
less injured Providentially, the car
in rolling over struck culvert, which
kept it from falling on the people who
were precipitated from the windows,
although the car had to be pried from

J. e. Blythe to the Rescue.
J e. Blythe of Burlington, the well
known politician, was on the car di
rectly ahead and was quick to grasp
the situation and rush to the nearest
telephone summoning all the doctors
and hacks from the city. The car
rolled completely over and the scene
of taking out the disabled veterans
manned and bruised women collapsed
by accident and freight was all toe
sad a climax for the three days fes
tivities.

[BY LEON BROWN
Des Moines Bureau of the Courier.
Des MoipAS l,,o. IN

An epoch in the life of the veterans
of the civil war has been reached in
Iowa. Commander Raymond at the en-
campment which is being held at Ma
son City this week gave significant
voice to it when he recommended that
some Of the posts of the state surrena.
er their charters and become affiliated
with neighboring posts. He said that
there are communities where so few
veterans are left that it is almost if
not entirely impossible to maintain post
organizations longer. Instead of the
members of these posts giving up
their affiliation with the Grand Army
altogether, he suggested that they join
with posts in the near vicinity, thus
forming a strong central organization
which could be counted on in keeping
up the organization as a whole.

The attempt may occur at the first
