A BRACE OF FORCERS
Acquisition for Man and Woman
 Fugitives Honorea Yesterday.

George w. MoCombs and woman Iowa, the former of Albia, have been arrested at Clifton at the request of the Iowa authorities, charging them with forgery.
 Acting Governor Nichols yesterday received by mail a requisitiOn from Governor Cummins of Iowa for a war rant for the eXtradition of McCOmbs and the woman. The papers were sent by Sheriff J. E. Doner of Albia, Monroe county, Iowa. requesting that the War rant be mailed to Deputy Sheriff J. D. Parks of Clifton. Sheriff Doner is now at Clifton. The papers were honored and the warrant sent.
 From the papers it is learned that last March McCombs executed bond of $4OOO to J. w. Scott of Albia for the construction of a building. It was understood tLat the bond should be signed by M. s. McCOmbs, the wife of McCombs Scott was introduced to a woman who NcCombs said was his wife and in the presence of Scott she signed the name of McCombs. Scott afterward learned that she was not McCombs' wife, but that her name was Edith Sparry.
 Among other documents acconpa- nying the paper is an affidavit by Mrs. McCombs that she did not sign the bond and that she authorized no one to afTix her signature to it. In what manner the fraudulent bond affected Scott is not set forth in the papers.

DENVER LAND CONFERENCE
Meeting Between StocKmen and a
 Federal Committee.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 3.-A conference between western stockmen and the federal special land committee opened in this city this morning with one hundred delegates representing every western state and territory in attend ance The arrival of Secretary Will son of the department of agriculture is delayed with that of a number of other delegates, but all are expected to reach Denver tonight or tomorrow at the latest when the actual work of The con- ference will begin. F. J. Hagenbarth of Utah is to preside over the confer ence. Clifford Pinchot, chief forester of government and F. H. Newell, in charge of the reclamation service will be in attendance throughout the con ference.
 The discussion today was on the bill introduced in the last congress for the repeal of the stone, timber and desert land act and the communication clause in the homestead act. The pre- vaidng sentiment was against the bill. The delegates consider that the home stead act, especially as far as appli- cable to the western country should be enlarged rather than restricted.
 The discussion on the forest reserve problem brought out the fact that western stockmen are not opposed to the / 'eservation of the forest. Their grievance is that garzing and agri- cultural lands are often included in re- serves from which stock are exclud ed. They also ask that rules govern ing these reserves be modified so that sheep may graze upon them as well as cattle The discussion had not con- cluded at adjournment and will be con- tinued tomorrow.

WHY NOT ENDoW MEN?

turn some part Of this volume of be.

they might be contributing even more
largely in some instances to the prog.

and well'being Of their fellows. We
mean by this the selection OF men of
character, experience and proved abil.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG.

How old are you? The adage says
that women are as old as they look
and men as old as they feel. That's
wrong. A man and woman are as old
as they take themselves to be.
Growing cid Is largely a habit OF
the mind. LAS a mar thinketh in his
heart so is he" II he begins shortly
after middle age to imagine himself
growing old he will be old.
To keep ones self from decrepitude
is somewhat a matter Of will power.
The fates are kind to the man who
hangs or to life with both hands. He
who let's go will go. Death is slow
only to tackle the tenacious.
Ponce de Leon searched in the
wrong place for the fountain of youth.
II is in ones self. One must keep ones
self young inside. So that while "the
outer man perisheth the inner man is
renewed day by day"
When the human mind ceases to ex-
bert itself, when there is no longer an
active interest In the affairs OF this
nde, when the human stops reading
and thinking and doing. the man, like
a blasted tree, begins to die at the top.
You are as old as you think You are.
Keep the harness on. Your job is
not done.-Milwaukee Journal.

HIS DUTY TO TEST ALE.
English Official Fined 80 Cents for
Nealectina His Duty.

Among the curious old customs still
surviving in England. one of the most
interesting is that at Dunstable. where
the town council has an official ale

other day fined 81 cents for neglect OF
duty. and before being reappointod to
II he gave promise to discharge faith
fully his service in future.
Last Saturday night he set out on a
round Of the public houses. At each
of them he called for ale, which was
willingly given when the warrant had
been read. setting forth his duties as
follows: ITO know good ale. to taste
the assise and goodness Of all ale
within the precincts OF the manor. and
TO look after the measures used in
public houses"
At most Of the places which he
visited he was able to give q guarantee
that the ale was "of good body. free
from harmful substances. and Of full
measure"

THE WEST LENDING MONEY.

II has not been very many years
since the great and growing West was
largely dependent on the money CEN
tiers of the far East for the greater
part of the money needed in all lines
Of business. Funds required for about
everything from crop moving to coun-
ty c%ourthouses had to be secured from
Wall street or some Of its adjacent
branches and the charges for this
money in the aggregate made quite
a drain on our traffic profits. This
dependence on the East had a tenden-
cy to belittle the importance Of the
West in the eyes Of the Manhattan
money kings and the possibility OF
a release from this commercial bond
age to them received but scant con-
s%ideration. II is now being forced
upon them with unmistakable clear
ness. Not only has the West devel-
oped a financial power that renders
her almost wholly independent Of the
East, but western capital is actually
invading the domain OF Wall street
and picking up financial bargains

oily, that great money power had come

NO PLACE FOR sHIRkER.

Then il bluntly follows that there
Is no religion at all in shirk and no
salvation for the shirker. There must
be a new vision Of honest labor, as
the hopefulest sign OF manhood. To
cut down our work to a minimum is
the new sin OF the twentieth century.
To hinder a man or a woman from
earning daily bread violates not so
much civil law. Is the Golden Rule.
We have got a huge lie imbedded in
our modern view Of labor. II is some.
thing to be avoided, something to be
legislated out as far as possible. The
new religion will demand more work
rather than less, but a fair division

BEAUTY ON THE DOWN GRADE

A warning note is struck by a lady,
who has both medical and literary
skill, against the reckless disregard
Of those laws which make for beauty.
We English are growing palmer, she
AYERS. simply because we allow even
our children to be affected by the
stress and strain OF modern life. The
snartness, the ability to look after
themselves and the athleticism of the
women and children Of the present
time spell physical ruin. Beauty is
rarely seen nowadays In its u~nadorned
style. Lovely women are artificial
products, and really lovely children
are as scarce as auks' eggs. The rea.
son is that our expressions have
grown anxious. eager, cold, our limbs
and members are strained out of
shape by ~overexerc!se. our complex.
ions and hair are starved for lack of
nerve force. The exquisite complex.
ions, luxuriant locks, delicate features
and clear, innocent-looking eyes that
N associates with beauty are so sci.
dom seen as to be quite remarkable
when they are, and we are threatened
with a still further decrease OF these
elements OF good looks unless we
bring back u girls to the prunes
and prisms style of u%pbringing. which
perhaps after all is the best for them.
