ANOTHER SWINDLE.

What promises to prove an extensive
swindle was brought to light at Ames
few days ago. The alleged fraud
numbers as its victims two hundred
school ma ans of Story county. Two
silver-tongued grafters secured the
signatures of two hundred county
teachers to notes of $l2. so in payment
of membership in summer school to
be held in Ames by the National
Reading club next summer. The
members were to receive ten books be-
sides course of studies. The smooth
agents had secured the recommends
tion of County Superintendent Welty,
which they used in roping their vic
Tins in. The swindlers discounted
the notes at the banks for $l1. 80,
clearing up $4,000 and decamping.
The swindle was first suspected when
it was found that the notes were al
tered from a years time to sixty day
notes,

BIG GOOSE STORY.

Harry Pinkham OF Nevada, Story
county, Iowa, owns a Toulouse goose
which is indeed monstrosity and has
attracted great deal of attention a,
the various places at which it has beer
exhibited bv Mr.. Pinkham. The fowl
which is little over 2 years of age
weighs l44 pounds, and has been ex
hibired at the fat stock show at Chi
cago, at Des Moines at the Iowa state
fair, and will be taken to st. Louis tC
be exhibited this summer at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition. The
enormous weight of the goose has been
too heavy for its web feet and in order
to protect the goose upon the frozen
ground this winter. Mr.. Pinkham.. has
made for the fowl pair of rubber
shoes, which fit Gil the two web feet
The goose has been in the habit Of lay
ing an egg about every day, and these
eggs are of enormous size, being as
large as an ordinary water bottle and
the landlady at Pinkham's boarding
house recently made fourteen pies out
of one of the eggs which the goose
had laid.

HE WAS A SLAVE.

Saml. Maxfield of Westfield was a
caller here Saturday, and for once he
found us with leisure for an inter-
view. Mr.. Maxfield has the distinc-
ton of being the only citizen Of the
county. one of very few in the state,
who was born q slave. His home was
in Tennessee. near Memphis, his mas
ter being named Sims. When he was
about IS years old the Union army
reached his neighborhood, and it
didn't take much coaxing to persuade
the darkey boy to attach himself to
one of the passing regiments. and it
happened to be the 9th Iowa. He
came to independence with Capt. Mil
Ter and eventually worked his way in
to the colony of colored people in
Westfield. Here he married, bought a
piece of land, and has lived happily
ever since. Mr.. Maxield is great
reader and student of the Bible. He
is able to prove that Moses. Jacob,
Solomon and most of the great men of
the scripture were Philippians, and
thinks the Caucasian race developed
from tine Canaanites. Utilities and
other tribes of Gentiles who were ex-
cluded from the privileges and benefits
accorded the Jews by their Jehovah.

DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN.

Iowa has furnished to the nation
men who have won distinction in
politics, literature. art and athletics,
but it remains fo- Dubuque to offer a
real gourmand in the person of Phil
Melloy, the ''Glutton of Sylvia
Switch" who has issued a challenge
to compete with any man in the
United States in an eating contest.
not even barring sword swallowers or
any other museum freaks. and will
wager $500 that he can put away more
food in an hour than even the epicures
of old whose feats are Landed in fable
and song. To eat quarter of beef In
twenty hours Mr.. Melloy considers a
very weak task, but when a man un-
dertakes to get away with twenty
pounds of mince meat pie in one hour
the dyspeptic would feel like turning
over on his couch to breathe his last
and the man Of ordinary appetite would
call him a monster. Nevertheless,
Phil Melloy has accomplished these
feats and pocketed the money of skep-
tics who ridiculed him when he
boasted of his achievements at the
table and supported their skepticisms
with big rolls of the green that looked
too tempting to Mr.. Melloy to pass up.

GAS FOR SPRING GROVE.

On Friday representative of gas
light company was.here to see the city
dads in regard to installing a gas
plant. We understand the question
made favorable impression on the
board, at least, an investigation will
be made to learn if other towns that
are being supplied with gas light are
satisfied with the system. A gas light
plant can be put in somewhat cheaper
than electric light, so they say, and
the cost in running it is far cheaper
than that of electricity. We have got
to get something better than "tal-
low candle glimmer" to light up our
main thoroughfare which is mere than
we can boast of at present. Spring

HURT IN A WINDMILL.

Last week Tuesday afternoon while
Frank Bloomfield was at work on a
windmill on the Hall place south of
the city. he got caught in the ma
chinery in such way as to break both
bones in his left arm just above the
wrist. But for Mr.. Bloomfeld's pre-
sence of mind in stopping the mill the
arm must have been hopelessly
crushed. Mr.. Bloomfield had only
taken out an accident policy that
morning in the Travellers. From this
he will get So per week while laid
up. He is also member of the Yoe-
men and will be entitled to 500 from
that society. West Union Argo.
