WANT SPRING SHOOTING.
Cttumwa Sportsmen Petition Against
Passage of Law.

A petition in circulation in Ottumwa
during the past few days protesting
against the passage of a law at present
before the state legislature which will
prohibit the shooting Of migratory
birds, such as geese, ducks, etc, during
the spring months, is meeting with a
cordial reception from all persons who
enjoy shooting and hunting. A large
number of names has already been aft
fixed. The petition will be forwarded
to Senator S. III. Harper and Represen-
tative A. w. Buchanan, who are asked
to use their influence to prevent pas
sage of the law. The principal objec-
tion on the part Of Iowa and Ottumwa
sportsmen is that the cutting off Of the
spring shooting will practically destroy
all opportunity to indulge in duck and
goose shooting, as there is absolutely
no fall shooting.

Senator Jackson today introduced a
bill to repeal the law under which the
tax ferrets' now operate in Iowa.
Senator Jackson is from Woodbury.

and it is said he has had many COM
plants from constituents regarding
the tax ferret" law. The murmurs
against the measure have. of late be-
come so loud that the Sioux City man
had to do something to stop them and
hence the measure introduced in the
senate today. There Is much specu-

bills becoming a law and there will
doubtless. be hard fight when it
comes up for committee action. Many
of the Legislators believe that the law
is a good one while others have been
heard to express themselves as being
against it..

that person who heals by means OF

a bill that has been expected. for some
time and apparently is intended to in
