Upon his return from New York, DR..
j. w. Morgan, of Oskaloosa, brought
along one one thousandth part of
grain of radium, for which he paid $3.50.
He secured it to try on an obstinate
case of cancer. If the treatment is
success, and he makes satisfactory
report to the government, he will get
rebate of $50, which represents the
tariff on the chemical, being imported
from Berlin. This is undoubtedly the
first radium ever brought to Iowa. 1t
retails at s5,O00,00O an ounce. DR.. Nor
gan was the first man in Iowa to use
cocaine in the practice of medicine.
Exposure to sudden climatic
change produces cold in the head and

without pain, does not irritate or cause

An unfortunate alteration took place
last Sunday between Frank Gardner
and Alph Shira, two we'll known and
respected young farmers of the neigh
berhood southeast of town. The quar-
rel took place in front of the Gardner
house and was occasioned by the latter
charging that Shira's son was RESPONSE
BILE for soaring team and causing it to
run into Gardeners spring wagon and
damaging it to some extent. During
the quarrel, which waxed hot, Gardner
invited Shira to get off his horse, and as
| the latter started to do so Gardner
| drew revolver and shot at him three
times, but without effect. Gardner was
arrested and waived examination before
justice Lowry and gave bond of $1,000
for his appearance at next term OF

TAX EXEMPTIONS.

The tax exemption question was not,
it appears, settled by the decision of
the Supreme Court, for there are those
whe declare the decision to be uncon-
stitutional. Further than this there
are indications that efforts will be made
to secure the enactment of some kind
of law, by the present Legislature, that
will result in exempting firemen, old
soldiers and others to the same or even
larger extent than they were exempted
by the laws declared invalid by the
courts. But any such efforts are likely
to meet with very strong opposition.
There is no lack of appreciation of
volunteer firemen, veterans, soldiers
widows, ETC., and there is no reason to
believe that equitable methods of re-
quitting them for services actually rem
dered would be obstructed; but the tax
payers are becoming decidedly averse
to thinning ont their own ranks and
increasing their W burdens. The

quents and tax shirkers to the actual
taxpayers of this State is becoming al
together too manifest. The tendency
now is to make all property and all cit
liens pay their equitable share Of the
taxes, and then to meet all just claims
by direct payment from the public
treasures. This is the constitutional
way and the right way. Once the ex-
emption door is opened for purely per-
sonal reasons and ten millions more of
property will not only escape taxation,
but will throw its burden on the prop
erty that is not exempted.-Newark
