COLODIMS CASLIGHT
Frost SEXES Pipes and Con-
denses the Gas.

During the past three weeks COM
plants have been received from differ
ent parts of the city that Illuminating
gas has not been burning as brightly as
previously, and consumers were led to
suspect that they had been receiving
an inferior quality of gas. The reports
received indicate that the lights have
been burning more dimly, but the gas
company declares that its plant Is run
ming at it's usual pressure and attributes
the poorer light to the continued cold
weather.
"The cold has the effect of condens-
ing the gas" said II. J. Gille, general
superintendent of the ST. Paul Gas
Light company, yesterday. I'VE always
suffer more or less during the winter,
but we have had a harder time this
season than ever before on account Of
the long continued cold SPELL The frost
has penetrated far below the level of
our pipes and they are badly frozen.
We do not look for relief till warmer
weather arrives.
1.-The city has retained the right, un-
der the franchise recently granted, to
inspect the company's plant and to in
NCSoSdCS OH CO11lp4dlI1lS CIldT5lA the
company with furnishing an inferior
quality of gas. The franchise gives the
city council authority to appoint and
fix the duties of an officer, who shall be
required to make Investigations of the
company's plant and all its meters.''
The office Of meter inspector has not
yet been created by the council, but a
resolution will probably soon be intro
duced in the assembly or board Of al
dermen providing for the establishment
Of the Office.

| HORSES ARE SCARCE
And HIGH PRICED
Prominent Dealer Says That
Farmers Have Stopped
Raising Them.
There is a scarcity of horses.


With the advent of the automobile,
following the electric car, the bicycle
and the motorcycle, old Dobbin has
fallen so far behind in the swift race
of modern progress that extinction Of
his race will be only a matter of years
unless horse raisers again turn their
attention to him.
During the past four years we have
felt the decrease in the supply of
horses" said a Midway dealer yester-
day. And now we have great difficulty
in obtaining enough to meet demands.
A few years ago when the bicycles first
became rage, horses could be had al
most for the asking. A good team could
be purchased for from 800 to $50. But
then the farmers and stockmen from
whom we get our supply saw there was
no profit in horse raising and the result
is that now there is a scarcity good
team costs now as much as $500.
"As soon as the spring opens up the
price of horses is going to the top notch.
The reason is the same that prevailed
during war times. There are few horses
on the market. They have been so
cheap during the past few years that
everyone has gone out Of the business
of raising them. That Is always the
way.
No Money in Raising Horses.
Everyone always quits at once and
we are just beginning to feel the effects
of the decision the farmers reached a
few years ago, that there was no money
in raising horses. A horse must be
four years old before it is any good,
and it will take some time before the
present scarcity is remedied. Horses
viii be high and scarce for some time to
come.
"A few years ago Texas horses were
shipped up here by carloads. Now
such a thing is a rare occurrence. The
bronchos are so treacherous that the
only inducement to buy them is
ridiculously low price. The stock Of
bronchos has been practically exhaust
ed and the cattle men of Texas had no
money to go into the business Of rear
ing more to supply the market. Now
horses are as high in Texas as any
where. The man who has followed the
policy of the farmer who got rich by
sowing the seed that was cheap, when
all his neighbors were sowing the seed
which had brought the highest price
the year before, and who has been
quietly raising horses for the last four
or five years, will now reap the reward
of his wisdom.

GOV. CUMMINS TALKS
Iowa Legislature Is Struggling
With Primary Law.

"a good many Iowa newspapers are

Gov. Van SAINTS office yesterday after
noon. Gov. Cummins came over from

why they've scarcely finished count
Ing the votes yet. Next to the Iowa
idea in Importance in my state, is the
question of primary election law
modelled after the famous Minnesota
law. 1t is before the legislature now
in session, but it is evidently up against
a stone wall opposition.
"The ostensible purpose of the law
is as remedy for corruption in party
management, but the real merit is that
its passage will put the management of
state affairs closer to the people. Some
of the newspapers are opposing the bill
on the ground that it's passage and that
Of biennial elections will keep the peo-
pie voting all the time, but the source
Of the real objection is that biennial
elections will deprive some of the
newspapers of little pap.
"The measure providing for biennial
elections passed the last legislature, but
our supreme court held that the law
was defective, inasmuch as only the
title of the bill and not it's full next had
been spread on the journal of the
house. The measure calls for con-
stitutiona1 amendment and the people
have voted afirmatively, but this will
all have to be done over again.
THE only disagreeable feature of the
bill is that it gives me another year of
Office and am anxious to retire. The
fact Is have been trying for some

ARE AFTER DUNNINGS
Depositors of Defunct Mt. Ayr Bank
will Prosecute Dunnings on a
Criminal CHARGE.

| A number of the depositors who lost
their money in the failure of the Dun
ming bank at Mt. Ayr last winter have
decided to institute criminal charges
against president Day Dunning and
cashier Clyde Dunning who were in
charge Of the Citizens bank at the time
of the failure. Some time ago L. w.
Laughlin was appointed by Judge Tow
ner as a special county attorney. to
take charge of the prosecution Of the
Cummings on account of county attorney
+. B. Fuller being the attorney for
Cummings. The depositors think that
both the Dunnings should go to the
penitentiary for the wrecking of the
bank, as it is claimed they received
deposits for years after they knew the
bank was insolvent. Notices have been
sent to all of the depositors asking
them to attend a monster meeting of
depositors at Mt. Ayr on Saturday of
this week. 1t is proposed to retain the
best legal talent that can be secured to
assist Mr.. Laughlin in the prosecution,
and under the circumstances which are
known to exist it looks as if there could
be no escape for either of the Cummings
from having to serve term in the peni-
tentiary. The failure of the Mt. Ayr
bank was one of the worst in the hist
ory CT southern Iowa, many widows and
orphans having every dollar they poss-
essed in the world on deposit in the
bank as the Cummings had for years
been considered the soul of honor and
their word was considered as good as a
bond. At the time of the failure Day
Dunning made the statement that he
had been humping along for more than
twenty years, getting deeper and deeper
in the hole each year. The depositors
will not receive to exceed twenty-five
per cent of their deposits and it is prob
able that when the final settlement is
made the dividend will be even less
than this amount. Ever since the fail
ure there have been many who demand
ed that the Cummings be criminally
prosecuted and from the present actions
it looks as if the depositors were in
earnest and would not be satisfied until
both of them are behind the bars.

Lucinda Markb berry Webster

Was born in Putnam county, Indiana,
December II, 1886, and died at her home
five miles southeast of Leon, on Friday
July y, 1904, at the age of 81 years, z
months and II days. She was united in
marriage to S. Webster in Indiana in
the year 1851, and moved to Decatur
County in 1852, settling on farm in
Eden township where both died, the
husband having preceded her to the
world beyond on Nov, 13, 1898. To
their union ten children were born, six
living at this time as follows: Thomas
Webster, of Decatur county. Lem Web
ster, of Soldier county, Kas. Sam Web
ster, of Henderson, Iowa, John Webster,
Mrs. Julia Hubbard, of Hennessey,
Okla, and Charles Webster, of Washing
ton. Mrs. Webster united with the
Church of Christ in 1901, and lived a
consistent and christian life until she
passed to her reward. The deceased
was greatly admired as a noble women
and good neighbor and her death is
sorely regretted by the entire neigh
borhood. The funeral services were
conducted at the family home in Eden
township, on Sunday afternoon, July "a,
by Elder Will Elmore, of Moulton, the
ipterment being in the Meek cemetery
near her home.
