Britt. July lit is being rumored
that the farmers of this vicinity are
organizing stock company for the
benefit of themselves to handle grain.
lumber and coal, and possibly general
merchandise. One reason for this, 1t
is claimed, is that Britt grain dealers
do not pay as much for farm products
as towns on the Rock Island in the
eastern part of the county. Just re-
Gently the retail merchants Of this
city formed an organization, and 1t is
thought that this move on the part Of
the farmers is the result, altho 1t will
not be admitted by them that it is a
boycott. 1t is a we'll known fact that
towns in this county on the Rock Is
land railroad have for a long time been
able to pay more for farm produce
than other towns on the roads and 1t
would seem certain that freight rates
make the difference in prices.
The farmers organization will soon
be completed. and officers have all
ready been elected. They will operate
IN Britt only for the present.

Old Man Lived the Life of Reoluse

Sum of Money Hidden About tho
Permissible Kept Queer Set of

Special to Times Republican
Ottumwa, July 11.-Searchers for the
hidden treasure of the late John Nell
son, the aged hermit who was found
dead from apoplexy at his lonely hut
near Munterville few weeks ago.
have been rewarded by finding melted
silver valued at nearly hundred dol
lars buried in various places near his
little home. Gold coins have also been
found among the ashes Of the house,
which was burned down by order Of his
relatives. and now 1t is believed that
treasure amounting to a good sum
was hidden about the place. If there
We're any papers they have been de-
stroyed In the fire and just what the
old hermit possessed will never be
fully known.
Attic the eccentric old man had
no income SO far as his neighbors
knew, and for nearly forty years had
been fed and clothed by his friends. he
paid the taxes on his little piece Of
land regularly and was believed by
many to have a large sum on money
buried somewhere about his little
homestead. Since his death search has
been made for the hidden money and
several tin cans containing melted sill
Yer and coins have been found. 1t is
believed that further search will result
in finding other buried valuables of
much greater value.
Kept Queer Books.
John Nelson was formerly a jeweler
and for several years mended the
watches and clocks for the residents OF
that vicinity. Whenever a watch was
brought to him and repaired he hid 1t
somewhere about the place, and when
it was called for again would consult
book in which he made queer marks
ineligible to no one but himself and
by which he was enabled to tell the
exact place where he had hidden the
watch or clock.
The book in which he kept his
records has been found and many
pages are filled with the marks which
1t is believed, if they could be inter-
preted would disclose the hiding places
Of all his money.
Life a Mystery.
Mr.. Nelson was man of good edu-
cation, was we'll read, familiar with
the Bible, Shakespeare and other
standard works and managed some-
how to keep fairly well posted on cur
rent events of Importance. For sew
eral years he was called in by his
neighbors in cases Of sickness and 1t
said to have been an adept practitioner
Of the old blood-letting surgery. He
Is said to have wealthy sister living
in the west. and number of well-to-
do relatives, but was always very reti-
cent regarding his family connections
and never gave the least intimation of
his reasons for living the life of a re-
,cluse.- OF late years he became more
eccentric and lived alone in his little
cabin and was seldom seen by any Of
his neighbors.

TALKED FIVE HOURS
Governor La Toilette of Wiconsin,
Proved Great Drawing Card at
the Jefferson Chautauqua.

Special to Times Republican,
Jefferson, July 11.-Governor LaFol-
lette of Wisconsin, was probably given
one of the greatest ovations that he
ever received by the audience of $4,000
people at Chautauqua park Sunday.
He was to lecture in the afternoon and
did sc, for three hours, but the audience
was not satisfied and they would not
let him cease for supper until he
promised to return and resume his ad-
dress in the evening. He did so, speak
ing five hours during the afternoon and
evening on representative government.
Citizens who had driven from i1s-
teen to twenty-five miles to listen to
what they supposed would be an ad.
dress Of an hour or two, remained and
were unwilling to go even after listen
ing to a discussion on good govern
ment covering a period Of five hours.
The speaker was TAT his best-elc-
uuent, optimistic, philosophical. loei-
cal and at times dramatic. Great cor
porate interests and their relations to
government were presented clearly and
forcibly. The tremendous influence of
wealth as a factor In the promotion of
the schemes Of the railroads was dis
cussed and its connection with the
home life of the citizen shown,
He gave the history Of the control Of
the anthracite coal regions by the rail-
roads and intimated that 1t was pos
sible that in the course Of time the
corporations of the country might con-
troll not only the legislative bodies
OF the states and the nation, but of the
farms as we'll.
The governor senator does not hide
his light or facts under a bushel but on
the contrary openly charges that a.
the present time the railroads are at
tempting both directly and indirectly
daily to influence the public by the lib
eral use of printers ink.
