TOOK poor DEBTORS OATH
Chris Herring Gains His Liberty
Before u. S. Commissioner,

Taking the "poor debtors"
oath before United States Com
missioner George F. Wright
procured Chris Herring his
freedom yesterday. Last Feb
ruary Herring was brought
here from Harrison county on
a warrant for bootlegging. At
his trial he was convicted and
sentenced to pay a fine of 500
and to spend thirty days in Jail
at Logan. The time sentence
was served, but Herring failed
to pay the fine for the very
good reason that he had no
money. He has since been held
in default of payment, but yes
terday made affidavit that he
had no property, which entitled
him, under a special act of con-
gress, to be released.
The United States statue
covering this point states that
a man who has remained in Jail
thirty days for nonpayme of
a fine may go before a COM
missioner and make oath to the
fact that he does not have pro-
perty to the amount of $50 over
and above exemptions. This is
called the 'poor debtors oat b.. !"
1t is a recognition of the prin-
ciple that Imprisonment fer
debt is repugnant to the llber-
al institutions Of this county

CrOp Bulletin.

For week ending May Is, '05
Des Molnes, Iowa. The week
was cool, cloudy and excessive
ly wet in all districts. General
rains or scattered showers were
of daily occurance, the amounts
reported ranging from 200 to
so inches, and the average
for the state was probably
above 300 inches. A number
of reports have been received
of local damage to buildings,
crops, and live stock by severe
windsqualls, hail and lightning.
Corn planting and other field
work have been much delayed
by excessive moisture, and in
considerable areas several days
of drying will be required to
put the soil i'm fit condition for
resuming planting operations.
On naturally dry or we'll tiled
lands planting may be resumed
within day Or twoWlth favor
able conditions.
Reports indicate that past
ures and meadows have rcceiv-
ed much benefit from the
moisture, except on low and
flooded lands, and all kinds of
small grain on we'll drained
soils are doing notably we'll and
|stooling out nicely. Early
planted corn is sprouting fairly
we'll.
There are some reports of in
jury to fruit by wind, hail and
excessive rains during the
blooming stage. Generally the
crop conditions are fairly good,
needing only warm and dry
weather to make the outlook
bright and satisfactory.

wcodblne Telephone Cstabany te
Make Connection With
New Line,


eve will be ready to enter
the city as soon as the local in-
dependent telephone company
is ready for business" said II.
A. Kinney of Woodbine yester-
day. Mr.. Kinney is president
and manager of the Woodbine
Telephone company and one of
the joint principals of tie
Woodbine Normal. With a
few other parties, he started in
the telephone business fifteen
years ago by the establishment
of a few lines in Woodbine.
Others asked to get into con-
nection with the first ones ard
in a short time there was an
exchange established in a drug
store. Later the Woodbine
Telephone company was incor-
porated and exchanges have
been built in Logan and Dun
lap, while a toll line runs tc
Missouri Valley and innumer-
able farm lines run out from
each of the towns. They have
l, 800 phones in working order.
"Mr. Day assures me that his
company will begin operations
soon and he thinks that they
will want to build out about
twelve miles into the country
and will want us to meet them
there. We will build to meet
this company with a copper
wire so that our long distance
lime will talk as good as the Bell.
This connection with Council
Bluffs is going to give us a
good standing with our patrons.
They will see that our company
has all the advantages of the
Bell phone. OF course, it will
increase our toll business, too,
but that is not the main reason
we feel so good over the pros
pect of getting connection here
We will become a part of a city
system, while before this We
have been but a country line.

Csnsumptlve Colony.

An institution which promises
to be Of large benefit to human
ity has been launched at Las
Vegas, N. NJ, under the name
National Fraternal Sanitari-
UNI for Consumptives," backed
by 100000 members of fra
ternal organizations in this
country. Fraternal City, it is
to be called, and the unique ex-
pertinent will be conducted
wholly on a cooperative basis.
By the tender of 81 100000 and
10000 acres of land from the.
Santa Fe railroad, the sanitari-
UNI was located a few miles
west of Las Vegas. 1t will
likely be opened for business
this fall and the expenditure of
$4,000 will be required to put
the place in condition for the
reception of patients.
The object of the institution
is announced to be purely phil
anthropic, inasmuch as the SAN
itarium will not be run for
commercial profit. That being
the case and there is no reason
to doubt 1.-THE Fraternal City
certainly has a splendid field in
which to do good. That pro-
gress has been made in the con-
troll of this disease is well-known
but the pity of it is that too
often the necessary means for
securing the benefits of mod
ern treatment are far beyond
the reach of the patient as
good health itself. If the new
venture opens up possibilities
for the hopeless of this class it
will do something to make tie
whole country grateful. 1t is
announced that most Of the
patients will, of course, come
from these fraternal orders,
but outsiders will be admitted
on payment Of a small fee.
This new move of fraternal en-
terprise will be watched with
Interest.
