of good that never leaves even the
most hardened criminal. The chances
are that the well treated prisoner Will
be better. and the misused one
worse man than when the law took
hold of him. Nevertheless people who
have suffered from chicken thieves
think the Hardin county jail about the
right place for them in it's present
condition..
Building is Well Kept.
The condition of the Hardin county
jail appears to be fully UP to the stan
dard. Sheriff Mttcrer has lived in
the residence portion of 1T ever since
taliing the office more than ten years
ago. anl objects seriously to the cir
culation of such reports. The jail IS
examined at each session of the grand
Jury and has always been reported in
the best possible condition.

Eldora, Oct 1.-THE Spencer
News monthly periodical published
eral store operated by Fred l.. Spencer
& Co., recently printed an article re-
Elected on the condition of the county
Jail here and as a result Sheriff Nit
terer of this place has filed an action
in the district court here against Fred
l.. Spencer Il Co., demanding $4,000
damages claiming the article in ques-
ton is untrue and libelous. The arti-
Gle mentioned 1t is claimed, it absolute
ly false. Attorneys M. j. Wade of Iowa
City and Charles A. Rogers of Eldora
are retained by Sheriff Mitterer. The
action will be pending at the term of
district court which will open in two
weeks in Hardin county, but in all
probability will not be tried until the
next term. The article published by
the defendant and which it is alleged
is false and libelous, is as follows:

The authorities of Hardin county
seem to have no sentimental ideas
about providing all the luxuries of life
for criminals, but rather have permit

condition of the Jail at Eidora be wide

do their work. But is 1t wise to treat
evil doors badly? A law-breaker who
is abused during his incarceration will
try to get even when he gets out, and

than ever. Better treat him as a man

REFORM AND RESTITUTION.

Restitution as we'll as reform is
working in the insurance companies.
If the Armstrong committee should
never make: a report, it has already
given a good account of itself in the
returns to policyholders in the New
York Life, the Equitable and the Mu-
tual. BY merely scratching the sur
face the committee has brought back
over a million dollars to the treasu-
ries Of the three companies. The
Equitable has gotten back the "yel-
loW-dog" fund Of seS6,ooo; the Depew
Improve ment loan Of $500, 900; $4,000
from Hyde and Alexander, their profits
in syndicate transactions; $4,000 for
the Cambon dinner, and $4,000 paid
for Hyde's private car; total 1891, 900
to the Equitable. The New York Life
has a definite promise of the return
of the $235,O00 given to Hamilton to
influence legislation The Metropolis
tan has received back from President
Hegeman $4,000 profits in syndicate
transactions.
In the way of reform. things have
been done. The Equitable has gotten
rid of Hyde and Alexander, who drew
S250,000 annually, and has in their
stead Morton at $S010O-a saving of
$4,000. 1t should be more. The
Equitable has no business paying
Morton $4,000 a year. Twenty-Five
thousand would be a big salary FOR
him. The Mutual mas coerced the SEN
lor cormorant of the McCurdy family
to cut his salary from S150,OOO to
$4,000 and has a promise of curtail-
ing the enormous commissions paid to
the junior harry and to the brothers.
in-law and nephews.
The committee has laid a foundation
for a new moral era in insurance. OF
course the amounts restored are mere
ly those which We're lying in sight.
There are many millions more which

civil suits based on the same tesr-
monv may bring back a great deal OF
money. The New York legislature

carefully in ne footsteps of Golden

platform of reform, embodylng many
of the ideas which made his novel
success. This is one author quite

THE M'CURDYS' MISFORTUNE.

Morristown, N. j., has it's heroes
and Richard A. McCurdy is one OF
them. Richard A. McCurdy did not
set a Carnegie medal. He did not
save a boy from drowning or rescue
an abused cat from the clutches OF
cruel bows. No surface heroisln for
Richard A. McCurdy. His is OF the
kind that goes to the roots Of ones
being and brings up great trainloads
of self sacrifice.
AS a young man, Mr.. McCurdy got
ioh with the Mutual Insurance COM
panv. He grew up with it. Leaving
Morristown every morning with his
dinnerpail in which Mrs. McCurdy had
hacked tongue sandwiches and raisin
ME with cold tea in the lower COM
partment, he crossed over to New
York and to his work. BY close at
tention to business he had risen to the
office of president and a salary OF
$3.50. 900 a year. b economy and care
the McCurdys We're getting up in the
world and McCurdy pere no longer
carried a pail.
But in an evil hour the legislature
began interfering in the affairs of the
company. 1t poisoned the minds OF
the trustees against Mr.. McCurdy and
they suggested to him that his salary
was larger than they could afford to
pay. Did Mr.. McCurdy resign? No.
He was too much of hero for that.
He told the directors he has always
stuck by the Mutual and he would
stick to it for longer if necessary. He
would not desert the company in this
hour of trial He would take $4,000
a year and try to get along on that. 81

McCurdy about it," he said, for. I

but she is as loyal to the Mutual as I
Mr.. McCurdy wiped several tears
from his left eye and started for

his faithful wife. He could not tell
her at first, but moped about the YER

ing them in the grass. His wife no.

about it. What is the matter, Dick ?"
she said. IF you have anything on
your mind, don't be afraid to tell me-
for am sure that this is the first time
it has ever happened"- Then he up
and told her. Maggie, the board has
cut me down to $4,000"
OF course, this was a pretty severe
jolt to the partner of the McCurdy
joys and sorrows and privations, but
after the first shock of the news, Mrs.
McCurdy did not take it so badly.
Mr. McCurdy was right when he said
she would make any sacrifice for the
Mutual. She has already begun a sys-
tenn of retrenchment which, it is hoped,
will pull the McCurdys out even at
the end Of the year. No, they will not

.Iow a plant can survive nowadays
is a mystery, for almost everyone has
some special enemy or enemies; in
fact, their name is legion, says the
Garden Magazine. There are biters,
borers, suckers and cutters; there are
mildew, rust, blight and scab While
there are Wholesale methods of de-
stroying most Of them, there are about
two dozen critters that have to be
known by sight and fought by special
methods. All insects may be divided
into two classes, the biters and the
suckers. The way to get rid of the
pests that bite and chew is to poison
their food, but the fellows that suck
the juices and pay no attention what
ever TO poison on the outside surface
Of plant have to be met and slain in
open battle.
