Supervisors Make Refund.

Over $500 has been paid back into
the country treasury by two members
of the board of supervisors of Della
ware county, the amount being what
was paid them for livery hire for
conveyances used in making trips over
the county in the discharge of their
official duties. The question of whether
or not the supervisors were allowed
to put bills for livery along with what
is allowed them for mileage was first
raised by the county auditor, and as
no ruling has ever been had on the
question, the board at their last
meeting passed resolution that no
more bills for livery hire would be
allowed. pending a decision on the
legality of the question. The subject
has been discussed at length in the
papers of the county and has caused
considerable comment.

Another Case of Self.DeStructiOn.

Coroner Strock was summoned to
the Maus home on the Iowa river in
French Greek township Friday, on
discovery of the corpse of Jacob Maus
in the barn. Investigation
soon proved that it was case of
suicide and an inquest was not neces-
sary. He was young man about %
years of age and was afflicted with
blindness. He had recently returned
from the state blind school at Vinton,
where he had learned broom making
and had purchased the machinery with
which to open up a broom factory at
New Albin. His venture preyed on
his mind and in fit of dependency
he ended his life. He had gone to the
barn ostensibly to do the chores, and
upon nOting..his continued absence his
brother instituted a search and found
him with life extinct. The young
mans mother has been an occupant OF
the county insane hospital for some
years past, which indicates that his
awful act was probably due TO mental
failing. -Wakuon Democrat.

Sewer System for New Hampton.

The city council is wrestling these
days with tine sewer question, with
view of putting in plant which
will dispose of the city's sewerage
and eliminate the danger of creating
a nuisance which is threatened under
the present system. Several meetings
have been held and the subject
thoroughly Investigated. The present
sewer tank is SO located that but little
more of the city can be reached
than new enjoys sewer privileges.
The purpose of the members of the
council is to place the new disposal
plant so that the whole city can be
reached and drained into it, and
in order to do this they have contem-
plated placing it at point southeast
of the creamery, near the Great
Western culvert. The only difficulty
so encountered is to secure 1.-THE land
there at reasonable price, and it is
to be hoped this difficulty may be
overcome speedily. The only alterna
tive seems to be to erect the plant at
or near the present terminus of the
sewer, and in case that is done it
will be many years before the east and
south parts of the city can have sewer
privileges. New Hampton Gazette.

A Deserving PenSiOner.

month. In fact this amount has been

he got check for the neat sum of 50,

considerable lot Of money, but we do
not think there is anyone who could
have their choice in the matter, who
would take ten times that amount in
exchange for their good health. Mr..
Kinter is in deplorable physical con-
dition being entirely helpless from

about the bird is that its face is

instead of feathers. The bird is still
alive and kept in cage by the owner,

Great Naval Battle Seems to Be Next
Scene in the Military Drama
in the Far East.

London, March 16.-A dispatch to
Lloyds, dated at Singapore, 6 p. M,
says the British steamer Hongwan I
reports having passed % Japanese war
ships off Horsburg, 20 miles east of
Singapore, at the entrance to the
Straits of Malacca.
The appearance of Vice Admiral
Togo's feet in the track that would be
used in any attempt by Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky to make for Vladivostok
is the most interesting news OF the day.
It is not known whether Vice Admiral
Togo himself is with the fleet.
According to the Daily Mails cores
pondent at Singapore, who visited the
fleet, the officers were unusually reti-
cent. Two japanese officers landed and
conferred with the japanese consul,
and it was understood by the cores
pondent that the squadron would soon
sail again, as it required nothing.
The presumption is that Rojest-
vensky's squadron is still off the coast
of Madagascar, but, as the ice in the
harbor of Vladivostok is beginning to
give way, the Russian admiral must
soon make decision whether to dash
for Vladivostok or return to Russia.
Naval experts here believe that Togo
will not come much further in quest O.
the Baltic squadron, on the grouno
that he cannot afford to run unneces
sary risks.

ing of station names to practical
system that has won for him the praise
and hearty thanks of a million of pas
sengers. When he initiates one of the

opens his mouth, and begins to play

Crawford has been on the fast trains
of the Illinois Central between Chi

When he first became a trainman he
noticed that a man or woman would
look him squarely in the face while
he was calling the station, and that
about the time the train had got well
underway from the depot at which the
passenger wanted to get off, Crawford
would find him sitting in his seat In
blissful ignorance of his having been

WHOLE LAW DEAD.
Congress Internationally Abolished
Lieu Land Selections.

Washington, March 15.-Without
intending to do SO, congress has appar-
emily repealed the lieu land law in its
entirety. It doing SO it has erased
from the statute books the law which
has been responsible for more fraud
than any other public land statute; it
has put an end forever to a system of
exchanges by which the Federal govern
ment has actually been cheated out of
millions of dollars worth of valuable
timber land.
In the closing hours of the last con-
gress, the senate passed bill that had
long been on its calendar, intended to
restrict lieu selections to non-timber-
ed lands. It was bill that had pre-
viously been passed by the house, but
which had been amended by the senate
committee. Because of this amend
ment,. the bill was sent to conference,
and there it was again altered until it
was amended out OF shape and accom-
plished very different purpose from
what it did as it passed the house and
senate.
Although the bill retained it's title,
can act prohibiting the selection of
timber lands in lieu of lands in forest
reserves" 7" its text was SO changed that
it not only prohibited the selection OF
timber lands, but all lands in exchange
for lands in forest reserves.
