Great Western Extension.

Announcement, claimed to be
official, has been made that the Great
Western will build line from Arispe,
Iowa, through Creston, Greenfield and
Guthrie Center to Carroll and thence
to Sioux City. 1t is claimed that the
survey has been made and the terminals
and the greater part of the right of
way secured between Arispe and
Carroll. 1t is presumed that the OBJ
ject is to tap the Sioux City bust
ness and incidently secure the grain
and live stock products of north
western Iowa and the Dakotas, which
now go to Chicago, for Kansas City.

A Good Decision.

An Iowa judge in a decision rem
dered holds that mortgage given Oh
implanted crops is void. If this de-
clslon is good it would seem to appl,
to the increase of herd of mortgaged
COWS or flock of sheep as we'll, the
theory being apparently that thing
must exist before it can be encum-
bered. Joe Trigg.
Some more of that damnable "pre-
ferred claim" deal, where one party
gets in for debt before the spring
blowing is done, to be due in the
fall. Let the money lender, hotel
man, lumber dealer and land owner
take his chances with the grocer, the
blacksmith and the editor. Land
owners have gobbied up the land for
speculation purposes and get priority
OF landlord liens that cut out every
legitimate tradesman and business
man until he himself gets 'the "first
dig. ~ Let them take their chances
III Iowa with everybody else in collect
ing their debts. If the crop "don't
reach around" let them stand their
share OF the loss and farm their land
themselves or sell it to some who
will. Landlordism is the curse of
iowa today. 1t is putting in race
If renters who are serfs so far as
heir crops are concerned. Down
With this legislation of preferred
creditors. F" The lawyer is the only
nan who can get in besides the land

'wtul hard TO make their claims pre-
erred ones also. That Iowa judge

Population Fell Off.

Assessor F. H. Soil has completed
the census of the town of Elkader and
finds our total population to be 1925,
a falling off of about 100 from the
census of 1900 when we had 1871. One
of the reasons for the falling off is the
fact that the state census does not
include inmates of the asylum which
the national census did. Another is
the removal of men who were employ
ed in 1900 in the construction of the
many handsome business structures
Of which the town is proud. Argus.

EXPOSED MEDIUM
FICHTSFIERCELY
New York Woman Spiritual
ist Shown Up to Her Dupes
by Angry Virginia Man

NEW YORK, March 6.-Calvert Ber-
wick, a native Of Virginia, has caused
a sensational exposure of material
izing medium" in the latter's Lexing-
ton avenue apartments. In the midst
of a seance in a crowded room, the
medium. a woman weighing 800 pounds,
was dragged shrieking from her cabi-
net and tossed into the center OF the
circle Of dupes.
She fought like trapped tigress
Furniture was smashed, men knocked
down and glass broken before the
woman and her husband were finally
subdued Then three gas jets were
lighted and the medium was found
gasping in the center of the room, clad
in a mass OF gauZe, coated with phos-
phorescent paint. Half her spiritual
garb and her head-piece were in, the
possession of Berwick.
According to the Virginian, his
mother, a resident of this city, has
lost thousands of dollars in investments
made through the advice Of the spirits,
and Berwick stated that he intended
to prosecute, criminally and civilly, the
mediums responsible for the loss.
A tinkling music box, which had been
wound up just before, played Peace
Abide With Thee" during the fight.
