HAPPENINGS IN IOWA
EVENTS OF a WEEK THROUGH.
OUT THE STATE.
Report That Iowa Farmers Would
BE ousted From Twenty.seven
Thousand Acres Of Land
Proves Untrue.


An item dated Webster City, Ia,
has appeared in several newspapers in
Iowa and Minnesota to the effect that
a notice has been sent out by the gov
eminent which will probably result In
ousting the holders of $4,000 acres of
disputed land originally granted to
the Sioux City and st. Paul railroad,
which did not earn the land because
It failed to construct It's line along
the points originally stipulated in the
grant.
The fact is that $500 acres Of valu-
able farm land In o'Brien and Dick.
inson counties, Ia, are in dispute. An
investigation is now being conducted
by the land office at Washington with
view to bringing suit to recover the
land should it be proved that the gov
eminent has good case. Should
such title again repose in the govern
ment, ample notice will be given the
occupants Of the land, Of the date OF
restoration of the land involved, and
such notice would be sent to them
through the land Office at Des Moines.

John D. Rockefeller was bitterly ar
raigned in an address given at the

Robert La Toilette of Wisconsin. He
denounced John d. Rockefeller as the
greatest criminal of the age, and de-
clared that II he lived million years
he could not atone for his crimes. 81
hear John has been attending prayer
meeting again" said the governor.
We'll, now, that Is nice. tell you, by
the eternal, II he lived a million years
he could not atone. He gives with
many hands, but he also robs with
many hands. He is the author of the
odious rebate system, of which he has
built trust on oil. system which
WAS rejected by the modern better
class Of flnanciers. but of late has been
accepted. Rockefeller is branching
out, and in time the banking system
OF the country will be under his CON

save him. He will be Judged In Gods
