Spring Slaughter Has Begun
and Many Hunting Parties
Are Being Planned
SOME OPPOSE wANroN KILLING
The Coming Legislature Likely Will be
Petitioned to Pass Measure to Pre-
vent It - Eager sportsmen Say No
Break in the Weather Will Come to
Stop Northward Flight.

Special to Times Republican,
T Onawa, March 6.-With the sun
shining from an azure sky, the Their
mometer away up and the whole north
west touched by the balmy southern
breeze, the ducks have begun to arrive
in vast numbers. All the sloughs,
lakes, rivers and feeding grounds along
the lowlands nessr here seem to Wei
come the tired folk from the southland.
With set wing and outstretched necks,
flock after flock of red heads and mall
lards dipped their tired bodies into the
surrounding waters or some cornfield
to feed. The spring flight is on. The
aspiring hunter is ready. Their whole
sale appearance in vast numbers has
caused an exodus of hunters to the
favorite grounds. The only fear is
that no break in the weather may re-
suit and thus stop their flight north
ward. Should al cold spell or sud-
den storm strike this section. then
the ducks would rest and not venture
far from their feeding grounds and
1850
hunting in this section is when just
this present kind OF weather comes
along and lasts week. This brings
the fowls from the south and without
lingering they migrate to the north
Then IL cold snap results, back they
come in huge flocks ahead of the fall
ing temperature and thousands OF them
never see the northland again.
One hunter near Salix made Kill of
forty in an hour only a few days ago.
Numerous hunting parties are being
planned for the next few days and
many birds will fan. Many hunters
disdain the spring shoot and an effort
will likely be again made in the COM
ing legislature to do away with the
wanton killing Of old birds when in the
fall the choice is better and the dan
ger Of extinction slighter.

gized for as being made by neigh
Dor, the family cows being dry; the
sale came from New York state; and
the coffee from Brazil; and for fact.
the only thing connected with that
meal which was really produced on
the farm was the blessing asked on
the food and the appetities which con-
sumed the good things. And this man
was working like a slave to raise fat
that time) is cent oats and corn, and
hogs at SO per llundredweight to pay
the bills for this sort of living. This
is all wrong. just SO Tar as intelli-
gent skill and care exercised both III
the farm home and on the farm itself
will permit, the raw material produced
on the farm should be there so used
and converted into finished products
as to supply, SO far as possible, the
home needs of the farmer and his fam
lily.
The farmer is a producer and the
number of articles he can afford to
manufacture is very limited, being
governed entirely by circumstances.
For instance, If he lives near can
ming factory an extra acre OF sweet
corn will pay for all the canned corn
the family can use in a year at half
the price Of the labor and expense of
canning it at home. The farmers of a
prosperous community near here pat
ronize creamery and find it econom-
ical to buy their butter there. 1t may
be economy to buy few pounds OF
meat during the summer season rather
than butcher a hog. He certainly is
justified in using the best flour in the
market. Coffee doesn't grow in Iowa,
nor salt either. A hundred years ago
our eat-grandmothers made their
own cloth, but housekeepers can't af-
ford to do the. like these days. Better
methods of production and the judi
cious expenditure of the proceeds de-
rived from farm products, are matters
that need the careful attention of the
farmer rather than system of econ
omy based on the theory of home man
ufacture of articles, the making of
which should be left to those with ia
cilities and advantages which he does
not possess. c. d. WILSON.

Sigourney.
The case of the state Of Iowa VS.. c..
e. Nelson was tried Friday and the
jury brought in verdict OF guilty. Mr..
Nelson Is a solicitor for wholesale
grocery house from Ottumwa that sells
direct to the consumer, and last Sep
TENDER he canvassed the people of this
place and sold considerable goods for
future delivery. Sigourney has an or
dinance that such solicitors are nothing
less than peddlers and must secure
license before they can sell legally in
this place. This Mr.. Nelson refused to
do and he was arrested and indicted
for violation of the town ordinance
He is backed by his company and the
case will be appealed to the supreme
court.
Sidney.
The story Of Mrs. Mary Lightfoot
who died at the county poor farm two
miles south Of Sidney, is one of unus-
ual sadness and pathos. She was the
mother Of seventeen children, but none
responded to her pleadings for their
presence in her dying hours, altho she
had some living within dozen miles
of here. She was the wife Of an old
soldier. and asked the friends to give
her burial, but they turned deaf
ear to her request. No relative went
near her when she was dying and no
one attended her funeral except the
inmates Of the county farm. With no
one there to comfort her, no loving
word to say, the aged mother died a
pauper. She sleeps in potter's field
with no stone to mark her resting
place.

Council Bluffs, March 6.-Hoary-
haired, bent with age, and believing
that he had but short time to live,
''Uncle" James Monroe, living on a
;twenty-nifie-acre farm, two miles east
OF Woodbine, called in two Of his
sneighbors, Charles Davis and w. c.
Williams, and directed them to dig
down into a certain spot on his land
near Picayune creek. They did, and
to their surprise, found can filled with
gold coins, amounting to $2,7S0. This
amount, with other money and his land,
! has been bequeathed to three persons
in a will which was made by Mr.. Mon
roe several days ago, following stroke
of paralysis. Mr.. Davis declares that
he has $4,000 in gold buried in a lot in
Omaha and search for it will be made
Immediately.
Mr.. Davis. who is now about IS years
old, has been known for years as a
cynic, woman hater and miser, and the
reverses and vicissitudes of his earlier
life, which are said to have made him
such, are interesting.
When the western gold fever was
on. he was among the many who
sAocked to Colorado. There he made a
small fortune in a short time and de-
cided to settle down on farm. In the
meantime he met a woman and they
were to have been married, but before
the wedding day she Is said to have Sc
cured Sic, 900 in gold from him and dis
appeared. He had but 5000 left, with
which amount he came to this vicinity,
disguised with womanhood and the
world in general. Here in Council
Bluffs he exchanged his 5000 in gold
for $1,400 in greenbacks and with these
purchased the land on which he still
resides. This was more than thirty
years ago. He settled down all alone
ON this tract Of land and worked Diff
gently saving every cent Of money
above his actual expenses and convert
ing 1t into gold. Monroe seemed to be
crank on gold and could rarely be
persuaded to accept paper money.
!, IT is thought that Mr.. Monroe can
not live long, and. seeming to realize
this, is making preparations for his
death and burial. He has ordered a
81, 600 monument to be placed over his
grave. He says that he has no blood
relations. and all the money over the
amount set aside for his burial expen-
ses has been bequeathed to the daugh-
tiers Of the woman who cared for him
until he was a man.
When the money was dug up yester-
day Mr. Monroe added to it $50 gold
piece which he had in his pocket and
Instructed y. w. White, who is named
Sas executor Of his estate, to place the
amount In q bank.

Public sentiment was that the boys

from respectable families and that
