in district court through an OPP
in'on rendered by the supreme
court today, which holds that
the Indictment was not properly
drawn. When the Indictment
was returned the defense filed
la demurrer on several different
grounds which was as follows:
"That the Indictment fails to
charge that demands were
made upon the defendant to
account for the public funds
and property coming into his
hands by any person entitled

Enthusiastic Boyer Ditch
Meeting

terested in the drainage of the
Boyer valley met i'm the City
Hall, Saturday aftern DON at
2::30. The meeting was called
to order by Mr. Ellis Jones who
aftera brief statement pres
ented the name of Mr.. II. B.
Cox who was elected chairman
w. L. Douglas was elected Sec
rotary. The chairman on talk
ing the chair stated the object
of the meeting to be that of
securing drainage for the Boy
er Valley, he gave the key note
to the meeting by stating that
what we want is drainage, a
free for all invitation was then
extended by the chair, and the
enthusiastic manner in which
those interested discussed the
situation left no doubt as to
the mind of the assembly. En-
gineer Wattles and Huff were
asked as to the feasibility and
practicbility of draining this
district and both concured in
the proposition that it could be
done. w. A. Jones set forth
the fact in answer to some in
quiry as to what was the best
remedy where the adjacent
land was lower than the water
i'm the ditch i'm times of high
water, that the only safe pro-
lection was provided by the
use of traps. VIM Fensler gave
quite a lucid explanation of the
relation of the present assess
ment on the land east of the
railroad to the Willow and AL
len Creek bitches now being
dug, setting forth the fact that
the benefit afforded by the Boy
err outlet was much cheaper un-
der the present arrangement
than could be secured by indie
pendent action these statements
of facts were supplemented by
data" illustrating the same.
Speeches were made by Messrs
Weatherly, Aldrich, Young,
and others. All were full of
earnest aggressive sentiments
in favor of a ditch. The situa-
ton that was perplexlng was
what to do in order to get what
was desired? Two facts seem to
be confronting, them one was
that they wanted a ditch and
other was that under the pres
emit arrangement they were not
gettingit. The meeting brought
out the situation that the far
mcrs east and south of Mo Val
ley, while bearing a heavy per-
cent of the tax for the Allen
and Willow Creek bitches were
not receiving proportionate
benefit. The meeting was in
every sense a progressive ditch
meeting not a word Of anti
sentiment would have survived
five minutes, the one determine
alton was to secure bitches.
Taxation we accept, but tax;
ton with drainage VIC mus
have. The whole trend of tie
meeting was, how can we get
what we want, in answer to
this all perplexing question
Col. j. B. Young the veteran of
land Improvement came to the
rescue aid n we'd that a COM
mittee be appointed to investi-
gate the situation and after Sc
curing information and legal
advice, to report to a future
carried and a commit
tee consisting TO Messrs. A
Edgecomb, Ellis Jones, and FL.
3. Cox We're appointed, the
meeting then adjourned full of
hope and enthusiasm.

The Dunlap Reporter says
"The dog poisoner is certainly
one that neither sleeps or rests.
He managed to get in his work
on Chas. Baird's pupand a ASLEEP
herd of Arthur Roberts last
Saturday. Gregg's dog got a
dose but prompt medical atten-
ton saved the animal. A load
of good sized shot administered
in the proper place might have
a tendency to check this infa-
NOUS work. But who is he?"

Tie Bible for That Eskimo
Missionary.

i'AaSSAOAASAy
Few. Mac Allister had a let
ter, our readers will remember,
rom an Alaskan missionary
G he letter was enclosed in one
from DR.. George Smiley, who is
now practicing at Candle,
Alaska.) AS the letter was
written partly in English and
partly in the Eskimo language
ii was not easy to do more than
guess at what the writer want
ed. We made out, however,
that he would like to get a
Bible like one he had seen in
some mission. The letter was
sent to the Bible House at New
York asking them to let US
know the co t of a Bible in the
Eskimo language, which was
what we supposed he desired.
A reply has come that there is
no translation of the Bible in
the Alaskan tongues. There
are so many different dialects
and so few that speak each that
it would not pay to translate
for them, so they are all being
taught English, and the Bible
our missionary saw must have
been English ABible will be
sent, costing Gncluding mailing
eXpense) about four dollars.
Anyone who would like to help
can leave something for this
purpose at the drug store of
Mr. George Smiley.
John A. Nash, who recently
sent samples of seed corn to the
college at Ames for testing, re-
ceived areport yesterday morn
ing that gave him a great sur
prise. He thought he had the
finest corn for years but the
test is much below the standard.
The white corn tested AZ per
cent strong, Is per cent weak,
and 40 per cent worthless. The
yellow shows So per cent strong,
Is per cent weak, and 30 per
cent worthless. With a test of
such low grade from corn that
was selected with the greatest
care by Mr.. Nash it becomes a
question of serious Importance
to all the farmers of Audubon
county. We notice that Prof.
Holden recently made a visit to
Harlan to give instruction in
the best methods of testing on
the condition that twenty far
mers would each bring in one
hundred ears for that purpose.
Audubon Co. Republican.
If all that is true in Audubon
County, why is it not equally
true in Harrison County? Look
to your seed corn, farmers of
Harrison County.

1t is surprising that some of
our republican friends think the
protective tariff schedules can
be changed! They are as un-
changeable as the law of the
Modes and Persians, and as sa-
cred to a "stand patter' as holy
writ, and to many more so, and
the republican that don't stand
pat, in Harrison county is no
better than a democrat!

little better than usual you will
know the reason thereof.
