Four Hundred Dollars Gets Iowa Man
Out of Scrape.

ATLANTIC, Iowa, July 31-A ro-
nance begun with a youthful love af-
fair, with an engagement later, to be
broken by the maid, who found an
other man more nearly approaching
her ideal than the lover of her youth.
threatened breach Of promise suit by
the broken-hearted lover, and a hur-
ried compromise by the fond father of
the wilful maid, are the interesting
events that have eliminated in the ac-
ceptance by the rejected lover Of $500
as balm for his bleeding heart.
The romance began here, where
Frank Libby and Miss Myrtle McWaid
We're playmates, and ripend into an en-
gagement while they were students at
Cornell college at Mount Vernon.
Miss McWaid was the belle of the COL
lege and of her home town, where her
father is a bank president and former
mayor. For a time the path of true
love ran smooth, but fate decreed that
the lovers must part. Miss McWaid
returned from college to her home
town. while Libby obtained a position
with a clothing company in Des
MoineS.
During the separation the romance
was rudely shattered by Miss McWald
falling in love with ]. H. Chambers of
Atlantic, and the image Of Libby was
crowded out of her heart and the en-
gagement was broken. So was Libby

suit for breach of promise, but final
ly agreed to drop the case upon the
payment of $400 by the girls father

WATER IN TUMELLO LOW.
Causes Crook County Irrigation Com.
pany Much Inconvenience.

Work on the Columbia Southern
ditch has been discontinued for the
present, says the Prineville Review. 1t
appears that Tumello creek does not
carry sufficient water for the $4,000
acres of the segregation, and that
therefore the company cannot secure
title to more than $4,000 acres until the
supply of water is augmented to meet
the duty imposed by the state land
board. If the report is correct, it is
too bad, as it will involve the con-
struction of an immense storage reser-
voir on the Tumello, thus putting the
company to a great expense. The
creek has never been known to be as
low as it is at present.

talked with the boys, and then he said:
It's too bad to send these good boys
to the penitentiary because they want
ed to have a good time on the first of
April When the boys were tried in
court, the jury said the boys were
naughty to play such jokes and they
should be punished a little, but the
judge said if the boys would be good
for one year he would say no more
about it, but if they got naughty
again he would punish them and put
them in Jail. The lawyer worked very
hard to show that the boys were good
boys and ought not to be punished
much, and he said some things that
made someone angry and because the
lawyer and somebody else belonged to
the platonic lodge the lawyer was ar
rested by the lodge.
Some of his platonic brothers were
angry because he saved the boys from
the pen1tentiary, and they said they
did not want to be platonic brother
to him any more. But after they
thought about. it a little, somebody
told them they were not children, but
were grOwn-ups, and ought not to be
playing such jokes on their brothers.
They thought some more about it, and
they said they would not play chill
dren's games any more with their
brother, and they stopped the game.
OF course 1 don't know all about it,
because it didn't happen here, but
when Dayton is annexed to Waits
burg l am going up there and join
that lodge. They do such funny things
1 think 1 would enjoy it.

CIRCUS POSTER LAWYERS.

If ever there was an sincerity in
the sarcasm occasionally employed by
lawyers that they do not try their
cases in the newspapers, it has been
eliminated from the Thaw case. 1t
has been tried ad libitum in the press,
not by the reporters, but by the pub
lie proclamations of the prosecution
and defense. Nearly every scrap of
material evidence has been solemnly
furnished to the public through the
newspapers and every time one side or
the other changed it's mind about the
line of battle the editors were advised
in good season to give the public warn
ing,
The defense has been rendered al
counsel between the defendant and his
mother and the comic opera situation
brought to a climax by one firm Of
attorneys suing another for the return
of the missing papers" On the
other hand, the district attorney, by a
sharp trick, kept busily at work ex-
aiming witnesses in the secrecy of
the grand jury room until the courts
stepped in and prohibited this process
of conviction by star chamber.
The main fact that a man was killed
and that the responsibility for term
mating his existence should be fixed
has been smothered under vainglorious
proclamations and counter charges of
unprofessional conduct The public
well understands that there is an ex-
cellent fee in defending Mr.. Thaw. and
that there is undying glory in convict
ing him. 1t is willing to have the
truth brought out and the Judgment
of conviction or acquittal based on
them rather than on the red posters of
the lawyers.

HONOR TO THE QUEENS.

The harvesting in Walla Walla's
farming sections has progressed suffi-
GENTLY to make it certain there will
be no crop shortage. The only serious
shortage is that of farm help.
1t has been a constant struggle on
the part of the farmers to induce men
to go to work in the fields this season
and few have succeeded in securing
enough men to handily care for the
wheat.
The situation can be no better de-
scribed than by noting the extraordi-
nary fact that all over the county the
women and girls have turned out to
work in the harvest fields and help
save the crops that might otherwise
be ruined because of inability to har-
vest at the proper time.
1t is situation without precedent in
this most advanced and enlightened
section of the great state of Washing

Iowa Lady Has Great Faith

ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTlCURA

81 had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face we're all broken out; also my arms
and the lower limbs as far as the knees.
I at first thought it was prickly heat.
But soon scales or crusts formed Where
the breaking out was. Instead of going
to a physician, 1 purchased complete
treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, In
which I had great faith, and all was
satisfactory. A year or two later the
eruption appeared again, only a little
lower; but before it had time to spread
l procured another supply of the Cutl-
cura Remedies, and continued their use
until the cure was complete. 1t is now
five wears since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of return. l
have taken about three bottles OF the
Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know
how much of the Soap or Ointment, as
I always keep them with me; probably
one half dozen of each.
az decided to give the Cuticura REM
edies a trial after l had seen the results
of their treatment of eczema on an
infant belonging to one OF our neigh
bors. The parent took the child to the
nearest physician, but his treatment did
no good. So they procured the Cuticura
Remedies and cured her with them.
When they began using Cuticura Rem,
edies her face was terribly. disfgured
with sores, but she was entirely cured,

five years, and her mother told me the

THE JOHN DIETZ CASE.

John Dietz, of Wisconsin, is quite
apt to have public sympathy since he
is battling with a corporation and is
exposing his life in defense of what he
considers his rights, yet what would
happen in this country if every man
who believed he had been gOuged in
a deal and cheated in a decision were
as obstinate, brave and defiant as John
Dietz is not difficult to predict. The
country and the cities would be under
martial law. and soldiers would be rae
ing over the land as they are in Russia
with the knout for children and the
lance for men. A reign of terror is
hard to justify under any circum-
stances. and John Deitz is taking a
large responsibility in bringing about
one even in restricted area.

difficulties of the kind under consid-

ton. Society, in other days, has
turned with shudder from the tales
of the working of women and children
in the fields. The delicately nurtured
could not comprehend the conditions
which would bring women and children
into hard labor alongside Of the men,
Nor, probably, will thousands of peo-
pie in the east be brought to true
comprehension Of the conditions ex-
listing here when they read of the
women and girls going forth to the
harvest with their fathers and brothers.
1t is only we, who are blessed with
an intimate acquaintance, who are
here to realize the heroism and devo-
ton of those splendid examples of
western American women that can ap-
preciate to the full the noble examples
being set.
The spectacle Of young ladies, nur-
tured in the lap of luxury, of women,
whose chief duties have been to look
lovely and preside at social functions,
going into the fields to take the places
of skilled farm WOrherS-and take
them successfully, tools one which
should arouse the pride of every true
westerner and bring home to him the
marvellous fact that God made woman
everywhere, but he made her best and
truest in the grand and glorious state
of Washington.
No greater paean of praise can be
sung for Joan of Arc than should be
voiced for those magnificent women

PACKERS GRATEFUL TO LORIMER

The pretense that the packers were
extremely eager for inspection and
wanted it as drastic as possible re-
ceives little support from the develop
ments of the congressional campaign
in Chicago. 1t will be remembered,
says the Minneapolis Journal, that Mr..
Lorimer, a member of the house from
a Chicago district, hurried home while
the inspection bill was still in commit
tee and that on his return the fight
against the Beveridge amendment be-
gan in earnest. Lorimer was the main
fugleman of the packers and he was
ably assisted by the dignity and sup
posed neutrality Of Chairman Wads-
worth. They succeeded in modifying
the Beveridge amendment in import
ant particulars and when they found
after ALL they made a mighty stand
and had the cost of the business sad
grounds"
Now the Chicago News openly
charges that Lorimer's campaign for
denomination is being financed by the
packers. They certainly owe some
thing to the individual who saved
them 100000 a year, and they are
not ungrateful.
Lorimer is the type of man who
breaks into congress as the representa-
tive of special interests. He has run
Cook county politics for years, and all
the people ever got out of it was drain
age canal scandals, street railway jobs
and gas-trust swindles. What the
people of Chicago put him into con-
gress for nobody knows. Unless he
earned his promotion by betraying the
interests of the people in lower sta
ton he has not earned it at all.
The Chicago district is called upon
to purge itself of such a misrepresen-
tative as LOrimer. The next congress
will doubtless be called upon to carry
forward the work begun by the pres
ent one, and the fewer obstructionists
of the Lorimer type who have votes
there the better for the people. On
tariff revision, for example, one would
hardly expect Mr.. LOrimer to stand
boldly for the people if the tobacco
trust or the sugar trust or any other
trust with swollen capital should just
happen to attract his attention. Mr..
Lorimer's connection with the beef
trust shows that he is not only auda-
cious and cunning, but effective. His
room is much more to be desired than
his company if there is going to be re-
form legislation in the next congress.
