JUVENILE COURT LAW.
Hon. .. G. Mott Of thIs County
Urges an Amendment.

In the following interview fonud in
the Sunday Register & Leader, our
representative says: 81 am especial
ly interested in one amendment Offer
ed to the juvenile court law, that is to
remedy a palpable defect which the
trainers of the measure never thought
of. They live in Des Moines, where
you have courts in session all of the
time. But out in the country, the dis
trict court will only sit in county
three or four times year and in the
interim, we have no district Judges.
Now, under the law, juvenile offenders
must be hailed before the district
judge. The result is that for ten
months in the year we have no Judge
in our county before whom juveniles
may be be taken. We cannot keep
them in the jail in the meantime, of
course, that is preposterous. The re-
suit is that for the larger part of the
year the law becomes nullity in
most of the counties of the state.
/ have suggested that the mayors
of towns and cities be constituted mag
istrates with equal jurisdiction with
the district judges, so far as juveniles
are concerned, when the district court
is not in session. That will effective.
ly remedy the difficulty and alwa US
give us q magistrate before whom to
arraign the Juveniles instead of leav-
ing us without any means of admins
tering the law during most of the year.
The law only permits the punishment
of the Juveniles in a certain way and
when the court is not sitting to admin
lister the law, there is nothing to be
done with the juvenile offender, who
soon comes to realize the fact. The
comforting of authority on mayors
would be consistent with the theory
of our institutions, it seems to me.
and would be an effective way to dis
pose of the defect"
1t has been the study of the Iowa Mu-
nicipal League for some time to give
the mayors of cities something to do.
1t has been suggested that they be
made judges of Juvenile courts. 1t is a
fact that they have been stripped of
all authority under the law, and it
has been suggested that this would be
an effective way to keep their time en-
ployed and relieve the district judges
of distinct burden"

Commercial Club.

The Audubon Commercial Club met
last Friday night and wound up the
business left over from last year, dis
cussed plans for the present year, and
held the annual election of officers.
The following officers were elected for
the year 1906: John A. Nash, Pres,
H. j. Mantz, Vice Pres, Ed Bilharz,
Sec, Chas VanGorder, Treas, John
Weighton and Peter Rasmussen, mem.
bers executive committee. This is a
strong set of officers and no doubt the
affairs of the club will be we'll manag-
ed during their tenure. This organ
ization is power for good in our
midst and we should appreciate that
fact by helping to make it a success.
The matter Of celebrating in Audubon
next July 4th was taken up and dis
cussed. The consensus of opinion
seemed to be that Audubon should
celebrate.

"Mr. Byers has also had some ex-
perience in politics. He was MEM
Der of the lower house in the Doth,
9th and 2Sth general assemblies, be-
ing speaker during the regular and
special sessions of the 9th. He was
especially able and fortunate in his
work in the house, performing all his
duties promptly and well, and making
large number of friends throughout
the state. These three terms consti-
tute the extent of his services as an
Office holder. He was an active can
didate for the Ninth District congress
ional nomination at one time, and
has had much favorable mention for
governor.
"Mr. Byers for several years has
been warm personal friend and sup
porter of Gov. Cummins, and contin-
principles advocated by the governor.
He does not wish, however, to an
nounce himself as the candidate of
any faction, preferring that his can
didacy be considered upon the ground
of his fitness for the place. He makes
his plea for support to the great Re-
publican party of the state. without
respect to faction.
"Mr. Byers' record as a republican
has been continuous and consistent
since he became o voter. He has
labored for the proper building of its
platforms, as he thought they should
be built, and for the election of its
candidates after nomination. Shelby

"Mr. Byers is ready and effective

Change in Road Law.

An effort will be made in the iegis-
lature this winter to make change in
the road laws SO as to authorize the
trustees of each township to have the
public highways under their control
and supervision worked by using the
King road drag, not less than ten
times on each mile of road in one
year and at cost not to exceed fifty
cents mile. Also that preference
shall be given to the persons near and
adjacent to the highways throughout
the different townships.

paying annually over five millions OF
dollars for concentrated feeds and of
these not one pound is being bought
under a legal state guarantee. The
stockmen and feeders who are inter-

tains that it is really a comfort to a
horse to remove the heavy useless mass
of hair. City horses do not Craze in
pasture, so the argument that the
switching of the long tail keeps away
mosquitoes and flies has no value in
this argument; but decided objection
may be voiced against the nuisance
switching tails would be to horse or
pair in heavy harness. All style and
grace in front action, pair with hang

morning of the operation. and when it
is brought into the operating stall the
horse at once begins to MUNICH eagerly

the horse is hoisted to its tiptoes by
pulleys, when a gate is stuck across the

No one knows what the horses think

The Docking Of Horses.

Agitation is promised to urge the pas
sage of laws against docking horses
and owners OF horses are being peti-
toned to join in the crusade. Dealers
never dock horses, except at the re-
quest of a buyer. To offer horse tor
sale with a bob tail is to create the sus-
picion that it is second hand one that
has seen service before in the city. M
stead of being fresh from green past
ures. Yet the dealers rarely sign such
petitions. They declare that the opera
ton of docking is not excessively pain
full and is atoned for by the easy lie
it leads to. To have the tail shortened
is the initiation the rough horse pays
to gain the comfort and light duties OF
a private stable.
Fashion is not the only reason to act
uate the buyers in having their horses
docked, but it is the principal one. a
few say that the shortening of the tail
makes for cleanliness. as the tail does
not become draggled with mud and dust

Malt Coffee as Food.

A Russian army doctor attached to
the ed Turkestan Rifle Battalion has
been making some interesting expert
ments in the matter of nourishing SOL
diers. DR.. Cyrillus Koljago admins
tered to ten men for ten days malt cof-
fee as their sole beverage, with the re-
suit that their weight increased during
the time to the extent of 832 grammes
a man. A like experiment was made
by giving tea to the same number of
men of similar constitutions and for
the same number of days, and in their
case the doctor certified decrease of
weight per man to the extent of $40
grammes. He then put the twenty men
together back on to tea, and those whose
weight had been so signally increased
by the malt coffee had within ten days
lost GO grammes a head. The doctor
now states what is very important to
note, namely. that his experiments have
led him to believe that it is not merely
the nourishng attributes of the malt
coffee which mark this increase, but
that its effect is mainly to increase the
action of the digestive organs. enabling
them to draw from all other food taken
the utmost quantity of nourishment
each may contain.

interest in the United States. A hum
dred years ago the first tea plant was
introduced at Middleton Barony on the
Ashley River near Charleston, s. G.
Mr. Junius Smith in the forties made
experiments in tea culture at Green
vile. 8. c. and in the fifties the Uni
ted States Government collected in
Asia and distributed tea seed by the
Patent Office through the south Allan
tic and Gulf states, which later gave
rise to many thrifty little gardens
capable Of supplying all domestic
wants. While these experiments prove
the adaptability of the tea plant to the
United States they did not prove the
possibility of lucrative industrial un-
dertaking. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, however, in the
last quarter of the 10Th century un-
dertook an investigation along this lat
