Judge Lands, popularity known as the
"Foe of the Standard Oil" who assessed
that corporation S29,240,000 fine
the other day, is reported to have
squelched an energetic boom to make
him the republican candidate for govern
or of Illinois in the following man.
ner: eff you hear anyone talking
of me for governor or president,
hit him on the head with a base
ball bat" While that may be con-
sidered foul strike, yet it would have
merit in the eyes of those who have
been made weary of the spectacle of
enthusiastic simpletons rushing forward
with a presidential boom for every man
who stakes whack" at trust or cor
poration.

Hon. T. L. Maxwell was in Corning
Mrs. Maxwell and together with the
families of f. M. Widner, A. B. Turner
sr. and G. f. Andrews went to Clarinda
to attend the chautauqua several days.
While here Mr.. Maxwell was told that
many of his friends both republican and
democratic wanted him to consent to
make the race for congress. Hundreds
of the progressive republicans would be
pleased to support him in preference to
Hepburn, and on the other hand many
standpatters have said they would sup
port him in preference to any progress
sive that might be named. Mr.. Maxwell
says he is not looking for the honor.
When the name of Hon. @. r. Porter was
mentioned he said Porter was very
logical man and that he would like to
see him make the race-much prefer to
see him make the race to making it him
self. "In fact" said Mr.. Maxwell, IL

might be added here that last year

Gen. James B. Weaver for senator
from Iowa? Why, yes, certainly! Gen.
Weaver is grand old man of Iowa, bar
none, and is head and shoulders above
any other public man in the state. His
military record is one of the finest hon.
ors that can fall upon any mans Shout
ders and his learning, craftsmanship,
oratory and experience easily place him
on level with the really great men of
the present day. Gen. Weaver is the
soul of honesty, patriot and a grand
citizen and should the democrats of
Iowa succeed in placing him in the
United States senate it would be one
of the most signal honors that ever
came to the state.-Manson Democrat.

Editor Lisle of the Clarinda Herald
has astounded his stand-pat friends by
announcing that Allison will probably
be beaten at the primaries and that he
has served long enough any way. Lisle
is rank stand-patter and he has set
the politicians wild because his paper
is regarded as Hepburn's mouth piece.
1t is thought by some of the politicians
that Hepburn at heart, wants Allison
beaten, thinking that in that case he,
Hepburn, may stand show Of getting
the position himself.-Creston American.

Alex Miller in Washington Democrat:
The Des Moines Register-Leader says
Bryan is on the down grade, his popular

hear him at old Chautauqua, New York.
Every move he makes and every word
he utters is telegraphed all over the

wane. Indeed he is. That is, he is on

THE IOWA LEGISLATURE.

Everything goes on markings and an
owl-eyed jigger in Des Moines runs the
papers through tanning mill and sorts
out the heaviest ones as his choice.
For genuine "damphool' legislation
Iowa is beating Kansas all hollow. No
wonder the democrats are pricking up
their ears. They couldn't send great

The Vinton Eagle says: ''What the
state needs is a good, long rest from
legislative session, and it gives one
chill to think another one will be in
session in little over a year, and the
good Lord himself cannot predict what
it will do To which the Keokuk Gate
City responds: 'The apprehensions of
the Eagle are by no means unwarranted.
A session of the legislature is real
menace to the state"

Yes, Taft is for tariff revision, and so

but neither Taft nor the others, nor the

the day is dawning when the commerce
of our country shall be freed from the
bondage wherewith it has been bound

The new prohibition law in Georgia
forbids the manufacture or keeping on

FRIDAY. APRIL IL. 1907.

With this issue of The Chieftain
we close our tenth anniversary. lhe
present writer was not in Holly or
the west at the time the FIRST ISSUE
was printed, but from reference &c
the files we can readily see that II
was nip and tuck for Bro. Milford to
make ends meet at that time. as Hol-
ly was then nothing but bloomin
prairie. There were, however, houses,
barns and store buildings coming
from all directions, as it was recog-
nized by even the most staid that
Holly had great future before her
and that under irrigation, as was all
the land north of the river for many
miles, there could be no failures in
crops and therefore no failures in
business. The Holly of today is but
the dream of the man who brought
his little all over from Kansas on
wheels but half score of years ago.
While the transformation can not be
compared to magic, it has neverthe-
less been rapid. And the future of
all enterprises in Holly is brighter
today than year or even two years
ago, when the fond hopes of the
early settlers and property owners
were gladdened by the construction
of sugar factory.

vice in this church on Sunday even
ing last, preaching sermon from the
text in Marks gospel, the question
asked of Christ by the rich young
ruler, Good Master, what shall do
that ! may inherit eternal life?' In
which he drew attention to the most
important nature of the question, and
the three great mistakes made by the
young man who went away sorrowful
rejecting the offer of Christ-hin-
dered by his great possessions. An
nouncement was made that it was ex-
pected new minister would arrive

TO BEGIN AT 10 O'CLOCK
Judge BoOraem Announces Some
New Rulings in County Court.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. a.
Judge Booraem announced this morn
ing that hereafter all criminal cases
would begin at 10 o'clock instead of
1890. as heretofore. and he will sit
until O'clock in the afternoon. He
also stated that bail would be for
feited in every instance where man
failed to appear at the appointed
time, and hereafter no excuse would
be accepted to have the bail re-
funded.
Regarding lunacy cases, the Judge
said he thought there was some mis-
understanding about the matter. and
he thought some satisfactory arrange
ments could be made for all con-
cerned Because physicians have
complained of the long delays in
court, he would hereafter hear all
lunacy cases on Fridays at LAB
O'Clock, and no matter what case was
on at that time, the lunacy cases
would have the preference.
