FoRr DoDoE, Ia, has taken the
lead in imposing a special tax on
bachelors and spinsters, and an ordi-
nance providing this penalty for So
called single-blessedness, has been
followed by an immediate response
and the next day Mayor Bennett
performed nineteen marriages and
the next day fourteen. Whether it
was from the same econo mic view,
or some other reason (the ordinance
requiring the Mayor to perform the
nuptial ceremony free) none of this
harvest fell to the clergy, and the
Fort Dodge Ministerial Association
threatens to pass caustic resolutions
alleging that the sacred character
of the marriage relation is being i'm
paired by such mercenary view of
the transaction.

seems to be an expert in scenting
malfeasance, and has the nerve to

success in bringing to justice the

the corrupt gang in San Francisco,
has been unparalleled.

ExpIAT1oN OF SHIT is reported
in the Associated Press dispatches
that Rockefeller is making his will
and planning to return to the public
at least portion of the many mil
lions he has found little happiness
in squeezing out of the users of his
products. Among the requests it is
said that two hundred and fifty mil
lions will 60 to New York city for
education. A good use, all will ad-
init, but it seems strange that the
millionairies who evidently seek to
placate the Divine Will by post
humous benefactors, should not rec
ognize the claim of the stomachs of
the needy as well as the brains of
those who, in most instances, are
well able to care for their own edu.
cation. It may be that education,
properly applied, may bring about
conditions that will reduce poverty
OF future generations, but what will
the poor do in the meantime? To 90
on as now, will be like accustoming
a horse to diet of sawdust or shoe
pegs; the animal may die while the
process is going on. If anybody is
able to buy his way to eternal repose
and happiness hereafter, surely Rock
efeller is well equipped for that ef-
fort, but the thought will obtrude
that coal-oil is quite as infammable
as birthstone, where the temperature
is high enough to produce ignition.
Though charity covers q multitude of
sins, if hockey" escapes by that
dodge, it will surely be by close
shave.

Burflar-Proof Window.

A burglar-proof window for paying
tellers and bank purposes has been in
vented by Charles w. Stevenson and
placed in the States bank at Puyal-
lup. The window is made of eight
oxidized iron bars, three inches wide
and three-sixteenths of an inch thick.
The device is operated by means of a
lever beneath the counter and is con-
trolled by the foot of the teller.
When a burglar tells the teller to
throw up his hands, all he has to do
is to comply with the request, but at
the same time he can drop the win
dow instantly by single pressure of
the foot and the plans of the would-be
robber are foiled.

RESENT CHARGES.
Nicaraguans Say President ZcIaya Has
 Played Straight Game.

Washington, March 9.-Nicaraguan sympathizers are indignant at the charges made against President Zelaya by Honduras. and maintain that the movement of Honduras against Nicara- qua and the reported alliance between Honduras and other Central American republics, was planned by President Bonilla of Honduras for the sole pur- pose of averting serious revolutionary movements in the latter country.
 A prominent supportetr of President Zelaya and one authorized to speak for him said today that public sympathy cannot but be with the Nicaraguan chief executive # all the facts about the present trouble are known. He also expressed surprise and disbelief at the reported alliance of the four other Central American governments against Nicaragua and said 1t Is es- pecially difficult to understand why Costa Rica should participate fin any movement against Zelaya.
 In answer to the charge that Presi- dent Zelaya refused to accept the de- cision of the boundary dispute be- tween Honduras and Nicaragua handed down by the King of Spain late in 1906, the Nicaraguans insist that there fs no foundation for such a charge be- cause the result of this arbitration has not even been submitted to the decisiaon of the Nicaraguan congress.
 The assistance Salvador Is reported to be giving Honduras in the present trouble may be ascribed to the fact that the two countries are supposed to be allies whose friendship was strengthened by the assistance Hondu- ras gave to Salvador last year when the latter republic became entangled in war with Guatemala.
 Nicaragua and Guatemala have not been on especially friendly terms for some time because of failure to nego- tiate reciprocity treaties and the re- fusal of Nicaragua to take part In the negotiations nthe San Jose treaty. growing out of the conference of the United States gunboat Marblehead for the settlement of the war iu which Guatemala, Honduras and Salvador engaged last year.
 Supporters of President Ielaya are at a loss to explain the reported hos tility of Costa Rics to Nicaragua.
 It has been known for some time that the present administration of Costa Rica was not friendly to Presi- dent Zelaya and his administration but the relation between the two na- tions have been such that an open breach between them has never been thought of by the Nicaraguans.
 The slaughter of small Nicarasuan garrison by Hondur3n insurgents. who cross into Nicaragua. was the cause of the trouble between Presidents Bonilla and Zelaya This kas being arbitra- ted. but President Bonilla withdrew his commissioner and provoked Mica ragua anew, giving rise to hostilities.

AS TO FLAVOR.
Found Her Favorite Again.

A bright young lady of the Buckeye State tells how she came to be acutely sensitive as to the taste of coffee;
 My health had been very poor for several years" she says, T loved cof- fee and drank it for breakfast, but only learned by accident as 1t were, that it was the cause of the constant. dreadful headaches from which I suf- fered every day. and of the nervous ness that drove sleep from my pillow and so deranged my stomach that everything l ate gave me acute pain.
 My condition finally got so serious that I was advised my doctor togo to A hospital. I went to one of the largest in Detroit here hey gave me what I supposed was coffee, and l bought it was the best I ever drank, but have since learned 1t was Postum. I gained ranidIy and came home in four weeks.
 "Somehow the coffee we used at home didn't taste right when l got back. I tried various kinds, but none tasted as good as that l drank in the Hospital, and all brough back the dreadful headaches and the sick all-over feel ing. At last one day I got a package of Postum Food Coffee, and the first taste of it I took I said that's the good coffee we had in the hospitalr I have drank it ever since, three times a day, and eat Grape-Nuts for my breakfast. I have no more head aches. and feel better than I have for years. Name given by the Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. here's reason."

get a report for the measure was availing nothing. The members of the House have gossipped bout the measure to the extent of saying that one of the earliest fights of the session had some bearing upon the delay of doing something on the Capitol bill
 It will be recalled that under the present statute, the clerks and Senate employees are appointed by the presi- dent pro tenn of the Senate. After the memorable fight over the naming of the Senate committees, bill endorsed by the majority of the Senators was passed changing that law and provid- ing that the Senate eployes should be named by the Lieutenant Governor. The bill was quickly passed by the Senate and as quickly passed by the House.
 The day after it's passage. Repre- sentative Goodwin moved and obtained a reconsideration of the vote on the bill. pointing out that under the terms of the bill the present Lieutenant Governor would name all the em- ployes who would serve throughout the next Senate. This he submitted was an unfair proposition. It appeared unfair to his associate members of the House. They undid their work and sent the bill to the committee, where 1t has since slumbered.
 Legislative gossip has it that some of the Senators laid for the Goodwin bill for Capitol improvement. The gossip would have it that these major ity Senators waited the chance to pay off the victory of the Montgomery member in killing the Senate employees bill. At any rate the bill in which Mir. Goodwin was so much interested could not be budged out of the com mittee, no matter how hard he work ed

 GAME LAW IS CAUSING TALK Much Interest Taken by AlabamianS. MANY LETTERS ON SUBJECT Host of Officers Created, But Cost
 No Moneya All the Salaries Must Come from Funds Derived from Sale of Licenses
 to Hunt and

It is a strong circumstance, but a fact, nevertheless, that the people or Alabama seem to take more personal interest in the game law than in any other measure passed by the Legisla- ture. The new law goes into enect on March 19, but already the office of State Game and Fish Commissioner John H. Wallace is flooded with letters of advice and inquiry
 On this single act of the Legislature there has in all probability been more correspondence than on any other law passed by the Legislature. As this particular time. the apointment of county game wardens is occupying the attention of the State Commissioner, and the work is the precedent for the general enforcement of the law. By the time the law goes into actual ef- feet, each of the sixty seven counties of the State will have had a local game warden appointed.
 An Alabama editor, in one of the frequent criticisms of the Legislature, declared, "It has created a thousand new offices"
 The only way that this statement could be substantiated is through the consideration of the game law, which provides for beat wardens,. as well as for county wardens. It would hardly be fair to consider the game wardens as State officials, for salary from the State has been considered an absolute requisite for a State official.
 Not one of the game wardens, State, county or beat, gets salary out of the State treasury. On the other hand, the friends of the new game law declare that the law will be revenue getter for the State. All salaries are to be paid out of whatever revenue comes from the operation of the law. This revenue is coming from the different licenses which the hunter must obtain from the Judge Of Probate, the license to hunt in the county and the costlier Ncence which permits him to hunt any where in the State.
 Where the Pay Comes From.
 The county game wardens will get their pay through the fine and forfeit ure fund of the game law. That Is, each county warden gets half of the fines obtained from the successful pro- secution in his county of violators of the game law. The county warden is also paid S3 a day when he is acting under the special orders of the Game Commissioner.
 The salary of the Game Commissioner Is S2,500. and it is to be paid out of the. fund for the protection of the game and fish of the State. The prin- cipal part of this fund will come from the payment of the license fees in each county. It has been estimated by friends of the bill that when the law is in good working order, it will bring Into the State Treasury something like S25, 900 each year.
 State Game and Fish Commissioner John H. Wallace, who has at present only a temporary office at the Capitol, has been working hard at tho mass of correspondence that has flooded him in reference to the new game law. He has had printed in a small pocket pamphlet the new game law and is

IS BURNED TO DEATH
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT TO BIBB
 COUNTY CHILD.
Was Attempting to Put Out Lamp When Explosion Came, lighting CIOthIng--Father Came too
 Late.

Centreville. March 9.-- Special )-- The 12 year old daughter of MT. John Legal, living twelve miles south of Centreville. died from burns received in a lamp explosion.
 She attempted to extinguish lamp by blowing down the chimney, where upon the lamp exploded and covered her clothes with kerosene oil, which immediately ignited and before the flames could be quenched, she was fa- tally burned.
 Her father had been to Centrevllle and was on his way home when he heard the screaming, but before he could reach there, 1t was too late to save his daughter. She was a bright and attractive child and her terrible death is a great blow to tho family. She was buried yesterday. She was the granddaughter of J. L.. Legal. prominent merchant who lives in Cen treville.

sending out over Alabama thousands of copies of the new law. The supply of copies seems hardly sufficient to meet the demand, owing to the general interest in the measure.
 Tn the meanwhile the appointment of county game wardens Is giving consid erable trouble. Under the terms of the bill, the appointments of county wardens are made with the consent and approval of the Governor" This was done at the Governors request. The original bill provided that the State Game Commissioner should make these appointments. But the Governor sent the bill back to tife Legislature with several amendments. the principal amendment, however, provided that no appointment of a game warden should be made without the approval and con sent of the Governor.
 Contests for Places.
 These places of county game war dens are not going a-begging. In fact in several counties there are some pret- ty contests on over them. The State Game Commissioner and the Governor have been giving considerable time to the filling of these places and 1t Is understood that a number of appoint ments will be announced the first of the week.
 During the dying hours of the Legis- lature there was more or less of a strenuous time over the appointment of several county game wardens. One of these contests was in Bibb County, where Senator Reynolds and Repre- sentative Fuller were interested. The appointment hung fire and during the closing hours of the Senate there was some fun over the Bibb County situ- ation. During one of the informal lulls of the last hours of the session, while Senator Reynolds was in the chair of the presiding officer, Senator Lusk asked:
 What is proper method to get a game warden appointed in your coun- tyr"
 There was some point to this ques- tion, too, for at the same time lively contest over the place was in progress in Marshall County.
 To get game warden appointed" replied Senator Reynolds, Tt is neces- sary to get the approval of all the hunters in your county for your man. Then you get the endorsement of all the Conner leaders for him. When this is done, you lay his claims, with all the endorsements, before Commissioner Wallace. Then you go before the Gov ernor and put the claims and the en- jorsements before him. If the en- dorsements are unanimous, and neither the Governor nor the Game Commis- sioner has another man, probably your man will get the Job.'
 The game law is so drawn that it puts out Of business the three classes which have worked such havoc with the game of Alabama--the pot hunter, the professional shipper of live birds to other States which have game laws, and the we'll equipped hunter who goes out with his friends and each man gets a bag of 150 birds in one days sport.
 The law is modelled in a way after the Illinois law. but 1t Is claimed for 1t that it is an improvement on that law.
