CHARMING BIRTHDAY PARTY

CHARMING BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Beautiful Princess Park was the
breezy spot on which hundred lovely
children sported and danced Thursday
afternoon to celebrate the birthday of
their little hostess, winsome, wee lady,
Natalie Heilperin, the 5-year-old daugh-
ter of our esteemed friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Heilperin
The happy children sang and laughed
and frolicked on the velvety green
sward; some of the older ones betook
Themselves to the pavilion and tripped
to the music of the dance. Light and
graceful as Titania's fairies, their little
forms turned airily, and in perfect time
to music by the band. Mrs. Heilperin,
assisted by Mrs. Gus Klein, Mrs. Haas
and other friends, served delicious ices
and cakes. After that the children played

Advocating an Inheritance and Income

that he will explain his views on the

Another Prophet Gone Wrong.

Another idol has been smashed
another prophet is without honor in
his own country and must depend
on the press of Ohio, Maine and
other benighted localities. Busby,
the great, the irrepressible, the G.
?. NJ, has ANONYMOUSLY fallen
down on his April weather predic.
ton and no longer will the farmers
OF buchanan county plant potatoes
or the good wives set hens by his
representations. Rather will they
go back to the moon-the favorite
of their ancestors, the standby Of
their earlier days. the faithful friend
of time and eternity.
We arise to make these remarks
because we desire to cleanse the
skirts of this paper from any
responsibility. At the direct re-
quest Of the prophet himself we in
March warned the tillers of the soil
in this community to make the
most of the balmy days of that
month, for they would not be able
to work in April on occount Of the
wet weather. Ordinarily in our
next issue we could have uttered
that trite aphorism that is good il
not original, "and the next day it
rained. /" But. we didn't. If any
body ever saw a drier April he
must have lived here before the
flood. Meanwhile some of our
country subscribers who overworked
themselves in March are threaten
ing awful things, and Busby stock
is quoted al about the same rate as

"PLvG" TOBACCO.
An Old Farmers Story of How the
Name Oriqinated. 80

An Old Farmers Story of How the
Name Originated. ,t;.
In the jury room at the courthouse a
few days ago an old time farmer said
as he took chew of tobacco:
"All the difference in the world in
tobacco. I've tried twenty different
kinds. and none Is as good us that we
used to make ourselves down OH the
farm. We would take a maple Slog
while twas green and bore dozen
holes In it with two inch auger.
They were our molds. We selected our
choicest tobacco and soaked it for a
week or more in wild honey. Then
we'd take the leaf to the log, get IL
good hickory tamping stick and 90 to
work.
"a little ball Of the honey soaked to-
bacco would be put in the auger hole
and tamped in with the stick and a
hammer. We'd pound 1t in solid. Ball
after ball would be rammed in and
pounded until the whole became a SOL
i'd plug. When the hole was nearly
full, we would pound in the plug, and
then the log would be put away to sea-
son. AS the wood dried the moisture
would be drawn from the tobacco.
And when it was split the sweetest
tobacco ever made was taken from 1t.
We called it plug tobacco. and that's
where the name originated."-Kansa

TREASURER HAS MORE POWER
Given Additional Authority in Col
lecting Personal Taxes.

One of the laws which was passed
by the late legislature and which is
now in force by publication is OF
local interest as it gives the county
treasurer additional powers in the
collection of taxes on personal pro-
perty. Heretofore good deal OF
tax was lost because there was too
much red tape involved in the
action of the county treasurers. I'm
der this law the county treasurer is
given absolute power, and he can
attach without bond. Under the
Iowa law assessments are made in
January and following and the taxes
levied are not due till the following
January. In the meantime property
changes hands or is removed from
the county. Under this law the
treasurer is empowered to levy
whether taxes are due or not. The
law is as follows:
Section L. In addition to other
remedies and proceedings now pro-
vided by law for the collection of
taxes on personal property, the
county treasurer is hereby author
lied to bring or cause an ordinary
suit at law to be commenced and
prosecuted in his name for the use
and benefit Of the county for the
collection of taxes from any person,
persons, firm or corporation as shown
by the tax list in his office, and the
same shall be in all respects COM
menced, tried and prosecuted to
final judgment the same as provided
by Code for ordinary actions.
Section 2. All the provisions of
chapters ! and 3 of title 10 of the
Code, and acts amendatory thereto,
are hereby made applicable to any
proceedings Instituted by a county
treasurer under the provisions Of
section | hereof, and writ of at
tachment shall be issued upon the
county treasurer complying with the
provisions of said chapter, for taxes
whether due or not due, except that
no bond shall be required from the
treasurer or county in such cases,
but the county shall be liable for
damages only as provided by section
1887 of the Code.

An Odd Fellow.

The many friends of Nathan SEQ
field will be interested in the follow
ing item taken from the Pocahontas,
Iowa, Democrat:
"Fifty-eight years ago Monday,
April 10, 1907, Nathan ScoGeld Of
this place, joined the Odd Fellows
at Portville, New York, and has
continuously since taken an active
part in the work. Two years ago
he made a trip to New York and
visited the old lodge room where
he had been initiated and which
was still used for lodge purposes,
but at that time there was not a
member remaining alive who was a
member when he united with the
order, and only few weeks before
he was there the man died who was
secretary Of the lodge at the time
Mr., Scotield took the trip to Jericho.
There are older men in the state
who are members Of the order, but
it is doubtful if there are any who
have been continuously identified
with the order for a period of fifty
eight years. Mr.. Scofeld has also
been identified with the Masonic
order over half a century, in fact
was delegate to the grand lodge
held in Des Moines, before that city
had railroad. He was living at
that time in Clayton county and
went to Davenport on boat then
took the train to Iowa City, then the
terminal of the road, and staged it
from there to Des Moines. He re-
turned home by way Of Keokuk
taking boat from Des Moines, to
the southeast city, then up the river
to Dubuque. Mail-Press.

A Schurz Story of Lincoln.

In the May McClure's installment
of "reminiscences of a Long Life"
by Carl Schurz, appears an impor-
tant historical chapter of the Union
Army and its leaders in 1862. This
portion Of the statesman-author's
writing takes up his activity subse-
quent to his resignation as Minister
to Spain and tells of his appoint
ment as Brigadier General and his
service in the field. He tells us how
the great leaders Mcclellan, Ere
mont, Sigel, Burnside and Hooker
impressed him, and gives first hand
description of their difficulties and
the great army problems.
AS usual there is much new light
on Lincoln and a great deal of this
is Of prime Importance as it shows
clearly the considerations that lead
up to such momentous steps as the
issuing Of the Emancipation Procla-
nation. Schurz also narrates sew
eral droll anecdotes Of great men,
one of which Lincoln story, we
quote:-
One Of the many foreigners who
sought my intercession was a young
German count whose identity was
vouched for by a member Of the
Prussian Legation. He had a long
row Of ancestors whom he traced
back for several hundred years. He
was greatly impressed with the i'm
portance of this fact and thought it
would weigh heavily in securing
him position in our army. If he
could only have an audience" with
the President and lay his case be-
fore him, he believed, the result
could not be doubtful. He pursued
me SO arduously with the request
for personal introduction to Mr..
Lincoln, that at last / succumbed
and promised to introduce him il
the President permitted. The Pres
ident did permit. The. count spoke
English moderately we'll, and in his
ingenious way he at once explained

Rest is the great restorer.

Rest is the great restorer. We
tire our muscles by exercise and
then rest to restore them; yet a
great many Of us do not stop to
think how little rest we give to our
stomachs. AS a usual thing no
part Of our bodies is SO generally
overworked as our digestive organs.
A tired and overworked stomach
will give signs of distress to which
we pay no heed until at last Dys-
pepsia takes hold. Indigestion is
just warning, and if we heed the
warning we can easily avoid further
consequences. KODOL is a most
thorough stomach relief. 1t di-
gests what you eat and gives the
stomach the needed rest and greatly
assists in restoring it to its normal
activity and usefulness. KODOL

PLIGHT OF THE ACTOR.
Behind the Scenes He Is, In !. Manner,

Behind the Scenes He Is, In Manner,
Prisoner.
In q way, behind the scenes Is a pris-
on. 1t Is surely one of the very few
places where intelligent men and wo-
men are locked in their place Of work
and where no message from the out
side world is allowed to reach them.
There is tradition that actor folk are
of unusually emotional temperament,
and if therefore n telegram is received
at the stage door it is never delivered
until after the performance. The mes
sage might be an invitation to supper,
or it might announce that the actors
favorite brother has been hanged, or it
might be an offer in a stock company
to play twelve times week, or it
might tell the actor that he was the
father of twins or that his wife would
die without seeing him again unless
he came at once to her bedside, but all
of this information Is supposed not to
be good for the actors emotional dis
position, and the telegram is therefore
given the same distinction as the
mash" note and kept until after the
performance is finished. 1t cannot be
said that the actors emotional dlspo-
sition is very seriously considered be-
yond the cast iron rule in regard to
kilograms. His comfort and intelli-
gence have been slightly fiattered in
a few theaters of very recent date, but
for the most part the condition of
behind the scenes in most playhouses
Is not calculated to breed particularly
high thoughts Of any kind. AS matter
Of fact, he is treated little better than
when he was only "strolling" player
