AVERAGE 10 PER DAY
Unusual Record Of instruments Filed
In Mahaska County.

One of the busiest, if not the bust
est, county offices during the first
quarter of the, year 1907, was the re-
corder's Office. According to the
quarterly report Of County Recorder
U. G. Deck, the work for the period
is enormous, there being lisp instru-
ments filed. This is a great increase
over the same quarter of years past.
On the average there were fifteen
instruments filed a day. Some days
there were as nigh as. fifty instruments
filed. Another good thing about the
record for the quarter is that the in
strume1ts are all up to date, the work
being done by County Recorder U. G.
Deck and his able assistant, Miss Bess
Stafford.
The number of instruments filed
during January, February and March
is divided as follows: Deeds, 430;pat-
ents, 80; mortgages, 279; assignment
of mortgages, 81; cnattel mortgages
and bills of sale, 1876; miscellaneous,
Ill; releases, 1876; articles of ilcor-
poration, 5; plats, 6.
The report also shows that Manas-
ka county people are prosperous,
there being 430 deeds filed to only 279
mortgages.

difficulty in stating her case to the

told of one time when he came to her
bringing baby which he said was his

room in the nome. AS she knew moth

GETS LIFE SENTENCE.
NED WEST CONVICTED OF THE
MURDER OF JOHN ROLAND
or ELkADER.

Elkader, Ia, April 13.-The case of
the murder of John L. Boland by Ned
West was given to the jury at 10 a. m.
yesterday, who returned a verdict of i'm
prisoament for life at 4 o'clock p. m.
The verdict gives universal satisfac-
ton here.
The murder of Boland the day be-
fore election las. fall excited univer-
sal horror in this vicinity, for the cir
cumstances were particularly afro
cious. Boland and West were friends
and neighbors, and no men in the
county were more intimate.
West dubbed the other to death and
then buried the remains in a culvert.
He maintained his innocence through
out, but admitted that he had quar-
relied vito Boland.

staked out anew, and on Friday put

many buyers on the ground as early

half of the lots were SPOKEN for. BY
Saturday night tnirty-one were sold,
and before o'clock sunday morning

THROW MONEY AT

PITTsBURG AUDIENCE REUSED
BY HIS PEACE ADDRESS.
OVATION FOR LoNDoNER
His Hague Pilgrimage Plan Stirs En-
thusiasm Of Guests at Carnegie
Institute Rededlcation Ger
emonies.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 13.---At the
close Of remarkable address by
William T. Stead, editor of Review
of Reviews" London, England, at the
rededication ceremonies of the Car
negie Institute of Pittsburg late Fri
day, In which the speaker announc-
ed a plan to raise 100000 neces-
sary to conduct the pilgrimage from
all countries to The Hague confer
ence advocated in recent New York
address, unbounded enthusiasm took
possession of the large audience and
money was thrown to the floor Of the
stage.
Probably never has public speak
er been given such an ovation in this
city. The lightning-like rapidity with
which Mr.. Stead's plan to finance the
pilgrimage began almost took the
breath from the distinguished for
eign and American guests attending
the exercises.
Plan to Raise Fund.
Mr.. Stead, after explaining the pur-
pose of the pilgrimage to the next
Hague conference estimated that it
would take at least 100000 to finance
the proposition. To raise this sum
he proposed that every boy and girl
in colleges and universities through
out the United States donate SO cents
toward the fund needed. He said the
lesson furnished to Europe by such
movement would be an influential
factor in the quest of international
peace. 49,.
The suggestion came at the end of
his address and he sat down amid
loud applause. For fully five min
utes the clapping and cheering was
prolonged and finally the speaker
again arose and said that probably
the audience would like to contribute
to the fund. Immediately a shower
of silver money landed on the stage,
coming from all parts of the music
hall. .......
Banquet for carneeies.
The banquet given by the board of
trustees of the Carnegie Institute in
honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie was
