The japanese papers are
commenting very. favorably on
the coming visit of Secretary
Taft and believe that it will
have a tendency to create
harmony between the two
countries. No doubt the late
troubles with the japanese in
California will be considered
while the genial secretary is
dining with the officials of the

basis for Harrison county until

suit brought by Mary C. Noyes,
Who states that she paid the
collector $6l.5S under protest.
Her petition alleges that after
she had made that payment
she went to the board of super

the matter straight but that
body refused to act.

Hitch in Sale of Bends

HltCn IN Sale OF Bends
The Board of Supervisors of
Pottawattamie county is
up against what may possibly
prove a hitch in the sale of the
Pigeon Creek bonds. The w.
r. Compton Bond and Mort
gage company, of Macon, Mo-,
which was awarded the bonds
on its bid, it is said, may refuse
to accept them because of al
legged defects in the description
of the land assessment.
In case the firm does decline
to accept the bonds the board
will have to either begin pro-
ceedings to compel the accept
ance of them or else take up
the whole matter again, make
a new assessment and issue
new bonds.
The question which has
arisen relates to the suficiency
or insufficiency of the decrip-
ton of the parcels of land as
sessed for the construction of
the ditch. In 1904, when the
list of taxable property was
made up, the descriptions were
IcOpied from the transfer hooks
as is the custom in such cases,
without reference to the
original deeds. In this way
some of the descriptions are
said to be indefinite, as while
naming the number of acres,
they fail to specify what par
!tlcnlar acres are meant. 1t is
stated that the courts of Iowa
have held that a tax deed Sc
cured upon such a description
is void, and for this reason the
Compton company is said to
be somewhat wary about ac-
ceptlng the bonds.
DEFECTS NOT FATAL
That the alleged defects are
not Of sufficient moment or
number to invalidate the bonds
or to give the company suffi-
cient grounds for declining to
accept them is the opinion of
County Auditor Cheyne, as ex-
pressed at the meeting of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday.
"These so-called imperfect des-
c%riptions," said Mr.. Cheyne,
"are comparatively few and
most of them are sufficient to
locate the land accurately.
For instance, when a man owns
only fifteen acres Of land in a
given quarter, the reference to
the fifteen acres owned by MIN
can refer to no other parcel of
land, even though the descrip-
ton does not give any more
definite information than the
quarter in which these particu-
lar fifteen acres are located"
AS the Compton Bond and
Mortgage company has not
formally notified the board
that it will not accept the
bonds, no action was taken yes
terday.
In session as a county board
the supervisors decided to re-
new the insurance on the court
house. The hearing in the
matter of the application to re-
openthe petition for the Fensler
ditch was postponed to Novem-
Der 6. The board will be in
session today Omaha Bee.

Island, was beheaded; Brake
man Elmer Koepke, of Avoca,
sustained a broken leg; one

Traffic on the Rock Island was
stopped there all day. A
branch engine was switching in
the yards with a small string of
cars. An effort was made to
get out of the way of the in
coming freight train with the
largest type of engine at the
head of it, but the track was
slippery and it could not get
under way, while the heavy
train could not stop. When
the first engine was struck it
was forced against one standing
IN the yards and both were
wrecked.

All class parties and social
functions at the Iowa State
university must close at mid
night hereafter, which means
radical changes in conducting
social functions. The following
order, however, has created
greater CONSERVATION among
the students than the forego-
ing. "No parties for both men
and women may be given or at
tended by women students in
any hall, hotel, club or fraterni-
ty house unless a chaperone APP
pointed by the dean of women
be present. This rule applies
to excursions or parties out of
Iowa City,"

An interview with Mrs. Root
who is accompanying Secretary
Root to Mexico, a st. Louis re-
porter states that the lady de-
clared in favor of the re-
establishment of the canteen in
the army. She addressed her
self particularly to Congress-
man Caulfield of st. Louis, who
with others made a brief visit
to the secretary's private car.
There is no doubt but that
the canteen should be restored
at the army posts for then the
enlisted men will not visit the
numerous dives that always
spring up near an army post,
and which are extremely Wis
cious. The canteens are under

Carrying Coin-Men have
various ways of carrying money.
Grocers, butchers and millers
carry it in a wad. Bankers in
clean bills, laid full length in a
pocketbook. Brokers only fold
the bill once, doubling the
money, as it were. The young
business man carries it in his
vest pocket. Farmers and
drovers in their inside pockets,
whether it is $50 or Is cents.
Printers usually carry their
money in other peoples pockets.

The L. D. S. church at their

week, decided to hold their
next years meeting at Little
Sioux. That certainly is a
good location to hold a big
meeting.
b. w. Greene, of st. John,
brought to this office this morn
a winter radish which he
planted August LIST, and which
measures nineteen inches in
circumference. This radish is
turnip-shape and is almost
black in color. This is quite a
novelty in the vegetable line
to be sure.
Not very pleasant this fol-

be all right for the big parades

are planning to go down on the
special train which leaves here
about $50 Wednesday evening

Concentration is the watch

what the hornet puts into effect
when he wants to make him
self felt. His singer is a little
thing; it weighs no more than
a hair; but it has been known
to lift 200 pounds of meat 2
feet in | second. That is CON
centration. Many a brain that
weighs So ounces is too weak to
lift even an idea high enough
for inspection. This is scatter
alton. Young man, concen-
trate. Settle your mind down
on one thing at a time, and
settle it down hard. You can

SUNDAY REST LAW.

A lady walked into a confectionery
store in an Idaho town recently and
asked for loaf OF bread. I'VE are
not allowed TO sell bread on Sunday in
this state" said the man, but I can
sell you a cigar" Neither is it lawful
to sell fruit, but soda pop is not illegal.
To sell milk on Sunday is crime, as
is the operation OF a street car. In
Wallace the law is so rigidly enforced
that the authorities propose to stop the
big town clocks because they are
operated for pay by the Western Union
Telegraph Co. 1t is proposed to shut
down the Wallace Electric Light Co.
plant from IL o'clock Saturday night
till II o'clock Sunday night. Occur
d'Alene City is agitating similar law
enforcement crusade. 1t is proposed
to see that the Sunday law is so strictly
enforced that even those who proposed
it get enough Of it. This is an excel
lent idea. Let US have il crime to
even serve meals on Sunday. The
servant girls are as worthy OF Sunday
rest day as is the bartenders. II one
goes to church let him walk. for il
ought to be crime TO work a horse.
Give the dumb brute day Of rest.
Instead Of fighting Sunday law let us
insist that it be made sufficiently
stringent to satisfy the most pious fan

United States Attorney Ruick, O

matter OF the land fraud inducements,
particularly the one against Senator
Borah. But the defense fails 10 ex-
plain why, if Mr.. Ruick has presented
all his evidence against Senator Boran.
he permitted the case to 20 TO trial.
II he is any kind of lawyer he ought
TO know whether or not he has a case.
And against Senator Borah nothing re-
sembling a case has yet been made. II
was farce of'the first degree. Con
sidering all the facts, and the peculiar
trend OF affairs at the time the indict-
ment was filed, it was nothing short of
an outrage, and, to his dying day, Mr..
Ruick will never outgrow that shame.
II has cost him whatever Of public con-
tdence he ever had, and covered him
with an ignominy that he will never
outlive. The best Mr.. Ruick can do
is TO keep silent. By proving that he
acted in good faith he will convict
himself Of degree Of ignorance and
inability that will be really pitiable.

Blanketing Cows.

During the last couple of wears, a
good many dairymen in AIS ralia ave
adopted the practise OF blanketing
their COWS during wet and cold weather;
and the results in every case are spok-
en- OF as being highly satisfactory.
When COWS are kept worm the food
they consume, instead Of being utilized
to maintain bodily heat, is largely de-
voted to the production Of milk, and
In this way the dairyman realizes a
large ptoht on the very small outlay
required to provide blankets for his
cattle in cold weather.
Men who have studied the subject
closely say that the effect Of covers on
COWS is very remarkable. The luiet
COWS become more quiet and contend
ed, while those that are shy or nervous
have their nerves soothed, and submit
TO being handled without fear. This
is no fad Of one or two men, but has
become so common that manufacturers

Sears Robuck On The Run.

The tables are turned. The Trade
is informed that on November d three
indictments were filed in the United
States district court at Des Moines,
Iowa, against Sears-Robuck Co., the
Chicago catalogue house. Specific
charges are: CD False claim for Seroco
paint; (2)upon ring, No. 4H03240
in their catalogue, said to contain four
pearls and four sapphires but which
was not as represented; and CD upon
a ring No. 4G03230, also said to be
not as represented. In general the
charges allege fraudulent use of the
mails and obtaining money under false
pretenses. In this case, it is to be
noted, the United States government
is the prosecutor and we have noticed
disposition on the part Of the govern
ment, when once it starts a case, to
see it through to a finish. 1t looks
pretty bad for Sears-Robuck Co. and
Others OF that class. We are also in
formed that Sears-Robuck preferred
stock, which few months ago sold
on the New York exchange at 90 cents,
is now down around 81 cents, while
common has dropped from 40 to 20
cents share. New West Trade.
