for England and the English than the
poor house and the support doled out
in one form or another as charity.
And perhaps it would pay in more
than one sense of the word to keep the
aged poor from becoming objects OF
charity. If they were to be paid scant
pension, as a matter Of right, rather
than doing out to them meager sup
port in the name of charity, and deal

in extensions will be made this spring

(Shelby County Republican,
So far as we have been able to ascer-
tain, local republicans are opposed to
the passage Of the state marshal bill.
The liquor laws have been enforced
fairly well in Shelby county. We have
had some experience with law enforce
ment by outside men. A dapper young
fellow representing the state anti-sa-
loon league came here last year and
worked UP a number of cases Prac-
tical1y all Of them were brought upon
insufficient evidence, and in most OF
the cases expense was made out of all
proportion to the necessities in each
case. The trouble with outside enforce
ers Of the law is that they have no con-
sideration for the communities in
which they work, in the matter of ex-
pense. They don't have any of it to
pay. They bring suit on rumor, hear
say out of sentiment, or for any old
reason save evidence. They usually
have a fee interest in making case,
and begin as many as possible, hoping
to make a few stick. And when they
bring suit they subpoena witnesses
right and left and make the money fly.

Boone.
Some time ago, during his bird col-
1ecting campaign for the Boone County
Historical society, Carl Fritz HeEning
discovered an Indian mound located on
the J. w. Fruit farm south of the
Boone viaduct. Mr.. Henning had been
spending portion of the day in the
woods making up his collection for the
Ericsson library, when in sweeping the
neighboring fields with his field glass
he discovered mound Of goodly size.
Upon closer investigation, and from
facts secured from Mr.. Fruit, 1t was
established beyond a doubt that the
mound was one made by the Indians
and probably contained great many
things of interest to the State and
Boone County Historical societies. MI.
Henning upon returning to the city at
once was in communication with the
State Historical society, and during
one of Curator Aldrich's visits to this
city the two visited the mound. Mr..
Aldrich returned to Des Moines. se-
cured an appropriation for carrying on
an investigation, and T. Va Hyning
was sent to this city, and in company
with Mr.. Henning visited the mound,
and pronounced 1t one of the best he
had seen for some time. He will return
later and will make thorough investi-
cation Of the mound.
