A MIsFIT INDEPENDENCE.

Pop said that independence was the
greatest thing he knew,
And when my daddy says a thing It's
generally true
1t helps man to triumph for the right
and send his foes
Up where the great Salt river Is nm
where the woodbine grows.
But woe is me that it should be:
1t didn't work that way with me.
And this is how it was, you see:
On July Fourth when I got up I'd set
tied in my mind
That I'd be just the freest of the indie
pendent kind
I'd have my way all through the day, no
matter what should hap,
And that is why face down lie across
my daddy's lap,
And that is why cry, ooh, my!" as he
lays on the strap.
he told me just at breakfast time to
help him feed the COWS,
And when. said l wouldn't we'd the
prettiest of rows.
But l was firm, for l was free,
Just as he said l ought to be,
And then skipped. All, woe is mel
l stayed away the livelong day,
And then there was the deuce to pay,
For when l got back home that night
My daddy's wrath was out Of sight.
He wouldn't hear word from me
About the glories of the free,
But simply put me on his knee
And gave 1t to me-one, two. three
From which judge that while it's cleal
That independence has no peer
For nations fond Of liberties,
1t doesn't do for families,
Else pop has gone and changed his mint
Or mine was not the proper kind.

NorH1N' DOM ON THE FOURTH
July 2 Was the Date Which In
dependence Was Declared.


The government has published book
showing that the Fourth of July ought
to come on the I'd of the month. The
book is entitled 1.-THE Story of the Dec
laration of Independence" and the author
Is Col. VIM. H. Michael, who has charge
of that historic document and the price
less archives which go with it. The brief
account given in the preface of the adop-
ton of the Declaration of Independence
shows that Congress passed the resolu-
ton on July 2. That is really the date
on which a majority of the peoples rep
resentatives formally and legally express
ed their intent.
According to the journal of that Con-
gress, the original of which is on file,
nothing actually happened on the Fourth
of July. On the 9th of July the vote, by
States, was made unanimous by the ad-
dition of New York. which had not be
fore been authorized to take this course

Probate Judge T. o. Hanlon of Lew
iston has dismissed the suits brought
against Edward Raboin and several
other Nez Perez Indians who were
charged with malicious destruction of
property on land claimed by Joseph
liver Of Spalding. In dismissing the
cases Judge Hanlon upholds the con-
tention of the government that the
land in question, which consists of
about seven acres, is a reserve created
for the purpose Of booming logs. The
cases have attracted considerable at
tention because of the unique conten-
ton of liver who sought relief in the
state courts by means of an action
brought against the individual Indians
who destroyed the property, acting
under instructions from the depart
ment. The ruling of Judge Hanlon
upholds the report Of the government
and makes liver himself the tres
passer without any title to the land.

Sale Of Telephone Company Brings
About Litigation.
Waterloo April 11.-An action for
collection Of promissory note Is being
taken up in district court which comes
as a sequence to the sale Of the stock
of the old Cedar Valley Telephone and
Telegraph Company, which transaction
was made in 1902 and 1903. The action
is entitled the Blackhawk National
Bank VS.. Robert Gardiner and James
Gardiner. The note now amounts to
over $12,500 and is held by the bank
for collection. The forenoon OF We'd
nesday was occupied with the argu-
ments Of attorneys over motion pre-
scented by plaintiff to require a more
specific statement on the part Of de-
PENDANT relating to representations
claimed to have been made by the
officers of the bank, especially with re-
lation to the presence of fund being
raised from other sources in Chicago,
and to secure other signatures as en-
dorsers and makers Of the note. The
motion was sustained in several partic-
ulars and overruled in others.
Later-The affairs Of the old Cedar
Valley Telephone company, and the
County Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany are now settled. 1t had been en-
pected that the case would be tried
to "a jury, and that it would consume
considerable OF the time of the dis
trict court But the attorneys followed
the example set in the early part OF the
term, and kept up the reputation of

DOG SAVES cH,Lp's LIFE
Three Year Old Wanders Away, and
Animal Guards.

Special to Times-Republlcan.
Oelwein, April 11-Considerable con-
sternation was aroused in Smithfield
township, when 1t became known that
a 2h -year-old child of a family by the
name of Bauder had disappeared. The
Bauders are strangers in that COM
munity, having moved to Smithfield
township but short time ago, and 1t Is
supposed that the child became be-
wildered in it's new surroundings and
kept on strolling during the day,s en-
deavoring to find its way home.
Good fortune smiled upon the family
when the shepherd dog went with the
child, and it was by this means that
the lost was found. AS soon as it was
made known that child had been last
the neighborhoodl turnec out and
secured the country for miles and the
day was about gone and efforts to res
cue the little child seemed to be futile.
The rescuing party had about given
up al hopes, when in the vicinity OF a
slough they heard the whining of a
dog and some human being. They fol-
lowed the sound. and within short
distance from the entrance of the
slough, three miles from the home,
they found the child and the dog, the
latter sobbing as tho his heart would
break, and its faithful companion tug
ging at its clothes In order to assist
in walking.

Cady Boalz, until four years ago a res
ident of this place but since then OF
Tonopah, Nevada, where he has extern
sive mining interests, has sustained a
loss Of 100000 The strike in the gold
fields has greatly reduced the value of
mines wherever affected. The strike
has been in progress for many weeks
but at present there are indications
that there may be a settlement soon.
Mr.. Boak has stated that the actual
value Of his mining property is steadily
increasing and he believes that when
the strike is ended the properties will
increase in value until they reach far
above their valuation before the strike.
Mr.. Boak left here about four years
ago, young man and comparatively
poor. He went to Tonopah, struck it
rich, and his wealth is now estimated
in millions.
