Atlanta.
Crops in this part Of the county
are still in good shape. Wheat and
rye have nearly all been harvested and
show a good yield with excellent quail
ity, while oats are turning out we'll.
Wet weather has interfered with the
harvest the past week and spoiled
some hay which is not as plentiful as
in former years. Corn, however, aside
from places where the wind, rain and
hail damaged it to a certain extent, is
looking fine and almost up to the
standard for this time Of year. Pros
poets are now for a splendid yield.

Superintendent Barloon says the In
dications are that there will be
shortage of teachers in the county this
fall of somewhere in the neighborhood
Of fifty. This shortage is not due
to the failures in examination for the
per cent Of those failing to pass is as
small as it ever was In the county.
He says the number of new teachers
making application is much smaller
than usual, and In a large measure Is
due to the wages paid. The male
teacher is practically eliminated from
the teaching force Of this county. The
boys can sell their labor in a better
market than they can find in the school
room.

we'll City, Bert Borassa was arrested
at Eldora and was returned here to
await trial. Borassa came to Rockwell
City about six weeks ago to find work
on a farm near by and play in the
band.
He secured a job about the first OF
July with A L. Means, well-to-do
farmer north Of town, and proved
good worker as we'll as a good band
player. Sunday while Mr.. Means and
family were in town attending church
Borassa opened his private desk ana
took four blank checks from his First
National bank check book. Coming
to town he went to S. S. Blocks resi-
dence and presented check for twen-
ty-tive dollars, signed by Mr.. Means
in payment of small bill he owed
Mr.. Back. The latter accommodating
ly gave him the change and look tue

Will Cummings at the news stand IN
a similar manner and one for the same
amoutn on L. A. Hunefeld at the res
amount on L. A. Hume field at the res
taurant. He unsuccessfully tried the
same scheme at Gray's restaurant. Al
o. m. that evening Borassa bought
ticket for Ackley, and that was the last
seen of him in Rockwell City.
The next morning the facts came out
and Sheriff Dawson did some clever
detective work, getting busy with the
telephone, to notify the sheriffs OF the
counties east The Hardin county
sheriff found the man at Eldora. ana
Sheriff Dawson went after him last
night. Borassa was certainly not
shrewd in his attempt to escape. as ne
was well known in Bldora. having
served a term in the reform school

Davenport, Aug IA fight between
the saloon keepers of this city and the
two local breweres has been COM
menced and promises to be prosecuted
with such vigor that enforcement Oh
the mulct law may result Ihe Drew
cries have sought to control the retais
business and keep the products OF ON
er establishments out of the city. ana
the saloonists claim that in pursuing
this policy many undesirable. and dis
reputable men have been enabled 10
engage in the business.
Yesterday afternoon, three suits were
against the Independent Mailing COM
pany and one against the Davenport
Mailing company. The suits are TO
recover the amount of money paid the
various breweries for beer sold TO the
defendants, on the ground that sald
sale of intoxicating liquor was con
trary to the laws of the state of Iowa.
The three plaintiffs are Lew Han
nemann, Fred NJ. Ruh, and Philip
Suetter.
Mr. Hannemann sues for the recov-
cry of S9,331. alleged TO have been
paid the Davenport Mailing company
for beer between Nov. l. 1901, and
Dec. l, 1906.
Mr. Ruhl sues the Independent
Mailing company for the recovery or
$500. alleged to have been paid
them for beer between Jan. IL, 1908
and Dec. /, 1906.
Mr.. Suetter sues the Independent
Mailing company for the recovery OF
1857. being the amount he paid for os
barrels of beer at Sc barrel, be-
tween Oct 20, 1905 and Dec. L. 1906.
None of the claims include money
paid for beer after Nov. l, 1906. when
the breweries came under the mulct
law by securing the requisite sigma
lures to petitions of consent for the
and sale of intoxicating
liquors.
Not only the above saloon keepers
but numerous others, have for a long
time been lodging strong complaints
against the treatment they were re-
ceiving at the hands of the breweries.
They claim every known measure
has been brought into play to compel
them to handle one exclusive beer II
they refuse to accede to the agree
ment. they state the breweries have
been in the habit Of going to the own
ers of the building in which the saloon
is located and Offering a higher rental
than the present tenant was paying,
in order to get him out and place
new man in control who would use
their beer exclusively.
Again, when it was not possible to
put out the present tenant, 1T is
claimed the breweries would start an
other saloon as close to the existing
one as possible for the purpose Of
driving him out of business.
