Iowa Attorney Meets Protest
a. Sioux Falls

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 3l.-At-
torney George w. Egan, who
came into prominence in this
state through his part in the
prosecution of the Kaufman
case, is evidently not entirely
satisfactory to the members of
the Sioux Falls Bar association
in his effort to locate in Sioux
Falls. A protest from Sioux
Falls was filed against admit
ting Egan in the supreme court
until members of the associa-
tion could make their protest
to the court, and this was called
to the attention of Mr.. Egan
when he appeared before the
court. and tomorrow has been
set by the court for a date of
hearing his application for adj
mission and any protest which
the members of the Sioux Falls
bar may have to make against
his admission in the court

Daniel Carrigg Dead

Daniel Carrigg died last
evening at his home on Vine
Street, after an illness of about
two weeks. He was so years
old and had been a resident Of
Council Bluffs for forty. nine
years. He was born in Louis
vile, KY. His wife and one
daughter survive him.
Dan Carrigg was formerly
one of the best known sporting
men in the west, and at one
time was wealthy, but about
fifteen years ago his property
commenced slipping from him
a I'd he possessed but little of
his former fortune at the time
OF his death. Besides the row
of modern fiat buildings on
Fourth street known as Ban
croft Terrace, Mr.. Carrigg at
one time owned the building
where the Commercial National
bank now is, the big brick
building at the corner of Broad
way and Ninth street and the
building on Main street which
was occupied by the Union
Transfer company at the time
it was burned last winter.
Arrangements for the fu-
neral have not been completed,
but it probably will be under
the auspices Of the local aerie
of Eagles, of which he was a
member. Council Bluffs Bee.

Changes in Mail Service

Important changes affecting
the railway mail service on the
Northwestern line west of the
Missouri river go into effect to-
morrow.
Full cars heretofore operat-
ing out of Missouri Valley will
now go out of Omaha, and
twenty-seven clerks employed
on these trains between these
points and Deadwood will re-
port to the chief clerk at Oma-
ha instead of at Sioux City.
Clerks heretofore performing
service between Omaha and
Gregory, S. D., will be assigned
to runs on Omaha and Long
Pine trains Nos. l and 2. Ser
vice between Norfolk and
Dallas will be by apartment
car under the supervision of
the chief clerk at Sioux City.
Runs of clerks on the Fremont
and Lincoln railway postoffice
will be extended to start from
Missouri Valley.
This service also will be un-
der the supervision of the
Sioux City Office. The change
is made for the good of the
service. as the postoffice views
it, for the reason that mail cars
and the runs Of the clerks will
correspond with the manner in
which through train service is
operated by the Northwestern.

One on the Customer

A rather amusing story is
told on a man who went into a
hardware store of a neighbor-
ing town and wished to pur-
chase an ak, says an Ohio
paper. Being shown the article
and informed that the price
was S1.15, he said:
"Why, | can get that same
kind OF an ak from a mail order
h. use for 80 cents"
every well," said the ha~d-
ware man. 81 will give it to
you for the same price provided
that you will do the same with
me as you would with that
house."
"All right replied the
customer as he handed over a
dollar bill, the merchant giving
him back 10 cents in change.
"Now,' said the hardware
man, 81 want 25 cents more to
pay express charges, which
the purchaser gave him. "How
much did your AK cost you?
Gone dollar and fifteen.
cents the man answered.
Every good. Now give me
the 5 cents more for money
order fees and postage" which
the purchaser had to hand over.
Now, how much did your ak
cost you?"
Gone dollar and twenty
cents" said the customer.
mot SO cheap, after all, ;"
said the merchant, wheneupon
he picked up the ak, tossed it
back on the shelf and told the
customer to call for it in ten
days, as that would be as soon
as he could get it if te had
ordered it from the mail order
house. Elk.

The state association of
manufacturers is taking up the
matter of insurance and also OF
express rates for investigation.
A good move. The idea that
one man, be he named Bennett,
or Moses, can live in luxury in
Cedar Rapids and make up a
set of insurance rates for all
the companies doing bus ness
in Iowa to adopt, is too ridicu-
lous for self-resr+ cling Iowans
to stand any longer. He sells
his rates" to insurance COM
.panies and they use them under
a private agreement which
compels every business man
who is insured to pay the Ben
net rate, no matter how ground
less it is or how much of rob-
berry there is in it. The manu-.
facturers' committee is liable
to find a mighty big niger in
this insurance woodpile and we
hope he will be smoked out.
The express rates need no in
vestigation. Everybody knows
they are based on a flood of
watered stock and the people
are mulcted for every cent they
will stand all the time. Elk.

A letter received by City
Councilman Humphrey this
week from Judge Ben Lindsey,
of Denver, the great authority
on the government of children,
advises against placing the age
at which the curfew law ap-
plies at over sixteen. The
leading cities having such a
law do not make a higher age
than this. Judge Lindsey says
that parents should be able to
take care of their own children
after they are sixteen years
old, and not need the city's
assistance to do so. Statistics
also show that children as a
rule, after reaching this age
are old enough to behave them
selves without a curfew officer
chasing them in. Woodbine
Chronicle.
Howard Ward. who lives
southwest of Logan, brought to
this city Monday a genuine
curiosity. 1t was a white 90
pher which he had trapped. 1t
was the first one we have ever
seen, nor did anyone who saw
it recall ever having seen or
heard of one before. 1t was
just like the common gopher
only that it was white in color.
Observer.
Now, when you come right
down to good, sound reasoning,
isn't it a fact the troubles. Of
the poor man and the rich man
are about evenly divided? The
rich man has square meal and
a canary appetite; the poor
man has a square appetite and
a canary meal. The rich man
wants the poor mans appetite
and the poor man wants the
rich mans meal. The rich
man hasn't money enough to
buy the appetite and the poor
man lacks the funds to buy the
meal. Avoca Journal Herald.
The Cedar Rapids Republican
regrets that the democrats have
failed ntheir Des Moines news
paper project. "A good strong
democratic newspaper at the
capital, " it says, would aid il
building up a strong denaoc ocratic
party in Iowa, and a strong
democratic party means better
republican party. When par
ty has it all its own way it is
apt to get into mischief. There
is nothing like the fear of de-
feat to keep party and its fol-
lowers decent" /"
1t is understood that the foot
ball boys and the school author
tiles are clashing over the reso-
luton of the school bord and

be played by the boys in the

ted by a Normal coach. This
seems to have stirredup a feel
ing of resistance to the rule
among the football players and
promises trouble unless some
amicable arrangement can be
made that will satisfy both fac
ulty and students. We hope
that no serious trouble may
come from the controversy over

An exchange says: Learn
this one thing; learn it we'll, that
the man who does not believe
as you do is not always a fool.
The fact that you hold views
not in accord with your neigh
boar is not proof positive that
you are right and he is wrong,
nor is it evidence that your
neighbor is insincere. If this
were not true, all smart men
would belong to one party and
all good men to one church,
And if all belonged to one party
and one church, they would
break up both party and church.
There are two kinds of gossips
and both classes are a genuine
nuisance tosocietv and anabom-
Unable evil. One class deliber-
ately tell and circulate les
The besmerching of reputation
is their delight. The other class,
but little better, takes great de-
light in delving in the past and
reminding the present genera
tion of the forgotten faults and
foolish errors and mistakes
made by the people who have
since redeemed by a life of hon
est probity. If all the gossips
were transported, the work of
salvation would be a far easier
task than it is now"
This is the greatest country
in the world for everything to
go with a rush. The trains
rush. Automobiles rush. Every
body is in a rush. People rusf
for a train and for a seat. Be-
fore the train stops they rush
for the platform. They rush
into a restaurant and rush for a
table and give the waiter a
rush order. They rush the
food into the stomach and then
rush for a doctor to get some
thing for their indigestion. A
fellow will rush a girl for a
short time, rush into an engage
ment with her, rush after a
license, rush for a preacher to
get married, and pretty soon he
is making a rush for a divorce
to end it all. But there are
some times when they don't
rush. For instance a man will
rush into a saloon and never
think Of rushing out. He will
rush into a newspaper office to
subscribe and forget about the
editor for four years to come.
A man will rush through life
as if he were in a hurry to have
it done with as soon as possible,
but when the time comes for
him to die his rush is over.
