Eating horse radish was the
cause of the death of a COW and a
steer for VIM. Lumbard last week.
The horse-radish had been thrown
into the cow lot and in their eager
ness for green stuff they chewed the
radish and were taken sick and out
of four two died. On examination
the stomach Innings were found to
be burned from the radish found in
the stomach which caused their
death. This is the first case of this
kind coming within our notice and
is peculiar one,-Lamont Leader.

Saves $4,000 on Wages of ST. A Day

"
: One. of the best examples of thrift
that has come to light is found in
the case Of Octave Girard, of Ware,
Mass, who in twenty-seven years,
working for not more than 81 day
has accumulated $4,000. He is
now seventy-two years old.
The accumulation of this little
fortune is the more remarkable be-
cause he has had no trade and nc
education and to this day he can
not read or write.
He and his wife have successfully
reared thirteen children, of whom
ten are now living. He says that he
and his family have always been
well clothed and had plenty to eat.
He adds that it is due to the thrift
of his wife rather than his own in.
dustry that they have got along SO
we'll. Instead Of spending large
sums for clothing for the children,
Mrs. Girard bought the raw wool,
washed it, carded it and spun it in
t. substantial cloth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Girard both came
from Canada, and Mr.. Girard re-
marks that the inspiration to save
money came from his observation of
the way the old folks were treated
in Canada.
1.-THE old folks seemed to be al
ways in the way" he says. mo
matter how good the children might
be their old parents were something
OF a burden; besides, it seemed hard
ly fair that young people should be
with the care of their par
ents. So | decided that I'd lay by
my savings SO that l might never be
a burden to my children, if 1 hap.
pened to have any,"
Mr.. Giard came to tie United
States when he was sixteen yea, s
Did, arriving in Worcester with 10
cents in his pocket. From there he
walked sixteen miles to Grafton,
where he got Job with a shoemak-
or, He did not make much of 20
If the shoemaking business, and
after several years went to New Bed
sord, where he shipped on whaling
vessel, the Jerry Perry. He follow
I'd the sea for five years, going al
most around the world. All the time
40 was saving money.
When his zeal for the sea had
lied out he returned to Canada to
marry his old sweetheart, Miss A
nanda Girouard. After his mar
,iage he began to save more syste-
natically and to work more steadily.
He went to Ware and was en-
oloyed as coachman at 81 a day,
md for twenty-seven years he con-
inued in that position. He would
still be at work if the family who
him had not closed their
louse.
Mr.. Girard lays down the follow
ng rules for accumulating money.
Steady work at low wages rather
han intermittent work at large wa
5es.
do not increase your expenses as
your wages increase.
Marry young and don't marry a
loll-faced woman.
LET liquor alone.

Benton county is likely to be a
large beneficiary in the estate of the
late John Lormer, of Mt. Auburn.
The matter is in the hands of the
tax ferrets." Last year he gave to
the Cedar township assessor the
amount of $4,000 in money and
credits. Since his death a list of
his effects has been filed.in probate
with the county clerk. This list
shows that he had in money and
credits the sum of $62,O74.95. The
list shows that there was over thirty
thousand dollars in the banks at
LaPorte. AS Mr.. Lormer had been
in possession of the larger portion
of this money and credits for the
past five years, the time covered by
the tax ferret, the county will reap
benefit to the amount of about two
thousand dollars. We do not know
the amount given in this year as the
assessor has not yet returned his
books, but it is likely no more than
previously so that the county will be
a beneficiary this year also. The in
corporated town of Mt. Auburn and
the school district will also reap the
benefit.-Vinton Dispatch.
John Harriott, George L. Dobson
and Milton Remley were paid more
salary than was warranted by their
account with the state of Iowa while
they were treasurer of state, secre-
tary of state and attorney general,
respectively. The over payment
amounted altogether to SlS4.SS, and
the legislature which has just ad-
journed appropriated that sum to
make good the deficit.
From time immemorial the state
officers had been paid by terms.
Under the law they took their offices
on the first Monday in January.
This ranged in date from January l
to s, of course. When their terms
expired, Treasurer Harriott, after
wards lieutenant governor, Secretary
Dobson and Attorney General Rem
ley figured that they were entitled
to salaries for the week between
January l and January s, having
come into Office on the first date and
gone out on the last, and SO serving
a week more than their terms. The
salary for the extra weeks service

The Rankin plan for enforcing
the mulct law will eventually win.
Local residents do not care to take
the abuse and derision of the sa-
loon keepers and their lawless par
tisans, and therefore every commu-
nifty with saloons must witness the
violation if not the absolute defiance
Of law. The Rankin plan throws
the duty of seeing that the law is
enforced upon agents selected for
that purpose, who are expected to
do that duty, and who are removed
from local prejudices and influences.
The sentiment for this law is be.
coming stronger every day, and
when Legislators have fewer debts to
pay to the saloon element it will be
enacted.-Ex.

What is supposed to have been an incendiary fire broke out yesterday morning at 11;56 o'clock in a two room cottage at 76O North Decatur Street. and was for while the cause of mild excitement in fire department realms. Owing, however, to the early arrival of the fire department. the damage to the building was but slight, one corner of the building. being slightly seorehed and the remaining parts of the build ing suffering only from the liberal shower of spray.
 The cottage Is owned by Mcintyre Brothers, and Is occupied by Lucy W.T. burn. a negress. Upon investigation. Captain F. J. Grifith discovered that a bundle of 6agots. thoroughly saturated with oil, had evidently been placed un- der one corner of the building. and near a heap of rubbish.
 Up to a late hour last night no charge had been preferred against any one for the supposed arson, though. the police have been put to work on the case.
 The explosion of gas stove at res- idence at 2l9 South Jackson Street was the cause yesterday morning at 10:3S o'clock Of the rush of the fire depart ment to the scene. though no damage was done to the building.
