Boone and Marshall county people are
making stiff opposition to the pardon
of Elmer Warren, who murdered Con-
ductor James O'Neil, of the Northwest
ern at a little station near Boone III
January, 1891. Warren was making
good progress with his petition till the
Boone people got busy. Warren and
companion were hiding in a box car on
O'NeiHs train. A detective suspecting
their presence and wishing to arrest
them for some burglaries. secured the
assistance of O'Neil. They went to the
box car and O'Neil swung his lantern
over the grain door and was about to
enter the car when Warren shot him

Friends of the indeterminate sem
tence law and the move to make the
Anamosa penitentiary refornatory
for prisoners under the age Of 80 who
are up for their first offense think they
have discovered facts and figures that
disarim the opposition largely who
have been claiming that such a bill
would mean the abandonment of the
penitentiary at Fort Madison. A care
full analysis OF the ages Of the present
inmates Of the penitentiaries shows
that should the reformatory measure
go into eeffct at once the transfer OF
prisoners would result in making the
number of inmates at Anamosa 1,076
and the number at Fort Madison 1862.
That is II all persons over 30 and per-
sons under 80 UP for a second offense
were put at Fort Madison there would
be 1852 and If all first offenders un-
der 80 were put at Anamosa there
would be 1,076 there which is almost
an even division and would not mean

HORSES BRING GOOD PRICES.
Iowa Farmer Has Little Reason I
Complain at Present Time.

Special to Times Republican.
Tama, Feb. 25.-Horses seem to be
in pretty good demand in this vicinity,
judging from prices paid lately. At a
farm sale held recently, two aged
mares sold Tor 5000 each, and at anoth-
er sale young gelding sold for 1891.
and at private sale a 1,300-pound geld
ing sold for s225. June colts sold at
farm sale at $50 per head. These
horses were all of the draft breeds.
Your correspondent, at a recent sale,
saw yearling heifers, of unknown
breeding, sell for $27 per head, and
steer calves. and not very good ones
either, brought $27.50 each, while
chickens brought $6.25 per dozen, and
hay 1915 per ton in the NOV. Surely
the Iowa farmer has little reason to
complain about the present prices Of
his produce

Council Bluffs, Feb. ga contest at
law between men who are rated as mil
lionaires, an echo also Of the famous
Rankin scheme for the reclamation OF
the swamp lands along the Nishnabot-
,la river, is on the docket for trial in
district court at Clarinda next week,
the case being set for Tuesday
1t will be recalled that David Rankin,
the millionaire land owner Of Tarkio,
Mo-, planned at one time to construct a
canal Strengthening the Nishnabotrla,
and which would, it was expected, re-
claim thousands OF acres of swamp
land on either side OF this stream.
In furtherance of the project, Rankin
had constructed an enormous dredge.
1t eclipsed in size and design all pre-
vious efforts in that line of construc-
ton. and was found valuable aid in
the carrying out of the big scheme.
The work was carried to a successful
conclusion and today miles of land for
merly the habitat Of wild animals. big
and little, and where no human person
could long survive the disease breeding
air is now successful cultivated.
The greater portion Of the land so
reclaimed had previously passed into
the ownership of Mr.. Rankin, but a
considerable portion, owned by others,
was to pay it's proportion of the bene-
Ats OF the canal, and the suit in ques-
ton to be tried at Shenandoah is a re-
suit of this work.
Rankin & Cowden, plaintiffs, VS..
John Lingo, is the title Of the case.
Lingo owned some swamp lands near
Riverton thru which the canal was
built. Lingo paid a portion Of the sum
asked, but refused to pay the balance,
claiming that the channel of the canal
was not deep enough to carry off the
water OF the river and that in conse-
quence the overflow is not at all times
prevented
The sum involved is quite large, and
involves questions of interest aside
from the question of recovery.

WHEAT AND MONEY THERE.
But Willamette is Good Enough
for Him-A Few Facts.

They are still in the wheat
business in Eastern Oregon, ac-
cording to Vance Taylor, who
returned from Condor, Tuesday.
"Along the railroad track, every
little ways, there is a long plat
form and on this there are wheat
sacks often piled 40 sacks high"
said Mr.. Taylor in telling of his
trip. The weather is warm and
dry at Condor, the dust is blow
ing and threshing is still in pro-
gress.
"There are no good buildings
at Condon," was the Corvallis
mans statement, " as everyone
puts up shack that will last
while he is making a stake and
then he leaves and goes to a
pleasanter climate. There is
no timber to break the monotony
of the landscape and the eye
tires of the flat land to be seen
tor miles in all directions.
'But there is plenty of money
there, and when fellow takes
his best girl out to anything that
is going on in the way of enter
tainment he always blows
from $40 to $15 for her, and that
is why some Corvallis girls who
are there say they will never re-
turn to this city," said Mr.. Tay-
lor.
Price is no object with residents
of that section and they are liber-
al with their cash. But the Will
lamette Valley looks better than
ever before to Vance since his
