death very hard.
Taylor was about 10 years of age.
He was well known in Aspen, having
resided there for many years. He
was charged with numbering in a
terrible manner his young wife. The
evidence in the case was most sensa-
tional.
Following the long trial at Aspen
and the failure of the jury to agree,
change of venue to Glenwood was
secured. The trial at Glenwood was
in prograss for two weeks.

THE GOOD OLD COUNTY FAIR.

It is fair time. September Is fair
time in Iowa. August is too early ex-
cept as regards racing and some of
the accessories Of real fairs. Septem-
Der is the true autumnal month IN
Iowa, when the farm products have
reached maturity. the spring calves
and colts and pigs are ready to go on
dress parade, the people who make a
real county fair have finished thresh-
ing and are waiting for the killing
frosts that sound the signal for the
corn harvest. September Is fair time.
1t carries the frutiion OF all the prom
Use OF the spring, the ripeness and
finish Of the season.
County fairs, real farmers fairs, are
simply. fall festivals, Renaissance
Of the festivals Of the harvest moon
and the holidays that followed the
garnering Of the harvest to rejoice over
their fullness and snap dingers In the
gaunt face Of famine. Old as mans

and the clutch OF the skeleton fingers

signifed the rejoicing of some nomadic
tribe over the certainty that it need not

SOME LAND LEFT.

According to reports from United
States land OFFICIALS we are not en-
iirely out os public lands or likely to
BIO for many years if the remaining
acres are properly safeguarded. All to-
gether wei have still about three quar-
t4rs &c billion acres. Many millions
OF acres oft this land are untillable ow-
ing to tho lack of water, but the recla-
nation service is working diligently
every year and as fast as irrigation
progresses reclaimed lands are ready
for settlement. The aggregate of Uncle
SAINTS undeveloped public domain is
immtnsc. but the lands capable of pro-
ductien without irrigation are small in
ac.eage.
OF the government land over half OF
that unsurveyed is in Alaska, where
}she.e, are ;ss,021. 500 acres which has
not 'oean disposed Of Arizona has A.
1G9,202 acres, Nevada e1,177050, New
Mckee 44,771,905 and Montana 46,532.-
440 acres. Many millions of acres in
the latter named states are mountain
lands, but while they are not capable
of agricultural production they will in
future years yield millions of dollars
in mineral wealth.
How much of this land now consid-
cred valueless to a large degree may
under new conditions and as a result
of new methods become capable of
supporting population is an open ques-
ton. We are gradually getting over the
common impression that to be OF real
value land must grow good crops of
corn ard carry big herds OF hogs and
cattle. Compared to the great domain
that existed for the pre-entioners Of
a sene,ation ago the remaining lands
are pitifuIiy weak and small in area
but they take hold on the infinite pos
sibtlities of scientific future to gain
a possible value that today has never
dreamed or imagined.

AN IOWA PICTURE.
(Waverly Indepen,ient)

During drive of twenty miles In
the Cedar valley this week. one can
see things that would make most
beautiful picture. There are corn
fields where the husks on the ears
are golden yellow and the leaves and
stalks are still green. The corn
fields that answer this description were
cultivated so perfectly that the weeds
are not there. And. then there are fields
Of clover, the second crop OF which, Is
SO luxuriantly beautiful that 1t is good
to look upon, and the fragrance of the
bloom suggests the atmosphere OF
Eden. And there are patches OF buck
wheat in bloom, where myriads Of bees
are busy gathering sweetness for the
pancakes which will be ripe in a few
months. There are fields OF sorghum
twelve feet high. We were not look
ing for weeds. and il some good painter
will paint for us picture. he will
please leave out the weeds, but he must
get in the streaks Of clover along the
driveway. Occasionally there Is a
bunch of majestic slnfowers with
flowers from the size of saucer to
half buslael Get the sunflowers into the
picture We said leave out the weeds
Yes, leave them out, but there are sew
eral punches of goldenrod and purple
asters. You may put them in the pict-
ure There are stately elm trees and
the beautiful naples that seem to
smile and bow and speak. You will be
sure to give them place in the pic
ture. There Is home with perfect
lawn where the hedges and trees are
we'll trimmed, and where there Is row
OF sweet peas which have blossomed
for two months The home Is the be-
ginning of all the good impulses Of our
civilization. There is q power in the

Looker-On In Iona

Germania Sept 5.--A trip from st.
Paul down to this town again suggests
the value of Iowa and Iowa soil and
climate. One can almost see the state
line by observing the corn crop ma
turing on the first day of September.
1t is all in favor of Iowa. However in
southern Minnesota and northern Iowa
soft crop of, corn seems inevitable.
Jack Frost can not make his first Wis
it in this section before Oct / without
big damage to what now promises a
big yield that is, If it has a chance to
ripen.
Successive trips on this date for
three years over the same territory,
settles In the mind of the writer, that
while Iowa raises larger crops, Min
nesota farmers take better care Of
what their land produces. Today In
Minnesota large number of threshing
machines were at work, and in every
instance they were threshing from the
stack. Along in this tier of counties in
Iowa all but one observed machines
was threshing from the shock. Since
these small grains were cut there have
been many heavy rains and more or
less damage has resulted to this grain
left in the shock, from six to eight
| weeks waiting for the machine to
come around.
Another noticeable thing on the av-
erage Minnesota farm is the big red
barn Up there they are conspicuous
by their absence, here one rides miles
before seeing one.
A gentleman from Armstrong men
tions curious bit of railroad practice.
He wanted to attend the Minnesota
state fair, and had to go to Germania
on the same railroad line to get the
benefit of reduced rates. Says this rail-
road company is selling tickets at re-
duced rates from some stations and
refusing to do so at others. 1t suggests
how railroad company makes money
by such practice.
On the occasion of the visitors last
visit to Estherville, the appearance OF
the railroad yards and depot was SO
much improved over the preceding
year, that 1t was the subject of re-
mark by many. At one time several
hundred car loads of coal were piled
up on the ground near the depot, MAX
ing it the prominent feature to the
arriving traveller Now the yard men
keep things in fine shape and thus
gives the town a better appearance.

THE DISTRICT FAIR.

CIV. L. Barlow in Clear Lake Reporter.)
A county fair to me is an educational
Institution, with little recreation
mixed in, where not only farmers, but
breeders, manufacturers and business
men can come together and see what
the other fellow is doing. can go to
a county fair and get well paid for my
time and expense, to just watch the
judge judging the stock, and talk with
the breeders You talk with a breeder
of live stock, and be a. little inquisitive5
and you will get more information
from him in half an hour, than you
could learn in a year, or perhaps five
by experience; for he is interested In
his stock, and pretty good talker on
that line.
Then there are the men from our
agricultural college, and experiment
stations. They tell us of the progress
that is being made in the experiment
stations on agriculture. To hear him
and talk with him broadens our mind
and spurs us on to better and more
scientific farming.

foundation for this charge 1t rests for
cause on the same grounds which The
Tribune gave for the plain partially of
our judge-made common law for the
interests of the master over those of
the servant, the environment of judges,
their personal associations.
The article by the editor of the Inter-
national Molders' union PRESENTS con-
crete instances to sustain the charge
that there is one law for organized
workgivers and another for work.
takers. The Retail Dealers association
of South Dakota agreed not to buy of
wholesalers and jobbers who sold to
catalog houses, and to make an "un-
fair list OF those who did. One of
these brought suit to restrain the asso-
citation from publishing it's unfair list.
A federal Judge held that the retail
dealers had a right to boycott--for that
was It's practical effect-wholesaler
and jobbers who sold to cataloS
houses. The writer parallels this with
the Buck stove case, where organized
labor put that company's product on
it's unfair list and a federal court is

Again in a Nevada case, the mine
owners association agreed to dis
charge all workmen who refused to
surrender their connection with the
union and not employ union workmen.
A state law forbade such discrimina-
ton. "A federal judge held the state
law unconstitutional, and that the
agreement did not constitute a con-
spiracy against the labor organization.
Against this the writer puts the Massa-

no more trade agreements with build
