Foul Murder at 0elwein.

One of the most brutal murders in
the history of Fayette county was
committed at Oelwein Saturday night,
when Mike Halen, 26 yea. old, killed
George Bennett, GO years old. Halen
was taken to the county jail at West
Union before morning Sunday to
avoid the possibility of lynching
and has made a written confession to
the county attorney.
Halen and Bennett were both en-
tpioved in the Great Western shops.
From what can be gathered of the ter
rible tragedy, it seems that both men
had been drinking Saturday night.
Late in the evening Bennett was
about TO start for his home, when he
asked Halen 10 accompany him. That
is the last any one knows of the
affair except for what Halen now has
TO say.
An hour or so after they had started
for BENEFITS home Halen approached
the night watch on the street and told
him that he had killed Bennett. The
night watch thought the fellow was
out of his head at first, but when he
insisted that he was telling the truth,
they got some parties and went to the
scene of the tragedy. an open lot a
couple of blocks from the slack which
Bennett called his home. There they
found Bennett sweltering in his own
blood with his threat cut from ear TO
ear, the wound being jagged and
ugly one.
Halen told the officers that he was
accompanying Bennett TO his home,
as lie had been requested to do, and
when they were in the open lot, Ben
nett became ugly and accused him of
following him. Looking up he dis
covered that Bennett had knife in
his hand and was about to strike He
struck first, however wounding Ben
nett in the throat. Halen here claims
that this wound was a bad one and
that Bennett said .'You have started
on me. Now you had just as well
finish the job. - Taking Bennett at
his word. Halen Gains then to have
taken another knife from his pocket
and did finish the job.

grade of talent and the nature of the
subjects of these lectures. AS the
subjects indicate, they will prove not
only instructive but entertaining.
Some of the men on this course have
achieved national reputation in their
line of work. 1t is the opinion of
those indorsing the course that a town
the size of DEBORAH will be amply re-
paid by supporting a lecture course
during the long winter season.
1t was for this reason and not for
the purpose of making money that
part of the teachers assumed the re-
sponsibility of managing this course.

penses it will be used towards the
purchase of a stereopticon for the
public school.

THE CAUSE OF COLDS.
Good Advise Regarding The Prevention Of
Coughs and Colds.

If people would only properly forti-
fy and strengthen their system, about
50 per cent of coughs. colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These trou-
bles are simply the result of weakness.
which produces a catarrhal condition
of the mucous mem brane, which is as
an internal skin of the body. When
this skin is weakened, it becomes in
fected with germs which are carried
through the system by the blood.
These parasites attack and break these
delicate tissues and set up soreness
which produce what is in reality an
External scrofula.
The only thing thaf will cure
coughs and colds and prevent pneu-
monia is a medication which is alb
sorbed and carried by the blood so
that the diseased membrane is disin-
fected. cleaned, soothed and healed.
We have a remedy which we honest
ly believe invaluable and unsurpass-
dUlt IOi bllC anu VI
coughs. colds and all catarrhal condi.
tions. 1t is,the prescription OF ia
nous physician, who has an enviable
reputation of 80 years of cures gained
through the use of this medicine. We
promise to either effect in every case
or make no charge for the medicine.
We urge everybody in DEBORAH who
has need of such "a medicine to try
Rexall Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy if we were not abso-
lutely positive that we could substan-
tiate our claim sin every particular,
and we see no reason why anyone
should hesitate to accept our offer and
try it. We have two sizes Of Rexall
Mucu-Tone. Prices SOC. and $l.00.
Sometimes SOC bottle is sufficient for
cure. AS a general thing. the most
chronic case is cured with an average
of three large bottles. Remember the
medicine will cost you nothing il You
are not satisfied in every particular.

HELP GET Better ROADS.
What System Shall We Adopt To Get The
Public Roads in The State Of Iowa Up
To Higher Standard?

We consider that the most important
thing after raising the products on
the farm. is to possess good facilities
to get these products to the market,
especially when prices are climbing
upwards.
After trying the old plan of work.
ing the roads in common, the road
law was changed to paying road tax
in common with practically the same
results. A law to be effective, must
be simple. Let us see how the old
countries of Europe have solved the
problem. Perhaps we can learn some
thing from them. Their plan is SIM
ply this. They pay no road tax but
the roads are divided so that every
land owner has piece of road to
maintain. He works this " whenever he
has the time to spare.
When he once gets this piece of
road in fair condition it requires little
work to maintain the same. Substan.
tial bridges of stone or concrete are
built which last for centuries These
are paid for by the land owners
through a small animal bridge tax
sufficient to cover interest of cost of
constructing and five per cent addi-
tional so that twenty years after a
bridge is built it is paid for and
owned by the county.
A county officer, generally the sher-
iff, has the supervision of the roads.
When piece of road is reported to be
in bad condition, the officer notifies
the land owner to repair the same
generally allowing him fifteen days to
do so. If the road is not put in prop
er condition in that time the officer
has right to hire to get the work done
and charge the expense to land owner.
The result speaks for itself and the
system could be most conveniently
adopted in Iowa where the checker
board system is in use. This system
applied to the roads in Iowa would
be two miles of road to every section of
land, divided equally among the land
owners. To get this uniform we could
divide the roads adjoining each sec.
tion to the east and north among the
land owners Of said section. Thus
each farmer would have something of
his own to take pride in when the
work is done right, be his own boss
and do it when he has the time to
spare. AS rule the hilly roads will
shed water readily if worked The
only difficulty would be found with
the bottom roads which are subject to
floods, but where there is a will, way
can be found.
In such cases the land owner who
would have no road TO work could
pay road tax not to exceed one mill
ont he dollar of the assessed value,
this money to be applied to raise and
drain the bad bottom roads in each
township. The county prisoners could
also be made useful to work On the
bad bottom roads. Also the poll tax
could be used.
Our representatives and senators are
willing TO make and amend laws
which are beneficial to the people
which they represent. Therefore If
this simple plan seems practical to
you do not hesitate TO ask the repre-
sentative and senator from your dis
trict TO introduce or support this road
system when the Legislature meets that
il may become law
Yours for good roads,
Louis L. Larson, Stanton. Iowa.
