RECEIVER FOR HORSE
Something New is Asked In the
Local Courts.

The appointment of a receiver for
a horse will be n new thing in local
jurisprudence if the petition of F. l..
Barnes is granted by the district
court in the case of F. L. Barnes VS..
John Love. The appointment of a
receiver over property and business
Is not an uncommon occurrence, but
a horse is new subject for receiver
ship. The petition grew out of the
damage suit of the same tue which
was heard in the district court of this
county on the fourteenth day of this
month. Barnes once bought q horse
Of Love with the understanding that
but soon after the purchase he says he
discovered that the mare was moon
eyed" He then returned the horse
to it's former owner and demanded
the return of his money and upon the
refusal of Mr.. Love to refund the pur-
chase price he brought suit for dam
ages. The jury refused to allow him
damages, but instead allowed Mr..
Love judgment against Mr.. Barnes
for s32 as compensation for the ex-
pense he was under while caring for
the animal after it was returned to
him. The case has since been ap-
pealed to the supreme court of Iowa
and while pending there the plaintih
asks that the horse be turned over TO
a receiver to be cared for, as he be-
lieves that it will be less expensive
and to the best interests of every one
interested in the controversy. 1t is
claimed that the animal is at present
under the care of Mr.. Love at an ex-
pense to the plaintiff Of from $40 to
SIS monthly. The name of Richard
Boyer is suggested as a suitable re-
ceiver

WELCOME BY ARGENTINA
TORPEDO BOAT FLEET ARRIVES
AT suENos AYREs.
Lieut.. Gone Pleased with Hearty Re-
ception--LittIe Vessels Had
Fine Trip from Rio.

Buenos Ayres, Jan. 27-Attended
by division OF Argentine torpedo
boats, the American torpedo boat
fiotilla which left Rio Janeiro Janu-
airy 81, entered the port of Buenos
Ayres at $3.50 Sunday morning, the
arrival being witnessed by great
crowd of spectators.
A few minutes later Commandant
Moreno, of the ministry of marine,
went aboard the Whipple and well
coined the American officers in behalf
of the government of the Argentine
republic. The entire extent of the
public docks, where berths had been
prepared for the visiting fleet, was
lined by detachments of marines and
prefecture guards.
Almost up to the moment of enter
ing port the weather had been ex-
tremely stormy, but it gradually
cleared and brought increased num-
bers of spectators down to the har-
Dor to give silent but hearty, welcome
to the American sailors. Lieut.. Cone,
commander of the flotilla, was greatly
pleased with the hearty reception.
He said that but for the fog which de.
layed the little vessels about IL hours
outside Rio Janeiro, the passage to
Buenos Ayres had been fine.
Every boat in the American fiotilia
is in excellent condition and made the
passage here without hitch. The
boats will remain here until Thurs.
day morning, when they will steam for
Sandy Point in the Magellan strait,
to join the battleship feet.
A number of entertainments have
been aeranged in honor of the visitors,
which will include excursions TO in
teresting points, banquet TO be given
by the minister OF marine, and recep-
tons by the president of the republic
and the Naval club. These will take
up Monday and Tuesday, and on
Wednesday there will be reception
at the American Legation and a num-
Der of private parties.
All of the men on the fiotilla are in
good health.

RICH SUICIDE GIVES DIES MONIES
WOMAN $4,000.
ENDS REMARKABLE ROMANCE.
X. c. Hendricks Who Knew Mrs.
Watts When She Was Girl
s Writes Her a Letter, Then
Shoots Himself.

Des MONIES. Jan. 27.--Thirty thous-
and dollars, her heritage left her by
H. G. Hendricks, who suicided at
Chattanooga, supposedly because she
rejected his proffers of marriage, was
received today by Mrs. j. e. Watts, a
pretty and accomplished widow, who
lives at 1906 Twenty-fourth street.
This is the remarkable ending of a
Tennessee romance which began
years ago and ended today with the
receipt of the bequest by Mrs. Watts
in Des Moines.
Whether Hendricks shot himself a
fortnight ago because Mrs. Watts
thought she could not be his wife is
mere conjecture. But a letter that
she received shortly before he ended
his earthly career gives room for sup
position that such is the case. For
in the letter, Hendricks told Mrs.
Watts that when he was gone, he
wanted her to have share in his es-
tate equal to that of his brother.
Then came the announcement
through Hendricks attorney of the
pIONlSiOiS VI Tic SulCIue Will. anu
today the $4,000 was turned over by
a Des Moines attorney. who had sat
isfied himself as to the identity of the
University Place woman as being the
same mentioned In the will
The Hendricks will provided that
his brother should have 100000; his
mother was given $4,000. and to Mrs.
Watts was given the remaining $780,
600, which includes, it is said, sum
mer home on Lookout Mountain said
to be valuable from its associations
as we'll as intrinsic worth.
Stranger than fiction is the extraor-
binary tale. Hendricks, who at his
death was So years of age, loved Mrs.
Watts when she was little girl at
Hampton. She is 90 years his jun
Tor. As the years passed by the girl
married Watts. She has two pretty
children. They visited often at Chat
tanooga, for Mrs. Watts was very fond
of Hendricks mother.
Mrs. Waits has resided in Des
Moines only few months. She is a
woman of charming manners and is
already very popular in her neighbor
| hood.

MR.. TAFT REPORTS
ON PHILIPPINES
PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THE
ISLANDS MOST BRIGHT.
SHARP REPLY TO CRITICS
Total Annual Expenditure Only
$4,000, INSTRUMENTATION to
Congress- Concerning Bust
ness of Archipelago.

Washington, Jan. 27.--Nine years
after the battle of Manila bay, Secre-
tary Taft records the results of the
American occupation of the archi-
pelago and forecasts the future of the
Fflipinos in an exhaustive report
transmitted to congress by the presi-
dent, with a letter written by the
chief executive, commencing in the
highest terms the secretary's conclu-
sions.
The president declares that ruin
would have followed the adoption of
any other policy towards the Philip
pines than that outlined by William
Mckinley and carried forward through
these nine years, and asserts trium-
phantly that there is no brighter page
in history than that dealing with the
relations between the strong and the
weak in those islands. He adds that
the Filipinos have yet long way
to travel before they will be fit for
complete self-government"
Taft Is Very Optimistic.
Secretary Taft's report records his
observations on his recent visit to the
islands to the extent of nearly 80
printed pages. Generally speaking,
the secretary is optimistic In high
| degree in treating of this subject, even
though he cannot fix time for declar-
ing the independence of the islands.
In answer to the critics who have
made the most astounding and un.
fair statements in respect to the cost
to the United States of the Philip
pines" he figures out total annual
expenditure of 100000 and he vigor-
ously denies the failure of the Philip
pine policy.
He says that great changes have oc.
CURED in the islands. The people. are
now anxious to have the American
soldiers retained There is a high
standard of administration of Justice
Nothing is more popular than the con-
stabulary. There are no questions
between the government and the
Roman Catholic church, unless the
Aglipyan schism can be said to be
involved. Peace prevails in a greater
degree than ever before in the history
of the islands.
recommendation to Congress.
The secretary is willing to limit the
amount of sugar and tobacco that can
be exported to the United States. He
| predicts development of business
within 25 years that will make the
Filipinos themselves stand high in
the worlds industrial populations.
His recommendations are that Phil.
ippine products be admitted into the
United States free of duty under rea-
sonable limitations; that present re.
strictions be removed on the acquisi-
ton OF mining properties; that the
Philippine government be authorized
to conduct an agricultural bank, and,
finally, that the islands be exempted
from the operations Of the coastwise
shipping laws.

favorable playground for Dan Cupid,
and the number of his victims before
the close of the school year was ex-
ceedingly large in comparison with
the number and average ages of the

prophecies are being made as to the
extent of the matrimonial accomplish
ments at that institution, and from
present indications the 1907 record

near future, and Dame Rumor has II
that at least half dozen more are

Useful Hints On Handling of Cows
Before Caiving.

Useful Hints On Handling of Cows
Before Caiwing.
In answer to q question bow to "dry
of" the milking COW, Prof. J II. Frand-
son, of Idaho experiment station, gave
the following suggestions:
The trouble with many dairymen is
that in drying up COWS they are afraid
to stop milking as long as the COW
shows any tendency of giving milk.
In many they do not realize that to con-
tinue milking through the entire year
is an exceedingly bad policy. In ordi-
nary cases it is desirable that the cows
should be dry from a month to six
weeks. The object being to increase
the supply Of nourishment for the
growing foetus as well a, enabling the
COW to improve her physical condition
before the time of calving. When it il
thought best to hasten Laying off, y
start by not milking the COW clean
This will generally decrease the smoun'
to point where it is safe to skip every
other milking. In about week tn,
milk will generally be reduced to sucf
proportions az to justify milking onl,
every other day. Generally soon afte
this 1T will be safe to discontinue milk
in Il altogether.
The drying off, is most easily &C
complished when COWS are fed on dr..
feeds as much az possible
There are few persistent mixer
which can be done more harm by
forced drying off, than to let Their
milk up to calving, but such COWS ar
decidedly few in numbers.
