In the executive office is the chair

left behind are two walnut book cases

pieces are bea gtifully designed and show
little or no wear for the leneth of time

that one limb was torn entirely from

Livestock Shipments Large-Drainase
District Litigation is Expected.


Special To Times Republican.
Swea City, Jan. 21-A number of
cars of live stock were shipped out Of
here Saturday night. During the last
two months the railroad company has
found it necessary to provide an extra
train to accommodate the live stock
from this point. There is probably no
other town of it's size in northern Iowa
that ships the amount of live stock
that is shipped from this station. There
are a good many cattle on feed, altho
not as many as usual. Feeders are
finding it extremely hard to find corn
enough and are paying from As to SO
cents per bushel for native corn, and
SO cents for new corn.
The board of supervisors were view
ing the first section of Mud creek
drainage district No. 4, which has been
completed and also viewing lands to
which exception had been made to
assessment The board claimed the
ditch was first class except the last
three-fourths of a mile, dug after
frost, which was uneven. The assess
ments in this district will undoubt-
edly be confirmed by the board this
week, ana tHell illlSdllou VIII SolIi-
mence There were 1870 objections filed
to assessments as levied by the COM
missioners. The cost Of the tile work
in this district seems to be out of all
proportion to the benefit received in
almost all cases. The land owners in
district No. had a large meeting re-
Gently and appointed committee to
lay their grievances before the board
of supervisors. 1t seems these people
have been paying interest on bonds for
nearly three years and very few have
received any benefit and lasting benefit
is very doubtful in any case. The time
