ten for four days after he had
been placed in the city Jail dur
ing bitter cold weather this

from the sanitarium here, Grip
pied for life by the freezing
Of his limbs and their necessary
amputation. He has been sent

Guided from the citizenship rolls of
those nations when they were pre-
pared by Secretary Hitchcock of the
interior department March 4. 1907.
The suit was instituted by J. r.
Fleming, and was very sensational in
it's charges. 1t was alleged among
other things that the citizenship rolls
had been prepared on fraudulent lists,
that the citizenship court had been
bribed, that $T50,000 had been paid TO
an Oklahoma legal firm as the result
of unlawful conniying, and that, not
withstanding these charges had been
brought TO the attention of Secretary
Garfield, he had failed TO investigate
them. II was also asserted that the
secretary had withdrawn vast areas
of land for reservation purposes and
for other uses contrary to law.

MAhAskA COUNTY LAND.

Three hundred dollars an acre for
a Mahaska county farm is the latest
high price record. The Dillon Stalk

ing forty acres, has just been sold
for $4,000, or at the rate OF $500
per acre. Fred Butler, VINO recently
sold his eighty-acre tract nearby, fol-
$500 per acre. is the purchaser OF
the Stalker place. 1t goes without
saving that both places are well i'm,
proved. but nevertheless, the deals
are fair criterion of the coming
values OF Mahaska county farms.
Both places are ideal homes. and
the new owners figure that they will
not only be able to enjoy life amid
pleasant surroundings but Will also
be able to make the land yield good
returns on the investment. Cheap
land always carries with it many
psiyations and the necessity for long
and arduous toll, Happy therefore,

roses. He is beset on all sides Tor
contributions to this, that and the
other thing, and be ii said to his ever
lasting credit, he generally contrib
utes literally, according to his means.
No one who is on the outside mas an!
idea of the number of subscriptions
he is on. The total amount at the
end of the year is generally much
more than his taxes. Everything Oh
n public nature is very largely financ-
ed by the business man. The church,
the Y. NJ. C. A., the various beneVo-
Ilences and utilities that make Tor the
good of the community at large mas
his liberal support
When the canvass was made TOT
the Short Course which the farmers
of the county are looking forward to
with so much interest in December
the men in charge will tell you that
the Commercial Club appointed a
committee to help with the canvass
and the business men contributed
very literally to assure its financial
success. The premiums of the lnstl'
tute have largely been furnished by
our business men.
In 1908 the business men raised
about $500 for a Fourth of July cele'
lbration, about the same amount to ell
terrain the X. of P. Grand Lodge and
about $500 for the Crocker's Brigade.
This. is not said complainingly but
only to show a few of the many calls
that are made.
1t is somewhat of an anomaly, but
none the less true, that II any man or
set of men have a grievance against
| a town for any cause whatever, the
first man they decide shall feel the
result of that grievance is the bust
mess man, although the probabilities
are that the business man is the very
one who regrets the grievance most
and has done the most to try and pre-
vent the cause which gives rise to the
grievance. 1t seems to be human ma,
lture to cause the business man to suf'
fer for the sins of others. They pro
TESS to believe they are getting even
with the perpetrators by making the
business man suffer.
1t would be well to apply the square
deal rule and not kill the goose that
lays the golden egg. Wrongs were
never righted that way. The golden
rule still holds good.
