Hepburn May Give 1t Up

Creston, la Jan. IL Differ
ences of opinion among Colonel
Hepburn's friends relative to
the advisability of continuing
the contest against Congress-
man-elect w. D. Jameson have
practically resulted in a deci-
sion to withdraw from the con-
test.
The Eighth district republi-
can congressional committee
met in Creston this afternoon,
and after hearing the subcom-
mittee's report decided to for
ward it to Hepburn for his con-
sideration.
While the investigation in
some Drecints was favorable, in
others it was not and it did not
appear to the committee that
,iamieson's lead of 80 could he
overcome.
Hepburn has said he did not
want it on any technicalities,
and it is the belief that he will
now have the contest dismissed.
Following along lines adopt
ed and tested with much sue
cess in several European count
ries, the officials of New York
state have determined to test
the farm cure for vagrants and
tramps. The legislature will
be asked to make an appropria-
Ition to pnrshase and equip a
large farm where habitual
tramps and vagrants will be
required to work summer and
winter, until cured of their
"wrnderlust" by being convinc-
ed that they have to work for
their living.

License Law for Hunters.

After July next all Iowa hum
ters may be compalled to pro-
cure a license to pay 81 fee. At
least that is the Geo. A. Lincoln,
game warden, would have it,
according to a statement made
TO a Sioux City paper.
Mr.. Lincoln is mailing to all
deputy game wardens, and to
the various senators and repre-
sentatives, copy of a letter in
which he explains that he will
present for the consideration of
the members of the 33rd gener-
al assembly, a plan requiring
such a license. He states the
bill will provide that every res
ident Of the State shall, before
hunting, procure a license, for
which he shall pay 81; that a
record shall be made of all those
licansenses and the fees remit
ted to the State to be placed in
a fund foT the purpose of pay
ment of the expenses of the
State game and fish commission
No license will be required or
asked from persons to hunt on
ly upon their own land.
The attention of the Onawa
saloonkeepers was called last
week to an old Iowa statute
which forbids the sale of intox-
icants by any man to Indians.
When informed of the law
the saloons had large cards
printed notifying Indians not
to enter the saloon and say
they will see that no intoxicants
get to the Indians through
their places of business.
The Indian is very much like
a white mamie likes irewat-
er and it serves him just as it
does any other man. 1t is said
that the government officials
are back of the movement and
that over in Nebraska they are
after some saloon men who
have been violating the Slo-
cumb law in its application to
the Indians. Onawa Democrat.

loss of S15O,O0O, the damage to
the building, however, being
but $4,000.
The fire stated at the door
of the office of the Swanson
Film Rental agency. An en-
ploye of the concern was leav-
ing the office, with several films
in his hand, when he ran into a
man smoking a cigar. The
films instantly became a mass
of flames, and the blaze COM
municated to the rest Of the
films in the office. The north
west corner of the fourth and
fifth floors of the building were
Quilted by the fire, while other
parts of the building were only
smoked.
The loss of the film company
is declared to be $4,000. The
rest of the loss is scattered
among a number of firms.
Last March OF the Veterans
The annual report of the pen
sion commissioner shows that
during the year 54,366 names
were dropped from the nations
pension roll, 50,676 having died
and the others having been
dropped for vaTious causes. OF
those who died, 81 1888 33333 were
soldier and sailor pensioners of
the civil war, the other dead
being widows or dependent
beneticiaries. The number of
pensioners is now 951,687, of
whom 658,O71 are soldiers or
sailors, 293, 1O6 are widows or
orphan and $40 are army nurses.
In spite of the death Of so,
600 or more pensioners each
year, the pension roll is almost
as large as it ever was in the
country's history, due to the
liberal pension policy of con-
gress by which service pensions
have been granted to practical
ly every man who bore arms in
of the civil war. The annua

tion of Iowa will then have
been amended for the first time
in many years. The resolution
to amend the constitution was

In Kane Township For Sixty
Years.

Born in Kane township he
declares, August z, 1916, and
having lived there ever since,
Joseph Yocom, who was in the
city yesterday is ready to con-
test the claims of anyone else
who may aspire to being re-
garded as the oldest settler, in
time Of residence, in Pottawat-
tamie county.
Mr.. Yocom says that his par
ents came to what is now Coun-
Gil Bluffs in the great Mormon
expedition, but decided not to
undertake the journey across
the western plains. They re-
mained in the vicinity and
went to farming.
81 was born in the midst of
the Indians" remarked Mr..
Yocom yesterday. cat least
there were more Indians here
than white people.
81 remember we'll the old log
cabins. l used to buy at Suits
mans store which was one of
the leading trading places in
the old days."
Mr.. Yocom has lived in Kane
township ever since his birth,
sixty-two and a half years ago.
His farm is on rural mail rou te

TRUTH WELL STATED.

A whole volume ofsound sense
is compressed into a few words
by President Finley, of the
Southern Railway, in his address
to the students of the Universi-
ty of North Carolina. Among
other things he said:
sin whatever career the young
man of the South may select,
he will ind opportunities at
home among his own people.
He will not find it necessary to
go either to the North or to the
West. AS time goes on he will find
these opportunities in increasing
abundance, for the economic
strength of the South, already
great, is constantly Increasing
THE wealth OF our section in
natural resources is being sup
plemented by increased financial
strength, and Southern COM
munities are becoming better
able to finance their own enter
prises and less dependent on
outside capital.
1.-THE South needs every one
of her young men, and those
who are faithful to her she will
beautifully reward"
Great as has been the growth
of the South, that section is
only at the beginning of its
career of development. The
South is not overcrowded with
population and can for many
years yet furnish opportunities
for all who earnestly seek them.
Far-sIghted financlers, railroad
men, and other leaders or IN
dustry are almost unanimous
in predicting that the greatest
development of the next two
decades in this country will oc
cur in the South. Washington

Dancing is to be a feature of
the congregation of the First
Universalist church Of Atlanta
and the dancing is to be done in
the church building itself. The
pastor is quoted as saying that
he considers dancing an inno-
cent and healthful amusement"
and he ''does not believe in let
ting the devil have all the good
things" Such liberality (?) up
on the part Of the pastor should
make his church very popular

by the last legislature was that
prohibiting the drinking of in

States Senator to succeed Seua =
tor Taliaferro, but Mayes, with
characteristic good sense, de-
clines the proffered honor and
says that he has other work to
do that IS, to him at least, of far
more Importance than going to
the United States Senate, even
if the latter were possible. He
also believes that he can serve
the people Of West Florida to
much better effect as a private
citizen than he could in public

Mayes is publishing one of the
brightest and best daily papers

upon that section OF the State a
hardship indeed. No, let Mayes
