$500 of those new "Lincoln" one-cent

They bear but little resemblance to the
old Indian head" penny we have
been accustomed to for so long, and
but for the fact that Cashier French
was presenting his friends with speci-
mems of the new coin, some people
might have mista ken them for some
new gold piece.

Yet This Fall

Judge Parish left last Friday and is
holding court this week at Ashland.

clean up leftover cases. The jury was

Saturday afternoon, after being out

for a long time. While the circumstan-
tial evidence against Mr.. Haasl was
strong, the defence showed a lack of
motive inasmuch as all the insurance
would go to satisfy the mortgage on
the building which Mr. Haasl was
charged with setting afire.

of perjury in swearing in his vote at
election, the state failing to prove that
INGRAM was not the home of his family.

attention to the advantages of stamp
ed envelopes in place Of adhesive
stamps. These advantages are many

Women Should sho OF

The women of Ottumwa are arming
themselves, two hundred revolvers
having been sold during the last few
days. That shows something Of the
right spirit. No one ought to hest
tate to shoot the man who enters a
house by window in the night time
unless the husband should be out
late. The burglar Or the rapist has
no reason to expect better fate. He
goes armed and prepared to kill, il
it becomes necessary to defend him
self. The laws have been toe lenient
with that class Of criminals. They are
really much worse than the man who
kills in fiji of temper. A rapis
ought to be hanged and a burglar
ought to be punished as severely as {
murderer. They are two of the mos
heinous of crimes, since they invade
what ought to be the sacred place o.
every family, the home.

Woodward Enterprise: A few morn
ings ago a COW belonging to Amos
Wright, which had been running in the
pasture south of his house, began to
act strangely, paving up the ground
with her hoofs, staggering around, fall
ing on her knees to the ground and
otherwise cavorting around in an I'M
usual manner Amos was at loss
to understand what was the matter
with her, thinking probably she was
going mad, when suddenly it flashed
upon him that the animal had been
drinking out of the slough where dur
! ing cold weather the Scandal booze
had been poured out. The COW was
/ drunk She sobered down after
awhile and was all right again and has
been a good COW ever since, though
no doubt she had an awful headache
the next morning.

INTENDED TO DEFEAT CARROLL

The Arlington News, one of the lead
ing Republican weekly newspapers in
the state, believes that the Byers bills
now before the legislature are intend
ed to spell the defeat of Governor Car
roll for denomination two years from
now The bills in question make the
matter of law enforcement mandatory
upon the governor in this respect,
that he is empowered to remove coun-
ty attorneys and sheriffs. The News
declares that there Is not a county in
the state where the governor or any
other man could comply with this law
either way-by removing negligent Of
fcials or by non-removal-witho
killing himself off politically, and adds
that 1t knows this to be true in Fay
/ cite county. The News view of the
matter is further expressed in these
words:
We do not believe that any governor
is compelled or should be compelled
to cut off his political head to salts
fly any set of people. In every county
in the state the governor would BIZ
criticised if he did remove them ant
he would be criticised if he did not
: There would be difference of opin
ion as to whether he should or should
not remove officers and he would b,
besieged all the time by one party O
the other in the matter. II the stat
, wants 20 enforce the liquor law lie
it inaugurate the state marshal bill
into a law and have men whose dut,
. it is to enforce these laws as the Uni
ted States government does to Sc
that the internal revenue laws are er
forced The President of the Unite
+ States is not made to remove me
1 for what some other men nay say i
s non-enforcement of law. Then VIII
n should the governor be placed In tn
n same position? If Governor Carroll I
. next" and We'll bet he is, he will loo
) with care to this bill If it comes t
= him for his signature. Attorney Gel
| eral Byers is the man who wrote OF
i all the opinions needed few month
l. ago among them being one saying Ii,
