How a Story Started.

Secretary of State w. C. Hayward
wrote to Oskaloosa not long since
concerning the collection of cor
poration tax from the Iowa lnterna-
t.onal Cold Cure company, which was
an institution in Oskaloosa a number
OF years ago. The letter delivered
to Jack" Redmon, the late Col. j. T.
Redmon was connected with the COM
pany of the kind. @, The communica-
ton was then turned over to DIR. Cow
eny, who was said to know of the
corporation. In this way a rumor
was started of a new company being
organized in 0skaloosa which has
in fact, no foundation.

In one instance in the west ranch
man found gold color" in his val
liable orchard. He figured that he
could make more money gold mining
than by fruit raising. so he installed
a dredge in his orchard. The trees
we're cut down as the dredge pro-
crossed and soon all the great orchard
had been destroyed by the machine.
but the ranchman had been made
millionaire, while it was matter Of
ease to replant his orchard.
