Northwood March 26.-The sheriff
of Worth county, a deputy clerk of the
district court, and the people at two
lawyers offices, were kept busy for a
few minutes, and then partook of
somewhat delayed suppers last even

few minutes before o'clock from at
torneys at Fairfield. asking that writ
of attachment be issued against a car
of steers, worth $1,000. which would
pass thru on train 80. bound out of the

the message, had been part of the prop

Council Bluffs.
Sales of corn and hay to farmers in
this vicinity, instead of purchases from
the farmers, are reported by local
grain dealers. One firm has sold to
people living in the neigfborflood of
Council Bluffs $4,000 bushels of corn
within the last few months, while in
previous years the purchases of this
company from farmers in local terri
tory have generally ranged from TO-
900 ito 10000 bushels. The opinion is
expressed that the unusual conditions
with respect to corn are due to less
acreage about Council Bluffs having
been devoted to this crop in 1908 than
/ was the case in previous years Less
hay, too, was raised in this vicinity
last year than usuaf.
Oskaloosa.
Mayor Ralston and Arthur Walls,
acting chief of police. upon sanction
Of the city council, have made an ar
rangement for the disposition of dead
dogs by cremation The death rate
on the canine population of the city
since last September has been high.
Frequently as many as eight or ten
dogs per day would be reported to
the mayors office for disposition or
burial. For some unaccountable rea-
son the dead dogs of the town seem TO
become the property Of the municipal
ity, no matter who the previous owner
may have been, and the expense OF
interment is invariably paid from the
city treasury. The cost of burying a
dog has been from Is cents to $1.25.
The cost of cremation is less than
half that.
