Attention Land Purchasers

Will you need money to pay for
the land you bought?
If SO Now is the time to arrange
for it.
The enormous sale of land all
over Iowa and the high prices paid
means a greater demand for money
next spring than has ever been
known before. This also means a
close money market and possibly
higher rates of interest. The wise
man looks ahead and does not wait
until the last moment. We have a
large fund that we can rely upon
and are taking applications daily
for March l, next. In the 81 years
we have been loaning money in
Audubon and adjoining counties
we have never disappointed a pa
tron. Come in Now and make your
arrangements and your money will
be ready for you the day it is wan
ted. We. an on both the first and
second NOR. ages and will do as
we have always done in the past,
make larger loans on better terms
than anyone else can possibly do.
We will be glad 10 see you aud give
you terms.
NASH & PHELPS,
Audubon, lowe.
We have arrs red with the Ex-
change Bank, Extra, Iowa to look
after all loans for us in the south
part of the county. Be sure and

 It Is stated that in enumeration districts where the population Is large iy or some particular foreign national ity, the supervisors ought to be able to obtain members of that nationality with sufficient intelligence and educa- tion to act as enumerators The em- pAoyment Of such persons as enumera- tors will also tend to disDel any pre- Juuice that may exist against the cen- sus among the foreign population It would also reduce the cost of the em- ployment of interpreters
 The supervisors are informed that the regular form of application for application for appointment as enum- erator; circular setting forth the duties and qualifications of census enumerators: a blank form to contain the designated names, and a circular stating precisely the rates of com pensation to be paid enumerators, will be furnished later on
 Applications should be addressed to the individual supervisors and not to the Census Bureau It is understood that the fih-g of applications will be permitted to continue until about January Is. The population and agri- cultural schedules will not be for warded the Supervisors until a few weeks before the enumeration begins It is estimated more than e5.000 emu merators will be employed, of which number 45.000 will carry both the pop ulation and farm schedules.

Fewer Prisoners

A condition is now existent at the New Haven county jail that has not been observed there for some time past there is room for all the prisoners in the institution. without crowding. and also for some new ones. The total on the roll at the New Haven institution just at present Is about 300 in all During the spring and last winter there were considerably in ex- cess of 400. A number have ended their terms there, and apparently there has been nc, such increase in new pris- oners as there has been decrease in old ones- Whether the good times have affected even the jail or not is a quest,on. but 1t looks as if that were the case During last winter the jail was so crowded that bound-overs had to be placed two in a cell. and ac- commodations even at that were taxed to the utmost

BIG TELEPHONE CONTEST COM

Thei independent telephone compan- les are preparing to make a strong fight for what they call ..the principle of open competition" which is, they say. athreatened by the biIlfon dollar comhine'. meaning thereby the Amer lean Telephone & Telegraph-western Union combination. A meeting of the Independent Telephone Association will be held at Chicago on Dec. '. and 1t. representing 12.ooo companies and 4,- 0o0000 subscribers-these. figures come from the associations representatives and may or may not be correct-'-will make a formal protest to Washington against the restraint of trade that they believe will be effected by the absorp- ton of every telegraph interest by the Bell system-'' From this. 1t may be inferred reasonably that they antici- pate an eventual combination of the Postal Telegraph with the Bell West ern Union combine.
 The Independent companies are also proponing ito appeal for protection to the Attorney General of every one of the many. States in which they assert Wan Street money is now being used . Already. suits have been brought in Ohio. Indiana Missouri. Iowa and Michigan to prevent the acquisition of independent lines by> the A T. & T.. The Independents are preparing to build a trunk wire system from the Atlantic coast to the Missouri River. and claim to already have a total sub scription of s5o.ooo .eee.
 It Is question whether the absorp- tions already effected by the A. T. & IT. come within the purview of the antitrust law as recently interpreted by the U- g. Circuit court in the Stan dard on case The gist, of that de- cision Is contained in the following ex- tract therefrom:
 holding company owning the stocks of other concerns. whose com mercial activities, if free and indepen- dent of a common control. would nat with each other. Is a form of trust or Combination prohibited by Section of the Sherman Antitrust Act
 This would not. it is conceded. apply SO far as the A T. & T. confines its holdings In subsidiary companies to those which are not In competition with each other. but 1t may apply to- the absorption of independent compan- les which are in competition with sub sidiary companies of the A. T. & T. This is the evident object of the in- dependents. vix-. to prevent any more absorptions Of their lines by the A T. & IT. and to thus leave them as feed CTS to their proposed trunk line.
 The decision. if applied to the A T. & IT. would merely compel 1t to- appor- tinn its holdings of shares in compet- ing companies to it's own shareholders Ik would not compel a. dissolution of ths A T. & T. which owns non-com- pe1ng trunk lines as well as many non-cnmpeting subsidiary lines.

From all points come reports of an

BEAUTIFUL ORCHARD
Supervisor Pin Of Seville Township
In Peach Harvest.
1900 BUSHELS OF PEACHES


That Gratiot county soil can grow
peac hes the equal of any In the fruit
belt is amply proven by visit to the
w. L. Pitt farm in Seville township.
The writer spent an hour In the
orchard this week and witnessed the
busy scenes incident to--picking. pack
ing and preparing the fruit for mrket
The orhard occupies rolling piece of
land containing about five acres. upon
which sixtv-five lemon free peach
trees, seveny-five gold drops, one hun
dre6 and thirty Kalamazoo, one hundred
fifty Engle mammoth. fifty Crawfords
and fifty Smocks. all of which are
bearing The crop this year is an
unusually heavy one. Mr.. F. E.
French. who is superintending the
picking. informed us that the crop
would reach POO bushels with good
prospect for 1900.
Two hundred bushels of Kalamzoos
were picked Monday, while other trees
were so heavily loaded with fruit that
the limbs were weighted TO the ground
On one branch. not over eight or
ten inches in length. we counted 26
large peaches of the Kalamazoo
variety. while one lemon free that was
measured required string ten inches
long to reach around it, Mr. Pitt
is finding ready market for all his
fruit which will average him 81 so
per bushel for the season. The
packing house is in charge of Mrs F.
E. French and Mrs Vim. Shong and
is certainly busy place. The picking
of the fruit is in charge of Mr.. f. f.
French. who is assisted by a number
of men who carefully remove the
peaches from the trees to the basket
after which they are loaded on truck
wagon and removed to the packing
house where, after sorting. they are
ready for the market. Admitting the
crop TO not exceed 1,200 bushels and
an average of Sl.h0 per bushel
maintained we have 81. for a
crop grown on five ac res or an average
of 1850 90 per acre. Who can beat it,
