fences, hedges and fields where | had
loitered when a boy had changed
but little; the grass little greener
on the stone walls. and the briars
growing little higher on the roofs
and towers.
"The change was in myself and in
the people all gone. There was no
one left to meet me. The old were
dead and the young old now: moved
away TO America like myself
"Out i'm the busy world all has
changed. but in Tipperary the quaint

strangers. So. after a short stay,
l turned away with my blackthorn
cane from Tipperary forever"

The schedule applies on both new

money brought in by candidate or
her friends on subscription, the more
votes she will get. The votes will be
counted just before each issue of the
paper and the standing announced in
the Public Opinion each week until
the last few days of the contest, when
the ballot box will be sealed and no
more counting done until the contest
is over. The public is invited to
watch each count made to be sure
that everything is fair and impartial.
Public Opinion Wants Subscribers.
To be frank about it, the Public
Opinions only object in going to al!
this expense of over 100000 is
simply and solely TO get new sub
scribers. There are numbers of new
families that do not take the Public
Opinion and live within a radius of
% miles of DEBORAH that ought to
take the paper. We are DESTROYS of
giving our advertisers the very best
circulation possible, and in order to
carry out our plan we must reach
these people. Therefore, we want
every family within twenty-five miles
or more to take the Public Opinion,
and we are going after them hard.
We already have the largest circula-
ton of any paper in Winneshiek
county. (This is a matter of official
record in the proceedings of the
Board of Supervisory but we want
more subscribers for the paper and
are willing to pay for them. This is
where the young ladies of the county
come in. BY devoting a littleA time

People are going to take the Public
Opinion and it costs them nothing
extra to vote. Why not get them to
vote for you? A telephone call or a
visit VIII do the business They will
be glad to help you win. 1t is the
candidate that gets busy early that is

DR.. Coon Has Not
BrOkenQ Quarantine

Presumably because 'all Coons look
alike there have been circulated ru-
mors to the effect that DR.. J. F. Coon,
who practices osteopathy in the city
and who lives at College Place, was
breaking the quarantine which had
been established at his home by DR.. M.
Stiles, the county health officer, the
quarantine being established by reason
of the fact that a member of DR.. Coon's
family was afflicted with diphtheria.
Stories that DR.. Coon was coming reg
ularly to the city were freely circu-
lated with the result that the county
health officer made an investigation
only to learn that it was A. S. Coon, a
brother of DR.. J. F. Coon, who was
driving around the city in the doctors
buggy. AS the two brothers bear a
close resemblance, the mistake was
easily accounted for.
Dr. Coon this morning heard the ru-
mors and telephoned in his explanation
adding that aside from Saturday after
noon. when, after changing his clothes,
he was in the city for a few minutes
with the heal h officers permission,
he had been staying at home since
he quarantine was established. His
statement was corroborated by DR..

OLYMPIA, F'b. 15.-(Special Corre-

Ballinger's code and about 40 complete
laws contained in the session laws of
1901, 1903, 1905 and 1907 are repealed
by the new criminal code, which has
been drawn by the special code COM
mission appointed by Ex-Governor
Mead and which the present legisla-
ture will be asked to pass. The code
.is designed to cover about every crime
known and classes them in such a
manner as to make the practice of
criminal law much simpler than under
the present system. The first section of
the code defines what constitutes a
crime as an act or omission forbidden
by law and punishable upon convic-
ton by DEATH imprisonment, fine or
other penal discipline Crimes are di-
vided into four classes as follows:
Every crime which may be punished
by death or Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary is a felony. Every crime
punishable by a fine of not more than
$3.50 or by imprisonment in county
Jail for not more than 80 days is
misdemeanor Every other crime is a
gross misdemeanor.
Section provides that the following
persons are liable to punishment: A
person who commits in the state any
crime in whole or part; person who
commits out of the state any act which
if commit ed in it would be larceny
and is afterward found in the state
with any of the stolen property; a
person, who being out of the state,
