lNTERURRAN WINS SUIT.
Judge AIbrook Dssoives Injunction
Against TT. Dodge, D. M. & S.

against IT. Ooo9e, y. Ms q >.
Fort Dodge. Dec. 2S.-Judge Albrook
filed his decision late yesterday in the
case of the Illinois Central Railroad
Company against the Fort Dodge, Des
Moines &. Southern Railroad Company.
He removes the injunction secured by
the Illinois Central and the interurban
may begin at once to effect its crossing
and electrify the Crooked Creek.
1t is understood that feeling was so
keen at Webster City because of the
recent action of the steam road, that
boycott was discussed by the mer-
chants there and would have been in
stituted had not the case taken this
turn.
Suit in question was instituted some
time ago by the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company to enjoin the electric
company from crossing the Illinois
Central tracks at grade about a mile
west of Gypsum. The hearing was
held In Fort Dodge about two weeks
ago, Judge Albrook presiding. 1t was
a suit that aroused great deal of
public interest. The railroad cons
missioners Of the state of Iowa in
February of the present year granted
the right to the Fort Dodge company
to cross the Illinois Central railroad
at grade. The Illinois Central Rail-
road Company has persistently fought
every step taken by the Fort Dodge
company to secure the crossing The
Fort Dodge company instituted con-
demnation proceedings and the sher
ifs jury allowed the Illinois Cen
trail $500 damages. The Illinois
Central company appealed from the
order of the sheriff's jury and at the
same time sought to obtain an in
junction to restrain the Fort Dodge
company from proceeding with the
construction of its road

Butler County Politics,

Allison. Dec. 2S.-Altho it is several
months until June, primary candidates
for office in Butler county are already
announcing themselves. Those who have
thus far announced are John S. Aurner
of Shell Rock, for recorder; J. ".
Gregory. of Parkersburg. for county at
torney. 1t is rumored that the present
incumbents Of the county offices may
all be candidates for a third term. w.
r. Stanley, present recorder, is now
serving his third term and may be a
candidate for fourth. but is liable to
meet with considerable opposition and
the sentiment Of the county is not very
strong in favor of even the third term
idea, altho 1t has become something of
a custom to allow third terms to
members of the board of supervisors.
Politics in this county is liable to warm
up considerably with the opening Of
spring. ~ s,s

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Final esti-

issued by the government crop report
ing board, place total valuation of
s245,23S 900 on the ten principal farm
crops Of Iowa for the year. This esti-

for 1909. For this comparison the prin-

out these additional items, DR.. Chap
pells reports show total Of s239,203,-
1913 for the value of Iowas principal
farm products this year, as compared
with a total valuation of s245,23S, 900
reported by the government statis-
ticians.
Corn Value Shows a Loss.
The government report, however.
shows a decrease of $685. 900 in the
value of Iowa's ten principal crops as
compared with the final estimate of
s254,621.oo0 given on the 1908 crops of
that state. This decrease is due almost
entirely to the lower value that the
government experts put on Iowa corn
and oats this year. Despite an increase
of more than 100000 bushels in the
Iowa corn crop for 1909, Uncle Sans
board valued it at nearly $1,000 900 less
than last year, when Iowa corn was
priced at 50 cents bushel on Dec.
as compared with 40 cents this year
Likewise oats. which had an increased
yield of nearly 100000 bushels in
Iowa this year are valued at almost
s6.000,o00 less than last year, due to
decrease in the price per bushel from
AZ cents to So cents. An increase OF
nearly $4,000 900 in the value of hay
this year partially made up for this big
loss to the Iowa farmers.
Iowa continues to rank first of all
the states in the production of hay,
yielding more than one-twelfth of the
entire hay crop of the country. In yield
of oats, Iowa drops from first place,
which it held easily last year, to Sec
ond to Illinois, which had a phenomenal
cat crop this year. The Hawkeye state
again ranks second to Illinois in corn.
Iowa is sixth in its yield of barley again
this year, ninth in production Of pota-
toes and tenth in rye.
Comparison for Two Years.

production of Iowa's principal crops in
1909 and 1908, as estimated by the

is that the wait for fruit 'rees to come

anywhere else in the "Orchard State"
During that short period of develop

land by side industries. and when the

The chicken industry is source of

poultry keepers find this land better for
chickens than any in the Middle West.

In the law creating the office OF build

way the law Is executed.
As the matter Is understood by the
people. the purpose Tor which the or
flee was created was 10 protect the
public against the erection of fire
traps and buildings which otherwise
menace the public interest n the
public safety. If the ordinance Is so
constructed that tho office can be
used by the incumbent for the pur-
pose Of extracting money from the
pockets Of the people for his own
benefit. ana levylng fines upon people
for improving the town, it should be
amended or repealed without a days
delay. If one-half the petty outragos
that have been reported arc true, or
even half true, there should be a new
law or a new inspector at once. The
object of the law Is, or should be.
10 protect the public, and not TO give

A NEW LINCOLN STORY.


Wayne MaeVcogh, who was one OF
the most prominent citizens Of the
country half a century ago, has an
interesting article In the current Issue
of the Century magazine, on Lincoln
NJ Gettysburg, IN the course Of which
he mentions a story told by the great
president which W. have never seen
in print before.
Mr. Lincoln had asked Mr.. Mac
Veagh 10 go with him to Gettysburg
the course of his description Of the
trip the writer tells the following
characteristic story.
"At Baltimore a baggage car in
which had been provided luncheon
attached To the train. aud thither
we were invited just az We we're leay-
ing Baltimore. As the train had en-
tered q deep cut on the line Of the
railway the baggage car mas even
darker than usual, and. OF course, the
noise Of the train was greater. Mr..
Lincoln. at the head OF the table, at
once said That the situation reminded
him Of a friend OF his in southern Il
fin0ie who, riding over a corduroy
road. where the logs were not sum
close together, was frightened
by a thunderstorm In the gllmpses
OF light afforded by the lightning his
horse would endeavor to reach

and fell with his rider. As a result Of
such mishaps the traveller, al
though not accustomed TO prayer,

address his Maker. nnd said oh,
Lord, II 1t would suit you equally well,
Il would suit me much better If had

story, the train passed into the open,
there was much more light and
much less noise. Most stories are old,

THE CAUSE or pIsIItGRA.

1t seems 10 be generaly conceded
that the disease known as pellagra
is caused by eating moldy corn, or
rather bread made from corn that Is
not sound. But n contributor to our
Public Forum department this
morning takes the ground that it is
not mold or rust IN the corn that
cause the trouble, but the WORK of
the worms which so frequently infest
tho little end Of mo ear. on the other
hand, the physicians, and scientists
generally. contend hat the work Of
tho worms, while It constitutes a
nasty ana repulsiye moss, is innoc-
uou when taken into the stomach,
and that the harm is done by ergot, n
parasitic fungus which frequently in
fects various grains and grasses, but
most commonly corn. Thus II would
seem that the worm, while not partlc-
ulatly attractive az an article OF diet,
is not dangerous
