IMMIGRANTS BUREAU
 MAY BE ESTABLISHED
COL. A. V. SWATY WILL EN- DEAVOR TO BRING MIMI
 MIGRANTS HERE.

Col. A. V. Swaty, who was the gov ernment agent in charge of the dem- onstration farm work in this county in 1908, is now citizen of Faulkner county, and is planning to do some work for the county in the way of inducing desirable immigrants to To- cate here. Col. Swaty and his son have purchased the crop of Joe Rich ardson on the Will Lewis place, four miles from Cato and will cultivate the crop this year, after which they ex- pect to buy farm in the county.
 Col. Swaty has been interested in immigration work during the past year, and has just returned from a trip through several European na- tions. He is native of Austria-H Hun gary and is able to converse in sev- eral different languages, thus making it easy for him to get acquainted with the immigration situation, and he says that it will be an easy matter to bring a large number of families to this county. Col. Swaty thinks the move ment can be successfully carried along in connection with the county land provided sufficient number of land owners can be induced to join n the movement.

EVERYBODY IS
 AGAIN AT WORK CAPITOL LABOR QUESTION ARE NOW ALL SETTLED AND WORK IS PROGRESSING
 RAPIDLY.

Little Rock, June 6.-Quiet reigns at the state capitol and all the work men are putting in good time without trace of strike left. The differ ences between the timers and steel workers and the contractors were triv- ial and all were settled Saturday night, the men returned to work to- day. The stonemen will go to work as soon as there is stone on the ground sufficient to put them to working reg ularly. The question of union quar- ried stone will be settled as easily as have all other labor differences at the capitol.
 The frame for the stone dome is now in place, only small amount of riveting remaining to be done be- fore the steel workers are entirely out of the building. The plasterers are doing the major portion of the work now and by July 1 will have the white coat on in most of the rooms, so that the windows can be put in and the finishing commenced. From the present appearance of the build ing, it could be completed as far as the present contract goes, by Septem- per 30.
 Many politicians here to attend the state convention have gone out to carefully inspect the building today.

INrERURRANs AND CASH.

There Is talk Of an, electric line
bewteen Mason City and Forest CITY,"
says the Burlington Hawk-Eye. Both
towns have made an excellent showing
in the census, and that enables them
to interest the eastern capitalists who
are building railroads. 1t is still a
bit strange that Iowa the richest state
in the union, has to go to some COM
paratively poor eastern state to get
the money, when she wants to build
some little dinky electric line between
two flourishing towns-a line that is
sure to earn big dividends. Strange
that Iowans would invest their surplus
in other states, and in all sorts of ven
lures that may or may not be profit
able, and at the same time they would
overlook some of the very best things
in the world that are offered them
right here at home. There ought to
be money right here in Iowa to build
electric lines wherever they are really
needed and will yield the necessary re-
turns on the investment. And the
average town could afford to take a
shot at an investment Of that kind,
provided she got the road, even II the
Investment never yielded a cent of di-
rect profit"

oHIo's BRIBE3Y ORGY.

Apart from the moral considerations
involved in the disclosures of whole
sale vote buying in that Ohio county
there is a very great question
whether bribery on such an extended
scale proved paying investment.
For instance, some of the hundreds OF
indicted voters who pleaded guilty,
paid fines and accepted disfranch1se-
ment for five years, declared that they
had been in the habit of selling out to
both sides and then voting as they
pleased Why this annual or biennial
orgy in bribery was continued through
recurring elections when results
showed that so little votes were
changed is hard to understand.
Reports from West Union, Ohio, the
county seat town where the indict-
ments were returned, state that before
court adjourned yesterday 226 voters
had been brought into court and had
admitted accepting brides. One nun
dred of this number were inmates OF
the county infirmary. The evidence
of these county dependent was the
only evidence to show that one side
had benefited more than the other
from the vote buying. These defend
ants said the republicans had only Of
fered them 81 vote last fall, while
the democrats offered and paid them
SO apiece. The county intirmary they
said, went solidly democratic. How
ever, the republican loss there no
doubt was overcome in other localities
where there was bigger slush fund.
and anyway there was no way Of de-
termining whether all these county
dependents had voted straight after
pocketing their tens.
It is rather staggering to contem-
plate the moral phase Of the Ques-
ton. 1t Is hard to understand how in
this enlightened age these voters have
year after year been satisfied to bar
ter their citizenship for few paltry
dollars.
The presiding Judge of the district
says he expects the grand jury to re-
turn about 5000 indictments before it
concludes it's labors. More than 800
already have been returned.
This Ohio county seems to be ripe
just now for good old-fashioned re-
ligious revival.

TERsE TALES ABOUT PEOPLE.
Her odd Repcrtoir.

New York, Dec. 29.-This story has
to do with a. once popular actress who
married the head of a big corporation
The friend who told it mentioned
names freely, but perhaps it is Just as
well to tell it anonymously. Wishing
to do something nice for poor but
self-supporting relative the ex-actress
invited her to come out Of the west
into New York. The visitors baggage
was light, but she explained that she
was the possessor of an artistic tenn
permanent and an artistic repertoir.
The repertoire was not defined, and
the hostess looked puzzled. To en-.
Tighten her the newcomer presented
a list of the pieces she was proficient
in. The rich relative read items like
this: Victory, Is minutes; Rebecca,
20 minutes; Venus, 20 minutes"
81 think" said the hostess, that
have never heard any of these pieces
played, nor seen them acted
"Oh," said the young woman, Il am
not musician nor an actress, am
an artist model and these are the
studies l can pose Tor the number OF
minutes can stand to sit without
moving a muscle. Every up-to-date
model has her repertoire, and the
artists know right off what to expect
of her."
EeIs as Shell Fish.
Billy Gibson felt hunger for shell
fish stealing over him the other day
So he walked for forty blocks to get
to a restaurant where he was sure to
find that sort of thing particularly well
done. The colpred waiter bowed him
to his chair.
Give me dozen oysters said Mr..
Gibson
The waiter was gone long time;
when he returned he replied that the
house was out of oysters.
"Then give me some CLANS, said
Mr.. Gibson.
The waiter took plenty Of time about
it. BY and by he reported that the
house was out of clans.

mo Lobster, sah," said the waiter
Haven't you any she'll fish at all?'
asked Gibson.
"yassyh,' said the waiter, PLENTY OF
shell fish, sab. Eels, sah."

THE COLD AIR TREATMENT.

A few years ago, said New York
physician, If "a doctor had prescribed
open windows and appliances Of ice
cold water as cure for cough, he
would probably have been sent to the
psychopathic ward for examination
into his sanity. Yet this, he adds, is
the sort Of treatment which great
many New York physicians advise, I'M
der certain conditions, for sufferers
|, from colds and the grip.
This question was brought up by
the reply made by Mayor Gaynor to
the letter Of citizen complaining Of
the lack Of heat in street cars. The
mayor stated that he believed it would
be better if the cars were not heated
at all. Some Of the New York physi-
clans side with the mayor and declare
that if the cars were not heated at all
the health of the public would be bet
ter for it.
The passenger, bundled up in an
overcoat, enters the car and soon, if it
be very warm, begins to perspire.
Then the car-door is opened and a
blast Of air chills him. During his
Journey he is alternately hot and cold,
and if there IS anyone in the car suf-
fering from cold-as' there Is almost
certain to be-he ia breathing In
germs that may develop into pneu-
monia. Upon leaving the car he Is ex-
posed to the full vigor Of the Icy
blasts, and, as he has been wearing
his overcoat in the warm car, it ,af-
fords him little protection. By this
method, say the doctors, at least a
half of the throat and lung affections
Of New Workers are contracted and
developed.
