Bye Baby Bunting,
Daddy's gone a hunting.
To get a little rabbit skin.
To wrap Baby Bunting in.

While daddy, an Indian buck called
Youngbear, was in pursuit of the rab-
bit, the skunk, the musk rat. and the
mink along the valley of the Iowa riv-
er. near Liscomb, that he might feed
and clothe his family, his squaw. Mrs.
Youngbear, became the mother of a
papoose in the tepee close to the river S
bank Despite the cold which, on Tues
day afternoon, the little REDSKINS birth
day, lowered not far above the zero
mark, both mother and daughter are
doing well.
The Youngbear couple is two of a
party of Indians from the Tama reser-
walton, who have been spending most
of the winter in the Iowa river valley
trapping fur bearing animals.
Little Miss Youngbear. in spite OF
the fact that her parents think she is
about the cuttest little copper colored
infant that ever opened its eyes inside
the walls of a tepee. does not have q
corner on all of the attention of the
little Indian settlement. for one of the
other Indian couples has papoose only
months old. In spite of the very Sc
we're weather the tiny Indian seems tc
enjoy the frequent trips he makes or
the back of his mother to the village OF
Liscomb. Miss Youngbear has not a.
yet enjoyed her first ride.

An important meeting of the execu-

Fair Association will be held in this
city Wednesday morning. The meeting
will be held in the office of Secretary
w. M. Clark, room 10, First National
Bank building. Several important mat
tiers are to come before the committee,
including the selection of the dates for
the 1910 fair, the appointment of the
superintendent of the different depart
ments, and the revision of the premium
list.
The members of the executive COM
mittee of the fair association and 9TH
ers interested are going to put forth
every effort to maintain the high
standard already set by the association,
| in having Marshall county's fair re-
ported by the state agricultural society
as the banner fair in the state. 1t is
predicted that the 1910 fair, weather
permitting, will eclipse any of the pre-
ceding four exhibitions in the associa-

Association, and was caused. It IS
claimed, because OF pressure brought
to bear by the railroads.
Further. the dispatches state that
when Attorney General Byers learned
of this action OF the railway commits
sion he raised an objection which re-
suited In the commission holding an
other meeting just few days ago and
passing a resolution instructing the at
torney general to fight for reduction
on all classes OF live stock. practically
resembling the action taken at the
meeting in November.
To all these claims the commission
enters vigorous and emphatic denial.
and by records In the office offer proof
that every action OF the board was
taken in good faith not under pressure
from the railroads. and done quietly SO
as not to embarrass the meat pro-
ducers' association in its case.

For 81.

Dies Moines. Jan. s.-when settle
ment Is made of the case In which the
Rev. L. +. McCray secured verdict
OF 81 against several Valley Junction
men for alleged Islander. It will have
cost the taxpayers OF Polk county four
times as much as any one OF tho ltt-
igants, This is due to the fact that
the trial OF the case took up seven
weeks time. during which the juror
fees alone amounted to nearly 3l,200.
Add to this the salary of the Judge. the
bailifr and numerous other costs which
the defendants do not have to pay. 1t
Will make the total nearly $1,000.

Pendants have to pay is the Judgment

RAIL BOARD IN DEFENSE.
Enters Denial to Charge Of Double
DEALING in Iowa Case.

Dealing IN iowa case.
Des Moines, Jan. S.-The state rail-
way commission is indignant over the
Washington dispatches to the effect
that it has been false to the Iowa snip
pers in the case of the Corn Belt Meat
Producers Association against the
Iowa railroads to secure lowering OF
rates on all live stock from Iowa points
to Chicago, which case is now on for
hearing before the Interstate commerce
commission In Washington.
The Washington dispatches were tc
the effect that the commission at a Sc
cret meeting in November, decided that
it would change it's mind about inter-
venng on behalf of the shippers for q
reduction on all lives took, but would
stand for reduction only in the cattle
rate.
The decision of the board. the dis
patches said, was made known to the
railroads, but not to Attorney Genera
Byers or the Corn Belt Meat Producers
