A CORRECTION.

Dies MONIES Capital
In a recent editorial in reference to
the general mixup in the office of the
Iowa railroad commission in regard to
the question of hog freight rates, the
Capital used the following language:
commissioner ketchum communi-
Gated the private action Of the board to
an attorney in Marshalltown by the
name of Boardman, who was appearing
in opposition to the decrease of rates
KetchuRn betrayed the board to the adj
vantage of his friend. Boardmarl; then
Board1nan betrayed Ketchum in order
to return the compliment, and then it
was all out"
At the time the above was written,
it was believed to be in accordance
with the facts, but when the actual
facts were known, the situation was
entirely different. The action ON the
part of the board in regard to freight
rates on hogs was not private nor Sc
cret, therefore Ketchum did not betray
the board, nor did Boarliman betray
Ketchum. The Capital retracts the
statement as regards Boardman and
Ketchum. 1t is now fully understood
.ha. the misrepresentation came from
prejudiced newspaper kilograms from
Washington. AS between Commission
ers Ketchum and Eaton in regard to
the general mixup, we are disposed to
believe Commissioners Eaton was more
to blame, but we did intend to dis
cuss the matter further than to say

OXEN IN IOWA.
CRritf Nws1

Considerable amusement and Curl
osity was aroused Monday when Joe
Haxton drove a team of oxen hitched
TO sled thru the streets of Britt To
the old timers this sight was very nat
ural, only that the team was dressed In
a modern harness instead of the old
yoke and bows. 1t was only about
forty years go that the OK teams were
nearly as numerous as the horse teams
and there was scarcely a farm that did
not contain from two to malt dozen
oxen for work IN the fields and on the
roads In central Iowa, where the
writer was reared nearly all the break
ing of the prairie was done by the big
twenty four and thirty inch plows
hauled by from four to six OK teams:
and thousands of the big covered wag-
ons, more Familiarity known as prairie
schooners, passed thru that part Of the
state, nearly all propelled by oxen. 1t
was sight not soon to be forgotten
and will never be seen again.

that conditions are such as 10 render

the possible removal OF the bodies OF
men and mules which are poisoning the

1t is thought that the rescue which

Of the disaster wait the resurrection
Of those awful things which were once
their husbands. Children hurry past

waiting with babes in their arms whom

ages to stand by the iron railing which
surrounds the main shaft TO look in the
fascination Of grief and horror on the
doors that are to open. Slav, Polack
Italian, Hun and American, common

No wonder the authorities fear the
time when the cages shall come creak-

for madness 1t viii be then. When
those widowed mothers wait outside
that iron railing men will have need OF
strong souls. If these women were

Of extraordinary occurences-Such a.

Abbott considers well substantiated
and historic"
What he believes with all his mind
and heart is that Jesus lived among
men-"the supreme manifestation in
a single human life of the God of or
der and of grace"-and that Jesus
arose from the dead. He finds it as
credible that Jesus exhibited an ex-
traordinary piwer over nature and
humanity as that instances of 1t were
"inadequately and incorrectly report
ed" He is convinced that the rising
from the dead was not at all a con-
tradiction of the orderly processes OF
nature: every death is a resurrec-
ton" After all, he says, the miracle
that we have to account for Is chris
tianity itself, and the man who Will

thing. The deductions that can come
from two minds. with the same evil
dence before them are frequently total

bit of reasoning or rather belief IN
something. he says was has never oc-
Cured Two things must be admittea.
The first is that Jesus Christ If he dieo
and was resurrected, natures laws
were violated" The other Is unless
Christ died, really died the death OF
human beings. the story of the resurec-
rection and all of the bible story tha'
goes with it is false. To the big ma

false statement destroys, utterly oe-
