Springdale had long been known
for it's anti-slavery opinions. The great
er part of the community being made
up of Quakers or Friends who were
opposed to the fighting method of free
ing the slaves, yet longed to have their
shakes removed. The place had long
been known as one Of the stations of
the underground railway" which con-
sisted Of a number Of places across
the country from the slave states to
Canada and freedom. At these sta
tons the fugitives were rested, fed and
then taken by night to the next point.
Mr.. Maxson was one of the men who
was known to be in sympathy with the
movement and acted as an "agent" or
Conductor o fthis railway.
During the fall of '57 John Brown
came from Kansas with ten men, wag-
ons, and a number of slaves, Cleve-
land, Ohio being his destination. Find
ing a congenial spirit in Mr.. Maxson
and many others in the community he
sent his slaves on toward Ohio and
made. arrangements for his men to
winter at Mr. Maxson's home. To pay
for their board he sold all his outfit ex-
cept one span of mules.
The southwest room was given up
to these men and the table was suppl
ed by Mrs. Maxson who not only bak-
ed bread and did the cooking for her
own family of eight, but for Browns
company as we'll. At this place
Browns men studied and drilled for
the stirring times that followed soon:
They had no guns and so used wooden
guns and swords.

Des Moines, July 4.-Records in the
Office of Secretary of State Hayward
indicates that possibly one of the
causes for the present dghtness Of
money in Iowa may. be traced to the
enormous sale of automobiles. The
records show that never before in the,
history of the state has there been
such a sale of automobiles as is now
being made in every section of Iowa.
During the past week the average.
number of new automobiles registered
with Secretary Hayward, has :. been
ninety. Friday 90 were registered and
the day before 103 were licensed. This
makes an average of hundred a day
for two days. The average number
registered during the past three

speak of the modern mother" with
disparagement that the physician who
dared in convention of medical men
to say word in her praise must be
accounted bold man indeed. The

smashing of the American home" and
draw a heart breaking picture of cal
lous young women neglecting their
children while they gamble at the
bridge table. The decadence of a race
Is described and deplored, and the
heartlessness of these typical moth.

Yet here ID physician who has
the temerity to assert that even the
rich women among the patients are
not without thought for the welfare OF
their offspring; that they spare
enough time from their frivolities and
diversions to insist on the proper
physical and mental treatment of
their children; that they take a lively
interest OF infancy and are not averse
to learning how their babies should
be made and kept well and strong.

Some months ago it was reported
that several European clubs would be

now 1t is thought that the organiza-

1t will cost the national association

will reach large sum.
