Waterloo, Feb. 13.--Special: Elk,
Governor Horace Boies, of Iowa,
writes letter to Iowa friends from
Hemmet, California, in which he ex.
plains some of the reasons of Iowa's
loss in population as he sees them.
Governor Boies states that damage
to the state results from drastic leg.
islation and the passage of laws
abridging the personal rights of the
people. He says that the loss to the
state does not lie so much with the
people who have left the state as it
does in the fact that people refuse
to come into the state and subject
themselves to laws now on the sta.
tute books and to the possibility OF
future unfavorable legislation.

Eight Pairs Discovered in a Shock Of
Corn Near Fremont.

and the voice at the other end of the
line said: This is |. M. Read, sheriff
at Oskaloosa" Ned began to wonder
what he had done that the sheriff was
wanting him. But Ike went on to say
that they had gotten hold of some
more shoes and they wanted Ned to
come. up and look, them over to see
if they were not some of the shoes
stolen from Lambert &, Vernon's store
at this place. Ned went up on the
1861 train and returned in the after
noon with eight pairs of shoes which
had been found in a shock of corn in
a field near Fremont. The shoes
we're tied up in a shirt which looks
