Private John G. Brady, Of Company
f of Oskaloosa is running around with
a chip OH his shoulder today. He was
the victim last night and every one Ct
his comrades are giving him a cle;,r
path today. His is husky and they do
not care to engage in any alteration
with him. however small. He was
placed on special guard duty last
night and was told to. get the name of
every man that came down the COM
pany street. be he colonel, captain or
private. Several tried to pass him
without obeying his order but they met
with the point of a bayonet. BY the
time every man had turned in Private
Brady had a list of names a mile
long, as his comrades expressed 1t.
But the best part Of the game came
when one of the company nabbed an
officers sabre and assumed the dignity
and authority of a captain. He ac-
costed the rocky special guard and de-
manded to know whether or not he
had ever been sworn in. Since this is
not a necessary procedure for enlist
ment the rocky replied In the negative
Without delay the erstwhile captain
marched him to the hospital tent and
in accordance with the swearing In
process he was made to strip off his
clothing. And 1t was cold, too, at that
midnight hour. The examination was
completed. He was then ordered OF re-
port to Lieutenant Fee with his names
but the rocky finally tumbled and
baked.

Please Send Subscription Price Of
Tri.Weekly Courier TO This Office
Before Above Date.

Several weeks ago 1t was published
in this paper that in order to comply
with the postoffice rulings, it would
be necessary to put the subscription
| list of the Tri-Weekly Courier on a
cash in advance basis. At that time
we did not set positive date when
this would be done, but took that
| means of notifying the subscribers SO
that they could have time to make
payments in advance. We have heard
from hundreds of our subscribers, and
without exception they express them
selves as pleased with that policy be-
cause it does away with the accumula-
ton of back subscription.
The postoffice department allows q
publisher to send q Tri-Weekly paper
to subscriber until he owes six
months subscription, at which time 1t
must be discontinued This Is an az
gravation, because it makes the pub
fisher cut the subscribers name Off
the list and then send bill for
small amount. 1t is also practically
impossible for the publisher to live up
to the postoffice requirements and at
the same time extend the six months
credit, because some people will allow
the time to expire and that again ne
cessitates the sending out of the little
bills.
Therefore it is necessary for the
publisher and more satisfactory to the
subscriber to simply discontinue the
paper when the time for which 1t Is
paid expires. That is the system upon
which all magazines and practically
all daily papers are now handled.
The Tri-Weekly or Every-other-day
Courier, is the best paper of its class

APOSTLE OF ROADS

requiring compulsory dragging OF
roads. under the direction of county
engineer, will do much for roads dur
ing the coming year when the new tax
Is available. He had nothing but
praise for the latest road leading into
Ottumwa which Is known as the Of
tumwa-Des Moines road. This road is
clearly marked by painting the poles
white. The Des Moines Commercial
association has cooperated In the
marking of the road. The ex-senator
has devoted one-half or two-thirds Of
his time during the past two years to
good roads work, being president of
the Iowa Good Roads association. He
rejoices in the success of every road
in the state. OF course, he is especially
Interested In the, River-to-River road
which engaged all his time last year,
but he Is free to say that unless the
River-to-River road men remain wide
awake, some of the other roads will
Guido them and take some of the traf-
fic away from them. This road work
must be kept up every year." said he,
but this would be true IL the roads
were made Of asphalt. After a good
dirt road Is made, It takes but little
more to keep it in repair than would
be done to keep brick pavement in
order" He thinks the state must de-
pend on dirt roads for a half century.
and that the young man Of the state
might just as we'll bend their energies
toward getting the best dirt road pos
sible. He says the best work being
done for Iowa cities and towns and for
the communities generally, is being
done by the young men. They are all
boosters naturally and Iowa can count
much at their hands in the near fu-
ture.

Z Prisoners Father on Stand.
Henry Clay Beattie, ST., father OF

hour just before court adjourned yes
terday for the day. AS he stepped to
the witness stand the prisoners race
flushed. The white haired man, his
face deeply wrinkled and pale, spoke
In a voice scarcely above q whisper.
Counsel leaned forward over the
bench to listen to him.
He talked with great effort, repres-
sing an ever-recurrent emotion. He
told Of how his life had been sadden-
ed by the death Of some of his chill
dren, how Henry in his infancy had
been neglected because twins came
into the family during his boyhood and
DIES cribed how on this account and the
death Of his own wife he had grown
closely attached to his son. He de-
scrfbed the strong love that had ex.
listed between Henry and the Inflated
wife, testifying that he himself grew
to love his daughter-in-law as one OF
his own children.

Beattie, speaking of the dead woman,
1T was like starting life over for me
to see the grandchild. It drew US all
together"
The father spoke highly of his sons

mony Of many witnesses for the prose-
cution that Henry showed no signs Of
grief after his wife's murder. He de-
clared that he sobbed and moaned al.
most all night after the tragedy.
When Beattie had finished and was
ready for cross examination by the
prosecution, Mr.. Wendenburg waived
the opportunity.

Dress parade will be held again this
evening on the parade grounds in
front of Camp Bishop. Although a
pretty spectacle in the khaki uniforms
a part of the attractiveness of the
dress parade is lost in the absence
of the dress uniforms of blue. It is

dress parades held during the remand
