REFUSES TO GUST MAGISTRATE
Judge Watts Dismisses Petition for
Rule to Show Cause.

Greenwood, April 21.-Judge
Watts here this afternoon declined
to issue an order requiring Magis-
trate Kerr to turn over to J. w. Can
field, Gov. Blease's appointee, the
books and papers belonging to the
Office of magistrate at Greenwood.
Judge Watts held that the title to
the office was involved and that he
could not try the title in a proceeding
of the kind brought by the attorneys
for Mr.. Garfield. The rule hereto
fore issued by Judge Watts in this
case was heard on the petition and
affidavit of Mr.. Garfield attached and
on the return of Mr.. Kerr and afl-
davit of Senator C. A. C. Waller at
tached. The petition, among other
things, alleged that the appointment
of Mr.. Garfield was a recess appoint
ment and demanded possession of
the books and papers of the magis-
trate's Office.
The return of Mr.. Kerr denied
that the appointment was regular
and put the question of title to the
Office in issue.
The Contentious.
1t was contended by the attor-
neys for Mr.. Garfield that on the au-
thority of the case of Whipple and
the Seibels case they were entitled to
a rule requiring Mr.. Kerr to turn
over the books and papers Of the
office. The attorneys for Mr.. Kerr
contended that the doctrine of those
cases applied only where there was
a prima facie title to the office
shown by the record and that in this
case such did not appear, but on the
contrary the title to the office was in
issue and the court could not try the
question of title to the Office on a
rule to show cause. They relied on
the case of Bullock VS.. Mcmillan and
other cases.
No'Prejudice.
Judge Watts held that in order to
grant the rule he would necessarily
be required under the allegations of
the return to try the title to the Of
flee, which question he could not 90
into in a proceeding of this kind,
and passed an order to this effect,
without prejudice of the right OF
either party to bring such proceed
ing as they might desire to test the
title to the Office.
The next move belongs to Mr.. Can
field now, and it remains to be seen
what this will be.

Squire Stops, Wedding Called OF.

Lexington, KY, April 19.-After
saying part of the ceremony that was
to make Charles Stanford and Mrs.
Ida Bryant man and wife, Squire Alb
ner Oldham yesterday stopped to
clear his throat just before repeating
the words, 'T now pronounce you
man and wife," This throat clearing
on the part of the squire saved Stan
ford 81, but lost him wife. Be-
fore the ceremony could be complet-
ed a deputy clrek rushed into Old
hams office, exclaiming: Hold on,
squire, don't do that"
The clerk then explained that no.

stanfords mother gave his age at 10
years, and served warning against
the issuing of a marriage license to
him. This warning was discovered
after the license had been issued.
Stanford got his 81 back for the
license.

Detecting Spurios Money.

Sooner or later all bad money is
discovered and destroyed. Most
bankers take lessons in detecting
bad money. They are first taught
to find out what constitutes good
money, and then to discover the
false. Good money is made with
delicate and elaborate machinery
and is always perfect in every de-
tail.
Counterfeiters can not obtain such
machinery and have to resort to COM
paratively clumsy means Of repro
ducing the bills. Coins can not be
duplicated, for their perfection
comes from their being stamped out
of cold metal under hydraulic press
ure.
It is claimed that in the business
world the losses from counterfeit
money are not nearly as great as
those from worthless checks. There
has been a new law passed to the ef-
feet that anyone having in his pos
session a counterfeit piece of money
knowing it to be such-will be
liable to arrest in case he should not
turn it in to the proper authorities.
There is a heavy penalty of fine
and Imprisonment.

HOW ABOUT "s1DE DRESSING? ?'
The Kind of Fertilizer to Apply and
the Time to Do 1t.

DR.. D. N. Barrow, South Carolina
Field Editor of the Progressive
Farmer, says:
The farmers of this State have
bought from Is to 20 per cent. more
fertilizer than they used last year
and the bill is still growing.
The most common question to-day
among the farmers is, How about
side dressing?'" Many, not content
with placing large quantities in the
ground at the time of planting, are
following this up with side dress
sometimes with every cultiva-
ton. Nor are they particular as to
what they use as a side dressing. AS
often as not this is a complete fer
tilizer, many times a combination of
nitrogen and potash, and, of course,
nearly always nitrogen.
I have nothing to say against the
use of nitrogen in the form of nj
trate of soda or some other easily
soluble form, when used at the right
time. But it does seem unwise, to
say the least, to go to the trouble
and expense of making side applica-
tions of both potash and phosphoric
acid. When we remember that these
two substances are rarely if ever
leached from the soil and that both,
even when in a so-called soluble
form, requires some little time to
become available to the plant, it
does look useless to go to this extra
expense. I think there are very few
who follow this practice who can
show any material gain from side
applications of either of these sub
stances. When used in connection
with nitrate of soda, of course, the
mixture shows a gain. But would
not there have been equally as large
gain had the nitrate of soda alone
been used? This I very much sus-
pect.
Personally I have never seen any
evidence of gain from making side
application of either the phosphorus
or potash, and I am convinced that
that many a dollar is wasted by this
practice. On the other hand there
is no question of the economy of
side applications of easily soluble nj
trates in the form of nitrate of soda.
The most approved times for this ap-
plication, in quantities of from Is to
100 pounds per acre: for corn, about
the time it punches to tassel; for cot
ton about first blooms; and for
grain (winter,) from February 18th
to March 1st.
Such applications will be found
especially valuable if the crop is
backward from any cause. But it is
much surer and at the same time
cheaper to apply all of the phos-
phoric acid and potash at the time
of planting. In fact, there is some
danger Of failure to derive any ben
eft from either of these if their ap-
plication is delayed until after the
plant is well started.

if they are well made and long
enough no harm will result. Feet
Kept in good condition with proper
walking gear will stand a good deal
of nonsense with the dress-up mo-
ment. 1t is the torment of practical
everyday footgear that puts them out
of kilter.
Girls inclined to aat foot should
not wear slippers without heels, or
walk much barefoot, even about the
bedroom. A frequent change OF
shoes and stockings. too, is required
by the sensitive foot, the one that
easily tires with any shoe, however,
comfortable, that swells with warm
weather or perspires unduly. Such
feet, and all others, too, for that
matter, should be bathed once a day
with soap and warm water; after this
a rub with cologne or rum will help
to harden the foot. and if there is
pain in the instep bathing with a
very weak solution of bicorbonate OF
soda will help to allay it. Any ma
nipulation of the feet with the
hands is excellent after the bath
such as rubbing the big toe joint to-
ward the toe tip. working the ankle

Upper Iowa Power Company Decide
to Construct Second Big Power
Dam and Close Contract To.
day For Construction.

1t has never been the privilege of
Public Opinion to make announce
ments of greater Importance to the
people of this part of the state than
it was first to announce the plan to
construct concrete power dam and
plant near the Anundsen cabin seven
miles east of Decorah on the Oneota
river; then after the calamity which
befell it, the decision to construct
another, still larger, ten miles east
of the city the present efficient dam.
Some weeks ago we announced
that the Upper Iowa Power Company
was seriously considering the advis-
ability of constructing new water
power plant on the site of the first
dam built by this company, seven
miles east of Decorah. Since that
time the matter has been very
thoroughly investigated by the COM
pany Competent engineers have
been here and examined the propos-
ed location, about one hundred feet
below the former site, drills have
been put down across the entire
bed of the river and a solid rock
foundation found at depth varying
from u to 80 feet, and their re-
ports have been that satisfactory
dam may be constructed here.
Now it gives us more delight than
ever to be able to make the an
naenceneEs .vhat the Upper Iowa
Power Company has decided to con-
tract was signed with the contract
ors in Chicago yesterday, being sub
mitted to them by Mr. r. Nj. Burtis,
who arrived in Decorah this noon,
and this afternoon the Decorah Off
cials of the company will attach
their signatures to the contract. The
contract is let to Messrs. Brogan e
Rich, of Chicago, Mr.. Rich being the
Ben G. Rich who had the contract
Tor the construction or the present
dam, and who became a very pop
ular man with our people when en-
gagged in that work.
We haven't time to give many de-
tails, but Mr.. Rich says that he will
be in Decorah next Wednesday,
ready for business, and looking for
men, and expects to start work at
once, and push it forward to COM
pletion as rapidly as possible. The
dam will be built about one hundred
| feet below the site of the first dam
constructed, with the power house
on the east bank. 1t will make a
second beautiful lake, and will back
the water at least to the Drake farm,
about four miles east of the city. The
structure will be very similar to the
present one ten miles down the
river. 1t will be known as the
upper dam and the one now IN
use as the "lower" dam.

Burr Oak Road Improved.

We are always mighty glad to
a good piece of road
work, and we are glad to note that
some good work has been done in
this township on the Burr Oak road
recently, under the direction of Jos.
Baker. For some time this road has
been in very bad condition, but it
is now greatly improved. In Burr
Oak and Canoe townships also some
splendid work has been done.
Work on the sand road at Free
port in charge of A. T. Holton and
the road between there and Decorah
under direction of the Decorah Com
mercial Club, for which money was
raised in Decorah and from the
farmers in Glenwood, ceased a
month ago, on account of farmers
being so busy that it was impossible
to secure labor. 1t is expected
however, that it will be resumed in
a few days, and these roads put in
good condition. Thus far no work
has been done, except the establish
ing of the grade on the sand road
south of Freeport.

THE WORLD AT PEACE.
Peace Pact Providing for Arbitration
in Place of War Signed by
Great Powers.

Three of the worlds greatest ma
tions, with the United States as the
central figure and moving spirit join
ed hands last week in opening the
way to the coveted goal of states
men Of modern times-universa
peace. America and Great Britain
and America and France have signed
general arbitration treaties for the
peaceful settlement of all disputes
that may be locked in the mystery of
the future, even though they concern
the national honor or vital interests
Of the signatorieS, subjects invariab-
ly expected in existing arbitration
treaties. Jean Jules Jusserand, the
French ambassador to the United
States, now in Paris, the first diplo-
mat to accept President Tafts sug-
gestion that all quarrels between ma
tions could be arbitrated, signed the
Thursday afternoon. Six hours later
at the White House Secretary of
State Knox signed both the British
and French treaties and James
Bryce, the British ambassador, sign
ed the agreement with Great Britain.
President Taft witnessed the signing
ceremonies.
The general features of the new
treaties are:
All differences international JUS
ticiable shall be submitted to The
Hague unless by special agreement
some other tribunal is created or
selected.
Differences that either country
thinks are not justiciable shall be
referred to a commission of inquiry
composed of nationals Of the two
governments, empowered to make
recommendation for their settle
ment. Should the commission decide
that the dispute should be arbitrat-
ed, such decision will be binding.
Before arbitration is resorted to,
even in cases where both countries
agree that the difference is suscepti-
bic of arbitration, the commission of
inquiry shall investigate the dispute
with view of recommending a set
.ler7a.t without arbitration.
The commission, at the request OF
either government, will delay its
findings one year to give an oppor-
tunity for diplomatic settlement.
The senate will ratify the terms
of submission of each dispute to arbi-
tration.
The conventions grew directly out
of President Taft's speech in Wash
ington December 18th last, before
the American Society for the Judicial
Settlement of International Disputes,
in which he said:
IF now we can negotiate and put
through positive agreement with
some great nation to abide the ad
judication of an international arbi-
tration in every issue which cannot
be settled by negotiation, no matter
what it involves, whether honor, ter
ritory or money, we shall have made
long step forward by demonstrat-
ing that it is possible for two ma
tions to at least establish, as between
them, the same system of due pro-
cess of law that exists between indi-
viduals under a government"
