Unable to Find Home.

Postville is not to have a cigar
factory after all. M. l.. Thayer, OF
Cresco, who came here Monday for
the purpose of opening factory was
unable to find home for his family
and per consequence shipped his
goods from here to Mason City with
out unloading. Instances of this kind
should make it potent to the bust
ness mems association that Postville

must have homes.-Review.

Yeggmen Thursday night blew up
the safe in the post Office at Win

open the safe, but neither the night
Waterman nor the citizens heard the
noise of the explosion. The yegg-

A BATHING TRUST AT CONeY
Prices Were Boosted at the Resort
During the Hot Spell.

The tendency TO combine in re-
straint of trade and to the public
detriment manifested itself at Coney
Island during the recent hot spell In
the form of a bathing trust, which
extorted from visitors three and four
times the regular charge for the priv
ilege of cooling themselves in the
ocean.
In many respects Coney Island has
improved since the Nortons Point
age Of the three thimbles and the
little pea and the more recent period
of McKane's czardom. The old shan
ties have been replaced by well equip
ped lighthouses, and 1t is no longer
difficult to distinguish between the
towel and the bathing suit. A great
deal of capital has been put into
costly places of amusement; more
than one excellent restaurant now
flourishes where once nearly all the
food was badly cooked and of pool
quality. and consequently the season
is almost twice as long as it was
twenty-five years ago.
But the old Coney Island habit OF
Fleeing the public whenever oppor'
tunity offered still survives. A lunt
tester trust or a phrenologists unlor
would not be a serious disaster, be
cause we can get along very wei
without testing our lungs or having
our heads examined. but the oceai
is something in which the pubii'
should have some rights.-New Yorl

HOBO PLAYS VANDAL
IN CAMP OF MINER
Wanderer Passes Through Camp but
Does Not Depart Provisionless.

Passing hurriedly through the region
Of the upper Humbug creek last week,
a hobo miner named Kimball, it is al
legged, dropped in on John Simpsons
mining camp to make an informal call.
Not finding John at home. the hobo
rounded up two burros loaded with
blankets. clothing. provisions, cooking
utensils. and other articles too numer-
Gus 10 mention, after which he pro
ceeded to leave the country.
Mr.. Simpson was at work in his
mines nearby, and reaching his camp
in the evening was startled at the scene
OF devastation and famine before him,
when only a few hours earlier the camp
had been n scene Of plenty. The pic
ture was n trying one in view Of the
fact that he had nothing to eat after
a hard days work, and ii was several
miles To his nearest neighbOr. The next
day he started out TO intercept the
thief. but was unsuccessful in cutting
the trail. Kimball took the old TiptOp
route and was heading for the north.
After the second day Simpson got on
the trail, and in the evening of the
third day located his man in camp in
Black canyon. the discovery taking
place through the two burros which
We're found grazing. The return was
then undertaken to Simpsons camp,
with KimbaH in custody. Telephone
communication with Sheriff Smith Of
this city was established from the Pa
cifir mining camp. when KimbaU cum
ningly outwitted his captor and made a
hasty exit, taking to the ravines. An
alarm was given, and for two days the
country was secured but without re-
suit. several miners taking part in the
search. The supposition is that had he
been captured there would have been
an interesting story to tell.

WHEN A KING is ILL.

And there is this curious psycholo-
gical fact to be remembered: A SER
ions illness or a death advertises the
doctor exactly as a hanging adVer-
tises the barrister who defended the

pie. a royal parsonage gets something
wrong with his throat, or has pain
in his inside. If a doctor effects
some trumpery cure with wet com
press or a peppermint lozenge no.
body takes the least notice of him.
But if he operates on the throat and
kills the patient. or extirprates an
internal organ and keeps the whole
nation palpitating for days whilst the
patient hovers in pain and fever be-
tween life and death, his fortune is
made. Every rich man who omits
to call him in when the same symp-
toms appear in his household is held
not to have done his utmost duty to
the patient The wonder is that
there is a king or queen left alive in

Silver Loving Cup. Were
IL Contestants.

The first bicycle race conducted
under the auspices of the Y. NJ c. A.
took place last night and proved an
event of great interest among the
young men of the city. 1t was over a
course nearly ten miles long and was
won by Scott Price in 80 minutes and
Is seconds.
large crowd of people assembled
at the Y. NJ G. A. to see the start
which was made at 6:39 o'clock last
evening There We're twelve contes-
tants and they were sent away in
two punches. AS they We're running
against time il was not necessary
that all should start together and the
narrOWness of the roads in some
places made it more desirable to scat
ter out the wheelmen a little.
The course was from the Y. NJ c.
a. building northwest over Grand
avenue to the Grand canal, thence
down the canal, to Central avenue.
thence south to the city and back
to the Y NJ. c. 4. II was called a
ten mile race though were it accurate
~ measured the course might fall
trifle short of that. but the time of
approximately three and a quarter
seconds per mile for approximately
ten miles is not a bad travelling pace
in any country.
The time was reported on the first
half dozen contestants who finished.
and to whom went all the glory of
the race The others were not all
slow but they were too far behind
to make their time interesting The
first two to finish had a close race.
there being only seconds between
them and indeed the first six all fin
ished within a period of five min
utes, so the race was no walk away
for anybody The time of the first
six was as follows:
Scott Price, 32:1j.
Harry Zeller, 32:3S.
VIII Jones, 1928.
Ed Thomas, 36:42.
Robert Friedel, 36:43.
Milton Campbell $3.50.
The others who participated in the
race are: Louis Hart, John Boiling.
Holmes Mann. George Soule. Harry
Westfall and Finley Westfall.
Secretary Davis of the Y NJ. c. a.
said last night that the race proved a
very satisfactory one to all concerned
and that bicycle racing will probably
be made an interesting feature
among the Y NJ G. A. boys. 1t is
the plan now to have a series of six
of these races, the winner of the ser
les to be presented with silver low
ing cup.

when the bag goes astray the official
assures you it is impossible, because
there is the receipt, SO YOU go to bed
and get up and dress in your bit Of
paper Our method is insular, and on
the face of il chaotic. We throw our
luggage to the mercy of some I'M
known porter. At the end of the jour
nev we find a sort Of lucky tub of
portable property piled on the plat
form, and we plunge about and pick
out what we want. You know the
scene! A hundred people who have
only TO say That's mine to strange
porter in order TO get it. Thus badly
stated the system looks like a chaos
and the invitation to a general scram-

it works out well. For everyone, from

QUEER CHANGE IN,LAw.
Belief That Inheritance Tax Act Was
 Altered by Mistake.

New Haven, Nov. 22-Local lawyers have discovered what appears to be a mistake in the amendment which was passed at the last Legislature to the inheritance tax law which they expect will cause lot of trouble during the as passed in 1909 excepted from this 5 per cent inheritance tax all estates of less than $10,O00, which were devised to the wife, husband, son, daughter or parents of the deceased.
 The amendment was made to bring brothers and sisters and their wives within this exception and in doing this in some way the words husband and wife, were left out, according to the official copies sent out by Matthew H. Rogers, Secretary of State.
 This means that if asman or woman dies after. this amendment goes into effect and leaves an estate of less than s10,000 to their wife or husband the regu'a five per cent. Inheritance tax will be taken out.
 These estates were exempted in the first act because of the hardship to the recipients who usually cannot af- any one outside of the immediate fam fly the tax is charged anyway. The new act exempts all near relatives on an estate under $1O,000 except the hus- band or wife. &
 It is believed by local lawyers that this was not meant by those who amended the law, the idea being on y to extend the exemption further than before.
 There is of course a possibility that it is a mistake in the copies of the acts sent out hy the Secretary of State but this is not believed to be very probable.
