were Dr.. Jones, Tom Nicholson, John

returned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death by bleeding, the
wound being selfinfiicted one, while
mentally deranged. 1t was the desire
on the part Of the family that an in
quest be not held, because it was be-
lieyed that his death was accounted
for by natural causes. But the family
yielded to the opportunities of friends
and the inquest was held. This weeks

NAVAL DESERTERS.
They Face Fine, Imprisonment and
Loss of CITIZENSHIP


Every time fleet Of naval vessels
visits port there are sure to be i mum.
Der of desertions These come about
from various causes, and among the
deserters is always large percentage
of recruits that come from inland
states. 70 these young men the con-
finement of ship aud daily drills
soon become irksome. This. added
to seasickness. to which they are al
most invariably subject. produces an
irresistible desire to desert. In 9TH
err instances assertions come about
through the men becoming intoxicated
and practically irresponsible while on
shore leave. In the meantime their
vessel may sail. These men are not at
first termed deserters, but are set
down as stragglers. If, however. after
period Of ten days nothing is heard
from them by the ships officers they
are then considered deserters.
At the end of the ten day limit their
allotment is stopped. the bureau of
navigation Is notified, and. in con-
formity to an act of congress. their
effects are sold before the mast. The
amount realized is placed to their ac-
count and the latter transferred to the
deserters roll. At the end OF six
months. if they still have not been
heard from. their wages are declared
forfeited to the United States. The
penalty for desertion is fine and i'm
prisonment as we'll as loss Of citizen
ship.
The reward for the recovery OF a
deserter may not exceed $40. and for
straggler the limit it $40. This sum.
together with any expenses incurred
by the person capturing and delivering
a deserter or straggler, when it is paid
by the government is charged against
the account Of the man. II the enlist
ed man finds he has been left ashore
and if he really had no intention OF
deserving he may report to the nearest
naval station or if in foreign country

this is done he is Immediately TAX

The question that every republican
should ask Of any congressional can
didate in this or any other district in
Iowa is whether he is going to stand
for the time honored and prosperity
producing protective tariff-the policy
that has made this nation rich and
prOsperOus-or whether he favors
some high-bred idea that leads the
people away after strange gods and
leaves them to feed on the husks rath-
err than the grain within. Protection
may not be popular today but it will
be in the near future. History dem
onstrates that this nation has never
prospered under any other kind of a
tariff. Let us hold fast to that which
has proven good and not 60 after
something that has always brought
distress and hard times. 1t is certain
ly time for every true republican to
Eally around the policy that has
brought credit to the republican party
and great prosperity to the nation.
1t is because of it's adherence to this
policy that has gotten the Reporter
the epithet of being standpatter. 1t
never has been nor never will be in
favor of corporate control or any 9TH
err control save by the people.-Palo
Alto Reporter.

SWITCHED on SUFFRAGE.
Bill Changed His Opinion After . Tslk
With His Wife.

WIN tbs "r0
Old Bill Shiftless wandered in tho
other day to talk q little politics, says
the Osborne Qlan) Farmer. Bill IN
some what interested in the woman SUI
frage movement. He il for it good and
strong. Bill says: NY wife has as
huch right to vote as l have. She does
half the work and owns half of every
thing and should have as much say as
have. OF course the old woman
would also vote as l told her to. but
that makes no difference. 1t would
give me double power. and the Lord
knows US poor people have little
enough to say now about the way
things are run. Then, besides, want
the old lady to have all the pleasure
she can get out Of this world"
That night old Bill was talking the
question over with his wife She said
she would like to get a chance to vote
the distiIlerieS of the face of the earth.
Bill f1ared up in minute.
That's Just the way with the wom-
en-! yelled Bill. "Give them half
chance and they would ruin every
thing. Look at the poor people around
here who can't afford a doctor or to
buy medicine. If they can keep a lit
tie liquor in the house it saves many
a sick spell. Women have all they can
do to look after things around the
house without chasing or and voting"
Then old Bill chased himself to bed
and left Mrs. Shiftless to bring in
bucket Of coal aud get kindling for the
morning.

FEARED A TRAP.
A Bit Of Japanese Strategy That De-
ceived tho Enemy.

Ceiveo the enemy.
Many a man has failed to guess an
easy riddle because the simple solution
looked like a trap to him. Here is an
instance in which this trait OF human
nature was ceverly played upon by
japanese nObleman.
The old lord had been forced to fee
with only 300 men before an enemy
with 10000 and barely had time to
reach his castle ahead of his foes.
There were no re-enforcements near at
hand, and he knew that if an attempt
was made to storm his defenses he
and his men would be dead before help
could come.
The enemy's forces advanced rapid
~. and scouts rode up near the castle
to reconnoiter. TO their amazenent,
they found the gates. doors and win
dows open and all the appearance Of
a holiday celebration. They rode hasti-
~ back to inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music in the castle.
The powerful enemy was too wise
man to put his head into any such trap
as that. The defenders Of the castle
must have some plan to slaughter his
forces by wholesale or they would
never invite him in that way. He
drew back to safe distance and en-
camped to await developments.
Soon the achievements for the cas-
tie came up behind. attacked him sud
denly and defeated him, while the gar
rison, which had risked all on its
stratagem, charged him on the other
side

Horse Talk.

Who does the feeding when the
team comes in from hard days
work or long drive?
The problem of feeding and care is
too important to leave to average
hired labor.
The question of watering is most
important, and should never be left
to ignorance or chance.
The owner should know how and
when each horse is fed.
A horse that is thirsty all night will
lose in condition, as compared with
one watered frequently and the last
thing at night.
Irregularity in time of feeding and
quantity will result in indigestion.
A little shelled corn mixed in with
the ground feed you give your horses
will help to keep them from swallow
ing their food too fast.
Don't put handful of salt in the
feed box. Put a brick or lump of rock
salt in convenient place where the
horse may help himself to it when
he wants it.
Clean stables and good floors are a
necessity to sound feet and legs.
A fast walking horse will do a third
more work in a day than a slow one.
This has been proved by actual test.
Colts should be early trained to walk
fast, for horse so educated is worth
. great deal more on the farm and in
the market than an animal that
sbambles along like an OK.
