UNION COUNTY
IS PROSPEROUS
ONLY INSTRUMENTS FILED WITH
COUNTY RECORDER WERE
MORTGAGE RELEASES.

Creston, Oct. 14.-An inspection OF
the record books of County Recorder
Clara Braunberger will prove that the
hard times that the calamity hoWlers
are claiming are now being felt IN this
country are not q fact 80 far as Cres-
ton and Unicn county are concerned,
and no doubt what Is true here is true
IN the balance of the state and per.
laps throughout the entire nation.
Duding the past week or two, near
ly all OF the instruments filed for re-
cord have been releases OF mortgages
on farm and city property, clearly
proving that the laborer, the farmer
and the business man are doing pref
.ty we'll and are able to lay up little
to pay off the encumbrance which
they had placed over their little home,
farm, or business. Wednesday and
Thursday the only instruments filed
for record were releases, three being
fled each day. and the aggregate
amount of money for which the mort
cages had teen given and for which
the releases placed en- Ale were given
was $3.50. If the record should
be kept up for month of twenty-six
working days, the amount released
would be $l03,740. The number OF
releases filed each day for some little
time past has been almost as great as
has been the number filed in the last
couple OF days, and there can. be no
question about the prosperity of the
people Of Creston and Union county.

Disease Drives Hoo Crazy.

Keokuk, Oct, IA peculiar dis
ease that is reported to drive hogs
crazy and then topple them over dead
is raging among the swine in the vicin-
ity Of lagrange, Mo-. twenty-five miles
south Of Keokuk. Several of the
farmers are heavy losers already, and
the ravages show no signs Of decreas-
ing. Just what the disease is, is not
known, although it is supposed to be
cholera which Is epidemic In other
portions of Missouri. Vaccinations,
which are supposed to render hog
immune from this disease, however,
are apparently OF little avail in this
case, the veterinarys surgeon saying
only about half OF the hogs vaccinated
are rendered immune from the disease.

ANNEXATION MOVEMENT.

To the great surprise and regret OF =
majority OF the people OF this city II
was noised about this morning tina: thu
proposition to enlarge the corporate
limits of this city would meet with OPP
position when it shall have been sub
mitted to the City Council tonight. l.
is not known upon what grounds TN
action will be taken, but the members
of the body who may oppose the pr"
iect will doubtless give their reaso">
tonight. Alexandria has been hanp-
cred from time inmemorial. Their
was opposition n lS46 TO the city
being retroceded to the state OF VlrglnE
some preferring that Alexandria lost
its identity, aud ever and anon fever
breaks out among a certain class who,
for reasons best known to themselves.
want the city to he absorbed by Wash
ineton, or become the tail of the capt.
tai kite. There are many reasons why
Alexandria should absorb the territory
contiguous to her. These reasons llav'
recently beon set forth 10 the Gazette
There was time when Alexandria was
the market town ofthis entire Congress
s;onal district and when the Alexan-
d,ia Gazette was the official organ u
the surrounding counties. George
Washington when in the flesh was al.
earnest friend of the town and locke d
upon Alexandria as the capital CT tbi
portion OF eastern Virginia. he
was always ready to enter into
any movement for its welfare.
Were he alive today there is reason to
believe that be would urge that tn.
southern limits of the city should TAKE
in Mount Vernon. The time has ar
rived when Alexandria should claln
what belongs to her. The ciIyis not
contemplating an illegal land grab, bu'
is simply seeking her own-tbc out
living districts which are virtually paris
OF the city, or which have had the r
origin in the outgrowth of the city
proper. The matter will come before
a Judge of the commonwealth OF Ffr-
ginia, and should the case be decided
upon lines followed in where other
cities have made similar claims, the
OUTCOME will be favorable to Aiexan'
dria's aims.

BEATTIE'S LAST HOPE.

The action of the Court OF Appeals
in affirming that OF the lower court in
the Beattie case did not surprise most
people who had been close readers OF
this latest wife murder in the Old Do
lninion. This ill-starred young man
has now but one hope supon which to
base his dreams OF escaping death. and
that is that G overnor Mann may be.
come interested in his case. Those
who seem to be in positions to know
saw here is not the slightest reason to
suppose his rxcelleucy will interfere in
the case now that the finding OF The
lower court has been affirmed by tho
highest tribunal in the state. There
are now but j few days between Beatti'
and the electric chair, and While draw
ing near the shadow OF that terrible IN
