The attention OF the subsidy shrickers Is re-
s. ecuuiy directed to the fact that the steamers
which the hamburg American Company viii oper-
ate on the new passenger and freight line to be
estab lished between Philadelphia and the West
Indies will be all and altogether unsubsdized
Possibly, IF American shipping interests were al
lowed. as are those of Germany, to buy bottoms
for the foreign trade wherever thew can be Sc
cured to the best advantage and sail them under
the American haP they, too, would be able to
handle our ocean-borne commerce at n legitimate

trying. The persstency with which the subsidy
shriekers oppose any and every effort so to re-
wise our senseless navigation laws as 10 allow
American owned vessels, matter where built or
purchn sed to en"age In the foreign trade under
the American flag, is OF itself convincing proof
of the insincerity of their professions Possibly

PIERCE ADVISES
COUNTY ATTORNEY
MarshalItown Man Wants Lee County
official and Others In State
to Get After
Assessors.
MUST DO FULL DUTY
Let No Man With Property Escape,
Says Pierce-Would Make Tax
Ferret Out Of the
Attorneys.
MUST DO FULL DUTY

Demanding that the county attor-
neys of the state get after every as
SCISSOR in their respective counties,
hale him into court and make him
show that he is guilty of wilful neg
lect of duty, Mr.. Frank G. Pierce of
Mrashalltown has written a
letter to County Attorney Craig and
to every other county attorney in the
state. According to Mr.. Pierce there
is no assessor that doeth good, no, not
one. 1t is a fearful state of mind for
man to be in But Mr.. Pierce can't
help it. He has written four pages
of printed matter and sent it to every
county attorney. He would have all
the assessors and sub-assesscrs hailed
UP forthwith and questioned regarding
their manner Of doing business.
He quotes the law relating to the
assessments of real and personal
property at its full value and tells
them that If they look at the assess
ment rolls of any assessor in the
county they will find that he has been
guilty of "wilful neglect of duty and
"mal-administratien in Office
Everyone making false return to
the assessor or taking or signing the
oath required on his assessment roll
is guilty of prejury and may be i'm
prisoned in the penitentiary not more
than ten years. says Mr.. Pierce.
Every farmer who swears his land
is worth only $40 or $50 an acre, when
he knows it is at least worth $500. is
guilty of perjury under the law. Every
citizen who signs an affidavit that he
has no moneys and credits and after
wards the tax ferret discovers credits
belonging to him and the person pays
taxes on such credits, is guilty of per-
jury under the law
If the assessor is for township, all
YOU need to do is to subpoena him
with his assessment returns, or sub
poena the county auditor and treas
! urer with tho assessment rolls in
their offices and find the value the as
SCISSORS have placed on farms, lands
and live stock. Instead of the actual
value they have assessed at one-half
or less. The value of the land can be
shown by hundreds of your citizens
and by the actual sales in your coun-
ty. II
II a town or city assessor, you can
find where stocks of goods are assess
ed at one-half their value, and many
other equally wilful violations of law
on the part of the assessor.

SCATTERED
ON THE WATERS
Missouri Farmer Wanted His Body
Burned and so Dis
posed Of.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. LIN COM
pliance with the dying wishes of Joel
Braumiller, the wealthy bachelor who
died last week at his farm near Mary
Vile, Mo, his ashes were consigned
to the winds from the middle of Eads
bridge. He was So years old.
The peculiar disposal of Mr.. Brau-
miller's remains was in obedience to
plans made by him seven years ago.
While in ST. Louis to view the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition he
paid visit to the Missouri Crema-
tory, near the insane asylum, and
when he returned home he declared
he would direct that his body be Gre
mated when he died.
Accordingly, when he drew UP his
will last week, after -aving sold his
farm for $4,000, one paragraph stip-
ulated what should be done with his
body. 1t said:
81 direct that after my death my
body be shipped to ST. Louis, Mo-,
and there cremated and my ashes
strewn from the south side of the
Eads bridge over the river"
S. II. Kemp, cashier of the Mary
vile National bank, and the dead
mans most intimate friend, was
named as executor OF the will. which
distributes over $4,000
The body, accompanied by Mr..
Kemp, arrived in st. Louis Sunday
morning, and was Immediately taken
to the undertaking establishment oil
the c. B. Lupton company, No. 4449
Olive street From there it went to
the crematory.
Relatives who met the body and
the executor in ST. Louis, were a
brother, Joseph Braumiller, No. 40
Cheshire street, Delaware, Ohio; a
sister, Mrs. q. Wohlheater. No. 236
Lake street, Delaware; niece, Mrs
John Evans, and nephew by mar
riage, w. F. Goodman, both of Della
ware.
AT 4:30 o'clock the funeral party
called at the crematory for tho ashes,
and then drove to the Eads bridge.
Leaving their carriages, they walked
to the center span, the undertaken car
rying the urn, which was wrapped in
a newspaper.
Hating at the south side of the
bridge. the wrapping was removed
from the urn, which was the ordinary
earthenware type.
The wind, whirling about the piers
and the buttresses of the great bridge
caught up the ashes and flung them
in every direction. When the urn was
empty, 1t. too, was dropped down into
the river.
There was no service nor ceremony
of any kind, either at the bridge nor
earlier in the day.
The relatives departed last night for
their homes, while Mr.. Kemp return.
