Ruling on Saloon Question.

Maquoketa, Iowa, Dec. 14.-The
city council at special meeting last
night took back everything which it
did at the regular meeting last week
when it decided by close vote of
four to three to award the saloon Ii
censes for the coming year to the
three highest bidders. The conster-
nation of the present saloon keepers
was extreme and suspicion at once
arose that a plot was being Matched.
Public opinion was decidedly with
the present licenses and after a week
for second though special session
was called and by unanimous vote
the license fee was raised from $1,000
TO $500 a year and the men now
operating given first chance. 1t is
thought that all three will pay over
the money and continue to run. This
will give Maquoketa a net fund from
liquor privilege of $4,000, the re-
naming 5000 going to the county un-
der the provisions Of the mulct law.

STATE AID FOR CHARLES CITY
State horticultural Society Takes
Steps to Get Attention of
Legislature.

Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 16.-The
State Horticultural society took steps
to have brought to the attention of
the legislature the imperative need
of some definite state aid for the
great work being carried on in eX-
perimental fruit growing at Charles
City by Charles G.. Patten. This is
declared to be the most valuable ex-
pertinent station in this section of the
country and it is just arriving at the
period when its great worth will be
shown. Mr.. Patten himself rather
deprecated any move to interest the
state in the work, for he is jealous
of his success, but he is old and finds
it difficult to keep up the work.
In report on his work Mr. Patten
declared to the society that the grow
ing season of 1912 has been one of
the most perfect that ever blessed
northeastern Iowa. He told briefly
of the progress made in securing new
varieties. He has over a hundred
seeding apple trees from four to ten
years old, and they produce fruit gen.
orally of large size and superior quail
ity. Another year he expects to show
a cross of the Wealthy apple, for in
stance, that is large and more uni
form in size than the Wealthy. He
has cut out and killed this year over
1000 apple tree seedlings found to
be worthless. He has seventy-five
pear trees four years old that endur-
ed the winter well. AS for plums
there was an avalanche of them this
year, and he declared his belief that
if all the new ones introduced the
past fifteen or twenty years were lost
their places could be Immediately
supplied with even better ones. He
has number of cross bred walnut
and he has had great success devel-
oping fruit from the wild crabs
The report of Mr.. Patten on his
work this year was received with
much enthusiasm by the society. He
is developing an entire new line of
fruits for the Mississippi valley.

YOUNG MEN IN GREAT TROUBLE
District Court of AnamOsa to Try
Young Men on HeniOus
Crime.

Anamosa, Iowa, Dec. 13.-The past
two days of the district court has
been devoted to the trial Of the case
of the State OF Iowa VS.. Otto Vocho-
ski and Leon Carroll, two young men
of Oxford Junction, who if guilty as
charged, are guilty of a most hen
ious crime. 1t is charged by young
lady named Eliza Leslie that she was
invited by young Carroll to take a
buggy ride and at a lonely spot on the
road they were met by young Vocho-
ski and that he scrambled into the
buggy on the preteXt of fighting. She
also AYERS that she was assaulted by
Vochoski while Carroll assisted in
holding her and then by Carroll
while she was held by Vochoski. The
girl was given most severe cross
examination by the defendants at
torneys, but her story was not shaken
except as to some minor details of
the assault. 1t is the charge that the
assault took place in one seated
buggy and this buggy was hauled up
to the steps and into the court room
to be used as evidence. At noon to-
day young Carroll is on the stand de-
nying his guilt. He admits of being
in the buggy with the girl, but denies
the assault In all thirty witnesses,
mostly character witnesses, have been
subpoenaed on the case. Great care
was taken in the selection of the jury,
taking all of the day Monday and
part of Tuesday to secure the proper
men to try the case. The case is at
tracing more attention than any
criminal case tried in Jones county
since the famous rape case of five
years ago, which resulted in three
men from Monticello being sent to the
penitentiary for life for an assault up
on a deaf and dumb girl. If the de-
PENDANTS in the case now on trial are
found guilty it will mean life SEN
tence under the indeterminate SEN
tence law.

Wednesday.

Iowa City, Dec. 16.-Thomas Ad-
ans of Kalona, one of eastern Iowa s
foremost thoroughbred cattle breed
ers, was almost instantly killed and

NOTABLE OPERATION RECORD.
Norfolk City Clerk Will Have Four
Ieenth Operation at
Rochester.

Norfolk, Neb. Dec. 7.-Having sue
cessfully withstood thirteen serious
surgical operations, City Clerk Ed.
Harter of Norfolk had the utmost
confidence that he would successful
ly pull thru the fourteenth, stom-
ach operation, which was in prospect
when he left here a few days ago for
a hospital at Rochester, Mimi. He had
been suffering for many weeks and
was finally compelled to return to the
hospital.
Following is a list of the opera
lions which Mr.. Harter had already
undergone:
Leg amputated twenty years ago
when accidentally shot by a friend.
Eight subsequent operations, in
Guiding several further amputations
of the leg.
One operation for hernia.
Appendix removed.
Lower part of stomach removed.
MIR. Harter has been operated up
on by famous surgeons, including DR..
Murphy, Chicago; the late DR.. Sem,
and the Mayos at Rochester. The
Mayos performed the last operation,
removing the lower part of the
stomach, and to them he has re-
turned for his fourteenth.
Thru all his suffering Harter is
genial, and despite the fact that he
has had more suffering than a hun
dred ordinary men, he is always
cheerful.
Harter was formerly a train dis
patcher, having worked for some
years at Naperville, Ill. He was born
in Norfolk and the operations started
when he was accidentally shot at
close range.

Killed After Paying Mortgage.

Iowa City, Dec. 16.-Ten minutes
before he was killed by a Rock Is
land passenger train at Tifiin, Har-
vey Bishop had gone into the Titfin
Savings bank and paid off a $4,000
mortgage on his home. The cancel
led mortgage was found in his pocket
when he was picked up.
Mr.. Bishop left the bank on his
way south of town to husk corn. He
angled across lots, and passed back
of the Rock Island fast mail, which
was on siding and stepped directly
in front of the Rock Mountain linn
tied, which struck him, carried him
thirty feet, and dropped him by the
roadside, fearfully mangled.

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
Those of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation of
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women of
the middle class of a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from Companion editorial:
"They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made 1t easier for her by
doing likewise"
