 along most of the streams, especially
 through the uplands. These are not
 suited to agriculture in their present
 condition, but can be drained and con- verted into good land for corn, grass and some special crops. Areas of meadow occur in all parts of the county.

Old Postal Seryice-Mrs. Tiesler
 Badly Burned When Waist Catches
 Flre-12 Degrees Tuesday, Morning.

In connection with the parcels pot, local people are calling to mind post eff1ce conditions of years ago. Sixty and seventy years ago 25 cents was charged for 8 letter outside the 300 mile limit and 10 cents inside that hm- it Neighbors always took advantage of anyone's travelling to distant place to send letters. In 1863 1t cost 24 cents to send half ounce letter to France, and 10 cents for half ounce letter to California. Letters for different towns were tied up and billed as there were no railway postofices. In 1864 the money order system was established
 POstmasters could send their private letters without postage by frandns them, that is writing the postmaster s name in the right hand upper corner.

WAS KNOWN AS
 toWA's "WAR GOVERNOR"
The Late William Larrabee, Native of Ledyard, This State, Had Stormy Career as Executive Radical. on Pro- hibitioir1' Enforcement and Railroad Legislation.


 William Eatrabee, governbr of Iowa from 1885 to 1889. d son of Connecti- cut, where he was born in the town of Ledyard, was known in the state of his adoption as the war governor
 Of him since his death last Saturday the Des Moines Capital says:
 The governor had been unconscious for five days and his entire family, which was at his bedside when death came, had been expecting his death for several days. Until he became un- conscious, his mind remained clear, al- though, he showed gradual wasting away of physical strength. He had been confined to his room almost con- tinuously since last June.
 Since election day, when he was car ried to the polls on a cot that he might fulfill deep-seated ambition to vote again. he had failed rapidly. He was 80 years old.
 In 1887 he was nominated by the republicans of Fayette county for state senator and elected. He remain ed in the senate for IS years by suc- cessive re-elections, serving the long est continuously of any member of the Iowa legislature since the admission of the state. He was an able practical legislator and acquired by long ser vice an intimate knowledge of public affairs, giving him great influence in shaping the laws and general state , policy During most of this period he was chairman of the committee Of ways and means.
 Governor Larrabee's career was stormy. It covered the fight for pro- | hibition in this state and the enforce ment of the prohibitory law. He be- came radical on the subject and was relentless in the enforcement of the law.
 At. the beginning of his second term ] as governor he became extremely rad l ical in regard to the control of rail road corporations. He made radical recommendations to the 22d general assembly and in cooperation with the leaders in the legislature of that time he made all the laws in control of the railroads that now exist, excepting the | two-cent fare and the anti-pass laws which acts came under Governor Cum mins' administration. Governor Lar rabee gained the undying hatred of the l liquor and railroad interests. He was | indicted for libeling convict and was tried in the Polk county district court and found not guilty. The trial at 1 tracted wide attention because the complaining witness was a convict and | the governor Of Iowa the de1endant Among the membership of the jur! was one colored man.
 Governor. Larrabee was understood to be one of the wealthy men of tn, state. He made his money in banking and the purchase of lands when the! were low in price. Two of his son! will be members of the coming genera assembly of Iowa. One of his daugh ters married Victor Deliver, brothe of the late Senator Deliver. Victo Deliver is now dead.

Back from Hunting Trip.

A party of four who were on
 weeks hunting trip last week have re- turned, bringing home plenty of game. The party consisted of Albert Baker, Frank Van Dyne, William Leonard and Frank J. Murtha- One of the remark able incidents of the hunt was that experienced by Albert Baker last Sat urday. He noticed a birds nest in a nearby tree and out of curiosity had gone up to the tree to see what kind of a nest it was and was shaking the tree, when he looked down on the ground, and there right in front of him was a large rabbit sitting up and look ing at him. MT. Baker stood as still as possible, so as not to frighten the rabbit, and at a favorable moment reached down suddenly and seized 1t. This is the first time on record in this section of the county that anyone has been known to catch rabbit with his hands. The hunters wound up the successful hunt by entertaining a num- Der of their friends at a game supper.
