Fort Dodge, Ia, Feb. CIV. r.
Honeywell, a brick mason, is dying
by inches at the home of his father
in-law, w. r. Law, 535 South Tween
ty-second street, as the result of a
dose OF chloride of zinc taken Sat
urday night at 600 O'Clock, with
suicidal intent. The family physi-
clan declares there is no hope for
him, as he lies writhing in pain
Honeywell says he took two vials
of the poison and followed the dose
with a lot of indelible ink. 1t is
thought he is demented over family

EAGLES ARE FINED $500.
Plead Guilty to Violating the Liquor
Laws and Are Assessed
Accordingly.

Mason City, Ia, Mar 4.-Judge
Joseph j. Clark of the district court,
upon plea of guilty, fined the Eagle
lodge of this city $500 for violating
the liquor laws of the state. They
were indicted by the recent grand
jury, and as most of the liquor de-
PENDANTS have done, entered the plea
as given above. 1t is now quite
probable that the buiIoing rented by
them for lodge rooms will be assess
ed the $500 mulct tax which has al
ready been levied against some TWEEN
ty pieces of property here and at
Clear Lake.

200 Dutch Farmers Bound for low

Two hundred Dutch farmers and
their families are in New York en-
route to Iowa, where they have pur-
chased a large tract for farming pur-
poses. They arrived on the liner
Noordam from Rotterdam. All are
in possession of ample funds and the
men, women and children are splen-
did specimens of the sturdy Freis-
land yeoman farmers, who have been
the backbone of Holland in times of
trouble. Heavy taxation and high
rent were the causes of their emil
grafton from Freisland.

,Iore Than Amusement

If Judge Tavenner on MS present

danger of him doing. although they
surely need defense in the troubles

er, the taxpayers have no means OF
knowing where or how these large adj
preparations were expended. Further
than that, the streets and sidewalks are
in worse condition than they were when
the appropriations were less than two
thirds what they were last year. The
sidewalks in particular are in bad shape,
many of them out of place and SO IN
clined to make it dangerous to walk en-
them when slippery; and they have been
in this condition year after year. After
the big snow storm Jan. 9Th, city Of
fetal was reported in daily newspaper
as saying that it would cost the city
1900. Perhaps it might, had any at
tempt been made to ak out the roads,
but nothing was done beyond hauling the
roller with eight or ten pairs of horses
through few of the city streets. The
towns broke out the roads as usual, and
people coming in from the country said
they could tell when they were in Bel
fast by the condition of the roads. Do
the citizens of Belfast want these con-
ditions continued? Do the taxpayers
want their money expended on spite
bitches? If not, they can SO express
themselves at the coming city election.

The battle cry of the Republican party
in 1912 is protection to capital and labor
On this the party can win. Without pro-
lection to our great industries, with all
their millions of workers, without pro-
lection to the farmers, who constitute
the largest working class in the country,
without protection to capital seeking in
vestment, we shall revert once more to
the souphouse era of the free-trade
times of 1898. -Leslie's Weekly.
That is the key note of the editorial
policy of Leslies. 1t is striving to coun-
teract the poison instilled into the body
polite by the many undertaking publi-
cations, and it is one of the most encour-
aging signs of the times that the public
are becoming awakened to the evils they
have wrought and are repudiating their
teachings. The result of their efforts
has been to impair confidence, to para
lyze business and to raise prices and thus
add to the cost of living. The Republi-
can policy stands for prosperity, the
full dinner pail and the handy bank
book" The undertaking trust-busting
policy leads to the souphouse and the
poorhouse.
