gers from the posses guarding the

and dressed his wounds on Saturday.

that his brothers probably would fight

About 100000 worth of his property

than any other state in the union, &C.
cording to the horse and mule regis
tration with Secretary Corey of the
state fair for this year. This regis.
tration is made under the provisions
of a law passed last winter requir-
ing that all stations and jacks be
registered with the secretary of the
agricultural department not later
than April LIST Of each year.
The figures compiled by Secretary
Corey show that S5.5 per cent of the
stations in Iowa which have thus far
been registered under the law are
pure bred and have been officially
registered in books recognized by
the department. Secretary Corey has
issued 1852 certificates for horses
and Of this number 1.473 are shown
to be pure bred and have registered
pedigrees.
In Illinois the percentage of pure
bred stock is 56.7: in Wisconsin it is

Des Moines.-Gcvernor Carroll will
not designate a good roads week this
year for the universal dragging OF the
high ways of the state. In state
ment issued this week he explains
his reasons for not following the pro
gram which had been announced.
The statement is as follows:
ITO the Good Roads Organizations
and Citizens of Iowa: 1t had been my
purpose to designate good ROADS
week for Iowa during which time the
roads of the entire state might be
dragged and otherwise put into the
best possible condition following the
long continued covering of snow.
by reason OF the greater amount
of snow in some parts than in 9TH
ers and also from the fact that there
is but little frost in some localities
while in others the ground is frozen,
to a depth of three or more feet,
1t is quite apparent that the roads
in various parts of the state will not
come into condition for dragging and
other work at the same time.
81 therefore suggest and request
that the organizations looking to the
betterment of our highways, the
county officials charged with super
vision of the roads of the state and
the citizens in general take advant.

tive counties and communities when
it is practicable 10 work the roads
