Of Lord Kitchener's triumphant ad-

the mahdi.
Just across the Nile on the morning
Of Sept. 2. 1898, the British and Egyp-
tian allied forces under Sirdar Kitch-
n met the followers Of the mahdi
under the khalifa. Kitchener had
about $4,000 men, and there were some
$4,000 dervishes, the finest fighting ma
lives Of Africa. In the battle, which
lasted hardly four hours, the machine
guns killed 1900 dervishes and
wounded 1900. The British casual
lies were f~orty-eight killed and 42S
wounded. Thus was "Chinese" Gordon
avenged, the power of the mahdi bro

commissioner, has issued a state.
ment warning the citizens of the
state against cooperating in the cree.

sons representing themselves to be
representatives of the state dairy and
food department.
Mr. Barney says more than fifteen
creameries have been built in Iowa
during the last year in localities
where there is not the business to
support a creamery, and that these
plants are now idle. He says these
promoters appear to be more interest
ed in building and equipping plants
to be sold to local stockholders at an
exorbitant price than they are in the
welfare of the dairy industry"

was memorable by being made the
formal reception rendered by the
church in honor of the recently arriv.
ed minister, Albert Cave, and wife,

the entire church membership was

Society of the church provided the
supper, which was in itself a most
enjoyable affair While the members
were gathering and during the supper
the Congregational church orchestra
furnished excellent music. Supper
was served at $3.50 o'clock and the
menu was varied and enjoyable. The
affair was one of the incest experien'
ced by the membership in years.

FOR WORKING ROADS
Governor Carroll Will Name Special
Improvement Week.

Governor Carroll announces that he
will name a special road improve
ment week for fixing up Iowa roads
This week will be set aside as soon
as the frost leaves the ground. The
purpose of the special road improve,
ment week is to have voluntary road
work done in every road district OF
Iowa.
Last year people living along the
River-to-River road set aside certain
hours of one day, when they all got
out and dragged the road. The plan
of Governor Carroll is to use the
same idea on every road in the state
and take a week at putting the Iowa
roads in first class condition.
The date for the road Improvement
week will not be set until it is ascer.
tanned when the winter finally breaks
up and the roads will be workable.

ASSESSOR TO GUESS
Which is "Moneyed Capital" and
"Moneys and Credits.

Marshalltown Times Republican
If the hundreds OF assessors who are
now going about from house to house
and from farm to farm in Iowa, where
the snow will permit, succeed in max
ing a satisfactory decision in every
case as to the difference between
money capital and moneys and
credits" so as to avoid lawsuits and
mandamuses, they will have done
better than the courts.
This is the first time that the as
SCISSORS have come up against the new
law as to the distinction between the
two classes of personal property. The
law was passed last year after the
work had been done. This year the
assessors, with no real estate assess
ment to bother, can take time to de-
eide the knotty legal problems in
volved
capital shall be assessed as bank
stock, and be taxed locally on the ba-
sis of 20 per cent of value; while
moneys and credits" bear fiat tax
of mills on the dollar, full value 1t
fellows that money capital would
have to be taxed at % mills to equal
the expense if classed as moneys
and credits" In any community,
therefore, where the consolidated tax
is over % mills the capitalist would
prefer to have his property classed as
"moneyed capital" if there is to be
any question about it,
The legislature did not undertake
to define "moneyed capital" the reas.
on being that the members were
afraid to do so for fear of running
afoul of some court with different no
tions. The result is that just now the
persons responsible are trying to find
out just what is this thing called
'moneyed capital" The nearest APP
preach to a clear definition found in
the Office of the attorney general, is
the following:
Money employed in the carrying
on of business, the object of which

business in which the stock in trade
from which profits are expected to
accrue, is money; either money it.
self. or negotiable securities readily
convertible into money, and having
an equitable market value; ready
money or capital invested in private
banking"
While this seems quite sufficient, it
is pointed out that certain persons,
especially those engaged in private
brokerage business, including more or
less of loaning and buying notes, etc,
will find it very hard to determine
whether their money is used as mon
eyed capital or merely as moneys
and credits" This is where the as
SCISSORS must rise superior to the
courts
Special Counsel Robbins of the at
torney generals office has sent out
the above quoted definition of mon
eyed capital" where inquiries have
been made as to what it means.

TALKING FARM SALES
This is the Season of the Year
When Activity Starts.

People in the country are now be.
ginning to talk farm sales. This is
the season of the year when the &C,
tivity in this class of realty starts to
develop. From now on there will be
much "dickering," and negotiations
will be closed later on, and about
March l the sales will appear on the
records in large volume.
Realty men, bankers and attorneys
all take part, as rule, in the sale Of
farm lands. The lawyers are called
upon for abstracts, the bankers some.
times for loans, and, while not all of
the sales are negotiated by real es-
tate operators, there is enough bust
ness of this kind to keep them busy
from now on.
