GOVERNOR WILL ANSWER CRITICISM To Defend Action Employ ing Special Counsel  THINK CHARGE UNJUST
 -- In Answer Will Probably Show the Amount of Money Received From School Lands-Regrets Re-
 trenchment in State
THINK CHARGE UNJUST

Montgomery, October Especially = Governor O'Neal will probably answer the recent criticism which appeared in The Age-Herald on his employment of special counsel At the time the ar ticle appeared the executive was out of the state, being at that time in Penn sylvania. Later he went to Delaware and Massachusetts, and did not return to Montgomery until Wednesday.
 The governor thinks the charge against him with reference to the em- ployment of special counsel was un- just particularly inasmuch as the state has received considerable additional revenue as direct result of the eff forts of special attorneys
 In his answer, Governor ONeal will probably show the amount of money that has been turned over to the treas urer from the sale of sixteen section school lands. Altogether, more than s70,00 has been received from thls source, which other administrations have neglected to make any effort to collect
 In addition to the receipts from the sale of school lands, the state has been enriched many thousands of dollars as lllc result Ol llit tllbliS lD CoHpti TUT eign corporations to comply with the law with reference to registering to do business in this state.
 The governor is of the opinion that he has been unjustly criticized with reference to his employment of special counsel, particularly inasmuch as they have produced results which have more than warranted the states retaining them.
 
 Plan of Retrenchment
 The governor spoke Wednesday of his recent order to the heads of six state departments requesting that one clerk in each of these offices be dis missed. He declared that he regretted the necessity which compelled the issu- ance of the order, and stated that he considered that he might be working a hardship upon certain of the depart ments, but said that there was noth- ing else to be done under the cireum- stances. especially In view of the con- dition of the treasury
 The order of the governor affected the following departments: State bank ing, prison inspection tax commission, archives and history, educational and court of appeals All of the offices have announced their intention of complying with the governors request, at the same time declaring their will ingness to corporate with him in his plan of retrenchment.

That opinion remains unaltered.

probable that more than two candi-
dates for nomination, will be serious.

"Under these conditions, if the
Republicans of Iowa believe that !

Killed by a Shout.

A joyful shout thoughtlessly given
by an Italian smuggler on having
eluded the customs guards ON the
Swiss frontier was the cause of his
six companions being killed by an
avalanche. The party, coming from
the Grisons. had. with thousand pre-
cautions. successfully negotiated the
Forcola pass on the Swiss-Italian bOr-
der. Five Of the men were loaded
with valuable contraband goocs, and
two acted as guides and scouts. When
they were all safely on italian soil one
of the guides named Maretoli gave
vent to a joyful yodel. In the still
air the least sound causes a vibration
which may set enormous masses of
snow moving This is what occurred
here. A quarter Of million tons of
snow detached itself from the noun
tain side and came laundering down
upon the party, who were swept in an
instant into an abyss. Maretoi alone
was able to extricate himself.

WANT REAL PARCELS POST.

Entirely Too Much Energy Wasted on
Roads From Town 90 Country.
As to some products Of the farm,
there is a difference Of 40 to 90 per
cent between the price that the grower
receives and the price that the con-
sumner pays. There are even cases In
which this price difference amounts to
500 per cent. Part OF the loss Is due
to a bad system Of retail distribution.
as when dozen city milk wagons
travel over the same route, each de-
livering one bottle here and another
bottle there. when one wagon might as
well make all the deliveries along the
route. This same waste appears even
more markedly between the farm and
the town. How many fully loaded
wagons do you pass in driving to
town. From dozen farms a dozen
packages OF butter. poultry or vege-
tables may go to town the same morn
ing, each in different vehicle. Every
day a dozen parcels OF merchandise
are hauled out of town along the same
road in dozen different conveyances,
and the time ana labor OF eleven men
and eleven horses go for nothing. The
rural free delivery mail wagon now
comes to your house with load that
you could put in one or two bushel
baskets. and 1t goes back to town with
an even smaller load. Under present
conditions 1t looks AZ IL the postofice
department was not giving the farmer
his moneys worth.-Country Gentle

AFRICAN RHINOS.

Instead Of being savagely ferocious

after the rhino has taken his dirt
wallow and looks fine in his new red
coat he then slowly and painstakingly
proceeds to kill time during the rest Of
the day If danger threatens he be-
comes exceedingly nervous and excit-
ed. His anxiety is quite acute. In
vain he tries to locate the danger.
rushing one way for few yards,
then the other way and finally all
ways at once. His tail is up, and he is
snorting like a steam engine.
When he rushes toward you in this
attitude it looks very much as though
he were charging you with the purpose
Of tramp1ng you to finders. AS mat
ter or factor, rather, opinion-he is
merely trying to locate where you are
in order that he may run the other
way. He looks terrifying. but IN real
ity is probably badly terrified himself
He would give good deal to know
which way to run and finally becomes
so excited and nervous that he starts
frantically in some direction, hoping
for the best. If the rush happens to be
in your direction you call it charge
from an Infatuated rhino; If not. you
say that he looked nasty and was about
to charge but finally ran away in an
other direction.
In most rhino charges it is my opin-
ion that the rhino is too ratified to
know what he is doing, and instead Of
charging maliciously he is merely try
ing to get away as fast as possible
And in such cases the hunter blazes
away at him. wounds him. and the
rhino blindly charges the fash
