Rejects a Generous Offer.

Some fellow that says he is from
Algona is in this vicinity this week
looking for easy marks among the
farmers, says the Ringsted Dis
patch. He says he has no capital
and he wants five hundred farmers
to chip in S. a piece and start him
up in business running farmers
store. In return for their generos-
ity he will sell them goods for cost.
Well, who wouldn't? A scheme
like this would look good to any,
body. We warn the farmers to
look out for this stranger. Spend
your own money and you will know
where it is. Farmers cooperative
stores are one thing that have
proven a failure and with one in
this town the good feeling between
town and country would be spoiled.
At present the farmers and towns
people are pulling together and
the condition is ideal. We can see
the good results on every hand.

JAIL DELIVERY PREVENTED.
Youngest Two Prisoners Start With
Window Weight to Break
Through Brick Wall.

The youngest two prisoners in
the Fayette county Jail attempted
to break out Saturday afternoon,
and made good deal of Roadway,
but were caught at their work be-
fore it was finished. The two were
the forger, Harry II. Wells" aged
twenty-one, and Walter Mitchell
of Oelwein, aged fifteen, who is
bound over to the grand jury under
accusation of having taken part in
the theft of handcar. Sheriff
Clark saw the boys acting suspi-
ciously as if concealing something,
and when he got them to move
found they had displaced about a
dozen bricks from the inside wall.
The same amount of work on the
outside wall would have made
them free. They had taken win
dow weight, fifteen inches long and
weighing seven pounds, out of the
side of the window casing to break
out the brick with. Another prison
err was cross-examined and furA
nished the needed information,
and the young prisoners were kept
in the cells on bread and water for
day.-West Union Gazette.

MARRIED FOR SIXTY YEARS.
DIR. and Mrs. ID. II. Cutler of Usage,
Celebrate Anniversary.

Usage, Nov. 3.-Dr. and Mrs. ID.
E. Cutler, pioneer residents of this
place, celebrated the siXtieth ami
versary of their marriage on Oct.
9th. The couple came to Mitchell
county in 1854 and DR.. Cutler prac-
ticed dentistry in Usage for forty
six years. He is 81 years of age,
and his wife is 76.
The marriage of Della F. Gregg
to DR.. Cutler was celebrated in La
porte, Ind, Oct. q, 1853, and they
came in the following year to Usage
where they have since maintained
their home. They are survived by
two children, DR.. A. B. Cutler of
Kalispel, Mont, who is also dem
fist, and Mrs. Chauncy Burch of
Sioux Falls, S. d. There are also
the following grandchildren; DR.. E.
V. Cutler of Usage; Miss Zoe Cut
Ter, Miss Myra Cutler, Mrs. w. c.
Adams, Harold Cutler of Livings-
ton, Mont, and Miss Vida Burtch.
DR.. and Mrs. E. v. Cutler open
ed their home in this city yester-
day, for a reception for the bride
and groom of sixty years ago. One
hundred and twenty-six guests
gathered to do them honor and
many beautiful gifts were bestow-
ed upon the worthy couple. Among
these were a gold headed cane and
a gold headed umbrella, one for the
groom and the other for his wife,
presented by seventy Usage friends.
The most unique present was
the book of 100 letters handsome
ly bound with black leather ard
very attractively gotten up by Mrs.
w. C. Adams of DEBORAH, gran
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Cutler.
Among the letters are those writ
ten by all of the pastors who have
served the Usage Congregational
church during the last forty-five
years, all of whom are living. The
book also contains a picture of the
bridal couple taken sixty years ago
and another of recent date. The
collection is valuable for its tender
memories and represents the
friendly associations of DR.. and
Mrs. Cutler during their long and
useful lives.

Running "MOvies" on Sunday.

The case of the State of Iowa
VS.. Lou Warne and Claude Schnei-
der moving picture show men of
Oelwein, was tried Monday before
Justice Berkey of this city. This
is a case where the defendants are
charged with employing labor on
Sunday in operating their picture
shows. County Attorney Hughes
represented the state and Attorney
E. r.. O'Brien appeared for the de-
PENDANTS. The case had not pro-
ceeded far when council for the de-
Tense offered a demurrer to the eff
feet that the law was not germane
in the case. Justice Berkey over
ruled the demurrer, and Attorney
O'Brien at once filed an appeal to
the district court, and the matter
will be settled by the judges. Not
long ago a similar case was tried
before a jury in Justice Mcqueen
court at Oelwein, and the Oelwein
jury brought in a verdict for the
defense. NThe town seems to be di-
vided on the matter of running the
movies" on Sunday.

HOTTEST WEEK,
EARLIEST FROST.
September, 1913, Goes ON Record
With New Iowa Standard of
Extremes.

Des Moines, Nov. 3.-The fol-
lowing general summary of Iowa
weather conditions for the month
of September is from the report of
the Iowa section of the govern
ment Chronological service:
September, 1913, will go on rec
ord as having the hottest week of
any September on record, and with
one exception the earliest general
killing frost and freezing temper
ature. The first seven days of the
month were excessively hot; the
daily maximum temperatures being
100 degrees or higher every day
over the southern and considerably
above 90 degrees in the northern
counties. After the 18th the tenn
perature was generally below the
normal with light frost over the
northern counties on the 18th, and
killing frost and freezing temper
atures in all parts of the state on
the 22d. In 1890 killing frost
was quite general over the state
on September 18th, the earliest on
record since the establishment Of
the Weather Service
The first week of the month was
also excessively dry, there being
only few light and widely scatter
ed showers, but after the 18th show
ers were frequent and fairly we'll
distributed so the average monthly
amount was only 1910 inch below
the normal.

Three Barns Burned.

Friday morning at about three
O'Clock fire was discovered in a barn
occupied by Patsy Lydon in the
rear of the residence next to the
Wentworth & Hamilton shop. Be-
fore it was extinguished, the fire
burned this barn, buggy shed and
a barn in the rear of the shop. Ly-
don got his horses out, but horse
owned by John Beatty was burned
to death in the second barn. The
rear of the blacksmith shop also
caught fire but it was extinguished
with but little damage done, and
that covered by insurance.
Monday afternoon, a boy and a
match was the cause of barn
burning at the DR.. Precious home.
The barn was a total loss and e. r.
lost a buggy, full set of harnesses
and robes and some veterinary in
struments, partially covered by in
surance.-Cresco Plain Dealer.

CANNOT IMPORT POTATOES.
Quarantine Maintained Against
Countries Which Main ImpOrta-
tiOns Come From.

Whenever there is a scarcity of
potatoes in this country, and es-
pecially when the price reaches the
dollar mark, the question is asked,
"Why are not potatoes imported
from countries where they are
abundant" This is answered
through the National Farmer from
which we take the following ex-
tract, from a lengthy article deal
ing with the subject:
1.-The federal horticultural board
of the department of agriculture,
at Washington, has decided to con-
tinue indefinitely the potato quar-
antine that has been maintained
during the past year against GER
tain countries from which our main
importations of potatoes come. The
countries against which quarantine
Isles, Germany, Austro-HungarT,
Newfoundland, and two islands be-
longing to France. in the st. Law
renee river, called ST. Pierre and
Miquelon.
"The object of the quarantine,
which was first imposed just a year
ago, is to prevent the introduction
into United States of a dangerous
potato disease, now unknown to the
country. This disease is known as
the potato wart, the potato canker
or black scab, and is prevalent in
the aforementioned countries. A
considerable area in England and
Scotland is infected with wart di-
sease, and these infected districts
adjoin Liverpool and other ports
from which shipments would be
made to the United States. The
quarantine against Ireland is i'm
portant, because of the existance
there of certain potato diseases
known as powdery scab and pink
tuber rot"

Olin.

Anamosa, Ia, Nov. 3.-Jesse
Wells of this place was found
dead last night on the main high
way between here and Olin. He
had been working with construc-
ton crew who were engaged in
leveling and grading the road
about a mile out of town.
Several teams had just returned
to town for material and left him
alone to do some hand work and

Gave A Fine Concert.

The Winneshiek County Norske
Sangerforbund came over from De.
corah last night in a special train
over the Rock Island. The wealth
er was very disagreeable, hence
a small audience greeted the sing.
ers. This, however, did not deter
them from giving those present a
fine concert, under the leadership
of Prof. Carlo A. Sperati. The or
chestra was exceptionally good,
and all told the concert gave gen.
eral satisfaction.
After the concert the boys re-
paired to VOLTS e Hamre's store
and serenaded Mr.. Hamre, who is a
member of the society. Mr.. Hamre
of course, will not now be with the
boys so much, having moved to Os-
sian to assume charge of his bust
ness. To say that he appreciated
the serenade would be putting 1t
mildly.-Ossian Bee.

BRUTAL ATTACK ON TEACHER.
Miss Amundson, of Kensett, Teach
er is Seriously Injured.

Kensett, Iowa.-Miss Viva AM
undsen, of Northwood, one of the
teachers in the schools here was
the victim of a brutal assault last
Tuesday evening near her boarding
place. She was struck on the
head with some kind of blunt in
strument, after which the cur tore
her hair, and beat her further
about the head Her screams
frightened the brute, and soon
brought help, but the fellow fed
without being positively identified.
From what description Miss Am
undson was able to give, suspicion
attaches to youth of this town
who fed from the country a cou-
pie of years ago, following circula-
ton of a story which connected him
with an unnamable offense.
Miss Amundson was attended by
DR.. H. B. Graeser, who found that
the force of the blow had driven
some of her metal hairpins through
her skull. The doctor expresses
surprise that she lived.
