A GOOD BOOSTER
c. w. Marlin is A Good Booster
and Live Wire for Our Neigh
boring City.

Our predecessor, now part owner
of the Cass County Advocata, takes
notice of an article recently bub-
llshed in the Journal regarding the
across country auto race and writes
a nice editorial which proves him
to be a good booster for his home
town, Atlantic Chester deserves
credit for the way he is working
for our neighbor town, and the
belief he has in the impression that
tourists will derive from going by
way of Atlantic by the River to
River Road. But:
There are other larger towns and
cities along ehe route that will i'm
press tourists far more than Allan
tic will, that the tourists wish to
get to in the shortest time possi-
BILE, and that can be done by short
ening the route of the River to
River Road. The White Pole road
Is shortening it's course wherever
it is found possible, which is a
good thing for the State of Iowa,
then why should not the River to
River course be shortened and ben
eft the state also in preference to
any one town or city. 1t seems all
right for the White Pole Road to
cut out towns along it's route as
long as Atlantic is left alone but
then for the River to River Road
to do so where Atlantic is con-
cerned is different proposition
or horse of different color.

COUNTY BRIDGES.
Our Civil Engineers Report On
Audubon County's Bridges OF
Much Interest just Now.

Mr.. c. d. Forsbeck, our civil en-
gineer sent us a letter OF much in
terest to the Audubon County
people, which we publish in part
for their benefit MIR. Forsbeck
says that he has finished mark
ing the bridges in this county, of
which there are 467. The wooden
bridges 352 in number are all 30
or more feet long except few
that the county built shorter in
places that are almost impossible TO
townships to handle There are
"a concrete arches, seven concrete
boxes, eight concrete pipes, 10
concrete block arches, five con-
crete girder bridges, seven steel
tubes, z steel truss AMI Pile with
W., floor and two 2teel truss
bridges with concrete tIcors and
abutments. Douglas and EN-, q
townships have the same number
of bridges with Sc each the most
of any township. Cameron town
ship has II or the least of any.
If all the wooden bridges were
put together bridge about three
quarters of mile long would be
the result at the cost of 500, 900
at the cost per foot paid in the
past.

THE FINGER OF TIME
An Incident of Few Decades Ago,
Which Shows the Swift Advances
of Human Civilization in the
State of Iowa.

What wondrous change has
been wrought by Time in Iowa, ever
within the span of single human
life
1t happened once that miner at
Dubuque, Patrick O'Conner, shot
and killed companion, named
George O'Keaf.
When asked why he had commi
ted the crime, he replied, "That is
my own business"
O'Keaf's friends We're enragad
and wanted to lynch his murderer,
but were persuaded to give him
trial instead.
But there were no courts in Iowa
and no government. The court at
Galena, Illinois, was asked to try
the case bat said it had no juris-
diction west of the Mississippi. Fin
ally local court was organized.
The prisoner selected his attorney
and was also allowed to name the
jury. The said jury sat on log
and heard the evidence. They
brought in a verdict of murder in
the first degree and sentenced the
prisoner to be hanged.
The prisoners friends now got
busy trying to save his neck; and
they endeavored to take an appeal.
The governor of Missouri was asked
to pardon him, but said he had no
more authority than the Car of
Russia. Then the same appeal was
made to Andrew Jackson, president
of the United States; but he sent
word back that the laws of the Uni
ted States had not been extended
over the country which is now Iowa
And SO at the time appointed, Pat
rick O'Conner was duly hanged.
And all this was less than eighty
years ago. Some Journal readers
can pretty nearly remember back
this far.

Was Given.

Thursday, January 10Th, Govern

which he crates the hogs and
bleeds them breaking the fiber in
blood, and by so doing obtains the

they do not disinfect enough or
keep their pens thocorshly clean
Mr.. Baker also claims th q. the NJ
lection of this serum INTO a bunch
OF hogs infected with cholera, will
save 80 percent of them. The claim
is also made by him that the dem

the worth of the serum. The dem

OUSTED FROM TRUST co
His Connection with NIarkley and
Miller Is Said to Be the Cause
for Action.

Because of his doings with the

the presidency of the first Mort
pany of Philadelphia. Mr.. Shaw
was let out without any notice
whatever not even being asked to
resign and when it came time 70

ton Harris vas elected. TIE y

Shaw has been connected with
Markley and Miller in the now de-
funct International Lumb ber and
Development company and a few
months ago came into public atten-
tion in connection with certain fl
nacing of the Western Steel COR
poration. On account OF this it is
said he later received on August
IS, 1911, $50 shares of the com
pany StOck Win I,OOO SnareS more

The fact that the bank failed to

not the confidence in the institu-

rectors accordingly decided that d
