the official stenographer has been
furnished 10 you. and you have
asked me TO make this hasty and
preliminary report al this time,
with my opinion as TO the effect
and natural consequences of the
testimony so far adduced
Therefore, | beg To say that,
without resolving the contradic-
tons in the evidence so far devel-
oped, and upon the admissions of
Mccormick himself, il is apparent
that he has displayed a reckless
disregard Of that caution which
should be observed by man to
whom the imprisonment and deten-
ton of convicted prisoner has
tccn committed; and that from the
great population of this state.
Astounding in men of experience
and wisdom. the Superintendent OF
Prisons can surely find person
better fitted TO perform the duties
of warden of the states prison at
Ossining. And since you have no
power TO remove Mccormick from
office. he being an appOintee of the
Superintendent of Prisons, ! sug-
gest that you advise the latter to
forthwith remove Thomas J. Me-
Cormick from the Office of warden.
have adjourned the inquiry
committed TO me sine die, and
await your instructions regarding
the taking of any further teSti-
mony. as the powers committed to
me under your commission are
broad IN scope and permit an eX-
animation and investigation into
the management and affairs in gen

Mrs. Christina G. Brolin.

son and Anna K Andersodotter was
born in Northern Sweden, Oct. II,

land township, Iowa, Jan. Is, 1914,
aged 68 years, 3 months, and 3 days.
She was married to Louis BrOlin,
Oct. rs, 1878. To this union was
born one son Gideon. She leaves to
mourn her death her husband, son
and sons wife and two grandsons,
Louis G. and VIM. E. Brolin; also

She came with her husband to the

ing all was we'll. This Is a short

Stand by Your Town.

If you live in town you should
believe in it. If you don't believe
your own town or city is little
better in most respects than any of
it's neighbors you should move out.
Like other places it has advantages
that others have not, and your mod
esty should not prevent you from
making that fact known whenever
the opportunity presents itself. At
home or abroad whether pursuing or
to give those with whom you come
in contact to understand that you live
in live town populated by enter
prising, Wide-awake, go-ahead peo-
pie, and that is advancing instead of
retrograding. If you can truthfuliy
speak in commentator of the ability
of your professional men, the square
dealing methods of your merchants,
of your mechanics, the superiority
of your churches, schools and public
institutions and industry, energy and
sobriety of your citizens, let nothing
prevent you from exercising thatpriv-
ilege You should learn to believe,
if you do not already, that we have
all these and in addition the best To-
Gated town, the nneSt country SuE-
rounding it, with the most intell1-
gent class of farmers to be found.
If there are any drawbacks it will
not be necessary to mention them.
The people and newspapers OF COM
peting towns will relieve you of that
task by attending to that part of it
themselves Strangers seeking loca-
tons are always greatly Influenced in
favor of any town whose citizens are
enthusiastic in it's praise. No city or
town expects to attain prominence
over it's rivals unless it's inhabitants
appreciate the excellence and vir-
tues of each other and will collec-
lively spread abroad their faith in
the greatness of their locality. Talk
is a cheap commodity but when
rightly utilized it can be made effec-
tive in many directions and this is
one of them

Out of the Shadows.

When the shadows of your heart as
semble
In memOry's sombre halls,
And the skeleton of lifes regrets
Your aching heart appalls;
When your very soul seems freezing
For the warmth of a hope that's
lost.
Like a scuttled ship that's cast away
On angry waves storm tossed
When your heart is full of sorrow,
When fears Cypress your mind,
When friends and those you love the
Seem cruel and unkind;
Then seek some weary brother,
Whose hope in life is dim,
And soothe his fevered, throbbing
brow,
Re-light the hope in him.
AS you gently lead him upward
TO realms Of hopes bright light.
You both have left the shadows
And the world again seems bright

Deputy Game Warden T. l.. Ha

Deputy Game Warden T. l.. Hall,
of Glenwood, was in the city the first
OF the week and arranged with Hon.
George S. Allyn to establish game
preserve on his farms west OF the
city. Mr.. Allyn owns 1900 acres and
all of the land will be included and
will be stocked with English Ring
Neck pheasants and Hungarian par
tridges. While 1t is not known defl-
pitely how many birds will be avail
able there will probably be twenty or
thirty pairs Of each species and they
will be protected under the game law
for a period Of five years. new
system of distributing the birds has
recently been inaugurated. In form
er years they have been sent out In
numbers from single pair to three
or four pairs and have been dis
tributed in pairs with the result that
frequently one of the pair would be
killed and the system has proved un-
satisfactory. In each county pre-
serves are being established and the
birds sent in larger numbers. MI.
Hall has established preserves in
Mills, Pottawatamie, Decatur and
Ringgoid counties. A better loca-
ton for the game preserve in Ring
gold county could not have been Sc
lected. The Allyn farms are cen
trally located and the timber on the
farms will furnish splendid breed
ing ground for the birds.-Mt. Ayr

Cleveland, O., Feb. 5.-John D.

state taxation officers for Cuyahoga
county, went to the home of John ID.
Rockefeller on Forest hill, East Cleve,
land, today and filed q written de.
mand upon him that he pay taxes on
his personal property, estimated at
5000, 600, 900. into the treasury of this
county. The taxes would amount to
$l2, 100000.
The total of Rockefeller's personal
property is as great as the entire tax
duplicate of the county.
The tax commissioners claim that,
under the new, Warnes tax law, John
ID. Rockefeller has been a resident of
Cuyahoga county and Is subject to tax
alton on the personal property he
holds.
The deputies were not allowed to
see Rockefeller. They left a formal
written note calling his attention to
the provisions Of the Warnes law and
giving him five days in which to list
his property. If he refuses, a penalty
Of 5 per cent applies under the new
law. ,

Initial stimulus to- the movement

November, suggested to a few inter
mountain Representatives the neces-
sity Of uniting the far western col

from the national Legislation, as the
intermouHcain states have a small
congressional representation as COM
pared with other parts Of the coun-
try. The states represented at the
conferences are Idaho, Utah, Colorado,

cussion include the ystandardizing of
extension work, cooperation in ex-
detrimental work to avoid duplication
and the securing of needed state and
