A HARDENED OFFENDER.
rDes Moines Tribune.]


The Cedar Rapids Republican, which
has more capacity for reiterated mis-
statement than any newspaper In Iowa
repeats for the 'steenth time:
$50 the council raised the assess
ments and raised the devil all oyer the
state, causing something like seven
millions OF additional taxes to be paid
this year."
Now let it be said again that the
execu+ive does not cause taxes to be
raised, when 1t equalizes assessments
for the state Neither in law nor In
practice is what the Republican says
so.
Moreover in Polk county and IN
Des iMoines. where the levies were re-
duced by the taxing bodies, the new
assessment has not materially AFFECT
ed taxation. The average nome IN
Des Moines is paying substantially TINS
year what 1t paid last year.
The Republican ought to know pet
ter, and ought to do better.

mEAL COUNTRY CHURCH.


rh. ,rdInatfon of Rev. George B.
wider wednesday evening. at First
coneregati onal church. Sioux City, to
the pastorate OF country cnurcn'
twelye miles from a railroad, is signi-
ficant of the new movement toWaro
country life. That the secretary IN
city Y. NJ c. A, man OF more than
usual ability and we'll trained. shouid
deliberately choose the passionate OF
country church. and state that was
his ideal Of the highest kind OF use
fulness, shows that new day mas
dawned.
In his paper read before the exam
lining council, Rev. Mr.. Wilder stated
that there were two reasons for the
rush of young people from tie country
10 the towns and cities: "a The bet
tar schools of the town; CD the better
churches.
The first of these is being met by the
Capitalization Of the district schools
and the organization Of country high
schools. 1t is possible, he believes. to
remodel the country church so that II
shall meet both the social and spiritual
needs OF the people. Along with the
cross roads store and blacksmith shop.
he would see a we'll organized ,coun-
try high school and church equipped
with basement and gymnasium. In
Park community he has found peo-
pie ready to attempt this IDEAL
The remuneration for this work will
not be less than that in the cities. A
salary Of 5000 to $1,000, with parson-
age, in a country community, is more
than equal to the apparently large
compensation afforded in the cities.

LAND SALE:
CLOSED TO-DAY
MOST OF THE TRACTS OFFERED
RECEIVED BIDS AND NEARLY
ALL SOLD - THIS COMPLETES
PRESENT SALE,

The sale OF the surface of segre-
gated coal and asphalt lands in Car
ter, Pdshmataha, Murray, jefferson,
POntotoc and Johnston counties,
closed here this morning when the
remaining 70 tracts not already sold,
were offered at public auction. OF
the 40 tracts in this county, IL were
passed the balance being sold at
approximately the appraised value.
Yesterday, at a similar sale in Coal
county, of the 265 tracts offered all
but eight were disposed of. ]. George
Wright, superintendent of the Union
Agency at Muskogee, and J. Hamp
Willis, of Kingston, Chickasaw and
Choctaw mining trustee, were in at
tendance The veteran auctioneer,
w. w. Rogers, of Muskogee, had
charge of the sale.
Very little spirited bidding was
INDUCED in, from the fact that most
of the tracts were of no use to others
than those who now occupy them and
for that reason, little above the ap-
praised value was realized.

northern Poland, concerning the
progress of which there has been so
much mystery, is now being fought
out under the eyes of the German
emperor on the one side and the
Russian emperor on the other. These
two monarchs left for the front YES
terday so that virtually the heads of
all the nations at war are with their
troops.
The king of England is in France:
the king of Belgium, as usual, is
spending all his time with his SOL
diers, while President Poincare of
France started today for another
visit to the northern battlefield.
Official news from Poland contin-
ues to be scanty, and with both
headquarters claiming successes, it
is impossible to tell which way the
battle is going. OF its intensity,
however there can be no doubt.
The Germans. when they started
for Warsaw dashed full tilt into a
mass of Russian troops and forced
their way so far in that the Russians
closed on them. This was taken in
Petrograd that some of the German
divisions had been cut off and that
their surrender or annihilation was
inevitable.
1t appears, however that the Ger
man troops succeeded in breaking |
through the Russian lines at one
place and at another in holding their
against all the Rus
sian attacks. Their flanks are still !
being harassed by the Cossacks, but
seemingly the Russians are now in
4 position to gain the sweeping vic.
ory they had anticipated
The losses, with the desperate
lighting that has been going on for
/ fortnight, must necessarily be very
leavy ON both sides.

Cotton Damaging.

During the past week some cotton
which has been on the ground and not
protected from the weather, has been
brought into the compress and shows
a layer of damaged cotton on the side
which has been on the ground. This
means loss of $500 to $3.50 per bale
to the party who sells it. To prevent
the cotton from damaging, the farm
ers and merchants ought to keep their
cotton in a dry place, protected from
the weather. In a short time there
will be a difference in value of fully

making purchases at each place of
sale. They already own holdings in
this country, and Miss Arnall has
kept up with the oil reports in The

knowledge of the field. She has
lands near the international well in

MORE TALK Of
UNION DEPOT
FOR ARDM0RE
THE MAYOR SAYS HE is IN CON-
MUNlCATlON WITH THE RAIL
ROADS AND BELIEVES HE WILL
GET NEW ONE.

The mayor stated this morning
that he was in communication with
the authorities of the railroads, and
had every reason to believe that the
result of his effort would be a new
union depot for this city.
The agitation was started several
years ago and there has been sundry
propositions made by the city and
the railroads, but the most satisfac-
tory that has come to notice to the
city and the railroads is the PROPOSE
ton to locate the new station at the
foot of Broadway
The city attorney stated some time
ago and the matter was up with the
chamber of commerce, that if the
city would agree to vacate that part
of Broadway east of the railroad,
which is a gully filled with bushes,
which never has and perhaps never
will be used, the railroads would
build a union depot at the foot of
Broadway that would be adequate to
the needs of the city at present and
for years to come. This matter,
according to the city attorney, could
be easily settled. but, before the rail-
roads consent to erect costly build
ings on this site. they want to be
assured that their title will never be
disturbed.
The rumor was current some time
ago that the plans were all prepared
fG- the deiot and car sheds, to in
clude the TIosent and the Broadway
sites, but this never has been veri-
fed. II is Seiieved that in the event .
th railroads do build, and they can
hardly keep from it much longer,
their plans Wiz include both sites.
As the NJ. ter stands, the citizens
are clamoring :or bigger, better and
more sanitary dsrot, and it appears
that they are not going to be happy
until they get it. i
