.TAINTOR STOCK YARDS
Subject Of Investigation By State
r. r. Commissioners.

Clifford B. Thorne, chairman and
'ol. David B. Palmer, of the Iowa
tailroad Commission, conducted a
public hearing at Taintor. of the
complaints against the M. 4 st. L.
stock yards at the station. The
NJ. & st. l.. Railway Company was
represented by Supt. J. p. Houston,
Chief Engineer Cummings and Road
master Doyl.
The petitioners, who advocate NOV.
ng the stock yards out of town were
epresented by Attorney Meredith OF
Newton, and the opponents by Attor,
ley JnO. o. Malcolm of Oskaloosa.
The investigation was conducted
very informally in the |. o. o. F. hall
One of the petitions included a re.
luest that the stock yards be entirely
emoved from the town. But some
If the Signers of this petition claim
o have overlooked this clause, and
thought they were merely requesting
he company to clean up the yards
Consequently the matter was taken
Ip by the township board of health
nd counter petition circulated by
hem notifying the railroad company
hat they must at once place the stock
Yards in a sanitary condition, pave
them and provide good drainage, etc.
and the signerS agreed that If the
company fulfilled these requirements
they would withdraw their demands
for the removal of the stock yards
from the town. This petition was
signed by a few who has signed the
first petition. Some Of the other
GomplaInants however stood by their
first demands and again petitioned
the company for the removal OF the
yards. They give as their objections
to the present location. the claims
as to the filthy condition at times. the
loud talking and .profane language of
shippers, which. they say. endangers
the morals OF nearby inhabitants, the
burning of refuge in and near the
yards and the drainage of filth into
the street.
Toward the close of the hearing a
of farmers and shippers who
were present asked to be heard ana
told the commissioners that they
were very much opposed to the pro-
posed change In the location of the
stock yards, even to the nearest place
talked of. They stated that such 3
change would make II so inconvenient
that they would do most of their ship.
ing from other stations. Their main
objections were the distance the stock
yards would be from the depot, which
would make II inconvenient in filling
out contracts and would leave them
shelter In storm weather.
% Tn commissioners have not made
public their decision and the interest.
ing parties will await their report
with much interest.

None Better Than Iowa Apple.

Experts now estimate the apple
crop of the state of Iowa at 25 pei
cent of full crop. Even that is not
to be sneezed at. especially If the
quality should prove all that can be
expected. There are no better apples
produced anywhere in the world than
the better grades of Iowa apples. By
and by the general public and the
dealers and the Iowa farmer are all
going to make this discovery and then
the Iowa farmer will give the same
attention to his apple trees that he
does to his hogs and to his corn
fields. and the results will be equally
gratifying. --.--..

Aftermath Of Joint State Conven
ton In 0skaloosa.

Nearly all the OflCialS departed on
the afternoon trains yesterday, al.
though a few remained over until the
evening trains. All of them agreed
that the OskaIoosa meeting was one
of the best they had ever held and
they were enthusiastic over the man
ner in which they were received and
entertained here. 1t was the unani
nous verdict Of all the visitors that
tue banquet Thursday night at the
Country club was one of the incest
occasions in which they had ever
participated. The Country club house
and grounds came in for a big share
OF the praise and many were conf
dent in their declarations that there
is not city in the country the size
of OskalOosa that boasts such a
splendid country club.
The legislative committee of the
Recorders association was appoint
