Would be Interesting.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Eighty
acres near Jewell, in Hamilton
county, have been sold recently, the
price being $4,000. The former
owner has lived on the place thirty
years. 1t might be interesting to
learn what he paid for the place
thirty years ago. And what he has
gotten out of it since, from year to
year. There are all sorts of reports
and statements in circulation, as to
the profits of farming. The farmers
are out of debt, they get more
money than ever before for every
thing that they produce. They have
more money than ever before. They
live better than ever before, and the
luxuries of the cities are all within
their reach. And yet we are told
that they are making but a very
small percentage upon the capital
invested. 1t would be interesting to
have that demonstrated, not for the
benefit of an expert accountant, but
for the common people who can do
a little plain figuring, but are lost
when confronted with a maze of ex-
pert bookkeeping.

Will Not Extend Line.

From time to time it has been re-
ported that the Chicago c North
western railroad would soon extend
its line from Alden to Eagle Grove
thus making a more direct route
from northwestern Iowa to Chicago
The report has been so persistently
INDUCED in that many had accepted
it as a fact. However, the follow,
ing from the Alden Times seems tc
indicate that the company never had
such intention:
Attorney II. E. Button is in re,
ceipt of communication from the
Land Department of the Chicago &
North Western railroad in which
Mr.. Cleveland, the head of the de-
partment, makes the following
statement regarding the old C. |. &

does not claim to be the owner OF

or right Of possession thereto.
see no reason why the adjoining
farmers should worry over their IT,
tie and l really see no occasion why
any REIMBURSEMENT on the part OF
this company is necessary
This letter forever settles the
question Of whether the North Yves
tern will extend its Alden line tc
Eagle Grove or not Should the road
have had any intention of continu.
ing the line an attempt, at least
would be made to hold the right OF
way as long as possible.

who examined the wound stated
that the only thing that saved the

was wearing a corset and the knife
blade was DETECTED by corset steel.

ried only a few months is known
