Hero Of Love Plot Fails to Keep En-.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Sept. esd Merry, a
farm hand who lives at Austin, Mimi,
failed to keep his promise to elope
with May Strawn. the ii6-year-o old
daughter of +. Strawn. of Rock Falls.
The reason was because Merry was at
Mason City in the Cerro Gordo county
Jail. The trouble all came because
Mays father became suspicious and
opened letter from Merry addressed
to his daughter.
The letter was written from this city
without date, probably Thursday
evening, and was with the usual cant
sleep or eat for thinking of you" fea-
lures but it also contained the infor-
ma ton that the writer was coming to
Rock Falls on Saturday and a plan
of an elopement for Saturday. Merry
arrived. in Rock Falls IS scheduled Sat
urday and was promptly arrested by
Constable Holder.
Merry was brought to this city Sat-
urday afternoon and imprisoned on
mittimus to the grand jury charging
attempted kidnapping. The girl admits
,Merry's attentions to her but says she
had no thought of an elopement. Merry

Problem General.
The report also made recommends
tons as to limitation of tax laws. so
that. for instance, there could be no
increase of taxes In any taxation unit
beyond "A certain percentage in any
one year, except in case Of an emer-
gency to be determined by some COM
petent body.
The wide scope OF this report indi-
Gates how general and continuing Is
the taxation problem. 1t is recalled
that number of years ago Iowa legis-
future tackled the problem for Iowa
and tax commission made report
which. If 1t had been acted on, would
have gone far toward preventing much
that is now complained Of. But it was
defeated by the selfish interests COM
bining to leave things alone. Then still
later, only four years ago, another tax
commission tried the Job of planning
effective reform. It's report is one that
is still before the legislature and may
be acted on at any time. but all bills
for taxation reform We're defeated by
the legislature last session.
There are. however, a good many OF
the legislators and others in Iowa, who
are working quietly along the line Of
arousing public sentiment to the point
of settlement of taxation and expense
questions in right manner.

After reading the public statement Of
this representative citizen of Marshall
town given below, you must come to
this conclusion: A remedy whcih
proved so beneficial years ago with the
kidneys, can naturally be expected to
perform the same work in similar cases.
Read this:
Mrs. Charles A. Kollein, 304 North
Fifth street, Marshalltown. Iowa, says:
-"I have taken Doan's Kidney Pills, and
have also given them to my children
with the most satisfactory results.
Some years ago. told in a public state
ment how greatly Doan's Kidney Pills
had benefited us, and since then my
opinion of this remedy has not changed.
We haze tested Doan'ss Kidney Pills
more than once, getting them at the

has increased" rs

HAD NO RATloNs TO SPARE
Good Reason Why Confederate Com
mander Was Willing to See His
Prisoners Escape.

When, at Gaines Mill in 1862, the
Fifth Texas captured two whole regi-
ments of Union soldiers. the Texans
were all very proud Of their achieve
ment. One of them has described an
amusing scene in connection with the
surrender.
When the Union officers gave up
their swords to Colonel Upton they
were SO prompt In the duty that he
was compelled to lay down the frying
pan which he carried in place Of a
sword and hold the weapons presented
In his arms.
Just then he noticed a commotion at
the far end OF the captured regiments.
That was near the timber, and q squad
of the prisoners we're making an eff
fort to pass by "Big John" Ferris OF
Company B. who stood there unaided,
endeavoring to intercept them.
Springing upon a log, the armful of
swords dangling about in every direc-
ton, Upton shouted:
John Ferris, what are you trying to
do now?"
Il am trying to keep these fellows
from escaping" yelled Big John.
Let them go, you fool" shouted
back Upton. WED rather fight than
feed them!"

Followed nsr Vanished Nest.

This story Of a thrush that missed,
and caught its train comes from Lima
vady, In Ulster, Ireland The bird had
built Its nest under a first-class car
riage Immediately over the steam heat
ing pipe, and Notwithstanding that the
carriage travelled between Limavady
and Londonderry, the nest contained
four eggs.
The institution Of the summer serv-
Ice Of trains caused trouble. The car
riage left Londonderry In the evening
at 4:40 instead Of 1850, and when the
mother thrush. who had presumably
been on a foraging expedition, re-
turned. she found carriage. nest and
eggs had disappeared. She was no
ticed at Londonderry in apparent dis
tress, and the station master appraised
imavady OF the circumstances and
asked the railway people there to look
out for the bird, suggesting that she
would probably arrive by the next
train. The bird duly arrived at Lima!
vady either by train or air and re-
sumed her task of Matching the eggs.
The sympathetic railway officials
have decided to withdraw the carriage
from service pending the Matching of
the eggs.

AGAINST WoMEN'S POCKETS
New York Newspaper Gives Eight
Reasons for lite Opposition TO
Pro- posed Move.

1. Because pockets are not natural
right.
2. Because the great majority OF
women do not want pockets. II they
did, they would have them.
8. Because whenever women have
had pockets they have not used them.
4. Because women are expected to
carry enough things as 1t is without
the additional burden of pockets.
8. Because it would make dissension
between husband and wife as to whose
pockets we're to be filled.
6. Because it would destroy mans
chivalry toward woman If he did not
have to carry all her things in his
pockets.
Z. Because men are men and women
the women. We must not fly in the
face of nature.
8. Because pockets have been used
by men to carry tobacco, pipes, whisky
TASKS, chewing gum and compromis-
ing letters. We see no reason to sup
pose that women would use them
more wisely.-New York Tribune.

SUGGESTIONS FOR ICE TRUST
Just a Few Reasons Why There
Should Be an Advance In Price
Of Summer Necessity.

The ice trust having offered silver
loving-cup for the best excuse which
might be invented for raising the
price Of Ice after the cold winter, we
hopefully submit the following:
l. The Ice being so thick and heavy,
1t costs more TO handle 1t.
2. The blocks are 30 large that there
is great waste in cutting them up for
the retail trade.
3. The Ice is so cold 1t freezes solid
In the storage houses and is very diff
cult to get out.
4. AS the winter has been 30 cold.
the summer will necessarily be very
hot, and the demand for Ice very
great, 30 that It is doubtful II there
Will be enough to go around.
b. The Ice being extra thick, extra
cold, and extra quality all through, 1t
is only proper that an extra price
should be demanded.
6. The price OF Ice never had any
relation to the cost OF production. any
how.-Life.

Anticipation,

zone summer CHANGED to be back
in the ridges of Tennessee" said
United States Senator Blair Lee of
Maryland, as he leaned back in his
chair, "and couple Of mountaineers
got into an argument. High words
led to blows, and one of the men was
killed. One Of the party volunteered
to ride on ahead to the dead mans
cabin and break the news to the
widow.
She was seated at a table eating
apple-dumplings when the man rode
up. He broke the news as gently as
possible. The woman listened quietly
with dumpling poised In the air half
way to her mouth. When the man had
finished, she stuffed the dumping into
her mouth and said
You-all Jest wait till finish this
hyer dumplin' an then you-all'll hear
some hollerin'.'"
