Fort Madison, Sept. 27.-Members OF
the Fort Madison Medical society have
been busy sending out invitations to
the members of the medical profession

good for him.,
DR.. Mayo and his three distinguish

OLD SOLDIERS WILL
HAVE TO PAY TAXES

Des Moines, Sept. ~. - Scores. of
old soldiers, who have in the past
!, been entitled to a $1,000 tax exemption
will be forced to pay the full assessed
value in 1916, according to the county
assessor. Ignorance of law passed
by the last assembly is responsible.
Under the new law, old soldiers,
sailors and their widows are entitled
to a $500 exemption, but written ap.
plication for same must be made by
September l of the year for which 1T
Is claimed.
The dead line" has been passed and
numerous war. veterans, unaware Of
the law requirements, have failed to
apply for exemption. Consequently.
they will be forced to pay their full
taxes.
Until beneficiaries become familiar
with the new statute, it will work a
hardship upon them instead Of aiding
them, according to the assessor, who
is anxious that the new requirements
be given publicity.

GERMANS NORTH

There was little or no musketry
The bayonet did most of the work. The
proportion of dead to wounded anc
prisoners was large. What was LEFT

The general impression of wounded

Victory Taken Calmly.
Parisians received news of the VIC
tory soberly. The newspapers issued
large editions and offlciai
bulletins were read from the stages OF
the theaters last night, the orchestras
playing the "Marseillaise." There were
70 other public demonstrations.
A report was spread that many
trains with wounded soldiers were ar
irving outside Paris but later 1t was
learned that these trains were fllled
with German prisoners.

ROME SCHOOL CASE
IS HEARD OF AGAIN
ATTORNEY Is SUING FOR HlS
FEES AND TEACHER WANTS
HER MONEY TOO.

Mt. Pleasant, Sept. ~. - An echo OF
the celebrated Rome school case was
heard in the district court last week
when two suits were filed with the
clerk. La Monte Cowles of Burlington
who acted as attorney fen the school
board in the various cases, which were
heard in the district court, thinks that
1t is time he was paid something for
his trouble and accordingly filed suit
against the Independent school fis-
trict of Rome, asking for judgmeI in
the sum of $567 together with inter-
ests and costs. Mr.. Cowles claims that
he acted for the board in litigation,
which extended from September 8.
1914, to March 5, 1915, and that his
services were reasonably worth the
amount sued for.
Miss Selma Talbot of this city, who
was thep rimary teacher appointed by
the school board also wishes to
handle some money. She has filed suit
against the school board and the
treasurer, asking for judgment in the,
sum of 1855, together with interest and
costs. Miss Talbot says that she
taught the primary room In the fall of
1913 and until February, 1915 and that
the school board issued warrants in
her favor to the amount of 1856. These
warrants she has presented for pay!l
ment but payment has been refused.
She not only asks for Judgment but
also asks for an order of the court,
directing the treasurer Of the said
school district to pay these warrants.

Not In Final Form.
Probably before the vehicle is final
ly ready for the market, other
changes will be made, although the
present construction may prove en-.
tirely satisfactory as it Is. The Ford
concern Is experimenting with the
vehicle right along and making it
prove its ability under all kinds of
severe conditions. The aim is to have
vehicle that will serve the farmer
well, and until 1t has advanced to such
state of development that they are
sure it will do its work, 1t will not be
put on the market. From information
that can be gained, it seems likely that
the rural population will have to wait
at least another twelve months before
he Ford tractor will be a commercial

RUSSIANS FEARED RIOT.
Called for Protection of Sheriff EN-
ployed at Box Factory.

Claiming that they were victims
of riot, eight Russians, employees
Of the Bemidji Box factory, called for
the protection of Sheriff johnson
early Friday evening. The Russians
had entered the Bliss store at N.Y.
more and claimed that a large num-
Der of men who took exception to
their employment at the factory, be-.
cause of the low wages accepted by
them, were about to mob them. The
sheriff, with Deputy Denley, rushed
to the scene of the alleged trouble
and found the Russians but was un-
able to discover the mob. He es-
corted them to their boarding house.
Several weeks ago a petition was sub
mitted to the sheriff charging that
the Russians carried concealed weap-
ons on their persons and that they
were feared by many "These Rus
SLAMS are entitled to just as much
protection as any of the other resi-
dents of Bemfdji, !" said the sheriff.

tions Offered by Pioneer.
IS BOUND IN FINE LIMP LEATHER

It is with no small sense of pride
that The Pioneer makes the an
tnouncement that it will present to
its readers new and magnificent
volume of the Bible, the first and
only fully illustrated edition ever
published. It is not to be UNDER
stood that this presentation is
prompted by religious motives as
much as a desire to provide an edu-
cational feature that is not generally
considered in that light. Admitting
that all editions Of this book are
good, it follows that one containing
some six hundred Illustrations that
bear directly on the reading matter
which they accompany must neces-
+sarily be a superior volume.
Believing that its readers are de-.
serving of none but the best, The
Pioneer has adopted this New Nus
trated Bible as means Of furthering
its educational activities.
This Bible is known as the King
James Version. which was4originall
published in 1911, and is the only
authorized version. The Rexised
Version is not generally accepted BY
