was filed at the June term year ago,
at which time both respondents We're
arraigned and pleaded not guilty and
Shepard was let out on bail and the
woman was given her liberty on her own
recognizance. On Mr.. Sturtevant's
recommendation, based on the fact that
the evidence was inadequate and doubt

ed. Lenno was arraigned and pleaded
guilty of one first offense Of selling in
toXicatng liquor contrary to law in
Middlebury a few months ago. Mr..
Sturtevant recommended that the plea
be accepted and then course was taken.
Ira H. LaFleur, for the respondent,
stated. that Lenno was.a poor man, with
wife and four young children; that he
had lived in Middlebury for nine years
and this was the first time he had ever
been charged with criminal offence;
that he is a laborer and works as a
track hand for the Rutland Railroad
company for $50 per day and that he
owns, or rather, partly owns a small
place near the railroad station, which he
mortgaged in order to get bail when
| first arrested; and on account of the
wife and young children and other cir
cumstances of the case the States at
torney acquiesced in these statements
Judge Butler gave the respondent a
good talking to, but announced that the
court had decided to give him the mini
mum sentence. which was that he pay a
fine of $500, with the alternative SEN
tence in the House of Correction, but
that sentence should be suspended and
the respondent placed in charge of the
probation officer upon his paying $50
and costs down, and $50 additional in
one year, but that if any of the condi-
tions were broken the full sentence
must be complied with.

10000 AUTOS IN IOWA.
Automobile Department Has Issued
$1,000 Plates So Far to Car
Owners.

The automobile department of the
state has issued 81 900 automobile
plates for 1915. There are $4,000
applications on file which have not
been reached as the Office is about
ten days behind in it's mail.
The department has issued H.
600 more plates this year than last
year at the corresponding period.
The demand has not dropped off and
the prospects are that the state will
register 10000 machines before
the close of the year. A good in
crease in the number of cars was an
ticipated.
The new automobile registration
law does not go into effect until July
4. 1t provides for a plate which will
be good for three years. However,
it does not effect 1915.

aries were reduced. But by the cut
ting off of fees and other changes it
is fairly estimated that the aggre-
gate amount paid to county officers
in the state was not materially
changed. Senator Chase got thru
the senate the last week a bill which
if it had become a law would have
left in force all the reductions in
these deduction of all fees from the
perquisites of the Offices, but would
Lave prevented any corresponding
increase in salaries to make it up so
long as the present terms continue.
1t would have taken at least $780,
GOO from the county Offices a year,
until new terms were commenced.
Provisions Are Plain.
The provisions as to salaries being
all that the officials can get are made
very plain. For instance in regard
to county treasurers the bill says:
The treasurer shall accept the
salary herein provided in full COM
pensation for ell services perform
ed under color of his office. All fees
of every kind and nature which he
receives for services performed in
his official capacity, or on matters
pertaining to the records in his Of
fee, shall belong to the county ana
shall be paid into the county treas
ury quarterly"
There is a provision that in coun-
ties having 10000 population with
first class cities the board may al
low additional compensation not to
exceed $50 for each 5000 of popu-
lation.
The provision as to fees is the
same for auditors as for treasurers,
and for sheriffs the same except as
to mileage.
The provision as to deputy sheriffs
is that the sheriff shall appoint one
or more, the number to be fixed by
the board of supervisors and also
the salaries and all deputies shall be
paid by the county. The deputy au-
ditor bill is in like terms.
The county board may authorize
one or more deputy treasurers with
salary not to exceed 5000 year and
the same rule applies to deputy
clerks of courts.
Special provision for deputies is
made in Muscatine, Lee and Potta-
wattamie counties.

PRINCIPAL CAUSES OF DEATHS.
The Death Rate i'm The Worst of
These, tuberculosis is De-
creasing.

Washington, d. c., April 90
The latest report On mortality ir
the registration area" Of the Unit.
ed States, relating to the calendar
year 1913, recently issued by the
Bureau of the Census, Department OF
Commerce, contains some interest
ing and significant figures with ref
erence to the principal causes OF
death in this country. More than
one-half of all the deaths in the reg
istration area-which in 1913 con-
tanned about 65 per cent of the to-
tai population of the United States
were due to nine causes: Tubercu-
losis, heart disease, pneumonia,
brights disease and nephritis, diar-
rhea and enteritis, cancer, apopleXy,
diptheria and Group, and typhoid
fever. The first three of these mali
dies alone were responsible for more
than 80 per cent of the total NOR
tality reported for that year.
The death rate from these nine
causes combined in 1913 was S10.4
per 100000 population. This is a
material decrease from the CORES
ponding rate in 1900-937.4 per
100, 0,000-when the census bureau
made it's first annual collection of
mortality statistics. The number of
deaths resulting from these causes
however, formed a somewhat great
er proportion of the to.al reported
mortality in 1913 than in 1900-57
per cent in the latter year as COM
Jared with SO per cent in the earlier.
tuberculosis in it's various forms
claimed 93,421 victims in 1913, OF
which number S0,S12 died from tu-
berculosis of the lungs (including
acute military tuberculosis) With
improved sanitation and with better
understanding of the laws of health
and the Importance of pure air, how
ever, the white plague is rapidly
becoming a less serious menace to
health and happiness. In only nine
years-from 1904 to 1913-the NOR
tality rate from tuberculosis in all
it's forms fell from 200.7 to 1915
per 100000, the decline being con-
tiauouss from yehr to year. Prior
to 1904 the rate had fluctuated
starting at 2O1.9 in 1900.

SOCIETY'S SINS.

In view of the revelations being
made as to the ravages of the drug
habit it seems strange that the truth
was not shown sooner. 1t is strange
indeed that willie the demon rum
has come in for such assaults these
long years that those enlisted for
the cause of humanity had not dis
covered a secret foe that was work
ing even greater destruction and get
ting tirmer grip on its victims.
1t has required law putting re-
strictions on the drug traffic to bring
TO light thousands of sufferers who
are flocking to hospitals all over the
land crying out to be saved from the
ing which no longer can be satisfied.
A more pitable spectacle has rare
ly been witnessed than that brought
to light within the past few days
thru the operation of the national
anti-orium act. 1t serves to show
how some of the habits of society
apace without being fully suspected
and those which grow in the shadow
may be worse than these brought to
light.
So far as known no political party
has ever been founded with war on
the drug habit as its slogan aid no
organizations have been formed or
detectives employed in most commu-
mites to ferret out and punish those
guilty of dealing in the deadly COM
modify but. judging by results now
brought to light, such a movement
might well have been begun stimuli
taneously with that against drink, If
not in advance of it. The truth Is
that when it comes to stopping all
the bad habits of society it involves
a pretty hard task.

MAY.

In May the barefoot boy appears,
reminding us Of bygone years when
we, too, suffered all the woes Of
busting brickbats with our toes. The
sweet girl graduate will come and
tell us how the world should run.
Orations on both war and peace will
startle men from Maine to Greece.
Let's hope the kings will comprehend
and bring their present strife to end.
Speaking of war and peace, the
month of May seems always to have
taken a pretty free hand in both: "A
man named Dewey, you will remem-
Der, pulled off quite stunt in Ma
nilla Bay once. IL was May l, seven
teen years ago. The treaty of AK la
Chapelle was signed May 2, 1868.
Chicago's Haymarket riots occurred
in May, 1886. The war god persuad-
ed Diaz it was good time for him
to quit Mexico four years ago this
month. Ticonderoga surrendered
May 10, 1875. The last bloodshed
of the Civil war is said to have been
on May %, 1865, and the first dec
laration of war in the colonies was
made May 2S, 1872. These historical
facts, however, are mere incidents
compared with the real battles the
little Love God is framing up all
over the world this month.
But why talk Of marriage and war,
when both fishing and baseball are
at hand? If Europe had three or
four good baseball leagues she
wouldn't have to go to war to at
tract attention. And if it wasn't for
her inter-marriages the ruling heads
wouldn't have so much to scrap
over. But we should worry over
them; we'll let 'em fight it out, and
then when devastation is their lot
we'll sell 'em everything we've got.
So while 'tis May go SOW the seed to
raise the grain the world will need,
and while we're sowing let us pray
and thank our God for U. S. A.
