TRIALS OF ELECTRIC COMPANY.
New Management Of Hampton Plant

Hampton. Jan. 25.-Since the Cedar

had to be abandoned, it is said, by rea-
son of inability to get material and
workmen: and, third, seeing that the
line could not be made to supply this
vicinity this winter. hurried efforts
were made to put the local plant into
good shape Before boiler of in
creased capacity could be ses the old
ones were almost beyond use and the
service was much interfered with.
About two weeks ago the boiler, of
new and very efficient pattern, was
placed in commission, but few days
later. either by reason of its condition
or improper handling, it too, went out
OF commission.
Accordingly. Saturday night, fires
were drawn and workmen who had
been summoned from Waterloo, COM
menced work to re-flue the big tube
When this Isl completed it is hoped no
further Interruptions to service will be
experienced. Meantime patrons using
electric power have been much incon-
venienced and the city pumping sta
ton has again resorted to steam pow
er. temporarily.

For the women of an earlier time,

they are not only rather readily es-

This is, indeed, broadly true of all eth
les. whose entire emphasis seems to
have changed. The older moralists
occupied themselves with the DIM.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 25.-Tuberculosis
could be eradicated in cattle and hogs
practically if some provision was made
by the legislature requiring the testing
of all suspected herds and providing
for payment by the state for animals
killed, in the opinion of DR.. J. I. Glib
son. state veterinarian. AS it is Iowa
is losing $3,00O.000 a year in lower
prices paid for hogs because packers
are paying on an average of Is per
cent below full market price for the
porkers due to the common prevalence
of tuberculosis.
Experience at the packing houses has
shown that a considerable per cent Of
hogs are affected by tuberculosis and
on an average the prices paid are is
per cent lower than is paid for hogs
in prime condition.
Wants Legislation.
Il am anxious that we get some leg
islation in this state similar to the Hol-
bert bill which passed the house. but
failed to get thru the senate last win
ter" said DR.. Gibson yesterday. I'VE
would need q reasonably good appro-
priation that would enable us to con-
troll and gradually eradicate tubercu
losis in cattle and hogs without maxi
ing it a burden on the taxpayer or rob-
bling. the unfortunate fellow who owns
tubercular cattle and hogs.
Il knew a dairyman in Sioux City a
number Of years ago, who lost all of his
daughters from tuberculosis. When I
tested his herd of cattle about so per
cent had tuberculosis and all but one Of
the animals which reacted were the
progeny of the herd, indicating that the
premises had been for some time hot
bed of tubercular infection"
A movement is now on foot In Wash
ington backed by the secretary of ag-
riculture, to secure an appropriation of
$2,5O0.000 for the eradication of tuber-
culOSiS in cattle.

ESTATE OF DEAD MAN NEAR
SHENANDOAH CAN NOT BE
LOCATED ~ HEIR.
HAS VALUABLE FARM,
DOESN'T KNOW WHERE
Dead Man Leaves Papers and Records
in Tangled condition-Son Locates
$4,000 Worth Of Property With Diff
cuIty-Records at Shenandoah Being

Shenandoah, Jan. 25.-Following the
clew Of torn letter, Benjamin F.
Pierce, of Cassville, Mo-, was here
searching for his fathers lost estate
Mr.. Pierce inherited his fathers prop
erty short time ago, but the records
We're in such condition that he has
only been able to locate portion OF
his inheritance.
Mr.. Pierce believes that he has a
farm somewhere near Shenandoah.
In searching thru his fathers papers
after his death, he found a letter tell
ing OF a 1O0-acre farm. A portion OF
the letter was torn and the remaining
part told of land near "Shenanan-."
With only this as clew, Mr.. Pierce
is looking for his estate somewhere in
this neighborhood.
Mr.. Pierces father died in Cass-
vile on Jan. 8. He left all his prop
erty to his son, but all records Of his
property Were in such condition that
his son has been kept busy since ti.on
trying to locat. various portions Of his
property.
Other Land Missing.
somewhere near SHENANDOAH are
100 acres Of farm land that belonged
to the father. Adjoining them are
eighty acres on which the older Mr.
Pierce had mortgage for $4,000. In
some section of Missouri, there is an
other ninety-acre farm which is lost.
Mr.. Pierce has been quite success
full in getting together good portion
Of his legacy. He has already found
$4,000 which was in various trust
companies. Even this money was
found with difficulty. The will left the
money to him, but where it was to be
found was obscure. For instance,
$4,000, was known to be in trust COM
pany No. 3 and other sums in other
trust companies designated by num-
bers. After a trip to ST. Louis, Mr..
Pierce found the places where the
money was deposited.
Most of one day was spent in Sidney
looking up records in an effort to find
the lost land near Shenandoah He
later went to Clarinda to look up the
records there. Mr.. Pierce is middle
aged man.
