THE GOPHER BOUNTY
WILL HEREAFTER BE SUBJECT
TO RESTRICTION.

During the past four years Mahas-
ka county has paid for pocket gopher
bounty some $4,000. The present
beard of supervisors have awakened
to the fact that this is a pretty big
price to pay for the little animals,
and have made new rulings about the
payment of said bounty which will re.
strict it to such an extent that those
interested in the work will drop it.
At least such is the hope of the pres
ent board of supervisors.
Persons appearing before the coun-
ty auditor after January 1, 1917, and
claiming gopher bounty will be re-
luired to give positive proof of the
catch, and to have one disinterested
witness to substantiate the proof. A
description of the land upon which
the gopher was caught will be re-
CURED and proof must be furnished
that they were caught within the
preceding thirty days. The claim
ant must also be owner of the land
upon which the gopher was caught.
The first Monday in each month will
be set aside for receiving gopher
bounty claims, and the county audi
tor is instructed to receive or accept
no proof upon any other day during
said month. The twenty-five cents
bounty on ground hogs was repealed
by the supervisors, and henceforth
there will be no bounty paid upon
them.
The $4,000 spent by the county for
gopher bounty in the past four years
exceeds the amount spent for county
school books for use in the rural
schools, by several thousand dollars
A rough estimate puts the amount
spent for school books at about $4,000
during the four years.

Johnson WILL BROKEN
STELLA oSWANDLE WILL SHARE
EQUALLY WITH OTHERS.

Arguments by the attorneys in the
Thomas Johnson will case which has
been occupying the attention of the
district court for the past two weeks
was finished yesterday, the jury in
structed by the Judge and sent to the
jury room to find a verdict. The jury
left the court room about fiye-forty
o'clock last evening. and returned
with a verdict for the contestant of
the will about eightthirty o'clock,
having been out just about three
hours. The verdict returned gives the
contestant the right to break the will
and the codicile, thus providing for
a division of the 100000 estate into
share and share alike. The will as it
stood before the suit in court gave
Stella Oswandle, a daughter, only
$4,000, and she now receives some
thing like $4,000. The jury returned
the above verdict on the ground that
Mr.. Johnson was suffering from sen
lie decay at the time the will and CO.
dicile were made, and that he was
physically and mentally unable to at
tend to business.
The court was busy this morning
getting a jury for the case of Moses

BRIDGE AT EDDYVILLE
Is Likely to Be Damaged By Chang

EddyviIIe Booster: The matter OF
the changing current of the Des

Eddyville Unless something is done.
and done at once, the next high water
may tear a new channel across the
Bridgeport bottoms and leave the
Eddyville bridge standing a monu-
ment to inaction, with Eddyville an
inland town. That this is not a
groundless fear, can easily be real
lied by any one who takes the trouble
to look the matter over All but
narrow strip of the broad cornfeld
which twenty years ago laid between
the river and the Bridgeport road, is
now river bed while the old river
bed is now sand and gravel-bar, piled
up and firmly held against erosion
by matted growth of willows. And
along the north bank of the river,
where since the first coming of white
settlers, ran the deep channel, is now
oahu bdl. lOl
main channel, between the first and
second piers of the railroad bridge has
entirely filled in and the "old swim
min hole" is now high and dry.
If the new channel should be cut
across the Bridgeport bottom, it would
necessitate the building of a new wag-
on bridge and new railroad bridge
in Monroe county or an immense
amount of reconstruction work and
diking to force the river back into the
old channel with a more imminent
hazard of it's recurrence at every fu-
ture high-water
Something should be done and done
at once. With the election of an Ed
dyville member to the Wapello county
board of supervisors, it should not be
difficult matter to get some immed-
late relief. One or more substantial
wing dams or barrages should be con-
structed below the mouth of Grays
to the old channel. and to cut out the
accumulated sand and debris. 1t
should be done yet this fall to head
off any possible danger from the eff
fects of the spring freshets. To put
in this barrage at the present time.

| be done at fraction of the cost OF
repairing the damage after it was
INCREASINGLY too late. Now is the &C.
cepted time. 1t is up to Eddyville to
demand action. There was over
$4,000 spent on bridges in Wapello
county last year. Why not spend

Washington, d. c., Nov. 1S.-Presi
dent Wilson has formally by procla
nation designated Thursday, Nov. 80
as Thanksgiving day.
Here follows the presidents proc.
lamation:
1T has long been the custom of
our people to turn, in the fruitful
autumn of the year, in praise and
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His many blessings and mercies to
us and the nation.
The year that has elapsed since
we last observed our day of thanks
giving has been rich in blessings to
us as people but the whole face of
the world has been darkened by war.
In the midst of our peace and happi-
ness, our thoughts dwell with painful
disquiet upon the struggles and suf-
ferings of the nations at war and of
the peoples upon whom war has
brought disaster without choice or
possibility of escape on their part
We cannot think of our own happi-
ness without thinking of their pitiful
distress.
Now, therefore, /, Woodrow Will
son, president of the United States
of America, do appoint Thursday, the
thirtieth of November, as day of
Thanksgiving and prayer

MONAST|R IN RUINS;
ALL|ESPURSUEFOES
Unable TO Enter Town Owing to
Fire and Explosions.
TEUToNs STILL IN RETREAT
Paris Declares Entente Troops Have
Occupied Several More Villages
North Of Captured
City.

London, Nov. 21.-The victory OF
General Sarrail's armies on the west
ern end of the Macedonian front, which
resulted in the capture of Monastir, is
being vigorously followed up.
The German-Bulgarian forces, which
evacuated the city as the result of the
successful thanking movement by the
French and Serbians, are still in full
retreat, Paris reports, and are being re-
lentlessly pursued. Already several
towns north of Monastir have been
taken by entente troops pushing out
from the city, besides prisoners and
war material.
Press dispatches depict MOnastir as
virtually destroyed by fire and explo-
sions and deserted BY the population
and describe the retreat of its defend
ers as a rout. Berlin, however, asserts
the new positions chosen north of Mon
astir We're occupied without entente
pressure being felt, and adds that fresh
German forces have arrived on the
scene. 1t asserts further that Serbian
attempts TO advance along the Mogle-
MICA front east of the MOnastir region
were defeated.
Pursue Retreatina Teuton Troops.
The retreat of the German-Bulgariau
force from Monastir in the direction of
Prilep is a debacle, says a dispatch TO
the Wireless Press from Rome. The
entente troops are pursuing the fleeing
foe and have occupied villages north of
Monastir, taking prisoners as thye adj
vanced, the dispatch adds.
The Serbians, according TO these re-
ports, are delaying entering Monasdr
because of the fire and explosions.
Get Lions Share of Credit.
The Serbians are given the lion
share of honor by the morning newspa.
pers in discussing the victory at Mon
astir. The capture of hill 1912 by the
Serbians and their rapid advance to
hill 1875, threatening the Bulgarians'
only avenue of retreat along the Prilep|
road, are considered the principal fac
tors in forcing the hasty evacuation of
the city.
Allies Win Along Big Front.
Paris, Nov. 21.--Allied troops have
been completely victorious on the
Macedonian front from the River Cerna
TO Lake Presba, according to announce
ment made by the French var office.
The allies success eliminated with
the entrance of French cavalry into
Monastir. French troops moved out to
the north of MOnastir and captured
hill No. S21 and other villages in this
vicinity. They also took 62O prisoners
and a considerable quantity of war ma
terial.
Germans Take New Positions
Berlin (by wireless to SayvlIle, l..
IL, Nov. 21.-New German formations
have reached the Macedonian front, it
is announced officially. The new posi-
tons north of MOnastir were taken up
without pressure from the allies. Ser.
bian advances in the MOglenica region
were repulsed.
The announcement is as follows:
"The new positions north of Monas-
tir were occupied without pressure
from the enemy. New German forces
have arrived at the lighting zone.
''0n the Moglenica front Serbian adj
yances near Rahova and Tusin were re-
pulsed by the BuIgarians."
