Killed Two Big Rattlers.

August Peterson, the stone mason,
had a ratt,esnake experience out in
Ludlow township last Thursday
which he will not soon forget. He
finished up a job for Charley Pausch
at noon and decided to put in the al
ternoon hunting ginseng roots. He
was in the Pappoose creek valley on
the Carl Dewitt farm industriously
searching for the roots when out of
hole in the rocks close to him Gid
ed two monster rattlesnakes, having
evidently heard his approach. While
he was. looking around for a weapon
with which to attack them, the larg-
err one charged him and he made a
strategic retreat until he could find
club with which he returned and
dispatched both reptiles. The larger
one, he says, was six feet long AID
had eleven rattles and button. The
Iother Twas somewhat smaller. In
killing it he broke its rattles, but
thinks ii had about ten He was show
ing the rattles to substantiate his
story.-Allamakee Journal.

Lauritz Haugen son CT Hon. G. n.
Haugen, lowa's fourth district con.
gresham, has enlisted, and the fol-
lowing Washington dispatch will be
read with interest by DEBORAH and
Winneshiek county friends. 1t is
self evident that Lauritz is a good red
| blooded American and is anxious TO
do his bit for the good of the best
country on the face of the earth. The
dispatch follows:
Laurltz Haugen, son of Congress
man Haugen of the fourth district,
enlisted in the army flying corps when
he was drawn so far down in the
! draft that he found he would not be
called cut with the first levy. He is
now at a ground school in Texas
learning the mechanics of flying. If
successful he will be commissioned
a first lieutenant in the army of flyers
the United States plans to send
abroad to carry the war to Berlin.
Congressman Haugen knew nothing
of his sons plans and he does not
know where he has been assigned to
! duty by the war department. Young
Haugen was in Iowa with his father
recently and returned to Washington
before the congressman got back.
When the latter reached the capital
he learned his son had found a way to
get into the fight sooner than he
would have been abe TO get action
through the draft.
Lauritz Haugen gave up plans for
a law practice when he joined the
army flyers. He had been admitted
TO all the bars of the District of Col
umbia except the United States SUI
preme court and was planning to
hang out his single.
But he decided he desired more to
get into the scrap over there and
he joined the branch Of the service
THAT is most certain to see service in
France. .-..-
Young HaugeI is well grounded in
Engineering and knows motors thor
toughly. This knowledge, and his
ability as linQuist army officers be-
lieve vii, make good.

as the result Of the operation for the
first year of the West fee bill, ac-
cording to the report made the state
fee commission, composed of Govern
or Stuart, State Auditor C. Lee
Moore and State Accountant W.
Frank Smyth. This amount repre-
sents fees collected by officers in eX-
cess of the allowances and expenses
allowed by the law. Due to certain
provisions of the statute. the amount
is small, but next year the fees to be
diverted into the treasury of the state
will exceed the figure for 1916 by a
considerable amount.
Of the total amount a refund will
be made by only one treasurer, this
being $9,116.70 Commissioners of
the revenue will refund $5,86S. sd,
this coming from two officers; court
clerks, $15,946.09, and sergeants, 81

from any sheriff or examiner of the
records. In the majority of instan-
ces the fees collected during the year
were below the allowance and eX..
7cnses under the law, in numerous
cases the fees being less than 25
per cent of the amount. Except in
four instances the excess fees are in
he cities.
The allowances which may be re-
tanned under the law, are as follows:
Counties were the population is under
1000, the allowance is $4,000; be-
tweent $4,000 and $4,000 population,
