LIFE SENTENCE COMMITTED.
Van Tassel, of Chickasaw County,
Gains Prison Concession.

Des Moines, Ia.-One of the pecu-
liarities of the history of American
jurisprudence is illustrated in the
case of l.. r. Van Tassel Of Chicka-
saw county, whose life sentence for
wife murder was committed by Gov
ernor w. L. Harding to fifty-five
years.
A quarter of century has rolled
by since the northwestern Iowa was
stirred by the story of the Van Tassel
murder. 1t was alleged that Van Tas-
sci murdered his wife thru the adj
ministering of strychnine. He admit
ted purchasing the poison but claim
ed it was for rats and tramp dogs.
The defense claimed that the
woman took the poison while in fit
Of dependency caused by pregnancy.
Van Tassel was convicted after a
long and bitterly contested trial and
given life sentence at Fort Madison.
Once his case was brought before the
general assembly for a legislative
pardon but withdrawn before vote
was taken.
Twice the board of parole made an
adverse report upon a petition for
pardon but the third time consented
to give more favorable consideration.
1t is claimed in Van Tasseps behalf
that in all the years of his incarcera-
ton he has never wavered in his pro-
testations of innocence and thru the
period has been madel prisoner.
These circumstances had much
bearing in the decision in Van Tas-
sells favor. With the usual credit for
good behavior his sentence will al
ready stand as having served forty
six years, and being now placed upon
a parole basis there is chance that
he will soon breathe the atmosphere
of freedom once more.

Red Cross Notes-More Pigs.

The Treasurer is pleased to re-
cord Allen j. Allen, Springfield town
ship, as member of the club, as he
has given a pig. ...-..
Special mention is due to Theo.
and Ole Thorson of Pleasant town-
ship, who subscribed for pigs some
months ago. On second thought they
decided that one pig wasn't enough
to give for both of them, so they
subscribed for another pig, which
makes two pigs from this one farm.
Many thanks.
Ole A. Ramstad of Ridgeway
branch has handed in $35.25 as the
sale price of the pig he donated TO
the club.
Mr. Phil Carolan, DEBORAH RI. No.
3, donated a Red Cross calf some
months ago which he sold at auction
the other day and handed $4,000 to
Treasurer Bear, the proceeds from
the sale of the calf. 1t is splendid
donation to Red Cross, and it is
worthy of note because Mr.. Carolau
is also a member of the Winneshiek

promptly on hand at the time Of
shipment Other cash donations are

FOOD PROFITEERING.
Many Prosecutions for Alleged
Profiteer+ng and Other Offenses.

Provision men have had a difficult
experience under present high price
conditions. The great majority of
them are honest and trying to do the
best they can. Yet the reports of the
food administration suggest that a
considerable minority of them have
been disposed to squeeze the public,
or deal unfairly in various ways.
Take the figures made public by
the Massachusetts food administra-
ton, for instance, which quite likely
are typical of the whole country.
They had 400 prosecutions in the 20
weeks from June to Nov. /, for
alleged profiteering and other Of
fences.
Out of this number, 10 had -four
or sugar. licenses revoked, 81 had
licenses suspended, % were required
to suspend business for stated
periods, % were required to pay
fines and donate them to war re-
lief work, 81 were placed on the rn1
fair list, and 10 were placed OF pro-
baton.
This result indicated that large
number of food dealers are either
careless, or else have deliberately
violated the regulations.
A food dealer in these times has
serious responsibility. He handles
the precious enements that sustain
life, and the world depends upon his
honesty and fairness to distribute
things evenly and to sell at reason
able prices.
The public will impose its penalties
as we'll as the authorities. The rugu-
lations of the food administration
have been intricate, and many deal
.ers have no doubt been UP for small
technical violations that the public
will not take seriously. But demon
strated profteers will find theY have
hurt their own business.
Unfortunately the worst Of the
profiteering is not probably rerpe-
trated by retailers but by the big
dealers. The government will nave to
find more adequate means of deal
ing with them.

KIDNEYS WEAKENING?

Kidney troubles don't disappear OF
themselves. They grow slowly but
steadily, undermining health with
deadly certainty, until you fall vic
tim to incurable disease.
Stop your troubles while there is time.
Don't wait until little pains become big
aches. Don't trife with disease. To
avoid future suffering begin treatment
with GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Cap
sules now. Take three or four every
day until you are entirely free from
pain.
This well-known preparation has been
one OF the national remedies of Hol-

ment of the Netherlands granted a
special charter authorizing its prepara-
ton and sale.

CIRCUIT COURT

Practically all of Monday was taken
up with the case of d. J. Cline against
the Southern railway. After the evil
dence was all in the court directed a
verdict for the defendant.
Tuesday and Wednesday were given
over to the fourth trial Of the case D.
A. Mckenzie VS.. the Southern railroad.
In the action as commenced originally
Holler & HALEY were joint defendants.
At the last previous term Of the court

ley and made a mistrial as to the
Southern railway. This time the
Southern railroad was the only defend
ant. The evidence was about the same
as in previous trial. The jury took the

out all night and had not reported up

All Democrats who fail to enroll

day, will bc denied the privilege oil
voting in the primary.
Heretofore il has been believed that
July 81 was the last day for enroll
mcnt: but this has been discovered 10
hc a mistake. The last day Is July %
The rules of the party say that en-
rollment must be completed on or be-
fore the last Tuesday in July; but
the statute governing the matter says
that enrolment must he completed on
or before the fourth Tuesday in July
The statute Of the state takes prccr-
d,ncc over the rules of the party.
The discrepancy in the dates hNed
by the party rule and the statute mas
only been discovered within the past
few days. and solicitor w. IL. Cobb
acting attorney general, has given II
as his opinion that the statute mus'
prevail over the rule.

registered do so at once.

hopes have not been entertained since
early In the campaign.
That Mr.. McI-aurin is. in our opin-
ion the most thoroughgoing statesman
of his day and generation in South
Carolina. We have said time and again
and we do not hesitate to say it again
We think he has done more for the
people Of South Carolina during the
past ten years than has any other one
man in the state, and we think he is
capable OF doing great deal more il
hc had the opportunity: but now that
is all off.
Mr.. McLaurin had two great ends
in view. One was to better the econo-
mic condition OF the people of South
Carolina through the establishment OF
n just and equitable financial system
that would guarantee TO the producer
his due enjoyment of the products OF
his labor. The other was to break
down and destroy the factionalism
that has so long operated against the
best interest OF the state and bring all
patriotic people together for their
higher welfare.
He was fully capable Of accomplish
ing both OF these ends. more so than

in the matter.
After hearing the explanations OF
Messrs. Derham and Query. the mem :
bers OF the equalization board adopted
n resolution in which they accepted
the action Of the state tax commits
sion and instructed the auditor to pro-
csed with the work OF putting farm
lands on his book at the valuations
proposed by the commission.
II is understood that the increased
assessed valuation applies only TO
farm lands. Other kinds OF real estate
are not included. and neither is cor
porate property.
The state levy as fixed by the gem
eral assembly for this year is 81:
mills on the dollar and the county
levy is 81 3-4 mills on the dollar. The
county levy is to raise about $4,000
for all purposes. the state levy will
raise n few thousand dollars less. The
constitutional mill school tax and
the special school levies will raise ap-
proXimatcly $4,000.
While on a basis OF the increased
| assessed valuation the flexible state
levy may he adjusted to raise the
amount required. and the excess
over county requirements can also he
provided for. the amounts that will
he raised by the special school levies
and the constitutional 8 mill tax will
necessarily bc much larger than they
have been heretofore.
