John H. Lyons, a man thirty or thirty five years of age, of Charles City, accompanied by Walter Hardman, of the same place, and Leon Leisenberg, of Mason City, lads about seventeen 3 ears of age, blew into town on the 4:35 train Saturday bent on having a good time, with the aisst- ance of some of the amber fluid dispensed on Midway. But they missed their guess and before they got out of town Lyons got 30 days in the county jail and the two boys got a good scare. When the oil the train they hiked straight to Jahr's saloon where they met their first disappointment for Bartender Geo. Hamm to sell the two boys, any liquid lefresh- ments as they were rnnms In the meantime Nightwatch Noble 'i id gotten his eye on them and when a short time after he saw the three go around behind the depot he suspected that Lyons had secured some booze and was giving it to the boys.

So he quietly slipped through the freight depot and came upon them just as they were "spoiling" a bottle. He placed Lyons under airest and walked him off to jail, instructing the boys to tollow. After was locked up tne two boys were taken before Mayor Morse, and upon being questioned they confessed that Lyons had bought the beer, ten bottles, and sold it to them. Information was sworn out against Lyons charging him with bootlegging, and at the trial that evening he pleaded guilty and wab sentenced to pay a fine of 6100 or 30 days in jail, and of necessity he took the latter and is now the county jail at New Hampton, he was taken by Marshal Kezar Sunday. The two boys were relieved of the beer which they had in their grips and after some wholesome advice from the mayor were instructed to head for home on the o'clock train, which they did without any urging.

Lyons is the third Charles City citizen who within the past few weeks has tasted of Nashua justice as dispensed by Mayor Morse. There has been quite a good deal of this business going on here, by local talent and parties from Charles City, and the time is coming when others are going to get caught, and when they do get caught they can rest assured that Mayor E. S. Morse will be deelighted" to give them all that is coming to them. Likes it in California.

Wm. A. Meier, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Meier of this city, and who for the past few years has been living near Porterville, in a letter to the editors of this paper expresses himself as well satisfied with his home on the Pacific coast.

Mr. Meier says: "I am still in California and would not change the west for the east, even if it is hot here. It has been 116 in the shade, yet it does not seem as hot to me here at that as it did in the east at 100- There is always a breeze here, night and day. The orange crop looks fine, and we have had some early fruit. The earliest fruit here is a specie of plum called loquat which ripens the first part of May.

In the latter part of May the first first peaches are ripe. We also had ripe tomatoes in May, from old vines. My address is now Piano, Tulor county, and the star route delivers my mail at my door." A Remarkable Stalk of Corn. The following reaiarkable story of the most thrifty stalk of corn ever grown comes from Rockwell, in Cerro Gordo county. The story sounds big: "Rockweil claims the possession of Ihe most thrifty stalk of corn in all Iowa.

On exhibition in a store there is a stalk of corn containing eighteen of corn, of normal size and silked ready for maturity. The stalk was grown on a piece of leased land near the town and it is said nothing 1 like 11 has been seen in corn growing." Will Test Contains Disease Law. Dr. M. A.

Beach, of Slratford, has served notice on the board of supervisors of Hamilton county that he will bring suit against them at the October term of court, claiming $165 for services rendered in contagious disease cases. The board allowed him $60 for these services and he refused it. The case is a small one, bnt will be a test of the new Iowa law passed last win- tor and which the county, district and state physicians' associations bold makes every county in Iowa liable for physicians' fees in every case of contagion they attend. "They noM that tills liability regardless of whether UK patient is willing or able to pay the bill, in other wonta afflicted with oontitjkm 4h- pay their doctor even if they want to, but that the county is absolutely required to meet these bills. The county will light Beach's bill on several grounds.

Included in it is a charge for disinfecting a school house, which the county contends should have been paid bj the school district. Also the doctor chaiged vi for every made, and is claimed that all patients visited were within UIP corporate limits of Stratford. The county Will contend that this is too much Also it will be held by the county that the law that the eouiit) shall be liable only in caes where cases become county charges. The oufcome of tlip ease will be watched with much interest in every county in the state It will probobly go to the supreme court. Father and Som Eaon Lose Arm in a Thresher.

Ray Banner, of bhell Rock, aged 27, had the flesh and muscles stripped from the bone of hib left arm between- the elbow and shoulder Monday afternoon of last week by getting it caught in the cogs of a threshing machine he was operating. The limb is permanently disabled, and the accident is more distressing because he depended upon hia labor for a Ihlihood. Hanner was at work on the Peterson farm two miles south of Shell Rock at the time With his father he had been running a threshing outfit and had just started in the season. His arm was drawn into the cogs by clothing getting caught, and tne liipb was not released until the injuries above mentioned had been inflicted. The victim has been a resident of Shell Rock for several years and two weeks ago was marned there.

Since the above item was put in type a similar accident has befallen the father, as is shown by the following dispatch from Shell Rock under date of Aug. 7: Allen Hanner, aged 50 years, a farmer residing near Waverly Junction, was the victim of a frightful accident late Thursday afternoon when his arm was so badly mangled in a threshing machine that it was necessary to amputate it above the elbow. It was only a few days ago that a son of Mr. Hanner had an arm crushed in the same machine. TJlie father's right arm was caught by the belting and dragged into the machine.

He was taken to the hospital at Waverly where the operation was performed. Sheriffs to Sue for Salaries. A Webster City dispatch states that the Iowa Sheriffs' association hfs plans afoot to bring suits against practically ery conntj in Iowa. These suits, involving tens of thousands of dollars, will be brought by the sheriffs of the respective counties and will be claims for portions of alleged unpaid back salaries for five years, the statute of limitations barring claims older than this. It is claimed that in counties where the shsriff has but one deputy, which includes most of the counties of the state, the salary of the deputy should be paid by the county.

Each sheriff now pays his deputy from his, own salary, and the claim is now made that these officials should pay deputy salary only where they have more than one. A involving this point has just been tried in Faj etle county and the sheriff won. It is the decision of the Fayette county court that forms the basis for the action of the state sheriffs' association. The Fayette case has been appealed to tbe supreme court, and the state association of sheriffs has decided to fight the case there to a standstill. In case the lower court is sustained, actions against practically every county in the state will follow.

Charles City Hants Utcrirkan. A Charles City dispatch of August 6 says: A conference was held here Wednesday afternoon between a party of New York capitalists and delegations from the commercial clubs of Charles City, Greene, Allison, ersbnrg and other places relative to the construction of an electric line from Charles City to Des Moines via Marshailiown. The meeting was harmonious and enthusiastic. Toe route of the proposed line lies through the towns of Greene, Allison, Park- ersbnrg, Grnndy Center and Conrad into Marsballtown, from which place it will probably extend to Des Moines. Tne ninety miles from Charles City to Marsballtown will cost in the neighborhood of two million dollars.

If the committees are favorably impressed with the as seem likely, the entire party will nwke a tovr of the route by Bug Damages Corn, L. L. Parker of near Greeley was in the city on Saturday and i epoi ted that what is known as the Oklahoma bug or louse has made its appearance corn fields in that section, this being advanced as a reason for the unevenness of the corn. It is also reported that the wireworm has been busy in some sections. The Oklahoma insect is green in color.
