Theehlefof theMuskwakl Indians in Tama County who recently died under suspicions circumstances Is succeeded by a six year old Indian, Pa-Kee-Ka-Ma Qde. The proclamation announcing his election says: on account of the sad death of our late chief, Mnch-Que Fnsh E-Ta, who suddenly departed this life on the 24th day of October A. D„ 1900, at 10 o'clock p. m. according to th. rules and customs and laws of our tribal, council meeting-was called and after proper tlm. for weeping IP the bushes on the part of relatives and after four daya of careful and serions deliberation In our said council meet ing In wblch about 870 of our tribal peoples took part, A-Saw-Wah-Cah-So, son of Mach-Que-Push-E-Ta'a bro ther, and cousin of onr minor chief, was solemnly selected and named re gent chief during the minority of Much-Que-Push-E-Ta's son and succes sor by the laws and usagee of onr tritx, to-wlt: Pa-Kee-Ka-Ma-Qne, who is now only six years of age, nntil be is 18 years old, at which period such regency shall cease and the said Pa Kea-Ka-Ma Que shall assume full power and con trol If then alive as our chief. The said regent in all that is don. by him shall always act In th. nam. of our young chief, to-wlt, Fa-Kw-Ka-Ma-Qu., Tax Perreta Vnhorsed. Ths tax f«rr*ta have reclvad a knockout in Mlnneaota. In May, 1899, the board of county commissioners ot Blue Earth county enterwl Into a con tract with a tax ferret, whereby the ferret agreed to perform certain servic es In benalf of th. oonnty tn discover ing and bringing to light unassessed personal property taxable In said connty, bat whieh bad escaped such taxation during 1899 and prior years *»nd for which aervleee be was to re ceive compensation equal to one-half of all tataa petd into ttoieovMy-' tieaa uty as the result of hi, labors. The ferret and his assistants discov ered and reported to the connty Aud itor,over two million dollars of personal property that bad escaped taxation, and the same waa entered on the tax rolls, iud taxes to the amount of 915,000 waa collected thereon. An action was then urought by certain of th. tax payers of tbe county to restrain the county from paying for the services so rendered, l'he trial court held that the contract iras void and that the ferret could not recover thereon. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court which affirmed the decision of the trial court holding that Blue Earth oounty had not been given authority by the legislature to make anch a contract. This decision would not, we presume, have any bearing In this state on such contracts entered Into since April 12, 1900, because by an act of the last legis lature which took effect on that date, be making of anch contracts is author ized, the compensation, however, being limited to fifteen per cent, ot the taxeb paid Into the oounty treasury by reason of the services rendered In pursuance of tbe oontraot. It Is a queetlon (and one we believe that Is now pending in the Supreme Court of this ttate) whether tbe owner 'f property withheld from taxation prior co 1898, can be made to pay the t-xes that he ought to have paid thereon. But an act was passed and took effect In 1897 (Code, Section 1374) that un doubtedly authorizes the collection of Uxes on property withheld from assess' ment sinoe October 1897. The following Is the eectlon|clted. in fall When property subject to taxation is withheld, overlooked or from any other cause Is not listed and assessed, the oounty treasurer shall, when apprised thereof, at any time within Ave years from the date at which such assessment should have been made, demand of the person, firm, corporation or other per whom tbe same should have been 1 stfd, or to whom it sIRra'd have been »s essed, or the sdmlni-trator thereof, tbe amount the property hould have been taxed In eaoh year the same was S withheld or overlooked and not listed and assessed, together with six per cent. Interest thereon from the time the taxes woold have become due and payable had such property been listed and asressed, and npou fail ure to pay snch sum within thlrt? with all accrued Interest, be shall cause an action to be brought in the name of the treasurer for the nse of the proper oounty, to be prosecuted by the oounty attorney, or auch other person aa tbe bo»rd of enpervisnra may appoint, and when auch property haa been frasdulent- Iv withheld from asftessment, there shall bn added to the sum found to be dite a penaltv of fifty per cent npon the amount wblch shall be Included In the payment. The amount thns recovered shall be bv the treasurer apportioned MANCHESTER, IOWA.

The whole tendency among consum er* Is toward freBber butter. In Enar •ud and on the continent batter mad. in those countries is served particulaily freab and white, saya the American Ag riculturist. In the best restaurants and hotela In the larger cities of this count ry tbe batter contain^ very little aalt. A great number of Americans who go abroad, or who patronize, city hotels and reetauranta in this country, are ac quiring the taste for fresh butter. The fancy dairies that command extrava gant prices put oat a product that Is al most freah. Creameries that are cater lng to the highest class grocers and the beet family trade now use only half ar such aall as they did five or ten years ago. Dainty Oalvea. Probably anyone who haa ever bad experience with calves has noticed a difference in their feeding, says a cor respondent of Tbe National Stockman. Some are greedy and eat all that is placed before them others are always dainty, I have learned that it rarely pays to "fool" with a dainty calf. Hot ter put it out of the way. will not pay for the fussing. Once dainty al ways dainty, and I have no use for such an animal in tbe dairy. WH ani rows thit will eat heartily—the mote the better—and can size an animal up pretty well by the time It is a month old. Cornmeal is a favprite feed for calvec with some, but it la tco fattening. A dairy calf doee not need to be fat. Time was when a man was ashamed to own a potbellied calf, but i.owada unless caused by something else than eating it is a source of satisfaction rath er. A dairy cow neds commodious paunch, and the cow is but tbe calf grown up. Let tbe heifer calves have lota of roughage. If there Is a scarcity «f clover hay, give them corn stover. They will thrive on it faster the firit few weeks. Oow Beef. A western paper is quoted in th. Chicago Drovers' Journal as sayint that at a meeting of stockmen recentl} they expressed tbe opinou tbat th price of cows when Bold for beef war entirely too low. While nominally classed as "canners" many o' tnem served as irood purpose as b- steer and when well fattened would cut up as well on the block as tbe steer. If this is true, and we see no reason to doubt it, It accords with wbat has been said many times in our dairy not's" that farmers who find themselves sbott of forage this fall and have cows tbi th-) think are so old or give so litre milk tbat it Is doubtful If it would be profitable to buy feed for them should fatten and kill them, Ever since the large packing houses bave been supply ioit our markets with dr ed beef they htve been trying to educate- the people to believe tbat cow beef was not lit to eat, and tbe marketmen bave been ready to assert that tbey bave never iuhira.Vhe'u%«Tou"d^^^'if bandied anything but steer beef.

WHERE PRICES ARE STEADY. !ltKWfr, THE PALACE WAITED. A Ballder'E Bnggestloa Tkat Chang ed the Plane of a Pope. At a time when there was great suf fering among the people from lack of food and when famine In its worst form was threatened Pope Alexander VI had made arrangements for the erection of a magnificent palace. The best architects had been employed, and the plans had been submitted and ac cepted, and an accomplished builder had been sent for to come from Vcnlce, a man whoso work had won for him re nown and who was known to be a tut and upright mau. The builder had arrived, and at an appointed time he watted upon his ho liness to receive the plans and make his estimates. "There is one thing yet to be done," said tho pope. "There has been no proper Inscription or legend thought of to be placed over tbe main entrance of the palace. It should be put abovo the great gate. You have litid experience. Do you think of an Inscription that would be appropriate?" "If your holiness would pardon me for the liberty, I might suggest one most appropriate at this time." "You are pardoned In advance," said the pope, smiling. "Now, what shall It be?" "Sovereign pontiff, let It be thus: 'Command that these stones be made bread I'" The popo was visibly and deeply af fected. He paid the builder munificent ly for his expenses of coming and go ing, and Instead of building his nalace be fed the hungry ones of bis children. —Weekly Bouquet. jf. Harried tlie Day They Met.'

Everybody wears boots in that part of the country, and, aa the story goes, the old fellow had been buying his stock for many years of a manufacturer In a big city not 1,000 miles away. He paid $0 a pair for bis bootSi when be first went Into business, and the maker had con tinued cliarglug him the same figure year after year regardless of the fact that the market price had been steadily going down. The old storekeeper, se cluded from tbe lyorld In his mountain home, never dreamed that he was be ing fleeced and took pride in paying bis bills with clockllke punctuality. "At last, when tbat grade of boots was quoted at $2.50, the manufactur er's conscience smote him,, and he de cided to make amends.
