Johnton was found working for a
farmer named Davis near Quick, about
fourteen miles east of Council Bluffs and
when taken Into custody by Officer Smith
admitted he was tho man wanted, but was
surprised to learn that Paxton was dead.
Little of the affair which led to the
chargo of murder being placed ii gain it
Johnson la known hero except the account
given by tho young man himself. Johnson
Is a married man -'6 years old and
formerly resided with his family on a farm
near Nevada. Paxton was employed by n
contractor, baling hay, and on July 3 was
working on a farm adjoining that or
Johnson. According to Johnson's account
of the trouble he had occasion to cross the
field In which Paxton was working. Pax-
ton commenced to abuse him nnd Johnson
told him to desist. Paxton, Johnson says,
started after him with a knife and he.
Johnson, defended himself with a piece of
board nbout two feet long which ho was
taking homo to make a lever out of for
his mowing machine. Johnson struck Pax
ton over the head with tho board and
gave him several blows before he finally
felled him to tho ground. Seeing thnt as
sistance was nt hand for Paxton. Johnson
left him lying in the field and went to
his homo, never expecting, ho says, that
he had Inflteted fatnl Injuries on tho man.
This happened on the nfternoon of July
3. Tho next day Johnson, expecting to be
arrested for nssnult and anticipating a line,
decided to leave homo until the trouble
blew over. Bidding his wife nnd two
children goodbye ho started for Council
Bluffs nnd on July B went to work on the
farm where ho was found yesterday by
Omecr Smith.
Paxton died the morning of July C, It
Is said, from the Injuries to his head re
ceived nt tho hnnds of Johnson. From a
private source Detective Smith learned
that Johnson was nt the Davis farm near
Quick and experienced no difficulty In
locating his man. Johnson snld as ho was

to that of weather and crops and Iowa
peoplo arc anxiously looking for signs of
n change In tho weather that will save the
crops and mnku life more tolerable.
Tho record of the weather to this (line
and for tho season has never been equaled.
Such a long continued heated term was
never known and the revelation of tho
United States weather office Indicate inoro
than anything else the extraordinary
charneter of the season. The thermometer
went nbovo 100 today nnd this made the
sixth consecutive day with the thermometer
nbovo 100. Up to and including yesterday,
commencing June 23, there had been threo
weeks of extreme hot weather without 'nny
relief. Tho thermometer went above 80
every day and most of the time above t0.
Tho average maximum tcmpcraturo for
tho threo weeks was Wl.-t degrees. Tho

Tho previous record for continued hot
weather for long period was In July, ISSi,
beginning the tenth nnd ending the thirty
first, when for twonty-ono consecutive
dnys tho averago maximum temperature
was 02.8. Never until last Friday had
there been moro than three consecutive
days at this station with tho thermometer
renchlng 100. Threo hot days were
grouped together tn ISSti, ns follows: July
4, 102.1; July 5, 101.3; July C. 104.1.
Slnco tho weather station was estab
lished In De3 Moines. August 1, 1S78, there
havo never been but twenty days, In
cluding today, with the thermometer
reaching 100 or over and of these six are In
this bunch ending today and the fourteen
others aro scattered through twenty-thrco
years.
Uuefitlon of Stnte Aeeoiuiti.
For more than a year nn expert book
keeper nnd an assistant have been employed
by tho state cxccutlvo council to go through
the accounts ot all state ofllccB und report
wherein thcro might be Improvement in the
methods of keeping accounts, etc. Tho re
port of tho commission was Hied many
weeks ngo, but has been withheld until tho
present time. Tho report Is moro exhaus
tive than desired by the, council nnd covers
some matters which it was not intended
should 'be covered.
Tho most lntcrcstlng'iltom In tho report
relates to tho payments for binding stato
pamphlets and bookH the Inst two or three
years. Tho report 'shows that on certain
Jobs there was paid for binding by the
stato $4,798.33 moro than,, In tho opinion of
tho accountants, was contemplated by law,
tho difference being In that certain books
and reports were bound differently from
what wns contemplated by n strict following
of tho statute. Lafo Young, formerly stato
binder, appeared beforo the council and
filed a Btntemont that, briefly, tho work was
done In accordance with Instructions ot
members of tho council, who woro supposed
to have tho authority to decide how tho
work should be donu. This alleged over
chargo makes no nccount of shortages on
other Items of work dono.
The council granted further time for con
sldorntlon of the subject of tho responst
blltty for the binding bills and placed tho
matter In tho hands of tho attorney genorat
Tho report found soma few small discrepan
cies In the accounts of former Secretary of
State O. L. Dobson and recommended that
thoy be corrected now. It recommends
that tho laws relating to printing and bind
ing be completely revised.
Thero has been a demand for many years
that the present system of securing tho
stato printing bo done away with, and tho
report will go to the legislature for action
Tho accounts of the oil Inspectors are
sharply criticised by tho nccountants. They
found that In tho year 1900 there was re
celved for oil Inspection In the stato $10,
114.96, and In the same tlmo the stato got
only $11,011,36. Tho remainder went for
salaries and expenses of tho Inspectors.
Criticism Is made of affairs In tho ofllco of
tho stato mine Inspectors and tho State
Board of Health; n new system of book
keeping Is reported for the consolidated
state library and historical department; tho
stnto treasurer's office Is commended for
tho admlrnble system of bookkeeping undor
John Herrlott, and the work of tho sccre
tnry of the exccutlvo council In revising tho
accountB of tho departments Is commended.
The expert accountants have yet to go over
the accounts of tho Stalo Board of Control,
which will take tljem sovcral months.

One more Iowa county has been well
started In tho matter of securing school
libraries for tho rural schools and thoso
In tho small towns and this by tho gen
erosity of an almost unknown philan
thropist, who hns been quietly working
along original lines for a number of years.
This la Webster county and the man who
has glvon the library movomont an Im
petus' Is Georgo W. Srhco of O'Brien
county, formerly n member of tho legisla
ture and an oxtcnelvc land owner In
northwestern Iowa. Some tlmo last fall
the county superintendent, A. L. Brown,
nrtnnnnnn h on ,i,mnvmniiR imn n rfi rr nr
' l TiV", J .. , . f
raising certain sums In suppport of school
libraries In that county. The schools en
tered Into n contest as to which ono should
raise the most money locnlly for u library.
As a result prlies were distributed recently
as follows: Thirty dollars to No, 7, Itolnnd
township, on raising $t!1.40; $2i" to No, 3,
Cooper, for $37.10; $20 to No. 4, Douglas, on
$37; $15 to No. 2. Badger, on 53G.S5. Twenty
one other schools received $10 each and
forty other hchools raised money for start
ing rural school llbrnrles. but not suffi
cient to get prizes. In this manner prac
tically overy rural school In tho county
wns encouraged to start a school library.
Tho namo of tho donor, Mr. Schco, has
Just been announced and he hah pledged
himself to give $in to every school raising
$25 next fceaton and not getting any prize
this year. The total amount raised by
rural schools In tho county was $969.40.
Mr. Scheo gave $350. town schools raised
$221. SO and thero was raised for llbrarle
In. tho county by taxation $3S5.H1. Tho
samo system of onrouraslng tho establish
ment of school libraries has been adopted
elsewhere, but In fow places with such
marked success.

The fnmous Rush park nt Independence
which was built by O. W. Williams when
he was owner of Axtcl nnd Allerton nnd
contained tho first kite-shaped mllo traek
In tho west, Is to be abandoned ns a rnelns
park. A race meeting had been arranged
for this week, but the meeting has been
called off, ns none of the closins tilled In
In n sntlrfectory manner. It Is prob
ahle that the park and track will be closed
forever fcr racing nnd ho put to other
tiSis. The entries for a rncc meeting In
Dcs Moines this week have been good and
the prospect Is fine for n race meeting
with fine horses and good time.
1,)' C'l'lniei .More Iiixuiilt y,
Tho reports of tho Stnte Board of Control
show that crime is on the decrease In
Iowa, or rather that convictions nre fewer
nnd that insanity is on the Increase
steadily. In two years, tho number of in
snno In the slate hospitals hns Increased
n total of 341. and If to this should bo ndded
the Incronse In tho number of Insane In
county and private hospitals and nsylums
tho showing would be startling. No ex
planation Ik possible of this surprising In
crease In tho number of Insane persons, but
the list nppcars to be growing all the time.
At the same tlmo there are between 200
and 300 Insane persons out on parole nil
tho time. In the same biennial period the
number of girts In tho stnte reformatory
Increased by seventeen nnd the number of
boys by threo. In tho two penitentiaries
tho net decrease In two years was 2,hi, due
to somo extent to n moro liberal pollny In
tho matter of pardons or paroles, but nlso
to the fact that crime Is less frequent In
tho state.
FneliiK n Deficit.
The management of the Midland Chau
tauqua, which has two days more to run,
Is facing a deficit In finances which will
probably amount to between $1,000 and $2,-
000. The association wns disappointed in
somo of tho lecturers who were to bo
present, notnbly Governor LnFollctto.
Senator Burton, Dr. Gunsnulus and Dr.
Sweney; but tfcio chief cause of the short
age In funds Is tho extreme hot weather,
which has cut down the attendance ma
terially. It Is probable thero will be com
plete reorganization of the association be
foro nnother year or abandonment of tho
project. Tho Chautauqua assemblies In
Wntcrloo and Humboldt havo commenced
under more favorable auspices this year.
Tux Ferret llenten,
Judgo Applegato has rendered a decision
In Dallas county on a tax ferret caso ad
verse to the ferrets and somewhat con
trary to tho decisions which havo been
rendered In other parts of tho state. Tho
caso was ono Involving several of tho banks
tn Dallns county nnd nlso the estate of the
late Ellas Cadwoll. Tho tax ferrets
claimed $14,000 duo from tho estate on
property concealed from tho assessors In
years previous to 1S97. The court holds
that this ennnot be collected ns tho code
waB adopted tn that year and thero Is noth
Ing In tno law to Inillcntc that It should be
considered retroactive. Other courts havo
held that tho law, whllo not being retro
active In nature. Is so In effect ns being
a method of correcting old assessments.
Judgo Applegato has held with tho tax
ferrets Ir. tho cases against banks In
Perry, Dexter and Adel, whero tho sums
Involved are recent.
