Fell 40 Feet to His Death.

George w. Day young unmarried
man living with his parents near High
land Park stepped into the shaft of the
Lake Park mine on Tuesday night at 10
o'clock and fell 140 feet to his death.
The horrible affair was apparently
purely accidental The shaft house
door was closed when Day, who was
about the place with number of COM
panions, approached it. He opened the
door and leaped into the shaft suppos-
ing, it is presumed, that the cage was at
the top of the shaft. Instead there was
no cage there and the young man fell to
the bottom of the hole, 140 feet.
Assistance was summoned immediate
ly and men went ito the bottom OF the
shaft where the body was found horribly
mangled. The neck was broken and the
body was otherwise badly injured.
Death was of course instantaneous.
Coroner Ankeny was summoned and
went to the mine where he impanelled
a jury composed of Charles Menges, j. E.
Pearson and j. Bookhout. 1t was the
intention to remove the body to the
home OF the young mans parents
who reside north of the city.
They are farmers. Day was not an en-
ploye of the mine and his presence there
with the crowd with which he was at the
time of his death is not explained fully.
He was however we'll acquainted with
the mine and in the COMMUNICATED
nesday's Daily Register.
George Day was the youngest of two
brothers of L. n. Day, of this city. Mrs.
Day left for Des Moines on Wednesday
morning and was joined at Atlantic by
her husband. The funeral will probably
be held Thursday.

From the Iowa Capital Of March We
take the following: Davenport society
is greatly excited over the elopement Of
two prominent young people. The
parties are r. b. Cook and Miss Eleanor
Spelletich. The young man in the case
is the son of E. E. Cook, a prominent
attorney with a statewide reputation,
and is lawyer of great promise him
self. He leaves wife and two young
children, the former of whom is pros
strated with grief. Miss Spelletich is a
young lady of wide acquaintance among
society people and has borne agood repu.
tation. Nothing is known Of their where
abouts. The first known of the elop-
ment was Monday morning, when Mrs.
Cook received letter from her hus-
band stating that she would never see
him again" Mrs. Cook will be remem-
bered here as Miss Myrtle Gleason and
many friends of the Gleason family will
sympathize with her in this most unfor-
tunate and sad trouble.

the city election last onday, Edward
s. Lloyd, the preset recorder, was a cam
didate for re-ele'ticn and his opponent
was Henry Siever iievers received IS
more votes than LhSd. Lloyd now

only 70 years of age hat he il not eligi-
BILE to the office. and that he Lloyd is
the only eligible candidate for whom
votes were cast that he is entitled to the
Office for the ens,ing term. Lloyd. he

Quarantine Observance,

At the request of some of the city
board of health officers we print the fol-
lowing from the Council Bluffs Non
pariel. While at present, there are no
cases of quarantine in Audubon, it is
not unusual to have them, and the local
board has oftimes in the past found
difficulty in the enforcement of the
health regulations:
More than one worthy citizen and
more than one faithful matron are hoty
opposed to having the board of health
tack card on the door. Someway, they
feel that it is disgrace to have the an
nouncement made that there are measles
within. Others object, because of the
consequent restriction of social freedom,
others don't want to be bothered by hav-
ing all the children kept out OF school,
disturbing the quiet Of home by their
imprisoned activities. Some, from one
motive or another, or from all together,
those who would be angered if charged
with being lawless citizens, either openly
defy the law or deceitfully evade it.
There things worse than that card on
the door. The demoralizing effect of
lying and lawbreaking is worse for the
family than the measles. The example
of parents in disobeying rightful author
ity cannot but encourage children to re-
sist the exercise of authority. whenever
such exercise interferes in any way with
their plans or purposes.
If it is right for father and mother to
disobey, why not right for children to
disobey? If it is right for the parents
to deceive, how can they complain il the
children deceive them.
Then there is the disregard of the
such deplorable condition of con
science as to cause loss Of self-respect
and loss of the respect Of others. Chill
dren are sent to school knowing that
they they thereby carry and scatter
germs of disease into other households,
without regard to the probable conse-
quences of suffering and the possible re-
suit Of death. Such violation of the
health laws is not necessarily malicious
but it is so needless and selfish as to
merit the sharpest rebuke. That such
action is simply for the sake Of protect
ing false pride, for the avoidance Of per-
sonal annoyance, :nd for selfish indul-
gence, does not relieve it of any of its
evil force.
The health laws are the expressed
judgment of those who have the author
ity and wisdom to decide what is the
greatest good for the greatest number.
Personal convenience and private opin.
ions must yield That is one OF the con-
ditions by which one shares in the pro
lection and privileges afforded by organ
lied society. Law should be recognized
until revoked. and those who evade or
disobey are not only harming others, but
themselves.

Berries Ball.

Up, up, up it goes, and down. dow
down it comes" sang BERTHE Brown, al
he tossed his rubber ball up against the
house and caught it again.
up, up" he began once more, ane
sure enough it did go up this time;
away up on top of the porch. Bertia
waited to see if he could say, down
down." but he couldn't, for the bal
didn't; it stayed up there.
BERTHE stood around and waited
awhile, but finally concluded to go anC
play horse with Sam Clark, who lived
next door, and ask papa to get the bal
when he came home
But when papa came he told Der.
tie that there was no way to get the
ball then. He would have to wait til
the storm windows upstairs were taker
of, for he had no ladder long enough
to reach up to the roof.
|. BERTHE missed his ball. for he wa:
very fond of it. and the worst of it was
that he could see it from his mammals
window upstairs.
One dav while mamma was DRESSING
he stood looking out of the window and
wishing. oh. so hard, that he could get
his ball. when a little snowbird came
fluttering down to the roof, peeped in
at the window. and then hoped right
upon the ball. 1t gave a little roll
which must have frightened the bird
for with a swift motion it sped away
and the ball rolled softly over the
edge of the porch and dropped to the
ground You can scarcely imagine how
surprised BERTHE was. He ran down to
the yard in twinkling. and there was
his ball in little nest of dry leaves.
He has always felt very sure that the
snowbird knew how much he was wish
ing for the ball. for this is true story,
md how else can you account for what
the little bird did?-Julia barrow

often rode with her father on his daily
rounds Of visits in town and country,
and thus early acquired an insight into
the lives of the people that has been in
valuable to her. When in later years
the singular experience of sanctifica-
ton took complete possession of GER
tain little community in which she was
interested, it was but natural that she
should put pen to paper and tell about
the ludicrOus and the pathetic Incl
dents that thrilled the simple hearts
in the sanctified town. 1t was equally
natural that so young girl should be
doubtful of her own powers.
At the suggestion of a friend, Miss
Furman sent some of her stories TO
James Whitcomb Riley, whom she has
never met. Surely no more cheering
and helpful words were ever written in
reply by famous writer to one just
beginning the hazardous path of au
thOrship: and though Miss Furman
has had many laudatory letters since
her book appeared, there is not one OF
them that she cherishes as she does
the first from Mr.. Riley, bidding her
godspeed.
The first stories she wrote were pub
lished by the Century Magazine. The
Century Company issued her first and
only volume, Stories of a Sanctified
Town."
Miss Furman has been for several
years a resident of Evansville.
