IOWA STATE NEWS


John w. Stone, aged 80 years, resi-.
dent of Sioux City, walked into the
shoe store of Charles L. Kahler, in Des
Moines, and killed Frank Kahler, son of
the proprietor, and wounded Thomas
Ayres and Cliff Childs, clerks in the es-
Enlistment. Stone was apparently
crazy, as the murder was unprovoked.
He sat about the store for half hour
before committing the crime. Kahler
was about 80 years of age, was married
and had one child. Stone is we'll
known inventor, but worry and disap-
pointment had unbalanced his mind,
and he labored under the hallucination
that attempts were being made to de-
fraud him.

for its strength and beauty. japanese

A very small, arched foot tells of an
arbitrary spirit, pride, elegance and
reserve. Itisrareiy seemexcept in the far

A MYSTERY SOLVED.


Found In n Hotel.
The mystery concerning the disap-
pearance at Des Moines of j. A. Larson,
the foreman of the bindery department
of the Iowa Printing company, was
solved by the finding of his dead body
lying in pool of his own blood in a
room on the fourth floor of the st.
George hotel. When discovered he was
lying face downward on his left side.
There was a bullet hole in his right
temple, while in his right hand was
tightly clasped 32-caliber revolver
with one cartridge used. There was
nothing found in the shape of note to
indicate the cause for the deed, but
from what can be learned from his
friends he had been morose and un-
communicative for several days and did
not seem to be his usual SELF He leaves
a wife and six children, four of the
latter being young men.

HAVE FREE SWING.
New Code LeEitimizes the Business of
Fortune Telling.

Another discrepancy has been found
in the new Iowa code. In the old code
fortune tellers, clairvoyants and the
like were classed as Migrants and pun
'ishable as such. Several days ago the
police officers of Ottumwa compelled a
clairvoyant to leave the city, but since
then they have caught Tartar. When
the police arrested him and took him to
the station he informed them that they
had no right to touch him, as there was
nothing in the new code covering for
tune tellers and clairvoyants. The po-
lice judge looked the matter up and
found that the clause pertaining to for
tune tellers and clairvoyants had been
omitted entirely. Thus the gates are
swung wide.

Miss Minnie Stien, of Chicago, and
Mr.. David Schuman, of New Hampton,
were married in Germania hall in Du-
buque by Rabbi Joseph. A band of mu-
sic was engaged, but failed to be pres
ent at the appointed hour. The bride be-
came uneasy and began to weep bitter
ly and declared she would not be mar
ried without music. A mother in Is
rael said she was right and that mar
riage without music was not good luck.
Finally piano was brought out and a
young lady present played the "Lchen-
grin" wedding march, when the bride
dried her tears and the ceremony pro-
ceeded to n finish,

stoned a Runaway Team.

A novel method of stopping runa-
way team was tried in Dubuque. A
farmers team became frightened and
rushed down the street. A number of
men, recognizing the danger people
would be in if the horses continued
their fight, grasped hands and stood
directly across the street. The effect
was magical. The horses came to an
abrupt stop within four feet of the
line of men.

WANT THE EARTH.

When the foreign ambassadors at
Washington became convinced that
war was imminent they got up a
scheme of quasi or harmless interven-
ton, on paper, in which they persuaded
the Pope TO figure on the side. Concur
rently the press Of Europe accused the
United States with Interior motives,
that the threatened war would prove
one of conquest. Our indignant re-
joinder to this was that we only sought
TO relieve the suffering Cuban
from his CALLING yoke. Following came
the declaration of war, in which it was
prominently set out that there was no
intention upon the part of this gov
eminent to acquire any additional ter
ritory. The Old World derisively roar
ed. Now for the facts. We have been
at war less than two months, in which
time we have planned to take in the
Philippines, Cuba, Porto Rico and
eventually the Canaries and the Span
ish Mediterranean islands. Upon the
heels of all this comes the announce
ment from Washington that the gov
eminent intends to occupy the Caroline
Islands. which islands the Pope as an
arbitrator awarded to Spain in 1887.
when Germany was putting up a claim
for them. The Caroline Islands lie east
of the Philippines and number about
500, with only an area of about 500
square miles and a population Of 80. 900
people. Some American missionaries
there, in the SOS, were outrageously
treated by the Spanish authorities. for
which that country, after much bag
Cling. put up Sl7,50O indemnity. But
there are other grievances; besides the
islands are fertile and constitute a
handy station between Hawaii and
Manila So we viii be compelled to
gather them in. Still, after six weeks
Of war it seems that Europe knew
what we wanted and what we would
be after better than we ourselves knew.

ideas. The men who, in the first place,
systematically inflamed France and
then followed it up with whipping that
country out of possessions and bill
ion dollars in gold is hardly the man
to talk about insincerity. 1t hasn't
been many years ago and while the
present German empire was being in
cubated when half of Europe was
afraid to 60 to bed at night, dreading
that the morning might confront them
with couple Of hundred thousands of
bayonet-s spiked helmets sent there by
the Iron Chancellor and his old chum,
who were figuring to convert king
dom into an empire. Bismarck is not
the man to talk of republican aggress-
tveness. While Hohenzollern wouldn't
have been amounting to much at the
present time but for him, there are two
or three greater nations than the Ger
man empire and the United States of
America is one of them. The Spanish
quarrel was not of our seeking. The
French quarrel was instigated by Bis
marck He fought for glory. money
and German unity. We are fighting for
humanity, for what Bismarck despises,
a representative government and lib
erty.

VIVA EsPANo CON HONOR. "

The Spaniard holds that there can
be no successful warfare in the alb
sence Of strategy, and no strategy
without lying. Deception for the peo-
pie, dishonesty for themselves and all
around treachery, perfdy and turpi-
tude, and there you have the historical
shutting. fshy Spaniard. Falsehood
with the Don is the highest evidence
Of faithfulness. The average Hispano
official lies for a pastime at home and
robs for a living when abroad. He
prevaricates and fails, where truth
might have saved him. No fact can he
put up SO strong, no incident can be
backed up by proof that the Spaniard
won't sneak out Of with a lie.
After Admiral Dewey had annihilated
the Spanish feet in Manila bay, this
unapproachable Spanish liar at first
claimed that Dewey had been defeated:
then, under stress Of circumstances.
declared that Dewey had lost two or
three ships. and finally confessed de-
feat. but CLOSED it over by calling it
glorious but lamentable, or words TO
that effect. After the forts at San
Juan, Porto Rico, had been disnan-
ted by American shells, the liar claimed
that absolutely no damage had been
done, and still sticks to it. After Com
modore Schley had reduced to ruins the
forts at the entrance to Santiago de
Cuba, the liar declared that the Span
ish gunners had forced the Americans
10 retreat and this lie was publicly
rejoiced in as glorious Spanish vic
tory. When Commorore Schley shah
have annihilated Cervera's fleet the
liar Will unquesuonsbly give it out to
the world that the Americans. and not
the Spaniards, were defeated with ter
ribIe losses.
