Columbus, o., Nov. IA special to
the Dispatch from Canal Dover, o., says:
Another discovery of gold is an
nounced in the Malvern district near
here. The latest find is at Augusta, a
few miles north of Malvern, where NJ. O.
Leyda has discovered on his farm an
ore which he claims to be richer than
the Malvern product. A large number
of people visited The new find Sunday
and many express confidence that Mr..
Leyda has struck good thing. Speci-

covery has increased the gold fever and
has also caused the price of land to take
fabulous jump, SO that it can be
neither bought nor leased. In case the
assay shows sufficient gold, Mr.. Leyda
will at once purchase machinery to
work the mine.

Mason City Republican. Owned by Meyers 4
Meyers, Meets with Serious Loss.


On Friday afternoon, just as the forms
of the Mason City Republican were
about to go to press, a fire broke out in
the boiler room, and in few moments
the whole building was mass of
flames. The forms were saved from the
blazing room, but the heavy machinery
and presses were badly injured. The
fire company soon had the fire ex--
tinguished, but not until about So, 600
worth of damage had been done About
$4,000 of this loss falls upon the owners
of the Republican and the remainder
upon the owner of the building. The
Republican is under the management Of
Charles K. Meyers, and we know that
hundreds of his old-tim Denison and
Review friends will extend to him their
heart felt sympathy. Brother Charles
has worked like Trojan and it is in
deed a pity that he should receive this
setback F. W. Meyers spent yester-
day in Mason City viewing the wreck
and helping to plan how to retrieve
from the loss which the firm has suf-
fered. The plant was partially insured,
but enough SO to pay for the damage
done.

Late War.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. A. Lieut..
Herman G. Dresel, of the United States
navy, committed suicide at the Carroll
ton hotel Monday by shooting himself
in the head. From papers found on his
Eody it is surmised that he killed him
self because he had been ordered to
Manila to join the United States steam
er Zafiro.
Lieut.. Dresel soon after reaching
this city went to the Carrollton toilet
room and locked the door behind him.
Almost Immediately thereafter a pis-
tol shot alarmed the employees of the
house and search showed that Dresel
was dead. In one of his pockets was
found an order from Secretary Long,

men. so that the Ellis bill may be passed"

briefly of technical character, many

Letter from Lady Henry SOmerset.
A letter from Lady Henry Somerset,
dated October "a, 1898, was read by the
secretary, expressing desire for peace
as monument to Miss Willard, aiming
for peaceful outcome of all controver-
sizes, frankly giving the opinion of Miss
Willard on the Temple. Miss Will
lard feared the plan of the Temple was
too vast. At her request Lady Henry
had consented to plead with Mrs.
Carse to abandon her undertaking.
Lady Henry feared the fight on the
Temple would wreck the organization
Miss Willard had done so much to build
up. She believed the Temple would,
even though it was not owned by the
w. c. I. u, ever stand as memorial to
what women had wrought.
Another Somerset Letter.
Mrs. Carse asked for the reading of a
letter writted by Lady Henry in June,
in which she advocated making the
Temple memorial to Miss Willard. but
that letter not being accessible and the
devotional hour having arrived, the
matter was laid over till afternoon.
when the report on the Temple was due.

from the Essex and ordering him to
Manila to join the Zafiro. A telegram
addressed to Lieut.. C. III. Fales in Wash
ington and signed by Dresel, which
was found on the dead man, requested
Fales to exchange orders with. the
writer and it was evidently the inten-
ton of Dresel to have sent this.
Lieut.: Dresel was well known at the
navy pay office in the custom house
here. No one could assign any cause
for the act except his unwillingness to
go to Manila He is described as a pleas
ant, cheerful man, with no known
troubles.
Dresel was 3s or 40 years of age. He
entered the navy on September %, 1876,
at Annapolis, having been appointed
from Ohio. On May 4, 1896, he was
made lieutenant. During the Span
ish-American war he served on board
the Puritan. Following the war he was
transferred to the Essex, and it is
said the transfer to Manila was made
On account of his value as an officer,
which marked him out for continued
active duty. He had no family, so far as
il known here.
Was Born at Columbus, O.
Columbus, O., Nov. 14.-Lieut. Her
man G. Dresel, U. S. N, was born and
raised in Columbus, being 40 years of
age. He graduated from the Columbus
high school in 1874 and was appointed
to Annapolis hs cadet from this dis
trict. He was married to Miss Alice
Jones, by whom he had two children,
a boy and a girl, now seven and four
years of age respectively. His wife at
the present time is living in Boston
with Mr.. Dresel's mother and sisters.
The Dresel family was among the
most prominent in Columbus social
affairs during their residence here, but
some years ago removed to Boston.
Mr.. Dresers father committed sui
eide in this city in 1881 by shooting him
self.
The belief that Lieut.. Dresel's action
in committing suicide was brought
about by being ordered to Manila to
join the Zafiro finds credence here, for
il was known that he was anxious to
serve on battleship. and during the
Spanish war made application to be
so transferred. His war record was
good, he serving on the monitor Puri-
tan and firing the first shot at the en-
gagement off Matanzas.
The news of the suicide comes as a
severe blow to the many intimate
friends of the lieutenant and the fam
lily.

Master voss is a thoroughbred.

Master Voss is a thoroughbred. He
has more ancestors and ancestresses
than the Prince of Wales, and in our
opinion his family line taken as whole
is equally as good as that of the some
what ancient heir apparent to the Brit
ish throne. Not long ago Master voss
had his picture taken having as acces-
sories his mother, grand mother, great
grandmother and great-great grand
mother on the Gulick side of the house.
Just recently he has had his picture
taken again. The mother and grand
mother are the same, but then the pic
ture reaches back on the side of Mrs
Gulick's family, including his great
grand mother, Mrs. Dunn, and his
great-great and his great-great- great
grand mother. The latter two are not
living, but their portraits are skillfully
inserted by Mr.. Browns art The pic
ture covers nearly $50 years of grand
mothers. 1t is time now to get the
Vosses lined up.

THE NEW RAILROADS.
Illinois Central Officials Satisfied With Sur
vey, Northwestern Pushing Work.


The railroad situation is growing
more interesting of late. The North
Western people are actively at work
grading the line from Denison to Wall
Lake, and it is reported that work is
being done on the line from Sac City to
Algona. If this is true, it means line
from Omaha to st. Paul and Mime
apolis by way of Denison, and pros
pect possibly that Denison will become
a division.
A number of prominent officials Of
the Illinois Central road were in town
yesterday afternoon and today. Deni-
son is now the headquarters of large
number of Illinois Central surveyors,
and the prospects are that they will re
main here during portion of the win
ter at least.
1t is understood that the purpose of
the officials of the road being here at
this time is to drive over and view the
line as the same is surveyed through
this county.
It is reported that the line is very
satisfactory and that the grade is less
than 26 feet to the mile, which is quite
an improvement upon the grade of any
other line through the county.
There is still some uncertainty as to
just where the line will be built with
reference to Denison. If it should be
built down the West Boyer, the survey
as made carries the line on the west
side of the river and through the fair
ground.
1t is to be hoped that enough in
fluence can be brought to bear upon
the company to build the road to Deni-
son if it is to come at all. We hope our
people will use every effort to induce
the Illinois Central to build this line to
come inside the corporation of Denison.

that she in no way neglected home du-
ties when few days of leisure were
obtained. The ladies of honor were

SHOT A CALF MOOSE.
Harry Lishness' Guide Causes Him Arrest and
Conviction-he Appeals.

Game Warden Walter I. Neal made a
seizure of calf moose at the Maine
Central station, on Wednesday after
noon. The animal was shot by II. r.
Lishness of Augusta, who together
with H. II. Lee of the same city, has
been hunting in the vicinity of Rattle
brook, in from Kingman.
The moose was brought to Bangor on
the noon train from st. John. Upon its
arrival here it was Immediately seized
by Warden Neal.
There were no doubts in the minds of
any of the sportsmen who saw the ami
NAL but tina. l. vas a calf. The horns
had just begun to protrude and the
mobs were scarcely descernable unless
a close examination was made. The
weight of the animal, pa pounds, also
went to prove that the moose was too
young to have been killed legally.
Mr.. Lishness was greatly surprised
when he was taken into custody by the
warden. He said that his guide, a man
named Coburn, who was with him at
the time of the shooting, assured him
that the animal was a yearling.
Warden Neal says that the case is
another instance where the guide is the
guilty party. Although the law de-
mands the arrest of the person who
brings the moose out, the guide is the
one who should be made to suffer.
Sportsmen at the station sympathized
with Mr.. Lishness, as did the people
generally.
This is the third case of the kind,
this season, and each time the guide
has been the guilty person. The war
dens and sportsmen say that the law
should be made. this winter, which will
take the blame from the sportsmen and
will make the guide suffer for the il
legal killing of the calf moose.
H. r. Lishness of Augusta, who was
arrested on Wednesday afternoon, by
Warden Neal, and of whose case an ac-
count is published elsewhere in the
Commercial, was arraigned before
Judge Vose, late in the afternoon. He
was sentenced to three months in Jail.
firm which sentence he appealed. He
furnished bonds in $200.-Bangor Com

mated war pictures, good specialties
and the music of really excellent

that their work pleases the majority of
their audience is shown by the fact
that the same people go again and
again, the attendance being always
large. The specialties include some
good singing and dancing, and the war
pictures are full of interest to every
