BRICELAYER KILLS HIMSELF
William Molesworth, Weary of Life, Makes
His Exit Into the Unknown.
SHOOTS HIMSELF DEAD WITH REVOLVER
Faithful Dog Keeps vigil by Remains
of His Master and Has to he
Shot That an Inquest
May BE Held.

Weary OF lifes struggle and despondent
over his inability to abstain from the ex-
cessive use Of intoxicating liquors, William
Molesworth, a bricklayer, committed suicide
late Thursday night by shooting himself
at the residence OF Henry Carspecken in
Belknap township. The deed was unwit-
messed save by the faithful hound of the
suicide but death was evidently instan-
. taneous, as when the family. aroused by the
report OF the shot, fastened to the scene
Molesworth was lying on the front porch
dead with the blood oozing from bullet
wound in the head. revolver clutched in
the nerveless hand told the story.
Molesworth has been a well known char
acter around Oakland, where he lived for
the last five years. He was a bricklayer
by trade and considered a good work
man as long as he kept from drink. Thurs
day afternoon he arrived at the home of
Henry Carspecken in Belknap township to
do some work, but owing to the lateness OF
| the hour it was decided not to commence
until yesterday morning. He appeared to
have been drinking and after supper, which
he ate with the members OF the family,
Wordsworth left the house, saying he was
going to smoke his pipe out in the yard.
The family was about retiring for the night
when startled by the report of a revolver
shot. Henry Carspecken and one OF his sons
found Molesworth dead, lying on the front
porch with his faithful dog, which had been
his constant companion for several years
standing guard over his body. When they
| attempted to go near the body the dog
growled and refused to move Coaxing was
Of no avail and the dog refused to let any
| one near the body of his dead master. AS
last resource in order to get at the body
OF the suicide 1t was found necessary to
shoot the hound. Coroner Treynor was
notified and he instructed Justice W. B.
Butler to act in his stead and hold an in
quest, which was done yesterday morning,
the jury bringing in verdict to the effect
that he came to his death by his own hand.
Molesworth is reported to have been mar
| ried, but the whereabouts of his wife are
not known. Molesworth was always in the
habit Of carrying a revolver and frequently
when drinking hard said that when he got
| tired of living he would use it to end his
| existence.

OCEAN CABLES Nv WAR TIME
Talk Of Their Neutrality which Has
Never nccn Acted upon.


During the late war. says writer In the
Forum, the Americans cut the cable con-
Meeting Manila with Hong Kong, and the
French cable In Cuban waters on tho port OF
Caimanera. This was ht once denounced by
the French prese especially. ms upwarrantcd
by the law of nations, and as being posi-
tive violation OF the rules OF modern war
fare The charge Ia absolutely groundless.
A belligerent certainly cannot bo denied tho
right TO prevent his enemy from communi-
eating with the outside world. Tho suggcs-
tion has been often made that ocean cables
should not be interforcd with in time OF war,
but should be neutralizod by agreement OF
the nations. President Buchanan made such
n suggestion as early as 1858, when the flrst
Atlantic cable was laid. in his reply to
Queen Victoria's message of goodwill MIR.
Buchanan said: "Will not all nations OF
Christendom spontaneously unite In the
declaration that It (the cable) shall bo for
ever neutral, and that its communications
shall be held sacred In passing to their
places OF destination, even in the midst OF
hostilties?" But this agreement which
Mr.. Buchanan thirty years ago supposed the
nations would so spontaneously enter into,
does not yet exist.
The war with Spain Is the first war, so far
as the writer is aware, in which belligerent
has found ii necessary to cut an ocean cable.
That the cables were likely to be so inter-
fered with appeared probable at the very
outbreak of hostiliies. Mr.. Balfour was
questioned in the British House of Commons
as early as April &c, the day after the United
States declared war. He replied that he was
not prepared to deny that belligerents, on
the ground OF military eXigences, would be
justified in interfering with the cables. A
few days later, on May 2, Dewey had cut the
Manila cable.
The nations have a convention for the pro-
lection of submarine cables, which was en-
tered into in Paris in 1884, and ratified and
proclaimed in 1885, The United States and
Spain are among the signatory powers. That
convention, however, simply provides pro-
lection for cables in time of peace. In
article XIV it is expressly stated that "it is
understood that the stipulations of this con-
vention shall in no wise affect the liberty Of
action of beligerents." But it is interesting 6
United States proposed the neutrality of
cables in time of war, and called a confer
ence to meet at Washington. But before the
conference could be held the Franco-Prus-
sian war occurred, and the meeting had to
be abandoned. The Italian government sub
sequently sounded the powers and 1t was
| found that it would be impossible to secure
| their assent to naturalization. In 1864 an at
tempt was made to lay an Atlantic cable,
and at that time France, Italy, Portugal and
| one or two other states actually entered into
| an agreement for its protection in war as
well as peace. The effort to lay that cable
| failed; with the failure the treaty lapsed.

other illustrious historical personages. II
sounds we'll. says the state historian, but
the fact remains that he can be compared
with no one. The circumstances of his
bringing up. those in which he has gained
his influence and ruled over his people
for sixteen years. have been so exceptional
that Paul Kruger can be compared with
no other historical character. To the
Dutch of South Africa he is simply Paul
Kruger, a man of themselves, born into
their troubles and tribulations, who has
contributed to their trumphs, and is now,
in his last years, steering them through
new dangers.
MIR. Van Oordt in concluding his
sketch, thus apostrophzes him:
All peaceful lies the Lion of Rusten-
burg, his eye fixed on God his paw upon
the flag of independence. You mark no
signs of attack; only the Lion takes a
watchful protecting grasp. But, take care!
At the first approach of danger he erects
his name and rises up. And woe! woe to
him, however mighty he be, who dares
touch the flag of Transvaal independence.
The Lion then will fight; he will defend
himself to the last drop of his blood; and
IL he must fall dying and conquered, then
shall II be enwrapped in the vreiklem,
which shall make the shroud of Stephanus
Johannes Paul Kruger" "

Harry Boyd, the individual was mas
queraded Thursday night as an exaggerated
specimen of the genus dude, was before
Justive Wen in police court yesterday for
advertising without city license. He de-
MED that he was advertising any article OF
merchandise and proceeded to tell the court
that he belonged to the French nobility and
had recently fallen heir to a large fortune
and was spending his time and money travel
ing through the country. One OF the pro-
visions of the will under which he in
herited the fortune was that he should be
always accompanied by a valet. Justice
Wien, who Is French Canadian by birth,
addressed the Count" in French, but the
latter was forced TO admit he was not ac-
quainted with the language. AS there was
no evidence that Boyd was advertising any
thing the court fined his $40 and costs for
giving street exhibition. The action OF
the court aroused the counts ire and he
questioned the right of Justice Wen ia
"stretch" the law. as he claimed. Boyd
was attired in the same remarkable fashion
as when arrested Thursday night, and his
appearance and conduct in police court at

being locked up for several hours friends

THE BALD EAGLE AT HOME.
He Chooses High Tree for His OF
fensiNe Nest.

fenStSe Nest.
An old friend met us. He first showed us
a black spot far up on the shore, then
drfted grandly down upon set pinions, tack
ing in and out like yacht working to wind
ward. 1t happened he was slanting shore-
ward when he passed, says a writer in
Outing, and at forty yards his snowy head
and tall and broad, brown fans showed to
fine advantage. We could see the polished
yellow of his hooked bill and the fierce
flash Of his marvellous golden telescope
eye as he turned it upon us and then back
to his tireless searching of the water and
the wave line along shore.
For years this eagle, hoary old beach
comber, as he is, has patrolled the shore
daily for miles, seeking what the waters
have cast up, for be it known he is not
above accepting even carrion. Many dead
fish and lost bird he gets for the trouble
Of picking them up, but he can hunt, too,
when he feels disposed, and there, season
after season, he and his mate have patched
the old nest and reared their eagles in
peace.
No one can climb the tree and no decent
man would shoot at the birds. Should you
visit the foot of the tree your nose will be
assailed by a most Objectionable odor and
your naturally brief inspection will con-
vince you that the eagles do hunt more
than they are given credit for. Everywhere
are fragments OF fish, while among them
are wings and tails which must have be-
longed to grouse, portions of hares and other
fragments suspiciously like certain parts of
lambs. sucking pigs and domestic fowls.
But they were not our lambs, pigs or fowls,
and so no shot whistles after the old pirate,
who seems to understand that he is free to
buccaneer to his hearts content.

TEETH MADE OF PAPER.
Latest Thing in Dentistry Are Papier-
MRchc MoIars.


Paper teeth are the latest thing in dem
tistry. For years some substance has been
sought for which could replace the COM
position commonly employed for making
teeth, and a fortune awaited the man who
was lucky enough to hit upon the right
material. Although paper has some disad-
vantages they are small compared to its
many qualifications, and paper teeth are
likely to be used exclusively, at least until
a more perfect material is found.
Up to this time, says the New York Press,
china has been used almost entirely, but
1t presents so many disadvantages that dem
lists always have been on the lookout for
some other substance which could replace It,
Not only does china not resist the action
of saliva and turns black, but china affects
the nerves OF the jaws. People who wear
false teeth often complain of sub -orbital
neuralgia and this is put down by many
dentists as being caused by the heat or cold
acting on the china or porcelain. Porce-
lain or mineral composition also is liable
to chip or break, and for these reasons has
never been satisfactory.
The paper teeth are made 5f papier-
mache which is submitted to a tremendous
pressure until they are as hard as required.
Their peculiar composition renders them
cheap, and the price of set OF teeth will
go down considerably owing to the new
invention. The color of the papier- mache
can also be made to vary, which Is an i'm
portant point, as no two sets of teeth are
identical in color, some teeth having strong
yellowish cast, while others are blush
white. In order, therefore, to obtain the
right tint in coloring matter has only to
be introduced into the mixture before the
topth is cast in order to match the other
teeth exactly. 1t is in this particular that
china teeth often fail to appear natural,
their color differing from the other teeth
in the mouth and showing that the tooth
Is artificial.
Another novelty with regard to teeth
consists in their filling. Dentists no longer
use as much gold or platinum as they did
formery-in fact, metal filings are out of
date. Bone or ivory Is the substance en-
ployed, and both possess the advantage of
appearing more natural. OF course, those
who already have gold or platinum filings
will not go to the expense and trouble of
having them removed, but they have been
tabooed by the smart set, and in future
nothing so conspicuous will be used Neither
bone nor ivory satisfies the dentists, how
ever, and they are hunting around for some
composition which will be both durable and
elastic and yet will match the color OF the
teeth.

DBS MONIES, July 14-(Special Tele-

Polk county officials met with the council
this morning. Polk county claims to be on
the 25 per cent basis at present and wants
the executive council to leave 1t alone. 1t
ie short of its assessment in former years,
but its representatives aver that the assess
ment this year Is strictly in accordance with
the law and protest against any increase.
The board was addressed by j. NJ. Risser,
president OF the Board OF Supervisors of Lee
county, to protest against any increase in
Lee county assessments. G. A. Robbins,
county attorney for Madison county, ap-
peared in behalf Of his county for the same
purpose. The board will continue in session
until tomorrow and 1t is said that general
increase in the real estate assessments OF
Northwestern Iowa will be made but the
board refuses to verify this statement.
A peculiarly sad accf1ent occurred yester-
day at Hastie, southeast of this city, in
the drowning of the 10-year-old child OF Mr.

was drowned, no one being near to assist
the helpless child to extricate itself.

The members OF the BARRIERS Protective
association are determined to keep up their
fight in their attempt to enforce Sunday clos
ing. The attorney for the association re-
ceived instructions yesterday to file an in
formation against the proprietor of the bar
ber shop on Pearl street for keeping his
place open last Sunday. The proprietor OF
the shop in question was notified yesterday
by the associations attorney to be prepared
to furnish bond for his appearance today
as proceedings would be instituted against
him in one OF the local justice courts.
The members OF the association say that
while they intend to try to enforce the Sun
day closing law they have no desire to per-
secute anyone and for that reason notice
was given to the proprietor of the Pearl
street barber shop to be prepared to have
his bail ready this morning. For the same
reason the information will be fled before
local justice instead of before one in the
country. The members OF the association
also threaten to file informations against
every proprietor who keeps his shop open
tomorrow.
County Attorney Kilpack intends to take
hand in the fight himself and stated yes
terday that he would instruct Assistant
County Attorney Kimball to refuse to pros
ecute any more OF these cases brought by
the BARRIERS, as they were only putting the
county to expense and there was no possi-
bility of obtaining conviction at the hands
of any jury. He would instruct Mr. Kimball
to move for the dismissal of every such case
brought by the association. 1t was reported
yesterday that majority OF the shops would
be open tomorrow, as the proprietors are
beginning to realize they are losing money
by keeping closed on Sunday mornings.
