.~rhase are astonishing figures, and
vastly more effective and convincing
than volumes of scientific theories re-
|lating to this matter. 1t appears that
the stock growers of this state are pay
ING very heavy tax on their wire
fences in addition to the cost of con-
struction. or possibly these losses oy
lightning may not be considered tax
on that kind of fence, but rather pen
atty for not constructing the fences
properly, with necessary safeguards
against such casualties. 1t is clear that
some means should be devised to rem
der wire fences less deadly, or falling IN
that. they should be discarded alto
gether. 1t is believed that they may be
rendered practically safe by the use of
ground wires.
..rhe fact may be noted that many
OF the storms of the past season have
been accompanied by driving winds,
with more or less hail, as we'll as an un-
usual amount of electric disturbance.
During the prevalence of that class of
storms farm animals in the fields seek
closer companionship, and by the force
| of the storms are driven and crowded
together in punches or herds against
the fences that obstruct the way. The
reports show that many animals We're
killed in punches by single strokes OF
lightning.
The larger number of reports re-
ceived this season give some details as
to the localities where destructive
strokes occurred, whether moist or dry
upland CIR lowland. near timber or in ar
open field. But from the mass of state
ments we are not yet able to make any
special deduction of practical or scien-
tific interest. Nearly so per cent of the
reports show that the strokes occurred
on high dry lands. somewhat distan
from timber; nearly 40 per cent on low
moist ground, without timber, and q
per cent in or near groves or timbel

Jumps From Moving Train.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. 15.-Martin o.
Halsted, a Norwegian, whose home is
four miles from Northwood. Worth
county, is lying at st. Luke's hospital,
in very critical condition, with fair
however, of recovery He
has a bad injury on the top and back of
his head, his right elbow IS dedicated,
his right shoulder is dislocated and he
is covered from head to foot with severe
bruises. His condition is the result of
a jump from coach of the Colorado
special on the Northwestern Tuesday
afternoon, while the train was running
fifty miles an hour.
Halsted is addicted to the drink habit
and with desire to cure himself of
the habit and through the efforts of Ed
Sherron, agent for the Lyons gold cure,
Halsted was induced to make arrange
ments to go there and take the cure.
He left home Tuesday morning and ar
rived in Cedar Rapids all right. He
stopped off here and got his ticket to
Clinton, and then started out to take
in the city. He imbibed very freely of
that which intoxicates and when Officer
Mcguire ran across him about 2:30
o'clock in the afternoon he was in a
somewhat mellow condition. Mac took
him to the station. He was placed on
the Colorado special and shortly after
jumped through a window of the coach
while the train was running fifty miles
an hour.
Halsted is man IS years old, is
married and has wife and three chill
dren. He had in his pocket a draft for
$95 on a Chicago bank, made payable
to himself and issued at Northwood,
but not cent of money. He also had
his ticket from Cedar Rapids to Clin-
ton and the cards of the agents and
managers of the Lyons gold cure. His
escape from instant death is wonder
full, for it seems almost Impossible that
a man jumping from train running
fifty miles an hour could escape alive.

CHANGE GENERALLY FAVORED.

Basis of RePresentation1n the Repub-
lican National Convention.
Des Moines. Nov. 15.-A. B. Cummins,
Iowa member of the republican nation
al committee. in an interview in regard
to an effort to change the basis of re-
presentation in the national convention,
said he favored change to representa-
ton according to votes cast for republic
can presidential candidates, and not ac-
cording to representation in congress,
as at present.
He realized that this would work a
hard ship to republicans of the south,
who need encouragement, but he sees
no reason why they should be able to
control more strength in the conven-
lions than their ratio of votes would
ordinarily allow. He realizes, however.
that 1t will be difficult and may be inn
possible to effect the change at this
time.
Gov. Shaw expressed similar opin-
ions. Many leading republicans seen
today expressed their choice of Chicago
for the next convention.

COURAGE AND HONESTY.
[Keokuk Gate City.1

The whole country is pralsing Iowa
and it deserves it. 1t has taught a
great lesson of honesty and courage in
politics. Governor Shaw has come to
be known as a man who never trims,
conceals or evades. He is the soul of di-
rectness and plain dealings. And the
party has gone on that line. In its
platform, its speeches and its press Is
has had the courage of its convictions
and of honest policies. Some thought
lit best to trim on the money question.
Iowa republicanism proclaimed the
gold standard without any reservations
Some thought it would be hazardous
to be honest, sincere and truthful about
trusts. That maybe the party ought
to say what it did not mean and could
not do. The result shows that the peo-
pie want party to have the courage
of honesty and they will stand by it.

be compiled an enormous map of the
state for exhibition at the Paris fair.
