or Interest to Hor.emen.

1t is probably OF more than usual
interest to horsemen to know that the
noted stallion Strathberry, Iowa's most
famous PAGER, has entered the stud and
is now being bred to q select number
of mares. This famous horse, with a
record made in Ottumwa in the third
heat in race of 2:04As, will be at
Highland Center on Monday and Tues
day of each week, and at Grips Bros
barn, in this city, on Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
each week, in charge of VIM. Pack
wood. The charges are $25 with re-
turn privilege, or $35 to insure mare
with foal. Strathberry is too well
known to every horseman in Iowa to
need any comment. He is the fastest
PAGER Iowa ever produced, and has now
two colts in the 1925 list, with five
more to enter this year.

BODY DISCOVEREDBY ANDREW HARRIS
Skull Crushed and Neck Broken-No
Papers to Identify the Man-Was

amer II Summoned
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
A stranger was found lying beside
the Burlington track a short distance
west of Batavia last night about 8
o'clock, suffering from injuries which
resulted in death. The right side of
his skull was crushed, and his neck
was broken, altho he survived until
midnight. Nothing is known of the
man nor in what manner he came to
his death. The supposition is that he
either fell or jumped from a moving
train.
The body was discovered by Andrew
Harris, young man residing in the
country near Batavia, while on his
way home. He notified the station
agent, who summoned the necessary
assistance to remove the stranger to
the depot at Batavia. Drs. III. G. Por-
ter and B. r. Gabbert pronounced the
man beyond all medical or surgical
aid.
Coroner j. NJ. Stinson, of Fairfield,
arrived this morning and empaneled a
jury, comprising Peter Nelson, j. NJ.
Campbell and d. Y. Kenady. The YER
dict and facts brought out in the in
quest were substantially as above
stated. The deceased was attired as a
common laborer, and wore a black felt
hat and had u black mustache.
Body is Identified.
Later-The man killed at Batavia
last night has been identified as An
drew Feely. The deputy sheriff from
Fairfield recognized him as the man
whom the authorities at that place
released from custody yesterday
Feely was before the commissioners
OF insanity, who failed to find him
insane, altho it is said that he was
mentally unbalanced. 1t is now pretty
certain that he was walking on the
track and was struck by the Burling-
ton fast mail No. s.

NUMBER 10.

We have often wondered why any
superstition has been associated with
the number l3. Some people are forced
to wear No l3 boots, but there are
many others who cannot be made TO
occupy room Is in a hotel.
A citizen of our town would not toll
crate phone No. l3, and so it goes the
world round.
So far as we know the earliest record
of the horrible being associated with
the number, is to be found in the book
Of Esther when Hannah appealed to
Ahasuerus for permission to kill the
Jews then in that kingdom, the edict
vas written 10y the scrbes on the "13th
day of the first month" and the killing
was to take place on the "l3th day Of
the twelfth month"
And when Hannah was brought to
grief and the Jews were commissioned
to Stay their Oppressors they began
their bloody work "on the twelfth
month, that is the month Adar on the
18th day of the same" The Jews con-
tinued this work of destruction on the
18th and 18th days Of this same month
Adar, and afterwards Mordecai COM
manded that they should "keep
the l4th and 18th days Of the same,
yearly" but nothing is said of keeping
the 18th. This is curious reading at
any rate, and may throw some light
on the supestitiOus Is.
The HERALD, some years since, call
ed attention to the fact that Virginia's
"Sic semper tyrannis" had its origin
in Joshua, chapter 10 and verse "a.

Bible is the most interesting of all
books, and the man fails to read it loses
something he cannot find in all the
other books Of the world.

Notwithstanding his previous humil.

tary Root has again smOthered an i'm
portant public document on the ridicu-
lous ground that it is confidential
matter not intended to be made public.
The document in question is the re-
port made by an expert accountant
from the Treasury Department, who
was sent to Cuba at Secretary Roots
request TO 90 thoroughly over the ac-
counts of Rathbone and Neeley. The
real reason for not making it public is
that it shows the stealing i'm Cuba TO
have been greater and more systematic
than anybody had supposed. A sim
liar report was made by the accountant
To the Senate Committee on Relations
with Cuba, which has been trying so
hard not to comply with the Senate
resolution directing it to investigate
Cuban finances. If these reports are
not made public, there is likely to be

but he confesses that it will require
$4,000 soldiers to preserve these peace
full relations with the Fillipinos, some
5000 in Cuba, and only about 1900 in
Porto Rico. He neglected to add just
here, that in order to prolong the era
of mckinley prosperity" the govern
ment must spend money furiously.
The president must have been nod
ding when he recommended an army
Of 10000, when it requires just that
