A Great Record.

The well known Rock Island Colorado
Flyer has made n Eecord for punctual
ION time" service. which has not been
equalled by any other road.
Without any attempt to make rec-
ord, but with only the usual time card
rules governing, this train running daily
between Kansas City. Pueblo, Colorado
Springs and Denver. made the phenom-
enal record OF being late but twice dur
ing the month of Sanuary, 1901. Con-
sidering the length Of the run. 88s miles.
and the average speed OF 50 miles per
hour including all stops. this is a re-
markable performance for railroad
train, especially during the wintry
month of January.
10 be more explicit, tine Colorado
Flyer runs between the Missouri river
and the Rockies. Trains No. 9 and 10
cover the distance, 68s miles, each n
hours, making total mileage OF ,a3a
miles day. In January these trains
covered 4O,0S0 miles in ,040 hours at
the continuous rate Of 3S miles an hour.
while between stations 1t approaches GU
miles per hour. There are q stops 70
be made on each trip.

JAS. HARRlsoN's FATHER DEAD
Demise Occurred at His Home Near
Woodburn.

T. V. Harrison, father of Detective
Jas. Harrison, of the Burlington, who
is well known in this city, died at his
home about six miles north of Wood
burn, Friday afternoon at o'clock
Mr.. Harrison was 81 years of age.
and was one of the Oldest settlers in
the state. He came to Iowa in 1856,
when it was virgin soil, and settled
upon the farm where he died, having
made that place his home ever since.
He is survived by six children, two
sons and four daughters, James, of
Charlton; Eli. who lived at the home
place; Mrs. Ira Marquis, of near
WOODBURY.; Mrs. Alice Roberts, of
Denver; Mrs. Lizzie Gettman, of near
WOODBURY., and Mrs. Sarah Dicker-
son, of Kansas. The funeral was
held yesterday afternoon and was at
tended by large concourse of
friends and neighbors who came to
pay their last respects, to one who
had been a valued friend for so many
years. Interment was made in the
cemetery, near his home.

DIPHTHERlA is ARATING.
No New Cases Is the Report Which
Came From chlIicothe Today.

1t is pleasure to be able to state
that diphtheria, which promised to
have such run at Chillicothe is abat-
ing, that there are no new cases to
be reported. The Courier office was
visited today by Chillicothe resident
who made the statement that there
has been only one death from the dis
ease, the child of Mr. and Mrs. Jas
per Warren, report Of which was
printed in the Courier a few days
ago.
The other sick children in the War
rem fanny were treated with antitox-
inc, and since that time all diphtheric
symptoms have disappeared. 1t was
doubted by some if the child who died
was really afflicted with diphtheria,
but a diagnosis of the case by DR..
Brockman of this city resulted in his
making the statement that the child
had every symptom, with the single
exception of the false membrane in
the throat. The house in which this
family lives was promptly quarantin,
ed and spread of the disease was
thus prevented. 1t was feared that
a number of other children, who We're
i'll of colds and grip, had contracted
the disease, recent developments GO
to show that they had not.

THAT DAM.
Meeks Talk of Their Famous obstrue.
ton in the River.

ton in the River.
The Bonaparte dam case has been
before every governor for the past
twenty years and it officially came be-
fore Judges Burton and Eichelberger,
of Ottumwa, and the Meeks say that
in every instance the controversy has
been decided in their favor. They
inform the observation-disclosures that
they have spent thousands of dollars
in defending their property and are
prepared to eXpend some more. They
state that the power derived from the
dam is now employed to operate a
grist mill and part of the big wooden
mill, besides furnishing the water for
dyeing and securing the mill They
further represent that in consequence
of the presence of the dam and the
power which it furnishes that the in
surance for themselves and for the
whole town of Bonaparte has been
considerably reduced, which is re-
garded as an item of considerable i'm
| portance. Since the recent decision
of the Iowa supreme court Meek Bros.
have entered into a contract with the
town of Bonaparte to furnish the
| same witt water, and have expended
about $1,000 in putting the dam in
good repair for the purpose of furn-
| ishing that supply of water. After
the decision of the supreme court in
May the owners of the dam offered it
for sale at $4,000, which was not ac-
cepted at the time, and the Meeks
| say that offer will never be repeated
again and does not stand for accept
ance now. 1t is claimed by the par
| ties in interest that the loss or re-
moval of the dam would mean ruin to
| the town of Bonaparte and to the
manufacturing interests of Van Buren,
county. Meek Bros. are the sole own
ers of the property and they assert
that they will defend the matter to
the court of last resort as often as it
may come up. The above statement
in general way represents their
views.-Keokuk Constitution Demo.
