A country boy wandering through the
state house this morning came upon the
forest OF by + scantlings in the south
wing Of the state house which the plas-
terers are using in finishing the walls of
that part of the main floor. He looked at
the boards above his head sagging under
the Industrious plasterers and received an
eyeful of mortar, like many other unfor-
Inmates who have to thread the maze.
He was curious to see the upper floors
Of this wonderful building by this time
but could not see a way up So he stopped
a clerk who went hurrying by, lodging

information

''Um-mi How much is it?''
Free ride; free rider laughed the
clerk, And the boy adjourned his expIo-

September 10.

New York, Aug. Concerning the
effect of the discussion in the house of
commons of the latest South African
situation, the London representative of
the Tribune cables:
Mr.. Chamberlain carried the house of
commons with him in his defence of
Lord Kitchener's Punishment procla-
nation. 1t seems clear that the British
government IS determined that Septem-
Der is shall mark the beginning of the
resumption of something like civil au-
thority in South Africa. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt endeavored to con-
tend that the terms of the proclamation
involved the destruction Of the bellig
erent rights of the Beers in the field
but Mr.. Chamberlain pointed out that
those rights win be withdrawn only if
the present Boer operations degenerate
to mere plumber and murder.

killed yesterday afternoon about 4
o'clock. The standpipe is up SIS feet and
one of the quarter sections Of steel,
weighing two or three tons, having just
been elevated to It's position the men
went up and began to rivet it on. When
but two or three rivets had been in
serted the wind swayed the sheet of steel
and it fell on the inside striking the
end of the platform, breaking the chain
supporting the platform and also
breaking Mr.. Glidden's hold. throwing
him s. feet to the stone foundation OF
the pipe. He was not badly mangled
except about the head. which seems to
have struck the bottom first. Another
man was working with Mr.. Glidden on
the same scaffold but he caught hold OF
the chain and thus saved himself by
climbing up the chain over the top and
getting on the outside platform. 1t had
been quite windy and the work was
stopped part of the time on account OF
the wind. Mr. Glidden was 3s years old

WHOLE FAMILY POISONED.
Family at Breda the Victims of an Ur
known Enemy.

Special to Times-Republican
Carroll. Nov. 12-Joe Naberhaus, liv-
ing about ten miles northwest of this
city has been troubled during the past
few months with having his livestock
poisoned and injured in various ways.
Sunday while the family were attend
ing church someone entered the house
thru a window and poisoned their breaN
and other provisions.
When returning from church as is the
usual custom Mr.. Naberhaus and wife
sat down to a lunch. AS soon as Mrs.
Naberhaus tasted her coffee. She re-
marked that there was something
Naberhaus ate some bread and other
lunch and in a short time began to feel
very queer and afterwards threw up his
meal
He then examined the bread and other
food that was left uneaten and found
that it contained poison.
Later Sheriff Nestle was wired and re-
quested to send for the blood hounds at
Ida Grove We have since been in
formed that they had to send to Ne
braska for blood hounds.
Mr.. Naberhaus received the greater
amount of poison but It is thought that
it will not result fatally.
Analysis proves the poison used was
strychnine.
This Is but one of series of depreda-
tions that have been practiced upon
Naberhaus About a year ago an at
tempt was made to poison his horses,
but the poison was discovered in the
feed box before the horses had eaten
any of it. AT another time while he and
his wife were attending a dance in the
neighborhood someone entered his barn
and cut up the top of new buggy.
Abou. week ago he was husking corn
and left the water jug in a corner Of the
field When ne returned later on to get
a drink of water he found some poison
on the mouth of the jug. No clue has
ever been found of the perpetrator. but
the people have become so incensed over
this last attempt that if the cowardly
rascal is discovered it will go hard with
him. 1t was deliberate attempt to
poison the whole family and it is to be
hoped that the guilty party will be ais
covered.
