LESTER HALE INJURED.
A Street Car Motorman Receives a
Very Severe Shock.

[From Tuesdays Daily.]
Lester Hale, residing on South Ward
street and employed by the Ottumwa
Electric & Steam Co.. as motorman,
was hurled from his car in South OF.
tumwa yesterday afternoon, and, al
though he was not seriously injured,
will have cause to remember the ex-
perience for some time to come.
Hale was running a closed car, and
when near the corner of Weller and
Church streets the ground wire broke,
short circuiting the current so that his
body was made a conductor for the
current of electricity. When he could
release his hold on the metal through
which the electricity. reached his
hands, he was SO weak that he. fell
from the platform of his car to the
pavement. He was not injured badly

, OPEN GOLFERS SKULL.
Doctors Find Ready Reason for the Re-
current Insanity.

d The cause ofFthe insanity of Frank
Howard Collier of Chicago, whose ca
reer many Ottumwa people have fol-
lowed with interest, was located yes
terday at the autopsy held at Shell
dons undertaking rooms at 239 West
Madison street, Chicago.
Two growths of bone on the inner
side of the skull pressed against the
brain. These, ever growing larger
and larger, compressed the vital nerves
and blood vessels of the cerebral re-
gions, and brought on the fits of circu-
Collier for the past ten or twelve
years.
The growths were located at the top
of the forehead-one on either side of
a line drawn parallel with the nose.
They were rough formations, an eighth
of an inch in thickness, an inch or
more in length and half as wide.
DeForrest w. Heath, brother-in-law
of Mr.. Collier, authorized this state
ment: He said that it had been the
intention to withhold the result Of the
autopsy until after the funeral, but
that he would withdraw the objection
and allow the matter to be published.
Real Trouble an Inch Away.
The result of the autopsy is regard
ed of great value to medical science,
and there is no doubt that the post
mortem On Mr. Golfers body will en-
able surgeons in the future to more
correctly diagnose the malady from
which Collier suffered.
A sad feature to the autopsy was the
discovery that the operation perform
ed year ago upon Mr.. Collier might
have effected complete cure had the
piece of bone removed at that time
been an inch or SO nearer the center of
the forehead.
All things considered the surgeons
who performed the operation did re-
markable piece of work in getting as
near to the trouble as they did.

Rural Free Delivery.

Rural free mail delivery seems to be
unappreciated by the residents of the
country surrounding Nome. The Mug
get contains mention of the initial trip
made by the carrier, who declared that
he would resign Immediately if not
given SIS per month. The matter had
not been settled on July 16, although
the council had voted on motion to
donate SIS to the carrier. This re-
suited in another tie vote.

The Nugget contains announcements
Of the meetings of the Nome chapters
Of the Masons, the A. o. U. W., the
Elks and the Eagles, all of which seem
to have flourishing lodges.

An item of news that indicates that
the use of intoXicants at Nome is nsysh-
err out of proportion to the population,
states that the city treasurer collect
ed $4,000 liquor license between April
and July 1, 1901.
Prices Moderate.
The subscription price for the Mug
get, which, as stated before is a semi.
weekly paper, is 81 per month, or
twenty-five cents per copy. People
who think they pay high prices for pa
per in the state should consider this
matter a short time and their ideas
may be changed.

Not Officially Notified.

The official notification of the change
has not as yet been received by either
of the men, and the transfer has not,
of course, been made as yet. 1t will
not be for probably week or more,
owing to the fact that there are sever
al formalities through which both Mr..

AN ALASKA PAPER
The Nome Nugget is Interesting to
Ottumwana
IT INDICATES A PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT
Shows That Nome Is Growing Fast
and Becoming Progressive City
Fire Department to Be Aided Greatly
Rural Free Mail Delivery.

The Courier is in receipt of a copy
of the Nome Nugget, paper publish
ed on Tuesdays and Fridays at Nome,
Alaska. The editor is J. R. A. Strong,
and his paper indicates that he is
progressive and the right kind of man
to be at the head of an editorial enter
prise in the northern country, where
enterprise, push and stability count
for much.
The paper which was received at the
Courier Office was issued on July 16.
Nothing is said about the hot weather
and it may be that the torrid zone,
which came up to Ottumwa about that
time, did not stretch all the way to
Alaska.
Court in Session.
Court was in session, having con-
vened on July Is. There were fifty
eight civil cases on the docket, in adj
dition to several criminal cases. The
law seems to be firmly established at
Nome, and the paper in question con.
tains mention of the sending of twelve
prisoners to the federal prison on Nc
Neills island, with terms ranging
from eighteen months to fifteen years.
More Cases Coming.
There is also mention of several
new cases being filed, many of which
are concerning the ownership of
claims. and one of which, sad to say,
is for divorce which a woman named
Georgia Grant wishes to procure on
account of inhuman treatment at the
hands of her husband, William Grant.
A Council Meeting.
The city of Nome has a common
council composed of six aldermen
They are divided on most questions, it
seems, and the vote on nearly all
matters, according to the Nugget, re.
suits three to three. This was the
case with a motion to buy land on
which to build city hall.
Some Ordinances.
The Nugget is an Independent pa.
per, but nevertheless is the official
sheet of Nome, and for that reason
published the ordinances. Ordinance
No. AZ was the last one passed prior
to the issue of the July 16 edition of
the Nugget. One ordinance provides
for the purshase by the mayor of
Nome, of chemical engine, fire hats,
fire buckets and other appliances for
the use of the fire department of the
city. Mayor Geise is now in Chicago
for that purpose.
No Fast Driving.
Another ordinance restricts people
from driving at dangerous gait on the
streets of Nome. Still another makes
provision for the renting of quarters
suitable for the fire department. These
quarters have been engaged, in q
building near the sea, and sleeping
quarters are being arranged on the
second floor with slide pole for the
firemen to use in reaching the ground
in case of IRE.

Prices Moderate.
ADVANCE IN BOARD.
Local Livery Stables Raise Prices For
StabIinq.

Stabling.
Ottumwa people who enjoy their
spare moments in driving over the city
in swell rubber tired traps and bug.
gies and who board their horses at the
different livery stables in this city are
paying an increase from 81 to So per
horse for month. Up to this time
the price has been about SIP month.
The price now will average about $14
after all the liveries have accomplish
ed their intentions of the present mo-
ment. Some Of the boarding stables
have already raised their prices, while
others have served notice that they
will do so in short time. There is
some objection to this on the ground
that it will look like a trust among
the livery proprietors.
Feed Is Up.
The cause of the advance is the cor.
responding raise in the feed for horses.
The local livery men claim that they
are paying from $14 to SIT per ton for
hay which means higher price for
the same article in the fall, while corn
has gone up to SO cents per bushel.
The livery men say that they do not
wish to run losing business and so
they have to raise the prices in order
to make something. One local pro-
prietor stated this morning that most
of his patrons understood the situa-
ton and that it was not a robbing
scheme. He also said that he had lost
but one of the boarders by the adj
vance.
The prices for the help around the
liveries has been advancing for the
last few years so that the wages of
hostler is several dollars a month
more than it used to be. This advance
is also noticeable in number of other
cities in Iowa.
Influenza Not Here.
The liverymen report that the cpl
demic of the, influenza which is so
prevalent among the horses of other
cities has not struck this town yet,
but there is no telling when it will
come. On this account some of the
Iliveries have refused to rent rigs for
any other purpose other than for fun
erals.

Russell and His Songs.

The late Henry Russell, the veteran
English composer of "Cheer, Boys.
Cheer" and of more than 800 Other
songs which were popular in their day,
had many amusing experiences when
he sang his ballads on various occa.
sions.
Once, after rendering "Woodman,
Spare That Tree" a gentleman rose in
the gallery and asked, "Was the tree
~spared?" On being answered in the
affirmative he, with a sigh of heartfelt
relief, exclaimed, THANK God for
that!v''
After singing the song of '"The Dog
Carlo" who jumped off an Atlantic
liner and saved a child's life, Russell
was grayely waited upon by a couple
of Yorkshire miners, who begged him
for a pup.

words were changed in accordance
with the altered conditions, is our ma.

WHAT MODERN SAlLORSFEAR

Not Winds and Seas, but an Explo-
sion Which Scuttles the Ship.
Boiler explosions are the terror Of
the seafaring man," said an old time
deep water captain. "Such q thing is
bad enough on dry land, but imagine q
catastrophe Of that kind at sea. In
ninety-nine cases out Of a hundred it
al the absolute wiping out of the
craft itself and every soul on board.
@sThe average landsman would be
greatly shocked in looking over the
maritime records to see how many yes.
sells disappear each year and leave
absolutely no clew to their fate. They
run well up to the hundred mark, and
such a mystery is not to be explained
away by storms. A Chinese typhoon
may swoop down like lightning out of
a clear sky and tear a ship to pieces,
but some floating wreckage is sure. to
tell the tale. A boiler explosion, on the
contrary, will blow a hole al big as q
railroad tunnel right through the center
of the hull, and the stricken vessel
simply goes down like a shot. There
Is no time to Qnfasten a boat from the
davits or cut loose a spar.
I'm the opinion Of seamen, that is
the story of at least 80 per cent Of the
ships that leave port and are never
heard Of again. Luckily the modern
system of marine boiler inspection
Is extremely strict and thorough, but it
is impossible to absolutely prevent
carelessness and fraud, and often
enough, no doubt, the fault lies with
the engineer.
'"There is an old story Of a drunken
Scotchman who mistook the Their.
mometer for the steam gage and 'cuss.
ed out the stokers because he couldn't
get the pressure above 80. That yarn
will hardly hold water, but I've seen
cases almost as bad. l am glad to say,
however, that during the past 10 years
there has been a steady diminution of ,
the number Of vessels which smys.
t%eriously disappear That is due, be.
yond all question, to the Increased
stringency Of boiler inspection and the
greater strictness of examinations be.
