OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Editor Courier:-I have noticed in
your columns, as well as in other pa
pers, some talk of the Rock Island cut
off from either Eldon, Floris or Drake
vile to Trenton.
Now, what is the object of rail
road company making these cut offs
Is it to favor a few larger towns? l
should say no. 1t is in order to get a
more direct line between two given
points, thus enabling them to make
better and shorter time.
In all the articles | have seen, none
start at the proper place to make this
cut off, all starting west of the great
est difficulty on the whole Rock Island
system, viz: the Eldon hill
The original survey, which was
somewhat more indirect than they
make them now, left the present track
at or near Cedar Creek between Fair
field and Libertyville taking some
what southwesterly course crossing
the river at Selma, continuing on to
Bloomfield thence on to Trenton.
1t is we'll known fact that the
country between Cedar Creek and Sci
ma is all underlaid with coal of the
best quality. In fact the Eldon Coal
company is now negotiating leases on
some of this coal land
The Rock Island by making this cut
off will have the shortest line between
Kansas City and Chicago
In view of the fact that all rail
road companies are making cut offs
and equipping their roads with better
rolling stock, thus enabling them to
make better time and cut out some di-
vision pionts, it is now rumored that
Eldon will soon lose the division.
1t is our opinion that the officials are
contemplating the only feasible cut off,
from Cedar Creek to Trenton, of
which they have had surveyed for
many years and which is now on file
in their general offices in Chicago.

Heavy Storm in Afternoon the Cause
Memorial Services Carried Out at

[From Mondays Daily.l
The severe storm Of yesterday af-
ternoon marred the memorial eXer-
cises of the Knights of Pythias and the
|. o. o. F. lodges, who had made ar
rangements to decorate the graves of
then dead brothers. After the worst
of the storm had broken, however, the
Knights of Pytlias, headed by the
Wapello Chief band, marched to the
Ottumwa cemetery where the lodge
carried out it's ritualistic services for
the dead. The streets We're very mud
dy and made marching hardship,but
considering the condition of the wealth
er a very satisfactory attendance was
present, and the day was celebrated in
a fitting manner. After the rain, the
Odd Fellows decided not to carry out
their program, and did not go to the
cemetery at all. This lodge will prob
ably send committee to the cemetery
and decorate the graves of its men,
bers and not hold regular services.
During the morning the different Odd
Fellow lodges of the North and South
Side, escorted by Ottumwa Canton No.
5, Patriarchs Militant, marched to the
Shaul cemetery where the ritualistic
services of the I. o. o. r. lodge was
carried out, in honor of the dead bur-
led in that cemetery. The lodges then
returned to their various stations and
at 2 o'clock all the Odd Fellows So
cieties and the Knights of Pythias
were ready to proceed to Ottumwa
cemetery.
The Storm Broke.
About this time, however, the storm,
which had been threatening for some
time, broke with much fury, and for
nearly an hour it looked as though all
the services would have to be post
poned. About 8 o'clock, however, the
rain had nearly ceased, and the heav-
ems had begun to clear off. The
Knights Of Pythias then decided to go
ahead with their exercises and COM
mittee was sent to the Odd Fellows
hall to notify those lodges. The Odd
Fellows had given up to the elements,
however, and had decided not to par
ticipate, so the Knights of Pythias
went out by themselves.

Sleep in Dangerous Place.

[From Saturdays Daily.l
John Hieronemus, of Eldon, came to
town today. There is nothing start
ling about this statement, but the &C.
lions of John after he reached the
metropolis are somewhat remarkable,
From all appearances the first thing
John did after he reached Ottumwa
was to plentifully supply himself with
firewater. Then he went down to the
Rock Island yards, where he climbed
upon the top of a box car and went to
sleep. Chief Gray does not believe Mr..
Hieronemus was used to sleeping at
such a high altitude. He had not
been sleeping very long, until sudden
ly he began to roll. Anybody knows
it takes but one or two turns to roll
eff the top of box car. This Is what
Hieronemus did. He also lit upon his
nose. That part of his facial adorn-
menL, looks as though an elephant had
stepped on it. About the time John
had gotten partly through with his

was given an ovation for the record
that Iowa Masonry has made during

of Newton r. Parvin as deputy grand

grand lodge that he is the natural and
logical successor of his father, Theo-
dore S. Parvin, of Cedar Rapids, who
was reelected grand secretary, but
whose death is expected at any time.
The following appointments were
made by the new grand master, l.. J..

LEFT HAND CRUSHED
Serious Accident to Carroll Deeds
Saturday Night.
SWITCH ENGINE RAN OVER MEMBER
Amputation Made Necessary-Was Ly-
ing in Drunken Stupor Near Rail-
road Track-Accident Not Discover
ed Until Man Had Been Arrested.
IFrom Mondays Daily.l

From Mondays Daily.l
While lying in an intoxicated con,
dition near the Milwaukee railroad
track, in the vicinity of South Union
street about 8 O'Clock Saturday night
Carroll Deeds, in some manner placed
his left hand upon the rails, and a
switch engine passing about that time,
the entire hand, with the exception of
his thumb was so badly mashed that
amputation was necessary. Shortly
after the accident occurred, some one
living in that vicinity telephoned the
police station that man was lying on
the track, and the patrol wagon was
sent to the scene, and Deeds taken to
the police station. During all this
time he did not know he had been in
jured and it was not until after the Of
GERS had begun searching the man at
the station that his injuries We're dis
covered. He was so drunk up to this
time he had not felt the pain, and was
so stupefied that he did not know he
was injured.
Taken to Hospital.
Chief Gray saw that the man was
badly hurt when he was brought in,
so the chief called a number of physi-
clans and Deeds was taken to the OF
tumwa hospital Here it was seen an
operation was absolutely necessary, so
one was performed. The operation
was performed by Doctors Williams,
.Houck and Bannister. The left hand
was removed as far back as the thumb
which was saved. J
Is Mystery.
How the accident occurred is a mys-
terry. Deeds does not remember him
self. 1t is thought, he was walking
around that vicinity, and in some man
ner stumbled and fell. He probably
fell asleep, and while sleeping threw
his hands about grasping the rail with
his left hand The Milwaukee switch
engine enroute to the packing house
is supposed to have passed about this
time and run over the hand as it rest
ed on the rail. AS near as can be
learned none of the switchmen or en-
ginemen remember of striking any
thing, and Deeds did not wake up
when he was hurt. In fact he was not
awakened until the patrol wagon pick
ed him up, and as stated before, did
not know he was injured until after
he had been taken to the police sta
ton.
