said he. saw a man drive away in it
about twenty minutes before. but no

the Reporter outlined the work OF the
Illinois Central Good Roads Associa-

ganization. which works along the lines
of the "old Reliable" building roads
and exemplifying the need of better
highways by comparison. For some time
arrangements have been under way to
secure the outfit here. The association
does it's work free so far as carrying the
freight, furnishing the machinery and
competent men to build the roadway.
The county and city pay for extra work
men and usually some road is made that
will have to be fixed by the city or coun
ty and the city and county pay the sum
1t would cost to repair the roads were 1t
done in the old way.
Seven cars are necessary to transport
the road Improvement machinery and
the day, not yet set. will be an interest
ing one for the residents of the county.
The country and city folks will be in
vited to attend and see what good
road is wheE completed and how it is
made. The road made in this county
will be along the quicksand stretch east
Of the old city limits line There are
thirty rods here that in certain seasons
Of the year are almost impossible. There
is another stretch of half mile leading
leading to Shilliam's addition which is

be graded. 1t costs about $500 per mile
TO make the good road. Further news of
the proposed work will be given later.

Cedar Rapids. Sept. 13.-The state
convention of the l. C. C.. went on record
yesterday as taking no definite stand
en- the liquor question. The following
resolution was introduced by the COM
mittee on resolutions and was promptly
squelched, not, however, without first
creating very heated discussion on
that issue, in which language was used
sonal attacks so customary in the polit-
ical convention. Following is the cause
of the commotion:
Resolved, That we as a people desire
it to be known to the world that we
favor the total abstinence of the indi-
vidual from the use of Intoxicating Ii
quors and the suppression of the saloon;
that we believe that government is more
secure and helpful when those who are
chosen to administer it are friendly to
the highest moral and religious inter-
ests of the people"
r. T.. Lowe offered the following as a
substitute resolution which was turned
down as being improper matter to come
before such body:
Whereas. We regard the liquor traffic
as the subtle enemy of the home and at
enmity with all that is good in ciyiliza-
ton and the chief obstacle to the COM
uletion of the kingdom of Chrisa, and
Whereas, The gubernatorial candi-
dates of the two old parties in the state
of Iowa are openly friendly to the Ii
quor interests and avowed enemies of
the prohlbitory law, be it
Resolved, That we, the Disciples of
Christ, in convention assembled. do
hereby protest against the candidacy of
such men and do pledge ourselves to
do all we can for the defeat of said
candidates and further be 1t
Resolved. That we heartily endorse
the anti-canteen law as furnished by
the last congress as wise and Just

of the convention that the war should

satisfied with the result. one delegate
remarked, "They might just as well

HAUNTED BY POVERTY.
Pitiful Case Of Sam Harris, of Calhoun
County.

sPitiful Case Of Sam Harris, of Calhoun
County.
Special to Times Republican.
Jefferson, Sept. 13.--Reports from the
asylum concerning Sam Harris, the jo-
vial newspaper man and farmer of CAL
noun county, are not as encouraging as
his friends had hoped would be the
case. Mr.. Harris case is not of the VIC
lent type; In fact, upon nearly every
point he Is entirely rational. 1t is doubt
ful II the records of insane sylums
show q more pathetic case than that of
Sam Harris. Mr.. Harris is veteran
newspaper man, having worked on Chi
scago daily papers. later was city editor
OF the Dubuque Times. connected with
sweeklies in Iowa, and later in charge of
"a department in a Rockwell City paper
Some years ago he bought 100 acres of
land near Jolley. in Calhoun county. He
has been successful; paid for his farm,
the value OF which has more than dou-
sbled since it's purchase. and had money
in the bank. In fact. his condition was
exceedingly comfortable. However,
there crept into Mr. Harris mind the
wretched fear that he was becoming
poor and that he and his family would
charge. The argument of his most init
mate friends and relatives seemed ut
terly without effect In disabusing his
mind OF this strange hallucination. FL
3nallJ he began to hint that rather than
FFDee his dear ones starveg he would put
them out of the way, together with
himself Then 1t was deemed advisable
to bring about an investigation, with
he ,ot y,
that Mr.. Harris condition made 1t adj
ivisable that he should be sent to the
asylum. The pathetic feature of this
matter was that Harris was fully cog
INFANT of what was being done and on
that point entirely rational. In fact,
rave for the persistent dread of power
ty, and that without shadow of reason,
he was a clear-headed and sane man.
On the way to the station in Rockwell
City, breeding over imagined financial
trouble. he suddenly jumped away from
the officer and sought to throw himself
in front of a locomotive. On the train
he seemed ational and talked with the
officer concerning various matters. Har
ris was sitting next to the window.
which was open. The train was running
at the rate of more than forty miles an
hour when. without the least warning,
he gave lunge outward, and before the
officer could lay hands upon him, was
out OF the window. The train was
stopped and half mile back Harris
was found sitting alongside the track.
He was somewhat dazed but practically
uninjured. AT the asylum he is rational
the greater part of the time and is
largely at liberty. but occasionally the
spectre of poverty comes over him and
1t is feared he may never shake it off.
