DRUGGISTS ERROR FATAL,
Manson Man Given Wrong Medicine
Which Killed Him,

Manson. May John Graham is
dead. The error of druggist proved
fatal to him. The drink which he took
for a medicine was the cause of his I'M
timely death. Joe Wiewel, the pharma-
cist in the Fox Wiewel- Graham Drug
Companys store at Rolfe made the
mistake that cost Graham his life.
John Graham was sick with the grip
for few days preceding his death. His
brother Tom had occasion to go to
Rolfe a week ago last Monday, and
John asked him to bring him a quart Of
alcohol and 20 cents worth of rock
candy, which mixture he intended to
drink to cure the grip. He drank some
of the deadly mixture on Tuesday and
went to bed Tuesday evening with no
bad effects from it. When Wednesday
morning came, he had violent head
ache. Congestion of the brain rapidly
developed and he died al $3.50 We1nes-
day evening. He drank sparingly of
the mixture or his death would have
been much quicker. Wood alcohol is
one of the deadliest of posons, there
being no antidote for 1t.
The druggist who made the mistake
admits that he was to blame. Some
one working about the store changed

HEART DISEASE THE CAUSE.
Body of James B. Hosue, of corydon
Found in His Field,

| 0uu9 iti IT'S TIeiC.
Corydon, May FLAMES B. Hogue
one of our old and most respected citi-
Zens of the county, was found dead in
his pasture field yesterday. Mr. Hogue
was ~ years old, and suffered from
heart disease, that predisposed him to
occasional severe paroxysms, and it is
thought that one of these spells came
on him while out in the field and re-
suited in almost instant death. He had
been in his usual health and able to
look after his large farm interests.
Soon after breakfast Wednesday morn
ing he left the house to walk over to an
adjoining field to look after his fifty OF
sixty head of cattle that he had just
turned on grass, and not returning at
dinner time the family thought that
he had walked over to his sons, living
close by, and remained with them for
dinner. Later search was made for him
and about dark his body was found.
James B. Hogue was a man known for
miles around his home as one of the
best of men, honest and honorable and
kind to the poor. He was rich, having
farm of several hundred acres, inn
proved with beautiful home surround
ings, large barns and plenty of stock.
He was a man respected for his honest
fidelity to principle and integrity; was
republican in politics, and often boast
ed that he never scratched his ticket;
was a prohibtionist and would not
touch liquor under any circumstance
He was kind and sympathetic to his
neighbors and always especially so to
those poor and needy. He leaves six
children-three boys and three girls.
The funeral is arranged for Saturday.

we believe that all desire harmony in
this county, and strong and effective

lieve that local contest should be

Fort Dodge, May 2.-The Fort Dodge

tractors who are in search of men to
work on the new lines of construction
near the city. Every few mornings
bring in harvest of buns who have
no money with which to pay their fines
and are an encumbrance to the peace
and prosperity of the city. They can be
put to no better use than working on
the railroads, and most Of them are
willing to do so. for a time at least.
The contractors have learned this and
have man on hand every morning to
gather up the men whom he can Sc
cure. A few mornings ago a gang of
eighteen was secured, all docketed for
being drunk or yags, We're taken out,
and yesterday morning eight more
were taken away. Mayor Bennett con-
siders this scheme to be far more eff
fective and practical than the stone
