Nowadays, in this city and country,
a man of business may be man of
action quite as complete and pictures
que as any soldier of Napoleon with a
baton in his knapsack. He may be as
great swashbuckler as any one of the
Three Guards1nen, and do things as
dramatic and morally reckless as sack
ing a ely. Cortes, fiching the riches
of Mexico--how poor the treasure he
.audaciously usurped compared with the
profit from a sensational railway coup
or the consolidation of steel companies J.
1t surely takes as much imagination,
dash, and resolute capacity to wrest a
great fortune from industrial and mer-
camille adventure today as it did long
ago to conquer province. The astute
and daring business man is master of
his fate Perhaps he sometimes for
gets that he is also captain of his
sou1'; but if he has not, like the ancient
Conquistadores, bishop in his train
to take possession in the name of the
sacraments, he need not go without the
approval of holy sacra ment unless he is
very stingy. Does M. lie Roux think
that the modern woman lacks sense of
it all? She has not yet herself, as part
of her progress come into the path of
what Treadwel1 Cleveland Gin laying
the Metro oolitan lease before the COURT
referred to SO ironically as this thing
called high finance" But it would be
risky to give her chances to marry into
it if acceptance were not desired,

Yesterday, one of the men who have
had a victorious career in that down
town qnarter where the streets are so
tremendously quiet that nothing seems
to be going on wanted to write>a letter.
He wanted to write it at once; so, as he
left the office Of his legal counsel to go
home, he entered nearby door mark

There was a slim, calm, severely intel
lig gent woman clicking the keys of a
machine by the window. She directed
her eyes moment, just moment, to
his silk hat-which stayed on his head
then motioned him to q chair and
prepared to take dictation' He PRE-
pared TO give it and leaning on his
stick he looked thoughtfully at the ma
chine, then up at the walf-when he
started, read a sign printed there, read
another and then another. This is
what they said-to him, one of the to-
wering personages of the street:
Aim high, and you'll perhaps accom-
plish something.
Pain and bitterness are about the
only goods money can procure.
Don't expect to get rich by leaps

That May Be Important

A Webster City Fisherman Makes Find
That May Be Important
Webster City, June 24.-While fishing
yesterday George Maffit found a travel
ing mans grip floating along near the
edge OF the river just above the old
Chase mill. The grip was soaked thru
and floating upside down.
Maffit would likely have paid no at
tention to the grip but it came down
the river Immediately in front of where
he stood fishing. He pulled it from the
water to the bank and examined it. 1t
contained many letters, papers and
some few private belongings, all of
which were wet thru from long ex-
posture to water. 1t had previously been
pried open and rified. The letters re-
in it indicated that it belonged
to Walter c. Hurd who was engaged in
work for a loan and trust company.
His home is either in Washington, D.
c., or at Hotel Eureka, Salt Lake City,
Utah. According to the letters found in
the grip he has brother j. w. at the
above address in Salt Lake City. In
quiry at the hotels in this city indicates
that Mr. Hurd had not registered or
stopped here. The dates on the letters
found in the grip show that the last
one was received June 8.

Board OF Control Asks Executive
Council for $4,000 for the
School for Deaf.
Council Not Inclined to Give
More Than $25,C00.-.Lindt

Department Aides and Soldiers
Home Committee Announced
by GAR. Commander.

Des Moines, June "a. = Chairman
John Cownie, of the board OF control
appeared before the executive council
yesterday and after setting forth the
eeds of the institution for the deaf at
Council Bluffs, asked the council to ap-
propriate $4,000 out of the proViden-
tial contingent fund. The executive
council has heretofore indicated its
unwillingness to appropriate more than
$4,000 out of the fund. The council
took Mr.. Cownie's statement under adj
it. Auditor Merriam is now in the east.
Under the terms of the appropriation
act, it is thought to be mandatory to
have the unanimous vote of the mem
herS of the council to make an appro-
pration out of the providential contin-
gent fund. Under these circumstances,
ii was felt best to wait until Mr.. Mer-
Ram should return. He is expected
back Wednesday.
The board of control has figured that
in order to equip the temporary build
with such furniture as will be disable
for more than temporary purposes at
least 81, 900 will be needed. The board
has awarded contracts for building,
plumbing and heating that reach a to-
tai of $4,000, and it feels that only by
putting in a cheap grade of furniture
will it be able to get along with less
than $4,000.
The report of DR.. C. w. Mackin, in
spector of county and private institu-
tons where the insane are kept, to the
board of control shows that Woodbury.
county hospital is one of those in the
state that is being poorly conducted
DR.. Mackin says the facilities for the
care of patients are poor. There is but
one bath tub in the whole institution
and this is in the laundry building,
away from the main building, so that a
patient in inclement weather is exposed
to the cold before he can return from
the bath room to his quarters. Worse
than this, it was found that tSo pa
tients were commonly bathed in the
same water. There is no sewerage
system, the rooms are untidy, patients
are allowed butter but twice day and
at meal times the insane patients are
attended by none but the pauper in
mates The officers and attendants
take their meals at the same time as
the patients and the insane are thus
left to the tender mercies of the pau

Russell, the widely known locomotive
engineer of the northern division of the

was the victim of a distressing accident
Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock.
His left eyes was so badly lacerated by
pieces Of broken glass that it had to be
entirely removed. The operation was
performed two hours after the accident
occurred, SO that the danger of the
vision of the other eye being sympa-
thetically affected in obviated. The at
tending oculist hopes that the sight of
the right eye will not be seriously dis
turbed and will continue almost normal
Mr. Russell was in the cab of his To-
connective bringing it out of the round
house when without warning the lubri-
eating oil glass exploded. The only
piece of the glass that struck him IN the
face was the small triangular fragment
that entered the ball of the left eye.

Oelwein. June 24.-The saloon ele-
ment here aroused considerable indig-
nation by an attempt to have cele-
bration of Independence day on July
3rd, in order that the law relating to
saloons closing on holidays might be
evaded. The saloon element was of the
scheme They wanted a big celebra-
ton on the 3rd when they could keep
their places of business open and have
full swing. AS soon as the matter be-
gan to assume definite form protests
began to come from all quarters. The
protests eliminated in an indignation
evening at which the subject was fully
discussed and the better class of citi-
zens expressed their Indignation at the
lawless and high handed arrogance of
the saloon element which presumed to
dictate as to how and when the citi-
zens of Oelwein should celebrate the
Fourth. Matters reached climax and
it was resolved that under no consider
ations would the 3rd of July be SO OBJ
served. AT last accounts the saloon ele-
ment had concluded to give up the fight
and call the thing off, so that If there
be a celebration at Oelwein this year it
will be on the day appointed for that
purpose and with the saloons closed.
This also meets with the approval of
the shopmen who would practically
lose their holiday if the celebration
We're held on the Srd instead of the
4th. Nothing has quite so stirred up
the city for some and it seems as il the
forces of law and order will come out
ahead

HANGED HIMSELF IN SHOP.
Shoemaker Named Nelson johnson
Suicided at Lake City.

Lake City, June 24.-Nelson Johnson,
who has been in the shoe repairing
business in Lake City for about two
years, was found dead with rope
around his neck hanging from nail
over the door casing in a room in the
rear of his shop building Sunday.
Shortly after o'clock Paul Ralston,
with whom Nelson had been rooming
for the last month, started out to look
for him, he not having turned up at
the usual time for breakfast. Ralston
went to the shop and tried the door,
but it was locked on the inside. He
saw the door key and an account book
lying in the window, and fearing some
thing was amiss, he hunted up Con
stable A. c. Curtis, and together they
forced the rear entrance and found the
body in the back room as before stated.
Drs. McVay and McCrary were noti-
fed, and upon examination they found
that the deed had been committed in
the early part of the night previous
Unable to secure communication with
the coroner. an autopsy was held by
Justice A. Strong. In the pocket OF
the dead mans coat, which was re-
moved, was found revolver. Lying
near the front window was his account
book wrapped in a newspaper, bust
ness letter, slip of paper on which
were some figures, and a bunch o:
keys. In the account book when
opened was found an envelope adj
dressed to his daughter Mrs. F. Hug
hart, Havelock, Neb, which contained
the following letter:
DIR Minnie
Butrick shot me he is working
for Chafe he is Drai man.
your father
The letter is explained by the fact
that johnson had retained the delusion
that ButrijA and some other men were
him on the streets every
night. He probably first intended to
shoot himself and changed this plan
without destroying the note.
Between the rope and the suicides
neck was a handkerchief His feet
were touching the floor, and he could
easily have saved himself from stran-
by rising on his tiptoes There
is no doubt that temporary insanity
was the cause of the rash act.
