EWART BROS. FAIL.
Immense Cattle Feeders of Poweshiek
County Assign.

Montezuma, Oct. lathe Ewart
Bros, extensive cattle feeders failed
Saturday, making an assignment to
preferred creditors. The smaller
creditors have employed attorneys and
the partnership will undoubtedly be
thrown into bankruptcy.
The exact amount of the failure is
not yet known but 1 400 acres of the
best land in Poweshiek county, worth
over 100000 was conveyed to the
preferred creditors as well as all equ-
ity in thousands of feeding cattle
which the firm owned, but which were
mostly covered with chattel mort
cages.
Matt Ewart and Robert Ewart, mem
bers of the Ewart Bros. firm, have
been feeding cattle on an enormous
scale for a number of years. One
crother lives in magnificent farm
residence costing $4,000, and the
firm owned 1900 acres of valuable
land around the station of Ewart, a
few miles northwest of here on the
Iowa Central. With the feeding barns,
sheds, machinery, wells, engines, ten
ants, houses, ETC., the estate was
worth between 100000 and $250.O00
and the number of cattle seen in their
yards often rivaled the stories of Mex
lean cattle kings.
The cause of failure is simply a
series of years of Improbable bust
ness. Careful business men in Monte
yuma and Grinnell have suspected for
some time that the business was not
the bonanza it looked and this is onls
the expected crash that came.

WITH BLOOD HOUNDS
A Human Fiend Traced and
Caught With Brutes.

Melrose. Iowa, Oct, 13-A sensa-
tional rape case occurred Saturday
afternoon about two miles south Of
this place. The victim is a little
girl named Gertrude KiIlion. aged
about 10 years, daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Killion, farmers resid-
ing near Melrose Ed Egbert, aged
26, young farmer is arrested for
the crime and is in Jail in Abba. He
was tracked by blood hounds, placed
under arrest and is now confined in
the Abba fail The crime is one of
the worst in the history of Monroe
county.
The child had been to Melrose for
the mail and was returning to her
home afoot. When about a mile out
of the town she was accosted by a
strange young man who was reclining
under a tree at the side Of the road.
She was frightened at the actions and
manner of the fellow and started to
run. He pursued the girl and stopped
her cries by threats to kill her if she
did not keep quiet. He dragged her
into a slough or ditch near the road
and there rayished her. Having ac-
complished his purpose he left the
child and escaped across the country.
The child, more dead than alive, in
a most pitiable condition dragged her
self to the nearest house and there told
what had befallen her. The clothing
was torn from her little body and she
was covered with blood from her
wounds. A posse was Immediately
organized and the country in the vi
cinity of the crime was secured but
without result. No one answering
the description given by the child was
found. Sheriff Doner, of Abba, was
summoned and pack of blood hounds
were brought from Knoxville to the
scene of the crime. The dogs readily
took the trail and went across coun-
try to Melrose and Immediately to. the
Murray Hotel. They were admitted
to the house and bounded up the
stairs, into a room in the building
and clambered onto a bed in the room
and bayed loudly at finding the occu-
pant gone.
1t was ascertained that a young man
named Ed Egbert had occupied the
room Friday night and had changed
| his clothes in the room Sunday morn
| ing The young man had gone from
| the city to the home of his father,
Daniel EgDert, residing near Melrose.
| he was Immediately arrested by the
| constable upon his return to the city
and turned over to Sheriff Doner of
Abba. He was taken before the little
girl and was positively identified by
the child. He was then taken to Abba
and is confined in the jail at that
place The community in which the
crime was committed is terribly stir
| red up over the affair and could it
| have been 4,nown or certain that Eg-
bert was the guilty party a lynching
would have resulted, for the people
were terribly incensed. Egbert is
now pretty badly frightened and is on
the defensive, though he pleaded not
guilty at first and said he could prove
an alibi.
Egbert was charged with a similar
offense about four years ago, but the
crime was never proven against him.
He has at other times deported him
| self in a proper manner and was
thought we'll of in the neighborhood
in which he. moved.
| The child victim although terribly
abused and completely Frustrated will
recover.

\ beautiful instance of Christian fiiel.

Christian young woman who was spending
a few weeks OF summer at a certain hotel
in a favorite resort in the East.
An effort was made TO induce her to at

might have the prestige bestowed by her
presence, as she stood high in society She
declined all the opportunities of her
friends.
Finally, an honorable Senator tried to
persuade her to attend. saying: Miss

In several parts of the world a

and bearing considerable resemblance
TO beeswax. is found. usually in con-
nection with rock salt and coal. There
are deposits in Austria. Russia. Rou
mania, Egypt. Algeria, Canada and
Mexico. buo ozocerite has. so far. not
been discovered in sufficient quaint
ties to pay for mining anywhere ex-
cept in the district of Boryslav. In
Austrian Galicia. and on an island on
the west coast of the Caspian sea. In
mining this mineral wax, shafts are
sunk until a bed or nest of ozocer-
lite is struck. Then connection gal
leries are driven. There is consider
able danger. and many lives have been
lost in consequence OF the sudden fore
ing up of the soft wax into the shafts
by the enormous pressure to which
It is subjected. 1t is .sed largely for
manufacturing ceresin. which is en-
1loyed. together with beeswax, for
making wax candles. as well as in the
manufacture of Photographic cylin-
ders, and for many similar purposes.

MONSTER INCUBATOR.
An Australian Machine, Built on the
Principle, with ca
pacity of 14,SOO Eggs.

According to a Sydney paper, Aus
tralia has. the largest duck ranch i'll
the world, and has just completed. with
most excellent success, the largest in
cubator in the world. The incubator
has a capacity of II, 440 duck eggs, or
14,S00 hen eggs. The machine is built
on the dollhouse principle, and, in fact,
is n h~ot-house. 1t stands in the open
and is constructed of ordinary pine
weather boards, with corrugated iron
roof. The egg trays each hold 1870 duck
or 100 hen eggs, and there are fou OF
these end to end in II tiers, one above
the other on each side of the room,
making a total of SIS. Moisture is sup
piled in pans beneath the bottom tier
of trays. The heat is supplied by
means of steam pipes from the boiler,
which is kept constantly going to fur
nish motive power for the various
works in conenction with the estab-
lishment. The incubator is said to be
working well and bringing out a large
percentage of ducks. This season the
machine has brought from 10 to so per
cent. and the proprietor has about
5000 ducklings. The incubator will be
watched with much interest by the
American incubator men.-Journal of

SPRING POULTRY NOTES.

The sitting hen should have a daily
dust bath.
Keep the hen-hatched chicks dry
and warm.
Be sure that your poultry has COM
Portable quarters.
Ducks and geese should never be
kept with chickens.
Early pullets are the profitable
winter egg chickens.
Young ducks should have an abun-
dance of coarse sand.
The hen and her chicks should he
protected from the wind.
If an old rooster is not fit for the
table, kill him and bury him.
Hens will lay as well without the
attention of the male as with it.
Filthy quarters produce sickness,
and sick hens will not produce eggs.
1t is a good plan to have a board
floor for the coop which holds the
hen and chicks.
1t has been proven by experiment
that it pays better to feed milk to
chickens than to pigs.-Commercial
