HAS LIVED 1903 YEARS.
Abel Washburn, Of Quasqueton Has
Lived in Three Centuries.

Walker, Ia, June 9.-Born almost a
year before George Washington died,
Abel 5vashburn still lives and on Mon
day, June 2. still bright of mind and
comparatively active, celebrated his
103d birthday at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Susan Gageby, in Quasque-
ton.
Born in the third year of the admins
tration of John Adams, he has lived
during the administration of every
president of the United States with the
single exception of George Washington.
At the time of his birth, the nation
that is now greatest in all the world
was but ten years old and comprised
only small group of states along the
eastern coast. Florida and all the vast
territory west of the Mississippi river
was still the property of Spain. Napol-
con had not yet reached the zenith of
his power and there was no Monroe
doctrine to prevent the spread of his
empire in America. The next year
France acquired from Spain the great
Louisiana territory. Thomas Jefferson
was vice president. and congress met in
New York and Philadelphia, Washing
ton not yet having been made the CALI
ital of the nation.
Mr.. Washburn cast his first vote for
John Quincy Adams for president and
his life spans almost the entire history
of the nation. For more than three
score years he has been a resident of
Iowa. Born June 2, 1899, at Cambridge,
N. Y, he was married there to Mrs. Es-
tfer Cole. In 1887 the family left New
York, settling in Illinois, where they re-
NAMED but a short time, coming then
to Fairbank. Ia, where they purchased
land and made their home until 1855.
In the latter year they moved to Quas-
queton, where Mrs. Washburn died in
1881. Mr.. Washburn is the father of
seven children, six of whom are living,
the Oldest, son, being n years of age
and residing in Ohio.

Gale Which Swept the

ST. Paul, Mimi. June "a battle was
fought with pistols and shotguns at 5
O'Clock last night between three citizens
and thirty Italians employed in a camp
on the Chicago Great Western road at
the end of the Concord street car line,
resulting in the serious injury of four
men, two of whom will die The in
jured:
N. Narcotic, zoe Ramsey street, Min
neapolis; shot in chest and hands.
A. Roberg, $50 Concord street, st.
Paul, Mimi; shot in face and abdomen;
will die.
Joseph St Dore. Italian laborer; shot
in face; will lose his sight.
Fred Wyman, 556 Concord street, ST.
Paul, Mimi; shot in the abdomen; will
probably die.
The battle resulted from insults Of
fered to two women who We're passing
the camp of the laborers. Pistols were
used on both sides, but which party
fired the first shot is not known.
The Italians had been driking, and
when citizens passed the camp their
wives Were made the target OF disre-
spectful remarks. The men We're an
gered and threatened to kill the labor
ers.
The women hurried to their homes
and the Italians took to ditch. A pis-
tol shot rang out, and then came a fus-
illade from the worllmen.
Firing caaSaS for a r,nnoept md ono
of the Italians ran to the camp shanty
and brought out a shotgun. Three shots
were fired with this, and three men fell.
Roberg, Narcotic and Wyman were
taken to the hospital by the police.
Mrs. Roberg says that none of their
party fired a shot. st. Dore, the injured
Italian, is declared to have been pound
ed across the face with a club in the
hands of Roberg, who intercepted him
as he was returning to the camp with
can of beer.
Twenty of the Italians are under ar
rest awaiting the result of the fight.

Prices for Poetry.
PHILADELPHIA Record. ]

Ihe conversation around a club ta-
bic drifted to the subject of magazine
poetry. II have often wondered" said
one of the group, and l dare say most
magazine readers have wondered with
me, just how the fellows who write
verses are paid. Are they paid at the
rate Of so much a line, just as any 9TH
err manufactured product is purchased,
or does quality count for more than
more length?" The quiet young man
in the corner pricked up his ears. 81
haven't much reputation as a poet, he
said, modestly, but 1 occasionally get
into the magazines, and 1 have often
wondered at the same thing. For in
stance, some time ago I sent verse of
only ten lines to certain magazine,
and received a check of SIS for it. Fiji
ty Gets line, you know, is pretty good
pay; and in this case the lines We're
very short, averaging only about five
words. AT this rate l argued that was
being paid almost as well as Kipling,
who refuses to sell his stuff for less
than shilling a word. So 1 ground
out q thing of six stanZas. of eight lines
each, making forty-elght lines in all,
and for this also received check for
So. Both of these things, so widely
different as to length, seemed to strike
the editor So worth. On the other hand
some editors have a set rule. A New
York weekly, devoted to society inter-
ests, pays at the uniform rate of 25
cents a quatrain for verse, and then
signs your stuff 1.-THE idiot" 1.-THE
Chump" or something like that. An
other weekly that 1 sometimes send
stuff to pays a dollar quatrain, and
never varies the price, unless it lends
itself to illustration, when the editor
increases the rate. When l have col

CHICAGO Defeats California.

Chicago, June 9.--The dual meet be-
tw cen the University of Chicago and
the University of California at Mar
shall Field was won Saturday by chi
cajso by a score of s to 5. Shortly after
the games were called a drizzling rain
sci. in, which finally ended in a terrific
Gownpour, which put stop. temporari-
iy, to the events. When the officials
again called the athletes to resume the
games there was fully two inches of
water on the track. while the field was
a miniature lake. Under such condi-
titns fast work was out of the ques-
ton. The best race of the day was
the 220-yard dash, participated in by
Blair and Sem of Chicago and Cado-

BOER WAR AND STOCKS.
Heury cIews Reviews the Probable
Effect of the close of the War.

Feury CIeWS Reviews the Probable
Effect of the close of the War.
New York, June s.-Henry Clews
Weekly Financial Review says:
The coal strike was a wet blanket
upon the stock market. Fear that the
contest might be prolonged and end in
conflict and in destruction of property
acted detrimentally upon the whole
market, to say nothing of the feeling
that the aggressive attitude of labor
leaders seriously threatened the contin-
lance of prosperity. The feeling re-
garding the coal strike is that the min
ers have already received many con-
cessions: that the tendency of their
unions has been to materially lessen
the efficiency of labor, and that the OPP
orators are disinclined to refer what
they consider unfair demands to arbi-
tration, especially when they lack con-
fidence in the proposed medium of ar
httration, which they fear will be more
influenced by political and sympathetic
considerations than be unbiased expert
Judgment The situation therefore, is a
most unfortunate one, the outcome of
which can not be predicted at this time,
aitho the operators show much conf
dence In the position which they have
taken, viz, that the unions can not be
permitted to run the coal business.
The most important event in many
weeks was the declaration of peace in
South Africa. It's immediate effect
seems to have been fully discounted,
but eventually wider and more last
ing effect will be produced. Britain is
relieved from most depressing and
wasteful strain. British energy and
capital are now sure to display a re-
vival that will have worldwide infiu-
ence. AT first this energy will be
chiefly directed to African mines and
local development, which will make

THE IOWA PHARMACISTS.
Annual Meeting of the State Associa-
ton at Sioux City.

|
Sioux City, June st thought 1 was
making it strong when | said the annu-
al meeting of the Iowa Pharmaceutical
| Association here, July to 10, would
bring 500 people to Sioux City; now
say there will be 1000" declared b. j.
| Aloster, secretary of the association.
Such an attendance has been APP
preached but once, at Waterloo several
years ago, when the visitors numbered
over 700. Last year at Storm Lake
there were not more than 800.
One reason why Sioux City will at
tract large attendance is that the
association has mere money than ever
before. Mr.. kloster has $1,000 for
prizes and between $500 and $500 for
entertainments In short he has all the
money he wants to make this the assoc
cations most successful meeting, and
he is spending it.
The Western Passenger Associa ton
has made one and one-third fare for
all Iowa the second week in July, on
the certificate plan. The rates will
bring many visitors who are not drug
gists, but who will come to Sioux City
~
cling men, representatives of wholesale
drug and supply houses. Special enter
tainment will be provided for women,
and 100 to zoo wives and daughters Of
druggists are expected.
The business meetings of the associ-
alton will be held in the armory; for
pleasure the visitors will go each after
noon to Riverside.
OF the $1,000 for prizes, $500 will be
given for the best papers on twelve
topics of special interest to druggists.
The subjects have been sent out by
Secretary Fletcher Howard, of Des
Moines, to all parts of the state. The
themes relate to publication of drugs,
establishment of more friendly rela-
lions between druggists and physicians,
the best education for druggists, etc.
Besides these papers; there will be hui
morous talks, election of officers and
selection Of a location for next years
meeting. No candidate for the next
meeting has appeared, but as Waterloo
wanted it last year. it is expected again
to ask it.
The entertainment at Riverside will
include regular program each after
noon. There will be q contest in the
Identification of drugs, shooting
match and athletic events, comical and
serious. Those who do not care to at
tend this PROCLAIM will be given ample
facilities for enjoyment on the river.
The Fourth regiment band will play
on all three days: music will be Pro-
yided for every session. There vii! be
special events for each evening and on
the second evening grand ball.
The officers are e. V. fainter of Car
roll, president: Howard S. Baker of
Sioux City, Frank Shane of Stockport,
and E. M. Funk of Hampton, vice pres-
idents; J. B. Webb of Dewitt, trensur-
er; Fletcher Howard of Des Moines,
secretary, and B. ]. kloster of Sioux
City. local secretary.
An examination of druggists will be
held on the first day of the meeting,
when the state commission of phar-
macy will be in session for the exam
nation of certificates of registration.

BAD STORM IN NEW YORK.
Six Persons Drowned During a Seventy
Mile Gale.

Mile tale.
New York, June 9.--Five persons
were drowned as a result of the seven
ty-mile gale which swept over New
York and vicinity yesterday afternoon.
imperiling the lives of thousands of
passengers on summer excursion boats
in near-by waters, and doing some
damage in the city. Steamboats, run
ming to pleasure resorts were delayed.
Two schooners, anchored off Liberty
island, were blown toward the shore
until they reached q spot about fifteen
feet from the Battery pier. A tug went
to their assistance and held them until
extra anchors could be obtained.
The high wind had begun at 11:55 a.
m, at about forty miles an hour, from
which it had increased until at $3.50
o'clock a velocity of seventy miles had
been reached. At 6 o'clock the gale had
decreased to sixty miles an hour and
was steadily falling.
A rowboat in which four men We're
seated capszed in the Sound, about a
mile off Hunts Point, and three were
drowned. The fourth was rescued by
the crew of a sand scow. William Hell
ferich, 10 years old, of 627 East One
Hundred and Fifty-frs street; Alex
ander Winslow, 81 years DID, of S25
East One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
street, and Maurice Silver, % years old,
of 20 One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
street, were drowned. John Helferich,
brother of one Of the drowed youths,
was rescued.

Kerr and Hugh Mexican of Mount yer-
non. who were fishing in Long Island
Sound off New Rochelle. capsized, and
Ernest Letter and the two Mount YER
no men were drowned before help could
reach them. Harry Letter, who was the
only one in the party who could swim,
held to the upturned boat and strug-
gled bravely to save his companions.
Two fishermen finally got a rowboat
under way, but when they arrived three
of the men had gone down. Letter was
so exhausted that when they pulled
him aboard he was unconscious.
The Coney Island boats dispensed
with their schedule and We're running
hours behind time. Nevertheless it was
estimated there were nearly 100000
persons who visited the resorts. and the
day. tho not an ideal one for pleasure
seekers, was apparently prosperous
one for the merchants and amusement
people. There was little bathing; as the
wind, cold and chilly, sent ashore high
roaring rollers of surf, and, tho the
beach was thronged with visitors, they
seemed contented to watch the agitated
waters, which as far the as eye could
reach were dotted with whitecaps.
Everett P. Jones, a printer, received
a severe scalp wound from sheet of
iron which fell from the
roof of the pier shed at West Thirtieth
street. A pile of lumber in Jersey City
blew over and temporarily buried a
number of boys who were playing
around 1t. One of them, Frank Smith,
received a cut in the head, and was ia
ken to the city hospital.
Hundreds of newly Matched robins
