When Joseph Conrad the author of
Youth writes story he writes from

a personal experience. The three stories IN
Youth: Youth Heart of Darkness

were, bits cut from his own hfe-alnost
autobiographical. When a young boy, just
after he had taken up the life of a sailor
he shipped on a rattle-trap Of a boat, run

Out of the incidents of that voyage and
glamour of romance which his youthful
hunger for experience threw over all the
dirty work and peril and hardship, grew
the story of youth. -. In the eastern seas

and steam vessels, and it was during that

HAS A NEW RELIGION
DEWITT c. CLARK OF osKALoosA
WILL ORGANIZE PEACE
MAKERS MISSION.
Will Preach Upon the Streets Tonight
Carries White Banner and
Wears a White Sash - Symbols,
Righteousness, Peace and Purity.

A new religion, the product Of oskaloosa,
is to be introduced upon the streets Of
Ottumwa this evening by Dewitt G.. Clark.
Mr.. Clark, who has been until recently
the proprietor of the Lady BARRIERS" es-
Establishment in Oskaloosa, will appear
wearing a white sash and carrying long
white rod surmounted by a small white
cross and bearing large white ban
ner.
Mr.. Clark will represent the Peace
makers mission, a new form of religion,
conceived and worked out by himself
The emblem of the religion is snow
white flag which represents peace and
righteousness and purity. His followers
are to wear a white sash during their
worship They work upon the streets in
much the same manner as the Salvation
Army and will have a meeting place for
services after the outdoor work is over.
The room occupied by the worshippers
in their services Is said to be something
unique and Mr.. Clark states that the ideas
embodied in the arrangements and details
of the room ''are n direct naturalization
of dictations of ministering spirits who
are constantly lowering about him.
The originator of this new form of re-
ligious worship is located at 30S East
Second street where he states he will be
pleased to meet all interested in good
works and explain to them fully where
his belief differs from others.

this adds greatly to the efficiency of
the track and it will be possible to
make much better time over many
miles Of the road than previously.
Where the new track has been laid the
entertainments and bridges have. all
been put in with the thought of a dou-
bic track eventually. Next year it is
rumored the Union Pacific will contin-
ue this work and bend the greater part
OF its efforts to the laying of a double
track and will probably lay in the
neighborhood of 200 miles. The inten-
ton of the Hartman interests, it is
understood is to have a complete dou-
bic track from Omaha to Cheyenne in
five years and one through Ogden in
seven years.

TO GET A PATENT
MUCH MUST BE DONE TO GUARD
AND PROTECT AN ORIG
ALIDEA.
Red Tape to be Pursued and Fees to
Be Paid to Prevent Practical Usur.
pation-Protection Given is Most
Secure.

Many Ottumwans think they have
ideas worth patenting, but few of them
know just how to get their respective
devices patented There is long line
of red tape to be unraveled first and
then much more after the device has
received protection against infringe
ment. With the protection given to an
idea patented, however, it is as secure
against anyone attempting to copy the
device or steal it as the laws of the
country can provide, and great caution
is exercised by the United States pat
emit Offices.
In England, it is said it is an easy
matter TO secure patent, but the laws
there are not nearly so well arranged
to protect the owner of the patent after
he has been successful. Infringements
are all too common, and many invent
ors have come to this country to live
in order to enjoy our more liberal pat
ent provisions. Germany, conscious of
the great influence our patent laws
have had in stimulating industrial in
ventions, has revised it's patent laws so
as to bestow more protection upon the
inventors, and goes further in encour-
aging their work.
May Secure Caveat.
One of the most beneficial features
of the patent Office laws is that by
which an applicant can practically pre-.
empt claim in advance. When an,
idea Of new invention occurs to one
it may not always be possible to COM
plete 1t Immediately, and work it out in
all it's minute details. Another may
have heard an account of the propos-
ed invention and attempt to steal the
idea. To prevent this. the inventor has
the right to secure a caveat or caution,
upon the payment OF $40, and a filing
of description of the proposed patent
This caveat is filed at the patent office,
and is kept confidentiaIly, SO that out
siders can not make use of it's informa.
ton. This claim is in force for a full
year, and during that time no one else
can secure patent for the proposed
invention. There is further protection
afforded the applicant in permitting
him to modify and alter his caveat il
he has claimed too much or made er-
rors in his first papers. Such errors
are naturally costly, and are justly
charged for by the patent office. A
corrected reissue of caveat costs $30
But even this expense in many cases
proves Of the utmost benefit to the
claimant.
Application For a Patent.
When the idea is perfected, the in
ventor sets forth his application for

HAS A LEG CUT OFF.
Conductor 7. E. Bosss Struck BY Train
in the Burlington Yards.

From Mondays Daily.
This morning about o'clock in the
c., B. & @. yards in this city, r. q.
Boggs, 1907 East Main street, a Burl-
ington freight conductor, had his left
leg mashed by train. Mr.. Boggs
was called for an extra westbound
freight this morning and while check
ing his train, which was on No. 6
track in the yards, a switch engine
backed train of cars up on No. Z
track and Mr.. Boggs' leg was caught
underneath car. The injured man
was taken to the hospital and Drs. ].
B.. Wilson, S. l.. Hauck and
A. o. Williams were called.
This morning it was found neces-
sary that the leg be amputated
and the operation was performed by
the attending physicians. Mr.. Boggs
was formerly yardmaster in the Bur-
lington yards here and was for term
of years alderman-at-large. Engineer
M. Halpin and Fireman M. l.. Palmer
were backing the scwitch engine up
the yards.
How the Accident Occurred.
Mr.. Boggs was standing on No. z
track in the yards and was checking
the cars on the extra that he was go
ing to take out. His train was on No.
6 track and the switch engine was
backing up on the next track. Mr..
Boggs could not hear the switch en-

mashed his left leg to pulp. He was

the left knee
Was Old EmpIoye Of the Burlington.
The injured man was formerly yard
master of the Burlington yards here
and was in this position for several
years. For the past year he has been
"a freight conductor. He always has
been very fortunate as regards ac-
cfdents, having worked on a railroad
for many years without receiving an
injury. Mr.. Boggs' many friends will
be grieved to hear of his recent in
Jury.
Smitchmen Not to Blame.
The switch engine was in charge of
Conductor G. H. Jandrew and the train
was backing up the yards when the
accident occurred. The car which
struck Mr.. Boggs was far in advance
of the engine and this is possibly the
cause Of Mr.. Boggs' failure to notice
the approach of the train.
