Position of Wood and Its Durability.

VI W. ana
The problem has troubled many why
two pieces OF wood sawed from the
same section OF tree should possess
very varied characteristics when used
IN different positions. For example, IA
gate post will be found TO decay much
faster If the butt end of the tree Is
uppermost than would be the case II
the top were placed IN Tins position.
The reason is that the moisture of the
atmosphere will permeate the pores u
the wood much more rapidly the way
the tree grew than II would If In the
opposite direction.
Microscopical examination proves that
the pores invite the ascent OF moisture.
while they repel its descent Take the

ly remembered by Mr.. Bowman. The
elder Bowman was killed by the Ia
dams during a trip to his old home in
Kentucky in the early eos. General
Brown, then in command Of the fort,
gave Mrs. Bowman a tract Of land
near by and the soldiers assisted in
earring for the family. This tract is
now the site of the main portion Of the
city of FIT Madison. The family NOV.
ed to Merrimac Mills on the Skunk
river in 1888, and there Elihu was ap'
prenticed to a millwright. Buffalo
and elk were plentiful on the Iowa
prairies and the boy captured a pair
of young elk which he trained to
drive. They were later purchased by
Governor Grimes and were familiar
sight at Mt. Pleasant for many day
During the Blackhawk war, Elihu
entered the service and participated
in battle with the Indians near the
present site of Davenport. During
the civil war, he was a member of the
Fourth Iowa cavalry. He married
Cynthia Jane Meeker, Of Jefferson
county, in 1845, and eight children
were born to them. He moved tc
Mills county in 1888, but came to Glen
wood about two years ago. Despite
his advanced age, he is enjoying goot
health.

NO CLUE FOUND.
Identity of the Parents of the Infant
Corpse Remains Mystery.

The police department Of the city
and County Coroner Chas. FoehlingeT
conducted careful investigation
Tuesday afternoon in the case Of the
dead infant found buried in a cigar
box in the woods northeast of the city
Monday evening.
The services, Of the county physi-
clan, Dr. w. s. Windle, were secured.
and after careful examination he pro
noupced the find fpetus of between
seven and eight months development
It was still born and there were no
marks anywhere on the dead body to
indicate that violence had been done.
The police had been working upon
a number OF clues as to the guilty par
ties, but on account Of the nature Of
the finding Of the investigators It was
thought best to discontinue the search
for further evidence, and It Is not
probable that anything will come of
the case. It seems that the oHiy per
son concerned in the affair who could
be prosecuted under the statutes Of
the state is the person who disposed
Of the body.

TAX FAILS TO CARRY
Pella Refuses Aid to the Iowa
Central Railway Company.

Pella, July S.-The proposition to
levy three per cent tax for the con-
struction of railroad from this city
to Howell, to connect with the Wa
bash at that point was defeated yes
terdas at a special city election.
About $50 votes were poIled Of which
$50 were cast against the proposition,
and 800 in favor of it. The company
asking the franchise was the Iowa
Railroad company in which Liston Nc
Millen and T. ]. Price, of Oskaloosa,
are interested. At a former city cleo
ton a tax was voted almost unani-
mously in favor of similar PROPOSE
ton, but the road was not buAt. Since
that time the Rock Island has added
new train between Oskaloosa and
Des Moines, making three trains each
way daily, and has improved its SER
vice in other ways which has in a
great measure ameliorated the oppo-
sition to it that once existed.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY
Green's Delivery Horse INDUCES in
a Novelty Race.

Rather an exciting runaway happen
ed near the Rock Island depot Tues
day evening about six o'clock. The
horse hitched to Green's delivery wag-
on became frightened in some way
near the freight depot, where he had
been left by Harry Byers, who had
gone into the depot to deliver some
goods. The horse ran west on Sew
enth avenue for block where he ran
into buggy in front of the Metropol-
itan saloon, breaking a few spokes
from one Of the wheels. Byers man
aged to get him away from the buggy
but the horse was excited and plunged
toward the railway tracks. He step
ped on Harry's foot, bruisipg it some
and caused him to release his hold on
the lines. When the horse reached
the tracks it turned west again and
ran into the yard of the passenger de-
pot and without a stop broke out part
of the fence and jumping down the
four-foot embankment went rushing
around the corner of First street,
Strangely enough the wagon was not
overturned during the wild race, but
it was considerably damaged and the
harness badly broken by the time the
horse was stopped on South d street.
He ran through several yards ON his
way to D street and mounted the ter
race at the James Mccullough corner,
north Of the Second ward school, with
but little difficulty. He did not tarry
long enough to be caught at this place
however, and continued his mad ca
reer until he turned into d street,
practically exhausted.

A SURE GENIUS.
Fred AIdridge Manufactures Automo
bile That VIII Run.

Fremont Gazette: About IS years
ago a baby was born in the ]. 8. Aid
ridge home over on Cedar Creek and
the parents christened him Frederick
There was nothing particularly strik.
ing about the child that would lead
the parents to believe that when he
grew to manhood he would be genius
enough to build an automobile with
out ever having seen one Of the ma
chimes. True when he was a. strip of
lad he would rather get a hammer
and drive nails than hoe In the garden
but most boys would rather do that,
too. When he got to be IL or IA years
old he rugged up work shop in an old
granary and made miniature wind
mills hay rakes, mowers, pumps, ETC.,
and gladly welcomed the day when it
rained so hard that working in the
fields was an impossibility and he
could spend day in his den. At is
he conceived the idea of starting a
blacksmith shop on the farm and
made the anvil, bellows and every tool
that was used in the shop, and spent
many day in this old place with his
tools, models and shop playthings as
his only companions. He stayed on
the farm until he was 20. doing as

little as he could in the fields and
spending all his spare time in his shop
then married and moved to Fremont
and accepted position as timer and
machinist with Aldridge & Reeves.
About two years ago he manufactured
his first steam engine, but since then
has made five, ranging in size from "
horse power to the S-horse-power one
on his automobile. About year ago
he conceived the idea Of building an
automobile and during last summer
was gathering together old pieces Of
mowers, sewing machines, etc., with
which to construct it. Never having
seen machine his only working mod
ell was picture of one showing the,
different parts. From this he con-
structed his machine, having made
every part Of it except the boiler,
which he bought, but put the flues in
the same. 1t took 400 feet Of Shelby
bicycle tubing for the boiler and it
can stand a pressure of 500 pounds.
The lubricator is of his own design
and works better than the ordinary
ones. His auto has attained speed
of 20 miles an hour, but he expects to
put in larger engine later on.
When completed the machine will
have seats for four people and will be
equipped with rubber tired wheels.
When one considers that he has done
all this work at odd times a person is
constrained to believe that besides be-
ing genius Of the first water he is
also swift workman,
