Robert Armstrong, private secretary

That time of the year has arrived

Cleaned from one of these almanacs

two of the moon. There will be an
annular eclipse of the sun March 2S
and 30, invisible here, but visible in
Alaska and the greater part of Asia.
the second eclipse of the sun will be
total and will be September 81. 1t

Was Sent UP For Killing
Man.
HIS LIFE SENTENCE is At An END
William DIIey Spends Half His Life
for An Awful Crime Looking
Through the Rars-Is Paroled by
Hand of Death.

William Dilley, Iowa's oldest con-
Wet in point of time served, is dead at
the Anamosa penitentiary. The ma
chinery of the old frame simply re-
fused to longer carry the load of afflic-
ton.
Dilley looked much older than he
really was. He was gray and stopped
like an octogenarian. In reality he
has spent just half of his life behind
prison bars.
Dilley was serving time for the kill
ing OF Thomas Swift, section fore
man on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
& Northern. Dilley was working I'M
der Swift and difference arose over
time check, amounting to about seven
ty-five cents. A sharp quarrel arose,
and Dilley went TO Iowa City and pur-
chased revolver. He returned to
Morse where both men lived and meet
ing Swift in front of the latter's home
renewed the quarrel and ended by
shooting Swift. The latter died the
next day. Diliey was defended in
Iscourt by Geosge- W. Rnal and S. s..
Ranck. but he Vas convicted OF murder
in the first degree.
| Dilley had been an expert artisan
and was employed on much Of the fin
est work at the new penitentiary. He
| was also good at making trinkets
which he sold.
The sensational story published in
an evening paper to- the effect that
| Oily had killed his wife in
a fit of jealous frenzy, brutally mis-
treating her body, was a pure fabrica-
ton.
Dilley's number was 239. The high
est register number today is 4,967. and
thus he has witnessed the admission
and departure by death, parole and
completed sentence of 1000 men, Dill
ley has assisted in the construction of
nearly every building that has been
erected in the penitentiary in the last
quarter of century and this means
that he has had hand in practically
every piece Of architecture that now
adorns the state rA9perty, for the walls
and all the handsome buildings that
now grace the property have supplant-
ed the former wooden stockade and
the temporary structures in use at the
time of his incarceration.
quire what would have amounted to a
fortune in the manufacture at odd
times of shell trinkets. This money,
however, is not now to his credit. AS
matter of fact. as it was acquired
he turned it over to various parties OF
real or imaginary influence on the out
side, who were expected to use it in
presenting the case of the life man
to the biennial sessions of the legisla-
ture with ,ne hope of pardon. The
only result these efforts had was to de
plete Dilley's stock of currency and
today there is practically nothing to
his credit in the shape of finance.
Dilley has three brothers living, al
of them well-to-do, though it appears
they have had little sympathy witt
the prisoner, and have evinced no de
sire to see him regain his liberty. HI,
has no children. Under these circum
stances it is not probable there will b'
any demand made by relatives o.
friends for the remains of the prisone
and as provided by law in such case
the body will undoubtedly be turned
over to the medical school at. thu
State university at Iowa City.

Courier in 1862 Tells of Country's
Achievments Then.
CENCUS SHOWS SURPRISING GAINS
Comparisons of Conditions Existing
Then, and Previously Given in the
Paper Fifty Years Ago Population
Ten Times Greater.

There were but $4,000 miles of rail-
roads in America and England fifty
years ago, while now there are over
1S4,603 in the United States alone. In
the Courier issued January 6, 1852 a
comparison of conditions at the time
with those existing fifty years pre-
viously was given. 1t is seen by a
glance at the figures that the achieve
ments which were thought so great
then We're as nothing compared to
those of the present day. Fifty years
ago the Courier told as follows of the
countrys progress:
"Fruits of Half a Century,
Fifty years ago steamboats, were I'M
known. Now there are 5000 afloat in
the American waters alone. In 1900
there was not single railroad in the
world; now there are 5000 miles in
the United States and about 25, 900 in
America and England. Half a century
ago 1T took some weeks to convey
news from Washington to New Or
leans; now not as many seconds as it
did then weeks. Fifty years ago the
most rapid printing press was worked
by hand power; now steam prints 20,
600 an hour on single press. Now
is a great fellow but We will be much
greater half century hence"

The comparison with the population
of the last census with that of 1850
which gave Iowa 192,204 souls, is even
more striking, as last year the popu

times greater. The article is as fol
