In the accompanying illustration, which
is taken from the Scientific American,
is the invention of Mr.. E. Max Got

it is an exceedingly simple yet ingen-
ious apparatus, capable Of being put to
various uses. The apparatus consists
of a mechanical arrangement for light
ing a match at any desired time, the
releasing of the match moving mechan-
ism being accomplished by an ordinary
alarm clock. For this purpose the
alarm winding thumb piece Is enlarg-
ed so as to form lever that will strike

leases a coiled spring that suddenly
pushes a match holder over piece Of
sandpaper, thus lighting the match.

Amendment in Franklin.

Hampton. Oct. 13.--Generally there
is no interest taken this year in the
campaign, but the biennial amendment
which is to be voted upon seems to
be creating some interest and en-
thusiasm. All of the county officers
who will be entitled to another years
service If the amendment should be-
come a law are working hard for votes
in Franklin county. Part of them are
spending their time in talking 1t UP to
their friends and explaining the good
qualities of the proposed amendment.
They say that wherever they find
man who understands what the pur-
pose of the amendment is and what 1t
will save the state each year, that they
can always elicit a promise of a vote
for it. Most Of the voters, they say,
have not thought much about it, and
in fact do not know that it is going
to come UP for settlement. The men
who are working for 1t claim that it
will carry in Franklin county by a big
majority as they are passing the word
along to all their friends to boost it
and that there is no one working
against it,

For cause Of action Mr.. Vilsmeier
alleges that he had worked and lived
upon the farm of the defendants and

The petition states that Villsmeier
fell in love with Miss Emma Sieben-

her but the defendant and two broth

the plaintiff with bodily injury II he
did not clear out. Attached to these

The petition recites that after this
the plaintiff was so harrassed that he
was compelled to give up his work In

The petition has caused considerable

attorney and he signed the petition in
stead Of the plaintiff as is usually the

son to the presidency of the Des
Moines college 1t is practically de-
termined that call will be extended
to him at the meeting Of the trustees
Of the college at the Baptist convention
at Marshalltown on october 20. The
board Of trustees is almost unanimous
in it's opinion concerning the extending
of a call to DR.. Stetson.
Whether DR.. Stetson will accept the
proposition is not known. but he is be-
lieved to look with favor on the propo-
sition, which will bring him back to
school where he spent so many years
OF hard labor. He is expected to be
at the Baptist state convention at
Marshalltown this month, and will
confer with the trustees there regard
ing the matter.
DR.. Stetson was president of Des

ooPT AUSTRALIAN BALLOT
Council Spends Many Hours in c
libcratins on important Changes
Its Constitution - Adjourns Vita
Fcstivities'-Iowa Order Very Strong
And Sets Precedent For Nationa
Body.

Des Moires, Oct. 13.-No more sa
loonkeepers or liquor statesmen will
be admitted to the Improved Order Of
Red Men. Such was the decision Of
the great council. After hours of de-
liberattng upon tho changes in their
constitutions and bylaws. the Red
Men in great council decided that the
election Of officers in the organiza-
ton hereafter would be by modified
Australian ballot system, and placed
the bars on their requirements Of
membership. SO that saloon men. bar
keeps and. statesmen of intoxicating
liquors shall not be admitted into the
local tribes.
The work Of the order was long
and tedious session. They took up the
provisions Of the constitution one by
one, passing each after Il long and an
mated discussion. The consensus Of
opinion is, however, that the session
was most profitable one and that the
order waD greatly benefited by the
changes agreed upon.
The state council ended last night in
q most fitting manner. The two days
Of arduous labor was climaxed by a
social session at the Leola Tribe hall,
West Seventh and Locust streets,
where the new great chiefs were in
stalled and u banquet served The
200 and more delegates were nearly ali
present, together with the fifty mem
bers of the Daughters of Pocahontas
The scene was a merry one. the MEM
bers fully entering into the spirit of the
occasion.
The changes in the laws of the or
der are OF much moment to the Great
Council of the United States. Iowas
council is one of the strongest In the
organization, and is a prime mover in
the charges In the laws of the order.
1t is expected that the provisions
made in the state council will be ex
tended to the national council. The
Australian ballot system Is some
thing new In lodge methods and is Il
practical Innovation In the histor yof all
Iowa lodges.
More than ordinary interest was CEN
tered in the saloon proposition, as u
few members of the order were includ-
ed in the membership of the lodge. The
new ruling does not affect them. How
ever, it's purpose is wide-reaching and

Iowa Falls, Oct. 13.-An expert book
keeper from Chicago was wired last
night to come here and assist in
Strengthening out the books Of the
Iowa-Lillooet Gold Mining company. 1t
is stated that this Will greatly facili-
tate matters and 1t is thought a state
ment can be made in about g. week.
Treasurer II. c. Miller has returned
from a visit to the company's claim
in British Columbia, and in an inter
view here stated that at the close OF
the Templar conclave In San Francis
co, he went to British Columbia and
spent ten days in investigating the
claims Of the Lllooet Gold Mining COM
ing on the Fraser river. When Mr.. Mil
Ter reached there the dredge had just
been moved down to the lower end OF
the claim, or Horse Beef Bar, where
1t can be operated more successfully
and high water.
Mr.. Miller declares the rumor, that
the bottom OF the Fraser is so filled
with large boulders that it can not be
dredged, is false. He says the water
at times is high and turbulent yet not
more than three or four boulders per
days are scooped up that would not
pass thru the revolving screen. and
these can readily be thrown overheard
by either the day or night shift.
Mr.. Miller has faith in the Fraser.
He thinks the Lillooet will be a paying
investment because gold is found
everywhere along their claim A care
full and successful operation of the
dredge will insure satisfactory results.
