LADIES KNOWN HERE.
Elevator Accident Victims Relatives
of Mrs. Dunsmore.

Mrs. w. D. Dunsmore, of North
Market street, wife of Supt.. Duns-
more, of 3he Home Telephone COM
4 company, was more than shocked
last evening upon reading in the
Evening Herald the special from
lDes Moines' giving the news of the
death of Mrs. a. Hoch and Mrs. Or.
Fountain in an elevator accident at
thB state capitol. The victims were
ar aunt and cousin of Mrs. DmsmOTe.
The newspaper account was the first
that the lady Rad heard Of the acct
dent, and the news coming in the
way It did was particularly startling.
The deceased ladies' were both res
ident5 Of Valley Junction, where they
wer prominent and we'll known. Mrs.
Hocfi, was a promineRt Eastern Star
worker, being worthy matron OF her
home Chapter and She was also a
leader in the P. e. o. Society OF the
place. The ladies' are both known in
this city, having been guests here
during the Eastern Star convention
two years ago; and having visited
heree at other times: Mrs. Fountain
is double cousin of Mrs. Dunsmore,
being related from both sides of the
family
The victims Of the accident had

Senator Funk but a moment before.
They were members OF party con-
sisting" of Senator Funk, Of Spirit
Lake, Mr. and Mrs: A. M. Johnson,
fellow townspeopfe; and several 9TH
ers. Senator Funk led the way into
the car and wasS followed rT Mr.. ana
Mrs. Johnson. Mrs. Fountain STEP
ped in and Mrs. Hoch was about to
follow when she hesitated because or
the fact that the floor" Of the car was
foot or so below the marin floor on
which she Was standing. The con-
duGtor of the car, John Merrill, an
OLD man, 60 years of age, volunteered
to- raise the car. He failed TO stop
it at the level of the floor and Mrs
Hoch attempted to spring into it,
Merrill is then said to have lost his
head and the car continued to shoot
upward, catching the aged lady be-
tween the heavy wooden frame or
the transGm ana the floor of the car.
She was dragged through between
Ethe elevator cage and the transom.
Merrill reversed and started the car
several times in tn hope of extricat-
ing the woman. Meantime her
daughter had reached forward to res
cue her and as She did so the car,
with downward jerk, caught her
head between the transom and the
roof of the car, crushing her head
and shoulders to pulp. The car
then jumped upward and downward,
pounding the body of Mrs Hoch for
some seconds, at last being stopped
Il after her feet had been forced
through the glass transom above the
wooden frame which had crushed her

LOVES THE DESERT

Mrs Mary Hunter Austin, author OF
"The Land of Little RAIN" was born in
Carlinville, Ill.,, descended on her mothers
side from the family Of the celebrated
French chemist, Daguerre. Being born
fortunately as she says, before the flood
of so-called children's books, she began to
be. familiar with the English classics as
soon as she could read, and the study of
these and an intimate acquaintance with
nature occupied most Of the years until
the end Of her university work. At that
time very serious i'll health drove her to
California, and a friendly destiny provided
that she should settle in the new and I'M
tanned lands about the Sierra Nevadas.
All Of her writing, like her life, deals
with out-of-door things-nights under the
pines, long days watchings by water holes
Ito see the wild things drink breaking
trail up new. slopes heat, cloud-bursts,
snow, wild beast and mountain bloom, all
equally delightful because understood. She
says she was only two months in writing
"The Land of Little RAIN" but adds that
she had spent twelve years peeking and
prying before she began the book.
Her home is at Independence, where her
husband is a government land agent. She
has a house by the rill Of Pine creek look
ing toward Kersarge, and the sage brush
grows up to her very door. She is fairly
on the edge Of Death valley, and her COM
panions are principally Piute Indians. She
is a sort of friendly goddess of the hearth
to these Indian women, encouraging them
In the making Of their beautiful baskets,
and urging them to keep the old patterns,
the old dyes and the careful Workmanship.
Years ago she was q good shot, but as she
grew more acquainted with the ways of
the wild folk'' the thought of shooting
them went against her conscience, and
now she rarely uses gun. She has been
writing only four or five years.

OBJECT OF FASTING
To Absolutely Clear the System of All
Clogging Matter Left from Inn
Good housekeeping.

proper Diet.
Good Housekeeping.
The object of the fast is absolutely
to clear the system of all undesirable
and clogging matter left from i'm
proper diet, and to give the inner
man, in vulgar English, a washing out,
a cleansing. During this period, say
the experts, one should drink copi-
ously of water; preferably hot, be-
cause of it's purifying properties. The
only other thing taken into the stom-
ach might be a little fruit juice now
and then, grape or lemon, possibly
orange. The pores Of the skin should
be kept open by Turkish or vapor
baths, and the system made to throw
off all poisonous matter, by exercise,
deep breathing of the fresh air, and
the use Of water in every possible way.
No drugs, however, should be used.
It is said by authorities that the worse
one feels during this process of fast
ing, the greater has been the need for
such drastic measures; the system be-
| ing, or having been, thoroly in a bad
way from too much food and drink,
and improper food and drink at best.
We are told to use our own judg-
| ment as to the duration OF this fast.
A week, at least, is urged by the adj
vocates Of the plan. 1t is affirmed
that fasting in this manner cannot
possibly be injurious unless under
certain conditions. Caution is ad-
vised to the individual trying first
| experiment. He Is told to consider
his temperament, vitality and genera
symptoms Of health. Caution is en-.
phasized in persons Of an anemit
tendency. But granting such caution
is observed, the doctors say, well anc

THE AMERICAN WIFE
Her Attitude Is Tolerant, She Appre
ciates Her Husbands Usefulness.

dcT ACtlCuOo Is Tolerant, Sne Apprc-;
ciates Her Husbands Usefulness.
Henry James has summed up the
American wife in just. one sentence.
He says: 1.-THE American wife knows
nothing of her husbands affairs-ex-
cept that they are of not the slight
est consequence
This Is both epigrammatic and ex-
actly true, says a writer in Ainslee's.
The American wife has quite a gen
uine affection for her husband. Even
after years of marriage have gone by,
she thinks of him with unaffected
friendliness. He is so useful. She
credits him with almost all the virtues;
except perhaps the virtue of being in
teresting and she Overlooks that one
defect of his with charitable liberation.
She vaguely knows what his profess
sion or vocation is. She thinks better
of him If it Is a profession or vocation
| that is generally regarded as quite
| creditable; but this is practically all,
| she knows or cares about it. She sees
him rising early and hurrying to his
| office. She hears him sitting late into
! the night in the room overhead, and
| she is probably aware that he is i'm
mersed in a great sea of papers and
/ documents of some kind or other
tiresome and studip things that he will
persist in bringing home and fussing
| over.
She finds that he must sometimes
stay in town all thru the summer when
| the thermometer is in the nineties
and when the sickly heat sweats on
the very walls or sizzles on the pave
ments. She would really rather have
him go with her to the cool, wide
swept nook that she selects for her
own summers outing. Just why he
does not go, she cannot possibly i'm
agine.
It is one Of the curious, irrational
traits which he possesses and which
prevents her from taking him quite
seriously. Perhaps he will run up
there for a day or two, and when he
does come she is very nice to him
apart from scolding him a little for
getting SO hideously thin and sallow.,
She does the things she likes to do
and sometimes dimly recognizes the
fact that it is pleasant to have some
body to see hiatt her various projects
and arrangements all come out sc
nicely Her husband is really quite
what a husband ought to be: He does
+ his duty perfectly, and she has a very
. accurate notion of what that duty is
To provide whatever she requires, t.
fetch and carry out her bidding, te
leave her absolutely free from care
e responsibility or ,worry-such is the
+ whole duty of the American husband
And then, she is so very sure of Him
It never enters her head that he has
! anything to wish for, that he can pos.
5 sibly be conscious of a void somewhere
, in life, on experience even the faintes
stirring Of dissatisfaction; that -he
