cHAUFFEUR's NEW DISEASE
Motorpathea cerebralis" the Latest
4 Atlment to Which Auto Driv-
Y ers Are Subject.

4 "Motorpathea cerebralis," the new
disease to which chauffeurs are subject.
ls diagnosed by the London doctor who
has discovered 1t as producing "tem-
porary Reorganization of the mental
functions" and arrangement of the
equilibrium Of the nervous system"
The disease will explain many things
about chauffeurs hitherto not quite I'M
derstood. AS, for example, how the 60
Mile-an-hour gait of the clubhouse story
falls to 10 when sworn to In court. The
arrangement Of equilibrium" has of
course, disturbed the narrator's sense
o. time. Similarly, in putting the blame
on the other fellow after an accident, in
direct contradiction of the policeman's
testimony, the chauffeur is not necessa-
Tiiy untruthful, but merely suffering
from temporary arrangement of his
veracity. Speed madness" may be
traced to a like disturbance Of eouilib-
rum. Automobiles are reported as
amused at the Doctors discovery. When
penalties are made harsher they may
have occasion to feel grateful for the
means provided for An acQuittal.

CROP PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Record-Breaking Corn Production
Seems Assured-oats Pro-
crossing Rapidly.

Never in the history of the state have
the prospects been brighter for rec
ord-breaking crop than at the present
time. Farmers near Fort Dodge have
been over the fields of corn twice,
which means that the weeds have re-
ceived their just deserts and there is
clear sailing for Iowa's great staple.
Warm days and nights have sent the
stalks skyward at rapid rate. The oats
are also making rapid progress and will
begin to head out in another week. The
hay crop promises to come under the
wire in a close race for new record and
other small grain is not far behind. The
heavy rains have left but a few traces Of
damage to the growing crops. While
that time threatened to be great
there are few wet pieces of land that will
not mature the crop planted, there are
other pieces which are improving every
day and have taken on a much better
color and are giving evidences of a better
crop during the season,

CITY COUNCILS HAVE POWER.
Supreme Court Renders Decision with
Regard to Building Of Area
ways and Stairs.
Especial correspondence.1

lopecla1 Correspondence
The supreme court has held that city
councils have the power to permit prop
erty owners to build areaways and stair
ways next TO their buildings in the
street, landing on the sidewalks: but
cannot do SO at the expense or damage
OF any other property owner. This is q
broader Interpretation than has been
held heretofore of the power of the coun-
ellis OF cities to permit distractions to
travel In the highways. The court was
unanimous in Its opinion. The theory
heretofore has been that If property
owner needed or wanteda stairway into
tne basement OF second story Of his
building, he should build 1t on his own
lot, and not obstruct the highway with
1t. 1t has been the custom, however. to
encroach on the rights Of the public.
The supreme court sustains this now
as being perfectly legal.

Not Correctly Reported.

The following special was
clipped from the Nashville Ban
ner under date of Sept. %:
"The annual shoot of the Spar
ia Gun Club was held here yes
terday, Nashville, Tracy City and
Algood teams participating. A
number of valuable prizes were
offered and the shooting was
spirited.
First high gun record was made
by A. Meadows, 107 out of 125,
and entitled him to a suit of
clothes. In the team shoot the
Nashville team won the loving
cup.
Sparta and Tracy City tied,
444 out of 625, for the punch
bowl and cups.
To decide it each club was
given fifty shots, the scores, two
men whose integrity cannot be
questioned, giving it to Sparta
by two. This gave third to Tracy
City, Algood securing the fourth.
The attendance was good and
great interest was manifested
throughout the day, the shoot
lasting from 8 o'clock until dark
without break. Eachelub par
ticipating received a prize"
We regret the fact that we are
called upon to express our views
in regard to this contest. But it
seems that the Spartians are la
boring under the sting of humili-
alton brought on perhaps by want
of proper order around the callers
and scorers, and that they cannot
let the unpleasant past be forgot
ten. The B Team of the Tracy
City Gun Club again affirm to
their previous statement, that
they won 2nd high gun in the
team contest at this shoot. We
wish again to say that we count
ed Is targets fall unbroken that
were fired at by the Sparta team
in the deciding contest of the
fifty targets while the official
score shows that they lost but
twelve while Tracy City lost
fourteen. We know and feel as.
sured of the fact, that many OF
the Sparta team that contested
had nothing to do with the mis-.
take. "Mistake if you please, >
we wish so to express it, for we
could readily see with the amount
of confusion around the the caller
and scorers that they could easily
be mistaken in the call, lost, dead
d etc.
We should dislike exceedingly
to believe that anyone that was
in any way connected with the
contest would be guilty of any
action that would in any way de
prive us of our just rights.
Our statement is authentic
and shall remain so for what We
see with our own eyes we know
are facts.
The Spartians shall be request
ed to contest on neutral grounds
by the local club.
