BIRTH OF AN HEIR TO ITALYS
KING BRINGS OYTOPRISONERS

She came down from the mountains
with all her native freshness clinging
to her. striking figure, six feet tall,
with dark hair and eyes, and ruddy
complexion
Victor Emmanuel was two years
wooing her, and their marriage was
celebrated in the spring of 1897. Upon
the birth of their first child the queen
gave cradle and $40 to every baby
born that day in Rome and Naples
Four hundred families claimed the
gift, but no questions were asked about
this extraordinary increase in the
birth rate, and the present was be-
slowed in every case.
Popular With Subjects.
Essentially a womanly woman, the
queen is perhaps the most attractive
royal parsonage of the day, and Ger
tainly she is the most beloved and ad
mired woman in the kingdom of Italy
The king is devoted to her, and as {
rule they dine alone by choice ant
their merry laughter may be heart
by those in the next room.
The queens love of children is 6
popular tradition in Italy. The mum
ber Of fat little "bambinos" who have
felt the caress of her royal lins is be
yond computation, and at the charit,
bazaars which she visits, it is alway,
the baby-clothes booth that secures hel
earliest attention and patronage.

Blakesburg, Sept. 16-(Special.)-
The eight months old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Sander Pierson was IA
tally injured and its mother sustained
broken arm in runaway accident
at o'clock last evening. The little
child lived two hours after receiving
the injuries but died at o'clock.
Mrs. Pierson, with her babe in her
arms, was driving home from a visit
to a neighboring farm last evening
when her horse suddenly became un-
manageable and began kicking. Mrs.
Pierson bravely tried to subdue the
animal but was handicapped by the
child in her arms. The horse kicked
completely over the dashboard of the
vehicle and one of its hoofs crushed
the little child's skull, knocking her
from her mothers arms. Mrs. Pierson
finally gained control of the beast but
not until her arm had been broken
Forgetting her own pain, however, she
ran to where her babe had fallen but
was Mortified to find the little body
frightfully mangled and life almost ex
tinct
Friends cared for Mrs. Pierson and
carried the little child to the family
home. Physicians were hastily sum
moned but their fight was hopeless
one and two hours after the accident
death relieved the little sufferer.
Mr. and Mrs. Pierson are wei
known and highly respected people
living four miles north of Blakesburg
Their many friends sympathize deepl!
with them in their aff1iction.

INNOCENT
MAN KILLED
JOHN NELSON OF AVERY SHOT
TO DEATH BY oSkALooSA
BOY.

Oskaloosa, Sept. 16.-John Nelson,
of Avery, music teacher, was shot
and killed at 6 o'clock last evening,
two and half miles northeast of this
city by 17-year-old lad named Jimmie
Siebert. Nelson was hit in the lungs
and lived but a short time. Young
Siebert is under arrest.
The lad pursued Nelson under the
impression that he was a scoundrel
who came to his home to abduct his
sister. The tragedy is the outcome
of the Chas. Carpenter rape case now
before the supreme court Nelson ap.
preached the Siebert home in buggy
with Carpenter in the afternoon. Joe
Siebert seeing Carpenter, ran for a
gun and opened fire on Carpenter
Nelson jumped from the rig and ran
into the brush. The boy followed
with another gun and fired the con.
tents at the victim with fatal result
Nelson was an innocent party and
knew nothing of the trouble betsjen
Carpenter and Siebert. The boy SUP
posed himself justified in thus defend
ing his sister against the conspirators
Nelson was 20 years old and formerly
lived at Eddyville.

birth of his heir the king has granted

prisonment for certain crimes.
Son Born Last Night.
Raccoonigi, Italy, Sept 16.-Queen
Helena gave birth to son at II
o'clock last night at the royal palace
here. Both mother and child are doing
well. The infant has received the
name of Humbert and the title of
Prince of Piedmont.
There is Joy in the royal household
as well as throughout Italy, over the
birth of an heir to the throne, for it
always has been the dearest wish of
the young king and queen Apart from
the official glamor that surrounds
them, however, they always have been
more of "a happy young couple" than
most sovereigns, simple in their home
life and as transformations as the rigors
of court etiquette will permit.

Trust Funds Disappear.

suggested few salient features, which
are epitomized as follows:
81. No bank of any knid should be
allowed to open without ample paid-in
capital as a guarantee fund before the
innocent depositors entrust their funds
with it.
"2. A limitation on loans to GER
tain percentage of capital, to which 1
will add. surplus--which is not includ-
ed in the national currency act-to
any one individual, firm or corpora
ton.
"3. Requirements of reserves
against demand liabilities. The cash
reserves can consistently be lowest
with the savings banks and trust COM
largely subject to time notice before
payment The time limit In times of
trouble should be rigldly enforced, as
1t was lately In st. Louis where fool
ish panic was undoubtedly prevented
by prompt action in this respect.
"a. The rate of interest paid to de-
positors must be left to the individual
bank and cannot be regulated by law
ut is just cause of some. concerns
now that fierce competition In several
quarters in this respect is likely to
produce unpleasant results. Thrice
within my forty-two years of banking
experience, banks in certain city
mailed broadcast offers to pay interest
on account in excess of the current
legitimate rate paid by other banks
Depsitors that took the bait within a
year thereafter got bitten by failure
of every one of those three banks
"5. The question of value of super
vision of banks is simply beyond con-
troversy as to beneficial results, and
will therefore pass 1t"
Mr.. Frame said this last question
was debated In San Francisco last
year and that he stood for it, except
| ing as to details, and he asked why
such great state banks as the Illinois
Trust and Savings Of Chicago, Banl
Of America, New York, Of Wells
Fargo & Co., San Francisco, should
not be entitled to the same privilege.
