SAMUEL L. DANA IS DYING.
Says He Would Clear Up Mystery II
He Got Well.


Samuel L. Dana Of Fairfield, Ia.
the young man who was mysteriously
shot in Central park, New York city,
and who, it was subsequently discov.
cred had secretly married Mrs. Bea-
trice w. Dignon of Seattle, is dying
at the Presbyterian hospital. In addi-
ton to the bullet wound it was learned
that he had contracted pneumonia.
Both lungs are affected and the ply
sicians hold out very little hope Of his
recovery. The coroner tried to get
the young man to clear up the mystery
surrounding his shooting. All he
would say was: II did the shooting
myself. II get well, when arraigned
IN court, will clear up all the mystery
IN the case" Dana has made several
conflicting statements and the police
are in quandry. Their theory is that
he shot himself upon discovering that
his wife is also the wife of another.
Eli Smith Of Fairfield. cousin of
Dana's, complicated matters still more
by stating that Dana had told no one
that some one else had shot him. It
was Mr. Smith who furnished $500
bail to enable Dana to be removed
from the prison ward at Bellevue hos.
pital to private institution.

Bold Robbery.

The most daring robbery that ever
occurred in Webster City happened
Friday night at the Illinois Central
depot. The fact that less than 800
was secured does not detract from the
daring and holiness of 1t. While the
midnight passenger train was at the
station, and while the agent had
stepped out to aid the baggageman to
load his heavy shipment, robbers en-
tered the trainmen's window at the
office and with the depot full of peo-
pie, took all the money in the drawer
and made good their escape. No at
tempt was made to touch the safe.

Senator Lodoe and Reciprocity.

Senator Lodge and Reciprocity.
Sensitive and aesthetic persons will
be greatly grieved to know that Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu-
sets is in hot water and is making the
fight Of his life to be reelected to what
some individuals denominate 1.-THE most
august legislative body on EARTH" The
senator is great scholar, a prolific
author and, according to his auto
biography, was graduated from Har-
YARD" He is the great apostle of
purity and sweetness in politics theo-
retically and the Republican boss of
Massachusetts in practice It may
cause the soulful transcendentalists
agony Of spirit to call him a boss, but
he is as much one as Mr.. Murphy of
Tammany or as was the late Senator
Matthew Stanley Quay Of Pennsyl-
vania.
What's in a name7 That which we call a
rose
BY any other name would smell as sweet.
Senator Lodge Is the bosom crony
Of President Roosevelt, and wicked
newspaper men about Washington
have gone SO far as to declare that at
great trouble and wear and tear Of
both body and spirit he, at an ad-
yanced age, learned to ride horseback in
order to accompany Colonel Roosevelt
In bis equestrian trips, which may or
may not be an invention Of the enemy.
However that may be, the senator is
learning to his sorrow that it is most
difficult and perilous feat to undertake
to ride at the same time two political
horses going in opposite directions. So
there is an open revolt against this
Bay State boss which he is endeayor-
Ing with might and main to quell, but
which appears to be gathering momen-
tum every moment. Massachusetts,
Republicans are growing weary Of his
domination and are kicking most
vigorously. They are circulating petit
lions in favor Of Canadian reciprocity
Very much depends in this world on
whose OK is gored.
The excessive rates of the Dingley bill
are beginning to yex the souls Of Mas
sachusetts Republicans This move
ment for reciprocity is headed by Hon.
Eugene Foss. a Republican, who de-
nounces Senator Lodge most bitterly
and yehemently MS one who is doing
vast injury to the country. Only think
OF that! What temerity this man Foss
must havel What an iconoclast he Is!
But he Is getting signers to his petit
tion by the thousand. He openly pro-
claims that the best thing for Massa-
chusetts and the country is to "roll'

A Town Where Taxes are Paid.

During the last week in July, 1908,
the Job department of the Democrat re-
ceived an order from Thomas 5. Bridg-
ham, Esq, collector of taxes for the
town of Buckfield, to print some notices
TO delinquents on overdue taxes of
1905" Now it was still midsummer,
only a few weeks at most after the date
of commitment of the 1908 taxes, and
the Democrat, being somewhat familiar
with the ordinary zeal and rapidity with
which American citizens pay their taxes,
looked upon the date as probable error,
and suppoSing that it was the tax of
1902 which the collector was endeavor-
ing to clean up, was uncertain whether
or not TO change the figures. Fortunate
ly, before the printing was done, Mr..
BRIGHAM himself came into the office,
and the question was put to him wheth
er he did not mean taxes of 1902.
"No," said he, Il mean just what l
wrote"
"Taxes of this year overdue nOw?"
Certainly. The taxes of 1908 are
overdue now. When | collect taxes l
propose to collect them"
It would seem that Mr.. BRIGHAM has
lived up to his determination pretty well,
as the Buckfield town report shows that
of the total commitment of SS,696.20
for 1908 there is unpaid-or was on the
18th of February-only s459.l6.
Is there another town in the county
which had 94s per cent of its 1908 tax
collected on the 18th of February?

Royal Mansfield, for eighteen or TWEEN
ty years resident of East Shirley, died
at his home Friday, Jan. 20. He had
long been sufferer from Brights dis
ease, and, not being constitutiOnally
very strong, the disease entered the
blood and poisoned the system. He was
obliged to take his bed about the mid
die of the month, and seemed to feel
that it was his last sickness. Mr.. Mel
lish cared for him faithfully to the end.
He was sixty-nine years of age, and
leaves, besides a widow, one son I'M
married, resident of Chicago, three
daughters, all married and living, one
in Milford, N. H., one in New Dorches,
ter, Mass, and one in Woburn, Mass.
Mr.. Mansfield was a member of the Con.
gregational church in West Groton, a
free mason and odd fellow of lodges in
Milford, n. Fl. Interment was at the
latter place and under the rites of the
masonic order. Rev. A. S. Hudson
otficiated at the funeral services at his
late residence. Mr.. Mansfield was a mar
of the strictest integrity, unobtrusivt
and reticent in manner and liked by every
one he came in contact with. He was {
deep thinker along many lines ant
strictly conscientious in all his bushes:
dealings and of a mechanical and invent
i've turn of mind. He had surrounded
himself with many conveniences in thu
conduct of his business. The loss t.
the community will be deeply felt, ant
the most heartfelt sympathy goes out tt
his sorrowing family.-The Shirley
