ANDALUSIA WANTS
HARBOR IMPROVED
Village Promises Soon to be Left Out
Of Reach of Steamboats, When
Water is Low.

The village of Andalusia promises
to be left out of reach of steamboats,
one of these days by the shifting of the
channel of the Mississippi. In fact,
it is doubtful if the levee could be
reached now. should the water fall
two or three feet lower Efforts of
the government engineers to give the
place a good water approach and at
the same time deepen the channel on
the Iowa side. below, have not met
with entire success. As is generally
known. some 30 years ago a dam was
built across from the head of the is
land opposite the lower end of the
village to the Illinois shore. the OBJ
ject being to deepen the chute be
tween Andalusia and Buffalo and to
throw more water into the channel
which is on the Iowa side The dam
gradually wore down. and more and
more water passed over it. but at the
same time a bar formed near the is
land. To remedy matters. if possible.
a section of the dam on the Andalusia
side was taken out couple of years

of the bar only the location was chang
ed more to the middle of the river.
Now it is the belief of Andalusians
that the only relief will be to remove
the dam entirely, so as TO give the
water free sweep all the way across
are being made to sub
nit petition TO the war department
TO have this done 4 request will al
so be made for the repairing of the
dixie, which was put in several years
ago and is now almost submerged
even at the present stage of water. 1t
IS estimated that it will require s10,-

TRAGEDY IN HENRY
Or. w. D. Powell. Veterinary
Surgeon, A :tempts Muir
der and Suicides.
TAKES PLACE AT CAMBRIDGE
6rooding Over Trouble, He Makes An
Unsuccessful Attack on His
Divorced Wife.

DIR. w. ID. Powell, a leading veter-
mary surgeon of Henry county, half
craZed with brooding over his trou-
bles and the fact that he and his wife
We're separated. attempted to murder
her on Saturday evening and then
killed himself.
Saturday evening he went to the
home of Martin w. c. Petersen in
Cambridge. where his wife was visit
ing. He tried 10 open the screen door,
but il was fastened on the inside
In each hand he held a large revolver
Unable to get in. he pointed both wea-
pOns at his wife, who was sit
ting in the room, and fired One
of the bullets went through her little
finger and in very close proximity to
her head. She ran into bed room.
Mrs. Petersen came into the ROOM
and he shot again, but it is not known
at which of the women he fired.
Killed Himself.
Foiled in his attempt to kill his
wife, he, still standing on the back
of the porch, put the gun TO his tenn
pie and fired. The women heard him
fall to the porch floor and notified the
sheriff of Kewanee. The doctor was
about thirty-five years of age. After
mis- wife and he were divorced, he
was much exercised over the posting
of a notice in Cambridge warning him
to leave. BrOoding over this and his
domestic troubles affected his mind
From several remarks that had been
dropped by Powell, it was at once be
lieved by residents of Cambridge that
he had contemplated some such an
end He had told one of the physi-
clans of the town a few days ago that
if anything should happen 10 him soon,
to notify his brother at Sandwich, III.
He paid all his bills Saturday and put
all his affairs in good shape
Powell was not addicted TO the use
of intoxicating liquors and it is certain
that drinking did not lead him TO the
tragic acts of Saturday night. While
he was not a total abstainer, he was
very temperate. and few had seen him
touch liquor during his several years
residence in Cambridge.

The International Harvester com

contracts with its agents for the 1906
trade. the clause TO which chief OBJ

This was calculated 10 prevent the

Among the other clauses omitted is
that requiring the agent to handle no
other repairs than those manufactur-
