TRIES TO KILL HIS
ASH. ataG TWO STEPS0NS

Charlton, Sept. 1.-The Rev. Mr..
Bradley, colored, attempted to kill
two of his stepsons, George and AL
bert Thompson, aged respectively 20
and II, yesterday evening. The old
man seemed to be in pretty bad
mood, for he had been amusing him.
self by breaking up the furniture and
his wife's dishes, and tried to drive
the boys away from home. This did
not seem to satisfy his anger. so he
drew a large pocket knife and assault
ted the two boys, with the result that
Albert received several wounds about
his shoulder. George received a sew
ere cash in the left side and big
hole was cut out of the flesh over
his hesrt and would have caused in
slant death, but fortunately the knife
struck a rib and glanced. Bradley
was tried before justice Of the peace
this morning and bound over to the
grand jury upon the charge of as
sault with intent to commit murder
and placed in Jail. Bradley is the
man who has gained world wide no
toriety last winter by starting the
story that he was the father of seven
pairs of twins, the latest pair having
arrived last winter, after he had
reached the advanced age of Is years,
but when a reporter called to see
the colored pair" he was unable to
produce them, and the whole story
proved to be hoax. He claims to be
a minister and often gathers crowd
about him and breaches to them.

WILL FIGHT The Isl.
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL


Cedar Rapids, Sept. 1.-THE repre-
sentatives of 149 rural telephone
companies in this county, averaging
ten phones apiece, met in the court
house in Marion yesterday and de-
termined to fight the executive coun-
Gil of Iowa to finish through the
courts. For the past three years the
state executive council has been as
sessing the rural telephone lines, to-
gether with the toll lines and tele-
graph lines. The board of supervis-
ors has been canceling these assess
ments, holding that the lines are as
much a part of the realty as house,
or barn; that their value is return
ed by the county assessor, and that
the assessment by the state execu-
tive council is therefore a double as
sessment.
The executive council has common
ced suit in the district court to COM
pei the taxation of the rural lines &C
cording to it's assessment, including
the taxes for the last three years.
The action of the telephone man yes
terday is backed up by the board OF
supervisors. The best legal talent
will be hired to assist the county at
torneys and an assessment will be
made to pay the bills.
Jones and Cedar counties sent
word they wanted to be in the fight
and that they will pay their share OF
the expenses. ~ H.

BABY'S COUGH SAVES
LIVES OF Three

Grinnell, Aug. 31.-A baby's cough
saved the lives Of DR.. T. E. Somers,
his wife and child early this morning
when the Somer's hospital was prac-
tically destroyed by fire.
DR.. Somers and his wife were
sleeping soundly at $3.50 o'clock when
the baby's cough awakened them, and
investigating, they found the entire
top of the hospital afire. The family
managed to escape before the burn
ing roof fell upon them, but they were
almost asphyxiated by the dense
smoke before reaching the ground.
The building is almost total loss.
Fortunately there were no patients in
the hospital at the time. The loss
will be $4,000. The roof is believed
to have been ignited by an electric
wire.

A small pair of pincers were found

BATTLE FLAGS IN
LAST RESTING PLACE

Des Moines, Aug. 31.--In his brief
address at the capitol rotunda yester-
day morning Governor Albert Cum
Minis promised protection and care to
the old battle flags of Iowa so long
as the government seat shall endure.
No more imposing and impressive
spectacle can be witnessed during
fair week than that which took place
under the gilded dome.
Old color-bearers, with hating
steps were there. Reverently they
lifted the faded bunting flags in their
arms. The blush Of bride mantled
their faces as the dusty folds car
essed their rugged brows.
Stretching out from the rotunda. all
through the corridors Of the state
house the floors were thronged with
men and women from all over the
state.
Breathless they watched every de-
tail of the ceremony fraught with a
pathos not all could understand.
One hundred and thirty-eight of the
old battle flags We're moved from tenn.
porary cases in which they have been
kept for decade to hermeterically
sealed cabinets in new inches of the
rotunda.
Military men of prominence, state
officials from every department, gath
cred closely around the platform on
which stood Rev. u. A. Potter, Gov
ernor Cummins, Mrs. Jesse Cheek,
General James B. Weaver and others.

THE WORLDS NEWSPAPERS.

THE WORLDS NEWSPAPERS.
A French review has been assuming
to give statistics of the newspapers
published in the various countries of
the world, which would be interesting
if doubt was not cast upon the whole
report by the knowledge that its fig
ures as to this country are grievously
wrong.
AS the French paper is quoted by
Consul General Guenther of Frankfort,
Germany, the United States is con-
coded 1880 newspapers, of which
1000 are dailies. The Daily Trade Re-
port of the department of commerce
and labor gives the following figures,
compiled from reliable newspaper
directory, for 1908, as the true ones:
Weeklies, 14,455; semi-weeklies, 499;
tri-weeklies, "a; dailies, 2,215; total
1928. In addition, there were pub
lished in 1908 the following periodi-
Gals: Monthlies, 2,710: all others,
522; total, 3,262; total newspapers and
periodicals, 20,4S5.
Possibly, since the sources of in
formation were nearer at hand for the
French review, the figures as to the
rest of the world are more accurate.
If this is the case, the number of
dailies and weeklies in the United
States is nearly equal to the total
number of dailies and weeklies pub
lished in all Europe.
According to the French figures, the
total number of newspapers published
in Europe is about 10000. Germany
leads with $500, of which 800 are
dailies. England occupies second
place with 5000, of which 800 are
dailies. France has 2,s19, of which on
ly one-quarter appear daily or two or
three times a week. Italy publishes
1,40O papers, followed in their order
by Austro-Hungary, Spain, Russia,
Greece and Switzerland. In Asia there
are 5000 newspapers, most of them in
Japan and the British Indies. Africa
has the smallest number of news
papers, only 200 dailies being published
in the whole continent, of which thirty
appear in Egypt and the remainder in
European colonies. Australia has but
few newspapers. T..
