Lincolns wonderful gift OF expression-that
gift which makes certain speeches OF the rail-

prophets. But he had all OF Ldncons souud

the nohlest objects and ike Lincoln he sought
after them by thoroughly practical methods
These two greatest Americans can fairly
be called The best among the great men OF

JOHN c. DE MAR IS ELECTED
REPRESENTATIVE FROM
DAVIS COUNTY rs

Bloomfield, Oct. 1s.-(special. y
John @. De Mar, democratic candidate
for member Of the legislature from
Davis county was elected yesterday
by majority Of 45O over his republi.
can opponent, John H. Curl. The spe.
cial election was held to fill the va
cancy made by the death of T.. j.
Prevo, formerly representative from
Davis county. Mr.. De Mar received
1924 votes and Mr.. Curl 7S4.
Voting Was Light.
Though considerable interest had
tsen taken in this election through.
out the state, the vote was light, only
about half the strength of the county
being cast. The republicans practic
ally conceded Mr.. De Mars election
before the election, though they sup
ported their candidate well. Mr.. De
Mar is popular young man, well
known throughout the county, and he
made consistent canvass that
brought results. The new represent
ative from Davis county is a resident
of Salt Creek township, schoo
teacher and a graduate of both the
Southern Iowa Normal institute and
Drake University.

Cured at five o'clock last evening and
was the result Of the mans craze for
drink. McLarson had been intoxicat-
ed for several days and last evening
he rushed into his home where his
wife sat with her little baby on her
lap. Pulling revolver. quickly from
his pocket the man fired bullet that
pierced the body of the child and
lodged IN the woman's abdomen. Mrs.
McLarson, wounded though she was,
attempted to escape from the house,
but was felled by ANOTHER bullet,
which ended her life. Immediately the
crazed murderer placed the muzzle Of
his weapon at his head and sent bull
let crashing through his brain. Neigh
bors, startled by the noise of the shots,
rushed into the house and were hor-
rified to see the odies Of the father,
mother and child, close together on
the floor and all three beyond
human aid.

It was learned too late that Mrs Nc
Larson was in hourly fear when her
husband was Intoxicated for he had

take her life. Yesterday she sent a
message to Buxton asking for con-

but by mistake the message read

was consequently OF no avail.

BATTLE

Judge Martin ]. Wade, former demo
cratic congressman from the second
Iowa district. has defeated Milton
Remley, former attorney general of
Iowa, in one of the nest bitterly
fought and long drawn contests ever
known in the court history of John

the contestants who sought to break
the will of Col. John R. Heath, who
during his life, was ore of Iowa City's
richest men. Judge Wade sought to
have the will upheld. The taking of
testimony occupied mere than two
weeks and scores of witnesses were
examined. Throughout the trial of
the case the rival attorneys kept up
an active fight and when late last
night the jury returned verdict sus-
tanning the will Judge Wade was kept
awake to receive the congratulations
of his friends upon his marked vic

DIES. FOR
LOST LOVE
G. E. CLARK, OF CHICAGO
COMMITS SUICIDE AT
CHARLTON

Charlton, Oct 1S.-(SpeciaD. .-Wor-
ry over an old love affair caused the
suicide of G. e. Clark of Chicago, a
former resident Of Fairfield, who shot
himself and died instantly in the home
OF his former sweetheart, Mrs. Bessie
Mllligan, il Charlton. Mrs. Milligan
is silent regarding the affair, but peo-
pie who knew both her and Clark think
that her refusal to wed him caused
him to resort to self destruction.
Clark has been in Charlton for about
ten days and it was understood here
that he intended going into business.
he formerly lived in Fairfield, where
Mrs. Milligan, who is widow, knew
him. It is said that they were at one
time sweethearts, but that some dis
agreement prevented their marriage.
Clark called upon Mrs. Milligan several
times during his ten days residence
here and last evening he was guest
at her home.
Woman Escapes Death.
Mrs. Milligan says that apparently
without reason Clark, who was in con-
yersation with her about 10:30 o'clock,
suddenly pulled a revolver from his
pocket and said: we will end 1t all
right now." Mrs. Milligan, though
frightened, soothed the man and soon
escaped from the man on the plea
that she was going for drink Of wa
ter. She ran to a neighbours house and
summoned Night Marshal Beck On
the officers arrival he went to the rear
door of the house and called to Clark,
who was still inside, demanding that
he come outside. clark refused but said
he would meet the marshal at the
front door. To this the officer agreed,
but while he was going around the
building to the front shot rang out
inside the house and when he entered
he found Clark, dying from the effects
of a bullet wound, self-inflicted, in his
right temple. l. his pockets we're
found five extra cartridges in addition
to those in the revolver, indicating that
he had anticipated the crime and pos
sibly the murder of Mrs. Milligan.
The body was removed to the local
undertaking rooms, where an inquest
is being held this afternoon. Clark was
unmarried. His remains will probably
be sent to Fairfield for burial.

able to Secretary Shaw for president if
he is candidate, was telegraphed here
this morning from Des Moines and has
attracted much attention. Iowans here
do not regard Allison's statement as
a launching of Shaw's boom, nor do
they think that it is a "feeler," but a
