TWO FUNERALS AT GILMAN.
One Death Caused by Scarlet Fever
Think Disease Under Control.

Syecial to Times Republican.
| Gilman, Dec. 1S.-Two funerals al
ore and the same time is an unusual
occurrence in our beautiful little Gem
etery, but that is what happened last
Friday afternoon when Clarence, the
infant son of c. l.. Lewis and wife, and
Jennie, the S-year-old daughter OF
Guy GARNER and wife, We're laid to
rest, the funeral professions arriving
within few minutes OF each other.
Clarence was a bright boy, the only
child of his parents, 8 months old, and
died after short illness at Grinnell
| OF cerebro spinal meningitis.
Jennie was attending school here
from the country and was exposed to
scarlet fever about two weeks ago.
The disease assumed malignant type
from the start and death resulted
Thursday night.
An especially sad feature of the case
is that the mother has contracted blood
poisoning in some way while caring for
her sick child. The disease developed
in her hand. which is swollen and in
famed and it is feared her condition
is serious.
The preparations for Christmas trees
and exercises are discontinued on ac-
count of scarlet fever and the pres
ellts intended for the children will be
distributed at their homes. The cases
are OF a very mild character at present
and in fact some have been known to
hive had it who were not sick at all.
The physician of the board of health
and the board are using all possible
means to prevent the spread of the
disease, and there have been no new
cases for several days. 1t is hoped
that the disease is under control and
will not become epidemic
Ralph Wood, whose father, w. F.
Wood and family, moved to Oklahoma
two years ago, is back on a visit, and
starts for home today He reports
the condition there rather discourag-
ing as wheat, which is their princi-
pal crop, was failure both years, tho
they raised some corn and alfalfa.

New York. Dec. 1s.---An appeal tq
policy holders In all the states of the
union to lend thor assistance In pre-
venting adverse Legislation Is made by
President Paul Morton Of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society In circular
letter which 10 being sent to the policy
the insurance business is certain to be
the subject Of great consideration by
legislatures soon to convene, as re-
suit of what has been printed and said
about Insurance during the last six
months.
But you cannot give men character
nor make them honest by preamble.
resolution or enactment" says the let
ter. What the life Insurance business
needs above everything else is charac-
ter, honesty, and good business ad-
ministration. There can be no objection
to proper legislation safeguarding the
business. but 1t should be sound and
sane. The society depends upon It's
policy holders to see that there is no
unreasonable Legislation enacted. /.

ton to measures circulated to do them
harm, but under no circumstances will
1t be party to any corrupt methods
in preventing strike legislation. We
aim to meet the just requirements. Of
every state and government and we
rely on our policy holders to see that
no injustice is done them.
ANY unfair insurance tax measure
enacted by your state legislature in
jures you and reduces the dividend
earnings Of your policy Your divi-
dends would be nearly 10 per cent lar
ger If 1t were not for the state taxes
and license fees that the society is
obliged to pay" /
No More Campaign Contributions.
Mr.. Morton expresses the opinion
that the Equitable has no right to cons
tribute to political campaign funds
and informs the policy holders that no
such contributions will be made by the
society in the future. He also says that
In the future the society's reserve will
be invested in real estate mortgages or
the securities Of other we'll established
corporations which produce premiums.
He assures the policy holders that the
financial condition Of the society as
disclosed. by a most careful examina-
ton by competent and disinterested ac-
countants, is excellent, and that many
economies already In practice and 9TH
ers yet to be made surely will enhance
its condition. He urges all policy hold
ers to continue the payment of their
premiums, and says the investigation
Of the society has convinced him that
there is no cheaper way than this for
them to have sound life insurance. II

CASE TAKEN FROM JURY.
Motion Of Defense Sustained in Dam
age Suit Against Great Western.

age Suit Against Great Western.
Special to Republican.
Dubuque, Dec. 18.-The $4,000 dam
age suit Of A. ]. Bethel VS.. the Great
Western, which has been on trial in the
United States court for several days
came to an abrupt end Saturday wher
Judge Reed sustained motion of the
defense to take the case from the jury
Evidence in the case was finished al
the morning session, whereupon j. L
Erdall, of st. Paul, one of the attorneys
for the defense, moved that the case
be taken from the jury. He set ur
the contention that the plaintiff was
guilty of contributory negligence as
he knew he was working around &
dangerous machine. At the conclu-
sion of the arguments Judge ReeG
sustained the motion of the defense
and the Jury was dismissed.
Bethel, the plaintiff, was caught in
some cog wheels in the Oelwein shops
in 1908, and permanently injured, His
injuries were largely the same as those
sustained by Conductor Prowse, who
secured a, verdict of $4,000 against the
Great Western some years ago.

There Was Only a Fair Demand,
and the Prices Were Barely
Steady

There Was Good Supply Today, and

Sheep Receipts Were Liberal, But
Live Mutton Trade Lacked Energy
Sheep and Lambs Lowen

Chicago, Dec. 1S-Cattle-There
were more than enough here today to
meet the requirements of trade, and
buyers were slow in bidding. After
business was we'll started, there was
a fair demand, and prices were barely
steady. Exporters We're good buyes
The stocker and feeder trade was
slow.
Traders this morning professed to
see fair prospects for prices to hold well
the coming week, provided the market
ing is kept within moderate volume.
The clost last week showed largely 10
OILS cents advance, as compared with
last sales of the previous week, tbs.
bulk of this gain having been noted on
the classes which We're most plentiful
in the supply, the medium to pretty
good grades.
Low-priced short-fed steers also
gained materially, while the big heavy
steers were shown least appreciation
by slaughterers.
Receipts OF $4,000 last week, COM
pared with the excessive supply of o.
654 the week before, while standing
3,400 larger than arrivals year ago.
Conditions governing the opening
trade of the week were of the most un-
favorable nature, receipts last Monday
totaling the largest in nearly two
years, but sane marketing in later
days, together with liberal outlet
through all channels. has brought
about a recovery of the decline forced
on the opening day, while boosting
values to fair advance over the range
of the week before.
Local slaughterers were best sup
porters of the market throughout the
week, purchases by the eastern ship
pers falling a few thousand under last
week, although exporters were liberal
buyers, taking upward Of 1000, the
largest number of the season. Buyers
have now finished their purchases for
the Christmas trade. This was one rea-
son for the falling off in eastern de-
nand.
The big local houses took all medi-
UNI and low priced cattle freely most
days of last week, and owners of such
found relatively better outlet for them
than the choice, big weight kinds, the
ending of Christmas demands cutting
off active inquiry for heavy weights.
even prime quality. Packers took
choice yearlings readily and most lots
showed Is cent gain over the low point
at the close the week before, although
plain and medium yearlings made lit
tie change.
Hogs.
There was a good supply and buy
ers We're in the market early, paying
an average advance of 8 cents. Hogs
sold at 4.7O@5.O7H. with sales largely
at 4.S5@5.00.
Sheep.
Live mutton trade lacked energy.
Receipts We're liberal, but did not ar
rive on time to make them available
for the early market and buyers there
fore We're delayed in filling orders
From early indications it appeared
that the market would be 10@15 lower
for both sheep and lambs.

BEARDsHEAR TITLE REJECTED.

Ames College Trustees Name New

Ames, Dec. 1s.-At a meeting of
trustees of the state college at Ames
the members refused to honor the late
President Beardshear by giving his
name to the magnificent new central
building that is to be dedicated soon.
The alumni here made an appeal for
this recognition of BeardsheaT and the
alumni organ, a monthly newspaper
devoted to the interests of former stu
dents. had advocated such recognition.
The trustees without giving any reas-
ons voted not to do this and gave the
building the name of Central Hall"

BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. It
is a term that aptly describes
the character and action Of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples Of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles of inn
perfect growth and delicate
health in children. The action
Of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.
