A pretty row has been kicked
up by the lack of tact shown by
the administration in permitting
Father Thomas Sherman, son of
the famous Civil War General, to
have an escort, of Federal Cavalry
in the trip he is making through
the South to collect data on his
fathers famous march to the sea.
Perhaps there is no more cordial
ly hated Union General. than
Sherman, because of the ruin
that marked the trail of his
army. Such hatred is natural,
although General Sherman acted
only as the rules of war compel
led and none at heart more heart
lily hated warfare than he. But
for the United States Govern
nent to give Federal escort to
the son of General Sherman was
something the South could not
understand and there arouse a
spontaneous and concerted storm
of protest. General Duvall,
commanding the Department of
| the Gulf, has been preremptorily
ordered 10 halt the escort and let
Father Sherman proceed alone to
Atlanta.

Osceola. Sept. 1O.-Clark Williams, a
young farmer living eight miles north
west OF this place. met with a very
serious accident while passing on
horseback over a high bridge near his
home. His horse put foot thru a
hole in the bridge, causing him to
stumble heavily and throwing Will
liams violently against the railing,
which, being somewhat rotten, gave
way, precipitating him some twenty
ouch. Williams sustained disloca-
ton of one hip, fracture Of two ribs,
and some severe Commissions about the
back and was generally severely
bruised and shaken up. Mr.. Williams
has been very unfortunate lately. Early
last winter he lost hts baln by fire, to-
gether with all his harness, large
amount of hay and grain, and several
head of horses and cattle Then later
he underwent an operation for appen-
dicitis. and came very near losing his
life Worse than all. last spring he
was tried for his life on the charge of

to be sure, at a disastrous expense to
himself Mr.. Williams has plenty of
friends in this community, who will
hope for his speedy recovery from this
injury, and also that his fortunes will
take a more favorable turn.

Boone Police Trying to Locate Man
X last Seen With Him.

Boone, Sept. 10.-Great excitement
was occasioned here Saturday by the
finding Of the body of Henry Morris
miner OF Incline, in the Des Moines
river. Morris lived at the bottom of q
long incline formerly used to hoist
coal. The old railroad bridge at the
bottom of the incline is still there and
Morris went to the bridge late Thurs
day afternoon with a Frazer miner
whose name Is not known, to show him
how to get across This was the last
time he was seen alive.
+ A party of twenty-five hunted all
day for him, but the body was found
three miles below late in the after
aeon by Eli Jay, a fisherman, who was
strolling near the Rose Ferry bridge.
The drowning may have been the
result of foul play, but the fact that
Morris coat, hat and pocketbook were
found by the family in a chair on their
return home seems to prove that rob-
berry was not the motive
It is thought possibly that Morris
showed his visitor across the bridge,
and IN returning, stopped to lean over
the small railing, which broke and pre-
cipitated him into the water. The rail-
ing was found broken.
Coroner Walker and Sheriff Foster
went to where the body was found ard
are trying to fathom the mystery. Ev-
cry effort is being made to locate the
man who was last seen with Morris.

Academy last week. The sisters ar
rived Wednesday of last week and
are busily preparing for the opening
pthis week. The enrolment will begin
today, altho there may be a short
delay in perfecting plans, organizing
classes and getting down to the regu-
lar work. Formal dedication of the
magnificent building is deferred until
later date, perhaps some time in
October or November. The building is
one of the finest most modern and best
equipped of any building in this part
of the state. The teaching staff, we
understand, has been selected with
great care and with an eye to securing
talent that will add fame to the school
and to Elma as an educational center.
Already strangers from a distance have
enrolled here and as the work pro-
crosses and the public generally be-
comes familiar with it there can be no
doubt but that this will be the means
of holding many families here and
drawing many others who may be con-
sidered outside of the local field.

CORN CRIB SUICIDE

Life in Rather Peculiar Manner,
Choking Self by kneelins-No
Known Cause for the Act-Runaway
Accident,
Special to Times-Repubfican.

| Special to Times-Repubfican
| Algona. Sept l0.-Herman Ditmer,
who lives in this city, committed sui
eide in peculiar way. He went out
| to a corn crib, and when his wife was
| about ready to retire for the night, she
went out to the barn to look for him.
She found him in the crib, and asked
him to come to the house. To this he
| replied that it was cool out there, and
he would stay, so his wife went to the
house and retired for the night. On
waking in the morning and not finding
her husband in his room. she went to
the corn crib, where to her horror, she
found that he had taken his life dur
ing the night. He had gotten some
binding Irvine, twisted it together and
tied It around his neck and to a raft
err, and then knelt down, and ended his
life in this way. He was a man about
so years old, and had always been a
hard worker. He had been on farm
most Of his life, until he came to this
city. The deceased leaves wife, and
six children. There seems no cause
for the suicide, as he and his family
have always lived happily together.
The funeral services were held today.
What might have proved to be a bad
accident, happened at the creamery
Saturday morning, to Mrs. Austin Wit
ham, who was at the creamery with
,,,;l1> opd who has heen there almost
every day this summer. Her morse be-
came frightened, made a sharp turn
and threw her out of the buggy, on her
head, which rendered her senseless,
and she did not recover for several
hours. In this same buggy was
Mrs. Pettibone, who was also shaken
up. but she received only slight
bruises.

have been brought to town the past

fine specimens from the county poor
farm as did Joe Wiley from the G. A,
Yarnes farm in Spirit Lake township
Joe selected his samples from a field
which has been cultivated for forty
years without fertilizing. All the ex-
hibits indicate that the corn is making
good growth, but the bulk of the
crop in this section will require fair
weather all thru September to grade
well.
