The grave of Mrs. Jeremiah For
sythe, who died about week ago,
and whose body was inferred in Hick-
bry Grove cemetery near Keokuk has
been robbed by ghouls. They dragged
the body a distance of 200 feet from
the grave to the roadside, as was
shown by the trail left on the wet
| grass. Nothing on which to base a
clue which might lead to their appre-

She was discovered before she had
succeeded and has been sent to the

HJdrophobia is prevalent among the
cattle, horses and dogs of Johnson
county, according to DR.. Henry AL
pert, Iowa state bacteriOligist, who
has completed a series of investiga-
lions in the Iowa state laboratory.
He found positive proof that at least
SIX COWS on the Kostelecky farm near
Iowa City had had rabies when killed.
Many other animals, he declared, had
been bitten, and are now mad through
out the county. He urged the mayor
and city council to issue an order as
to dogs, and asked for a 'muzzle-or-
KILL attachment thereto. This, he
believes, may avert the death OF many
more animals, and, perhaps human
beings.
Within few days our public schools
will open, as will also q large num-
Der of other schools of all classes,
therefore, we take this opportunity
to suggest to those of our readers
who may have sons and daughters to
educate, that no kind of special edu-
cation has greater value than thor
ough business training. 1t is quite
certain that the best known CONNER
cial school in the entire West is the
Capital City Commercial College OF
Des Moines, Iowa. This college has
sent many thousand successful young
men and young women into the busi-
ness world and constantly has more
calls for its graduates than 1t can
supply. 1t will pay any person who
may be at all interested in this line
of work to write to Mr.. c. d. Nc
GregOr, Registrar, Des Moines, Iowa.,
for a free catalogue, which gives full
information regarding the school.
Boyd Deickman, a young man liv-
ing near Titonka, was shot and SER
iously injured by Mrs. Lizzie Wolfe.
Deickman came to the aid of his
father, who was engaged in an alter
cation with Mrs. Wolfe's husband,
and when the woman saw that young
Deickman was too much for her has
band, she pulled 44-caliber. revolv-
er and shot him. She was arrested
on the charge of assault with intent
to commit great bodily injury, and,
waving the preliminary hearing, was
bound over to the grand jury under
$1,000 bonds. There has been bad
feeling between different members of
the family for long time, which cul-
minated by Lizzie Wolfe and Ollie
Wolfe, her husband, driving to the
Deickman farm. Soon after arriving
at the farm they became engaged in
a quarrel with the old gentlemen
Deickman and the boy. The boy
ordered Mr.. and Mrs. Wolfe off the
farm and they refused to go, and then
Mr.. Wolfe and young Deickman be-
came engaged in quarrel, Mr.. Wolre
being knocked down two or three
times. Mrs. Wolfe then told young
Deickman that if he did not leave
her husband alone she would shoot
him, and young Deickman, paying no
attention to the threat, struck Mr..
Wolfe the third time and Mrs. Wolfe
drew a 44-caliber revolver from con-
cealment in her clothes and fired one
shot, which struck young Deickman
in the face, grazing his jaw bone and
|. passing through his ear, infiicting a
skin wound. Mr.. and Mrs. Wolfe
then got into their buggy and drove
to town and young Deickman was put
in the care of a physician. Mr.. Wolfe
is laboring man in Titonka, having
heretofore been working upon the
section, and Deickman and his father
manage their farm near Titonka.
The Farmers Cooperative cream
cry at ST. Ansgar was destroyed by
fire few nights ago. The fire COM
pany was unable 10 extinguish it..
! The building was an old one, and I'M
doubtedly a much better and larger
one will be built in it's place. Con-
siderable butter was in the creamery
but most of this was gotten out with
out much damage. AS to how the fire
started is yet to be solved. A number
of creameries have been destroyed by
