FINE SPELLING RECORD.

Clarence Nicholson, Aged II, Formerly
Of Iowa Falls, Has 1t.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Feb. 19.-Clarence Mich
olson, a son of G. A. Nicholson, for
merly of this city, has established a
record for spelling that is probably
eaualed by few lads of his age in the
state. He is but II years old, yet car
ried off the honors in the spelling con-
rest that embraced all the schools OF
.Franklin county. Out of five hundred
words he misspelled none, and proved
a strong contestant in the other con-
tests for best honors in the county.

VERDICT OF SUICIDE.
Ed Mars, Prominent Farmer, Died by
His Own Hand.

Special to Times-Repub]ican.
Oskaloosa, Feb. 19.-The verdict of
the coroner's jury in the case Of the
prominent farmer found dead in his
barn near Fremont is that Ed Mar
came to his death by his own hand. An
empty bottle of strychnine was found
near the dead body, and the signature
on a note to his wife was identified
by his banker. A part of the stomach
however, was brought to this city
and another examination will be made
by order of the county attorney and
cornoner.
A deed to land worth 100000 was in
question, and may have led to suicide.
There are many queer circumstances
in the case.

Death of Charles Todd.
pecial to Times Republican

Special to Times Republican
She'll Rock, Feb. 19.--'rhis commune
ty was shocked to hear of two suicides
Sunday. One was Mrs. Methfessel,
near here, and the other Charles Todd
a farmer.
The aged wife of Rev. Methfessel
drowned herself in the water tank at
the home of her son, who resides near
Coster. Rev. Methfessel, who is a SUI
peranuated minister of the German
Evangelical church, was pastor of the
church for some time at Coster. On
retiring from the active duties as a
minister, he purchased a home in this
city and has resided here for six years.
Some weeks ago the mind of Rev.
Methfessel became somewhat unbal
anced and it was thought best that he
and his wife should go to the home of
their son to spend some time, in hopes
that rest and quiet might restore the
fathers mind. So far as was then
known, Mrs. Methfessel had never
SllOMll dlly SlSuS vi UelIES Ol ullSOuIllt
mind. After the family had had sup
per, Mrs. Methfessel said she did not
feel we'll and would go to her room
and lie down. Shortly after this, her
daughter-in-law went to see If she
could be Of any service to her and was
surprised to hnd her mother-i
not there. Search was at once made of
the house and outbuildings. Not find
ing her, the neighbors were telephoned
to assist in the search. The son on
passing the water tank observed some
thing on the tank, and going closer
found it was his mothers dress float
ing on the water Of the tank. This
comes as a great blow to the family
who are among the most respected
people of the community. Beside the
husband and son here, there is an
other son, Rev. Newton Methfessel, of
Ontario, Canada, and daughter, Mrs.
A. ]. Wiener, of Hazel, S. d.
Suicide Of Charles Todd.
Charles Todd living five miles south
of this city, committed suicide yester-
day morning about IL o'clock, by shoot
ing himself thru the head with shot
gun. Mr.. Todd had for some time been
SIlSd6C0 Ill IAlC oA Us OooAi1SSo VASAA AAAS
brother in Waterloo, but on account Of
i'll health disposed of his business and
had returned to the farm where part
Of the family resided. The family had
made preparations to come to town
and were ready to start when Charlie
made some excuse to return to the
house, and while they were waiting
for him they heard an explosion and
on returning to the house they found
him dead. The Todd family are
among the most highly respected peo-
pie of this community and the SYM
pathy of our people goes out to them
in this sad affair. 1t would seem as
though the family have had more than
their share of misfortune, as less than
two years ago the father George NJ.
Todd, was found murdered on his
claim at Miller S. D. The remaining
family consists of the mother, three
brothers and three sisters.

was splendid. The conditions under
which the match was shot were nearly

time. At the thousand-yard range the
wind was OF the variety that is known
