Predicted the Earthquake.

Quite stir has been occasioned in

davits testifying that Professor Willis
Marshall, until recently instructor in
mathematics in the Sioux City high
school, and prior to that in Morning.
side college, and once president of
Buena Vista college, Storm Lake, Ia,
predicted the destruction of San Fran
cisco the day before the catastrophe.
Professor Marshall was reclining on a
lounge, atlantis say, with his right
hand resting upon his forehead. They
thought he was asleep. Suddenly he
sprang up and exclaimed: There is
going to an awful earthquake on the
American continent in which great
city will be destroyed and afterwards
wiped out by fire. Several smaller
cities near by will be partially de-
stroyed. 1t will be within twenty-four
hours" That this prediction was ac-
tually made by Professor Marshall is
sworn to by Mrs. Margaret Van Walk
enburg, a well known nurse, and S. 7.

Company Hires Doctor.

The battle for supremacy between
the doctors of Webster City and the
management Of the principal telephone
company took new turn last week,
when the telephone company imported
a doctor from Chicago. A month ago
e. H. Martin notified the medical men
that the company had decided to raise
their telephone rates from $1.50 a
month to $3.50. In his letter to the
doctors he stated that If the increased
rate was not paid he would promptly
remove their telephones. All of the
doctors in the city except two ordered
the instruments from their Offices and
residences. The telephone company
then advertised for doctors to come to
the city and work on salary, hoping
in this way to force the medical fra
ternity to come to its terms. It has
secured from Chicago a doctor, who,
because Of the telephone service, is eX.
pected to get large share of the
rural practice in that vicinity. Both
sides in the fight are determined to
win.

HUMAN FINGER IN A CIGAR.
Tennessee Man Visiting at Fort Dods.

Tennessee Man Visiting at Fort Dodge
Made III by Smoking 1t.
George Lombard of Memphis, Tenn,
who is visiting at, the home of relatives
IN Fort Dodge, was made violently i'll
as the result of smoking cigar, in
which part of a human finger was dis
covered. The portion of the finger
was quite large and had part of the
finger nail still clinging to it. 1t had
evidently been cut off the hand of one
of the operators, where the cigars
were manufactured by machinery, and
had thus become lost in the filler.
Lombard had purchased several cigars
of his favorite brand, and had smoked
all but one of them. He had puffed
away at the last OF them but few
moments until he noticed something
wrong with the flavor. He began to
feel sick and for an hour was violently
Ill. In the meantime, his relatives lay
ing his illness to the cigar he was
smoking, made an examination and
discovered that it was piece of hui
man flesh that had caused the trouble.
The cigar had burned down to it and
it almost protruded from the ashes.
1t had been charred by the tobacco at
the burning end and Lombard had
been putting smoke and the odor from
it. The Tennessee man has now quit
the smoke habit.

Socialism By Gradual Steps.

In letter published today social
ist predicted that socialism will be
reached by gradual steps which will
prepare the public mind tor it. He
thinks that after the Initiative and
referendum have been adopted and
after an amendment is secured to ell.
ect United States senators by direct
vote OF the people, it will 5e easier to
submit and pass an amendment for
socialism.
There may be some force and there
is soma wisdom in this statement, but
the trouble ~ that it not the socialist
program. 1t the yast the socialist of
Nebraska, for instance, Instead Of SO
voting as to secure those reforms,
have, by blindly voting their hopeless
tickets, contributed to the defeat of
candidates pledged to those reforms.
They have done this in elections for
congress, and, indirectly, they have
made 1T possible for the Nebraska
railroads to send two Nebraska banks

Preacher RESIGNS

Rev. D. S. Staebler, pastor Of the
Methodist church at Shell Rock, has
resigned by request of the church
board. His resignation is sequel to
a scandal in which the wife of G. w.
Moore, farmer, is involved. Mr..
Staebler was in the habit of meeting
Mrs. Moore at various places, and
wrote her many notes filled with pas
sionate utterances. Recently Moore
began to suspect that all was not right,
and took the neighbors into his conf
dence, and while his wife and children
were at church, Moore's house was
searched, resulting in the finding of a
drawer full of notes and letters from
the pastor. One asked the woman to
meet him at a certain place at Water
loo. Moore has begun suit for divorce.
Staebler admitted his guilt and i'm
mediately rendered his resignation.
He has wife and two children.

Nearesse. Are Suspected.

Rose Porterfield, colored, is under
arrest at Oskaloosa on suspicion Of
being connected with the death of R..
B. Lynn, which the police believe was
murder. Lynn, who was seventy-nine
years of age and prominent member
of the G. A. R., had been absent from
his home for so long time that his
family became alarmed and notified
the police. The officers found the man
in the Porterfield woman's house. He
apparently was very i'll and physician
was sent for. Before the doctor arrived
however, Lynn was dead. Several
empty beer bottles and one containing
cocaine were found in tbs room, and
the post-mortem examination develop
ed trace of the poison in the dead
mans stomach. The Porterfield wo-
man and the other inmates of the
house were placed in jail.

he may be lynched if caught.

and fishing. The Butler home is not
far away, and Johnson has been en-

The only clue the brother of the
girl has is the fact that Johnson's boat
is missing and the tracks of woman,
presumably his sister, were found near
the launching place. The couple dis

Pertinent Ren,ark..

With the permission of certain sa-
pisnt photographers, beg leave to
state that when ! was boy back in
the hill country Of Kentucky I had q
schoolmate Of pugilistic tendencies who
used the word "joedarter" to describe
q blow which reached the right spot.
Whether he invented 1t do not know
and aannot find out, as he has long
since Joined t'the inpumerable cara
van" But whether he coined OK Dor
rowed 1t matters little. 1t was an ex-
pressive word, fully as good as punch"
or "wallop" now in vogue among bruis-
ers. Occasionally the Kansas City Star,
Independent Republican, gives the tar
IL stand patters a "josdarter." Here
10 one which I commend most heartily
to their most careful and prayerful con-
sideration:
An actual exhibit Of American watches
that sell In Europe for about one-half the
price they command in this country was
made Id the house Of representatives the
other day by Mr.. Rainey of Illinois. 1t
gave encouragement to others VINO are
disposed to put in a few words In favor OF
tariff revision when the stress Of present
business in congress permits. Mr.. Perkins
OF New York, for example, declared re-
cAptly that the lead trust was making
from 37,5000Q0 to $10,oO0,O00 every year out
OF the tariff alone. to say nothing of its
legitimate profits below the tariff margin.
Mr.. Perkins is a Republican and. unlike
Mr.. Havemeyer, is not yet willing to say
ip 80 many words that 1.-The tariff is the
mother Of trusts" but he did say about
the same thing Ia this way: "But some
times we see a monster that looks as If
1t owed Its birth and growth to the tariff.
Object lessons like this may not be con-
sldered by the legislators who are OPP
posed to any tariff legislation, but sooner
or later It Is probable they will have their
effect on the people wig choose the legis-
lators.'
And SO they will. Even remembering
the length of time many Of the people
have been fooled on the tariff business
and the difficulty Of getting some persons
to understand that high protection is a
gigantic graft, II is still evident that the
people are coming to their senses. And
It Is significant that scarcely day passes
that some Republican In congress does
not take whack at some tariff abuse.
II the Chicago platform of 1904 did moth
Ing else for tariff revision, 1t at least put
the question in order for any Republican
anywhere and at any time to call it up.
And Republicans in congress are begin
Ming to take advantage of the privilege.

read these letters that hitherto called
particular attention to the most ex-
cellent speeches Of Mr.. Raincy, an Til.

Mistakes In Advertising.

A certain newspaper man In Iowa
relates an experience that might shed
some light on the mail order business.
He was at the town depot and saw
farmer friend receive a set of harness
from Chicago. He attempted to prove
to the latter that he was making a
mistake, as any of the local dealers
would furnish him the same or better
goods just as cheap, and the profit
would be Kept at home. "But" said
the farmer, "this is the first time l
have ever heard that there is a harm
ess shop in this town. I have taken
your paper for five years and have
never seen line o. adver Using in it
about such an institution In all that
time. But you can bet the Chicago
house has kept me posted"
Another case came within our per-
sonal knowledge few days since. A
travelling insurance man was relating
his experience in nearby county seat
town. He visited farmer who car.
ried policy in his company and was
shown 50-pound can of coffee just re-
ceived for which the farmer had paid
1Sceats per pound to a catalogue
house on the statement that the same
good cost 40 cents in any retail estab-
lishment. He slipped q sample into
his pocket aud when he got to town
showed 1T to groceryman friend OF
his, asking what 1T could be sold for
at retail, without explaining where lie
got 1T. The merchant stated that he
would gladly furnish all that anybody
wanted at IL cents and that in large
orders it might be put in little less
and still leave a profit for the dealer.
The trouble with that merchant was
that he advertised In the wrong place.
The trave ing man did not want any
coffee but the farmer did. Undoubt-
eddy the farmer was subscriber to
the local paper. He was constantly
receiving adver tising matter from the
catalogue house giving apparently low
prices and he probably concluded that
he was being robbed. If the merchant
had told him through his paper thai
he would supply him brand of coffee
for IL cents for which the catalogue
house wanted Is, he undoubtedly
would have at least inv stigated the
matter.
The facts are that the mail order
houses owe nine-tenths of their bust
ness to their steady and presistent
advertising. They list an article at
certain price and quote what the re-
taller would ask for it. The custom
er sees that and is never informed to
the contrary. At least one-third of
the merchants of any Iowa town new
er advertise. and in many the number
reaches two-thifdS. They submit year
after year to being lied on, to being
posted as beating their customers, and
The only time when they ever seem to
appreciate the value OF advertising is
when their town paper opens its bare
columns to the mail order houses that
are always eager to fill them up at
full rates.
1t is all folly to claim that the mail
order houses can undersell the local
merchants. 1t is true they have some
advantages but these are nlllitied by
lower expenses, cheaper rents and per-
sonal supervision. When they learn
to advertise % consistently and more
honestly than their city competitor
they will have solved the problem
