Webster City, March 13.-Was the
man killed in railway accident at
Denison Monday Jasper or Elias Hol-
man, who until three weeks ago. was
a well known employ of the Armory
opera house in this city, serving in the
capacity of scene shifter?
This is the question that is agitating
the minds of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Hol-
man, of this city, parents of Elias, and
of other Webster City people who have
heard the news that an unknown man
was killed at Denison and that among
the papers on his body was found an
Armory opera house date book which
is known to have been the property of
Elias Holman. Authorities in Denison
communicated with Captain Hyatt,
manager of the local opera house, hop-
ing that he might throw some light on
tie dead man and aid in the establish
ment of his identity, but little salts
faction could be secured and the iden-
tity of the man still remains a mys-
terry, the clearing of which is anxious
ly awaited by Webster City people.
A smooth face man about 80 years
of age met death in a railroad acct
dent there Monday. The man was
unknown, and the only article found on
his body that could be used for identi-
fication was a theatrical book which
gave list of a number OF theatrical
troupes with the dates of their appear
ance at a certain opera house whose
name was not given In the book. Aside
from this list the only writing In the
book consisted of the name George
Mcdonald" which was scrawled there
in. No residence or other information
in regard to George Mcdonald" was
given
1t is known positively that only five
armory date books have been given out
and four of these have been located In
this city. Captain and Mrs. Hyatt,
Arthur Martin and Charles Follett each
hold one. The other was issued to
Holman. He left the employ Of the
opera house three weeks ago and left
the city with the Vic Hugo vaudeville
troupe, which was bound for Cedar
Rapids Holman went there with them
and then secured a position in the AL
lison house there, where his brother
also works. He was there three days
ago when he wrote q letter here to his
parents.

Monticello.
Two picture peddlers who worked the
country in this neighborhood, last
week, have come to grief. One Of them
is serving a thirty days sentence in the
Jones county Jail, and it is reported
that the second one is in Jail at Waver-
ly for selling without a license. These
fellows worked thru the country with
a lot of cheap hashy pictures with IN
ferior pine frames which they sought to
sell to the farmers wives, and in most
cases the pictures We're traded for
chickens. 1t was their boast before
leaving town that the day they spent
in the country around Monticello, they
cleaned up $50. 1t appears that they
went to the home of Emery Leggett
north of Monticello, and finding nobody
at home but the children, reported to
the children that their father had di-
rected them to leave a picture and take
eight chickens in exchange therefor.
The children took in the picture and
helped catch the chickens. When the
father and mother returned home, the
matter was reported to Them and they
declared that they had not seen the
picture sellers and had given no such
direction. Thereupon a warrant was
issued for one of the picture vendors
charging him with petty larceny. Sher-
iff Hogan found him at Waterloo, and
brought him to Monticello. He was
arraigned before .Juctice Locher, who
imposed the full penalty of the law, to
wit: a sentence of thirty days in the
county Jail. The defendant gave his
name as Tom Young.

ELIGIBLES ARE
VERY SCARCE
COVE RNMENT UNABLE TO GET
MEN TO TAKE EXAMS.
First Examinations for the Consular
Service Being Held Today With
Few Observation-Disclosures Are
Too Severe.

Washington, March 1.-THE diff
Guilty in securing eligibles for consular
positions lies mainly in the fact that
it is very hard to find applicants
properly equipped technically with
the necessary knowledge of two or
more languages, and at the same time
possessing an acquaintance with
worldly affairs and business methods
likely to make them good consulars,
1t is probable that some changes OF
more or less Importance will be made
in the scheme for examinations al
ready laid down before the applicants
are actually called before the exam
liners in the state department.
The first of the examinations for
the consular service under the new
rules lai ddown by Secretary Root has
been fixed for today, and many appli-
cants have presented themselves for
the positions. AS there are about
dozen vacancies in the service, there
is a. good chance for an eligible to Sc
cure place at once.

kAIsER'S GIFT
TO LONDON
RRITAINs ARE STILL AGoe OVER
THE GIFT.
Statue of William III Is to Be Placed
in Front Of kensinston Palace, the
site Which Has Been Selected by
King Edward.

London, March 14.-London news
papers are still agog over the statue
of William III which the kaiser has
presented to London. The site for the
statue, in front of Kensington palace,
has been selected by King Edward for
the reason that Kensington was the
favorite home Of William, and it was
there that he entertained Peter the
Great and there he died March 8,
1902. King William has not been for
tunate in post norton tributes to his
greatness. When he died the privy
council, for some good reason of their
own, resolved to bury him unobtrus-
lively in the abbey, and to erect mon
ument to him there, as well as an
equestrian statue in some public
square. The good resolutions of the
privy council were never fulfilled. All
that Westminster Abbey holds in
memory of the king is his effigy. Tardy
homage was, however, done by the
placing of marble statue in the great
hall of the Bank of England in 1885.
Hull, in the previous year. had put
UP one to the meory of "Our Great
Deliverer." Petersfield is the only
other English town that has honored
the silent, morose hero of the house
of Nassau. Ireland thinks she has
done more than her share by planting
his statue in College Green.

Conference Held to Consider consti

Albany, NJ ", March IA con-
ference called by the Albany chamber
OF commerce is considering today the
Merritt water storage amendment to
the state constitution. which is now
pending in the legislature. The call
for delegates to the conference was
sent to the mayors of cities and presi-
dents of villages in the state. and also
to come as representatives of business
organizations. 1t is declared by the
chamber of commerce that it seems to
be most desirable that the sentiment
of the state should be secured on this
most important matter, and that this
method is taken to bring about a
capitalization of the sentiment of
municipalities and commercial bodies
regarding the subject.

SALES BELOW PAR.
Bill to Be Presented in New York
Allowing Sale of City Stock.


New York, March 14.-It is reported
from Albany that it was stated that
on Comptroller Metz's suggestion a
bill was to be introduced permitting
the city to raise the rate of interest
on corporate stock from 4 to 5 per
cent Mr.. Metz said yesterday that
no such proposition had ever been
made by him, but he said he would
advocate a bill allowing the city stock
to be sold below par. II fully realize
he added "that it may be difficult to
continue selling bonds at par or a.
little more than par at the rate of a
per cent. The money market and the
rate of interest, fortunately, cannot
be regulated by statute. but are de-
pended entirely upon conditions which
vary from time to time. In my opin-
ion, the only logical thing to do so as
not to discriminate against the bonds
already issued and outstanding
against the city, is to change the
charter provision which does not allow
the comptroller to sell bonds below
par. If this restriction were removed,
bonds could be sold on a per cent
interest basis and be dependent en-
tirely upon market conditions at the
time of SALE"
