Sheep Raising In Australia.

The greatest industry of Australia
is sheep raising, mainly for the sake
of the wool, but also in part, Of
course, for the meat. Australia now
ranks second among the great sheep
raising countries, Argentina being
first with 100000 sheep, Australia
second with 100000, and Russia

yesrs ago Australia was first, pos
sessing no less than 06,260.000 head
of sheep. That was in 1891. Pro-

Tried to Suicide.

Mrs. Thomas Hurley, of Garden Grove,
made an unsuccessful attempt to COM
mitt suicide at her home in that town
Sunday morning, by drinking carbolic
acid. 1t is reported that domestic
trouble was the cause of the rash act.
On Saturday evening she went to
Stiles drug store and gave Mr.. Stiles
four cents, saying she wanted some
carbolic acid. He gave her a small
bottle of acid. Sunday morning after
breakfast she said she believed
she would go up to the home of her
mother, Mrs. Rogers, after which she
passed into the kitchen and poured the
acid in cup. Mr.. Hurley was sitting
in the house reading and did not no.
tice her pass through the room and go
up stairs, but in few minutes heard
struggle upstairs and going to her
found she had swallowed the carbolic
acid. DR.. Lyon was hastily summoned
and gave her an antidote, and in a
short time DR.. Doolittle was called also.
They worked with her for several
hours, and she is still in serious con-
dition, being badly burned. The fact
that she had eaten very hearty break
fast prevented the poison from acting
quickly, and it is thought she will re-
cover. She is about 40 years of age,
and the mother of six children, some of
them quite young.

STEPHEN WHITF HURST
One of the Oldest and Most InfIuen-
tiaI Citizens of Leon is Called

Dorchester county, Md, July 81. 1886,
died at his home in Leon, Iowa, June II,
1907, aged 20 years, 10 months and II
days.
The sudden calling of Mr.. Hurst came
as great shock to his friends, for al
though exceeding mans allotted three
score years and ten he was of such
vigorous nature that few realized how
old he was, and until within short
time of his death had enjoyed except
ional good health.
Mr.. Hurst was born on farm four
miles from Cambridge, Md. His father,
Rev. Stephen Hurst, was Methodist
minister, and slave holder, but it was
his rule to liberate his slaves when
they reached the age of % years.
Upon the death of his father when he
was a lad of ten years of age, his
mother and family moved to Cambridge,
where his youth was spent, receiving
his education at Cambridge Academy.
When he was Is years of age he secured
a position as clerk in store at Balti-
more, where he remained two years, and
there secured an insight into the mer-
camille business which decided his
future career. In 1855 he came to
Blakesburg, Iowa, and spent the sum-
mer, returning to Baltimore the same
fall. His trip to the then new state Of

CAMPHOR CAUGHT FIRE
Alta Lockwood, of Woodland, is Ser
iousIy Burned while Bathing her
Chest with Spirit Cdmphor.

A curious and nearly fatal accident
occurred at the home of John Q. Lock-
wood, in Woodland township, last We'd
nesday evening, resulting in the severe
burning of his twelve year old daughter,
Alta, by an explosion of camphor. She
had been bathing her chest with spirits
of camphor just prior to retiring for the
night. A lamp was burning on a table
in tho room and the gas arising from
the alcohol in the camphor ignited from
the lamp and in a second she was envcl-
oped in flames. Her brother was in an
adjoining room and heard her scream
and rushed in and extinguished the
flames but not until she was badly
burned about the chest and hands. DR..
Coontz, of Woodland, was called and
dressed the burns, aud she is getting
along nicely. 1t is great wonder that
she did not inhale the flames, which
would have caused death.

Brought the Railroad to Time.

EDITOR REPORTER:-A historic incl
dent of Decatur county in which a
woman played the part of heroine has
just come to my knowledge and think
it worthy of record, for two reasons:
First the county is inst now starting a
historical society and seeking out all
such material. And besides just at this
time when the railroads have announced
their determination to fight to finish
the two cent fare law, the example of
this brave woman may supply the back
bone necessary for the following of her
precedent by others.
The incident was as follows: When
the law reducing railroad fare from it's
former rate to the present three cents
per mile was first established the roads,
Of course, fought desperately as they
always do every measure in favor of the
people, and they declared then as now
that they would not yield. And to
Decatur county woman belongs the
honor (for this section at least) Of offer
ing road it's alternative of defying
the law or complying with it's terms.
Miss Josephine Kellogg took the train
at Garden Grove for Charlton without a
ticket. She rendered the legal fare to-
the conductor. He at first refused it,
but when she calmly remarked that she
would hold her seat as the law was on
her side, he accepted the fare. This
story was given to me by Mrs. Anna
Woodbury.. Mrs. a. L. CURRY.
LATER:-Since writing the above
find the following paragraph in the
daily press showing how Missouri man
tried the same plan with the railroads
in that state:

the Post-Dispatch from Jefferson City,
Mo-, says: &c. W. Thomas, a business
man of this city came unexpectedly to
the aid of the cent rate law last night
by riding free on the Missouri Pacific
railroad from St. Louis. He said to the
conductor:
Il tender you in the presence of these
witnesses the fare from ST. Louis to
Jefferson City at the rate of cents a
mile. You can accept it or put me Off"

Children's day at the Baptist church

Childrens day at the Baptist church
was observed by the rendering of one of
the finest programs ever given in the
First Baptist church of Leon. The chill
dren and all had been SO thoroughly
drilled under the skillful leadership Of
Mrs. Emma Armstrong that for one hour
and half, without ever calling off the
numbers of the songs and pieces and
without single break or flaw, the beau
tiful program was given to the delight
of the immense audience present, many
having been turned away for lack Of
room. Mrs. Armstrong has worked with
untiring effort with the children and
has also had the help OF the parents in
this good work. 1t is conceded that
Sunday nights service at the. Baptist
church surpassed anything ever Of the
kind before the public in southern Iowa.
Truly, it was time long to be remem-
bered by all.
