Des Moines Paper Would Imply
That Soldiers Home Veteran

SAYS FAMILY is SUSPICIOUS
Relatives of T. J. Kemp, According to
Newspaper, Believe That He Died
From Other Than Natural Causes
Truth of Case is That Death Was
Due Solely to Natural Causes.

A Des Moines newspaper, noted for
its sensationalism, came out in far
ing headlines Friday evening, telling
Of the suspicion Of murder attached
to the death of L. j. Kemp, member
Of the soldiers home, who died in the
home hospital in this city on We'd
nesday. The headlines declare the
body of the old soldier to have been
horribly mangled,'' and that his
head was crushed in" Relatives of
the dead man, it is declared, will in
vestigate.
This yellow bit Of journalism, while
not causing any surprise at headquar-
ters, received the censure Of Com
mandant Horton Saturday when his at
tention was called to the article. The
statements made, however, are so far
removed from the truth, that the

Kemp met with foul play while mem

One statement in the article is that
Kemp's left eye had been completely
smashed in" Another is that there
We're several cuts and bruises on the
mans back, hips and knees"
The truth Of Kemp's death was pub
lished in the T.-R. on the day of its
occurrence. The mans death was due
to nothing more or less than uremic
poisoning, resulting from a kidney dis
order of long standing. The man was
has been given the best of hospital
treatment in the short time he has
been here. The eye referred to was
poisoned by the patients own hands
coming in contact with it, infected
from the poisonous discharge from his
system. This produced erysipelas, or
a trouble very similar to 1t. The
scratches were doubtless due to Kemp
having gouged himself with his finger
nails.
Commandant Horton, Chief Surgeon
Duffield and the undertaken who pre-
pared the body for burial all declare
that there is absolutely no foundation
for any statement that the man came
to his death from any other than nat

there were no evidences of murder on

for this meeting was the story and

addressed as much to the parents as
to their children. He deplored the
sight he saw on the city's streets Sat-
urday night of so many young people,
many Of them mere children. who

main in the city today for the shop

Heavier Than Supposed.

According to a statement made late
Saturday night by an officer of the
Marshalltown Drop Forge Company,
the loss sustained by the company in
the fire of Saturday morning was $4,000,
and was very much heavier than even
the officers of the company at first
supposed Much of the stock that was
damaged was finished articles that
were just ready for shipment. An ex-
animation of the burned part of the
building has shown that it will have
to be partly rebuilt to make the upper
floor safe. The loss, as enumerated by

a big bonfire Saturday night in pas

doubtless selected with view that the
defeated litigant would not miss the
sight which he probably wouldn't go
far to see. Boxes and barrels, soaked
in oil, were piled in a big heap, and a
match was touched. A war dance
around the fire, with cheers for Peter

It is sometimes unfortunate to have

not alter ones desire to carry an UNI

Christmas gift umbrellas are just the
kind of gift goods which make Christ

kind that the other fellow is most like

presents for men anyway, unless one
buys fine umbrella like Hellberg has
put in especially for Christmas.
Not only has Hellberg splendid line
of gentlemen's umbrellas, but the same
thing is true of ladies' umbrellas, and
it cannot be denied that they make
nice presents for ladies.

The Souvenir,M

1t happened on one of the United
States cruisers at Hampton Roads,
says the Washington Herald. A lieu.
tenant, having met two very charming
ladies while ashore, invited them on
board for luncheon. They came and
we're shown over the ship. They lin
gered long in the lieutenant's room,
which was daintily furnished, and
they admired his photographs OF
home. When he was summoned on
deck he left them there. Returning.
he took them to luncheon, and, hav-
ing to go on duty in the afternoon, he
excused himself so as to get into uni
form. Alas! he found that every but
ton on his best coat had been cut off,
and then he remembered that one of
tunate on the souvenir question. He
got her alone after luncheon and ac-
cused her of the theft, and after some
prevarication she confessed that the
buttons were in her corsage. With
some firmness the lieutenant led the
culprit to his cabin, pointed silently to
the denuded coat on the bunk, pro-
duced needle and thread and, going
out, locked the door on the outside.
In half an hour he returned. unlocked
the door, found that his coat was once
more in excellent order, and then with
great gallantry bowed the lady over
the side. She has not been invited
TO luncheon on the same ship since.

that money without working for it,"
asked the bewildered Irishman, when
the other was through explaining.
Sure thing. All the work you got to
do is to count the mazuma." ''Ill thry
it," said Pat. So they hied them to a
racecourse, where the sporty-looking
gentleman placed Pats money at odds
of five to one. And the horse won!
Pats joy was unbounded when he was
handed large roll of yellow-backed
bills. Calling his new-found friend to

trembled with excitement: "Oi say,
