DIES MILKING COWS
SUDDEN SUMMONS CONES TO jim CASSIL
WORKING FOR NELS REMMEN.
Man Who Has Been Working About Decorah
for Two or Three Years Drops Dead
While Milking Cows. No Relatives
in This Section.

Jim l.. Cassil, an eccentric old man
of peculiar habits who has been
working in different places through
out the county for the past two or
three years, suddenly dropped dead on
Friday while milking cows at the
farm of Nels Remmen. southeast of
the city. Coroner Dr. A. j. Swezey
was Immediately notified and going
out to the farm brought the body to
the undertaking rooms of j. M.
Boehm, where it was embalmed and
has since been kept, while efforts
have been made to notify his rela-
tives.
Mr. Cassil was about sixty years
Of age, and has been about Decorah
for two or three years. At one time
he peddled safety lamp wicks about
town, and has also worked on the
farms of Addie Jewell and Sheriff
Thos. Qualley. A post mortem ex-
animation was made and it was found
that death resulted from aneurism Of
the aorta. In searching his clothing
DR.. Swezey found a wallet in his
overalls which contained $1l6. all in
five dollar bills excepting one silver
dollar, and it was pinned in with a
safety pin, having the appearance of
being deposited there for use in de-
fraying funeral expenses, as he had
often said that he had enough money
about him for this purpose. There
was also a photo of his niece and a
letter written by her from Hutchin-
son, Kansas, six years ago. Since his
death it has been found out that the
niece had been married and is living
at Mt. Vernon, Ohio 1t being impos-
sible to reach her by telegram, letters
were sent to Kansas and Ohio, and
the body has been deposited in the
vault at the cemetery awaiting reply.
Besides the SIG he had a watch on
his person.
He was an eccentric character, re-
fusing TO sleep in houses, and having
other peculiar ideas. He always slept
in barns or sheds. Several parties
owe him money, so that he has suffi-
cient means to meet his funeral ex-
penses.
An incident connected with his
death is worthy of mention and CON-
AS soon as he heard of
the old mans death Mr.. o. Viste
came to the coroner and told him that
he owed the deceased 800 for work
and was ready to pay it. There are
many, we regret to state, who would
have said nothing about the amount.
for there was nothing to show that
he owed it, but Mr.. Viste was too
honest to do such thing.

From the Scientific American it is
larneh that 'Nicotineless' tobacco
is the coming thing for the smoker.
1t is generally acknowledged that the
great harm from the use of tobacco
comes from the small per cent of
nicotine that it contains The tobac-
co is popularity known as "Caporal
Doux." and it is prepared in France
by simply washing with water until
the ordinary proportion Of 2k per
cent of nicotine has been reduced to
/ per cent. In this form it is used
for smoking in pipes and or other pur-
poses. The "Caporal Doux" retails
at 81. 46 per pound because the process
of washing out the nicotine also re.
moves some of the weight.

and Estimates Out for Big Bridge.

Two very important points have
been scored recently by the Minneapo-
lis, Rochester and Dubuque Traction
Company, better known as the Dan
Patch Air Line.
The new company has secured a
written agreement from the Twin
City Rapid Transit Company whereby
the interurban cars can be run over
the local company's tracks wherever
it is necessary within the city limits,
and President NJ w. Savage has
practically closed a contract with a
thoroughly experienced electric in
terurban official in the East who will
act as General Manager of the new
interarban corporation. This former
achievement disposed of the fears Of
many "doubting Thomases' while
the latter means volumes for the COM

eighteen years experience in every
department of this work and will
come from the general rlanagership of
a dividend-paying interurban of the
East which he leaves highly recon-

opportunity.
These things are in keeping with
the whole progressive course pursued
by the Traction Company since its re-
organization few weeks ago. APP

With reorganized force the grad

Steel and ties for fifteen miles of
railroad have been contracted for and
will be delivered in Minneapolis
shortly. Negotiations for rolling
stock are we'll under way and Presi-
dent Savage states that some of the
best passenger equipment known to
electric interurbans will be purchased.
1t is expected that cars will be run

and Minneapolis before the end of
the present year. Bids on the long
bridge crossing the Minnesota River
are being figured by several con-

directors to build this bridge during
