Death at Petersburg.

John Eike of near Petersburg and
who several years ago made his
home in Dyersville died Saturday,
April ID, 1907, after an illness Of
brief duration.
Deceased was born at st. Louis,
Mo-, April IA, 1860, and lacked one
day of being forty seven years OF
age at the time Of his demise. With
his parents he came to Iowa in 1862
They took up residence at Peters
burg in which community the de.
ceased has resided continuously tc
the time Of his death with the ex.
ception Of several years spent in
Dyersyille. He was Unknown and
his death occasioned regret among
his friends. He is survived by his
mother, five brothers. Joseph Of
Dyersville, Frank, Bernard, Henry
and Anton of Petersburg, and two
sisters, Frances, now Mrs. Anton
Kamphaus, and Mary, now Mrs

outer door of the safety deposit
vault was drilled open and the inner
door, which is of much lighter
weight, could easily have been
sprung open. The nitro-glycerine
was then brought Into play and
there is no doubt but that two
charges were necessary to wreck the
inner and outer doors of the safe.
That the burglars were we'll ac-
quainted with the grounds is shown
by the fact that they obtained, near
by and with apparent ease, all the
materials needed for the work, the
broken drill, nitro-glycerine and
soap being all the evidence.
The getaway was conducted in
much the same manner as the
Masonville robbery. Elijah Bond
lives half mile south of Hazelton,
and when he retired at 8 o'clock
Monday night he left his family
horse in the barn unlocked, the
harness hung up and the buggy
outside the barn in the driveway
When he arose Tuesday morning he
found his horse hitched to the
buggy and standing in the front
yard. The animal showed signs
of hard driving, had been sweat
ing and was shivering in the cold.
AS Mr.. Bond drives the horse to
Oelwein several times each week,
he knows that the horse, driven
there and turned loose, would soon
find its way home again. The
tracks in the roadway plainly showed
that the horse had been started
north from the barn and had re-
turned from the north. 1t is pos
sible, however, that the horse was
driven east or west from Hazelton.
The supposition of all parties is,
however, that the horse was driven
into or near to Oelwein. There is
but one conflicting piece of evidence,
and that is the finding of sling
shot three,quarters of mile north
OF Hazelton. When Section Fore
man Art Nelson and his men were
upon their rounds Tuesday morn
ing they found a mitten that had al
so been stolen from the section
house. 1t was partly filled with
scrap iron taken from barrel out
side the house. This made an ideal
sling shot. 1t is evident that at
least one of the burglars passed over
the track at this point and threw
away this weapon Of defense.
Sheriff Corlis and County Attorney
O'Brien were upon the grounds as
soon as possible Tuesday morning.
The burglars, however, had all the
advantages they could desire and
evidently will escape to their entire
satisfaction.
None Of the residents of Hazelton
recall any suspicious persons about
town with the exception of a week
previous, when two strangers, APP
parently about 40 years old, were
around and bore no evidence of be-
ing there on business trip. Agent
Mcdonald, Of the Rock Island, also
states that a stranger spent some
time in the station on Friday or
Saturday, whose appearance could
not be classed as that Of a man with

The Idaho Infamy.

There has been and is now being
perpetrated in this country an in
fanny greater in magnitude than that
of which Dreyfus was the victim.
There are features involved in our
own infamy that strike at the very
foundation of our form of govern
ment. Constitutional guarantees are
ignored and the rights of man are
trampled in the dust.
Out in Idaho three men, pro1ni-
nent in their sphere Of activity and
possessed of more than ordinary
ability and character, selected for
official position in one of the great
labor organizations of the country
because of the trust and confidence
|reposed in them, are now being tried
for murder for which they are no
more guilty than you who read this
article.
Not only are these men being
tried for murder, but they are being
tried among strangers who are pre-
JUDGED against them, far away from
their home anG friends, with the
chances Of conviction greatly against
them because of the periured testi-
mony that has been worked up
against them by the hired villains
who have been assigned to this
damnable work.
These men, Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, are citizens Of Colorado.
They were kidnapped by superior
but illegal force, removed from their
homes during the night, transported
out of the state illegally and con-
trary to all guarantees of the con-
stitution, transported to Idaho to be
tried for a crime they never COM
mitted, before court in the midst
of enemies and upon evidence that
no man Of any self-respect could
possibly countenance.
One Of the witnesses has made
affidavit that his evidence was &C.
cured under threat and was periured.
The defendants of the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners and their perse-
cutors are the mine owners, who be-
came incensed because of strike
and determined to get rid of the
three leaders of the miners by trum-
ping up the charge that they had
blown Governor Frank Steunenberg
of Idaho, into fragments with ,dyna-
mite.
We await the result in fear and
trembling. Will innocence suffer
and will the Dreyfus infamy be re-
peated? Will the United States re-
peat the blunder made by France!
Will legal outlawry be sanctioned
by the authority of a court verdict?

Rest is the great restorer

Rest is the great restorer. We
tire our muscles by exercise and
then rest to restore them; vet a
great many of lis do not stop to
think how little rest we give to our
stomachs. AS usual thing no
part Of our bodies is so generally
overworked as our digestive organs.
A tired and overworked stomach
will give signs Of distress to which
we pay no heed until at last Dys-
pepsia takes hold. Indigestion is
Just a warning, and if we heed the
warning we can easily avoid further
consequences. KODOL is a most
thorough stomach relief. 1t di-
gests what you eat and gives the

assists in restoring it to it's normal
activity and usefulness. KODOL

Cinnamon Topers,

Both cinnamon and cassia contain
tannin, and too much of either has the
same effect as excessive tea drinking
There are cinnamon and cassia topers
who are as much addicted to the habit
Of chewing the bark as some men are
to chewing tobacco. The cinnamon
topers acquire their habit chiefly from
working in the woods stripping the
bark from the trees and drying it. 1t
is graded by men who taste tiny NOR
sci Of each lot. At first this causes the
lips and throat to swell. but in time
this undesirable effect overcomes itself,
and genuine love for the bark is ac-
Quired.

Sleep.

Chicago Chronicle: In recent
issue of the Pail Mall Gazette are
some remarks about sleep which are
interesting and important and which
are in accordance with the general
belief of mankind, and yet which
seem to require modification. One
Of these is that people require less
sleep in old age than at any other
period of life and the other is that
the sleep enjoyed in the early hours
of the night is the most refreshing
and is properly called beauty sleep"
1t is astonishing that any physi-
clan or person with powers of close
observation should believe that peo-
pie need less sleep in old age. If
they had noticed the habits of old
people in regard to sleep is that
they need it little and often" Ev-
cry elderly person who has the leis-
ure and the means takes a few hours
Of sleep during the night and takes
few more during the day. Little
and often" is the most marked
characteristic Of old age not only in
regard to sleep but in regard to
eating and perhaps other bodily
habits.
1t may be that children under l6
years old require less sleep than in
fants, but the greatest sin commit
ed against childhood consists in in
terfering with its sleep. 1t is con-
Isidered Incidence for them to lie
abed and they are frequently rousted
out of bed in the morning to teach
them industrious habits. There
could be no greater wrong done
them. They oughtto be driven to
bed early and then allowed to sleep
until they prefer to get up. The
rude interruption Of their sleep in
the morning inficts an injury on
their nervous systems which follows
them through life and affects not on
ly their health but their intellectual
and moral character.
The remark about beauty sleep
is just as open to criticism. There
are a great many people who work
at night and sleep in the day time
who are unable to discover any
thing unnatural or injurious about
it. The idea that sleep before mid.
night is especially refreshing is
easily accounted for. People who
go to bed late generally retire with
full stomachs and excited and ex.
hausted nerves, so that their sleer
is disturbed. A person of gooc
physical habits is as much refreshed
by sleep at one time as another.
Sleep in the day time cannot b.
expected to be as refreshing as SLEEP
in the night, because unless on,
lives in a.retired place, the noises
in the day time make absolute slum
Der impossible. If a person lives
in quiet country place or if he il
naturally deep sleeper, he will be
just as much refreshed by day SLEEP
as night sleep. Moreover, ther'
is nothing SO ruinous to person.

Winthrop News.
The Vinton Eagle is complaining
that taxes are too high in Vinton.
A similar complaint comes from the
great majority of the smaller cities.
The residents of the large cities are
not the only ones who have griev-
ance over the question Of taxes.
But what are the cities, big and lit
tie, going to do about it? The
most of them will probably take it
out in kicking. The condition il
illustrates the need of revision of
the taxation laws, or more econom-
ical administration, or an equaliz-
ing of tax values. Very probably
there is the need of all three. The
revision taxation laws are lame; it
is conceded that lack of economy
goes with municipal government,
and everybody knows there are
inequalities in the assessment of
property for taxation. If a tax re-
vision commission we're called into
being it would find plenty of work
to which it might give attention.

An electric lighting system for
Strawberry Point is not out Of the
question. The latter part of last
week, Jas. j. Roe of Hampton, Iowa,
brother of Mrs. Geo. Hesner of this
city, was here looking over the field
with q view to ascertaining the pub
lie sentiment and estimating the
cost of a plant suitable for Straw
berry Point. He was very favorably
impressed with the general prosper
ity of the town. His estimates con-
WINGED him that the matter of put
ting in plant here was worthy of
further consideration and it is prob
able that he will be ready with some
definite proposition within q week
or two. He has one or two other
similar deals pending which will be
closed up one way or the other with
in a week and he will then know
definitely what he can do for Straw
berry Point. Mr.. Roe has an cleo
trio light and power plant at Hamp-
ton, Iowa, which is very successful.
He said that if he put a plant in
here he would also put in a steam
heating plant, provided that he
could purchase a site near enough
t. the business section to make it
pay.-Mail Press.

lama county's experience with
tax ferrets has not been very salts
factory. She has employed them
twice. The first deal was some six
or eight years ago. The ferrets then
got half they collected, which was a
good deal better thing for them than
the county. Yet only $4,000 in
back taxes was secured all told. In
some counties from $4,000 to $780,
600 has been collected by ferrets,
but it seems that Tama county peo-
pie are either more honest or more
artful and successful dodgers. Many
lawsuits were started and much liti-
cation INDUCED in tocollect the &c.
600. The second contract with fer
rets was made nearly two years ago.
This time little over $4,000 was
collected and the ferrets got but
fifteen per cent of this or less than
5000. They lost money in the deal
but the county did fairly we'll. They
were much more gentlemanly and
mild with the public than the former
ferrets and left much better feel
ing. They paid one man over $500
salary in looking up records not to
mention other expenses. The coun-
ty is ahead nearly $4,000 as the
result of the work of both firms Of
ferrets, but both expected to collect
about double this amount.-Trae1
