come an occasional contributor if my

out trail slightly diverging from that

hesitate to copy from other writer's who
have given us food for tho't. If at any
time you should consider your corns
tramped upon strike right back and the
infliction will be endured without a
finch.
will begin with an article l clipped
from a.paper when | was but youth.
1t was first published in 14s8 and re-
published IN 1851 and many times since,
vet it is unfamiliar to many to whom
have shown it. 1t is known as
"MOTHER SYMPTOMS PROPHECY" ;"
Carriages without horses shall go
And accidents fill t. e world with wo,
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye;
Water shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through the hills men shall ride
And no horse be at his sid.
Under water men shall walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk,
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black, in green.
Iron shall in the water float
As easy as wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and found
In land that's not now known
Fire and water shall wonders do!
England at last shall admit Jew.
The world unto an end shall come
In eighteen hundred eighty-one.
Eliminating the last couplet, making
lue allowance for one or two figures of
ipeech it will be seen that what was
when first published considered Curl
rus medley eminating from disordered
,rain has, in these days, become a re-
ilism. some, yes, most Of them have
become so within the recollection of
many now living.
The first couplet is succinct des-
cription of the automobile, the next is
the telegraphy, then follows steam, the
discovery of gold, our great tunnels,
submarine boats, air ships, iron clad
ships floating DER the sea, the finding
of gold in this, then unknown country
& c G. are today matter Of history.

intended and not wishing to trespass,

Epidemic Feared In Great Con-
centration Camps Formed By
Chinese Refugees
CONDITIONS MOST APPALLING
Total Estimated Cost Of Feeding stsrv.
inq Millions Is Nearly $4,000 Daily
Task Of Controlling Situation Far
Beyond the Authorities-WhoIe FAM
lily, Despairins Of Aid, Drown Selves.

Washington. Jan. 30.-The appalling
famine as told in Chinese newspapers
and other mail reaching the state de-
partment coupled with a warning Civ
en- by Consul General Rodgers, of the
possible effect of outbreaks which are
daily occurring in the same districts,
have attracted the attention Of the gov
ernment authorities, and developments
will be closely watched.
One of the greatest dangers which
the relief workers confront, is the epi-
demic in the great concentration
camps which have been formed by ref
ueees who have fled from the stricken
districts to the south by tens of thou
sands. The people live, some of them
only partially clothed, and others en-
tirely naked, in mud huts to-
gether by mating. Medical supplies
and skill are badly needed in these
self-formed camps, as well as food ana
clothing. Inc HdLlVG OllC1a1S d1o eAs
thorities are doing their utmost 10
control the situation, but the task Is
now far beyond them, and outside aid
is badly needed. Estimates have been
made of the cost of feeding each starv-
ing person, and the total amount will
reach close to $4,000 daily The esti-
mate is based upon the calculation that
4 600 900 people are actually starving.
Some incidents of the famine related
in the Chinese press are most revolt
ing. A story is told of one family, con-
sisting of the mother and father and
two children The mother left home to
search for food, and while she was
away, the father, despairing Of aid.
threw both children into the river. The
mother returned, and learning what
had happened, threw herself in the
river and drowned. The grief stricken
father followed, and thus the whole
family perished.

N DEATH
MYSTERY At CAPITAL
Mrs. William G. copley and
Babe Shot and Husband is
Under Arrest
FORMER RESIDENTS OF WALNUT
copIey Say. Wife Shot Herself and
Babe, But officer. Declare They
Were Enthusiastically a Former
Member Of the Fifty-fourth Iowa
Resment-ReIatives Live in State.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-Police officials
are busy today trying to solve the mys-
terry as to whether Mrs. Amanda NJ.
Copley and her three-m -months-old baby,
after midnight, were murdered or
whether Mrs. Copley shot her infant
and then committed suicide. The lat
ter theory is the explanation given by
the husband, William G. Copley, a
clerk in the census office, who is held
at the police station pending an in
vestisation.
Lieutenant Falvey, after examining
the wound which caused Mrs. Copley's
death, said it would have been next to
impossible for the woman to have in
ficted the injury herself. Shortly aft
er midnight Copley called in DR.. John
S. Dorsey, telling him his wife had
attempted to commit suicide. When
the physician arrived at the Copley
residence, both Mrs. Copley and the
baby were dead. He Immediately no
titled the police and the husband and
father was placed under arrest. He
was subjected to a severe examination
at the police station, but insisted his
wife had killed herself. The prisoner
declared he did not know the baby had
been shot until the doctor pulled down
the covers of the bed in which the two
were lying.
Copley admitted that he and his wife
had quarreled in the early part of the
night. and said his wife had taken two
children, Raymond, aged 8. and Ruth.
the baby, and gone to her room. He
went to his room on the second floor
to retire for the night. Shortly before
midnight, he said, he head two shots
in the bedroom occupied by his wife
and that he Immediately rushed into
the room and found the wife had shot
herself. Without making further ex-
animation he hurried, to the residence
of the physician.
The Copleys We're married in Iowa
and until they came to Washington in
1902 resided at Walnut. Pottawattamie
county. Copley is 35 years old. He was
member Of the Fifty-first Iowa
regiment, and served some time in the
Philippines. Mrs. Copley was 29 years
of age, and her maiden name was
Amanda NJ Bunker. Both have rela-
tives in Iowa and Illinois. Both are
given excellent regulations by neigh
bors
An inquest will be held tomorrow.
AS the official investigation proceeds
the belief gains ground that the case
was one of murder and suicide on the
part of the woman.

HIS BODY IN LAKE
William wieboidt, Missing Chicago
Merchant, Committed Suicide -
Daughter Also Missing, Found to Be
With Friends.

Chicago. Jan. 30-Edward p. Lang
worthy. attorney for William r. Wei
boldt, once wealthy merchant and
board of trade operator, informed the
police today that Wieboidt, who has
been missing for several days, had
thrown himself into the lake. His
daughter, who also has been missing,
was said by the attorney to be seclud-
ed with friends in the city. 1t was
claimed by the police that Wieboldt
had set fire to the store which he op-
Grated in the northern part of the city.
and they have been looking for him.
According to Langworthy. Wieboldt
Jumped into Lake Michigan at o'clock
Saturday night His daughter, Mar
tina. between whom and her father
there existed a strong attachment.
pleaded with the father to let her die
with him, but he refused and insisted
she live to defend his memory. Accord
ing to Langworthy, Wieboldt, before
committing suicide, declared he did not
attempt to burn the store, but said it
was useless to attempt to live it down.
The statements regarding Miss Vie
boldt, made by Langworthy, were later
denied by Miss Wieboldt, who declared
she knew nothing in regard to the dis
appearance Of her father. She said she
was willing to give the police all pos
sible aid in finding him.

NAY REJECT ALL BIDS
Government May Conclude to Dig the
Canal Without Aid Of Contractors
President and Taft Considering the
Matter.

Washington, Jan. 30.-It is still pos
sible the administration may determine
to dig the Panama canal, placing the
work in the hands of Chief Engineer
Stevens, instead of having it come un-
der contract The final decision will
rest with the president and secretary
of war, and will depend on their opin-
ion as to whether the administration
is justified in accepting the bid to do 1t
by contract It is pointed out today
on high authority that the government
has not promised to accept the bid Of
w. ]. Oliver, who has been given the
opportunity to associate himself with
two other contractors to do the work
at his bid of 6A per cent. The presi-
dent and Taft feel the question of cost
is not one alone to be considered, and
that they would be justified in declining
to enter into contract to dig the
canal if they felt the government inter-
ests would be best subserved by not do

the Tragedy.

Iowa Friends and Relatives Shocked at
the Tragedy.
Walnut, Iowa, Jan. 30.-The report
of the death of Mrs. Amanda Copley
and infant child at Washington, with
the arrest of the husband, created a
profound surprise here, where the par
ties have resided since infancy. They
stood high in the public estimation. No
more highly respected persons reside
here than the Copleys and Bunkers.
Will Copley, in particular, was popu-
lar. He came here from Illinois with
his parents when but years of age,
and resided here until he enlisted in the
Fifty-first Iowa at the outbreak of the
Spanish war. He served in
the Philippines and soon after his re-
turn home married Amanda Bunker,
the only child Of William Bunker.
Two years ago Copley went to Wash
ington, where he entered the census
bureau After his marriage Mr.. and
Mrs. Copley lived here about a year.
Their married life was SO harmonious
that the admission that they had quar-
relied came as a severe shock to the
friends and relatives. Mrs. Copley's
mother died recently and her father is
now in Sioux City.
