His limbs stiffen and flies tickle his

to send him to the hospital.
Schropp was brought to the city by

brought before the insane commission

Mason City, Sept. ga former
Iowan, F. w. Lowell, now of Cleveland,
O., has designed and perfected great
labor saving device which is sure to
revolutionize the present methods of
loading ocean going vessels with coal.
This new device is monster machine
which is able to pick bodily from the
water golfers to the capacity Of 100
tons, lift them sixty feet in the air,
and dump their contents into the holds
of the vessels.
Mr.. Lowell is the chief engineer of
the McMyler Iron Works of Cleveland,
O., by whom the first of these great
new machines will be built for the use
Of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation COM
pany of Philadelphia. The completed
machine and plant necessary to oper-
ate will cost s250,0OO. The idea or
iginated from the machines used for
dumping railway cars and which were
first used in 1898. Mr.. Lowell also de-
veloped this idea and the first railway
car bumper was manufactured by his
firm in that year. 1t took six months
to complete the plans for this machine
which will hoist and dump immense
Golfers.
Mr.. Lowell was born and raised near
Humboldt, Iowa, and is a graduate of
the state university. He is a son-in-
law of Senator John d. Glass of this
city.

Eagle Grove, Sept. 23.-Clarence
Schaffer was killed yesterday after
noon at about o'clock, by a threshing
engine breaking thru bridge, his life
being crushed out OF him before help
could remove the heavy machinery
from the victim. He was the youngest
son of Calvin Schaffer, who is one of
the prominent farmers of this COM
munity, living south Of town, about
three miles.
The threshing outfit is a. new one,
Schaffer and Sons purchasing 1t just
this season. At the time of THE acct
dent they were on their way home af-
ter having finished up the odd jobs OF
successful season. The place over
which they were crossing was only a
temporary bridge thrown across the
highway over one of the big bitches
that is being constructed in this sec
ton of the county. The bridge gave
way without warning, giving the young
man no time to escape. The damage to
the engine will be considerable.
Clarence was preparing to enter high
school and finish his school work, ex-
pecting to marticulate this week. He
would have been a valuable acquisition
to the foot ball and track teams, hav-
ing been, while in school, one OF the

| Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Sept. 23-oiling pub
| lie roads for the purpose of keeping
down the dust, and maintaining an
even surface, is an entire success, ac-
cording to the belief of Council Bluffs
| experimenters.
| No better time, owing to the unusual
dry condition of the ground, and
scarcely a better place could have been
selected than the one under observa-
ton here. West Broadway, where a
portion of the center of the street was
left open when the street was paved
has been the working ground of the
road men.
DR.. 7. B. Lacey, an enthusiastic au-
toist, who had the oiling of Broadway
in charge, says that tho there was still
dust two inches deep in places on the
roadway, that the Oil had laid it so
that it did not fly and fill the air.
Our experiment was tried under the
most unfavorable circumstances" said
DR.. Lacey, 1.-The oil being put down at
a time when the dust was thick. Our
inability to keep heavy wagons OF the
road before the oil had opportunity to
solidify the surface, was also against
us, but we feel that it has been effort
well spent"
A. L. English, manager of the Citi
zens' Gas and Electric company, said
that the automobile club had tried the
experiment at am inopportune time and
that it was his opinion that it was on
a poor section of ground. "The surface
on West Broadway" he said, sis full
of pieces of wood and glass and other
foreign matter which make it difficult
to obtain hard oil coating. I believe,
however, that if the wagons could be
kept off and frequent applications were
made for short time that the object
could be accomplished"
Other sections of the city will be
treated to oil, and an effort made to
ascertain conditions necessary to OBJ
tain the best results. As a general
proposition, oil for roads has come in
to distinct favor with the Council
Bluffs autoists
