The So.Called Dead Have Never Died

The only satisfac tory answer to
the momentous question. Are the
dead alive! must be founded upon
facts, says Alfred Russell Wallace,
in the November Delineator. Dur
ing the last sixty years evidence
has been accnmulating 10 every
part of the world which affords
demonstration that the so-caI|ed
dead have never really died at all =,
but have passed into new and
higher stage Of existance. Many
of these are able to communicate
with us, and most of them assure
US that when they wake from the
sleep we call death" they find
themselves much more alive than
ever they were before. And this
is only what we might expect. for
we all feel that our mental facul-
ties are to some extent clogged
and stif1ed by the garment of flesh,
and that only when in The most
perfect health do our higher facuI-
ties attain their fullest expression.
This rapid entrance on state of
spiritual weIlbeing aud 'hsppiness
seems to be very general among
those who have lead ordinarily
good and natural lives, bat is by
no means universal. Those who
have led selfish or sensual lives. or
have given way to evil passions of
any kind, have different awaken
ing, into world of darkness or
gloom, often of solicitude for a
longer or shorter period and inf
nitely varied in the surroundings,
according to their previous lives.
But whatever germs of good are
in them are ultimately developed
through the kind ministrations Of
spirit helpers, and iheaceforth
progress toward a higher and hap
pier state, depending mainly on
themselves.

CASE TO STORY COURT.
Change of Venue Granted in Action
Brought by Sophia Mccoy.

Judge Bradshaw Friday morning
granted change of venue to the Story
county court, at Nevada, in the case of
Sophia Mccoy VS.. A. f. Nuese, which
was begun in the district court two or
three years ago. The change of venue
was granted on the application Of
Nuese's attorney, for the reason that
both Judge Bradshaw and Judge FAR
ker, before they were elevated to the
bench, were identified as attorneys IN
the estate of Fred Dannenbrink, which
is involved.
Sophia Mccoy Is a granddaughter OF
Dannenbrink's. who lived at Indian VII
lage. in Tama county. He was pos
sessed of an estate said to be worth
$4,000 He became insane, and Il
guardian was appointed Later Dan
nenbrink died, but the guardian was
never able to get possession OF much or
the property.
The suit which was brought against
Nuese who lives near Pickering, seeks
to recover from him, thru an account
ing, at least a part of Dannenbrink's
estate. The claim is made that he was
very intimate and on confidential
terms with Dannenbrink and that. act
ing on his advice. Dannenbrink In

The Annunciaphone.

Good morning. Have you used the
annunciaphone? No? Don't even
know what it is? Well, then, an ex-
PLANTATION is certainly due you. The
annunciaphone is a device for making
the telephone talk. The telephone is
growing ambitious. 1t is tired Of being
talked at Ever since Mr.. Bell invented
it and failed to provide it with ton
que of it's own, it has felt that 1t was
being imposed upon. Its position has
been like that of the politician who
Is merely someone else's mouthpiece,
or like that of the prosecuted listener
in the family circle. Even the most
patient Of such mortals sometimes
fairly chokes with the pent-up desire
to say something in his own behalf
Silence may be golden, but 1t does not
always pay interest on the effort that
it costs. The telephone knows all
this. Thru busy signals and shocks
and refusals to work 1t has voiced
Its protest as best 1t could. And it's
silent complaints have at last been
heard. 1t has found a friend. This
friend is j. f. Land of Detroit. Mr..
Land is a telephone doctor. For years
he has been known as an expert in his
particular line - the phone line, of
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-12-12

course. He some time ago determined
to supply the fatal defect in Mr..
Bells invention and to put the tele-
ephone on speaking terms with the
whole world. At last, after much pa
tient endeavor, he has succeeded. His
invention is a device by means of
which a man who is expecting a tel
ephone call and who is unable to wait
for 1t, can leave a message that the
telephone itself will deliver to the
person by whom the call is to be made.
And the apparatus will repeat the mes
sage, so that if the person does not
hear it the first time he can try again.
For instance: Mr.. Jones, an attorney,
expects call from woman client.
He fixes his annunciaphone to say:
Mrs. Smith, Mr.. Jones will call on
you at your home at S O'clock" sOf
course, if Mr.. Jones' wife happens to
call up the office before Mrs. Smith
calls, there may be complications, but
that Is always a possibility Wherever
the power of speech exists.

Causes Of Poor Light.

The study of illumination has not
only become an exact science in these
days of perfection in artificial lighting
but every householder is eagerly read
ing anything that will give him a
greater insight into this most difficult
study.
Many a poorly lighted room can be
easily remedied by changing the light
fixtures or repapering. 1t was form
erly the custom to blame the oil, or
the gas, or the electricity if there were
dark shadows in the room or If the
light failed to dispel the evening dark
ness. Now it has been proven that
these same rooms, be it at the home
or the office or the store, can be made
almost as light as day with even less
candle power than before, with little
study and planning.
wall paper which will "absorb"
light is the greatest enemy to, artit1-
cial light in the home. An illuEminant
is powerless to light a room if the
color of the walls absorb most the
rays. The Illuminating engineers of
the General Electric company claim
that white wall will reflect so per
cent of light, whereas a red wall paper
will reflect only Is per cent. A light
buff or yellow will reflect As per cent;
a dark brown about 1917 per cent A
light apple-green wall paper will re-
fleet 40 per cent; a dark green will
give us Is per cent. Dark wood trim
mings absorb light; white wood reflects
it. Velvets, chintzes, burlaps will also
absorb light; so will wall paper, what
ever it's color, but a tinted surface wall
reflects the light Wall paper in pat
terms is not only one of the greatest
of all known absorbers of light, but it
also has a bad effect on nerves and
eyes.
The palmer the wall paper the bet
tier for nerves and body, and the
smoother the surface the more light
it will reflect. In selecting wall paper
the way the room faces must also be
taken into consideration. Those rooms
facing north and east require lighter
colored papers than do rooms facing
south and west.
Care in the selection of tints and
wall paper will not only lead to a
better and cheaper artificial light but
will protect the eyesight, save the
nerves and tempers. 1t will enable all
to realize to the greatest degree the
many advantages of artificial light
from the electric current where many
are now using some inferior illuminant
because of an incorrect impression
that electric light is too expensive.

Iowa Central this week touched high

upward movement largely due to the

COLLEGE WANTS ROOSEVELT.
Rumor Says He May Head University
of Minnesota.


minneapolis. Mimi. Dec. 12.-Theo
dore Roosevelt for president of the
/ University of Minnesota. This is the
latest development in the university
| situation.
| Regents of the university are said to
have discussed the probability of Theo-
dore Roosevelt succeeding DR. Cyrus
Ncrthrop as president of the Minnesota
Institution. and an emissary of the
regents, 1t Is rumored, will be sent u
Washington to ascertain whether Presi-
dent Roosevelt would accept an offer.
That President Roosevelt would come
west at the completion of his African
trip to assume charge of the western
institution is not considered an i'm
probability.
Ii is said that The name of President
Roosevelt was brought up at the meet
ing of the regents on Tuesday last,
when the resignation of DR.. Cyrus
Northrop was presented to the regents.
The minutes of the meeting do not
show that the question of a successor
ito DR.. Northrop was discussed. but
the story goes that the discussion was
informal and kept secret among the
regents.
DR.. Northrop's resignation was not
accepted, and in case Mr.. Roosevelt
should come to the University of Min
nesota DR. Northrop would remain as
president for two years more. The men
back of the move to invite RooSeVett
to accept the Minnesota presidency are
said to point out that the task of di-
recting the policies of the University
of Minnesota during the next decade
will be one for which President Roose-
welt is peculiarly fitted and one To-
which he could apply himself with en-
thusiasm.
President Roosevelt has always loved
the west and has taken great interest
in the development Of the great univer-
stiles of the west He Is a personal
friend OF DR.. Northrop. and DIR. North
rop has been entertained by him IN
Washington. AS president of the Min
nesota institution, Mr.. Roosevelt would
have ample time to devote himself TO
literary and lecture work and at the
same time take an active hand In the
development of the west and the en-
couragement of educational work In
the west.
Rumors have connected the name OF
President Roosevelt with the presi-
dency of Harvard university, but his
friends have stated that Mr.. Roose-
Welt Is too much the radical and non
enough the trained educator to succeed
President Eliot.
