TRIED TO cHLoRoFoRM FAMILY
Winfield Woman Under Arrest for
Atom pting Awful Crime.

/ ATOM pIlnS Awful
| Mt. Pleasant, July 10.-A dastardly
attempt to chloroform and then GRE
mate Mr.. and. Mrs. e. Levacy and their
| two small children near Winfield has
/ been laid at the door of Mrs. Levacy's
stepmother, prominent woman named
Mrs. j. W. Myers. The accused woman
was arrested on suspicion and held un-
de- bends of $4,000 to appear at a pre-
liminary hearing next Monday.
Shortly before midnight last night
MIR. Levacy was awakened in his up
stairs bedroom by smoke and on inves-
| LEGATION he found a box OF corncobs
burning on the lower floor. He hastily
extinguished the fire and then found
tina. his wife and two children were
very sick and that he was also suffer-
ing from some mysterious malady. DIR.
Harrison was called and he immediate
" detected the presence of chloroform
fumes. Upon investigation he found
that chloroform had been sprinkled
literally on the bed clothes and about
the sleeping rooms and other parts OF
the house.
1t was clear that some one had at
tempted to chloroforn the whole fam
lily and then burn the victims. Sus-
picion at once pointed to Mrs. Myers
as the perpetrator Of the awful crime.
She had been living with her step
daughter and her husband, but there
was bitter trouble between them and
this luminosity is given as the proba-
BILE motive OF the crime. Mrs. Myers is
a prominent woman and her arrest has
created a sensation. 1t is claimed for
her that IL she is guilty, she Is insane.
There have been evidences at times in
the mast that her mind Is unbalanced.

SEEKS HIGH X. P. HONOR.
c n. 6urIingame, Iowa Falls, candi-
date for Grand Master of Exchequer.


Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, July 10.-Formal an
nouncement was made today to the
four lodges of the knights of Pythias
in Iowa, of the candidacy Of Mr.. Clar-
ence Hodge Burlingame, Of this city,
Iowa. For several years. Mr.. Burlin-
game has been prominent member
of the grand lodge Of Iowa, and enjoys
wide acquaintance among members
of the order in Iowa, because of his
activity in grand lodge circles since he
became member OF that body in 1900.
He is the choice of the lodges of his
home county and district, and will
probably be accorded the high honor
that he seeks, in recognition of his long
and faithful service, not alone in the
grand lodge, but in the subordinate
lodges at Eldora and in this city. Mr..
Burlingame was knighted in Evergreen
lodge at Eldora, and became member
of Alpine lodge No. T. of this city, in
1898.
Mr. Burlingame is cashier of the
First National bank of 49, city, and
has served his home town in public
and private way so acceptably that the
trust reposed by the responsibility Of
the position to which he now aspires,
could not be placed in worthier hands.
For several years Mr. Burlingame was
a resident of Waterloo.

Dubuque, July 10.-The present
stage Of high water is interfering SER
io,rsly with industries all along the
Mississippi river, and Dubuque is
among the places which are being az
fected by the rise in the water,
On Thursday the Standard Lumber
Company was compelled to close down
It's mills, the high water making 1t inn
possible for logs to be secured IN
quantities necessary for the continu-
alton OF the work.
As the closing down of the mills
means the laying Off Of several hun
dred men, the matter Is quite a serious
one, as this is the busy season OF the
year, when operations are usually on
in full swing.
The Dubuque Boat and Boiler works
at the herbor have also been COM
PEELED to suspend work in certain de-
partments OF the industry, the high
water making 1t impossible for the
men to work on the boats which are
at present in course Of construction.
The lay-offs in both places, however.
are but temporary, and operations will
be Immediately resumed at the first
possible opportunity.

State Being Organized System
atically for Protection Of
Game and Fish
ORGANIZER MAKING IOWA TOUR
Society Formed at Dubuque to Have
Branches in All tho Larger Cities and
Towns Of lowa-objects Of the Or
sanixation Set Forth in Circular
Letter Being Sent Out.
Special to Times Republican.

Muscatine, July 1o.-Harry Bar.
meier, temporary secretary of the
Iowa Game and Fish Protective asso-
citation Is at the present time making
tour of the large cities in the state
endeayoring to increase the member
ship OF the new association and gather
data relative to the conditions thru
out the state. AT the present time he
is In Clinton and it Is thought that he
will visit in Muscatine after a short
stay In the tri-cities.
Some idea OF the intentions OF the
association can be gained from the
following circular letter which has
been sent out by Mr.. Barmeier:
Taking 1t Tor granted that you
are interested in the protection of
fish and game and that like all true
sportsmen you believe in the preser-
walton Of birds, game and fish by
reasonable and wholesome laws.
beg to interest you in forming a
much needed association and becom-
ing member thereof.
THE object OF this association Is:
First. To revise the present fish
and game laws to rid them OF their
which are so common
that 1t Is almost impossible to prose-
cute a vlolator Of these laws.
Second To secure the enactment
of resident hunters license, which
has been tried from time to time but
fell by the wayside, largely because
OF the fact that no concerted action
was taken. Iowa Is the only state In
the north without such license, con-
sequently the commission has no
other funds to work with except a
small appropriation.
Third. To secure the enactment
OF a river license for the netting of
coarse fish in our boundary waters
Such licenses are now in force in our
states with great salts
faction to all concerned.
.'F'ourth-To remove the fee system
Of compensation for deputies so that
officers. under bond, with
salaries, will carry the
OF the law, instead OF in
men who do not value the
intention Of such laws and will step
away from good Judgment in order to
obtain the SIS fee assessed In their IA
yor as informants in each conviction.
"Fifth--To secure the enactment OF
additional laws, such as a ferret law.
The taking OF rabbits by means OF fer
rets is inhuman prohibited by every
state in the union except Iowa. and
the many petitions that all parts OF the
state will deliver to the coming legisla-
ture will prove the general feeling
against that mode of hunting. I hope
that the crime of dynamiting, or kill
ing fish by means of explosives. VIII
be- made felony punishable by I'M
in the penitentiary; also
that interfering with, or resisting war
dens in making an arrest an offense
punishable At present our deputies
have not the proper authority to make
an arrest simply upon the strength OF
the commission they hold.
"Eixth--To hold bi-annual conven-
lions a date shortly before the meet
ngs of our legislature in order to OBJ
ain the enactment and enforcement OF
such laws as will benefit all parts of
Il. ,to%a
