sternoon. The officials were chosen
by Manager Pechstein after the most
careful consideration possible and his
selections are good. The work OF
pulling off meet Of such proportions
as the meet Saturday requires men OF
ability and knowledge of track affairs.
With the above officials the events

There has been talk concerning the
probability of running the men in

thought has almost been disposed OF

The lanes willbe used in the 220-yard

which is the only straight-away.
The grounds are hardening and the
track should be tightening fast. Rec
ords should be established in several
events and many seem to favor Iowa

Was the Cause of the Death Last
Evening Of George J. Neyens
at the Hospital at
Mount Pleasant.
BRICK FROM THE CHURCH
During the Erection Of st. Peters
Church, the Accident Hap
pened Which Was Cause
Of Death.

AS the result Of an accident which
happened over 81 years ago. George
j. Neyens, well known citizen of
keokuk died last evening at 6 o'clock,
at the hospital at Mount Pleasant.
The accident which was the result
OF his death, happened on November
10, 1881, during the building of st.
Peters church on the corner of Ninth
and Bank streets, when brick fell
from the top of the wall as it was
being erected and struck Mr.. Neyens
upon the head.
The result was that he was par
alyzed upon one side and until his
death last evening, he suffered from
the accident, although able to get
around.
In 1897 he started a grocery store
on the corner of Fifteenth and Carroll
streets and conducted the same up UNI
til eight months ago, when the injury
became aggravated and he went to
the hospital for treatment, passing
away at that place.
The remains will arrive in the city
this evening and the funeral is to be
held on Thursday morning at 900
o'clock from ST. Peters Catholic
church of which the deceased was a
member.

FLYING SQUIRRELS RARE
Once They Were Common In the New
York Woods

rOTk WOODS.
Several flying squirrels were seen
In the woods In the central part of
this town the other day says the Den
mark correspondent of the Utica OBJ
server. They are not very common
and few of them are seen in this sec
ton, although SO or 40 years ago near
ly every old hollow birch tree had it's
family of little striped air navigators
The flying squirrel, be 1t explained
for the benefit of the many who have
undoubtedly never seen one, does not
'lly' In the proper acceptance OF the
word, but is able by spreading the
weblike strips OF thin skin that ex-
tend from its fore to it's hind legs on
either side OF it's body to sail several
rods on gradually downward slant
from the top OF one tree to a point
lower down on the limbs or trunk of
another. Then by running higher up
the tree it has alighted on 1t is eble
to repeat the performance and thus
avoid its enemies by sailing from tree
to tree.
These squirrels were once numerous
in northern New York. but like their
klnsman. the black squirrel and the
ioX-squirrel, have all but vanished
from the northern woodlands.

The Greatest CRATER

People do not generally understand
why it is that no nation wants Castro
on its soil and why the whole civiliz-
ed world holds him in such derision.
1t is because he Is the greatest graft
er of the age. That is the secret of
all his infirmities and the starting
point of all his quarrels. He gouged
every enterprise that ever started up
in Venezuela, whether it was native
or foreign born. He began as presi-
dent of Venezuela poor man, and by
using the power that the office gave
him, in five or six years. he raked in
twelve million dollars. This graft was
really the beginning of his quarrels
with other nations. 1t was what dis
turbed his friendly relations with this
country; also with Holland. Germany
and France. His ostracism is the
opinion OF civilization of the CRATER.
His selflshness destroyed him. What
he has lost is more than he STOLE

India has been British possession

Morley, secretary of state for the
Asiatic empire, appointed a Hindoo
lawyer a member of the council which
with the viceroy, forms the supreme
government for India. This is the
first time since the foundation of the
British empire in India that the SUI
preme authority has passed from ex-
clusively British hands. The Philip
pines have been United States pos
session for less than eleven years. The
government of the islands is entrusted
to q governor general and seven COM
missioners (four Americans and three

wholly Of Filipinos. The complete in
dependence of the islands is believed
to be a matter of comparatively few
years.

The possibility that the world may
hereafter be less dependent than it
has been hitherto on the Bohemian
deposits of pitchblende is one OF the
reasons for rejoicing over the dis.
covery in Cornwall, observes the New
York Tribune The use of radium
for curative and other purposes has
been sadly hampered by the scarcity
and high price of this wonderful
product. The establishment of new
works for its manufacture may well
be attended with several happy re-
suits. There is promise not only of
an increased supply. but also Of lower
quotations. Possibly a way may be
found to simplify the process of sepa.
ration and materially lessen It's cost.
A fresh stimulus will undoubtedly be
given too, to the study of methods of
utilizing minerals which contain ra
dunn in microscopic quantities, and
to the search for yet undiscovered de
posits.
