scented to Governor on Dedication
of Memorial Monument.

AS the result of the visit of Cover
nor Carroll to the dedication of the
monument on the battlefield of White
Stone Hills, near Morango, N. d., the
Iowa Historical department will be en-
riched with some relics of that battle.
One of the most interesting is an old
boot worn by one of the Iowa soldiers,
who was killed in that battle. The
boot, although buried for forty-six
years, is in a good state of preserva-
ton.
During tae course of his address
Governor Carroll called on all those
in the crowd who were from Iowa to
raise their hands and over So per cent
of the crowd did so. Eliminating the
Russians in the crowd fully 70 per
cent were from Iowa.
The monument is surrounded by the
twenty-three graves and of this num-

killed on that field shows that they

NOT TO GET REPORT
OF PELLAGARA CASE
Law Does Not Require Report to State
Board Of HeaIth-Marengo
Case First in State.

Considerable inquiry has been made
as to whether or not the state board of
health will take any action in refer
ence to the discovery of a case of pell-
agara at Marengo, Iowa. Inquiry at the
office of the state boar, of health re-
veals the fact that pellagara is not a
reportable disease, that is, it is not
such disease as the law requires To-
cal boards of health to report to the
state board Under these circum-
stances tae local board and physicians
at Marengo will have to combat the
disease as best they can.
Pellagara is disease common
among the peasants of northern Italy,
Gascony, Roumania and Corfu and is
caused by eating maize that is affected
with parasitic fungus. 1t commences
by the appearance Of shining red spots
on some part of the body, the skin be-
comes dry and cracks, and the epider-
mis- falls off in waite bran-like scales,
leaving the shining redness.
The disease is practically unknown
in America and the case at Marengo
is the first that has even been reported
in Iowa.

Pay As You Go.
If You Don't Live Right You

There are certain things which men
do which are thought to be harmful.
There are excuses of feeding, and
drinking, and dressing, and playing.
You may not believe you are paying as
you go-paying in loss of health-but
you are and soon your cheeks fade
and your bright eyes are dull, your
sweet breath of youth is tainted, your
soft, smooth skin, rough and dry. Ma
ture is collecting her due-you are pay
ing as you go.
Take account of yourself. Live right,
breath right. think right, eat right.
You owe it to yourself and the world
to do your work with your utmost
capacity. You can't do it on or with

Rockford, June Gold Aaron Evans
has been up to some of his cussedness
again." is the word that was passed
around yesterday. Evans is an old
soldier, a widower and troublesome.
He is crazy to have a woman to live
with him. No one who knows him
cares to marry him, so he keeps Wild
ows and old maids and even matri-
monial bureau stock around on trial
most of the time. Last week he sent
Il ticket to Chicago for a woman to
use for passage to Rockford with the
promise that he would make her a
home if she would do the right thing
by him. But Aaron got the wrong
pig by the ear this time.
When the woman had been with him
for u week he politely told her that
her services would be no longer needed.
The woman did not think So Aaron
lives three miles out in the country
but his lady found her way to town
and proceeded to make things lively

ness in both banks for a couple of
hours or more. Then she Went over to
see the Methodist minister.
Aaron is one of the old "standbys"
in the Methodist church and he gave
the ministers name for reference. AZ
ter she had worked on the sympathies
of the minister for a few hours she
hied herself to Attorney Moore's office.
Moore appreciates a good joke and he
saw some fun at a glance. He adj
vised her to go back and refuse to va
cate That was a new one to her but
with the assurance of the attorney
that Aaron would not dare to throw
back she went. Then there was time,
and later old Aaron, the woman, bank
clerks and the preacher all got mixed
up in a bunch in the attorneys office.
No one knows just everything that was
said and done. The upshot of the
fracas. however, was that Aaron agreed
to allow the parson to settle the case
and to abide by the decision, what
ever it might be- The woman was
like minded. After another conference

FUNSTON FIGHTS WITH THIEF.
Several Shots Are Exchanged When

Frederick Funston, commandant of the

Everything connected with the af-

Gen. Funston was asked about it.
The general said white man, an
parently a sneak thief, entered his
home and hid in closet opening into
his bedroom. Gen. Funston did not
go to bed until after midnight and re-
manned awake some time
Funston noticed the closet door on

appear. He reached for a. revolver nm
der a pillow of the bed and the burglar
noticing this fired at him. The bullet
missed Gen. Funston, went thru the
bed mattress and lodged in the floor of
the room
Gen. Funston fired three times at the
burglar as he ran from the room. So
far as can be learned none of the shots
hit the thief. All of them We're located
at places in the wall.
