Drainage bitches Make Good.


According to the report of Engineer Seth
Dean at the meeting yesterday OF the
Notwithstanding joint drainage
their efficiency during the recent heavy
rains and attendant flood conditions.
There was. however, considerable damage
to crops in the fields from the rainfall
which because of the high stage OF the
Missouri river could not be drained.
Two small breaks were reported by Mr..
Dean in the levees along the Willow
creek ditch but these could be easily re-
paired. The Willow creek ditch carried
practically all the water that flowed into
It, declared M. ID an in his report re-
garding tho sit e. thl' ditch. tn contrac-
tor Mr.. Dean rcpcr cd had not yet re-
moved it and the board decided to take
the matter in hand II will meet July
% in Missouri Valley and look the ground
over. In the event that the Western
Dredging company which has the con-
tract for this ditch fails to remove the
sediment, the board will take steps TO
have the work done and deduct the cost
from balance due the firm.
1t was decided to construct a levee along
the south side Of the Boyer river channel
at the head OF Cutoff No. l, as soon as
the right OF way SHOULD be obtained.
The supervisors of Pottawattamle county
at the close Of the joint meeting held a
short session at which thirteen saloon
licenses were ordered refunded and some
minor matters attended to. The board ad-
journed to August 10 at which time some
local drainage matters will be attended to.

YOUNG BALLooNIST is HURT
Struck Head on Brick Building as
Balloon Rises and May

BOONE, Ia, July 2o-(special)-Word
was received in this city yesterday of an
accident which will be fatal, that has be-
fallen Roy e. Eye, of this city, a bal
loonist, now travelling with Clifford Bros.
big carnival attractions. The accident
happened in Sibley, la. His death is ex-
pected an any moment, as his fall from a
great height caused many serious injuries.
Eye was making a balloon ascension, his
scheduled time being 6 o'clock, the bal
loon had been strung up next to the
two story city hall building, which the
unfortunate young man struck in falling
from the balloon. He went up with the
balloon by the usual hand hold, throwing
his feet up TO make the ascent head down
ward. In doing this he lost his ankle hold
and not having his usual safety rope, fell,
striking the city hall building a ~glancing
blow, about five feet from the top of the
structure. When he lost his hold on the
balloon, the bag was 100 feet in the ali
and soaring rapidly. One Of his arms
three ribs and his nose are broken and his
head is badly bruised.

and mechanics finally gave up the search
for them and prepared for an early morn
ing absorption OF information tomorrow be-
fore the start.
Today's running time for the 1885 miles
was 1857. A quiet tip had gone forth that
the roads in places were exeorable. AS a
consequence every man started to make up
time from the minute he checked out. The
result was that the first cars in, he
Pierce-Arrow and Marmon, were over an
hour ahead of their schedule, the route
producing few OF the terrors predicted for
1t. Some humpy going. with now and then
a bad chuckhole were found from Elmore
in, a distance Of eighty-four miles. Almost
every company interested in the tour has
received reports from scouts along the
route to Council Bluffs tomorrow, and all
are keeping their Information secret. AS a
consequence every driver suspects some
other driver OF knowing more of the route
than he does. The indications are that on
this account the cars will be herded to-
gether on the road like sheep, every man
scorching when every other man does, and
all slowing up when the leaders do, on the

HIMSELF TO BEAM
Body of Unidentified Man Found nj
Snnd pit.

Body Of Unidentified Man Found at
snnd Pit.
The body Of an unidentified man was
found yesterday afternoon suspended from
a beam under the loading platform in the
wickham sand pit, near the upper end of
Big lake, about two and a half miles
north of the city.
The discovery was made by w r. Moon,
Of 24 South Twentieth street, Omaha, who
went to Big lake on a fishing trip. At
noon Moon sought shade from the heat
Of the sun under the platform, and to eat
his lunch. After settling himself In a
comfortable position and spreading his
lunch on a paper in front OF him, Moon
noticed an offensive odor. He decided to
investigate before partaking of his lunch
con, and, making his way back under the
platform, discovered the body OF the man
hanging from n beam. Decomposition had
set in and the body was discolored and
bloated.
The team from which the body was sus-
pended was only about four feet from the
ground. and the suicide had evidently
%strangled to death, as the knees were al
most touching the earth. The body, which
was in a crouching position, was suspended
by a small cord such as is used to wrap
heavy packages. The cord with a slip
knot had been tied around the neck.
The discovery took away Moons appe-
tite for any lunch. and he FASTENED to the
cottage Of Caretaker Riddle, at the lake.
Riddle at once notified the police, who In
turn notified Coroner Treynor.
The body was removed to Cutters I'M
dertaking establishment. Search Of the
clothing failed to reveal anything which
would give a clew to the Identity of the
suicide. The dead man was apparently
about 45 years OF age and had the APP
pearance of a tramp. The clothing con-
sisted of blue overalls, considerably worn,
a black sateen shirt, dark vest and coat
and a black hat. The man had a heavy
sandy moustache and several lays growth
Of beard. He was about six feet in height
and of heavy build. Coroner Treynor ex-
pressed the opinion that the body had
been hanging at least two days.

School Fight
at CreSton Ends
Resignation Of Principal velin Marks
End Of Long fractional
Struggle.

CRESTON, Ia, July ~2O-CSpecial Tele-
gram TIL resignation Of Principal J. I.
velin OF the Creston high school today
ends one OF the longest and bitterest fights
in the history Of the city schools. Trouble
arising over athletics and other student
activities, several years ago led to a strike
which evolved nearly every student in the
high school and lasted fer nearly two
weeks. Many Of the citizens backed the
students and a number Of the faculty even
took sides with them against Principal
velin and former superintendent o. f.
French who resigned some time ago as the
result of i'll feeling which also resulted In
his defeat for the office OF county super
intendent. Constant strife has marked the
past few years at the high school, mum
erous minor outbreaks having occurred.
Mr.. Veins action came entirely as a sur
prise. He will accept a position in the
schools at Cheyenne, Wyo.

You Are Fat and
Hot Read This Article

There is no necessity of fat people suf-
fering as they do. Most fat people are so
good-natured they do not care how they
look or how they get along during the hot
weather. As a matter Of fact there is a
natural fat reducer that in the past sew
eral years has been demonstrating that It
will reduce fat and not tear down the body
or leave big, flabby rolls of skin and
wrinkles. This method is the famous Mar
mola prescription, which is now prepared in
tablet form to meet the demands of fat
people in the summer and 10 enable them
at all times to take their fat reducer after
each meal. One of these little tablets
taken after a meal turns this meal into
good food for the blood and stops all fat
producing Elements from going into the
system. Marmola Tablets has an army
Of men and women who testify TO its sue
cess, and you would tire reading what they
say OF It's triumph. Marmola tablets not

injured in a runaway accident while on
the way home with John Alstrope, a young
farmer living northeast of town. When
about two miles north of Tabor the team
became unmanageable and ran away,
throwing both man and boy out. The
latter landed on his head and has been
in more or less of a comRtose condition
alternating with severe commissions ever

today. His mother was called home from

for some months. Mr.. Aistrope escaped

Power to Raise Rates.
Railroad lawyers this afternoon submit
ted briefs and arguments to prove that
the railroad commission has authority to
raise railroad rates. The claim that the
commission did not have such authority
was raised by the shippers who claimed
1t could only lower the rates. The ques-
ton will probably be submitted TO the
attorney general. At the hearings today
the commission continued the petition OF
the manufacturers to cut out the require
ments as to crates for buggies and speci-
flying that IL not properly Grated they
should take a higher classification to give
the manufacturers "a chance to submit
something more definite. The railroads
argued their petition for abrogation Of the
order requiring the small car charge wher
a small car is ordered and a large car
sent claiming there are nothing but large
cars used now.
