KILLED WHILE
DUCK HUNTING
Frank Gillepsy Meets His Death
in skiff Near the Sec
ond Lock Yesterday
Afternoon.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT
Reached For the Shot Gun When
the Trigger Caught Upon
Seat and Gun Was
Discharged.
1T WAS AN ACCIDENT

Frank Gillespy of Des Moines, a
former Keokuk boy and son of Thos.
Gillespy. was instantly killed yester-
day afternoon shortly before o'clock
while duck hunting on the rapids oppo-
site the middle lock.
In reaching for his gun in a skiff
one of the hammers caught upon seat
IN the boat and the barrel was dis
charged almost the entire load striking
aim in the mouth and resulting in in
slant death.
At the time of the accident the
young man was visiting his aunt, Mrs.
Henry Weyand, Jr., who lives near
the lock and was out in the river in
skiff with boy named Davis who was
doing the rowing of the boat while
Gillespy did the shooting.
The young man was struck in the
left side of the mouth and received al
most the entire charge of the left bar
rel of the doubie-barelled shot gun.
While few stray shots struck his
chin and face. the greater part of the
charge entered his mouth, showing
taat the end of the gun was so close
to his mouth that the charge did not
have time to scatter.
The accident was not seen by the
Davis boy who was rowing the boat
and had his back turned, but the evil
dence points to the result as being that
Gillespy pulled the gun toward him
and one of the triggers brushed
against the seat and the gun was dis
charged.
A small silver of wood was broken
oc of the seat, showing where the
trigger had caught, causing the dis
charge.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

Despite the optimistic view generally
taken OF the world, the police records
in many States bear testimony 20 the
increase in drunkenness and robbery,
while as for honesty It Is getting so
scarce that It needs 10 be hunted up.
Drinking among business men has de-
creased. because II was found that brains
needed 20 be kept polished to meet keen
competition. but among salaried men
there is a serious amount OF II, and the
drinking habit Is responsible for much
idlencss.
When tho head OF a huge steel indus
try finds It necessary to insist upon So
briefly among his employees, smaller en-
terprises can hardly afford to be less
cautious. ! know a score OF places
where tho first Sign OF intemperance Is
the signal for departure. Nobody can
afford to hire inefficient workers, no
body can afford TO overlook the value
OF reliability, so only those who ere
most promising secure the prize In life,
and you can never persuade an unde-
sirable that he is responsible for his
failure In life
Habits are tough things 70 break, and
he who starts OFT with the fewest finds
q comparatively easy road. He will not
have TO adopt the methods Of a mover.
Of whom heard recently, who made his
trips between midnight and dawn 20
avoid the temptation OF open bar-rooms
That man. I understand. began life well
enough and. being ambitious and pains
taking he acquired a home and family

FIVE years he paid more than three-quar-
ters OF the Indebtedness, contracted the
drinking habit and lost all that lie had
paid for t. Years have elapsed since
then. years heavily streaked with lean
for his family, although the man has
worked hard. Now he is trying to shake
of his one bad habit. and he finds that
he has not the strength OF former years.

helper came upon a group OF idle men

That the danger from fires would be
greatly reduced If citizens would exercise

the assertion Of James ID Wood, super

Mr.. Wood says defective fues are tho
cause OF more than half the fires IN tho
District but that II chimneys are kept

difference. He added that by notifying
