TOOK CARBoLIC ACID
George HeIlister, Farmer, Living Near Ute,
Mistook It for Medicine

Mapleton Press: George Hollister.
farmer living four miles north Of Ute,
went to the cupboard one day last
week to get some medicine that he
had previously procured from doctor
for stomach trouble, and got hold Of q
bottle of carbolic acid by mistake.
He took mouthful direct from the
bottle. and swallowed il. He i'm
mediately found his mistake, and went
at once to the telephone to call doc
tor. but could not get anyone. He
was alone in his house but q neighbor
came along tine road. and he signaled
for assistance. The neighbor gave
him quantity of cream to drink, and
also called the doctor by telephone.
The physician made the run of four
and quarter miles with his auto in
six minutes, and found Mr.. Hollister
unconscious, but the application of q
stomach pump saved his life It was
twenty minutes from the time he
drank the acid until he was pumped
out. He is suffering greatly from the
burning of acid. but will get we'll.

Great Revival Season.

Arrangements have been completed
by which the services of Rev. Ostrom,
one of the greatest evangelists of
America, have been secured for a
series of meetings in Denison during
September. Rev. Ostrom is accom-
panied by the singing evangelist. Mr..
Hillas, and he has with him a pianist
also. Four Denison churches have
united in extending the call to Rev.
Ostrom. The Presbyterian. Baptist.
Methodist and German Methodist
churches having Joined together for
the purpose. A guarantee fund of
$3.50 per week has been pledged by the
churches to defray travelling ex-
Epenses, hotel bills and wages for Rev.
Ostrom's helpers. The pay received
BY the evangelist depends entirely up
on the free will Offering given him at
the close of the meetings. It is q
long time since Denison has expert
enced q genuine religious revival. That
it would purify the community none
can deny. Let us hupe that the
churches and the revivalist will meet
with encouragement and SUGGEST 8.

Some Hot Weather Facts
To late for last week

The fast mail. No. Is was twenty
four hours late on Saturday last, the
track between Denison and Vail being
melted for distance Of about three
hundred yards. A force of Greek
laborers were rushed to the scene and
the Nicholson Ice Plant was worked
night and day, until on Sunday the
track was frozen into condition for
traffic. The rails between here and
Arion have been kept packed in ice
for the past week. Dow City IS such
a hot town that an ice brine has to be
used inside the city limits. The fire.
man on Number Four Sunday p. m.
reports that the coal melted between
here and Dunlap and that he was able
to feed the furnace with hose. He
says this was snap until the smell
OF the burning rubber from the hose
drove both him and the engineer back
to the caboose for breath Of fresh
air. The section men have made
good thing of it lately cutting up the
molten sand into window squares
where glass has been formed along the
right of way. While going to Schles-
wig on Sunday afternoon Mr.. Boylan
met with curious mishap which may
after all rebound to the benefit of
mankind. He was in his E. M. f.
car and was going about eighty five
miles an hour. Gradually he noticed
that the car seemed to lower and he
finally became aware that the tires
had melted, spreading thin layer or
coating of rubber along the road.
While in Schleswig there was heavy
shower but by following the rubber
coated track Of the auto on it's former
trip he was able to reach Denison
without getting into the mud and in
record time, making the run of thir
teen miles in four minutes and seven
ty-two seconds. Mr.. Boylan is quite
an enthusiast as to the new paving
material and is preparing paper on
the Rubber Road to be read at the
next meeting of the Amateur Aseocia
ton of Automobile Longnecks.

The BLUE AND THE GRAY.

Mason City Globe Gazette: Gener-
al Nevius, commander in-chief of the
Grand Army. hit the nail squarely on
the head in his address concerning q
reunion Of the Blue and the Gray. It
10 the STURDY kind Of patriotism that
ought to take root sure and determined
in all sections Of the country. The
union veteran is glad to hold reunion
with his enemy Of 1876 ON the
basis Of q united country and the one
object Of preserving the govern
ment, but the confederate flag ought
to be relocated forever and 1t that
emblem Of treason is to be displayed
Nv the men who fought under it. there
should never be any Of these re-
unions.
General Nevius sensiply says:

times during the past year and have
received many communications from
members OF the Grand Army OF the
Republic and our late opponents.
United Confederate Veterans, in re-
lation to reunions Of the two organi-
Actions; the erection of twin monu-
ments upon the battlefields; union
services upon Memorial day. and
other matters Of like kind.
I did not hesitate AZ the repre-
sentative Of the Grand Army OF the
Republic in objecting to twin monu-
ments upon the battlefields. the one
to the blue and the other to the
gray. In all other matters of this
character have suggested and re-
commended that questions of this
kind should be submitted to the Grand
Army of the Republic at it's encamp-
ments by way Of resolutions or other
wise.

SAYS CROP Will Be SHORT.

Boone County Democrat: We trav-
eled over goodly portion Of the north
ern half Of the state the past two
weeks and we unhesitatingly say to
our readers that the crop outlook for
Iowa this year, is not very fiattering.
About month ago we said PRACTICAL
~ the same thing, but some called
US pessimist and told US to wait until
August and see the best crop Iowa
ever had. We have waited and have
taken this trip but have seen no real
reason to change our former opinion.
In the first place the acreage of waste
ground in the state is greater than it
has been in many years. thousands Of
acres not having thing on them.
Much more Of the ground was so wet
that the corn was plowed but once and
is all weeds and will make only very
poor fodder at the best. Now the
corn that was we'll taken care Of and
looked good the middle of July is
suffering badly for rain and will not
make good crop. Corn that does
not get plenty Of rain during the
period Of caring out will not make
good corn, Chapel, or any other
government prognosticator. to the con-
trary notwithstanding. These govern
ment guessers are too strongly in
fluenced by grain trust and manipula-
tors to make it appear that the crops
are extremely large throughout the
country and thus enable them to force
prices down until they can gobble up
a good portion Of the crop at low
price and make big speculation on
it. The oat crop, while splendid in
quality. is the smallest in quantity it
has been in years, yet month ago
oats were selling on the market for so
cents bushel, now tn. price for the
new crop has been forced down to 80
cents by the same process of manipu-
lation. The manipulators have been
assisted in doing this by the govern
ment guessers and we are sorry to
say. by few foolish farmers in.
brsgging about their big crops.
Potatoes and pastures are also suffer-
ing greatly for rain.
Charter Oak Times: 1t looks as
though the city council Of Mapleton
was doing things worth watching.
1t is posting its proceedings in an OBJ
scure place at the city hall. instead of
publishing them SO the people can see
plainly what is being done: and when
q council or any other public body does
such things it looks bad. They may
be all right. but appearances are not
with them. N. B. In Denison the
council does not even post it's pro-
ceedinga let alone publishing them.

Uncle Ezra q job writing an article
for Pearson's. Last week he assured
US that as soon as Hearst found the
Twiner's little Brisbane squib Bris-
bane would be minus job and your
Uncle Ezra would have another showed

kindly call the attention Of Pearson

LONDON, Dec. 2-Perhaps there is
no more abused class Of men in the
ing the title Of duke. They have suf-
fered so much from the attacks made
upon them in parliament that the title,
formerly regarded by some people with
something bordering upon awe has de-
generated into a term of reproach in
the eyes of a considerable number of
the lieges of King Edward. This is not

the savage attack made upon them by
two members of the present Asquith
administration who are more than any
others identified with the revolutionary
system of financial legislation to
which the liberal government is COM
mitted. These two members are David
Lloyd George and Winston Churchill.
With the object of creating a wave
of popular indignation against the
dukes, sufficiently strong to over
whelm all opposition by the house of
lords to the new budget, there is no
accusation that the chancellor of the
exchequer and the president of the
board of trade have not laid at the
door Of the dukes 'Blackmailers,"
"blood-suckers," "dilapidated," was
trels,' whining" "extortionate," "land-
rackers," "oppressors,' omnibus
drivers" and "jects" have been among
the least offensive epithets applied by
these two ministers of the crown from
the platform to these peers of the realm
who by reason of their rank are des-
ignated in all official documents as the
right trusty and right entirely be-
loved cousins of the sovereign" And
only the other day Lloyd George de-
clared during the course of a public
speech that it "cost just as much to
keep one duke as it did to maintain
a couple of Dreadnoughts,' and that
the duke was suite as great terror.

The leading art experts of London
are making some spirited bids against
agents of American art dealers at the
Polovstoff sale in the Sale Petit, Paris
today, while Frenchmen are hoping
that the famous series of four panels
from the Beauvais mandatory which
are the chief treasure of the collection
will be preserved to France. It is said
that the American bidders have almost
unlimited means back of them and will
carry prices to unprecedented heights.
So much has been written about the
Polovstoff collection that little need
be said in addition except that besides
the tapestries there are some magnifi-
cent specimens of antique furniture,
glassware and jewels.

December 2.

Ohio is called the state that pro-
duces presidents, but just now one OF
it's native sons very much in the pub
lie eye, knows as little about states
manship, perhaps, as does Mr.. Taft's
spook antics and ghost walks. The
subject of this sketch, Professor James
Harvey Hyslop, is perhaps the fore
most goblin grabber on this side of the
water and his Investigations into the
performances Of Eusapia Paladna have
silenced to closet whispers, in COMPARE
son, the noise made over the sugar
trust steals, the Peary-Cook contro-
versy and other big discussions. Prof.
Hyslop is only SO years old, but he
has crowded no end of interesting
events into his life. He is a native of
Xenia, Ohio, and graduated from
Wooster college. Before he landed at
Columbia university, New York, he
taught in half dozen or more small
Ter colleges, which are now proud Of
referring to the fact that Hyslop was
at one time a member of their faculty.
His work in trying to discover what
grain of truth may underlie the vari-
Gus stories of occultism has made him

and freely admits that lots of things
go on that he hasn't got the key 70.
But he is still hunting for it, and one
of these days hopes to get the com

spend the night in haunted houses, and
the latch string always hangs out for

She might have been-indeed. from

But she chose to- follow the line of

Many people follow the line of least
resistance in friendship-get what sat-
isfaction they can from the people with
whom they chance to be thrown the
most instead of hardly fostering, de-
spite Inconvenience and distance, the
beautiful intercourse with those few
in whom they have found real congen-
iality.
In the same way, think, many peo-
pie follow the line of least resistance
in marrying-not only women, who, to
a certain degree, can't help it, but also
men, who can.
1t may not always be wrong to fol-
low the line of least resistance, be-
cause it may not always mean harm"
ing yourself or anyone else.
But it is always foolish, because it
does always mean depriving yourself
of some ultimate happiness that you
might have had.
And, on second thought, since ii is
the duty of all of us to get as much
happiness out of life as is compatible
with our duty to others, I guess, after
all, it is wicked.
