TEARSFL- With
RECALL OF Death
TESTIMONY IN FEDERAL COURT
MOVES MRS. FLORENCE HAIR
PER TO WEEP.

The affection that binds sister to
brother was wildly demonstrated
this afternoon in the federal court,
when in the course of evidence the
tragic death Of Mrs. Florence A. Har-
per's brother was recalled. While her
half-brother, R. F.. Neuse, who is a
witness for the defendant, was giving
his evidence relative to the death Of
his brother, the tears came to the
gentle looking eyes of young Mrs.
Harper and despite her reluctance to
make visible her feelings she wept
bitterly throughout the evidence.
The Harper-Taylor controversy con-
tinues to occupy the attention Of
Judge Smith Mcpherson. The plain
tiff's evidence, which consisted only
of that given by Mrs. Harper and her
husband, Arthur Harper, was complet-
ed yesterday afternoon, and the de-
PENDANT began the introduction Of evil
dence at the opening Of the morning
session. J. c. Mabry of Abba, T. ]. Fee
of Centerville and w. G. Howell OF
Keokuk, all attorneys who have rep
resented the defendant Taylor in the
past, were examined, and the stand
this afternoon is being occupied by
r. F. Neuse, whose testimony deals
with the early life Of the plaintiff, her
actions toward her .step-mother and
the introduction of evidence tending
to show that she had been greatly ben
Gifted through the guardianship of
Mr.. Taylor instead of defrauded.
Sentences a Booteager.
The grand jury reported yesterday
afternoon and Immediately after 1T
was learned that Angelic canning was
, indicted for bootlegging. He entered a
plea OF guilty. He was sentenced to
500 fine and thirty days in Jail. True
bills were also returned against Bert
Payne and Thomas Darner, two Of
tumwa men who were arrested some
time ago by Deputy Marshal A. D.
Dunlap.

HOW TO DODGE THE HOUSE FLY

The season is approaching when the
blue-tailed fly will resume his. task of
making life uncomfortable for the
bald heads and the mosquito will sing
blithely as he sips nectar from the
veins of the unwary 1t is well that
the public should know that this pat
ernal government has not been Slack
in the duty of enlightening the peo-
pie as to the manners and habits OF
there summer visitors, in order that
the wicked may cease from troubling
and the weary be at rest. There is
hope for all if the people will only
drink from the fountain of knowledge.
After the government had become
convinced that blue-tailed flies actual
ly pestered bald heads, and That mo-
quitoes were active in season, steps
were taken to investigate the life
habits and eccentricities Of the fly and
theemosquito The object was to take
advantage of some intellectual in
trinity Of these animals, il possible,
and thus neutralize their power for
evil. The inquiries were directed by
scientific men, not only in this coun-
try, but in Europe, Asia and Africa,
doSloLCo ny Alilcl SoliSplo III va
ious foreign parts. The result of the
inquiries and experiments has been
published in bulletin.
Stripped of technicalities, the bun
letin's story tells of experiments
made with two piece of cloth, each a
yard square. One was white and the
other black They were SO placed as
to be free of access to all flies and
mosquitoes which cared to assist
science in the experiment. After
witnessing the evolutions of several
thousands of flies and a few myriads
Of mosquitoes, careful count was
made by the government experts, and
it was discovered that Of every 1000
flies 6f9 alighted on the square OF
black cloth and only 3S1 on the white
Of every 1000 mosquitoes TAT showed
a preference for the black cloth
while only 253 dallied with the white
After these figures had been summed
up, compared, correlated, co-ordinat
ed, tabulated, etc, they were publish
ed, with this deduction: If you wish
to dodge flies and mosquitoes, wear
| white clothes.
| Another branch of science has de
clared that black clothing concen
trates, co-ordinates and condenses
the suns rays, being, therefore, less
| desirable than white clothing in sum
mer. This adds force to the govern
ment's contention. But the question
here is the evasion of the flies ant
mosquitoes, not that of comfort il
dress. The government, in the bull
letin referred to told everybody jus
what to do, and it is their own faul
if they don't do it. The most paterna
of governments cannot force people t
profit by its advice. 1t goes out ant
gets the information, regardless Of eS
4 pense, but it is asking too much to re
/ quire it to take every bald-headed maj
by the nape of the neck and fore,
4 him to throw away his black skull
cap. The government cannot do every
thing. The people must do som
things for themselves. Washingto

One of the most interesting and ex-

occurred yesterday afternoon when
the Democrats scored each other and
their party leaders
Clark, OF Florida, called attention to
the memorials of the Florida legisla-
ture, asking for duty on long staple
cotton and citrus fruits, etc. Il am in
structed in that regard" he exclaimed.
"and no hawkers and opinionated
Democrats can make me violate the

MED that any populism was contained
in his record. did you intend for the

! The Michigan State Fair has ar
ranged for an airship race between
| Roy Knabenshue. who is known all
! over the continent for his daring work
/ above the clouds, and Lincoln Beach
/ ely, another equally famous aviator,
/ who made successful flights at the
\ Michigan State Fair last fall This
race was brought about in rather
strange manner.
Mr. Beachey happened to be in the
city early this week and in a CONVEX
sation with General Superintendent
/ Doherty the latter casually said:
"Beachey, would you race Roy Kna-
benshue if the Michigan State Fair
offered a purse of $4,000, $4,000 to go
to the winner and $1,000 to the loser?"
Make the offer and see," responded
Beachey.
"All right, well do it," said Mr.
Doherty.
You can't challenge Knsbenshue
too quickly for me-" replied Beachey.
Mr.. Doherty Immediately wired
KnabenshUe at Toledo, and the latter
responded so quickly that even Mr.
Doherty was surprised.
Tell Beachey I will race him at the
Michigan State Fair or around the
world If he wants to-, Knabenshue re-
sponded.
The latter was then called TO De-
troit, and after discussing the preImI.
inaries the contract was signed for the
most exciting race that has ever been
he'd in the United States
Other airship races have been
planned, but none like that arraneed

held in S. Louis, but the aylators did

ship he sailed so successfully last win

jected because his ship is not of the

finally declared that he would build a
new ship similar TO that owned by
Beachey. That settled all difficulty

LOW RATES FOR STATE FAIR.
Michigan Passenger Association De-
cides TO Sell Tickets to Detroit for
One and Cne-HaIf Fare, Round


The Michigan Passenger Associ.
alton, which passes on the matter of
granting special rates over railroads
has decided this year TO give a rate
to the Michigan State Fair, which
opens in Detroit on September . and
continues until September 10, of one
and one-half fare for the round trip,
from any given point in the state. This
rate will be good all through the ex-
hibition, and the tickets thus pur-
chased may be used on returning as
late as September II.
The railroads, through this conces-
sion, will aid largely in swelling the
crowds at the state fair and making it
one of the greatest successes in the
history of Michigan.
The management of the State Fair
is now hard at work perfecting plans
and arranging for the big fall event.
Concessions are still being booked
and some of the finest attractions to
be secured will be seen at this fair.
There seems TO be a strife on among
the majority OF states this year to
make the annual exhibits more inter-
esting and attractive than usual.
Michigan has absorbed the same spirit
and by the aid Of enthusiastic officials,
the event in Detroit will be worth
travelling the entire length OF Michi-
gan TO witness.
With cheap passenger rates and lib
eral shipping facilities for exhibitors,
the management Of the Michigan
State Fair is planning for a great dis
play the coming fall. 1t is suggested
that persons who contemplate trip
this summer, defer such pleasure until
fair week, take advantage of the low
railroad rates and attend the big ex-
hibit
