ed in the case of Lizzie Anderson VS..
DR.. A. John Droze. This is an action
for damages The plaintif is the wife

March the plaintiff by calling suffered
q fracture of the large bone of the
right wrist and DIR. Droze was called
to treat il. The plaintiff claims that
the defendant was called to and did
treat the fracture a number of times,
but that he negligently. carelessly and
unskillfully treated the same until
about the 25th day Of July, when she
was compelled to undergo a surgical
operation on said wrist, all on account
of the defendants negligent treat
ment of the same. That owning to
such negligent and unskillful treat
ment of said fracture by the defend-
ant the plaintiff suffered great pain
and mental anguish and claims that
she has been damaged in the sum Of
$500 Attorney D. w. Hamilton ap-
pears for the plaintiff and II. NJ. Eich-
er of Washington and ID. L. Stockman
are attorneys for the defendant.
Judge Willcockson who Is holding

The Mary Jane Akerrnan case which
was an action for the appointment OF
d guardian for Mrs. Akerman and
which case has been occupying the
attention of the court for the past two
days was on motion OF defendants at
torneys taken from the jury. Judge
Clements holding that there was not
sufficient evidence as to the mental
unsoundness of Mrs. Alderman, to
warrant submitting the case to the
jury.
The cause for the action was that

veyed all OF her property Willis n.
Brown, a local preacher and her rela- :
tives thought this was not right and
that Mrs. Akerman should be in the
possession of her own property. A con-

THE DEADLY SHOTGUN.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.-An item
all too commonly appears in the dis.
patches reading something like this.
--, son of our esteemed
toWnsman, -. died this morn
ing as the result of injuries received
While hunting rabbits.
Then follows the details. Two boys
WIN loaded guns on a hayrack, in q
wagon: anywhere; carelessness in the
mouse; loaded guns brought into the
'front.' yard TO be monkeyed with by IL
responsible fingers. The result is The
same. Somebody dies Of gunshhot
wounds accidentally received.
Every new snow is stained with
the blood OF the innocent and the
careless. The sale of gun licenses
shows how innumerable are the weap-
ons and the vast army of men and
boys who use them in Iowa. Today
VIII supply it's quota Of Yesterdays
deadly carelessness Someone was
killed yesterday. someone is being kill
ed today by shot gun in careless
hands
When will people learn that a gun is
very present danger; that death
lles IN its tubes ready to spring at the
touch OF the trigger? Yet we put in
Unite capacity to kill into the hands
OF children and others as careless and
ignorant as children and send them
out to slay and be slain.
There is not a scintilla of sense in
This Widespread killing that amounts
almost TO massacre. Ninety-nine out
OF 100 OF all the shotgun accidents
are avoidable by the exercise of ordi-
nary precaution. No boy should be
permitted to go afield until he has
been made thoroughly cognizant of
the possibilities of death he carries,
and not only knows how to handle a
gun, but knows and understands his
responsibility for other persons lives.
1t is all senaeless.
1t might be well to insist on prey
ious training and understanding be-
fore gun licenses issue. The fool at
large with loaded shotgun is as dan
gerous to human life as the inefficient
and incompetent stationary engineer

several polished crews will be ready
to man the racing craft on behalf
of their respective clubs.
Last week there were four races
over the Spar Buoy course, and of
these the Seniors won two and the
Freshmen the balance. All the
trials were very close things, and no
more than half boat length separ-
ated the crews at the finish.
The Freshmen are showing excel
lent form, and slight tendency
they had at first to roll when recov-
ering from the stroke has been elimi-
mated.
The Seniors In their last race
against the Freshmen maintained q
steady SO to the minute stroke, and
in their final squirt for the winning
post worked up to 40 for a while.
They have improved wonderfully.
and now use a crisp, clean stroke

The Rev William A. WATSON.
clergyman ofthe Episcopal Church, has
written an article entitled prohibition,
the Obstacle to Real Reform which
was published in the August PEAK
SONS MAGAZINE. Mr.. WATSON
thinks it clergyman's duty to speak
openly against any system which he be-
lieves to be source Of immortality and
crime. Some folks say it doesn't ''look
right to be against prohibition. Mr.
WATSON believes that no consideration
of mere expediency should deter cler-
gyman from doing his duty. He points
out that the object of the prohibition
law is to lessen liquor drinking and its
effect seems just the opposite. He says
that you cannot legislate virtue into
mems lives.

With trees, suggesting, however, that
only such should be planted as have

II. Hirot, civil engineer ana former
conductor of the bureau Of bridges and
highways, expresses himself as fol
lows on the subject:
an countries where the climate is
damp roadside trees are prejudicial to
the maintenance of the highways, as
they prevent the circulation of the air
and the drying of the soil. In most of
the southern French regions such plan
tdtl0ns are, on the other hand. very
useful in dry weather, as they main
tain the roatlbed in a state of fresh
ness favorable to its conservation. In
general. trees should be selected with
high spreading branches, such as the
poplar, the elm, the ash, and they
should be planted generally upon the
outer edge Of the roadboX and at dis
tances of 10 meters ta2.S0 feeO. Each
