Senator Saunders Predicts That
Iowa Will Adopt System Of

LOCAL JEALouslEs AN OBSTACLE

Only Be Accomplished Thru State
Highway Commission, Which Could

Other News of Iowa.
Special TO rimes-Republican.

Council Bluffs. Jan. S.-Before leav-
ing for Des Moines for the session of
the assembly, committee from the
commercial club met with Senator c.
G.. Saunders, for the purpose of secur-
ing his efforts in urging good roads
legislation at the coming session. The
lation providing for the construction OF
several state roads across Iowa east
and west, the routes to be selected
along the lines of greatest travel The
suggestion contemplated gravel as the
principal material for these trunk
roads, instead OF macadam, the latter
material being reported as too eXpen-
sive, and also open to other objections.
Macadam roads in the vicinity of ON
aha have proven to be exceedingly
dusty after much travel. which is one
of the objections made.
1t is contemplated that the construc-
ton of trunk lines across the state
would be the beginning of system of
state highways over the entire state. In
talking of such legislation, Senator
Saunders said:
I'VE will ultimately have a system of
highway Improvement In Iowa, but
whether 1t will come this year, / can
not predict. Senator McManus. of Lee
county, had a bill before the legislature
last session, which / regarded as very
good measure, but the stuffing was lit
orally kicked out of it." Local jealous
les are regarded by the senator as the
biggest obstacle to be overcome before
such legislation can be enacted and
carried out. Il believe that this work
can only be accomplished thru a state
highway commission, which could form
a comprehensive plan of work"

SWALLOWS HIS TEETH
Express Messenger May Die as Result
Of Unusual Accident Swallows
False Teeth While Asleep - Sur
icons Puzzled.

Sioux City, Jan. S.-For more than
pital at Cherokee have been trying to
locate three false teeth swallowed by
Harry Pratt an express messenger on
the Illinois Central railroad, while he
was asleep in his car near. Onawa
Iowa, Monday night.
Pratt lay down for a nap and awoke
in fearful agony. AT first he could not
account for the sudden Illness, but
when he missed his teeth, the mystery
was explained.
He was hurried%to the Cherokee hos
1pital, where surgeons are puzzled over
the peculiar mishap. They thought II
almost impossible for a man to swallow
three false teeth, plate and all, but
when 1t was remembered that when a
person Is sleeping the muscles relax
making it possible for larger objects 10
pass thru the throat than Is possible
when awake, the puzzle was solved.
All efforts on the part of surgeons 20
locate the teeth have been futile
Thorough examinations have been
made and 1T is said by the surgeons
that the teeth are not in the stomach
but they fear they have reached the in
testines.
An operation was performed late last
night in an effort to relieve Pratt, out
it was unsuccessful, no trace of the
teeth being found. His condition today
was highly critical.
About ten years ago Harry Pratt was
in the Sioux City office of the Amer
lean Express company, leaving the po-
sition to accept a run on the Illinois
Central between Cherokee and Onawa,
and thence to Sioux Falls. He is 40
years of age and has been making his
home at Cherokee. Physically, he is
not a strong man.

Special to Times-Republican.
Hawarden, Jan. S.-While detective
was waiting to place him under arrest
on q charge of endorsement at his re-
cent home in Minneapolis, Henry G.
Durham, formerly of this place shot
himself thru the head with 32-caliber
revolver and died instantly, while his
wife and the officers waiting for him
in the rooms above We're ignorant of
the tragedy which was being enacted.
1t is claimed Durham had been en-
trusted by four Chicago men with
$4,000 for investment, and had failed to
make an accounting for a portion of
the money. "A warrant was issued for
bis arrest and when detective called
at his house to serve the papers, Dun
ham invited him in while lle finished
his dinner. When Durham arose from
the table he remarked to the officer:
Just a minute, while I shake down
the furnace, and I'll be right with you"
About six minutes later Mrs. Durham
went to the basement to look for some
clothes. Suddenly a scream was heard,
and the officer and a brother OF Mrs.
Dunham's hurried to the basement,
where Durham was found with "a bull
let hole in his mouth, his dead body
lying ever a chair.
Henry C. Durham graduated from the
Hawarden high school about ten years
ago, later taking a law course, after
which he went to DeSmet, S. D., and
engaged in the practice of his profess
sion and handled real estate business.
Later he took g. hand in politics and
served thru the legislative session at
Pierre four years ago as chief clerk of
the house. He afterwards engaged in
the real estate business in Minneapolis.
His aged mother, Mrs. T. H. Durham,
lives in Hawarden, and the body of the
son arrived yesterday for burial in the
family lot in the local cemetery. Dun
ham was about SO years old. His wife
was formerly a Miss Smith, OF LeMars,
and they have three children.

Traer, Jan. 8.-Rabbits have so in

farmers. During the last cold snap,
when everything is frozen and cold,
large numbers Of rabbits are subsist-

and doing much damage to the same.
AS a rule, the farmers regard the ami
mails, as a pest and are glad to have
them killed, especially in the open
fields, but often those having farm an
finals in the pastures object to hunt

must depend upon their own efforts TO
free their premises from rabbits. Fer
rets have been purchased by good
many farmers, and this method is be-
