DEGREES HIS BODY
TO HELP SCIENCE

Ottumwa, Ia, April 15.-"I command
chat my body be not buried, but that it
be used for the benefit of science; and
TO that end upon my decease it shall
become the property of DR.. w. A. True

by him dissected; and after it has
served such purpose the bones shall, at
the expense of my estate, be wired and
the skeleton thus mounted shall be the
property Of the aforesaid DIR. William
"A. Trueblood'
The foregoing unusual clause in the
will of Martin Florida, who died Sun
day in the Ottumwa hospital, was yes
terday afternoon declared invalid by
Judge G. W. Vermillion, of the Wapello
county district court. The court ruled.
instead, that the body be buried and
not strung up as a skeleton. The will
was written March 20. 1909, and in
addition to the order disposing of his
body, the late Mr.. Floridas last testa-
mert provided for the disposition OF
his estate. amounting to $4,000, to his
five children. Not wishing to act in
variance with the will, Mrs. Charles
NJ. Johnston, one of the daughters, to-
gether with DR.. Trueblood. placed the
matter before Judge Vermillion, in or
der to relieve themselves Of the re-
sponsibility of disposing of the body
/ in such an unusual manner.
The court issued an order authoriz-
| ing DR.. Trueblood to make post NOR
+! TEN of the remains. The funeral will
be held after this Is completed, prob
ably Wednesday or Thursday.

BIG FORFEITURE
Contract Price Cut $25 fc.
Every Day Of Delay in
Completing Work.

Nermillion, S. d., April 21.-When the
Pollard Campbell company. Of Omaha,
contracted With Yanl<ton and Clay
counties to construct the Clay creek
drainage canal, it was agreed that the
canal should be finished by April 1. 1909.
AT a meeting of the Clay and YanktoN
county commissioners last week. the
company asked for an extension of time
In which to finish digging the canal.
The commissioners refused to grant
this request and demanded that the
company fulfill their part of the con-
tract to the letter, which means that
for every day that goes over April l.,
the dredging company should pay the
counties $25 day until the work is
completed. From this date it is esti-
mated that 1t will require at least 80
more DAYS to finish the big job.
The Pollard Campbell company will
take the matter into the courts on the
strength of two clauses in the contract:
one In regard to strikes and the other
In regard IT, water They claim that
for three weeks there wasn't water
enough to float the big dredges and also
that work was suspended on account OF
strike in eastern machine shops where
some repairs had to be secured. Engi7
neer a. B. McDaniels, of the university
here. who has been in the employ of
the counties ever since operations be-
gan has stated that the delay caused
by the lack Of water was not more than
a week. and besides this statement it
will be up to the company to prove that
the strikes mentioned really occurred

Birdsall, of Waterloo, presented a writ

not legally passed, as the record of
what happened on the last day as to
the amendments is not clear. There is
no doubt, however, the governor will
sign the bill and leave it to the courts.
The attorney general virtually takes
the position that the discrepancy is in
regard to immaterial details. No ap-
pearance was made in favor of the bill.
The state board of control has de-
c!ded upon the purchase of tracts of
land at Fort Madison, Cherokee, Glen
wood and possibly at some other state
institution, with the money appropri-
ated. The board has not yet given out

PASTOR MAKES $5OO,O00
IN A FEW YEARS

Chicago, April 21.-A formal real estate
transfer just made in the routine Of the
county recorders office revealed the story
of Chicago minister of the gospel who
has gained a fortune of $5OO,O during his
spare time from preaching. Four years
ago he left Chicago with slender means
to nurse daughter back to health. To-
day he is the owner of landed estates
and an exclusive metropolitan apartment
building.
The hero Of this fairy tale OF finance
and religion is the Rev. Richard A. Nor
ley, Methodist Episcopal pastor who
was stationed for several years in Chi
cago and Oak Park churches. The story
transplred in the purchase by the minister
of the Kenwood, the apartment hotel at
KenwOod avenue and Forty-seventh street
for 100000
The Rev. Mr.. Morley, who is As years
old, was pastor Of the Moreland church
at Walnut street and Forty-ninth avenue.
and later of the Sheffield avenue church
on the north side. Still later he was pas
tor OF the Euclid Avenue church in Oak
Park.
In 1904 the health of his daughter began
to fail and soon afterward he exchanged
pastorates with the Rev. A. c. Geyer. of
Las Vegas, N NJ, whittier he went in
an effort to save his child from tubercu-
losis.
Shortly afterward Mr.. Morley purchased
a ranch a short distance from Las Vegas
at tax sale. That was the beginning of
his prosperity. He bought more land and
sold 1t at a large profit and within two
years was the owner of a tract known as
the Phoenix ranch comprising $50 acres,
which he purchased for $4,000. This prop
erty is worth more than three times what
Mr. Morley paid for it.
Then the minister branched out still
further, purchasing a 10oO acre farm in
at $4,000: two farms in Illinois, and one
In Wisconsin. And all the time he never
missed Sunday in his pulpit nor a
Wednesday evening prayer meeting.

1t is believed that worry over this case
so affected the mind of William z. Balm

nitted suicide. The treasury department
had fully approved of Bainbrdge's course
