Special to Times Republican.
Rockford, Nov 27.-Dr. L. E: Kline
felter died Thursday evening after a
five weeks siege of typhoid fever. 1t
is believed by those who attended him
that he contracted this sickness while
attending one of his patients, thus los
ing his life in devotion to those under
his care. He was very sick from the
beginning and doctors and nurses from
surrounding towns were called but to
no avail.
DR.. Klinefelter came here for the
first time to work in a gravel pit with
a railroad gang about twelve years ago
while he was still student. Even
then he attracted the attention of those
who CHANGED to become acquainted
with him. About five years ago he be-
gan TO practice here as a physician.
From the first he seemed to succeed
and his practice has grown rapidly. He
was eminently successful with his
cases and was held in high esteem
thruout the community, not only as a
professional man but as personal
friend He lead a clean life. which
inspired the confidence of all classes.
DR. .Klinefelter was the son of a Meth
odist minister who with the mother
lives at present in Des Moines.
one of the sad features of the death
is the fact that his father and mother
had left for California about the time
the doctor took sick. They expected to
spend the winter with daughter. Be-
sides his parents he leaves a brother
who, with his wife, is engaged in mis-
sion work in the Philippines. His sis
ter and husband. Mr.. and Mrs. A. w
Nell, were formerly. engaged in mission
work in India but are now in San
Francisco in mission work having been
compelled to return from India on ac-
count of failing health. A sister. Mrs
s. E. Huber, lives at Iowa Falls. A
sister, Miss Elizabeth Klinefelter, Is
teaching in the schools of Des Moines.
Besides these he leaves a wife and lit
tie girl, to whom the sympathy of the
entire community goes out
/ Mrs kinefelter was Katherine Nor
ris, of Chicago. She came here with
the doctor as his bride. She is crushed
under the weight of her grief. 1t was
a sad close to the Thanksgiving day
for Rockford. A wide circle of friends
mourn with the wife and family.

FARM CENSUS SCHEDULE,
Il Has Been Completed and Nine Mil.
lion Copies Will be Printed.


Washington, Nov. 27.-Census Di-
rector Durand has received from AS
sistant Director William f. Willough-
by the general schedule for the census
of agriculture, April 18TH next which
iMr. Willoughby, in conjunction with
Prof. LeGrand Powers, chief statistic
ian for agriculture, and the advisory
board of farm economists and other ag-
ricultural experts, has been formulate
ing during the summer.
Director Durand has approved the
form and subdivision of the inquiries
and has orderd 100000 copies of the
schedule to be printed by the govern
ment printing office in readiness before
Jan. I, altho they will not be placed in
the hands of the $4,000 farm enlpm erat-
ors until the usual time before the en-
umeration date 1t is believed there
are nearly seven million separate farms
in the United States, each requiring
a separate schedule.
The schedule is printed on both sides
of single sheet, 10 inches long and 16
inches wide, of white writing paper,
26 by 80 inches. There is a, three-i inch
wide column of instructions to enumer-
ators ON both left sides of the sheet so
that it can be cut off after the filled in
schedule has been returned to the CEN
sus bureau. This makes the schedule
smaller in size and better adapted for
handling in tabulation than previous
schedules. "A separate book of instruc
lions to enumerators supplements the
schedule information.
The nine million copies will consume
$500 rearns of paper, which, counting
fiftytwo pounds ito the ream, will make
a weight of 234,00 pounds. The charge
for printing, including the cost of pa
per-. will be s13,66O. The schedule is
so standardized that it will feed on the

Attorney General Byers is highly
at Council Bluffs on the charge of
larceny. Not very many believed be-
fore the case opened that it would be
possible to secure a conviction in this
case. The attorney general was drawn
into 1t by special request of the feder-
al authorities and also because of the
fact that there was desire that some
outside interest take a hand to see that
there was no failure to get justice.
The whole story of the gang is a
romance as full of the sensational and
mysterious as one of Jules verne's now
els" said Mr.. Byers. Il have never
in all my practice come against such
a remarkable situation. I believe there
has never been anywhere such a stu
pendous bunco game palmed off on the
public"
The significance of one of the trouble
eases disposed Of by the railroad COM
in the fact that such a case had to be
made at all 1t seems that the National
Petroleum Association is an organiza-
llOn thru WNlcn the independent oil
companies transact business of mutu-
al interest. They found it necessary
TO protest against the action of the
Rock Island and the Burlington in re-
fusing to accept oil in less than car
load lots except on one day a week.
Now the Burlington has agreed to
handle such oil every day. The i'm
portance of it is that most of the in
dependents are small and they handle
a great deal more of their product in
less than carload lots than does the
oil trust. Hence the application of the
rule was in effect, tho of course not
so intended, an encouragement of the
trust end on par with the ancient
rebate system.
Hon. Timothy E. McCurdy, for near
ly eight years in charge of the state
capitol as custodian. has been spend
ing few days in his old launts. AL
tho there is no doubt that he was the
best custodian the state ever had and
that by his activity and eternal watch
fulness he saved the state much more
than his meager salary, yet he con-
fesses that since he retired he has
bought an automobile and has built q
handsome new house at Hazleton, Bu-
chanon county.

CARROLL FOR GOVERNOR
Neither Has 5yers Decided to Stand

Has Nate Kendall Joined the Quit

Special to Times-Republican.


Des Moines. Nov. 27.-There appears
to be very little substance to the Do
llticA stories that have been doled out
in Des Moines the past week or two. A
story came from Washington which
would indicate that Clarke would be a
candidate for governor. There was
really nothing to 1t other than a rumor
based on the fact that it is well known
Clarke has been very strongly urged,
both personally and by letter, to be-
come a. candidate. He has not indicated
that he will. His attitude is exactly
that of Governor Garst in the matter
In either case it is not a factional
matter, for the men both have very
warm admirers of all factions.
Another. story about Attorney Cen
eral Byers being possible candidate
for congress in the Ninth originated
largely from the desire of good repub-
licans in the Ninth district to start
something. Still another of like char
acter connected Nate Kendall up with
the reputation of being a gutter.
There is also more or less of talk
about the state ticket. An effort is be-
ing made to have general acquiesence
in the plan to renominate everybody,
especially every one who wants re-
election. 1t is known that w. G.
Brown, of Wright county, is being
urged to become a candidate either
next year or three years hence. for
state treasurer. but he has never buttef
into politics outside his own county
One who has been mentioned as pos
sible candidate for railroad commits
sioner was visited by a committee of
railroad men and urged to desist, as
it is desired that no fight be made
anywhere on anybody or for any place.
All the talk about proposed or
prospective conference of republicans
in the Seventh district to bring out
an entirely new candidate for congress
lis declared by the politicians to be
sheer moonshine. Captain Hull has
played the game SO we'll that probably
TO defeat him. At any rate it is almost
certain there will be no conference to
decide on a candidate. The plan of de-
Gliding upon candidates by conference
was put out of business last summer
and matters are to be left in district
and state to drift whittier they may
There is perhaps less politics being
talked and considered in and about Des
Moines now than any other place in
the state.

while a small one is going to be up
to-date in every respect as regards
the safety vaults and other cOnven-
fences for the transaction of the
banking business. We are glad to
know that some of our citizens are
having a part in it's construction. It
warrants good workmanship.

CABBAGE IS
PROFITABLE
Wood County Farmer Goes Into
Business on Extensive Scale:
has 10000 Planted.

John Ulmer of the town of Marsh
field, Wood county, has commenced
the raising of cabbages on an ex-
tenslve scale and has 10000 plants
this season. This amount is planted
by machines, which plants about
three acres per day. AS the 10000
cabbage plants only take up a ten
acre tract the entire work Of plant
ing only requires about four days.
Mr.. Ulmer said the Colby clay loan,
which covers nearly all of the west
ern half of Marathon county and
parts of Clark, Wood and Taylor
counties, is especially suited for rails
ing cabbages and that this enter
prise has paid him more than any
other crops that can be raised in
central Wisconsin.

Offer to the Mayor in an Ef-

out Further Litigation.

M. A. BoSoger, to show his good
viii towards the widening of Vine

Ids, offered TO accept the judgment
rendered against the city of Grand
Rapids less $3.50 if the Mayor and
Common Council would make a set
tlemer7 of that case at the present
time without any further litigation.
This he said he was willing to do as
a matter of compromise and to close
up the matter of widening Vine
street, but if this could not be done
at this time why the further widen
ing Of Vine street would have to
stand until such time as there was
settlement in the Supreme Court.
We believe in this act, that Mr. Bo-
gOger has shown a disposition to
meet the City more than half way
in settlement If the city will now
do the same this matter can 5e dis
posed of and Vine street widened as
it ought to be.

kAUDY MFG. COMPANY
ELECTS OFFICERS

The stock holders in the Kaudy
Manufacturing Company held theil
annual meeting in July and re-
elected the same board of directors.
Since that meeting one of the di-
rector5 resigned and at meeting of
directors held on Monday the fol
lowing officers were elected:
President-G. ]. Kaudy.
Vice President-E. P. Arpin.
Secretary-J. S. Thompson.
Treasurer-F. ]. Wood.
G. J. Kaudy will continue to act
as manager and salesman. This
company did $4,000 more work this
year than they did last, and yet were
unable to take all orders that came to
them. The directors decided to erect
al addition to the factory which
would double the yearly output of
the present factory as they have
been crowded for finishing room. 1t
HOW looks as if the future of this
concern would be much brighter and
successful than it has been in the
past due to the fact that they lack
ed working room to handle the pro-
duct as favorably as it ought to be.
This factory has been running the
year around when other factories
have been closed down.
