Marble Rock, June 22.-Editor T.-R.,
Marshalltown, Iowa: Dear Sir: Allow
me to correct your article published in
the T.-R. of the goth relative to the
death of D. w. Nickerson, of Marble
Rock. Mr.. Nickerson did not hang the
anarchists nor was he in any way con-
nected with the hanging of them. And
to say that he had to come to Floyd
county thru fear is all fiction and
makes those who know him laugh with
ridicule. Mr.. Nickerson was a man of
nerve and did not know what fear was
and il he had been haunted as your
article mentions, he certainly did not
show it and as he visited Chicago very
often it does prove that he was not
bounded to death, as his residence here
would have been an ideal place for his
enemies to have carried out their OBJ
ject. In regard 20 Mr.. W. H. Gleason
will say that he never was a resident
of Iowa and that he died after an oper-
alton at his residence on Michigan ave-
nue.. Chicago. will also say that s.
F. Hanchett was not the sheriff of Cook
county at the time of the execution Of
the Haymarket rioters.

Vinton. June 23.-The funeral of the
late j. D. Nicholas was held at the
residence yesterday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. w. F. Spry Mr..
Nichols was born in Canada in 1881,
and was the son of Rev. Hugh Nichols.
He was apprenticed to a wagon maker
when small boy and followed that
trade for some time. afterwards he was
a sailor on the great lakes. When he
came to Iowa he studied for and was
ordained Methodist minister and fill
ed some OF the important charges of
the conference. In 1870 he began the
study of law with the firm Of Traer
& Gilchrist Mr.. Nichols was one of
the ablest lawyers this county has pro-
duced For number of years he has
been associated with his son Clarence
in the practice, but since 1907 on ac-
count of failing health he has not en-
gagged actively in the practice of his
profession.
The union meetings which have been
in progress in a tent for the past four
weeks closed Sunday evening. The
preaching was all done by the local
preachers and the singing was led by
Prof. E. j. F'orsythe, of Buffalo. No
account has been kept of the number
of conversions but no doubt much good
will result.

MAY YET HAVE SEWERAGE.
Petitions Circulated Asking Council I
AGAIN Take Up Proposition.

Special to Times Republican
Traer. June 23.-Despite the fact that
the sewerage proposition was voted
down in Traer. we may vet have the
same in a Limited way. Taking up the
matter Of sewer plans for the new
school building, the board find $1,000
or more will be needed to provide a
private system. They consider this
money unwisely expended, because
when the town provides general
sewerage. as it is sure to do within a
few years. the system provided for
school purposes will be of no value.
The board prepared petition to the
council, asking that the city proceed
with the plan as drawn by engineers
a few months ago, laying now only the
main line or pipe from the school
building to the north edge of town. and
erecting a septic. the business street
also to have a main to connect with
business houses. 1t is estimated that
the system in mind will cost about
$4,000, and will be the foundation for
a general system later as demanded.
Petitions asking the city council to
take up the improvement are in cir
culstion and are being signed by a
large majority of the voters.

Bad Wrong Food
Hard To Be Pleasant With Sour
Stomach or Aching Head.

No man is proud of a poor days
work. No man brides himself on a
nasty exhibition Of temper. No woman
wishes for a foul breath or a sallow
complexion or for a Precipitation with
offensive odor. Yet you, dear reader,
may have all these. Our friends do not
always tell us of our physical short
comings-they bear with US and excuse
our faults.
Know thyself. Health spells success
and happiness. Ill health makes many
a man and woman misunderstood.
Drugs, impure air, darkness, bad wa
ter, bad food. or good food mixed bad
ly-all injure the body because they set
up destructive chemical processes.
&c Corn Flakes or Egg-o-See
Wheat Flakes are good foods-neither
will mix badly In the stomach. A
breakfast Of these crisp, delicious,
tasty flakes with cream or milk and
fruit starts the day right, and often
these sensible breakfasts have restored
to normal a physical frame racked by
the poisons Of rich, heavy foods that
sour and destroy instead Of digest and
build up.
Remember It is only the famous Egg
O-See process that makes &c Corn
Flakes and Egg-O-See Wheat Flakes
SO delicious and healthful.

Chief Black Hawk-Now 81 Years
of Age.

McGregor, June 23.-In a comfortable
farm house three miles from the little
city of McGregor there dwells today
one of the happiest and proudest old
ladies in the state; and we'll she may
be proud for just seventy-six years ago
today she took up her legal residence
iii Iowa.
1t is a rare treat to meet one So
closely identified with the uptuilding
of this state as is Mrs. Ann Druzilla.

stood guard over Chief Blachhawk on
the first night of mis- capture and sister
OF the other two for the three men in
question were Edward Dickens. Thun-
As and Martin Van Sickle.
This interesting old lady Of 81 years

oxen in the center of the boat and SO
many men, women and children (pos-
sibly ten in alD as could stand UP
around the oxen. Oh, my, but wasn't
that exciting and weren't we glad when
We got across!"
Two buildings there were in Dun
leith in those days. one the house in
which Julian dubuque had lived. the
other log hotel kept by the Widow
Willoughby. Mrs. Dickens, then a girl
of II years, stopped the first night af-
ter crossing the river at this hotel and
the next day log shack was erected
for the famil., to live in, and, along
with other landseekers, to wait fo- the
LIST of June when the ffty-mile strip
of eastern Iowa, known as the Black
hawk purchase, should be thrown open
to settlers.
AS soon as the shack was thrown to-
gether in the crudest possible way it
was decided that Mrs. Van Sickle and
the children should remain at -he Dun
lieth mines. while the husband and
father, who, oy the way mad been a
soldier of the war OF 1912 and had
fnnoratly served at the battle Of
Princeton, should seek for land farther
north. Away he went, returning on
June with glowing tales OF the newly
found land, and the next day the fam
lily moved and started to erect a log
house on the Maquoketa river. There
they lived until the year 1885, when
whisperings Of a land Of greater prom
Use lured the family to the banks of
Turkey river, where a second cabin,
near the present site of MillvIlle, in
Clayton county. was erected.
Early in the following year Ann Van
Sickle stood at the marriage altar
alongside OF Edward Dickens. a young
man from Tennessee, who had come
here in the same year of the Van Sick
les arrival and who had staked a claim
in the same neighborhood. This fair
bride( for indeed she must have been
fair, judging from the pink cheeks
and steel blue eyes of the old lady of
80 was the first white woman married
in Iowa north of the Turkey river.

The executive council settled the

WORMS KILLING CORN.
Wet Weather Increases Activity Of
New Kind of Pest.

Now Kind OF Pest.
Fort Dodge. June 23.-Moisture in
the ground beyond the usual condi-
ton is supposed to be the cause of
bringing horde of worms that are
causing damage to the young corn in
some sections of the country One
farmer living east Of the city has
started in to pillow up a considerable
section of damaged corn fields and will
sow it to millet.
On this mans farm there is clear
line of distinction between the places
where the worms have worked and
the part unvisited by their presence.
Where they work the corn shoot has
withered and is absolutely killed.
Where there is sunshine and dryness
the invasion of this pest seems to be
checked. Also the chief harm is done
while the corn is just starting and is
very soft.
