A neighbor has put in two acres of
onions on land that is very weedy,
and judging by the rate that the
weeds are coming on, ! imagine that
somebody is going to lose some sleep
over the matter before the crop is

for onions ought to be summer-fal-
lowed the year before; otherwise the
labor involved gobbles the value of
the crop.

The Auto in Bingville.

The blamed thing came from No
where
and it headed straight for Nit,
But everyone in Bingville Town will
e'er remember it;
With chugs that made all tremble
and a hiss like forty snakes,
1t struck the peaceful village anC
forgot to work its brakes;
1t hit poor Widow Hinkley in the
middle of Main street,
And knocked old Deacon Butterwortl
clean off his pious feet,
Doc Livermore was struck between
the fishpond and the we'll,
And all his pills were scattered as the
Doc let out a yell;
Bill Hepburn, whowas dazzed, swore
he'd never drink a drop,
When it came tearing down the road
and whizzed right by his shop.
Hen Weathersby was snoozing, for nc
customers were there
When, Swish!-the signboard of his
store went sailing through the air;
Yves Woodruff tried to catch it, bu,
his traps want big enough,
And so he hiked to Sawridge to en-.
trap some smaller stuff;
Samantha Deevers, who is sick and
never yet was well,
Was so upset and flustered that she
had another spell;
Seth Dewberry was at his post-yet
what could poor Seth do,
But climb the tallest tree in town and
take another chew!
AT last it cleared the village and the
townfolk voiced their pain,
And got their pitchforks ready if the
dashed thing came again;
They thought it was the Devil, and ii
made them better feel,
When old Cy Perkins beloved, 'Tt's
an ottermo-bub-bile!"

SANCHA KNOWS Mr.. BERGER
Council Bluffs Man Says Socialist
Member WIN Toll for PeO-
ple'a Good.

The election OF Victor l.. Berger Of Mil
waul1ee to congress is particularly pleasing
to several Council Bluffs men, who know
him personally and esteem him most highly.
Among them is ]. W. Sancha OF the
Monarch Printing company, whose attach
ment to Berger is founded upon something
more enduring than sentimental friendship.
II is a knowledge Of the exalted ideals of
the man and his deep planted purpose to
do something worth while in the great
field Of human economics.
Not only the tc'lers OF the land may
look to Berger with confident expectation.
but the people Of the whole country may
depend upon him as man itnbued with
the highest form Of patriotism, with ideals
that represent the very best there is in
our humanity" said Mr. Sancha. Just
watch Victor Berger's work in congress,
work that will be accomplished under the
greatest difficulties, handicapped by oppor-
tunities purposely withheld, but neverthe-
less watch him. He represents a new. ideal
in American politics. and he begins his
work equipped by native abilities equalled
by few men"

Council Bluffs
Police Find Deau
Man in Corn Field
Evidently Came to His Death by Sui
eide, But His Identity
is Mystery.

The body Of an unidentified man. appar-
emily about Is years old, was found yester-
day afternoon partially concealed by grass
and weeds in a cornfield near the Union
Pacific dump in the vicinity OF South Thr-
tieth street and Ninth avenue, Council
Bluffs. The body had apparently lain
there for two or three months. The CLOTH
ing was weatherbeaten and almost ready
to fan apart
Underneath the BODY lay a coil Of rope
and a A-canbre Colts revolver with part
of the chambers empty. Tho hair and
scalp had fallen from the sliun and on the
upper right side a large bullet hole showed
the cause OF death Not scrap OF writing
or other means Of Identification was found
IN the cloth MS. The clothing was that Of
laboring man. The indications point to
suicide but under the circumstances this
can only be a surmse.
The cornfield Is IN an isolated location,
southwest Of the Herman greenhouses. It
is a small tract and has not been visited
by its owner except for general purposes
OF observation since the corn blowing
season ended. The body was found when
men were gathering the corn crop.
The remains were taken to the Cutler
morgue by order Of Coroner Treynor and
the police department asked to cooperate
in the effort to establish tho mans Identity.
Apparently the man had provided himself
with a coil Of rope and a big revolver,
I bent on self-destruction either by hanging
or shooting. and the loneliness OF the corn
field suggested the latter.
| The police have no reports OF missing
| mon corresponding with the description of
the dead man. Only one thus reported is
still missing. and he is Andy Lorenzen. the
former patrol driver who left the service
last spring to become a rancher near Nor
/ folk. Neb., and disappeared after a visit
here about June l. The description, how
ever. in no degree fits him. The dead man
was Of small stature and had red hair.
A more careful examination OF the cloth
ing Of the dead man made last evening re-
vealed some things that may lead TO iden-
! tlficatlon. In his pocketboOk that was
found in the partly decayed clothes was
! found a package or baggage check issued
| by Barkalow Bros, Omaha and numbered
II 29.l9 The black Stetson hat which he
wore bore the name Of the Plymouth Cloth
! ing store, Fort Dodge, Ia. and the mer-
! chants mark on his coat showed that HIS
suit was sold by ]. Capps & Son., Jack
| sonville. III. filled gold case, open face
] Waltham watch and chain and go cents in
cash were all that could be found in. his
clothing.
The weeds had grown up around the body
TO height Of several feet
