WANTS HIGH EXTENDED
M. Gasperi Desires to Lay Out an
Addition East of Eleventh ST.

Mike Gasperi, who lives east OF
Eleventh street beyond the end of the
High avenue paving. has taken meas
ures looking toward the extension OF
the highway into his territory that
will permit him to make improvements
and erect buildings. High avenue is
intersected at Eleventh street by a
deep ravine that for years has limited
the march OF improvement to the east.
Some most desirable building lots are
available east of Eleventh street and
south of A avenue for several blocks.
Mr.. Gasperi asks that the city find
some way of opening the avenue
across the gully or slough, bridging it
as a stream would be crossed making
a culvert and filling, or in some other
way finding means to open highway
into his land.
The matter will be considered by
the street committee and report made
at a subsequent meeting. The admin
istration is at loss to know how the
matter can be managed as il will be
an expensive piece of work, no matter
how it is accomplished.

USED WORDS he UNDERSTOOD
Clever Idea Of Lawyer That Won
Sailor Juryman to His Side
of the Case.

1t was clever lawyer in Boston
court recently who took advantage
of the nautical knowledge he pos
sessed to work upon the mind of a
juryman wht did not seem to snow
much comprehension of a case a OF
suing a street railway for damages.
The dull member was an old sailor,
who, though doubtless very keen of
perception along some lines, was new.
ertheless rather slow in his under
standing of the points involved in the
case being tried, says the New York
Journal, The lawyer noticed this and
made his strike with this particular
man. Approaching the jury box, he
addressed himself to this one jury,
man and said:
Mr.. Juryman, will tell you how ii
happened The plaintiff was in COM
mand of the outward bound open car,
and stood in her starboard channels.
Along came the inward bound closed
car, and Just as their bows met she
jumped the track, sheered to port, and
knocked the plaintiff off and ran over
him" .

rhlers Ingenious scheme.

Carrying a gold-headed cane, and
caught pocketing $4,000 in notes which
did not belong to him, an Englishman
named Galloway has been arrested in
Paris for an ingenious crime. For
some time past the police had been
trying to find out how large numbers
of bank notes disappeared from the
counters of several banking establish
ments in Paris. The other day two
detectives noticed the man at desk
several yards away from the clerk
who was counting notes. Apparently
he was very busy with some calcula-
tons, and on the desk lay his gold
knobbed cane, with the ferrule under
Galcway's hand. The detectives were
surprised to notice a spring issue from
the gold handle of the cane and tuck
itself into the band round parcel Of
notes which were then quietly drawn
towards the clever thief

How Prince Ito Solved ! Problem.

When Nine. Sada Macco, the ia.
nous Japanese actress, received the
news of the assassination of Prince
Ito at Mito, where she was playing
with her troupe, she burst into tears.
IN my frequent quarrels With my
husband" said the actress, I'VE some-
times asked Prince Ito to judge be-
tween us. One day, when we had
more than usually violent dispute at
Chigasaki. the prince came in unex-
pectedly, and asked him to decide on
the question.
HE declined, while proposing the
following solution: GO down into the
garden, both of you. and fight it or:t
like wrestlers. The one that wins
will naturally be the one who Is in the
right

WERTAMPEREDWITH
Vandals Destroy Locks on Septic
Tank Steel Traps.

City officials and members of the
council are incensed at the repeated
attempts of vandals to damage the
sewer system and to impair the eff
cheney of the septic tank south of the
city. Several times attempts have
been made to clog the sewers and stop
the flow of sewage, but the latest at
tempt is the worst yet noted. Fol
lowing the placing of debris in the
man-holes and the showing of vessels
filled with brick and rock in the
sewer pipes, the man1holes were
closed, steel trap placed over the
lids and the top secured with pad
locks. When William Oldham, who
has charge of the septic tank, went to
the place Monday morning he found
that the heavy brass paddock at the
man-hole controlling the valves dis
tributing the sewage in the tank, had
been broken off and the man-hole en-
tered, for what purpose is not yet
known. The valves had been disturb
ed and changed. Other padlocks Sc
curing the man-holes into the tank
had been tempered with but had re.
sisted attempts to wreck them.

Bringing Up Children.

There are plenty Of debatable points
about how to bring up a child. Shall
he use right hand and left equally?
Shall he toddle to kindergarten at A;
or run wild, untaught till z? Shall he
ever under any circumstances be
spanked? The world is not agreed,
But on one subject enlightened opin
ion is unanimous. Children must not
be scared.
A shock is never justifiable. There
fore, when there is screaming at the
sea dip we temper the ordealgto swim
ming baths. For that fear. of the dark
that comes sometimes. no one knows
whence, TO children free from all bogy
lore, there is the humane night-lighi
and the comforting society of plush
bear as bedfellow. Everything should
be delightfully."- and smoothly ordered
in fact, for a. normal rising generation
if only parents will restrain them
selves and keep their nerves out OF the
nursery.

MIGHT Be foul PLAY
Mysterious Death of Walter Dutton
in Central Yards.

| Walter Dutton, a miner of Eddy
vile, SO years OF age, was found in
an unconscious condition last night
about midnight by the night switch
ing crew of the Iowa Central in the
south part of the yards near the over
| head bridge. He was picked up by
the switching crew and taken to the
passenger depot and the city ambu-
lance called. The man recovered
consciousness when picked up and
when the ambulance arrived he was
by his own request taken to the home
LOT his sister, Mrs. Jesse Harlan, at
No. 433 North Fifth street. "A ply
stefan attended the man but he died
about 800 o'clock this morning. How
the man was injured is not known.
Some are of the opinion that he start
ed for Eddyville earlier in the even
| ing and was struck by some of sthe
numerous trains that pass through
that portion of the yards. This story
is shattered by the statement of the
| injured man before his death. The
man stated that. he was riding on a
train and he was struck by some-
one, he did not know whom, and
Knocked from the train He did not
remember any more until he was
picked up later in the night. What
train the man referred to is not
known and he himself did not seem
quite clear on this point. 1t might
have been the passenger No. 2,
which leaves the CITY about $780,,
that carried the man to this part of
the yards. He might have referred
to freight train when he said he
was, riding on train.
There is no doubt of the fact that
the man was struck by something,
as the ibruise over the left eye shows
that some heavy instrument had
come in contact with the skull. Who
ever struck the man, did not follow
him for robbery, as nothing of value
which the man carried was touched.
He was found in the little ravine
along the track where he probably
fell when struck. The only mark on
the mans body that shows how he
might have met with foul play is the
bruise over the left eye. Outside of
this bruise there is no other mark
which would indicate how he came to
his death.
There are various opinions abroad
as to how the man met with accident
that resulted in his death. Some light
may be shed on the case after the
autopsy which well be held this even
ing, After the autopsy the county
coroner will hold an inquest.
Dutton was man sc years of age
and resided at Eddyville. He made.
his home with his father, Jesse Dut-
ton, on the farm of the latter about
two and half miles west of Eddy
vile. He has been employed at the
mines near Eddyville for several
years. The man had many friends
and was well liked in his community.
He is an unmarried man his wife and
two children having died several
years ago, The man leaves father,
mother, one brother and one sister.

THE MILLS OF JUSTICE
Troubles of People Sifted Through
Court Hoppers.

The month of January was included
in period of unusual quiet in the
peace OF the city. The public peace
officers had little or nothing to do
and but for little civil business
would have been in idleness the en-
tire month. Only twenty-four arrests
were made during the month of jan
uary, while December recorded sixty
four for the same length of time. Only
eight arrests were made for drunken
ness and only six tramps were taken
in by the police officers. The re-
mainder OF the cases were divided be-
tween petty larceny, fighting. assault
and battery, using obscene language,
cruelty to animals and disorderly con-
duct. But Oskaloosa was not the
only spot in the state. Almost every
other municipality reports a like I'M
accountable falling on in the number
of arrests. The winter months are
generally the busiest periods Of the
year on account of the greater proba-
Dilitics and opportunities tor viola
tions Of ordinances.

poa Climbs Mont Riann.

A dog living at Les Praz. near
Chamonix. in the summer of 1908 dis.
tinguished himself by climbing Mont
Blanc. His master, a workman, was
employed on repairs to the observa.
tory on the summit. One morning.
after having been seen by his owners
wife at eight o'clock, the dog disap-
peared. He must have rapidly tracked
his master BY scent, for he arrived at
the summit at half past two in the
afternoon, having accomplished in 6h
hours what usually is estimated to
require 1S hours for a man. The
presence of some tourists at the top
insured this fact being properly at.
tested. and Mont Blanc. as the dog
is now called, is quite hero in his
village.

Headsear Prevented Fighting.

Korea, where the assassination OF
the premier followed closely on that
of Prince Ito, is living up to its an.
cient reputation. At one time, his.
torian explains, fatal quarrels became
so frequent in the country that drastic
measures were necessary. A law was
promulgated ordering adult males to
wear on all occasions china head
dress, shaped like an inverted flower
pot. 1t was impossible to fight when
crowned with this fragile gear, and
the penalties for removing it were Sc
we're. The first offense entailed so
blows on the soles of the feet, and the
second meant decapitation. This de.
cree had the most soothing effects. the
nature of the inhibitants changed as if
by magic and Korea became known as
the "land of the morning calm"

STOCK MARKET DEMORAlIzED
VALUES e'''.-o BADLY-TRANs-
A-..Cn- - EXAMINED.
introduction Of Incorporation Bill In
Congress Given as Excuse for
Raj.

New York, Feb. S.--The stock mar
ket bordered upoa decentralization
again. From opel ing to close the
bears hammered stocks relentlessly
and there was little evidence of any
effort to stop the slaughter.
AS usual the bears concentrated
their attacks upon United States Steel
common. The stock was thrown over
in large blocks by the public until it
was driven down to rs 3-S. The trans
actions were enormous.
There we're many explanations Of
the markets weakness, but the pop
uiar theory was that the big men are
seeking to impress the public with
their disapproyal of President Taft's
corporation policies. The introduction
of the federal incorporation bill in
both houses of congress was a gen
orally accepted excuse for the market
raid. The feature of the bill which
frightened Wall street most was that
which prohibits new issues of stock
unless there is full value behind them.
Wall street fears that this will pre-
vent the building Of new railroads and
the launching of new industrial en-
terprises where it has been the prac-
tice to give bonus in stock to the
promoters.
There was an especially vigorous
attack on the copper stocks. The ex-
PLANTATION given was that the proposed
copper merger will be impossible UNI
der the clause of the new bill which
says that mo stock with par value
may be issued in payment of property
purchased or acquired by the corpora
tion to an amount in par value exceed
ing the value approved by the commits
sioner after such appraisement"
Anaconda stock was driven down
from 49A to 46, the lowest price at
which it has sold in months. Amalga-
mated broke from 76A to 713s.
Union Pacific fell points, Reading
4, Southern Pacific 5, Chesapeake &
Ohio 4, and New York Central 2.
Despite the big declines there were
no report of stock exchange houses
in trouble and leading bankers said
that there were no signs of any APP
preaching crash. On the contrary,
they declared that the financial situa-
ton was showing steady improve
ment as result of the heavy liquida-
ton.
