KILLED BY JUMP FROM TRAIN.
Demented Man Leaps Thru Glass Door
of Northwestern Car.

Missouri Valley Sept. 6.-While ap-
parently in a demented state, Thomas
Kivimaki jumped thru the glass door OF
q yestibule on a Northwestern train
near Missouri Valley and was killed
almost instantly.
He was evidently a Finn, about 80
years of age, and had ticket from
Duluth, Mich, to Cotton, Utah. Papers
found in mining districts near Duluth.
He also had several certificates OF
mining stock in his pocket.
The man had acted sanely enough on
the train, except he was talking to him
self when suddenly he got up from his
seat and walked out into the -vestibule.
Two passengers sitting in that end OF
the car heard a crash and, running
out there, found big hole in the glass
door and Kivimaki missing.
At the coroner inquest it developed
that the man had been seen around
the Sioux City station the day before
acting queerly. A verdict was return
ed by the jury that he met death by
jumping from moving train while in
a demented state.

the past seven days We're generally
cloudy and damp, with the average
temperature one to three degrees be-
low the normal. Rain fell in some
parts of the state every day of the

received more or less moisture, there
has been "a decided Improvement in
crop and soil conditions.
Pasturage and aftermath in meadows
have made rapid growth and are now
furnishing sufficient feed for stock. and

Some of the late potatoes will be
benefited by the rains, but the crop as
a whole will be far below the average.
There has been enough moisture over
the larger part of the state to mature
the corn crop. but warm sunshiny
weather is needed for the next four
weeks to place the whole of the crop

Mason City, Sept. 6-According to
reports received here from Clear Lake,
the state is wanting to buy about 1000
acres Of land at the head of the lake to
be used as a fish hatchery. The land
has been looked over by those ac-
uuainted with the business and they
think the location would be ideal. There
seems to be a controversy on just
at the present time to know whether
the waters belong to the state or not.
1t seems to be land that was overflow
ed when the state established the water
line of the lake and the owners claim
the land as theirs altho in places it is
covered by eight or ten feet of water.
If the state gets hold of it one of the
largest hatcheries in the west will be
located there.

RELICS OF WAR TINES.

Washington, Dec. 2:-Harking
b. nearly half a century and res
drecting relics of war times. United
States Attorney Clarence R. Wilson
has reoDened a case which his faith
er, Nathaniel Wilson, as Assistant
United States Attorney, closed in
1859.
The quaint old case involves the
distribution of a fund OF s1,169.99,
the proceeds from the sale of TWEEN
ty-three horses and mules, which
were seized as prizes of war on the
Upper Tennessee river in 1883 by
three federal vessels, the Lexington,
the Robb and tn Silvr Lake. under
command of Lieutenant Commander
Leroy Fitch. The animals were
sold and the money was deposited
in Cincinnati.
In 1869 the Supreme Court of the
district decreed that the horses and
mules, which had been owned by
supporters of the Confederacy, were
lawful prizes Of war, and directed
thai the proceeds from their sale
be held by the Assistant Treasurer
at Washington subject to further Or
der OF the court for distribution
among the officers and crew of the
three vessels as captoTs.
For t~hirty-hve years the fund has
been on deposit awaiting claimants,
but none appeared. The new action
is taken to straighten out the record
and make final disposal OF the

MONUMENT OF LINCOLN,

Washington, Dec. 2:-The cree
ton of a monument in this city in
honor of Abraham Lincoln will be
urged upon congress for approval by
Senator Cullom, tRpn. Ilfs.). He
believes that Lincoln has been too
long neglected and that a memorial
should be erected without further
delay and regardless Of expense.
Whether the cost should be $4,000
600 Or $4,000, 600, Senator Eullom
said should not be given considera-
ton in the selection of a suitable de-
sign.
Cullom was a close friend of Lin
coin and thus thepersonal element
as well as his admiration for Lin
coins greatness enters into his de-
sire to see the emancipation properly
honored.
Provision for the erection of a
memorial" he says, ''is a wish !
cherish as a duty which / hope may
be fulfilled before 1 end my service"
The project has been pending in
congress for years but failure of the
statesmen to agree upon a site has
prevented legislation.
Two statues of Lincoln now grace
the streets of Washington. One
shows him in the act of striking
shackles from a slave and the other
is a small statue of the war Presi-
dent standing on a high pillar OF
stone. The demand, however, is for
a grand memorial and Senator Cu1-
lom believes that conditions are fay
orable for getting action by congress
this winter.
