Was Beating His Way.

Ed Taylor was employed by the
McManus & Tucker company as a
grade man. With his wife, Taylor
came to this city about two months
ago from Memphis, Mo-, and they were
making their home at 10O91a Fulton
street.
Taylor's wife, who was stricken with
grief on learning that her husband
was killed, stated to a reporter this
morning that Taylor had gone to the
McManus & Tucker people this morn
ing to see if his services would be
required on a job that is under con-
tract at Elvaston. Taylor was expect
ing to go to Evasion tomorrow.
Those who saw the accident, state
that Taylor was undoubtedly in an
intoxicated state and when the K. &
w. freight was pulling past the @
roundhouse blacksmith shop this
morning, he was peering around the
corners of the box car on which he
was sitting. With his back braced
against one Of the iron rods and his
feet against the car ahead. When the
man fell beneath the train more than
half dozen cars passed over the por-
ton of his body that was on the
track. Feeling the jolt, the conductor
signaled the engineer to stop

Was Going to Memphis.


Taylor was evidently beating his
way to Memphis, about forty miles out
of Keokuk on the Keokuk & Western
road. When he was found there was
a letter In, his pocket from someone
who signed their name "Flab." The
letter was short one and was an
acknowledged for money amount
ing to two dollars, which was being
returned to Taylor, who had, from the
reading of the note, loaned 1t to a
friend in Memphis. Besides the letter
addressed to Taylor there was fifty
cent piece and a white linen banker
chief. He was identified by the letter
and the body was taken to the under
taking parlors of Crimmins e Chase,
where it was properly prepared for
burial.
Taylor was stocky built man,
though not tall, and weighed about It's
pounds. No one had ever known him
to be in trouble here, and he, witt his
wife, had only made Keokuk their
home since April
Besides the wife, there survive, his
mother, who lives in Memphis, besides
three brothers at that place and a sis
ter in Chicago. The body will proba-
bly, be taken there for burial. Charles
Taylor, brother living at Memphis,
has been telegraphed for and will ar
rive today.

it's former standards of excellence.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Dr. j. Clyde Smith early this week
removed small particle of lead from
the right eye of Willie Bickerton, the
four year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Bickerton of Marion.
1t seems that Johnny Neiss, neigh
Dor boy had been allowed to play with
a 90 caliber rifle and one of his shots
hit rock very close to where Willie
was playing, with the result that tho
bullet splashed, a small portion of
striking Willie in the eye.
While the boy can family disting-
uish objects, DR.. Smith says it will be
almost q miracle if the little fellow
does not lose the sight Of this eye.

TO PRISON FOR STEALING BOOZE

In the district court last Wednesday
District Attorney Gentry called up the
case of the people Versus Claude II.
Stewart, charged with cattle rustling
and the defendant not being present,
his name being called three times in
open court, his bond for $500 was de-
clared forfeited. 1t is singular fact
in connection with this case that
Stewart's bond was forfeited in the
same way only few weeks ago, but
he was in town at the same time AMI
his attorney appeared in his behalf and
had the order of forfeiture set aside.
This time it looks as though it will be
necessary to collect the bond.
In the Cardiff boxcar burglary De
PENDANTS j. 7. Gadberry and Harry
Mcconnell were arraigned on two
counts and they entered plea OF not
guilty in each.
Another information was filed
against Philip N. Handy and Harry
Mcconnell on two counts and both
plead guilty on the two counts. Henry
w. Drogmier, when arraigned on two
counts for the same crime, entered 4
plea of guilty on the first count and
not guilty on the second count. The
district attorney nollied the second
count inasmuch as the defendant hal
plead guilty on the first count.
Attorney Joe Roselle of Grand juno
tiOn had been retained to defend Cad
berry and ], w. Bell of this city was
appointed by the court to defend Ne
Connell and the case went to trial
Thursday afternoon.
Friday afternoon the jury returned
into court and reported to the judge
that it would be impossible for them to
arrive at a verdict. The jury was dis
charged and the three men who had
entered plea of guilty were brought
up for sentence. Henry w. Drogmier
was sentenced to the penitentiary for
not less than twelve nor more than
thirteen months. Harry Mcconnell
was sentenced on the first count to
from one year to eighteen months ir
the penitentiary and on the second
count was given a sentence in the re-
formatory. Philip N. Handy, who plead
guilty on two counts, was given a
double sentence in the state reforma
tory at Buena Vista. 1t was evident
that only his youth saved him from a
penitentiary sentence. All three o.
the men made the sad but flimsy plea
that they were drunk at the time O..
the crime would not haue been commit
ted.
In the case of ]. T. Gadberry on mo-
tion of the district attorney furthe,
action was postponed until the Noveri-
Der term and the defendant admitted
to bail in the sum of $500.

COUNTY HIGH

TEACHERS EMPLOYED

In the ofhce OF County Superlntend-
ent Ozburn ten members of school
boards which are included in the new
county high school district met last
Saturday for the purpose of Sc
lecting county high school COM
mittee in accordance with the
law, said committee to have com
plete control and supervision over the
county high school which was recently
adopted by vote of the people.
W. NJ. Jones of Cardiff was called
to preside over the meeting which, az
ter brief discussion, proceeded 20
elect the high school committee of four
directors, the county superintendent of
schools being ex-officio member of said
board. A vote being taken the follow
ing were elected as members of the
county high school committee: S. J..
Lowe of Glenwood, W NJ. Jones of Car
John w. Hopkins of Cattle creek.
The board was at once organized by
the election of 8. J. Lowe as president
and w. NJ. Jones as treasurer Mrs. o.
burn being made secretary by the pro-
visions of the law.
William Dougan, president of school
district No. /, then addressed the com
mittee and on behalf of district No. l
rendered the committee the use of the
Glenwood high school building and the
gymnasium building, including all ap-
paratus and all gymnasium equipment,
under the provision that the high
school committee bear its proper share
of the running expenses. This was
thought to be a very reasonable offer
but the Glenwood board was asked to
make the offer official and in writing
when it is thought it will be considered
favorably.
This will permit the committee to be
gin the work of the county high school
at the beginning of the coming school
year and will prove great advantage
to those of the outside districts who
are now placed on an equality with the
GlenwoOd districts and entitled to the
best that can be provided in the way
of high school.
When the committee adjourned a
visit was made to the GlenwOOd build
ing and all expressed themselves after
wards as highly pleased with the splen-
did accommodations which had been
so generously placed at their disposal.
Tuesday afternoon the committee
held another meeting at which the fol
lowing teachers were employed: H. p
Shepherd, superintendent; Ella Allen,
principal; Harvey E. Huber, science
teacher, and Olive Altman, music
teacher
The selection of Superintendent
Shepherd and Miss Altman was oy an
agreement that they give half of their
time to the county high school, it hav-
ing been agreed with the board of dis
trict one that half of the time of each
should be devoted to work in behalf
of the grades.
The board will hold its next meeting
early in June when it is expected that
complete arrangements will be made
for the opening in September of the
best high school ever held in Garfield
county.

VETS and DRYS
IN ALLIANCE
For Stricter Regulation Of
Saloons. Higher License
and Fewer in Number.
REVOCATION PENALTY

The recent victory of the "wets" ip
Denver is not to be altogether victory
| If present indications are to be believ-
ed. The lccal cp,ion people have made
| their power ana influence felt to such
an extent that the advocates of w.t.
| Denver have been forced to sit up and
take notice and it is certain that con-
| ditions in Denver will be greitly im
proved as Il result of the recent battle.
In fact the wet advocates will them
selves insist on better conditions and
will unite with the drys to bring about
some much needed reforms. according to
the following story from u Denver
paper:
Hands have been joined by the vets
and drys, and the two forces are going
to work together in an effort to enforce
the law regarding the liquor traffic.
Hhe two forces have buried the hatchet
as far as fighting each other is concern
ed In the future they will wage their
battle together.
Here are the lines on which the two
forces are going to make their fight:
No saloons in strictly residence dis.
tricts
High license and fewer saloons.
Elimination of the saloon dive.
Elimination of gambling
Elimination of winerooms.
Revocation of license for disobedience
of law.
The decision of the two forces to work
together was reached this morning when
5he drys accepted the invitation of the
vets to join them in seeing that the
avs, as far as the liquor traffic is con-
cerned, are enforced. The invitation
10 work together was sent by John
McDonough, president of the Business
Men s association of the city of Der
yer.
Although we were fighting for an
ment of the law. Will you join us!"
was the tenor of President McDonough's s
invitation.
. You bet we will,' was the reply of
Frank McDonough, Sr., secretary of the
organization that fought for a dry Den
yer.
The joining of the two forces means
that the saloon dive must 60 Those sa-
'oon men who are of the impression that
they will be able to violate the law as
they have been doing will find them
selves sadly mistaken.
President McDonough of the vets also
says that those saloon men who thought
his organization would go out of bus:-
ness after election were just as sadly
mistaken.
'.When / went into this movement
and became the head of this organiza-
tion it was with the intention of bring
ing about reform,' declared Mr. Nc
Donough, emphaticaly. 81 told the sa-
loon interests that / believed it for the
best interests of the city to continue the
liquor traffic, but ] also gave them to
understand that / would see that the
law was enforced after election. 1t was
on this condition that ! accepted the
presidency. Now that the vets have
triumphed. I am going to see that the
laws are carried out, and I want every
body to help me.
One salutary effect in this direction
has already been gained by the hotels
agreeing to close their bars and sell no
to keep their bars closed on Sunday.

WHY WE GIVE VALENTINES.

Long ago there lived a priest named Valen-
tine. This good man was noted In all the coun-
try round for his kindness. He nursed the sick
comforted the sorrowing and was always ready
to give help to anyone who was in need. Valen-
tine dearly loved the children and those who
went to him for food or clothes were never turned
away. After this kind priest became too old to
go among his people he was very sad because he
thought he could no longer be of any help to
them. Then he remembered that he could write
loving messages to the sick and sorrowing. Soon
his friends began to watch for the kind words
that were sure to come whenever sorrow or Joy
entered their homes. Even little children would
say, when they were sick II think Father Valen-
tine will send me letter to-day"
But after a time no more letters were re-
ceived and the news went abroad that good
old Valentine was dead. Then every one said
that such man was good enough to be called
a saint and since then he has been known as St
Valentine. 1t was not long until people cele-
GRATED his birthday by sending loving messages
to their friends. The notes and letters contain
ing these messages were called valentines This
alb happened years ago. but good st. Valentine
is still remembered on the fourteenth of each

about a good old Irish woman whose

sorts of terrible tidings coming to him
but she held her peace until he had
started for the journey. Then she be-

They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well.known
Scotsman OF Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands Of people say 1t
Is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author Naturalist and bosom-friend OF
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul.
tural Experiment Station says 1t fruits
Rbundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season Of Northwestern Canada
II is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
d. S. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew It there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
X. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
II yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. J. II. Powers,
1872 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on space 4x10 feet
TO supply herself and friends.
J. p. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. II. b. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says It is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of U. s. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 10,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
