Freight Clerk Goes Crazy

This morning at five o'clock DR..
L. o. Sloan was awakened by a
telephone message from Douglas,
announcing the fact that there was
sick man aboard the Dolphin.
and requesting the doctor to meet
the boat when she arrived here.
When the steamer docked, DR..
Sloane was on hand and learned
that Freight Clerk J. ". Corcoran
had suddenly been seized with a
delusion bordering on insanity.
The poor fellow was taken to St.
AIMS hospital, but nothing could
be done for him there, so he was
removed to the jail in the federal
building. Corcoran thinks that he
should be somewhere to take part
in lawsuit for tie recovery of the
sum of $4,000. His taYing is
probably of a temporary character.
This noon the mans condition
was SO much improved that he will
probably be able to take the steam
er for the south upon her arrival
tomorrow.-Juneau Record.

The Reason

The car is amazingly simple.
Three of the models operate by
pedal control. Push a pedal for.
ward to go ahead, and backward
to reverse. Push another pedal
foreward to get on high speed
1t is as simple as walking. A 10
year-old child can master the car
in ten minutes.
The Overland has less parts

HEAT PRosTRATIoNs.

! Ottumwa sweltered Saturday and
Sunday and the residents who two
weeks ago were kicking because OF the
cold weather got their share of that
variety Of wether which comes from
the torrid regions. Saturday and Sun
day were the two hottest days of the
year, Sunday being warmer than any
day of the season. The sun rays were
intensely hot and the thermometer at
the police station registered 100 de-
grees at 2 O'clock. Straw hats were out
in force and very few OttumWas OF
the masculine sex were seen promen-
aiding around the streets with their
coats on. The sultry weather Saturday
night was almost unbearable ana
many spent the night sleeping on
porches and in yards.
In their efforts to find resting place
where 1t was shady. the people sour.
ried to the parks all day Sunday. All
Of the shady hooks about the city were
occupied. There was a large crowd out
to Caldwell park during the afternoon
and evening. Others To- ID pleasure IN
boating and Rock Bluffs was a mecca
for many. The more courageous ones
spent the afternoon witnessing the
double header ball game between OF
tumwa and Hannibal, endeavoring to
keep cool by tanning and driking cold
liauids. While the weather was in
tensely hot. no heat prostrations have
been reported.
