POWER VERY Low
Shops on Rock Island Arsenal
Facing Shut Down as
a Result.
STAGE OF WATER TO BLAME
Level in Sylvan Lake Far Below
Where 1t Ought to Be-May Ar
range for Outside Help.

The Rock Island arsenal shops are
experiencing considerable difficulty in
getting power to run their machinery
as result of the low stage of water
in Sylvan lake and over the river gen
etsiy. Wednesday the shops were
shut down for time during the after.
neon and yesterday the same thing was
true. Today they kept running alright
but only by great care in applying the
pow which was generated at the
power house. The use of elevators in
the shops had to be practically discon-
timed and many other machines which
could be disposed with for a time were
stopped.
May Get Outside Power.
The commandant states that there is
a possibility that if the water in the
river drops to q lower stage than it is
now, the shops may have to be shut
down completely for time, though ne
hopes that thais contingency will not
arise. In case it does, however he will
attempt to arrange to get power from
several of the Moline factories which
Supplied it last year and in former
years when blockades of ice cut off the
flow of water at the power dam for
several days at time.

retired farmer. who came to his death
under mysterious circumstances while
at the Vemere hotel yesterday morning
with Mrs. Alice Mccoy, of the same
place, who was to be his wife later in
the day, removed doubt as to the
ccuse of death. Drs. Joseph DeSilva
and A. n. Mueller conducted the post
norton yesterday afternoon and it
showed beyond doubt that death had
been due to valvular heart trouble.
There were large blood clots in the
valves of the heart, showing just what
lad caused the mans death.

tors in the post norton, the coroner's

member, will be in charge Surviving
Mr.. Freel are two sisters, Mrs. John
Laughed of Blakesburg, Iowa, and
Mrs. T. A. Laughed of Alexis, ILL.,
From relatives it was learned today
that it was generally suspected that
Freel, who was aged 63, and Mrs Nc
Coy, who is so, were intending to mar
ry, but the couple had succeeded in
giving them the slip, and had it not
been for Mr.. FreePs sudden death they
would have surprised their friends by
returning as man and wife. Mr. Freel
was born in Mercer county in 1S47,
and he lived there the greater part of
his life with his mother, who died
several years ago. After that he sold
the farm and moved to Little York,
where later he became acquainted

targets without miss. He has made
straight runs shooting at flying tar
gets of 1850, 1889, 1929, 49,
219, without a miss. Mrs. Topper
vein is also a wonderful shot among
her scores being 90 out Of 100 flying
tergets. Besides this they both do

UNKNOWN BURBANK
LABORS IN WYOMING.

Wyoming has the honor of claim
ing among its citizens one who
equals if he does not excel the re-
nowned Burbank of California. The
latter gentlemq discovered a method
of breeding new varieties of fruits,
flowers and vegetables. The Wyom-
ing man has produced new varieties
of grains much superior to anything
existing before. His first expert
ment was with the seed known as
Black Russian emmCr, a winter grain
resembling barley which is known
as one of the best stock foods grown
in this country and is particularly
adapted to semi-arid conditions,
Professor Buffum has produced a
grain of much higher quality and
greater yield than the original. He
has also carried on experiments
with wheat with the same success.
He has succeeded in taking the beard
off this latter grain and has in
creased the production per acre three
or four fold. His experiments with
alfalfa ara equally wonderful as ne
las succeeded in evolving a foraGJ
plant that grows nine feet high and
of much greater tonnage He is now
experimenting with the clover family
and he hopes to breed a variety
which will be in great demand all
over the country.
Professor Buffum has been quietly
at work during the past four years
in making eXperimC nts, all of which
he has kept to himself until success
has crowned his efforts. His eX-
periments with small grain and for
age plants win be of great benefit
to the agricultural world in general.
The professor is still young man,
not yet having passed che prime of
life, consequently much can be ex-
pected from him during the next few
years. He has in the past rendered
valuable service to the agricultural
experiment station connected with
the Wyoming state university. Four
or five years ago he, with associates.
founded an experiment farm in the
Big Horn basin in Wyoming. This
farm was intended 10 supply seed of
superior quality and the experiT ents
have been successful.
