This was too much for Brudder

have a called meeting that afternoon.
After the point was discussed at the

RamShackles Must GO.

Every ramshackle building located
in the business districts of any city
or town in Iowa must go. This is the
ultimatum of State Fire Marshal Roe.
The law, he holds, was intended to
increase fire prevention, and he be-
lieves that the way to do it is to COM
pei the destruction of fire-traps in
the cities and towns.
Oskaloosa, Knoxville, and Chero-
kee will be the first places to feel the
effects of the new law. Orders have
been given that all the ramshackle
buildings in those cities, located close
to or between large business places,
be destroyed at once.
"The way to prevent fires is to get
rid of places where the fires start

Edgar Rowell Badly Hurt.

Edgar Rowell, son of DIR. and Mrs.

ed last Friday. During the summer
vacation he has been assisting at the
Burlington depot and at noon was
riding up town on the express wagon
in company with Edgar Ketcham,
the operator at the depot. AS the
wagon passed over the crossing at the
M. A. Gammill corner on south Main
street, the jolt caused a pile of empty
bread boxes on which the boys We're
riding to fall off and they fell to the
ground. Edgar Ketcham alighted
on his feet and was not injured, but
Edgar Rowell struck the hard road
on his head, and was quite badly in
jured, suffering a confusion of the
brain. He was placed in Frank
Marshall's cab and taken to the home
OF his uncle, c. NJ. Ketcham and DR..
Bowman called, and later in the day
was removed to his home. Aside
from numerous bad bruises and a
sprained arm, the injury to his head
was the worst, and the sight in one
eye has been paralyzed ever since the
accident, but the attending physician
Is in hopes that it will pass away in

TRIED A new SWINDLF
Sharpers Tried to Secure Charlton
Farmers Money, but are Fooled
by the Bank Officials.


Mr.. Henry Bickford, we'll known
farmer now living in Charlton,
came near getting swindled on a re-
cent trip to Sioux City. While there
a gang of sharpers got acquainted
with him, and learned from the hotel
register where he was from. They
evidently got the names of some Of
the lawyers here from a lawyers
directory, for when Mr. Bickford left
| Sioux City going west, stranger sat
down beside him and engaged him in
conversation. On learning that Mr..
Bickford was from Charlton, he
seemed glad to learn it, as he said
! he knew lawyer here, Mr.. Enos An
derson. He said he had bought some
land of Enos, and wanted to send
him a payment. He asked Mr.. Bick-
ford if he had blank check on a
Charlton bank, and Mr.. Bickford
handed him a check on the Savings
Bank. That showed the sharper
where Mr.. Bickford did his banking.
In a few days an inquiry came by
telegram signed by Mr.. Bickford at
Sioux City, asking what his bank
balance was here, saying he expected
to buy property in Sioux City. The
bank officers here thought it was I'M
like Mr.. Bickford to send such an
inquiry, so they did not reply to it.
A few days later check for $500
signed with the name Henry Bick-
ford" came to the bank by express,
but the officers were then convinced
that there was fraud and decided to
wait for Mr.. Bickford's return
Soon came a demand from Sioux
City, via the express company, for
the immediate payment of the check,
or suit would be commenced. The
bank sent back word to 60 ahead and
sue. On Mr.. Bickfords return the
check was identified as forgery,
and nothing more has of course
been heard of the matter. The
rogues hoped to get the money before
Mr.. Bickford got home, but their
work was too coarse and was defeat
ed by the Savings Bank officers, for
tunately.-Chariton Herald.

She came with her parents to Decatur

For more than SO years she has been
faithful to her Lord and Master,
growing stronger in the faith as the
years have come and gone Her life
was altruistic. She found a joy in
doing good to others. Even in the
last few weeks of her life, though
weakened and emaciated with dis
ease, she did not forget to express
her appreciation of the kind deeds of
neighbors and friends. Her last ILL
ness lasted for about two months
after which she was called up higher.
She leaves to mourn her departure
one sister and one BROTHER Zone sis
ter and one brother having preceded
herr two sisters-in-law, nine nephews
and eight neices besides a host of
friends, all of whom testify of her
love and faithfulness.

tian church after which the remains
were tenderly laid to rest in the
