W. D. STANLEY STRICKEN
DOWN WITH PARALYSIS
And Has Been Unconscious At
His Home In Hamlin Township.
Little Hope OF Recovery.

The many friends of w. d. Stanley
of Hamlin township will be very much
surprised and grieved to learn that on
Tuesday morning he suffered a paralytic
stroke and perhaps the rupture of a
blood vessel in his head His left side
is totally disabled and his condition is
considered very serious. We under
stand that he went down to the river
to direct some neighbors how to get
across, but before they had reached the
opposite side he called and motioned
for them to return. They did so but
before they reached his side he had
fallen helpless to the ground. They
carried him to his home and did all they
could but he soon lapsed into uncon-
sciousness in which condition he re-
manned until after noon Wednesday.
The children have been notified of his
condition. Mr. Stanley was in Audu-
bon Monday in his usual health with no
premonition of the sudden and serious
attack he would suffer within twenty
four hours. He remains in about the
same condition this morning.

Grand Jurors.
Gave A Fine Entertainment.

We copy to endorse the following
from an exchange concerning the de-
lightful entertainment given by the Old
Southern Sextette at the Opera House,
Tuesday evening.
The audience was charmed with
the program. Every member was an
artist in his line. Many pronounce it
the best musical entertainment the
town has ever enjoyed. The contralto
possesses marvellous voice, undoubtedly
embracing two octaves and very sweet
and mellow. The pianist also showed
wonderful skill. But it is difficult to
single out any particular member and
say he or she was the best. The bass
showed wonderful range and the
tenor constantly gained in favor. The
soprano possesses remarkably sweet
voice, clear and full of melody. The
second alto gave excellent support and
in her readings was twice encored.
Her selection from Dubar, the noted
Negro poet, was especially pleasing. "
They are educated ladies and gentlemen
who are an honor to their race.

JUDGE DEEMER IN RACE
FOR ELECTION AS SENATOR
Senator Young Has Withdrawn In
Favor OF Judge Deemer Who
Received ~ Votes On
Wedue sdav

There was something doing in the
legislature at Des Moines yesterday.
Senator Young agreed to withdraw
when his supporters suggested that the
name of Judge Deemer be presented as a
compromise for breaking the deadlock
which has existed now for nearly a
month. The Funk men and most of the
Garst men joined with the young sup
porters and cast AZ votes for Judge
Deemer, Kenyon received 46, Garst 3
and Sammis 3. Judge Deemer is big
man in every way and would make a
senator worthy of the state. The pre-
sentation of his name by the combina
ton of standpatters and progressives
named above should lead to an election
before many days. And if he should be
chosen there would be no contest at the
primary of 1912 and no doubt of his
election for another term.

present piers are not large enough for
the huge new steamers that are being
constructed in England and other coun-
tries.
1t being a condition, not a theory,
that confronts New York, many plans
are being hatched to permit the con-
struction of longer piers near by to
prevent the leviathian steamers from
seeking ether ports, such as Boston
and Philadelphia, which might accom-.
modate them
Foremost among these projects is
the construction of a new city by the
sea at Montauk Point, the eastern ex-
tremity of Long Island, ia miles from
New York, and at present train jour.
ney of some two hours. Matters have
gone so far that Congressman w. w.
Cocks of New York has asked for a
survey of Fort Pond bay as prelimi-
nary to making Montauk Point port
of entry. One of the big railroad COM
panies and some prominent capitalists
are said to be behind the movement.
The development Of Montauk into a
new port for New York was dream
of the late Austin Corbin, the pro-
jector of the railroad which now COW
ers Long Island, twenty-five years ago.

The Womens Club had large attend
ance at their meeting Wednesday af-
ternoon. The program was unusually
fine and the childrens part was well
sustained. Miss Wolfe read an instruc-
tive paper on the subject of 'Dust as,
Health Peril" Many women followed
in discussion on the accumulation OF
dust. Public buildings and homes crit
icised. Methods for eliminating unneces-
sary dust advocated. Candies, dates,
and eatables displayed for sale, unpro-
tected make good germ catchers and
offer easy access to the stomach and
bowels for the bacilli of tuberculosis
which may be floating in the air. Dust
as a conveyer of disease is worth think
ing about was the concensus of opinion.

length, ample until a few years ago.
The new steamers will be nearly 800
feet in length, and the war deparf
ment declines to permit pier extension
because of the narrowing effect it
would have on the river. The steam
er interests have considered the posi-
bilities of Montauk, Staten Island and
Boston, but have made no decision as
yet. They are awaiting final action
from the United States government.
Approximately 10000 acres Of wood
land, sand dunes and rolling hills,
embracing an area of about twelve
square miles of land, six interior fresh
water lakes and thirty miles of coast
frontage along the Atlantic ocean and
Long Island sound form the area af-
fected by the proposed transformation.
Fort Pond bay is the center of the
plans. This is natural harbor, hav-
ing a depth of sixty feet Of water. 1t
is claimed that with steamers landing
at Montauk instead Of New York eight
hours would be saved and the dangers
of the voyage along the south shore
of Long Island eliminated.
1t is proposed to run through trains
from Montauk If the harbor plans ma
terialize, this being made possible by
the East river railroad tunnels, and 1t
is asserted that passenger from
abroad who desired to reach San
Francisco quickly could save half a
day by taking a train at Montauk. 1t
Is ALSO claimed that transferring OF
mail would be greatly expedited, as
It could be sorted on mail cars en-
route to New York.. saving almost a
day In handling.
Even II the Montauk plan is adopted
It will be some time before the city Of
the sea arises. 1t would take two
years to build the necessary piers and
to double the present railroad facili-
ties. Then an act of congress would
be required to establish a port and
construct a breakwater.
