his own obituary and to know just how
much some people think of him. John
Kathan not only was but still is one of
the most prominent campaigners in
Iowa. While at the Elma races driv-
ing Prince H. he was thrown by the
breaking of the hobbies and the driver
who was trailing him smashed into into
the wreck. 1t was thought for a time
that Kathan was killed. But he wasn't t
and it was after he was taken to his
Usage home that he was reported to
have died and the fact was quite ex-
tcnsively published. Mr.. kathan has
many admirers in Mason City and his
son who is Mayor Of Usage, was tele-
phoned asking the time of the funeral.
To the surprise of his friends the may
or called his father to the phone and
answered the query in his good natured
way that cards to his funeral had not
yet been issued, that he was feeling
good and would greet them at the Ma
son City races June 27-2S.29.

Winneshiek Saloon Petition.

The Decorah Journal states that the
new saloon petition in that county was
filed last Saturday with 1904 names,
and also list of lag voters at the last
election who have since died or left the
county.
The saloon men claim that these
LAG names should be subtracted from
the 4, S32 names on the fall book be-
fore calculating the Is per cent. neces-
sary for good and sutIi cient petition.
If their claim is correct the IS per
cent. will be figured on 1855 names.
If it is not. it must be figured on 1882
names. In the first case 3,O46 names
are enough and the petition filed Sat-
urday is sufficient and contains AZ
names more than required. In the
second case 3,14l names are required
and the petitioners are AZ names short
of the required number.
