IOWA CONNECTS IN BATTLE.
MurderOus Assault by Man With
Knife May Cost Other His Life
Officials Withhold Names
of the Two COnVicts.

Anamosa, Ia, Feb. 27.-One con-
Wet lies at deaths door and another
er is slightly cut about the body and
hands as the result of a knife fight
which TOOK place at the Iowa State
Reformatory here last night. The
authorities refuse to give the names
of the men who engaged in the
fight, but state that it was over a
grudge of many years standing.
The two were working in the
laundry at the reformatory at the
time, and started to dispute over
their private difficulties when no.
body was around. They first came
to blows when one of the men secur-
ed knife that lay upon one of the
tables and started after the other.
This man was caught rather UMPIRE
pared for the murderous assault and
sought to defend himself with a pair
of shears that were used in the
laundry.
This proved to be a poor weapon
of defense and his efforts to get his
hands upon it may cost him his life.
While turned towards 1t the other
stabbed him in the back with the
knife and laid open one of his kid
neys. AS the other turned to de-
fend himself he was again stabbed,
this tiIne in the neck. The knife
Just missed the juglar vein. Other
cuts were administered, but he did
not seriously injure the man with
the knife, who suffered only a few
minor cuts. The wounded man is
in the hospital, but no hope is held
out for his recovery. The other is
in irons at the reformatory.

DRUGGISTS HIT BY INJUNCTION
Seven i'm Floyd County Made De.
PENDANTS Under the Mulct
Law.

Druggist Carragher of Rudd, is
the only druggist of Floyd county
who escaped the wholesale injunc-
ton restraining order sworn out by
Mrs. E. B. Nichols of Rockford
through her attorneys, M. S. Odle
of Des Moines and E. r. Acres of
DEBORAH. There are seven druggists
in the county. The law provides
that a resident of county can bring
such action instead of the state and
it comes directly before the court,
instead of having to come before the
grand jury for indictment.

Loses Thirty Hogs.

Farmer Besh, few miles south
of Denver, had an expensive expert
nence the past week when he lost
y thirty hogs. He had moved his old
house for the hogs to use as rest
ing place. One night fifty or more
OF the hogs crowded into one of the
smaller rooms and the door closed
so that they could not get out. The
next morning Mr.. Besh found thirty
OF his fine hogs piled on top of each
other and suffocated. This means
quite a loss when hogs are $3.50
per hundred.

Tho Standard Yard.

In 1855 there was completed a gun
metal bar, representing the imperial
standard yard Of Great Britain. 1t was
found, however. that standards made
OF bronze or gun metal were liable to
an appreciate alteration in length
through molecular and other changes,
and accordingly q few years ago, the
imperial standard was replaced with a
bar Of iridio platinum, consisting Of 80
per cent. platinum and 10 per cent.
iridium.
This new alloy is less alterable than
bronze. The new bar was made of an
Xshaped cross-section to combine
rigidity with comparative lghtness,
and for one year 1t was subjected to
q series of tests and measurements in
volving the most refined methods
known to science The bar has marked
on 1t the length both Of the standard
yard and Of the standard meter.-Har-

F. A. ROBBINS CIRCUS
Comes Monday, August I4th-Is a
Wonderful Attraction

Here is what the Millville, New Jer-
sey, Daily Republican says of the big
circus which comes To Belding, Mon
day, August Nth.
Frank A. Robbins Circus had re-
cord breaking attendance at both shows
yesterday. Every seat was filled last
night and straw was brought in and
laid around the ring in front OF the seats
for some TO use and many stood up.
Too much praise cannot be said of the
excellence of the performance. There
were of course all the old features so
common TO circuses, but there were
many new and striking novelties.
The only criticism heard was that
there was so much going on that one
got tired trying TO see il all. The show
was remarkably clean one. There
was nothing not even in the side shows
TO offend the taste of anyone. Good
order was maintained. The animals
pleased the little ones, the music by the
band was excellent, and today the
small boys have been heard trying to
whistle some of the music. Every
thing was on sale, the same old time
red lemonade, and popcorn was not
forgotten, nor fans and cigars. Every
body is praising the care that was taken
TO make everyone comfortable.

New York-More high life for Het-

Green, II is understood, will reside

No one will undertake to say how
long Mrs. Green will remain at the
Waldorf. For there were predictions
when she moved irto the Plaza lit
tie over year ago that she had
thrown economy to the winds. She had
done nothing OF the kind. High life
palled on her and she went back.
But Colonel Green is hearty man.
who can't be held under a bushel nor

several days at the Waldorf with her
son and she seemed to like the life

TRAINING IN GOOD MANNERS
Begin Whom Boy 10 Young, and Po-
likeness 10 Bound to Become
Second Nature.

Long before / had any sons of my
own l made up my mind that. II

derstand anything. to teach him the
small things that constitute good man.
ners. So many boys l have known,
and men, too, who at heart are good
and kind and really refined, yet lack
so large part of the little courtesies
that 1t Is hard to believe they have
been well brought up. In most cases
II Is the fault OF the mother. She
feels that 1t 10 much more important
to form the character of little boy,
that his manners can wait till he is
older. The result Is that one sees
boys and men who rarely forget to be
polite outside Of their homes, and yet
seem to think It unnecessary to treat
their own mother In the same way.
My view Ia that there is no need
to neglect the character because you
pay attention to the manners. l think
l have succeeded. As soon as my first
little boy wore trousers ! taught him
tina he must take of his hat as soon
as he came into the house or when a
lady spoke to him in the street. That
he must rise from his chair when
came at the dining table, must never
walk out Of the room before a lady,
and all the other little polite ways we
like to see In men. 1t has never been
any trouble to keep him up to these
things; he learned so young that it
soon became second nature.-Harper's
Bazaar.

knocking proceeding from one of the
storage boxes underneath a Pullman
car. He opened the box and was as

The boy, who appeared to about 16
years old, told the pilot that he had
climbed into the box at Ell Paso. Tex,
and had intended to remain there for
ride of about fifty miles. At the next
stop. however, train inspector shot
the bolts, fastening the lid of the box.

GOOD NERVES OF GAMBLERS
Equipment, Without Which Sue

1T has always been held that steady
nerves are about the most valuable
qualification a man can have TO fit
him for playing poker successfully"
the gray-haired young looking man in
the club smoking room said. THE
man who allows himself to get ratified
under any circumstances when he is
of the other fellow. But If this is true
now In New York 1t was more conspic-
uously and prominently true some
twenty or thirty years ago In some
other parts of the country. And espe-
cially was 1t true with regard to pro-
fessional gamblers.
There is a widespread belief that
a professional gambler will not hest.
tate to cheat at poker IL he finds he is
not likely to win a square game. And
IL this Is true here and now, as l be-
lieve 1t to be, 1t has certainly been true
at times and places In which public
opinion tolerated II II did not approve
killing the man who was caught
cheating at cards. That is precisely
what public opinion did in many parts
of the United States not 80 many
years ago.
"All this being understood, II is easy
to realize that the profession Of card
playing In the west called for the exer-
else of such nerves as the average
man has not. He who adopted It was
almost obliged to be skilled In the use
of weapons. and as matter Of fact
the most of the professionals were 30
skilled.
