THE WILEY CASE.

IL OolNCAAb HA NONS - " NON0N
the issue in the Wiley case. 1t is
announced from Washington that the
chief chemist will not be dismissed
from the government service. The
President was led into one trap
by the selfish interests when he GUST
ed Clifford Pfnchot as chief forester.
Pinchot was working on the side of
the people against the powerful cor
porattons that were seeking to get
control of the government lands. He
was in their way and they set about
to get him removed. They finally
succeeded, but such a fuss was stirred
up in the accomplishment of it, that
the interests have not dared to use
the advantage, if they secured any,
hat they have gained.
DR.. Wiley, like Pinchot. has been
fighting on the side of the people. He
has carried on a relentless campaign
against food adulterators and quack
concerns. He is the father of our
pure food laws and he isd9ing his
hest To- @ge that these laws afN,fS
O-z.-. &c Iir ootfVitU lion o.
this line, those who nave Deen grow
ing rich by defrauding the people in
this way set about to have him re-
moved. just as the land syndicates
got rid of PinchOt. But you cannot
fool all the people all the time. The
Pinchot affair is still fresh in every
ones mind SO that as soon as the
Wiley case came before the public
there was a cry from one end of the
country to the other and the noise
readily penetrated the walls of the
White House.
The remarkable feature in the
whole proceeding is the fact that {
committee would recommend, and
the recommendation should receive
the sanction of the attorney general
that a man who has done such goot
work for the government should be
dismissed from the service on 81
himsy a charge. 1t seems that DR.
Wiley has employed certain experts
in his Investigations in getting at the
fake food products. These expert
chemists come high. Congress, in it,
wisdom, decided to limit the salary
that could be paid to such experts
When this limit was fixed one of the
men who had been giving DR.. Vile!
valuable assistance said he could no
afford to continue at such a price. II
order that he might not lose the ser
vices of such a man altogether, ever
though congress had clipped hi
wings, DR.. Wiley engaged the exper
at the yearly wage as fixed by law
but made it so that the man neet
work only a certain number of days
| thus the expert would continue t.
get satisfactory pay for services rem
dered.
All this, it will be observed, wa
done in the interest of the peopl,
that a valuable assistant might b.
retained In the service.
But because DR.. Wiley had takel
this action, he was accused of violat
ing the law and charges were pre-
| ferred against him. He was founc
guilty and the committee or person
ell, which did the investigating, rec
commended that he be permitted t.
! resign" and that the expert be dis
missed. thus getting two good mel
out of the way at one time. In thi
recommendation Attorney Genera
Wickersham concurred.
What a farce! All the good worl
DR.. Wiley had done for the govern
ment in the past was overlooked an,
because he had technically, perhaps
| violated the law in order TO retail

MYSTERY NEAR LEMARS.
Plymouth County Sheriff Investigate
ing a Peculiar Poison Case.

LeMars, Ia, Sept. 2S.-Sheriff P.
Arendt is investigating peculiar
case of poisoning which has come to
light in the east part of the county.
Henry Kemp, a farmer, about ten
days ago was taken seriously Ill af-
ter taking a drink of whiskey. A
doctor from Remsen was summoned
and brought him around all right.
An examination of the jug from
which the liquor was taken showed
a quantity of strychnine. Kemp re-
membered buying some strychnine.
1t was thought then the poisoning
was accidental. On Friday, while
Kemp was at the Sioux City fair his
wife, coming in from the field in
the afternoon, prepared some coffee,
of which she and her year old son
partook. Shortly after they were
taken violently i'll and physician
was called and administered anti
dotes. The examination discovered
paris green in the coffee pot. The
affair was reported to the sheriff
yesterday and he is making an in
vestigation.

4 Narrow Escape.

John Shydegger had a narrow es-
cape from death Wednesday morn
ing. He was crossing the railroad
track near the factory, while the
freight train was switching" and
when the engine and some cars came
his way. he apparently waited until
they were so close that they would
not stop, and then stepped onto the
track. The car struck him and he
was picked up and taken to his nome.
Dr. Hadsel was called and found the
man severely bruised about the head
and face. The wounds were dressed
and the injured man is now resting
as comfortable as possible. Mr.. Shy
degger is very hard of hearing and
it is believed that this, in a measure,
accounts for his accidents. Some
years ago he was struck by hand
car and the car was derailed and the
section hands dumped in the ditch.
A year or so ago he was struck by a
freight train and so badly injured
that he was taken to a hospital for
treatment, and now, this last acct
dent. 1t would seem that Mr.. Shy
degger has more than his share of
trouble with the r. |. rolling stock.

A GREAT PACK.
Independence Company Puts up Two
and One-Half Million Cans and
Pays Out $1,000 For
Labor.

The independence Canning Cor
poration completed its run for the
season of 1911 on Tuesday of last
week. The work was practically
wound up on Saturday evening, but
another run was made on Tuesday
in order TO give several farmers an
opportunity to clean up their fields
of sweet corn. The factory turned
out about 100000 cans of corn
more than last years pack, making
the output this year nearly 1850, 200
cans. The wages paid out to en-
ployees for the four weeks the fac
tory was in operation footed up to
about $4,000. Prior to this time
the company spent 5000 for help
while constructing new buildings at
the factory. The yield of corn this
year has averaged about 3 tons to
the acre, the farmer getting 81 a
ton, and, in addition, he gets the
fodder, which makes the finest kind
of food for his stock. This is one of
the concerns which is bringing
money into Independence and spend
ing it here. The manager is H. G..
Kelley, and first assistant is Jacob
Wackerbarth.- Bulletin-Journal.

then disappeared as effectually as if
the earth had swallowed him. He
refused to say anything about him
self, where he had been, what he
was doing or anything that would
give his sister any definite knowledge
of him. They talked over family af-
fairs and that is about all. Friends
have been eXerting every effort to

AN INVENTOR.
Glenn Letchenberg of Festina Invents
a Hay Loader.

Glen Letchenberg of Festina in
vented a hay loader, which he sold
on July s, 1911, to the Rock Island
Pillow Co., of Rock Island, ILL.,, for
100000 Early in the year Mr..
Letchenberg worked out the princi-
pie of the machine and later built
one, giving it a try-out during the
haying time. 1t worked so perfect
ly that the Rock Island Pillow Co.
bought it from him to use as a pat
tern for machines they will put on
the market. A representative of the
Rock Island Pillow Co. witnessed the
operation of the machine in the field,
and after several trips to Rock Is
land to demonstrate his patent, Mr..
Letchenberg returned from Rock
Island a week ago, and will go back
in the near future to give instruc-
tions in the construction of the ma
chine, after which they will be built
and put on the market.-Bee.

Auto Accident.

Last Friday evening at about ten
o'clock, when Lauritz Kittlesby was
coming home from Ossian in his
auto, accompanied by Ross Luzum,
Theodore Winger, Henry Stenseth
and Clarence Peterson he steered the
car to the side of the bridge just
this side of the Jayne home and
went into the ditch, and the sudden
stop threw Henry Stenseth out of the
car over the glass front. Lauritz
says he was coming at a good clip
and did not realize he was off the
grade until he got into the ditch.
They were mighty fortunate to get
off as easily as they did. Nobody was
hurt and the car not as badly dam
aged as might be expected. A rear
wheel was broken, the radius rod and
front axle bent and the glass in the
front racked.-Calmar Courier.

Burglary i'm Westgate.

w. II. Tops store was broken in
to Monday night and three suits OF
mems clothing, sweater coats and
other wearing apparel to the amount
of over 500 were taken. Entrance
was made by breaking the glass in
the back door and drawing the bolt
day, Monday, a couple of hoboes
were in town and made a few pur-
chases at the store. Upon finding
the store robbed Mr.. Topp suspicion
ed that they were the guilty ones,
and that they would likely head for
Oelwein, he notified the authorities,
who succeeded in rounding up fell
low whom Mr.. Topp identified as one
of the thieves. He wore one of the
three missing suits, also a sweater
coat taken from the store. The suit
had been ordered by DR.. Sparks and
had his initials sewed in one of the
pockets. The prisoner seeing him.
self fairly caught stated that he had
stood guard while two others had
gone into the store and that they
gave him the clothing. They caught
the blind" so he stated and as it
was so crowded he could hardly stay
on, he got off at Oelwein expecting
to take the next train and meet the
other two at Dyersville, but there be-
ing no trains out he was caught as
stated above. He gave the authori-
ties a description of the other two
and an officer was sent to Dyersville,
but up to now, Wednesday noon, we
have not heard if the others have
been caught or not.
Just as We go to press today it is
reported that the other two were not
found in Dyersville, but have been
traced to Chicago where it is thought
they will be found at an address fur
nished by the one in jail.-West

ter birds being found in their game
sacks. The fine for killing a meadow
lark is $40 for each offense.-Mail
