Buenos Aires Is very much unlike
our American cities. In the first place.
there are no sky scrapers. The high
est building does not exceed seven or
eight stories. Then there are miles
upon miles OF streets with buildings
OF one story predominating. 1t Is laid
out in rectangular blocks, average
about 400 feet on each side. The
streets are narrow. and even in the
residence section they are generally
built clear up TO the street line. The
principal business streets. such as
Florida. Cuyo. Cangallo. Bartolome
Mitre. San Martin. 25th OF May. etc.
are only 80 feet wide. and you viii

FORMER MAHASKAN SUICIDES.
NO REASON IS KNOWN TO RELA.

David Owens, Superintendent Of Say.

o'clock by severing an artery in his
throat with razor. No reason is

cred that his brother had ended his
| life. Further than that David was
more quiet than usual during the ear.
lier part of the evening, and that he
seemed to have something on his
mind, the surviving brother can give
no reason for the act. A note was
found in his notebook telling what
disposition to make of the money
that he had In the bank and asking
that he be buried in his old home
town, Givin, Iowa,
The note was as follows: Butch,
tell John to get the money out of the
bank to bury me for I am gone--at
Givin. Goodby to all.-Dave Owens"
The broken allusion to Giyin is
taken by members of the family to
mean that he desired to be buried
there, and this wish will be carried
out.
James Owens said last night that
he had left the house for little
while after supper and had returned
about o'clock, when he found David
in bed. James went to bed right
away and was soon asleep About 10
o'clock he was awakened by a call
from David stating that he was dying.
Investigation by the brother proved
that he was near death at that time
from loss of blood.
Coroner Lee was Immediately call
ed and arrived shortly after II
o'clock. He examined the body and
stated that in view of the surround
ing circumstances that he did not
think that an inquest was necessary.
1.-THE deceased was well known in
and about Oskaloosa, Beacon and
Givin. He was son of the late Dav-
id Owens. who passed away about a
year ago at the home of his daughter
Mrs. Ben Bosley, in Des Moines, and
who for years operated store at
Givin, the old family home, and where
the boys first had knowledge of the
coal business. David, jr., has worked
in numerous mines of the Mahaska
field and was a competent and reliae
BILE man in all ways. He had charge
of several mines and served as pit
boss" for years. He was a prominent
member of the welsh Colony of
Mahaska and had scores of friends
in the community who are shocked
and grieved at the untimely death.
No known cause for the act has been
discovered. Deceased was about 40
years of age and was one Of a family
of several boys and girls, among
them John, James, Mrs. Richard
Thomas and Mrs. Ben Bosley, and all
formerly resided at Beacon, Givin or

VERY RICH NEVER GENEROUS
They May Give Away Their Money.
but Never Themselves, Says
@. X. Chesterton.

There are two other odd and rather
important things to be said about
them. The first is this: That with
this aristocracy we do not have the
chance of lucky variety in types
which belongs to larger and looser
aristocracies. The moderately rich
include all kinds Of people-eyen
good people. Even priests are some
times saints; and even soldiers are
sometimes heroes. Some doctors have
really grown wealthy by curing their
patients and not by fiattering them;
some brewers have been known to
sell beer. But among the very rich
you will never find really generous
man, even by accident. They may
give their money away, but they will
never give themselves away; they are
egotistic, secretive. dry as old bones.
To be smart enough to get all that
money, you must be dull enough to
want It. "" a. "r' At.' ''t *-s'
lastly, the most serious point about,
them is this: That the new miser is
fiattered for his meanness and the
oiue Ou0 never WdSa III was uoNcf
called 'selfldeniallin the, old miser that
he lived on beans. IL IL called self
denial in the new millionaire II he
lives ON beans. A. man like Dancer
was never praise as a Christian
saint for going in rags. A man like
Rockefeller 10 praised as a sort Of
pagan stole for his early rising or his
unassuming dress. His simple
meals. hiss simple clothes, his,
Simple" funeral, are all extoiled as
II they were cfeditable e, him. They
are dissraceful TO him; exactly as dis.
graceful as the tatterS and vermln of
the old Iniserr were tiisgracefuli to him.
To be inragsfor charity would be the
condition of a saint; TO be In, rags,
for money was that of ar filthy old
fool Precisely In the same way, to
be simple" for charity II the state
Of saint: TO be- simple for money

IOWA AT Big CATTLE SHOW
STATE COLLEGE EXPERTS Elk.
PEcT THEM TO WIN.
Been in Former Years, They Are
Much Better This.

Ames, Ia, Dec. Especial: Iowa
has produced some great fat cattle in
its time. but never a finer lot than
was shipped from the Iowa State col
lege barns this week for exhibition at
the International Live Stock show in
Chicago. There never were choicer
sirloin steaks and roasts than these
animals carried with them on their
great broad backs and i'll their solid,
massive bodies. They were in fine
condition for the competition and the
men in charge expect them TO hold up
the good record of the college.
The fat cattle herd comprises sew
entecn animals, entered in the pure
bred Shorthorn, pure bred Angus, and
the grades aud crossbred classes. AT
the head of the Angus steers Is
Shamrock III, worthy successor of
the two other Shamrocks who carried
off the grand championships in their
time. He is twO-year-Old. The
one-year-old of this group is splen-
did animal known as Ito, and the baby
of the herd of three is Quality Prince,
chunky block OF baby beef as broad
as it is long.
Quality Goods. two-year-old, heads
the Shorthorn steers; with him are
John Bell, yearling, and Benedict, calf,
all three the finest types OF beef ami
mails.
The pride of the college herdsmen,
however, is Victor, wonderful grade
Angus steer and perfect specimen
of beef animal. His back is as broad
and even as a table top, full of choice
cuts of meats. His neck is small and
his legs only long enough, making for
the least possible waste in dressing.
He left the college barns in fine trim
and he ought to be one OF the feat
ures of the show Blackstone. an
other two-year-old grade, comes a
close second. The yearlings are good
animals, but not quite as classy as
the two-year.olds. The baby OF the
herd, a roam heifer, is wonderful
block OF meat She Is only about 10
months old and weighs LOO pounds.
AS she suckles her nurse COW, she
looms up the bigger of the two.
Forty head of swine were shipped
with the steers, all but four OF them
bred and reared on the college farms,
aud these four coming from Dean Cur
tiss' Lockwood farm. Four breeds
are represented, Yorkshire, Berkshire,
Poland China and Duroc Jersey. They
are all in fine condition. How SPLEEN
didIy they fattened under the skillful
care OF Wilson Rowe. herdsman. Is
illustrated by one of the Poland China
barrows, which put on $50 pounds OF
flesh in thirty days. six pounds aday.
Several OF the hogs will tip the beam
past the 700-pound mark when the
show opens. In the past the college
has won majority OF the grand
championships. Its swine arc 40 GOOD
this year as ever.

their dead Sunday afternoon at Elks
han and a large attendance gave
close attention to program Of inter
esting detail Opinion was voiced by
some who have been present at sew
eral Of fhe services from year to
year, that the services were the best
and the most impressive that local
Elks have ever held. Everything in
connection with the program was OF
incest character, from the musical
numbers, which were of an eXcep-
tionally high character, to the memo
rial address delivered by Hon. Frank
A. o'Connor, of New Hampton, Chick
asaw county. Musical selections were
handled by an orchestra known as the
Orient Six, under the direction of Ed
Bowen, together with numbers by the
Penn College Quartctte and a vocal
