tenders brought to the station. They
were: Wilbur Johnson, Harry White,
Chas. Gaskin and Ned Terry. The
quartet and a woman who was mixed
up in the rag chewing" match which
as going on for some time before the
police arrived, were each sentenced
to thirty days in the city jail.

INQUEST WAS
UNPRODUCT|vE
coroner's Investigation Failed to In
cover Anything of sensa-
tionaI Character This
Morning.
HARRINGToN's DEATH
Officers Were on Witness Stand, But
Testified to Matters Of an
Immaterial Ma
ture.

The inquest over the death of Den
mis- Harrington, who died in the city
jail late Sunday afternoon, was con-
Quoted by Coroner Fred Korschgen
this morning, and was filled with evil
dence of an immaterial nature.
Doctors A G. Dimond and F.
B. Dorsey testified that Harrington
came to his death from actue alcohol
ism and heat exhaustion, while num-
Der of officers testified to arresting
the man and being called into the cell
after he was dead. The probe was
not directed at reported negligence
in taking care of the prisoner and
was of a most perfunctory nature.
The inquest throughout was simply
the officers story of the mans death
without any attempt at more thor
ough investigation. A member of the
fire department, who is credited with
having told one of the officers that
Harrington looked like he was suf-
fering from the intense heat as we'll
as from alcohol when brought to the
station, and that doctor might bene-
fit him, was not asked to tell his
story even though the coroner's office
had knowledge of this fact, so 1t is
reported.
The witnesses who testified were the
following: Officers L. G. Fuqua,
Frank Baldwin, William Wilson, ]. w.
Pearson. Fireman Harry Tigue, Mrs.
Lizzie Harrington, Frank Hill, e. w.
I.indstrum. DR.. A. G. Dimond and DR.,
F. B. Dorsey The officers told of the
mans arrest and of inquiries made
CONCERNING his condition during the
afternoon When the police next were
notified, the prisoner was dead, this
being shortly before six o'clock. Mrs.
Harrington told of the condition OF
her husband during the hot spell, say
ing that he complained on numerous
occasions of the heat. Once during
the proceedings she interrupted the
examination to censure the police force
for neglecting to notify her OF MI.
Harrington's death at an earlier hour,
delay occurring in doing this.
The coroner did not subpoena other
prisoners of the city Jail. but private
stories told by them tend to bear out
the testimony of the police. Jailer
Yeager ridicules the idea that any,
thing could have been done to benefit
the prisoner, for his condition was
not known to the police when Har-
rington was brought in, he says.
Composing the jury were J. II. XII
roy, J. T. McEvoy and c. F. Samuels.

COATLESs MEN BARRED
FROM FORT MADISON
Without Dress suit for Evening and
Conventional Costume for Noon,
Travellers Must Go Hungry
Up There

Fort Madison is rapidly advancing
in its progress to become a great city
as a result of the water power dam
here The latest improvement there
is an edict that everybody in the
other county seat must wear full dress
for dinner in the evening and be prop
erly CARRIED for luncheon at noon.
A Keokuk attorney discovered these
facts the other day. He is a man con-
sidered rather particular in his tastes
here, and somewhat model of de-
corum. One of the days when the
mercury was in the attic of the Their
mometers, this Keokuk lawyer went
to Fort Madison on business and left
his coat at home. At noon, he went
to a hotel for dinner-they call 1t
luncheon in Fort Madison-an at the
dining room door was quietly told
that coatless men were barred from
the hotels since the big dam is
reality. The lawyer went to another
hotel with the same result and in
ouiries about boarding houses not
promising relief from hunger without
coat, he finally bought a sandwich
at a counter and ate it in the park
while the police were not looking.
1t behooves the short waist con.
tingent to take coats along when go
Ing to Fort Madison for the day; and
dress suit must not be omitted, if one
is to stay all night in the ar1stocratic
city of the penitentiary and the fine
river bank park.
According to the Chicago papers,
however, sans coats is good form this
RUNNER in the other great city of the
middle west.

Isn't This Heart-Rending2

One Murphy. now comes along
and tells us of the awful conditions
confronting us in the matter of pro-
perry mounting our soldiers. That
there are not nearly enough saddle
horses in the country to supply
mounts for our army He wants
your Uncle Samuel to buy thorough
bred stations and station one in
each county aud make service free
then agree to buy the colts, for
army service.
He deploreS the anti-racing laws,
for they are responsible for the
exit of the running horse that has
caused this awful calamity to the
mounts for our soldiers.
Now, Uncle Murphy, has not our
experiment stations, colleges of
agriculture, up-to-date farmers, and
the up-to-date farm press caused
the exit OF the running horse?
Our morse that may supply the
army will be as good as those of
anybody elSe's army, and our horses
could run as fast as those of any
other army.
1t is "a fact that the running horse
is responsible for many Of our
cheap horses, and our best farmers,
and experiment stations have been
putting him out, and l think wisely,
as fast as they can Scarcely one
in a hundred is worth his feed so
far as practical utility goes, as
where it now comes to undoing the
work of making a high utility Of
the horse, Unjust say l am "agin it. :"

less grating. He didn't tempOrize
but in'his.zealous fight for the pub
lie good he dealt sledge-hammer
blows wherever he found rotteness.
After a time the editor went
broke He left town, in debt be-
You'd all hope of ever getting out.
The public, for whom he had done
such valiant service, tailed to sup-
port him. The same public had
patted him on the back and urged
him on to fight lis battles. But
when it came down to going into
its pockets for the necessary where
withal to support the newspaper
that was making sacrifices in taking
up the cudgel in behalf of the pub
lie, that was another question.
Cases like this lead us to believe
that the public, while perfectly will
ing to take all the moral uplift that
can be obtained without cost, will
not pay out the real money for it.
The people must have the news
that's a necessity and will pay for
it, but moral uplift is apparently
looked upon as a luxury that can
be easily dispensed with if it costs
money.
1t is very unfortunate that this
is true, as the press is thus prevent
ed from rendering great aid to need
ed reforms. Shelbina Torchlight.

Copper, China and Brass Designs.
The newest designs in china re-
veal a lavish use CT gold, not only
in the border of the dishes but in
large floral and conventional designs
The patterns for the most part are
simple but striking. Among those
carried out Solelyin gold. the Orient
al. Greek and Byzantine effects
predominant. EloMered china shows
the graceful garland decoration or
trailing vines, with heavy border
effect
A new ware has appeared which
promises to become very popular in
odd pieces such as sugar and cream
er, chocolate set or odd plates. 1t
is china completely covered with
gold or silver, which may be wash
ed like other china, with no danger
of the deposit wearing off, The
shapes are unique and very attrac,
tive.
Copper and brass are steadily
gaining in favor, both for use and
decoration. The tea or coffee set
in brass is in much favor. A punch
bowl and glasses in hammered cop
: per is one of the new ideas in this
line. Fern dishes and small window
boxes in copper are much liked
They are fitted with removable
