CLAUDE JOHNSON
KILLED BY TRAIN
WELL KNOWN oTTUMWAN MEETS
DEATH AT BURLINGTON AT j.
1o:3o LAST NIGHT.

Claude Johnson, son of the late e. F..
Johnson, residing at 200 West Park
avenue, was found in a terribly
mangled condition on the brake-beam
Of the baggage car of Burlington No.
1 at West Burlington last evening
about 1890 o'clock. The message OF
his death has come as great shock
to his relatives, since he left them on
his way to Peoria, ILL.,, only yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Johnson left Ottumwa
yesterday on Burlington No. 6 and the
message of his death came back to
his home hardly twelve hours after
ward The remains will be brought
back to Ottumwa and inferred here.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
as yet been made. The Burlington
Hawk-Eye gives the following details
of the tragedy:
The brakeman Of No. made grue-
some find at the West Burlington sta
ton about 1890 o'clock last evening.
He thought that he heard peculiar
grinding sound and had the train
stopped and proceeded to investigate.
On the brakebeam Of the baggage car
he found the remains of man. They
were removed with some difficulty and
placed on flat car and brought to the
city, where Coroner Prugh took charge
The body was In terrible condition.
The back of the head was missing, the
right arm had been cut off at the
shoulder and the left at the wrist. The
back was badly lacerated. One foot
was cut off at the ankle, the other leg
was cut off lust below the knee. Most

Papers in the pockets OF one. OF the
garments proved the unfortunate to
have been Claude Johnson, who had
been employed by the Lagomarcino
Co. at Ottumwa. He was tall, we'll
built young man twenty-five years old,
and carried excellent recomm enda-
tions. He had his marriage certificate
with him and 1t showed that he had
been married at Ottumwa to Pearl
Pierce in November 1909
How he came to his end Is not
definitely known, and perhaps never
will be- 1t is supposed that he had been
in Burlington, perhaps looking for en-
ployment, and that he was trying to
get back to Ottumwa, perhaps trying
to ride the trucks. 1t is not impossible
that he had been killed by some other
train and that the brake-beam gath
cred up the remains on the track, but
railroad men incline to the belief that
the unfortunate man had been riding
the trucks and had fallen to the track.
1t is suggested that he might have
been struck by the engine and then
picked up by the brake beam.
Coroner Pugh had not decided this
morning as to whether or not an In
quest would be held. 1t will be sad
news to good people in Ottumwa, for
the papers in his possession indicate
that the dead man was good, reli-
able. trustworthy and industrious citi-
zen.

 It is further asserted that they are already looking into the matter ot water supply for the operations of next year and BonanZa creek is said to be the favorite.

 The present control of Flat has to do chiefly with the owners of claims. for they have nearly all come into the fold. Some of the laymen are holding out, but each day they are being persuaded to lis ten to reason and another two weeks will see them in the band wagon.
 Having put half Nelson on Flat the corporation is turning it's atten- tion to Otter. and has opened nego- tiations with Riley X MarstOn, the chief ground owners on that stream. This deal will take some time to close, but in the meantime they have acquired control of Granite and con siderable ground above Discovery through the purchase of the Martin.

Through cOnsummate tinanciering skill, the invading corporation has accomplish ed an extraordinary coup which gives them the right to look every claim in the eye without spending any money for the privilege. They will. however. spend money for labor in the next two months and they will spend plenty, because they wish to lay Flat creek bare to the human eye before the first of Au- gust.
 In this work they will be assisted by the laymen, who are going ahead with their operations as though nothing had happened. Some of them are getting cold feet, but the major ity are desirous of taking out what gold they can, knowing they will be paid a good figure for their operat-

How to Reduce Weight.


Cut out the food!
This is the real secret of fiesh-losing.
II the body is not overfed it is bound to
thin, because dieting is distasteful to
most Of us when we try every other cure
first.
One reason for this distaste of food cut
ting is that it has been overdone. 1t is
less necessary to go on rigid diet or to
starve for days, as is often advised, than
to reduce greatly the daily amount Of
food.
II you want to get thin, cut out the de-
cidedly starchy, flesh making foods, such
As potatoes, rice and beets, and go in for
ecid fruits and hot water; but do not
make your own life aud that of your
hostess miserable by being diet faddist.
Instead, eat sparingly. Reduce the
quantity OF food at each meal rather than
the kinds Of food you eat. Make rule
not to let yourself get stuffed feeling and
to avoid eating between meals.
Try for . month to get up from the
table hungry. You should lose pounds.
II you can cut out one meal entirely with
out feeling discomfit, do SO.
No fixed rule can be had for dieting,
and it is never safe to starve ones self or
to become q nuisance about what you eat
Chronic dyspepsia and shriveled skin
will be the penalty OF lack of nutrition.
Far better to be fat.

STATUS OF THE TEACHER.
Seventy-Eight Per Cent. of Public
School Instructors Are Women.

Seventy-Eight Per Cent. of Public
School Instructors Are Women.
Statistics regarding the financial and
social status OF public school teachers IN
this country have been gathered for the
teachers college OF Columbia university by
DR.. Kaufman. The statistics cover seven
teen states, with seventy-five counties,
towns or cities, none with more than
100000 population. About 5000 individ-
ual cases were covered in rural, town and
city schools, and the selection OF locali-
ties was made so carefully that, it is said,
no serious question can be raised that the
results faithfully reflect existing condi-
tions. Were all the States covered, there
is little reason to think the general per
centages would be greatly modified.
To begin, it Is interesting to note that
70 per cent. OF public school teachers are
women and % per cent. men. Of the men,
50 per cent. and Of the women A per cent.
are children Of farmers; Is per cent. of
the women are daughters Of storekeepers
and 16 per cent. daughters Of artisans.
Regarding the incomes OF homes from
which teachers come, it is found that
women who teach come, as q rule, from
homes where the standard OF living is
higher than that OF those from which the
men come. The average income of q
woman teachers home is found to be 1913
year, where the men come from homes
with an average of only $3.50 year,
though it is said that these represent the
incomes Of farmers whose wealth cannot be
estimated merely by the cash income.
Comparing city and country teachers, it
is asserted that the relative number Of
women increases in passing from country
to town or city. There are about twice as
many women as men among country
school teachers, but in the towns there are
about five times as many and in cities
about fifteen times as many. Only per
cent. Of the men who study for teaching
are city born or begin their teaching in
the city.
There also is constantly increasing
difference between the salaries of men
and women in rural and city schools. In
the rural schools the men average only
1890 a year, which is about per cent.
men average 1918 year, which is % per
cent. more than women. In cities men
average 1919, which is 81 per cent. more
than the average woman receives.
The low salaries paid women teachers
all over the United States, contrasted with
the uniformly high grade Of service which
they render, it is said, is comment on
the over supply OF women teachers. From
the figures collected it would SEEM possi-
BILE to get an almost unlimited number Of
women teachers at what scarcely could be
called living salaries. 1t is stated that
evidently most women teachers live at
home and their salaries are expected
merely to assist in the family support.
On the question OF equal pay, it is in
teresting to note that, as a rule, cities
pay on an average twice as much to men
as to women teachers, partly because
even in so-called .'equal-pay" cities, most
Of the higher positions, with their higher
salaries, are held by men.

COUNT ARRESTED
 FOR ABDUCTION

Vienna, June s.-(Special.) )-Count Otto kar Wickenburg, a member of one of the most distinguished noble families In Aus tria and cousin to the minister of the interior, has been arrested on the charge of abduction of a beautiful girl, who is a minor. Accompanied by the girl he ap- peared outside Count Wiczel1s country mansion in Polish Ostrau. Eilsea. Leaving the girl outside Count Wickenburg entered and asked to see Count Wiczek and on learning of his absence, begged the stew ard to advance him some money. The steward compiled. but being doubtful about Count Wickenburg's statements, telephoned the police who awaited him at the park gates'
 The police, who detained the couple, state that both appeared dusty and tired Count Wickenburg established his iden- tity only to learn there was a warrant out against him for the alleged abduc- ton to Frauen Rosa Grass from her parents home at Eger, Bohemia. Tine couple are said to have .eloped some days ago and remained in hiding until their money was exhausted. The police have restored the girl to her parents.
