Three Killed in Anti.War
Demonstration in Italy

ROME. Sept. %, via Modane'
France, Sept. 2s.-Three persons have
been killed and many wounded Mt Par
ma. as the result Of the anti-war dem
onstrations, which are spreading
throughout Italy. A procession OF
workingmen, carrying banners bearing
anttwar sentiments attempted to
block the passage Of q regiment or re-
serves enroute TO the barracks. The
demonstration was peaceful, but the
off,cer commanding the troops drew
his men across the street and ordered
them to fire. Three volleys were
fred at short range. but most OF the
soldiers. having little heart for the
work. purposely aimed high or low
and the casualties were not as great
as was expected.
Advices from other sections OF Italy
tell OF similar occurrences. The gov
eminent has issued orders to the
troops that all street demonstrations
OF an anti-war character are to be
sternly dealt with. The Socialists and
the union leaders, however, defy the
authorities and say they will continue
70 organize the general strike. Hand
hills attacking the attitude Of the gov
eminent and demanding that the
working people refuse to support
ACTS OF aggression that can only en-
rich the moneyed class and further
impoverish the poor" are being widely
circulated.

WALTERS PINCHED
Charged With Violating The Local
Option Law

William Walters was brought before
Justice, A. l.. Spencer Tuesday by Dep
uty Sheriff, q. +. Webster, charged
with furnishing liquor to other parties.

CATHERINE BROWN

Mrs. Catherine Brown died at her
home Saturday aged eighty-one years.
The deceased had been in very poor
health for the past year or two owing
TO a general breaking down of her sys-
tenn and for week or ten days had
failed steadily. She was the widow OF
the late Abiram Brown, of Courtland,

sixty-nine years, after two years of
constantly failing health, although
able to be up and around the house and
about the grounds.
Two weeks ago he was taken worse
and il was at once noticed that the end
of life was drawing near. Mr.. Luce

than forty years. AT the call of his
country he enlisted and went into the

Complimented Her

AT the Farmers Instute and Corn
Contest meeting held in Ionia last week
the session was an interesting and
instructive one. The Standard has this
to say Of one OF the speakers, "Mrs. A.
l.. Benedict, OF Belding, proved to be a
very interesting speaker She kept
everyone present absorbed in her remarks
on "Liftingthe Race Higher" Anum-
Der Of methods for so doing were pre-
sented and discussed by the speaker,
who in general thought that the desired
conditions could only be brought about
by higher plane OF thought and liv-
ing by the parents OF the present day
child. The environment Of today will
govern the plane of living tomorrow.
Among the subjects brought out by
Mrs. Benedict were abolishment OF the
saloon and its ever attendant gambling
houses, etc. The instituting OF bible
reading in the public schools and hon.
esty in school life was urged"

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
Francis ID. Fuller Loses Life by Fall
ing Into Steaming Tank at Basket
Factory

One of the most terrible accidents
that has ever occurred in this city took
place at the Ballou Manufacturing
Company's plant Wednesday morning
about nine o'clock, when Francis Full
ler fell into the tank full of hot water
used for steaming the logs before being
used for manufacturing baskets. He
was using pike pole to get some logs
in position for hauling them out of the
tank with the graphing hooks when
in some manner he slipped and fell
headlong over the edge of the tank
into the seething mass Of water. The
splash was heard by VIM. Wright and
Mr. Eberhard who rushed to his assist
ance just as he was coming TO the sur
face, and both grappled the unfortun-
ate man and pulled him out. He was
at once taken TO the engine room
where his clothes were changed and
hack called to take him home
Drs. Stanton and Little were sum-
moned and found him very badly
scalded on all parts of the body and
also having inhaled considerable steam
and hot water into his mouth and lungs.
They at once concluded he could not
survive the shock, and after lying in
great suffering until about eight o'clock
in the evening he passed away, having
kissed his family and hidden them
goodby before lapsing into unconscious
ness, knowing that he could not live.
He leaves wife and eight children,
five boys and three girls, and came here
about year ago from farm near
Howard City. The funeral will be
held at the home Friday afternoon and
the remains taken to Coral for burial.
Mr.. Fuller carried life insurance of
81 900 in the Ben Hur order. An in
quest will be held with coroner's jury
before 4. b. Lapham.
A purse of one hundred dollars was
made up among factory men and others
for the immediate relief of the grief
stricken family.

Primary To Be Held Next
Week To Decide On
The Man
A PERTINENT QUESTION
Who Should the Republicans of Ionia
and Montcalm Counties on We'd
nesday, March 1, 1911, Nom
mate for Circuit Judge
And Why1

The answer to both questions is easy
of solution.
The Republicans of the Eighth Judi
cial Circuit will show their wisdom il
they nominate Judge Davis.
The reasons why they should nomi
nate him are many and sound, but
chief among them all is the high re.
spect in which he is held by the people
at large, the men who know him best,
and the attorneys who have practiced
before him.
In circular letter sent out by his
opponent dated February 10, he at.
tempts TO make capital of the fact that
the attorneys are for Judge Davis, and
claims that he has never asked any OF
the attorneys TO support him because
he don't want litigants TO think that
having failed to employ the lawyer
"nearest' the court they lost their case.
II Judge Davis is nominated and elect
ed there can be no such thing as law
yer nearest the court. That there new
er has been is established by the very
fact that they are nearly all with him.
1t must be apparent that where a
large number Of attorneys unanimous
y endorse judge for denomination
that he must have been fair to all. He
can have no favorites for every lawyers
reputation and business depends upon
his success with his clients interests,
and if the court should fail 10 be inn
partial or fair no one would resent il
quicker than the lawyer. Voters should
give no weight TO such claims. A mo-
ments consideration must make plain
is is unfair. The lawyers represent their
clients, and the clients are the people,
and as long as the lawyers unanimous
ly acclaim the fairness and integrity of
the judge, the people will never have
cause TO complain or feel that the Judge
is under any special obligations to any
one or that he has any favorites.
Mr.. Griswold also claims that he is
not politician, but not long ago he
was candidate for prosecuting attor-
ney on the Democratic ticket, and also
sought the nomination for congress on
the Democratic ticket. His sudden and
numerous changes within the last few
years perhaps is the reason he has so
small following in the Republican
party TO day.
1t is an old trick of unscrupulous pol
iticians TO circulate false stories against
his opponent when il is TOO late to de-
fend himself against the same. Cen
orally the very fact of their late publi-
cation stamps all such stories as false
Judge Davis has lived in Ionia county
nearly all his life, and it would be very
strange indeed If he could hold office of
public trust for all the years he has,
and il such claims of unfairness or dis
honesty had any foundation, in fact,
that same thing would not have been
said about it before this late day.
Voters of Ionia county pay no at
tention TO roorbacks. Stand by the
man we all know and you will make
no mistake.

FRANCHISE TALK
BY IOWA CITY MEN
Representatives Appear Before Presi-
dent Justice and Ask for Han
nibai Franchise.

John Sueppel and John G. Fink of
Iowa City. Iowa. came to Keokuk per
sonally Saturday to negotiate for
Central Association franchise. They
present a strong argument In Iowa
City's favor. the outstanding of
which is an ability to summon finan-
cial assistance to the extent of $40.
GOO upon days notice. The Iowa
City men were told that the Hannibal
franchise could not be secured at this
time, as matters had been satisfai-
torily arranged. They then turned
their talk to next season The matter
will be taken up at the October meet
Ing, although it is said they may en-
ter negotiations with Hannibal with
view of getting in this season.
However. The Gate City can hardly
see how city situated as lows City
is, would be an advantageou one for
the Central Association to annex at
the present time. Minor league base
ball magnates, especially now that
baseball is not flourishing as three
seasons ago, have come into full
realization of what it means to have
circuit that is spread ont. Under
revision that may be worked out next
season Iowa City might be included
with desirable results. That the city
is live one and good baseball
town cannot be denied at this time.
