Martin answered. "But, by George,
like your style Of fighting, and If you
give me this opportunity III be square

During that campaign the fame of
Bob's struggle spread to the borders OF
his state and out into the nation. Men,

sues OF 6 national campaign, Iouh'

Steel City and ask themselves the ques.
tons: who and what is this grim, lone
ly figure fighting for the mastery OF
his city single handed against an ALI
ance whose tremendous power Is be-
ginning vaguely to be realized, and
what does his success portend2
The nomination won, Martin safely
elected and the county patronage SO
disposed as to riyet the weak points In
his machine, for so 1t must be called,
Bob was in the position of a mar who
owns all the water around a coveted
island, but not the island itself. The
county government was his, but the
city administration, the goal Of his eff
fort, was still in MacPherson's hands
and would be at least until the next
mayoralty election, more than two
years distant. Bob made tentative eff
forts to bribe Mayor Henry to q deser-
ton OF his boss, but Henry was loyal.
Many a long hour Bob spent over the
problem how to gain control Of the city
and complete his boss-ship. 1t was
Remington who suggested the method.
Martin as soon as indicted into office
began Il successful series of prosecu-
tons against election frauds and cor
ruption In the city councils-Bob's sup
porters were, according to agreement,

Matawan, Sept. 18.-Charles Eli
son, OF Morganville, was returning
home from Matawan Friday night
and between Freneau Station and
Morganville on the railroad track
met a man going in the opposite
direction. He saw he had a club in

to be in readiness If the occasion
required it. But on passing, the man
struck Mr.. Ellison on the head with

Mr.. Ellison struck at him with the

ing Adolph and Carl Baehne pull
stumps near this city Donald Madi-
son was. struck by the cable which
came loose and broke both of his
legs above the knees. He is young
man about fifteen years old and was
driving two horses hitched to a
sweep, to which there was cable
attached. The cable flew loose and
struck him. One leg received tri-
pie fracture and the other one re-
ceived a T shape fracture and the
knee was dislocated. His mother,
Mrs. Tom Mathers was in Charles
City at the time of the accident and
it was with difficulty that she was
located. She returned home at 7:45
in the evening. A doctor was sum-
moned at once and everything was
done that could be done and at $3.50
last evening the injured boy was
sent to Waverly where he will be
cared for at the hospital.

Brown wife of a prominent farmer
living a few miles west of Nashua,
was terribly injured in jumping
from a disc when the team ran away.
Mrs. Brown was driving four horses
to a disc which did not work well
and neighbor who was passing
along the road, told her to go to his
house and get his disc, which was
in good condition. This she did and
was returning to the field along the
public highway when the horses
started to run. Mrs. Brown is an
expert horsewoman, but she was not
able to bring the horses under con-
troll and to save herself jumped from
the disc but failed to clear it entirely
and was caught and badly hurt. She
received a long cut extending from
the thigh almost to the knee and
her ankle was broken.

New President For Ames.

Herman Schneider, head of the
engineering department of the Uni
versity of Cincinnati, at Cincinnati,
Ohio, has been offered the presiden-
cy of the Iowa state college at Ames.
The offer is said TO have been made
Mr.. Schneider when he was in New
York some time ago by E. w. Bow
man, president of the Iowa state uni
Versity, through the Carnegie Foun-
dalton, with which he was connect
ed.
1t has been thought for some time
that the board has been planning to
make the college at Ames more of
an agricultural school and less of a
university and leave that part of the
education to the state university. If
this is the case, a man like Schnei-
der would be naturally selected, as
he would build up great agricul-
tural school and leave the university
work for the state university. 1t has
also been pointed out that there is
not a more fit person in the United
States to take charge of the work.

A Poorly Planned Tour.

Manchester musical people who
attended the concerts given at Wa
terloo a couple of weeks ago by the
Sheffield Choir will learn with re-
greet of the abandonment of the
choirs world tour. 1t seems that
the business management of the
choir was about as inefficient as 1T
could be. The contracts were made
on a basis ridiculously out of pro-
portion to the value of the organiza-
tion as a drawing card. For instance,
we understand that Waterloo paid
but $4,000 for the concerts given
there, whereas the receipts were in
excess of $4,000. The result of this
and similar short-sightedness was
that when the choir reached Min
neapolis a shortage of $4,000 had
developed, wrangle with the
American manager, who must have
been the original chump, developed,
and the choir disguised and dis
heartened, decided to abandon the
tour and return to good old Eng
land. The outcome is regrettable in
every way, and must have been a
deep disappointment to the promot-
ers of the tour and to the individual
members of the chorus.

Death at His Work i'm
Waukon Mines.

Jonathan Barthell, aged As years
was instantly killed Saturday morn
ing when a gasoline car, carrying a
crew of men to the iron mines north
of the city, jumped the tracks a few
miles north of here.
Cause for the accident is unknown
but it is believed that the great rate
of speed at which the small car was
travelling is responsible.
Several other men had narrow es-
capes from death and that others
were not killed is nothing short of
a miracle.
When the car left the track Bar
thell fell in front of it and his head
was split nearly in two by the i'm
pact. Other members of the crew
rolled down an embankment but
aside from bruises and scratches
were not seriously hurt. Deceased
is survived by widow and three
children.

permitted to occupy a portion of
these coaches, but the cars have been
especially arranged to win the ap-
prevail and patronage of women. The
parlor contains easy chairs, sofas
and writing desk in a cozy corner.
Adjoining the parlor is an electric

4 Forty Pound Carp.

Ventura, Ia, May 22.-Russ Lam
bert thought he had had rub at
Alladin's wonderful lamp yesterday,
when he captured small whale of
a fish at the head of the lake. He
had heard fish stories all day long
since Monday and so he decided to
try hand at the game himself. Off
the beach in the bay the lake is
alive with fish, carp, buffalo and sew
eral varieties and number of peo-
pie have caught them in large num-
bers with pitch forks or even with
their hands. The fish come to the
bay during the sperming season and
lie there in such large quantities
that the bay seems fairly alive with
them. This was the place of Russ
Lambert's fish dream and here it
was that he captured a forty pound
carp with a pitch fork.

Baby Eats Paris Green.

The little two and a half year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Jer-
gensen was poisoned Sunday by eat
ing paris green. The little miss got
hold of some bread that had been
sprinkled with the poison to rid the
premises of rats and ate a piece of
it. The accident happened in the
forenoon and the parents were un.
able to get the services of a physi-
clan until toward evening but when
the doctor arrived he found the
child out of danger. The mother
had administered an emetic as soon
as she found it had eaten the poi
soned bread, and her prompt action
probably saved the little ones life.
