WOULD PARDON
WAR VETERAN
Legislature Asked to Grant Liberty
70 orman MCPHERSON, Doing
Time for Murder.

Last Saturday marked the four
tenth anniversary Of the entrance Of
Orman Mcpherson into the state peni-
tertiary al Fort Madison.
That is nothing unusual, because
many men before him have celebrated
such an anniversary. But McPher-
sons case is different. for he is the
only veteran Of the civil war now
serving time in the state penitentiary.
It is for this reason that his case is
attracting considerable attention from
the yetc,ans Of the war at this time.
They are engaged in an effort to have
him pardoned. The board Of parole
has passed on his case and has de-
MED him parole. The fourteen
years which he has served is prac.
tically the same as twenty-five
year sentence, az thirteen years and
six months actual service ends Q
twenty-five year sentence.

HANNIBAL. Mo, March 3o.-This
will be news to the fans.
According TO the Hannibal Baseball
association. Manager Jake Beckley is
going TO play first base this season,
regardless of the different stories be-
ing circulated that he was going to
lead the club from the bench. Many
fans have been wondering whether
he was going TO play first or not. OF
course we need his hits and every
body knows that Beckley is there
when it comes TO playing on the initial
sack, The first base station is well
filed with Beckley and Hannibal fans
will have no cause to worry any more
Jake will arrive in Hannibal some
time next Monday and he will no
doubt lave a lot of good news for the
local fandom. Jake is all ready for the

charged soldier of the rebellion. He
was a member Of Company G. Nine
teenth Iowa infantry volunteers. He
was sentenced for the murder of the
town marshal of Morning Sun. 1t is
claimed that the murder was the re-
suit of dispute over a girl.
The friends of Mcpherson are
urging his pardon on the ground that
he has proved a vel, behaved pris,r IL
er, that he is an honorably discharg
ed union soldier who showed his will
ingness to give his life for his country
and that If he is discharged he car
be placed in the soldiers home al
Marshalltown, where he can enjoy
his few remaining years a free mar
in the country, which he offered tc
give his life to save.
1t is doubtful If the legislature car
be induced to take any action on the
case, as there is a general disposition
to let the state board of parole have
entire charge of these cases. Friends
are hopeful, however. that someone
in authority will make an investiga
of his case and interest himself in
his behalf

There is in State of
Iowa

Frederick Weyerhauser the lumber
king, reported seriously sick at st.
Paul, is declared by the eastern press
to be the richest man in America.
He Is said to own 30000,000 acres of
timber land, an area one-fourth great
er than the farm lands OF Iowa, and
covering 1856 square miles, which
is over five times the size of Massa-
chusetts.
Furthermore, Mr.. Weyerhauser is
alleged to have acquired this wealth
through the operation of laws that
We're put through congress while the
country slept. In 1872 he and his
partner, f. C. A. Denckman, Tri-
City lumberman in whose honor a
rafter was named on the Mississippi

large timber areas in Wisconsin and
adjoining states The Weyerhausei

Senator Fulton of Oregon, allowed
Weyerhauser to exchange 10000
worthless acres of this land for 81
600 acres of excellent timber land,
throwing into the bargain rights and
franchises worth with the timber 49,,
100000.
How much of this story is true we
don't know Perhaps the eastern pa
pers which have printed it don't
know But it is certain that Mr.
Weyerhauser is very rich man and
that he created none, of the vast
wealth he owns. 1t is all the gift of
nature and it would seem that in an
equitable distribution of the gifts of
nature it should belong to the people
and not to one man
However, Mr.. Weyerhauser has
been an excellent conservator OF this
wealth. He mourns every stick of
lumber that is wasted by fire or bad
methods Of cutting. He has an am
bition to preserve the timber for the
benefit of future generations. He re-
CARDS himself as the steward OF the
wealth that has come into his hands
and will survive him and for years
he has been casting about for ways
and means of devoting his fortune

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their unceasins Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
fer is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness. hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel. disorders of the eyesight and
hearing. dizziness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
