OIL ALL R0AOBED
COMPANY is TRYING OUT AN Ex-
PERTINENT THAT WILL 30
AWAY WITH DUST.

The roadbed of the Burlington road
through Ottumwa, and in fact from
Chicago to the western terminal. will
be free from dust If an experiment
now being tried near Chicago proves
a success Oiling the roadbed Is to be
tried by the road and the experiment
er's Grove and Naperville, where de-
vice attached to large oil tank will
sprinkle the liquid over the roadbed
This system will quickly sprinkle the
oil where required and will prove far
more successful than If the work was
done by hand.
The officials, will try out the expert
ment for the purpose of laying the dust
and are Of the opinion that it will do
away with the disagreeable annoyance
of dust and cinders. There is every
reason to believe that the test will
prove the success that it is expected
and that it will not-be great while
before the entire Burlington sys-
tenn will be treated in the same man.
ner where traffic is heaviest.
Ottumwa will receive attention
eventually and In the early future the
Burlington will be recognized as a
dustless and cinderless system. Al

looking to the comforts of its patrons,
the Burlington never fails to install
the best there is in any line to insure
travel pleasure and comfort.
Work on the Burlington road is pick
ing up. Spring operations are opening
brightly and new cars have been or
dered to better facilitate the handling
of the larger crops of grain expected

MAKES ATTEMPT
TO TAKE OWN.L|FE
MRS. EMMA PARLEE DRINKS
WATER IN WHICH MATCHES
HAD BEEN SOAKED.

Despondent over domestic troubles
and the fear Of having to give up her
two little children to their father,
Mrs. Emma Parlee made q fruitless
attempt at suicide last evening about
5 o'clock at her home on Bardell
street, by drinking a glass OF water
In which she had soaked innumerable
match heads. NeighbOrs discovered
the attempt almost Immediately and IN
a. very few minutes two physicians
were on the scene. A stomach pump
was brought into play and the poison
GUS fluid was removed from her stom-
ach. Although quite sick for some
time Mrs. Parlee seems to have made
rapid recovery as she was up and
abou. this morning, apparently IN
injured.
\ Domestic trouble was the main
cause Of the attempt. Her husband,
Harry Parlee, who chased Thomas
Trumble through the streets Sunday
afternoon, with gun, came from Des
Moines to take the children away
from their mother since It Is said
that he heard they were not rece'ving
the proper care. Mrs. Parlee could
not part with them and the other
troubles brought upon her, was the
cause of her dependency.
Another cause of her attempting
such a rash deed was the fling Of
statutory charges In the court OF
Justice Of Peace j. w. Berry against
her by her husband. Thomas Trumbie
is named as the correspondent In the
case. The hearing Is set for next
Monday morning at 8. o'clock. The
husband will make an endeayor TO
gain custody of the children

VERM|LYA N|OMAE'S
CASE REMARKABLE

Chicago.-"Mrs. Louise Vermilya,
who was arrested on charges of having
murdered Policeman Bissonette by
poisoning him, made a daring attempt
to commit suicide by taking a mineral
poison.
''It is my belief that Bissonette was
given arsenic day by day, even while
l was treating him, and finally he was
given enough to overcome all at
tempts by myself and consulting ply
sicians to stimulate him and killed
without our knowledge what the trou-
BILE was" was the statement issued by
DR.. F. A. Van Arsdale, the physician
who attended, Mrs. Ve1milya during
her recent illness and who prescribed
for the policeman before he died. For
the first time it furnished a direct
connection between the widow and
the last of the nine deaths that have
occurred beneath her roof in the past
Is years.
1t everything which is declared to
have taken place proves to be abso-
lutely correct, then Mrs Vermilya' S
case presents one of the most re
markable instances of criminology in
the history of crime.

Berlin-The downfall of Chancellor
Won Bethmann Hollweg and Foreign
Minister Herr Won KiderlinW aechter
is predicted as a result OF dissatisfac-

German Moroccan agreement.
The agreement includes the recog-
milton by Germany of a French pro-
tectorate over Morocco and the ces-
sion by France of $50 900 square kilo-
meters of French territory IN the
Congo. Though this ceded territory
is inhabited by 100000 negroes and
has a commerce valued at S2,40O,O00
yearly, Germans charge that certain
rights in Morocco which are surren-
dered through the agreement are
worth more to the German nation.
