ONE MANS SUCCESS.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora. April TO- Many Of the daily
papers Of late have contained articles
relative to what some OF the older men
OF Iowa have accomplished in the
years gone by and there have been
many Of these and along varied lines
of effort However. when compare
lively young man has acquired some
thing OF place in the affairs Of the
world and largely by his own efforts
this. too. is worthy Of note.
June II. 1869. boy was born to Mr..
and Mrs. B. D. Robb, In this city. The
little fellow as the days went by never
wor. prizes in any Of the beauty con-
tests that were frequently put on In
those times for beauty was not one of
his strong points. Time passed and
the boy was sent to the Eldora public
schools. When Young Robb was In his
teens Charles McKeen Duren. presi-
dent Of the Hardin county bank. was
DESTROYS OF securing the services OF
some one to do odd errands about the
institution and he asked the backward
boy one day If he would not like the
place. At first the boy hesitated. but
finally consented and his first work
was that OF sweeping the floors OF the
building and carrying the mail. That
was in May. 1854. and Robb was found
so prompt, faithful and cheerful In his
work that when a vacancy occurred In
the bookkeeper's department he was
given the place. The years passed and
Robb was elected cashier of the insti-
tuition by a unanimous vote of the d.
rectorate. A little later and his fellow
citizens elected him councilman from
the Fourth ward. then elevated him to
the POSITION of mayor OF Eldora, both
Of which positions he filled with credit
to the place and honor to himself. He
continued his work In the bank mean
while until State Auditor Carroll. who
later became governor. wanted man
for state bank examiner and he asked
that Mr. Robb take the place In this
position Mr.. Robb served several years
and was asked by State Auditor Bleak
ley to continue at the post, but de-
clined because of business interests.
Shortly afterwards there was a va
cancy in the office Of national bank ex-
amlner In Iowa and Mr.. Robb was Sc
lected by Lawrence o. Murray. comp
troler Of the treasury at Washington.
Is filing today with distinction and
credit.
Mr.. Rubb was faithful when the
president of the bank intrusted him
with the work OF sweeping the floors
of the institution and was true later
in life when the same president put the
care Of the entire financial interests on
his shoulders. Aside from his work
in the bank Mr.. Robb has played
prominent part In the upbuilding OF
Eldora. Being largely II not entirely re-
sponsibe for the securing Of the Car
negie library in this city. When the
history OF Eldora is written the name
of Ellis David Robb will occupy
prominent place. for he has been un-
firing in his efforts to make his home
city one OF the best and prettiest places
in Iowa.

THIS MAN NOT A MORMON
Has Two Legal Wives, But Only
Wants One. Asks the Court
For Relief.

ATLANTA-R. L. Barron of this
city has two loving young wives, and
while he thinks a great deal of them
both he is of law-abiding DISPOSE
ton and opposed to polygamy, so he
has asked the court to relieve him of
one.
He was first married to Miss
Blanche Jones. Circumstances sepa-
rated them for while, and when he
went back for his wife he was told
that she had been operated on in the
hospital and had died. He grieved
for a season, and then married Miss
Matte Long, with whom he lived
happily until he learned that his first
wife was still alive and we'll.
Then he left the second wife and
went back to live with the first wife,
who still loved him dearly. He pro
poses to stick to wife No. l if the
court will let him, and has asked
that the second marriage be an
nulled.

POLITICS WAS NEVER QUIETER
BROWN AND SMITH NOT IN PRES.
IDENTIAL CONTEST HERE.
-ieaaI Prejudice Will Control
80 x'nly Few. Opposition
V One Comfy Office


With tne county and presidential
primaries only ten days away politics
were never before as quiet, nor the
people seemingly as little interested,
in Terrell county.
The only county office for which
there is opposition is sheriff, and al
though two well-known and popular
gentlemen are in the race the usual
interest and excitement among the
masses of the people are totally lack
ing, and the indications are that this
condition will continue until the
end
The presidential race has also been
very tame affair up to this time.
The coming of Governor Wilson of
New Jersey to Georgia has enlivened
things a little locally, but the average
voter has refused to put on the war
paint and whoop 'em up.
Congressman Underwood, the able
and popular party leader at Wash
ington, has a great many admirers
who are openly espousing his candi-
dacy because of his conspicuous fit
ness for the presidency and that the
first opportunity is afforded in fifty
years to vote for Southern man
for that Office
Governor Wilson of New Jersey
also has followers, but they are not
so sanguine as those of the Alabam-
ian. Because of Senator Hoke
Smiths activity in behalf of Govern
or Wilson some CT his friends try to
make it appear that it is an old fight
in Georgia again, but not q great
many are taking it that way. They
look upon it more as a fight between
the Organized democracy and the
safe and sane" sort. They look
upon Governor Wilson as the old
Bryan in new role, and while they
lieve that Congressman Underwood
not only represents the conservative
democracy, but he also represents
the conservative South.
Friends and supporters of Senator
Smith have in large numbers openly
espOused the cause of Congressman
Underwood as against Governor Will
son, and it is safe prediction that
Underwood will get a much larger
vote in this section than Governor
Brown received.
AS matter of fact, the lines are
not drawn between Brown and Smith
in this section. Some Joe Brown
supporters will vote for Wilson,
while a great many Smith followers
are supporting Underwood.

HAS DUCKS TO CATCH FISH
Feeling Bite on Line Tied to Legs
They at Once Paddle for Shore.
Imported From China.

MISUNDERSTANDING as prac-
ticed in China is a possible sport at
Lake Minnetonka this spring.
E. C. Best has bought nine Chinese
ducks from E. F. Hopkins on Com
mission Row, and will put. them on
the big pond at OrondO, Lake Mime
tonka. The Chinese tie a fish line to
the leg of trained ducks such as Mr..
Best las bought and put the ducks
on the water over the fishing beds.
When the trained duck feels tug
it paddles at once for the shore, drag
ging the fish.
The ducks are as strong as a goose,
says Mr.. Hopkins, and can pull fish
to shore easily.
The ducks are of blue-black body,
have grey breasts and red feathers
about Their bills. The ducks Mr..
Best has bought are young and haye
tufts of hair on their heads. AS they
grow older, Mr.. Hopkins says, the
hair disappears and the ducks get
red in the face and all over their
heads. The ducks ale something
entirely new on the row.

Maury met with them as near the
equator as 81 degrees south lati-
tude. On the north side of the equa-
tor icebergs are found only in the
Atlantic, never in the Pacific ocean.
They drift from their nurseries in
the polar regions with the cold cur
rents, which bear them southwardly
until they disappear in the warm
waters of the Gulf stream. The
Banks of New Foundland have long
been considered dangerous to navi-
cation because of the frequency of
icebergs.
From these figures it will be seen
how difficult it is to construct a YES
sci that could meet such an obstacle
and pass in safety. 1t may be that
hereafter the skill and genius of the
builders will be devoted to such
cases, for if vessels are to traverse
that region it is but natural that they
should be prepared for any emergen-
cy that may arise.

Webster's Weighed Twenty Ounces
More Than That of DIR. Musser,
the Heart Specialist

PHILADELPHIA brain of
DR., John H. Musser, the noted dag
nostician who died last Wednesday,
is not as heavy as the brain of a well
developed child, Notwithstanding the
fact that he was named as one of the
greatest experts in the country on
heart diseases. 1t weighs nearly 20
ounces less than the brain of Daniel
Webster weighed and twenty-four
ounces less than the brain of James
Fisk, the New York gambler who
was murdered years ago.
Scientists here consider the light
weight of the brain of DR.. Musser
extraordinary, but they explain it by
saying DR.. Musser developed along
one line, not broadening out in all
lines, and therefore not fully devel-
oping all parts of the brain.
DR.. Musser was one of little
group of scientists who agreed to
leave their brains to the Wister In
stitute of Anatomy and Biology. An
hour after he died DR.. Milton J.
Greeman, curator of the institute,
removed the brain.
The brain of DR.. Musser is the on
ly abnormal one in the institutes col
lection. Other brains in the collec-
ton are those of Drs. Joseph Leidy,
Phillip Leidy, Harrison Allen, An
drew Parker, William PETER, |. J.
Wister. w. K. Brooks, Waldemar
Kock, Edward Drinker Cope and Per-
sifor Frazer.

DRUNK TOO MANY H|GHBALLS
YOUNG ATLANTA Cno- Watkfn. s.
NARROWING EXPERIENCE.
Rat Woke Him From Slumber i'm a
Railroad Yard just in Time for
Him to Escape Death,

ATLANTA.-A well known young
Atlanta club man of occasional bib
ulous habits had an experience last
night that nearly ended in a trag-
edy. His life was saved By a rat.
After imbibing an unknown num-
Der of highballs at a downtown club
he wandered alone out into the street
about midnight, and where he STUN
bled he peacefully lay down and went
to sleep. He was awakened shortly
before dawn when a hungry rat
climbed on his neck He awoke in
a dazed condition and looked up.
The only thing he saw was a red
wall towering above his head on both
sides, and on one red wall was written
in white letters Central of Georgia,
1O468." He says he will never for
get the number Gradually it dawn
ed on him that he was lying in the
railroad yards with his head on the
rails between two freight cars.
He hastily arose and before he
had finished brushing the cinders
off his clothes he was Mortified to
hear a jOstling jolt and see the long
freight train beginning to move. If
the rat had come two minutes later
Atlanta would have had an unex-
planned tragedy, for it would have
been hard to figure out what reason
except suicide could have brought
about such quick death.
AS it is, the near-yictim has taken
the pledge.

MONSTER ICEBERGS At SEA
OFTEN MILES LONG AND HUN
DREDS OF FEET HIGH.
Are Frequently Grounded on the
Bottom of the Ocean. Where
They Come From.

The great disaster whereby one of
the largest and finest passenger
steamers in the world was sent to the
bottom of the sea, with many lives,
by collision with an iceberg lends
interest to those wonderful parts of
nature.
1t is not necessary to enter into a
detailed account of the causes of ice
bergs, but an idea of their size and
dangerous character may be gained
from a short sketch.
The source of practically all the
icebergs of the Arctic and sub-Arc-
tic waters is Greenland, from whose
ice-cap radiate off hundreds of gla-
ciers, the vast majority of which
at least, those of larger size-reach
the sea, either directly or through
the long fjords which extend twenty
to seventy miles into the land. An
idea of their size may be obtained
from the fact that off the west coast
of Greenland they not infrequently
rise ESQ or even 800 feet above the
surface of the sea. In such cases it
will be readily seen that from the
specific gravity of ice they at times
descend fully 1900 to 1900 feet into
the abyss of the ocean, and it is
known that sometimes the larger
beTgs become stranded" or anchor
ed at this depth to the floor of the
sea.
An iceberg observed by Sir John
Ross and Lieut.. Parry was two and
one-fifth miles broad and 1913 feet
high; it was roughly estimated that
this mass contained 150,000,000
tons above water, or a total of L.
500, 000,0 900 tons. This iceberg was
by no means considered an extraordi-
nary one. In the southern seas they
have been known to reach height
of 700 to 500 feet above the surface
of the water.
During his Antarctic voyage in
1841 Sir James Ross sailed $50 miles
along an unbroken barrier of ice; it
stood $50 feet out of water and was
aground in water 1900 feet deep.
Admiral d'Urville fell in with an
ice mass off the Cape of Good Hope
thirteen miles long and 100 feet
high.

BIG CROWD GREETED WILSON
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT ADJ
DRESSES GEORGIA PEOPLE.
Says Publicity Is Cure for Political
Ills. Touched But Little on Pres
ent-Day Political Questions.

OnG-DdJ II OllCAC6I QutStlOHSs
ATLANTA.-Woodrow Wilson re-
peated his attack on special interests
and their control of government,
called for return to democracy in
fact as we'll as in name and lauded
the South's industrial and political
rejuvenation before a great crowd
here tonight. 1t was the first i'm
portant address of his tour of this
part Of the South, and was made be-
fore an assemblage of nearly $500
persons who met in the local audito-
rum. One-third Of the audience
was composed of women and chill
dren, and among the remainder was
large number of supporters of 9TH
er candidates.
In handling the subject of big
business" he reviewed his dealings
with it in New Jersey since becom-
ing governor, and condemned a So
cial condition which would make the
directors of commercial enterprises
the directors of political matters of
both parties. The remedy to correct
this state of affairs, he asserted, is
the taking over by the people as a
whole of the geins of government,
both local and national.
Publicity, the governor stated, is
the best weapon to fight evil condi-
tions, as the public conscience. once
aroused by intimate knowledge of
things, could be depended upon to
do the rest. He declared that had
been his course in his own state and
would be his course in the future.
whether in or out of Office, as he had
dedicated his future to batting
the matters he spoke of.
Governor Wilson otherwise touch
ed but little on present-day political
questions. He referred only once to
tariff matters, advocating breaking
down OF what he termed artificial
walls"
He reviewed the apparent back
wardness of the South since the war
in assuming leadership in govern
mental affairs it's looking to other
sections for material in upbuilding
Its broken fortunes. That, he said,
Is all past, and the Southern states
are now taking their rightful places
IN the councils of the republic and
commerce.

his speech to the present campaign.
would bring into the service of the
national government men from
section stimulated but not corrupted
by present day conditions, CONNER
cially prosperous, but not in the
hands of Special interests" He paid
a tribute to the traditions of the
South, the homage to intellect and
old-time sentiment as something
greatly to be desired in this age of
materialism and disregard for preee-
dent; for" he said, principles that
live must be urtured in the heart
and not in the head" and 'the glory
of Americanism is the glory of sac
rifce for humanity"
