PREMIER IS ASSASSINATED
SHOT DOWN BY ANARCHIST ON
STREETS OF MADRID.
King Alfonso Rushes to Scene OF
Tragedy, Finding His Prime
Minister Dead.


Madrid, Spain, Nov. 12.-Jose
Canalejas y Mendes, the prime min
lister, whom Spain has regarded as
one of the greatest of her statesmen,
was shot and killed to-day by young
anarchist named Manuel Pardinas.
The assassin attempted suicide and it
was first thought that he was dead,
but when he had been carried to the
hospital he was found to be living.
No event since the throwing of the
bomb, at the carriage Of King Al
fonso, on May 81, 1905, while the
king was returning from the church
after his marriage, has caused such
general CONSERVATION and such pub
lie sympathy.
So far as can be learned at pres
ent, the assassination seems to be in
no way part of a widespread politi-
cal plot or revolutionary movement,
but an isolated crime for which the
exact motives remain obscure. The
assassin, who was of Spanish birth,
came recently from Buenos Ayres,
by way of Paris. Practically nothing
is known about him.
Canalejas was shot in the back
three times as he was walking to
the ministry of the interior, in the
Puerto del Sol. He had stopped to
glance into the window of a book
shop.
This morning he went to the Royal
Palace to submit several DEGREES to
the king. He emerged smiling and
happy. AS an attendant opened the
door leading to the street, strong
gust of wind struck the premier in
the face, causing him to exclaim
gaily:
"Oh, what a wind! We are going
to have a bad day."
The Fatal Shots.
About an hour later his uncon-
scious prophecy was fulfilled. AS he
stopped for a moment at the shop
window a man darted from nearby
doorway. He ran up behind the pre-
mier and fired four shots at close
range. Three bullets, as it was after
ward found, took effect.
Canalejas sank to the sidewalk. A
friend who was passing at that mo-
ment rushed up, crying: Done Jose!
Don josef" this being the premier's
baptismal name.
The wounded man scarcely hal
strength to murmur:
"The scoundrel has killed me-
He then expired.
In the meantime his assailant turn
ed the muzzle of the revolver on his
own breast and fired again. A crowd
quickly gathered, while the assassin
was half dragged to the police sta
ton.
The premier was carried to phar-
macy and then to the ministry OF
the interior, where he was placed on
large marble table in the main
saloon. The blood flowing from a
wound behind the right ear soon
formed a pool on the floor.
King Alfonso Arrives.
The king was informed of the
tragedy as he was leaving the palace
to attend the chrysanthemum exhi-
bition. He sprang into an automo-
bile and motored swiftly to the min
istry. AS he reached the Puerto del
Sol the crowd acclaimed him, cry
ing: Long live the brave king!"
Running upstairs, four steps at a
time, the king entered the saloon
and bent silently over the body of his
late minister. He was greatly af-
fected as he recited the prayer for
the dead and turned to the assem-
bled ministers to learn the details of

HAD SAMPLES
A minister who had been doing
missionary work in India recent
ly returned to. London for visit.
He was a guest at a well-known
hotel, where everything pleased
him except the absence of the
very torrid sauces and spices to
which he had become accustomed
in the Far East. Fortunately he
had brought with him a supply of
his favorite condiments, and by
arranging with the head waiter
these were placed on his table.
One day another guest saw the
appetizing bottle on his neigh
boris table, and asked the waiter
to give him some of Chat sauce"
'I'm sorry, SIT" said the waiter,
''but it is the private property of
this gentleman"
The minister, however, over
heard the others request, and told
the waiter to pass the bottle.
The stranger poured some Of
the mixture on his meat and took
a liberal mouthful. After a mo
ment he turned with tears in his
eyes to the minister.

pel?"

Halt Grown SeaeuA

A half grown sea-gull IN q al
most exhausted ard frozen condition
was found this morning in the alley
at the rear Of the new StuaTt BUILD
ing on Des MOines street and Is the
source OF much speculation as to how
it reached this part of the country.
The bird was found by August
Schultz, one of the carpenters ON
the Stuart building, who took II
home and is keeping it. L. dascov-
cry was made when one of the men
working on the block noticed what
he thought to be big crew lying
in a hole which it had made In the
ground. Dir. Schultz also saw h and
went and picked it up. He mmedi-
ately recognized 1t as a sea-g,Sll It's
presence is probably the result OF
becoming lost from its mates while,
flying and being worn out was fore
ed to light. The bird resembles a
crow TO a great extent, though OF q
slate color. 1t is web-fOoted like the
duck. Mr.. Schultz took it to 8 meat
market this morning and gave it
some raw meat, which 1t devoured
greedily. Owing to its being yet
young he hopes to make a pet OF it.

THE IOWA WEATHER
AND | CROP REPORT
Fifty per Cent Of Corn Crop Safe
From a Moderate Frost
Gathering Seed.

Des Moines Sept 17.-Special to
the Freeman-Tribune: The first two
days were very warm, but the latter
half of the week was cool, with tenn
.peratures near the frost line in the
northern counties on the morning of
the 14th. More than the usual
amount Of cloudiness prevailed, and
showers were frequent, although the
southeastern part Of the state re-
ceived very little moisture until Sat-
urday night when heavy rain fell.
Corn made very satisfactory prog
ress, and the early planted fields, in
the southern counties, are now be-
ing cut for silage and fodder. The
abnormally high temperatures dur
ing the first ten days of the month
caused corn to mature rapidly, and
probably fifty per cent of the crop is
safe from moderate frost, but the
late fields need two to three weeks
of good warm, dry weather to put
them beyond danger Of injury of ev-
en- heavy frost. Considerable corn
was gathered for seed during the
week, and most farmers will probab-
ly secure their seed at the earliest
date possible Threshing has been
further delayed by showers, but
pastures, meadows and late potatoes
were greatly benefited by the needed
moisture The showers have also
been of great benefit to fall blowing
and seeding, and that work is being
rushed.

CARRY Three TO One
Only s72 Votes Cast s77 for and
s5 Against Won in Every
Ward in Town.

Only about third Of the total
vote Of the city. was cast in the
special fire house bond election yes
terday. The general impression pre-
vailed that the proposition would
carry by a large majority and there
was no organized effort to defeat it.
The people realized that. d fire house
is badly needed and although taxa
tion Is getting very high in Web

adding the additional burden of pay
ing interest on bonds. The vote in

For music, the Dunbars and the
Chicago Lyrics, two of the very best

But by far the greatest thing in

highest class who in their last tour
of the United States played only in

in Chicago last spring and several
of our people made special trips to

More Fire Protection.

Now that Webster City is assured
Of a new fire house, the matter of a
new chemical engine for additional
fire protection ought to be taken UP
by the city council Probably three
fourths, if not more, of the fires are
discovered in their infancy and
could be put out with chemical ex-
tinguisher almost instantly; in fact,
they could be extinguished before
the time which is Necessarily taken
to attach a water hose to the hy-
drant The chemical extinguisher
kills the oxygen in the air instan-
taneously and out go the flames, 1t
being impossible for fire to burn
without oxygen. There is not a
city in the country of any import
ance but what has chemical fire
extinguisher in its equipment. The
effectiveness OF the chemical extin-
guisher surpasses every other known
fire extinguisher when flames are
discovered In easements or are con-
fined in partitions, etc. You do not
have to turn the chemical hose on
the seat of the blaze. The chemical
mixture sQuirted into basement, or
any other confined space in which
the flames are burning Immediately
Kills the oxygen and this puts, out
the blaze instantly. With this sort
of fire extinguisher goods In stores
or other rooms are not ruined by
flooding them with water. The
chemical extinguisher far surpasses
water in every instance, except
where a fire has had big start and
is endangering the entire building.
And in instances where buildings
are entirely consumed by fire. neigh
boring structures are more easily
saved with the chemical engine than
with water. The chemical mixture
squirted upon an endangered build
ing next to fire will make the
woodwork so treated almost fire
proof In fact, 1t is difficult to burn
wood which has been thoroughly
coated from the nozzle of chemical
engine. This fact was demonstrated
in Webster City when the town
owned chemical engine many
years ago and when ii had no wat
erworks or other water protection,
After the erection of the city water
works at that time, the city coun.
ell very foolishly sold its chemical
engine. not seeming to realize that
this equipment was of Just as much
Importance IL not more than. water
protection.
BY all means Webster City should
have chemical fire extinguisher

The Situation.

According to the Jewell Junction
Record the treasurer of the Hamil-
ton county republican central com
mittee favors Wilson and the secre-
tary is for Roosevelt. 1t Is not stat
ed who the chairman of the commit
tee is for, but it may be Debs. 1t
is likely a canvass of the committee
will be made before the close of the
campaign to see whether there is
any member for Taft.-Capital.
John D. Porter is chairman OF
the committee and he is supporting
Taft. G. D. Thompson, the treasur-
er. is also for Taft and has been ev-
err since Taft's nomination. Claude
Campbell, editor of the Record, Is
secretary. He is inclined toward
Roosevelt, but is supporting the re-
publican state, congressional and
county ticket. Just how the COM
mittee as whole stands is not
known, but Chairman Porter will
soon call the committee together and
every member who is not support
ing the entire republican ticket will
be asked to resign unless they re-
sign without being asked. Mr.. Por-
ter certainly takes the right view OF
the matter. He says it is preposter-
Gus for any member of the commit

TUBERCULOSIS DAY,
SUNDAY, OCT. 18th
Will be Observed Throughout the
Nation-Iowa Should do
Her Full Part.

The Freeman Tribune is in re-
ceipt of the following self-explana-
tory letter from Prof. A. e. Kepford,
state lecturer, under date of Des
Moines, Sept. 10:
Sunday, October 9th, will be OBJ
served throughout Iowa as Tubercu-
losis Day. For several years, a day
has been set apart by the National
Association on which pulpits
throughout the country, by sermon
or address, have treated some phase
of the prevention of tuberculosis.
Last year the day was most success
fully observed in Iowa. In some
counties nearly every pulpit was
occupied with an address on some
phase of the prevention Of the white
plague. 1t may be safely assumed
that there will be a general response
on the part of the clergy to have
this subject presented. The Depart
ment on tuberculosis will supply
abundant material and outline for
the preparation of such addresses,
and in addition will be glad to send
out free literature for distribution.
Should October eth not be avail
able, then any day near to it will
do just as well. The intimate CO.
operation which this department has
had with the clergy of Iowa insures
the success of this day. For any in
formation address A. E. Kepford,
State Lecturer, Des Moines. Iowa.
