MAN KILLED NEAR DYERsvILLE.
Stranger About Fifty Years Old Hit
by c. q. w. Train-Was APP
parently Deaf.

Dyersville, Ia, August 26.-While
waiAing along the Great Western
tracks about a mile northwest of this
place yesterday afternoon, a stranger
about fifty years old, was struck by
the afternoon passenger train of that
road and was instantly killed.
There was nothing on his person
to identify the man. He carried a
suit case which contained some work
ing clothes. In his pockets was found
ten dollars in cash and a railroad
ticket to Dennison, la. Those who
witnessed the tragedy stated that as
he walked along he turned TO look
back every few minutes as though
there was some defect in his hearing
and feared the approach of a train
from the rear. He had just rounded
curve when the train approached
from behind, striking him and badly
mutilating his body.
The remains are in the care of the
Delaware county coroner of Earlville.
An effort Will be made to locate his
relatives or ascertain his identity if
possible.

Farmers are Facing Big Dilemma.

Perry, Iowa, Aug. 26.-Farmers in
this vicinity are facing a peculiar sit
uation as regards the gathering of
the enormous corn crop which is rap
idly developing in their fields. AL
though some people are inclined to
treat the matter as a joke, the fact
remains that the corn has grown so
high many of the ears can not be
reached by the huskers and a lot of
extra work will be occasioned when
corn gathering time arrives.
In the office of local real estate
dealer is a stock of corn which is A
feet high and the farmer from whom
the corn was secured declared that it
is an average stalk from his field.
There are two ears of corn on it, the
lowest of which is ten feet from the
ground.
Some of the farmers say they ex-
pect to put their pickers on horse
back. Others claim that they are
planning to rig up pair of stills for
each farm hand and one man says he
is considering the purchase of slow
moving airship. A few claim that it
will be impossible to reach the corn
without first cutting it down and that
the only successful way of handling it
will be cutting it for ensilage.

A REPLY.

|, the undersigned, do hereby sub
NIT reply to statement given by
Anton Leidahl in a former issue of
this paper.
At township school meeting held
in Pleasant township, July /, 1912,
the school board convened, consist
ing of the various school directors,
of which Anton Leidahl was one and
myself as president Of said school
board.
Being that Anton Leidahl tried
to influence the board to select a per-
son to act as president for the ensu-
ing school year by appointing a per-
son not a member of the school board
which was contrary and not abiding
with the schools of Iowa,
Therefore, | made the statement
to the effect that it made no partic-
ular difference who was appointed as
president of the township school
board, because it was not a paying
office and there was no S129 to be
collected ard other claims besides,
which the directors of the Norwegian
Mutual Insurance Co. had collected
for salary and re-insuring Pleasant
township in 1912, a sum one-third
greater than had been collected ten
years ago for the same work in can
vassing the same territory
The reason | gave the above state
ment was because | had received the
following information: The president
of our Norwegian Mutual Insurance
Co. had given by his own hand-writ-
ing to Mr.. o. l.. Saxvick the figures
1929, which was the amount collected
by the directors of Pleasant township
for salary and re-insuring said town
ship in 1912.
Now the reason | thought other
claims besides the S129 had been col
lected, was because. after our last
annual meeting in which claims had
been paid and settled, some of our
members talked the matter over
with one of the officials of our in
surance company who said the claims
of the directors of Pleasant township
were so large that he did not think
they had money enough tc pay them
all in full.
Therefore, l undoubtedly took it
for granted, there were other claims
besides the 1929, but there were
none.
Now in conclusion, bear in mind.
that the five signers secured by An
ton Leidahl, were for. the sole pur-
pose, if needed, to testify that | ut
tered the before said sum, $4,000.
which / did. And if requested to, |
can produce Mr.. j. Hegg's own writ
ten figures of $4,000, which he gave
Mr.. o. l.. Saxvick.

There are, it is reported, 10000
600 pupils in the schools of the Uni
ted States. Only seven in every one
hundred are in high schools. This
is not the only thing to be deplored.
There should be better opportunity
in our educational institutions for
technical training. There should be
more of a general effort made to en-
courage pupils to cultivate a serious
regard for habits of industry and
sound principles of morality. With
out special, definite training along
these important lines, our American
boys and girls are not, as rule, like
ly to grow up pure minded, upright,
dutiful, useful citizens. Fathers and
mothers, think of the great problem
of educating properly so many mill
lions of children. Can you be too sol
icitous for their moral safety?-Em-

A New SwindIe.

New ways by which somebody gets
buncoed turn up almost every week.
Commissioner Barney has found the
latest, and proved it on 'em. 1t is
that of short-measuring or short
weighing the grain growers by the
threshermen and collecting pay for
more bushels of grain at the separa-
tor spout than is turned into the bin
The new tangled machines all have
automatic devices for registering the
number of bushels by weight and
complaint came to the food and dairy
department that in certain southern
Iowa county the registering devices
did not agree with the bushels that
could be sold at the elevator. Inves-
tigation showed this to be true and II
was admitted, but Of course, the per-
sons responsible pleaded ignorance
of what was happening. The invest
igation showed a cheat of seven to
fifteen per cent, which of itself is
enough to make a pretty good profit
on the threshing business.

Exploding Barrel Kills Boy.

Ida Grove, Iowa. August 26.-The
12-year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. ia
cob Burmeister, residing six miles
south of Ida Grove, met with a trag-
ic death last week and another small
Ter son had his right arm badly man
gled
The father, who is farmer, had
purchased whiskey barrel at sa-
loon in Battle Creek for the purpose
of putting down pickles in. He took
it home and the son who was killed,
drove the cork out of the hole in the
top, it having been corked up by the
saloonkeeper after the contents had
been drawn.
Taking a match the little fellow
stuck it into the barrel and terrific
explosion took place, being heard by
neighbors for four miles. When the
parents rushed to the place where the
barrel had been left it was found that
the older boy had been instantly kill
and the younger boy seriously IN
jured. So

Lost 5000 Auto.

Whittemore Champion o..
Gangstad of Bode lost two thousand
dollar automobile in a very peculiar
manner during the past week. 1t APP
pears that the gentleman and his
family were returning from Hum
boldt after night, when the machine
ran into a bad spot in the road and
turned turtle. The occupants were
uninjured and as the machine was
clear of the road it was decided to
leave it there until daylight. Other
parties passing by and seeing the ma
chine stopped to see If, perchance,
there was anyone under the car. A
match was lighted to better enable
the parties to make search, gasoline
had been running from the tank and
soon the entire car was enveloped III
flames. The car is said to be total
wreck. 1t was a high class machine
and had been in use but a few weeks.

HURLED FROM TRAIN.
Peculiar Accident Results i'm Death
of Harvest Hand Near
Austin, MINI.

Austin, Mimi, Aug. 26.-One of
the most peculiarly fatal accidents
that has occurred in this vicinity was
that at Lansing yesterday afternoon.
On the norphDound passenger train
on the c. NJ. & ST. p. line was a
large number of harvest hands, and
among the number was Leo Davis,
who with two companions from Ash
land, o., were on their way to the
harvest fields at Antler. Just before
the train came to the road crossing
this side of Lansing, Davis took hold
of the brake wheel. Whether he was
fooling with the brake or whether it
had been partly set is not known,
but when the air was applied the
wheel spun around and like flash
Davis was hurled clear off the steps,
over a barbed wire fence that ran
along the south side of the road,
across the road and through barb
wire fence on the north side.
The train was stopped and he was
lifted aboard. He bled to death from
internal hemorrhage from ruptured
blood vessel in the neck.

Who Owns En-.

Who owns doctors prescription
the physician who made them or the
pharmacist who filled them? Or does
the customer who bought them and
took their bitter doses have a claim
also? This interesting question is
to be settled for all time by the dis
trict court of Woodbury. county at
Sioux City, as the result of suit
filed here by DR.. B. A. Melgaard
against A. j. Kiesau, druggist. Both
are of Lawton, Iowa. Kiesau re-
Gently bought out the business of Ed.
p. Banks and DR.. Melgaard demand
ed the return of his filled prescrip-
tons, to the number of about 800.
Kiesau refused, asserted that they
were a part of his business and that
he needed them. Wnereupon, the
doctor sued for $500 as the value of
the prescriptions and $50 damages.

MOTHER AT ELEVEN YEARS.
Mere Child Gives Birth to Daughter
at Iowa City.

Iowa City, Aug. 26.-An 11-year
old girl gave birth to daughter in
the university hospital here. The
youth of the mother is believed TO
break all presidents in Iowa, and the
case has few, if any, parallels in the
history of surgery in the United
States, local physicians say. The
child weighs eight and one-half lbs.
and is perfect physically. Both motn-
er and babe are doing we'll, and the
hospital staff predicts that both will
thrive. The girl came hither from
Wisconsin. She gives a false name,
and, because of the circumstances,
the hospital authorities ave not
forced her to reveal her true ident-
ity. She alleges that her cousin,
young Wisconsin farmer, aged near
" 80, is in prison, because of her
fall.

A Public Spirited Chinaman.

Spring Valley, Mimi, has Chinese
laundryman who can Guido the most
public spirited of its white citizens.
He always has given his share OF any
thing of a public nature which is be-
ing done for the town, and recently,
seeing that the Baptist church was
getting to look rather shabby, he
gave his order to have the building
painted. The bill came to S140, but
Charley Jim was game and paid it
and doubtless has been happier ever
