The Things That Are Rotten In Denmark

 A foreman, formerly employed by the railroad
 monopoly upon whose lines these wrecks occurred panied Coroner Pheanwho is making such investga- tion honest ought to makeo the of the burning of Springfield express the point of it's deraiment
 There upon the very spot where men and women had perished in the torments of fire this aged railroad
 of experience and virtue pulled spikes with his aided hands cenched his fingers into of rotting wood and tore away fragments, which the coroner ceived and into the keeping of deputy sheriff where they will be evidence of legal murder done in the of most ignoble greed.
 This man, who had expended thirty years of life s the construction of tracks safe for trains upon moved rails under their fastenngs from quarter to half inch, with slight pressure of the bar.
 The himself took pick, and with point immune influence and fear of power dened the rotten supports of swaying rails, compelled daily to the impact speeding trains loaded with human freight each individual life dear it's his friends and dependents the life of any railroad nancier and his.
 And when this foreman of experience, sagacity and virtue testified that his opinion the Springfield express had been wrecked, TWO THIRDS BY BAD ROAD BED AND ONE THIRD BY excessive SPEED, he was sue eeeded by high road who testified that in HIS opinion those roting ties which sliding rails attached by loose spikes made SAFE road move upon.

TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY"

Sunday, October q, will be obsery-
ed throughout Iowa as tuberculosis
Day. For several years, day has
been set apart by the National Asso-
citation on which pulpits throughout
the country, by sermon or address,
have treated some phase of the pre-
yention of tuberculosis. Last year,
the day was almost successfully OBJ
served in Iowa. In some counties,
every pulpit in the county was occu-
pied 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 sub
ject presented. The Department of
tuberculosis will supply abundant
material and outline for the prepare
ton OF such addresses, and in addi-
ton will be glad to send out free liter.
AZURE for distribution. Should Octo-
Der 28th not be available, then any
day near to it will do just as well.

1T is so rumored.
Can it be possible that almost any
citizen of KeokuK knows of the moral
delinquency prevalent and the city
administration is blind to existing
conditions?
1T seems so.

by violations are permitted or over

I'VE do not know.
IF. as has been claimed by the I'M
safety department that gambling and
illegal sales of liquor are not allowed,
how did it come that a police officer
was drunk on his beat on the Sabbath
day?
Perhaps it was. hangover.
IF moral state of affairs exists in
Keokuk why is II that the pulpit feels
it public as well as righteous duty
to call attention to the immoral state
of affairs?
If the police efficiency is of such a
high standard as is claimed for it by
the administration why are smuggling
reports finding their way so frequent

THE IOWA poueHNUT.

In addition to the record-breaking
crop of corn now mateuring, Iowa
also raised some wheat and oats this
year. A fellow with penchant for
statistics has figured out that If the
Iowa wheat crop were baked into
loaves of bread, each eight inches
long, there would be 6,4O0,0O0,O0O
loaves. If these loaves were laid in
line end to end they would stretch
out distance of S33,333 miles; three
times the distance from the earth to
the moon, with 10000 miles to spare.
Laid in line on the earth's surface
they would girdle the globe thirty
three times and have enough left
over to lay two lines from New York
to San Francisco. Baked into ordi-
nary griddle cakes they would make
a stack 100000 miles high, and if a
man should undertake to get away
with the stack eating a griddle cake
every fifteen minutes for sixteen
hours every day, he would have to
live somthing over $4,000 years to fin
ish the meal AS the -four necessary
to make a loaf of bread will make ten
fat doughnuts, if the Iowa wheat crop
were worked into flour and baked into
doughnuts, there would be 64,O0O,OO0,-
900 doughnuts That would be forty
three doughnuts for each man, woman
and child at present living on the

SCARCITY OF LABOR
One Hundred More People Could
Find Work In 0skaloosa.

To discuss the matter of a shortage
of help in factories and other lines
of industry in Oskaloosa, confer
ence was held in the Commercial
club rooms Monday afternoon. Mem
bers of the club, manufacturers and
heads of business enterprises were
present and various ways and means
were discussed to relieve the situa-
ton.
Rev. C. Muller. pastor of the Dutch
Reform church at Sully, and general
missionary in the surrounding neigh
borhood, was present and presented
the possibility of securing a number
of Hollanders for the work in Oska-
loosa He was given all encourage
ment possible as the Hollanders are
very desirable people and make good
citizens.
Fully fifty men and as many wom-
EN- and girls could be given steady
employment in the factories and in
construction work. Others are badly
needed for outside work that must be
completed before winter sets in. 1t
was reported yesterday that one of
the big ditching machines on the new
sewer contract had to remain idle be-
cause not enough men could be Sc
cured to keep it in operation. The
Oskaloosa Traction IL Light company
will have need of a number of extra
men in some new construction work
which will be started soon.

present themselves for notice I go
over his life as recalled by me in our
many years of association to find him
lacking in nothing that goes to con-
stitute safe and reliable represen-
tative. His convictions are strong,
but subject to reason in arriving at
conclusions of right. Without fear
to express himself, yet patient to hear
the other side. No, l never looked
upon M. A. McCord as statesman
in the present day sense of that term.
What our people stand in need of at
this time is less craftsmanship and
more good, common sense in our
legislative halls, and in M. A. McCord
they will have the latter to as near
perfection as human nature gets it.

He CONFESSED FOR $40, 900
FALSELY ACCUSED SELF OR MUIR
DER FOR REWARD.
j. S. krasno Said he Killed Jasper
County Woman Bribed by Faith
err of the Murderer.

| Denver, Colo, Sept. 24.-Jacob S.
Krasno, a Russian, living in Jasper
county, Iowa, was arrested here last
night and confessed that on a prom
Use of reward of $4,000 he had false
lily accused himself of numbering Mrs.
Mathilda Hermsmeir, of Newton, la.
The reward, he told the police, was
promised him by Simon Krampe,
father of Leo Krampe, who was con-
Ivicted of the crime and sentenced to
| life Imprisonment.
The motive of the alleged decep-
ton, he says, was the hope of obtain
ing pardon for Krampe.
Mrs. Hermsmeir, rich recluse liv-
ing on a farm near Newton, Ia, was
found murdered on February %, 1911.
Krampe was convicted in his third
trial after Kra3no had appeared as a
witness for the defendant and sought
TO establish an alibi. Several months
later the governor of Iowa received a
letter from Krasno, mailed in New
York. The writer said he was de-
parting for Russia and that he wished
to confess that he murdered Mrs.
Hermsmeir and that Krampe was in
Inocent.
The Iowa authorities doubted the
genuineness of the confession" and
traced Krasno from New York to
Colorado Springs and from there to
Denver.

Of fifteen per cent has been paid on

farmer would like to know where the

True. When such is the case it
will be well enough for the American
farmer to wonder and kick But no
such state OF facts exists. The
writer visits Canada frequently and
is familiar with prices up there and
knows to certainty that an Ameri-
can pillow costs great deal more in
Canada than in the state, as well as
other machinery, in fact prices re
higher than the prices here with the
duty added.-Traer Star-Clipper.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Oskaloo-

municipal work next year or the next.
Practically no paving has been done
there in two years, and there will be
some big contracts the next time Os-

that small contracts mean steep fig
ures and she finds it economical to
wait until considerable work can be
ordered at one time. Big contracts
attract big contractors and will bring
about lively or close bidding and bet
