Shoots Black.

Omaha, Neb, Aug. 5.In attempt
ing to prevent burglary Saturday
night Hyman Milder, 1s years old,

challenged him, with the result that
the negro attacked and wounded
him with a knife. Young Milder
raised a cry for assistance, which
was answered by his younger broth
er, Bob Milder, who, with a re-
volver, rushed to his aid. One shot
was fired into the ground to fright
en- the negro, but the effect was
slight, whereupon a shot was fired
into the negroes head.
Anthony is in a hospital and may
die. Young Milder was able to go
home after having his wounds dress

farmers Quarrel
MAY PROVE FATAL
John Dexter of West Liberty is
Near Death.

West. Liberty, Aug. 5.--John Dex-
ter, widely known farmer. whose
home is northeast of West Liberty,
is believed to have been fatally in
jured in a quarrel with Charles Eos
ter, also a farmer, which took place
at the home of Simon Shelter, south
of town, where they had gone to as
sist in the threshing. Foster is said
to have struck Dexter with a pitch
fork, the blow fracturing the skull
from temple to temple, delivered
with such force that Dexter's eyes
were forced from their sockets.
Community sympathy is with Fos-
ter, who is declared to have struck
the other only after Dexter had
made repeated verbal attacks.
The authorities state there is no
haste necessary in the matter of ar
rests.

TO EXTERM|NATE
THE Wild ANIMALS
Congressman Mondell Of Wyoming
Wants Government to Pay for
Killing Beasts in the West.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Represen-
tative Mondell, of wyoming, intro
duced a bill Saturday to appropriate
100000 for the United States to pay
it's share of the cost of exterminat-
ing the predatory wild animals on
the forest reserves of the west.
Are you after the bull moose?"
he was asked.
"No, the bull moose is not a Wild
or predatory animal. He only preys
on soft, .mushy things in his native
lair and we do not have such things
in our country" answered Mondell.
He explained that his bill was
cunning for timber wolves, coyotes,
mountain lions and other wild
creatures that kill off sheep. Some
states pay bounty for their pelts
now and Mondell wants the govern
ment to pay its proportion Of the
cost.

South Platte, Colo, Aug. 81
George Ballew, aged 20 years, a ma
tive of Tennessee, Saturday night
ran amuck at summer hotel here,
shot and seriously wounded three
persons, set fire to the hotel, and
for several hours held the summer
colony in terror, threatening to
shoot "the first one to open his
mouth"
The wounded, who were taken to
a Denver hospital, were:
Charles Wallbrecht, proprietor Of
the hotel, shot in arm.
Mrs. Charles Wallbrecht, shot in
body, serious.
James McWhorter, a tourist, be-
lieved to be from Kansas City, shot
in arm.
Ballew is being trailed by posse
headed by the sheriff of Jefferson
county, but up to noon he had not
been sighted.
Authorities yesterday explained
that they believed Ballew temporar-
lily insane from having brooded over
the desertion by his wife several
months ago, and that the Wall
brechts were attacked because Bal
lew held the delusion that Mrs.
Wallbrecht had caused the estrange-
ment.
For several hours following the
shooting Ballew held the summer
colonists in terror, and with threat
of death tried to prevent Telegraph
Operator Paine from notifying au-
thorities in Denver.
Fearing that the telegraph opera
tor would notify outsiders Of the oc-
curence he ran to the station ana
ordered him to come on" The OPP
orator already had notified the Dem
yer authorities. Ballew marched
the telegraph operator to the hotel,
where he assembled those in attend
ance upon the injured into one
group and held them at bay.

REDUCING LENGTH
Of QUARANTINE
Period for Diphtheria has Been Cut
From Twenty Eight to
( Sixteen Days.

iowa city, Aug. S.-seientific ex-
animation of diphtheria cases by the
Iowa State Psychological Labora-
tory at the University of Iowa saved
the people of the state almost $40,-
600 last year.
This was the information contain
ed in the special report submitted
yesterday by DR.. Henry Albert, state
baeteriologist. This covers only a
small part of the work of the labora-
tory az the main effort is put on
tuberculosis and typhoid fever
The old time period of quarantine
for diphtheria was 20 days. Under
the improved methods of the labora-
tories the average period of quaran-
tine was cut down to 16 days, a diff
ference of IL.
The number of families in which
diphtheria occurred was 1,444 with
the average number Of persons in a
family 46 according to DR.. Albert's
table. The number of persons quar-
antined was 6,642 which made the
total number of days saved reach
1904.
Exactly 1870 days were saved
to the heads OF families. Estimat-
ing the average earning capacity of
the head of the family at $3.50, a
noet conservative figure, the total
amounts to $39,S50.
An interesting feature is the num-
Der of school days given the chill
dren. This adds up to 1881,
enough school days to allow one
scholar to attend regularly for 1872
yeara
The improved system Of examin-
ing patients to release them sooner
from quarantine is called the "Cul-
ture'' method. 1t absolutely protects
the. public.

TRIBUTE TO T. r.

I am for Theodore Roosevelt for
President because I have known
him we'll for years and have found
him consistently loyal to the princi-
Piles of this new party. Those who
have followed his career without
prejudice have seen with the year
deepening and broadening of his
interest in social problems, and
must agree that his record has
shown consistent growth in his
understanding of social conditions
and forces. But no one who has
had an intimate acquaintance with
him, as l have had. and has known
him as a member of the New York
State Assembly, as police commits
sioner of New York City, as COVER
nor of New York State and as Pres
ident of the United States can fail
to admit that he has always been
ready to exercise the power of his
official positions to further those
principles to which he is now de-
voting himself with heroic courage,
independence and enthusiasm

A Few Tips How You Can
Guard Against Having
Your Ballot Refused.
~ea X with,

The above Is a facsimile of the
emblem of the Progressive ticket that
will appear on both state and county
ballots at the election next Tuesday
On both ballots the emblem will be
found at the head of the fourth ticket
from the left. The Democratic ticket
is first; Republican second; Phoribi-
ton third; Progressive fourth; So
cialist fifth, and on the state ballot
the Socialist Labor party tickt will be
included and will be sixth.
Familiarize yourself, Mr.. Progress
sive Voter, with the Bull Moose en-
ticket, be certain, If you desire to vote
a straight Progressive ticket, to make
your cross wholly within the circle
that surrounds the Bull Moose. Any
where within the circle will do, but do
not mark elsewhere. The better pos
sition for the cross is at the right or
left of the Bull Moose where there is
sufficient room for your marking. Vot-
ers should bear in mind that there are
but two ballots. The state ticket con-
tains first of all the presidential cleo
tors. The names of the Presidential
candidates themselves do not appear.
The voter who desires to vote for
Roosevelt for president and Beveridge
for governor has only to make the
cross within the circle surrounding the
Bull Moose emblem. Beveridge's
name appears on the Progressive
state ballot more than half way down
the list. Simply make the cross in
the circle at the top and you have
voted for Beverage for governor and
for all presidential electors who will,
If elected, cast their votes for Roose-
welt. 1t is the same with the county
ballot. On the Progressive ticket the
name Of Gierluf Jensen, Progressive
candidate for congress, comes first.
To vote for Jensen and all the re-
mainder of the Progressive county
ticket simply mark your cross within
the circle surrounding the Bull Moose.
Get this Progressive emblem fixed
well in your minds eye and on enter
ing the voting booth you will find the
emblem, as stated above, the fourth
from the left, on both the state and
county ballots.
