LAST NIGHT.

The accidental discharge of revol-
YER in the hands OF Otto Lowe last
night about 1920 fatally wounded
Edgar Caldwell at his home, 504 Lee
avenue. The injured man was hastily
taken to the hospital where physicians
examined the wound which was Of
such a serious character as not to per-
nit OF the removal of the bullet. Lit
tie &hope Is held out for his recovery.
The injury affects the lower intestines,
which were punctured fifteen times.

was as greatly surprised as was Ed
ear when the gun discharged. 1t is
not the question Of whose fault 1t IS,
for it is done now and was only an
accident, and we do not feel any
worse than Otto about it,
The bullet, 3S-caliber cartridge, en-,
tered the lower right quadrant and
nenetrated the bowels. The attending
physician stated that the small IN
testines were punctured fifteen times
bv the bullet in it's course through the
Young mans body, and that it stopped
lust beneath the skin Of the right hip.
He was so weak during the operation
that it was deemed unwise to remove
the bullet last night.
Lived at Home.
Edgar Caldwell is a cigar maker,
but for some time past has been en-
ployed at the Dain plant. He Is 10
years of age and makes his home with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Cald-

ANKLE BROKEN ~
BY FALLING IRON
JAMES JACKSON SERIOUSLY IN.
JURED RIGHT MEMBER YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON

James Jackson, who resides at the
corner of Main and Clay streets, sus'
tanned a compound fracture and dis
location of the right ankle yesterday
afternoon while at work at the plant
of the Ottumwa Box Car loader The
injury was of sufficient gravity that
for time it was feared the foot
might have to be amputated. but to.
day the physician expects to save the
injured member. although it may
cause the injured man to have a stiff
foot.
The accident was due to the fall of
q number Of angle irons that were be-
ing handled by the injured man and
several other employees at the time in
the company's yard at the rear of the
plant. Tons of weight crushed the
right foot Of Mr.. Jackson so seriously
that the foot was turned out and un-
der the iron and the bone made to
protrude out of the ankle several
inches. The ambulance was hurried to
the plant Immediately after the acct
dent and brought the injured man to
the hospital shortly after o'clock.

EDITOR OF COur1er. &C. "a.
I have been wondering for some time
If our biblical students who have been
wrangling over the seventh day, the
first day, the Sabbath day and through
the Peoples Pulpit in the Courier do
not realize that they are openly vio-
lating the holy scripture. Surely men
who are so ready with bible quotations
must know what they are doing, and
that makes their conduct the more rep
rehensible. Now if you think am not
warranted in the above statement
LIST chapter 18th verse, the new moons
and Sabbaths the calling Of assemblies,
I cannot away with: it is iniquity."
Now. my dear sirs, what is it that is
iniquity? 1t Is as plain as anything
can be. It is new moons, Sabbaths and
assemblies. So we had better cut them
out. Then we read in Romans 14th
chapter and 18th verse, Zone man es-
teemeth one day above another: an
other esteemeth every day alike. Let
every man be fully persuaded in his
own nina. SO you see it is every ones
own problem, to solve and if he does it
honestly he is 0. X. At least it is no.
body elses put in, as plainly shown
above and verified in the second chap
ter Of Colossians and the 18th verse
where he read, "let no man therefore
judge you in meat or in drink or in re-
spect of the holy day or Of the new
moon, or. of the Sabbath days." So you
see that new moons, Sabbaths, assem-
blies, holy days, or what you eat or
drink, are all eliminated from debate by
holy writ. And the first three are pro-
iniquities. Now my dear
friends hope you will see from the
above quotations that there is nothing
to the seventh. or the first day, or the
day issues. Surely the infer
ence is very plain that the inspired
writer's as above quoted failed to see
any good in 1t.

the country were rapidly expanding

What did Mr.. Roosevelt doe During
his entire seven years, six months and
twenty-one days of wild weary presi'
Dental effort, he never once raised q
hand to lower the schedules or have
| a revision of the tariff laws in general.
| Along the lines of tariff revision, moth
| ing has been done that would give it
a distinctive administration stamp. All
has been chaos and pandemonium-no
clearly strong, directing personality,
no dominating intellect to devise safe
reformative measures and push them
! to q successful issue-only few
vague phrases by the voluble Roose-
welt and other emotional reformers.
Had Mr.. Mckinley lived to see the
end Of his second term, beyond rea-
sonable doubt, there would have been
no patched up Bill Payne to come
limping back from a long journey, so
sadly mutilated, that even his own
father failed to recognize him. With
his firm held upon the conservative
element of the republican party,
coupled with his potent genius for COM
promise. Mr.. Mckinley most surely
would have given the tariff another
color with the official stamp. Anti
quated his earlier manner was cast
aside-reformative methods, more
logical filled the popular demand.
In the early dawn of the century,
Mr.. Mckinley, largely influenced by
the reciprocity doctrine of Mr.. Blaine.
clearly perceived that the da yof pro
lection was doomed-that sooner or
later it would become q relic Of the
past; that the great American infant
had cast off it's swaddling clothes and
no longer required fatherly protection,
as it did in those great days when in
the arms Of its nurse.
During his restrictive reign in the
white house, about the only thing Mr..
Roosevelt accomplished of any perma-
nent value, was his strenuous and sue
cessful efforts for the conservation OF
the natural or national resources OF
the country, notably that of forestry
and water ways. That was a good,
timely and noble work and will endure
long after the column of Vendome
shall have crumbled to forgotten dust.
The time and conditions, were ripe
and ready for the work-though other
men had devoted the best part of their
lives and fell exhausted, pushing the
problem within the range Of a posi-.
bility However, Mr. Roosevelts fame
will rest chiefly on the books he had
written, some Of which possess un-
usual merit. Intellectually, Mr..
Roosevelt is not prominent; he is not !
a profound thinker, his knowledge !
savors strongly Of the smuttering and /
superficial. He has had the scholastic
training and all that great wealth, and
wealthy friends could buy or give.
logically his great popular
ty is not due to early piety nor in
tellectual superiority or great learn
ng; but is largely a product Of the
emotionally-physical- an IT.

Johnson, Fatigued,
Cancels Days Tour

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 2O.-After a
conference early this morning with
State Chairman Edwin NJ Lee of the
Progressive party, Governor Johnson
of California, decided to cancel the
speaking trip scheduled for him today
through the north and central part of
the state He was TO have spoken at
Nobesville, Kokomo, Marion, Anderson
and intermediate towns. Mr.. Johnson
will go direct from Indianapolis to Gin
cinnati early this afternoon. The cause
of the abrupt change in plans was that
the governor was almost exhausted by
the hard schedule carried out yester-
day and felt that he could not make the
entire itinerary without putting him
self in such a physical condition that
he could not do justice in Ohio.
The governor found 5000 people
waiting at TOmlinson hall when he ar
rived at 8 o'clock last night and ad-
dressed them for one hour.
