women have not met the man they
would marry Is no reason why they
should be marooned on a barren island. -

Town Without Policeman.

New Hartford, town of 500 in
habitants, situated west of here in
Butler county, is good enough not to
require any police supervision. For
a month the place has been without
a policeman or town marshal, and
the residents have demonstrated that
they can get along quite as we'll
without them as with them They
have practically adopted the plan of
lf-government, and each citizen is
his own peace guardian.
This unusual condition was de-
scribed by the new mayor e. H. Wills.
Up to month ago Elmer Burns was
the guardian of the peace and GUS
todian of the property in general.
Mayor Wills appointed him, but he
failed to qualify, and the mayor has
been unable to get any one to take
the place. The position of police
man is paid by the fee system, and
the income enjoyed by Marshal Burns
last year amounted to but Sc from
this source.

The Rack Yard.

Did you ever take a jaunt up or
down through the alleys of this beau
tiful city? You can tell more about
the inhabitants of town by trip
through the back alleys than many
imagine. Some of the back yards are
as neat as pins, while others would
put an old brush fence hog lot to
shame. We are glad to say that the
latter are few and far between.
Back yards reflect the characters
of the owners. Sometimes the front
yard will be bubbling over with flow
er beds and posies and the back
yards will be chiefly devoted to slop-
barrels, scrap-iron, brick-bats and
empty cans. You can guess what
kind of people live there. Sometimes
both front and back yards correspond
and are wrecks alike. You can cas-.
lily place the owners.
Sometimes both front and back
yards show the utmost care and at
tention, and it is hard to tell which
is the cleaner. You have no trouble
in classifying the people who live
there.
If either the front or back yard
must be neglected dear friends, let it
be the front one. Don't try to pre-
sent Queen Anne front with a Mary
Anne back. An i'll kept back yard
is dangerous and q menace to good
health. Elk.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Boy Comes to Death While Brother
Plays With Revolver.

On Sunday afternoon about four
o'clock our people were shocked
when the word came that fatal ac-
cident had just been enacted at the
Nels Holm place, some seven and a
half miles southeast of our city,
wherein their son Edol, fourteen
years old was the victim.
Enok Holm, nineteen years of age,
and couple of companions had been
shooting at a mark with a revolver.
When Edol, the younger brother, re-
turned home with his parents he
heard the shots and after changing
his clothes he went to the pasture to
get the cows and horses; he then
joined the other boys who were a
short distance from the house. When
he met them he asked to see the
revolver, but his older brother, Enok
protested that he should not have
the weapon while it was loaded, and
took it and attempted to remove the
cartridges While he was doing this
the revolver was in some manner dis
charged and 80 bullet struck Edol
in the throat, going completely
through his neck and severing an
artery. He fell to the ground, but
in short time regained a sitting
posture and tried to talk, but the
flow of blood choked him, and in
about fifteen minutes he breathed his
last.
Enok was almost Frustrated by
the fact that while trying to protect
his brother from harm he became
the cause of the fatal accident, and
this makes it doubly hard for him to
bear.-Elgin Echo.

The Same Ole Game.

The same old games work in the
same old way year after year. Last
saturday afternoon a travelling VEN
der of metal watches held a crowd
of sixty men for two hours while he
talked them into giving him a dollar
each for the cheap watch chains,
which SO of them did. Then he got
off a dozen razors on the same bunch
and several watches at five dollars
each. The goods were marked mys-
teriously and the buyers told to wait
in the crowd so he could show his
appreciation of them. Finally a rain
came up, he passed out some other
trinkets as presents to those who had
bought chains, etc., and then drove
away with about fifty dollars of the
money that was tighter in the poe
kets of the buyers than fire shrunk
collar on gas pipe, before he loos-
ened it UP. Some of the merchants
would have been glad to have done
as much business in the same length
of time for reliable goods worth the
money.-Denison Bulletin.

A Thrilling Experience.

P. F. Dempsey had rather a thrill
ing experience Sunday afternoon with
his new White steamer, which he
received last week and was just be-
coming accustomed to.
He started for the MCGUIRE home
near Rossville with Mrs. d. and the
little Misses Montgomery and Molum-
by. Near the cemetery the occupants
were startled to find the car on fire
and were compelled to hurriedly
evacuate it. The kerosene, which is
the fuel used, had been too freely
elected from the feed valves and be-
came ignited. The car has but little
infiammable material to it, the body
of it being made of aluminium, but
before the fire could be extinguished
it scorched up the paint badly and
burned the few wooden portions OF
it, in all causing a damage of about
$10O.-Waukon Democrat.

A SERIOUS CRIME.
Fayette County Boy Arrested For
Offence Against Girl.

Ben Lewis, aged sixteen, who lives
in the country near Fayette, was
taken up for an attempted offense
against Fayette girl, and was put
in jail Monday, after hearing at
Fayette. 1t appears that two boys
and two girls, all about the same
age, ran across each other on the
street in Fayette after Saturday
nights band concert, and got to
handing remarks back and forth to
each other. Inc other boy went
home with one of the girls, and
young Lewis either went with or fol-
lowed the other of the two girls.
Matters We're proceeding at a lively
gait not very far from the girls
home, when she called for her moth
er, at which alarm Lewis ran away
He was taken UP, charged with as
sault with intent to commit rape, and
had his hearing Monday before
George Bronn, mayor of Fayette,
County Attorney w. c. Lewis appear
ing for the state and E. H. Estey of
West Union for the defense. Exam
ination was waived, and the boy was
bound over to the September grand
jury under $1,000 bonds, which not
being given Sheriff Clark brought
him to West Union and placed him
in the county Jail. There is some
sentiment in Fayette to the effect
that the boys offence was not so SER
ious as the charge would Indicate

Electric Light.

You will want electric light some
day; then why not have it now?
When the hot weather comes you
would enjoy having light that gives
off no smoke, no heat and no poison
Gus gases such as are always found
where lights that burn in the open
air are used.
Since the Mazda lamp has been
available, electric light is cheaper
than ever because this lamp gives
three times as much light as the old
carbon lamp without any increase in
the amount of current consumed.
If your house is wired for electric
light you can use an electric iron, a
fan, water heater and other econom-
ical and convenient heating devices
which we would be glad to have you
use for time on approval.
1t will put you under no obliga-
ton to have your premises inspected
and an estimate and specifications
furnished. We will be glad to do
this If you will call telephone "a or
drop us card. Upper Iowa Power

cided a change would be to the in

did, and two badly frightened men
crawled out, took deep breaths and
