BEES AUCUR WELL
FOR W|LEY'S BABE
Sign of Great Future for the
Boy.

Washington, D. c., May 90
Dame Fortune, if the theory of the
superstitious counts for aught, has
prognosticated a more than ordinary
future for the country's pure food
baby, the infant son of DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, pure food expert, and for
mer chief of the bureau of chemis-
try.
When bees on mysterious journeys
from hives of unknown location
light on the premises it augurs good
luck for the youngest member of
the family, say those who believe in
omens, fairies" and banshees.
If that be a sign, Doc" Wiley,
Jr., bids fair to be blessed with all
the smiles Dame Fortune can be-
stow, for ever since his birth a
swarm of more than a thousand of
the wax and honey makers have in
termittently taken up their abode in
the rear of the pure food experts
home. AS the Star of the East how
cred over Bethlehem, so the swarm
of buzzing honeymakers has hover
ed about the residence of Mrs. A. R.
Bell, with whom DR.. Wiley makes
his home, shortly before and ever
since the birth Of the boy.

er. The shooting occurred in Fifth
street at Z o'clock. Dunn also acct
dentally shot himself.
William A. Buchanan, pedestrian,
was the only person near the scene
of the shooting. Hickey, he says,
passed him and spoke to him as they
passed, while Dunn, who was evil
IDENTIFY lurking in a nearby stair
way, rushed out to meet Hickey.
Buchanan's back was turned to the
men, and his attention was attract
ed to the attempted murder when
Dunn fired the first shot. The men
had clinched and Hickey, who is
much larger than his assailant, was
crushing Dunn to earth. The other
was struggling and firing into
Hickey's body. Four shots were fir
ed by Dunn, one of which entered
the assailant's knee, while the men
were wrestling. Hickey received
three wounds, one taking effect in
the life side and the other two in
the left arm.
Pedestrians were attracted by the
shooting and rushed upon the strug-
Cling men. Dunn was dragged from
beneath Hickey and the revolver
knocked from his grasp. Hundreds
were attracted to the shooting, but
none of the local police force ap-
peared, although the shooting occur
red block from the police station.
The shots were heard by men in the
station. The cause of the shooting
is unknown. The only reason as
signed is that Dunn held a griev-
ance against Hickey because of the
employment of his
former wife as housekeeper. She
was divorced from Dunn a few years
ago.
Commissioner Hickey has long
been known as a democrat political
boss in Keokuk and Lee county,
where he has been a prominent po-
litical figure for a number of years.
He was elected as one of the three
councilmen Of Keokuk under the
form of government at
the election last April.

HE DIMES WITH ENGINEERS

Gettysburg, Pa, May 31.-On a
mound from which union batteries
hurled their shells half a century
ago, Colonel Roosevelt yesterday
spoke in commemoration of the
soldiers who gave their lives at
Gettysburg and urged the men of
today to meet the nations problems
with the spirit of the men of 1861.
1t was policies, rather than politics,
which he discussed, although he
made an occasional reference to
subjects which have been brought
up in the campaign. ..
Before Colonel Roosevelt made his
address, which was delivered in the
national cemetery,he looked on as the
ceremonials of the day were observ-
ed. Veterans of the war, marching
haltingly behind their torn flags,
scattered flowers over the graves of
the dead, of which there are more
than 5000 here. Their task was
lightened by scores of children who
walked among the graves from the
opposite direction until the lines
met. A salute was fired, the bugles
sounded taps and the band played an
old hymn, which the soldiers used to
sing in battle.
mo man can help being pro-
foundly moved said Colonel Roose-
welt, when he sees the veterans Of
the great war and their children's
children strew flowers on the graves
Of those who died that we might
live. If there be southerners here,
know that they can join with the
northerners in paying homage to
the valor of the victor as well as to
the vanquished."
Saying that the soldiers of the
civil war had distinguished them
selves not only by the way in which
they fought, but in their conduct
after the war, Colonel Roosevelt
continued:
I'm those days just after the war,
there We're foolish people who talked
of imperialism and of dictatorship.
They said the soldiers would tyran-
nize our country. One of the great
lessons taught was that in six
after the war soldiers could
go back to the farm and shop and
be absorbed in the common life of
the people.
"The talk of Imperialism was no
more foolish than it is now. / have
too much respect for you to tell you
that you are in no danger of die
When any man tells you
that, get him a nurse and a peram-
bulator, for il he really believes It'll

DEATH CAME VERY QUICKLY

Dayton, o., May 31.--Wilbur
Wright, the noted aviator, died yes
terday morning of typhoid fever.
Following sinking spell that de-
veloped soon after midnight, Mr..
Wright died at 3:15 yesterday.
Wright had been near death for
many days and though his condi-
ton from time to time gave some
hope to members of his family, the
attending physicians, Drs. d. B.
Conklin and Levi Splitter, maintain
ed throughout the latter part of his
sickness that he could not recover.
When the patient succumbed he
was surrounded by the members of
his family, which includes his aged
father, Bishop Milton Wright; Miss
Catherine Wright, Orville, the CO.
inventor of the acceptance; Reuchlin
Wright and Lorin Wright All of
the family reside in this city except
Reuchlin, who lives in Kansas.
The most alarming symptoms in
Wright's sickness developed yester-
day shortly before noon, when his
fever suddenly mounted from 1O4 to
LOG and then quickly subsidized to its
former stage. At this juncture the
patient was seized with cbills and
the attending physicians were baf-
fed by the turn of events. Chills
were unusual in patient suffering
from fever this high and the doctors
at Wright's bedside Were puzzled
The condition Of the aviator re-
manned unchanged throughout the
rest Of the day and there was no i'm
provement up until last midnight.
Then there seemed to be slight i'm
provement, but soon there was
sudden turn for the worse and DR..
Conklin was called. He arrived at
1925 and learned that Wright had
died few minutes before.
Mr.. Wright was seized with ty-I
phoid May 4 while on business trip
in the east. On that day he return
ed to Dayton from Boston and con-
suited with DR.. Conklin. He took
to his bed almost Immediately and
it was several days before his case
was definitely diagnosed as typhoid. |
Arrangements for the funeral had
not been completed early today.

to drop out until there were only
ten cars to finish.
Dawson drove a steady race, hold

DePalma went out of the race rab-

Dawson's car as he was speeding

FEDERAL AUCTION.

President Taft has descended to
the lowest depths in the use of fed
eral patronage to serve his own in
terests. Webster City has had ex-
perience in this the past year.
When Congressman Woods recon-
Col. Young and other discredited
Des Moines politicians wrote the
president protesting against the APP
pointment of Mr.. Cash, calling the
presidents attention to the fact
that Mr.. Cash waved a Roosevelt
banner in the state convention two
years ago when the friends of the
president were trying to get up a
demonstration for him The presi-
dent promptly pigeonholed the rec
ommendation of Mr.. Woods and it
will probably stay pigeonholed I'M
til after the next election when a
subservient tool of Col. Young here
In Webster City will get the ap-
pointment. The same tactics were
employed at Marshalltown. Con-
gresham Good made recommends
ton for postmaster there, but Col.
Young and Gov. Carroll interferred
and the appointment is accordingly
held up. This is all done for politi-
cal advantage. It is evident the
president and his henchmen are pur-
suing similar tactics in every state,
yet Mr.. Taft has the nerve. to say
that he has not resorted to such
methods. The following resolution,
recently adopted by the republican
state convention of North Carolina,
shows what the president is doing in
the same direction in the south:
whereas, President Taft did on
the 18th day of March, by single
order, withdraw from the senate the
nominations of ten citizens of North
Carolina without assigning any rea-
son therefor, and without any
charges against the character or
qualifications of said nominees, it
being understood that the fate of
the nominees is to await the action
of this convention, the appointments
to be awarded to the factional lead
er who shall deliver the largest
number of delegates to, Mr.. Taft.
"We therefore resolve and declare
that this action of the president is
i'll advised, indefensible, subversive
of good government and good NOR
ais and in fragrant violation of the
statutes governing the civil services.
1--WE therefore declare that Presi-
dent Taft has underestimate the
pride and self respect of the republic
cans of North Carolina in supposing
that we would participate in a po-
litical auction whose object is to
make merchandise OF men. We un-
hesitatingly repudiate, resent and
rebuke the whole proceedings and
all parties thereto"

ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cutlcura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
