Paving at Waukon.

A large number of business men
and property owners of the down
town business district held confer
ence with the council at the regular
meeting Monday evening.
Practically all of the owners of
business property were present and
those who were not present are
known to be favorable to the paving
proposition.
Our muddy streets in spring and
fall, and the awful amount of dust
that blows about during the summer
has become unbearable. Everybody
realizes the advantages to be gained
with paving, and the next summer
or before, will see the right steps
taken.
With the down town section, and
the main approaches paved our little
city will have an ideal business dis
trict, and then there should be ar
rangements made for additional light
ing. Waukon is sure waking up

FARMER JUMPS FROM TRAIN.
Death of Ross Grier of Belle PLANE
Result of Fatal Slip.

Belle PLANE, Iowa, Oct 29.-Ross
Grier, well to do farmer living near
Hartwick, was run over by Chicago
& North Western freight train on
the south branch last evening and
killed. He was here yesterday morn
ing and took a train south to his
home. There is a high road bridge
at the top of grade near that point
and it is supposed that he tried to
jump from the train as it slackened
speed at the top of the grade, but
slipped and fell and was rendered
unconscious. The next train coming
north ran over his insensible body,
severing his head from the trunk.
Whether he was killed or only stun
ned by the fall or struck by another
train may never be known. The en-
gineer on the north bound train saw
the body too late to come to a stop.

The outbreak of suspected cholera
in the southwest corner of ALBANIA
kee county and the adjacent sections
of neighboring counties has been in
vestigated by DR.. N. n. Crawford for
the State Veterinary Department.
Drs. Crawford and Robertson visited

examinations, agreeing in an abso-
lutte diagnosis of hog cholera. Their
report shows 6 farms infected and
on nine of these farms a total num-
Der of 564 pigs have been lost, to

Story County Schools.

A local paper is authority for the
statement that in one of the districts
in Story county, Iowa, the pupils are
divided into two divisions, one which
attend school in the morning, and
the other in the afternoon. There
are "a pupils in attendance at this
school. The first division pupils who
attend school in the morning. The
second division, composed of the
older pupils, attend in the afternoon.
The lessons are prepared at home by
both divisions. 1t is reported that
the teacher is very much pleased
with the arrangement, and that it is
equally satisfactory to the parents
and pupils. We can see how such a
plan would eliminate a great many
of the inconvenience of teaching a
school of mixed pupils ranging in age
from little tots up to pupils of six
teen or seventeen.

4 R.utal Affair.

Ossian was the scene of a some
what brutal affair Sunday afternoon,
when Fred Barr and p. j. Peterson,
the latter from lie Roy, Mimi, be-
came engaged in a fist fight, which
terminated in favor of the former in
the first round, the decision being
rendered by the defeated man him
self. The match" took place on
Main street, near the Barr residence,
and had not c. F. Limbeck, the
poultry and produce man, interfered,
there is no telling what the conse-
quences might have been. Limbeck
took Peterson to Lr. Lynch's office,
where his injuries were treated and
wounds dressed, it requiring ten
stitches to close the wound in the
mans lips. Peterson was sorry
looking sight, and remained at the
doctors Office several hours before
being permitted to leave.
1t appears that both men were
under the influence of liquor, having
begun their carousal Saturday night.
Barr claims that he ordered Peterson
to leave his house Sunday afternoon,
but refusing to leave he was COM
PEELED to use force to Gust him. Barr
was placed in Jail by Marshall Boyle,
where he languished until Monday
morning. He was then arraigned be-
fore Mayor Schmitz on the charge of
intoxication, to which charge he
pleaded guilty. The court assessed
him $25 and the costs of prosecution
in all $30.90-which he paid, en-
HANGING the town treasury to that eX-
tent. Whether or not Peterson will
prefer a charge against Barr we are
not prepared to say.-Ossian Bee.

of the "CooIer" in Winchester, N. H.,
Saturday.
Bert o. Bowen, a Brattleboro, VT, man,
who has been employed as hostler at
Shipman's Tavern for several days past,
had bunch of experiences which started
Friday and ended up Saturday. He got
hold of some booze and loaded up to the
muzzle. His happiness was so great that
about six o'clock Saturday morning Off
GER Dickinson put him in the cooler to
unload part of his jag This part of the
program had not been submitted to Bert
for his opinion, so he at once proceeded
to chop his way out with an axe which
was inside and used by those confined to
work up wood to keep warm. When his
escape had been affected he went to the
tavern and began gathering up his be-
longings preparatory to leaving town. He
had just started out of the yard, when
Officer Dickinson again appeared on the
scene and this time made sure of his
man by clapping the bracelets onto him
and leading him once more to the tramp
house Saturday night he was released,
as no one would make out a complaint
against him either through fear of what
he threatened to divulge or out of kind

A PAGEANT FEATURE.
Judge Royal TyIer's Play VIII Be Re-

Represent John Street Theatre.

One of the interesting features of the
historical pageant to be held in Bratte
boro June s, 6, 7, and 8, will be the pro-
duction of THE Contrast" the first
American play ever acted on a regular
stage The casino at Island park will be
fitted up to represent the old John Street
theatre, New York. where the play
originally was produced.
The Country Jonathan in The Con-
trast," on visit to town drops into the
theatre with the expectation of seeing "a
hocus pocus man." and sits out per-
Torrance of THE School for Scandal
without any notion that he has visited a
playhouse. On being asked if he saw the
man with his tricks, why, l VOW says
he, "as / was looking out for him they
lifted up a great green cloth and let us
look right into the next neighbours
house"
Have you a good many houses in
New York made in that ere way?' he
asks, and is told Not many, but did you
see the family? Well, and how did you
like them?" Why, l VOW, they were
pretty much like other families; there
was a poor good natured curse of a hus-
band, and sad rantipole of a wife" At
the close he asks for his money, as he
has not had the show The dogs a
bit of a sight have l seen, unless you
call listening to peoples private business
a sight"
royal Iyler, dutnor OF Inc con-
trast," was born in Boston, near Faneul
hail. about the year 1856. He graduated
from Harvard in 1916 and then studied
law in the office of John Adams. His
writings constitute forgotten repository
of our most valuable Americana He
wrote a number of plays perhaps
the best known being The Contrast I"
In 1900 he was elected by the Legislature
of Vermont chief justice of the supreme
court. In 1901 Judge Tyler moved to
Guilford, where he practiced law, and
later came to Brattleboro where he died
Aug. 16, 1926.
Plays which he wrote besides THE
Contrast" are May Day, or New York
in an Uproar,' THE Uproar' The
Georgia Spec. or Land in the Moon" The
Algerine Captive or the Life and Adven-
lures of DR.. Updike Underhill; Six Years
Prisoner Among the Algerines."
His writings contain wit, spirit and
neatness of style, and American litera-
ture cannot be charged with poverty
while it has such treasures to draw
from.
