"HIS is the birthday of DR.. Samuel
johnson. who was the first of the
mighty JOhnsons who have speckled
history and are even at this minute con-
costing political tickets. the magazines
and the sporting sections with their
achievements.
DR.. johnson was born in England IN
1903, and this was about as far as his
parents helped him along his way. He
grew up with more patches than advan-
tages and struggled on until the age of
rs in great poverty, fitting himself for a
literary life by living on one meal a
day When he had learned to live on
hope and an occasional loaf of bread. he
went to London and began to produce
literature There was at that time a
ready market in London for hogs, cattle,
tTipe, fish, wood, butter and Yarmouth
bloaters, but nobody had any use for
literature and johnson lived on yester-
days breakfast and tomorrow's pros
poets for many years, producing novels
and dictionaries on piecework pay and
learning to dodge a bill collector or a
constable with an almost incredible
dizziness. In 1862, his merits were
recognized by powerful nObleman and
he was granted pension which was
equivalent to writing best seller in
these days.
johnson lived thereafter in great
comfort and at the top of his voice for
many years, producing books profusely
and arguing many hours day on vast
number of topics while surrounded by
admiring friends He was a pOnderous
man with two acre face, several ehins
and a great, shaggy voice, with which
he used to blow his opponents out of
range with a mighty blast of percheron
adjectives, thus closing every argument.

BABY BOY DROWNED.
Little Son of MIR. and Mrs. Harvey
TOpe of West Union Falls
i'm Tank.

The baby son of Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
vey Tope, northeast of the city, was
accidentally drowned Monday after
noon in a stock watering tank. Mrs.
Tope was alone at home with the
three children, of whom the little
boy was the youngest, he being not
quite fifteen months old. The stock
watering tank was on sloping ground
and was uncovered, and there had
been some fear that it was not quite
safe, so when Mrs. Tope noticed that
the baby was not with the other chill
dren she fastened to the tank and
found his lifeless body floating face
downward. DR.. King was called and
worked for about three hours trying
to resuscitate the child but with no
sign of success at any time. Mr.. Tope
was in town at the time, and he and
the neighbors were also summoned
by phone by Mrs. Tope. The family
live in the Herb Kent neighborhood
not quite three miles from town.

something appeared to be wrong with

ing through the wide door, the ma
chine took header through a large
plate glass window, with twelve
inch base just to the north of the
door. In about the center of the
window stands a gasoline pump and
the motorcycle passed through the
two feet of space between this pump
and the south window casing. The
back of one of Burkhart's hands was
cut slightly by the glass, as was one
OF his shoulders. The machine was

Have Big Beet Crop.

Clear Lake, Sept. 16.-One of the
heaviest beet crops in a number of
years is expected this season by those
interested in the crops and the farm
ers west of the city along the Mason
City and Clear Lake railroad. Those
that seeded their entire farm to
sugar beets this year will make a
mint of money. 1t is stated that
every acre of land west of town on
which sugar beets were grown will
average 800 easily. The weather
has been ideal this summer for the
growth of beets. Partially wet
weather interspersed at regular in
tervals with warm hot days is the
most ideal weather conditions for
the sugar beet growth that could be
asked for. The loading stations
west of here and also the refining
factories near here anticipate an un.
usually heavy business. 1t is stated
nearly two-thirds of the entire croI
this year will be handled from the
Emery loading station. The re
mainder will be taken care of at the
stock yard near Clear Lake. A new
loading plant is being hurried at thi!
point to take care of the large ship
ments.

hours for a week. He found that

the corn had made growth of 81
inches, or an average of a little over
five and one-half inches a day. For
the first thirty hours Of the time,
the corn's growth was eight and one
half inches. The longest growth for
the day was six inches, and the
shortest growth was four and three
quarter inches. During the time the
measurements were taken the
weather was hot, as a consequence
the growth was rapid and even.-

Then Commits Suicide

Council Bluffs, Ia, Sept. LITTLE
bodies of Martin Thompson, a we'll
TODD farmer, his wife Caroline, and
their eight-year-old son, Raymond,
were found shortly after noon today
in their home six miles southeast of
Council Bluffs, with their throats cut
and the heads of the woman and boy
crushed with hammer The cir
cumstances surrounding the crime
and note left by the man indicate
that he killed his wife and son while
they slept and then committed sui
eide. So far, no motive for the deed
has been discovered, and the man is
believed to have been insane.
The bodies were lying side by side
on the kitchen floor. The knife with
which their threats were cut lay by
the side of the man. The beds were
soaked with blood, indicating that
the murders were committed while
the victims slept, the bodies being
afterwards taken to the kitchen. All
were in their night clothes. The
crimes were committed last night, as
the family is known to have been
alive yesterday afternoon.

HORSE PLAGUE REACHES IOWA.
MaIady Which Has Decimated Kan
saS and Nebraska Herds
Crosses Border.

The disease which has been cpl
demic in Kansas and parts of Ne
braska recently, killing great num-
Der of horses, has crossed the Mis-
souri, river and several animals have
died near Shenandoah, Clarinda and
Pacific Junction, in Page and Mills
counties, Iowa.
DR.. d. HI. Miller of Council Bluffs,
assistant state veterinarian, has dis
sected several of the cases in these
places and was Joined by DR.. ]. /.
Gibson of Des Moines, Iowa, head of
and DR.. Chas. H. STANCE, dean of the
veterinarian department of the Iowa
state college at Ames. The three
will spend some time in this vicinity
watching the progress of the disease
with a view OF securing knowledge
of its cause and If possible provide
a remedy.
DR.. Gibson has been keeping in
close touch with the situation in
Kansas and has had much oollu.,;ni-
cation with the authorities there
He is convinced that the disease is
exactly like that which has appeared
repeatedly in sporadic cases only,
anu nulnUCi vi SuCll Eases were
reported last year about this time.
1t has never before become cpl
demic as in Kansas. The explana-
ton in Iowa is that it is due to the
mould or decay on rank grass which
is eaten by the horses. Animals kept
in barns and fed dry feed and water
from wells never have it.
A big conference of Nebraska YER
erinarians was held at Lincoln and
one was held at Topeka. Gov.
Stubs called on the agricultural de-
partment for aid several times and
not receiving any help sent a hot
message to President Taft apprising
him of the situation. In that state
over 5000 horses died in two weeks.
1t is believed that as soon as frost
comes the epidemic will be at an
end. There will undoubtedly be
cases reported in Iowa. The effect
of tn poison taken by the horses in
forage is to produce spinal men
ingitic or form of infantile paralysis.
