0SSlFlED MAN Halls
FROM C0LFAX
Frank Worden, Whose Home is at Col
fax, Has Body Of Stone, With
No Feeling Whatever.
WILL LIVE FOR TWENTY YEARS
Can Only Move Eyes, Tongue and
Arms, But is Cheerful and Fond
Of Card Playing.

Medical authorities and men OF sci
ence say Frank Worden, of Colfax,
cannot possibly live more than ten
of a dozen years. But WOrden, being
philosophical himself, adds another
twelve to this and declares he will
live twenty.four years from today.
Worden is an ossified man. He as
serts he is the only ossitied human
being in the world.
Worden was in Omaha a few days
ago awaiting the arrival OF relatives
from Ashland, Neb., and Colfax. He
was on his way to Memphis, Tenn,
for the winter, coming to Omaha from
Los Angeles, Cali.
Worden's body is as hard as stone
and as rigid as pice of steel. With
the exception of his eyes, his tongue
and his arms from the elbows to the
finger tips he cannot move muscle.
He suffers no pain and his affliction
is not paralysis. But despite his pre-
dicament Worden is cheerful and con-
tented. He is an inveterate pitch
player and likes to smoke strong CT
CARS, His only wish while he was in
Omaha was that he could find some
one who liked to play cards as well
as he did.
1t was eighteen years ago when
Worden, then farmer at ColfaX, was
first stricken. His neck began to
stiffen. Medicine availed him moth
ing and physicians told him that he
was becoming ossitied. He set about
to cheat death as long as possible.
As the Justification of his body
spread from his neck Worden saw that
his jaws were beginning to set. So
he put little wedges between his
teeth and kept them there until the
jaw bones We're rigid. And today
there is probably half inch of space
between his upper and lower teeth.
This is sufficient to allow him to
eat soft foods-food that requires no
mastication in the mouth.
The hardening of the body gradu-
ally spread until today it is numb
from head to foot The flow of blood
through the veins amounts to little
more than seepage, and gradually,

the most common source of pollution
is the sewage from towns and cities.
In fact, practically all the larger
streams and even many of the smaller
ones are highly polluted by such sew
age or by refuse from various manu-
featuring plants. 1t is true that such
streams become gradually purified and
under ordinary conditions may be
fairly safe, but the periodic outbreaks
of typhoid fever that occur among the
users of their water are sufficient to
indicate the imperfect nature of this

What the Cars Will Contain.
In the cattle car is an international
live stock show in miniature. In this
car there will be exhibited specimens
of Angus cattle from the show herd
of our townsman, w. A. McHenry;
Herefords from the herd Of Cyrus
Tow, Norway, Iowa; Galloways from
the herd of C. H. Hechtner, Charlton,
Iowa, and Shorthorns from the Rock
wood farm will be loaded on the car
directly from Chicago. Besides this
stock there will be on the train the
first prize pure bred Angus yearling
steer of the International this year
and prize winning Shorthorn steer
calf. These cattle will be furnished
by the State Agricultural college at
Ames. These cattle will be used to
illustrate the talks made by the lee
turers and the points that make them
superior will be pointed out. 1t Will
be worth the time and effort of any
farmer in Crawford county to come
to Denison and visit this exhibit and
hear the lectures by these learned
men.
Points Taken Up and Discussed.
During the last dozen years the
United States has grown about rs per
cent in population. During the same
time beef cattle supply has decreased
nearly 80 per cent The corn crop OF
this year is selling now for 35c per
bushel, or less because there is not
enough stock in the state to eat all
of it. We need more cattle.
In Iowa beef production did not keep
up with other branches of agricul-
ture and live stock growing because
the west was selling beef for less
than the cost of production in Iowa.
With the breaking up of the ranges
and the advent of dry farming, beef
making has been put on new basis
and beef values from now on will be
fixed on the basis of cost of produc-
ton on corn belt farms. Under these
conditions Iowa ought to be. and in
the opinion of beef cattle authorities
will become the center of beef pro-
duction just as she is now the center
of pork production in the United
States.
There is no state better fitted for

BEEF TRAIN TO
VISIT DENlS0N
Iowa Beet Producers Association to
Have Special Train to Encour-
age Cattle Raising.
IN DEN,soN DECEMBER 1eth-2oth.
Lectures by Most Prominent Cattle
Men Of Contradictory
Herd on Train.

The first beefsteak special train
ever run was started on the Burling-
ton road at Glenwood, Iowa, yester-
day. It will run for four days on
the Burlington and this will be fol-
lowed by a five-day train on the
North Western road next week and
on next Thursday the train will be
at DenisOn and an over night stop
will be made here and Friday morning
the train will be open from until
1910, when the train will resume it's
journey west.
This train is run under the aus
pices of the Iowa Beef Producers as
ISOLATION. It's purpose is to encour-
age beef production in Iowa and pro-
mote the beef cattle industry in every
way possible. The train will consist
of two lecture cars, an express stock
car for the cattle, sleeper and diner
for the accommodation of the crew of
lecturers.
Speakers Who Accompany Train.
DenisOn people who are interested
in cattle raising should make it point
to be on hand for the lectures which
will be delivered in the lecture car on
Friday morning 1t is not often that
people of Crawford county have the
opportunity to hear such men as will
be here to deliver talks on the cattle
raising industry. Some of the best
posted beef and cattle men in the
country, both as breeders and feeders,
and as scientific men will be present
to deliver talks. Many of these men
are prominent and people of Craw-
ford county are familiar with the
work they are carrying on. Among
those who will be present are:
Prof. F. G. King, of Purdue uni
versity, Lafayette, Ind, an authority
on silage feeding.
Dean Chas. F. Curtiss, of the Iowa
State Agricultural college.
Prof. w. J. Kennedy, head OF the
extension department at Ames.
Chas. Escher, Jr., of Botna, Iowa,
one of the foremost breeders of Aber-
deem Angus cattle in the world, and
nresident of the Iowa Beef Produc-
ers' association.

beef making than is Iowa. More feed
suitable for beef production can be
grown on the average Iowa acre than
on the same area in any other part
of the United States. The growing
of beef cattle not only promises to
make profits, but it does what is al
most equally important for the Iowa
farmer today, it keeps up the fertil-
ity of the farm. 1t can be carried on
with comparatively little labor
The cost of beef production in
Iowa can be lowered at least one
third from that of the old time meth
DDS. This can be accomplished by
growing better stock, the use of sill
age, clover and alfalfa and by better
methods and care. All these points
will be taken up and discussed in a
helpful way by men who know beef
production both from a practical and
scientific standpoint. No farmer who
has his corn out can afford to miss
seeing the beefsteak special, looking
over the prize stock and hearing what
the lecturers have to offer on

ject of beef production problems and

DENY TELEGRAPH REBATES
Telephone Co. President Scouts
Report of Commits Contracts.

Officials Of the Bell Telephone Company
and the New York Telephone Company de-
MED yesterday that commission contract
was being offered TO subscribers OF these
companies by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company whereby subscribers got
10 per cent on all messages sent by tele-
phone to the telegraph company. They said
that they had heard Of no investigation on
the part OF agents OF the government in
that respect.
Frank II. Bethel. president Of the Bell
Telephone Company Of Pennsylvania and
vice president Of the New York Telephone
Company, said that he believed the report
of such an investigation emanated from
confusing the customary commission con-
tracts made by the Western Union company
with agents OF the telephone company at
public pay stations and the possibility OF
similar contracts being made with private
subscribers. Any arrangement with sub
scrlbers on a commission basis had never
been undertaken, he said, and added:
The system of extending our agencies to
persons who receive telephone messages on
commission TO pay for the privilege OF
placing our booths In their places Of bust
ness has been in operation for some time.
The Western Union company has been ex-
tending it's business in the same way by
Offering commission 10 the telephone
agents for messages sent by telephone from
the small public pay stations. but no such
commission business has been extended to
our subscribers, either on private tele-
phones or TO large business subscribers or
hotels. In fact, the arrangement. or con-
tract. with the large department stores,
railroad offices or hotels Is entirely differ
ent. and would preclude them from acting
as agents of the telegraph company In
most instances they stand IN the position OF
landlord toward the telephone company, as

the way for the Socialist propaganda.
Not until we recognize the meaning OF
trust in leaders and institutions Cor the
masses: not until the reasons for confidence
I'm the strong classes are clear and cogent,
can the tide toward Socialism be stemmed.
Socialism is the logical outcome OF the
loss of confidence in the powerful classes
and the system under which society now
operates. Just in proportion az confidence
r. lost minds are convinced that Socialism
is the only remedy for existing evils which
the American people face to-day.
