Insane Man Hurls Self from Speed
ing Train Near McGTegor.

McGregor, Ia, March S.-A pit
iful accident occurred here today. An
insane man, Thomas Hoyt, of Little
port, was on board the train which
runs from Elkader to North McGreg-
or. He was in the custody of dep
uty sheriff, who was taking him to
the hospital at independence. AS the
train was running about twenty miles
an hour a few miles from McGregor,
the man in a sudden frenzy, plunged
himself from his seat, head-first thru
the car window. He struck on his
head on the ground, but almost inst
antly was on his feet again running
wildly down the track after the train.
As soon as possible the crew backed
the train and the man was taken in
charge by the deputy and some of the
passengers and brought aboard. His
head was cut and mashed in a dread
full way. AT North McGregor his
wounds were dressed by the county
surgeon and then he was taken on to
Independence.

COFFIN TOO LARGE FOR HEARsE
Body of Mrs. Miller of Davenport Ia
ken to Grave on a Dray.

Davenport, Ia, March 10.-Owing
to her enormous size it was impossi-
bic to get the coffin of Mrs. Marion
Miller, who was buried yesterday af-
ternoon, into hearse, and it had to
be taken to Oakdale cemetery on a
dray.
Mrs. Miller weighed almost 500
pounds. She was the heaviest person
in Scott county
Special coffin, ten inches deeper
than the largest size in stock, was
made to contain her body, and when
the measurements were taken il was
discovered that the coffin could not
be got into any hearse in the city.
MRS. Miller died of pneumonia and
until few weeks before her death
was in good health, and able to do
all the work at her farm home six
miles north of the city. She was As
years old.
A year ago while visiting at the
home of neighbor Mrs. Miller broke
through the floor, falling into the
cellar. She was SO injured that she
could not arise and eight men were
necessary to carry her upstairs.

Misses Train; Sues Rock Island.

Iowa City, Iowa March IA rail-
road suit, believed to be without a
precedent in Iowa, was commenced
in Iowa City when e. d. Brig
ham sued the Rock Island for 500
damages, because a ticket agent in
Des Moines told him a train was an
hour and half late, when it was not,
causing him to fail to close a bust
ness transaction which hinged upon
his arrival in Iowa City on Nov. 20.
Mr.. brigham alleges that he tele-
phOned the depot and was told that
the train would leave at 1850. 1t
was due to leave at 1905. He tele-
phoned little later, and was told the
train was an hour and half late.
lie says he arrived at the depot at
12:40 and found the train gone.
Mr.. Brigham says the explanation
given by the railroad officials was
that No. PC got so late that another
train was made up and despatched
as No. 26, and the train was put on
later schedule. He says that fifteen
other men missed the same train. The
allegation is that the railroad COM
pany was negligent and also that
there was specific breech of con-
tract.

Iowa Regulations.

Cedar. Rapids Republican: 1t might
De We'll to send a committee to Des
Moines to beSeech the legislature not
to pass bill compelling all Iowans
to go to bed at O'Clock in the eve
ming. They are passing bills on al
most every other particular of pers-
onal conduct. and why not this one?
And still they wonder why so many
young men leave Iowa. If the law
makers of the state were not utter
ly blind, and were not obsessed with
their own moral importance, they
would be able to see why Iowa is not
gaining in population. This is one of
the states which are being regulated
to death. There are still men left
in the world who want to exercises
some modicum of personal freedom.
Our lawmakers should beware lest
they make Iowa the laughing-stock
of the country to such an extent that
still more persons may want to leave,
and none may want to come to it
from the outside.
And all the time that we have
been passing these fool laws our pris-
on population and the population in
the insane asylums is growing apace.
Instead of making things better we
are making them worse. The state
is in the same position as the father
or mother who overwhips and over
scolds the children of the family. The
continual nagging and regulating and
don ting and must noting finally
either drives the children from
home or drives them crazy or to the
commission of bad deeds"

SAME AS IN HOLY LAND.
DIR. Amos Patterson of CentervilIe
Buried i'm Hollow of Giant
Stone Casket.

Centerville, Ia, Mar. 1O.-Every
cent of his $4,000 fortune is given
to the American Bible society by the
terms of the will of DR.. Amos Patter-
son, an eccentric man of 81. whose
Will was opened yesterday, following
his burial Monday
Burial was typical of the man.
A few years ago he Travelled in the
Holy Land and observed the method
Of burial there in rock sepulchres.
On his return. he had immense
blocks of rock taken to the Oakland
cemetery here, and in one was hewn
cavity to accommodate his body
IN another was hollow for the body
of his wife.
After the work was done be decid-
ed, after private measurements, that
there was not as much room as he
desired in the cavities and he had
new ones made. These stand above
the surface in the cemetery and the
body is covered over with slabs of
stone cemented down. The hard
stone receptacles were upholstered
with soft substance and a pillow for
the heads, and in these the bodies lie.
DR.. Patterson delighted in travel.
He made many trips over this coun-
try and to the Holy Land. He was
intensely religious, being associated
Tor several years past with those of
the Apostolic faith. He believed in
getting just as near as possible to the
religious life of those in apostolic
days. He had his will drawn a year
ago last October; in it he provides
that any one attempting to freak it
be thereby forever barred from any
right to any of his property.

so acres of the Simpson property, one

Mr.. Taliaferro stated that Ringing
asked for $4,000 and so lots, but it
was practically certain according to
the statement of Mr. Taliaferro that
they could not meet the requirements
The money has been secured but less
than half of the lots have been do
mated. However, the citizens were
given another day in which to work,
and they are hoping that some deal
may be entered into between Mr..
Ringing and the citizens Of Lone

MORE S|LOS IN
CARTER COUNTY
MANY FARMERS ARE INVESTI-

BUILD THE COMING YEAR.

The silos that have been erected
in Carter county are proving to be
such an unqualified success that other
farmers are indused to investigate
them and many have expressed their
intentions of building the coming
year.
The silo is shortcut to profit.
1t not only stops feeding leaks on
the farm, but it takes a cheap crop
and converts it into rich feed that
pays big interest on the investment.
The increased value of farm lands
demand the most modern methods
Of farming. The silo saves the crop
and increases the value of the crop it
converts into silage. The silo is a
simple, scientific and practical sue
cess. 1t came as an experiment, it re
mains upon its merits and before
many years it will be difficult to find
a farm anywhere that has not a silo
upon it.
