NARROW ESCAPE
 FOR GENERAL OTIS
Parcel Sent Through Mail Found to Contain Internal Machine
 --Mexicans Suspected.

Los Angeles, Sept. 17.--Anoth- er attempt to take the life of Gen eral Otis, proprietor of the Times, was made yesterday when sus- picious package which came in his mail was found to contain an internal machine. The package was delivered by the mail carrier and had been posted in the city. This circumstance caust1d the parcel to be looked upon with suspicion and the chief of police was summoned.
 IL was decided to immrrsc the package in water before attrmpt- ing to open il. and il was we'll they did. for it was so ingenious lily arranged that the removal of the paper wrapping would cause he machine to explode.
 General Otis, who has kept up a tiradJ against the unions ever since the Times was wrecked by McNanara and many of it's en- ployrS killed, believes the unions were responsible for the attempt on his life. The police, however, believe the machine is the work of MeXicans who are dissatisfied with the policy of the Times i'll regard to the Mexican situation. Otis owns a large ranch in Mex I leo and has employed nothing but Chinamtn on it and this has
 caused bitter hatred of him among the MeXicans.
 Some of the other Los Angeles papers are making light of the affair and profess to believe the machine was not so dangerous as reported and was placed in the pnStnffirr by some enterprise
 ing reporter of the Times. The pOStnff'icr officials have taken the matter up and secret service of
 iicials will attempt tn ferret out who was responsible for the lat est outrage.

STOLEN PEARLS FOUND 0N STREET
London Workman Finds Package on Sidewalk Worth More
 Than Half Million.

London. Sept. 11.--The pearl necklace which was stolen from the mail while it was rn route from Paris to London last July, has been found. The necklace is valued at $q50,000. It was picked up on the sidewalk of this city by workman yesterday morning. The finder did not know the value of his find and carried it to a jeweler to learn if the pearls and settings were genuine. The jewellers had re- ceived a description of the neck lace and while pretending to make an examination of it tele- phoned for the police. The finder has established his innocence, as he was entirely ignorant of his valuable find.
 The police are puzzled to ac- count for the finding of the pearls in such singular man. ner and are inclined to the belief that the four men who were re- gently remanded for trial were respdnsible for placing them where they would be found in or der that,.Ihey might he cleared of the charge.
 Jewellers state that the pearls have not been tempered with nor their settings disturbed.

Today-sals Of Prize Corn Held This
Afternoon.

I The Central Iowa short course, and
probably the last that will be held here
for several years, closed this forenoon,
when some of the students in all Of the
classes took examinations. The num-
! Der was not large. At 1 o'clock this
afternoon the prize winning corn Of
the corn show was offered for sale at
public auction in the court house.
In spite of the small attendance there
will probably be little, if any, deficit
! President c. E. Arney, Of the short
course association, thought this morn
/ ing. The only reason why there is not
! a good sized deficit is because of a
! surplus of $3.50 that the association
/, had left over from the last short
course. The total expenses have been
about 5000, as nearly as can be esti
mated. Mr.. Arney thought the associ-
alton would have money enough to pay
all bills.
College Assigned Work.
The association has been criticised
for holding the short course during this
week. so near to Christmas and the
holidays. The association, Mr.. Arney
explains, was not responsible for the
week chosen. The week was assigned
! to the local association by the extern
sion department of Iowa State College
which gave Mr.. Arney the choice of
this week, the week of THANKSGIVING
or no short course at all. At the time
the offer was made the time to prepare
for short course Thanksgiving week
was Sc shc-: :aa: the only other thing
to do was to take this week if course
were to be held here.
Mr.. Arney said that the present Of
fcers Of the short course would prob
ably make no effort to secure another
short course. unless it was shown thai
there was a very urgent demand for it.

The boy was what attracted atten-

cheap pair, which you could tell by the

his eyes. Now the one mistake Of that
mothers life is she has neglected that
boy. His eyes need attention. You will
find many such cases here in Mar

AVOID sEDATIVE COUGH
MEDICINES.

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain iodine, morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you have a
cough or cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what
is needed That cleans out the culture
beds or breeding places for the germs
of pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is Why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t has a worldwide
reputation for its cures. It contains
no morphine or other sedative. For
