BIG INSURANCE
ON HIS LIFE
Mystery Surrounds Death of
Millionaire Lumberman l
Body Was Found In The Cellar
OF His Home---lt Was Mur-
der or Suicide.

Duluth, Minn., Aug. 20.-Every ef-
fort is being made by the polio e to
unravel the mystery of the death
yesterday of John McAlpine, the
wealthy lumberman, who was found
shot to death in the basement of his
home in the fashionable East End
district.
The police are trying to determine
whether murder was committed. The
wound in Mr.. NicAlpine's head Ii
about an inch above the ear. It is
not such wound as would ordi-
narily be caused in suicide, declaRe
the police, and the lack of powder
marks Indicate that the shot was not
fired from q point close in the head.
The developments in the investi-
CATION thus far have not support
ed the family theory of suicide, ac-
cording to the police. They can find
no motive for self-destruction in Mr.
McAlpine's business affairs, his con-
dition of health, or his state OF
mind.
The authorities declare they are
at sea because they did not learn
that q shooting had occurred until
the body had been removed from the
basement of the home. The revolver.
a 4S-caliber automatic. was found
under the basement steps.
On the discrimination OF the ques-
tion Of suicide will rest the payment
of $4,000 in accident policies held
by Mr., McAipine. Policies amounting
to $65.OOO are straight life. and are
not contestable.
On the morning of the finding OF
the body. according to Mrs. Meal
pine, she awoke about 2:45 a. m.
feeling i'll. The house was brilliant
ly lighted, The cards were on the
table, where her husband had b.
playing solitaire, waiting for his
stepson, Dale McAlpine, and Dale's
wife, to return.
Finding that her husband was not
in the bedroom, Mrs. McAPine went
out into the corridor. From there
she saw that the down stairs rooms
were lighted. She called her hus-
bands name. but there was no an
swer. She then summoned Dale. He
Followed through the lower floor
rooms to the basement door. No
shot or other disturbing noise had
been heard. according to Mrs. Meal
pine.
There, she said. young McAlpine
found his stepfather. lying face
downward near the furnace. A win
dow, opening into the basement coal
bin, had been removed, but not set
clear of the opneing. There was suf-
ficien' space. however, for a person
to enter.
AS soon as he had discovered the
body. the younger McAlpine hurried
to telephone q doctor.

terrestrial beings adapted TO their
special situation in the universe
Mercury, the nearest planet to
our boiling sun, must he very hot
world. Astronomy teaches that the
people on hot Mercury are organized
according to the special conditions
of that very hot world. Their eyes
are constructed to support an in
tense heat. The blood there circulates
very pleasantly in a torrid heat; the
muscles move bodies endowed with
extreme liehtness. Life being thus
formed and developed on Mercury,
under such conditions. Is altogether
different from that of this terrestrial
life. On hot Mercury our great boil
ing suns very fascinating rays flow
In waves Of gold. and waves of ell
ectricity circulate throughout all Of
'ts beeings. 1t Is the same in all thos 9
other hot worlds except hell.
"God has - adjusted special
conditions for people and other liv-
ing things to exist in the cold worlds.
"'And II there should be worlds
greater than thine own, and inhab-
tied by greater things, and they in
number themselves far more than the
dust of thy dull earth. what wouldst
thou think?' (Byron's 'Cain.D
Compare the smallest spring
branch on earth with the mighty At
lantic ocean. Great contrast, that!
Compare the smallest grain OF
sand on earth with the greatest
mountain. Wonderful difference. that!
"Now compare our little planet,
earth. with those millions upon mil
lions of mighty blazing worlds above
US. Then where are we? We would
be visible to very few of those great
worlds. The great Flammarion states:
Saturn Is the very last world from
which our little planet could be seen;
beyond that we are as II we did not
exist Mt ALL And the people OFFS at
urn. II they have discovered us at
all. regard our scorching desert not

"Our sun Is 100000 times great

times greater than our sun; Cano-
pus is 100000 times greater than
our sun. and perhaps there are 9TH
er suns much greater than Canopus.
There are 1OO.OO0.0O0 of mighty bnaz-
ing suns, the most Of them much
greater than our sun. Now. did God
people only our little earth, which
is but a very small speck in the
great universe. and leave all those

LEGISLATURE Meets
MONDAY, JAN. 18TH
Webster City Members are in Favor
of Legislation for Perma-
nent Roads.

The Iowa legislature meets next
Monday, January 18th, and at this
time it appears that the road ques-
ton will be the paramount issue be-
fore the assembly. OF course poll
ticians are more interested in the Sc
lection of senate and house officers
than anything else, but the public
doesn't care a rap about that. The
Shankland bill will also be live
question, as will the matter OF sub
hitting to vote of the people the
proposition of giving the elective
franchise to women. It. is under
stood that both Senator Chase and
Representative Lund of this city are
in favor of road legislation that will
enable the building of permanent
roads throughout the state and that
both will vote for the submission of
woman suffrage. AS to the Shank
land bill our representatives are 81
lent.

CITY COUNCIL
IN SESSION
Only One Objection Made to Paving
on Walnut street at Reg
ular Meeting Last
Night.
PAVING COMMITTEE REPORTS
Wilson Avenue Pavement up for
Discuss;on-Matter Postponed
for Present.
PAVING COMMITTEE REPORTS

The city council met in regular
session at the city hall last evening,
at which the hearing of objections
on the pavement on Walnut street
was held. But one objection was
Registered and that was sent in by
Charles Evans, prominent farmer
residing south Of the city who owns
a lot on Walnut street. In his OBJ
lection Mr.. Evans stated that he had
paid $500 for his1property and he
considered that the assessment made
against it fer the improvement was
too high, more than rs per cent Of
the valuation. However, Mr. Evans
failed to appear at last evenings
meeting to sustain his objection and
the resolution on the work On Wal
nut street was read and adopted
City Clerk Crittenden was in
structed to prepare the certificates
for the Walnut street pavement and
property owners on that thorough
fare may either sign waivers or pay
their assessment.
The committee appointed some
time ago to investigate the matter
Of paving Wilson avenue last night
reported their findings in connection
with the proposed improvement. Ac-
cording to their report a majority Of
the property owners on the avenue
had signed the petition, asking that
the improvement be made and all
seemed in favor of 1t. The council
postponed action on the matter for
further consideration and will take
bit up again at some future meeting.
The usual bills were allowed.

1900 BUSHELS CORN
ON SHOTGUN LAKE
Steamboat on the Lake "a Years
Ago.-Drainage has now
Cleared % Acres.

A little example of what drainage
has done in Hamilton county in the
past few years may be seen in the
Shotgun Lake district about one-half
mile south of harrisburg. This lake
originally got its name from the in
cident of man loosing his gun in
its waters. ABOUT "a years ago it
was commonly spoken Of as cover
ing forty acres. At Fourth Of July
celebration along about 1880, a
blacksmith by the name of VIM.
Wilson rugged up a fiat boat about
s by 16 in dimensions, put in it a
little two horse steam engine taken
from his shop, and all day long of
that glorious Fourth, the little steam
boat piled the waters Of the lake,
carrying at times as high as forty
passengers. ]. A. Goudy, a &c.
resident of this city, claims to have
had charge of the steamer on that
day and w. H. Perry of this place
and Ibis best girl" were two of the
passengers.
Several years ago some enterpris-
ing farmers started to drain the lake
and this fall saw the sixth crop rails
ed from its bed. John Wilke, who
OWLS the greater part Of the lake,
informs us that in round numbers
the land yielded him 70 to IS BUSH
els Of corn to the acre.
The remaining portion Of the old
bed is owned by Eruce Loban and
has been planted to hay. The exact
yield of this crop is not known to
us. But regarding the corn crop
alone the drainage Of the old lake
was certainly a coed investment.

Big BLAZE TODAY
Ralph Willis Of That Place Sends
Telephone Message to Friends
Here.

What is said to have been one OF
the worst fires in it's history occur
red early this morning in Mason

fore it was under the control of the

and other personal effects. But two
buildings, the Wheeler building and
the store room occupied by the

where the fire occurred. The fire was
discovered in one of the buildings
located on the corner of State and
Michigan streets early this morning.
The fire department could not eXtin-
guish it and the blaze communicated
to the next building and so on until
but two business houses were left
in the block. Some of the rooms on
the street were occupied as residence
flats and some narrow escapes are
reported, though it is thought all of
the occupants got out safely The
