Doctors Disagree.

The common people cannot de- eide so long as the great doctors and wise ones disagree among themselves. They are doing this now as they have never done 1t before. One distinguished gen. tleman from Battle Creek told an audience lately that the world is growing gradually crazy and that the birthrate is decreasing to such an enormous extent that soon the earth will be depopulat- ed. It is not difficult at times to convince oneself that the world is going crazy because each individual is disposed to think everyone crazy who does not .a- gree with himself. But on the subject of race extinction there is too much controversy for any one to determine satisfactorily. On the same day another emi- nent gentleman who happens to be the president of one branch of the British Association for the Advance of Science, reiter- ated the Malthusian doctrine of over-population. He claims that there will soon not be enough coal to furnish heat and power to the machinery that is neces- sary in our industrial life, and he also claims that the produc- tion of food stuffs is falling sad ly behind the increase in popu- lation, and that soon there will be widespread famine and race extinction. Both of these dis tinguished gentlemen cannot be right, but 1t may be that they are both right in part, and that this good old world will continue rocking along as it has always done, with it's joys and sorrows, it's shadows and sunlight. and that those who try to make the best of their sojourn here will

PORCELAIN DUE TO ACCIDENT
How the Process of EnameIing Was Discovered by Chinese Workers
 About 2O6 B. C.

Near the year 206 B. C., in the be- ginning of the dynasty of Han, some workers In earthenware set their pots lp the oven to bake, and forgot them When they remembered them and opened the oven doors they found that the pots were vitrified tn shining spots. In this way the enameling Of porcelain was discovered. when freed of its dross the substance grew lighter, become clear. and acquired a grain as fine and smooth as vel vet and thin, hard, translucent body that rang like bell.
 The art of monochromatic glazing was discovered in the time of the dynasty of Sung (960-12So B. C). Occasionally the action of the fire sep arated the pigments and produced e1' eessive richness of color. The Mon- gol invasion checked the progress of ceramic art. In 1868 Tai-Tsu. the son of a day laborer. dethroned the emperor and founded the dynasty of Ming. whose reign persisted until 1644. Tai-Tsu lost no time in restor- ing the imperial manufactures. He gave the national manufactory the monopoly of the work in porcelain, ex- cepting nothing but the white pottery manufactu, sd by the artisans of Tehua. Under the new impetus all the ancient methods were revived and perfected. The system of three-color and five-color decoration. after a pre- uminary firing. dates from the re- naissance of art under the Ming dy' nasty.-Harper's Weekly.

To Enforce Uniform Weights. Cnacial tO Tndpnendent.

|
 Little Rock, September 2O.- The last legislature passedan act providing for a uniform system of weights and measures throughout the state, or rather for the enforcement of such a law that had already been en- acted.
 It was provided, among other things that the Secretary of State shall "seal' or o. k. every county standard of weight or measure, for which he shall re- ceive a fee of $4 per county, or $500 for the state.
 But the state has no standards. It may have had at one time, away back in 1886, when the first act was passed, but if so, they have since been lost or de- stroyed, and no vestige of them remains.
 That he might put the law into effect, Secretary Hodges wrote to s. w. Stratton, of the Bureau of Standards, Washington, D. C., requesting that the state be fur nished with a system of weights and measures. He has just re- ceived a letter from Mir. Strat- ton in which he says:
 "The government does not now manufacture standards for the states, but recommends that they be purchased from some re- putable manufacturer of stand ards and sent to this Bureau for certification and scaling, if found to comply with our re- quirements."
 He furnishes a list of the weights and measures needed to make a complete system, costing in the aggregate, $2,582.55. But the Secretary of State has no funds with which to purchase these standards, and under the law tests made by county stan- dards are not official unless they have been sealed by the state standards. And so it appears i that the law cannot be put into effect thoroughly until there has been additional legislation. In the meantime, many counties are attempting to put the law into effect for, as a rule, thelr fees will be ample to justify the purchase of a complete system of standards.

Voss INVESTS 100000.
Purchases of A. T. Bennett a Fine
Business Block Just North Of
West Hotel for Investment.

c. L. Voss, our neighbor and a prom
inent citizen of Denison surprised his
friends by the purchase of 100000
block in Sioux City. The purchase
was made one day last week from A.
T. Bennett, president of the Bennett
Loan and Trust company. Mr.. Ben
nett is himself a self-made man, hav-
ing lived until few years ago in
Carroll county and since then has
made his home in Sioux City.
We begin to wonder if there is no
limit to the size of Mr.. Voss' invest
ments. A few years ago when he
made a $4,000 deal we thought it
seemed prodigious but since he has
been making deals amounting to 500,
coo we begin to wonder if the possi-
bilities of this man are unlimited. We
presume, as long as he intends to re-
main in Denison, that the building
was bought as a speculation and that
in a short time he will dispose of it
at handsome profit, and will be in
vesting in still larger propositions. We
are pleased to know that Mr.. Voss
is able to successfully engage in the
real estate business on so large scale
for his success is in measure to
the credit of Denison.

When the way freight pulled into

little Austrian and inquired of the

had been riding to make an investiga-
tlon. From all appearances there had
been a struggle in the car, as blood
was smeared on the car door and over
the floor. Thinking that foul work
had been done, the conductor tele-
graphed ahead to Arcadia to have Off
GERS meet the train and put the three
men under arrest, and message was
sent to Vail to send out the section
crew to find the Austrian.
When the way freight reached Ar.

asked the trainmen to be permitted
to leave the car for a few minutes,

had no sooner left the car door than
he made his getaway in the darkness

came and placed the negro and white

SHOOTING AFFAIR
! DOWN AT ARI0N
Louis GaIIand, Of Arion, Shoots Hen
ry Petersen, Also Of Arion, on
Last Thursday Night.
ENTERS PLEA OF SELF DEFENSE
Petersen's Attention to Mother Of GAL
land Said to Be Cause Of Trouble
-GalIand Gives Self Up.

Because of a supposed injury to his
mother, Louis Galland, of Arion, came
to Denison on Thursday night and
gave himself up to Sheriff Cummings,
saying that he had shot and wounded
Henry Petersen, also of Arion, just
before coming to Denison. He said
that the act was in self defense and
that he was sorry that the circum-
stances necessitated the shooting.
Galland waved preliminary hearing
and was bound over to the grand jury,
bond being placed at $500, which was
furnished, and Galland is now at lib
erty. The injured man, Petersen, re-
ceiyed flesh wound in the leg and
is not experiencing any particular
trouble therefrom.
According to Galland, the trouble
arose because of the attentions being
paid to Galland's mother, Mrs. Hen
ry Galland, by Petersen, who was on
ly recently divorced by his wife, the
grounds being cruel and inhuman
treatment. Both men were in Arion
Thursday and met in front of the Ho-
tel Arion about o'clock, when a heat
ed argument took place and it is
claimed by Galland that Petersen
started after him with the intention
of doing bodily injury. Galiand
backed away and warned Petersen to
keep at a distance and in failing to
do so Galland drew a 80 calibre re-
volver and shot Petersen in the leg.
Immediately after the shooting Gal
land called a physician and assisted
in caring for the injured man and af-
ter being assured that the injury was
not fatal, he went to Dean Talcott
and requested that he be brought to
Denison in order that the might per-
sopally tell the sheriff of his trouble.

Council Decides to Submit Matter of
Municipal Ownership to Voters;
Petitions Are Circulated.
REACHES AGREEMENT WITH co.
Council and Light Company Sign
Agreement to Purchase and Sell
Plant if Question Carries.

The expert whom the city council
imported from Iowa City to estimate
the approximate amount of bonds
which should be voted for taking over
the electric light plant and extending
1t, spent last Friday here and based
upon his report, the city council at
it's meeting on Friday night decided
to submit to the voters of the city
the proposition of taking over the
present plant, and of issuing bonds
to the extent of $65,00O, to be voted to
pay for and extend the same.
An agreement was entered into by
which, if the proposition is carried,
the value of the present plant will be
determined by commission of three
experts, one to be selected by the
city, one by the company, and a third
by the two thus selected.
The law requires that the petitions
shall be circulated and a majority of
the legal voters of the city, including
women, shall sign it, requesting the
council to submit the question. The
petition is now being circulated for
signers. The canvass should be con-
cluded by the middle of this week
and no doubt will be as there are
large number of parties engaged in
circulating the petition. If the re-
quisite number of names are secured
the council will order an election to
be held not sooner than the latter
part of January. The present fran
chise expires February, 9Th, 1914,
and to have the election before that
time will require considerable activ-
ity on the part of the city. The dis
position seems to be to let every
body exercise his own judgment as
to the proposition

BEATEN, ROBBED,
THROWN FROM CAR
VII strokovich, An Austrian, Severely
Dealt With by Three Ruff ans,
Who Beat and Rob Him.
ONE NEGRO MAKES HIS ESCAPE
Thrown From Train, Injured Man
Gains Consciousness and Is
Brought to Denison Hospital.

Wit Stokovich, an Austrian who
has been working with construction
gang on the Milwaukee railroad near
Manning, came near losing his life on
Monday evening when he was choked
until unconscious, stripped of his
clothing, robbed and thrown from the
c. & N. w. way freight, No. 46,
three miles east of Vail, by two ne
groes and white man with whom he
was riding, and while the train was
going at about 40 miles an hour.
Wit Stokovich was brought to Den
ison yesterday afternoon and is being
cared for at the Denison hospital. He
is badly bruised and is unable to sit
up and while his injuries are serious
the attending physician says he will
be able to be out within a week or
ten days.
In a conversation with County At.
torney Bell at Vail yesterday morning,
the injured man told of the crime
about as follows:
He said he has been employed with
construction gang near Manning for
the past few weeks and had gone to
Missouri Valley to spend Sunday with
. friend. He intended taking the way
freight to Carroll and from there run
down to Manning to resume his work.
He was too late to purchase ticket
At the station at Missouri Valley and
met negro and white man who told
him to ride with them and he would
not have to pay his fare. They
climbed into box car and helped the
train crew unload the freight at the
stops along the line and were in way
working out their ride. At Denison
another negro Joined the trio and at
Vail assisted in unloading the freight.
etokoyich says that after the train
