THERE ARE MANY DEAD.

Howard A. Burrell in WASHINGTON.
Ia, Journal: NO tidal wave on
ocean ever rose so high as the wave
OF death, or enguifed so many. IN
finitely more people are under
ground than on top of it. For only
one world full are on deck at one
time, say in century, while innum-
cradle worlds are submerged. Graves
are cumulative. The present popu-
lation of the globe is estimated at
100000, 1000. They go under ev-
cry thirty-two years, or as some last
till 20, or so or 80 years, we may
conceive that all are gone within the
century. This has been going ON
for many, many centuries. We
know that man has been abroad
since the glacial period or ice age,
and high brows put that decline Of
the ice at from 100000 to 100000
years; and further, they claim to
have positive evidence that human
life has cluttered the earth 100000
years. If so, think of the myriad
deaths. You may get little notion
OF the mortality by casting right
about us here, in this town and coun-
ty Take pencil and pad, and set
down the names of men you have
known in this region: you'll get
tremendous list before you know it
and then lot will elude you. You
may recall the faces, forms, tones OF
voice, mannerisms of many whose
names escape you. Names are the
most slippery and elusive things. In
the effort to make a list, with the
aid of many, l realize as never be-
fore how happy were the ancients in
calling the dead shades" They are
indeed, just as tenuous, fleeting, I'M
substantial, like the ghost of HAM
let's father, merely shadowing dim
ly as he stalked across the frosty
platform at Elsinore. The air is
thick with shades, wraiths, ghosts,
spirits. Our hats brush them as we
walk, as we gather cobwebs in cell
lars, only these spirits are of incon-
ceivably finer structure.
More people lie in our two ceme-
teries than inhabit this town and
country now. And the tenants of
the graveyards round the country
exceed by far the present popula-
ltion.
How quiet they all are. We know
where they are, nights and daytimes.
Rip Van Wrinkle choked with emo

DRY lasts century. When the ocean
bed and dry continents shift places,
as has happened more than once, all
mortuary monuments are swept
away. The ocean has been over
Iowa several times. Eckels' quarry,
the Brighton quarry, all Iowa quar-
ries, were deep sea water. The fos-
sis we dig out of the rocks prove it.
1t was the weight of an ocean that
compacted the coal. So, when in
distant ages the ocean again roars
over the corn belt, everything stand
ing will be swept off. Why set up
grave stones?

Regulations Ire UneIpect-
GdIy Lenient.

The regulatory ordinance initia-
ted by the Taxpayers association
was filed yesterday afternoon with

ined by many people and its proyis-
ions were a source of surprise TO

wet advocates.

shape in most of the provisions.
The saloons are limited to one in
every 800 people and licenses are
issued annually, the fee being paid
six months in advance. This is the

nesdays as well as Saturdays.
The saloons must be closed on
Sunday and the mayor may close
them at any time when the keeping
of the peace makes it advisable.
The penalties for conviction of
breaking the ordinance are. small
and have the utmost approval of the
former proprietors of saloons who are
now in the city. Upon conviction of
the first offense the fine will not be
less than $50 nor more than 500
with a possibility of a 30-day jail
sentence. The second offense carries
penalty of from 800 to $500 with

maximum penalty.
The petition was circulated by T.
f. Flucken and carries with 1t the
signatures of five per cent of the
vote cast at the last gubernatorial
election.

PUBLICATIONS CEASE THE
PRINTING OF THE RACING
TIPSTERS ADVERTISEMENTS
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
New York. Oct. 1O.-The agree
ment entered into by a numDer of
English sporting publications to
cease printing the advertisements of
racing tipsters recalls some interest
ing memories OF the origin and de-
velopment OF this phase of the turf.
Although racing was well establish
ed in England late in the eighteenth
century it was not until some years
later that the tipster made his ap-
pearance. So far as turf history can
be relied on. Daniel Dawson was the
originator of tipping. He first came
into prominence in and about the
course at Newmarket during 1907.
Although absolutely illiterate he
was a shrewd Judge of race horses
ability and soon became known as
remarkable forecaster of winners
His fame spread rapidly and his tips
were in great demand by those who
desired to wager on the results of
the various races. He profited ex-
ceedingly at his novel vocation until
he fell in with several educated and
clever rogues.
His new companions hit upon the
plan of using Dawson's fame as a
means of executing sensational bet
ting coupes. He was influenced to
name probable winners of big stakes
week or more in advance of the
races, thus causing heavy play on
the favorite, while other entries
were neglected. Then Dawson was
furnished with poison by which he
eliminated the public choice, leaving
the field clear for a cleanup by his
hackers. The scheme was exposed
when Lord Foley lost three of his
best racers at Newmarket in 1911.
Dawson and a confederate named
Bishop were arrested and the latter
turned Kings evidence. Dawson was
convicted of this and similar charges
under an act which made il a capt.
tai offense to maliciously destroy
horses and cattle. Dawson was then
hanged at the top of Cambridge cas-
tie in the autumn of 1912 before
more than 10000 spectators, many
of whom had purchased his tips when
he was "Toulter" at Newmarket.

Denver. Oct. 10.-If the coal op-

differences with the miners and seek
an early settlement of the difficulties
at once. Ethelbert Stewart. federal
mediator. will be asked to urge a

the unions half way in an effort to
arbitrate the trouble and that he will
do anything in his power to force a
settlement at any cost.
The last outbreak at Ludlow is ex
pected to determine the governor to
take drastic action to stop the rioting
and shooting. He will order out the
militia, it is said, with orders to pro-
tect human life but not property
rights.

Going into detail relative to the
Home School for Girls, the report
says:
'sThe new School for Girls at Sank
Centre was opened June %, 1911.
The buildings have been fayorably

and as to adaptability for use. The
