PROBE DEATH INSANE PATIENT
State Officials Called to POstville-
Bruises on Dead Body.

Waukon, Iowa, Oct 20.-Mem-
bers of the board of control of
state institutions and the superin-
tendent of the state hospital for in
sane at Independence, together
with the county attorney of ALA
makee county and others interest
ed are at Postville, for the purpose
of making an inquiry into allega-
tons concerning the cause of the
death of an insane patient in the
state hospital.
1t seems that the man was sent
from Postville only a week or so
ago and that he was very violent
and had to be held by two or three
persons all the time to avoid doing
himself injury. His decline was
rapid and he died soon after going
to the state hospital. The report
of the superintendent and the at
tending physician and undertaken
at independence showed he had
died from a blood poison which
caused his insanity.
On the arrival of the body at
Postville, however, it is stated that
a local undertaken found evidence
of some bruises on the body of the
man and he also declared that his
neck had been broken. When this
statement came to the attention OF
the state authorities they remanded
that the body be exhumed and an
examination be made in the pres
ence of the superintendent of the
hospital and state authorities. This
is to be done now.

Anamosa Lawyer Loses $4,000.

George c. Lawrence, lawyer OF
Anamosa, Iowa, told jury in dis
trict court of the purchase OF six
thousand acres of land in northern
Minnesota on which he had paid
$4,000, under representations
that the tract would be colonized by
a st. Louis company organized with
supposed 100000 capital, to
bring European farmers to Mime
sofa. When he investigated the
company in st. Louis he found its
offices to consist of two small rooms
in an old building, desk and type
writer on which $40 has been paid.
He also discovered, he testified,
that two of the companys principal
stockholders were serving terms in
the federal prison at Fort Leaven-
worth for fraudulent activities.
Lawrence wept bitterly while on the
witness stand explaining that his
tears were caused by the fact that
he had used his influence to induce
friends and relatives to invest their
money in the venture which he de-
clared had turned out to be fraud.

Voting By Electricity.

Washington Times: The proposal
to install in the chamber of the
house of representatives an electri-
cal contrivance with which mem
bers may vote instantaneously by
pressing a button really deserves
consideration. 1t would be embar-
RAISING to many members to have
to vote without the privilege of
waiting, passing and seeing how
somebody else voted; which embar-
rassment might very we'll contribute
finally to developing much need
ed independence in action. But
really, so long as legislation is to be
made in legislative caucus to which
political partys membership is
bound, why not install an appara-
tus by which the chairman of the
caucus shall megaphone his par
tvs vote on behalf of all the other
members? That would save time
and also some money.

WILL SEARCH FOR GOLD.
Tradition Has 1t That Gold is Bur-
led i'm Hill Near McGregOr.

: McGregor, Iowa, Oct. 20.-The
arrival of C. w. Graham with a
newly patented gold locating ma
chine to hunt for the gold that is
supposed to be buried in one of the
hills near McGregor has revived in
terest in the old tradition of buried
treasure. The story dates back to
the days of Fort Crawford and ear
ly troubles with the Indians. A
variety of stories have been handed
down. One is that several soldiers
from the fort crossed the MISSISSIPPI
pi at one time to McGregor's Land
ing with $4,000 in gold on their
way to FIT. Atkinson to pay off the
garrison. On landing here they
were surprised and killed by Indi-
ons but not before they had time to
bury the gold on one of the hills,
supposedly the Heights hill, now US
ed as summer resort. Another
story has it that on a threatened at
tack on Fort Crawford, two soldiers
were sent off in a canoe to bury a
quantity of gold and that while out
in the Mississippi the canoe capsiz-
ed and the gold went to the bottom
A third tale is that sack of gold
was buried near Fort Crawford dur
ing an attack by Indians. In the
days when the first settlers came
into this part of the country there
was firm belief in these stories of
buried treasure and frequent hunts
were made for it especially in the
hills around here.
In coming to McGregor with his
gold magnet the other day Mr.. Ora
ham first carried it around the hills,
but finding, as he said, that it con-
stantly pointed east, he finally
walked over the pontoon bridge with
it to Prairie du Chen. After reach
ing Prairie he declared the needle
veered Immediately from east to
south. He followed the direction
indicated and was led straight to the
ruins of Fort Crawford. Here the
instrument showed that gold was in
the immediate neighbOrhood. The
however, were so feeble
that he believes the treasure is not
of great value. He states that he
expects to return shortly and make
a more diligent search.

A Shameful Trick.

Last Sunday night during the
services the Methodist church some
miscreant poured a quantity of mo-
lasses upon the church steps. When
the attendants at the services came
out they walked into the sticky sub
stance and many of the ladies had
their garments badly soiled. That
anyone should be so depraved as to
thus desecrate the Lords house on
the Lords day is hard to compre-
bend. The guilty party should be
searched out and made to pay the
penalty such an act deserves. Ii
the guilty one has spark of man
hood it is hoped it will burn his
conscience and arouse his thimble-
full of brains to a realization that
the public will not stand for such
acts as referred to.-Buffalo Center

Webster City, Iowa, Oct. 90

million of dollars.
This company will manufacture
and market the telephone meter in

None of the stock in this mammoth
company will be offered for sale

cally spoken for by big eastern cap
italists. Of course Mr.. Martin ex-
poets to let in few of his locZl
friends, but outside this there will
be no stock offered here.

basic patent and consequently has
absolutely no competition. 1t meas
ures accurately the exact time con-
sumed in using telephone. With
the meter attachment telephone
rates will be based on the number
of minutes used up on individual

seeking for years and the predic-
ton is made that the Martin meter
will be in general use over the

years One dollars worth of orig

He imported stays from Hamburg two
years ago. One of them was known as

Being naturalized German, the tele-

agree that there was any cause for de-
light. Instead he confiscated the tele-
gram and informed the German consul
at Buenos Aires of its contents.
The consul made inquiries and re-

foreign minister at Berlin: the foreign
minister made inquiries and reported
the matter to such good effect that

What King Peter Pays His Cook

Life in Belgrade Is somewhat austere
after the gaieties of London and Paris,
says London Life Then the tragedy of
the abominable assassination of King
Alexander and Queen Draga hangs over
the palace and King Peter. This mon
arch, since he accepted the invitation of
the assassins of his predecessor to reign
over Servia, has apparently done his best
to appear to the world as respectable
ruler and king. He is an early riser, and
a man of simple tastes. King Peter like
his brother monarch of Montenegro, does
not believe in paying high salaries to his
servants, and some time ago was told
by French chef of my acquaintance
that he had the impudence to advertise
for cook for f6 per month salary.
"Ah,'' said my informant, with a char
acteristic shrug of the shoulders ''mon
dieu, can one wonder that there are so
many socialists and republicans in the
world when king wants to pay a maitre
de cuisine &c per month? 1t demands
revolution" King Peter is a man of
powerful physique and iron nerve, and
had he not been called to the blood
stained throne of Servia he could have
earned his living as heavy weight
boxer, an art that was impaired to him
by M. Paul Vigny, the we'll known
maitre d'armes. who also rendered him
one Of the most expert swordsmen In
Europe
