 HOW IT'S DONE
German Commission in America Studying Efficiency of Ath-
 Ietic Training.

Chicago, Sept. l5.--The mem bers of the German athletic con- mission, which is in America studying the methods of train- ing which enabled Americans to carry off the leading prizes at the Olympic games, are in the city. They predict that Germany will win the chief events at the next meet.
 The splendid triumph of the American contestants who won the games with S5 points. more than double that scored by any other country, caused the other nations to wonder what system American trainers used which produced such athletics. The commission has visited the col leges and athletic clubs in all the principal cities of the east and believe that America's success is due to the fact that her athletes keep in constant training.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER -
There are enough public minded men
in Cresco who are willing to defray
the expense of an investigation of the
manner in which our city affairs are
run. and if it is found that there is no
irregularity they will pay all expense
of said investigation, so that it will be
no cost to the taxpayers. All they are
requested to do is to sign petition to
the Governor of State to appoint a
committee Of investigation. If there
are irregularities, the taxpayers will
be we'll rewarded for their trouble.
So if some person should call on you to
sign this petition, you know what it is
Tor and need fear no one. You have
this right. BY all means, let US have
an investigation. D. BARNES.

die Of hard work.
Col. McConlogue is we'll qualified for
his new and digni6ed honors. The
governor took into consideration many
matters in this selection. First, he

two business men, w. J. Dixon, Of Sac
City, term expires July l, 1917, and
Anthony NJ. McColi of Woodward,
term expires July 1919 warm the other
seats on the executive board. Mr..
Wade, deceased, was the former chair
man. Besides being a lawyer, Mr..

Boy Killed in Strange Accident.

Ed. Wolf, aged IA years, a son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Wolf, who reside on
the Slawson farm, one mile south of
Granger. was almost instantly killed
Wednesday forenoon at about 10:3O.
He, with another brother, Carl, in the
absence of their father, had attached
an iron pipe to grindstone and had
belted from this to the fy-wheel Of q
gasoline engine, and the boy killed was
attempting to grind an axe on the
stone. As it was running at terrific
speed, sharpening the axe was impos-
sible and Carl attempted to shut off
the engine. and in some way the grind
stone was given sudden jerk over
against the fy-wheel of the engine,
breaking the stone into fragments, one
piece striking Ed. just below the heart
and another in the face, but it was the
injury to the heart that was fatal.
Other pieces of the stone were scatter
ed in every direction and hurled long
distances. ...... .....t
DOCTOR Ilerney, OF Granger was
summoned and administered stimulants
but Of no avail and death resulted in
about 20 minutes after the accident.
The father was IN Cresco on business
at the time and was found and sum-
moned home, and the mother was also
on the way to Cresco but was stopped
at neighbor's.
The deceased was bright. manly
boy, and the stricken family have the
sympathy of all in their sorrow.
The funeral will take place Friday
afternoon at O'Clock at the Germ an
Lutheran church, short serv ice being
held at the home at 10 O'Clock in the
fore noon. r E.a
