CASE WAS A PECULIAR ONE
INJURY TO GIRL AT WASHING.
TON PROVED BATTLING.
Many Physicians Went Miles to See
Sufferer, But Could do Nothing
to Help her Trouble.

Washington, Ia, Aug. 25.-Thelma
Ward, the little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Ward, of Titus, died at
the county hospital here as the result
of an injury sustained when she ran
a piece of wire through her cheek so
that the end penetrated the brain.
The accident occurred on June IL
at the home near the Titus station.
The little girl had been playing in the
yard and picked up a small piece of
wire, starting to carry 1t to the house
She stumbled and fell, the end of the
wire penetrating the skin on the
cheek, running up through the cheek
bone and touching the brain. She was
i'll for three weeks at the Ward home
and for six weeks had been at the
hospital. The case was very pecu-
liar one and one with which the ply
sicians could do very little because of
its nature. Everything possible was
done to save the little girls life and it
was prolonged for remarkable
length of time. Specialists were here
from Ottumwa, Centerville and Iowa
City and several of the local doctors
were In consultation over the case,
but there was no hope. The child's
mental powers were little affected,
and she was perfectly bright until
last night. The case was one of the
strangest ever known. More than
thirty physicians were called to see
the case. The little girl had paralysis
twice during her illness. Sne had
just recovered from the whooping
cough when the accident happened.

GOV. CLARKE COMING
Will be in 0skaloosa for the Fall
Festival October 7 to g..

Governor Clarke will give an ad.
dress on the second day of the Ma
haska Fall Festival, namely October
Sth. This is pleasing information,
and another indication of how cir.
cumstances are conspiring to boost
the Fall Festival. ..
A committee of Oskaloosa gentle
men representing the Fall Festival
interests, met Governor Clarke at the
depot Monday afternoon, as he was
enroute to Keokuk. An invitation to
visit Oskaloosa on the date named
was extended and the Governor said
he was pleased to accept. 1t will
be remembered that Governor Clarke
year ago, was a student of Oskaloosa
college,-in fact is a graduate of that
institution. He has kept up his ac.
quaintance more or less through the
years, which makes of his prospective
visit something in the nature of a
home coming.
In the announcement of the appoint
ment of committees as published yes
terday the name of VIII Crozier was
inadvertently omitted. The joint ex-
ecutive committee is as follows: J..
G. Lyle, w. Fl. CroZier, w. |. Rice,

blatt, r. ID. Walton, Chas. Walling,

LOSSES FROM CHOLERA
Treatment of Hogs is Proving Very
Beneficial.

Drs. Killips and Parker have been
busy men the last few weeks inocul
ating hogs against cholera. DR.. Kill
lips says the serum has had very good
effect, as the loss of hogs which were
not sick at the time of treatment has
been under four per cent. The loss
in herds affected with cholera but not
treated has run from 80 to 100 per
cent, one man losing his entire herd
OF ninety hogs. Something like 100,.
600 hogs will have been treated by
the Oskaloosa veterinarians before
the work is finished. Other veterin-
aries at New Sharon, Pella, and Eddy
vile have done much work in this
county. DR.. Killips says that where
herds were treated last year or year
before there has been little if any
cholera this year. This, he says,
proves that regular treatment OF
herds would make them immune. The
situation in Mahaska county this year
has been bad enough, but it is not
nearly so bad as that existing in 9TH
er counties of the state. At a rough
estimate DR.. Killips figures that the
loss in this county may run to $780,.
900. The scarcity of serum which ex.
listed for a time has been relieved
and the work of incubation through
out the state is going on now without
interruption. The hot, dry weather
has no doubt been contributing fac
tor to the cholera, but those posted
say that the greatest cause is infec-
ton which may be carried in fields
for years.

WHOSE DIAMOND RING?
Officers Said to be in Possession of
Valuable Jewelry.

A valuable diamond ring, worth
several hundred dollars, that as al
legged was lost in game of poker,
then said to have been taken from the
winner by its original owner, sold by
him to another through a third party,
and then landed into the hands of the
county officials, is causing consider
able uproar just now among the in.
terested parties and 1t is apt to cause
someone some serious trouble. Ac-
cording to the story told, the ring
originally belonged to an Oskaloosa
man. Now. It seems that another Os.
kaloosan had been harboring grudge
against the owner of the ring for
some time and determined to get that
ring TO satisfy his enmity. A stranger
who was rather adept at handling
card boards was brought In as first
assistant in the plot. A little soci-
able game was arranged for and 1t
was the understanding of the victim
that he and the other local fellow were
going to get" the stranger. OF
course he realized his mistake when
he quit the session minus several hun
dred dollars and his valuable ring.
Twas then that he began to see a
great light and, forthwith, he decided
to show them that he was not so easy.
He accordingly watched the strangers
room and located the keeping place
of the ring. Then when the opportun-
ity presented itself he proceeded to
walk in, get the ring, and walk out.
The ring was turned over by him i'm
mediately to friend for disposal. The
friend" sold the ring to a local man
for goodly sum,-and then the Of
ficers heard of the various transac-
tons. The ring is now said to be in
the hands of the county attorney and
has the honor of being claimed by sew
eral different people, with threats fly
ing all directions over what will hap.

IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Di-
rector of Weather Bureau.

For the week ending August "a,
1913.
Des Moines, Iowa.
High temperatures continued until
Thursday night, and this, with excess
sive humidity, made the weather con-
ditions oppressive during the first
four days. The last three days were
clear, cool and pleasant The rain
fall was unevenly distributed; the
larger amounts being recorded in the
northern and few of the southeast
ern counties; but 1t was generally
ample for the needs of all growing
crops and for fall blowing and seed
ing. except in the southwestern dis
trict where the amounts were small.
Some of the local showers, in the
northern counties, on the night of the
18th were accompanied by heavy rain,
high winds and severe electrical
storms which did considerable dam
age to buildings and blew down much
of the corn. The rains have been of
great benefit to late corn, late pota-
toes and pastures, but were INSULT
cient in the southern part of the state
to have any effect ON the failing wells.
Corn is making rapid advancement
toward maturity, and some of the ear
ly planting will be safe from harm by
frost by the end of the coming week.
While corn has been materially in
jured by the drought, and especially
in the southern districts, the state as
a whole will produce a full average
crop. With normal weather during
the remainder of the season the aver
age yield will not be less than thirty
five bushels per acre. If this esti-
mate is realized the state will pro-
duce about S30,OO0,000 bushels. Rapid
progress has been made in threshing,
and this work is nearly finished over
the southern half of the state. The
average yields of grain, as given in
former bulletins, are being maintain-
ed. Where the rainfall has beeL
sufficient, fall blowing and the prepar-
alton OF the ground for fall seeding
is being pushed. Pastures have been
greatly benefited
