LEGISLATIVE NEWS
Many Bills Infrodnced-Some of the
Most Important Ones

Although the Florida legislature
has been in session only a little
over a week, hundreds of bills
have been introduced and the COM
mittees have. been kept busy Civ
ing them the consideration re-
quired.
Out of this large number of
treasures several propose amend
ments to the constitution. Some
of the more important of these
was the proposition for the init
alive, referendum and recall; reso-
Iutions calling for constitutional
convention and the ratification of
the amendment to the Federal con-
stitution providing for the direct
election of senator's; bills provid-
ing for the congressional redis-
tricting of the state, propositions
for the levying of direct taxes for
advertising purposes by counties
and cities; a bill creating a bureau
of labor statistics and the Office of
labor commissioner; also state
highway commission bill. and
number of good road measures.
There's bill that provides for
the appointment of two represent
atives to accompany the commits
sion appointed by the Southern
Commercial Congress to Europe
to study the problem of rural
credits, and appropriates S24OO to
pay the expense of said represent
atives.
Amongst other bills in which
general public interest is felt is
one that provides for changing
from the fee system of compensa-
ting county officials to a salary
system; also one that is intended
to enable Col. S. I.Wailes to bring
suit against the state for his com
mission on the 81, 809, 1853. Sc Indi-

Strange Accident.

While workman were removing
the flag staff upon the public school
building in GAINESVILLE, an almost
unbelievable circumstance happen
ed. The staff is a two-inch gas pipe
forty feet in length. In some MAN.
ner, while removing the shaft from
its bearings sixteen feet beneath the
roof, the pipe uncoupled and plung-
ed through the plastered ceiling 1t
was fourteen feet to the floor below,
which gave the weight of the pipe
great momentum and on it plunged
through three floors and into the
basement where it demolished the
keyboard of cast-away organ.
School was in session at the time of
the mishap, but lucky as it was no
person was in its range. In one
room it passed just a few inches
from a students seat. while in an
other room it barely missed the bust
statuary of VIM. Shakespeare. 1t is
very fortunate that no greater dam
age or disaster occurred from it's
wild ecapade. 1t was SO quick in
its fight that the scholars scarcely
could realize what was happening.

Boy EleCtrOCuted.

Last Thursday there was horri-
Bile and deplorable accident in the
country about one mile this side of
the village of Church, in which the
life of young boy was snuffed out.
Charlie, the fifteen year old son
of George Gramlich, shot and killed
a squirrel which lodged in the
branches of the tree, and he climbed
up to get the game, and came in
contact with live wire of the cleo
trio light company which passed
through the tree, and was instantly
killed. His limbs and body was
badly burned where he came in con-
tact with the wire.
Medical aid was summoned from
W aukon, but nothing could be done.
The representatives of the electric
light company went out from Wau-
kon to investigate the matter and
see if the company was in anyway
to blame for the deplorable accident.
The funeral took place Sunday
with interment in Church cemetery.
The parents and friends of the
young man have the sympathy of
all their neighbors and friends in
their great Waukon Stan
dard.

QUEER DISCOVERY.
Stove and Furniture Found i'm Room
Under Ground at Mason City.

Mason City, Ia, Oct. 27.-Rather
a remarkable find was made here
today. Becker & Sons are excavat-
ing for large addition to their
packing plant. 1t was noticed that
hole which was opened seemed to
go straight down into a larger open
ing. The curiosity of the men was
so aroused that rope was secured
and one of the men was let down to
a depth of between eighteen and
twenty feet. He came to the bot
tom, which opened into large
room. On one side of the room
seemed to be wall and the only
article of furniture to be found was
an old stove and stove pipe. The
stove pipe fell all to pieces when he
attempted to lift it up. The stove
was rusted with age. Years ago
there was sort of cave in that vi
cinity but this is fully twenty-five
feet from the cave There was no
place to be discovered where the
stove pipe could have been used.
The make of the old stove would in
dictate that it belonged to the civil
ization of at least fifty to seventy
five years back.

n,LnED 81 AUTOMOBILE.
Accident Occurred at the c. G.. w.
Crossing at Oelwein.

A man whose name is thought to
be Teader KilmaZak was run down
by an automobile at the c. G. w.
crossing on South Frederick street
Monday evening at about 5:45 and
met almost instant death.
He was crossing the street from
east to west when struck by the car
which was owned and driven by w.
Ccott, who was going north. When
near the middle of the street he be-
came confused, turned back and was
caught by the car which had been
turned to the east side of the street
with the purpose to run behind him.
The car was stopped and the un-
fortunate man was placed in the
car and taken to the Pattison hos
pital, but on his arrival it was soon
discovered that he was dead. The
body was in short time removed to
the Hintz undertaking parlors
where an inquest was held by Squire
Mcqueen, acting as coroner, with
ID. w. Baldwin, f. z. Wheeler and
w. j. Dodge as jurors.

DESTROYED BY FLAMES.
Seventy-fye Thousand Dollar Loss
Sustained by Fort Dodge Plas-
ter Company: Seventy
Out of Work.

Fort Dodge, Ia, Oct. GA loss
of $4,000 was sustained this NOR
ming by fire which destroyed the
mill of the American Cement Plas-
ter company here. Seventy men
were thrown out of employment.
An overheated drier is supposed
to have caused the fire. Flames
shot up the elevator shaft to all
parts of the building and the plant
was smoldering ruins in less than
two hours.
A. B. Williams of Lawrence
Kan, a director in the company
says the mill probably will be re-
built of fireproof material. The
American comIany bought the
plant in 1910 from the Iowa Hard

There was once a man who smile
Because the day was bright,
Because he slept at night,
Because God gave him sight
To gaze upon his child
Because his little one
Could leap and laugh and run.
Because the distant sun
Smiled on the earth, he smiled.
He smiled because the sky
Was high above his head;
Because the rose was red,
Because the past was dead!
He never wondered why
The Lord had Numbered so
That all things have to go
The wrong way here below
The overarching sky.
He toiled and still was glad
Because the air was free,
Because he loved, and she
That claimed his love and he
Shared all the joys they had:
Because the grasses grew,
Because the sweet winds blew,
Because that he could heM
And hammer, he was glad.
Because he lived he smiled,
And did not look ahead
With bitterness or dread,
But nightly sought his bed
AS camly as child
And people called him mao
For being always glad
With such things as he had,
And shook their heads and smile,
