Shipping Corn South.

Perhaps some people of the city
do not realize that thousands of
bushels of corn are being shipped
from here this winter. Throughout
Missouri and some of the southwest
ern states feeders and stockmen are
coming into Iowa buying corn. Many
carloads of corn have already gone
out of Webster City and it is expect
ed that before spring sets in great
deal more will be sent south. n. F.
Christensen has already sold to Mis-
souri, buyers in the neighborhood of
fifteen thousand bushels and each
day sees more southern stockmen in
the city trying to buy corn.

Chicago, Feb. efforts to recov-

drowned or frozen to death Thurs

shore, were within 100 feet of safe

and became fast in the ice foes.
The women, unable to render as

Water to be Examined.

There has been considerable talk
lately of the several cases CT ty-
phoid fever now in town being caus-
ed by city water. This theory is
not sustained by physicians. as they
state that in case the water was bad
many more cases would be report
ed. However, they will not commit
themselves, as they are waiting to
see what results from the eXamin-
alton by the state chemist of the
water sent by Supt. r. E. Mullins,
Thursday. Heretofore the city wat
err has been found to be in fair con-
dition and although there is little
reason to believe that the sickness
is caused by the water, city officials
did not care to let the matter GO
without finding out its condition.

Returned
AGAINST SCHMIDT
Frmer Priest Found Guilty on
Charge of Staying Anna
Aumuller.

New York, Feb. CLANS Schmidt
was found guilty yesterday of muir
der in the first degree for killing
Anna Aumuller, young woman he
had married through a self-perform-
ed ceremony while acting as priest
at st. Joseph's church. The penalty
for the crime is death in the cleo
trio chair at Sing Sing prison. He
will be- be sentenced next Wednes-
day.
Schmidt, whose defense was in
sanity, laughed when the verdict
was pronounced. He had steadfast-
ly declared himself guilty and at his
arraignment before held for the SUI
preme court pleaded that he be pun
ished by death. Later he protested
against the insanity defense advanc-
ed by his counsel, and last night
said he would not assist them in any
way if they prepared an appeal.
81 would rather die tonight than
tomorrow" he said. ut is as 1t
should be and as l wish it,"
This was the second trial and the
jury was out few minutes less than
five hours. At the first trial the
jury disagreed. Alienists for the
prosecution and defense supplied
most of the testimony at both trials.

DOCTORS GROW
new LIPS from
THE MANS ARM
Grating Successfully Replaces Feat
ures Patient Lost in Mill
Accident.

Baltimore, Md, February T.
With a part of his forearm substi-
tuting for new lips, Ross Allen, a
young Canadian at a Baltimore hos
pital, seems to be in favorable way
to have practically the whole of his
face newly shaped.
Allen entered the hospital about
two months ago with his face dis
figured by an accident in a sawmill
five years previously. His nose and
lips were missing.
A section of flesh shaped to the
form of his lower lip was cut on his
forearm in December and grating
juncture made with the lip base.
The arm was bound about the head
until the grating was complete.
This consumed about two weeks.
when sufficient adherence having
taken place, the lip section was sew
cred from the arm and the lip shap-
ed.
The same procedure was followed
in the upper lip treatment, section
of the arms flesh being grated
across the upper gum and the arm
strapped to Aliens head and shoul-
ders until this section, too, had TAX
en- hold.
When Allen accumulates sufficient
strength for another operation-theI
surgeons will try to build him a
new nose. 1t is planned to cut away
a piece of healthy cartilage from one
of his ribs at the junction with the
breastbone, shape it to the form of
a nose, with the nostril openings,
and insert it in place of the missing
organ.
The skin, which will have been
previously slit for the insertion Of
the substitute bone, is to be drawn
over the bone and healing awaited.
1t is expected that the cartilage
will adhere to the facial bones and
in time become an integral part of
the skull structure. Several months
will be needed for the complete op-
Grafton.

For Relief of Women.

At the Cerro Gordo county farm
ers institute at Rockwell short
time ago, J. H. Carr, president, ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
the cost of installing a cooperative
laundry, or a number of them, in
the various towns of the county.
In presenting the subject to the
institute Mr.. Carr stated that every
farmer present is quite familiar
with wash day conditions. The farm
err comes in from the farm for his
dinner and he finds the house full
of steam, his wife worked down and
putting forth every ounce of her
strength in an effort to get dinner
ready, and the whole scene uninvit-
ing and depressing. The large rep
resentation of women present gave
hearty endorsement to the proposed
reform. Mr.. Carr named commit
tee of men exclusively. In fact 1t
was clearly in evidence that the
men intend to assume all of the bur-
den of the new venture and provide
for handling the family wash the
same as they now take care of the
milk produced on the farm and the
grain and other products.
The movement is a most practical
and sensible one. 1t will do won
ders in relieving the farm home of
one of its grievous burdens. Even
though the farmers wife may be
supplied with modern equipment for
taking care of the family wash the
fact remains that it is one Of the
most trying duties that devolve up
on the good house wife.

THE QUESTION OF
INCREASED TAXES
H. B. Hummel Asks Some Questions
That are of Interest to Each
Taxpayer.

| Eds. Freeman-Tribune: In yester-
days issue you informed your read
ers that the taxes of Webster City
had been increased twenty-seven per
cent. Will you kindly inform us
what per cent, if any, the state tax
has been increased the last year?
Also tell us how much money the
state will collect this year from
Hamilton county for capital extern
sion. Assuming that capital extern
sion will cost the people of Iowa $5,-
100000, which is a very conserva-
tive estimate in my opinion, about
how much in the aggregate would
be collected from Hamilton county
for that purpose?
If you will kindly reply to the
foregoing l will be greatly obliged.
H. B. Hummel.
The Freeman-Tribune is glad that
Mr.. Hummel has asked this question.
1t is time for the people to become
aroused at the great increase in tax
alton. Times have been good and
nearly everyone has been making
money and little or no attention has
been given to the question of tax
alton. AS a result public officials
have become eXtravagant and the
peoples money is being lavishly ex-
pended.
The PREGNANT in it's issue
of January 2, 1914, gave a COMPARE
son of the taxes paid in Hamilton
county in 1913 and those to be col
lected for this year. 1t is evident
that Mr.. Hummel did not then give
the matter much consideration. Pos
sibly he was not aroused to the
enormity of the increase. For his
information and for the Information
of others who care to know we re-
produce the figures then given:
Approximately the total tax to be
collected this year in the county will
amount to $337,439.96 divided as
follows:
