sensation, but who went to pieces,
will be given another trial by Man
ager George Washington Heckert.
A letter from the young twirler an
nounces that he has "sown his wild

ton. Stricken writes that his arm is
as good as ever, and that If he does
not make good will ask no pay.
Stricken started last season like a
house afire. Manager Heckert took
his squad to New Cumberland before
the season started last year and
Stricken twirled for New Cumberland.
The York players, nearly all of
whom were veteran professional play
ers, were standing on their heads
trying to reach the Kids" slants. and

would have won the game, for he al
lowed only four hits.
Heckert at once signed him to play
with the York team and he kept up
the good work by downing the Chi
nese nine in an exhibition game and
then winning five out of his first seven
starts against Tri-State League teams
after the season opened.
Stricken, like many others just
starting out In league ball, could not
stand prosperity and rumors of night
ly orgies reached the ears Of the York
leader. Then Stricken started to go
to pieces and after he had been ham
mered hard in two or three games
Manager Heckert released him. In his
letter to Manager Heckert, yesterday,
Stricken id that lie intends to stick
to the straight and narrow path.

The Lot of the Store Clerk.

At the holiday season, when the
salespeople in any large store are
driven to nerve strain by the rush
of gift buying, much attention is con
centrated on the lot of the salespe"-
pie. In big metropolitan stores,
conditions of living do not seem fla
vorable. Wages run pretty low. Enl-
ployers seemed disposed to make con-
ditions as good as possible. But
they meet certain basic difficulties.
Becoming a store clerk seems to
many young people the easiest way
to get living. They can get job
without extended education. They
gladly swap future advance for the
Immediate dollar. Without prepar-
alton or aptitude, they give poor ser
vice, both to employer and public.
The conscientious merchant finds
many of his competitors, in nearby
towns or perhaps in his own, employ
ing a force of such people at low
rates. They keep wages down for
the whole trade. Better rates of
wages would have to be charged up
to the public, which might not stand
it.
II young people would fit them
selves for higher efficiency in retail
trade, they could make themselves
worth better wage to the merchant
One bright, active, alert clerk, thor
oughly informed about her goods,
courteous, attentive, and tactful,
ought to be able to sell twice as
much as the ordinary run of i'll
trained and careless salespeople
whom one often sees. In smaller
places you will find plenty OF these
kind.
There is little room in the hustle
Of retail trade today, for young peo-
pie who will not study earnestly TO
perfect themselves in these qualities.
In so far as stores have to rely on
ill-trained help, their presence in the
trade reduces wages for all concern
ed, makes store keeping more costly
to the merchant, and finally to the
public

STRANGER SHOOTS SELF.
Harold jacobson Taken to DEBORAH
From Calmar With GunshOt
Wound i'm Neck.

Last Wednesday night gentleman
by the name of Harold Jacobson shot
himself in the neck on passenger
train No. just as it was leaving Cal
mar. The train crew removed the
unfortunate fellow from the train
and took him to the Pierce Hotel
The gun he used was big shotgun.
| We understand the shooting took
place in the closet of the coach, and
whether it was accidental or inten-
tional nobody seems to know. Coron-
er Jewell was telephoned for and the
next morning the unfortunate fellow
was removed to DEBORAH anu taken
to the hospital, passing away two or
three hours afterwards, never regain
ing consciousness.
Mr.. A. Garthus, an uncle, arrived
Saturday from independence, Wis.
The remains Of his nephew had been
taken to the DEBORAH Furniture Co.'S.
store where they remained until Sun
day afternoon, when the funeral was
held and the burial took place in the
Norwegian cemetery, Rev. Otto
Schmidt officiating.
The mother of the deceased and
three brothers live in Lost Lake
Lake Canada, and a sister resides in
Trembleau county, Wisconsin. The
following relating to the affair is TAX
en- from the Calmar Courier:
1.-The shocking news went the
rounds yesterday morning that a man
attempted to kill himself with shot
gun, in town, the evening previous.
On investigation we found man ag-
ed about forty-tive years. named Har-
ry Jacobson shot himself in the neck
with shotgun, on the passenger
train No. s, just as the train was
leaving the yards here.
The train was backed up to the
station and the wounded man taken
to the Pierce Hotel and was attend
ed by DR.. Ellingsen. On the first
train the next morning he was TAX
en- to the Hospital in DEBORAH.
The man had a ticket from EN-
metsburg, Iowa to Winona, MINI.
Letters on his person indicated that
he hailed from Calender, Iowa.
Conductor Foote came back from
McGregor on No. l, to see about the
wounded man. 1t seems the man
acted rather queer On the way out
from Emmetsburg. He had violin
on which he played part of the time.
He attempted to sell the gun on the
train and the gun then was empty.
so we are told.
The wound is On the left side of
the neck, and principally a flesh
wound, and some ar cries severed
and it is thought that he will recover.
He was however unconscious all the
time and could not give an account
of himself. He had something like
$4,000 on his person."

KILL 500, 900 WORTH OF STOCK.
Cattle to That Value Slaughtered in
Iowa to Check Disease.

Iowa cattle valued at 100000
have been killed by the federal in
spectors in the campaign to stamp
out the foot and mouth disease III
this state, according to the records.
The government will pay half this
amount and the state of Iowa the
remainder, to the owners of the
slaughtered animals. A special APP
preparation will he requested of the
legislature to make good this eX
pense and to provide for the carry
ing on of the Iowa department until
the end of the fiscal year.
The federal government has III.
structed DR.. l. d. PaXon, federal Of
ficer in charge here, to make farm
to farm inspection in the infected
district. The herds on every farm
within fifteen miles of an infected
herd, will be inspected. II is expect
ed that twenty assistants will be sent
to Iowa for this work.
According to DR.. PaXon, the state
of Iowa and Dr. j. l. Gibson, state
veterinarian, have given the federal
department better cooperation than
any other state In the union in hand
ling the foot and mouth disease.
Officials of the department of agri..
culture at Washington, d. c., esti-
mate that the campaign against the
foot and mouth disease among cattle,
sheep and hogs UP to date has cost,
approximately, $1,500,000. OF this
total, 100000 represents what has
been paid out iii salaries and ex-
penses to federal and state experts,
while the balance represents the val
lie of the live stock destroyed to pre-
vent the furthec spread of the infec-
ton.
The largest single item of cost oc-
Cured on a Long Island dairy farm
where 3S9 COWS, valued at approx
mately $4,000, were destroyed.
Fairly complete figures are available
at the department regarding the
number of animals quarantined in
Michigan, where the infection start
ed. In Iowa alone fifteen counties
were placed under rigid quarantine,
covering PAP different herds. These
herds include 2,709 cattle, 4,O63
hogs and $50 sheep.

they visited was Lawler, where they
learned he had brought some cattle
to that place and offered them for

stock to the Michael Hines farm and
left them there. Going to the
Hines farm Reinhart learned he ha
been there about week before and
sold the steers to Hines.
Sells Cattle to Hines.
Hines stated he brought the TWEEN
ty-one head to his farm saying that
the stock buyers at Lawler did not
care to take a chance with the ami
mails now, because of the delay in
shipments owing to the cattle plague.
He said he wanted to leave the stock
with his herd and in the meantime
he would endeavor to sell them. How
ever, Hines said that at the time he
offered the cattle to him for $50 per
head. but he refused to buy. Sever
al days later he returned and made
proposition to Hines that If he
wanted the cattle he could have
them for $500. Hines again refused.
However they compromised and
Hines bought the cattle for $500, Civ
ing 5000 in cash and note for $500
payable in ten days. The fellow in
the meantime got out and did not
realize on the note.

Court Will be Asked for Permission

Price.

H. M. Sparboe, receiver of the

fer upon the property Of the COM
pany and will ask Judge Wright for
permission to sell. w. w. Pearce,
w. N. Merrill and w. L. Whitman
have made an offer of $1,000 cash
for the property and if the court
grants permission to sell it, it will
pass into their hands. The people
Of Webster City and surrounding
country will hope that these gentle
men may secure the property and
that the business of making brick
and. tile will be resumed. There is
some opposition to the sale at the
price offered, by some of the credit
ors, and it is possible that the sale
will not be effected. However, the
price is something in which the gen.
eral public is not concerned and the
hope is practically universal that
the plant may fall into some good
hands that will resume the business
next Friday, Judge Wright will de-
eide whether the plant shall be sold
at the price named or put up and
sold at auction.

Will Fix Paving.

A representative of the Des
Moines Asphalt company, so the
Freeman-Tribune is informed, was
in the city short time ago and ex-
amined the pavement put down here
last year. According to report he
stated that it was in bad condition
and assured some of the city offic-
ials that his company would make it
right, either by making proper re-
pairs or putting in an entire new
asphaltic concrete surface. 1t is
quite victory for property owners
to have it admitted that anything is
really wrong with the pavement.
Heretofore it has been insisted upon
that the job was satisfactory and
that those who protested that it was
not were only kickers and sore
heads. However, without an occa-
sionally kick now and then these
faults would never be corrected.
