POISON BY MISTAKE.
Iowa Farmer Saved by the Whites
of Many Eggs.

Ames, Ia, March 9.-W. P.
George, a farmer south of Ames,
about sixty years old, at one time a
member of the lower house of the
Iowa assembly, who Tuesday night
mistook a bucket of bichloride OF
mercury solution for drinking water
and drank a considerable quantity
of the poison, has fully recovered.
He was able to be out of bed and
around today. He owes his life to
the whites of many eggs AS soon
as he had drunk the poison he has
tened to telephone an Ames drug
gist, who advised him to eat all the
whites of eggs he could swallow and
to drink milk. He did this and the
eggs prevented the poison from get
ting into the blood through the
stomach capillaries until doctor ar
rived with stomach pump.
A son had been using the corrosive
sublimate liquor in the poultry yard
The solution froze and the bucket
was put in the kitchen alongside the
drinking water pail, to thaw out. The
elder George went for a drink OF
water in the dark and drank from
the wrong pail.

CAN'T BUY FEED FOR STOCK.
+. s. Trimble, Farmer, Files an Tn.
usual Petition i'm Bankruptcy
Court.

Creston, March "a voluntary
bankruptcy proceeding which is
quite out of the ordinary in several
respects was filed by Frederick A.
Trimble, prominent farmer resid-
ing near Corydon in Wayne county.
The most peculiar and unusual fea-
ture of the proceeding is a request
that a trustee be appointed at once
in order that livestock on the home
place of Mr. Trimble might be pro-
vided with food, it being claimed
that the applicant has no money with
which to purchase food for his stock.
The applicant lists liabilities to the
amount of $19,60S, which is also
very unusual among bankruptcy pro-
ceedings brought by farmers. How
ever, the greater portion of the in
debtedness is mortgages on the home
farm of Mr.. Trimble. Mr.. Trimble
further states that he is absolutely
inslovent, and claims exemptions
from his liabilities of $1,055.

Henser Nav Join Professionals.

Oscar Heuser, star south-paw and
captain-elect of the st. Joseph's col
lege baseball team at Dubuque may
launch out into professional baseball
the coming season. Heuser. resides in
Spillville. He accepted terms with
Frank Boyle's Muscatine club in the
Central association last summer, but
later rescinded his plans and twirled
Independent bali in the vicinity of
his home. His 1914 contract, for
warded to him at st. Joseph's col
lege in January, remains unsigned.
Heuser has been getting more money
playing independent ball than his
Muscatine contract calls for, he says,
and he is Withholding judgment as
If the opportunity afforded him in
professional baseball would warrant
his sacrifice in monetary way.

BUT 81 STUDENTS DROPPED.
Dean Stanton Gives Out the Iowa
State College FUNK Figures.

Ames, Ia, March 9.-Fifty-one
students, out of more than $500 re-
gularly enrolled at Iowa State col
lege, dropped out of college at the
close of the past semester because OF
failures to pass their examinations,
according to the report made by
Dean e. w. Stanton, chairman of
the scholarship committee.
Most of the failures each year are
freshmen who have come to college
with insufficient preparation. This
year the adoption of the faculty adj
wiser system, whereby each freshman
reports about his work once month
or oftener to some member of the
faculty, has helped many of the first
year students.

RAISE DRAFT HORSES.
State College Expert Gives Out the
Result OF His Investigations OF
the Horse Market.

Ames, Ia, March 9.-According
to the animal husbandry experts at
Iowa State college who have studied
the horse market during the last
year or two, Iowa farmers should
quit trying to raise light or general
purpose horses and devote them
selves to the production of first class
drafters.
Present prices of light horses are
not remunerative, but drafters bring
prices that give a margin of salts
factory profit, because country and
town alike need the drafter in their
business.
After a years study of the mar
kets and many interviews with buy
ers and users of horses, this state
ment of the situation was made by
w. j. Kennedy, director of agricul-
tural extension of Iowa State col
lege: There is very good future
for the first class draft horse, but
there is practically no profitable flu
ture for any class of light or general
purpose horses, with the possible ex-
ception of the saddle horse.'

ST PAUL HOSPITAL DEDICATED.
DR.. III. G.. Stub Ofiiciates; Prof .. f..
Brandt Delivers Address i'm Eng
lish; Hundreds Present
at Event.

The enlarged Luther hospital, now
named the st. Paul hospital, of the
Norwegian synod, in ST. Paul, was
formally dedicated Sunday after
noon, March /, by DR.. II. G.. Stub,
in the presence of an audience of
many hundred people. Prof. o. E.
Brandt of Luther seminary deliver
ed an address in English. The build
ing represents a valuation of $780,
900, and a $4,000 addition will be
erected in the spring. When COM
pleted it will have facilities for hous-
ing 100 patients and 26 nurses.
The history of the growth of this
hospital is told in the st. Paul Pion-
eer Press, as follows:
st. Paul hospital was formerly
the Luther hospital, on Tenth street,
between Grove and John streets, es-
tablished in 1902, when DR.. Egil
Boeckmann, Consul E. H. Hobe and
DR.. Stub bought the original struc-
ture on Tenth street for $1,000.
In the same year, after the insti-
tuition had outgrown it's capacity,
Charles d. Gilfllan, now dead, unex-
pectedly dropped into the hospital
office and announced he would do
nate to the hospital his seven tene-
ment houses in the same block, val
ued at $4,000.
Sites Are Traded.
Miss Clara Hill, daughter of
James j. Hill, owned the present
hospital building, then the Convent
of Visitation, offered last August to
