Monday
The people of this vicinity received
quite shock Sunday morning when
word was received that Peter Ludwig,
formerly connected with the West Side
Drug company in the capacity OF
pharmacist, was dead at Vail. For a
time it was not known what had been
the cause of his sudden death, but lat.
err We learned that his death was due
to poisoning, committed by himself.
1t seems that the young man had not
been himself since the death OF his
wife about two months ago, this being
an awful blow to him; in fact more
than people thought, for he did not
complain any, going about his bust
ness as usual and bOthering no one.
Mr.. Ludwig is we'll known to all the
people in and around West Side, as
he had worked here at the Patterson
drug store for about four years, going
from here to Vail, where he started in
business for himself and from all ap-
pearances was doing fine up to the
time OF his death. 1t seems as though
the shock caused by the death of his
wife must have affected his mind and
that he was driven to the deed by de-
spondency. During our acquaintance
with Mr.. Ludwig he always seemed to
be very sane young man, one to
whom we would think the idea of sui
eide would never occur. The deceased

he was living at the home of his moth

community in extending sympathy to
the little ones in the loss of their faith

God spared him, but now the deed is
done we join in saying, May he rest
in peace"

MORMON VOTE IN 1s4s.
Mormons Stirred Up Iowa Politics
When They Crossed the State
on Way to Utah.

The Mormons caused a great dis
turbance in Iowa when they crossed
the state during the forties on their
way from Nauvoo, Ill.,, to their new
home in Utah. There were land trou-
bles and threats of violence in Lee
county, where the Mormons fingered
for a time; their religion and social
customs aroused storms of opposition,
and even in the politics Of the state
they caused great commotion.
In the January number of "the
Iowa Journal Of History and Politics. u
published by the State Historical So
ciety of Iowa, there is an account of
the contest between Danial F. Miller
(whig) and William Thompson dem
ocrat) over the right to a seat in the
lower house of congress from the First
district of Iowa. The vote of the
Mormons living at Kanesville NOV
Council Bluffs was the chief point of
contention. In the congressional cleo
ton of 1S4S the Mormons of kanes
vile voted overwhelmingly in favor
of Miller. But the democrats accused
the wings of corruption in obtaining
the Mormon vote, and declared that
the votes should be thrown out be-
cause they were not cast at the right
place. The wings, on the other hand,
denied these accusations and charged
the democrats with having stolen the
Kanesville poll book. The controver-
sy over the Mormon vote caused a
great deal of excitement and was the
main topic of discussion among Iowa
politicians for many months.

TO BEAUTIFY
LINCOLN HIGHWAY
School Children Along the Route Will
be Asked to Plant Trees on
Arbor Day.
LESSON IN SCHOOL woRt
Little City of Grand Junction Gets
Busy, and Passes Resolutions
Commencing Highway.

Plans to beautify the Lincoln High
way, making it attractive in appear
ance as well as useful are now being
considered by the officers of the asso-
citation. 1t is proposed next spring
on Arbor Day to have the children of
the public and parochal schools plant
trees along the side OF the road. Will
liam Miller, professor of horticulture
of the State University of Illinois, and
Edward c. Rumley, of the Interlakel
School, Rolling Prairie, Ind, have both
Endorsed the project.
During six years of residence in
Germany the advantage of their sys-
TEN of growing trees along public
highways interested me- says Prof.
Rumley. "The State of Baden collects
from $25O,OO0 to 100000 annually
from the fruit of these trees and they
also add greatly to the attractiveness
OF the highways. 1t should be pos
sible to create further interests in the
Lincoln Highway by inducing the
schools of the country, adjacent to the
Highway, to set aside a day next
spring to plant trees. This would DO
an invaluable lesson in school work,
as we'll as a contribution to the High
way"
Napoleon Lajoie, of the Cleveland
American league club, is among recent
contributors to the $1O,O0O,0OO fund of
the association.
Frank x. Mudd, chairman of the
Runs and Tours committee of tho
Chicago automobile club, announces to
members of that organization that a
tour of the club will start about June
l, 1915, to the Panama-Pacific exposi-
ton in San Francisco over the Lin
coin Highway. The specific date will
be announced later. Mr.. Mudd declares
that many hundred members have al
ready announced their intention Of
making the trip by automobile with
their families, and with the route
thoroughly marked and great stretch
es improved little difficulty or delay is
expected in making the journey on a
seven to ten day schedule.
Support for the Highway has been
voluntary offered by many hundred
automobile and civic organizations
| the last Endorsement being made by
the Commercial club Of Grand juno
| ton, Iowa. Resolutions were adopted
as follows:
/ Whereas, the Lincoln Highway as
ISOLATION have undertaken to con-
struct a permanent highway across
our country from coast to coast and
that we consider this effort worthy
of support and commentator Of every
individual and organization within the
borders of our modern civilization.
therefore let it be resolved, that we
heartily commend the Lincoln High
way Association for its efforts in the
development of such magnificent
piece of work, that we congratulate
said association on their prudence and
care in the location of the highway
and that we tender the said associa-
ton the moral and financial support Of
the Grand Junction commercial club
in keeping with their ability to con-
tribute"

MARIETTA HAS
GOLF: CLUB Of

By O. B. Keller.

q PEAKING of what a golfer will

onCe-over hereby is bespoken
for the St James golf course, very
nearly located at Marietta (CoL b
County,. ia.
1t is referred to as very nearly To-
Gated because to date there are no
holes in it. BY Text week there Will
be four of them a least. Perhaps
more. As to the putting greens
well, they will not be sand. at any
rate. And If puts can't be made to
sink decently and in order in toma-
TO can-if you can't can them. you
can't. and that's an end of 1t. Also,
you can blame it on the turf. which

tradition or two may settle vaguely
on the later links. If there is 10
He'll Bunker at st. James, there are
no Cow Hazards on st. Andrews, and.
so far as we are personally con-
cerned, we esteem branbles a sharp
er pang than heather.
Which earns at least an even
break for st. James so far
The two celebrated courses. how
ever, have Tree Hazard in common.
Also, there is a stream. known as a
burn, at ST. Andrews and a "branch
at st, James.
oh, they may be of equal fame.
one of these days-what?
FOR utter sxelusiveness. we Will
back the St James Golf Club
against any on earth. The present
membership is two.
The formal opening was held with
considerable eclat two golf balls. a
cleek, a mid-iron and mashie. some
days ago. The entire membership
played. being rather outnumbered by
the caddies and the gallery. The gal
lery was demonltrative in the ex-
treme, especially where a certain
brindled COW was concerned. Not
one of the many brilliant shots by the
entire membership precipitated ha!t
as much interest not to say enthu-
slasm, as that COW.
But the opening was a success.
WE are not going to slip in any
" more geogra phical details con
corning the St James course. The
man who owns the pasture might
recognize his property and put the
whole works out Of business. There
really IS no danger to the cows. UNI
less one Of them should mistake an
acid -cored golf ball for a quinine pill
and the membe rship has voted
against acid-c ored golf balls So ~.
St James course may operate for
years and DAYS before the proud
owner of 1t discovers what is coming
of.
d : ANOTHER ground for secrecy
is that we expect to plav a
round or two at st. James before
long.
