MEETS TRAGIC DEATH.
John Smith of Elkader Killed When
Bridge Collapsed With Weight
of Horses.

Elkader, June John Smith the
22-year-old son of VIM. Smith, q
prominent farmer residing near st
Olaf, was instantly killed at moor
last Tuesday when the Smith bridge
on the st. Olaf-Elkader road col,
larsed and carried him below, bur.
rying him beneath three horses
which he was driving.
Young Smith was returning from
the field with three work horses and
when he reached the middle of the
bridge the floor gave way and the
unfortunate young man went down
under the three horses. His head
was mashed to pulp and his body
was broken and bruised from being
trampled upon by the horses. The
animals escaped uninjured.
The deceased was a well known
young man and highly regarded in
the community. He was unmarried
and lived with his parents.

GARDEN SEED COSTLY.
State is Charged $50 a Pound For
Cucumber Seed.

Des Moines, June Garden seed
at $50 pound is pretty stiff price
even for the state to pay. But that
is what the state was charged. 1t
is not what was paid. The board
of control bought some garden seed
at the proper time from a seed house,
on competitive bids. Included was a
half pound cucumber seed. The bill
came and it was found this item
was $50. The bid had shown 60
cents pound not $50 a pound. The
bill was reduced by S29.40 and
paid. But here comes a letter, very
emphactive in terms, demanding the
rest of the bill. The letter was ev-
identity written by a clerk who has
not yet learned that if cucumber
seed could be sold at $50 a pound
he could make a fortune quite easily.

greatest skill. They ride bareback
on galloping horses while whirling
brands of fire, Juggling rubber balls
and other articles. The performance
of these remarkable sea animals is
truly sensation and the ease and
quickness with which they obey ev-
cry command OF their trainer, leaves
little doubt but what they enjoy Civ
ing the performance fully as much
as the audience enjoy seeing it. Some
idea of the EXPENSE incurred in pre-
senting, this act to the public can
be obtained from the statement that
these animals must be fed on live
fish, which must necessarily be of the
salt water variety, hence must come
shipped alive from either the Allan
tic or Pacific ocean. 1t costs from
five to ten dollars each per day to
board these animals, varying accord
ing to the shows distance from
either ocean.

True Thrift.

A certain millionaire who owes
his fortune to his thrift and econo.
my, tells this story of a bookkeeper
to illustrate the way in which those
qualities work 20 the advantage OF
their possessor:
| once made up my mind said the
bookkeeper, that / would become the
owner of gold watch. / saved the
money for it in this way: When ]
felt like eating a 50-cent luncheon ]
ate a 25-cent one instead and put the
other quarter aside for my watch
fund. You will hardly believe it, but
in less than six months / had saved
money enough to purchase the
watch.
But you don't seem to have it
objected his friend.
Well, no. When / found how
easily | could get along without so,
cent luncheons ! concluded l could
get along without the gold watch
and the watch fund is growing into
a house and lot fund now.

WARNING TO IOWA FARMERS.
Alleged Cure For Hog Cholera is
Being Sold i'm This State.

Washington, D. c., June 1.-Evi-
dence of what appears to be a well
organized campaign to delude farm
ers throughout the country into buy
ing an alleged cure for hog cholera,
under the impression that this has
been investigated and approved by
the United States government, has
reached the Department of Agricul-
ture. Articles praising this medi-
cine, Benetol by name, are being
sent out widespread to newspapers.
These articles are so worded that
it appears as if the Department of
Agriculture had received reports
from the state of Minnesota show
ing that the medicine had proved
most beneficial. AS matter of
fact the one report received by the
department was an unofficial and I'M
solicited statement presumably from
the promoters themselves. The de-
partment attaches no importance
whatsoever to this statement. 1t has
no reason to believe in the efficiency
of any proprietary cure for hog chol-
era and does not recommend any.
Under certain conditions it urges
farmers to protect their stock with
anti-hog cholera serum but that is
all.
In connection with this attempt it
may be said that the medicine, which
is now put forward as good for hogs
was advertised some time ago as a
means of killing tuberculosis, ty-
phoid and cancer germs, according
to an article published in the Jour-
nal of the American Medical associa-
ton. At that time it was asserted
that the army was interested in it.
AS no more interested then than the
Department of Agriculture is now.
In view of the evidence that the
attempt to create this false impress
sion is persistent and widespread,
| all hog owners are warned to COM
municate with the United States au-
thorities before accepting as true any
statement that the government rec
ommends any treatment other than
he serum already mentioned.

HEN VS.. INCUBATOR.
When the Mechanical Incubator
Came, the Cry Went Up, Hens for
Laying, Incubators for
Incubating.

The hen is having a cackle at the
expense of the poultry raiser and the
incubator these days." remarked an
observing poultry man.
When the mechanical incubator
came, the cry went up, Hens for
/ laying, incubators for incubating.
| Why waste the time of a valuable
hen for weeks keeping a small num-
Der of eggs warm when it can be
done more efficiently and on a much
larger scale by wooden box with
lamp inside it?"
"Of course every hen with the
| sense of chicken quit setting, or
sitting. She saw that her days as a
setting hen were about to be number
| ed and she preferred to do the
counting herself She quit instanter.
| The result is that we have now a
race of hens that fatty refuse to sit
| They are entirely willing to lay the
eggs and when that is done they
quit as promptly as the man working
on union schedule. They leave the
Matching of the eggs to any old
wooden or galvanized iron contrap-
tion that man cares to invent.
And now it is found extremely
awkward to have hens that will sit
There are soma jobs of incubating
that can best be done by hen
Suppose a poultry raiser has a set
ting of fancy eggs for which he paid
50 a piece. He does not wish to put
them into an incubator with 200
other eggs. There would never be
any way in the world to distinguish
the chicks from these Matched from
eggs costing 20 cents dozen. There
is no other way to incubate those
eggs and identity the chicks but to
put them under sitting, or setting
hen. And there are no sitting or
setting hens. The hens are standing
pat on that.
The demand for good sitting, or
setting hens can be heard from ev-
erywhere. Some have tried to bor-
row them, some have offered fabu-
lous prices for them. But the hens
do not show the slightest DISPOSE
ton to resume the drudgery of
brooding over batch of eggs
through hot and cold, rain and shine,
hungry and thirsty, and after the
chicks are Matched out to be burden
ed for weeks with lot of family
troubles which would drive a chic
ken to drink"
1t is explained that the disappear
ance of the sitting hen is due to
breeding and not to any notions of
equal rights which the hens have
imbibed Poultry raisers have been
breeding for hens that will lay and
not for hens that will sit, and the
result is that the sitting hen has been
eliminated. The matter of breed
ing has been simply overdone. For
general poultry raising purposes the
artificial incubator is better than
the natural one, but there are cir
cumstances in which it is very de-
sirable that the half mother become
whole mother.

AUTO HOLDUP NEAR IDA GROVE.
Five Occupants of Roadster Ordered
to Line up i'm The Highway.

Ida Grove, Ia, June 1.-The
first automobile holdup to take place
in Ida county occurred three and a
half miles northwest of Ida Grove
Fritz Pitcher, NJ. A. Massey, Paul
Montgomery, Charles Venard and W.
j.. Hemmill were out riding, and as
they were nearing the top of a long
hill, four masked men stepped out
into the road and covered them with
revolvers. They ordered Pitcher, who
was driving the car, to stop and the
others to get out of the automobile
and line up alongside the road.
They complied, and their pockets
were rifled of about $50 in cash,
their watches and other jewelry
were left in their pockets They
then ordered all of the occupants Of
the car back to town, and took Pitch
er to the top of the hill where they
had a big roadster, and getting in
they fired several shots over Pitchers
head, and left him standing in the
middle of the road.
The latter then went back to his
car and picked his comrades up on
the way back to town. No clew as
to who the robbers are have been
found. Pitcher says that the car was
a strange one to him and had no
numbers on.

Injury by Pluck.

Grace Downey, the 10-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. S. Dow
ney of Madison township. was at
tackled by drove of hogs and forced
to fight them off for several minutes
before rescued by her father.
The Downey family was visiting

the two little girls, Grace, aged 10,
and Jennie, aged 10, had gone over
into the field and were returning
through the lot where the hogs were
when one of the animals suddenly
attacked the little girl The other
sister fought off the hog for a time,
but the others in the drove soon
Joined in the fight and the older
girl ran for help.
When Mr.. Downey arrived the
hogs were rolling the little girl
about in the dirt, while she did her
best to fight them off. A doctor was
called from Oskaloosa and dressed
the wounds, but was unable to tell
whether the little tot had been bit
ten by the hogs or not. Her face
was bruised and the skin broken in
several places, but it might possibly
have been done in rolling about on
the ground.

TIP TOPS BOW TO

Indianapolis Feds Take
League Lead by an
Easy Victory.

Beating the Brooklyn Tip Tops is
one of the best little things the Indian
apolis Hoosiers do. They performed
their little specially at Washington
Park again yesterday for the edifica-
ton of the fans assembled. The score
was to 4, and the Hoosiers moved
into first place in the race for the Fed
eral League championship with the
lead Of one full game over the Chicago
team, their closest rivals.
The issue was decided in the eighth
inning. Carr struck out, and after Es-
mond walked Rausch flied 70 Evans.
Rariden singled, sending Esmond to
third, and Scheer, hitting in place Of
Kaiserling, beat out an infeld single,
sending Esmond over the plate with
what proved to be the winning run.
Rariden took second, but fingered there
while Westerzil retired Campbell.
The game was a free-hitting, go-as-
you-please affair, but snappy defensive
play kept scoring down. Rariden got
two doubles. and two singles off
Browns delivery.
The score follows:
