alysis yesterday which has rendered
him partially helpless, and without
the use of his lower limbs. He has
his power of speech, in a measure,
but is considered by the attending
physician to be in a serious condi-
tion OF account of his advanced
years and other ailments which have
been troubling him for some time
past. A son in Granada, Mimi, was
telegraphed for yesterday but has
not yet been heard from. His friends
will regret to learn OF his serious

Myriads of Gnats.

Pedestrians were annoyed Satur-
day afternoon and today on Second
street by millions Of tiny gnats
which filled the air. Some of the
streets were so full of these insects
that they hung like cloud just about
the right height to annoy pedestri-
ans. They were small enough to be
breathed into the nostrils and got
into the eyes and ears of many per-
sons. The intense humidity of the
atmosphere is thought to have been
responsible for their presence.

NEARLY A HUNDRED
GUESTS PRESENT
Silver Wedding Anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Vegors is
Celebrated.

On Friday evening, Sept 10th
relatives, neighbors and friends
nearly one hundred in number
gathered at the pleasant farm home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Vegors neal
Homer, in response to invitations is
sued by their daughter, Miss Bertha
and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Verne VS..
gors, they having requested the
guests to assist them in celebrating g
the 25th wedding anniversary of
their parents.
The exact date of this event be-
ing Sept. 18th, no suspicious were
aroused, and the arrival of guests in
such numbers was complete sur
prise to the honored parties. They
soon, however, recovered from this
shock and became the affable host
and hostess to the unexpected
guests.
Some time had elapsed since so
pretentious a gathering of Homer
people, and the evening was most
thoroughly enjoyed by the guests,
most of whom had been intimately
associated with the bride and groom
of twenty-five years ago since the
time of their marriage.
During the evening, music was
furnished by the daughters of the
house, and later Rev. J. H. Eslick,
in few we'll chosen words express
ed in behalf of the company, their
pleasure in thus showing their ap-
probation of these valued friends,
and all Joined him in extending con-
gratulations upon their having
reached the 25th mile stone of their
welded life, and upon the success
which they had obtained during al
these years. In reviewing the years
he knew that their lives as all lives
are, had been not unmixed with sor-
row, yet together they had endured
was the hope of their friends that
another twenty-five years might find
them enjoying their golden wedding
together. Individual congratulations
,ollowed and the beautiful gifts of
silver in commemoration of the day
we're exhibited.
A bountiful tray supper was serv-
ID in two courses at 1880 o'clock
md after another season of social
Intercourse, the guests departed ap-
proving heartily of the sentiment
by one of their number:

Those are silver, these are gold"

Blood Poisoning in Arm.

]. c. Porter, who live three miles
south of town, is suffering with a
severe case of blood poisoning in his
left arm. In throwing out his arm
to close the barn door, John hit a
rusty nail which penetrated the skin
and caused an ugly wound. This
happened at noon yesterday and at
midnight last night the home rem
edies used on the wound failing to
give relief, he was compelled to
come to town and have the injured
member dressed by a physician.

SALE OF LEASE LEADS
TO A BIG Law SUIT
Fort Dodge Man who Sold Interest
in Wahkonsa Hotel Asked
to pay Damages.

Fort Dodge Chronicle: A. J. Nor
ton who this week disposed of tn,
lease of the Wahkonsa hotel to F. G.
Warden for 100000 in cash, ha:
been made defendant in two suits
that were brought late Friday after.
noon, the total amount being asked
for in the two petitions amounting
to $26,S00. One of the civil actions
filed by J. B. julius and Edward Awe
asks judgment in the sum of $4,000
for non-fuifillment of an oral con-
tract to sell for 100000, part cash
and part secured by notes and mort
cages. The other action is brought
by Michael Tierney, who asks $1,S0O
as his commission for producing Ju-
Illus and Awe as purchasers of the
lease. The actions are of unusual
interest, made so not only by the
large amount of damages asked but
because of the fact that the sale of
the hotel lease to Mr.. Warden is
one of the largest cash transactions
that has ever been carried out in
this city.
In the action of Julius and Awe,
the plaintiffs aver they transacted
business jointly under the title of
julius and Awe. That on the 18th
day of July they entered into con-
tract, not written, with the defen-
dant, A. J. Morton, and that the de-
fendant promised he would not sell
to the plaintiffs the leasehold and
assign leases of sub-tenants if the
plaintiff would pay 100000, said
consideration to be paid on or be-
fore September 1, 1915.
The plaintiffs claim that later the
contract was modified, the defend
ant agreeing to accept $4,000 cash
on or before September / and upon
execution of certain notes, to secure
notes with chattel mortgages on
property sold, the notes to draw in
tGest at eight per cent.
i is also alleged that the defendant
asked at various times during the
month of August what arrangements
were being made by the plaintiffs to
provide the $4,000 cash in order
that they might keep their agree
ment. The plaintiffs state they as
sured the defendant that they were
sacrifices by putting mort
cages on property and otherwise en-
deavoring to get the necessary
amount of money and also that they
would have $4,000 in cash to COM
plete the deal per schedule. The
plaintiffs claim that they spent
$4,000 trying to get the money and !
did get it. Also that the defendant
urged them to make sacrifices to
raise the money. Julius and Awe
claim that Morton promised them
his word was as good as his bond :
and that he would sell the leasehold {
as per oral contract.
Plaintiffs aver the defendant was
at all times apprised and we'll knew j
what efforts were being made to OBJ 1
tain the money and that he we'll l
knew that plaintiffs would obtain l
and procure $4,000 on or before T
September 1. {

Poison Tablets Guarded.

Various methods designed to pre-
vent the mistaking of bichloride of
mercury for medicine, or some other
harmless substance, have been pro-
posed with the idea of making it pos
sible to use this deadly poison as an
antiseptic without mourning any dan
ger. Two of the latest of these are
extremely simple but evidently effec-
tive. One method consists In string
ing the tablets together and then bot
Ting them in the usual manner. A
tablet can only be detached by cutting
the string, and this apparently does
away with all possibility Of mistake.
The other method is to incase the tab.
lets in metal guards 80 that 1t is i'm

can be dissolved with the guard In
place or can easily be removed from
