GIRL CONFINED BY
FATHER II YEARS

Easton, Nd, Nov. 23.-Grace
Marshall, the young woman whose
father and stepmother are charged
with having imprisoned her in their
home near st. Michaels for nearly
twelve years, spoke yesterday for the
first time since her liberty last Fri
day. She asked for an apple she
saw on the table of her aunt's home,
where she is under the care of a ply
stefan.
Miss Marshall was imprisoned, 1t
is alleged, after attempting to elope,
at the age of 16, with a man of
whom her father disapproved. Rela-
tives thought her dead. Marshall
said he considered the girl crazy and
that as he could not afford to send
her to an institution he thought the
only thing to do was to lock her up in
her room. When released she
weighed but fifty-seven pounds.
Marshall is said to have admit
ted that the woman's stepmother
was the only person who had seen
her during the last three years.

CITY GOVERNMENT
!. FORM NOT ENOUGH
People Must Share in Responsibility
of the Conduct Of Municipal
Affairs.

It may be that some people think
that because Webster City has adopt
ed the city manager plan of govern.
ment the success of the plan here is
assured. But the system undel
which city operates cannot bring
best results unless the citizens of the
town cooperate with officers and dc
their share. An intelligent public
sentiment is needed and we believe
that exists in Webster City, but
there is always room for improve
ment and the individual ought to in,
form himself as fully as possible
Dayton, Ohio, is the home of the city
manager plan, and short time age
Clinton Rogers Woodruff, secretary
of the national municipal league, de.
1livered an address there. Among
other things he said:
"The tendency to regard the form
as of first Importance, and as IN 1T
self effective, is a characteristic OF
the older conception of American city
government. There is still a tend
ency to place entirely too much de-
pendence upon the law and the form
of government; and many are for
substituting statutes and constitu-
tional provisions for the self-goyern-
ing instinct. The newer conception
of American municipal government
involves the utilization of the most
effective forms of government for
the expression of sound public
opinion; and the idea of the city
manager has proved popular idea
because it represents just this
thought.
81 have always felt a very strong
sympathy with the thought of the
late Carl Schurz, who declared he
would rather have the laws made by
Lucifer and executed by Gabriel,
than made by Gabriel and executed
by Lucifer. Ii other words, the first
object Of anaorganizations like this
league and the National civil service
reform league must be to create
sound, solid, substantial sentiment
in favor of efficient, democratic gov
eminent, and then help guide that

MAS0NS TO ERECT

Des Moines, Nov. 23. Members
of the Consistory of Scottish Rite
Masons and there are over 1900
of them in Iowa-are planning the
erection of three story temple at
18th and High streets to cost $780,
600, or 100000 more than the
handsome temple in Omaha for Ne
braska masons, and the final action
on, plans drawn by committees will
be acted on at the meeting here De-
cember 23rd. This was decided up
on at the important masonic meet
ing here last. week.
1t will be Greek cathedral along
the lines of structures in northern
Europe during the 14th century. The
Masons own a lot 1872 by 20 feet in
size and the new home will contain
not only an auditorium, but club
rooms. When completed--and work
is to start in the spring-the build
ing will be one Of the finest OF its

1911 BUSHELS OF
]. CORN TO ACRE.
That is the Remarkable Record Made
This Year by a Hardin
County Boy. /.

| Ames, Nov. 90. Special to the
Freeman-Tribune: Wade Hauser, a
IN year old Hardin county boy, is
Iowa's champion corn grower this
year and with his production OF
j15O.1 bushels of shelled, dry corn on
an acre of Hardin county soil he
broke all records in the long series
of contests which have been held un-s
der the auspices of the agricultural
extension department. of Iowa state
college. Hauser produced about 9
bushels more on his acre than did
last years champion, Earle Zeller Of
Greene county. Because he won the
championship in Hardin county,
young Hauser will be sent to the San
Francisco exposition with all expens-s
es paid as the guest of the Eldora
Commercial club.
1t is quite likely that national
championship will come to Wade
Hauser, on the basis of the most
profitable acre grown by a boy. Iowa
has for two years held the record for
the most profitable acre, and since
Hauser's production was large and
his cost low, it seems probable that
Iowa will again hold this honor.
When the news came of this unusual
yield, E. C. Bishop, state leader of
club work, went to Hardin county to
verify all the facts as to yield, mois-
ture and shelled corn tests and meas
urements. He found them correct
and the 1901 bushels mark was &C.
copied.

FATAL FIRE IS
TO COST JOBS

Pittsburgh, Nov. 23.-The dismis-
sal of Supt. S. A. Dies of the bureau
lof building inspection, his assistant,
William Leseman, and William H
Coster, head of the board Of fire pre-
vention, is recommended in a report
made yesterday by the special coun-
Gil committee which Investigated the

other buildings in which number
of workers have been employed.
The matter Of alleged neglect\of du-
ty of the safety directors was left to
the council.
