NATIVE INSANE.

According to the information cons tained in telegram received at the marshars office last Tuesday from Deputy Marshal Thomas E. Winecoff of Fort Yukon. a native named John Roberts is violently in sane at that place. and was kept from murdering his family by only the most strenuous efforts of the official and several other people. He is now under arrest, the deputy having wired to ask what disposition of his case shall be made. It is probable that the man will be de tained at Fort Yukon until after the opening of navigation.

SUSPEND JUDGMENT
IS SANDERS PLEA
Fl. Madison Prison Warden Doesn't
Want Hasty Judgment on Honor
System, He Says.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 11.-War-
den Sanders Of the state penitentiary
at Fort Madison has issued an appeal
to the public to Judge the honor sys-
tenn among convicts by the number
of men who serve out their sentences,
rather than by those who escape. He
reports that since the honor system
went into effect at Fort Madison peni-
Tertiary in 1908, only forty-four con-
victs have escaped from the institu-
ton. or this number twenty-one
were captured and returned, two died
after escaping, three were located in
other penitentiaries and eighteen are
still at large.
Warden McClaughry Of the reform.
atory at Anamosa reports only eleven
escapes since 1912. Six Of the met!
were captured and returned, and Ave
are still at large.
Twelve prisoners escaped from FofI
Madison during the present year, nine
of that number since September 4.
One has been captured and several
others have been located and will be
returned shortly.
Warden Sanders says that an aver.
age of 200 out Of $40 convicts under
his charge have been on the honor
list since 1912. The percentage Of
escapes has been small. 1t Is claimed
that the prisoners while working out
side Of the prison walls since 1912
have earned $65. 531.35.

Especial to The Gate City.l
IOWA CITY, Iowa, Oct y11.-Albert
|P. Jenkins Of Keokuk. was elected
athletic mana-er of the sophomore lib
eral arts class In the elections held at
the University Of Iowa last Friday. He
won over John Powers OF Cedar Rapids
by vote Of 172 to 60.
In this position Jenkins will be in
charge OF the teams which his class
will form to compete with other
classes in basketball, baseball. foot
ball, soccer, water polo, and various
other sports.
The elections this year were keenlv
contested as they usually are at the
university. Issues of former years,
however, were practically eliminated
and the contests resolved themselves
into tests of the relative popularity
and vote getting activity Of the rival
candidates. The men who had the
most friends and worked the hardest
won.
University students in their class
campaigns. get good taste OF real
politics. While there are no stump
speeches, the candidates do personal
solicitation work that would do credit
to the most energetic campaigner in
county election. by eteCtlon udy
they know practically how every man
will vote, but they do not stop work
until the votes are counted. Each
contestant has his organization -
bring the voters in and to see that
they have last persuasive word be-
fore they go into the polling place.
Campaign literature proclaiming the
stand Of the rival tickets is distribut.
ed for days ahead Of time. and fairly
showered on the final day. The Uni
versity newspaper carries big adver-
tisements of the tickets. Indeed, no
possible avenue Of appeal to the stu
dent voter Is left unused.

BRILLIANT STAR IN
SKY IS JUPITER
Venus 10 Growing More Brilliant AZ
Evening Star and Mars and
Saturn in Morning.

The heavens are always beautiful
and interesting. even to him who has
never mastered the very rudiments OF
astronomy. 1t is a great treat for the
folks who dwell under the electric
light, to get away from the artificial
illumination now and then and take
peep at the night sky. One familiar
with the heavens writes as follows:
Interesting are the movements OF
the planets during the month of Octo-
Der. although there are to be no as
Economical sensations. According to
data by the Washburn observatory,
Mercury passes through interior con-
| junction October 21; so that there
will be little chance Of seeing this
planet at present. Venus is coming
slowly into view as the evening star.
and By the close Of the month sets a
little farther south than the sun and
about one-hAlf an hour later. Jupiter
Is the brilliant star OF the evening sky
and Is very favorably situated fof OBJ
servation. The planet reaches TIE
meridian at a high altitude in the Tate
part of the evening. Saturn and Mars
are conspicuous in the morning sky.
The former rises over the northeast
horizon in the late evening, followed
by Mars near the same place, three
quarters Of an hour later.
On October .16 there VIII be an oc-
cupation Of the faint planet Uranus.
The immersion will occur at about
40 D. m, and the emersion about
le:43 p. m The planet will disappear
behind the upper limb Of the moon
and will reappear on the lower west
limb. Uranus Is now in the constella-
ton Capricornus between the bright
stars Beta Capricorni and Formal
haut, about onequarter of the dis
lance from the former towards the
latter. A small telescope will be re-
quired to see the planet near the
moon

NERVOUS EXHAUSTION

1rritsbility, oversensitiveness, dispo.
'eition to worry over trifes, headache,
dizziness-these are symptoms of nervous
exhaustion, neurasthenia.
Very often the patient feels best and
brightest ut night. Rest seems to bring
no refreshment, the nervous system fails
to recuperato. This distressing condition
is caused by worry more often than by
any other one thing. Overwork and
worry invite the disorder.
Tho treatment is ono of nutrition of the
nerve cells, requiring q non alcoholic
tonic. As the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed towards building up the blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation of
the diet have proved of the greatest bene-
TIT IN many cases of neurasthenia. A
tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients, is
also corrected by these tonic pills. Your
own druggist sells Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills or they will be sent by mail at 50
cents per box; six boxes $3.50. Begin
the treatment at once before your condi-
ton becomes chronic.
Two useful books, "Diseases of the
Nervous System" and "What to Eat and
How to Eat" will be sent free by the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co. Schenectady,
N. Y, if you mention this paper.

HOME COMING WEEK
DECIDED SUCCESS
Observance at First Congregations al
Church Met With Response
BY Its Members.

The observance of Home Coming
week at the First Congregational
church has been decided success.
The services both Sundays, the mid

ton given by the officers to the mem
bers of the church were largely at
tended Yesterday morning, =, Or.
Beardsley preached from Nehemiah
|lV:6 And the people had mind to

a willing response on the part Of the
members in building up the interests
Of the church. In addition to the spe-
cial music by, the choir under the
leadership Of Mr.. A. G. Garrison, last
evening Mrs. Amelia Barnes Barham

ly appreciated by all present. In
view of the interest displayed, it IS
altogether likely that the annual OBJ
servance Of Home Coming week will
be given a permanent place in the
calendar of the church.
