Northwood. Dec. Cole A. Tonga, a
prominent farmer living west of town,
met his death in a horrible manner and
just what suffering he went thru will
never be known. Mr.. Tonga was found
about 10 O'Clock by members of his
family In the hog pen on the premises,
his body badly mutilated by the hogs.
Mr.. Tonga had told his family that
after feeding the hogs he expected to
go to the neighbors for a few hours
visit and nothing was thought of his
absence during the early hours of the
evening but later upon his failure to
arrive at home an Investigation, was
started which ended In a gruesome
sight. It is thought the gentleman,
who is in his seventies, had gone to
the hog pen to do the feeding and
while there was taken with a stroke
of paralysis. having suffered his first
stroke at some previous time. After
falling in an unconscious condition, the
animals in the pen had attacked Mr..
Tonga's body and cut up the flesh in
several places.
When discovered it is thought he had

Washington, Dec. 6.--Senator Cum

the session of congress completely
rested and In good health. He Is at
tracing even more than usual atten-
ton because of his prominence as
presidential candidate. The indi-
cations are he will be much in the
limelight this winter.
Senator Cummins has said he would
not discuss in the newspapers his own
candidacy. However. it is known that
he is receiving great deal OF en-
enlargement and that this encourage
ment does not come from any one Sec
ton Of the country. AS the SITUATION
stands today, not only VIII he nave

the delegations of a long list OF west

is essential to nominate a man OF the
progressive republican type is not gen.
orally realized. lit is true that lot
of old guard leaders Of the Penrose
type are not in this mood. But there Is
likewise a powerful current OF pro-
gressive republicanism among eastern
republicans and many Of them are IL :

Glenwood, Dec. 6.-The people of
Glenwood have sharpened prod for
the Mckinley syndicate which owns
nearly all Of the electric plants in
southwestern and western Iowa. prac-
tically all Of which were developed by
local capital and fostered by local zeal
and enterprise into paying Investments.
About one year ago when there was q
bitter fight on between the Mckinley
and Cleveland interests to secure con-
troll Of these electric plants. Glenwood
was the center Of the fight and after
the smoke had cleared away the Nc
Kinley people had secured the fran
chise and plant in Glenwood and soon
after the two corporations reached a
compromise and the territory was
divided.
During the negotiations Glenwood
was assured of great things and the
people believed that their city was to
become the general distributing sta
ton for all OF the electric light and
power systems in western Iowa Re-
Gently it began to dawn upon them
that their dreams had vanished The

the pull was too much for
1t and greatly increased facilities would
have to be added. A new boiler and
some. other additions were made to
the plant and things began to assume
great shape. Then came the change.
Piece, by piece the plant has been dis
mantled and carted away. the big new
boiler only q few days ago going the
way of all the other machinery, and
wonder piled upon wonder. People
asked where all the homes which the
engineers and other employees of the
company were to build here, were to
go. Chargrined more than sorrowing,
Glenwood has reluctantly convinced
itself that the plant is gone never to
return. The service? 1t is provided
with juice from the plant at Omaha
and is the best ever. One man to
read the meters and collect the bills
still remains OF all the grand throng
which did not come.

REMAINS TO BE SHIPPED TO
 UNITED STATES FOR BURIAL

Peking, China, Oct. 29.-Death, that grim leveler of all rank, that still voiced dispeller of hatreds and war anger, joined in the common bonds of sympthy and sorrow, all the mili- tary representatives of the worlds warning powers at the funeral of an American Marine, Private William R. McComb, held here recently.
 McComb, a member of the United States Marine Corps Guard at the American Legation here, died after a brief illness and was buried in Plot No. 94, British Cemetery, while Aus trian, Japanese, British, French, Rus sian, German and Italian soldiers rub bed shoulders at the funeral and gave vent to the common sorrow. What matter if the whole world was at war? Their world-the Peking military world-was in mourning for Bill" McComb, the American Marine. And so they wept, silently and unashamed, these stern warriors, as reverently and sadly they placed floral tributes on the coffin, and formed in columns of squads behind the caisson on which the body was borne to it's temporary resting place. The funeral ceremonies ended, they returned to their various legations to become enemies once more. But, for one brief moment, all the world had been at peace so far as military Peking knew or cared.
 The remains of Private McComb will be disinterred in time and shipped to the United States for burial. A broth CT, Robert T. McComb, 4424 North Hamlin Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, sur wives.
