A NIGHT Scene.

A strange picture was seen We'd
nesday night by strollers in the south
west outskirts of this city. Had the
scene been one of seventy years ago,
the picture could not have been
more realistic. The moon was ris-
ing over a southeastern hill; the
frosty air "a solemn stiffness held"
9 stiffness broken only by the occa-
sional barking of dog in the dis
lance. The trees hid houses and
barns and all other signs Of civiliza-
ton until the landscape for miles
might have been covered by deep
forest. In the back ground of this
night scene cleaned the flames and
the upcurling white smoke of camp
fire-an Indian camp fre-and be-
tween the beholder and the smoke
of this fire were silhouetted the dim
dark shapes of hundreds of Indian
tepees. The picture was so vivid it
arrested the attention of more than
one passing that way, as long as that
fire burned. The fire was only bon
fire, and the Indian tepees only fod-
der shocks, but Imagination-paint-
er of pictures, weaver of dreams
supplied any details that might have
been lacking in a pioneer night

Demand for Seed Corn.

Woodstock News: The Freeman
Tribune recently spoke of a field of
corn over in Fremont, raised by John
latham, that will produce GO bush
els per acre and mostly sound corn.
Yes, we know that field, and it is a
whopper, and if land agent isn't a
good judge of corn, who is? Say
Sheldon, did you pick the samples
upon the latham farm or from the
Omstead farm just across the fence?
Omstead has n gopher knoll upon
which the corn was excellent. Since
the article in the Freeman-Tribune
the price of seed corn has gone up in
Upper Fremont. How much can you
furnish, Sheldon, from this large
field. for we are neighbors and all
want to buy seed early. Please look
the field over and report.

Weeks Ago.

S. C. Gardner, for three years the

day he was considered out Of danger,
as telephone communication with
the freight office there revealed
However, that night he took a sud-
den turn for the worse and was TAX

Protecting Bob White.

Davenport Democrat: A bunch OF
farmers in Linn county deserve a
word of praise for the action they
have taken during the past week. In
censed by hunters who have been
trespassing on their property and
Strengthening quail, they have form
ed an organization for the purpose OF
protecting wild birds in general and
quail in particular. They say that
the wet weather this year was I'M
favorable to the young quail, and
that unless the birds are protected
this fall there will be few of them
left. Therefore they are circulat-
ing papers on which the members OF
the association pledge themselves tc
shoot no quail or other wild birds ex-
cept ducks and geese, and that they
will prosecute to the extent of the
law anyone found on their property
without permission and having
gun in his possession. They alsc
plan to notify by telephone an!
neighbors of any trespass on theil
property thereby making trouble FOL
the hunters who are accustomed Il
crossing farms from points out o
sight from the buildings, so that the!
are usually on the next farm befor'
they are observed or caught.
If all the farmers Of the stat
would take a similar resolve it woul'
not be long before the familiar cal
Of Bob White would be more common
on our fields and roadsides than it /
today.

A dope F|END"
SECURES ENTRANCE
Enters Office of DR.. R. G. Crumpton
Through Reception Room
Obtains Drugs.

The office of DR.. R. c. Crumpton
was entered some time between SIS
and Z o'clock Thursday night and
the contents of a hypodermic case
taken. The thief was unQuestionab-
ly dope fiend," as nothing beside
drugs and hypo needle were taken.
DR.. Crumpton Offices with DR.; G. T.
McCauliff, both physicians using the
same reception room, so when the
former physician went out to make a
call on Thursday evening, the recep-
ton room was left open while his
private office was locked. Upon his
return at Z o'clock, he found the
door to his private Office ajar, and
the key of the reception room gone
also.
That the thief was in some re-
spects a gentleman is surmise, &c"
he broke the seal of bottle Of CO.
dine containing one hundred tablets,
and took exactly half. He also took
fifty morphine tablets. DR.. McCauliff
has not yet made an inventory Of his
drug stock, and may also have lost
some drugs.
That same night an attempt was
made to effect an entrance to the Dr..
Berg dental office through the recep-
ton room. The outer door knob had
been broken off, showing some one
had stood upon the knob while try
ing to open the transom which was
already slightly ajar. This attempt
may have been made on account Of
the success of the theft of the shop
the night following circus day, Aug
ust 21st. At this time entrance was
effected through the transom into
the dental operating room where the
drugs were kept. A hypo needle and
cocaine were both taken then.
The thefts of drugs from DR.
Crumpton Thursday night makes the
seventh successful robbery of doc
tors offices in this city. In all cases
the thief desired only drugs. About
one week ago, however, an attempt
was made to enter DR.. Wyatt's in
ner office through the reception
room, which was unlocked. A tray
cling mans bag had been left for a
short time in the reception room and
this was rifled of anything the thief
fancied.
About two weeks ago DR.. O. c..
Buxton's office was entered through
the reception room and the thief was
most successful, getting everything
in the way of drugs and needles the
physician possessed.
Drug stores have been besieged at
times by transient drug fiends who
implore the druggists for their fav-
orite drug and at times the physic-
ians also have been visited with
these requests. There are now free
institutions where the appetite may
be treated as the drink habit, and to
such institutions these persons
should be sent.

Jan. 1st next. The new plates will

UTILITIES MEN SEE NEED

That E. H. Martin of this city has
invented a thing that has taken the
manufacturing world by storm, goes
without question. The telephone
meter which measures conversation
over the phone will not only revolu-
tionize the telephone world, but
will prove one Of the largest indus
tries in the state, should the inven-
ton meet with the demand which is
predicted for it by many.
Stock in the International Tele-
phone Meter company is now selling
at 20 per cent above par, but as yet
none of it has been offered for sale
in this vicinity. Anyone desiring
stock in the concern would possibly
not be turned down because he hap
pened to be living in Hamilton coun-
~. AS soon as this allotment Of
stock is sold it will probably
go so per cent above par-at least
that is what is predicted for it.
Cary H. Brown of this city is fis-
cal agent and salesmanager with
headquarters in Webster City for
the present.
The company hopes to be able to
start the actual manufacture of the
meters by January 1st, 1916, in
their newly acquired factory in Des
Moines.
The Des Moines Evening Tribune
of last evening has the following to
say regarding the manufacture Of
the invention in the capital city:
The manufacture of telephone me-
tiers is expected to grow into one of
the largest industries in Des Moines
by many of the business men. Since
the announcement of the formation
of a company to manufacture the
machines in the old Des MOines
Brewery building, there has been a
great deal of comment on the inven-
ton and the possible development of
it.
81 have wondered for many years
why someone did not invent tele-
phone meter" Emil Schmidt, presi-
dent of the Des Moines City Railway
company, declared. 1.-THE lack of any
way to measure the use Of telephones
has caused the telephones to become
the most abused contrivances in COM
mon use."
"To me it looks like the telephone
meter will result in putting tele-
phones in every home in the coun-
try" w. H. Thompson, general man
ager of the Des Moines Electric COM
pany, said. 1t will make possible
for a telephone company to install
ten telephones on one line where at
present they have been only able to
operate four or five in the rural dis
tricts. In the cities the party lines
can carry two or three times as many
subscribers as at present.
Last night tried to get number
at my home and waited half an hour
for the line. After getting a line
talked for almost half an hour. If
we had been paying for the time we
used the telephone neither I nor the
other party on the line would have
used it longer than perhaps five min
utes each. Instead of the telephone
being busy for an hour, 1t would
have been busy for ten minutes.
81 don't see how it is going to
make any difference, however, in
single party lines. The investment
and depreciation on such lines Will
amount to the same to the company
whether the line is in continuous
service or not"
81 expect the manufacture of the
meters will develop into one of the
biggest industries in Des Moines,
said Sam Bolton, secretary OF the
; Greater Des Moines committee.
