way to church Letta told Jim what
her mother had said.
This Is the first time | ever dis
obeyed my mother, and oh, Jim,
what shall l do:"
A'Letta, l love you. Will you be
my wife," But before Letta had
time to answer, the cry of Fire,
Fret" rang out. They turned and 10,
it was the Barnes residence on fire.
Jim for heavens sake hurry and
get my mamma out of the house. She
is sick in bed. Oh, | know this is
brought on me as a punishment for
my disobedience."
They hurried to the burning build
ing, but a crowd Of men and boys
had gathered and were carrying the
bed on which Mrs. Barnes was lying,
to a place of safety. The flames were
spreading to all parts of the building
rapidly. Mr.. Barnes was comforting
his wife the best he could, caring
little for the loss, thinking that he
had cause to be thankful for the
preservation Of all his family, when
suddenly Mary Barnes rose up and
shouted: Where Is my baby boy?
Oh God, will no one save my darling
boy? He is in the nursery, asleep"
No one stirred for the building
was wrapped in flames.
Twill none of you rescue my child?
Oh God, this is terrible. Stand aside
and I'll rescue him myself, II you are
all cowards," but a dozen hands
grasped her and held her back as 1t
meant certain death for her to at
tempt the rescue.
Just then q form, was seen to leave
the crowd and make for the burn
ing. building. A hundred voices
shouted, come back--a hundred
faces were turned ~heavenward in sill
ent prayer for the brave man as he
disappeared into the burning build
ing. One second passed, two, three,
four and still no form appeared. The
seconds seemed hours to the anxious
mother. "Oh. my God, this is a ter
rible punishment for my w~ickendess.
Will someone else try to save my
boy?"
At last the man appears with ome
thing wrapped In bedclothes, but just
as he reaches the doorway, a crash,
and the heavy floor falls from above
and drags the mar back into the
flames. No, he Is not dead. He is
seen to rise. Again he reaches the
doorway. All, thank God. He steps
into the open air, but the clothes
that cover him are in flames. A
blanket Is thrown around him, and
he carries the bundle to the stricken
mother. He unwraps it and discloses
her darling boy safe and unhurt.
Mrs. Barnes Is the child alive?'
and Jim Stofer sinks to- the ground
unconscious.
A dozen willing hands carry him
to the nearest residence. A doctor
is summoned who pronounces the
burns serious but not dangerous.
Mrs. Barnes arose from her bed
clinging to her darling boy.
Will Barnes uncovered his head
reverently and turning to crowd Of
men and boys, said: Let us thank
God for his goodness" But Letta
stepped forward and said Mamma"
then stopped while the color came
and went In her cheeks.
What is it my child?"

Is unnecessary. There will be a

TO ERECT A COM
MUN|TY CHURCH
Hartford, Iowa, to Have One Big
House of Worship in the Near
Future.

One of the first churches in Iowa
that will represent united relig-
ious thought is to be erected at Hart
ford, at cost Of $4,000.
Hartford at one time had three
churches.
About the time of the Sunday
meetings in Des Moines, evangelical
services were held at Hartford. A
tabernacle was erected for the pur-
pose and since then the worshippers
have been meeting in that building.
While the town has population of
only $50, the religious meetings
have been attended by congregations
numbering about 600.
The religious gatherings have
been so successful and so much in
terest was manifested at the union
meetings that the idea was evolved
of having the worshippers unite and
build one community church. The
idea met with considerable favor and
with the adjustment of some minor
interests, the assurance of sufficient
pledges to erect community church
was secured.

Humboldt T.. Webster City Z.

The third quarter was decidedly
mediocre from the Webster City
standpoint. Humboldt had posses
sion of the ball nearly all the time,
but were unable to gain consistent
ly or dangerously. The quarter end
ed with kick which rolled over the
goal, and the ball was given to Web
ster City on their own 20-yard line.
France and ironing made two
good gains which netted as many
first downs, and Greenwood got off
for IS. ironing here incurred a 15-
yard penalty for holding, and Green
wood, after losing five, was compell-
ed to surrender possession of the ball
by the punt route. Humboldt re-
tanned the ball for first downs, but
were penalized, and again kicked.
With three minutes left, Gilmore
placed the ball As yards through the
air directly into Frances arms, but
the pass rebounded out of the lat
ter's grasp. On the next play the To-
calls made the pass good, Britson
mailing the oval for gain of 95
yards. The two following plays saw
gains of twelve and eight yards re-
spectively, but the final whistle blew
at this juncture. The Webster City
eleven had "got busy" too late.
The result of this game leaves the
locals only one chance to make good
a favorable ranking in the Boone
Valley. This is the Algona game, to
be played here next Friday. Algona
defeated Humboldt 6 to 0 a week
ago and the Webster City boys will
flight to the last ditch" to win this
coming crucial game.

About ten days ago Bascom Hud-
dlestun took to his farm three miles
northeast of Woodstock about thirty
head Of cattle purchased for the pur-
pose Of fattening this winter. About
a week after they had reached the
farm the cattle showed signs of sick
ness and DR.. Williams of this city
was called. He found the disease to
be malignant catarrhal fever, a mall
ady usually terminating fatally. Six
head of cattle died that day and
many others had contracted the few
er, which is very contagious.
Since then the disease has been
communicated to the other cattle on
the farm which is managed by J. H.
Matthews and the outcome is bound
to be serious.
The regular state veterinarian,
DR.. Gibson of Des Moines, has been on
Tic ldTln uo1uS SSciyeAAA6 hAo"A W
science to save the rest of the
herd which have not yet contracted
the fatal fever. The malady works
much as does pneumonia in hui
man being and death usually ensues.
A week of the fever usually ends the
life of the animal.
It will be hoped by stock men
that the epidemic may be checked,
as there has never in the history of
the county been dangerous cpl
demic of cattle disease. The loss to
Mr.. Huddlestun and to his renter
will be considerable even should a
part Of the herd be saved.

coMBoY SCOUT TO HUNT
FOR OUTLAWS TREASURE.
Money Is In Greenbacks Cached in

cording to Harry Rhodes, former COW.
boy and Indian scout, who has been
on the border for fifty years, and
Rhodes left this week for Colorado,
accompanied only by his dog, to spend
several months if necessary hunting
for the treasure. He made the an
nouncement recently and says he will
spend the summer on foot in the
mountains, his former haunts.
The $4,000 was put there by out
laws, says Rhodes, nearly twenty
years ago, and until recently he has
maintained that it would be practical
ly impossible to locate the money. He
has changed his mind, however, and
believes he has solved the problem.
He says there is no doubt but that the
sand, rocks and other debris have
washed against and around the bowl
der, making it more difficult to To-
cate.
'"This $4,000 was obtained in rich
haul made by band of outlaws" said
Rhodes recently, "but it became neces-
sary for them to cache the paper mon
ey for the time being. They climbed
the bluff, put the money in a cleft in
rock, and then, with crowbars, turned
another bowlder on top OF the cleft.
The money was wrapped in piece of
buckskin and then incased In some
copper. l know that it has never been
recovered and perhaps it may never
be.
"A banker living in Winfield, Kan,
paid s1,500 to one man who claimed
to know the location of the green
backs, for a map purported to show
where the money was hidden. After
almost a years search, however, the
banker gave up the job as futile.
Many others have tried to find the
money during the past few years"
Rhodes started life as freighter
out of Caldwell, Kan, when but 10
years old, driving a team of mules for
his father. The team boss was Bill
Doolin, later to become an outlaw
leader in Oklahoma Territory.

# Methuselah Had2

Capital: If Methuselah had been
a business man-even with as good
an eye for shekels as the rag pick
er or the junk mamie would have
made John D. Rockefeller look like
an aims beggar on the road to Jer-
usalem.
Methuselah lived to be $50 years
old-or thereabouts. We cannot be
more than twenty or thirty years OF
on his age--a mere tribe, mere.
trife. ;sl
Now suppose Methuselah had
been as wise as rag picker and had
put one dollar in the bank at per
cent interest. Suppose he had left
it there for 500 years-during his
youth and early middle age and al
lowed the interest to accumulate.
At the end Of his youthful 800
years Methuselah would have had
$40, 1905, 121,147,23o.24. If you can't
