dissolve two handfuls of furni-

and then sprinkle enough of the So

Harry Ruffridge Has Auto Accident

While passing through town driy-

to his home north of Greene :as.
Wednesday evening Harry Ruffridge
drove into the band concert platform
at the intersection of Main and Su-
perior streets. In the auto with him
were his wife and baby and his mo-
Their. A few minutes before he
struck the stand heavy rain was
falling and the band had declined to
play, None of the occupants OF the
car were injured save Tor slight
scratches inflicted on Mr.. Ruffridge,
but the wind shield and top of the
automobile were damaged. The plat
form was of loose construction being
plank laid on carpenter horses and
were not nailed, and this perhaps
saved the outfit from more serious
damage. Mr.. Ruffridge's family re-
manned in town over night, continu-
ing to their home the next morning.

Bags Big Bald EAGLE.

1t is seldom that hunter in Iowa
has chance at, really big game, .
but Edward Reed, of Gearing, went
shooting in Marshall county, north
west of st. Anthony. Friday after
noon, and bagged a big bald eagle,
measuring seven feet two inches
from tip to tip. The bird was evil
IDENTIFY in transit, as it was flying
swiftly, altho close to the ground.
Reed fired two shots at the bird, the
second one taking effect. ma
Upon being examined it was found
that the jaws Of the eagle were
locked, and it was necessary to pry
them open. The same was true of
the claws. That the bird was an UNI
usually large one is shown by the
fact that this species of eagle ordin-
@rily measures about three feet.

BABY WASHED THROUGH CUL-
VERT.
Two Year Old Dubullue Child Had
sensational Experience.

George Dady, 2-year-old sou OF
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Dady, of Du-
Duque, had an experience in the
food last week, the like of which is
unheard of in this section of the
country.
The little fellow was playing in
the street opposite his home and
was caught in the rainstorm. He
started to run for home and on
reaching the west gutter his feet
were taken from under him by the
rush of water and his little form
was washed in a moment through
the culvert and was rescued by Pat
O'Hern, who grabbed him from the
stream as he passed O'Hern's butch
er shop.
There was just enough room in
the culvert TO allow the child's body
to pass through, but it is said that
when he went through the water was
above the culvert. More than a dozen
persons saw the affair. They began
removing the plates OF the culvert,
thinking possibly he had been
caught. He went through so quickly
that no one saw him come out of the
other end. Pat O'Hern had just come
from his butcher shop and was GO
ing to help others remove the plates,
when he saw the little fellows body
down in the water and rescued him.
Young Dady entered the culvert
feet first, but when he was rescued
he was going down the stream head
forward. 1t is believed that he was
turned around by the swift current
after he had come out of the culvert
so rapidly that his breath was TAX
EN- away from him. When he was
rescued he had his head above water.
Medical attention was given him,
but it proved that he had not suffer
ed any from his experience, except a
minor scratch upon his head.

Saved by a Chicken.

The squawking of chicken,
which he was bringing home for
Sunday dinner, saved the life of Roy
Ferguson, secretary-treasurer of the
LIE Mars Printing Co., when he was
pinned unfyrneath the overturned
automobile which he was driving on
the country road between Mason
City and Clear Lake. Other autoists,
passing the overturned car, were
about to leave it, thinking there was
no one underneath, when the chic
ken squawked. They found Fergu-
son, unconscious, pinned underneath
the seat. His clothing was saturat-
ed with gasoline and his Dody was
lying in pool of it. He would have
been killed by the fumes of the gas
oline. When he was revived his in
Juries were not serious.

THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD THANK
GOD FOR THE EUROPEAN
WARS.

If President Woodrow Wilson had
been a prize fighter, he would have
been success. He would have been
more shifty than Jim Corbett. 1t was
always said that Jim Corbett knew
how to get out of the way to avoid
receiving the force of his adver-
sary's blows Wilson could receive
Jim Corbett at night school and
teach him something, says the Des
Moines Capital.
President Wilson is the shiftiest
man that has been in public life since
Martin Van Buren,.
But President Wilson ought to
thank Heaven for the European
wars. Except for these, he would not
now be on speaking terms with any
man engaged in business or industry.
President Wilson brags about the
federal reserve banking system while
that system is simply on trial. The
prosperity brought on by the war
has caused the people to forget that
the federal reserve banking system
has any existence. The president
Twill find that Americans are a mer-
curial people and that there will be
panics not only while he lives but
many of them after he shall be dead
He boasts that the federal reserve
act has placed money within the
reach OF the people. Nobody can
deny what he says except in pros
pectiye. The war prosperity stands
as between Wilson and his asser.
ton.
President Wilson, in his letter OF
acceptance, brags that the tariff
was devised not on the principle of
repelling foreign trade, but upon
the principle of encouraging it up
on something like footing of equal
ity with our own
This boast is prompted by his long
fanatical love for free trade. But
the congress which he CONTROLS on
Thursday passed an act to try to
protect this country from foreign
trade by force. And the same act
prohibits an American from buying
goods abroad cheaper than the rul.
ing price in America. President Will
son is willing to do by force, by
threats of retaliation, what pro.
Elective tariff would do in perfect
ly straightforward way. This doctrine
is admitted because the same act tG
which we refer placed "a protect Je
duty on dye stuffs. The democra; iC
party by its threats against Dump lg
admits that the present tariff will d
init everything and food the Amer,
lean markets, If something be MOI
done. Not having the courage tC
enact protective tariff, the demo
cratic party proposes to do it all by
threats.
President Wilson is a refined dem
agogue. He is a polished trickster
A dispassionate man would only have
to read his letter of acceptance tc
take his measure. He cannot bt
trusted to deal with the big ques
tons which are to come to this
country after the war.
Every democratic principle which
has been coined into statutes has
not been tried because the Euco.
pean war has acted as a dixie and
has kept all the waves of diversity
back.
