KILL PRuSSIAN CAPTIVE
TRYING TO SEAY CHAPLAIN

LONDON. Eng.-According to de-
spatches from the French front, a
Prussian officer, who had been captur-
ed by a French chaplain, turned on
his captor and was about to kill him,
when he himself was shot dead by a
British infantryman.
The chaplain, attended by small
force of men, was searching the battle
field Of the Alcre for wounded men
hidden in the shell craters during the
British advance when he came upon
an isolated trench occupied by four
hundred Prussians. The Prussians
surrendered. ~"
The chaplain ordered the men to file
out upon the open ground, preparatory
to passing them back with an escort,
when The officer, seeing the small
size of the force which had trapped
him, attempted to rally his men and
overcome it. As he attempted to kill
the chaplain he fell dead, pierced by
the infantryman's bullet, and the Prus-
SLAMS again held up their hands in
their eagerness to surrender

A UNIQUE EXPERIMENT.
- lAlgona Advance.


One Of our local physicians is con-
Quoting a very interesting as well az
unique and original experiment in the
treatment Of tubercular patient.
AS far as we know. this method has
never before been tried in this section
OF the middle west, but from the re-
suits achieved in this case Il would
seem that it is likely to result in much
good in this class Of cases. At least
It Is worth trying further.
The patient in this case was in an
advanced stage of the disease before
the experiment was begun, and for
this reason little was expected in the
-%::yy &c -esu1ts
The doctor prepared toxin by
taking germs from the patients spu-
tum and growing them in a culture
medium in a laboratory. This toxin
he then administered hypodermically
to COW, the COW having first been
given the tuberculin test, and having
been found to be nontubercular. The
patient has since then been drinking
the milk from this COW. The idea II
that the cows body forms an anti
toxin, which, thru the milk. is abb
sorbed in the patients system and
thus helps to counterfeit the disease.
The toxin has been administered
to the COW twice a week snce August
10. During the sixteen weeks preced-
ing the use OF I'll the IN the patient lnst
ten pounds in weight. but during the
eighteen weeks that have now elapsed

TRAMPING As An ART.

Waggles was in Jail last night whereby
he got a place to sleep and something
to eat. The night before he slept in a
barn hungry having been chased from

See now whele intellect and intelh-
gence and distaste for labor when
mixed in the Correct proportions win
out over mere brute obstinacy against
work. Another tramp slept warm and
j.nsled money in his pocket and drew
adIn3-!ng s2ances as a hero. He came
boldly into town announcing himself

NEARLY READY TO LAY ASIDE.

Reports from the cities where the
passing of the mulct closed saloons state
that the closing was accomplished
quietly and without disorder. The
drinking contingent got its drinks as
long as they lasted and went its way.
The saloonists sold out and closed early
or if the stock held out did a rushing
business up to the jumping of place
and then jumped. And that was all.
It is report highly creditable to
the cities whence it comes. However,
nobody expected riot and disorder. A
change has come over Iowa and Iowa
cities and Iowa citizens. Thirty years
ago We should have expected disorder
and expectation would not have been
disappointed
We have come gradually to the clos
ing in Iowa this time. 1t is no shock.
The steady movement toward prohibi-
ton had brought all to the conclusion
that it would inevitably arrive some
day. When il came the jolt was les
sened by twenty shock absorbing years.
1t is a good hearing from Sioux City
and Davenport and Dubuque and Coun-
Gil Bluffs when the news stories state
that the crowd kept good natured,
laughed much and threatened little and
went its way home after the spigots
ran dry. 1t argues that nobody ex-
poets the saloon to return that the
farewell was final and that strict en-
forcenent of the laws by the state and
county authorities will clinch the ques'
ton forever. And 1t also marks q
great change in public sentiment and
the development of larger respec:
for law among all classes of the public.
Fort thirty years ago a prohibitory
law called for defiance and riot and
open resistance in certain Iowa cities
All that is needed now is firm en-
forcement from a public standpoin,
conducted with common sense and
judgment. Odleing should be discour-
aged and the state department Of JUS
tice see to it that county prosecutors
do their duty or get out Of the way
for some one who can run. With the
right kind Of a state administration fol
the coming two years the liquor ques-
ton so long a bone of contention in
Iowa will be ready for fling away.

member Of Governor Ciarke's bsttss
roads commission, has prepared some
interesting facts In regard to financing
highway improvements. Tho basic
idea in his estimate II that any tax
payer can make profitable use Of
money,at 3 per cont; that highway Inn
provements can be financed on long,
time bonds at ~ per cant; and that
the interest saving Of ~ per cent
would pay the full cost Of the road in
twenty eight years.
This estimate, 1t will be observed. 10

tween the present system Of construc-

and the commissions plan Of extensive
improvements thru the medium OF
bond issues. It assumes the eventual
Improvement of the roads--with funds
worth at least 8 per cent under present
methods, or with ~ per cent funds
under the bond issue plan.
The Greater Iowa Association Offers
another argyle to the question OF con-
structing highways from actual saw
ings This association estimates that
1t costs $20,000,000 per year to haul
products from the farms to the rail-
road stations Of Iowa. The figures NIX
an average annual hauling expense Of
$50 per farm.
Hard surfaced roads reduce the
hauling cost one-half to two thirds

plan, main travelled roads could be

THE BUSINESS ROUNDUP.

While wholesale traders experienced
a. comparatively quiet past week, due
to the taking Of inventories, the sea-
sonal pause is less marked than in
other years, and in some instances
orders continue to come out. in a way
that hampers stock taking. On the
other hand, industry, too busy to take
account Of holidays proceeds to higher
ground, holiday trade at many points
was Of record proportions, orders al
ready booked for spring delivery are
heavy, stocks in the hands Of final dis
tributers are exceptionally low, and
hopes OF an early ending Of the Euro
pean wars having well-nigh vanished,
the consensus of opinion is that goods
will have to be bought here on an in
creased scale and at higher prices, not
only by our own people but by foreign
consumers as we'll
To the foregoing budget Of favorable
tidings must be added the fact that
mail-order houses report record trade,
that jobbers have received relatively
large flling-in orders at a period Of the
year that usually affords a respite from
previous activities. Some travelling
men, after very short vacation, are
out for new business, and more are to
go forth next week. Collections are
good, old debts continue TO be
