He was rescued as soon as all hands

taken home and physician sum-
moned. 1t was feared that he had

condition shows symptoms now that
dispel those fears and it is thought
by his physician that he will rapidly
convalesce. A stock of smaller sacks
Of flour and half bushel m sasure

Y O'CLOCK IN EVENING

On a brilliant moonlight night,
thirty-five years ago tonight. at 700
O'Clock, the packet War Eagle, struck
the second span of the Keokuk and
Hamilton bridge. The weather then
was much the same as it is today,
Superintendent John H. Cole recalled
in speaking of the anniversary of the
accident. There was a considerably
higher river, however, as there had
been four floods that season, and the
last high water had come on Octob-
er 49,
The War Eagle struck the bridge
span at 700 o'clock in the evening
of November 4, 1881. The span was
torn out by the collision and the
wheel and wheel house of the War
Eagle demolished. The boat was run
down to a point opposite the old
elevator and then brought to shore
and the passengers taken off. There
was one fatality as the result Of the
collision
The span which was taken out was
replaced as soon as possible but 1t
was not until December II that the
bridge could be open again The oc-
casion for the delay in setting the
span was the unusual high water.
This kept the bridge builders from
getting the span in place until more
than a month after the accident. In
this respect the high water Of thirty
five years ago interferred with this
work, just as the high stage early
this spring interfered with the re-
construction Of the bridge.

CAST BALLOT
FOR ELECTORS
Way to Vote for President Is to Mark
Cross in Squares Before Elect
or's Names.

An exchange has the following ex-
cellent advice to all voters who want
to put their vote where it will do the
most good:
Next Tuesday, November 7, is the
day on which the voters of the coun-
try will express their approval of the
qualifications of various candidates
and cast their ballots in accordance
with their choice.
On next Tuesday, November Z, it
will be up to the people to elect a pres
ident of the United States.
The president, however, will not be
elected by the people, speaking from
a technical basis. He will be chosen
by a number Of electors, and it is for
these electors, and not for the candi-
date, that the voters will cast their bal
lots.
Directly under the name of each
candidate, at the top of each column
on the ballot, are thirteen names. with
a square opposite each name. These
thirteen names are the names of men

STRANGE, FACTS
ABOUT STATE
Boundaries and Names Of Many Coun'
ties Are PecuIiar-Cescribe
nv Writer.


Many interesting facts concerning
the counties of Iowa are to be found
in a series of articles by f. H. Carver,
published several years ago by the
State Historical society of Iowa. For
instance there was once county
named Bancroft in the northern part
of what is now Kossuth county. Later
the same area was temporarily IN
cluded in a county called Crocker.
Again, there was in territorial days a
most peculiar shaped county named
Cook, which was fifty miles in length
and only five miles in width. 1t ex-
tended from the Mississippi in what
is now Scott county westward into the
region included in the present john
son county. In the early fifties Web
ster county included the present
counties of Hamilton and Webster
and a portion of Humboldt county.
Furthermore, many Of the counties
of Iowa formerly we're known by diff
ferent names than those they now
bear. Washington county was called
slaughter. Monroe county went by
the name Kishkekosh, Hamilton coun-
~ was known as Risley, Webster as
Yell. Calhoun as Fox, Woodbury. as
Wahkaw and Lyon as Buncombe.
