ELECTROCUTED BODY
FOUND ON TROLLEY

Cedar Rapids, Aug. 1s.-Blue smoke
rising from the top of a box car on an
interurban siding at Tenth street and
Eighth avenue caused a workman to
climb on the car to make an investiga-
ton. He was Mortified to find the cleo
trocuted body of little Lee Dresher,
a 13.year-old boy. The smoke was COM
ing from the heels Of the lads bare
feet.
A bad burn on the back Of his neck
told the sad story. Evidently he had
climbed to the top of an exceptionally
high box car to look around. as so
many children are in the habit Of do
ing. An apple was in his hand and
the one bite he had taken was in his
mouth.
Evid emily he had stepped backward
and the back of his head had come IN
contast with a sagging trolley wire
carry 600 volts. The car had tin
roof, completing the circuit.

IN AN IOWA CHURCH

Manchester Aug. 49, About eleven
o'clock the other night Mayor F. E
Richardson noticed lights in the Con
gregational church. He called the city
marshal who arrived within few
minutes and on entering the church
found a man apparently asleep who
claimed to have walked from Indepen'
dence and having no place to lay his
head had entered the church for the
night. +
He was given bed in the county
jail and on searching him Sheriff Pen
tony discovered tools well adapted for
prying open windows and doors. He
also found eighty-four pennies, some
postage stamps and a small sum OF
money Inasmuch as the Plaza theater
was broken into the night before by
the use of tools similar to those found
on the vagrant and from the theater
large number of pennies were taken,
the man will be held for further exam

His offense of being In the church as
he was, Is punishable by sentence to
the penitentiary for a term Of not to
exceed three years, or a fine of not
more than 500 and Imprisonment in
the county Jail not more than one
year.

PELLA YOUNGSTER
KICKED BY PONY

Pella, Aug. 18.-While Willie Van
den Oever was riding one Of the shet-
land ponies owned by Cornie Yer
Ploegh, the animal became unmanage-
able and ran away. At the corner OF
G. H. Wormhoudt's furniture store
Marion Wander Heiden was drinking
at the sanitary fountain and the pony
ran over him, knocking him down,
and it is thought kicked him, cutting
large cash in the back Of his head
and decorating his face considerably.
Marion was taken to DR.. Carpenters
office where DR.. Sybenga took several
stitches in the boys scalp and he is
getting along as we'll as could be ex-
pected. 1t seems as though the Van
den Oever boy was riding the pony
with only a halter and could not con-
troll the animal.

WEATHER MAN LEAVES.

Kansas City, Aug. 1S.-Don't worry
any longer about the weather. P. Con-
nor, official forecaster, is going on a
vacation. He would give no reason
for selecting just this time to depart
from Kansas City, but 1t was learned
officially that conditions were such
that he believes he may travel in COM
fort.
Before leaving the anxious ones at
home he cast his weather eye on the
map and promised that the worst is
over. We may get an occasional hot
day, but the nights will be cool and no
prolonged heat wave is possible.
Clouds, which promised rain several
times kept the temperatures down,
but caused the heavy air which brings
discomfort.
There was no promise for general
rain and conditions south of Kansas
City indicate that the heat wave may
get back for a few days before the
general change for the better, said the
weather man.

POOR CHURCH SALE.

Pella Aug. IS. The sale Of the
Third Reformed church building ad.
vertised the last few weeks brought
out big crowd, but they evidently
were not keen to buy churches. The
highest bid on the main building was
$3.50 which the committee declined to
receive. They placed price of $3.50
on it, and no one would raise this.
On the consistitory building. $S5 was
bid, but the committees bid Of 500
again prevented a sale. One reason
for the low bidding was the terms OF
the sale, which required that the build
ing be moved between the fourteenth
of August and the eighth of September,
which in view of the scarcity Of labor
and the hot weather, made 1t difficult
for any one to buy 1t with profit.

TO ISSUE BONDS
Continued From Page ~

embodied in the very necessary and
important revision of the articles of
war which has been added to it.
''The existing articles of war are I'm.
doubtedly archaic. They have not un-
dergone comprehensive revision for
more than one hundred years. They
do not always furnish tie means Of
meeting promptly and directly the
needs Of discipline under modern con-
ditions and many contingencies now
frequently arise in the government of
the military forces which were not
contemplated when the present code
was formulated.
1.-THE relations of the government of
the United States have greatly broad
ened within the hundred years. We
now have insular possessions and ma
tional interests far away from our con-
tinental shores. Both the practice of
arms and the theory of discipline have
undergone many modern changes and
manifest need for such revision of
these articles as is here presented has
long existed.
1.-THE original act establishing the re-
tired list Of the army referred to the
personnel therein included as only par
TALLY retired and provided that a re.
tired officer should be entitled to wear
the uniform of his grade, should be
borne on the army register and should
be subject to the rules and articles of
war and to trial by general court mar.
tial for any breach Of these articles.
BY the act of July "a, 1875, officers of
the army on the retired list were spe.
officially declared to constitute a part
of the regular army, provision which
is found repeated in subsequent acts
affecting the Organization Of the
army"
The president then says It appears
that both the legislative and judicia]t
branches have drawn sharp distinct
ton in status between retired officers
who are regarded and governed at all
times as an effective reserve Of Skilled
and experienced officers and a poten.
tial source Of military strength and
mere pensioners, from whom no fun

CAUGHT BY CAVE-N
BUT LIFE is SAVED

Muscatine. Aug. 18.-Lawn Hussey.
a laborer employed by the city of
Muscatine in digging sewer at Third
and Walnut streets, was buried by a
cave-in at q depth of Is feet. Speedy
action by fellow workmen averted a
tragedy. Spades and any implements
which could be seized in hurry were
pressed into use, many using their
hands. AS soon as possible an arrange
ment was made to get air to the I'M
fortunate man. After the dirt had
been shoveled away he was brought
to the surface in a weak condition but
conscious.
