poison route. Some miserable mis-
creant put out poison for the animal
about one week ago and since then
the poor creature has suffered slow
death, growing thinner and thinner.
The dog has been under veterinary
care since it was first poisoned, but
there has been little hope that it
would survive. Mr.. Varlette has had
the animal for four years and had
grown to care for the pet as one may
care for a dog. 1t would be we'll to
put the Boy Scouts on the trail OF
dog prisoners and let them do a lit
tie sleuth work. In several OF the
larger cities, the scouts have done
most effective work ferreting out ev-
licences of this sort and no one
could catch such a fiend in human
form quicker than the young boys
with their sharp eyes.
Mr.. Varlette would not have tax
en- 500 for the dog and is inconsol-
able over his loss.

Concave VS.. Convex Streets.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: M. Ford OF
Cedar Rapids is habitually sane on
questions connected with street i'm
proyements. He sees a good thing
first and appropriates it while some
one else is wondering If it is of any
value. His notion of concave paved
streets as against convex paved
streets, that is, with one gutter or
valley in the center instead of gut
ter on each side, is eminently work
manlike. All that Mr.. Ford says
regarding the more sanitary charact-
er of the concave street and the
economy OF cleaning it is true. There
is another advantage that Mr.. Ford
does not name. In swinging on a
wide curve to round corner, an au-
tomobile or other vehicle would turn
against slight embankment and
not at the disadvantage of the slight
decline created by the browning of
a street. The curbing could be low
cred exactly to the extent of the de-
preston and, in certain cases, need
be nothing more than BERN, con-
siderably cheapening the work of
Improvement.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Millard
Whitson of Clinton county is farm
er who believes in doing something
a little different from what the 9TH
err fellows are doing. He is special
izing in wild geese and has flock
of $50. They are domesticated and
require no more care than tame
geese. They are plucked three times
a year and yield about two pounds
of feathers per goose. AS the feath-
ers bring rs cents a pound and the
birds sell at SIS pair it is apparent
that the domesticated wild goose is
by no means a fad, but a practical
and profitable proposition.

4 CASE OF INFAh-
TILE PARALY S|S
Little Daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. 5
H. Wilson, Northeast Of City,
Has Disease.

Hamilton county's first case of in
fantile paralysis was brought TO
light Sunday afternoon, when the
attending physician found the seven
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
is. Fl. Wilson, who reside six miles
northeast of this city, to be victim
of the disease The child came home
from school one week ago yesterday,
ill, but the diagnosis was not perfect
|ly ascertained until one week later
The lower limbs of the little girl are
paralyzed but otherwise her condl'
ton is as good as can be expected
There are six other small children
in the family.
The Sunnyside school, which the
child attended, has been closed UNI
til it is deemed safe to reopen it
The Wilson home has been quaran-
tined and everything possible done
to prevent the spread of the con-
tagion.

Precautions to check the infanti}e
paralysis epidemic in New York are
reaching even farther than the author
tiles intended. Ethel Mary Oakland
and lula Belle, two Of Thanhouser's
child actresses, have to carry health
certificates every time they leave the
studio to go out on location. That
was expected.
But now Gladys Hulette, one of the
Thanhouser stars, who appears in
1.-The Shine Girl" released through
Pathe, has been forced to get certi-
ficate. Miss Hulette is making q pic
ture in which she plays the part of a
girl of twelve. Many of the scenes
are being taken over in New Jersey.
For several days Miss Hulette, who
mOtored to the location fully made up,
was stopped every time she entered
q ferry house and forced to explain
that she really was more than twelve
years old. One day she was delayed
until William Parke, her director. ar
rived and got her out of the difficulty.
He suggested that she get a health
certificate in order to prevent further
delays, and she did.
Nov she presents her documents
and passes the guards unhindered.

THE MAINE RESULT.

The result of the election in
Maine yesterday is certainly very
satisfactory to republicans and
shows that the party is gaining in
the east. The early dispatches state
that the republican candidate for
governor is elected by about $4,000
majority. Later returns may in
crease or reduce this. The demo-
cratic state committee had claimed
the state by 5000 and the republic
can committee had estimated the re-
publican majority at $4,000. Both
parties made the hardest fight for
the state ever made in the political
history of Maine. The vote as given
in this mornings dispatches is:
.With ninety precincts missing the
republican candidate for governor
has 71,3O1 and the democratic can
didate 61,003." In 1908 the repub'
lican candidate for governor recelV'
ed 73.72S and the democratic S.
OTIS. In 1912 the vote on governor
stood, republican 71,043, democratic
6774S. Two years ago the vote on
governor was badly split on account
of the progressive strength. The
democratic candidate secured 62,'
O39, the republican 5S,S62 and the
progressive s,225. 1t appears from
the returns thus far this year that
the progressive vote has returned al
most solidly to the republican party

DISCUSSES WHY |
AM NOT AN |NF|DEL"
DR.. Browns Subject at the Christian
Church Interest is
Shown. !

"Why | am not an Infidel," was
Evangelist Browns subject at the
Christian church last evening. A
good sized audience was present and
deep interest shown.
The speaker contrasted the infidel
and Christian position. He used
diagram to illustrate this contrast.
Infdelity says there is no supernat-
ural wisdom, no Christ, no certain
basis of right, no reward, no pardon,
no life beyond. Infdelity never
built hospital, never erected
school. AS a basis of community
life, it has been a failure wherever
| tried. 1t does not work. 1t has new
| err taken the heat out OF FEVER, the
pain out Of parting, nor the sting
out of death 1t would have all tomDs
face the west and paint upon them
the skull and cross-bones. Death is
leap in the darkness, If inhdeilty
be true. 1t feeds upon the hearts
of men and drains the courage from
| their veins. 1t breaks the wings OF
glory and steals. the crown from the
brow Of fame. If given sway, IL
would leave desert world swinging
/ in thelvery shadow of night, with no
traces remaining of the severe con-
hicts and splendid victories or Whlch
lit had been the theatre. lnhdellty
saps the very life. blood of helpful
ministry, takes away the incentive
of noble service, and knocks the
crutch from the support OF a bowed
and crippled humanity.
On the other hand the speaker
said that Christianity believes IN
1.-The superhuman wisdom, The Christ,
the designer and planner of the eter-
nal order of things, in certain basis
of right, in solution for LIES PROB
liens, in reward, pardon, mercy and
life beyond.
Tombs face the east, because the
sun that disappears shall stand up
| on the horizon again, clothed with
lunclouded splendor. Christianity
paints upon the tombf a lily, elo-
ouent of immortal hope. 1t points
men to that "Purer air and broader
view." Dr. Brown employed illus
trations that touched the heart
Istrifniggss" as he Spoke Of God and
Christ and the Bible; the skyline OF
faith, rugged and enduring as OF
old; only obscured for the moment,
as it has been, by passing cloud:
as Interchangeable as the nature or
man they satisfy; faith, hope ana
| love. death and Immortality, still
the greatest words, excepting Deity
alone. that ever fell upon the ears
of man or trembled on his lips.
The people of Webster City Will
have an opportunity of hearing Mr..
Brown on two of his Chautauqua
lectures next week. This will be
rare treat. Watch for announce
ments later.
Tonight at 1880 he will speak up
on the subject, "The Christ or
Prophecy" All are most cordially
invited. Come with a scripture.
verse about the Christ, and respond
when opportunity is given.
