IOWA DOCTOR WILL
BUILD HOME HERE
Land Investments Made Near
City Some Years Ago Lead
DIR. Soper to Morris

Another handsome bungalow on
west Ninth street is soon to be in
course of erection in this city. DR..
Soper who arrived here from Nevada,
Ia, last week has decided to build a
home here with a view of making
Morris his future permanent home.
He has fine farm near Morris and
wishes to develop his ideas of what
stock farm should be.
DR.. Soper recently purchased a re-
sidence lot from William Leuty ad-
joining the Burpee residence. This
week he is here for the purpose of
letting a contract for bungalow, and
will remain till it is finished. His
plans provide for one 28x39, five
rooms on the ground floor and two on
the second floor, with full basement,
bath and laundry, and modern through
out. He has looked over the new
home of John House and will use it
as pattern with minor changes. Mrs.
Soper is at Nevada but expects to
come to Morris about the first of next
March.
LAWYERS Yearlings Disappear
Jim Lawler is blithely singing
"where, oh, where, have my yearlings
gone," as he rakes the county with
fine-to> tn comb as it were looking
for two yearlings which broke through
the fence and ESCAPED from the herd
in the Smith pasture two miles south
of the city one night last week.
They have disappeared completely but
Mr.. Lawler feels sure they have not
been sent to the slaughter in South
St. Paul. He has hopes they are
still in the neighborhood and will
hear his voice and come forth. Any.
one having two strange yearlings ir
their possession will confer a favor
by advising Mr.. Lawler.

DR.. Caine was called to Glenwood
last Friday to investigate the case
and Immediately reported the matter
to the state health board.
Another case of paralysis in mild
form has developed in the family of
H. F. Bearl living five miles east of
Morris where an eleven-year-old girl
is affected. There are seven children in
the family and investigation discloses
the fact that three of them have had
attacks of absortive cases. The girl
is recovering rapidly and it has not
been thought necessary to quarantine.

CHARGES OF CRAFT
RANGE STRIKE ECHO
F. E. Shepard Gets News from
Hibbing which May Feature
Future Campaign

Charges of graft and corruption in
the administration of government in
the village of Hibbing are coming
thick and fast following the settle
ment of the miners strike which
caused bloodshed and riot in the range
towns a few weeks ago. F. E.
Shepard, OF this city, who has SON.
in-law interested in mining at Vir-
ginia, and who spent week on the
range short time ago while strike
settlements were in progress, is in re-
ceipt of fresh news concerning the
present state of affairs. During
the strike agitation leaders of the I.
W. W. organization came on from
Colorado and other western points to
lead the strike. They were received
at Hibbing by Mayor Powers, it is
charged, whose administration made
them feel at home. Ten of these
"Workers" are now on trial charged
with completely in murder and Mayor
Powers, who is an attorney, has been
retained to defend the men. Prior to
the Inauguration of the strike the
village of Hibbing had considerable
difficulty with the Oliver mining COM
pany about the payment of taxes.
Powers led strenuous fight and be-
came the hero of the range. His
popularity extended to various Sec
tions of the state and he has been
frequently mentioned for the govern
orship later on.
The charges of corruption in ad-
ministration affairs have been pre-
ferred by men close to the mining
companies and the state was forced to
investigate. Minor Irregularities have
been found but nothing serious has de-
veioped so far. Some Ct the contract
ing companies and couple of Hibbing
banks and newspaper publishers are
in disrepute as a consequence.
Mr.. Shepard is of the opinion that
if death had not removed Governor
Hammond and thrown political mat
tiers into chaos as FAR as democratic
circles were concerned, Hibbing's
mayor would have sought a nominal
ton and more would have been heard
of him. Mr.. Shepard thinks Power
is good waiter and will appear in
state politics as soon as opportunity
offers.

KESSLER'S TUBERS
PREY OF HUNTERS
Farmer Near Morris is Angry
Because Hunters Shoot His
Ducks and Rob Fields

Charging that hunters who have
visited his farm, some of whom he
says live in Morris, have killed his
tame ducks and robbed his potato
patch, Peter Kessler, a prominent
farmer living near this city, is up il
arms today and may greet the next
hunting party who reaches his place
with a musket filled with salt. There
are to be no more pot gang parties at
his expense if it lies within his power
to prevent. |. w. w. methods do
not conform to his ideas of sportsman
ship or hospitality.
Shortly after the hunting season
opened Mr.. Kessler's early potatoes
began to leap out of the ground and
disappear. Investigation disclosed the
fact the potatoes had been cooked and
eaten la hobo style at camp near
by. Mr.. Kessler also had the plea
sure of seeing several men later con-
iscating some of the potatoes and as
he observed their evident joy in the
matter he decided to enter no obiec-
tions. 1t appeared the men were sat-
istied with just enough potatoes for
their meal.
In the past few days this class of
hunters have become more bold at the
Kessler farm and potatoes have dis
appeared at an alarming rate. On
several occasions tame ducks, the
pride of the Kessler poultry yard,
have disappeared and Mr.. Kessler has
discovered that the ducks have been
killed by the hunters, but they were
not eaten at the camp. The lucks
went to swell the number of their wild
cousins which hunters have found so
distressingly few in the old game
haunts this fall. There are no fed
eral or state law restrictions on the
number of tame ducks which hunt
ers may have in their possession
but it does make a difference to
Mr.. Kessler whose tame birds the
hunters get without first submitting
to the formality of paying for them.
So after today Mr.. Kessler will
keep one eye on the potato patch and
the other on the poultry yard while
he has within convenient reach his old
family musket filled with salt. The
first hunter who trespasses upon his
premises with an affinity for potatoes
or tame ducks will suddenly discover
the bosom of his pants filled with
natures own preservati e.

VERMONT TRADE REPORT.
Manufacturers and Jobbers Bothered in
Delivery of Materials.

Bradstreet S Burlington office reports
the record for the week S business
shows general confidence that the pre-
vailing high pressure in demand will
continue undated for some time I'M

Noticeable of the week S happenings is
the announcement of the voluntary in
crease in wages to operators in certain
wooden and cotton mills i'll this state.
WOODEN mills are employed to capacity
and the only factor to interrupt Will
he inability to secure raw material. 1t
has been apparent for some time not
only with this class of manufacture but
with jobbers and retail merchants that
in many instances it is impossible to
obtain deliveries ON certain classes of
commodities. Jobbers who have been
depending upon japanese markets for
certain kinds of goods find that they
are unable to obtain certain kinds of
goods. The reason given IS that Jap
anesc manufacturers are unable to sup
ply goods as fast as needed even with
plants taxed to capacity.
In this state the garment manufac-
turcrs report a large business; buying
is heavy and efforts are being concen-
tratod to keep pace with the demand.
Such a condition also surrounds plants
using white goods as we'll as materials
used in manufacture of other garments
and ovcralls. The short supply of soft
coal is also being felt and some incon-
venionccs noted by reason of inability to

labor could he used in all lines, with
the possible exception of granite which
docs not show the large volume shat is
noted in other lines.
Some manufacturers of sugar appara-
tus are finding difficulty in obtaining
the larger sizes of tin necessary in their
business. They report, however, large
business and that the demand was in ex-
cess of what it was 4 year ago. With
/ the high prices received by the farmer

week have favored a good retail trade

tion of a few places, slcighing has been

Included in the week s reyerses were

a little better, but there is still con
siderable complaint.

Learning How To Care for Soldiers.
Barre Times

\odIIC
The United States military depart
ment learned its lesson in 1898 In that
year the department sent 147,795 regu-
lar and volunteer troops to war against
Spain, and among that number there
developed 20, 926 eases of typhoid few
er, with 2,lg2 deaths in eight months.
1t was terrible record of unprepared-
ness against disease. In contrast to
that record, let it be stated that the
government sent 10000 regular and
National Guard troops either into Mex
leo or to the boundary last spring. and
from MAY | to Oct. Is there were only
"a cases of typhoid and from those
cases no deaths resulted. In fact, there
were only l2l fatalities from all causes,
of which 81 were due to disease, the
remainder being due to external causes
such as the handling of firearms, etc.
To carry the 1898 and 1916 contrast
still further, it should he stated that of
the 81 deaths due to disease only II
were the result of acute infectious dis
eases. This comparative freedom from
infectious disease is all the more re
markable when it is considered that the
troops were modified in a warm eli
mate during the hottest months of the
year, when infectious diseases might be
expected to break out, if ever. Despite
the weather handicaps, the disease prob
lem was reduced to a minimum and all
bat eliminated. The Vermont troops
had comparatively little sickness and
only two deaths, as already stated in
| these columns, one of the deaths being
| due to external cause and the other to
disease, although not of the contagious
sort, II is understood. The Vermont
troop conditions were typical of the en-
tire army in the long period of en-
campment from May l to Oct. Is and,
no doubt, of the period after the
! latter date because the climatic
influences have been more favorable to
rugged health of the soldiers than dur
ing the hot summer. Therefore, it may
be stated that the mobilization of the
| troops was of tremendous benefit as an
eXemplifcation of the improved SAM
| tary and health conditions arranged by
the war Department.; it demonstrated
that the United States government has
learned how to take care Of its sol
diers.
