Cedar Rapids, Aug. 4.-Does hitting
the sawdust trail and experiencing
conversion under the guidance Of an
evangelist afford reason for break
ing a contract having worldly ten
denotes? And should city, when SELL
ing park concessions, stipulate that the
concessionaire must be immune from
conscientious objection to selling pea
nuts and palliatives Of thirst and heat
on the Sabbath?
This compound legal question is dis
turbing Cedar Rapids. The park con-
cessions for 1916 and 1917 were sold to
one DeDbridge for $1,000 per year, the
money to be devoted to band concerts
He claimed to have accumulated a
deficit for 1915 by the operation.
Possibly this turn Of affairs caused
him to seek spiritual solace. Last win
ter he was converted by the ministra-
tons of a tabernacle teacher. Then he
sought the doges Of the city, spread
before them his contract, told them OF
his Christening and asked to be relieved
His own conscience and the evangelist
agreed that it would be sinful to dis
pense pop, lemonade, ice cream, pea
nuts and crackerjack on the Sabbath
without Sabbath sales the concession
at $1,000 the year would mean a loss
Should he be compelled to pay by such
loss for the sweet solace of the spirit?
Mayor Roth and Commissioners La
zell, Zika, Kennedy and Evans have
respect for religion. They allow their
wives to have it. They Cancelled the
contract. refunded the unearned money
and put the concessions up at sale
A bottling company bought them in
at $500.
Then the bottling company put Del
bridge in possession. The city seems
to be out $500, which at 500 each
would have paid for eight band con-
certs.
The conscience Of Mr.. Delbridge ap-
pears to have earned $500 for one year
or 5 per cent Of capitalization OF
SIG 900.

FARMER MEETS AWFUL DEATH.
Drawn Into Threshfns Machine and
Body Torn to shreds.

e.
Washington, Iowa, Aug. 4.-Douglas
Rathmael, farmer. was Instant
ly killed by being drawn into thresh-
Ing machine. The lower part Of his
body was literally torn to shreds. The
machine had kept choking and would
not work properly. In an endeavor to
discover the cause Mr.. Rathmael
climbed to the top and began investi-
eating with a stick when the fatal ac-
cident occurred. No one knows whether
a board gave way or whether the stick
caught in the cylinder and drew him
in. The engineer saw him fall and
men near heard one agonized word,
"Help!"-that was all. 1t is thought
he died almost instantly.
When Mr.. Rathmaeps body was re-
moved, it was found tina, the lower
limbs were horribly cut and mangled
and held together by mere shreds. He
had fallen In such a way that his face
rested in his hands and both were UNI

and the boys and I certainly did ap,
preciate it. The cookies and candy
were fine. | wish to thank you all
very much for this thoughtful act on
your part, and trust that will be
able to repay it at some future date.
We did not have to drill this after
noon. The whole battery was called
out, even the cooks. stablemen and
all special duty men. We were then
told what we have been waiting to
hear-we are to go to Fort Sheridan
as soon as possible, so It is all up to
the service that we can get from the
railroads.
This is an ideal camp here for the
summer, but 1t Is no good FOR this
branch OF the service in the winter
because all OF the stables ale open,
and as it Is now there are more hors-
es than men stationed here. So We
will all be out OF here before the cold
weather sets if
