A Sad Tragedy.

Mrs. John Schweppe returned
home day or two ago from Elk
Point, South Dakota, where she had
been to attend the funeral of the
late Mrs. Louise Eslick, who suicid-
ed at Elk Point last week. Mrs.
Schweppe had lived with the family
of the deceased when child and
the two were like sisters. Mrs. Es-
lick had visited Webster City and
vicinity many times and was well
known and highly respected by
numerous acquaintance here. She
had been in i'll health for some time
before her death and nurse had
been caring for her. The nurse
went to Sioux City for brief visit
and when she returned in the even
ing Mrs. Eslick was not in the
house. A search was instituted and
her dead body was found hanging
in the woodshed attached to the
barn, the unfortunate woman hav-
ing tied rope about her neck and
jumped from box. The deceased
was fifty-nine years of age and was
the widow of Sam'l Eslick. a former
well known resident of this county.
The family went to South Dakota
many years ago and won financial
success at farming. Some thirteen
years ago they moved into Elk
Point, where they bought fine res
idence, which was the scene of the
tragedy that ended the life OF Mrs.
Eslick.

ney, but Luverne was represented

Illinois VS.. Iowa Roads.

Mt. Vernon Hawkeye: No Iowar
who has driven an automobile in
Illinois comes home to complain Of
the roads of his own state. While
there are main roads in this neigh
boring state leading everywhere Of
the permanent type, either stone OF
gravel macadem, they are weighed
in the balance and found wanting
in the final analysis with Iowa
dragged dirt roads. The so-called
permanent roads are nearly all in
an abominable condition of repair
For fifty continuous miles this side
of Chicago one drives over worn out
macadam such as is found in Linn
county only through kenwood Park
the Central City road out of Marion
and in the city limits of Cedar Rap
ids. The same condition largely
prevails in Wisconsin and Michigan.
The exceptions are largely in states
for immigration. The more popu-
lated community and the heavier
the traffic the greater becomes the
problem of maintaining roads, as is
evidenced by the fact that the near
er you get to Chicago the worse the
roads are. There is plenty to be
done in the way of road work in
Iowa, very great plenty in our
mind, which can be done on a
downright practical, profitable, eco
nomical basis and investment, but
We are not gaining anything by
complaining in way that amounts
to exaggeration and knocking on
the state. Iowa is still the land, as
we have before and will continue to
maintain, of fulfilled promise
Boost for good roads, but do not
knock for them.
An incident of a motor trip
through Illinois last week which
warmed the cookies of the heart, or
whatever it is that brings sensa-
ton of pleasure and gratitude, was
that of a motherly woman leaning
out of a passing Ford car with an
Illinois name plate, exclaiming,
"Hurrah for Iowa! You're all
right"

A Reminder of Pioneer Days.

A Freeman-Tribune scribbler saw
the log cabin being put up on the
Thomas Bonebright home on east
Ohio street yesterday. The cabin is
erected as a novelty and as a sort
of reminder Of the good old days
some sixty years ago when this pi-
oneer family resided in that kind
of mansion" and in which the
joys and sorrows of the old days
came and went much the same as at
the present time. The new log cab
in occupies the site of the original
cabin in which Mr.. and Mrs. Bone
bright lived and in which some of
their children were born. Frank A.
Bonebright, their son, who resides
nearby, is the architect and builder
of the new structure and has been
working upon the cabin at odd
times. The structure is located in
the rear Of the Bonebright residence
and will be a valued adjunct to the
back yard conveniences at this
home, the intention being to use the
cabin as workshop or a place in
which the, family can take their
meals when the weather invites. 1t
is made of sawed Eastwood logs and
is 14x16 feet in dimensions. An
outside chimney and an inviting
fireplace will add to the comforts of
the log cabin.

CADDOCk THROWS
FREBURG EASILY
Downs Big Grappler in Straight
Falls Of Thirty-five and Five
Minutes Each.

Waterloo, Iowa, Sept. 4.-Earl
Caddock successfully defended his
claim to the worlds heavyweight
wrestling championship here yester-
day by defeating John Freburg in
two straight falls after the greatest
match ever staged in the city. Cad
dock won the first fall in 35 min
utes and Is seconds, and the second
in minutes and 80 seconds. He
won both falls with toe hold.
G The toe hold was the only hold
that the champion used successfully
against Freburg, and the latter
made great battle to break the
hold which brought about defeat.
Caddock applied it for over four
minutes before Freburg surrendered.
Freburg had Caddock on the defen-
sive several times, but the cham
pion was never in danger.
Relmar Myre of Forest City and
George Hill wrestled to a thirty
minute draw in the semi-windup.
