AUTO ACCIDENT
ANSCHUTZ ROAD
Cars Driven by the Rev: Father Zaiser
OF Fort Madison and Keokuk
People Collide Last
Night.

Another Memorial day automobile
accident goes on record in which two
cars are damaged but no persons in
Jured with the Rev. Father Arthur j.
Zaiser of Fort Madison and Mr.. and
Mrs. c. w. Durett of Keokuk, being
the principal characters. y
The accident occurred at the second
curve in the Anschutz road last night.
The Ford sedan driven by Father
Zaiser and another car were coming
UP the hill and at the point near the
second curve in the road, Father
Zaiser attempted to pass the other car
at the same time machine driven by
Mrs. Durrett was coming down the
hill. The three cars were close to-
igether in place which was too small
for all of them which resulted in the
car belonging to the Fort Madison
man hitting the one in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Durrett were in, and the third
car passing the two of them and going
on up the hill. ''
The car belonging to Father Zaiser
lost it's front wheel. The axle was
also broken and the front fender bent
The fender of Mr.. Durrett's car was
also broken.
Father Zaiser takes all of the re-
sponsibility for the accident, stating
that he should not have tried to pass
the frstscar when the second was ap-
preaching from the other direction.

Is Fame Becoming Extinct ?

Philip Curtis, in Harper's Magazine:
"a ball-player of national prominence
was hailed into court not long ago
in connection. with some msdemeanor.
One can picture this darling of the
public approaching the bar of justice
self possessed, tolerant and, per
haps, slightly amused. What, then,
was his shock to find that the judge
had never heard of him. The blow
to his, pride must have been far
greater than the humiliation of his
original arrest.
Yet this incident is only sign of
the times. With blinking eyes l
have watched the world for the past
few years and asked myself whether
fame has ceased to be the reward of
achievement or distinction. We have
close at hand a really startling proof
that it has.
1t would be ridiculous even to as
sumo that any reader of these lines
has not been familiar from infancy
or from the event--with the names
and achievements of Grant, Lee, Sher-
man, Sheridan, Mcclellan, Jackson
Meade, Hooker, Custer, and probably
Longstreet and Beauregard leaders in
a. war fought nearly sixty years ago
To the public of 1867 these names
were certainly as vivid as they are
today, yet how many readers can
name a single American general who
commanded any one of the huge sep
arate armies into which our troops
in France were divided? Who led
the American forces at Saint-Mihiel?
At Belleau Wood? At the Argonne?
We all know that General Butler oc-
cupied New Orleans Who occupied
Germany? H...
Instinctively most of us would ex-
plain this phenomenon by some vague
reference to modern trench warfare"
but the present day anonymity of mil
itary heroes can be strangely duplica-
ted in every one of those lines of
provinces in which great fame has al
ways been the peculiar reward.
