stances. At Burling ton, in the north
ern part of the state are some extern
'sive Ignite mines The men who are
developing those mines have invested
considerable money. They have q
large force Of men, and they try to
give them salaries and working con-

ever, when the national coal strike
was declared, these miners struck cut

Until Atha stopped over" in the
central committee fight recently, it
had appeared as though he was pref
ty likely to win out for treasurer.
He. and Mr.. Carley had run almost
even in the primary, and much Of the
Kremer vote was expected to 60 to.
Atha this fall. Hence, here is an. in-l
tcresting piece of information on a
bank deal that was proposed here in
Linton: IS
An Effort was recently made to re-
organize a local bank Ia Linton. A
nart Of the plan provided for E J. D..
Fogle becoming q stockhold der, and
for MI. Fogle backing E. 7 Atha
for some stock. Another local man
was also to buy stock, but he finally
decided to stay out of it.. So the deal
fell through, temporarily at least.
During the recent campaign Mr.. Atha
was often called the bankers candi-
date" because many banks of the coun-
~ were supporting him.. Had the
Fogle-Atha bank deal gone through,
some of the other banks in the coun-
|ty might have felt pretty sore that
they HAD helped to elect possible
compel itegs ass treasurer

REPAID HIS KINDNESS
Baggageman on Rock Island Be-
queathed Sum of $500.

Sam Fulton, baggageman, for the
Rock Island, running on the milk"
train between Chicago and Joff8t,
H., has fallen heir to an endowment
of five hundred dollars as the result
of small kindness, recently rem
dered one of the dairy farmers along
his route. Fulton lives in Joliet
and one day, several years ago
found buyer for the surplus milk
produced on the farm of Chas. Nor
iarity of Mokena. 1t was entirely
outside the duty" of Sam" to
render this sort of service, 1ut he
spent an extra hour when he reached
Chicago to find the buyer. Then he
forgot the incident until one day re-
Gently, he was informed by an at,
torney at Mokena that the farmer
had died and left "Sam Fulton, my
FRIEND" five hundred dollars by the
terms of the will. Sam says he is
going to "salt it down for rainy
day"
This isn't the first time that Sam
has been remembered by the dairy
farmers who have been his custom
ers for many years. Some ten years
ago, Fulton took the time to buy
some whole wheat bread for another
farmer when the latter was sick for
a few days. This. farmer later died
and every Thanksgiving Day since,
Sam has received a turkey. Although
the farmer and his wife have long
since passed away, the son continues
to remember Sam" at the request
of his father and mother.
All of which illustrates that cour-
tesy always makes friends.

Loses Fortune Thru Stock Salesman

Guthrie Center, Iowa-A tragedy,
an echo of the wild days of get rich
quick financing which swept Iowa
and other states during the war was
enacted here this week when the
once stalwart form and great mind
of a man was taken by officers to an
asylum where the wreck wrought by
stock statesmen probably will end his
days.
George A. Carpenter was at one
time not long since regarded as one
of the wealthiest and shrewdest
farmers and stock raisers of this
county. Visions of greater wealth
held out to him by stock statesmen
of concerns which proved worthless,
or nearly 50, and as he saw his
wealth disappearing Carpenter
brooded and became respondent and
finally, before the board of insanity
commissioners, was declared insane.
Carpenters investment in stocks is
said to have been enormous and the
profits of the stock statesmen nearly
as large. Carpenter has been d
widower for forty years.

Returned the Wrong Ring

Miss Bertha Hoes, of Marshalltown
was arrested Friday night, charged
in an information filed by Rudolph
Wilkins, a salesman, with the larceny
of a diamond valued at 5000.
1t is alleged by Wilkins that he let
Miss Hoes wear a diamond ring be-
longing to him. When he asked that
the ring be returned Miss Hoes as
sented, it is alleged, but the diamond
had been removed from the setting
and cheap stone substituted.
Miss Hoes was released on bond of
$500 for appearance in municipal
court Wednesday. Miss Hoes said to-
day, ut was a mistake" but further
than to make this statement she said
she did not care to discuss the case.

BARB WIRE INVENTOR DEAD
Problem of Keeping Unduly Cow in
Pasture Led to Invention.

Seattle, Wash.-Credited with be-
ing the inventor of twisted barbed
wire, Levi Woodward died recently
on farm near Kent, Wash.
While he was a farmer in Wyan-
dot county, Ohio, "a years ago, he
owned cow that kept pushing its
way to liberty thru the smooth wire
strands of his pasture fences. Think
ing over the problem one day he de-
cided that two small wires properly
twisted together with a quantity OF
small barbS attached at regular in
tervals would detain the COWS until
it found an easier and less painful
exit.
The idea when translated to some
Pittsburgh capitalists and iron max
ers at once sprung into being.
Barbed wire had a marvellous sale
but Woodward failed to profit much
in the invention.
Many doughboy will read with
interest the history of barbed wire,
because in the world war it was one
of the most deadly agencies connected
with the conflict.
Humane societies over the nation
have in late years taken a stand
against the widespread use of barbed
wire for live stock Enclosures because
of the injuries inflicted on animals
when crowded into its strands.

WRECK ON MILWAUKEE
Twelve Cars of Cattle and Hogs Go
Into Ditch Near Luana.

One of the worst freight wrecks
on this division of the C. NJ. & st. p
Ry. in years occurred at the first
Gro ssing west of Luana at a little
past six o'clock last Sunday morning
when eleven cars of cattle and hogs
and car of eggs went into the
ditch, piling up the cars in less than
half the space they would normally
occupy.
The train left Postville a few min
utes before six a. M, eastbound, and
fifteen minutes later twelve cars In
the middle of the train were in the
ditch nearly seven miles from here,
which shows they were going at ter
rife speed when the accident occur
ed, it being the usual custom of the
stock trains to hit as near express
train speed as possible down the
Ridley hill to make the grade just
east of Luana.
Of the twelve cars that were piled
up eleven were loaded with cattle
and hogs and strange as it may
seem but eleven or twelve head of
stock were killed outright, though
others were so badly injured they
soon died and others were shot to
put them out of their misery.
How anything could come out of
such a mess alive is little short of,
miraculous, for most of the the cars
had their trucks stripped out from,
under them and were hurled heller
SHELTER in every manner of destruc-
ton. One of the cars was broken
almost as squarely in two as if the
work had been done by a carpen-
ter's saw. Another car, loaded with
Hereford cattle, was turned complete
ly bottom side up and the sides torn
loose form the ends at two corners,
and those living in that vicinity say
the Infatuated animals came run
ming out of these openings at a
right lively rate, some of them run
ming across the road, jumping the
fence and continuing their journey
across the fields, while others took
to the roads at lively pace, any
thing to get away from the railroad,
and strange as it may seem, we arc
told not one of these cattle was Ell
Their killed or seriously injured. A
cow dragged from one of the cars
dead had piece of board two or
more inches wide driven straight
into her head.
Farmers in the immediate vicin.
ity had their attention first at
tracted to the wreck by the below
ing of the cattle and squealing of
the pigs, mingled with the groans
Of agony from the poor brutes tNal
we're suffering from heir injuries.
The refrigerator car of eggs had
its trucks stripped completely out
from under it was shot bodily clear
to the bottom Of the embankment
and landed right side up, but not
with care, as it was split open from
end to end on one side and displayed
to view a badly scrambled bunch of
eggs.-Postville Herald.

Embarrassing.

My most embarrassing moment was
one day when one of my friends and
i were in town together. We went
into store and my friend bought a
toothbrush. The storekeeper wrapped
1t up and we started out of the store.
He said something. | thought he
asked If we wanted anything else, so
i said NO" and we went out Of the
store. When we got out on the steps
he came out behind us and asked my
friend If she wasn't going TO pay for
the toothbrush | certainly fel. fool
ish, because ! knew then that that
was what he had asked before.-Ex-

HIGH TAX MAKES NO ODDS
People Want Standard Schools at All
Hazards.

Twice in the very recent past we
have evidence that the people of Iowa
as a whole are not in favor of cut
ting expenses to the detirment of the
present high standard of our schools.
The most recent case to point was
at Pella last week, where, according
to the Booster, between 300 and 400
citizens and taxpayers of the indie
pendent school district of that city
met at the high school building to
discuss the feasibility of cutting the
salaries of the teaching force of the
public schools. The board decided 10
make a per cent reduction and a
number of the business men of the
district We're of the opinion that re-
trenchment in the way of sacrificing
good and efficient teachers for the
sake of small reduction was the
heighth of folly, and objected to the
reduction. The outcome was that the
board dec:,ed o ,save It to major
ity of those w..o would attend a mass
meeting c De Il ; 1or the purpose of
discussing the advisability of the ac-
ton of the board. After a number of
comparisons and short talks by a
number that were present, vote was
taken on the question. The result
was that the question of reduction Of
wages was defeated by majority of
three to one.
The Booster believes that the result
of this meeting was a good thing.
That Pella nor no other city cannot
afford to take backward step in the
matters Of progress of the people and
community. We cannot afford to ct
all our work of the past become nj
and this is what will happen if we
permit ourselves to ge. into a nut
where we will fail to move forward,
and we hope the good people of the
community will push all public i'm
provements and work with vigor.

BULL ATTACKS MAN
In Fierce Fight, But Farmer Gets
Away,

Audubon, Iowa,-The next time
Nels Rasmussen, aged forty, farm
er of more than usual strength, goes
into the barn yard where his bull
is loose he will not go alone. Nels
owes to his great strength the fact
that he is alive and recovering from
mass of bruises and several brok>
en- bones.
The bull attacked Rasmussen saw
agely with head and front feet and
the two struggled about the barn
yard with no one in sight to render
aid. Once Rasmussen almost escap-
ed, but the bull headed him off.
Finally Rasmussen managed to get
a firm hold on the ring in the built
nose and twisting it violently caused
the bull such pain he gave up the
fight and Rasmussen dragged himself
out of the yard.

Cat Mothers Five Wolf Cubs

Five wolf cubs, orphaned by the
death of their mother, were mothered
for several days by cat belonging to
Charles Miller, of Bangor township,
who kept the cubs until he could
come to Marshalltown to collect the
bounty says the Times Republican.
While blowing for corn Miller came
across a wolf den in his field. He
dug out the mother, which he killed,
and captured the five cubs. The pelt
of the mother and the live cubs were
brought to Marshalltown to collect
the bounty. The county refused to
pay until the cubs were killed. Mil
Ter collected $50.

was connected with the burial of
the woman, Mrs. Hawthorne, who
succumbed to illness while in Waukon
on a visit week ago and died at the
Grand hotel. She had a welltodo
sister living in Nebraska who pro-
vided funds for her funeral expenses
and for transportation of the re-
mains to McGregor for interment.
1t so happened she had a son who
had been sent to the state prison in
Wisconsin for robbery whom she
greatly desired to attend her funer-
al. 1t was not permissible for the
governor to allow a prisoner to
leave the state, but in order 10
grant the request the body was
taken to Prairie du Chen where the
son was permitted 10 come and at

which the remains were taken back
