Iowa State Fair AND EXPOSITION DES MOINES Aug. 25th-Sept. 2d Why worry when the swimming is good? Flying is sadly in need of a safety attachment. Don't make a man hot by telling him to keep cool. Among the few things that are better broken may be mentioned heat waves. A German scientist has found 61,400,000 germs in a raisin. Boll your raisins. Man has constructed the flying machine, but he has not succeeded in taming it. Life insurance men who refused to take chances on the lives of aviators made a good guess. Instead of trying our popular songs on the dog we should first have them sung to the cow and note results. The emperor of China is to wear a military coat of European cut and tuck his shirt into his trousers. China is up and coming. That boy aviator who cuts cycles in the sky will not have to wait more than a week or two before finding himself the hero of a 5-cent thriller. A New York woman has recently been hunting through that city for an honest lawyer. When last heard from she was reported to be hoping on. That New York woman who sent $600 worth of jewels to the iceman by mistake did not wrap up the chunk of ice he left under the impression that it was a diamond. A St. Louis professor has discovered that noise shortens life, and this discovery we recommend to the whistling milkman and the neighbor who rises at 4:00 a.m. to m. to mow his lawn. It may be true that a cow gives down her milk better when there is music in the air, as an expert says, but that is no reason why the milkman should whistle while making his early morning calls. A financial news item reports a "superfluity of money in London." But even under such conditions and with summer heat prevailing the average Englishman probably will not admit that he has money to burn. A Florida woman who is the mother of 13 children has received a souvenir spoon from the state. As a dozen spoons constitute a set, it will readily be seen that she can furnish her table sooner by saving trading stamps. A California girl, fined $25 for racing her automobile against a steam locomotive, told the magistrate that the fun was worth the price. That is the trouble with the speed maniacs. The fun is more important to them than the safety of the public highway and the fine that may be thrown in. The only way to stop it is to impose a penalty that is weightier to them than the excitement of railroad speed on an open road. Americans are winning in fields where intellectual ability counts, as well as in more materialistic lines. The Royal Academy of Science of London, a young man who formerly was a student at Columbia university, New York, the Lobbitz gold medal, a very notable distinction, and awarded only to those showing high scholarship. The winner is the first American to whom the prize has been given. Everybody will rejoice that the forest fires which threatened destruction to the big trees of Sequila National park in California, have been brought under control and that the danger is past for the present. The big trees are unique, and once burned could never be replaced. They are among the most interesting of the natural curiosities of the United States, and it seems to have been hundreds of years in addition to the long life they have already enjoyed. The little submarine boat Salmon, built for the United States navy, seems to have shown beyond a doubt that she is seaworthy. She made a trip from Quincy, Mass., to Bermuda, over a course where rough weather and heavy waves are frequently encountered, and went through a rather try-ful journey. She and has demonstrated that craft of this kind may be operated effectively on the surface of the water as well as below. Her exploit adds another to the list of American submarines. A woman lawyer, who had exhausted every other resource during the trial of a case, ended up by crying. That is an argument that no male attorney ever has been able to answer. Gold continues to pour out of Alaska in a steady stream, with a fair prospect that the year's yield will beat all records. The recent addition to the world's supply of prescriptions without precedent. And the United States gets a big part of the output and hence is "well fixed" notwithstanding the large exports lately. Before going to sleep on an upper window still take the precaution to tie yourself in. Diving accidents resulting in broken necks continue to be regular incidents of bathing seasons. The expert in plunging from heights into depths which are cloaked from view is apt to forget all about the important matter of depth through familiarity with the seeming risks of ordinary plunges. The admonition "Look before you leap" is particularly applicable to the 11 MAY SOLVE MYSTERY Mason City Officers Get a Clue in Henry Luckus Case RAMSEY TAKEN INTO CUSTODY Mason City, IA., Aug. 11—While on a trip at Allerton, to run down a clue to the murder of the late Henry Luckus, whose dead body was found in the woods west of the city limits three weeks ago, Sheriff Holden struck a scent to the murder and incidentally unraveled a "black hand" mystery that has been bothering the officials at Allerton for several weeks. The murderer of Luckus was not found, a clue was traced to Benton, Mo., where it was lost, but which, it is expected will be picked up later. A few days after the murder of Luckus his mother received a letter from Allerton, signed Willard Ramsey, stating that he heard two men talking at the Rock Island depot at Allerton of a murder in Mason City, and that it yielded poorly, as they secured but $14. On returning home, the letter stated, the writer picked up a Des Moines paper and saw the account of the murder that the victim had secured a check for $14 the night before. This prompted Ramsey, he said, to write the letter, though a group of hours by Sheriff Holden and the officers at Allerton, Ramsey is said to have stuck to his story without variation. What lends color to the belief that either Ramsey, who is but 17 and said to be stepped in the dime novel style of literature, is faking, is mentally deficient, or has been used by some person or persons as a cat-paw to extort money is the fact that the handwriting of the letter received by Mrs. Luckus and containing threats unless money is paid, are the same. A careful comparison leaves no doubt, the officers say. Some weeks ago a prominent merchant of Allerton received a letter, unsigned, stating that if $300 was not placed on a certain evening in a certain place in his lumber yard his yard would be burned. Other business men received the same kind of threatening letters, and all of them turned them over to the police. The officers and postal authorities have been working on the thing for several weeks without the faintest clue as to the guilty party till the letter received here had been shown them. Just what will develop is yet difficult to determine, but it has led to interesting developments at any rate. Ramsey was taken into custody and will be held till an examination into his case can be made. Two men who applied for a job at the Rock Island shops at Benton, Mo., tally with the description given by Ramsey of the men he saw. Sherif Holden went to Kansas City from Benton, but found no trace. W. C. T. U. Meet at State Center. State Center—The sixteenth annual convention of the fourteenth district W. C. T. U., held at State Center, was a very successful meeting. A goodly number of delegates were present and the state president, Mrs. Etta B. Hurford, of Indiana, was in attendance and gave a very interesting address on "Glimpses of Europe," and a report of the great world's W. C. T. U. convention in Edinburgh, from which she has just returned. All the officers were reelected, president, Mrs. Lon Rodgers; vice president, Mrs. Mae Thompson; secretary, Mrs. Anna Talbot; treasurer, Mrs. Agnes Oats. Raymond Hardy Marries Miss Starne.

Next Tournament at Des Moines Red Oak, in-Des Moines gets the state firemen's tournament next week. The department Zell Roe of the Des Moines department of public safety, who is here camping with the Des Moines firemen, took the lead in the fight for the big show at Des Moines next year and won out. Sloux City was a rival contender and it took a hard fight to get it, but there seems little room to doubt that Des Moines has captured the plum, although the business session will be bold later. Superintendent Roe and the Des Moines delegation said they are con- dident that Des Moines can handle an attendance of at least 30,000. It is estimated that 10,000 saw the events at Red Oak. Fred and Mack, the crack team of No. 3, Des Molines, are the heroes of the tournament. They galloped a half mile in record-breaking time, while the crew made the hitch and laid 250 feet of hose in 1:16 flat, a new world's record. This means $400 to Des Molines. Council Bluffs and Clinton's second team tied for second place in 1:16 2:5. Clinton's first team was fourth and Sloux City was fifth. Post Mortem In Paralysis Case. Mason City.—In order to determine if possible the nature of infantile paralysis, a post mortem examination was made of the body of a 12-year-old girl, who died, it is thought, from the disease. While the patient exhibited some of the symptoms of the disease and died in much the same way other victims of the malady have, there was no paralysis present in any part of the body. The post mortem was conducted by Dr. Frost, the representative of the government here, assisted by local physicians, and specimens were taken and will be sent to Washington, D.C. for analysis at the United States hospital. The child, which lived in the country, took ill Sunday while attending a Sunday school session, and died Tuesday night. Another victim, a child of three years, showed all the symptoms of infantile paralysis, and was practically helpless. It also took ill Sunday while attending a Sunday school service with its parents, and died Tuesday. In each case private funerals were held and the homes fumigated. Clark Family In Lead. Mason City.—The Smith and Jones families have been relegated clear to the rear in this county and now it is the Clark family that are having their innings. If you are in trouble the case will be heard by Judge Joseph J. Clark of the district court. If an arrest is to be made it is Charles I. Clark that is sheriff. When the decision is reached it is County Clerk Elizabethtown, who will read the perfect, and when the jurors come to draw their pay it is Auditor A. S. Clark who will draw the warrant. Such an array of Clarks or of any other family is something new in the political kingdom. Asks Bonus of Fort Dodge. Fort Dodge—In order to rebuild their plant, which was almost completely destroyed by fire the directors of the Corn Belt Packing company at a dinner tendered by the Commercial club, asked $1,500 bonus. The club is endeavoring to raise this amount, and it is thought the rebuilding will commence soon. The bonus will be used to furnish adequate fire protection, either by the installation of a sprinkler system or by constructing the plant of reinforced concrete. Iowa City Has a Skunk Farm Iowa City—The day of the meek, lowly and despised skunk has come. Carver W. Thompson, an Iowa City merchant, has established a skunk farm at Butler's Landing, near town, and has devoted four acres to this enterprise. A large "crop" will be harvested in December and the returns, from hides, fur and skunk oil, it is believed, will be large. Skunk farms in Iowa are limited, but have produced great returns for the few investors to date. Harvest Hand Stabs Another. Council Bluffs—Fred Walters, of Chico, Calif., was stabbed by George Tucker of Randleman, N. C., in the North Western yards here. The two men were beating their way to the harvest fields. Both were well supplied with money and each claims the other tried to rob him. Aged Army Nurse Dead. Milo—Mrs. J. A. Notestine was buried here, aged 80 years.

The Body Does Not Feel Heat Unpleasantly if it has Proper Food— Grape-Nuts People can live in a temperature which feels from ten to twenty degrees cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by regulating the diet. The plan is to avoid meat entirely for breakfast; use a goodly allowance of fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then follow with a saucer containing about four ounces of milk or cream treated with a little rich cream. Add to this about two slices of crisp toast with a meager amount of butter, and one cup of well-made Postum. By this selection of food the bodily energy is preserved, while the hot, carbonaceous foods have been left out. The result is a very marked difference in the temperature of the body, and to this comfortable condition is added the certainty of ease and perfect digestion. This is likely partially pre-digested is quickly assimilated by the digestive machinery. Experience and experiment in food, and its application to the human body has brought out these facts. They can be made use of and add materially to the comfort of the user. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." WOODS KILLS SELF Coal Miner Found Dead with Gas Jet Turned On Had Returned Home Intoxicated—Police Called, But Woods Was Beyond Recall—Coroner Newen Will Hold Inquest. Des Moines, Aug. 12—Driven from his home by his wife and children when he came in an intoxicated condition, Robert Woods, a coal miner, living at 716 East Penn avenue, gained entrance to a lower room and closing the doors and windows turned on the gas. He was found dead Thursday morning. The police were summoned but Woods was beyond aid. His family was frantic with grief. They believed that they had caused his death by refusing him admittance to the house. Mrs. Woods told the police that he came home brutally intoxicated with "Chick" Chase at a late hour. They said they wanted a place to sleep. She locked the doors on them. Then the family retired. Woods forced a window to gain entrance. His wife was attracted by the odor of gas. Sursimming that something was wrong, she called the police. Coroner Newlen was summoned and will hold an inquest. The dead man was about 45 years old. His father was killed some months ago by a freight train in East Des Moines. ESCAPE FROM MAHASKA JAIL Three Prisoners Get Away After Releasing the Lock Control and Chloroforming the Turnkey.

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS "I had eczema on my hands for ten years. I had three good doctors but none of them did any good. I then used one box of Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle, together with the Cuticura Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle, I was entirely well. To any one who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly advise them to fool with nothing else, but get Cuticura and get well. My hands have never given me the least bit of trouble up to now. "My daughter's hands this summer became perfectly raw with eczema. She could get nothing that would do them any good until she tried Cuticura. She used Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks they were entirely cured. I have used Cuticura for other members of my family and it always proved successful. Mrs. M. E.

"The Memory Lingers" POSTUM CEREAL CO., LTD. Battle Creek, Mich. AERONAUT IS HURT WALTER BROOKINS' MACHINE CRASHES INTO CROWD OF SPECTATORS. SEVEN SERIOUSLY INJURED Presence of Mind Displayed by Aviator When Aeroplane Turns Turtle Probably Saves Many Lives—High Wind Causes Accident. Asbury Park, N. J.-Walter A. Brookins, the aviator, and seven spectators were seriously injured at the Interlaken field Wednesday when Brookins, in a new type of Wright biplane, attempted to effect a landing in a high wind, after making a sensational flight. George Burnett, fourteen years old, living at Spring Lake, N. J., was pinned under the wreckage and is dying at the Long Branch hospital as the result of a fractured skull, dislocated hip and internal injuries. Brookins, although pinned under the heavy motor, escaped with a broken nose and contusions about the head and body. The accident might have cost many lives, if it had not been for Brookins' presence of mind. In order to inaugurate Asbury Park's aviation meet on schedule time, he went up shortly after four o'clock in a gusty wind blowing at the rate of 30 miles an hour. As he was about to descend with one of his spectacular spiral turns he lost control of the machine. Being directly over the grand stand the machine dived for the panic-stricken crowd. Realizing that the result would be frightful if the craft fell on the spectators, caught like rats in a trap, Brookins managed to swing the machine around at an angle still more acute. But the aeroplane was too close to the ground to make the maneuver entirely successful. It barely cleared the heads of the wildly hysterical crowd, when it smashed into the grand stand at the end of the field. The groups of attaches there were unable to escape over a high wire fence designed to keep out the crowd. All of them were pinned under the wreckage. DISASTROUS FIRE IN BOSTON Property in Business Center of the City, Valued at $2,000,000 is Destroyed. Boston—Driven by a strong south-west gale flames destroyed property valued at $2,000,000 here Tuesday night and for a time seriously threatened to wipe out the business and manufacturing part of the city. A general alarm called all the fire apparatus in the city to the scene and later a call for help was sent to Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville and all the available fire fighting apparatus in those towns was rushed to the scene of the conflagration. Two lumber yards, fifty tenement houses and the Dover street bridge were in flames at one time. Three pieces of fire apparatus were lost by the department because of the rush of the flames. Several firemen and many policemen had narrow escapes from serious injury. Many of the tenement house dwellers in the fire zone also had narrow escapes from the rapidly spreading flames. Hundreds of pounds of dynamite were used to blow up buildings on both Dover and Albany streets to stop the progress of the conflagration, which was sweeping toward Washington street and the great shopping and business district when it was checked. While this fire was in progress another which threatened to be nearly as large raged in the wholesale district in the heart of the city, AMERICAN BOAT WINS CUP Schooner Westward, Owned by New York Yachtman, Takes Gold Tropy at Cowes.

GOOD KROP CORN MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL TREASURY FIGURES SHOW ADVANCE OVER BANNER YEAR. In First Twelve Months Act Produces $75,000,000 More Than in 1907. Washington.—The Payne-Aldrich tariff law has produced in its first year a revenue larger by $75,000,000 than the sum collected in any twelve months in the country's history, except the banner year 1907, according to treasury department figures issued Monday. During the first full year, ended last Saturday night, the total number of receipts, including customs, ordinary internal revenue, corporation tax and miscellaneous, aggregating $678,850,816, exceeded disbursements by $20,214,029. These ordinary receipts were larger by $15,000,000, approximately, than during 1907, and the 1907 receipts exceeded those of any other year of record by almost $60,000,000. Although there was a deficit of $58,734,955 in the ordinary operations of the government in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909, there was a surplus of more than $20,000,000 in the year which ended last Saturday, according to the department. The corporation-tax revenue was $27,090,934, which is only $207,000 less than the amount assessed. RAPER WINS KNIGHTS' DRILL Indianapolis Commandery Captures First Honors, Cincinnati Is Second, Kansas City Third.

An international concordat between Knights Templar organizations of England, Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the United States was formally ratified and adopted by the grand commandery of the United States at the first real business meeting of the sixty-first triennial conclave. The agreement prescribes the jurisdiction of the bodies in different countries. It is agreed that no commandery or other branch of the order in one country shall be organized in another country which is in the alliance. Each grand encampment, or grand prory, as they are termed in other countries, is given exclusive jurisdiction in its own country, and no other Templar body may be organized or conducted therein. SEVEN SUFFOCATE IN FIRE Incendiarie Blaze in Emigrant Lodging House at Jamalicia, L. I., in Fatal—Twelve Hurt. New York—Seven persons, two of them women, were suffocated to death, two were fatally hurt and ten others were injured less seriously when an incendiarie fire destroyed an emigrant lodging house at 100 Rockaway road, Jamalicia, Friday.

Washington.—Commissioner Cabell of the internal revenue bureau is hot after those persons using butter mergers or blenders to increase the butter supply of the country. He is sending to collectors and other agents of the internal revenue a circular branding as adulterated butter, within the terms of the law, the products of these machines. Briefly the decision is that the use of so-called butters mergers and blenders for emulsifying certain quantities of milk and butter subjects the product to a tax of 10 cents per pound as adulterated butter and the manufacturer or manipulator to a special tax of $600 per annum, if such goods are sold. If oils are used in this process the product is oleomargarine and subject to all the provisions of that law. The farmer has the advantage of the bureau, however, as he can sell his mixture of milk and butter without running afoul of the law. The dealer he sells it to, however, cannot dispose of it without paying license and being liable to the law. The merger machines claim to make two pounds of butter from one pound of butter and one pint of milk. JOE GANS, PUGILIST, DEAD Former .

It was that he might be with his old "mammay" at the end that the great fighter made his race with death a week ago, hurrying on from Arizona. Only a few friends had seen him since he left for Arizona a few weeks ago, in the vain and desperate hope of checking the white plague. When he came back he was little more than a skeleton, scarcely able to whisper, and weighed but 65 pounds. THIRD OF IOWA BABIES DEAD Health Board Calls Conference of Physicians to Check Maladies—One Town Has Forty III. Des Molines, Ia. — That one-third of the babies in Iowa under one year old have died since the hot weather set in was the alarming condition revealed by Dr. G. H. Sumner, secretary of the state board of health. Doctor Sumner attributes the unusual death rate to four causes: Cholera infantum, infantile paralysis, poor milk and improper care. According to statistics, the first-named disease is the worst in the history of the state. No section seems to be free from it, and infants are dying by the score. Doctor Sumner has called a special convention of physicians from all over Iowa to discuss means to prevent fatalities. Infantile paralysis is becoming alarming in many parts of the state. There are now more than forty cases in Mason City, and a number of deaths have resulted there. New York—News reached here Tuesday of the serious injury in London of Dr. B. F. Roller, the American wrestler. He broke two ribs in a contest with Gama, the East Indian wrestler. Iowa's Corn Crop Looks Good.

McAister, Okla.—Senator T. P. Gore at the investigation of the Indian land deals Tuesday introduced and had read to the special committee telegrams in which the names of Vice President Sherman and Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas were named One of the telegrams read: "With McMurray there to state our claims, with Mr. Curtis and Mr. Sherman, who understands better than anybody else what we want, and with the assistance of our president, it begins to look like we are coming into our own." Its relation to Senator Gore's charges of having been offered $25,000 bribe to "put through" congress the $30,000,000 McMurray Indian land deal was explained by the senator. "It merely shows the activity of the McMurray interests at Washington," said Senator Gore. "By offering this evidence, I do not wish to reflect either on Mr. Sherman or Mr. Curtis," said the senator. "Do you mean that as an exonération from you of Mr. Sherman?" asked Dennis Flynn, attorney for McMurray. "It is merely to state that if the names of these men were taken in vain at one time they may have been at another," replied Mr. Gore. McAlester, Okla., Six hundred Indians assembled at a "war council" at Sulphur, Okla., and, using up almost an entire bottle of ink, wrote their signatures individually to the McMurray land contracts. Although informed that J. F. McMurray, holder of the contracts, would not a profit of from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 in "attorneys' fees," the Indians were advised that the contracts afforded the quickest way to realize on their land, estimated to be 450,000 acres in extent, and valued at $30,000,000 to $40,000,000. In addition to the land contracts, McMurray's agents had the Indians sign contracts for tax cases against the government at a stated fee for each case. The land fee was 10 per cent, contingent upon the sale of the land. James H. Godfrey, a Chickasaw Indian by intermarriage, gave this testimony before the congressional investigating committee Wednesday. Godfrey said he induced the Indians to assemble at Sulphur to persuade them to sign the contracts, almost 10,000 of which McMurray previously had obtained. McMurray, he said, had been successful in previous litigation for the Indians and the Indians believed if they paid him 10 per cent attorneys' fees he would be able to urge the authorities at Washington to expedite the sale.

St. THE HOUR THE ORIGINAL HAIR GROWER We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours with PORO TRADE MARK REGISTERED. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was posi- ble; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that their is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO.
