The Bystander from Des Moines, Iowa • Page 2

State Bystander 'h lyiundar Pub. Co. Olft MOINKS. IOWA Xuun In Bualaw. For the average man success depends more upon his ner and appearance than upon his knowledge of his trade or business, or, as one might say, of his profession.

Chicago newspaper has lately been noting some failures and their causes. It cites the case ot one man who was a successful salesman ip a business house In Chicago, but was unable to get any custom when sent on the road. The general manager ot the business went to lunch with hTm one day, to talk over the matter. The man crumbled crackers into his soup until It was thick, and then ate the mixture from the end of his spoon in great mouthfuls. When the meat was served, he shoveled it in with his knife, and finished eating and was noisily picking his teeth almost before tbe manager had begun his meal.

In reply to a question, he told the manager that he always took his customers but to lunch, and "used every method to Mn their confidence and friendship." The manager then said: "You couldn't sell me a stick of gum. No man whose personal habits are so obtrusively vulgar as yours could have the slightest influence with Had 1 lunched with you before sending you on the road, I would never have disgraced our house by giving it such a representative." These words hurt, says Youth's but tho man profited by them, and to-day is one of the most gentlemanly as well as one of the most successful salesmen on the road. Another case cited is that of a minister whose unrefined manners annoyed his women relatives. They tried to help him, but he relented their suggestions, and men less able intellectually, but with mora of the graces of refinement in their manners, were called to the opportunities for service in the pulpits of the large and influential churches. They used to teach manners in the old days.

Now there is little formal Instruction. If a youth does not learn good manners at home, he has to pick them up when he gets out into the world, or else be handicapped. Great geniuses have commanded respect in spite of boorishness, but it is never safe for a young man to assume that he is genius. Political Geography. A new study has been added to the curriculum of certain American colleges.

It is xUiown as 'political geography and is defined as the study of geography in relation to political and social To teach economic subjects, as well as otner university branches a knowledge of elementary geography is required. It was found that many students, though primed with Greek and lacked anything approaching familiarity with old-fashioned study. Hence the Invention of political c-ography. The elementary side is taken up and, in. connection with this, emphasis is laid upon an explanation of hiw each country studied came to be a separate, distinct country upon its political instiutlons and the geographic influences that have affected them, and upon the present political problems of paramount interest in connection with each of the countries studied.

The world events of the past two years have greatly assisted in making the course interesting. This year, while tbe class was studying Great Britain, the Irish question was agitating British politics in the study of France, the great question of separation of church and state came up for discussion the interest of the class in Norway and Sweden was enhanced by the events that have led to the separation of Norway from Sweden the Balkan question has been at the forefront for a few months past and for two years the great Russo-Japanese war has made the study of Russia and Japan of especial Interest The man "who knows It all" and deems himself all-sufficient for all ocicasions, and especially for emergencies, is a familiar figure in all em'ployments, public and private. More 'men achieve failure by knowing too 'much and trying to do too many 'things to which they are not called by the opposite course. The overdoer, more frequently than the man who keeps below a high standard, fails to realize his aims. Dominated by a deep and abiding sense of his capacity for usefulness and by an equally robust doubt of other men's qualifications, this inflated personage is a nuisance at all times and in any avocation.

She was placed under arrest and taken to tho station. Detective Jackson searched the dwelling and found the razor with which the cutting is alleged to have been done hidden under an old pile of clothes in a closet. Mrs.

Lewis confessed to the cutting. "This man Cheatum," she said, "formerly boarded with me. I drove him out. He would keep coming back. He assaulted me once or twice and I was afraid of him.

Last night he came back again and demanded money that he had paid me for board. I refused to give it up. Then he threw a brick or a piece of board at me, hitting me in the back. Then 1 cut him. I only used a little pen knife.1' Mrs.

Lewis says she, will file charges against Cheatum charging him with attempting to break into her home as soon as he is able to leave the hospital. "When Mrs. Lewis was first arrested she denied the charge but was finally persuaded to talk by Detective Jackson. ALLEGED DIAMOND ROBBER Taken into Custody by the Ottumwa Officials. E.

McCoy, an alleged diamond robber, was arrested here by private detective John W. Gray on a warrant which was served by Constable Ezra Davis, charged with the theft of a number of diamonds from the residence of H. Boston, a prominent Ottumwa citizen. Besides this theft, McCoy is believel to have perpetrated the burglaries in the homes of former Mayor D. A.

La-j force, Dr. J. L. Baker, and W. Webster, and attempted entrances into the homes of A.

C. Lelghton and W. W. Ennis. McCoy, while denying the theft the diamonds from lue iiume of Mr.

Boston, is expected by Detective Gray to Rive up the whole story of this and other thefts. The robberies were committed about a month ago, and McCoy's capture was only effected aftefr the most Btrenuous work. He was engaged as a painter at the Boston home, artid "by this means, it is alleged, discovered the location of the valuables. After a month's absence from the city he returned and his capture was affected at once. Castor Beans Almost Fatal.

Council a relish to his dinner on Memorial day, a farm hand named William Boroff, working near this city, swallowed four or five castor beans. A few hours later ne was seized with violent cramps and a physician who was called In declared that the beans had poisoned Boron. The latter vomited profusely and an opiate had to be administered to relieve his agrony. It happened that the beans were dried ones, which was the only thing that saved his life, according to the diagnosis of the attending doctor. Boroff's condition is still serious, but he is expected to recover.

Ltgi tring Strikes School. Charles struck and nearly wrecked the school house at Floyd. The bolt struck the cupola and went through the roof, circulated around the corner into all the rooms, ripped oft the plaster, tore up the floor, wrecked and played havoc generally.

Des the favorite, won the seventeenth annual field ami track meet of the Iowa ate Athletic association at the stato fair grounds. The amassed 43 points and Grlnnell ished second with 38 points.

Then came the Normal team with 22 points, Iowa with 20 points, Drake university with 1G points, and Coe college with 1 point Des Moines college and Simpson failed to place men in any of the final events. The meet was filled with sensations and five state records were shattered. There was not an event, that was not hotly contested to the very end, and the track events were unusually close. The breaking of state records started early in the day. In the high hurdles, Henninger of Ames finished in :15 4-5, two-fifths of a second better than Clow's and Chapman's records that still hold, for Henninger, "nfortunately, failed to leave all hurdles standing.

Clow, however, lowered the record for the low hurdles, a record made by C. E. Fisher, whose pupil Clow is. Fisher's old record was :26 1-5 and Clow accomplished the feat In :25 4-5. The next and most astonishing record established was in the mile relay, the Grinnell team, Dawson, De Haan, Jaqua and Huff, cutting down the time to 3:26 2-5 from the old Ames time of 3:32 3-5.

It was one of the prettiest races of the day and was madly cheered by the crowds in the amphitheater and quarter stretch. The pole vault record was. raised to 11 feet 7 inches by Haggard of Drake from Bunton's old score of 11 feet. Bunton failed to secure a place, for Bickel of Ames and Woods of Normal both climbed to over 11 feet. Barry Conaway of Drake secured his "one good put" in the shot event.

It was a foregone conclusion that If the giant athlete that Dr. Monilaw has been working so hard with could secure one of his good throws he would not only win the event, but would break the state record, and he did it. Last year McKean of Grlnnell sent the lead ball 40 feet 5 inches, and Conway added four inches to the mark. Pell's old hammeV record went by the board when Andy Chalmers took his fling. For several years the Pell record of 132 feet 8 Inches has stood, but the Iowa athlete sent the ball and wire 133 feet 2 inches, beating Pell's great throw six inches.

BUYS DRUG FOR WIFE And Ends His Life with Dose of Morphine. W. Beckel, aged 5a years, died at his home on Fourth avenue from tbe effects of a quantity of morphine, self-administered. Beckel, who was despondent, purchased twelve one-fourth grain morphine pills from a local druggist, stating that he wished them for hi3 wife, who was ill. Lying down on a sofa at his home at night he swallowed the entire quantity, one-tenth of which would have been enough to produce the desired result.

Before sinking into the coma from which he never rallied, he bade his wife and sons good-bye. A physician was hastily summoned, who was powerless to rouse the sleeper, however, as the pills were of the soft variety, which quickly are acted upon by the digestive substances, and the unfortunate man died three hours after he took the narcotic. Beckel was one of the best known and most popular salesmen in Clinton, where he had made his home since 1870, coming from Germany. He was formerly in the dolliiug business in this city, but of late years has held positions with the leading clothiers of the city. He leaves his wife and sons.

REPENTANCE IS TOO LATE. Guy R. Austin of Neola Dies of Alcoholism. Council Repentance over his habits of Intemperance came too late for Guy R. Austin, a returned Philippine soldier of Neola, la.

Austin died at St. Bernard's hospital in this city, after he had voluntarily placed himself in the hands of the county authorities and asked them to send him to the 3tate hospital for inebriates at Knoxville. He was in the last stages of excessive alcoholism, and after entering the local hospital he did not have a rational moment until his death. When in the Philippines, Austin was terribly wounded with bolos in the hands of natives, losing one of his ribs, having one arm and a leg crippled, and receiving a savage cut on the face which left a permanent scar.

The route of the cortege had been diverted from Arsenal street to Mayor street, owing' to the popular desires. The procession had just passed through Mayor street and was about to turn into the esplanade leading to the palace when an explosion shook the buildings In the vicinity, stunning a large number of people and throwing the cortege into inextricable confusion. The bomb, which was concealed in a bouquet, was of polished steel, half a centimeter thick. It was thrown from a third floor window. The house, according to some reports, belongs to the queen mother, having been bequeathed to her by a philanthropist and being the only house she own3 in Madrid.

n.miui MUCH AROUSED St Petersburg, June at the execution of the eight revolutionists at Riga on the heels of the interpellation of the government on the subject adopted by the lower house of parliament created a storm yesterday. After the reading of a message of congratulation from the president of the Argentine parliament, crouched in extremely cordial terms, which was received with much applause, the group of radical constitutional democrats supported by the workmen group urged the necessity of immediately framing a law to abolish the death penalty, In view of the government's refusal to cease The majority of the speeches were extremely revolutionary in tone and the moderate and constitutional democratic leaders had hard work in stemming the tide of radicalism which threatened to carry the house off its feet. M. Altadin, the peasant leader, now the 'Robespierre of the Russian parliament, urged the necessity for the instant adoption of a law abolishing the death penalty and proclaiming general amnesty as a supreme act of parliament without regard to the action of the upper house of the government or admitting the fact that parliament is impotent, all its powers having been usurped by the "owners of the Cossacks and machine guns." Father Poyarski, an orthodox priest of Voronezh, was Second only to M. Altadin in' violence of language.

He dictated'that if the was. hot -febdliUhed it would he the duty of parliaihent to 'retolve to cease its attempt to legislate, disband and go home. M. Nabuokoff, leader of the stltutlonal democrats Prof. KushinKaravleff of the Tver delegation and other moderates -pleaded with: thef house not to take such a defiant step.

While Warmly' insisting on the advisability of passing a law abolishing the death penalty they urgfed the pustom of: legislating in a legal fashion and not forcing a rupture, before the authority of parliament had beer established in the country. Steady pulling Is what moves the load while spasmoalie effort generally merely breaks the harness. LEADER DEAD. IRISH Blood Poisoning Sue to Operations oa Jaw Cause Demise of Michasl Davltt, Dublin. A notable career closed Wednesday night, when after a long and painful Illness, Michael Davltt died peacefully and painlessly at 12 o'clock, in the presence of his oldest son Michael, and his two daugh.

ters, who had devotedly attended him through his illness, and many ot his most intimate friends, including John Dillon. The greatest sympathy has been displayed by all classes of society during Mr. Davitfs illness. Wednesday the hospital was besieged by anxious inquirers. John B.

Redmond, leader of the Irish party in parliament, was a frequent inquirer by telephone from the house of commons and gave up his proposed continental trip over the Whitsuntide holidays owing to the condition of his friend, tbe father of the Irish Land league. After a rally Tuesday night, Mr. Davltt was able to speak to those at his bedside, but soon showed that he was losing ground. Mr. Davltt retired from tbe representation of South Mayo in parliament in 1899, but to the last took a keen interest In the politics of his country.

Death was due to blood poisoning, which followed two operations for necrosis of the jaw bone, and spread so rapidly that all efforts to stay its course were unavailing. Mr. Davitt's illness began with an insidious attack of toothache, to which he paid no attention until John Dillon urged him to have recourse to medical advice. For some time there were hopes for his recovery, but the state of his health which was undermined by exertions at the recent general elections, greatly handicapped his progress. DISLIKE INSPECTION BILL.

Enemies of the Measure Confer to Frame Substitute for the Beveridge Rider. Washington. The enemies of the Beveridge bill for inspection of the operations of meat-packing houses were very active on Wednesday. Most cf the day was spent in conferences, the purpose of which was to frame amendments to the Beveridge bill or peihaps a substitute for it that will meet the approval of the packers and rot Injure the business of the cattle raisers. Prominent in these conferences were Representative William Lorimer of Chicago, Chairman Wadsworth of the house committee on agriculture, and Representative Henry of Texas, representing cattle interests.

Just how far the negotiations among these gentlemen have progressed is not known, but It is stated that the proposition framed as a result of them will be submitted to the packers for their approval before its provisions are made public. If tbe packers approve the proposition the presumption is that the amendments or substitute will be pressed upon the house. What the effect of such action will be cannot be conjectured at this stage. It might cause the president to make good his threat to publish the confidential report of Messrs. Neill and Reynolds upon conditions existing in Chicago stockyards.

FIVE DEATHS DUE TO FLOOD Milldam Breaks, Sending Great Stream of Water Down the Canyon to Destroy Property. Reno, Nev. The most disastrous flood in Nevada in many years occurred Monday morning in Golconda, a small town about 200 miles from here. It was caused by the breaking of tbe large dam in Pole Creek canyon, three miles above the sheep-shearing corral of the Golconda Cattle company. JFive men were drowned and several are badly injured.

When the dam broke an immense volume of water poured down the canyon, carrying everything before it. When it struck the sheep-shearing coral there were a number of men at work, and all of these were carried away with tbe flood. Not a building or fence of the Golconda Cattle company was left standing. The track of the Southern Pacific railroad was undermined a mile west of the town, and all trains are eight to 12 hours late. The dead are: Three Mexican sheep shearers a Chinese cook, and one Indian boy.

All were employed by the Golconda Cattle company. Flood at Walla Walla. Walla Walla, damage is threatened by a Hood that Is sweeping through this city and over Ibe adjoining county.
