I.L.HARTSON IS
PLEURISY VICTIM
POPULAR YOUNG MAN DIES
AFTER A BRIEF ILLNESS
WITH AFFECTED LUNGS.
The many friends of Ralph Leonard
Hartson and the Hartson family were
shocked to hear of the sudden death of
the popular young student at 7 o'clock
last night, at the family residence, 520
West Fourth street. Mr. Hartson was a
victim of pleurisy, with which I had
been suffering for only two weeks.
Early in the week, indications pointed
to his recovery, and at no time
was death thought to be so near.
The funeral services will be held at
the Hartson home Saturday morning at
10 o'clock. Rev
A
R. J. Locke, pastor of
the First Congregational church, of
which the deceased was a consistent
member, will conduct the services. In
terment will be made in the Ottumwa
cemetery.
The decedent was a native of Illi
nois, being born June 30. 1889. He had
lived in Ottumwa for the past nine
years. He was the younger son of Mr.
and Mrs. Dewitt Hartson, who with
their other son, Louis, survive. He
graduated with the class of 1907, from
the Ottumwa high school and has since
been attending Iowa college at Grin
nell, from which he would have grad
uated in June. He became ill about three
weeks ago, and came home just two
weeks ago yesterday. While a student
in the high school. Mr. Hartson was
favorite with all his classmates and
his acquaintances. He was a particu
larly 6tudious young man, yet he had
time for athletics to a certain degree
and belonged to the debating societies.
He was also a member of the graduat
ing class cast in "The Senator," por
traying the character of the old man.
His first year in Grinnell was suffi
cient for him to establish himself firm
ly in the high regard of his fellow stu
dents, and it was not long until his
worth as a student was recognized. He
was a member of the baritone section
of the Glee club, president of the Cres
tomathian Literary society, treasurer
of the college Y. M. C. A., and a mem
ber of the dramatic club. The esteem
in which Ralph Hartson was held by
his college friends has been attested
by the numerous letters received dally
from Grinnell, all expressing the hope
that his illness would be of brief dura
tion.

The Suburban Home Movement.
Iowa Falls. March 16.—A new move
towards establishing or providing su
burban homes in Iowa Falls has just
been put underway and seems to have
met with the heartiest approval by the
public. Several owners of farm prop
erty in the west part of the city and
just outside the city limits have agreed
to open up some of the property by
dividing it into little farms. These
small tracts will be sold in sizes vary
ing from one to five acres and prom

Her Name Always Edgerton.
Council Bluffs, March 16.—Nora Ed
gerton did not marry for the sole pur
pose of changing her name. She has
been married twice and her name has
remained the same throughout, this
from the fact that she has married
cousins of the same name as herself.
The unusual circumstance was brought
to lipht and attention when she was
united in marriage with Charles Ed
gerton of Disbury, Canada. The bride
lives in Hamburg, la. Her first mar
riage was with an Edgerton, a cousin
of the present husband, who died some
years ago.

bly, ate basket lunch on the graBs and
bad a general good time.
Eastiake park was divided into "99
counties" and the residents of cach
county registered names and addresses
at a "county seat." While the bands
played and the children romped
around on the grass the old folks sat
arcund and wondered how every one
back heme was feeling. They heard
all about the reason the population
declined in Iowa, as Eaton said be
cause Iowa has to furnish the brain
and brawn for other states.
Mayor Alexander, of Los Angeles,
a native of Iowa, was a guest of honor
and though he is almcst an octogenar
ian he had as good a time as the
freshest youngster in the park.

Owing to this being the last day for
filling cases that are to be heard in
district court during the March term,
no leeB than six petitions were re
corded with the clerk of court since
yesterday afternoon. The fact that
the March term opens on Monday,
March 27 or within ten days after the
filing of petitions closes, the attcrneys
have been busy for the past two days
in filing their various causes. This
is necessary in order to give the clerk
an opportunity to docket the cases and
get the dockets printed for the use of
the bar during the term.
Dig Coal Land Suit.
In the causes filed, two of them re
call cases that were heard during the
term just concluding, one cf which
was somewhat spectacular in the
amount involved and the time taken
to hear it. This was the Seevers
Cleveland Coal Co., suit involving sev
eral thousands of dollars and having
to do with purchase of coal lands
largely in Marlon county in what was
known as the Belinda-Dallas lands.

and that Shadel and M. F. Broadwell
did the 6ame. He states that the
broker through whom I. G. Furman
operated was the C. E. Butlman Co.,

nates as conducting a bucket shop
that, the Bultman house failed and the
plaintiff was thus made the loser of

The Fulton Notes.
An echo of the First National bank
Fulton case recently decided in favor
of the bank, is seen in the petition
filed by W. A. Fulton against the Iowa
Underwriters Agency Co. The suit
deals with the two notes that were in
volved in the former suits and in ad
dition to these is a dividend of ten per
cent granted on five shares of stock
owned by W. C. Miller who has as
signed his cause to the plaintiff.
P. L. Fulton has also assigned his
cause to W. A. Fulton and claims pos
session of five shares of stock in the
defendant company for which he n'evet
received a certificate. The plaintiff
states that he and P. L. Fulton gave
notes for $500 to the defendant for
five shares of stock on July 11. 1908,
and March 28, 1908, respectively and
that W. C. Miller owned five shares or
stock which was .shown on the records
of the defendant company January 10,
1910 when a dividend of ten per bent
amounting to $50 on his stock was de
clared, but which he claims was never
given him. The entire amount sought
is computed at $1,055.

BROADER FIELDS
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
CHANGES IN COLLEGE ENTRANCE
REQUIREMENTS GREATER
RANGE IN ELECTICS.
Des Moines, March 16.—The board
of education has not been slow to rec
ognize that the larger sphere of the
high school is to serve local heeds,
not to prepare for college and univer
sity. A bulletin now in the hands of
the stafe printer is about to be issued
by the board setting out the new uni
form standards of admission to the
three state educational institutions.
So liberal are these provisions that
any community able to maintain a high
school may offer its youth a sane, prac
tical education in subjects likely.to
prove of real value in the work-a-day
world, with the assurance that the
doors of the higher institutions will not
be closed to any who desire to enter.
Full credit is given to the traditional
courses in language, mathematics and
the like, but on equal footing are found
such subjects as agriculture, manual
training, domestic science, drawing,
stenography and commercial branches.
The bulletin will set out typical
courses of study modeled on this new
basis. In it will be found plans for
training rural teachers and many sug
gestions for increasing the efficiency
of the high schools. An important
feature of the bulletin is the plan for
accrediting high schools. The board
believes that the courses In the higher
institutions should be continuous with
those in the secondary schools. En
trance upon college work is, therefore,
made as simple as possible. The grad
uate of an accredited high school pre
sents a certificate signed by the prin
cipal, and. so far as his credits meet
the conditions of the course he wishes
to pursue, he is admitted without ex
amination.
In these new and liberal regulations,
adopted last fall, and now ready for
publication, the state board believes
the needs of the youth of Iowa will be
met in a fair and rational way. The
bulletin will be sent to every school in
the state as soon as it is released from
the press.

Doan's Kidney Pills, and I am glad to
say that the relief they brought me at
that time has been permanent. I take
pleasure in confirming my forme*
