LOCATE IOWA METEOR
LONG LOST ROCK FINALLY j
FOUND IN VIENNA.
! I

Been Sought by George Ba r ber j
for Years Brougr.t H.gn

j Esterville. la.—After a la;- ay of 'L .
■ year.?, the famous liarber meteor, I
for which George liarber of this j ln»—. |
had searched for years. ha- b-eo |
found in a Vienna museum, care!u.. j
labeled that all visitors may know (

( f-11 Bear Esterville in J • 1875
Fearing the Barber brother- who
dug up the great meteor, would be
I sbie to recover the largest i :ece of
the precious rock. it was quickly |
i j assed from one person to another.
'as soon as it was shipped ea.-t. until j
[its whereabouts soon became a mat-I
j ter of mystery.
I Inspired with a desire to secure the
meteor for the hwa Historical .* » |
!dety or for the state university, many I
have attempted to locate the missin" I
i rock, but search for it has been frur
le.ss. George Barber has followed thu
niet€*or almost around the world, and
lowans have searched the museums
of England and of Rome, expecting to
see it among the spoils of time, but
it has been left to Thomas U Wallace. :
!a former lowan, to discover the rock
which put Esterville on the map in |
one of the great museums of Vienna.
Thomas R. Wallace, who has noti- i
fled George Barber of finding the me-j
teor in Vienna, is one of the-men who
, saw it fall, on the (arm of the Seven:
il.ee farm, two miles north of here,!
about one o'clock in the afternoon !
I of June 28, 1 >*7Charles and George
'Barber dug it out of the ground some ;
[1 4 feet deep The largest piece, which
(is now in Vienna, weighed 1!2 pounds.
. The smaller pieces weighed together
j 400 pounds, making a total weight of
5J2 pounds. i
j At the time of the great phoneme- j
; non the land on w hich the rock fell
| had been sold to a Mr I,ee. and only
| a small amount paid down The Bar ;
her boys were given permission by j
'him to dig out the meteor, but the'
| former owners brought suit against
I the Barbers and the Emmet county I
clerk refused to accept signers to a
: J7OO bond offered by the Barber boys
under replevin, proceedings, after the!
land owners had secured possession
of the rock.
While the boys were trying to re- !
pain possession of the meteor, the par 1
lies loaded it into a wagon and hauled
it overland to Keokuk, where it was
sold to eastern parties, and resold to
other parti*--i for $.-.5,000. It was sold
a year or two later to an English com i
pany for SIOO,OOO. Small pieces
which the Barber boys secured have
been sold f- r SSOO each, but lowans
have always wanted to secure posses- '
sion of the big pier#- which now rests
among the marble and bronze statues!
of Vienna.
Within a short time the scientific j
world learned of the meteor. The,
Barber brothers were offered $50,000
for the big piece, and, believing that j
it could be secured, efforts have been '
made from time to time to get it back I
on Hawkeye soil. The Barbers lost I

INVENTS STUDYING MACHINE.
Northwestern University Student !
Finds Solution in Phonograph.
Ch'c?go. Edward Jacobson. a j
S mivi - • . student, has j
invL-ntol a studying machine which
: * orU a!H.':-h*'s the ravages on the
'■ dv caused by all night sessions,
h towel-encircled brows, over
.s cl small print, but also saves,
bo says, the eyes and the mind.
Young Jacobson's device is of a
phonographic nature, for which he hat
prepared records on which are con
centraP?d the essential points of the
entire courses. He unstraps his case
of record-!, selects Course No. 1. turns
ou: the light, lays himself down on
bed or Couch, and, pulling a cord
which ia attached to the machine, pre
pares himself to absorb learning by
the roll.
The machine is provided with an at
tachment on the order of the works of
an eight-bay clock, which will run an
indefinite period, far longer than any
listener v. ill survive. Even if the
student d'op3 asleep, the constant
and monotonous repetition of the rec
ord the effect of impressing itself
on the seemingly dormant brain, for in
the rnornii g the student has the
course at his tongue's end and goes
to his examination, in campus vernac
ular. prepared “to knock the profes
aor’s eye out.”
Intricate formulas of calculus, in
volved problems of algebra and ge
ometry taught to men who think of
taking up engineering and other deep
forms of mp‘hematical lore can all be
caught by *he machine without skip
or miss, an* formations so formidable
that the eye will not grasp them be
come easy t* the comprehension when
drummed into the brain through the
ear by repeating the record.
The Impo’tanee of the invention is
such from t>e student standpoint that
“canned” lessons promise to become
common on the Evanston campus.

ONE DAY BEHIND SCHEDULE.
Boston Business Man Wanted to Take
Time to Catch Up.
Several years ago. when the Univer
sity of Chicago held its decennial
celebration, John I* Rockefeller was
its guest for several days. A bewild
ering succession of functions foil*»wed
cne another in such quick succession
that each affair was from one to four
hours late.
At the great banquet on the closing
day. Mr Rockefeller, in his after
dinner speech, told the following
story:
"I have felt for the past 24 hours
like the Boston business man who
lived in the suburbs and came in to i
his office every day. One winter after- !
noon he took the train for his home. |
but a terrific snowstorm was racing,
and about half way to his suburb the ,
train was snowed in. All night the
passengers were imprisoned, but early !
in the morning they managed to r*-ach
a near-by telegraph station, and the
Boston man sent the following dis
patch to his office:
" ‘Will not be in the office to-day.

NO RELIEF FROM ECZEMA
For Over Two Years—Patent Medi
cines. Quack Cures, and Doctors
Fail—Cuticura Succeeds.
"I was very badly afflicted with ec
zema for more than two years. The
parts affected were my limbs below
the knees. 1 tried all the physicians !
in the town and some in the surround
ing towns, and I also tried all the pat
ent remedies that I heard of, besides
all the cures advised by old women
and quacks, and found no relief what
ever until I commenced using the Cu
ticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Resolvent. In the Cuticura
Remedies I found immediate relief,
and was soon sound and well. C. V.
Beltz, Tippecanoe, Ind , Nov. 15,’05." ,
Saved by a Song.
A boy was amusing himself by
watching the birds that were flying
around him At length a beautiful !
bobolink perched on a rough bough of
an apple tree near by.
The boy picked up a stone, and got I
ready to throw it ai the bird. The
bird’s throat swelled, and forth came
the song ' A-link, a Link, a-link. bobo I
ling, bobolink, a-no-sweet, a no-sweet, :
I know it, I know it. a-link. a-link;
don't throw it, throw it. throw it."
And the boy did not throw the
stone, but dropped it on the ground.
Why didn't you stone him. my
boy? You might have killed him and
carried him home ”
The little fellow looked up and re- '
plied. Couldn't 'cos be sang so." — j
Puck.
Henry Clay and Lew Wallace.
"Mr Clay was of a personality once
seen never to be forgotten. Tall, j
slender, graceful, he had besides the
air majestic which kings affect, im- ;
agining it exclusive property.
“Throughout Mr. Clay's performance
my eyes scarcely left his countenance, j
which, as he proceeded, sank from
sight until, by the familiar optical
illusions, nothing of it remained but ;
the mouth, and that kept enlarging
and widening until it seemed an elas- |
tic link holding the ears together. I
Indeed, at this late writing, my one i
distinct recollection of the man and
his speech is the mouth and its capac- i
ity for infinite distension ” — Autoblog* j
rapby of Lew Wallace.
GUIDES CHILDREN.
Experience and a Mother's Love Make j
Advice Valuable.
An Ills, mother writes about feeding
children:
"If mothers would use Grape-Nuts 1
more for their little ones, there would
be less need for medicines and fewer
doctor bills.
"If those suffering from Indigestion !
and stomach troubles would live on
Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk for a
short period they would experience
more than they otherwise would be
lieve.
"Our children have all learned to '
know the benefit of Grape-Nuts as an '
appetizing, strengthening food. It Is
every evening, with few variations,
like this: ‘Mamma, let’s have toast and
Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or. let’s have
eggs and Grape-Nuts'—never forget
ting the latter.
"One of our boys In school and 15
years of age repeatedly tells me his
mind is so much brighter after having
Grape-Nuts as a part if not all his ,
breakfast.” Name gi’ en by Postum

English Tongue-Twisters.
The English language has its own
peculiar terrors. Who would not pity
the foreigner attempting to under
stand such sentences as "It was put
in case in case it should rain." 'The
first one won one sovereign.” “I will
come by and by and buy a bicycle?"
And how could you expect a German
to get at the real meaning of the
metaphors in the following sentence —
“Being unhorsed he dogged h.s man
and Boon had him cowed’”
THREE EPOCHS IN
A WOMAN’S LIFE
MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS
There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood.
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround eac-h of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through ill health dates
from one or another oi these im
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
C. Pinkham’s Vegetable Cempound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more suc
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn,
111. writes t
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“I foel it inf duty to tell you of the good
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
has done me in preparing for childbirth.
After suffering and losing my children a
friend advised me to try your valuable me
dicine. and the result was that I had very
little inconvenience, a quick recovery and
During its long record of more than thirty years its long list of
actual cures, entitles Lydia E. Pinkham’s _ Vegetable Compound to
the respect and confidence of every fair minded person.
