The many friends of Thomas ICozial
were shocked to hear of his untimely
death which occurred last Monday on
the farm of his employer near Osceola.
He was diiving a nix horse team hitched
to a gang plow and it seema that while
he was trying to detach them from the
plow the horses became unmanageable
and he was caught in the machine and
was horribly mangled, lie only lived
about fifteen minutes after the accident
occurred. Thomas was a resilient of the
Island in Polk county where he has
many relatives. He was n young man of
about twenty-one years of age, and
highly esteemed by all who knew him.
He was buried at Duncan Wednesday
in the presence of a large number of
relatives and friends. Joseph I.iseo fur
nished us with this information as he
was an attendant at the funeral.

Novelist Kramer, the Chautauqua Lec
turer, Tells of Receiving In
teresting Letters.
"What do you find to he the most
universal idea with people who dis
cuss vour b-ioks with you?" was asked
of Harold .Morton Kramer, author of
The Chrysalis." "The Castle of
Dawn." "Hearts and the Cross." etc.
"Of course the question does not mean
as to the opinions they express regard
ing vour novels."
"I think I understand you." replied
the novelist, "and I feel perfectly safe
in saying at once that the most uni
versal idea they express is that they
have themes for great novels, and they
are willing to suggest them to inc.
They generally express it about like
this:
" Well. sir. I can relate to you some
incidents that undoubtedly would
make a great book if they were put to
gether just right.' Then I am given
some little story, probably or undoubt
ed interest in its way. but lacking
much of being a theme for a novel.
They always conclude by saying: 'Of,
course, you could work in a love story
with it." and :i Tew things like that,
but that would he easy, and lots of
people would remember and recog
nize these incidents. It ought to be a
great book. If you care to use it. I'll
give you all of the pointers sonic

'Hut I have had some embarrassing
questions put to me. For instance.
only recently I was asked to make a
statement for a prominent literary
club of ladies as to whether I wrote
for fame or money I mean as my pri

easy, but consider how you would an

other friend asked me if I ever re
ceived any especially interesting let
ters. I told her I did. and she want
ed to know from whom.
"Well. 1 think the most interesting
letters come from my publishers." I
said.
"Ms that so? And would you mind
telling me some of the most interest
ing things they say?' she asked.
"The most interesting words they
over write me are these: 'Enclosed
find check in payment of royalty.'" I
replied, and she turned up her nose
and became chilly at mice.
"I'.ut. really. I think the most inter

AH Through Trains tqbe Electric
Lighted.
In the history of American railroading
no such extensive and costly improve
ment of coach lighting has ever been
attempted up to this time as that which
will be made effective by the Burlington
Route the first of Jane.
On that date all of its through trains
will be electric lighted from locomotive
headlight to observation platform The
most efficient electric lighting system
yet devised has been adopted, namely,
the dynamo system. With this system
there is installed in the baggage car of
each train a high power dynmnn which
snpplies the current for the entire train.
Ordinarily, when the dynomo car is de
tached, there is a distinct dimming of
the lights, but under the dynamo system
not only is enough current generated to
light the train when it is in motion or
standing still, but enough surplus cur
rent is stored in each individual car to
brilliantly light it for several hours with
out any direct current from the dynamo.
This in itself is a big improvement over
other systems of enr lighting.
To inaugurate this service it has be en
nacessary to entirely re-equip, electrical
ly, 72 complete trains, for the Isling
ton's through trains not only reach nil
the cities of the Middle West. but. also
the Pacific Coast. In addition, prac
cnlly the entire passenger equipment of
the railroad, including locomotives, bag
gage cars, mail cars, coaches, chair cars,
dining cars, sleeping cars and observa
tion cars also bad tolwentirely re-equipped
for electric lighting, and at very
large expense.
Another very important feature and
one not found on any other railroad is
ttie exclusive train electrician, which
ench one of then electrically lighted
through trains carries. The train olect
rician is an electrical oxpert who travels
with the train from start to destination
and whose duly it is to see that the elec
tric lighting system is kept in perfect
working operation all the time. It is al
so his duty to look after tho proper
ventilation of the train and to see that
it is properly heated that it does not
become too cold by night or too warm
by day
The Burlington is also the only rail
road in the country which has a com
pletely electric lighted Suburban pas
senger train service of any pize, all of
its snliurban trains, of which there are
fit) odd. Iieing dynamo electric lighted.
With this great improvement, the
Burlincton Rente, which already is un
excelled in its equipment, dining car
service, regularity with which its train
run "on time," and complete block sig
nal equipment will have passenger ser
vice as nearly perfect in nil details as ii
is possible to make it.

While fishing in the Platte about seven
miles west of town yesterday afternoon
Jack McMahon, son of John McMahon,
came upon the body of a man. The
corpse was lodged under some bushes
near the bank and from its location hnd
evidently been in the one position for
some tune. From its position it could
not be seen from the bank anil it was
only by chance that Mr. McMahon dis
covered it. The body was badly decom
posed. Coroner Frank Ivomhrink was
immediately notified and he went out
and got the corpse, bringing it to his
undertaking rooms where it is lying as
we go to press. The body is in such a
condition that it is impossible to distin
guish the features of the face or make
much of an examination. The top part
of the head, however, is intact and a
large bullet hole that enters at the right
temple and emerges at a point under the
left ear indicates that the man has either
been the victim of foul play or has com
mitted suicide. There is no doubt on
the part of those who have examined the
body that the wound was made by a bul
let and it was evidently the work of a
large calibre revolver. The man s clothes
arc those of a laborer. He wore a fairly
good suit and hnd on n pair of new Sun

bert. I was absent from home and
had asked .Mrs. Kramer to open my
mail while I was gone in order that I
might he communicated with immedi
ately if necessary. When I returned
I found a letter awaiting me from a
young lady who signed herself 'Alice
Gilbert.' aiid who wrote as though she
were a very close friend of mine. In
the letter she discussed the story in
question and wrote as though the
F.ory had been woven from incidents
in real life in which she and I had
figured. I had spent a few years in
the west, ami Mrs. Kramer was won
dering why I should he thus idealiz
ing one of my old Haines. It was a
difficult matter to explain, although I
had never heard of the lady in ques
tion, and until I received her letter
did not dream that an Alice Gilbert
really existed. Afterwards I learned
by a little investigation that 1 could
not resist making and in which Mrs.
Kramer joined me that the real Alice
Gilbert was a most estimable young
lady, a school teacher in the Ohio
city from which her letter had been
written. When my next book was
ready for publication I mailed her one
of the publishers' announcements with
the suggestion that as she had been so
interested in the short story, she
might be interested in the book. This
brought a letter in which she begged
forgiveuess for her impulsive prank
that prompted the first letter, and
which was written in her surprise at
finding the heroine's name to be the
same as hers. Yes. I think, all things
considered, that that was the most in
teresting letter I ever received as a
result of my story writing."

Burton Thatcher, who will deliver a
lecture-recital at Chautauqua, is one
of the rising baritone singers of the
age. His musical training has been
received at great cost and much at
tention has been given to "folk songs"
as well as the classics. He is a
musician by temperament and in
Ptlnct: added to his mentality he has
a wonderful voice and an admirable
physique.
After referring most flatteringly to
Burton Thatcher's work in his recital
if the evening before, the Salt Lake
Tribune adds: "His performance
throughout was very creditable, show
ing conscientious work, and his rendi
tion of 'Song of Hybrias and 'King
Duncan's Daughters' is deserving of
suecial mention."
