THE GUITEAU AUTOPSY.

The physicians who performed the
autopsy on the body of Charles J.
Guiteau at Washington, Friday after
noon, were Drs. d. I. Lamb, J. S.
Hartigan and L. t. Sauers. A few
medical men were present and an
Associated Press reporter. After
the examination of the ewes, the
brain was removed and inspected.
Then thorough and complete ex-
animation of the body was made with
the view of determining all the ply
Biological facts that could be of in
terest in connection with the case.
The brain was found to be in a nor
NAL condition and weighed 40 ounces.
The heart weighed little over nine
ounces and was in healthy condi-
ton, as were all the other internal
organs. The brain was photograph
ed from various points of view
with more or less successful results.
The anatomical examination of the
brain was then begun and may last
several days. The lungs and heart
were in normal condition, but there
was a slight ruffling of the aorta in
the vicinity of the heart. The neck
was not dislocated or fractured, but

there was rupture of the sterno
cleido nastoid muscle on both sides,
as well as of the thyro hyoid menu
brane. 1t follows, therefore, that
death resulted from suffocation, and
not from dislocation of the spinal
vertebre. The spleen was found to
be considerably enlarged, its weight
being 10 ounces, OF moro than twice
that of the normal spleen. The 9TH
er abdominal organs, so far as they
were examined, presented no unusu-
al features. The official report of
the autopsy will probably not be
ready for publication before next
Wednesday.

TEMPERANCE VICTORY.

The complete success of the friends
of temperance, in the state of Iowa,
will be hailed with satisfaction by
the lovers of good order throughout
the country. The majority in favor
of the amendment to the constitution.
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors as beverage, is so large,
over %, 900, that it shows the peo-
pie thoroughly aroused and enlight-
ened as to the evils arising from in
temperance, for which there is no
remedy so long as the law of the land
permits and encourages the supply.
Of the right of the state to protect
itself from the crime, pauperism and
misery caused by an evil which it
can remove, there is no manner of
doubt.
The amendment adopted by the
state of Iowa is in these words:
"No person shall manufacture for
sale, or sell or keep for sale as a
beverage, any Intoxicating liquors
whatever, including ale, wine and
beer. The General Assembly shall
by law prescribe regulations for the
enforcement of the prohibition here
in contained, and shall hereby pro-
vide suitable penalties for the viola
ton of the provisions thereof.
The Tribune says: "There has
been no partisanship IN it's advocacy
during the past few months in which
it has been before the people, leading
newspapers of both political parties
cordially advocating its adoption.
The majority comes almost entirely
from the rural portion of The state.
In every state the masses of the peo-
pie, out side of the cities, are in IA
vor of a peaceful Sunday, and
against the unlimited flow of intox-
icating liquor: and on a direct issue
they can be depended upon TO roll
up a sure majority
The Herald says: "The political
contest which has just closed in Iowa
shows that the temperance party in
that State are in the majority, and
that in future the banner state of
the republican party in the West
means that 'srum mills" shall take a
back seat and shall not control it's
politics. In the eastern cities the
''gin mills are all but supreme.
They in great measure nominate
and elect the congressman who 90 to
Washington and the aldermen who
control our great municipal interests.
The spirit and courage of the repub-
lican party of Iowa in endeavoring
to emancipate itself from the baleful
control of this class cannot be too
highly praised. 1t may be that, as
in the case of Maine, the party is
making mistake: that prohibition
is plant whose shade kills every
thing, good, bad, and Indifferent, be-
meath it; but at the same time it
must be admitted that the restric-
tons it imposes are in the interest of
good government.
The latset official returns from the
ninty-nine counties give the amend
ment an aggregate of 50,714, with
1917 negative votes, leaving a net
majority in its favor of %, 9O7.

The liberal party in North Caro-
lima is rapidly recruiting it's ranks
from the Bourbons, and men of
standing characters who have never
voted but the democratic ticket are
disguised with the reckless manage
ment of their party and declare that
they have voted for the last time
with men who have no regard to the
rights of the masses. The Bourbons
overshot the mark in passing a law
taking from the people the power to
choose their county officers, so that
the offices might be better manipulate
ed from the democratic headquarters
This has stirred up thousands of SEN
sible men who see that they are in
the hands of an oligarchy and their
only escape is by joining the liberals.
The result promises to be a thorough
squelching of the Bourbon elements
in North Carolina, which state will
soon join Virginia in demanding a
free vote and equal rights for all.

EXECUTION OF GUITEAU.

During the last two days of his
life many scenes occurred between
him and visitors, and sometimes the
officers of the prison very similar to
those during his trial. If anything
occurred which displeased him, he
would pour out his anathemas. An
officer and guard of the prison leav-
ing him for a few moments, locked
his cell door, according to the rules
of the prison. This happened to be
at moment when Mrs. Scoville was
waiting for an interview with him,
and thereupon he hurled his anathe-
mas on various officers of the prison,
including those who acted for the
government and president. DR..
Hicks, his spiritual adviser, finally
quoted him, while the prison officials
partially explained the circumstance.
AT times Guiteau betrayed his feel
ings over his situation but his 'gen-
eral cussedness" stood by him to the
last, even despite the efforts of Rev.
DIR. Hicks to tone down or omit some
of his anathemas, especially those he
put into his ''prayer' on the gallows.
At 1926 the death procession pass
ed through the long passage to the
gallows. Guiteau walked with much
firmness but it was plainly an effort.
He looked about, and as one report
er has it, appeared to be the proud
est person present, which doubtless
arose from his great conceit and de-
sire for notoriety.

We think we can safely say that there
;s no investment Of capital in the South

mills. The uses to which cotton seed are
applied are now so few that the whole
business may be said to be in its infancy.
Hardly day passes that the discoveries
Of chemistry are not finding for it some
new field of utility, while in the mechaD-
ic arts, its uses are daily multiplying.

only as to purity, cleanliness and health,
but as one better adapted to our tastes in
