Drunkenness has been investigated
by Professor Verga, of Milan. Ac-
cording to him, men or women given
20 intoxication are, strange to say, sell
dom given to kleptomania or suicide,
A woman is less apt to take tc liquor
than a man, but when she does she can
hardly be reclaimed. She becomes
shameless and abominable, but seldom
dangerous. Cold weather seems TO
cause men to take to strong drink and
mild weather has the same influence
upon women.

Death OF Ex-senator Dodge.

In the death of Hon. Augustus Q. Dodge,
at Burlington, the state Of Iowa has lost her
earliest political pioneer. He was born in
st. Geneviove, No. in 1879, and in his young
manhood removed to Iowa. He was made
register of the land Office at Burlington in
1888, and relinquished it to become the terri
torial delegate to congress in 1871. He was
active in the formation of tho territorial con-
stitution, aud labored assiduously and effect
lively to secure the admission Of his CON
stituency into the sisterhood of states. lie

to tho United States senate taking his seat in
that body in 1913, and there remaining until
1855, when he was appointed minister to Spain
by President Pierce, which Office he resigned
and retired to private life. The impress of
his personality was made upon the laws of
his state and nation, for he was diligent and
faithful public servant. He possessed tho
confidence of tho people and the friendship of
all with whom he came into personal rela-
tions His death will bo generally regretted
and his name will be held in remembrance by
a wide circle of friends.

It was very wrong of Sims to irritato tho

Frank Hatton is just now having little
unpleasantness through his paper, the Washing

charges the Press men with defrauding the gov
crnment out of SS00,0O0 by means of fraudulent
weighing of the mails. Frank Hatton is noted for
his personal and political honesty, and the Press
men will be liable to have a lively time in at
tempting to bulldoze Hatton. He has the grit to
stay with such chaps, as evinced by his splendid
career on the Burlington Hdicseye. Our advice to
