r

that time. His wonderful vitality
pulled him through, and after a trip
west he returned to his practice of
medicine in the city. His uHttTisg
devotion to his profession is at the
foundation of bis illness and death. :
He had a large practice among the
mining camps about the city, and in
addition to this he was county physi-
clan for the southern part of the
county. He was a man of great en-
ergy and constant action and he had
been days at a time without rest or
sleep in caring for his practice. He
was always busy and denied himself
the peace and rest that a neces-
sary to the great work that he did.
The deceased was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. L. j. Parry, of South oska-
loosa, and he camel to Oskaloosa from
Monroe county. He was five years at
Carbonate and he has been four years
in this city. He leaves a wife and one
child to mourn his death. Theyhave
the sincerest sympathy of a large
number of friends in all parts of the
county. He was a member of the
Woodmen, Foresters and Red Men
lodges.
The funeral occurred at 3 O'Clock
Monday afternoon from the Central
e. church. The casket was
open from 10 to 1870 at the house.

evening, and the occasion was a very
pleasant and enjoyable affair. and a
profitable one in a financial way.
Rev. August Sandeen ,of:Munterville,
acted as auctioneer and he had a
way of getting bids raised that most
surely puts him in the front row as

held, and on Sunday dedication SER

NEED FOR THE PARCELS POST.

LFrom the Syracuse Post-Standard.l
With the extension of the system of
rural free delivery of mails comes the
demand for domestic parcels post serv-
ice. The system Of collection and dis
tribution of mail matter in this country
is remarkably efficient and satisfactory.
Free rural delivery. which was under
taken only after much discussion. has
by the wise management of the present
administration become an almost indis-
pensable feature of the mail Service.
The increasing demand for this service
and the fact that it can be rendered al
most self sustaining prove its success.
But still the American postal service
is deficient in a branch which has been
found useful in European countries-the
parcels post The extent of American
railroad service and the many private
means for delivering small parcels have
undoubtedly made the needs of the par
cells post less apparent in the United
States than in Europe. But now there
IS a decided want in this direction
which. we believe. can be best satisfied
through the government.
In the handling of mails three facts
have become plain, namely: The gov
eminent can perform the service with
out waste of time. without unnecessary
expense and with small liability of loss.
The parcels post service has developed
in other countries according to the de-
Velopment of the mail service If it
were introduced in this country, there
is little reason to doubt that it would
attain efficiency equal to that of our
mail service.
The advantages are many. Between
the merchant and his customers the
benefits are mutual. With a competent

AGAINST BIDDLE.
RumOr Of Charges Filed by Dis
charged Attendant.

There was a. rumor at the state house
today to the effect that charges had been
filed with the state board of charities
against DR.. T. c. Biddle, the superintend-
ent, by a discharged attendant.
The members of the board this after
noon denied that charges have been filed
against the superintendent and say the
rumor is positively without founda ton.
It was reported that J. C. Woley, of
Coffey county, was connected with the
filing of the charges, but he denies hav-
ing such a move in mind Mr.. Wolley
was an attendant at the asylum until a
few days ago when he resigned.
It is rule at the asylum that when a
patient escapes from an attendant on the
lawn the expense of the capture is
charged to the attendant. The expense
incident to the capture and return of the
patient, which escaped when in Mr.. VOL
ley's charge was assessed against him.
Wolley declined to sign the pay roll with
the reduction from his salary. He was
given the alternative of signing or re-
signing. He took the latter.

parcels post dealers would have wider
patronage, producers would have q
larger market and consumers would
have the privilege of selecting from q
greater variety.
Merchants are already beginning to
sell by samples sent through the mails.
A few larger houses transact business
almost exclusively in this way and
many others make good profits on mail
orders. But the business is hampered
because Of the service being limited to
small packages and high rates.
Between England and some of her
colonies parcels posts have been estab-
lished and have proved to be of great
benefit. British manufacturers can send
samples to the colonies SO much cheap
er and quicker than they can be sent
from this country that it is almost
hopeless for Americans to attempt to
compete in this direction.
The parcels post, both domestic and
foreign, is apparently the next great
advance in our service. and the quicker
it is undertaken the better

LARGEST EYER Known.
Attendance at West Virginia Demo-
cratic State Convention.

Par1ersburg, w. va, June e.-The
Democratic state convention met here
today with the largest attendance ever
known at political gathering in this
state. This was due more to the in
terest in the United States senatorship,
state ticket and the legislature than
to the presidential election The con-
Vent1on was also a reunion Of factions
that have not been in harmony for
some years, and for that reason it is
said the silver question will not be
touched upon. Andrew J. Edminston,
of Weston, chairman of the state COM
mittee, called the convention to order
in brief speech. Former Senator
Henry G. Davis was then introduced
as temporary chairman.
Chairman Davis in his opening speech
made plea for harmony and the avoid
ance of extreme or radical declarations
on which there might be serious diff
ferences of opinion. AS Senator Davis
has been in conference with the plat
form makers it is believed the resolu-
tons viii be limited to state and local
issues and the PRONUNCIATION of ma
tional pledges and preferences will be
left to the Kansas CITY convention
without reference to the Chicago plat
form. Senator Davis eulogized Bryan,

REPLY TO CLARK
Made in Report Submitted by sena-
tor Chandler.

Washington, June 5.-Senator Chand-
Ter from the committee on priv
neges and elections today pre-
sented a supplemental report on the
case of Senator Clark of Montana, re-
plying to the structures upon the COM
mittee made by Senator Clark in his
speech and also to the minority report
in the case made by Senators Harris
and Pettus. With reference to Mr..
Clark's statements the committee says:
The distinct criticisms made by Mr..
Clark on. May Is, Of the report of the
committee are not serious in their char
acter and it is fortunate that they were
made because they may be taken as
being all the criticisms which the party
most at interest can claim can justly
be made. The correctness of all other
statements made by the committee not
criticised by Senator Clark may be TAX
en- to be admitted by him. The report
then takes up and replies seriatum to
MIR Clark's criticisms, the charges be
ing either denied or reasons given.
Replying to the charge of unjudicial
methods of proceeding, the committee
asserts that these were only resorted to
todiscover additional testimony and that
the statements thus admitted were not
permitted to influence the result.
THE methods Of the committee were
in no sense unfair" says the report.
'kut were such as ordinarily prevail
in investigations like this The pre-
sumption of innocence was at no time
disregarded and the findings favorable
to Mr.. Clark were made as court or
jury would have made them upon full
and fair consideration of all the facts
in the case
The committee stands by its original
position that Mr.. Clark was from the
beginning Of the campaign a candi
date for the senate, and says that
nothing since the hearing closed has
tended to impair the facts stated con-
corning Senator Clarks own personal
connection with the course of his can
Vass for election as SENATOR"
Senator Chandler, as chairman of the
committee, adds a memorandum of his
own in refutation of the statement of
the minority that the chairman left
the committee little to do"
This criticism, he says, is unjust and
he adds: THE chairman did nothing ex-
cept what such an officer is expected to
| do. Every important ruling was made
! either by division of the committee or Dy
| the chairman in the first instance after an
order of the committee was made pre-
scribing that course of proceeding with
the understanding that any member OF
| the committee might dissent on any point
| and have it decided by the vote of the
! committee" He also asserts that so far
as Senator Clark was concerned, there
| was no refusal to summon any witness
| whom his counsel insisted upon obtain
| ing.
