and found him dead. Governor Tan
ner had not been feeling well f. near

cold when hunting in Clay county, his
old home, few weeks ago. and from
that resulted n bad attack of rheumat-
ism, SO it is believed that rheumatism

And Her Iowa Neighbour Find Her Bright

Clarinda, Ia, May 25.-Mrs. Car
men Beware, the wife of Burt Ben
wale, of Villisca, is perhaps the only
Filipino woman in Iowa. She was
married to Benware in the Philippines
and accompanied him on his return to
his native state. She has an unusu-
ally bright intellect. and is a vivacious
and intelligent conversationalist. The
story of the courtship that preceded
the wedding Of Renware and Carmen
de Perfectos y la Azora would read
like a composite of Paul and Virginia
and one of Zola's novels.
Benware went to the Philippines as
private and has the reputation of
having been good soldier and brave
man. According to the story, he fell
in love, not with Carmen, but with her
sister, Sonora Chica Y Portuondo.
Chica, being married, failed to respond
to the affection of the American. and
his heart was captured on the rebound

1NsuLAR CASES DECIDED
Supreme CONT Renders Decision Against
the Government,

the Government.
Washington, May 27.-Justice
Brown of the United States supreme
court has announced the decision of
that court in the insulnr cases. The
announcement of the courts opinion
was begun nj 1921. The main opinion
was handed down in the Delima case.
Justice Brown first announced the
courts decision on point of jurisdic-
ton, holding that the court had juris-
diction. The Delima case involved
the importation of goods into the
United States from Porto Rico after
the ratification of the treaty of Paris
and before the passage of the Porto
Rican act.
Delima & Co., doing business in
New York, imported from San Juan,
2. R., during the months of June and
July, 1899, certain sugars, the product
of Porto Rico. Upon these sugars the
collector at New York demanded and
collected about $4,000 as custom dut-
collector, as an Individual, in the SUI
to recover back the duties paid,
III Slo,I1o,
that they were unlawfully demanded,
in violation of the constitution and
collected by duress, the collector exact
ing the payment of the duties as con-
dition to the delivery of the. sugars.
On the petition of the collector the
suit was removed to the circuit court
of the United States for the southern
district of New York which, sustained
a demurrer to the complaint both on
the ground that no cause for action
was stated and that the court had no
jurisdiction. From the Judgment dis
missing the complaint Delima & Co.
prosecuted error from this court.
Justice Brown said that whether the
sugars imported from or into Porto
Rico We're dutiable depends upon
whether Porto Rico is a foreign coun
try. He held that the right to &c
quire territory involves the right tt
govern and control it by congress, but
he said that country could not bt
both foreign and domestic.
The opinion opposed the contention
Of the government. He concluded tina
at the time the duties We're collected
Porto Rico was territory and not {
foreign country, but territory of thu

Morgan. visit to ;Lopbo,.

Paris, May 23.-The audience which
J. Pierpont Morgan had with Presi-
dent Loubet was quiet and unceremon-
Ious. 1t was prompted by the desire

WITH TERRIFIC FORCE
Two Heavily Loaded Electric Cars HIee

Two Heavily Loaded Electric Cars Meet
on snme Track.
Albany, May 27.-Two electric
street cars filed with chattering peo-
pie and rushing in opposite directions
upon the same track crashed into each
other and in an instant piled upon the
track pyramid of mangled dead and
living bodies. The mass, turbulent
with frantic men and women strug-
Cling to get free, was heaped with
splintered and bloody tons of car iron,
wood and tangled wires, which pin
Toned fainting women and children to
the ground.
The killed are: Maud Kellogg Of
Round Lake; David Mahoney, mate
on the Dean Richmond; Frank Mich
ols motorman; Annie Rooney Of
Stuyvesant Falls; Frank Smith, mo-
torman.. Fatally injured are: George
O. Barry, hurt internally; Fred j.
Smith, Albany, injured internally.
Twelve others were less seriously in
jured. The scene of the accident Ia
near Greenbush, on the line of the
Albany and Hudson railroad. At this
point the electric line runs over a
single track, which between switches
runs around sharp curve, the inner
side of which is shielded by dense
grove and the side, bending around
the verge Of a deep ravine.
South-bound car No. o. few mo-
ments behind time, was racing for the
switch south of the curve. North
bound car No. II, having already
passed the switch without meeting %
was racing with equal speed for the
next switch north of the curve. The
trains met at top flights in the apex
of the curve. Neither motorman had
an instants' warming. Both persisted
where they stood, battered and i'm
paled by the mighty impact Boil
cars were shattered to fragments
where they met. One hundred and for
ty persons were In them.

Nature ia Learning

nature is made by the Philadelphia
Record. San Francisco doctors regard
as freak Of nature q German lad, now
In that city, whose right eye is telescop-
ic, enabling him TO see the moons and
bands Of Jupiter, and whose left eye is
microscopic, rendering it possible for
him to detect the minute creatures that
inhabit drop of pond water. Nature
has done many things well, but she has
also made some blunders. She made
man with limited power of vision as
we'll as Of hearing, denying him view
of wonders which are both beautiful
and highly instructive, and shutting
his ears to the music of the spheres.
In the matter of human teeth her fail
ure has been tragic, while at middle age,
when head covering is needed to tpre-
vent neuralgia or catarrah, mans hair
Is little more than fading memory.
The ineficiency of the human stomach
is the chief support of an army of ply
sicisns, and the Inconsistency of mans
kidneys enriches the owners Of count
less mineral eprlngs. In the last stages
Of life, when men have mastered the
wisdom that should bring happiness
without q penalty, they find themselves
toothless and hairless, almost blind,
hard Of hearing and robbed of the
energy which led them into costly folly
In earlier years. Indeed, nature has
not done well with man.
But for mans own achievements his
career would be sadly restricted and
comparatively barren. Before he learn
ed of the natural lens of the eye he de-
signed the lens by which he is able to
penetrate the mysteries of the skies
and by which the invisible small OBJ
4 ject becomes gigantic. He invented
that great improvement on the retina,
the Photographic film, which not only
receives delicate impressions to which
the natural retina is insensible, but re-
tsins them permanently. The remark
able Gelmanflad with telescope and
microscopic vision is to be considered
not as q mere freak, but rather as an
evidence of the disposition of nature to
learn from man and to copy his i'm
provements.
1t is the basis of Mr.. Darwin's great
theory that when creature appears
with any new characteristic which
gives to 1t an advantage over its fellows
1t becomes better able to survive thar
they are, and that eventually the entire
species will be endowed with the i'm
proyement. From the single instance

Since the modern surgeon has demon

tial to human life, nature may yet cor
Z rect her blunder and abolish that source
of most Of our ills. When nature shall
fully enter into the work of producing
an improved humanity man may &C
quire teeth which will not decay, and
the hairs of his head may be clinched
under the scalp so that the blasts o.
many winters will not carry them away
and leave polished dome for flies tt

For the benefit of some OF th. good
pes.ple, who are comparatively new
corners In Manchester, it may not be
out Of place for US to say, that the pub.
fishers of the Democrat have probably
done as much and sacrificed as much,
for the enforcement of the laws against
the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors
in Delaware county, as any other two
men in the county. They believe that
the liquor laws are better observed and
better enforced in Delaware county,
than in any county in this part of the
state, and that their efforts have con-
tributed materially to this gratifying
result. At the same time they want 1t
distinctly understood that they do not
now, and never have favored prose
cution where the plaintiff came into
court, with other than clean hands, OF
asked for other than just and
righteous judgment.

If there is any doubt about the cor
rectness of Judge Blair's decision in
the Hruby case, the manly thing for the
prosecution to do is to take an appeal
to the Supreme court. The law pro-
vides for the trial of such case on its
merits in the Supreme court, and the
decision of the District court has no in.
tluence upon the result on appeal. The
unmanly way to proceed, is tn write
newspaper articles abusing the judge.
