After sickness you have but little

try and read by the hour expecting
the eyes to work just as hard as when
you are strong and well. 1t is the
practice of forcing the eyes TO do more

KRUGER HOLDS A BOMB
Favors Issuance of Letters of Marcue
But DELAYS Positive Action.

The Hague, Aug. 90, via New York,
Aug. 31.--President Kruger recently
came within an ace of bringing on a
most sensational and hazardous in
ternational scare. lie wanted to is
sue a proclamation announcing that
the Transvaal was ready to issue let
tiers of marque to all who wished to
fit out privateers to prey upon British
shipping.
This proposal has been under con-
sideration for some time among the
men who form MT. nrugers entour-
age here-Messrs. Fischer, Wolmar-
ans end Vessels, the former commits
sioners to America, and DR.. Leyds.
Two factions appeared among them,
one for the proclamation and the 9TH
er against it. After the matter had
been discussed for some time Presi-
dent Kruger, az he is still called by
his lieutenants and his other admir-
ers, decided in favor of action. He
was ready to give the device trial
and see what came of it.
But Immediately two other factors
entered the situation. One of these
was the British government and the
other the government of her most
gracious majesty, the queen of the
Netherlands.
The result of their interference was
that President Kruger did not issue
his manifesto. Instead of inviting all
the world to go forth destroying Brit
ish merchant ships, he announced,
through DR.. Leyds' personal organ eft
Brussels, lie Petit Bleu, that he would
withhold the proclamation for the
present, hut intended to issue it in
case Lord Kitchener should carry ont
his threats to shoot all Beers as
highwaymen after September IS.
There the matter rests.

THE NEWS In IOWA

Demurrer Filed by State In Mandamus
Case Is Overruied.
Des Moines, Aug. 29.-Judge S. +.
Prouty has overruled the demurrer of
Milton Remley, on behalf of the state
board of medical examiners, to the
petition of c. l.. Parsons, of Eagle
Grove, for writ of mandamus COM
polling the board to issue him a certi-
ficate to practice osteopathy in Iowa,
under the osteopathic state law.
This is a great victory for the 5. 5.
still LOnege of 0steopathy, of Des
Moines. 1t compels the state to just
ify and defend it's refusal to grant
these certificates. Its demurrer to
Parsons petition set up two reasons.
One was the alleged unconstitution-
atty of the osteopathic law; the
other was the claim that the board
of medical examiners is the sole ar
bitter of the administration of the
law. The court overruled the motion
based on these grounds. and it is
doubtful If the board, in view of that
adverse ruling, will carry the case
farther or even appeal from Judge
Prouty's decision.
Practically, therefore, the petition
will give the graduates of s. S. Still
College right to the state certi-
Gates. 1t is true that they can al
ready lawfully practice osteopathy IN
Iowa. Now they will come under
state sanction and administration.

KILLED AND CREMATEp.
Forty-one Victims In Great North.
ern Wreck.

st. Paul, Sept. "A special from
Kalispell, Mont, says:
The wreck at Nyack was the worst
in the history of the Great Northern.
Forty-one deaths have been reported
up to the present time. Five dead
were brought to Kalispell with eigh-
teen wounded and seriously hurt, one
of whom has since died. OF forty
three in the day coach ON the rear of
the train, only thirteen wounded were
saved and only five dead were taken
out of the burning ruins, the remain
der being completely consumed. The
scenes at the catastrophe were heart
rending in the extreme, there being
many poor creatures pinned in among
the wreckage whom the passengers
and trainmen were doing all in their
power to extricate from their per-
ilous position. The wreckage had
taken fire Immediately after the col
lision end it was with great difficulty
that the few saved were taken from
the ruins. Several men were loudly
calling for help, begging that if they
could not be gotten out they be killed
rather than suffer death by fire.
People were compelled by the in
tense heat to stand aside and see the
victims burned alive, powerless 10
lend aid.
Ten cars of shingles were upon the
rear of the freight that caused the
wreck. and as soon as it struck the
standing passenger train the cars
burst and the shingles were thrown
in all directions over the wrecked
passenger cars. In almost an instant
the whole was a mass of flames and
the work of rescue was rendered dam
gerous.
Assistant General Superintendent
Downs, whose headquarters We're at
Spokane, was in his private car just
ahead of the day coach, but in the
rear of the sleeper. He was at sup
per when the cars struck and it is the
general opinion that he, together
with his young son, were instantly
killed.
The laboring men were from Du-
luth and were coming west to work
on a branch of the Great Northern.
They were mostly Scandinavians.
1t appears that the cause of the
wreck was that the freight train of
twenty-eight cars. going east. was at
Essex and that the head engine went
forward, leaving helper engine in
the rear to hold the train. The help
err engine set the air brakes, left the
train standing on the tracks and
went to coal up.
Conductor Matthews was in the
Office getting orders and both brake
men were with the engine. 1t is be-
lieved the air leaked and that the
train, being on steep grade, slipped
away without the train crews know
ing it and dashed down the noun
tain at tremendous rate of speed,
variously estimated at from rs to 100
miles an hour, going down the hill
a distance of seventeen miles, when
it overlook the passenger. This
train was moving in the same direc-
ton as the runaway. otherwise the
disaster would have been greater.
The men on the passenger had not
the slightest warning of their dan
ger. There is nothing of the wreck
left but smoldering ashes and bent
and twisted irons and chains.
The names of the killed and wound
ed are unobtainable.

Announcement Is Made In Chicago by
Senator.

Chicago, Aug. Ex-senator Jona-
than p. Dolliver of Iowa yesterday
announced the candidacy of Governor
Leslie Nj. Shaw for the presidential
nomination in 1904.
This is an announcement" said
Senator Dolliver. Not only is Mr..
Shaw the candidate of Iowa." the
senator continued, "but he will be
found to be a candidate for the ma or
part of the middle west as well. He
is lowa's favorite son, o. simple, truth
full, able man, business man, a man
of affairs, plain citizen without frill,
his heart animated by "a sincere love
of humanity and his manners demo-
cratic and direct. He has made one
of the best governors Iowa ever had,
his grasp of administrative business
being remarkable and his probity and
honor being unimpeachable.
Nor is he merely lowa's favorite
son. He is typical of the middle west.
All the adjacent states know him well.
In Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota,
Minnesota the people feel him to be
one of themselves. They know him
as well as if he were one of their own
natives. He has spoken to them eff
fectively from the stump, and his
homely common sense, his direct logic
and quick retort, put him in touch
with the plain people in some such
fashion as President Lincoln himself.
The reputation of his administration
has gone much further than his own
state"

Clever swindle In sioux CITY.

Sioux City, Sept. 2.-Sioux City
housekeepers were badly swindled by
a clever woman who sells bogus old
family silver. She dresses artistic
ally for her role; she appears at the
door attired in worn but neat look
ing clothes and she has the air of
having seen better times. Her story
deals with her family in Scotland,
her voyage to America with her hns-
band, and later misfortunes which
compel her to part with precious lit
tie heirlooms and bits of old family
silver. The silver she displays APP
pears to be old, and it bears quaint
old designs of another time, but
when inspected by a silversmith the
fraud is readily exposed. The scheme
proved profitable one in Sioux City.

HOwIsON NOT PREJUDICED.
Deci That lie Is Not Opposed to Adj
miral Schley.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Acting Sec
rotary Hackett has made public a
letter received from Admiral Howl
son, dated Yonkers, N. Y, August "a,
denying the authenticity of the in
terview attributed to him in which
he is male to comment adversely on
Admiral Schley. The acting secre-
tary has, therefore, continued Adj
miral Huwison as a member of the
Schley court of inquiry, leaving the
court itself to determine any further
question as to his competency. In
his letter Admiral Howison says:
This newspaper cutting in ques-
ton contains a stftement in which
it is said that i made comparison
between Schley and Sampson, unfa-
vorable to Schley.
THE word respected as used-by
the reporter, is seldom or never EN-
ployed by navy men in comparing the
qualities possessed by officers, and
1 am sure 1 could never have said this
as he reports, nor said that Schley
had the reputation of being nervous
and hotheaded in the navel academy.
From the papers il appears that
Admiral Schley has strong doubts as
to my fitness to fairly judge this case
with Admiral Dewey and Benhem.
"As it is a case of grave import
ance to those concerned and to the
country, am DESTROYS of giving my
little help to clear away the troubles.
"The duties of members of courts
martial and the courts of inquiry
ere not sought or desired by officers.
"While feel highly honored by
the departments selection of myself
for this duty, it is anything but a
pleasant task to sit in judgment on
brother officers"

The apportionment by lot of thirteen

The apportionment by lot of thirteen
thousand homestead claims in the Kio-
way-Comanche reservation last month
was vast improvement in good sense,
order and fairness over the methods
by which government land has usually
been opened to settlement. OF course
there were many disappointed home
seekers-there must be when one hun
bred and seventy thousand applica-
tons are filed for thirteen thousand
claims-but there was no wild rush for
choice sections, no trampling on the
rights of the weak by the strong, no
fighting and no disputes over priority.
The distribution was conducted rapid
ly and in good order, through several
days, until the lots were apportioned:
and through it all crowd Of twenty
thousand people cheered and congrat-
ulated every winner as heartily as If
each member of the throng had been
himself the winner he hoped to be.

Denver, Aug. 31-The American As

He said that for centuries students

NEW BUILDINGS FOR FAIR.
Directors Contemplate Permanent I'm


PROPONENTS.
Des Moines, Aug. 31.--A movement
is on foot among the state fair direc-
tors which is expected to result, with
in the next few years, in the erection
of an entirely new set of buildings
on the fair grounds. The board has
received several propositions from
coal companies for the coal rights to
the land owned by the state and
comprising the state fair grounds.
1t is the intention of the board to
urge the society to accept the most
favorable of these propositions and
use the royalty accruing therefrom
to erect new buildings. The question
will be brought up and probably act
ed upon at the annual meeting of the
society in December. AS the land is
owned by the state, as the coal is
there to be mined, and as there are
several companies anxious to take it
out and pay for the privilege, the
directors feel the society will look
favorably upon the plan as a means
of raising needed money.
For several years the coal COM
panies adjacent to the fair grounds
have been anxious to secure the coal
rights Tor the state land. Hereto
fore the society and directors have
not felt they had the authority to
make contract. Accordingly, the
companies have been compelled to
stop mining when they reached the
fair grounds fences. 1t is believed
under the new agricultural society
law, enacted two years ago, the so
clety has full power to lease the coal
rights. Practically the entire fair
grounds are underlaid with coal. The
hill. which runs back from the prin-
clpal sire t or road running north
from the railway gate. is believed ia
be almost sond coal. This is a tract
ABOUT half mile long by a quarter
OF a mile wide, comprl-.ng about zoo
acres Leased at 10 per cent to IL
per cent of the amount of the GOA
taken out, the usual contract, the
iahu would produce an income OF
from $1,000 to $1,000 per annum.

New York, Sept. "A dispatch to

The complete triumph of the an

that the council stands twelve anar-
chists to three socialists.
But a more serious fact is thak all

not a single monarchial workman APP

The book so angered Turkeys ruler
that he exerted his influence in diplo-
matte channels to have it suppressed

succeeded in Sweden, but the popular
outcry against such action in Paris
was so strong that the government
declined to exert itself.
