A Peculiar Case.

Glidden Graphic: About month
ago a man named Donnelly lost foot
under the cars west of Glidden. The
dismembered foot was put in cigar
box and buried in the Chicago and
Northwestern park, south of the Gid
den depot, Donnelly being taken to
Wright's hospital at Carroll. Ever
since the accident he has experienced
a painful cramped sensation,as though
in the toes of the foot that was ampu-
tated This sensation is said to be
common with persons having suffered
an amputation. but any connection be-
tween the lost member and the ner-
vous system is usually discredited.
Last week Donnelly's foot was taken
up and the toes found to be cramped
in exactly the pocition he imagined
them to be. The foot. unknown to
him, was Strengthened out and buried
again, and from that moment he has

LAW AND JUSTICE: ITS CHAM
PlON,

The administration of public af--
fairs by President Roosevelt during
the time he has been in Office, has
been such as has merted and won
the approval of the American people.
Never has there been President of
the United States who has enjoyed
more universally the confidence of the
people than does the present incum--
bent of that Office. The president is
what we like to call typical Ameri-
can, fearless of all opposition .unswerv-
ing in the performance of his duty
when once he is determined that his
course is right. man of the people,
who through the versatility
of his abilities knows and
appreciates the needs of the whole
people. But the supreme test of the
universal CONFIDENCE, which President
Roosevelt enjoys, is that he goes to
the limit of his power. where neces-.
sary. in carrying out the duties of his
Office.
The position taken by President
Roosevelt in the prosecution of the
Northern Securities Co., the beef COM
bine and the other corporations
against which Attorney General Knox
has filed suits, has been such that il
has brought forth from large por-
ton of the people of the country most
hearty commendation Wherever
there has appeared to be an indication
of violation of the laws by these
great combinations President Roose.
welt has taken immediate steps tt
eliminate that evil and bring then

termination in this matter has beel

tlvss Of the republican, party as the

sneers at Iowa.

The New York Commercial sneers
at E. e. Clark, of Cedar Rapids, and
his appointment on the coal strike
commission as a sociologist, contend
ing that he does not come within the
meaning of the term as defined in the
dictionaries. The Des Moines Regis
ter and Leader. however. points out
that President Roosevelt in this in
stance furnishes his own definition of
'sociologist." definition which is as
good as any in the books, and one
which makes Mr.. Clark's appointment
wholly acceptable. Mr.. Clark, says
the Des Moines paper, lis undoubtedly
a sociologist in his particular field OF
life and endeavor,H and. at any rate
the Presidents definition, ''the New
York paper to the contrary, will go
with the people"

EFFICIENCY IN OFFICE THE
MEASDRE

In conducting business affairs it is
a recognized fact that methods that
have been tried and proven to be eff
cient, are preferable to experiments.
Wapello county for the past year has
been in every respect satisfactory and
efficient. In presenting to the voters
of this county candidates for the
county offices to be elected this fall
the republican party has recognized
this fundamental principle of all bust
ness. The present incumbents of the
Offices of county clerk, auditor, record
er, attorney and member of the board
of supervisors have in the administra-
ton of their offices been county SER
wants first and partisans afterward.
on account of the loyal and efficient
services of these men the republican
party of this county has deemed it adj
visable to the best interests of the
county to place them before the voters
of Wapello county for reelection.
In doing this the party points to the
records they have made while in Office
and is confident that in asking the vot,
ers Of the county to support them it
is not asking the people to introduce
any experiments into the management
Of their affairs. but can assure them
that with the return of |. H. Ham
