Kaiser is a Mighty Hunter.

The German emperor has just cele-
brated the thirtieth anniversary of his
career as a sportsman. Germany being
the classic land of statistics, it is
scarcely surprising that an exact rec
ord should have been kept. Of his ma
jesty's bags It is announced, on
the basis Of official figures, that since
he started shooting and hunting thirty
years ago the emperor has accounted
for no less than A, 443 head Of game.

Secretary Shaw On Secession.

Secretary Shaw has done the
South great service unless
his right to be regarded as an
authority is contested and de-
MED. In his address at Pitts
burg, on the birthday of Gen.
eral Grant. he declared that war
was 1.-The court of last resort"
to which the question of the
right of secession was appealed
and that the final decision
against that right was not rem
dered until the surrender OF
Lees army at Appomattox.
Until then the United States OF
America had been properly con
sidered a federation of sover
eign states, and from the times
of Jefferson had been spoken of
In the plural number. Blu
since Appomattox Secretary
Shaw insists that the United
States "is," or. in other words
that the United States is nov
a consolidated nation and tn,
right of secession can no longeI
be claimed by any of the states
1t will be clearly seen tina
the Secretary has enlighteneC
history, and, we hope, put al
effectual gag in the mouths O
those men who have for fort,
years past denounced the south
ern people as anarchists, trait
ors and rebels. For if the Sec
rotary is right. the question O
secession was an entirely ope
one until the court of last re
sort, with General Grant a
chef justice, rendered it's de
cision at Appomattox. --Atlau

1T was announced that the property
was to be placed on the market as
factory sites the purchase Is said to
have been part of the great plan
which has been quietly but industri-
ously pursued for several months
past.
There are other features, too, be-
sides these realty purchases which go
TO confirm the report of this proposed
great plant at Chicago-notably the
elaborate plans which have been made
to secure abundant and the best pos
sible transportation facilities. Within
the last two weeks it has been an
bounced that the Illinois Northern rail
way company. organized only wear
or so ago, and of which John c. Fet-
ger is president. has secured control
of the tracks of the Santa Fe road
from TWenty-siXth street and Western
avenue across the river and drainage
canal to Forty-ninth street and Cen
trail park avenue. 1t has been an
nonpced also that the company is now
building tracks from this noint to the
great freight clearing yards at Stick,
new. When COMPLETED these tracks
will run from this last named point di,
rectly to the Mccormick plant and the

This will be supplemented by album
dant water transportation facilities, as

age 1t is understood that the Santa
Fe trackage was secured some time
ago, but the fact that announcement
to that effect was withheld until the
organization of the International Har-

deals are connected.

the large purchases of the

plate the concentration of other great

automatically replied that the land
was not purchased originally for that

TELEPHONE SITUATION.
Labor Leaders Learn of Raise in
Waues in OttumWa.

Labor leaders in Des Moines have
just learned that employees of the Iowa
telephone company in Ottumwa have
been granted an increase in wages,
according to the Des Moines News.
This is taken as an indication, accord
ing to that newspaper, by those inter-
ested that the Iowa telephone compa-
ny has done this as means to pre-
vent the spread Of sympathetic
strike among the operators and line
men in other Iowa cities which had
its inception in the capital city.
The News views the situation in this
way:
Labor leaders in Des Moines nave
learned that the Iowa Telephone COM
pany is engaged in putting up wages
of employees at other points in Iowa
than Des Moines to substantially the
figures which have been demanded by
the strikers in Des Moines. At Boone
there has been reduction of the
hours of labor so that nine hours will
constitute a day At Ottumwa there
has been an increase in wages. The
as movement to prevent the spread
of the strike which is being conducted
here In Des Moines. They say that
the increase will be only temporary
and that should the strike here in Des
Moines go against the unions the old
system of wages will be resorted to
everywhere. The labor unions regard
the increase in wages as an Indication
of what may be accomplished for the
girls by concerted efforts.

TO ACCEPT CHILDREN.
Board of Control Rules in Regard to
Insane.

The Iowa state board of control
has made an order which in effect is
that children may be incarcerated in
the state hospital for the insane in
Iowa. This question was raised for
the first time in the history of the
state when Homer D. Jackson, a A.
year-old child of Muscatine, was on
Saturday sent to the hospital for the
insane at Mt. Pleasant and there re-
fused admission because of his eX-
IRENE youth, without an order from
the state board of control The child
was sent back to Muscatine and the
county clerk at once appealed to the
board Of control to know what to Go
in the case.
Judge Kline sent a letter to the
clerk, stating that the child would
have to be admitted at Mt. Pleasant,
if its parents did not wish to care for it
in their home. He said the ques-
ton had never been raised before to
his knowledge, and that he did not
think the child should be taken to
the state hospital, but as the law
was silent on this subject there was
no way to prevent the child from
being incarcerated as charge of the
state.
1T is deplorable thing" said
Judge Kline in speaking of the ques-
ton, TO think of a 4-year-old child
being incarcerated with adult
insane persons. The child will
not harm the older patients, but the
atmosphere is certainly not what it
should be for the child. 1t ought to
be cared for in its own home, but
there is no way in which we can pre-
vent it's being placed among the other
wards of the state. The law pertain
ing to the confinement of such pc
tients refers to all insane persons
without specifying age. We have had
persons as young as IL years of age
in our hospitals, but never
under that age. This case of the Mus
catine child stands out by itself"
Homer D. Johnson, the 4-year-old
child whose case is looked upon as a
most pitiable one, is the son of j. H
johnson of Atalissa. He was talk
en- by the father before the board OF
| insane commissioners of Muscatine
/ county last week, where a close ex
animation was made by a number Of
! leading physicians of Muscatine. The
| child is unable to talk and seems tc
be in constant pain. and the physi
clans think he is suffering from cere
| bral irritation that is, that the skull
| is flattened at some point so that ar
undue pressure is eXerted uron tho
brain. 1t is believed that with treat
ment the child may be improved, il
complete recovery is not effected.
