the authorities at Washington are
afraid that there will not be time for
both ceremonies on that day. We shall
have, therefore, to present the prince
the freedom of the city on Saturday,
the day that he arrives. That will be
just as appropriate, or more so, than
the other"

DR.. CONNOk's ACCIDENT.
Fell from a Second Story 1indow at
His Residence.

! DR.. 3. q. Connor met with painful
accident last night at his residence on
| Dallas street. The accident happened
about $3.50 and that the doctor was
not killed outright is little short of a
miracle.
The doctor was occupying a room
In the second story of bis residence
and by some unaceountable means he
fell from window on the west side
OF the room. The unfortunate man
landed on a concrete walk and re-
ceived number of painful injuries
In addition to several bruises on the
body, his lett hip was broken in the
Joint. The distance from the window
to the ground is about eighteen feet,
and it Is thought his fall was partly ar
rested by window blind below, which
would account for his injuries being
no worse than they are.
The DOCTORS cries for help attracted
the attention OF the family, and he
VAS carried into the house and physi
clans summoned. His Injuries re-
ceiyed medical attention and today
he has been kept under the influence
OF opiates.
DIR. Connor is one of our oldest and
most highly esteemed citizens, and
while be is quite feeble it l. not be-
lieved serious conss quenees viii restllt
fsom his injuries, The accident is
greatly deplored, and the friehds of

cURANs ARE GRATEFUL.

1t appears that certain busy bodies
have been attempting to poison the
minds of the American people against
the Cubans by accusing them of in
gratitude. In view of the recent state
ment of General Emilio Nunez, gov
ernor of Havana province, these
charges of hostility seem at least to
be ill-advised. He says:
There is no more significance in
these reports than there is in the hos
tile feelings OF this or the other po-
litical man, or one or two newspapers
here against Great Britain, when in
reality the relations between that
country and the United States are
close and cordial. In fine, Cuba can
never forget all she owes the United
States and am sure the immense ma.
jority of it's people hope that our
friendly and commercial relations will
daily grow closer, although this does
not mean that there is any weakening
in the sentiment for independence,
that drove us to war, and which is to-
day the highest ideal of our people,

in its results than the ravages of dis
ease. In such cases as these it is the
woman nurse who seems to instinct
lively know what to do to d!spel the
gloom from the mind of the patient, to
brighten his surroundings. And to
these very people can be credited ma
ny lives of the boys who have gone
forth to fight for the flag.
DR.. Rixey has also recommended
that dentists be provided for each yes.
sci. Heretofore when battleship has
been ordered away on a long cruise,
destitute of dentist, it has undoubt-
eddy been the scene of much intense
suffering, as anyone who has ever been
troubled with an liberated tooth can
testify. The recommendations of Gen
eral Rixey, both as to the female nurs-
es and dentists, should be acted upon.

Consumntion in
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE.

There seems to be little doubt that
there will be department of COM
merce. 1t is practically assured that
bill will be passed forming such a
department, which shall. include sever
al bureaus that are now under the
supervision of the various departments
OF the government, chiefly the treas
ury. There has thus far appeared no
material opposition to the Inaugural
ton of this new department, That it is
quite necessary is generally admitted.
It's friends are convinced that it will
result in marked advantage to tn.
commercial and Industrial interests of
the country. II
The creation of such department
is amply justified by the great com.
mercial development that is being ex.
.perienced bYat nation. Under the
present conditions it is being contin.
ually extended and with the assist,
ance that could be rendered by the
proposed department the growth of our
commercial interests can be greatly
advanced. That we national govern
ment should give attention to this part
OF our national interests is manifestly
important and with the new depart.

pose, it will be enabled to do this.

and especially the business portion OF
it, and there is no good reason why
action in the matter should be longer

TWO THINGS ARE NEEDFuL.

Surgeon-General Rixey, of the navy,
wants to secure women nurses. He
announces as his reason that women
are much superior for this work than
are the men. The women would be
used only in the large marine hospi-
tails, but as those places are where
the most severe cases are sent
the nurses would be enabled to do
great amount OF good. To the man
in the service who is taken ill with
some of the more prevalent and less
serious ailments, his comrade. in the
hospital corps can minister to his
needs in an efficient manner. But to
the boy who has been i'll for weeks,
away from his comrades, in the hospi-
tai surrounded by strange and unfamil-
far scenes and companions there
comes that feeling of loneliness, which
so often has proved to be more fatal

ESTIMATE OF AMERICA.

The United States has been styled
the Land of Unbounded Possibili-
ties This is the opinion of Hon.
Ludwig Max Goldberger, a man high
in the councils of Germany. 1t is not
declaration emanating from a super
fetal glance at our large resources or
inspired by awe at the immensely of
OUR country or the magnitude of our
varied enterprises. 1t is the result of
months of thorough investigation dur
ing which time Mr.. Goldberger made a
close study Of our varied interests. He
familiarized himself with the diversity
of our agricultural and mineral pro-
ducts, our methods of gathering to-
gether these products and utilizing
them for numerous purposes and of
distributing them again throughout
this nation and the world for the use
of its millions. He studied the people
Of this country, and became acquain.
ted with the versatility of their at.
tainments, their ability to handle af-
fairs and the untiring zeal of their
efforts
In reviewing the conditions which
he met here Goldberger says: "The
United States like an enchanted gar
den, has brought forth from mar
velous!y productive SOIL splendid re-
suits of human ingenuity.Yet the thing
that causes most wonder is that the
concentrated intelligence which in.
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1902-12-04

tending to replace human factors by
machinery, has, in working toward it's
aim, been giving to constantly grow
ing numbers of workmcn an oppotrtu-
nifty to support themselves and become
productive factors. The joy at the
size of their own land encourages
each individual. 1t makes him. COM
municative and friendly to foreigners
who are seeking information. 1t
seems as though everyone were filled
with the idea: The stranger shall see
how great and strong America shy
eigh: months trip of observation and
study took me through the tates,and
everywhere l found open doors invit-
ing me to enter, and nowhere did
find the slightest attempt at secre-
tiveness. Everywhere l observed an
uncommon but steady hustle of men
who enjoy their work and are con
sciously working for great results.
This is the verbatim designation of
reverential admiration which the citi-
zen of the United States has found for
his country"
This is not mere fiattery. 1t is the
sincere conviction of man well cap
able of judging. 1t is expressed with
forcibleness and clearness that can
not be misunderstood.

ness to any change in the financial
system among the people, and that
there is an apparent need in this di-
rection is concisely stated by Mr..
Clews as follows:
Had we modern scientific cur
rency plan instead of the present OBJ
solete, inelastic method which has
more than once brought us to the edge
of disaster, the situation would large
ly correct itself. Nothing but an ig--
norant, popular prejudice against
banks has prevented our having cur
rency capable of expanding or con-
tracing according to demand; and
such a currency, it ought to be known,
is of more benefit to the public than
to the banks, which have no objection
to high rates of interest forced by ar.
tificial scarcity, An elastic currency
is really of greater advantage to the
public than to the banks; but the pa.
tient creature called the public seems
to learn it's needs only through the
painful and costly school of expert.
