A sensational accident in the Iowa

Grinnell pen, plunged head-foremost
into the crowd.
Jones dove into the spectators like
q battering-ram, head down. while q
dozen men fell under the impact, and
others, carried on their feet, swayed
and fell back on the struggling men.
Panic followed, and several more peo-
pie were injured in trying to break
through the ranks behind them and
get away. When the panic subsidized
and the injured people were assisted to
their feet Jones was found at the bot
tom Of the mass unconscious and seri-
ously hurt. 1t was some time before he
could be revived. One Of the specta-
tors had his leg broken and several
others had sprains and fractures.

HOW TO SPELL aHuRNs.s

The True Patronymic Of the Great
Scotch Poet.
In the review of Mr.. Millar's Liter.

tator of Sept. 12 the writer says:
"The father of Burns spelt his name,

There is, think, ample evidence to
the contrary, as appears from the fol

Campbell moved from Argyllshire to
Glenberyle in the Mearns (Kincar-
dinshire) early in the seventeenth cen
tury he assumed the name of Burn
house or Burness. From him the
fourth in descent was William Bur
ness, the father of the poet.

The poet always signed himself

about two years after his fathers
death in 1884 the last extant letter
with that signature being one ad-

ONE OF eERMANv's GREATEST.
Prof. Mommsen's Death Breaks Link
in History.

Prof. Mommsen's Death Breaks Link
in History.
With the passing of Prof. Theodor
Mommsen, Germany has lost the last
link between the present generation
of thinkers and scholars and those
who like Helmholtz and Virchow lent
the luster of their works to the past
four decades of German history. The
old historian frequently received cor
respondents in his home in Chariot
tenburg, one of Berlin's suburbs, and
made each interview the occasion of
affairs. of which he was keen stu
an animated discussion of American
dent.
Mommsen was fond of dwelling on
two ideas, any report Of which he re-
quested should not be published until
after his death. When asked once
what was the motive underlying the
kaiser's anxiety to possess a powerful
navy he replied: Because he dreams
Of a German Trafalgar at the ex-
pense Of either Great Britain or the
United States. He would prefer the
United States, because he has no
grandmother buried there"
Another favorite idea the old his
torian had was the peaceful creation
Of German state within the United
States where Germans might reside
under some form of German self-gov-
ernment and live out their German
ideals untrammeled by the modern
political tendencies of the fatherland,
which he insisted were reactionary.
Surrounded by his large family
Mommsen spent his declining years
arranging his valuable collection of
manuscripts. Occasionally he would
issue manifesto ON some burning
public topic. His most recent utter
ances consisted of appeals for Ger
man university freedom, for an al
lance of the liberal and socialist
parties and for better Anglo Ger
man understanding. Many of Momm-
sens countrymen refused to take him
seriously. declaring that he had failed
to keep step with the march of mod
ern events. but still thought in the
spirit of forty years ago. Germany,
however, mourns in him the loss of
one OF her greatest sons.
