STUDENTS ROB A GRAVE
TAKE "PROFEsSoR- FROM HIS
COFFIN TO A MEDICAL COLLEGE.
Exciting Incident at Keokuk Particle
pated in by $50 Medics-Fight
with Policemen.

KEOKUK. Ia. Feb. 3.-After overpower-
ing Il squad OF armed policemen and a
guard, $50 students of the Keokuk Medical
College this morning dug up Prof Cozad.
who was buried yesterday for a seven days
sleep in alleged cataieptic state The
students were organized and made quick
work of the policemen, in spite of display
of revolvers by the officers. Prof" Cozad,
under the management of st. Louis men,
was buried under tent in Main street
The grave was so arranged that persons
could see the body through a tube on pay
ment of 10 cents
The students decided that the "Profes-
sor' was a fake, and gave out a tip that
the grave would be robbed. A Waterman
stood guard over the living corpse. The
street was quiet last night until shortly
after midnight, when the students, in COM
pany file, marched down the street to the
tent that covered the grave of the PRO
lessor" The Waterman was overpowered
and bound Five students began to throw
earth from the grave while the others
guarded against interference. Some one
sent in riot call. The police in charge of
Captain Dietz, responded. When they
reached the grave it was half emptied of
earth.
Clubs in hands. the police attacked the
students. The students formed few flying
wedges and drove the policemen back,
knocking them down several times. The
officers then drew revolvers.
The students, nothing daunted, formed
a mass play and kept the policemen away
from the grave. The five resurrectionists
did not stop digging. The policemen were
afraid to shoot into the crowd, and in ten
minutes the Professor" was taken from
the grave and carried to the college.
Several women students were spectators.
They cheered the grave-robbers. Several
business men were also onlookers Before
the grave was finally relieved of its con-
tents many citizens had been called out of
bed.
Although Professor Cozad said that he
was in a cataleptic state, he moved several
inches in his coffin while the students were
digging him up. The professor breathed
heavily, and the students say he acted as
though he was frightened.

truth of the immortal Washingtons advice:
The way to preserve peace is to prepare
for war In the future you belong en-

TILLMANISM.


Milwaukee Sentinel
The Sentinel has been taken to task by
an evening newspaper for an editorial OF
last week on the shooting of Gonzales, In
which the hope was expressed that the
dastardly deed would lead to the purging OF
South Carolina politics OF Tillmanism and
all its works and opponents. including the
ribald ranter and swaggerer who repre-
sents the State in the Senate. For this ar
ticle the Sentinel is charged by its evening
contemporary with seeking to hold Sena-
tor Tillman responsible for the crime of his
nephew. The Sentinel is described by this
preposterous critic being so full OF gall
and bitterness against Senator Tillman as
a stanch and outspoken foe of monopoly
that it gladly seizes upon any pretext how
ever slight. to thrust a poisoned dagger
into his reputation.
The Sentinel therefore hastens TO dis
claim any thought or desire of playing
the bravo at Senator Tillmans expense.
1t believes that he, more perhaps than
any other public man in the country, rues
and will have reason to rue the da3tardly
deed of his nephew. 1t believes further
more that the one thing to be admired in
public man is the sincerity of his Wig
orous IL indiscriminate onslaughts on mo-
nopoy, and IL most cordially wishes him all
success every time he touches his puissant
ptchfork against bad trust.
But to commiserate Senator Tillman in
his present family trouble and TO admit
his sincerity and his possible graces OF
private character is not to retract one word
or syllable of previous condemnation of him
as the upholder OF mob rule and Southern
lynchings, as the bully and common scold
of the Senate. as the brutal assailant OF
an unoffending and physically inferior col
league In that theoretically august assem-
bly, of statesmen and sages, as the man
whose name and local dominance have
furnished a new and reproachful term in
American politics-Tillmanism. As a lead
ing and outspoken Chicago journal said
and as scores of reputable papers all over
the country are saying I'm effect, in their
comments on the Columbia shooting: THE
act was entirely Tfllmanesque. The
sooner the decent people of South Carolina
assert themselves and stamp out Tillman-
ism the better IL will be for South Carolina
and the whole South
AS for the Sentinels critics Juggling OF
Senator Spooner's name into its argument
II need only be replied that il there be one
man in the Senate who has on occasion
sharply and effectively and in fit terms
called down" Senator Tillman for his rant
ing attacks on the principle of law and or
der. IL Is the senior senator from Wiscon-
sin. Fortunately. thanks to personal re-
gard and the authority that hedges a COM
handing personality. he has thus far es-
capped being half throttled for his temerity
by the South Carolina terror, as Senator
Beverage was.

1t is an interesting coincidence that the
offer of Argentina and Chile to sell to the
United States each two batteships which
they are now having constructed abroad
comes at a time when Congress is on the
point of deciding in favor of a considerable
increase of the navy. The reasons given
for the offer by the South American gov
ernments are also interesting. namely, that
by a treaty signed by them several months
ago they are both obligated not to increase
their naval strength The two Chilean bat
tleships, which were ordered about a year
ago, are being constructed in England, and
were to be completed in eighteen months.
They are of 1900 tons displacement each.
and were to cost 81. 100000 each. The spe-
cifications all called for first-class ships.
The two armored cruisers for Argentina
are being constructed at Genoa, Italy.
They are to be of the same type as the
Italian armored cruiser Garibaldi, $500 tons
displacement. and of an estimated cost of
s.. 900 each. These two ships were laid
down in March last. and will not be COM
pleted for nearly year. 1t is not unlikely
some other powers relative to a sale of the
ships, and that they will close with the
highest and best bidder. In the natural
course of business the secretary of the
navy will probably call upon members of
the General Board of the Navy, of which
Admiral Dewey is the head, and upon men,
bers of the Board of Construction for
their professional opinion, and If they rec
ommend the purchase of the ships the mat
ter will be referred to Congress.
IL the secretary of the navy recommends
the purchase of these ships sensational
correspondents will probably represent
that it is a preparation for anticipated
war with some European power. and will
work Ii for all il is worth. OF course. IL
will have no such significance. because
there is not the slightest prospect or dam
ger of war. 1t will simply be in pursuance
OF the wise policy of strengthening our
navy and preparing for war in time of
peace. All patriotic Americans believe
in this policy. They are proud OF our navy
and believe ii should be maintained at a
standard that will make the United States
respected by all other powers and regard
ed as a dangerous antagonist. This much
Is necessary to protect our rights and pre-
serve the peace The money that Is spent
in strengthening our navy is well spent.
and millions of Americans who have never
seen and never expect TO see battleship
are In favor of the policy.
