COMMON CARRIERS OF CONTRACTION.

Only a few days ago tramp stag
gered into Tama burning with small
pox He was Immediately quaran-
tined. given medical attention and
otherwise cared for. He died within 4
few days and the doctors classified the
cause of death as the most virulent
type of smallpox. The community
that received and tended him has the
expense of his illness and the men,
ace of possible epidemic to pay for it's
samaritanism.
many of the mysterious and apparent
ly sporadic outbreaks Of disease here
and there. The tramp, sinking from
place TO place, begging at back doors
and sleeping in barns, covered with th'
robes and blankets from the farmers
carriages, left trail of infection in
his course. Smallpox cases of mys-
terious origin will follow as natural
consequence. He conveyed and dis
secretly as rats carry bubonic plague,
Not long since an epidemic of small
pox, that affected hundreds of English
and Welsh towns and cities, was
traced back to its source by the Brit
ish medical authorities. The inquiry
proved conclusively that tramps
brought smallpox into 72 per cent of
the sixty-three large towns from which
returns We're received. More recently
boroughs having populations of TO-
900 or over. confirm the conclusions
drawn from the former inquiry. OF
the 1875 places Ill had been visited
by smallpox, and 81 per cent of these
derived it from what the report calls
"harmful and unnecessary tramps."
1t was found that one city had been
infected twenty three times with
smallpox by tramps another twenty
four times, and the city of Liverpool
thirty-four times.
The tramp is, like most men and
things which have degenerated from
a normal state of usefulness, harmful
and dangerous. 1t is time that he was
abated and forcibly turned to the best
use that may be made of him. A
proven tramp and yagrant would be
the better for six months of honest
labor upon the highway and the roads,
the better for his enforced helpfulness.
The average tramp is criminal and
owes time to the state. A system of
six months sentences, road camps and
practical superintendent, would clean
the tramps out of Iowa as st. Patrick
is reputed to have chased snakes out
of Ireland.

correspondents until he has good
sized boom in progress but the nomi-
nation will not come to Iowa this
year.
For these reasons it is prudent to lis
ten to the wisdom of Senator Plat OF
New York. Plat says that Senator
Fairbanks of Indiana will be forced to
become Roosevelt's running mate" and
this is the opinion OF eastern leaders
generally. There is a bare possibility
that Judge Parker. on the democratic
ticket could carry New. York with Wall
streets millions voting for him and II
he did the same influences might carry
es completely dominated by plutocracy.
In that event the loss of either Indiana
or Ohio to the republicans would lose
the election and this must not be.
That Senator Platt seems to know
what he is talking about seems appar-
ent from the supreme confidence with
which he proceeds to lay out Iuture
politics in general. Elihu Root will be
forced to become the republican can
didate for governor of New York" says
Plat. Il think Bliss is more likely to
retain his place as treasurer of the ma
tional committee. As chairman Sena-
tor Penrose would be particularly de-
sirable because he would have the
hearty support of Senator Quay" con-
tinued the aged senator and king max
er in his predictions. Thus 1t will be
seen that when viewed with any degree
of political wisdom the possibility of
an Iowan securing either the vice presi-
dency or craftsmanship Of the national
committee is so remote as to make 1t
mere ehild's play to harbor such a
hope.

Well, sir there never was a time that
can remember when things In
general were none promising for a
Dustin big crop than at the present
time. Yes. sir. the oats crop looms
up like man with a boiled shirt at
a farmers alliance convention. These
warm days and nights have done it.
Mind you, 1 said nights. They have
just about as much to do in growing
u crop in Iowa as the days The nights
have been Just about as warm of late.
IF YOU have noticed in the morning
about 6 o'clock il was warm. That
meant that it had been warm all dur
ing the night. Well. that means
whole lot. That means that the wealth
er was working two shifts so to speak,
and the result is the finest stand of
oats we have had in years.
Last winter was good one for the
land in general. Lots of cold weather
and just enough snow to get the ground
in good condition for planting this
spring Then the farmers got their
fall blowing all done up in good shape
last fall and were ready for business
this spring, when the ground hog came
out and saw his shadow. The result of
all this good luck for the farmers ia
that If nothing happens you will see
the seed corn all planted in this part OF
the state by the middle of this month.
This means something. 1t means a
whole lot toward a good crop this fall.
Now you mark what your Uncle Har>
vey tells you. Well have one of those
old fashioned crops this fall. 1t makes
me think of the man who had big
crop and got big prices for it and noth-

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

A few days ago dispatches from ST.
Petersburg announced the intention OF
the Russian army to drive the Japan
csc back into Korea. Later the Rus
sian dispatches are full of hints of a
grand strategetic plan by which the
japanese are to be lured on in the
wake of the retreating Muscovites until
the spot is reached where the Rus
view of the fact that the japanese
know the country better than the Rus
slams can possibly have learned it, are
supplied with accurate information by
the friendly natives of the country, this
should be taken with a grain of salt.
The concensus of reports from the
front show that the Japs have won
by hard marching and fierce fighting
all the advantages they appear to have
gained. Russian reports declare that
Kuropatkin ordered the retreat from
Feng Wang Cheng as part of a strate-
getic maneuver. japanese dispatches
claim that the Russians were driven
out by hard fighting and that kuropat-
kin's Fabian policy is the result of nee
essity.
The Japanese version has most facts
to support It, Japan knows every hill
and valley OF Manchuria and its strats-
getic value. Her maps were made and
her plans of offense completed long be-
fore war was declared. Her armies are
where she had placed them on the
Manchurian chess board year ago.
Perhaps kuropatkin has a plan up his
sleeve that shall repeat the history OF
Nnpoleon's invasion. If SO there is no
evidence at hand that gives hope of its
success.
With Russia fortified along the Man
chureian frontier and with the Japs oc-
cupying the Manchurian fortresses and
holding the eastern Asiatic sea line
the war is certain to be a long drawn
out affair That is the only Russian
war prediction which may be given
universal credit.

"THREE FISHERS. ]"

The Incident which Moved Ktn1sley
to Write the Poem.
Charles Kingsley wrote the three
Fishers" as result Of the many sad
sights he had seen at Clovelly. One
day of horror in particular lived In his
memory, a day, as he described It.
when the old bay lay darkened with
the gray columns of the waterspouts,
stalking across the waves before the
northern gale, and the tiny herring
boats fleeing from their nets right for
the breakers, hoping more mercy even
from those iron walls Of rock than
from the pitiless bowling waste OF
spray behind them, and that merry
beach beside the town covered with;
shrieking women and old men, casting
themselves on the pebbles in fruitlessS
agonies of prayer as corpse after
corpse swept up at the feet OF wife and
child, till in one case alone single
dawn saw upward OF sixty widows and
orphans weeping over those who had
gone out the night before In the full
ness OF strength and courage. These
scenes lived ever In his mind.
But the Three Fishers" was written
as result of one Of the strangest incl
dents in the stormy career Of the
preacher-author. In 1851 he preached
sermon in London church on The
Message OF the Church to the Lab0rinE
Man. At Its close the vicar rose and
denounced him. Bishop Bloomfield for
babe Kingsley to preach again In his
diocese until. having read the sermon
and seen Its author. he withdrew the
edict. The same night upon which he
delivered his discourse Kingsley went
to his home weary There had nearly
been q riot In the church. Sick at
heart, he retired to his study. When
he reappeared he handed to his family
his immortal song, ..as though It were
the outcome Of it all, as his wife said.

BUILDING TO TEST LIGHT.
Investigations by Arcl Gets For
Boston's New Art Museum.

Investigations by Arc1- Gets For
BOston's New Art Museum.
The care which is being taken even
in the experimental work and study by
the architects for the building Of the
new Museum of Fine Arts in Boston il
apparent, says the Boston Globe, from
the crude wooden building erected on
the proposed site for the purpose OF de-
termining the relative value of the nat
ural light at this place from the va
rious points of the compass
Light Is the all important matter In
such building, and in determining the
location of the various departments it
is necessary to know the power and In
tensity Of the light from all points and
during the various hours of the day.
The structure for this experimental
purpose stands on q movable base or
foundation about four feet in height
and is forty feet long, thirty two feet
wide and thirty feet in height The
material used is heavy pine timber, put
together solidly with bolts and nails,
the sides being closed In. On the sides
and high up there are few windows
screened from the inside.
The floor is built in such a way that
1t can be raised up to the level Of what
would ordinarily be second story.
The most noticeable feature is the sky
light, which is fixed at an angle on the
top and towering seventeen feet above
the roof
In experimenting with the skylight
the building will be moved about the
lot at various angles, and the exact re-
suits aimed at may be reached in
month, or it may take several months
