in this truly surprising life of ours

displayed by the man who has won

for life from active business.
l met such a man the other day. He
Is worth million or so, at the age
of TO- All his life, down to three or
four years ago, he has shown what l
might call 'pernicious activity" in the
quest for wealth. During all these
years he has passed among his friends
and acquaintances as one of those 20
whom the pursuit of the dollar was
reward enough in itself. All these re-
ceived real shock soon after their
friend announced that he had got
enough money together.
They had notion that he was now
ready to take long rest, and, per-
haps have his fling in travelling about
the world and seeing the wonderful
countries and peoples thereof
This they soon discovered. how
ever, was exactly what he didn't pur-
pose doing. Instead he informed them
that, having devoted so many years
to vulgar money getting, he was now
prepared to begin his real life work.
That life work, he explained further.
was the translation of the Persian
classics into English and the publica-
ton of them in popular form, so that
his uncultivated fellow countrymen
might drink at the fountains of the
literature and the philosophy of an
Gent Iran. At first they thought he
was only joking, but they have now
long known better. The old gentleman
already has many pages of the transla-
lions done, and just at present is busy
good part of the time presenting his
copy for the inspection of the liter
airy advisers of the leading publishers.

New York, June ia New Yorker
who has just returned from an ex-
tensive trip through the Middle West
says that in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
the Republican voters wish that ]. S.
Clarkson were to be made the execu-
tive chairman of the Campaign Com
mittee this year instead of Mr.. Cor
telyou.
This is not because they know of
any good reason why Mr.. Cortelyou
will not make a good chairman, but
because they don't know him, and so
are unable to form an opinion as to
his probable efficiency. They do know
ClarSson. and they do believe he would
be an ideal chairman.
Mr.. Clarkson is one of the few sur
mittee that. acting under the chief
tainship of the late Matthew S. Quay,
conducted the campaign so successfully
in 1888, when Harrison ran against
Cleveland the first time. Mr.. Clarkson
was also with the Executive Commit
tee in 1892, when Harrison was defeated
by Cleveland, but that year Mr.. Carter
of Montana was chairman.
Since that year Mr.. Clarkson has
not been actively connected with the
conduct of any national campaign, but
there is a strong probability that he
will be a considerable factor this year,
though he has not thought of being
executive chairman. Mr.. Clarkson has
been a resident of this city most of the
time since 1892, and is now surveyor of
the port, an important office in the Gus
toms service.
1t has seemed a pity to many of his
friends who know his ability as an
editor that he has not been connected
during the past few years with some
big newspaper, for when he had charge
of the Iowa State Register he was a
real power in the land.
Journalistic Warehouses Out of 1t.
To the old-timer this coming cam
paign will be a good deal like the
play of Hamlet" with the melancholy
Dane left out, so far as the leaders
in politics and the journalistic war
horses are concerned. Among the
political leaders there has been an al
most complete change within the last
dozen years and the same is true as
to the men who conduct the big New
York newspapers.
Only Whitelaw Reid of the Tri-
bune, James Gordon Bennett of the
Herald, and Joseph Pulitzer of the
World, of those who were actively
at the head of big New York news
papers a dozen years ago are now in
the saddle. Then The Times was
still the property of the Jones family,
The Evening Post was actively ed
tied by Lawrence Godkin; Charles A.
Dana was editor of The Sun.
Mr.. Godkin and DR.. Dana were fine
examples of what has long been term
ed the "old school, editor-the editor
who carried the whole paper, in a
way, upon his own shoulders; whose
writing and whose editorial policies
were the chief drawing cards. Mr..
Pulitzer has often been spoken of as
one of the earliest of the new school
editors, editors who make of their
newspapers commercial propositions
instead of channels for the propaga-
tim their OXVp ideas

He had expected to meet a man

that hardly show their blindness.
When this man spoke. the young
writer said, he seemed like a roaring

lips in a perfect torrent, impetuous,

plans for the future that Mr.. Pulitzer
didn't want to know about. The ques-
tions came so fast and so furious
that the unfortunate young writer as
he puts 1t himself, simply sank back
in his chair, limp and inert specimen
of humanity" So thoroughly fright
ened was the young man by the fusil-
lade of questions that he would prob
ably have hesitated about staying on

opportunity to do so.

three weeks in examining the books q
the defunct Bank of Lineville, finished
his work on Tuesday and took the train
for home. He gave out no information
as to the results of the examination of
the affairs of the bank and will probably
make his report to J. P. Jordan, of Des

Remarkable Luck.

Many queer incidents have happened
along with the Rosebud land drawing
lottery, but we predict none will equal
what we have near our own city. One
of the many to seek fortune from this
country was Chas. Morris, a carpenter
of Bethlehem. He took with him his
fathers old soldiers certificate and
entered his name along with his own for
chance on the big draw. When the
papers reached here last Friday Chas.
Morris name was among the lucky
winners from Iowa, drawing No. 996, for
which he received many congratula-
tions. 1t is said that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place and the
elder Morris, after his sons good luck,
had not the remotest hope of drawing a
quarter section. But you can never
tell what will happen, and yesterday S
papers conveyed the information that
JAS. w. Morris, Of Bethlehem, had drawn
No. 1888. This is an incident that prob
ably will never occur again in the his
tory of land drawing. One is lucky to
draw claim at all, it is very remark
able when two lands in the same family
but almost miraculous when one draws
a good claim for himself and also good
one for the person whose application he
handled. 1t seems more than mere luck

DES MONIES, Iowa, June 6.-The
$owa State Board of Health has pro-
nounced consumption a contagious dis
ease, and hereafter all cases of tuber-
culosis the physicians find within the
State must be reported within twelve
hours to the Mayor of the town in
which the disease exists. He in turn
must inform the State Board of
Health within twenty-four hours after
the finding of the afflicted person.
The State Board of Health is making
an extraordinary effort to check the
alarming increase of tuberculosis in
the State The old belief that the
climate is responsible for the prevalence
of the disease is no longer given Gre
dence. In the current bulletin a COM
parison of deaths by tuberculosis in the
State of Iowa and California is made,
and it is pointed out that the death
rates of the two sections are practically
the same. The next State Legislature
will be asked to consider the prevalence
Of tuberculosis and the best means of
restricting its spread.

MAGOON REPLIES
TO JUDGE: GEAR
HE DEFENDS HIS ACTION IN THE
MATTER OF THE FRANK HUS-
TACE DEEDS

Attorney J. Alfred Magoon has made
the following reply to the criticisms of
him made by Judge Gear yester-
day in the decision in Dee VS.. .Jmith:
1T is a matter of regret TO me that
Judge Gear in the case of Dee VS.. Smith
should have taken up nearly three
columns in discussing me on matter,
which, according to his decision, APP
pears to me to have nothing to do with
the merits of the case. Judge Gear
decides that the deed which Mr.. Hus-
tace made to Mr.. Smith was not frau
dulent The decision of the case so far
as Mr. smith is concerned is in these
words: 1t seems to me that the trans
action in question was perfectly fair
and legitimate from the evidence
it is clear to me that the whole trans
action with regard to the land in ques-
ion was regular and proper and 1 find
that it was not made with the purpose
of hindering, delaying and defrauding
creditors
Judge Gear has evidently come to
the conclusion that l, without any at
tempt at concealment, advised Mr..
Hustace, my adversary in litigation, to
a
property to defraud the Kamalo Sugar
Company for whom l was acting, and
then deliberately brought suit to avoid
the fraudulent deed. l am sorry that
the Judge should view the testimony in
that light Eor it indicates that he
thinks l should be in an insane asylum,
as no sane man would have done such
an act, however low mis- moral stan
dard. / observe that Judge Gear did
not see fit to criticize the banker who
also advised Mr. Hustace to make a
! transfer of his property. All that /
did was in the interests of fair play to

one-third of the judgment, and my
principals did not want 10 see him pay

ment could be recovered from his CO.
