The body of julius Dresser, who
died in the county Jail Saturday morn
ing of an overdose of morphine, most
likely taken with intent to suicide, re
mains at the undertaking establish
ment unclaimed. Up to noon today
no word had been received from any
relatives or friends, and kilograms
sent to Denison and Manning, where
the deceased was supposed to have
relatives, have met with no response
whatever
The man lived in this city a num-
Der of years ago and has been remem-
bered and identified by a number of
people here. He worked on the high
school building at the time of its cree
ton and was here about one year at
that time.
No further word has been received
from the girl in Marshalltown who
wrote the letters to Dresser. Every
effort possible is being put forth by
Coroner Chas. Foehlinger to commu-
nicate with relatives, but thus far his
work is without result.

He is an old soldier, draws small
pension, and can not be sent to the
county farm. Having no means OF
sustenance and no one appearing to
accept the responsibility for his be-
haVior, it devolved upon the commits
sioners to place him in the hands OF
the sheriff pending the hearing of the
case in the district court. The old
man claims that he has been misrep-
resented and abused and made an .ap-
peal from the finding of the insanity
board, stating that he could make
satisfactory showing to the court.

Coroner Chas. Foehlinger, on order

cate the relatives of the deceased.
Failing in this he telegraphed to the
health officers at Des Moines in ac-
cordance with the requirements Of the
law. A reply came yesterday to have
the body shipped to Des Moines.

Republican Differences.

The Virginia Republicans seem to %
divided In allegyance between Congress-
man slemp and Chairman Agnew. each
OF whom aspire to leadership.
Our Impression has been that the Pres
ident had decreed that Mr.. Stomp should
control the Federal patronage In this
state. but obviously that Is not the case,
II Mr.. slemp had that power he would
be better able to guide the rank and file,
AS 1t Ia. 1t is possible he may be over
whelmed In the Republican State con-
yent!on by his rivals followers
The prizes to bS commended for are the
state organization and the positions az
delegates at large from Virginia to the
Republican national convention. and the
outgiyings OF tho newspapers are that the
Agpew faction will win, though not with
out a sharp contest. However, we 10 not
expect that any great row will occur. A
word from Washington may come, and
il SO 1t will act like oil OH troubled

Cost of Laborers.

No man knows what the cost OF the
Panama cnnal is going to be-
Some estimates place It as high as
slTo,ooo,ooO. It may be more; It may be
less. Much. OF course, depends upon the
cost OF the labor employed. 1t is doubted
If sufficient American labor can be- hired
for this work,
In the first place. American labor Is
pretty we'll employed Mt home. In the
next place. our laborers have dread OF
the isthmian climate. particularly as they
would be compelled to work in the ground
and often times in wet spots. It Is
thought, however, that large numbers OF
laborers might be gotten from Porto Rico
and the Philippines. Tho former are re-
puted to be fine workers. It Is also said
that agents OF the Japanese government,
or of Japanese companies, have been
looking into the question of bringing
numerous laborers from that country.
Chinese laborors could be gotten also, we
suppose, but whether our government
would permit the employment of Chinese
or Japanese Is q question!
A vast deal will depend upon the wages
offered laborers and upon the provision
tho government makes to safeguard their
health while building the canal.
That the necessary labor will DO gotten
we have no doubt. but the matter Of cost
! Is problemntical, we think.
The cost Of an isthmian canal, however,
never has disturbed tho minds of the
| American people much. Having satisfied
themselves that It was needed, they re-
solved that 1t should DO built, at one or
the other places declared to be suitable

Let the classification employed in the

distinct that he who runs may read and

ought any organization to be enrolled
