The first three weeks of January
were unusually dry in this locality,
consequently wheat and rye fields
are devoid of that living green they
generally present atthis time of
year. During the night of the Goth
inst, and the day following, it
rained almost necessarily; con-
sequently the water in the streams
was higher than it has been for
several months past. During the
next night and on the day follow
ing, much snow fell, and although
much of it melted as fast as it
struck the earth enough remained
to cover it to a greater depth than
it has been covered by snow at
any other time this winter. A
severe cold snap followed. For
tunately wheat and rye were
adequately protected by the snow
and, since the ground was not
frozen under the snow, the cereals
named could grow well wherever
the plants were still alive.
R. G. Crocker, who left here on
the 22d ult., to spend the winter in
California, arrived "safe and
sound" at home on the 9th inst.,-
just eighteen days after his de-
parture from Goodwater. "Home,
sweet home' is the best after all.
John George Yount, who re-
Gently died at his home near Iron

mise is deplored by his many
friends in this section, who cordi-
ally sympathize with the bereaved
relatives in this, the hour Of their
affection.

SAYS Mr.. Folk, "Were I COVER
nor, | should see to it that cor
ruption at the State capital and all

punished, not concealed" Which
is an underhand insinuation that
corruption at the State capital"
ETC., is being, and has been, con-
cealed by the Governors and other
officials of Missouri. Either that,
or the assertion is insipid and
meaningless, self-vaunting and
self-righteous. Idon't think much
comment is necessary, here; only,
if Folks insinuation be true, then
every honest man must blush to
call himself Democrat and resolve
to forsake an organization which
has bred such a contingent of dis
honest servants. Out upon him

Honest Journalism,s influence.

That a clean, honest newspaper ex-
erts an influence far wider and more
forceful than would the individual
opinions of the editor if set forth in
any other form cannot be denied, says
the Houston Chronicle. The public
treats it's utterances as purely imper-
sonal, and involuntarily and in a large
measure unconsciously d~ifferentiates
the editorial from the individual who
writes it, even if, which is rarely the
case, the writer be known. The in
f1uence of any newspaper, so far as
its editorial columns are concerned, de-
ponds absolutely upon the fairness,
business and honesty of it's treatment
of men and measures. A newspaper
may possess every material, mechan-
ical and financial equipment and have
an extensive circulation, but unless
the public believes its editorial columns
are not for sale, and that they contain
nothing that does not reflect the hon
est convictions of it's editorial manage
ment, fearlessly and fairly expressed,
it will have no influence on the public
mind.

DIES VICTIM TO SCIENCE
Peculiar Disease Caused by x-Rays
Attacks c. M. Daily.
Was Edison's Chief Aid For Over Sixteen
Years-Both Arms Were Amputatet
Suit Death Finally Claimed Martyr.

New York City:-As a result of con.
slant exposure to the X-rays in per:
fecting the Horoscope, Clarence NJ:
Daily, an electrical engineer, died at
his home, No. 103 Clinton street, East
Orange, N. ]. Seven years ago Mr..
Daily became Thomas A. Edison's chief
assistant in the experimental depart
ment of the Edison laboratory. West
Orange. In pursuing their expert
ments Mr.. Dally's hands and arms
were continually exposed to the Roent-
gen rays, and he constantly handled
highly fuoreScent materials such as
calcium tungstate.
After more than two years a cancer
Gus growth appeared on Daily's left
wrist, and he had undergone no less
than seven surgical operations in the
curse of which as the growth reap
peared again and again both arms were
amputated. Throughout his sufferillgs
he maintained his mental faculties. His
brain was active until a few hours of
his death.
Edison himself felt i'll effects from
similar exposure. But he is convinced,
and Daily was assured, that the danger
from the rays does not exist when they
are employed as in ordinary medical
practice.
The first indication of the affection i'll
Dally's case, which has intensely inter-
.ested the medical profession, was when
his hands became infiamed. then de-
nuded, as if he had been severely
scalded. In February, 1902, more than
$50 pieces of skin. taken from his legs,
were grated OH his hands. But new
skin did not spread from the minute
islands thus implanted; the operation
was unsuccessful; it seemed that the
vitality of his hands was lost.
After both hands had been amDu-
tated Mr.. Daily gained greater courage.
With the healing of his wounds he APP
peared to be recovering and sought to
continue his work. Artificial hands
were provided, but within a week lie
succumbed. The mysterious disease
had affected his system. From that
time he lost strength. Greater compii-
cations followed, and finally his physi-
clans saw plainly he could not live.
Mr.. Daily was thirty-nine years old.
He enlisted in the United States Navy
when he was eighteen, and became
chief gunner on the Enterprise. He
had been connected with Edison for
sixteen years. A widow and two sons
survive him.
