EDITOR News Il am remind
ed by the label on my paper that
it Is time for me to send you a
dollar again for the renewal of
my subscription, which now do;
for we do not want to miss it's
weekly visits.
Since my last letter to you, we
have moved from Sperrv, Iowa,
where we had been for two
years, to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, the
seat of Iowa Wesleyan Universi-
ty, for the purpose of completing
my college course. On the 10Th
of last September college opened
for the year, and 1 entered the
college of liberal arts, taking up
the classical course; and Mrs.
Decker entered the conservatory
of music. Since that time we
have done little else but "grind. "
On the whole the work is gong
nicely, considering the fact that
l had been out of school since
1895.
Now, word concerning our
college. The Iowa Wesleyan Uni
versity, as it's name will show, is
a Methodist school. situate at the
county seat of Henry county, a
town of something over 1000 In
habitants, without saloon or a
licensed drug store. Generally
speaking, a right respectable
town, in one of the many garden
spots of our great state. The col
lege, not the largest in the state,
is yet centre of activity and in
fluence for Southeastern Iowa.
1t is quite well equipped tor a
small college. Besides the nam
building there is the chapel, a
large and beautiful building the
Elizabeth Hershey Hall, a more
beautiful one; and the conserva.
tory of music. There Is also a
German college with two build.
ing on the east end of the cam.
pus. This is under a different
administration, but the two WORK
in cooperation.
Besides our work here I fill a
student appointment at West
Burlington, a suburb of Burling-
ton, some 90 miles from here.
West Burlington is town OF
about 1000 inhabitants. Unfortu-
nately it has saloon, but fortu-
nately it has seven churches. l
think the saloon, however, pros
pers better IN It's. way than either
of the churches. The G. B. & @.
car shops and the Murray Iron
Works are situated at West Bur.
lington, employing an aggregate
of about 800 men of almost all ma
tions on the earth: Germans and
Swedes predominant.
But my letter is growing too
long. With best wishes for you
and Your large family of readers,

Yours sincerely,

DIES VICTIM TO SCIENCE
Peculiar Disease Caused by X.Rays
Attacks C.. M. Daily.

Years-Both Arms Were Arnputated
But Death Finally Claimed Marty.

slant exposure to the N-rays in per-
fecting the microscope. Clarence NJ.
Daily, an electrical engineer, died at
his homo. No. 100 Clinton street, East
Orange, n. ]. Seven years ago Mr..
Daily became Thomas y. 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 fiuorescent materials such us
calcium tungstate.
After more than two years 4 cancer
GUS growth appeared Oh nally's left
wrist, and he had undergone no less
than seven surgical operations III the
course Of which as the growth reap
pearcd again and again both arms were
amputated. Throughout his suffcrinGs
he maintained his mental faculties. His
brain was active until 4 few hours OF
his death.
Edison himself felt ill 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 inlamed, 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 OF his hands. But new
skin did not spread from the minute

was unsuccessful; it seemed that the

Der election.
In accordance with his decision, an
nounced some time ago, to withdraw if
the decision went against him, S. -.
Cook, Stalwart candidate for Governor,
was expected to resign. He had a con-
ference here with Senator Spooner, but
he said that he had not then decided
whether or not to withdraw. 1t is
known that he will and that eX-GOv-
ernor Edward Scofiefd will be appoint
ed by the Stalwart State Central Com

court, who is La Follette's brother-in-

nominee for Governor, and was to re-
strain Secretary of Stare Houser from
certifying to the County Clerks the
names of the La Toilette candidates as
the regular Republicans
In answering the suit the Governors
followers commended that the proceed.
ingS of the convention which renom.
mated La Toilette were regular, that
the convention was the only body with
power to name candidates, and further
that the court had no jurisdiction IN
the matter.

asserts the right of the court to con-
slider a controversy of so grave q char.
acter and of such public Importance"
and proceeds to base its decision on
this section from the Wisconsin STAT

be the regular convention or caucus OF;
the same political party, preference H.
designation shall be given TO the NOM
nations of the n certified by the
committee which had been officially
certified to be authorized to represent
the party"
The decision then goes on to uphold
the right of the State committee chosen
at the convention Of 1902 to decide
which of the two Republican conven'
tons of, 1904 is regular.
