Shooting Accident In Porter.

DR.. McManus received a call by tele-
phone Sunday afternoon to hasten to
the town of Porter to attend to young
man who was accidentally shot The
victim was Frank Brigham, 10 years of
age, living at GAINESVILLE, who with three
companions was camping in the vicinity
of Gibbs Lake. He was preparing to
embark in small row boat and was
standing on the dock with the barrel of
the loaded weapon in one hand, when
the stock slipped and the hammer strik-
ing against the edge of the planking, ex-
ploded the cartridge. The whole charge
ploughed across the back of the boys
neck just below the base of the brain.
He reeled and fell into the water and
was with difficulty extricated by the
companion, who, after getting him on
shore, did what he could to stop the flow
of blood from the ugly wound, and sent
one who answered his cries for help after
a rig and a physician. Much time
elapsed before the arrival of wagon in
which the unfortunate young man was
finally conveyed to the D. Linsay Earle
farm and the arrival of Dr. McManus
The latter found a wound big enough to
lay ones hand in upon his arrival and it
was necessary~to take twenty stitches to
get the lacerated flesh in place. 1t was
several hours before the young man re-
gained consciousness. Monday he was
removed to GAINESVILLE and taken to the
Palmer hospital but his condition is
still regarded critical.

AN INSANE INCREASE.
Nearly Three Hundred More Than
> a Year Ago.

A net increase of 27S insane patients
in the state hospitals during the past
year bears witness to the wisdom OF the
board of control and the legislature in
providing for the new cottages at
Cherokee and Clarinda which are in
course of construction. There now are
$3.50 insane persons in the four hospi-
tails. The number in October 1908, was
1902.
The number of inebriates is falling
off. Whether due to the strict policy OF
the state in the treatment of this class
of.persons or the lessening popularity
of tho institutions among district judges
is not revealed by the figures. But the
total number of dipsies in the hospitals
in October 1908, was 107, while now
they number 81.
There has been net increase in the
number of wards of the state during the
year of about 100. There were on Nov
1, 1884.

The doctors of Iowa are now prepared
much better than ever before to fight
bacteria, through the state bacteriologi-
cal laboratory established by act of the
legislature in connection with the State
University of Iowa City, and having
Couture stations all over the state.
Prof. Henry Albert, head of this depart
ment, now reports that he has over 400
of these cultured stations established
in the state and will have as many more
before the middle of next year. The
plan is to have these stations in drug
stores and doctors Offices, where the
bacteria may be collected and forward
ed to the state laboratory, where crltl-
caf examination of the same may be
made to determine the character OF the
bacteria. The state board of health has
charge of the work and has prepared
the regulations under which this work
is to be conducted. The physicians Of
the state believe that it will be Of in
measurable benefit in preventing dis
eases and especially in putting stop t.
epidemics.

HEpBURN's JUDGMENT BAD.

The Register and Leader in saying
that it docs not know whether Con-
gresham Hepburn is right or not in his
opposition to tho Quarles-Cooper inter-
state bill, puts us in mind when Mr..
Hepburn and his district differed in his
opposition to the Reagan interstate bill
and it cost Mr.. Hepburn his seat IN
congress. In that case time proved
that Mr.. Hepburn was right and the
Reagan bill disappeared because it was
impractical. The Register and Leader
saws he does not represent the senti-
ment of his district. Perhaps not, but
we believe the district has such con-
fidence in his (Mr. Hepburn's) Judgment
that it is willing to trust to his judg-
ment in the matter. Just now public
sentiment is aroused on the question OF
additional legislation on interstate rail-
road regulation, and it is likely to favor
most anything. Very often public SEN
timent repudiates what public senti-
ment favored only year before.-Vin-
ton Eagle.
Well, but was Hepburn's Judgment
good after all?
The Cullom bill was only passed alter
the country had been thoroughly arous-
ed on the question of transportation
Colonel Hepburn opposed any fegisla-
tioa whatever, but favored the Cullon
bill in preference to the Reagan bill, sc
did all the railroad companies, and the
Cullom bill (the present law was not
even passed until after Hepburn and
scores more of obstructionists had gone
done under the avalanche Of votes thai
protested against their do-nothlas
policy.
The Cullom bill contained many goot
features and the most important OF thes'
The very agitation we are now havin,
ls sufficient evidence that the Cullon
bill has not been effective and does no
reach and correct the wrong which tn,
people complain of-Creston American

delivery. For the fiscal year upon
which we have now entered s2O, s16, 900

in existence at the end of the fiscal
year on June 80 last, 9,446 new routes
having been put into operation during

of about 800 routes month.

LARRABEE's CHRISTMAS LETTER

The News, of Arlington, Fayette

write Christmas letter for the paper
The governor addressed tho following
to the editor in answer:
"Dear Editor News:
You asked me to write an article for
your Christmas issue of the News
Perhaps cannot do better than to ask
your readers few questions:
What is the greatest obstacle to our
progress in civilization?
LIS there any limit to business deyeI-
opement and achievements?
Which is the more potent force at our
state capitol, it's 1O4 saloons or it's 80
churches?
What are the greatest corrupting in
f1uenees that hover about our legisla-
tive bodies?.
Should the acceptance of tips from
corporations by public officers be per-
mitted?
Should not a public officer with a
railroad pass, an express or telegraph
frank in his pocket feel sheepish?
ls there an honest or legitimate ar
gument against President Roosevelt's
recommendation for increasing the
efficiency of the Interstate Commerce

The Port Arthur fleet was said to be
worth in money, before the beginning
of the war, s15o,oOo,oOo. It's probably
worth now just what it will bring for
old junk although it is possible that some
OF the vessels may be raised and put in
commission again. But the $15O,OOO,OOO
that the fleet represented is all gone, SO
far as Russia is concerned. And this is
but one item in the enormous cost of
the great struggle that is being waged

VI miniiesUCa, IL was ascerUa1neu tna1
the constitutional amendment abolishine
the grand jury system was carried by
l2l,oo0 majority. By this amendment
the state legislature is directed to
enact laws abolishing the grand jury.
The question before the legislature is
mandatory, and after the passage of the
act it will not be possible to indict I'M
der suspicion unless contributory evil
'dence is at hand to warrant the prose-
cutting attorney to take action. 1t has
been held in this state as we'll as in
others, that the grand jury system evil
dencs presented to the grand jury has
been more farce and that the evidence
presented to the grand jury has been
the evidence of the prosecuting attor-
ney and the grand jury might as we'll
have been abolished.

FAVORS FOUR YEARS TERM.

The next STEP" said Senator G.. N
Titus, of Muscatine, "is to make the
terms Of county officers four years in
length, SO that half may be elected at
one biennial election and the other half
at the next one, just as now We elect
about half, annually.
"Ihe legislature of 1905 will have this
question before it, and l hope to see the
four year rule adopted in this state.
'There can be no objection to the four
year term; if the officer is good one he
should be free from the annoyance of
reelection every two years, and we now
generally concede second term, at
least to county officers. 1t would re-
duce the expense of elections still fur
Their. That one Of the arguments for
the abolition of the elections in the odd
numbered years. Electing half the
officers at alternate biennial elections
would reduce the number Of candidates
on the official ballot, reducing its size
and expense.
MY judgement is that tho matter
will be placed before the coming legis-
lature in strong way and that the
assembly will adopt the four year plan
for the county Offices. We now have
many three year terms among the state
officers and that has worked we'll: in
effect, we have four-year terms in
county offices; it will be advantageous
to provide for it by law.-Register and
Leader.
