Senator Foraker asked witness a

wanted was not so much to hear a pre-

questions.
In reply witness said he believed
that the fixing of rates is legislative

the commission to the court the court
would not interfere unless the rate was
confiscatory.

HARPER DOOMED.
Operation on Noted Educator Reveals
Cancer Which Cannot Be
Removed.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Death has set its
seal upon President Harper. When the
head of the University of Chicago was
operated on at the Presbyterian hospital
Wednesday the surgeons discovered that
he was suffering from q malignant can
Ger, which is fast eating away his life.
The disease had spread SO far that no at
tempt was made to remove the cancerous
growth. The wound was closed and dur
ing the remainder of the great teachers
life the X-ray treatment will be used to
stay the ravages of the disease. At the
utmost DR.. Harper's life cannot span
more than a year. and one of the operat-
ing surgeons declared that six months is
the more likely period of his existence.
Wednesday night DR.. Harper suffered
great pain, though he slept at times. The
surgeons who attended him did not be-
lieve it best to impart to the patient the
sentence of death they had read at the
operation. DR.. Charles McBurney, the
famous New York surgeon, who oper-
ated on President Mckinley when he
was shot at Buffalo, welded the knife
at the operation. He was aided by Drs.
Frank Billings, Nicholas Sem, and A. D.
Bevans, the Chicago physicians and sur
geons who have had the case in hand
since, shortly after Dr. Harper's late OPP

According to an Abbey tradition,
which there seems no reason to disbe-
lieve. this pulpit occupied a prominent
position at the coronation of Edward
VI; and Archbishop Cranmer, who
happened to be the god-parent of the
young monarch, is said to have deliv-
cred his sermon on this occasion from
the wine glass pulpit.
Six years later 1t was his lot to use it
for very different occasion. This was
the funeral of the king. on which occa-
sion the archbishop must have felt that
his own doom was sealed.

dating from the beginning Of the reign
of Charles H., the pulpit is seen to ba

costly though it was, was altogether
out of harmony with its surroundings
1t has now disappeared, and has been

National Lawmaker, BY His Efforts

mission, Has Brought HIM
self Into the Limelight.

Dies N0iAes.-On account OF his recent
efforts to obtain legislation designed
to augment and extend the power OF the
interstAte commerce commission Rep
resentative William Peters Hepburn, OF
Iowa, chairman of the committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce, is con-
spicuously before the people of the
United States.
Mr.. Hepburn is one of the most inter-
esting men who have made readable
biography for themselves both within
and outside of the national congress.
For many years he has been the para
grapher's legitimate prey, and his ready
wit and willingness to exploit it have
made him popular with newspaper men.
Like the other Iowa statesman, Senator
Allison, Mr.. Hepburn is native of Ohio
having been born at Wellsville, Colum-
biana county, in 1888. When he was
eight years of age his mother and step
father removed to Iowa, which at that
time had not arrived at the dignity OF
statehood, and William proceeded at
once to grow up with the country.
The future congressman was Of sturdy
ancestry. and the struggle for mere ex.
istence which faced him as a boy
pioneer was met uncomplainingly. His
paternal grandfather was of Scotch.
Irish extraction, that noble strain
which has given so many illustrious
men and women to America. One great
grandfather who came as boy from
ireland, was member of congress from
Vermont, Kentucky and Arkansas. Al.
though he changed his residence fire..
quently and settled in dely-separate
localities. his ability sent him to the ma
tional legislature with unfailing regu'
larity. Another great-grandfather was

Rustad Wheat.

G. c. Dalrymple has just finished OK
perimentiug with rusted wheat Us seed
at q number of stations on the Dali
rymple farms in North Dakota. The
results bear out the tests of other OK
perimenters, and prove that seed wheat
from rusted fields may be used with
satisfactory results as to termination.
With the first of the good seed wheat
trains on the road from Minneapolis,
and three other trains soon to follow,
the question of the possibility of using
the rusted wheat for seed becomes inn
portant &
The Dalrymple tests were more ex.
tensive than any made heretofore At
Gardner, sixty kernels were sown and
only one failed to terminate.
At Casselton, out of fifty kernels
sown, forty-eight appeared, and at

convenient to employ more than one
putter having curves suitable for use
with different shots. The head of the
club may be formed of metal or wood
and curved throughout, being the same
or approximately the same thickness at
any point or the thickness may vary ac-
cording as it may be found desirable to
distribute the weight and to get the re-
ouired balance. OF the three figures on
