Congressman-ele Kennedy of the
First district has written Governor
Cummins a congratulatory telegram
acknowledging that it was the gov

him. This is evidently not to the taste
Of the Burlington Hawkeye, which
sneers at the manly acknowledgment.
The Hawkeye is undergoing siege of
sour stomach. There is no doubt that
the governors appeal to First district
progressives was the plank on which
Kennedy swan ashore, but it naturally
hurts that paper and the interests that
control it to have First district con-
gresham acknowledge any debt other

ATeRR,BLE DEATH RECORD.

A lecturer recently startled a Mar
{. shalltown audience with the statement
that consumption kills annually nearly
1000 people in the state OF Iowa alone
To be exact he read from statistics
the grand total of 1s41. and showed
that consumption killed more people
than ever died from smallpox, scarlet
fever appendicitis, Group. peritonitis
dinhtheria and typhoid fever combin-
ed. Here were enumerated practically
all Of the dreaded diseases and yet the
total annual mortality as given was
only 1,411 as compared to 1S4l for the
white plague. The revelation was
startling.
What is more to the point this
{ physician, lecturing in behalf OF state
association organized for the suppress
sion of tuberculosis, asserted thal
nearly every case was either durable
or preventable. Consumption, he said,
was an infectious disease. If people
only knew how to take care OF those
afflicted they could suppress most OF
the infection and If they understood
the fresh air cure most cases could
be cured when taken in hand in the
incipient stages.
Towns have been known to build
detention hospitals for smallpox pa
tients and as the result smallpox Kills
only seventeen annually as compared
to 1871 for consumption.
No more dreaded disease can enter
home than scarlet fever or diphtheria
yet the mortality of the one is 81 and
the other 253 for the state as COM
pared to 1871 for consumption.
Typhoid, which reigns epidemic at
times and blights whole communities
is the most fatal of all next to con-
sumption, but typhoid is credited With
only $40 as compared to 1871 for con-
sumption.
The legislature, this winter will con-
slider further plans for the establish
ment of a sanitarium for tubercular
patients. It will provide the fresh air
cure, which has been SO successful
in Pennsylvania and New York states.
No greater good could be accomplished
by our government than the saving Of.
human lives from the nav OF this hid
den monster. In the meantime people
everywhere should learn how to avoid
infection. The professional lecturer In
sists that consumption is caught"
from infection more often than it is
transmitted from parent to offspring
and, if so, too much care can not be
taken to educate the public. as to the.
prevention Of consumption.

The Grundy Center Democrat has ar
rived at the conclusion that sit is high

to the fact that there is something
more than Canadian reciprocity behind
the opposition to the governor. What
is it? The question is easily answer

often unjust, but their hearts are right

public. They want no dictations. no
blacklists at the hands of any organi-
whether of capital or labor or
secret societies. They stand for the
square deal even for congressman"
The Davenport Democrat hopes that
Mr.. Hamilton, who succeeds Major
Lacey as congressman from the Sixth
Iowa district, will prove as much the
friend of the Iowa birds as Major Lac
ey has been. 1t may sound like going
after small game, continues the Dem
ocrat, but there is no room to doubt
the statement that the practical extinc-
ton of native birds in this state is the
reason of the multiplication of myriads
of insect pests.'

TWELVE YEARS FOR BELcHER
Former Mayor of Paterson, N. j., Gets
Heavy Sentence.

Paterson, N. j., Aug. 4.-William II.
Belcher, who while mayor Of this city
absconded a year ago, and who sur
rendered himself on Monday last, was
sentenced to IL years imprisonment
in the state prison at Trenton on a
charge of embezzlement.
The court room was crowded with
Belcher's former friends and political
associates, some of whom had suffered
by his embezzlements. There was no
taking of evidence. Six indictments,
each alleging embezzlement, were read,
and counsel for Beksher entered a plea
10 the court for clemency and declared
that Belcher's surrender and failure TO
contest the case were mitigating cir
cumstances.
Justice Scott, in his review of the
case, said that Belcher's peculations
had left some of his victims penniless,
and that he saw no reason for exercis-
ing clemency. Sentence was then i'm
posed.
Belcher disappeared from this city
about a year ago while he was mayor.
He was alleged to have embezzled
$1OO, 900 to $15O,OO0 from personal
friends and from the Manchester Build
ing and Loan association, which was
forced to suspend business. No trace
of the missing man was discovered By
the authorities until he appeared al
the county Jail Monday night and vol
unfairly surrendered. He had only ST.
in his possession, and declared that ht
had suffered great hardships during hi
absence. He said that he had Travelled

running rapidly in order to gain the
turnout ahead. Both motormen stuck
to their posts, and Esser still had his
hand on the brake when released from
the wreck. He died an hour later at
a hospital.
