BOTH ARE INDICTED.
II. B. DICKINSON AND DR.. GADD
HELD FOR MURDER OF lR.
ENE BLYDENBuRG.

Des Moines, Oct. 10.-On the charge
OF murder in the second degree, DIR.
e. e. Gadd and H. B. Dickinson were
indicted by the Polk county grand
jury yesterday afternoon in connec-
tion with the death of Irene Blyden-
.burgh. Judge James A. Howe liked
the bonds at $4,000 each and both
were able to furnish surety last night
so neither was lodged in Jail.
The two important witnesses be-
fore the grand jury were Mrs. Jessis
Cook, with whom the girl first stayed
in the city, and who visited her
death room, and Mrs. NJ. Millias, in
whose home she died, and who, claims
to have been present when the oper.
alton which caused her death was per-
formed. The latter claims to have
held the girls hands while DIR. Gadd
performed the operation and says
DIR. Maple administered the an
esthetic.
Mrs. Cook says Dickinson told her
that the girl was with child and that
he wanted her to have the baby and
he would support it through life, but
she would not listen to it and says he
said: 81 will stand by the girl to
the end" Then she says when the
girl thought she was going to be sick
she gave her a card bearing two tel
ephone numbers and told her to call
that doctor in case she was i'll. She
says she called the doctor who, when
he came, introduced himself as DIR.
Gadd.

cos,Iv AT Treasure. Lost.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art IN
New York has lost in the San Francis
co fire nearly all of the paintings be-
Queathed to it by Coils L. Huntington,
says the New York Tribune. The fire
that swept over Mob hill early the 9th
er morning overwhelmed the old Coils
p. Huntington house in California
street, between Mason and Taylor
streets. Stored in the old house was
the greater part of the art treasures
collected by the railroad man. In ad.
dition to the pictures comprising the
Metropolitan legacy were nearly a
hundred others of lesser note. Mr.,
Huntington spent years in acquiring
this collection. When he died the best
pictures in his collection were willed te
the Metropolitan museum. A condition
in the will, however. left them In the
possession Of the family during the
lives of Mrs. Huntington and Archer
NJ. Huntington, and not until their
death could they be hung in the mu-
scum. Some pictures in the legacy
Mrs. Huntington brought east, and
they now hang in her Fifth avenue
house in New York and her house at
Throgs Neck, but they form only a
fraction of the entire collection left by
Mr.. Huntington, and the loss to the
museum represented by the destroyed
paintings will amount to many THU
sands.

The MingIing of Races.

In the course of many years of in
vestigation into the plant life of the
world. creating new forms, modifying
old ones. adapting others to new condl-
lions and blending still others, | have
constantly been impressed with the
similarity between the organization
and development of plant and human
life. While | have never lost sight or
the principle of the survival of the hit
fest and all that it implies as an eX-
planation of the development and prog
ress of plant life, have come to find
in the crossing Of species and in selec-
tion. wisely directed, a great and pow
erfuI instrument for the transforma-
tion of the vegetable kingdom along
lines that lead constantly upward. The
crossing of species is to me paramount.
Upon it, wisely directed and accompa-
MED by a rigid selection Of the best
and as rigid an exclusion Of the poor
est. rests the hope of all progress. The
mere crossing of species, unaccompa-
MED by selection, wise supervision, in
telligent care and the utmost patience,
Is not likely to result in marked good
and may result in vast harm. Unor-
ganized effort is often most vicious in
its misunderstanding.
