OR. wa r. HARPER DEAD.
Famous Educator Made . Brave
Fight for Life.

DIR. William Rainey Harper, president
Of the University of Chicago since its in
ception, one OF the foremost educators
and one of the most learned Hebrew
scholars of his time, died at Chicago
! Wednesday Of cancer of the intestines.
Three years ago Dr. Harper underwent
an operation for appendicitis and symp-
toms were then discovered which led the
surgeons TO suspect that graver troubles
might arise in the future, but they wsre
! then Of too indefinite a character to per-
nit OF an operation, and it was not until
Feb. %, 1905, that an operation was de-
cided upon to determine the nature and
cause Of severe abdominal pains FROM
which he had suffered for several month";
DIR. McBurney, Of New York, the IA
nous specialist in abdominal surgery,
came to Chicago expressly for the opera
ton. in which he was assisted by Drs.
Billings and Bevans, of Chicago. At the
outset Of the operation it was discovered
that DIR. Harper was suffering from a
concer at the head of the large intestine
and that the malady had progressed so
far that an operation which would have
removed it would have been fatal to the
patient. A brief consultation of the sur
geons resulted in the conclusion that
there was nothing more TO be done by
them, and the only hope of Dr. Harper
lay in remedial measures alone.
In a short time he left the hospital.
knowing well that he was a doomed man.
that his disease could not be cured and
that his death must ensue within short
time, no matter what was done in the eff
fort % avert it. No Drawer fight was
ever made by any man than by DR.. Har-
per.
He took up his duties at the university
as though nothing had happened or was
likely to happen to him. and he was at all
times apparently confident and cheerful.
The X-ray treatment was elaborated in
the effort to afford him relief and every
thing was done for him that the ingenu-
ty and skill of his physicians could sug-
gest.
Although DIR. Harper never deluded
himself with false hopes. he faithfully at
tempted whatever offered him Il hope Of
recovery. At times his condition would
improve and then would come relapses
that would leave him weaker than be-
fore. Despite all that was done for him
he lost steadily in all things save courage.
Several times the malady progressed in
such manner that small surgical opera
tons were necessary to afford him tenn
porary relief.

MILLIONS INVOLVED
PACKERS IN DANGER LOSING
VAST FOREIGN ORDERS.
Secretary Wilson Declares Foreign
Orders for Meat Worth S5O,0OO,-
600 Will Go Untitled Unless Con-
gress Provides for inspection.

\ Washington, ID. c., dispatch says:
Unless congress speedily grants the
emergency appropriation for $l35,00 re-
quested by me for additional inspectors
and microscopists it is probable that over
$5O,0O0,O00 worth of orders for Ameri-

This statement was made by Secretary
Wilson Thursday. Anticipating the high
rates Of duty on products emanating from
the United States imposed by the new
German tariff. which becomes effective on
March next, and Germany at the pres
ent time being in urgent need of meat
supplies, Secretary Wilson said that Ger

houses Of this country with orders
Speaking Of this condition of affairs he
referred to recent structures upon his ac-
ton in creating what was stated to be n
deficiency of $1350O0, the amount asked
by him, in alleged violation of the statute
on this subject enacted during the last
congress-.
grave injustice and do not credit me with
trying to relieve our packers from the
desperation in which they have been
placed by reason of the lack of a proper
inspecting force. He declared that he
had created no deficiency, but that on the
other hand he was asking only for an
emergency appropriation to meet the con-
ditions which an enormously increased
business of the last three months, with no
increase in the inspection force, had Gre
ated.
Il am strongly in favor of having the
packers pay all expenses of Inspections
continued the secretary, ''such inspections
to be.under federal supervision, of course.
In fact, they voluntarily have expressed
willingness to do this, and in the pres
ent instance have offered to do il, but
there is no law 10y which such an arrange.
ment can be made"

DENSED FORM.
Board Sescinds Action-New Turn
in Case of Attorney Kelley-Beadle
County Commissioners Do Not
Want Prosecution Dropped.

A Huron special says: \ few days
since the board of county commissioners
passed resolutions alleging that the pros
ecutions against G. A. Kelley on charges
of having forged certificates of acknoWi-
edgment, uttered forged deeds, ETC., as
shown in six indictments returned against
him by the grand jury, were Instituted
by political enemies of Mr.. Kelley and
that the fact that on the hearing OF three
of the charges two resulted i'll acqulttal
and on the other the jury failed to agree
indicated that it was useless to continue
proceedings further. and recommended
that the cases be dismissed. The board
also stated that it would pay no more
bills contracted in the prosecution of the
cases against Mr.. Kelley, and directed
the auditor to notify Judge Whiting, OF
the Ninth circuit, and Judge Gatfy, who
tried the cases, and also the states attor-
ney OF this city, of the action of the
board.
When the action became known the
board was severely criticised, many be-
lieving that no such action was warrant
ed, and so pronounced was the sentiment
against the proceeding that the board has
adopted resolutions resembling the former
resolution and directing all reference to
the same be expunged from the records.
This last action will be supplemented by
q statement by the board explaining their
reasons for adopting the first resolution.
Indictments against Mr.. Kelley are still
in the hands of the court for disposition.
