Agony at Cedar Rapids.
Special to Times-Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Sept. 2S.-After under
going an operation and suffering the
most intense agony, Chris Book or
Christ Book, a man evidently about
40 years of age, and said to have lived
at 406 Austin avenue, Chicago, Ill.
died at st. Luke's hospital. Coroner
King is making an investigation of the
matter, and the probabilities are that
further investigation will be prosecuted
at Chicago and Sioux City.
At a late hour Wednesday night DR..
Frank s.. Skinner of Marion received a
telegram to meet the west-bound Mill
waukee passenger. arriving in Marion
about midnight, and take a patient in
charge of DR.. McNeal Of Delmar juno
ton, to the hospital. On the arrival of
the train he found the man to be Book
or Beck, his exact name not being GER
tain. He was suffering great pain. He
placed him on the street car and
brought him to st. Luke's hospital in
this city. where he at once operated on
him. 1t was believed at first that the
operation would place him out of dan
ger. But yesterday he showed alarm
ing symptoms, and continued to sink
until he passed ava at 3 o'clock.
The fellow was a member of a crew
Of house raisers and movers in the
employ of Grove Bros, of Chicago, and
with the men was en- route to Sioux
City, where they were to raise an i'm
mense brick building. understood to be
one Of the leading hotels in that city.
AS near as can be ascertained just be-
fore leaving Chicago, he became en-
gagged in a row with another man, but
whether a member of the same crew
or some one else could not be ascer-
tanned, and was kicked in the stom-
ach.
At the time he suffered great pain,
but did not think it was serious, and
1t was not until the train was nearing
Marion that his condition was re-
garded with any alarm. Book had but
little to say about the matter. No rel
ative.s can be located, and but little is
known about him or the trouble which
resulted in the inf1iction of the fatal
injuries. No member Of the crew
stopped off with him, but the foreman
the crew stated that his firm would
be responsible for expenses incurred.
A telegram to Chicago, however, brings
the reply that they will not be re-
sponsible for the same.

BY PRODUCTS ARE WASTED
Mills and Factories of British Column
bia Destroy Valuable
Material.

In the new and rapidly developing
country of British Columbia, Consul
l.. F.. Dudley. of Vancouver, finds in
commercial enterprises degree of
wastefulness that appeals to one who
has been accustomed to the economical
methods of older communities. This
leads him to write that but little at
tempt is made to utilize by-prOducts in
any of the enterprises in the province.
says Bradstreet's. MIR. Dudley calls at
tention to a few of the opportunities
that exist for making fortunes from
materials that are at best thrown away,
more often disposed of at considerable
cost of labor and expense. Thus there
are in the province from 1000 to 800
coke ovens and the number is constant
ly increasing. yet there is no attempt
made to utilize the coal tar, which is
available in large quantities. Persons
familiar with the numerous valuable
articles Of commerce which coal tar
yields can but wonder that some chem
list with capital does not seize upon the
opportunity presented. There are now
many smelters at work night and day
in several portions of British Columbia
phur, which must be disposed of before
the ores can be successfully treated.
The ores are roasted, and the sulphur
is vapor;,.ed and allowed to pOllute the

great demand for sulphur and sulphur
