Judge Hustled.

The funeral Of Judge, James L.
nusted, for several years one Of the
judges Of this Judicial district, oc-
Cured last Sunday in Dubuque and
was largely attended. "The death
OF Judge Hustled" says the Times
journal, sis loss to the bar and to
the community. He was a good
lawyer, a good Judge and a good
citizen. Dubuque knew him first
as Judge, he having been elected
to the district bench before the
d ivision of the district
and when a citizen of Blackhawk
county. Upon the creation of the
present Dubuque district he was re-
elected. AS a Judge he was noted
for his promptness in dispatching
business, but more especially for his
willingness to meet and decide the
issue squarely and to face and dis
charge the responsibilities Of his
position, even to the extent of direct
ing the grand jury's attention 10
specific instances Of violation OF
law. Off the bench he exhibited
the same courage and his speech at
the mass meeting following the
street car strike in 1903 will long
be remembered. He subordinated
his ambition for political preferment
to his duty as a citizen and through
all the mutations of parties and OF
public sentiment he exercised the
right to speak his own convictions
and to call his soul his own.

1t is interesting to note the rate
at which new theories Of medical
science are traversing those that
prevailed a few years ago. Once
when the consumptive was told to
seek change Of climate he checked
his trunk for Florida or some other
subtropical section. But advanced
views upon the nature and treatment
of the disease have materially chang
ed that. Dryness is much more
important condition than warmth
The patient can be protected against
cold, but against moisture in the
climate there is no defense except
to run away from it. The full force
of extreme expires s on of the reac-
lion is illustrated by the fact that a
