IAN M'LAREN" IS DEAD.
DIR. JOHN WATSON SUCCUMBS TO
BLOOD POISON CAUSED
BY TONSILITIS.
Was Known the World Over as Philan-
thropist, Writer, Thinker,
Lecturer and Educator.

BURLINGTON, Ia, May 6.-[Spe-
cial. l-Dr. John Watson, the noted Eng
lish writer and lecturer, died at Mount
Pleasant today of blood poisoning caused
by tonsiliCis. He had been on lecture
tour of the United States for some
weeks. When he reached this state he
became SO ill that on April % he was
compelled to take to his bed. Mrs. Wat
sou was with him when the end came.
DR.. Watson arrived in New York from
England ON February last, and the fol-
lowing day occupied the pulpit of the
Fifth Avenue Baptist church. where he
was warmly greeted and expressed his
qualification for what he termed AN eX-
traordinary tribute to visiting clergy
man." After leaving New York Dr.
Watson went to Ottumwa, Ia, and on
April 25 it was announced from there
that he had been taken seriously i'll
with tonsilitis. that he had been re-
moved to hospital and that all his en-
gagements had been cancelled. A sud
den change for the worse took place May
g.
Poisoned by Tonsilitis.
DR.. Watson came to Mt. Pleasant on
April %, from Minneapolis to deliver q
lecture to the students of the Iowa Wes-
leyan university. En- route DR.. Watson
the date for the lecture. The illness
which was declared to be tonsilitis, pro-
crossed fayorably. Last Monday and
Tuesday the patient was able to be up
and around and transacted some bust
ness. Wednesday an abscess formed on
the right ear. The system absorbed the
pus, and in twenty-fOur hours developed
serious symptoms.
Wife Finds Husband Dead.
Blood poisoning set in and on Saturday
other assesses started to form in the
left ear and throat The patients con-
dition was aggravated by a bad attack
of rheumatism. This morning the doc
tors sent for a Chicago specialist who
arrived this afternoon. DR.. Watson's
end was sudden and unexpected and was
FASTENED by weak heart. His wife,
who was his constant companion in his
last illness, left the room at II o'clock
this morning. She was gone about ff-
teen minutes, and returning found her
husband lifeless.
Life of Dr.. Watson.
Dr. Watson or Ian McLaren, as he
was popularity called, was born in Man
ningtree, Essex, England in 1850. He
went to the common schools of his vii
lage and later to Edinburgh university.
He was licensed to the church of Scot
land in 1874 and his first charge as 81
clergyman was that of the Free church
at Logiealmond Pertshire. In 1877 he
went to Glasgow and in 1880 to Liver
pool. He had begun to write by this
time and when he began his work i'll
Liverpool he was known throughout
England.

TOO MUCH POWER.

The Wall Street Journal says that E. H. Hartman is, perhaps, the most powerful individual in the United States not even except ing president. The Journal ex- plains: His power Is absolute over about 15, ,000 miles of railroad having a capitalization of about S1, 100, 0,00O, ,000. His authority is very large over 13,000 additional miles of road having 8 capitaliz- ation of $1,200, 1000, ,000, while he has a potent voice in the manage ment of 38, ,0OO miles of road hay ing a capitalization of $1,600, ,000, 0. Thus directly and indirectly his power extends over one-t third of the railroad transportation in- terests of the United States, and of very considerable part of this he Is an autocrat, and by reason of his autocratic powers over the Union Pacific, and especially his unrestricted power over it's fn- ances, his influence over the re- maining portion, as we'll as over the financial markets, is increas- ed. 2

KANSAS ABOLIsHES HANGING

Kansas, which has never had a legal hanging, probably will never have one.
 A bill has been passed by the legislature abolishing capital pun ishment. The bill now needs only the governors signature to be- come 8 law, and there is no doubt that he will approve the measure, as he has expressed his disap- proyaI on several occasions of legal murder. " The Kansas law provides that the governor has to sign the death warrant. This no governor of Kansas has ever done, hence death prisoners have gone to prison for life.
