The Farmer and rubercvIo.,,.

IOWA CITY. Ia, Dec. z.%Special.S
DR.. E H. Hirschner, superintendent OF the
State tuberculosis hospital at this place,
has been quoted to the effect that a large
percentage Of the patients under his treat
ment lave come from the farm and there
contracted the disease from Infected stock.
DR.. Hirschner states hat while II is true
that many of the patients at the sana-
torium are farmers, the impression given
that their occupation was a dangerous one
on that account is very misleading. TT
should be born in mind" he said, that
Iowa has a great many more people en-
gagged in farming and stock raising than in
any other occupation and for this reason
one would naturally expect to find many
farmers among our patients. There have
been some cases reported where tubercu-
losis has been contracted by persons hand
ling stock, such as loading them on and off
cars, but the ordinary farmers life is quite
free from any risks of this kind"
The last of the appropriation of 10000 for
the state sanatorium made by the last leg
islature is being expended in the building
of a small cottage large enough to accom-
modate eight patients. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that a new appropriation and a gen.
erous one will be made by the legislature
which convenes in January.

OMAHA, Dec. ALTO the Editor of The
Bee: As a resident of this city since 1886
l feel at this time greatly rcJoiced to think
that our first corn exposition has proven.
not only a great success. but that the
managers of the same were not obliged
or allowed to introduce any questionable
or disreputable side shows same as has
usually been done in ills city heretofore.
At IA republican club meeting a few
months ago one OF the speakers Gan ex-
member Of city governne nt) alluded to the
Kings Highway" annex Of Ak-sar-Ben
and denounced tic II anagement of same in
vigorous terms. stating that recently at
Detroit, Mich. the people arose and drove
such an exhibit from their city.
Now, Mr., Editor, ] have always lived IN
good sized cities and can stand consider
able, but when platform orators (spiolers)
gre allowed to beseech little children Of
10 and u years of age for their dimes by
the cry Come and see rIen, women and
children smoking that deadly drug, opium
/ must draw the line. r
II ese little boys and girls upon entering
the "opium den,' were Of course aston
ished by only seeing a wi lite man in Chi
nese garb smoking; not only were they
deceived by promises OF seeing several
smokers, but were rendered. in some cases,
almost sick by the effusions of the solitary
performer. This, l remember. was called
the only educational show upon the
grounds.
The above was not the only objection
able booth last September, and l do hope
that until the board of governors changes
the management of Kings Highway no
more Decent admission members will be in
evidence. OBSERVER.

BRYAN STILL IN COMMAND
Nebraskan Says He Cannot ReIinquIsh
Democratic Leadership at Behest
of Opposition.

UNIONTOWN, Pa, Dec. %. - with
"A Battle over, the War Begun" Us his
text, William Jennings Bryan tonight de-
clared that the democratic party must
continue its fight for reforms and said
he would not give up the principles for
which he has fought.
Mr.. Bryan spoke at a dollar dinner
given by prominent democrats of the coke
regions, following the delivery of his
lecture on The Prince of Peace for the
benefit Of the .Uniontown hospital. Judge
Robert Umble was POSTMASTER. Former
Lieutenant Governor Latta spoke on The
Democratic Party of Pennsylvania"
Mr.. Bryan's political address was In part
as follows: 1t4l
IF there is one state In which a democrat
ought not to be downcast merely because
he has been defeated, that state is
Pennsylvania because he is accus-
toned to 1t. II there is one state in
which the democrats are not expected to
abandon a principle merely because that
principle embodied in a platform has failed
to win a victory that state is Pennsylvania
For you have gone down to defeat in Penn
sylvania with great regularity no matter
how good your platforms
Mr.. Bryan said that the republican party
would not meet the expectations of the
people and the voters would find relief
only in the application of democratic prin-
ciples. Concerning his continued leadership
of the democratic party, Mr.. Bryan said
that leadership had come to him without
effort on his own part. and as long as the
party wanted him to continue such leader
ship he did not feel that he could re-
linquish it at the behest of those who
r,tobt ha narannaIIr- gnNo,a.t,l L..
ton upon his part.
Mr., Bryan said Mr.. Taft had been elected
through a combination Of financial, COM
mercial and Industrial interests of the
country, and that he would rather remain
a private citizen than be president and be
subservient to these interests as Mr.. Taft
must be under the conditions that elected
him. He declared President Roosevelt had
degraded his high office by making 1t the
football of party politics during the recent
campaign.

Iowa News Notes,

SIOUX CITY-As a result of cutting his
toe in pairing a corn, Patrick Teefey, aged
81, Is dead at his home, 1919 Pearl street.
The blood poisoning communicated to his
leg and the doctors a~mputated the leg in
an unsuccessful effort to save his life. Mr..
Teefey was a wealthy man, owning much
land in Iowa and Oklahoma He lived at
Danbury, Ia. before coming to Sioux Sity.
IOWA C~ITY-Prof. w. ]. Teeters, dean of
the college of pharmacy of the State Uni
versity Of Iowa, has publicly expressed the
belief that the branding of cattle with a
hot iron is not as painful to the animal as
many humane society enthusiasts would
have us believe. Prof. Teeters has interests
in a big cattle ranch in the southwest, and
his experience has Taught him the necessity
of branding in some form and he says that
methods of using acids for this purpose
have not proved successful.
CRESTON-Jealous of his wife, Macely
Huntley, a negro miner at Buxton. created
a panic among a crowd Of holiday shop
pers in a company store Friday night.
Drawing a gun he shot and killed VERNE
Watkins, a young colored lad, seriously in
Jured Emanuel Bobbins, another negro, and
attempted to kill a colored woman. The
prompt and daring action of r. r.. Nc
Rae. the manager of the store, undoubtedly
saved other lives in the crowd, as the man
was undoubtedly insane. He wrested the
u from the negro and held him till the
officers arrived. Huntley was taken to the
county Jail at Abba, where he is now con-
fined.

dent OF the Union Pacific. as his successor.
There are persistent rumors to the effect
that Mr.. Stickney will In the near future

This was denied in official circles today.
however.
Mr.. Stickney gave out the following state
ment.
Yes, I have determined to resign as
receiver OF the Chicago Great Western
railway.
The time is close at hand when a re-
organization plan must be agreed upon.
Several committees have been formed rep
resenting different classes of securities.
OF course each committee will naturally
attend to the interests Of it's own con-
stituents. ! am still president of the Chi
cage Great Western Railway company and
as such 1 feel that 1 owe a duty not to
any special class OF stockholders, but
equally to each and every class.
Il feel, therefore. that 1 should be free
to act, If necessity should arise, as a sort
of mediator between the various interests.
Up to this time my duties as receiver have
eT crossed all my time and thoughts in the
detail of operations, but as we approach
the end OF the receivership in which the
rights of conflicting interests must be
determined by court, there will be con-
tinually arising questions which the re-
ceivers have to pass on in the first in
%stsnce, in which /, as a stakeholder and
noteholder of the company, am interested
In directly. In considering, therefore, the
embarrassment of being called upon to
advise the court in regard to the matters
in which I may be personally interested
in and considering my relation to tn
stockholders as president of the company.
l have felt II my duty to tender to the
court my resignation as one Of the re.
ceivers."
