since his arrival here he has devoted
most of his time in the same manner.
Railroad people say that Mr.. Ripley,
who is wealthy, is eager to retire from

SEES OPERATION;
DIES OF FRIGHT
CREsTON MAN, AWAITING TURN
UNDER KN1FH, CANNOT STAND
THE STRAIN.

/, Creston, Marcn 25.--Fear of an ap.
preaching operation and the sight OF
the surgeons working over patients
who went before him into the oper-
ating room yesterday caused the
death of Walter Wyckoff in local
hospital.
The physicians declared he died Of
heart failure, but admitted the sights
and excitement were indirectly re-
sponsible.
Wyckoff, who was an aged man,
dreaded the ordeal which he soon was
to face. He was lying in his bed in
the ward and, through a door, left
partly open by error, could see into
the tile lined chamber where the sur
geons were working.
Three patients were taken from the
ward into the chamber, where the
physicians performed operations for
various disorders.
Unknown to the nurses, Wyckoff
watched as the knives were welded
upon the helpless and insensate vic.
tins. Then he saw them brought
back and placed on the beds, until the
nurses could bring them from under
the influence Of the anaesthetics.
AS the last Of the patients who pre-
ceded Wyckoff was on the operation
table, the old man raised himself
slightly, fell back, and when nurse
reached his side he was gasping his

STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
EXPERT SAYS IT SHOULD

Des Moines, March 25.-By preach.
ing the testing of seed corn Prof. p.
G. Holden Of the Iowa State Agricul-
tural college at Ames succeeded q
year ago in increasing the corn har-
vest in Iowa million bushels.
Mr.. Holden has since been placed
in charge Of an extension work for the
state in connection with the college
and is now busily engaged directing
the instruction OF farmers throughout
the state in the selecting Of their seed
corn and testing 1t before planting.
1t is expected he will greatly increase
the crop this year. Professor Holden
has recently committed himself as be-
ing opposed to Importation of seed
corn from other territories. He says
seed that is good in one climate and
soil is not necessarily adapted to the
Iowa soil. HE urges the development
Of seed at home adapted to soil and
climate and the bettering Of the crop
by carefully testing the seed and get
ting good results.
Governor Cummins has just ap-
pointed Professor Holden as chair
man Of the committee to install the
Iowa exhibit at the big corn show in

In the bill recently passed by the

soluble union, precipitated, it with his

portrayed the wreck following In the

given. statement attributed to M.
BRAND, now minister of justice in
favor of trial marriages." but which
the minister repudiated, added piqu-
ancy to the controversy. Men and
women, married, unmarried and di-
VorCeu, ola ana young, came forward
and told pathetic stories of life trageies
in support Of their respective con-
tentions. In the end the friends of
greater freedom Of union and dis
union had the better of it in parlia-
ment, the "referdum" and the public
prints.
"Step Into the Abyss"
M. Bourget, while re-aftirming his
irreconciliable opposition to the princi-
pie of divorce, says he is not sur
prised. either at the senate's action or
the expression of public opinion. "As
a student of moral science" he said, II
long ago foresaw what France was
coming to. We are hurrying toward
free union France is divided into
two camps-one. the feebler, opposes
divorce; the other, the stronger, fav-
ors free union. The new law voted by
the senate is the first step, for it
frankly establishes divorce upon the
demand of husband or wife-a princi-
pie not only contrary to morality, but
contrary to the rules Of society. AS
Frenchman, / am profoundly grieved
to witness this further step into the
abyss"
