OF the national guard. In the build
ing are kept many valuable militia
~ maps of the San Francisco coast

That the attack on the building
was not an ordinary burglary seems
apparent from the persistency of the
mysterious visitors. EARLY Saturday
morning and again in the darkness
OF Sunday morning, two men tried
10 gain an entrance to the premises.
Fearing that third attempt might
be made, the officers in command or
dered the guard of soldiers doubled
last night. Armed mon watched the
premises from nightfall Sunday until
dawn thia morning
From the descriptions Of the tres
passers furnished the officers of the
regiment by the sentries, the auth
critics are working on the theory that
Japanese spies were seeking to gain
entrance to the secrets of the armory.

the state of the union was and what
1t was coming to. 'in view of these in
ternational unions between American

pioneers would think and say if from

see SO many of the women of this
country sacrificing their souls and
honor upon the altar of snobbery and
vice." He expressly stated that he
had reference to no particular Amer

OBITUARY.
Georgiana Chick Ruesink, daughter
of George w. Chick and Mary P.
Freese was born in Lavant, Maine,
May 5, 1868. At the age of is years,
she came to Iowa where her parents
have since lived. At about the age of
10 she united with the Baptist church
where her membership has remained.
March 10, 1889, she was united in
marriage to Mr.. Herman Ruesink. To
them were born one son and four
daughters.
Her home has been in this community
since her coming to Iowa. She was
held in esteem by all who knew her.
She was a faithful wife and devoted
mother. The sudden summons thus
early in life is great blow to the
family and an event of
of great sadness to the entire COM
munity.
She is survived by her parents, two
brothers and a sister, her husband, one
son and three daughters. Death came
Friday afternoon, Jan. "a, 1908. A
Christian wife and mother is gone from
our midst but the sweet influence of
her life remain an inspiration to the
sorrowing husband and children. These
have the heartfelt sympathy of host
of friends.
The funeral services were held
Monday afternoon, Jan. q, 1893, at 2
o'clock in the Methodist Episcopal
church. Lime Springs, the pastor E.
A. Lang officiating.

tuberculosis Hospital Opens,


Des Moines.-"Poverty will be no
bar to admission to the state sanitar.
ium for the treatment of tuberculosis y
said the members of the state board
of control
Definite announcement was made OF
the plan to open the Institution Feb
/. Under the law the board will in,
form the governor and the governor
will issue a proclamation.
With the announcement comes the
statement that while patients who are
able to pay for treatment at the in.
stitution will be expected to do so, no
person will be excluded from admis.
sion because he is unable to pay any.
thing.
1t is the plan of the board to give
every one that is admitted a chance
to pay at least part of the expense
of treatment, which the state legis.
lature has fixed at $50 month. If
they can pay $50 they will be asked
to do SO, but If they are unable to pay
only portion of it they will be al.
lowed to do so. But if they can pay
nothing 1t will not be reason for
excluding them, and they will not be
excluded on that account.
1t is the theory OF the board that
patients will be glad to pay, If they
are able. 1t is not desired to have
any patient feel that he is an object
of charity on the part OF the state.
: Under the rules adopted by the
board OF control, persons who wish to
be admitted to the institution must
write to the superintendent for q
blank on which they will make state.
mont Of their ages and residences.
None but residents Of the state Will
be admitted, of course. These blanks
Will be returned to the superintendent
at the sanitarium. If the superintend.
ent thinks that the person making the
application will come under the pro.
vision of the law-the institution is
for the treatment of persons who are
afflicted with incipient tuberculosis
only-he will furnish the applicant the
name of physician in the locality
who will examine him, under regula.
lions fixed by the board and the insti.
tuition management, charging a fee of
So, under the law.
III the physician reports that the
applicant is affected with incipient
tuberculosis only, he may present
himself at the sanitarium, where he
will be examined by the superintend-
ent in charge and if found amenable
to the requirements will be admitted,
or sent home, after having remained
long enough to recuperate his
strength.
If the patient is able to pay the $50
month allowed by the state for the
support of each inmate, he will do
so, or such amount as he is able to
pay, and IL nothing at all he will not
be rejected in any case. II unable to
pay, however. he will secure cert1-
ficate from the board of health in a
city If he lives in city. and from
the trustees of townships If resi-
dent Of rural districts. to the fact.
The board of control has selected
the seventy-five physicians who will
be asked to serve the state in the
capacity of examiners of applicants
who wish treatment at the sanitar-
ium. Correspondence is going on now
between the board and those physi.
clans, and the list is being made up.
