DEATH FROM DOME Z

A Kansas University Student
and Athlete Adopts Unique
Method of Suicide.
HAD OVERWORKED AND
MIND WAS UNBALANCED

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 9.--Urban
Angney, the captain of last years
foot ball team and an all around star
athlete of the Kansas University,
committed suicide today by jumping
from the dome of Frazier hall at the
university grounds. 1t is believed
his mind was affected by overwork.
He left a rambling note which IN
dlcated his dependency. He was
twenty-five years old.
The young man was handsome
specimen of physical manhood and
was a great favorite among his fei-
low students. He had been studying
hard in order TO make up for time
lost on the gridiron.
No one saw the student when he
climbed TO the top of the dome. He
balanced himself upon a narrow
footing and suddenly raised his arms
above his head, much like a swim
mer about to take a high dive, and
plunged to his death on the campus
below. His body was crushed to a
pulp and it is probable that every
bone was broken.
Students witnessed his terrible fall
to death.

TUBERCULOSIS In IOWA.
Hawkeye State Contributes Two Thousand
Human Lives Annually to Deadly
White Plague.

Iowa's annual contribution to the
White Plague is over 1000 human
lives at financial loss of more than
$4, 900, 600. And tuberculosis is pre-.
ventable disease And it is almost
inconceivable that state whose peo.
pie are among the most intelligent
and progressive in the nation will
permit such an appalling sacrifice to
be made year after year. This fearful
tribute demanded from Iowa by con-
sumption is another illustration that
ignorance and inaction may bring a
people to accept an intolerable condi-
tion as necessary part of its exis-
tence.
But tuberculosis is preventable
disease and can be stamped out. A
vegetable germ is the cause of our
trouble. We must make war on it.
We must destroy it. or it will destroy
us. We must depend upon popular
education in our combat against con-
sumption. 1t is disease of the masses
transmitted by social contact and
therefore amendable to control. In
telligent repressive measures Will have
immediate effect in the limitation of
this disease.
Therefore the Board of Control has
inaugurated an extensive educational
m in Tnxua
ture and the press all are agencies
employed by the Board to give the
people knowledge of prevention and
cure of tuberculosis. And it is desir-
able to bring into requisitIon every
social and educational force in the
state, for the combat against this
plague belongs to no one class but to
all the people. The control of tuber-
culosis is community matter depeu-
dent upon organized society, but the
people must be taught that 1t is an
infectious disease transmitted by a
germ found in the sputum from the
lungs of consumptive person; that
such diseased person is dangerous only
when he coughs and his sputum is not
destroyed in its moist state that spit
ting on sidewalks or in public places
of resort, using common drinking
cup, kissing. or handshaking are
methods by which consumption is
spread from one person to another !;
that tuberculosis is frequently found
in cattle and hogs and may be COM
municated in milk and meat This
knowledge will bring power to che
local government and repressive
measures will be adopted which will
suppress the ravages of this community
disease.
