Vienna, was found dead under his
automobile eight miles southwest OF
Watertown, by hunters, at daylight
Sunday. Hanson had been in the
city Saturday, leaving for Vienna be-
tween 8 and 4 o'clock in the after
noon. The tracks show that he had
nearly reached the top of a steep hill
when his power gave out and in spite
of brakes the machine ran back down
the hill at a furious pace off the mar
row grade and at the bottom turned
turtle, instantly killing the man.
The road is an u~nfrequented one, 80
the body remained undiscovered until
chance hunters ran upon it. Coroner
Dickensen was notified and the re-
mains brought to this city. No inquest
will be necessary.

WILEY Is VERY WISE
DistinGulshed Washington Physician
Says kissing IL Both Happy

washington PoSt.)

The proposition to abolish the gen
tie practice of OSCILLATION by anti
kissing crusades and health societies
is scoffed at by those medical men of
Washington who have the least grain
of sentimentality left in them, and is
regarded the hugest Kind of joke.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the
bureau Of chemistry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, probably knows
as much about disease germs Of vari-
GUS kinds as any other man in this
country. DR.. Wiley says he has yet
to see a single instance in which a
life has been wrecked or shortened
as a direct result of disease germs
transmitted from a diseased person
Ito healthy one by the kissing route.
Out in Cincinnati the women have
formed the Worlds Health Organiza-
ton, or Anti-kissing League. In this
months of roses and orange blossoms,
wedding marches, blushing brides and
! slightly agitated bridegrOoms, the
league is doing its utmost to abolish
the time-honored custom of kissing.
t No more spooning in parks or dark
ened doorways last before goodnight
! is said, is the edict of the society. All
/ of which has caused DR.. Wiley to
wonder what is the matter with the
Queen City women.
A society for the prevention OF
kissing DR.. Wiley said yesterday, els
nothing less than a society for the
prevention OF pleasure

Ohio city is gaining new members by

Missouri and Oklahoma, to have made
gain in population since the census
Of 1900 of 81 per cent, from 26.774,e77
to 32,415,297. TIE gain of all other

Oklahoma, Texas. Missouri. Georgia,
Alabama. Oklahoma, gained more than

West Virginia, Florida
The five states to make the greatest
