Wild Scenes of Disorder Follow When
Cries of Taft Ring From Stall
Wart Side of the Hail..

Des Moines, Iowa.-After a day of
bitter fractional controversy, marked
by Kisses and cat calls for United
States senators and ex-congressmen,
the Iowa Republican convention came
to close Wednesday only when the
insurgent leaders threw open the
throttle and sent the steam roller
over the insistent stalwart leaders,
crushing with them the resolutions be-
speaking an unqualified Endorsement
of President Taft and the tariff law.
The 600 stalwarts, headed by ex-
Congressman Peter Hepburn and John
F. Lacey, early opened a fight in the
convention with the sole purpose in
view of securing an Endorsement Of
the national administration. In the
resolutions committee they fought for
this for three hours in vain, and on
the floor of the convention demanded
q roll call of their minority report
putting the insurgents on record. In
the midst of this roll call Mahaska
county responded In favor of the mi
nority resolutions by raising large
picture of President Taft, while they
stood on their chairs and shouted.
When Webster county was called it
retaliated with negative vote and
received mammoth picture of Roose.
welt. When ex-Congressman Hepburn
read the minority report he was pre-
vented from finishing by the hoots and
calls.
At the last name the great coliseum
resounded with cheers. AS they sub
sided ex-Congressman Lacey shouted,
"Why not Taft, too?" The speaker
shook his head and volley of Kisses
followed.
The discord started in the morning
session, when Senator A. B. Cummins
as temporary chairman referred to
the Republican party as that Of Lin
coin, Grant, Garfield, Blaine, McKin-
ley and Roosevelt.
From this on the stalwarts stood
an army of protests. When the in
surgents presented the name Of Jona-
than P. Dolliver for permanent chair
man the stalwarts offered opposition

MURDER AND SUICIDE
BODIES FOUND IN PHYSICIANS
ROOMS IN PlTTsBuRG.
A Friend of Dead Man Makes the Dis
covery-Pistol Found Beside sody
of Woman.

Pittsburg. George Murray STU
art, one of the most prominent young
physicians of the fashionable East LID
erty district, was found dead in his
apartments Monday night, and beside
him iay the body of Edna Wallace, a
middle-aged woman. A shot through
her right temple was apparently SELF
inflicted after she had shot and killed
the doctor. A revolver lying by the
woman's side strengthens the police
in this theory.
The double killing comes almost on
the eve of DR.. Stuart's marriage to a
Virginia belle. The police believe that
jealousy of the doctors coming mar
riage prompted the double tragedy.
The womans body was removed to the
morgue and that of the young physl-
clan was turned over to an under
taker.
Both bodies were found in bed.
DR.. Stuart was graduate OF the Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons OF
Baltimore. He was but 81 years old.
He. is said to have come from a prom
inent family at Winchester. Va.
The discovery of the bodies was
made by DR.. George w. Ely, friend
of the dead man, who, becoming alarm
ed at DR.. Stuarts disappearance, broke
into his apartments. DR.. Stuart was
to have been married August 10.

RESTORES HER SIGHT
Delicate Operation Performed by a
Philadelphia Surgeon.

THiiductPutd 0ui SSSs
Philadelphia, Aug. 5.-One of the
most delicate and dangerous opera
lions known to modern surgeons was
performed at the Medico-Chirurgical
Hospital, when a portion of the cor
nea. the transparent film enveloping
the eye, was trephined from the eye
ball of a man employed at the Baldwin
Locomotive Works. His eye had been
permanently destroyed, but the cor
nea was uninjured. The. trephined
piece was transplanted to the eye of a
woman who had been blind from in
fancy. One of her eyes had been re-
moved, and she could not see with
the other, it being affected with noon
atorum, the cornea becoming clouded
and absolutely Opaque. The only pos
sible way in which her sight could be
restored was to remove the cornea
and transplant some transparent sub
stance in its place.
This was done by the operation
above described. She can now read
lily distinguish objects few feet
away, and the surgeons believe her
sight will gradually become stronger.

EDUCATION'S SMALL CHANCE
Georgia Legislature Pays Little Notice
to Compulsory Bill

to Compulsory Bill.
Savannah, Ga.-The chances for
compulsory educational bill to be
passed at the present session Of the
Georgia legislature dwindled almost to
nothing when for the second time the
house refused to make it the special
order Of business one day week. Sup
porters of the measure say the end
of the session is too near to get the
bill through. This bill has been one
of the most important features of the
session. It's advocates claim that
there are 10000 children of school age
in Georgia who can neither read nor
write. A newspaper campaign against
illiteracy has made the topic live
issue throughout the state, with the
result that movement has started
to keep the measure before the legis-
latures in the future until it becomes
a law.

this about two slices of crisp toast with

The Press & Dakotan makes a
good suggestion in urging the
students of the various colleges in
the state in selecting subjects for
their intercollegiate debates, to
choose living topics, topics that
are likely to be considered by the
Legislature. The students who en-
gage in these debates are usually
seniors OF Juniors in the colleges,
and are better equipped for hand
ling these subjects than the aver
age legislator, and they can dev ote
more time in preparing their sub
jec ts than it is possible for the
legislator to spare during the rush
OF legislative session, with per-
haps thousand bills to be con-
sidered. If the students would
discuss some of the important
state issues their debates might be
used as references by the members
OF the legislature. In this way
not only would they be giving a
valuable service to the state, but
the fact that their debates were to
be used in this way would give an
added interest to the debaters
themselves, stimulate wider re-
search, and would prompt them to
use more discrimination in the
kind of argument presented.

We hear occasional criticisms

We hear occasional criticisms
of the board Of county COM
missioners on account of the fact
that the money in,the general fund
has been exhausted and warrants
now have to be registered. A little
investigation will show that this
shortage is not due to extravaganza
of the board but is due to condi-
tions over which they have no con-
troll. Had these conditions been
foreseen year ago of course the
tax levy might have been raised,
but this was not thought necessary
at the time the levy was made.
Since that time, by a decision Of
the court about $4,000 has had to
be refunded to the school districts
of Scotland and Tyndall. Tlen
the election expenses this year
have been vastly more than ever
before. The expense of registra.
tion board is entirely useless in a
community where every legal voter
is known. The registration sys-
tenn is necessary in the cities, but
in rural districts or towns the size
of those in this county it is useless,
but it is the law and must be com
piled with. Then new feature
of expense this year was demand
for $40 hall rent for each school
house and hall where elections
were held. The long and compli-
Gated ballots made the counting
slow, and required an extra day
for each of the 85judges and clerks.
The levy was made TO cover the
usual expenses OF the county, and
these extra demands have simply
exhausted the fund temporarily.
