He passed away August II, 1890. Of his many other writings which have at- attracted notice the reader may like to have his attention directed to ''The Dream of GerOntius,'' as a composition which is accounted re- markable by all critics.

He gives a splendid account of the mining possibilities of that field, and speaks especially of the MeNulty and Wadden proper ties, where development is progress ing favorably. MT. Birch made sev- eral locations in that field, and will begin development at once, surface indications warranting the disposi- tion of capital to exploit the ground to depth.

| tardlnal Newman had been very IL
 in Leonforte, Sicily, of malarial fever
 Anxiety to return to England and re
 sume his work there also worried
 him. His mental depression was so
 profound that he frequently burst in-
 to tears. His servant thought him
 near death, and begged for his last directions. These were given, but Newman himself did not think he was going to die then. Finally he was able to secure transportation on an orange boat bound for France, but the winds fell off and the vessel was beealmed for a full week in the Straits of Bonifacio, between Corsica and Sardinia. This was in June, 1883.
 Here it was, and under these con ditions, that "Lead Kindly Light ' was written. The whole time of the vessels passage, says Newman, was consumed in the preparation of these verses. So, while the idea was an in spiratiOn, its literary frame work was a task of careful labor. The spirituality of it's thought, the sweetness and deicaey of expression with which the thought are clothed, it's completeness of faith and it's calm sincerity, seem to reflect quail ties of the authors moral, mental and physical state at that time. Dr. Newman wrote great deal, but tnIs is the most famous of all his pro- auctions. One can almost see be- tween the lines a living portait of the author himself
 John Henry Newman was a native of London, born February 21, 1901. His father was a banker whose deep religious convictions were disclosed in the train of his son, who from a child was brought up read in the Bible, and to read it in such a way that this reading was "a great delight, '' as he himself says. After the finish of his university course in Oxford, where he was graudated from Trim ity College, at the age of 19, in 1920 he was engaged in educational work until 1928, when there began an in- timaey between himself and Richard Hurrell Froude, of which the out come was a remarkable religious for better things in the English church.
 About this time Newman visited the continent, and during this visit, say his biographers, he became ultimately and firmly settled in his belief in the policy and practice of the Ro- man Catholic church, toward which he had previously manifsted for some years a marked tendency. But it was not until October, 1s45, that he finally and formally entered that church, which promptly and properly recognized and honored him. His

THE OPENING GUN

AS the exact situation gradually
filters through the sparkle and the tin.
sci of the news reports sent out from
Sioux City. it becomes apparent that
although every hotel in Sioux City
was taxed to its utmost capacity and
was sending wOuld-be guests away in
scores, less than 400 men and women
gathered in the Woodbury. county
court house on Tuesday night, Sept.
20, to hear Claude r. Porter, the dem
ocratic nominee for governor, explode
the first bomb Of the campaign. The
bomb" was so muffied with blan-
ket discussion of national issues that
its explosion sounded more like the
discharge of cap pistol. Mr.. Porter
did not touch on a single thing in
which the people of Iowa-the state
which he hopes to gOyern-are direct
ly Interested. His remarks were con-
fined almost solely 10 national issues,
and the fact that he did not commit
himself on any of the state issues
. was a source of disappointment 20
his democratic followers, as well as
the republicans who were waiting for
an expression.
Nearly all OF Mr. Porter's speech
was devoted to quoting prominent
men in the republican party. He said
that il he quoted democrats 1t would
not have the same effect. Mr.. Por.
ter criticised the manner in which
the republicans had handled national
affairs. Like the party on such occa-
sions. he offered no solutions for the
alleged wrong-doings.
MIR. Porter made no reference 10
the liqgor plank which was put into
the democratic state piarform after a
long light, He absolutely ignored the
issue. That the liquor plank is PROV

lNFANTuE pARAIysls

Infantile paralysis is no new disease,
though its prevalence in Iowa was
never so marked as 1t has been dur
ing recent months. There were $50
deaths in 1909 from this cause in the
registration area of continental Uni
ted States, which comprises over So
per cent of the total population, ac-
cording to the Census Bureaus forth
coming bulletin on mortality statistics
for 1909 submitted to Census Director
Durand by Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur, chief
statistician for vital statistics.
It is reported that, of the $50 deaths
from infantile paralysis, $50 were of
white and only II of colored persons.
There was somewhat greater incl
dence of disease among males and an
increased mortality in August, Sep
TENDER and October.
The bulletin states that no Stats
ticaI segregation of infantile paralysis
as a cause of death has been made
heretofore, but the increasing impor-
lance of the disease and its wide pre-
valence throughout the country in the
form of local epidemics render
statement of the mortality important.
Like meningitis, which it somewhat re-
sembIes, it is difficult to obtain an ex-
act separation of the deaths from the
specific infectious disease, acute an
terror poliomyelitis, from other infec-
tions of similar nature. Acute anterior
poliomyelitis is described by the bull
letin as an acute infectious disease
chiefly affecting children in the first
five years of life, and while not infre-
uuently fatal is of even more serious
consequence as the cause of more or
less permanent paralysis and atrophy
of muscles. Numerous outbreaks have
occurred in this country, the most i'm
portant of which were those in Yer
mont, in 1894, and in New York and
Connecticut, in 1907. The 500 deaths
compiled for the registration area for
1909 were widely distributed, and indi-
cate epidemic or epidemic prevalence
in many parts of the country.

don. The Rock Island also runs a
midnight train out of Chicago, but
such a slow train that it is impOssi
BILE to reach OskaloOsO until noon OF
the next day, and Pella two hours
later.
1t seems to me that il is only just
to the people along the X. & d. NJ
branch thar the Rock Island Company
put in al least one first class train
each way daily % a. IN. west, IS
p. IN. east. That company runs
four first class trains daily between
Des Moines and Davenport by way
OF Newton, Grinnell and Iowa City
while the distances that way and by
the way OF Pella, Oskaloosa and Sig
Quincy are almost equal.
AS to the matter OF density of pop
ulation along the two routes, the
northern route stops are as follows:
Newton 400, Grinnell 5000, Brooklyn
1900, Marengo 1000, Iowa City 5000
West Liberty 1900, Wilton junction
1900 a total OF 800 and the south

ter than that adjacent to the north

Could IL not be possible for the

NIOIENT DEATHS.

| External causes, other than suicide,
were responsible for 47,135 of the
deaths reported for the census regis
tration area for 1909, it is stated in
the Census Bureaus annual bulletin
on mortality statistics for 1909, now
in press. The death rate declined
from 9S.9 to 967 per 100000 estimated
population.
| The total number of deaths from
homicide, as reported for 1909, was
I2,S54, a decrease of 149 from the num-
Der compiled for 1908. Not all deaths
from homicide are specified, so that
the total number that actually occur
red would be in excess of that COM
piled. The increase in the death
rate, So, rom this cause for 1909 over
/ the annual average rate, 80, for the
fye-year period 190l-1905 is probably
due largely to greater precision in the
returns in this respect.
Among the causes of accidental
deaths, in the order of numerical i'm
portance for the year 1903, were the
! following: Railroad accidents and in
| juries, G,65g; drowning, 4,558; burns
and scalds, 1899; injuries at birth,
hereafter to be classified under dis
eases of early infancy, 3,50S; injuries
! by horses and vehicles, 2,152, not in
Guiding injuries by street cars, 1923,
and automobile accidents and injuries,
! 632; injuries in mines and quarries,
1897; inhalation of poisonous gases,
including confagration, 1887; other
accidental poisoning ,779; accidental
gunshot wounds, 944; heat and sun
stroke, SIG; cold and freezing, PSI;
! lightning, $50.
| There were LIZA fatal injuries by
machinery, chiefly in factories, but the
large number, l0,10S, OF accidental
! traumatisms of unspecified nature
makes it necessary to consider many
| of the figures given above as only
minimal, and it is important that the
means of injury be specified in all re-
turns OF death from accidental VIC
lenCe.
! The slight numerical increase in the
deaths, S,402, from suicide registered
| for 1909 over the number, 1892, for
1908 is less than the relative increase
of the estimated population OF the
registration area, 50 that the death
rate decreased from 1873 to 17.2 per
! 100000 population. The most com
mon means OF suicide for the year
was poison, 2,464, followed by fire
arms, 1895; hanging, 1,215; drown
ing, 5O7 jumping from high places,
156; crushing, "a; and other or I'M
specified means, So. Undoubtedly
many deaths from suicide fail to be
reported so that they can be compiled
under this head, but the increasing
precision of statement of the nature
of the death in cases of death sfrom
violent causes renders the statistics
more accurate from year to year and
thus accounts for some Of the appar.
ent increase in the death rate from
suicide.
