While sitting in his chair at his
home, two miles northeast of Fergu-
son, Caleb A. Haskin, aged IS, one OF
the pioneers of the southern part Of
the county, was stricken with neural
gia of the heart, and died a short time
afterwards without regaining con-
seriousness. Mr. Haskin had become
quite feeble during recent years, and
last week suffered two slight attacks
Of neuralgia that further weakened
him.
Fourteen years ago Mr.. Haskin lost
leg by an accident that came
close to costing him his life While
stamping out a fire in one Of his fields

poisoning set in and the leg had to be
amputated TO save his life.

spent in Grinnell Mr.. Haskin had lived
on the farm where he died for almost

son county, Vermont, Nov. is, 1925. His
parents moved to Monroe county. New
York when he was as mall boy. When
lad of Is years Mr.. Haskin came
west to LAGRANGE county. Indiana. and
later to Elkhart county, Indiana. At
the latter place he married Miss Re-
becca Lacey. on May q, 1s49.
Mr. Haskin came west in 1853 and
settled on the farm near Ferguson.
Two years later his family joined him.
In the fall of 1870 the family left the
farm and went to Grinnell to live, re-
naming for six years, only TO return to
the old home place.
Mrs Haskin died twenty-seven years
ago and few years later Mr.. Haskin
married Miss Elizabeth Bibb, who sur
wives him. Four children were born of
the first marriage. two Of whom, Albert
R. Haskin. of New York City, and Mrs.
| C. F. Kicker, Of Grinnell, are living.
Mrs. Kicker formerly lived in this city.

Picnlcs and TroIIey..

Davenport Times: Fred C. Kelley
in the Chicago News deplores the
passing of the old-time picnic. He
places emphasis on the transportation
OF the crowd to the picnic grounds
and blames the trolley for taking
away from the modern picnic that
peculiar charm that attended the
young people who went from town to
the woods in wagons or on hay racks
1t may be that for some who go to
picnics the chief interest centers In
the means of transportation, but for
the majority of the young people the
word picnic Is practically synonymous
with shady spot near purling brook
where good things to eat are spread
out in tempting array and everyone
is ready to enjoy stuffed eggs, the
sandwiches, the homemade jam and
other edibles peculiar to picnic menus
The ride on the trolley car serves to
lengthen the time to be spent in the
woods-and, and what is often no I'M
important consideration, is cheaper
than hiring wagons and horses.

A GREAT WORK.

Colonel w c. Gorgas of the United
States army medical department is
one of the most distinguished men OF
his profession. He, is now in south
ern California attending the Ameri-
can Medical Association at Los An
geles. Among all the great medical
men now in council the achievements
of Colonel Gorgas seem the most re-
markable. Anyone who saw Panama
years ago and is acquainted with the
deadly climate there, will appreciate
what he has done. He accepted that
dreary death trap as it was and has
so changed it that white man and
black man alike can work and live
in as fair health as can the laborer
in the streets of Keokuk. The ships
of the French could hardly carry their
Kidnapped laborers fast enough to
supply the ranks of the dying. 1t took
Uncle Sam two or three years to get
the place ready for laborers, but the
task was we'll done. DR.. Gorgas is the
man who worked out the problem.

The SYSTEM IS WRONG

A writer in the Santa Ana (Cal)
Register takes the position, a tenable
one, that our system of criminal law
practice is all wrong. He indicts 1t as
not only contrary to the best interests
of society, but as putting the criminal
lawyer in the position of being com
PEELED to resort to despicable meth
DDS Or be a failure.
The broad charge Is made without
fear of successful contradiction that
there is no class of men whose prac.
tical lives and professional lives and
professional system is so contrary ia
all the original objects of their office
as that of criminal lawyers" In the
trial of murderers, every case abounds
in cunning, ingenuity and adroit ex
aggerations of the laws remote tech
nicalities; in sharp practice and otter
in humbug and pretense so absurd thai
one wonders at the variety of the
learned attorneys ability and at the
! courts lack of sense Of humor: bu

CURE FOR MENINGITIS.

DR.. Simon Flexner, director of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re
search, announces in the current is
sue of the Journal of American Medic
al Association that it has been dis
covered that cebro-spinal meningitis,
secondary to influenza or the grip,
is far from uncommon and is highly
fatal. At the same time, he tells of
the outcome of experiments carried on
in the institution, resulting in the dis
covery of cure for the malady.
Influential meningitis is more fire.
quent among infants and children than
among adults. 1t sometimes follows
on undoubted influenza bacillus infec-
tons Of the respiratory tract, and
sometimes develops independently OF
obvious disease OF that tract.
The experiments at the Rockefeller
Institute were performed on monkeys
and an efficient therapeutic agent to
influence the course of the infection
was found in an immune serum pre-
pared in the goat by the long-continu-
ed, repeated injection of virulent cul-
lures of bacillus influenza. The re-
port says:
1t has been found possible to res
cue monkeys regularly from the fatal
effects of the subdural incubation of
cultures of the influenza bacillus
through daily injection, by means of
lumbar puncture, of the immune SER
UNI for three or four days. Serum
injections produce an arrest of the
multiplication of the bacilli and bring
about free phagocytosis, with which
is connected the cessation of the emf
grafton of leukocytes and a conse-
quent clearing of the cerebro-spinal
fluid.
I'm view of the severe conditions
surrounding influential meningitis in
human beings, it would seem desir-
able to apply the serum to the treat
ment of the spontaneous disease. II
this should be done, then every effort
should be directed to the making of
the bacteriologic diagnosis at the ear
lest possible momen, and the en-
ployment of serum that has been
prepared with virulent influenza ba-
cilli and that shows high degree OF
opsonic value. The manner in which
the serum should be employed in hui
man beings is indicated by the man.
ner in which the serum for epidemic
meningitis has come to be applied
successfully"
The testing of the anti-influenzal
serum will be confined for the present
to a few places in which it's effects
can be carefully observed and con-
trolled before it is offered for more
general use.
