REMOVING THE ROCK
FROM SUNkEN LIGHTER
Removing of the Loads Helps to Raise
the Samuel Carlton.

On Wednesday a large barge float
was brought up the river and tied up
alongside the sunken lighter Samuel
Carlton and the work of removing the
load of rock from the lighter was COM
menced by the Thames Towboat COM
pany. The derrick of the sunken boat
was made ready for use and the rock
hoisted on to the barge, SO that quite
a quantity was taken off during the
afternoon. This relieved the Carlton
somewhat, and it stood higher in the
water than it has previously. After
the rock is removed, it is believed the
lighter can be pumped out and raised.
The new flat has an engine and pump
to assist in raising the lighter.

Dissertation on Woman.

What constitutes society? Woman;
she is it's sovereign arbitress; it exists
for her and for her exclusively. But
woman forms the great educating in
fiuence for man; she it is trains him
in the gifts that charm-courtesy dis
erection, and the pride that shudders
to be self-assertive. She it Is teaches
a few the art of pleasing, and all the
useful art of not displeasing. From her
we learn the lesson that human So
ciety is more complex and more deli
cately adjusted than is generally sus-
pected by the politicians of the cafes.
Last, but not least, 1t is she brings
home to us the great truth that the
ideals of sentiment and the visions of
faith are invincible forces, and that it
is by no means reason that governs
humankind. ''-Antole France.

DEPARTMENTS OF PUBLICITY
The New Law Authorizing Cities To
Create Department Opens Field
For Local Clubs.

Des Moines, May 19.-The new law
authorizing cities to create depart
ments of publicity "opens splendid
field for work by the, local clubs.
While the law contemplates the
employment of = superintendent Of
the department, and such action
would probably achieve the largest
measure of success in the leading
cities of Iowa, greater results with
a limited appropriation would be OBJ
tanned by cooperation between the
municipal authorities and the local
club.
It would be an easy matter to ar
range the appointment of a nominal
head of the department from the
membership of the club, and by
turning the appropriation over to the
club to handle as a body, secure the
cooperation of every member of the
organization in making one dollar do
the work of several.

CUTTING CRITICISM
Medical Society President Says
Insane Not Properly Handled I
DELIVERS ANNUAL ADDRESS
Or. VoIdens Declares Commissioners
Violate the Law When They
Fail to Call Outside Ply
clan in insanity Cases.

Des Moines, May 19.-As president
Of the Iowa State Medical society, DR..
M. N. Voldeng who Is also superin-
tendent for the insane at Cherokee
gave the annual address before the
assembled medical men Of the state
in the sixtieth session at the Colise-
UNI. More humane treatment of in
sane patients was emphasized by DR..
Voldeng, who condemned the prac-
tees of the county commissioners for
the insane in not abiding by the law
in employing outside expert medical
opinion when the sanity of person
was at stake. The present method
of sending a sheriff to bring an in
sane patient to hotel, court house or
Jail for examination by the commits
sioners was severely scored by DR..
Voldeng, who stated that this very
act mitigated against the patient.
The law providing for suitable room
for the detention Of such patients
was also ignored by the board Of
commissioners. He commended tho
legislature for its adoption of the bill
to prevent procreation of habitual
criminals and feeble minded, but re-
GREETED that no provision had been
made for the care OF epileptic pa
tients of the state in separate state
institution. The defeat of the bill
providing for commission to invest
igate the causes of insanity, epilepsy,
deficiency, delinquency and criminal
ity and to report it's findings to the
next general assembly was especially
deplered by DR.. Voldeng.
The first session of the house Of
delegates was held last evening fol-
lowing the session of the general as
ISOLATION. The roll of delegates was
called. There are 1889 members OF
the association, according to the an
nual report of V. L. Treynor Of Coun-
Gil Bluffs. Of this number $40 were
in attendance at the convention yes
terday in Des Moines.
