Walter Wyman.

Walter Wyman, whose death in this
city last night came as shock OF sur
prise to the public, WAS for thirty-flVc
years identified with the service that has
been increasingly usefu! In the preserva-
ton of health. At the time of his first
connection with this branch of the gov
eminent its field was limited. 1t was
then the marine hospital service, and 1t
was designed chiefly to afford medical
care for seamen along the lines of marine
transportation in this country. At the
time il was organized there was no eff
fective system of national sanitation. IN
deed. the nature OF epidemic diseases was
so little understood that there was no
concept of the possibility of universal
pro .ectior against infection. 1t was not
long before DR.. Wymans accession to
the chiefship OF this bureau, nine years
ago. that the possibilities of national by
gienic work were realized. In the old
days, when he served in the ranks such
scourges yellow fever were fought al
most exclusively by the states. and.
though handicapped seriously by the fail
ure on their part TO recognize the ma
tional responsibility and duty, the marine
hospital service did invaluable work. 1t
is not too much to say that II has been
largely7through the efforts of DIR. Wyman
and his associates that the narrow ideas
Of state auarantining have been broken
down. The service has been improved
during the years of his supervision,
especially since the enactment of law
giving it broader scope and improved
facilities, until it is real public safe
guard against epidemic disease and of
especial value in the collection and study
of vital statistics. permitting a compre-
hensive conception of the country,s state
of health. Throughout his service in this
connection Dr. Wyman was alert and
progressive, devoted to his duty. an en-
thusiast in promoting the thought of ma
tional sanitary supervision and a real
guardian of the health OF the people He
was a most efficient administrator and
his attractive personality was an effective
factor In the success of the work in
trusted to him. He has served his coun-
try we'll and deserves a lasting recogni-
ton now that death has called him thus

perience made him most useful

The Secretary Of the Navy makes q
strong declaration in favor Of system
of civil pensions for federal employees
The earnest advocacy Of system of civil
service retirement by the Secretary of the
Treasury has been made known and
hero Is probably no member Of the ca,bj-
net who does no. believe in 1t, not merely
for sentimental reasons, but as Il sound
business policy. 1t is easy to say that
tho federal empoye should accumulate
enough To care for him in his old age
and that If he is improyident he should
not expect the government to care for
him; but the fact is that he does not
save and that the government does take
care of him. II has been impossible to

Obituary

Through the columns of the
McGregor Times we learn of the
death of Edwin B. Plump, brother
in-law of Mrs. ]. w. Bell of this city
He was born in New York in 1885
and came west when fourteen years
of age. He came to McGregor more
than fifty years ago and lived there
almost continuously until his
death. He was a pharmacist and
followed that profession until the
last few years. For time he tau2 ht
bookkeeping and was City Clerk,
Secretary of the Fire Company and
was Justice of the Peace two sue
cessive terms which office he held
when stricken by paralysis which
caused his death. His many friends
will remem Der him as genial, kind
hearted, gentlemanly man who al
ways looked at the bright side of
everything and contributed largely
to the happiness of others.

Now friends in Audubon County, the
barns on the lands in these great irri-

houses of America. Whether it rains
or drought overtakes you. you can
have plenty of water to make your
crops at will. While here in Iowa we
lose part of our great corn crop, which
will average they say about Is bushels
and all our pasturage SO that clarifying
has gone to-next to nothing, our gar.
den vegetables to near nothing. Wells
have gone dry and many of our farmers
are hauling water for miles. These con-
ditions are averted in the irrigated
country, where water is the staple ar

richness and surety they give you, of
