of greatness Is difference of condi-
ton rather than character. 1t is given
to some to render conspicuous service
and to receive the grateful honor of
mankind, but there are heroes of the

it, neither crowding nor Sinking
who acts well his part. We therefore
regard that life as successful which
brings the full measure of its proper
service to its day and to its people.
We admire that as the highest intelli-

duty; and honor that as the truest
character which most instantly per-

This is solemn service, but not
sorrowful. 1t is full of pleasant recol-

whose faces now gladden. only the
vision OF our memory, were men of
marked individuality, of positive
traits, OF varied talents. They won

Standing Beneath Arc Light In Under

HE HAD BEEN DRUGGED
Remembered Nothing After He Took
Drink In Saloon, Until He
Awakened at Home SUM-
day Morning.

Residents near the corner of Elev-
enth and Palean streets, heard I'M
earthly bowling Saturday night at mid
night. Those who investigated by
looking out, were surprised to see a
man standing beneath the arc light,
dressed only in his undertaking and
yelling at the top of his voice The
man had on no hat, shoes, coat or
trousers and was waving his arms
and shouting.
The police were called but before
they arrived the man had gone. He
turned up a block distant and was
seen at barn, beating at the door
and calling out.
Two officers and the neighbors made
d search but could not find the man.
They did, however, find the mans
clothing the next morning and from
the coat, took letter which revealed
the identity of a West Keokuk citizen,
who was called over and secured his
clothes.
He reported that he stopped in a
saloon Saturday evening and while
taking a drink there, was joined by
two strangers, one of whom stood on
each side of him and he believes that
they doped his drink with the inten-
ton of robbing him, for he had SIS
in his pockets. which money was
found in the clothes. He remember
ed nothing more until he woke up at
home on Sunday morning and was
unable to. tell his wife what had be-
come of his clothing.
4 Evidentally he had eluded the
knockout drop men and wandered
out to the neighborhood where he
was first seen, stripping himself in a
yard there, where his clothes were
found and where two boards had been
torn off the barn by him while In his
crazed condition.
The incident created quite bit OF
excitement in the neighborhood.

The Second Layer Of the Immense
Power House to be Begun Now,
and Material Must be Lifted
Much Higher up.
BASEMENT HIGH IN AIR
Floor Of the Big Power House Far
Above the Bottom Of the River
and Under It is 4 Great
Mass Of Concrete.

The basement Of the power house,
where the water will whirl the i'm
mense turbines in couple of years,
is now sticking SO far up in the air
that the big travelling cranes are be-
ing almost doubled in height in order
to carry the concrete for the top OF
the substructure.
The travelling cranes are the four
bridges standing high over the power
house site without abutments or piers
and only a tenders house at one end
this house is really an engine room
and the bridge in the air is the de-
vice by which heavy weights are rails
ed and placed down again within a
fraction of an inch of their proper
places. Each of the four big steel
trussed structures runs on rails placed
on each side of the power house, so
that they can be moved to any point
sidewise.
Delicate Giant Fingers Move Tons.
Since the lower part of the base
ment-which is solid concrete with a
lot of holes either little or big enough
to hold cottage as the blue prints
decree-is about built, another layer
must be put on the concrete cake a
third of mile long and over two
hundred feet wide. Hence the cranes
which handle the material must be
elevated
They are made twenty-four feet
higher by adding that length to their
legs. First a timber tower is built
close alongside each corner post.
Then a derrick car is run on a rail-
road track up close to each corner.
Chains from the derrick are fastened
to the foot of each steel leg. Then,
slowly, evenly and all exactly alike,
the derricks lift the four corners sim
ultaneously a couple of dozen feet to
| the top eff the timber towers which
support them temporarily. Then the
new steel members are put in place
and each corner leg of the travelling
crane is twenty-four feet longer than
1t was before.
Very Big Things Done There.
| So thoroughly are all the parts OF
this delicate moving done, that each OF
the cranes is elevated the twenty
four feet in forty minutes by the
watch
One of these steel structures weighs
eighty tons. To 1T it to the
new height in forty minutes gives {

ternally located, without tendency to
more than accessible metastases. But
cancers which come thus to operation
represent an Insignificant minority.
The remainder are made up of neg
lected operable cancers and those
which were inoperable from the out
set.
ITO come back to the original sub
ject, it is well to forget all we know
and go back to school. In very recent
years it has been shown that with ap-
propriate nutriment cancer tissue may
attain huge development. These cul-
tural peculiarities are checked up in
part by the role played by marked 10
cal irritation in ordinary tissues. It
must not be forgotten that many ir-
ritants may cause the same or SINH
lar effect. Hence, a special germ, or
any germ at all, might at times cause
phenomenon analogous to cancer
proliferation.

STATUS OF CANCER

] " disposed to cause metastases and
cachexia. Treatment Of such cases is
important
THE two types OF cancer can not
be sharply separated clinically. Many
growths which are technically super
fetal and epitheliomatous may, &C
cording to their location, grow rapidly,
and with the aid OF their acute local
metastases may quickly wear out the
patient. Certain growing technically
local, but inaccessible because Of To-
cation, may interfere with life indi-
rectly by causing structure and the
like.
In fact what would be termed a
relatively mild, localized and operable
cancer on the surface may have the
most dire effects If it occur deep in
the digestive tube. It may completely
interrupt the digestive processes, cause
structure of the digestive tube, and its
metastases, even when local, will be
Of an inopefable and fatal character.
Our victories over cancer through
surgical procedures apply purely to
one Of these general types--to wit,
that which is Of slow growth and ex-
