Secretary of State Pearce Tells
Why He Fapors Clark for President

of thousands of the party. and the
unquestioned second choice of those
democrats who are supporting Will
son or Harmon. He should not only
be satisfactory to the veterans of
the party, but also to those who
have been recently converted to
democratic principles"
Mr.. Pearce read the following ex-
tract from speech made by Mr.
Clark August 1S, 1911. in con-
gress, as typifying the character of
the man:
Whenever any man stands up
and undertakes to do anything for
the benefit of the great masses of
people, he is denounced by the in
terests as demagogue and charg
ed with playing politics. But to
stand up and advocate the cause of
the interests is the highest evidence
of statesmanship. AS far as l am
individually concerned. l sprang
from the loins of the common peo-
Pile. God bless them. and / am one
of them. l labored with my hands
in my youth, and would do it again
tomorrow IL l had to do 80; and
unhesitatingly take my stand with
the consumers OF the land az
against the interests"

Grover, March 20.-Lost in the
on the plains northeast of here,
Frank Graham and A. f. Fox, on
their way here for physician, real
lied the danger OF continuing fur
ther and blanketing their team and
wrapping themselves up as best
they could, spent the night on the
open prairie, continuing their way
at daylight, arriving here at 10
O'Clock this morning.
Late yesterday afternoon the
child of w. s. Luther, living near
the post office of Graham. became
very i'll and MIR. Graham accom-
panied by A. E. Fox started for a
physician. The storm was threat
ening, but it was a case of necessity
so taking plenty of blankets and
robes they started. When the storm
overlook them. in an hour, they
lpushed ahead. The further the!
drove the less familiar became tn
road. They knew they should have
been in Grover at that time buI
there was no sign of the town
on the plains and that it was useless
to try to proceed further with theil
| exhausted team. They had plenty
of clothing with which to keeI
warm but the night was very cold
on the plains and only by walking
all night around the wagon were
they able to fight off sleep-which
meant death. At dawn they dis
covered that they were only three
miles from home. having gone in q
circle for hours. They hurriedly
drove to Grover, secured physi-
clan and started back this morning

Three DEATHS FROM
PLAGUE IN SAN JUAN
Government Working to Extermin-
ate Rats. '.

San Juan, P. R., July 22.-Three
deaths occurred yesterday in the
suburbs of San Juan from bubonic
plague. One suspect has been found.
These cases were not reported to the
authorities. Since the outbreak of
the plague there have been thirty
seven cases and twenty-six deaths
throughout Porto Rico. The Half
kline vaccine has been administered
to all persons residing in the infect
ed districts.
The plague at Carolina and Dora
do, a short distance from San Juan,
has been controlled. 1t is thought
that rats in railroad cargo from
San Juan carried the infection to
these towns. The United States pub
lie health and insular authorities
are cooperating in the work Of sani-
tation and exterminating the rats.

little of real satisfaction they afford
for human hearts. In conclusion the
speaker urged his hearers to seek af-
ter the things which are spiritual
and. eternal and not devote their en-
tire lives to material pursuits which
too often dim the spiritual vision
and bring at the end Of life no sat-
isfaction worth the having.
The union service on next Sun
day evening will be held in the
United Brethren church and Rev. M.

church will deliver the sermon. The
union services have been great
success thus far and it is hoped that
the interest will continue through
the heated season.

THE central TO
HAVE new ENGINES
The per-Heater Type to be Used
Save Fifty Per Cent Of
Fuel Cost.

It ~is reported that the Illinois
Central will soon be equipped with
locomotives of the super-heater
type. Two of these engines have
recently been put on this division
and have proved to be unusually sat
isfactory. They have a great deal
more power, can acquire much more
speed and run more smoothly than
the old type of engines.
1t is estimated that they consume
just fifty per cent less coal than the
other type. This is shown to be true
in the run from Waterloo to Fort
Dodge and return. On the old type
engine. it is coaled at Waterloo and
then at Fort Dodge before making
the return trip. With the super
heater, however, it is difficult 1t is
coaled once at Waterloo and then
it is not necessary to coal at Fort
Dodge
These engines are much bigger
than the ordinary engine and at
Sioux City recently it was just pos
sible to squeeze it into stall. The
cost is about $4,000.
A tender with water capacity of
5000 gallons is the most remark
able feature Of the engine. The
weight of the engine and tender, not
loaded, is over 14O tons. The length
over all is seventy-two feet. The
cylinders are 25 by 23 inches. The
valve gear is the Waelschert or
monkey motion" type. The drivers
are arranged in the Pacific type and
are over six feet high. The super
heater flues in which the live steam
is carried through heated corridors
and raised to an extreme tempera-
ture before using are Az inches in
diameter.

JAPANESE SOME
BETTER today
Subjects Show Their Devotion in
Large Number of
Ways.
PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN
All Possible Arrangements Made
for Stable Gov
ernment.

Toxic, July 22.-More favorable
news concerning the illness of the
emperor of Japan came from the
palace this morning. The secretary
to the imperial household announc-
ed at 8 o'clock that the condition Of
his majesty was considerably i'm
proved and that the attending
court physicians were more hope
full. The emperor fell asleep at mid
night and had nearly six hours un-
disturbed rest.
At 6 a. m. his temperature was
100h degrees Fahrenheit, which
was drop of 31z degrees within a
few hours.
Earlier reports gave the pulse at
so and respiration "a and, although
the heart showed some weakness,
the symptoms were not considered
alarming.
Throughout the country, even in
the remotest villages, Buddhists,
Shintoists and Christians of every
sect engaged in services yesterday
for the emperor's recovery. several
of them especially illustrating the
depth of national feeling. A Shinto
last night aseended Fruji, the loftiest
mountain of Japan, and at dawn
prayed from the summit. An old
woman, following the custom, in the
provinces, sequestered herself in the
depths of forest, communing with
the spirits and begging salvation for
the emperor.
Every precaution has been taken
against any disturbing effect of the
announcement Of the emperor's S
death. The most unruly soldiers
have been confined to barracks and
the newspapers have been warned
not to publish sensational rumors.
Owing to the absence Of precedent
under the constitutional regime fur
ther proceedings in the event of the
death of the emperor cannot be out
lined, but there is reason to believe
every preparation has been careful
ly made, although not announced.
