gether 25,OOO,OOO people fell victims to
its ravages.
In 1885 the sweating sickness" ap-
peared in England, causing great de-
struction Of human life. 1t reappear-
ed at various intervals for century
thereafter The last terrible visitation
of the plague in England was in
1664-66, by which 100000 lives were
lost in London alone.
This epidemic was followed by the
great fire of 1866. which destroyed 49,
600 houses, including all the most
densely populated portions of the city.

TAFT ROAD ROLLER
RAN OVER CUMM|NS
President Will Have is of the
26 Delegates at Chicago
Convention.
fNatfonal News Association,

CEDAR RAPIDS. Ia, April IS
President Taft will go to Chicago with
sixteen Of the twenty-six delegates
from Iowa Senator Albert H. Cum
minis will have ten. Whether the
Iowan's name will be presented to the
national convention at all is a question
today. State leaders who assert that
the steam roller was used on the Cum
minis men. asserted today the delega-
ties would not be released from their
pledge to the Iowan. and that they
would be kept as a neucleus of dark
horse" movement. Taft supporters as
sert that Taft's victory eliminates
Cummins entirely as a possibility in
Chicago.
Taft forces after two days of jockey
ing and delegate swapping controlled
the convention by Al votes. The first
test showed he had 761 delegates to
Cummins 100. Then the roller was
brought out and run through the hall.
Short positive resolutions endorsing
the Taft administration and pledging
the delegates at large to him were
passed
1T was an old-time caucus conven-
ton. We were beaten by proxies that
fell into the hands of Taft men," was
Cummins' comment as he left for
Washington.

Advice In Securing Riches.

Frederick Weyerhaeuser, the st. Paul
multimilionaire. once gave the follow
your mind to work at something really
worthy of work and work hard. The
surest way to make money is to save
money and to use what you have.
Don't be afraid of long hours or con-
slant attention to your work. Work
can be made a joy. an economy, a
pleasure, If you combine an object
worth while with the determined am
bition to win. ANY young man can
get rich, can succeed, If he saves, If he
$ has definite and honest purpose and
is so filed with the purpose that work
ceases to be a hardship and becomes a
privilege"

IMPROVEMENTS IN
CITY ARE COSTLY
Strict Economy Will Have to
Be Followed by Board
From Now On.

Economy must be the plan OF the
city government in ordering more
street improvements. The city has al
ready overdrawn it's street department
appropriation and has had to transfer
funds from other departments to keep
up with the demand for funds. West
Main street, FIT. Wayne avenue, and
East Main street have made heavy
drains on the Improvement fund.
The improvement of North Twenty
second street from Main to F streets
was up for consideration today. Co
ment sidewalks. curbs. and cutters
were asked for. This would cost the
city a large sum, probably over $4,000
because Glen Park fronts on the east
side. The board decided to continue
tho proposed Improvement.
TT. Wayne avenue from the railroad
to r street will be bricked. No protests
against this improvement were made.
This will also cost the city large
sum. as the improvement of the street
in front of the park near r street
must be borne by the city. The city
will pay $4,000 on the improvement,
and payits share of the street I'm
provement in front of the park.
Not howl. not a wall, nor even a
negative grunt was heard when in
deadly silence this morning the board
confirmed the improvement calling for
tho paving Of West Main street from
the river west to West Fifth street.
! The city will pay $4,000 on the i'm
provement- The property owners have
ten days yet in which to demonstrate.
Cement sidewalks. curbs and cutters
for North Twenty-second street from
. Main to F streets was held over The
cost to the city would be too great.
The improvement of North Eleventh
street from G. to streets, calling for
cement sidewalks, curbs and cutters.
was modified to call for only side
walks. ..a>
The board confirmed the resolution
for a cement alley between Eighth
and Ninth streets from the first alley
south Of Main street, south to A street.

OUR MOST HYBRID WORD.

"Rsmaoadam milling" Can Boast Of Hay
ing Five Language Parents.
The most hybrid word In the English
language, according to Professor A. F.
Chamberlain of Clarke university,
writing in the Popular Science Month
~, is "remacadamizlng,' Professor
Clarke points out that this word is de-
rived from five languages--Latin, Gao
lie. Hebrew, Greek and En>iish. He
resolves it into its factors as follows:
First.-Re, Latin prefix, signifying
repetition or doing over again.
Second.-Mac, Gaelic word for son,
in common use as a prefix for genoa
logical purposes. ...
Third.-Adam, the representative IN
many European languages of the He
brew name of the first man, according
to the Mosaic account of the creation
as given in the book of Genesis.
Fourth.-Iz (or ize). the modern Eng
lish representative, through the French,
iser Of the Greek verbal terminal izein.
Fifth.-Ing, the English suffix Of the
participle present, verbal noun. etc.
The root of this word, "macadam,''
illustrates In another way the vitality
of our English speech and its ability
to draw new words into Its vocabulary
whenever the need arises. The term
"macadam" is really the family name
Of the man, John Macadam, who in
1919 devised the now common method
Of paving roads with small broken
stones, etc. Celtic and Semitic had al
rooAv co,phlpad "a y,roduco mo 20 a q n,
meaning "son Of ADAM" which the
English language. then took up and
further nodded to suit it's genius.
There are many such hybrids, but
this fs probably the worst.
