ANOTHER PLAGUE
VICTIM REPORTED
FROM PORTO RICO
Health Officials Give Out
Orders for More Care
full Watch.

Discovery today of a new and fatal
case of bubonlc plague at San Juan
Porto Rico, of a new plague suspect
at Havana, and of another suspect at
Santiago, Cuba, caused a redoubline of
vigilance on the part of health and
sanitation officials, and of effort to
stamp out the plague.
The death of the new plague victim
at San Juan, reported today to Surgeon
General Blue by Passed Assistant Sur
geon Creel, OF the Marine Hospital Ser
vice, brings the total number Of cases
in Porto Rico to thirty three, of which
twenty-five cases have ended in death.
Another cablegram TO Surgeon Cen
eral Blue announces the process of de-
ratization OF Havana began today.
Cuban officials gave orders all ships
must have rat guards, consisting of big
sheets Of metal placed on their
hawsers In the form of collars. Until
hawsers have been SO equipped, they
must be tarred and constantly guarded
lest rats make their way aboard by
means of these lines.
All freight. the orders say further,
must be loaded on vessels bound for
this country In open daylight and un-
der guard: Fumigauon before sailing
Is required and repetition Of this fu-
mtgation once month until further
notice is also required.

EXPERIENCED CAPABLE. MEN.

The coming election will determine
the choice or rejection of the best
men of the state Of Iowa, whom the
republican primaries designated in
June. The fact that pre-eminent
services have been rendered by
primary candidates is quite likely to
be considered. The people are scan

ton to choose the best for Iowa, the
richest state agriculturally that is
known on this sphere today; and it is
confidently stated that the republican
state primaries have placed in nomi-
nation the best men obtainable for
the endorsement of voters.

Hon. Geo. w. Clarke, of Abel
Des Moines last January. On this
occasion it will be remembered he
said that if he were elected governor
he would go into office perfectly
free and independent man, bound by
no pledges or promises; that he
would do everything he could proper
" do to reorganize or bring about a
reorganization of the school system:
that he would do all he could for a
solution of the good roads problem;
would stand for a reorganization OF
the present system Of taxation, and
lend all the aid he could; would do
all he could to better legal procedure,
decreasing court expenses and pre-
venting delays; and would work for
many other reforms that the people
Of Iowa have been trying to obtain in
years past, because he believes the
time for these reforms is ripe.
Mr.. Clarke is unequivocal in his
stand for workmen's compensation
law, where occupations are hazardous
and dangerous, for better sanitation
and stringent laws favoring pure
water supply; for reform in prison
management; and towards extending
every reasonable aid and Just encour-
agement to help make this state more
and more intensively agricultural.
Economical in his private life, it is
natural for him to urge every meas
ure looking to economy of admins
tration, and this he stated he desired
to attain, thus reducing the burden Of
taxation. Mr. Clarke is irrevocably
pledged against graft Of every name
and nature, and all have agreed who
have known him that he will, if elect
ed, conduct the public business Of the
state with the same care that good
business men conduct their private
affairs.
Mr.. Clarke takes no halfway
ground, and all admire him for de-
claring he is republican standing

that in the past the results Of the
agency of the republican party have
furnished the brightest pages of its
history. To have the best and all
