A very bad accident occurred Tues
day evening when Miss Anna Nelson
was severely burned on the face and
chest by steam which escaped from
the vulcanizer in DR.. sHockings office.
Miss Nelson was first rendered uncon-
sclous, but she managed to find her
way into the hall where she was found
by a doctor and her sister was sent
for. She was taken home. The pains
caused her much suffering for many
hours, but she is convalescing rapidly.
and will be about in a short while. /.

Iowa VIII Remain LOYAL.

Sioux City Journal: Without much
hesitation, Iowa progressives, in the
main, are advising an acceptance of
the Chicago platform and ticket.
They are not ready for new party.
1t may be true that the adjectiyal dis
tinctions by which the party in Iowa
has been classified will be eliminated
By the time the campaign for the No
yemhcr election is under way. Iowa
viii remain Republican state. It will
continue to do business with the Re.
publican party. Iowa Democrats may
hope to show gain. but their hope will
rest with united Democratic par,~.
It is safe to say, whatever may come
out Of Baltimore, that Iowa Democrats
VIII remain regular, as they did fol.
lowing the nomination OF Judge Park
er In 1904. We shall have in this
state this year the Republican party
and the Democratic party. A measure
OF reaiignment is to be expected. 1t

DEATHS IN AMERICAN MINES.

That the high tide in the terrible
death rate in American coal mines has
been reached and passed is the conf
led States bureau of mines. Figures
Just issued by the bureau show that
I2,517 men were killed in the mines
last year as against 1854 for 1910.
This shows reduction in the number
OF lives of 31T in one years time The
death rate in 1910 was 3.91 men in
every 1000 employed. The rate in
1911 was 3.14.
Compared with 1907, the darkest
year in the history American mining,
when 3,197 men lost their lives, 1911
shows decrease of $50 in the number
|of men killed. 1t was following the
record CT this year that congress au
Ithorized the government to begin il
vestigations looking toward a reduc-
ton in the death rate and this was sup
plemcnted in 1910 by the creation of
the bureau of mines.
While these latest mortality Stats
tics in the coal mines of the country
show slight improvement over the
Iprevicus years, the United States has
still no record to be proud CT. In
sr.ite of the progress we have made,
We are still far below the standard of
safety that we ought to have reached.
It is of course comforting to know
that for each year since 1907 there
has been a decreasing number Of men
killed for every million tons of coal
mined, and that for every life lost we
have each year taken out of the earth
more tons of coal. This is an improve
mont in the right direction. 1t is
hoped that within the next year or
two we will see as great an improve
ment in the reduction of the number of
men killed per 1000 men employed.
The bureau is cooperating with the
state mine inspectors, the mine work
ers and with the mine operators in an
fcult problems come. ted with the
coal mining industry in this country.
In this effort all the above forces are
cooperating in coed spirit in the de-
termination to bring about better con-
ditions. In this cooperative effort
there is also serious need of the states
men. No branch OF industry in this
country is on so bad an economic
basis today as is the coal mining in
dustry and this industry can never be
placed on satisfactory basis until,
through important Legislative changes,
improvement in this economic basis is
made possible.

THE FIRST SETTLER OF FORT
MADISON.

In the current number of the An
mails of Iowa. published by the state
historical department, appears pro-
file cut and biographical sketch of
General John H. Knapp. the first per-
manent settler OF Fort Madison Gem
eral Knapp was born in Goshen,
Orange county, New York, May 80.
1871, and as a young man learned the
saddle-maker's trade. During the war
of 1872 he served as lieutenant In a
company of New York state militia.
Later he became brigadier general OF
the same militia and thus acquired the
title by which he was called the re-.
mainder of his life.
General Knapp came west in the
fall OF 1880 and went down the Miss
issippi river to New Orleans, where
ne remained two winters. In the early
spring of 1882 he returned to the site
of Fort Madison, with which he had
been greatly pleased on first behold
ing it, bought out the claim Of man
named Augustus Horton to the land
on which the old fort had stood and
at once began the erection of the
first building in the new Fort Madi-
son. In the meantime he went up the
river and took part in the Black
Hawk war. The building he erected
in 1892 was located on the bank OF
the river just below where Morrison's
pillow works now stand. This he util-
lied as a supply store.
In 1885 he built a residence of
heWed logs, utilizing for it one of the
stone chimneys of the old fort. The
old well Of the fort was still there.
This he cleaned out and it has been
in use ever since. In 1856 he built
a large hotel near his residence. 1t
could accommodate about fifty guests
with rooms and had an assembly room
about twenty by forty feet In size II
was named the Madison House and
was the first hotel built there. IN
June, 1885, assisted by Nathaniel
Knapp. he laid out the town of Fort
Madison. On January 2. 1887 re-
ception and New Years ball was given
in the Madison House in honor Of Gen
eral Knapp. While attending it he
caught cold and died two days later
of qninsy. His grave and monument
are in the southeast corner of the
cemetery at Fort Madison. He was
the first person buried there.

Keep the Boy Busy.

not mean complete idleness for the
boy who is large enough to attend

were taught the proper rse OF knife
and Ratchet, how to light, care for,
and put out camp fires. Some learned
to cook meat and potatoes and some
went on the hoe cake, biscuit, pan
cake, hunters stew, scrambled eggs,
fried fish and baking a twist, fer their
attachments, and all thoroughly test
ed.
Many OF the boys have started saw
ings bank accounts out OF their own
earnings and many have learned the
use of the compass in technical
sense. Trampings in the woods have
brought reports of things seen and
show careful observation, as becomes
scouts. The names of the trees have
been acquired and ability to distin-
guish them from each other Some
have taken up clay modelling, and
some electricity and some the fife
and drum.
Such things are most encouraging
and hopeful for the education of boys,
especially Of those Who live in cities
and have not the priceless privilege
OF growing up in the country. The
boy scout movement and organization
Is one OF the best things in modern
society, SO well is it conducted and
SO admirable the results.

Fully Earned the Honor.

Des Moines Capital: President Taft
has been renominated because ma
jority Of the delegates, in response to
the sentiments of the constituency
which sent them to Chicago, realized
that he had earned the honor as fully
as any man that ever preceded him:
because they realized that the repudi-
alton Of President Taft meant the re-
pudiation of the work of his admins
tration of the last four years, and that
such reputation would be confess
sion of judgment by default, under
the handicap Of which no party could
possibly win at the polls.

PREVENTION OF FoURTH-oF.
JULY TEIANuS.

II is important to sound a note OF
warning each year just before the
annual celebration of Independence
Day, calling attention to the possibili-
ties of further reducing the mortality
of tetanus. Consultation of the an
nual compilations made by the Jour
nal of the American Medical Asso-
citation of the tetanus cases occurring
as the result of Fourth-of-July celebra-
tons since 1903 show that there has
been a gradual reduction in number.
In 1903 there were AS cases of
tetanus in the United States as the
result Of Fourth-of-July injuries: in
1911 there were only eighteen. OF
the eighteen cases of tetanus occur
ring in 1911. ten. or So per cent. ter
minated fatally. as compared with 90
per cent in 1910, 81 per cent in 1909
and 70 per cert in 1908.
While these figures are very crafty
ing they can still be improved Tetan-
us, and particularly deaths as the
result of tetanus, are Almost entirely
avoidable. Not only the la7man. but
also the physician. should be impress
| ed with the fact that death from
tetanus should practically never oc-
cur The loss of life from this cause
must be ascribed entirely to the neg
/ lect of the patient or his parents to
4 seek medical advice early enough af-
I ter the injury The experience of
,
bantitoxin Is most valuable, but entire
dependence should not be placed on
it to the neglect of other treatment.
tAntitoxin is not substitute for surgi-
cal care and treatment: 1t is an aid
thereto Fatal results may occur be-
cause antitoxin is injected too late or
4 because the local infection Is not Civ
en- the necessary attention The anti
toxin should be used at the earliest
! possible opportunity, in sufficiently
4 large doses. The injections may be
/ repeated often and the dosage in.
creased without doing harm to the
patient.
The most essential curative meas
ure is the proper treatment Of the
wound. The tetanus prcillus dies on
exposure to air. and it is most i'm.
portant that every part of the wound
fhe exposed freelS to the air. TIE
presence of even an infnitesimal ouan.
/ tlty of oxygen stops its activities.
therefore, a sufficient supply of oxy.
gen will prevent its growth and the
production of its poisons. Free Incl.
sion under general or local anesthesia
/ exposes the wound sufficiently TO the
air. Thorough removal of every nar.
ticle of foreign material from the
wound and the application of light
