TRAGEDY
HANSON, WHO WAS REPORTED
INTOXICATED RECEIVES IN
JURY IN POOL ROOM. 49,
HANSON NOW IN HOSPITAL
Injured Man Suffering From Concus-
sion of Brain-view. that Accident
. Could Not be Avoided.

+ .=
A physical encounters between two
of the residents Of tie nFerrdfnafansec-
ton occurred on Wednesday of last week
which nearly ended in a tragedy and
as result one of the parties is at pres
emit in the st. Joseph hospital in Lew
iston suffering from the results of the
trouble.
According to the reports which have
come in Gregory Hanson, farm labor
er of Ferdinand, on Wednesday even
ing of last week visited the pool room
conducted by l.. G. Stonebraker of that
place and was under the influence of
liquor and in reported quarrelsome
mood. While in such condition he as
saulted George Stonebraker, father of
the proprietor of the place and com
bat ensued in which Hanson received a
blow on the head with nail-puller
which laid him PROSTATE. He was I'M
conscious from the time the blow was
received and Thursday morning he was
taken to Lewiston on the train.
After he arrived in Lewiston Hanson
was taken to the st. Joseph hospital
of that city and placed under the care
of DR.. E. G. Braddock He remained
unconscious up to Sunday when it was
determined that he was suffering from
concussion of the brain and an opera
ton was considered necessary to give
relief. During the day he recovered
consciousness but was incoherent in
speech.
An operation was performed by Doc
tor Braddock on Monday and the re-
ports which have been received is that
the injured man is doing nicely and has
chance to recover. Deputy William
Eller visited Ferdinand the first of the
week to investigate the matter but no
arrests were made. In fact no none
has indicated any intention of swear
ing out warrant and it seems that
Notwithstanding the seriousness of the
injury that the responsibility crimi-
nalfy could not justly be placed upon
Mr.. Stonebraker under the circum-
stances of the case. The affair was
unfortunate and is as much regretted
by Mr.. Stonebraker as anyone but was
unavoidable in the opinion of many.

THE PREVENTION OF TYPHOID.

Anti typhoid vaccination in healthy
persons is a harmless procedure.
1t confers almost absolute immunity
against infection.
1t was, as stated, the principal cause
of the immunity of our troops against
typhoid in the recent Texas maneuvers.
Very little typhoid fever has occurred
in the present European war because of
the immunization of most of the armies.
The duration of the immunity is not
yet determined, but is assuredly two
and one-half years, and probably lon
ger.
1t apparently protects against the
chronic bacillus carrier, and is, at pres
ent, the only known means by which a
person can be protected against typhoid
under all conditions.
All persons whose profession or duty
involves contact with the sick should
be immunized.
The general vaccination Of an entire
community is feasible and could be
done without interfering with general
sanitary improvements.
Anti-typhoid vaccine is destined to
play an important part in the treatment
of typhoid fever.
The State Board of Health supplies
typhoid vaccine without charge.

COUNTRY AT GREATEST EPOCH

New York, Nov. 12.-Dpn's Review

In spite of the. rapidity of the move
ment there is no slackening of the ad-
vance that ,foreshadows the greatest
commercial development in the history
of the country. Following many
months of gradual recovery and adjust

come with such rush that reaction is
feared in some quarters, yet the econo-
mic position steadily gains in strength
and seldom ifaever has the situation SO
favored continued expansion. Business
is no longer wholly dependent upon
the war demand, the bumper crops, the
widespread increase in production, in
the working force, and in the power of
the people to purchase hoving estab-
lished prosperity. There is, lmereeyer,

GROWING Older,

As see 1t, growing older is the proc
ess of the reconciliation of the spirit to
life. Living is simply getting acquaint-
ed with the world we live In. The real
purpose of body is that it shall be
used up, worn out-and then thrown
away-in feeding the spirit. Whatever
happens to you in the outer world
translates itself finally into such sub
stance. That is what 1t is for. just as
the purpose of food is not to look pref
ty on china plates, but to be trans
formed into blood and mdscle. 1t is III
the natural order of things that the
body should be thus used and exhaust
ed. The unnatural and horrible thing
is that the body should be worn out
and yet the spirit remain unnourished-

| will take this opportunity to state
very briefly, yet l hope clearly, what
the relation of the Idaho Technical ms

as clearly defined in its name as is
that of a university, and agricultural
college or normal school, it seems
entirely proper and fitting for me to
do this.
One of the fundamental ideas of
public education in a democracy is that
of equality of opportunity for an edu.
cation. This idea can never be more
than approximated and in state of
great geographical extent such as
Idaho, this ideal so far as advantages
for higher education are concerned, is
most difficult even to approximate.
In their attempts to solve this per-
picking problem our legislative assem-
blies have finally settled upon the
definite policy of maintaining one nor
NAL school in the north and one in
the south. Our state university in the
northwest and the technical institute,
junior university or college, in the
southeast.
l believe that the people of the state
are now ready to accept this arrange
ment as final and as representing as
fair and equable a distribution of the
advantages for higher education as is
perhaps possible in state that has
