Marrow Escape froml Death.

John Peterson is at the home of bis
son Clarencs slowly recovering from
severe injuries received Saturday night
at the power house, where he3was en-
ployed when a 22OO.volt electric cur
rent passed throughthis body.
The accident occurred at about 900
o'clock when Mr.. Petersonjwent to the
switch board to turn :.on the street
lights. This is done with plug on
which is rubber handlelf insulation,

far enough down on.:.this :plug.:to have
been Off the insulstion.,ss sswhen lths cur
rent went intotis BODY, and tthst ths
other hand was burned: lin IN endeavor
to break away. He was made uncon-
scious at once and fell backward pull
ing the plug out and breskiug the cir:
cult which, no doubt, saved his life.
When he regained3 consciousness, he
got up and went to his room nearby
where he applied some salve to his
hands and feet. not: realizing at the
time how badly these members were
burned. He returned: to ::the power
house and again turned on the street
lights and then telephoned for help.
Herman Lidtke brought him :up town
where he received medical attention
and at this writinglit is probable that
it will be necessary to amputate some
of his fingers and toes. Both hands
and feet were badly burned and bis
head was cut when he fell. This seems
to be the extent of the injuries he re-
ceived. Mr.. Peterson was wearing Q
pair of cloth shoes at the time of the
accident the soles of which were entire

CRESCO COUNTY, IOWA, FRIDAY, AUGUST l, 19l9
Superintendent lis. Given Degree.


Arthur Isaac Tiss of Cresco received
the degree of master of arts at the
midsummer convocation of the Uni
versity of Iowa held here this after
noon. Fifty-two degrees and nine GER
tificates of education were conferred.
From a platform erected between
two huge boulders bearing the inscrip'
tions of the classes of 1870 and 1880
the orator of the day, DR.. George w.
Stewart, prominent scientist and head
of the university department of physics,
spoke on achievement
Leonardo da Vinci back in the fif-
teenth century designed the airplane. y
DR.. Stewart stated in telling the grad
yates of how slowly some great inven-
tions had come, land it was only few
years ago that the Wrights succeeded
in making one go 852 feet" He de-
scribed how quickly inventions had
come about during the war, such -
perfecting of submarine detectors, air.
plane detectors. and airplane telephony.
All inventions are the result of hard
work rather than genius, DR.. Stewart
believes, and chance and inspiration
play q far less important part in them
then is supposed.
In addition to the degree given Mr..
Tiss the degree of Doctor Of Dental
Surgery was given Willard F. Todd and
Harley E. Gill, both of Cresco.

Republican Party is Reducing Self to
"A Concentrated Crowl."

Aptly referring to the Republican
party as "a concentrated growl, u
Champ Clark. Democratic leader, fay
ed the carping critics of President
Wilson in spirited speech in the House
of Representatives during debate
over the veto of the Sundry Civil sp.
preparation bill because of the made.
quate amount apportioned for the vo-
cational training of disabled American
soldiers. It wss noticeable that the re-
msinder of the debate was barren of
presidential criticism; moreover, the
appropriation for the soldiers was rails
ed from six to fourteen million dollars
through Democratic insistence.
II have not always agreed with
President Wilson," said Mr.. Clark,
''and l never do agree with every thing
that any man who ever lived does, and
never will. When have differed with
him have come out into the open and
fought like q man, taking all the SIAN
der, lies and filth which editors, hoping
for some reward, could heap on me.
l have not sided in and out as the gen.
tleman from Wyoming (Mondell, Re.
publican floor lesder) and his followers
are doing.
'Certainly the great Republican par.
ty does not propose to reduce itself
simply to q concentrated growl? But
that is exactly what you are doing.
The whole speech Of the gentleman
from Wyoming was nothing but q
growl, and he is getting to be the
greatest growler on the American con-
tnent, bar none.
2 "Anybody can find fault. That is
one of the easiest performances known
among men. Any plug can 60 out
with an ordinary telescope and find
spots on the sun. They are there; they
have always been and always will be;
but Notwithstanding the spots the sun
continues, to warm and light and fruc-
tify the world. You can talk all you
please about the spots on the present
President of the Uuited States, but
Notwithstanding. the fact stands forth
that by the verdict of the civilized
world he is the foremost man in all the
world. He needs no eulogy. As Dan
iel Webster said about Massachusetts.

for yourselves and there is not man

his own reputation, both for intelli-
gence and veracity,, not q single one.

Makiux Themselves Ridiculous.

One of the Republican newspapers
gloats over the fact thar certain Re-
publican senators do not indicate vii.
lingness to accept the Presidents invi-
tation to visit the White House and
discuss with him the terms of the peace
treaty. Among the sbsentees are cer-
tain senator's who have been loudest in
damnation Of the treaty and condem-
nation Of the President, no matter what
he may or may not do. And one of tho
things they have damned him4oudest
for was his alleged tendency toc''go it
alone. to refuse to take senators into
his confidence.
8ut now that the treaty is ready and
the senate's innings are at hand, ::these
senators who have been most vocifer-
Gus in their denunciation are not..dis-
posed to take advantage Of thseoppor-
tunity they have been so loudly de-
manding, to 60 over the treaty's::pro-
visions with the President.
1t is strange that critics of this type
are so blind that they cannot see that
they are making themselves ridiculous;
that they cannot understand that his
position will become impregnable be-
cause of their refusal of the oppor-
tunity to go over the terms of tho
treaty and the articles of the League
covenant freely and frankly1with him.
He was instrumental in the drafting;
he is more familiar with the terms than
they. Is it not their duty under their
oath Of Office to gain all the informa-
ton they may from him or any other
source. so they can more intelligently
dis charge their duty when the time
comes to vote on ratification. We be-
lieve the American peopleifeel that::it is.

London, May 26th-While there is no
confirmation from other sources that Nj
colai Lenine the Bolshevik Premier of Rus
STA has proposed an armistice to Admiral
Kolchak head of the All Russian Govt.
at Omsk, there are indications that the
Bolshevik are anxious over the future OF
Pe.rograd and Moskow. A wireless Rus
sian despatch states that the defence
Committee of Moscow is appealing for
women volunteers for military service
in towns and admits that no Bolshevik
troops are fighting in the outskirts of
Runa on the left bank of the Dvina.
According to a despatch from Reuters
correspondent with the allied forces in
Murmansk which reflects military views,
there is 20 doubt entertained that Pc
trograd can be taken but says its cap
ture would be useless owing to the ina
bility of the allies to feed the population
as the British line of communication is
now five hundred miles long with a sin
gle line of railway. The correspondent
adds that admiral Kolchak's troops
should be in Viatka in six weeks and
soon afterwards should be in touch
with the Archangel front, and once
supplies from Siberia are assured, the Gao
ture IF Moscow and Petrograd will be
a matter of only a short time.
London, May 18th. Esthonian troops
have captured the important railway
junction of Pskov between Riga and Pc
trograd, according to reports from Hell
singfors received in Copenhagen and
transmitted by the Exchange Telegraph
Company. By a surprise attack on Fri
day night Esthonian forces broke
through the Bolshevik positions along
the whole front captured IzbCrsk and
advanced to within six miles OF
Pskov capturing 1000 prisoners and
many cannon and machine guns, accord
ing to an official statement issued at Is
thonian Staff Headquarters. The Estho-
Man surprise attack referred to took
place Friday night. The Esthonian staff
, 1919-05-29

reported the capture of lzborsk and an
advance to within six miles of Pskov to-
gether with the taking of 1000 prisoners
and many cannon and machine guns.
At the last previous report the Bolshevlk
and the Let's were cOnteStlng for posses
sion of Riga and the statement that
the Bolshevik forces have retired to new
positions east of that city indicates their
forced evacuation OF it.
London, May 26th Thousands of dis
charged soldiers and sailors out of en-
ployment armed with stones and other
missiles marched towards the House of
Commons today. They came into con
fict with the police barring the approach
es however, and were scattered. Later
the procession was reformed and march
ed towards Buckingham Palace, but the
demonstration broke up before it reached
the Palace. There were no further dis
orders. The demonstration followed a
big meeting held in Hyde Park during
the afternoon where discharged soldiers
and sailors demanded work and a mini
mum wage scale. Similar demonstra-
tons were held throughout the country
during the day.
Trinidad, May 27th-Over 400 men re-
turned to Trinidad from the front by the
Transport Ajax" yesterday morning.
They were welcomed at the landing stage
by the Mayor of Port-of- Spain and a re-
preventative gathering and marched to
the Savannah under triumphal arches
and through streets bedecked with flags
and emblems Of welcome. The crowd
was so enormous and enthusiastic that
the men kept their ranks with difficulty.
His Excellency the Governor addressed
them at the race stand after which they
partook of a snmptuous repast at the
Princes Building where many ladies'
assisted in serving it.
