COME EARLY AS POSSIBLE randest Suit B ' We've ar gains Ever Offered IAN MACLAREN DEAD Famous Scotch Novelist Vic tim of Tonsilitis. SUDDEN ILLNESS IN IOWA Dr. John Watson, Who Has Won Hosts of Hearts With Character Sketches Scotch by Choice. Not by Birth. MOUNT PLEASANT. 7a.. May 6. Dr. John Watson (Ian MacLaren) died here today of blood poisoning:, following ton sflltls. He was taken III here April 25. Dr. "Watson came to Mount Pleasant on April 23 from Minnea polls to deliver a lecture to the students of the Iowa Wes ley an Vniversity. Kn route he became ill and was com pelled to cancel the engagement. The ill ness, which was declared to be tonsilitis. progressed favorably. Last Monday and Tuesday the patient was able to be about. Wednesday an abscess formed upon the right ear. The system absorbed pus and in a few hours developed serious symp toms. Blood poisoning: set in and on Sat urday another abscess started to form in the left ear. The patient's condition was aggravated by a bad attack of rheuma tism. Dr. Watson's end was sudden and un expected and was hastened by a weak heart. His wife, who was his constant companion in his last illness, left the room at 11 o'clock. She was gone 15 min utes and on returning found her husband lifeless. That Dr. John Watson, better known as Ian MacLaren. has died in a foreign land. ' far awa from his ain countrie," will be read with genuine regret by countless thousands of readers throughout the world, not only among the English-speaking race, but among peoples of other na tions who through translations have been thrilled by the magic touch of the great story-teller. The Scotch will regard the loss of so eminent a literary man as pe culiarly their own. for they Idolised him as a son. They had only one faulP to rind with "Ian Macl-aren" that he was not born In Scotland. He more than unce wittily retorted that his taste had not been consulted in the matter of his having been born at Manning-tree, I-issex, Kn gland. November 3, 1S50. With Barrio o.il others of that ilk. Dr. Watson KRl renown aa chief of the "kailyard" novel ists, and on his tomb will be written In affectionate remembrance; "Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush." A man is not a sailor because he was born on a ship. So, Dr. Watson's asser tion that he was Scotch gains weight when one, remembers that environment, education, and work all unite in deter mining a man's nationality. In Dr. Wat son s case, he was taken while young across the Knglish border and was edu cated at Edinburgh University New Col lege and at the University of Tubingen, licensed in 1874 to preach by the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, and be gan ministerial work as assistant minis ter of the Barclay Church, Edinburgh. One year later was destined to be the most constructive and telling year of Dr. Watson's life, for he was then, ordained minister of Logiealmond (Drumtochty) Free Presbyterian Church, Perthshire. Here among the Scotch country folk he formed in his heart of hearts those im mortal types of douce. God-fearing, stern eyed yet kindly-voiced men and women who afterward gained world-wide fame as his "people of "Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush" and other sketches. He chose his characters from the folk he met with in his ministry, and none were so surprised as they in after years to find they had been "put Into a bulk." Many of them wished they had better shaped their lives and watched their tongues be fore they lived in cold type. At first. Dr. Watson was innocently un aware of his marked literary talent as a writer of Scotch dialect stories, until a friend recognized that a Scotch novelist of power enough to grip people's hearts and Wing the warm tears to their eyes had arrived. Dr. Watson stipulated, how ever, that he would first publish his sketches under the nom-de-plume of "Ian MacLaren" until his readers had given their verdict. "The Bonnie Briar Bush" was the result and was received with a wave of enthusiasm both In Great Britain and this country. In the new clergyman novelist it was felt that Scotland at length possessed a new star to brighten the literary sky already adorned by the genius of Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. Dr. MacLaren's character sketches "George Howe," "Marget Howe" and "Dr. Weelum MacClure" became house hold words, and laughter and tears were so strangely mingled in his work that the command went forth, "Write." Other dialect sketches typifying life and charac ter in Highland and semi-Highland par ishes followed in "The Days of Auld Lang Syne" (1S95, "Kate Carnegie" 1S96), "A Doctor of the Old School (1S97), "After wards" and "Rabbie Saunderson, both published one year later. His most laughable sketches were probably those describing "The Young Barbarians," deal ing with Scotch school boys. As a writer on religious subjects in essay form Dr. Watson wrote "The Upper Room" 1S9:; "The Mind of the Master'" U8i6: "The Potter's Wheel" (1897); "Companions of the Sorrowful Way" 1 898 : "Doctrines tit Grace" (1900), and "Tne Life of the Master" 11901). Dr. Watson also won fam as preacher. After Logiealmond, he be came minister in 1877 of Free St. Mat thew's, Glasgow, and three years later accepted a call to Sefton Park Presby terian Church, Liverpool. Jn 1896- he was Lyman Beecher lecturer at Tale University, and in 1903 was moderator of tho synod of the Presbyterian Church of England. The University of St. Andrews conferred upon him the degree of doctor of divinity. As a lecturer Dr. Maclaren traveled extensively and the mere rumor that "Drumtochty" was in the neighborhood was Mufflclent to thrill all the Scotch within hail and fill the hall. His pro grammes consisted generally of selec tions from his own writings, complete ly winning the hearts of his hearers. He was not in the highest sense an orator, but rather dominated by his pathos, character and intellect. About seven years ago Dr. Maclaren lectured In this city, when the clans reverently sat under the spell of their great teach er. And so he Is dead. Rest him.

"I look for a greater coal famine next year than ever before, and the Union Pacific, which has always taken care of the people along its line, will no longer be able to do so on account of the Hepburn bill," is a state ment attributed to W. L. Park, general superintendent of the Union Pacific Rail way, by the Wyoming Tribune today. "The small dealers," Mr. Park is fur ther reported to have said, "have in a way depended upon the railroad for the supply of coal to help them out, and, un less they store their own coal during the coming Summer, they will face a famine in the Winter. Coal consumers along other lines where a similar arrangement has been maintained by coal-carrymg roads will meet the same emergency. The Union Pacific will store coal as usual this Summer, but will have none to sell." Peck Steps Into First Place. LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 6. Tom C.
