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.

turn state's evidence and appear as a
witness for the prosecution. He stated

been manufacturing tubes for the Navy
Department since 1838, but that the con
spiracy was entered into in li02, the de
fendants being superintendent and as
sistant superintendent of the Greenville
mill of the company. -

PREDICTS COAL FAMINE
Union Official Says Road Will Sell
No More Coal.
CHBYENNB. Wyo May 6. "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."
