The convention hall was packed. Judge W. P. Mooney was made temporary chair man and on assuming the gavel he de llvered his address: He said in part: ''There will be today no contest as to the .platform declarations which our party ahall make. There Is no difference Of opinion. The democratic party of Ohio stands squarely upon every plank of the CMoago platform of 1896. We believed It then and we believe it now. "The people who sent us here do not believe in a double standard of dem ocracy. In 1896 the test was 'Are you loyal to the platform?' and that is the Ohio test' today. "The party in Ohio is too thoroughly honest, too desperately In earnest, to desire to be misunderstood. The re affirmation of the national platform does not eliminate and does not fall to both recognize .and emphasize that we demand the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and sliver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the consent or assistance of any nation on earth. "We believe that the demonetization of silver 1n this country in 1873 was ac complished by fraud and crime that the action was taken without any de mand for or consent by, the people of the United States, and we decline to be lieve that blessings have flowed or will flow from legislation so procured and so enacted. We still distrust the new found solicitude of England to promote our material welfare and we deny the right of the British parliament to par ticlpate in the government of this union In monetary or other matters. "The silver question is not dead, and till men cease to think, till the Ameri can people are willing to take their laws from Britain, till the republican party recognizes that not the existence, but the distribution, of wealth makes pros perity, till ease comes to the agricult ural classes, till a fair wage is paid to the mechanic and till content and sat •liver Is restored to its proper place in the coinage, the democratic party will •tand by the Chicago platform. "The money question 1s not, how ever, the only issue in this campaign. Everything, from pine lands to pea nuts, from steel rails to sardines, from straw board to sugar, from-tin cans to tobacco, from crackers to chewing gum, ,JiaB been organized Into a trust "Not only are these aggregations of "Wealth intended to control prices and to beat down wages, but in politics they threaten to affect our liberties, ife*' "We charge that the trusts of the country own this administration and that their title to.it was acquired by purchase, and until Mr. Hanna is de throned we insist that the trusts will continue as now to be in possession of their property so acquired. That the trusts can be controlled by the states only and not by the general govern tn«nt is a-matter of no consequence to «s, if they can be controlled at all. The republican party is at fault. So long as the attorney general of the United tion opposes entangling foreign alll ances proudly recognises the valor and glorious achievements of our gallant soldiers and sailors "from Bunker Hill tbi this very hour," but profoundly re gretk that "American soldiers are being unlawfully used in the nartje of liberty to crush and destroy dawning repub licanism In the orient denounces "se cret and vicious alliances now In evi dence between England and the repub lican administration, whereby this na tion may become involved in war with foreign nations."

It de mands that 'all articles the prices of which are controlled by trusts be placed on the free list, denounces the attorney general for not enforcing anti-trust laws, demands "cessation of national bonded debt building to curse poster ity." The following names or the candi dates for nomination for governor were then made: John R. McLean, Cincin nati Col. James Kllbourne, Columbus J. A. Rice, Canton C. N. Haskell, Ot tawa Gen. I. R. Sherwood, Toledo J. E. Seward, Mansfield. McLean was nominated on the first ballot. THE GRANT ARRIVES. North Dakota, Idaho and Wyomtnjj Troops Aboard—Five Deaths. San Francisco, Aug. 30.—The trans port Grant arrived from Manila with the North Dakota, Idaho and Wyoming troops. There were five deaths during the voyage. ltebols to Make Attack. Manila, Aug. 30.—It is reported that Aguinaldo has ordered the rebel gener als of the province of Cavite to take the town of Imus. The Americans are en trenching the town and have no fear of the result of any attack. O New York, Aug. 30.—Correspondence of the Evening Post, dated Manila, July 21, discusses the round robin of the newspaper correspondents regarding censorship, declares that the truth faction comes to, those who toil,. ua|& then conWuues: States is selected and Inducted into ofllce because he is a trust lawyer, and BO long as an attorney general of the state of Ohio Is retired to private life because he has undertaken in this re epect to enforce the law, the republican party must fail in its declaration th(j.t it is opposed to trusts. "In condemning the doctrine of im perialism we in no manner abandon our soldiers in the field. But at the same time, whenever a purse-proud, trust controlled administration dares array our flag or forces against a people fight lng for the God-given right to ruie themselves whenever the sum total of a people's offending is that they desire to be free, it will be the duty of the 'democratic party to be brave enough to expose the pretense, to tear the mask from the covered face of fraud and greed and avarice, and proclaim that the recognition of such a war for fcuch purposes is un-American and must be brought to a close. "We proclaim that there shall be be neath our flag no slaves, no subjects, no colonists, who cannot be citizens, and lest we be late, we proclaim it now. Commercial empire must not be placed before principle the doctrine, the recognition of which made Us a great, free people, must not be ignored, de parted from or limited, and we profess our lasting adherence to the doctrine that all men are created free and equal. "We affirm that the war in the Phil ippines, as at present conducted, Is one of criminal aggression, and we find no difference in the situation the adminis tration occupies than the one occupied ly Spain in the Philippines before the surrender. Whatever rights we have were acquired by purchase from Spain our right is no higher." He closed with an eulogy of Bryan. Two reports were received from the committee on credentials and a long wrangle followed by representatives of the various factions. Finally the ma jority report was adopted, 487 to 303. This is a victory for John R. McLean. The reports on permanent organiza tion and resolutions were then adopted.

The official report for the forty-eight hours ending at 7 o'clock last night gives 15.46 inches of rainfall. Canvas tents do not stand that sort of thing. "Newsmen were not allowed to tele graph the fact that notices had been freely posted offering $30 (Mexican sil ver, equivalent to $15 American money) to every Filipino Ins-urgent who would come in and give up his gun.

N., on assuming the governorship of the island of Guam, has been received here. It declares all political power exercised by the clergy abolished and freedom of worship established says all lands and property, rights and privileges held by Spain is vested in the United States. He explains that laws not in conflict with the terms of the proclamation are continued in force. AH persons are called on to render prompt obedience, with a view to securing happiness and prosperity under the free flag of the United States. /llcvolutlonlstH Succeed. Washington, Aug. 3(5.—-That the revo lutionists in San Domingo have been successful in overturning the govern ment is not doubted by the officials, in view of the dispatches received at the departments. A cablegram was received from Capt Edwin Longnecker, commanding the cruiser New Orleans. On account of the interruption in cable communication Capt. Longnecker was compelled to send his message by boat to Santiago de Cuba, from which point it was cabled to Washington. It is therefore two days old. He stated that the recognized gov ernment had sent commissioners to con fer with the revolutionists for the pur pose of brlnging about peace, and that the entire trouble was due to the condi tion of the currency of the island. He further stated that a French man-of war Is lying alongside of the New Or leans In the harbor of Santo Domingo. Undoubtedly, if the situation requires such action, the French commander, following the lead of Capt. Longnecker, will land marines to provide protection for French citizens and their interests. Start for the Coast. Harrlsburg, Pa., Aug. 30. The Twenty-Beventh Regiment started to day for San Francisco, enroute to the Philippines in fwt ~n sf T-lJ ft C. F. Saylor Tells of Some Reasons Why it is Bard to Interest Farmers. State Has So Many Sure Things That There is No Need to Experiment. Big: Day at the State Fair—The New State Chairman Comment. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Aug. 30.—"Why doesn't Iowa take more interest In the develop ment of beet BUgar manufacture?" was asked of C. F. Saylor, apostle-in-chlef of the beet sugar propaganda of the na tional department of agriculture, yes terday. Mr. Saylor has traveled all over thia country, investigating the cul ture of sugar beets and their manufac ture into sugaa-. He spent last winter in Cuba and will spend the coming one in Hawaii, on further inquiries into the sugar business as carried on In those countries. "Because the people of Iowa have so many sure things that they don't need to experiment," replied Mr. Saylor, sen tentlousiy. "Out in the mountain states, where they have to irrigate, and there fore are compelled to Intensify their farming in Nebraska, where they are never sure of crops such as we raise In Iowa, and in many other states which have not the agricultural advantage of our state, they are compelled to look to every new thing which promises large profits. But in Iowa we don't have to do this. We have other things from which our people know, by long experi ence, that they can earn sure returns." Anybody who may be Inspired by a curiosity to know just what Mr. Saylor meant, would find an answer if he would visit the state fair grounds today, or any other day this week. At 11 o'clock this morning 500 head of the fin est cattle in the world were paraded In front of the grand stand, on the fair grounds. John Cownie, who is general ly considered a pretty good farmer, and who ought to know what he Is talking about, declared it was the finest cattle show ever presented, not only in Iowa, but in the United States. "I know all about the stock show at the world's fair," added Mr. Cownie, "and I will b% backed by every stockman here when say that we have a better stock e^hlb Jlt than was to be seen .at the Chicago exposition" There "are "herds from all over the country, the very finest ani mals in their different breeds that the world affords. You know, Iowa raises the best cattle in the world now. Thir ty-eight per cent of the horses exported from this country last year went from Iowa. Down in the southern part of the state there are scores of firms which buy and- ship horses by the carload the year around. But the greatest thing of this fair is the cattle showing. There are just about 500 head, and nobody should fail to see them. We haven't stall room enough to give them good accommodations: nothing like the num ber was ever seen on the grounds be fore." leading, as it does, in horses, in cattle, in corn, in hogs—in value of agricultur al products as a whole, in the quality and the value of its annual butter out put with its coal mines now taking a place in the forefront of the country, in value of their annual output: with magnificent crops this year and the reputation of being the surest crop country in the world—why, it really isn't much wonder that the people of Iowa are getting to be proud of their state, and that the rest of the world re gards it as an ideal commonwealth. Yesterday was the greatest Tuesday in the history of the state fair, and to day will probably be the greatest Wednesday, In point of attendance. Something like 40,000 people were on the grounds yesterday, and it will be no surprise if Thursday or Friday sees twice as many. The business houses of Des Moines will nearly all close af noon Friday, to give their employes a chance to attend the fair, and If the weather continues good, it is confident lybelieved the 75,000 mark of attend ance will be passed. tt The members of the state committee who have dropped off in Des Moines on their way home from Dubuque, make a report on the late meeting which is de cidedly encouraging. Mr. Weaver as sured his colleagues that he is under obligations to no senatorial candidate for his election as chairman. He was not asked to be a candidate, and was not pledged, or asked to pledge himself, to any candidate or policy in the con duct of the campaign. "Under all the circumstances," said Mr. Weaver to some of his friends, "I am compelled to bo a good deal more careful and fair than any other man would be, because anything in any way suggesting un fairness on my part would be at once charged up to favoritism. I propose to run, not a Gear campaign, or a Cum mins campaign, but a republican cam paign for the whole republican party." That is the sensible position which Mr. Weaver lakes, and it shows that he appreciates the position to which he has been elected. If he will conduct the campaign as he says, and his friends and acquaintances are confident he will, it will result in a great victory this fall,' and will redound to his credit. The politicians are now pretty gen erally agreed that there really wasn't much senatorial politics In the candi dacy of Mr. Weaver or the organization of the committee. None of the com mitteemen who come from "Gear terri tory" were asked to pledge themselves to any special course. The Gear man agers did not even suggest a preference for anybody for chairman. Mr. Weaver was looked upon as a Gear candidate, but neither Gear nor any recognized spokesman of the senator asked a sinalo iHtoMiiiMMN *V^ \J 'l' A tv /y MABSHAIXTOWN. IOWA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, member of the committee to support Mr. Weaver, or to oppose anybody else, There is no denying that the middle of-the-road populists have at last as sumed the dignity of being a real politi cal party. In the past they have been a good deal of a Joke. But their confer ence of yesterday and1 convention of to day have been eminently respectable gatherings. Chairman Weeks, of the state committee, Is going to be the whole thing again this year. As a mark of confidence in his program, the com mittee selected' him to be temporary chairman of the convention, and he made a long speech. He declared that there are two issues in this campaign: f#st, truBts and monopolies second, imperialism. The money question he discussed under the general head of trusts. His position on this is interest ing. He declared for the continued free coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, because the country has extant obligations which it is. pledged to pay in these coins. But for internal, and ultimate universal use, he recommends a so-called scientific money that is, 100 per cent fiat money. The acquisition of Professor Herron as the patron saint of the party brings to it a man who has had the advertis ing which the party needs a man of culture and scholarly instincts, and a man of ideas. He will give character to the party his address today will attract attention, and impart character to the organization before which it was deliv ered. Your middle-roader will here after represent something besides a sore head and a disposition to kick. Mr. Weeks says a red-hot campaign will be waged. While Des Moines is dedicating its auditorium this week, and while every body is agreeing that the building is a magnificent success, it may seem like striking a note of discord to say that some people are charging that the au ditorium is not what it ought to be. The fact is that it is, in point of ca pacity to seat people, the second larg est theater in the United States. This is no vain boast, calculated to inspire the realty market or swell the pride of the Des Moines public. It is a fact. But despite all this, the stage of the auditorium is not what it ought to be so say the fault-finders. It is out of harmony with the rest of the structure. It isn't nearly large enough in propor tion to the body of the house. The pros cenium arch is not nearly high enough. It is impossible to stage anything of a scenic character, in the new house, that could not be accommodated by the stages of at least two or three other theaters In Iowa. The new house will seat 3,500 people, and it will aommmn date any convention or gathering that is likely to be seen in Iowa. But It could not begin to care for a production Jike "America," remembered as one of Chicago's great attractions in the year when the world gazed on the white city fri admiration anif wonder. The new auditorium is a great place for conven tions and gatherings, but as a play house it is simply big in point of seating capacity nothing more. All the information that has driftrd this way from the Floyd county cau cuses, held on Saturday last—and it is meager enough—seems to indicate that Gear carried the county and will con trol the convention. The Des Moines street cars were swamped last night beyond all hope of salvation. Today they will not try to handle any state fair travel. If the crowds continue the rest of the week as they have begun the town will be submerged in the tidal wave of visiting thousands, and it is hard to say what will be done with them. But Des Moines is of the stuff of which heroesare made, and remembering the estimate that every fair visitor contributes $10 on an average to the supply of ready cash in the community it is willing to sit up nights and strain itself consider ably to collect the ten. It is not dis couraging anybody about coming. John MacVicar is out of it. That Is. he has announced he will not run for mayor again next spring. It doesn't mean he is out of politics, for a good many people take the announcement to mean that he is going to make a race for the nomination for congress. Mr. MacVicar has been accussed of wanting to be governor, congressman and sever al other things of pretty big caliber, and thus far he has never admitted or de nied any of the charges. But ho does admit that he nas had all he wants or the mayoralty. It is a safe guess, how ever, that he will not retire from poli tics just yet. He couldn't. His disposi tion would not permit it, and his friends would not consent to it. He will be a factor in Polk county as long as he is here, and he will be around the edges any time there is a fight. HERRON TO POPS. The Iowa College President Talks to tlio ,Middle ol tlio Readers Is Against Kxpnnslon. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Aug. 30.—The state con vention of the middle-of-the-road pops convened in this city today. All the congressional districts with the excep tion of the Third, Fourth and Fifth were represented by delegates. The sen timent of the 100 delegates is over whelmingly against the idea of so called imperialism or expansion, and this sentiment found expression not only among the delegates, but came in for severe criticism by Professor Her ron, of Grinnell, who delivered an ex tended address this afternoon, and in the report of the committee on resolu tions. There are a few delegates who are friendly to national expansion, but they constitute such a trilling minority that they are almost submerged by the adverse sentiment. The attendance is about the same as to numbers as last year, but the spirit of aggression is much more pronounced. The resolutions denounced the trusts for which the ad ministration of William McKlnley is prominently held responsible. Herron could have the nomination for governor If he would consent to accept it, but he will not and the present Indications are that Charles Lloyd, candidate two years ago, will hav« the honor thrust uson htm.- l( ^-/-V Handwriting ExperC. the Highest Order Declare Esterhazy Wrote the Bordereau Bertillon's System Declared a Fake By Learned Professors—Picot's Testimony. Austrian Attache Schneider Gives Impression That He Would De clare Dreyfus Innocent. Rennes, Aug. 30.—At the opening of the Dreyfus trial today Professors Paul Meyer, Auguste Mollnler and Glry, ot the school of ancient manuscripts, ex perts of the highest order, all testified to the same general effect, that the bor dereau was. written by Esterhazy, not by Dreyfus. Ail declared Bertillon's system fallacious. Giry asserted that the bordereau was written in a free, natural hand, without tracing. George Picot, a member of the insti tute, was then called and related a con versation he had with Col. Schneider, Austrian military attache, last May. Picot said Schneider gave him the im pression that he meant to assert, une quivocally, the absolute innocence of Dreyfus. Schneider, according to Picot, said the bordereau referred to only three documents, the others being only pad ding to make it look large. Picot declared Schneider asserted that Esterhazy had relations with Col. Schfartzkoppen, German military at tachef who dismissed him because Es terhazy only brought information de void of interest. "It was then," contin ued Picot, "Esterhazy tried to enter the war office and it was then he wrote Schwartzkoppen the letter since known as the bordereau. In reply Schwartz koppen wrote the telegram—the card known as Petit Bleu—but on reflection crumpled it up and threw it in the fire place." Gen. Deloye repeated his testimony, before the court of cassation relating to mvBrnmmt if Jjannii. Drfj-feett un government comm.bsonei the eouit de- to hlt behlnd closed doors row, to receive documents prepared by the gunnery bureau, containing infor mation not desirable to discuss in pub lic. .VeiUicr Side Satistli'd. Rennes, France, Aug. 30.—Neither side was pleased with the outcome of Tuesday's procedeings before the court martial that is trying Capt. Dreyfu: The Dreyfusards expected that Col. Cordier, who was deputy chief of the intelligence department under the tenant colonel, Henry, would testify that the bordereau was received di rectly by the late Col. Sandherr. Had the expected been realized the testimo ny would have been a strong point in favor of the accused, because It would have been a reply to the antl-Dreyfus ards who have all along contended that Henry received the bordereau and for warded it to Sandherr, a thing he would not have done had the bordereau been, as the Dreyfusards assert, wrirten by his accomplice. Esterhazy, for, in that event, Henry would have recognized the handwriting when he received the bor dereau from the German embassy and would have suppressed it, instead of forwarding It to Sandherr. Col. Cordier, however, testified that he was absent from the intelligence de partment when the bordereau arrived, but that he believed it was received by Henry. Naturally this statement elated the anti-Dreyfusards-, but they had no reason to congratulate themselves upon the remainder of Cordier's testimony, as it was wholly in favor of Dreyfus. On the other hand, the proclamation of the general staff who demanded an opportunity to confront Col. Cordier was a good piece of tactics from the point of view of the anti-Drevfusards i'n the contradiction of some of Cordier's statements left a disagreeable imres sion. The appearance of Gen. MercieV to question Col. Cordier came as a surprise to many in the audience, who had sup posed that after last Saturday's scene, when Mereier was confronted with Capt. Freystaetter, he would remain Quiet. But Mereier is game to the death. His action is interpreted as intended to show that he is not going to throw up the sponge. The part he played in ISftl lays him open to arrest and this is a constant topic of discussion in cafes and at other meeting places in Rennes. There appears, however, to be a good reason why the government will not take any serious step until after the trial is over. Col. Jouaust, president of the court martial, could adjourn the trial indefi nitely if Mereier, as an important wit ness, were arrested. If the trial ad journed for more than forty-eight hours it would lapse and the proceedings would have to be gone over again from the beginning. Yesterday the attendance was tht largest since the opening of the trial. Everybody was on the qui vive to hear the testimony of Charles de Freyclnet, former minister of war. This adroit politician, the "white mouse" of French politics, sat upon the fence as well as he could. His expression of fear that the Dreyfus agitation would injure the discipline of the army greatly annoyed the Dreyfusards, as calculated to influ ence the judges against the accused. But he followed it with an eulogy of the pioneer of the Dreyfus campaign, U. Scheurer-Kestner. former vice pree- (mu» tomor" L*#-T pomo*. The Weather.

London Papers Still In a Warlike Mood—What They Are Saying. Cape Town, Aug. 30.—It is said In Afrikander circles here that in spite of persistent warlike rumors there are good prospects of peace. Strong pres sure is being put on Kruger to that end. London, Aug. 30.—Commenting on the declaration of President Kruger, of the Transvaal government, to the effect that the South African republic adhered to its latest offer and would not make any further concessions, the afternoon papers here unanimously draw atten tion to the increased seriousness of the Transvaal crisis, but at the same time they express uncertainty regarding the nature of the concessions beyond which President Kruger says he will not go. No official announcement has been made of these, though they are gener ally understood to be a five-year fran chise and increased outlander repie sentatlon. 'If this is correct," the Giobe says, "it can not be long before diplomacy has to stand aside as of no further service." The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Presi dent Kruger's adherence to these rvould mean adherence to impossible condi tions, and if so the situation has come to an ugly head."

TO CLOSE OUT. I Soldier Boy? From the Philippines A Magnificent Reception Given the Returning Troops—Riot in Cleveland. Ohio Street Car Strikers Making Trouble Again—The Chicago Coliseum Tragedy. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 30.—Lincoln wel comed home the fighting First Nebras ka regiment last night with the boom ing of cannon, red Are and an open armed display of hospitality and en thusiasm which the boys themselves confessed outclassed anything they had seen or heard since their departure from here nearly sixteen months ago. There was a holiday crowd in the city from early morning, due to the under standing that the regiment would reach Lincoln before noon, but many delays occurred, and it was after 10 o'clock last night when the last of the three sec tions rolled into the Burlington depot. The people not only occupied every inch of space on the station, but blocked the streets and sidewalks for three blocks around. They gave vent to the wildest enthusiasm as the boys stepped from the cars. There was ijot a sick man among them and all were able to display their joy at meeting relatives, sweethearts and near friends. Those who live in Lincoln did not linger at the depot, but went to their homes, many comrades from other corn panies accompanying them. Four com- panjes nearly intact and most of the regimental officers proceeded to Omaha at midnight, a reception having 'been arranged there. The progress of the trains bearing the First Nebraska through the state was one continuous ovation. At every sta tion where a stop was made tile people were present in great crowds to cheer I the returning soldiers, and where the trains did not stop the depot platforms were crowded with Nebraskans eager to catch even a fleeting glimpse of the re- izs for Sale turning heroes. A cheer and a waving of flags was answered in kind from the men on the trains, who went through the same thing when the next town was reached. Even in the country flags were flying from houses' along the rail road and the people on the farms waved a glad greeting to the soldiers, who are the idols of all Nebraska. The first opportunity for a formal greeting came at McOook, where the I train arrived at 11 o'clock. Here a stop was made for a combination meal of breakfast and dinner. The people of CORNER CENTER and CHURCH STS the town and surrounding country were -j" on hand when the trains pulled in, I and the soldiers received a greeting thvy are not likely to forget soon. Mo- Hammocks at cost Cook has one of the finest bands in the west and this was on hand to discourse music while the hungry men satisfied their cravings. At Hastings the regiment stopped for supper and a few whose homes are on lines centering in th:jt city took their leave of the regiment and went home. The remainder continued on to this city. The men are in high glee over the re ception accorded them on their trip through the state and anticipated a great time in Omaha today. Omaha, Aug. 30.—The First Nebraska arrived home from the Philippines this morning. They were greeted with the tooting of whistles, clanging of bells and acclaim from thousands of throats amid a scene of greatest enthusiasm. The boys tumbled out of the trains and marched through the decorated streets to the city hall, where they were for mally welcomed by Governor Poyneer. Later the regiment was entertained at tho exposition. /.H ELEVEN WERE KILLED. 1,1st of Fatalities at Coliseum CoJ lapsi* increases. Chicago, Aug. 30.—Eleven is the num ber of those killed by the collapse of the coliseum building. To yesterday's pub lished list of nine is to be addiSd the name of Edward Swanson, reported as missing on Monday night. Swanson re sided at 24$ Randolph street and was an ron worker. Another name to be added that of John Marshman, an iron worker, who died at S:30 o'clock last night at St. Luke's hospital after lin gering in a semi-conscious condition at the hospital since the accident. Marsh man was working on top of one of the arge arches when it fell. He was car led to the ground with the big arch when it came down. He fell beneath the big girder. His skull was fractured and his right leg crushed. The dead man was 32 years old and lived at 576 West Lake street. Part of the mass of collapsed iron and steel was moved yesterday in the search for other dead, but the work was slow, owing to the great weight of the material and the twisted manner in which it lay. It will be several days before all the debris will be cleared sufficiently to determine if there are to be additions to the death roll. The official investigation of the ac cident and Its cause will commence to day. Coroner Berz and Superintendent of Buildings McAndrews will take part in this investigation and will be aided by the coliseum officials. J. O. Munn, manager of the Pittsburg Bridge Com pany, arrived yesterday morning and, with D. W. Church, resident engineer, made a partial inspection of the ruins. The officials of the bridge company manifest an earnest desire to have the responsibility for the accident placed. Rioting at Cleveland. Cleveland, Aug. 30.—Rioting and dis order broke out last night In connection with the strike on the lines of the Big Consolidated street railway, and four cars were nearly demolished, while the crews were compelled to flee for their lives. It was only after determined ef forts on the part of thirty police under Capt. Bradley that order was finally re stored. The first rioting of the evening oc curred on Central avenue near a rail road crossing, where an east-bound car jumped from the track at the derailing switch. It was about 6 o'clock, and workingmen were returning home from the factories and mills in the vicinity. A mob of severaj hundred people soon gathered and the lawless element began to stone the car and crew. Another east-bound car soon arrived at tbe crossing and was brought to a stand still. The raotormen and conductors were pulled from the car and only suc ceeded in escaping after passing through a gauntlet of rocks and stones. The crew of the street car fared as badly and even worse, the motormen being quite badly, if not seriously in jured. A. west-bound car was also 8 topped at the crossing, and the crew was nearly inobbed by the now frantic crowd. The front and rear vestibules of all the canii were utterly demolished, while every window was broken. They presented a dilapidated appearance when taken to the barns by the wreck ing crew. Later in the evening a mob of about 3,000 people gathered around a car at the corner of Central and Lincoln ave nues, which is a residence portion of the city. The crew of this car was saved from serious injury by the arrival of a detachment of police under Sergt. Prang. It is expected many arrests will follow the outrages. AN OMAHA MYSTERY. A Woman Found With Her skull Crushed -Evidently a Murder. Omaha, Aug. 30.—A wbman whose identity Is a mystery was found dead on the pavement yesterday morning. The doctors say she had been dead for several hours and that death resulted from the fracture of the skull evidently caused by the fall on the pavement. All the people who live in the vicinity know about it is that about 11 o'clock Monday night they heard a woman scream and saw a buggy passing in which were a man and a woman. The man was lashing the horse into a run and holding the woman, who was standing up and evidently, trying to jump out of the buggy. There is no clue to the identity of the dead woman or the man who was with her. She was well dressed and evidently a woman of refinement. The street where she was found is In the heart of the best resi dence portion of the city. Tod Sloan Objects to tho StnjreJ Kokomo, Ind., Aug. 30.—In winding up his business affairs on this side of the water preparatory to an extended resi dence in England, Jockey Tod Sloan ex postulated with his only sister, Mollie Sloan, who has for twelve years been on the vaudeville stage, known to the play worJd as Blanche le Claire. Tod thinks her occupation reflects discredit on him o.s well as on herself. She is now playing with a company at San Francisco, her role being 'flying rings and dancing. When here last Tod offered his sister a $15,000 home if she would give up the stage, but she reject ed the offer, declaring she preferred an occupation without a home to home without an occupation. Besides that, she gave him to under stand that her calling was just as hon orable as his. She also offered to assist him if he should ever need help finan cially. Troops Kntortulned at Yokohama. Yokohama, Aug. 11, via Victoria, B. C., Aug. 30.—The United States trans port Grant has arrived from Manila with the Dakota, Idaho and Wyoming troops. They have just come ashore and are being accorded a great ovation. They will remain here five days. The task which the little American commu nity has here is a sufficient one to prove its ardent patriotism. For some forty or fifty families to feed and entertain in every possible way an army of 10,000 troops is something never before known in the annals of hospitality. Yet half of this gigantic task is already accom plished and the devoted hosts are full of pluck and energy to pursue it to the end. They feel amply repaid by the unbounded gratitude of the soldiers and even the Japanese have been taught a now lesson in patriotism. Surplus oI Cuban Klnanccs. Washington, Aug. 30.—The financial statement of Cuba from Jan. 1 to June 20, just given out, shows that the island paid $1,480,021 above expenses during the first six months of the year. The receipts were nearly $7,000,000 and the expenditures $5,500,000. The largest item of expense wos $1,712,014 for sanitation about $250,000 was spent on public works another $250,000 on civil govern ment: $500,000 on the rural guard $750, 000 on municipalities, and nearly $90. 000 in aid of destitute persons. The surplus for July was over $300,000. Cus toms provide for most of the revenue. The postal collections for last month were $15,000. Heir to a B1k Estate Found. Bloomington, 111., Aug. 30.—Bennett Sltler, one of the alleged heirs to the $75,000,000 fortune of Matthias Sltler and who was said to live in Bloomington has been found. He Is an Inmate of the almshouse of DeWitt county, at Halls ville. He was taken to the almshouse last July suffering from fracture of the leg sustained in a runaway at Weldon John Hostetler, of Yuton, this county, also claims to be one of tho heirs to the Sitler millions. Wreck on tho Hock Island. Topeka, Kan., Aug. 30.—An east bound Dyer on the Rock Island, du here at 7:30 yesterday, was wrecked at Keats, near Manhattan, Kan.

Organize Farmers' Federation of the MlMiasippi Valley to Control Farm Products.

Capital Stock Is $20,000,000 In Shares of $10 Each—Officers Eleoted. Will Seek to Control Shipment of Grain, Livestook, Etc.—Meat Supply. Topeka, Has., Aug. 30.—The Farmers' Federation of the Mississippi Valley has been organized and officers elected. WaIter N. Allen, of Merlden, Is pre« dent and business manager. The object of the federation is to reg ulate and control the shipment of farm products of all the states in the Missis sippi valley, to establish and maintain offices, yards and grain elevators, to maintain agents to handle, sell and dis tribute such products, and to lend and borrow money and do a banking busi ness at Topeka, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago. Cincinnati and New Orleans. The capital stock will be $20,000,000, in shares of $10 each. President Allen, in a long statement of the purposes of the federation, says the cost in commissions for marketing the products in the Mississippi valley is over $21,000,000. He plans that his com pany shall do this business for the farmers for less than $1,000,000. The by-laws provide that there shall be no rebates to shippers or dividends paid to stockholders, and that the sur plus earnings shall be reserved to finance a bank department, to pay in terest on the bonds of the company and for the purchase of th' business and good will of commission houses. It is also provided that "to hasten the emanclption of the agricultural classes" there may be issued $10,000,000 of 5 per cent twenty-year debenture bonds of the company to purchase the good will of the commission houses of Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha, Kansas City and New Oreleans. In discussing the trust features of his company President Allen says: 'This incorporated, consolidated agency or co-operative plant may be considered a farmers' trust, and was so denominated by the press of the coun when organized eleven years ago Like many other industrial trusts that re now being formed, though, it is an unoffending trust. There is nothing in by-laws or in the charter in conflict ilh the interstate commerce act or any of the laws of the several states. "Its purpose is not to restrain produc tion or arbitrarily to fix prices. It as sumes only the power to control ship ments of farm products and to thus regulate the supply to the demand in the genera) markets. If there should appear to be an overproduction we ould simply sell enough to meet the legitimate demand for consumption and hold back our surplus in our granaries and on our farms to meet the contin gencies of short crop seasons." The permanent headquarters of the federation will be established In Chi cago in about three months. Evansville, Ind., Aug. 30.—The Ohio alley Produce Company was incorpo ated here yesterday with a capital stock of $100,000. G. W. Bement, a local apitulist, is president of the company. OUR MEAT SUPPLY. Why Secrctury Wilson Explains Prices Are Illchvr. Washington, Aug. 30.—"The price of meats is caused by the smaller supply and the improved conditions that enable the masses to purchast more animal fond," said Secretary Wil son, to a representative of the press yesterday afternoon. "There are three prime reasons for the higher prices of beef," continued the head of the agricultural department. "One is the great and widespread pros perity of the country. A second is the educed number of cattle in the United high States. A third is the great decrease in the area of western ranges for raising cheap cattle. 'There can be no question about the prosperous conditions existing in the United States. Everywhere I went dur ing my six weeks' trip to the Pacific coast I saw workers busy at good wages. We know It is the same In the mills and factories of the east "The American people are great meat eaters. Even the laboring man wants meat two or three times a day when he has the money to buy. He has the mon ey now, because he Is earning good wages. With prosperity has come an normously Increased demand for meats. Wherever our flag goes meat eaters will multiply and make business for the stock raisers of America. "Incidentally, let me say hat the meat aters rule the world. If Englishmen were fed nn potatoes a few generations nnd Irishmen on meat the capital of the British empire would be transferred from London to Dublin. "For various reasons the number of meat animals In the country has been growing gradually less for several years. Hard times forced people to economize by using less meat. The re sult was smaller demand for live stock with a lowering of prices, which in turn led stock raisers to grow fewer animals Large losses from disease and exposure last year also had some effect in the same direction. "Here is a statement by the division of statistics showing the number of cattle other than milch cows, of sheep and of swine on Jan. 1 for ten years past: Cattle. St ,849,024 3C.875.648 37,651.239 35,954,196 36,608,168 34,364,216 32,085,409 1890 1891 1892 1893 1894 1895 1896 X897 1898 1899 NKtiR Sheep. 44,336,072 43,431,136 44,938,365 47,273,553 45,048,017 42,294,064 38,298,783 36,818,643 37,656,960 39,114,453 30,508,408 29,264,197 27,994,225 "It Is noticeable that the decrease be gan an hard times pinched. The num ber of sheep increased somewhat dur ing the last two years, and that was probably due to the fa that many persons substituted mutton for beef. It will be observed that Blnce 1892 the number of cattle has decreased nearly 10,000,000, or about 27 -per cent, but It must also be remembered that tbe pop ulation of the country ha& been increas- s'i sy. tar. The number or (beep has de* creaSed nearly 8,000,000 he*4, or about II per cent since 1898, whlt^fe the swine since the htgh-water mark of 1193 have fallen off nearly 14,000,000 head, or more than 26 per cent. THE mtW REGIMENTS. Eallstments Well Under Way-^Ap potntments Are Considered. Washington, Aug. 30.—Secretary Root and Adjt Gen. Corbin were In confer ence three hours yesterday afternoon considering the applications from Illi nois for commissions as officers in the ten regiments of volunteers recently pr dered. It was 6 o'clock before they rested, and Gen. Corbin said the work was not completed. He texpects to have the Illinois appointments ready for an nouncement today. Enlistments for the new regiments are well under way. Up to last night 2,764 men had been secured. These are enough to All two regiments. Many of the officers for these regiments will be sent out soon to open recruiting sta tions, when the work of getting troops will be more rapid. Many of tbe recruits thus far are men who served recently In the Philippines. The re-enllstment of men lately in the army is particularly gratifying to the war officials. In Col. Bell's regiment, the Twenty-seventh, which has head quarters at Camp Meade, Pa.. 46 per cent of the men served as volunteers in the war with Spain and 9 per cent have seen service In the regular army. There fore 57 per cent of this regiment is com posed of trained, seasoned men. MaJ. John A. Logan has been ap pointed a major of volunteers again and has been assigned to the Thirty-third United States Volunteers, which has headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. The regiment will start soon for San Francisco to embark for Manila. MaJ. Logan sought a commission a6 lieutenant colonel. He was offered a place as major some time ago, but held out several weeks for the higher rank, claiming that during the war with Spain he had received assurances of promotion. Maj. Logan's return to the army after resigning causes some sur prise. in a private .letter Capt. Louis P. Sanders, aide-de-camp on the staff of Gen. Otis, tells of a visit to Jolo and gives the following information about the suHan of the Sulus: "The present sultan is 30 years of age. He holds nominal sway over the Morog of the Sulu group and over North Bor neo, 260,000 subjects supposedly recog nizing his power. But his tenure Is In secure by reason of the ambition of divers chiefs, or dattos, as they are called. By virtue of treaties between himself and Spain he receives an annual pension of $2,700 in Mexican silver In consideration of the injuries done to his subjects by Spanish Invasion. This, at least, is the consideration mentioned In the treaties, but 1 think the Spanish were in great fear of him and adopted a clever way to persuade him to keep the peace. Gen. Otis Intends to continue this annual payment, and I believe it good policy. The sultan little under stands Americans, and in his ignorant mind, if this payment were cut off, he would conceive us to be oppressive ty rants and would certainly wage his un comfortable method of warfare. Iicmnnd for tho Gold Certificates. Washington, Aug. 30—The demand for gold certillcates continues and some of the treasury officials think it will reach $50,000,000 or $60,000,000. It reached $32, 000.000 yesterday. The demand last week was chiefly from the west, Chi cago taking more than $4,000,000 and St. Louis about $2,000,000. Those two cities have taken about as much as New York, which had received $10,500,000 up to yesterday. The report of the treasury shows re ceipts of $1,579,396, but that included $3,210,000 for the old New York eustinr house. The expenditures were $532,000. Tuesday's statement shows a surplus for August of $2,903,099, and excluding the extraordinary receipt for the New York building, the deficit was only $306,901. The government's receipts from cus toms are increasing rapidly because of large increases in the Imports. Since July 1 the customs have shown a gain :f nearly $7,000,000, as compared with the same period last year. The internal revenue receipts are also growing, showing a gain of $1,500,000 since July 1. The receipts of the government from all sources since the beginning of the new fiscal year, July 1, have been $94, 153,357, as compared wltn $82,857,923 a year ago. The expenditures have been $99,747,090, compared with $125,873,475. The deficit this year is only $5,593,732, as against $43,015,552 last year. Tho Sewarh In Port.: San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 30.—The cruiser Newark, which was the flagship of Commodore Wutson's (lying squad ron during the Spanish-American war, arrived in port yesterday from New York, by way of the Straits of Magel lan. The Newark lef New York on March 14 and after cruising a month with A1-1 mlral Sampson left him at Port Luclan, in the West Indies, and made a straight leg for Rio de Janeiro. From Rio the cruiser proceeded to San Francisco in easy stages. The Newark was delayed at Point Low on vthe Swine, 51,602,780 50,625,106 52,398,019 46,094.807 45,206,498 44,165,706 42,842,759 40,600.276 39,759,993 38,651,631 JSRSiBli west coast for three weeks in consequence of its supply of coal running short. The vessel had to burn wood and took In 500 coras to keep the tires going. While in this condition a Chilean man-of-war arrived in port and helped the Newark with sufficient coal to reach Valparaiso. A court-martial has been ordered to fix the responsibility for this condition of affairs. The matter lies between Capt. Goodrich and Chief Engineer Moritz, who disagreed as to coaling the ship. The officers refused to discuss the matter at issue. Capt. McCalla is on his way from the east to take Capt. Goodrich's place on the Newark. It is rumored that Capt. Goodrich will take command of the Iowa. The Newark will probably be sent to Mare island and then stay on the coast as Admiral Kautz's flagship.

Baker Was One of the Victims of the Wrack Near Waterloo Last Spring. k" A Wreck on the "Q" Near Preston Results In Death of Two Hen. Waterloo, Aug. 30.—The Burlington, Cedar Rapids Northern railway is made defendant in the district court here by David L. S. Barker, adminis trator of the estate of Edwin J. Barker, asking $100,000 damages, sustained by reason of the death of plaintiff's de cedent, which was one of the sad conse quences of the horrible wreck that oc curred near here on May 28. The peti tion, which Is Hied by H. L. Mclntyre, Nelhart, Mont., and Boies Boles, of this city, attorneys for the plaintiff, alleges the damages to the estate of the deceased to have been more th&n the amount Asked. The circumstances of the wreck are still too fresh In the memory of Times Republican readers to need a repetition, even in part. The B., C. R. N. is charged with carelessly and negligently allowing the conditions to exist. The de fendant is also charged with careless ness in operating a passenger train over its tracks at a high rate of speed, when the tracks were endangereyj and the lives of passengers impended by reason of the train on which the deceased met death being operated at an excessively high and dangerous rate of speed, in view of the conditions existing by rea son of the rain which had precipitated for several hours. The petition alleges that Barker at the time and prior to the accident was occupying a berth in one of the sleep ing cars attached to the train, and in all respects exercising due anu proper care and caution, and that his injury and death resulted wholly from the negli gence and carelessness of the defend ani. The plaintiff further says that Edwin J. Barker at the time of his death was SO years of age, a man of industrious habits and disposed to accumulate and save the money which he earned and of marked ability- in the earning and ac cumulation thereof, and of good and sound physical health. That for a con siderable time prior and at the time of his death he was earning salaries ag gregating more than $14,000 per year, and would, had he lived, continued to earn and accumulate by his own per sonal efforts large sums of money, $15, 000 per annum, or more. This action, which is for $100,000, is the largest suit for personal damages ever filed in the district court of Black hawk county and one of the largest ever brought in the state of Iowa. It has another interest, however, equally as great as the attraction its amount gives it. E. J. Barker was the man whose remains laid in the morgue for several days before the authorities were absolutely certain of its identity, and which subsequently were claimed by two women, one the legal wife of the deceased and the other Miss Ida Shad ville, wlio claimed Barker was on his way to Minneapolis to marry her when he met his death. His sudden death lent great publicity to several stlories usually considered good form to be buried with the dead. In Barker's case, however, there was no alternative but to give the stories to the public. Both women clamored for the body and claimed the property of the deceased. The grave question Anally terminated by the remains being sent to Niehart, Mont., to be interred and mourned by the parents of the unfor tunate young man. ACCIDENT ON THE ««Q.M Knglnocr Criss and Fireman Thorn' Fatally Injured. Creston, Aug. 30.—Engineer H. A. Criss was killed and Fireman Arthur Thornton had his right leg crushed so that amputation was necessary above the knee by a wreck on the Burlington yesterday afternoon ne'ar Barnar'd, Mo.

Fireman Thorn ton was pinned under the tender and had to be dug out. Criss leaves a fam ily. He was a fast mail engineer for several years. Fireman Thornton died last evening. ELDORA DAMAGE CASE. A Morchunt Asked to l'ay $5,000 for a Mistake In Selltnu Gasoline. Special to Times-Republican. Eldora, Aug. 30.—The case of Jennie Ives, by her next friend, Retta Ives, vs William Weldon has occupied the court for the past two days. It is a damage suit in which plaintiff asks damages in the sum of $5,000 for Injuries received on account of defendant having sold gasoline Instead of kerosene. It appears that plaintiff drew a quantity of the fluid to light the fire in the cook stove, supposing it to be kerosene. An explo sion occurred and the plaintiff was bad ly burned about the side of the face and neck and arms, and is disfigured for life. The case Is hotly contested. The case will go to the jury some time today. The clerk yesterday issued licensee for Alexander McCoy to marry Miss Maud E. Reynold, and for Dr. Fred W. Horton to marry Miss Lulu P. Liven good. The contracting parties are prom inent residents of Hubbard. AN INTERESTING CONTEST. Four Candidates For .fudge Slier win's Place on the District llencli. Special to Times-Republican.

The older members of the bar are for Wllber. Clark was late in getting Into the home field and has not the support be other wise would have among -the legal fra ternity, but If It is referred to a judicial convention to settle he will easily dis tance all competitors.

He has been prac ticing in the county,. for twenty-six years and has carried through the courts very successfully some import ant cases. His leading opposition, Mr. Smith, is a very bright young man.

Grinnell, Aug. 30.—Married in Grin nell August 29, at the home of the bride, Prof. C. P. Colgrove to Prof. Emma Ridley, both of the Iowa State Normal school.

Samuel Day had lived in Sioux City for several years, and came here from Great Bend, Kas., where he was on the bench. A year ago he disappeared suddenly, soon after wedding a wealthy, but erratic widow, but was found in Elgin, Neb. In late years he has been drinking heavily and used considerable morphine.

Nevada, Rug. 30.—Frank Zenor, the daring young man who perpetrated two skillful forgeries, one upon J. A. Fltchpatrick, of this city, and the other upon parties In Boone, was indicted by the grand jury yesterday afternoon. Since his flight to Nebraska and subse quent capture by the authorities in Omaha on information furnished by the clever work of Mr. Fltchpatrick, Zenor has been languishing in the county bas tile. His trial promises to be one of the most interesting and sensational ones heard before this district tribunal in many years, for certainly the crime as alleged, in point of coolness, in concep tion and execution, is almost unsur passed. It is ntf yet announced as to whether his case will be heard this term of court or next. The grand jury also found an indictment against William Turner, the man who was caught in the act of picking the pocket of Mrs. Nettie Peterson, of Milwaukee, during the county fair. TAKES LEG BAIL. A Buffalo Center Burglar Takes French J.eavo of Mis iJoiidsmon.: Special to Times-Republican. Buffalo Center, Aug. 30.—There has as yet no word been received of the where abouts of B. V. Andrus, who is accused of the crime of burglary. It seems that Andrus entered the general store of Hofins Wilson at about 4 o'clock a. m. of Friday, the 25th of August. The pro prietors had been missing articles from the store for some time and had em loyed the city marshal and Mr. Sterling to watch at night, and the result was that on Friday morning about 4 o'clock they heard some one enter the store. They at once ordered him to throw up his hands, in place of which the person started to run. He was fired upon by the marshal and was seriously wounded in the right arm and also fell into a trap that had been set to catch who ever had been in the habit of entering the store at night. After the marshul and Mr. Sterling got the person out and discovered that it was an old gentle man by the name of Andrus they took him over to the office of Dr. Russ, who found the bullet imbedded against the bone in his arm, just below the e'.bow. For some reason no complaint was filed until late in the afternoon of Friday, when the marshal filed an information before Justice E. J. Flynn. who at once issued a warrant, and in the evening Mr. Andrus was brought before the court and the information read to him. which was a charge of burglary, to which he pleaded guilty. Justice Flynn fixed the bail for appearance before the grand jury at $500, which was after ward, on the advice of County Attorney Gordon, reduced to $200, and Mr. Andrus was placed in charge of the constable until he should secure bondsmen. But it seems that Andrus was allowed to go and come as he pleased and the result was that he skipped, and now the con stable is wondering "where he is at." CAPTAIN HULL INTERVIEWED. The Seventh District Congressman lilamcs Senate for Prolonged Strug gle 111 tho Philippine*. Chicago, Aug. 30.—Congressman J. A. T. Hull, of Iowa, the author of the Hull army bill, arrived in Chicago yesterday morning, having come here on receipt of the news of the disaster to the Coli seum, in which he is interested. In dis cussing the army bill and the policy of President McKinley in regard to the war in the Philippines Mr. Hull said: "The result of the contest in the Phil ippines has demonstrated the wisdom of the proposed army legislation as en acted by the house of representatives and has shown""the utter folly of our democratic and populist senate, which succeeded in defeating the army bill. If the department had had authority for an army of sufficient size Aguinaido would have been crushed long before the rainy season began, but the legisla tion forced upon the country by the combination of democrats and populists was expensive if put in operation, and at the best unsatisfactory. The admin istration evidently tried to avoid the very expensive methods placed at the disposal of the president by congress, but has finally been compelled to adopt them. The very men who are now most clamorous against the administration are responsible t'ur the bad legislation on army matters. 'The appropriation of $80,000,000 would have met the requirements of the government for an army on the basis of what was called the Hull bill, but the country will have a very large deficit to pay for the temporary army now be ing organized. The number of men au thorized by the bill as finally passed is fully as large as the original bill would have permitted, but the one was a per manent law made flexible by the power of the president to reduce from the maximum to the minimum without dis turbing the general army organization, while the other is simply temporary in its character and will entail upon the country a very large expense of travel pay and clothing on discharge and a great expense of enlisting new men at short periods of time. The cry of a standing army to overturn the liberties of the people is not worthy of answer. "Our fathers were supposed to be rather plain people, and yet with only 3,000,000 Inhabitants they were willing to provide for an army of 10,000 men. At the same ratio we should have an army of 150,000. In my Judgment econ omy would dictate the sending of a force to the Philippines sufficient to make short work of the Insurrection there. The islands are ours by conquest and treaty both and no patriotic Amer ican should be willing even to discuss the questions of the future until the su premacy of the United States Is thor oughly established. After this has been accomplished it will be time enough to discuss the government to be given the Philippines. "This whole question of army leglsla tlM is oua ob which the people of the United States have made great ad vances within the last year and a half, and In my opinion the sensible people of the country are now In favor not of having a large standing army, but a sufficiently strong one to meet the ordi nary and necesary demands made upon the government. I regard the coming session as sure to pass legislation both for a regular force and for an organized militia of the states on such lines as will give the government ample protec tion. "The president of the United States Is establishing himself more and more in the confidence of the people of this country, and his wishes and demands will be met by congress and Indorsed by the people. The patriotic people of the country are beginning to realize that the men who opposed all legisla tion of the last session were simply anxious to put the administration of President McKinley in what they would call a hole and the people of the country will not endorse by their votes any such attitude of so-called statesmen." In speaking of the political and finan cial outlook in Iowa Mr. Hull said: The political situation in Iowa is all that republicans could ask for. The re publican platform is a clear-cut de mand for the establishment of a gold money standard by law, so that it can not be interefered with by any president or congress, and also a cordial indorse ment of the administration in Its for eign policies, especially as applied to the islands acquired from Spain as a re sult of the war. "The democratic platform is an in dorsement of the Chicago platform, in cluding the 16 to 1 plank, and assails the administration on account of the war in the Philippines. "The people of Iowa are overwhelm ingly in favor of honest money and are unalterably opposed to allowing any half savages to dictate to us what we shall do with our own. There are thou sands of democrats in the state who will not allow their votes to be counted against the administration until all signs of rebellion have been crushed out. President McKinley's speech at Pittsburg to the returning soldiers sounded the keynote to the fight, and on the issue of sustaining him Iowa can be counted on for 50,000 majority. "Financially Iowa is in splendid con dition, and money is more abundant than it has been for years. The farmers are largely paying off mortgages, and so are the owners of small city proper ties."

Our prices have not advanced and we are selling Stewart's cooks, ranges and heaters at same price as a year ago. 1 The improvements in manufacturing and railroad building stimulates the market, and the prospect of old prices is very distant, hence our future purchases must be higher.

One of the most notable passages in the speech of President McKinley in •welcoming the Tenth Pennsylvania vol unteers was that in which he declared the purpose of the government in re gard to the Philippines. "Peace brought us the Philippines by treaty cession from Spain." said he. "The senate of the United States ratified the treaty. Every step taken was in obedience to the requirements of the constitution. It became our territory, and is ours as much aa the Louisiana purchase, or Texas, or Alaska. A body of insurgents, in no sense representing the sentiment of the people of the islands, disputed our lawful authority, and even before the ratification of the treaty were at tacking the forces who fought for and secured their freedom. They as sailed our sovereignty, and there will be no useless parley, no pause until the insurrection is suppressed and Ameri can authority acknowledged and estab lished." This is entirely frank and clear. He plainly holds that our government has come into the rightful possession of the islands and proposes to estab lish its authority there. Nothing could be clearer as outlining a policy than this utterance. Yet in the face of this the Des Moines Leader, seeking to find something in which to base democratic opposition, holds that "AH things con sidered, the president's claim that the war in the Philippines is in behalf of liberty and humanity cannot be consid ered correct, nor frank.". The presi dent's declarations are in direct refuta tion of the Leader's false interpretation. His announcement of the present pur pose of the government cannot be so construed as misleading. He did say to the soldiers that "you and your brave comrades engaged in other fields of con flict have enlarged the map of the United States and extended the juris diction of American liberty." He does hold that liberty under the American flag is better than tyranny under the Spanish banner or under a reckless ad venturer's rule. What may be deter mined hereafter as to the future of the Philippines it may remain for congress to say yet patriotic citizens will ap plaud the vigorous policy to be pursued now in his declaration that there will be no useless parley, no pause until Americ-an authority is acknowledged and established." Having set its face in that direction the nation will carry out its purpose despite the plaints of those who are encouraging a retreat. ^pRfi Sm FRENCH METHODS IN COURT. The universal interest in the Dreyfus trial has led to a comparison of French and American methods of conducting such cases, and has disclosed the marked differences. The Review of Re views, in its notes on the "Progress of the World, calls attention to it. The. writer claims that France is a civilized nation with noble codes of law and a highly trained body of lawyers." He admits, however, that French trials are conducted in such a way that many as pects of them seem worse than ridicu lous to those accustomed to the meth ods of the United States and England. Thus the witnesses at the Dreyfus trial "were in the main given freedom to tell what they knew in their own way, and were allowed to assert their opinions, beliefs, prejudices, dislikes and emo tional points of view as if these were really matters of evidence. Under our rulings such digressions would be se verely repressed as irrelevant. And yet he justly holds that it does not follow that our method is so superior to the French in all respects. Our rules of ev idence are so technical that it often happens that the ends of substantial justice are wholly defeated because a really significant thing, which a witness would be glad to state and which would clear up the case, is ruled out. In an American trial the lawyers seem to be playing a certain kind/ of game, with the judge as umpire, under elaborate and extremely technical rules which no body can hope altogether to understand except the professionals. The .witness must under no circumstances tell in his own way what he really knows, thinks or feels about the case, but must an swer the lawyer's questions in ways which do not violate the technical rules of evidence. In France, however, it is lb* Judge, not the opposing counsel, OTTUMWA'S SUCCESS The public spirited citizens of Ot tumwa are to be congratulated upon the successful close of the effort to se cure the Dain manufacturing plant. This was conditioned upon the sale of a certain number of lots in a tract se cured for that purpose. Five weeks ago the effort began, and citizens were urged by the Courier and other local papers to buy lots. During the time that has elapsed 25S*& lots, not includ ing one deeded to the city, have been sold. By noon Monday the last act in the long process of the securing of the plant of the manufacturing company, was closed. By that hour H. L. Waterman, trustee for the Dain Addi tion association, had mailed to Joseph Dain, Jr., of Carrolton, Mo., his notifi cation that the terms and obligations of the contract, before drawn up between the parties, were binding and absolute. This means that Ottumwa has carried out her part of the arrangements form ally made with the Dain people, and that they are now under contract to bring their plant to this city. By this act the citizens not only helped the city, helped the manufactur ing company, but also helped them selves by making a purchase of real es tate, one of the safest of all invest ments. It is an example that all other cities may profit by. It is not alto gether manifest destiny that builds up towns. Other things being equalt one may grow with some degree of spon taniety, yet the boost secured by public spirited and united efforts will give a city an advantage which she can hold, and therefore, like a rolling snowball, such city will gather more as she grows larger. The principle involved is well stated in an item in the Creston Advertiser: "Creston will be just what her citi zens make her. She will be a lively, progressive, pushing place or she will be an easy, quiet town." In the present case Ottumwa will grow because her citizens have decreed that she shall ex pand. SENTIMENTS OF RETURNING SOL DIERS. The sentiments of the returning vol unteers from the Philippines were quite fully revealed by the talk of Lieut. Col. James E. Barnett, of the Tenth Penn sylvania. at Council JJiufts, as reported by the Nonpareil. "If any man tells me republics are ungrateful." said he, "I will feel like quoting your Governor Shaw's remarks about certain kinds of criticism. We have had one continuous ovation from the moment we left the transport, and if it were not for the sorrow we feel over the death of our colonel, and the recollection of the brave comrades we buried in Manila, we would feel that there was nothing to mar our happiness and the measure of that happiness could not be increased. We are glad, of course, to get home, where we ex pected our friends would be kind to us, but we had no idea that the whole country would blaze with enthusiasm and almost smother us with kind atten tions. We are coming back better Americans than when we went away. Some of us may have grumbled a little, but every man of us loves our country and our flag better than ever. You will find that the talk of dissatisfaction among the soldiers with the policy of the administration has no foundation in the sentiment of the officers and men. You will find few if any in this regiment any other of the volunteers in favor of hauling down the flag Ifnm any point on earth where It has been raised, and whether we want the Philippines or not for a permanent part of the union you will find few volunteer soldiers who would consent to have the flag removed from the land where so much American blood has been spilled." IOWA PRESS COMMENT. "The triumphal procession of the Tenth Pennsylvania across the conti nent shows that patriotism is a mighty live thing in this country," observes the Sioux City Tribune. The Ottumwa Courier notices that "Thomas B. Reed's resignation has gone quietly in, and nobody has said less about it than Tom himself." The Iowa City Republican declares that "The foe of the workingman is the demagogue who urges him to oppose progress, as the hand weavers, for in stace, attempted to do by destroying the first power looms." The Clinton Herald notices that "The Iowa daily and weekly papers show the largest and most attractive advertising of fall goods that has ever been known In the state. The business men expect good trade and they are going after it early." "Coin" Harvey, after taking a fifty mile drive through Nebraska, says: don't believe the people generally know what a rich, magnificent state it is." "Yet," says the Council Bluffs Nonpa reil, "this is the apostle of calamity who is passing around the hat to get pay for telling the people that they are but the slaves of the money power and that they are being ground down into pover ty and distress under the iron heel of corporations." ^htgTHnei^ Vy who conduct's the trial, and what the judge wants of each witness is the rev elation of whatever may be in that wit ness' mind respecting the subject under investigation. It then becomes the sub sequent business of the magistrate to get at such grains of legal evidence's may be found in the chaff of the wit ness' rambling discourse. It would be a rather bold proposition to assert that under our American method substantial justice is rendered in a larger percent age of cases than under the French method. In the Dreyfus case liberty al lowed to witnesses on the one side was allowed in about the same measure to others. It is as apparent that our straight-laced American methods are as susceptible of improvement as the dis cursive ways of the French. M«' I 1 1 I TOPICS OF THE TIMES 111111111111111 11111 HI The bubonic plague is reported to be very active in Astrakhan, Russia, on the Caspian sea, and at New-Chwang, China, where many caqea have termi nated fatally. 'Every time that Mr. Bryan declares for free sliver he makes it more certain that a million democrats will not vote for him," says the Kansas City Journal. The selection of Hon. H. O. Weaver, of Wapello, for chairman of the repub lican state central committee will be widely approved by the party. His elec tion was by unanimous vote of the com mittee. He assures republicans of his intention to be impartial by saying, "I shall use the office of chairman for no candidate, but for all the party." He is conscious that he succeeds a very ef ficient man in following Hancock, and says, "I shall try to keep up the rec ord." The fact is the party is willing to help him break the record in Novem ber. The Transvaal refuses to make any further concessions to Great Britain, and war seems more imminent than ever. A big back-down or some fur ther adroit efforts may prolong the stage of wordy negotiations. Ferdinand W. Peck, United States commissioner general to the Paris ex position, is en route to Denver to ar range for a mining exhibit for the big show next year. Somehow there is something in the waving of the old flag by a volunteer that doesn't encourage an anti-expan sionist to imitate Edward Aguinaido Atkinson plaints. Ex-Senator Manderson, of Nebraska, who delivered the annual address be fore the American Bar Association at Buffalo has a vigorous opinion of duty as to the Philippines. He said that the American government has proceeded upon the lines of a principle recognized and acquiesced in by all civilized pow ers. Nothing stands in the way of an orderly, beneficent provisional or tem porary government but "insurrection ists In arms, revolutionists in battle ar ray, encouraged in their rebellion by political theorists who would if they could adopt a policy not only Utopian, but emasculating, one that would make the great republic a weakling, to be flouted at and scorned by the powers." The duty of this country, says Mr. Man derson, is to put down the revolt and then with kindly guidance lead the Filipinos to self government. If a sep arate autonomy can be had for the Is lands, and he hopes it may be, he is sure congress will grant it. But the first thing to do is to put down the in surrection, Just as President McKinley has indicated in his public addresses. The Boston papers claim that the gold democrats of Massachusetts are thoroughly aroused and determined not to let the silver men take snap-judg ment. Since observing the wonderful intel ligence and skill of the monster ele phants in the circus, Marshalltown re publicans are more resigned to the use of the animal with the big trunk as the representative of the G. O. P. At any rate, the long-eared beast is not "In it" by way of comparison. If. as reported, Aguinaido has been killed by one of his own generals in a quarrel, it would be a fate entirely in consonance with his treachereous rec ord. The London underground railway is losing popularity. During the last half year the falling off in the number of passengers carried amounted to some WO,000. During the same time the pa tronage of the penny 'bus largely In creased. In referring to this matter one of the papers says that "considering what a vile stench hole the under ground is, especially In these hot days, it is not to be wondered at that such a showing has been made. The average carriage on this hole-in-the-ground line is hardly fit for a self respecting hog to travel in. Life below ground seems, too, to have spoiled the tempers of the Metropolitan officers, who are certainly the most surly railway men in London." Multitudes of people in this locality got away from themselves and familiar environments by attending the circus. The Ohio democrats are reported to be divided on the Philippine question. Many of them are willing to have a strong declaration against McKinley and Imperialism, but they protest against any outspoken condemnation of the Philippine war. In an article given elsewhere the New York Sun shows "The Only Way to Do It," in a review of the situation intend ed for democrats. President McKinley is a statesman, a Christian statesman, occupying the highest office within the gift of the peo ple. This office Imposes certain obliga tions upon him, which he is bound to observe. He has duties to perform which he must execute. Among them is the present one of crushing out the rebellion in the Philippines and restor ing peace, order and good government. He can only take one step at a time. He does not look beyond the present duty, but with supreme confidence in the na tion and the great ruler he adopts the sentiment of "Lead Kindly Light:" "Keep thou my feet I do not ask to see "The distant scene one step enough for me." According to an eastern philosopher if you would be considered the salt of the earth, don't be too fresh. Gen. Davis says the most pressing need in Porto Rico is food. Until anew supply of fruits and vegetables are grown It will require the expenditure of an enormous sum, perhaps reaching $1,500,000, to meet all wants. The terri ble results of hurricane ravages are thus disclosed. The people of the coun- tiWw-^.$* wij. .'TU'i 'J* t-A^ {J&S try are responding In a way that indi cates that .they will nbt allow, the Porto Means to suffer. THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT. It cannot be pr9vented by any legis lation possible to the republican party In congress—a narrow majority, at best. It Is possible only if the democrats unite with the republicans in the con gress which meets on the first of next December, on a common reaffirmation of the single gqjd standard of the Act of February 12, 1S73—making the gold dollar "at the standard weight of twen ty-flve and eight-tenth grains," "the unit of value." If that should be done the silver issue would be eliminated from the canvass of next year, for the attitude of the democratic palrty as to the question In 1800 will be determined by the record on it of the democratic minority in the next congress, and it can be got rid of in no other way. That Is, the silver issue can be re moved from the canvass of next year only by the acceptance and positive support of the gold standard by the democratic party. If that Is done the menace to the reputation and prosper ity of this country of a campaign next year by one of the great parties for the overthrow of the single gold standard will be averted, and it can not be aver ted otherwise. It is idle to beat about the bush by suggesting any expedients of purely republican legislation pre vious to the campaign. They would only tend to aggravate the evil by mak ing still more certain the introduction of the silver issue. Every reasonbale mind must accept the conclusion as we have put It, and long before the election of next year it will be thus accepted. It is a question altogether outside of the range of ordi nary political strategy. It concerns the honor and prosperity of the American nation and every citizen of it, and it must accordingly be met honestly and squarely, face to face, without attempt at evasion or any doubt as to the rela tive position of the two contending parties. The issue is: Shall the single gold standard now established by law be maintained or shall It be set aside In favor of the silver standard? What ever other issues there may arise next year, this must be settled is is essen tial to the credit of the country that it should be settled. It could be decided before the cam paign of 1900, and the Issue removed from perilous popular debate, but only In one way—by the support of the sin gle gold standard by the representa tives of the democratic party In the next congress, and by the democracy next year. If both parties should come out positively in favor of the mainten ance of that standard, all fear of danger from the currency Issue would be dis pelled at once: but if either refuses to make such a declaration it will be upon us and it cannot be averted, and it must become the great issue of the campaign of 1900 as it was of the cam paign of 1896. What, then, is the only course open to the advocates of the gold standard who have been associated with the dem ocratic party and desire to remain in allegiance to it? It is to bring all their Influence to bear on that party to in duce it to favor the maintenance of the gold standard failing to accomplish that purpose, they must, as honest men, as sensible men, turn to, with all their strength, and beat it at the election. It is childish for anybody to pretend that the republican party can prevent the issue, so long as the democratic party is determined to make It and the demo cratic representatives in congress re fuse to lend assistance or countenance to any legislation to maintain the gold standard. This is not a matter about which there can be any political subterfuge or false pretence. It Is too vital for that it comes home too close to the Individ ual Interests of every voter. If men be lieve that the single gold standard Is essential to the maintenance of the value of their property, and to save their business from wreck and ruin, they are not going to vote for any party next year that does not come out flatly for the preservation orthe gold stand ard. The continuance of that standard depends wholly on the popular will its mandate can upset any legislation of the next or of any past congress on the subject. Accordingly, as we have said before, so essential is it to national prosperity that this question of monetary stand ard should be decided finally next year in a square contest between gold and sliver, that such a contest is as desira ble as it is inevitable. No strategy em ployed by either party, however artful, can avoid it. We say that the decision will be final, for we believe that demo cratic effort to overthrow the single gold standard will again be beaten, and being thus beaten will be removed final ly as a vain object of democratic pur suit. Nor Is there any other practical way of getting rid of the menace of the is sue. Democrats convinced of the vital necessity of the gold standard who are hoping to accomplish its maintenance in any other way than by serving notice on the democratic party that their sup port depends on that party's coming out positively in its defence are only delud ing themselves and their followers and Inviting peril for every property and buslenss interest of the American peo ple.

They are proceeding on an utterly false and vicious assumption, however, in arguing that that catas trophe can be prevented by any other political agency than the democratic party Itself. A number of social gatherings this summer at which the unbidden onlook ers have exceeded the Invited guests have called forth criticisms on those who so lack in modesty and pride as to Intrude where they are not desired. This is one side of the picture and in. a town like Marshalltown, where no sharp line of social demarcation can be drawn, we can not see the other side but it was fully brought out in a single instance in "The Workers." The de scription is of a police station whjere penniless men have spent the night. As they tile in they "pass a party who are out "slumming" and one of the outcasts in a surly way asks a companion why it is they are watched as if they were some show or panorama. And why are they? You and I may never have known poverty and misery in their most abject forms, but our lack gives us no license to probe into the afflictions of others. When the poor stare at the well-to-do, we call it vulgar, but the well-to-do may not only stare, but may ply the poor with inquisitive questions and we call It socialistic! There may be those who would call both phases curi osity. Some one laughed a few days ago at a tiny little girl and called her foolish or even obstinate. The little girl, with her dark eyes and dainty ways, would be taken for a little southerner. With those characteristics of the south she adds yet another—a great liking for sweet potatoes. On the breakfast ta ble was a dish of potatoes and the little girl kept asking each one at the table, 'Oh! won't you have a sweet potato? You'd better, for they're very nice." No one corrected her mistake and to one, from whom the passing years have never taken anything of child love or child understanding, it was not alto gether a laughing matter when the lit tle girl broke the potato on her plate and found that It was not a sweet one, but a common Irish one. Perhaps she was foolish to let her disappointment spoil her appreciation of the dainty meal, but when men and women have not altogether outgrown such an im pulse how can we expect It of the little child? The learning to bear disappoint ment Is one of the most important courses in our schooling and some never learn it until the school is closed and mistakes and blots have all been handed in on the papers whereon are written the half-leurned lessons. One of the most Important features at the state fair this week has been the art exhibit and reports say that for once the exhibit has been worthy of such a name. The study and apprecia tion of art may be said to be enjoying another renaissance. There was a time, not BO very FI^r distant, when pictures were little known or understood except among the highly educated or very wealthy. But all that is changed and as books and literature have Been brought within the reach of all, so are pictures and art being brought. Few homes does one enter on the walls of which are not hanging copies of the masterpieces and in the wonderful im petus which art in the public schools has received the school rooms are com ing In for their share of tasteful deco ration and the children are acquainted with the pictures which are conceded to be the best of all that have ever been painted. For local application, we may recall that Marshalltown had an art ex hibit last spring which was an unquali fied success.

Marshalltown, la. lr -V Charity in the past few years has out grown much of its crudeness, and knowledge and Insight are necessary If it would accomplish what it should. But knowledge and insight are not the results of curiosity, nor are they of morbidness. Many who give spasmodic attention to charity, we fear, are actu ated by the one or the other. Even gold Is not free from baser materials and so the bad and the care less are not always separated from charity, which is itself pure gold. No other work can r,o ennoble one as the seeking to better another, and that is what charity really is. Selfishness Is the cause of all sin and lo^e Is the cause of all good—and the translators of the Holy Book have taught us that love and charity are one. What would summer bo without a circus? Laugh and Joke as we may at the same old parade and side show and concert, which one of us would miss it all? Circus day Is a halcyon one for the small boy, for then he Is in much de mand. A most unapproachable small boy it must be who can not find some one willing, aye eager, to take him "to see the animals." Tn this connection the story is recalled of a man in a town not very far away who as the flaming pos ters announced in gaudy colors the coming of the "great and only" cast about In his mind for some excuse to attend. Being blessed with no offspring and all his acquaintances providing for theirs, his search seemed futile until at last he found one small boy who had no visible means of attending. As a sinking man catches at a slender straw he clung to that small boy and winning for himself the reputation of a child lover and kind doer, he set forth for the circus. The smnll boy seemingly en Joyed it, but what shall be said of the "man's enjoyment? But his honor was short lived and today his appearance Is the signal for general laughter, for on the way home some one overtaking them said: "Why. Mr. Blank, I didn't know you had a little boy." "Oh! I haven't," he answered, "but I took this little boy, who hadn't any one to go with him." One never knows when he will be deserted by the one he has most befriended and it was so In this case, for the little boy said, "Yes. and I fell asleep and fell down through the seats and Mr. Blank was looking at the clown so hard that he never knew it and didn't he look surprised when the po liceman pushed me up through 'em again?" The best part of this story is that It's true. White Transfer Storaea for Hou»*hold QBO. W. BEASLIY. EMPIRE AXLE GREASE Something New! Larc* package of the World** best cleanser for a nickel.

Middle-of-tbe-Roadera Hold Their Stale, Convention at I)e8 Moines Today. -'Yy' Chairman Weeks Declares It Time To Cot Loose From the Democrats. Party Hast Stand For Its Own 'I: Principles Only—Defines the Tunes. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Aug. 30.—The convention of the middle-of-the-road populists opened at 10:30 thla 'morning in Flynn hall, at the corner of Seventh and West Locust streets. There was a larger at tendance -than has ever before been present for a convention of the party. The gathering was called to-order by A. W. C. Weeks, of Winterset, chair man of the state central committee, who was selected to be temporary chairman of the convention. In taking charge of the deliberations Mr. Weeks said: 10:* 1:U LIM U):S S:U8 oMtm'BoM Gentlemen of the Convention.—The peoples' party of the state of Iowa 'is to be congratulated upon the large attend ance upon this convention. When we remember that only two years ago the immortal forty-seven walked out of the fusion populist convention, and when we look -upon this large- and enthusi astic assembly of populists from all over this broad state of Iowa we oer talnly may congratulate ourselves upon the growth of the regular, true blue peoples' party in Iowa." We have al most exactly changed positions with those former populists who, either con scientiously or from motives of attach ment to certain leaders have been, from time to time, tolled along until they have been finally, upon one pretext or another, landed in the democratic camp. Their recent alleged convention was not us large in numbers as was ours In June, 1897, when we took up this work again, without any organization, with out any records, without any funds and without any leaders. Thus has this soon come to pass the predictions that we made at that time, that the peoples' party was being seduced from the path of populism to become a mere adjunct and aid society to the democratic par ty, and this year is to be the turning point in the history of our party. Fu sion has been officially killed by the democratic party of Iowa at its last convention. When it was therein pro posed to refer the nomination of one office to the so-called populists that motion was laid upon the table In a democratic convention by a vote of four to one. Judge Carr, of the democratic state central committee, said "that he was a democrat through and through, and as a democrat he felt that the par ty had no business to allow any other organization to make its nominations." Charles A. Waish, another prominent lemocrat, and now secretary of the democratic national committee, said "it is time that we stand alone. These peo ple who vote with us and want to get places on our ticket had better come into our party and be known by our name. I am opposed this year to con cede anything to the populists or any other organization." Thus we find the democratic party, after having seduced the populist virgin from the path of rectitude, spurning her with contempt. Let us take them at their word and throw away sham populism, recogniz ing that there is no common ground of union between the democratic and the peoples' party. Let us throw aside ail shallow pretenses and again unite in straight work for the principles of pop ulism. To all those who have differed with us in the past and who are willing now to return to their allegiance to the party we say we gladly bid you wel come and give you fraternal greeting and ask you with us to go forward in the Old time enthusiasm and energy for the upbuilding of the princlpiees which are enunciated by the peoples' party. Last year our convention was held at a time when it was almost impos sible for farmers to attend it. That meeting, consequently, fell off some what from the attendance of our Au gust convention in 1897, and lack of funds prevented a vigorous campaign last year, but we feel now that we have arrived at a time of llood-tide. On ev ery hand we receive encouraging words and are assured of return to the party of many who have heretofore differed with us in matters of policy. There is no middle ground for us to take. Early in the morning of May 1, 189S, Commodore Dewey, at the head of his tleet, was steaming into Manila bay. He had no. charts, he had no idea of the actual dangers ahead. He knew not where the mines and the torpedoes of the enemy were locateed. Yet did Dewey hesitate? No. When his sub ordinate officers asked him what they should do his only order was "steam ahead." So we, being charged with the duty of holding up the flag of the peo ples' party in the state of Iowa, must not hesitate at this time. Let us do as Dewey did, "steam ahead,' never mind Ing the guns of the enemy, the subma rine mines and the torpedoes of enemies within or enemies without, but perse vering in our course, let us go ahead In the face of all opposition, stopping only a few moments for breakfast, and a final triumph shall at last be ours. "What are the issues in this paign? "They may largely be summed under two heads: First, trusts and monop olies second, imperialism." "The illegitimate idea of all trusts is to first limit the output and thereby, secondly, control the price." Mr. Weeks put the money trust at the head of the issues. He advanced all the old^arguments against banks, the gold standard, etc. Continuing he said: "While the peoples' party of Iowa is still for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to f, yet we must get back to the central idea of the money trust, which is to limit the out put and thus control the price of mon ey, and there Is a deeper object than the mere matter of controlling the price of actual money, for the profit of the banker Is not so' much In the amount of actual cash he handles as the credit which he can sell. Controlling the cash of. the country, the money trust is thereby enabled to control the credit of the country. Just as 'outlined by Mr. Eckles. We read a great deal about the prosperity, of the present times about Itha lsrffe increase In fleuinf houa« changes, and about the large Increase In.per capita circulation of money, yet, when we consider that In this country today, according to batik statements, there are over $6,000,000,000 on deposit in the banks, and when we further consid er the fact that, according to treasury statements, the'entlre amount of money of all kinds in circulation on the 1st day of August, 1898, was 1,900,000,000, It must be apparent to all that at least two-thirds of the so-called bank de posits exist only by reason of credits extended and exist only upon the books of the bank, the depositor borrowing his own credit and checking against his own credit for at least $4,000,000,000 which does not represent the invest ment by the banks of a single dollar cash, but by the control of the money and limiting Its volume, the bankers are thereby enabled to say who shall save credit and who shall not who may speculate and who may not who may enter into legitimate business and who may not." The industrial trusts were discussed and the war issue taken up. In the course of his speech against the war in the Philippines the chairman said: "For the situation in the Philippine islands the democratic party is almost equally responsible with the adminis tration, because It was in the power of that party to have defeated the ratlfl cation of the treaty of peace with Spain, which included the cession to the Unit ed States of whatever, if any, sov ereignty Spain had there. The admin istration took a quit-claim deed with out even an abstract of title accompa* nying it, and the democrayc votes nec essary for the ratification of the treaty of peace which included the cession of the Philippines to us, and ab'out which we are now fighting, were given at the instance and under the advice of Wil liam J. Bryan, democratic aspirant for the presidency. We charge the demo cratic leader with being a party to this wicked attempt to jump the claim and seize the country of another people, and this fact being admitted and confessed, we declare that neither he nor his party have any logical right to attack the ad ministration for trying to perfect its title to the Philippine islands, which might have been defeated by democrat ic votes in the senate, thus sending the treaty of peace back to the peace con ference with instructions to omit that part which attempted to cede to this country sovereignty over the Philip pines and therefore both the republi can party, Bryan and the democratic party are equally guilty in the prem ises." Concluding, he said: "In closing I wish to impress upon you the necessity of active work in pro mulgating these principles. We are this year fighting upon the skirmish line of the great battle of 1900. While to a superficial observer it may appear at this time that the peoples' party which we represent is but a handful that we have radical ideas that we are de manding some impracticable things that we are not skilled in finances that we are not professors of political economy yet we believe that these principles are founded upon true eco nomlc science. We know that an edu cational work is going on among the people, and among many classes of peo ple which have not yet been identified with the peoples' party organization, and which will before long burst out Into a wonderful growth and adhere to the political party which is in the field advocating the principles which will correct these economic, industrial and financial wrongs and furnish the peo pie a cheap, economical, honest and patriotic government. It therefore be hooves us to keep in line: to keep our lamps trimmed and burning to propo gate our doctrines to be earnest in sea son and out of season, and it will profit us to pay less attention to discussing in the future the question of fusing, which is now burled in the democratic grave and its funeral sermon preached by the chairman of the democratic na tional committee. Let us pay no atten tlon to side issues. Let us pay no tit tention to and give no aid or comfort to either democrats or republicans, who want our votes only to elevate them into office, but let us cast our votes for those self sacrificing men who, without the present certainty of official reward, patriotically consent to be our standard bearers. Let us not treat them with in gratitude by withholding from them our solid support, which we are morally bound to give them. The peoples' party may be small, but It is the nucleus and representative of principles which will make It a giant party." No LOB» of Time,- i-: Mr. W. S. Whedon, cashier of the First National Bank of Winterset, la., In a recent letter gives some experience with a carpenter in his employ that will be of value to other mechanics. He says: "I had a carpenter working for me who was obliged to stop work for several days on account of being troubled with diarrhoea. I mentioned to him that I had been similarly troub^d and that Chamberialn's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy had cured me. He bought a bottle of it from the drug gist here and Informed me that one dose cured him, and he Is again at work." For sale by druggists. Chicago to Sow York ana Return For 818.45.

[What Cheer Patriot.] Fred White Is a repudiator of the extremest kind for, aside from being in favor of repudiating half of his debts by the free silver route, has he not repudiated even his own name? It was "Frits WelBS," but the "Dutch" is not good enough for him, and as you all well know, it Is now the "Honorable Frederick E. White." A WORKINGMAN'S TESTIMONY. [Sioux City Journal.] Things are rather quiet just now In labor circles," said a union man yester day. "It's because we're all too busy to spend much time at anything except work. I don't know of a time in a good many years when men were so much in demand as they are Just now and the wages are of a kind that suit the work lngman." RECORD OF AN EX-GOVERNOR [Waterloo .Reporter.] Ex-Governor Samuel Merrill, who was stricken with paralysis in Los Angeles, Cal., a few days ago, was governor of Iowa for two terms, 1868 to 1872. He was 7 years old on the 7th of this month. He removed to Iowa in 1856, making his home at McGregor, where he engaged in the mercantile business. In 1862 he was commissioned colonel of the Twenty flVst Iowa and served for over two years. His retirement from the army was hastened by a wound received in the Vlcksbu'rg campaign. After the war he removed to Des Moines, and for a number of years was at the head of one of the banks there. He removed to Cal ifornia a number of years ago. WEAVER FOR CHAIRMAN. [Burlington Haukeye.] Chairman Weaver's state wide ac quaintance, his legislative experience, his long period of service on the state commltttee, and on the executive board of that body, coupled with his familiar ity with the party history, his well known probity of character and ac knowledged ability, combined to render him the natural choice. It will receive the endorsement of the party at large. It is true, a few ultra Cummins organs at Des Moines have attempted to inject the senatorial ques tion into this matter, as indeed they have into almost everything from gov ernor to dog catcher. The illimitable gall evidenced by their undertaking to dictate the choice of a chairman, whilst admitting the Gear men to be In control of the committee, is in keeping with their kittenish ways. But it will fall fiat. Nobody is going to be hurt. The republicans of Iowa will not permit their organization to suffer disruption at the hand, or ambition, of any man or set of men. Least of all will the adherents of Senator Gear tolerate such practices. The senator's own party rec ord will answer for that. Mr. Weaver's well-known candor and reputation for fair dealing were suffi cient to cause his selection as chair man of the committee named to inves tigate certain slanderous charges against the speaker of the twenty-sixth general assembly—the very highest compliment that body could pay his sincerity and integrity. These same ele ments of strength will come to his as sistance in administering the onerous duties of party management. No clique nor star chamber arrange ment will dictate his administration. He will be glad to have the aid and counsel of all republicans for the good of the whole party. The leader* of the dominant party in Iowa have given this state a conspicuous station. None is more powerful in the councils of the party or in the administration of na tional government. It needs a broad-minded, level-headed man to conduct the state campaign. We have such an one in the person of Mr. Weaver. IOWA NEWS ITEMS FORT DODGE—The people of this city are planning great things for the street fair, which is to occur soon. DENISON.—Contractor L. A.

Not Hany Depredations As a-Resolt Of Giroas Day—Two Cases In the'City. Rooms In Commercial Bank Entered and 8ome Jewelry Taken— 8ultlng Stolen. Soldiers' Home Larceny Case on—• Nnmeroas Other Cases and Polioe Happenings. Considering the size of the crowd in the city Tuesday there were very few arrests, and none of them were for any serious offense. But very few cases of larceny were reported and no cases of pickpockets. Between 5 and 7 o'clock, or during the supper hour at Ward's dining hall, thieves entered the living apartments of the young ladies em ployed as waitresses. The rooms are located up stairs over the dining hall and were locked. Entrance, however, was gained to one of the back rooms, and from there the thi'eves succeeded in getting Into all the others, working towards The front of the building. The first notice taken of the fact that some one had been in the rooms, oc curred after supper, when the girls went to their rooms to dress for the evening. Things were found in a topsy turvey state, bureau drawers were piled promlscously about the tloors and everything showed evidences of having been generally ransacked. From the room of Miss Ella Hosberg the best haul was made, the stolen articles con sisting principally of jewelry. One gold set ring is missing, as are also a pair of link cuff buttons, a garnet breast pin and a gold necklace. Whoever went through the rooms evidently wished money, as he took ten cents from Miss Hosberg'a rooms and four cents from an adjoining room' occupied by Miss Florence Shaullis. A description of the thieves was as certained by little Flossie Ward, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Ward, whe happened to go to her parents' apart ments on an errand about 6 o'clock When she arrived at the top of the stairs she noticed a strange man in the hallway, but she supposed he was wait ing for Dr. Whitac're, whose office "ad joins the hallway. Miss Flossie asked the man if he wanted to see her papa or the doctor, and the rflan answered that he was waiting for the doctor, Flossie also noticed that the door of Miss Shaullis' room was open, but thought nothing of it. She happened to return up the same stairs a short time after this occurrence and as she did so two men, the same man with whom she had talked and another stranger passed down the stairs. The little girl des cribes both quite accurately and would be able to Identify them. The value of the stolen articles does not reach any great amount, but the different pieces of jewelry that belonged to Miss Hos berg were all gifts ana highly prized. STOLE A BOLT OF CLOTH. Arthur Wall was the victim of a thief at about 7 o'clock Tuesday evening at his place of business on West Main street. He was not there at the time the theft, when two men entered and engaged' the attention of Mr. W. C. Os man, Sr., who occupies half of the room. One of the men priced some jewelry and was examining it, while the other stood on the other side of the room and (riaced under his coat a bolt of cloth containing two pieces of suiting, valued at $20. Mr. Osman did not notice any thing wrong, but Dr. Cottle and ,A. A. Greenbaum were suspicious of the man ner in which one of the men held his coat, as if he had something hidden un der it. Dr. Cottle reported the matter to the police and the theft was noticed as soon as Mr. Wall returned. The men walked north on Center street, but no traces of them could be found. One of the thieves tried to sell the cloth tc George Gerhart during the evening, but he got away before an officer could be notified. One arrest was made on sus picion, but no proof was available. FARM HOUSE ROBBERY REPORT­ ED. Word was brought to the city Tues day afternoon that the farm home oi Mr. and Mrs. Haynes, four miles south west of the city, in Timber Creek town ship, had been entered by a thief ant? several articles stolen. Nothing was learned as to the description of the stol en articles. The thief was supposed to be a club-footed man, as tracks leading from the yard indicated such to be the ca AN ASSAULT CASE. Before Justice Alien Tuesday after noon J. T. Dawson was arraigned charged by Madison Brooks, colored, of being guilty of using blasphemous and obscene language to the disturbance of the public peaoe and quiet. The case was dismissed, however, and evidence given was such as to warrant Brooks' arrest this morning on a charge of as sault and battery. Brooks lives near the Frudden Lumber Company's yards and Dawson works for the company. It is alleged that Brooks beat one of his children with the butt-end of a riding whip, which caused the trouble between the negro and Dawson. Brooks' hearing will be had this evening at 7:30 o'clock In Justice Allen's court. THE SOLDIERS' HOME CASE. The case from the Soldiers' Home, in which H. W. Curtis is charged with the larceny of 121 in money and some valu able papers from A. Renshaw, came up for hearing this morning in Justice Allen's court, but was -taken on a change of venue to Justice Burrltt's court. Curtis was arraigned Tuesday afternoon and pleaded not guilty to the charge. Renshaw is sergeant of room 3, at the main building of the Home, where the theft Is alleged to have oc curred. Curtis lives on West Boone street with his fumily, but takes his meals at the Home. The evidence of the state seemed very convincing as to the guilt of the defendant, but the case lasted well along into this forenoon. All of the stolen money, as described' by Renshaw, was found on the person of Curtis, it is claimed, with the exception of one bill. Veteran Jamison, who keeps a sutler's shop just outside the Home gates, was used as a witness for the state. He swore to the fact that Curtis presented to him a 95 bill in pay ment of a debt of fl and that he (Jami son) gave him back $4 in silver. At 8:15 the evidence was all completed and the case was given to the court without argument on either side. The court decided that the evidence was sot MiiiiijM av^S" aufflclent to convict sad the defendant was discharged. a County Attorney Stone says that It may be possible that the-' case will be brought before the grand Jury for in vestigation, providing any more. evi dence can be secured for the state. SUES RINOLING BROS. S. G.

Pow- gtenfngTimgs^^ SO*riittMl% ^ugnst&l, JB9H' It Is Claimed That Negotiations For the Sale of the Central Have Been Terminated. Price Asked is Considered by the Milwaukee and Burlington Roads as Too High, Railway Official Makes a Flea For Legislation For Proteotion Of Trainmen. A report comes-from Des Moines, based on the statements of an attorney Interested in the negotiations pending between the Iowa Central on the one hand and the Burlington and Milwau kee roads on the other, for the pur chase ahd division of the Central by the Milwaukee and Burlington roads yes terday that the negotiations have come to a sudden termination and that until a better proposition is made by the Iowa Central there is no prospect of a sale of the road. The price placed on the Central is considered altogether too high by the representatives of the two trunk lines reported to be desirous of securing the Central, and they declare that it would be impossible to make it earn fair dividends on such an invest ment. It is understood that the Iowa Central hold's the property at something over $20,000 a mile or nearly twice as much as it would be necessary to ex pend to duplicate the road and about $4,500 a mile in excess of what it is fig ured the property could be bonded for. The Burlington, heretofore, has not figured in the negotiations, and just what sort of a division the two roads named could make of the Central Is not apparent from a survey of the field from this end. The Milwaukee, it is reasonable to suppose, would desire the north and south line of the Central, as a connecting link between its northern Iowa and central Iowa lines, whicii ex tend across the entire state from east to west, and as a coal feeder to these lines. If the report Is correct that the pend ing negotiations have fallen through Marshalltown people should not feel badly about it, unless they are assured that the change would be a benefit. There is just one chance for this city to benefit by the Central going into control of the Milwaukee. That would result from that road changing its main line, which runs seven miles south, through this city, and making this the largest division point for both the east and west and north and south lines. PROTECTION IS NEEDED. •V Kail-way Ofllclal Talks Sense on the Tramp Xulnunce. "That awful tragedy on the Great Western near Marshalltown the othei day makes me wonder more than evei what will be the outcome of the tramp question," remarked a prominent Bur lington official to an Ottunnva Courier reporter the other day. "Things have came to such a pass that every member of a train crew should carry a revolver for self-protection, and yet there is ab solutely no warrant in law for such an action. The impression prevails that because trains are not held up as frequently now as they used to be in this section a few years ago the tramp question is gradu ally solving Itself, but suoh is not the cose by any means. I think every man in Iowa will bear me out^in the asser tion that the tramp nuisance was never greater nor more serious than it is to day. Several years ago bands of tramps would by sheer bulk and numbers take possession of a train and insist upon being carried to the end of the division, or as far as they waited to travel on that particular day, but they werp gen erally good natured and harmless as compared with the fellows who make it a business to bwit their way on the roads today. We well remember how the companies used to cut trains in two and try all kinds of tricks to outwit the hoboes, but it rarely happened that trainmen were compelled to defend their very lives. "Almost every day we hear of some bold deedi perpetrated by one of the hobo type, wherein the life of the employe of the road and also the safety of the train is jeopardized. Many of the trainmen are equal to any emergency or bluff that comes up, and their physique is In their favor. I have a brother out on the west end, who very seldom has any trouble with tramps. He gives his or ders and they look at the man and get out. He can handle three or four ordi nary men in a fistic encounter, and un less he runs amuck of an armed hobo, does not fear any of them. The num ber of reinforcements which the hobo company might have don't make much difference to him, either. But there are thousands of employes of railroad com panies in the train service who would not prove anything near a match for the average tramp, that has no other ambition than that of seeing how nervy he can become. Such men, I say, should have some protection. Assaults from bos' are entirely too frequent, and It is high time that some legislation should be made relative to this important question. "The public is vitally interested in this matter. If things have come to such a pass that trainmen are liable to be killed between stations and trains left without protection it is time that something should be done. When worthless scoundrels can kill trainmen and throw their bodies under the wheels to be cut to pieces the railroads are going to clamor for laws that will protect them. Railroads are often ac cused of working for laws that espe cially benefit them, and I guess they do, for they need special rights and pro tection, and every particle of it in turn benefits the public. I think that the coming general assembly ought to take up the tramp question and solve it for all time. "What I would suggest is a law mak ing it a criminal offense for any person to board a train with the intention of beating a ride. If some poor cuss steals a few chickens he gets sent down to Fort Madison. If a man beats his way over the entire length of the Burling ton without being discovered, defraud ing the company out of several dollars, he is considered cute by some people. If he is killed while stealing a ride and leaves a relative on earth they think they are damaged. "There are three or four months In •very year in vhich the elements of fti'f if 1 ii'*r it^dMilHMs •SSr*' dancer In a railroad man's life does not lie in the probability of death by acci dent, but in his dealings with the ho boes. I don't know how long the pub lic is going to stand this, but it seems to me that every person who travels on the railroads should unite with the companies In securing legislation that will tend to lessen the tramp nuisance and protect the life of railroad men and the traveling public. If the hobo is dangerous enough to shoot a brakeman in cold blood and then throw his body under the wheels he is mean enough to derail a train." AMUSEMENTS.

The second attraction of the season at the Odeon came last night, when "A Wise Woman" was presented by a good company, headed by Marie Lamour and Frederic Murphy.

Dubuque, Aug. 30.—Joe Choynski was given the decision over "Australian Jimmy" Ryan at the end of the twen tieth round go here last night for the light heavyweight championship of the world. Choynski demonstrated great cleverness throughout, liyan stood Joe's continued left jabbing in the face well, and showed little signs of punish ment at the end of the bout. The de cision was strictly on points. Choynski weighed close on 15S while his opponent was a matter of six pounds lighter. George Siler was referee and James Whitfield, of Kansas City, time keeper. The large hall, capable of seating 5,000 spectators, began to All at 9 o'clock an hour before the time set for the ap pearance of Clarence Forbes and "Con" Suffleld, both from Chicago. Before the appointed time every seat in the ampi theater was tilled. The crowd amused itself in cheering the arrival of well known faces. President Hancock of the Driving Club receiving an ovation. Over the ring was suspended a cluster of incandescent lights with a shade, a new arrangement, to throw the light directly on the men. Choynski and Ryan entered the ring at 11:02. Choynski looked like a sick man, his eye being dull and his tlesh flabby. Jlyan looked like1 a trained athelete. He was much heavier but not so tali as Choynski. The latter evidently thought he hud an easy task and went at his man confidently. His superior skill made Ryan appear like a novice, and yet the Californian's blows either lacked force or failed to reach tfuite the right spot. In the fifth round, however, the Australian landed a terrific right just under the heart, raising a welt on Choynski's side. Later he g'it in a mild right to the face.

Both men fought cleanly. Choynski had a par ticularly elever way of protecting him self in breakaways.

It set Ryan's nose to bleeding hard, the blood upon Choynski's body, but otherwise did not affect Ryan further than make 1 CULLEY'S C. 0. D. STORE him look sad and worried. Choynski again landed left and right hard to the face in quick succession just before, the tap of the bell. Ryan had fully recovered before* the eleventh round, and was as lively as ever, landing a couple of face blows during the round, while Choynski did his usual attaok, and landed many blows to the face, with an occasional one to the body. In the twelfth round Ryan claimed Choynski had something his left glove, but Referee Siler ex amined th- mitt and found nothing. ST'FPfELD VS.

At times he rallied and atempted to force the fighting, but Forbes bad the advantage for most of the contest. There was not much to choose be tween them for actual lighting done un til the eighth round, and then Forbes, by landing a left and a little later a right to the jaw, got his man a little Kr°SKy- Suffl»lil, T' 1 gamely and by his good work in- per however, fought back fig]ujng managed to fairly hold his own until the middle of the tenth round. A Pickling Vinegar, with all the],™, ed while Suflield was coming toward him and was the blow- evidently that Forbes had been waiting to land all through the fight. Suflield fell heavily and instead of taking his time immedi ately jumped up. although so groggy he could scarcely stand. Forbes, urged on by his seconds, went right after him. and Suflield, weak a he was, tried to fight back, thereby keeping so close that Forbes could not land a hard blow. Finally Forbes half knocked and half pushed him to the floor again. Then, as Suflield arose, Forbes fook his time, did not get too close and, watching his chance, landed another right square on the jaw. Nuffield fell through the ropes and was caught by spectators near the ring, preventing him from falling to the floor. While Siler was calling off the seconds Suffleld's second threw the sponge into the ring, but their man was unable to rise. Suflield, however, soon recovered and walked to his dressing room. Ring experts expressed the opinion that Suflield would improve greatly with ring experience. His resemhl.in--p except in size, to Fitzsimmons was commented upon by spectators l'lan for Dowey Parade, New York, Aug. 30.—Details of th« plan for the Dewey naval parade hav« been made public by Gen. Howard Car roll. In point of size it will surpass any other naval demonstration ever held in the waters around New York. There will be eight or ten warships In line, be sides those of Admiral Sampson's north Atlantic squadron. Over 100 yachts and 150 other vessels will be in the column, representing every type of craft. They will follow in the wake of the warships In single line. Gen. Carroll has invited Sir Thomas Lipton to take part in the parade with his steam yacht Erin. Sir Thomas will be met by a number of the committee on his arrival here and his answer ob tained. It is expected that the owner of ©oceithtj Thnea-lleimhTtcmt, llXane^lllbfimi, fcmm, TOaff the cup challenger will accept the Invi tation. The plan to have the historical frigate Constitution anchored off Grant's tomb to serve as a stake boat around which Admiral Dewey and the naval fleet were to pass during: the water parade on September 29 has been abandoned. While this decision is a disappoint ment to thoBe who have the water pa rade in charge, it Is somewhat softened by the fact that the frigates Plymouth and New Hampshire will be anchored off Grant's tomb on the day of the show. The Olympla will head the column, followed by Sampson's fleet. Behind the fleet will come the mayor's boat, Sandy Hook, with the city's Invited guests on board, and next will be the boat bearing the members of the mu nicipal assembly. 'The boat furnished for the accommo dation of members of the press will fol low, and then will come the yachts leading the merchant marine. Twenty-four harbor tugs and twelve other harbor boats carrying members of the naval reserve will act as escorts, and will police the harbor and the lint of parade.

The crowd followed the decline and oversold. Large clearances at seaboard started covering and but little offerings were on the market. One house bought freely to cover at a shade under 72. While we see no bull feature that warrants a sharp bulge being sustained, we don't think developments of yesterday or to day warranted short sales. People here who were rank bulls at 78 now have lost faith. This is too often a bad sign for a short seller. The market today could be called an intuitive one. The crowd seemed to take the view we outlined in our remarks of yesterday, and best judgment would at the moment appear to -buy wheat on declines.

Aug. 30.—At democratic headquarters it was given .out yester day that the silver republican mine owners of the west have declared that they would not contribute any money to the national campaign fund if the sil ver issue was relegated to the back ground in 1900. It is said that such men as Marcus Daly of Montana, D. H. Mof fett of Colorado and other mine owners who contributed liberally to the sliver campaign fund in 1896 have served no tice on the leaders that they need not look for any support from them if the silver question does not form the pre dominating plank in the national plat form.

A WAR WELL-FINANCED. fSt. Louis Globe-Democrat.] History will give the administration high credit for the financial manage ment of the war with Spain and the war that followed it as an unwelcome but unavoidable sequel. The cost has been far less than was anticipated be fore hostilities began. War taxes were wisely Imposed at the beginning of the conflict and the country, in spite of the greatly increased expenditure, has avoided a formidable accumulation of debt. Most of the expenses of the war were charged up during the last fiscal year ending June 30. The deficit for the year was $89,000,000, much less than any of the estimates. This year's prospect la that the treasury will keep even, or nearly so. Revenue is increasing and expenses falling oft. The navy costs but little more now than on a peace tooting. Congress appropriated $80,000, 000 for the authorized army of 100,000 men. The. cost of maintaining the army in the Philippines is not yet closely as certained, but it will be nothing unusual except in the matter of transporting troops. Manila is an'ideal base for con venience and security, and campaigning in Luzon will be no more expensive than elsewhere. Carrying army sup plies in ships is the cheapest method known. Nothing in the condition of the treas ury indicates that heavy taxes will be necessary and those in existence bear lightly upon the people. There is an am ple balance of cash on hand. The United States came out of the war with Spain In extraordinarily good financial shape, and paid a large sum to the de feated nation Instead of asking one. At the end of modern wars, as a rule, both combatants have contended with huge additions to their national debts and have been compelled to meet the emer gency with increased taxation or, for the winning side, a demand for im mense indemnity. When war with Spain became a certainty the average estimate of the probable cost was about $700,000,000. That was the general judg ment, and the great difference between that figure and the actual expenditure is the just measure of the financial effi ciency and foresight of the administra tion Whrf The peculiar simplicity of the French peasant is illustrated by two incidents. A peasunt went to his postolllce and of fered for the mail a letter which was over the weight specified for a single stomp. "This is too heavy," said tho postmas ter. "You will have to put another stamp on it." "Wh-wh-why," said the peasant, with wide open eyes, "w-w-wlil another stamp make it lighter?" Another peasant, presiding over the municipal council of bis village, gave the assembly a lecture on the lack of neces sity fpr sny more road building. "As for the roads which are now bad," he said, "It is of no use tq repair, them, for nobody travels over them, and as for those which are good, why do anything to them until the/ get bad?" it LE »\l ii Agents for the celebrated KtTIMATM PURNIINID ON OrriCK IN FIDELITY BANK BUILDING.. *11111111 t-H-Mim 11 in 11 11 in 11 1 1 SILK WAISTS DRESS SKIRTS mm •1'1'H Ml'11-H-lM 1 1 111*11 111 1 1 1 lii-M.n H- I We are prepared to show youl some very new effects in Trous-| erings for fall, direct from thej eastern markets.
