Ia his address Guild said: "The need of today is pqaee, and peace with honor-peace between na tions, comity between states, and good temper as well as honesty between in dividuals. AVe must enforce, we have enforced, the law,"* whether those who encroach upon Its provisions are cor porations or individuals. We must con trol, we have controlled, the great public service corporations. The alter nation of such control is not individ ualism, but socialism. If, however, there is a year when it is particularly desirable to avoid recklesu or sensa tional onslaughts on property, t^ie curtailing of commerce, checking in vestments, and reducing alike the earnings of capital and the employ ment of labor, it is this year 1908. "The most serious question to be de termined in this session Is the settle ment of the transportation problem of Massachusetts. It should be tak en up in a broad spirit free from prejudice. Especially should legisla tive action that is merely destructive be avoided. No policy which has not been thoroughly and carefully followed to its conclusions should be adopted. It is nbt an exaggerated charge, but a I simple statement of fact, to say that no steam' railroad in Massachusetts is giving the service it should give to a public. The existing law is inadequate to deal with the public control of rail roads. The railroad commission should be clothed with ample powers and It shouffl be given the same control of railroads within Massachusetts, that Is terstate business.' LARGE CIRCULATION INCREASE.

JAPAN IN LINE Reply to Root's Memorandum on Im migration Question Apparently of An Agreeable Nature—Paris Seein' Things. Washington, Jan. 2.—Secretary Root today received from Ambassador O'Brien at Tokio, a transcript of the reply of the Japanese government to the memorandum submitted by him some time ago in relation to the regu lation of Japanese immigration into America. The reply Is very long, dis cussing O'Brien's proposition in the greatest details. So far Root has not had the opportunity to carefully con sider the reply, but It is stated that in the opinion of the state department it exhibits a disposition on the part of* the Japanese government to meet the desires of America in a satisfac tory manner. O'Brien coincides in this view of the Japanese response. Paris Views Situation Differently. Paris, Jan. 2.—Some of the Paris newspapers, notably Matin, which have been giving considerable prominence to the American-Japanese "war scare,' haye taken cab!ed reports of Japan's refusal to accept the American condi tlons In the matter of Immigration, to gether with the decision of the^ navy department to keep the torpedo boat remainder or and made of them the subject for fresh alarm. Martin regards the coincidence of these two facts as highly significant and expresses the opinion that Japan intends to press for diplomatic settle ment of the question before the fleet reaches the west coast. The paper as serts the present situation is almost analogous to that which existed before the Russo-Japanese war. HAS YELLOW PERILT00 England Greatly Disturbed Over In cursions of. Asiatics irt White Col onies and Rioting in British Colum bia. London, Jan. 2.—England Is experi encing what might well be called al most a startling awakening to the grave problems caused by the immi gration of Asiatics to her white col onies. The principal political topic for a week past has been the situation in alternative of submitting to what they consider a degrading system of regis tration or of being imprisoned and ex pelled The reports of further racial rioting at Vancouver come at a partic ularly inopportune time, on account of the negotiations now under way be tween Canada and Japan, and they are very annoying to the British govern ment. The officials have hopes that Japan's willingness substantially to re strict her emigration would soften the anti-Japanese prejudices on the Pa cific coast. The latest outbreak in Canada may excite feeling in Japan friendly arrangements with America and Canada.

As a matter of fact there is a gal axy of laws enacted by the last leg islature that are intended to make it Impossible for the corporations to take any hand in politics and If these laws fail It will be because the legislators were unable to draft them strong enough.

A' Statistics For Year on Iowa Crops and Manufactures Show Gi'cat Wealth CROP VALUES ARE IN THE LEAD Manufacturing and Mineral Resources Crowded the Products of the Soil in Value—Iowa Great Livestock State and Gaining as Manufacturing Cen- ter Iowa Is a great in agricultural resources, but the wealth produced by manufactures and by the mineral re sources is crowding to the front. Iowa's varied productions for the year 1907 totaled more than a billion of dollars, as follows: Crop values (for Iowa)... .$32^,715,905 Coal yield 24,900,000 Ijive stock 208.000,000 Dairy products 25,000,000 Stone, gypsutn, lead, etc.... 60,700,000 Manufacturing 324,800,000 Brick, tile, cement 65,415,000 Total I.... $1. ,031,530.905 This is tl}? astonishing showing of statistics setting forth In detail just what the Iowa producer realized in the year which has Jyst closed. Even the staunehest booster for the old commonwealth probably did not realize that Iowa would wheel into llpe .with such* a remarkable offering to the wealth of the nation as this. Tjie fact is, Iowa takes a back scat for no state In the union. The table above proves it beyond any shadow of doubt. Iowans have much for which to be thankful at the close of 1907. There were clouds on the horiaon at times there were occasions when it appeared that her yearly production would not be up to standard. But taken as a whole, considering prices that now prevail and the quality of goods yield- ttd. the past year was not. such, as to away. Injuring one horse serious catlse any qther feeling than that of The doctor was not hurt. general satisfaction and thankfulness. I Harry Miller, who has a govern me ted that the crops are considerably be low the yield of last year In both quan the reports of Crop Director J. R.: Sage. ,'V Corn and oats fell somewhat below the standard of 1906. But 1906 was an abnormal year. And on the average, the crops this year are all that the people could reasonably expect. The prices for corn and other crop products are at the top notch. The farmer finds his corn perfectly satis factory for feeding h^s stock. The de mand for the yield of the farm is un precedented. Hence why should any one complain as the year draws to a close. "Iowa's crops were the victims of cliniatlc conditions which affected not only the one state but others as well," said J. R. Sage, retiring director of the Iowa'weather and crop service. "So, as a matter of fact, Iowa maintains her place as the greatst producing state in the union. For while Iowa fell short pomewnet, .so did Illinois, Nebraska an-i other states." As a live stock state, Iowa is the greatest producer in the union. Her cattle and hogs and horses are un surpassed. They bring the highest .price »t the big eastern markets and it 4s a poor year that Iowa stock does not walk off with more prizes and premiums at the big stock shows than any other state. It is estimated that during the year 1907, Iowa's live stock yield was $208, 000,000. This is a stupendous figure, and one that is almost beyond compre hension. But it Is a fact that Iowa is the greatest cattle and hog producing state dn the union. More than that, as the years go by, the Iowa stock raiser Is producing better animals. Horses are getting better and the demand for them, w.hile slack just at present, is certain to Increase within the next few years, authorities say. In totaling Iowa's resources or yield ••as a manufacturing state, one is con fronted with a tough proposition. In manufacturing Iowa Is not up to some of her eastern neighbors as,might be expected. But at the same time, the state is making gigantic strides in the factory line, with every prospect of greater gains within the coming year. The Greater Des Moines movement, which has resulted in bringing many manufactures to Des Moines, with outlook splendid for even greater gains in 1908, cannot help but add much to Iowa's resources In a manufacturing way in the approaching twelvemonth. ROW OVER ATHLETICS. Expected Split Occurs in State High School Association. Des Moines, Jan. 2.—Teachers of Iowa represented, in the State High School Athletic association, indulged in an undignified row late yesterday aft ernoon. This was brought about by charges preferred before the assembly by Ida, Grove against Sioux City. So intensely aroused did these school teachers of Iowa become that they clyered their favorlties and hissed their opponents at different times during the verbal struggle, which lasted for an hour and was terminated only by the declara tion of the chairman that the meeting was adjourned. And the end came at the most dramatic point, when the star witness for Ida Grove was in the mfdst of his charge against. Sioux City ami its principal, It. S. Whitley. The business of the association was soon accomplished, and then the mem bers settled themselves back for a tight which they seemed to want'and which they had. The place of holding the state meet was not decided, /but the Invitation which was extended by the Des Moines high schools to have the next meet In Des Moines was not allowed to come to a vote, the supporters of the Iowa City meet having the upper hand in the as sociation. M. M. Beddail and II. H Crone were elected by the association to (ill the places to which they had formerly been appointed. A minor change was made In the rules of the association, and the'n came the light- At first It seomed as tho there would be no fight, it. B. Crone, the chair man of the association, set his foot down hard on the proposition made by Superintendent Hagler of Ida Drove, to set the matter as he saw it before the association. It took an appeal from the decision of the chair and a mo tion to allow Mr. Hagler to present the matter before he could get the floor. The motion to permit him to speak was carried amid great ap plause. And then started the trouble which bids fair to separate the stale high school association into two parts. There are many ruffled feathers and Injured .persons, and It will tako a long time for the association to re cover from the blow which It received at Its own hands yesterday afternoon. There are many who are saying that the state high school association is a thing of the past. Cleot-rield Items. Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Jan. 2.—That Secretary Shaw is coming back to Iowa In the hope of getting tho state to warm up to him as a presidential candidate, no one versed in the politicks of the times has any doubt. But politicians are somewhat on tho qui vlve of antici pation to know just what form th* public expression will take. Secretary £liaw addresses the alumni of Cornell College tonight and the Des Moines Bankers' Club tomorrow night. It Is recalled that a number of times in the past Shaw has made excursions Into the political sentiment of Iowa to see just how the lpnd lay, and it has not always laid light. Just before the republican convention last year Shaw was brought back by the standpatters to help stem the tide against Cum mins, and he argued in the lobby of the Savery, "not for publication," that the good of the nation demanded ,the de feat of Cummins—and the convention proceeded to nominate Cummins and the state to elect him. On March 2o (a suggestive date) Shaw came to Iowa and made a speech before the Polk County Republican Club, in which he devoted almost his entire address to arguing against the enactment of a primary election law. Among other things that night he said STATE AID ENDORSED. Iowa Teacshers Adopt Council's High School Plan. Des Mollies, Jan. 2.—Rather than have the state provide agricultural high schools, as is now proposed, the executive council of the state teachers association will ask that all high schools of second and third class be given state aid with power to add an agricultural department if it is de sired. A resolution to this effect was sub mitted yesterday morning to the open meeting of the executive council at the Plymouth Congregational church by Superintendent C. McCracken and was unanimously indorsed. The resolution is important at this time and reads: Deeming that it is Important to se cure state aid for the high schools of Iowa, be it "Resolved, That this council believes that the money proposed for agricul tural high schools could be better ex pended if devoted to use of many high schools already established all over the state. Any community deserving a course of agriculture could then use Its state aid in that direction within the reach of all rather than a few whose finances and circumstances make it possible to attend the pro posed agricultural schools which will necessarily- remove them from their homes." The executive council asks for a state board of control for high schools to conform with other state boards of control. It does not flx the number to be placed on that board by the governor, but does stipulate in part what the duties of the board sliall be. This board shall have supervision over the high schools and give $800 or less to the schools which could be bene fitted, providing that no tuition was received from rural students. The high school must do four years' work and prepare students to enter some college course. Teacher.s must have collegiate education and no less than three teachers shall be employed. To, meet the expenses of the board and state aid a levy of one mill on the taxable property of the state is asked to be made. \,T,his law Is asked not to th,e .y5llai«ch^hiti^Ch!r flTarshattfcouw January in NO! and schools until after l!i09. The board is to serve without compensation but the nece.ssary expenses of the board shall be paid in the same manner as those of state officers. Tho executive council yesterday mor ning Indorsed the present certificate law anil advised that the examination law be adhered to in principle with such amendments and details perfect ed as the need is shown .by the edu cational commission. Tho council also believes that the plan of religious instruction should re ceive careful consideration, it. would ask that the Iowa schools do more to train and develop the moral and religious nature of the pupil. The rec ommendations of the committee on this matter were indorsed but no final action taken. In the report of t.ho commlttde on comparison of the school systems of Canada and Iowa the committee gave Ontario as the more nearly perfect system of education and based its recommendation upon its Investiga tions.. LAST ACT CLEARS JAP PROBLEM Tokio Government Expects Brighter Auspices for the New Year. Tokio, Jan. 1.—The dispatch of the memorandum on the emigration ques tion by the foreign office to the Amer ican embassy was the last official act of tho Japanese government In the year 1U07. This is considered to be significant of a desire of the govern ment to begin the year 1908 under bet ter auspices. In fact this has been ad mitted by an official of tho Japanese government to the Associated Press, lie said: "We have every reason to believe that the details of our administration and control of the emigration ques tion will be satisfactory to the Amer ican government. "President Roosevelt wanted Japan to act promptly, and our memorandum Is the result of much careful work and investigation. "While doubtless some changes will be made before the matter is finally disposed of, we are of the opinion that the last official act of 1907 will make the dawn of 1908 brighter in both countries." AmoiiK ocuei uuii£s niui nie1'"- "I have never believed In a statewide in perfecting plans for the future re prlmary for the nomination of state strictlon of emigratlon thus eM t )y avoiding a possibility ot friction over the qquestion. officers,"11' which Idea the people repudi ated by electing a progressive legis lature, which enacted a stringent "statewide primary election law." It will be remembered furthermore that on innumerable occasions Mr. Shaw has used all his Yankee' Inge nuity to persuade the people of Iowa against the Cumnilnd idea of tariff revision, all of which has be6n fol lowed by the people breaking all pre cedent and re-electing Cummins for a third term as governor. The secretary even canceled a date at Syracuse, N. Y., and some other dates, in order to hurry to Iowa, for the third time dur ing the 1906 campaign, to speak against Cummins at Davenport, June ]3, and at that tlmd ho argued with the republicans again that factjonal fights within the party ranks would mean the success of the democratic ticket and the republican prlniafles ol!^ Scott county the next day instructed for Governor Cummins. Iowa has so many times acted in re gard to Shaw and what he advocates that politicians have no doubt as to the outcome, but are speculating consid erably on the manner and form of the expression of the public mind. Ac cording to many of the standpat news papers and most of the progressive pa pers, Shaw came into the office of governor of Iowa largely as an. un known quantity, with the state at largo ignorant of what he stood for. He was given the customary four years, during which tiirJe he took stock in the National Life Trust Company, a wild-cat insurance con cern, which has since been forced out of business, in consideration of the use of his name as a director of the com pany. Since that time politicians can remember of no instance in which Shaw has urged Iowa to do anything in which the state has accepted his ad vice. Now he is coming to the state and according to standpat newspapers friendly to him he is about to launch a boom for president. Whttt/Will Iowa do? The government late last evening handed to Ambassador O'Brien a mem orandum containing a reply to the suggestions ottered by the United States government several weeks ago. whereby the American government sought a friendly way to assist Japan While the contents of the memoran dum are carefully guarded both at the Japanese foreign office and American embassy, there is reason to believe that the memorandum is couched in the most friendly terms and that while it accepts some of the American sugges tions It declines others as incompatible \iith the dignity of Japan and outlines plans for further restriction of emi gration to America. The memorandum has been cabled to Washington, from which it is pos sible a counter suggestion will be forthcoming, but it Is intimated that Japan thinks that the memorandum will form the basis whereon the two countries will be able to reach a final and satisfactory understanding. SCHEME TO ELIMINATE PULL Improvements Bureau Next to B* Add ed to the Government. Washington, Jan. 2.—The next de partment or bureau to be added to the government under the direction of a cabinet official will be the department or bureau of internal improvements, if certain members of congress who have started agitation on the subject carry out their designs. Representative Bartholdt of Missou ri, chairman of the house committee on public buildings and grounds, has taken he Initiative in the matter. It is contended that the present manner of dealing with Internal improvements Is archaic, unsystematic, uneconomical and generally unsatisfactory. River and harbor and public build ing improvements have depended vm. largely upon two things, t.he log-rolling which and pu 1908 exerted by certain members of congress and cllcjues and the crumbs left after the regular fixed items of an nual appropriations have been provid- Every other great government in the world, It Is pointed out, gives system atic attention to works of Internal Im provement, with results that show up wonderfully in comparison with con ditions in the United States. In the near course of events it would not be at all surprising if a positive reform should be inaugurated with re gard to the matter in question.

Special to Times-Republican. Keokuk, Jan. 2.—The disappearance ot Dr. George W. Jones is still keenly exciting the interest and anxiety of Keokuk, where the doctor Is so well 1 known and highly respected. That ho will be found and that soon Is devout ly hoped for. As 'usual In cases of mysterious disappearances street gos sip and rumors are rife, suppositions plentiful and conclusions multitudin ous but these do not bring relief to anxious relatives (rather bring added soFrow) or find the missing man. Something serious has happened to Dr. George \V. Jones or ho would re turn to the home he liked so well, to the mother he loved, and to the ex tensive practice that lie created thru years of hard toll und by virtue of his exceptional ability. Just what has happened to this1 prominent and well-llked citizen and professional man is Indeed mysterious and everything possible Is being done to locate lilni. Dr. Jones left Keokuk one week ago last evening to make a professional visit at Fairfield. He never reached his destination. He was last seen lnr Burlington, Thurs day afternoon, by the young man who has charge of the check room at the "Burlington" station. Since that time no one has been found who has s^en the doctor. 1 It is hoped that Dr. Jones has not met with foul play and it is also hoped that If he Is temporary unmindful of Wis actions that he will soon be located and returned to relatives and friends who would gladly minister to his wants and necessities. The clue of yesterday afternoon, turned out to be a false one as was In timated in these columns, the Dr. Jones who was at Cedar Rapids being Dr. A. McKay Jones of Des Moines, and the little ray of hope which had teen held out by the news from Cedar Rapids, was dispelled late in tho afternoon. When he left Keokuk Monday night, he Joked and talked at the depot the same as usual and was rational at Burlington when in company with Charles Pickens. A reward of $300 has been offered for information which will lead to the recovery of thq man, or his 'body and hundreds of cards bearing his photo graph and description have been sent out. A number of these cards were sent out last evening Vvith a $25 re ward announced, but this morning af tei* the fruitless search in Burlington of last evening, the reward was In creased to $300.

Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 2.—The Bell Telephone company, has disposed of all its property, privileges and holdings In this province to the government of Manitoba for $3,300,000. This sum is payable in forty years in 4 per cent government bonds at par. The prov ince has also purchased $100,000 worth of construction material and will take over the plant on Jan. 15. The cabinet proposes for the present to operate the system by an indepen dent commission, on the lines outlined by R. L. Borden In an address deliv ered by him in the west on government ownership of telephones and tele graphs. As regards the staff, nothing has been decided so far as the govern ment is concerned. O. B. French, provincial government telephone expert, made the valuation of $3,300,000 for the Manitoba hold ings, and the deal was made on his report. The company Is now passing thru one of the quietest times it has ex perienced in this province. The em ployes number only 700, whereas, in the busy summer, nearly 2,000 persons are employed. This difference is due to the fact that but little expansion is being done at the present time. Lines are being put up only where new subscribers are coming in from points where no line heretofore ex isted. In Winnipeg 350 persons are work ing for the company. Of this num ber, about fifty are employed as line men, twenty-five as office assistants, 225 at local centrals, and thirty girls to look after long1 distance ca.lls. In summer months from 150 to 200 men are kept working on the lines, while the number of "centrals" then runs to about 600.

Interest Paid On 8avinga Account*. ^National Vault Jeft McCoy's Lite One Long Tragedy, From Which Soli tude is Escape ONCE AN INMATE OF ASYLUM Civil War Veteran, Adjudged .More Insane Than He Really Was, Made His Escape Twenty-three Years Ago, and Since Then Has Lived in a Dugout in the Forest, Near Jef ferson. Special to Times-Kopublioan. Jefferson, Jan. 2.—Down near the Coon river, in the dense forest, Jeff. McCoy, a soldier of the civil war, lives alone. Many people in this community have probably often wondered why a man living in the center of a civilized country would take, himself far from friends and loved ones, and for twen ty-three years hide away and endeavor to forget the world as he has done. The pathway leading to his dugout takes one thru a tangled mass of for est, and winds around high bluffs, into deep ravines and over hills from the top of which one can see hundreds of feet below. A small house has been erected by McCoy, in which he keeps his store of bee-hives, and the place where he lives and sleeps consists of a hole dug in the ground, over which a few boards have been laid, and for a roof dirt has been packed overhead. An old tumble-down bed, the bed clothes dirty and soiled, cover him at night. An old stove long ago practically useless, Is crowded into one corner, and boxes and trash lay tumble^ in all kinds of shape abou^ the cave. Not far from the cave the river rushes and roars over a waterfall, and as one stands near listening to the noises of the forest, it is little wonder that the man who has lived here for so many years has forgotten that there really is a great wide world beyond. Forty-three yliars ago, at the close of the civil war, McCoy came home, having been discharged from the army on account of disability, a little feeble in mind, and broken down in health. His people lived at that time not far from Jefferson upon a farm, and were then well-to-do. McCoy made his home with them and for several months worked upon the farm. But people be gan to talk about him. They suspect ed that his mind was even worse than It really was. The young boys ridi culed him Upon the streets when he came to town, and life became mis erable to him. One night Jeff made up his mind to leave, so, packing up a few clothes, he started cross country for Des Moines. At Des Moines he was arrested when trying to get work, and after being held in jail for several weeks he was adjudged Insane and sent to the asylum at Clarinda. The terrible stories told of the suffering which McCoy endured while at the hospital are pitiful in the extreme. He believed that he had been wrongly Judged, and aside perhaps from a slight mental difficulty, McCoy was never in sane. He tells of the beatings and tor ture that his jailers inflicted upon him, and of the long sleepless nights Ih which he reviewed his life and thought bitterly of his unfortunate existence. Many months flew by and McCoy watched for a chance to escape. One night the opportunity came, and he stole into the timber, where he kept himself in hiding for weeks, living up on berries. McCoy traveled at night. His only desire was to get back to his home. T„he officers were hot upon his trail, and many times he was almost taken. Three months after his escape from the asylum he made his way to Jef ferson. He hid in the home of James May, an old friend, who sheltered and fed him for many months. But Mc Coy was ever on the alert for the officers. Every town and hamlet in the country was on the lookout for the escaped\ maniac. But McCoy stayed hid in his friends home and no trace of him was found. But McCoy longed to be alone and havd a home of his own. Under cover of the night he stole away to the timber and with the exception of coming to town once a month he has lived,) trapping' In the winter time and Ashing in the summer. McCoy is past 70 years of age. His outdoor life has made him strong and robust. He draws a large pension from the government, and the officers, who know of his whereabouts, say nothing, and in all probability he will be left alone the rest of his life. Wi.i i' PEATH IN RESERVOIR. Albia Lad Skated on Thin Ice and Wfit Drowned. Special to Times-Republican. Albia, Jan. 2.—While skating with three schoolmates on the large res ervoir of the Smoky Hollow Coal com pany at Hynes, seven miles east of here, the ice gave way, and Sammie Lloyd, aged 12 years, was drowned. All were precipitated Into the water. Men came to their assistance and suc ceeded in getting two of the boys from the water, but the Lloyd child sank as soon as the ice gave way and never came to the surface. The body was recovered some hours later. -APLINGTON CHURCH FIRE. Damage to Presbyterian Structure Will Be Repaired at Once. Special to Times-Republican. Apllngton, Jan.. 2.—Considerable ex citement was manifested here yester day afternoon about 1:30 o'clock, when it was learned that the Presbyterian church was on fire. A fire had been started in the furnace, in preparation for a meeting to be held about 2 o'clock and a little later it was noticed that the church was on fire. The bucket brigade worked their hardest, and it looked for a time as If it would be saved, wthen the roof caught and they then renewed their efforts, using fire extinguishers and water. They soon got it under control. If there had been a thigh wind nothing could have saved the church, nor s#me of the nearby houses, and as it was, it was a close call. The church is insured ih the German Insurance company, and will be repaired as soon as possible. KILLED HUNTING RABBITS. E. Wagenaar, o^^tfange City, Victim of His rWh Carelessness. Special to publican Orange Jan. 2.—While out hunt ing-. K. Wagenaar. adopted son of E. Dykstra, accidentally shot and killed himself. He saw a rabbit, and hastily pulling the gun from out of the buggy the trigger caught and discharged the gun. The whole load of shot was emptied into his lungs and death re sulted within a few minutes. The Grinnell ewt Special to Times-Kepubllcan. Grinnell. Jan. 2.—At the hall of Grin nell Lodge No. 358, I. O. O. F., on next Wednesday evening. January Sth, Dis trict Deputy Grand Master C. G. Adams, of Montezuma, will Install the following officers: Noble grand, George •Castner vice grand, C. K. Rich: re cording secretary, Samuel Nelson financial secretary, H. Kingdon: treasurer, F. P. Marvin. The lodge has had a very prosperous year and starts out or* the 1908 trip with good pros pects. Today is the "Annual Church Day" of the Baptists of this city. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon there will be the annual roll call and the election of the officers of the church for the ensuing year. After the supper pre pared by the ladies of the church has been disposed of, the evening will be spent in hearing the reports from the different organizations and in outlin ing plans for the coming year of church work. B. J. Carney is planning to take a much needed rest from the busi ness cares that have engrossed his at tention for so many years, and to re cuperate his health by extensive trav el. It is understood that he will go thru the south and to Cifba before returning home, taking along his eld est son for a traveling companion and for the education the young man will gain from travel. The readers of the T.-R. have been greatly pleased for many months with the regularity with which the paper has reached thentv in the early even ing. The train service as a rule has been all that could be asked, but for the past two evenings the trains have been way off in arrival and it has been difficult to get the papers to the sub scribers in time for their evening read ing. One of the Juvenile carriers was fortunate enough to have an obliging father with a horse and buggy who took him late at night to all the houses he had to serve. The new organ for the Herrick chapel is said to be larger than the $10,000 one recently placed in the Con gregational church and of a quality unexceptionable. The opportunity to get such a rare bargain in an Instru ment so badly needed has aroused the enthusiasm of the women"s clubs of the. city, as well as that of some other people, and they feel confident that the means will ibe soon forthcoming to make the required payment. A statement in these columns re cently that Mrs. Verbeck, wfto has passed her 97th birthday, was the old est inhabitant, would better be modi fied, probably by saying oldest white person in the city. Mumford Holland, generally known simply as "Mumford," seems quite certain to be more than a hundred years old from the events that he can remember and recite. He Is still active and may be seen almost any day upon the streets here with his horse and wagon, gathering garbage for the swine that he raises for the market. He seems to have all his fac ulties and talks about "possum" with as much unction as the kipg of the possum cookers who gives his annual possum feast to the state officials at Des Moines. He was a slave In the south before the war, a body servant to one of the officers in the war, and seems to have lived in this vicinity ev er since.^ The funeral of Mrs. Martha Brown, aged 76, took place yesterday from the Congregational church here. She was one of the early settlers, had lived for a long time about a mile and a half northeast of the city, and had many friends in the city as well as in the imme taeidcmfwy wehn the man the immediate vicinity of her residence. Her five sons helped to bear the casket with the body to its final earthly rest ing place in Hazelwood cemetery. An Insidious Danger. One of the worst features of kidney trouble is that it is an insidious dis ease and before the victim realizes his danger he may have a fatal malady. Take Foley's Kidney Cure at the first sign of trouble as it corrects Irregu larities and prevents Bright's disease and diabetes. McBride Will Drug Co. "He has a motor car tongue." "What do you mean?"

Shenandoah. Rev. G. P. 'Mitchell, of Galva, 111., preacihed for the Baptist church last Sunday and on Monday evening a bus iness meeting was called at which he received an unanimous call to come as pastor of the churdh.

Monday morning, shortly before 8 o'clock occurred the death of Arthur Manning Stephens, of Melrose, la. who was brought to this city several weeks ago to be treated for tuberculo I sis. Almost instantaneously at Mt. pleasant occurred the death of Mrs. Arthur Stephens, a mother of the de ceased boy. The death of mother and son in the same day, and almost at the same hour, is a blow to the many members of the family. Grinnell.

GENEROSITY AT DIKE, Minister and Merchants Liberal in Their Distribution of Treats, Etc. Special' to Tlmes-nepuDlican. Dike, Jan. 2.—Generosity Is one of the characteristics of the Dike people. In addition to a Christmas card given to each citizen by the minister, and the Christinas tree being loaded with pres ents and a sack of candy, nuts and oralfees for every one present, H. L. Hennlngsen Son gave away 400 pails of candy to children under ten years of age, and Mrs. Hoffman gave away 100 bottles of pop.

Assets, (Harper's Wedkly.) There is a young fellow in Pittsburg who will Undoubtedly "get along," altho as yet, he has not succeeded In amass ing vast wealth. In fact, he receives a weekly wage of $15. He is, how ever, an extremely good looking and entertaining young man, and not long ago succeeded In making such an Im pression upon the daughter of a well to-do manufacturer that it was decid ed between them that he "should ask papa." This he proceeded to do, and. to his surprise, was received not un kindly. "Well, let's see, my boy," the old man remarked, pushing up his glasses. "What Is your annual income'.'" "Well, sir, I should estimate it at $2,000," the young man replied. "Well—not so bad, not so bad," the old man said. "That, added to her in terest at 4 per cen't on the $50,000 I have always said I would settle upon Mary at her marriage, would give you $4,000. You_ should be able to get along." "Well, sir, to tell the truth," the young man interrupted, "I took the lib erty of figuring that interest into my estimate." .v Conspicuous Economy. Willie Hoppe, the billiard champion, was talking in New York about the conspicuous retrenchments that the money panic has caused many million aires to make. "It is conspicuous, this economy we see on all sides now," said Mr. Hoppa. "It is like the economy in the family of Jim Barthelomew, the pool player. Bartholomew's two boys turned up at school one morning dressed exactly alike in suits of very bright green cloth. It was a startling costume, and at first the neighbors were puzzled. All was clear to them, tho, when they learned that Jim, the week before, had slit the cloth in a pool game at Mike Hennessey's." A Card.

Special to Times-Republican. Ames, Jan. 2. Fully 560 studeiits were enrolled at the short course at the Iowa State college by noon today.

JAll the available space given to the association for the corn exhibits has been tilled and the work shops in the farm mechanics depart ment are being used to take care of the overflow. Already the number of samples entered for this show is the greatest for any corn exhibit ever held with tihe exception of the national corn show at Chicago, last October. There are about eighty exhibits of fifty ear samples and the competition la these classes will be the keenest in years. Amateur classes are given a place this year and the exhibitors who have never shown before are thus given a chance for prizes. largest number of entries come from the southwestern section .of the state. Reld's yellow dent has the strongest representation, tho it is closely pressed by Boone County White and Legal Tender. The preliminary placing be gan today and is in charge of Paul C. Taff, of Panofa, Iowa. The final awards will be placed by Professor Holden, who is generally considered the best corn judge In the world. The quality of the exhibits Is exceptional for such a poor corn year as this Is conceded to be. Corn breeders thru out the state are thronging about the exhibit speculating as to where the choice prizes will go. With such tin usually large classes and good qual ity there is sure to be intense rival ry for the high positions. In the animal husbandry depart ment work on sheep was continued. The college flocks of Southdowns and .Shropshires were used in tihe judg ing classes. This finished the iyork with sheep and the afternoon was taken up with the lantern slides on the different ibreeds of dairy cattle. V. Battle's champion Aberdeen Angus herd arrived and will' be used for class work during the latter part of the week. The phenomenal show ring record of this herd during the past season has been the sensation of the year and the short course stu dents are especially fortunate in se curing suoh exceptional animals- of this breed to work upon.

J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick *)ifUding, New ,York, N. Y. SOME PHASES OF PRIZE FIGHTING. To most readers of daily newspapers what seems a manifest inconsistency between the news and editorial col umns, appears when a Journal opposed to prize fighting, and insistent upon the use of troops if .needed to prevent a ring battle ,in Iowa, pays telegraph •tolls across a continent for a descrip tion by rounds of a fight between mid­ dle or lower class pugilists. The gory battle, if it attains to that degree of pugilistic interest and prominence is described in minutiae. The blows are counted, a drop of blood noted, faces drawn with pain or deformed by beat ing, are graphipally depicted. And in the same issue perhaps a demand is made upon the authorities of'the state to suppress prize lighting with an iron hand' It isn't, however, as inconsistent as It appears. The first province of a newspaper, is to give the news, to hold a mirror up to catch the reflection of the passing throng—and the prize fight, is an event to certain persons and classes of men. Newspapers print much that they would prefer not to print. With the,, better general under standing as to what constitutes news and the broader sense of responsibility that is coming to newspapers, much that was once news is c|st aside to day as unfit br Inexpedient for pub li cation. Time was when a public ex ecution was painte^ in colors and. gruesome and horrifying details of leg alized slaughter made clear, and evi dent to the horror of normal readers and the delectation of the morbid. Analysis of the demand for the news of a prize fight discloses the same im pulse that takes "men to the ring side. The same demand that the fight pro moter busies himself to supply is in the call tor the "fight by rounds." The same market makes the sale of fight films and their exhibition profitable. The actual fight with the hard breath* ing of the contestants, the patter of shifting feet, the thud of blows and the crimson trickle that follows a suc cessfully planted stroke is exciting the films are a little tamer, they lack ictuality the newspaper account tamer still, it lacks both sound, and action, but all are more distinctive tVinn different, belong in the same cate gtry and may be groupei under one demand. There is a demand for the real tiling in Davenport as there* is for midnight saloons, but the demand is a first cousin to that upon the news papers and it is supplied i!or the profit in it as the newspaper supplies the telegraph accoimt for the profit there Is in It The law saW prize fights and films of prize fights shall not be exhibited in Iowa. /Perhaps It would not be out side the province of similarly wise leg islation if a step farther were taken and the' "fight by rounds" debarred from publication. If one Is worse the other is bad. -J s. THE RAILROAD BUSINESS OF THE U. S. The Railroad Gazette, an authority railroads and railroad development, authority loir the statement that the ilroads have cancelled few orders for !w material. It is true -that few new C•assumetroubles, Hers have been placed on account of financial situation. It Is reasonable that wi,th' the settlement of j^ncial activity will begin a!"5iin in railroad construction and im provement The corn and wheat will continue to bring forth harvests to be transported and the live stock center on jhe packing, houses and the roads must carry them. The railroad busi ness of this, country is too big to re trograde: It is a stupendous Industry. It* is estimated' that the railroads of this country and of Canada have spent this year $477,000,000 for new rolilng stock and locomotive power. This expendi ture represents an addition to their equipment of 284,183 freight cars, 5, 457 passenger cars, and 7,362 locomo tives. These figures do not include cars and locomotives built in railroad shops. The year 1907 «sstablished a new record for. the railroads as re gards the improvement and enlarge ment of' their facilities for transporting freight and passengers. In respect to new mileage the figures for 1907 fall below those of 1906. In the latter year conditions were unusually favorable, and 5,623 miles of new rail road lines were built iti the United States. The total new mileage In 1907 is 5,220 miles, about. 8 per cent less than in the preceding year. Consider ing adverse conditions, jthe reduction in new mileage is neither surprising nor discouraging. The receivership' record o'f 1907 shows the smallest mileage since 1903. Only 349 miles of railroad went into the hands of receivers, while in 1906 .•57 miles of road suffered receivership. 1 The most important railroad which was placed1 In the hands of receivers .....r v.. this year was less than 100 miles long. The total of the securities, loans and stocks of the foreclosed railroads is given as less than $9,000,000. The fore closure sales this year involved six railroads, with a mileage of 175 miles and having bonded indebtedness of $6, 600,000. The amount realized from the sales was $3,131,000. The value of the railroad property of the United States is estimated between $12,000,000,000 and $15,000,000,000. The mileage of railroads in this country ex ceeds that of the combined railroads of Great Britain and Continental Europe. The Industry is one of vast magnitude. It gn'es employment to hundreds of thousands of men—to an army of skilled workers arid to a multitude of laborers. Furthermore, the. expendi tures of the railroads, for cars and lo comotives and rails are potent factors In the prosperity of other industries. WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THE MONEY? Here is a news dispatch that means something: Omaha, Jan. 1.—The Northwestern railroad has gone dry. Twenty-five thousand employes of that system took their last drink yesterday, for today the pledge that has been circulated for signature during the last month will go Into effect. A large majority of t)he employes of the entire system will be teetotalers. Not content with this, the leaders of the movement hope soon to have every man employed from end to end of the 7,000 miles of road a signer of the pledge. The temper ance movement of the Northwestern line Is the result "of a plain, economic business" principle. It is voluntary on the part of the men. The road was discriminating against drinking men. A city of 175,000 population with out a market for liquor would be pe culiar among cities. Imagine a com munity as large as the cities of Des Moines, Davenport and Marshalltown consolidated, Without a drunken man, a drinker or a demand for liquor as a beverage? That Is what the 25,000 wage workers who signed the North western's pledg^ would amount to. Im agine the Kind of a place that would be to do business In. Based on the proportion of some Iowa towns such a city could support 200 saloons at a cost of $3,000,000 a year in its tax upbn the Incomes of the community. In this new city if all keep their pledge, ttyese millions would be diverted to legitimate purchase. It would distribute as much money among the merchants as a factory employing 5,000 $2 a day hands. To illustrate: This $3,000,000 which a city founded upon the wages of 25,000 workmen would put over the bar of 200 saloons If circulated among the legitimate lines of trade, would be worth more to the retail merchants than three times the entire pay roll of Marshalltown' nine largest factories with the eluded. Iowa Central's 550 men ,ln vife V'-^V-v Speaking of the enormity of the sa loon tax upon legitimate business, a prominent manufacturer in Marshall town has volunteered the statement that he could double the population of his city lr eight years if given the power to invest in manufacturing, the money paid over the bars of twenty two saloons each year for eight years or he will build and equip an interur ban line to Grund.y Center the first two years, a line to Tama and Toledo the next two years, a line halt way to Des Moines the next two years, a llns paralelllng the Story City branch thes next two years, the next two, one to Grinnell the next two and one to Ames in two more or all of these lines built and paid for and equipped with power houses and cars in twelve years out of. the booze bill of the city's present population.

"The publication of the Torbert let ter has disclosed one thing that Allison and ihis friends were unwilling to trust the Issue with the people," points out the Northwood Anchor, and observes "If after thirty-six years of service Senator Allison has so little grounded himself Jn public confidence as to find It necessary to secretly strangle oppo sition candidates in advance, it is time ihe quit."

Byers vis ited Davenport Sunday «nd made tho declaration that the mulct law will be enforced thruout all parts of the state alike, but slnoe his department has been devoting overtime to Daven port and .neglecting some flagrant vio lations of the law In Des Moines «of which he must have personal knowl edge, It is not out of place to ask Mr. Byers some pointed questions. Why, Mr. Byers, do you let the Elks' club of Des Moines, of which It Is un derstood you are a member, sell liquor at all hours? Why, If the Davenport Commercial club has to pay the mulct tax, does not the Des Moines Elks' club have to pay the mulct tax? If the Davenport Turner society has to pay the mulct tax and close Its place in conformity with tho mulct law regulations, why is it, Mr. Byers, that the Des Moines Turner society pays no mulct tax and sells liquor to members at all hours? If the Davenport Commercial club has to observe the provisions of the mulct law, why Is it that you, Mr. By ers, allow the Commercial club at Du buque to operate without paying the mulct tax? Why Is It that. If you Insist upon Davenport saloons closing at 10 o'clock, you allow the Burlington and Dubuque saloons to close at 11 o'clock? Why Is it. Mr. Byers, that you allow as many as thirty drug stores in Des Moines to sell liquor contrary to their permits, at all hours of the night or day, when even the Register and Leader editorially, has called attention to the fact? That liquor is illegally sold by Des Moines drug stores Is a matter concerning which there Is no doubt. Then why do you not put a stop to It? How does It happen that represen tatives of your office have been som* only to Davenport while as a matter of common knowledge the liquor law3 are violated at Council Bluffs by clubs for I and saloons, at Sioux City, Dubuque, Burlington. Clinton, and Cedar Rap ids?. Did you ever send representa tives of your office out into Des Moines to ascertain whether the law Is being violated there, or ever write let ters to the Polk county attorney con cerning the law enforcement? Why Is It that you have made ad dresses on law enforcement only at Burlington and Davenport? You say that tihere are complaints from twelve counties, but have you advertised the other eleven counties as you have ad vertised Scott? How does ft happen, Mr. Byers, that when you were invited to Davenport to make an address on law enforce ment many of those who heard you went away with the Impression that you were Inaugurating a campaign for the governorship? Your address so Impressed many here Sunday. Can it be possible .that you, too, ha\e joined In the game of playing to the galleries—making your appeal to the "dry" counties without doing anything at the same time to enforce laws in other places where some support might be expected, but where the liquor laws are violated? If you are sincere in endeavoring to enforce the laws thruout the whole state, if Scwtt county is being impar tially treated, why is it that you dp not at once take steps to secure exact observance of the law in Des Moines and other places? Understand, please, thai Davenport is not objecting to the enforcement of the laws provided every other county '.in the state is made to observe the laws in all their details in the same way: but Davenport and Scott county do object to being picked out from among a dozen counties and being ad versely advertised thruout the whole state in order that some politrclans I may make capital out of a campaign of "law enforcement" Which Is neither sincere nor general. When the attor ney general of Iowa enforces the law on clubs. Turner societies, drug stores and saloons, in other parts of the state and particularly in Des Moines, where violations are flagrant, the peo ple of Scott county will, concede that the campaign for law enforcement Is based upon an hdnest -conviction and is not begun for the mere advance ment of politicians. Our Pacific Armada. (Baltimore Sun) The "Invincible Armada, indeed, ex ceeded this armada in the number of vessels and the number of men. There were 131 vessels in the Spanish ar mada, as against forty-three In this American fleet after the reunion on the other coast, and the number of men who will start out under Admiral Evans' command is .less than 15,000, as compared with 27,000 sailors and soldiers under the Spanish command er. But the machinery of a modern battle ship signifies the lighting ca- pac votes cast, and the plan of the Amer- jy_ Captain Bradley A. Fiske, of the ican Bankers was second, having been favored by 29 per cent of those bal loting. The Shaw, Treat, Chamber of Commerce and Fowler plans followed in the order named, and, combined, did not equal, he vote of either of tho dominant racommendations. In addi tion, it Is worthy of mention that four teen voters rejected all plans and six teen submitted original solutions for this perplexing issue. }ty of the men on board enormous- navy, iji an article in the Naval Insti tute, estimates the strength of Ad miral Evans' fleet and its capacity for destruction, as being equal to an army of 2,000,000 men. He arrives at that startling estimate by comparing the rifles which land forces carry, with the 12-inch guns on the battle ships. An army of 100,000 Infantry carries 100, 000 rifles and If all of these rifles were discharged simultaneously the combined energy of the bullets at the muzzle would be only 7 per cent more than the energy of two 12-inch guns. Besides this the energy of a 12-inch gun is concentrated, and that of 100, 000 rifles cannot be. It is true that an army can go to places which can not me reached by a navy, but it is also true that a navy can assail places which an army could not reach. The comparison that Captain iske makes Is the lighting power of a battleship at sea with that of any army of 100,000 men on land. FROM THE ANTILLES.

C. Schroeder, M. D. V., of the department of agriculture, has published a bulletin on "The un suspected but dangerous tuberculous cow." The article deals especially with cows that have been proved to be tuberculous to a dangerous degree, but whose physical appearance, shown by the demonstration, is fully equal to that of the average dairy cow and gives no indication of dlaeaso. This work clearly demonstrates the danger to public health so long as cows which react to the tuberculin test are allowed to furnish milk or but ter for public consumption. Conclusions drawn by Dr. Schroeder are: The dangerously tuberculous cow Is an animal that may long retain the ap pearance and general semblance of perfect health. The methods we now have to detect the presence of' tuber'cle bacilli in the secretions and discharges from tuber culous cows are too "crude to give pos itive results unless the bacilli are quite numerous. While we can frequently obtain direct evidence that a tuber culous cow is dangerous, failure to obtain such evidence does not| prove that a tuberculous cow is safe. Among tuberculous dairy cows thiat retain the appearance of health and are not known to be affected until they are tested with tuberculin, 40 per cent or more actively expel tubercle bacilli from their bodies in a way dangerous to the health of other animals and persons. Dairy cows that have been affected with tuberculosis three years or more, with possibly rare exceptions, are ac tive agents for the dissemination of tubercle bacilli. The general evidence justifies the conclusion that tuberculous cows do not expel tubercle bacilli until some time after they contract the affection. The practical importance of this is that it enables us to clean herds of tuberculous cattle by the periodic ap plication of the tuberculin test and the segregation of all reacting animals. The interval of time that elapses be tween infection with tuberculosis and the dangerous expulsion of tubercle, bacilli can not serve as a reason for retaining a tuberculous cow in a dairy herd after the fact that she is tuber culous has been determined. The du ration of the Interval after Infection be fore the expulsion of bacilli begins, varies greatly with different animals, and It is rarely possible to ascertain how long a cow has been affected when her tuberculous condition Is first dis coyered. From the present as well as former investigations we know that the com The danger from the presence of tuberculosis among dairy cows is not confined to the use of milk as a bever age. When tubercle bacilli are pres ent In milk they enter the various articles of diet prepared from it, and are specially numerous in butter, in which they may remain alive seven weeks or longer without showing a diminution of virulence. The distribution of tubercle bacilli from tuberculous cattle in a way to endanger human health is not left to chance. It is a commercial, systematic distribution, from door to door, or rather from table to table. As long as the use of tuberculous dairy cows is permitted the manner in which dairy products are distributed will insure that practically every member ^of the human family Is exposed to tubercu losis. This may explain why three European investigators from post-mortem examinations of respec tively 1,452, 500, and 100 bodies of persons who died from various causes found that, among this total of 2.052 bodies, no less than 91 per cent showed lesions of tuberculosis. While the danger to which public health is exposed thru the use of milk from tuberculosis cows is of a magnitude almost beyond conception. It Is unfortunately only one among many dangers to which persons are exposed thru the use of impure, infected, and dirty milk. SHI Ji" farararg 2 Id03 FROLIC? FIGHT OR The1 Strawpile monest way for tubercle bacilli to pass Whooping cough is not dangerous when from the bodies of tuberculous cows: this remedy is given as directed. It is with their feces. This fact, together contains no opium or other harmful with the common presence of tuber- drugs, and may be given as confidently culosls among dairy cows and the fre quency with which cow feces are found in the milk that reaches the con sumer, is clear evidence that a con siderable proportion of our dairy prod ucts are Infected with tubercle bacilli.

We have no right to shirk this obligation, and would have no Inclination to shirk or ignore it if we took the time and trouble to in vestigate the number of deaths, es pecially among infants, directly due to contaminated milk. Most intelligent persons who read have some knowl edge of the fact that numerous babies die from no other cause than the use of Impure milk. Unfortunately the fre quency with which milk from tuber culous cows causes tuberculosa Is not so clearly apparent, because of the insidious, chronic character of'the af fection. Our dairy herds can be cleaned of tuberculous co^s by the proper ap plication of the tuberculin test and the segregation of all reacting animals. After years of observation the tuber culin test has been found, to be a more nearly Infallible means for diagnosing tubereulosis than any we have for diagnosing other .disease .of jnen, and animals.

"He Is too clever a man and too fas* tidious to become enamored of an un sophisticated country girl," Georglana repeated confidently. "The idea Is ab surd." "He loves, adores, worships her!" Daisy affirmed. "He mad about, her. What, I ask, is more alluring to a world weary cynic than rural simplic ity?" "Rural simplicity," reasoned Geor glana, "is very weir, in its way. I think I don't underrate its value and its charm. But a highly complex men tal and spiritual organism like that of Dr. Kinross could net be at one with a simple organism like that of the girl Eunice. It stands to reason." "She was duplex or complex enough! to land her fish!" Daisy vulgarly de clared. "And to think, Georglana, how you missed your chance when you hadi him all to yourself for a whole month —for, of course, I wasn't in the way." "No doubt Dr. Kinross found my true self more quickly because of my| unconsciousness of his presence than if we had come together In 'the ordi nary way and been hampered by con ventional forms and reserves." "And maybe that's why he fell la' love with Eunice instead of you/'ftfj. "I don't follow your reasoning." "Clear as mud! He found you too superior. Prefers rural simplicity. I ask you," she demanded, with a the-! atrical wave of her hand, "why he is now, at the very beginning of the term, away from college-:-in New York or Newport or some place? Echo an swers, 'He's gone to see his girl!' Here comes your venerable young fa ther!" President Ellery, white haired and wrinkled, but vigorous, came toward them in the path, a cane in one hand, au open letter In the other. "I have a letter from Dr. Kinross." he announced, waving it before them. "Bad news! He's resigned. But wc shall not accept his resignation. We'll! give him a ye:ir off and g.?t his promise to return next fall—with his bride. He's about to be married and intends to spend a year In traveling with his wife in Europe and Asia." "The unfortunate lady's name?" in quired Daisy, for Georglana cpuld not speak. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. file Kind You Haw Always Bought Bears the Signature of &.i li.J. t.

Ji A. man is sometimes so busy waking »aooey that he neglects to take aire of wb*t he has already made.—Atchison V~' New Year's Reception at Asso ciation Building Attended By Hundreds WILL BE AN ANNUAL FEATURE Similar Reception Will Be Given Here after Each New Year's Day—Build­ ing Elaborately Decorated—Program of Amusements and Sports Fill En­ tire Afternoon—Events of the Day. A throng of people, estimated at be tween 400 and 500, attended the first formal New Year's day reception given Wednesday afternoon by the Railroad Y. M. C. A. The guests, which poured into the building between the hours of 1:30 and 4 o'clock, wer£ entertained by a continuous program of amuse ments, sports, and games. The build ing, and especially the office, which was used for receiving the guests, was elaborately decorated with the na tional colors, evergreens and Japanese lanterns. The guests, who included many la dies, were received by General Secre tary John A. Goodell, W. W. Doolittle, G. A. Turner, W. T. Smith, C. H. E. Boardrrifin, L. H. Coryell, and F. B. Garvin, representing the officers, di rector® and committees. A gallery of art and curios, repre sented by numerous articles, furnished amusement for the guests in naming the art subject from the articles dis piayed. Gymnasium Events. The gymnasium program was of some length, including, 'n addition to^ the first game of the indoor base ball league, hand ball games, a basket ball match, trick bicycle rfdlng and performances on the gymnasium equipment and swimming and diving races in the natatorium. Three hand •ball games were played, E. B. Howard and W. T. Somers winning two of the three from H. A. Henderson and Ar chie Lemmon. A corps of the gymnasium class leaders gave an excellent exhibition on the parallel bars and springboard. R. E. Smith, a professional trick bi cyclist of this city, entertained the crowd with a very clever perform ance. The local high school basket ball five defeated the Y. M. C. A- team by the score of 36 to 12. The crowd was shown to the base ment, and watched the swimming and diving contests. From 2 to 3:30 o'clock the associa tion orchestra gave an informal, pro gram, and from 4 to o'clock members of the Ladies' auxiliary served lunch eon from a booth erected in the cen ter of the lecture room. PARLAND-NEW HALL CONCERT. Extra Y. M. C. A. Course Number Proves Popular Musical Treat. The concert of the ^arland-Newhall company, given at the Methodist church Wednesday night, which was added as an extra number to the Y. M. C. A. entertainment course, proved to be the popular musical number of the winter. T.he company, consisting of four people, appearing as a male quartet, brass quartet, vocal and instrumental soloists and bell ringers, was able to supply every demand of the large aud ience. The regular proferam consisted of nine numbers, but the generosity of the performers in answering -encores lengthened it to three times that num ber. In one instance four encores were given before the audieiice was satis fied. The four gentlemen, J. Lincoln New hail, first tenor and cornet Stewart A. Smith, second tenor and French horn Willis C. Maupin, first base and cornet soloist, and Ralph H. Parland,« second bass and trombone, who com prise the company, are artists in every sense. They not only sang very well, but their brass numbers were equally good, and they rang sweet music from the bells. The most pre.tentious, and probably the most artistic number of the pro gram was "Miserere," from the prison scene of II Trovatore. This humber was arranged for the piano, cornet and French horn, male quartet and tenor solo, by Mr. Newhall. Its rendi tion was thoroughly artistic. Two de lightful quartet numbers were Poe's "Annabel Lee," with Von de Water's arrangement, and Sullivan's "The Lost Chord." A cantata called "The Grasshopper," based on the ditty of the grasshopper that sat on a sweet potato vine and was eaten by a turkey gobbler, showed the versatility of the performers in the clever manner in which it was given. Among the excellent brass quartet numbers was the "Pilgrim's Chorus" •from Wagner's opera "Tannhauser." SIEG-TWISS WEDDING. at Marshalltown Man Takes Bride Omaha on New Year's Day. The marriage of Mr. Stanley B. Sieg of this city, and Miss Ada Twiss, of Omaha, took place at noon on New Year's day at the bride's home in Om aha. The Omaha News of Wednes day evening tells of the wedding as follows: The wedding of Miss Ada Twiss, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Twiss, to Stanley B. Sieg of Marshalltown, la,, tock place at noon today at St. John's Episcopal church, the Rev. Mr. Chandler, rector of the church per forming the ceremony. "The bride wore a pretty govvi of wl.ite emb?:Jdered Swiss and instead of a weddl.tg touquet carried a w'nita prayer book. Miss Winifred Cousins, bridesmaid, was gowned in white. Lee Sieg, of Marshalltown, brother of the groom, was best man. The church service was followed by a reception at the home of the bride's parents, 2515 Parker street, which was attended by 1 1 i- 100 guests. The rooms had a trimming of red and green. "Mr. and Mrs. Sieg will reside at Des Moines, Iowa." Mr. Sieg represents the Spencer Letts Coffee Company of this city in southern Iowa territory. He is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. George L.

"The Nightingales" Company ap peared at the Odeon theater in matinee and evening performances New Year's day to two very fair-sized audi ences. Two skits called "Americans Abroad" and "Out for a Lark." in ad dition to a number of specialties grouped as an olio, made up the pro gram of both performances. The spe cialties, as a whole, were very good, and some of them were excellent. They made up the chief attraction and merit of the performances, the skits being really secondary to them. Of the spe cialties McDevltt and Kelley, eccentric dancers, were especially clever. a were also the Vedmars, an acrobatic team. The other specialty acts were Kennedy, Evans and Kennedy, come dians. and Howard and Lewis, dia logists and singers. MARRIED SIXTY-TWO YEARS. Wednesday Was Anniversary of Mar riage of Mr. and Mrs. John Dickson. Wednesday was the sixty-second anniversary of 'the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. John Dickson, 1110 West Main street, but the day was not marked by any special anniversary gathering. Last year the occasion was duly ob served by a family gathering at the Dickson home. Mr. and Mrs. Dickson were married in Green county, Penn sylvania, Jan. 1, 1846. Mr. Dickson is 89. and Mrs. Dickson 81 years of age. Both are in fairly good health. Was Forty-two Below Forty-foiir Years Ago, We can be thankful for at least one thing this early in the new year, and that is that the weather man isn't re peating the history of forty-four years ago on New Year's day. On Jan. 1, 1864, what was without doubt the coldest wave that ever swept over the entire United States, sent the mercury In most parts of Iowa down to 40 degrees below zero. In Marshalltown many thermometers registered 42, and that was generally accepted as about the correct record. Much livestock was frozen to death thruout the state. So general was the cold that at Memphis, Tenn., where severe cold weather Is seldom known the mercury went to 10 below, causing untold suffering. The civil war was then in progress. Northern troops were scattered tliruout the south. They had become acclimated in a way, to the warmer country, and when the touch of their old northern winters came upon them, many suf fered for lack of proper clothing. John Reiber, who died in this city a few years ago, was one who passed thru the experience of having both great toes frozen. Reiber was a mem ber of Company I, Eighth Iowa cav alry, which was then on scout duty in central Tennessee. Reiber was in the saddle almost the entire day, and the bitter cold resulted in the freez ing of both toes, and the amputation of one. This necessitated his discharge from the army as unflj: for further mil itary duty. W. B. Beeson. of this city, a member of the same company, was with Reiber all day, and escaped freezing only by walking beside his horse most of the time and getting the necessary exer cise to keep his blood in circulation. MARSHALLTOWN ILLUSTRATED Sentinel Says That the Hustling, Beau tiful City Surprised Many Readers. From the Iowa Falls Sentinel: The Marshalltown Times-Republican last week, with the aid of the Marshalltown Retail Merchants' Association, issued a fifty-two page illustrated supplement' entitled "Marshalltown Illustrated." Every page was chuck full of choice il lustrations and fine write-ups, which showed the prominent features of that hustling and beautiful city In a man ner that surprised many readers.

A very fortunate mischance, tunate for the theater gomg popula- tion of Marshalltown and immediate Mr. Murphy and his company played in Des Moines last evening to an ex tremely crowded house and later much to his astonishment the present con tretemps arose. It came to the ears of Mr. Busby, manager of the Odeon, who Immediately put himself in cotnmu^l cation with Mr. Murphy and induced him to till the open date at Marshall town. So tonight Marshalltown people are to have the old delight of a play by Tim Murphy and beautiful Dorothy Sherrod. two' prime favor!ties with patrons of the playhouse in Marshall town, as in every city that knows Tim Murphy. And every city of any prominence in this country knows him. It is a great opportunity and one that all will do well to take advantage of. It is only thru an accident that Mr. Murphy appears here this season as he and his company are about to open for a long engagement in New York City. The play tonight will be that in which he and Miss Sherrod have, made their most notable success, "Two Men And a Girl." It is up to the Marshalltown theater goers to justify Mr. Busby's confidence. He felt certain that his effort to sup ply a great and added attraction to the season would be met in a similar spirit by his patrpns. At large expense he secured the appearance of Mr. Mur phy, and with scarcely an opportunity to advertise it. Marshalltown should as it probably will, turn out a full house in appreciation of the great act or and a manager with pluck enough to put on at his own risk without no tice one of the greatest attractions of the American stage. "Two Men and a Girl" has been re ceived with greater enthusiasm than any other of Mr. Murphy's successes. It is his greatest play and in it he Is greatest. Those who know Murphy on the stage know what this means. With a company balanced to perfection,' led FOUND A WAY To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles. "Husband and myself both had the coffee habit and finally his stomach and kidneys got in such a bad condi tion that he was compelled to give up a good position that he had held for years. He was too sick to work. His skin was yellow, and I hardly think there was an organ in his body that was not affected. "I told him I felt sure his sickness was due to coffee and after some dis cussion he decided to give it up. "It was a struggle, because of the powerful habit. One day we heard about Postum and concluded to try it and then it was easy to leave off coffee. "His fearful headaches grew less frequent, his complexion began to clear, kidneys grew better until at last he he was a new man altogether, as a result of leaving off coffee and taking up Postum. Then I began to drink it too. "Altho I was never as bad off as my husband, I was always very nervous and never at any time very strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before I began to use Postum. Now I weigh 115 lbs. and can do as much work as anyone my size I think. "Many do not use Postum because they have not taken the trouble to make it right. 1 have successfully fooled a great many persons who have drunk it at my table. They' would remark, 'You must buy a high grade ,of coffee.' One young man who clerked in a grocery store was very enthusias tic about my "coffee." When I told him what it was, he said, 'why I've sold Postum for four years but I had no idea it was like this. Think I'll drink Postum hereafter.' Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The baby coach is universally used In Switzerland as a pushcart. A wise thing. "W'e Americans don't get the worth of our baby coaches. With us, as soon as the babe is old enough to walk, up goes the coach into the attic. It is done for. "But at this stage the career of the Swiss -coach nay be said only to be gin. A long life of usefulness lies be fore it. In rain and shine, in snow and hail, it will glide for many years stur dily up and down the steep Swiss roads, carrying anything from a young cok to a, squasihed mountaineer." in the News Finds 13 Star Flag. St.. Albans, Vt.—A most interesting relic, which may be secured for the Vermont Historical Society collection, has been discovered at Swanton Junc tion. John Billiard, while cleaning the premises on what is known as the Jed Mack farm, found an old flag, evidently dating back to the revolutionary period, nearly covered with dust and dirt, rolled up on the sill of an old barn. The ilag Is made of the tinest of homespun linen and is fifteen feet long and three feet eight inches in width. In tiie center of the banner Is a painting in oil of an eagle perched up on a rock, bearing in its talons a shield and arrows. J11 its beak it holds a pine sprig. Oner the eagle is painted the motto "Independence Forever." The word "Swanton," which appears below the fagie, apparently was added at a later date, as the lettering is in a differ ent hand from that of the motto and the colors used are not the same. The thirteen stars and thirteen stripes tend to show that it was made before Vermont, In 1791. was admitted as the fourteenth state of the Union. Thought Mule Was a Bear. Port Jervis. X. Y.—Erastus War lleld, residing on the Plank road, eight miles north of this city, was the most frightened licgro in this section last night. He was 011 his way to a neighbor's to ascertain whether he had any cure for a sick mule, and hud proceeded only a mile when he discovered that he was being followed by something. A bear had been killed in the neigh borhood a month ago, and Visions of another bear rose up before the ex cited darliey. Altho he is 75 years old and afflicted with rheumatism, he started on a keen run. The patter of feet behind him made Ei-astus wild with terror, and he fairly tlew over the ground, reaching the neighbor's house in remarkably quick time. Without asking permission he pushed open the door and, rushing in upon the startled household, yelled: "Bear!" Going 1.0 the door the neighbor found War field's mule there. The animal had followed its master out of the barn when he started for medicine^ and had run behind him all the way. Erastus does not like to hear any one ask him why he ran three miles to es cape his own mule instead of a bear. It makes him wrathful. Exhume Body to Take Picture. New York.—In order that a photo graph might be taken .of a man who had in life shunned the camera, the unusual procedure of exhuming a body twenty days after it had been buried was witnessed at Woodlawn cemetery yesterday. Henry Brown, o7 years old, a train starter at the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street "L" station, was buried Dec. 6. Immediate ly after the funeral it occurred to Mrs. Brown tihat she had no picture of her dead husband, and it so preyed upon her that she went to the Bronx health department and obtained a permit to exhume the body. Two small tents were erected about the grave, one of which was used by Mrs. Brown. In the other the photographer set up his camera and when the grave diggers had brought t'he coffin to the surface of the ground two negatives were taken. Beer Habit Finds Lost Children. Chicago.—If the father of Francis Hulebski, 5 years old. and Zigma Hu lebskl, 3. years old, had not been in the habit of taking his beer with more or less regularity the two children might never have found their home after they wandered away from it yesterday afternoon. For when the police found them at Ninety-second street and Commercial avenue at. 4:30 they could not tell what blieir names were, or who their father was, or where '.hey lived, or anything else of importance under the circumstances, excepting that their father bougiht beer at "saloon Shubin skis." "Where (Jo you live?" asked a po liceman. "I don't know," said Francis. "I don't know," said Zigma. "but papa buys his beer at Shubinski's sa loon." The city directory supplied the ad dress and that was tJhe way tliey were restored to tiheir home. Last night the father. John Huletoski, who works in the Illinois Steel company's plant, and who had decided to swear off on beer on New Year's, changed his mind about it. Blind Men's Playing Cards. "Since your father is blind, give him for Christmas a pack of these blind men's playing cards with raised pips," said the dealer. "A fine idea, isn't it, cards for the blind? Many a bridge or poker expert would not regret so much his loss of sight were it not that it deprived hiir. of his favorite game. Now the poor fellow need suffer that privation no longer. With a pack of raised cards and a trio of sightless cronies lie can put in the winter evenings beautifully. "Then shall wrap these cards up for you, sir. I'm sure your old blind father would appreciate them." Impudent Boy. "Mamma." asked Tommy, "wliat year were you and papa married?" "In the year 1896, dear," answered Mrs. Hunker. "Was that a leap year?" "1 believe it was." "Why. mamma, did you have to "Xo. I didn't, you insolent little ras cal!" interrupted his irdi^ait mother. "And I've a great mind, to spank you for thinking of it!" t-* N I-' r-..«£«M*#g Supply on Chicago Market Ex eccds Demand and Prices Are Shade Lower For Most TRADING IN CATTLE SLOW Light Receipts Sufficient for the Wants of Buyers Fair Demand for Stockers and .Feeders Inactive Sheep Market Current Quotations in Livestock Centers.

Nearly all the Improvement yester day was 011 A western packer, in Chicago look ing over the hog situation, said: "I am a bull. Circumstances justify taking that position. Look at the weights! Growers are running away from a feed bill and corn is making no yields. That tells the story. Of course we will get a big January run everywhere under existing conditions it will be logical, but after tha^ I look for spectacular advances. Lard will sell l%c over ribs before the May. option matures. This big run of pigs means a .-(hortage of lard, and it Is no longer possible to increase the output of that commodity by the adultera tion process.

(Minneapolis Journal) Former Senator Spooner of Wiscon sin is a successful hunter of big game. On one of his trips he had for his guide Bill Murray. They were out looking for bear or deer one day when Murray suddenly threw up his rifle and fired. The senator saw an animal fall heavily and called: "We've got him this time, Bill." "We?" sneered the guide. 'There's no '.we' about it. I killed him plain enough.' Quickly making their way to where their quarry lay, they found a fine specimen of Jersey calf. "We've killed somebody calf," yell ed the guide.

A magazine editor of New York was praising Rudyard Kipling. "I am glad Kipling got the Nobel prize," he said, "It will encourage him. He is in a bad way now. "You know, he is writing scarcely anything. I thought he was idle, lazy, and in London last year I took him to task. He said he knew he looked idle, but in reality he was trying hard to work only he was stuck. "He said he resembled a man who made a. bet, one summer day at the shore, that he would swim out a mile and a half to a certain buoy. The bet was accepted, the man stripped and plunged in. His friend retired to the hotel to watch Ins progress from the window. "Frori the window, with a fieldglass, the fri.-nd saw the swimmer reach the in due course, draw himself up ie^sgSea^Bssd^ -rt So far, so good. Evidently he. was rest ing, well pleased with his feat. "Some minutes passed, and the swimmer had not moved. The watcher returned to his book. But every now and then he looked up and still the swimmer sat in the same position on the buoy. "An hour, two hours, went by—still tlie swimmer remained. A white, slim figure seen against the oncoming dark, lie sat on the buoy's edge his feet dan gled in tile sea he seemed to be mus ing. "Finally It began to grow quite dark, and, thoroughly alarmed at last, the watcher got a boat and a couple of bargees, and rowed out to Ills friend. "Out there the mystery was soon ex plained. The man was stuck fast to the buoy, which had been freshly tarred that morning." Bird Liars. "The goose is a frightful liar." said the nature faker. "He quite puts me to shame." "Really?" "Really. You know how the goose, when you draw near It, hisses? Well, with that hissing sound It says. 'Scoot,' beware, I am a serpent.' Yes, from primeval times the goose lias acted this lie. The primeval goose mother, sitting on her eggs in a place of reeds and sedge, would not fly when an In truder appeared but, keeping her body concealed amid the leaves, she would stretch out her long, flexible neck and hiss wickedly. 'A snake In the grass.' the intruder would say to himself as he reireated, and 011 her eggs the goose would chuckle in a sly, contemptuous way. "The lapwing Is another liar.
