I'lfcS* Look Up Jurors" Records. ji&dioBjtiori of the iearl.v beginning of c^e, tor a® '"agreement was. reached between Dis tript Attorney Jerome luid Martp W. Littleton, chief counsel l'or the accused, that as the jurors were selected they should be put in tlie box without either side using its peremptory challenges until the entire twelve had been cho i-' sen. A Each side, has thirty peremptory challenges, making sixty all told, and this taieans that at least five juries can be selected, put in the box, and thrown out by th^ use of these challenges. The arrangement will mean more than speed, for as th» men are selected ,«nd put aside, locked In their hotel and guarded, the prospective jurymen will be subjected to careful investigation by'the detectives of the district attor ney's office, and perhaps by represen tatives of the counsel for the defense, ft will practically assure the state of safe jury, one In which absolute reliance may be had for 'a fair verdict, for wherever, there should be found grounds for suspicion against any mari chosen by either side, the per emptory challenges will remove him before the actual trial of the case be gins. •While the dull work of examining talesmen Is going on In the criminal courts building," men will be scouring the city investigating the modes of ex Istence of each and every man held prisoner as a prospective juror. Examinations Are Short. on yesterday, Justice Dowling frequently took a hand in questioning the talesmen, his interrogation usually bringing the examinations to an ab- rupt conclusion. The judge is not par tial to long arguments among counsel. His interruptions and suggestions car ry the impression of firmness, but al­ ways aire in the best of humor. Little ton ?s thorough In his examinations, prob^ Into the innermost thoughts and l^ 'iefs of the talesmen. One of the questi is asked most of the talesmen' was at the newspaper "purported" accouhvS of the previous trial they had read. Assistant District Attorney Garven occasionally relieved Jerome in con ducting the preliminary examination of talesmen. During the first two hours of the morning session sixteen talesmen had been examined, and only one conditionally accepted. During the examination of Charles C. Goss, auditor and accountant, Jerome asked for the first time during this trial: "Hace you any Ideas of your own as to a higher law or irreslstable im pulse, or anything of tlhat sort." Goss replied In the negative and was ac cepted as a provisional juror. One of the Jurors created some thing of a sensation as the afternoon session opened, toy announcing that he had lost a gold watch and chain val ued at $150, sflnce coming to court Mrs. George L. Carnegie, Thaw's sis ter came downtown in a driving rain to U| present at the afternoon sitting. Within fifteen minutes after Justice Dowliiy? had resumed Ms place on the bench, eight talesmen had been dis posed of. They all had. opinions which no evidence could change. REOPENS OLD SCANDAL.

DIAMOND DEALERS GO UNDER. Poor Holiday Trade, Due to Financial Depression, the Cause. New York, Jan. 7.—Reports of im pending difficulties .of serious propor tions in the jewelry trade, which have been current in banking circles for some days, materialized in the ap pointment of liquidating trustees to take over^the affairs of four of the largest diamond dealers In the cityi having aggregate liabilities of $4,500,- 000 and estimated assets of $6,250,000.

Co., dia mond merchants. Unsatisfactory holiday business growing out of the financial disturb ance is given as the chief reason for the embarrassment of the group. The Frankel concerns are the leading dia mond importers of the city and had imported extensively in anticipation of heavy Christmas demands. They sup ply the very expensive pieces of Jew elry to the trade—the $50,000 and $100,000 necklaces and the like.

Haskell, Oklahoma, Charges Him With -Conspiracy. T-.i': Gruthrie, Okla., Jan. 7.—Governor Charles N. Haskell was made defend ant in a suit for $42,000 begun by law yers representing Cornelius S.

Continuing, the governor charges the Illinois Steel company officials with evading court orders in refusing to produce books. He charges a conspiracy on the part of H. C. Frick and the board of man agers of the steel company. In closing the signed statement Gov ernor Haskell says: "The whole matter Is an Individual transaction growing out of a large volume of business be tween the Illinois Steel company and myself and will he tried and deter mined as a private business proposi tion, and Mr. Frick will, make a dismal failure in his efforts to use it for any other purpose."

Baltimore, Jan. 7.—In a new cerebro spinal- meningitis case brought to the attention of Johns Hospital from At lanta, the doctors in charge have again used 'with success the serum which Dr. Simon Flexner, head of the Rock efeller Institute for Medical Research, New York, recently discovered. The patient, Irving Hall, Is a young man. Before being brought to the hospital the disease had been running five weeks, and showed all the malignant symptoms which develop, suc^.as high temperature, rapid pulse ap.^rigidity of miscles. The success trial of the serum Is regardery-Tiere as a noteworthy tribute to the' value of Dr. Flexner's discovery, which has been thought by some of the profession to aid only in incipient cases.

Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Jan. 7.—A petition for a rehearing in the famous suit of .Eliz abeth Wood vs. the Brotherhood of American Yeomen has been filed with the clerk of the supreme court. This is the suit that was started to recover the Insurance on the life of George Wood, of Colfax, the banker who com mitted suicide. The attorney for the insurance company raised a question whether Banker AVood really did kill himself and It was even alleged that he was not dead, altho residents of Colfax swore to being at his house when the shot was fired and to 'have later discovered his body hi the b&^h room. •t',1 In the litigation the supreme court decided. In favor of the widojw and against the insurance company. The company is now asking for a rehear ing of '.he case. The supreme court will meet one week frpm today and among the other tffvtiorarl case frbnx Woodbrtry county Involving the constitutionality of the indeterminate sentence law, Judge Mould of that county having refused to recognize the law and sentenced a criminal to a definite term of years. The case of probably the greatest importance to be presented to the court at this term is that involving the constitutionality of the "Des Moines" or commission plan of gov ernment. The lower court held the law constitutional. The case IS of general interest because In addition to Des Moines, Cedar Rapids has already adopted the plan and Davenport, Sioux City and probably Council Bluffs are to vote on it soon. The opinion of the supreme court In the case involving the franchise rights of the Des Moines Street Railway is expected soon as the case was sub mitted to the court some months ago. Only one murder case of importance will be submitted to the court at this term, that has attracted state wide at tentlon. against Charles Rocker. for a rehearing from a conviction for life sentence for the murder of his em ployer whose widow he afterward married. Rocker was first sentenced to hang. He was in the employe of August Schroeder in Lyon county and the trial was at Sibley. /Jle is ac cused of having murdered his employ er, who was a thrifty German farmer and later married the widow. The woman afterward alleged that nucsef came home drunk one night and in a drunken sleep told of the murder of Schroeder. In the morning she con fronted him with the facts and he ad mitted them and attempted to shoot her. Later it was discovered that Rocker had a wife living before he married Mrs. Schroeder. On this ground she was permitted to testify against him.

FAMINE OF SCHOOL TEACHERS Term Opens With Thirty-three Rooms Lacking Instructors. Chicago, Jan. 7.—Scarcity of teach ers, which is crippling public school work in the larger cities thruout the country, made itself felt in Chicago yesterday in unexpected fashion.

After explaining the situa the cases to be "on and telling the children to return as usual this morning, the principal of the school in each case dismissed the pupils in the "disabled" room. One hundred s.nd fifty substitute teachers had beer, assigned to regular work in charge of school rooms, but this exhausted the available list, and when reports of still more vacancies came pouring in at the board rooms, the school authorities decided there was nothing for it to do but send the children home.

The amount has not been speci fied, but It is assumed that it will be In the neighborhood of $75,000. The announcement created general dissatis faction in financial circles, because the present time is not regarded as an opportune time for the government to made demands on the market. The ministry doubtless understands this clearly, but it is impelled to seek a loan because of pressing requirements on account of additions to existing railroad equipment, the purchase of lands In Poland for purposes of set tlement, and other less urgent needs.

Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Jan. 7.—Opposing the statement of a Perry committee that beet sugar was not a successful indus try in Iowa, W. B. Rosevear, the gener al manager of the Iowa Sugar com pany, which operates a big beet sugar factory at Waverly, has been in Des Moines two days giving information concerhing tho new industry his com pany has started. He doclarcd that the farmers about Waverly were getting so that the acreage of sugar beets is growing and the product is on the in crease. "This year we harvested 1,300 acres and sfecured 7,890 tons' of sugar beets which brought at our factory $5 a ton. Next year we have already contracted for 2,000, and expect to have fully 3,000 acres devoted to sugar beets next year. We have just closed bur season and manufactured 700 tons .of sugar, the greater part of which was sold right here in Iowa,-much of it .pass ing thru our Des'Moines jobber,' Iowa Sugar Brokerage' company. "The story that Iowa soil is not adapted to the sugar beet industry is disproven by' the fact that the Iowa Sugar company made thorough: inves tigations before it invested $600,000 In the big Waverly plant. It was not in tested without an investigation. Prac tically every, stockholder is a stock holder in other beet sugar factories, and they did not invest without know ing something about what was need ed. For years northeast Iowa has been raising beets fdr the Minnesota and the Wisconsin factories. The farm ers were pleftsod with the result, and we expect to develop the Industry un til Iowa raises sufficient number of sugar beets to supply the demand for sugar in Iowa". It will take sixteen such factories as we have in Waverly. Today 80 per cent of the-sugar sold in this state Is beet sugar and comes from the factories, of Colorado, Cali fornia and the western states. "The sugar beet does not take the life out of the soil. I know of one tract that has been planted for twen ty-tive years consecutively In sugar beets aind the crop last year was as great as the first. There is nothing drawn Intct ,a sugar beet which would vitiate anv)e'o!l. It is true vve suggest rotation of. crops, but-It ,1s only be causelt eliHehes the soil to have an other kind of crop on-alternate years. "Labor can be secured. We furnish a whole family to farmers who will contract for twenty acres of beets dur ing a season. And they are available for other kinds of work. In the fac tory where the season of operation lasts ^or, about 120 days, day and nigh", the help, is to a large extent unskilled and dr&ws upon the idle population of a town In October-, and November, a time vyhen the trades are dull and men are idle. We employ 200 men and have a capacity of 5,000 tons el sugar a season. We draw on farmers from Fort Dodge east to the river and from Qsage on the north to West Liberty on the south. This year, because of wet weather between July 5 and July 17, the crop was not as paying as any other growth under like conditions. Our farmers are contracting year af ter year, and we have no doubt about the success of the sugar beet Industry in Iowa. Every claim which the Perry committee makes fs disproved by the reports issued by the agricultural re ports at Washington.

An adequate idea of the intense in terest which has been aroused by young Mr. Cooper during the past year with his theories and medicines is given in the following article which appeared In the Cincinnati Post while Cooper was introducing his ideas to the people of that city. The article says: "The beginning of Mr. Cooper's second week in Cincinnati gives every indication that he is to enjoy the same astonishing success here as In other cities. "From the first day of,his visit the crowds that call to see him have stead ily increased, until now it has reached a point where several thousand talk with him each day. The ehtire city seems to have become interested in his theory that the human stomach Is degenerate, and he already has an army of followers in Cincinnati who seem positive that his claims are cor rect. "A number of CIncinnatlans were interviewed at Cooper's headquarters on Friday, and several interesting statements, shewing their intense faith in Cooper's preparations, were secured. The following are selected from these statements and are characteristic of them all: Mrs. M. E. Emerson of 630 West Court street, said: 'I have suf fered with stomach trouble and con stipation for a year or so.

Operation Suffering Spe?!al to Times-Republican. Davenport, Jan. 7.—Another sensa tional case has broken out In the dis trict court in which Gustav Scheel asks $13,000 damages from the Drs. .Mntthey. The damages are asked in a coun ter claim filed by Ely Bush, who represent Mr. Scheel. The original suit was one broug.'ht against Mr. Scheel by the Drs. .Matthey to collect $250 alleged to be due for medical services. Mr. Scheel today files an answer In which he denies that he owes the phy sicians $250 for medical services and in support of his contention states that he was to pay that amount of money for an operation on his wife If the operation was successful, but states that it was not successful and his wife was in no way benefited by it. It is in the counterclaim, however, that the sensational part appears and in this Mr. Scheel claims that a gauze sponge was left in wound caused by an operation and the sponge remained there for a period of several weeks, causing her great pain and necessitat ing a second operation. The defendant claims that on this account he haw been damaged to the extent of $15,000 and asks judgment for that amount against the plaintiffs. The text of the counter claim as filed In the district court against the Drs. Matthey is as follows: "And for counter vclalm against said plaintiff, defendants respectfully show to the court that in the performance of an operation by the plaintiff herein upon defendant Mrs. Gustav Scheel, hat a laparotomy was performed, and hat In said operation the plaintiff tereln used numerous pieces of gauze •ommonly called gauze sponges, and hat after having performed said op eration, plaintiff negligently and care essly failed to remove /rom the per :on of said defendant, Mrs. Gustav Scheel, one of said sponges and that mid sponge remained within the body if said defendant, Mrs. Gustav Scheel, for a period of about six or seven weeks, causing her great pain and suf fering and causing her to be confined to her bed, a greater portion of tho time, and causing great iriflairrmatton in the surrounding parts of said Mrs. CJustav Scheel's body, that said fail ure of plaintiff herein to properly per form an operation upon said Mrs. Gus tav Sqheel rendered it necessary for her to submit to a second operation for the same ailment: for which the first operation had been performed that as a result of the failure of said plaintiff to remove said spbnge and as the result of plaintiff's failure to prop erly care for said Mrs. Gustav Scheel, defendants have been injured and damaged in the sum. of fifteen thou sand dollars. "Wherefore. defendants demand judgment against th€: plaintiff for the sum of fifteen thousand dollars for costs of this action."* and Timing the Chauffeurs.

Brooks, living at 527 Walnut street, who had the following to say: 'For the past eighteen months I have been a constant sufferer from catarrh of the head and stomach. My nasal passage would become inflamed and sore. I would have severe headaches, which affected my eyes, and great crusts of matter would drop into the throat, causing an irritation of the bronchial passages, until the stomach finally became poisoned. When I would lay down at night a phlegm would gather in my throat until it almost choked me, and would cause an an noying cough. Half a bottle of Cooper's New Discovery gave me re lief and when the first bottle was fin ished, I felt like a inew man. I am now completely cured and consider Cooper's New Discovery the greatest catarrh, blood and snomach remedy in the world.'"

Rockwell, .Ian. 7.—Whatever causc for disappointment and regret the northern Iowa farmer has had because of reverses sustained during the past season, he lias no words of complaint to offer hccuuse of tho Quality of win ter weather that has been furnished him thus far. In some places not enough grain was raised to winter the horses, .cattle and hiigs nocessary to keep .the farms stocked, leaving out ol' the question any feeding of stock for the market, yet in these same localities ail classes of farm animals aro in un usually line condition, the open win ter having permitted them to get their entire subsistence from cornfields and meadows, eating what would usually in large measure have been wasted. Sumo farmers have not yet fed a particle of hay or grain to their horses or milch cows, tho both have remained In excel lent condition, und the saving thus ef fected is hard to overestimate. Those living In the level portions of the state, where for several years past there has existed at nearly all times a surplus of moisture, exult over the fact that at the close of the tiling season ditches were dug to a depth of three or four feet in low places, and only dry dirt was thrown out, a condition, they say, thav has not before existed at any time within the memory of the oldest' in habitants. More fall plowing was done last year than for a long time, and the Reason was especially favorable for those preparations for winter that are often left unfinished because of an early and unexpected period of stormy weather. chickens and needed a good lesson in t}iat direction. He Insisted that there Is as much dif ference In high and low bred poultry as there Is In cattle or hogs, and that the time has arrived when prices paid for chickens and other species of poul try will be governed largely by the quality of the offerings, as well as age, size and other considerations.

Some chunks of pretty good coal have been found in the ditch that Is now draining the Aunis slough In Un ion township. Hug Herman exhibited it in Algona last week. This is not the first evidence of small coal forma tions that have been found about here, but it is not likely that coal was formed here in sufficient quantity to make profitable mining. Sibley. George W. Meader, a pioneer hard ware merchant in Sibley, who has re cently turned the business over to his sons and retired, is in the Evanston hospital, Chicago, where he underwent an operation for the removal of the vermiform appendix. The operation re vealed a cancerous growth on the lower bowel, from which there is no relief. Jefferson. The horse belonging to Lew Ander son, of Willow township, stolen last fall.

The men dashed out of a dark al ley between the M. E. church parson age and church, and pointing revol vers at Brown commanded him to throw up his hands.

Special to Times-Republican Mason City, Jan. 7.—That Cerro Gor do county Is protecting herself against future Hoods, which retard crops and prevent the full returns from hlgh prlced lands, is evident by the amount of money spent tills past season In drainugc In all parts of the county. Eleven drainage districts have been laid out, seven of them completed, with four remaining uncompleted and prob ably a halt dozen other districts In the county asking for the same provis ion to guard against the ravages of protracted rains for another season. According to tho figures furnished by the board of-supervisors, there has been spent over $:'5,000 for drainage. Of the eleven districts, the average ex pense will be from $3,000 to $10,000 each, and with the amount of drainage yet Incomplete, the total expense will probably be close to $100,000. It Is evident that to make northern Iowa land profitable during a wet sea son. It must be properly drained. A good deal of the farm land of this county Is Hat, much of it has poor natural drainage, and such land this year produced little or nothing In re turn from the crops planted, while on similar lying land adjacent to It, that has been drained properly, good crops crops. The county work has been largely that of ditching to afford prop er outlets for a system of drainage In tlint neighborhood. Next year the land owners and tho county will spend much more money than this year. ELEVATOR BOY GETS |35,000. Fortune Left Namesake Nephew by New York Bachelor. Special to Times-Republican.

A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Function® and Knowl edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health when a tru and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,» an ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first and best of family laxatives, for which np extravagant or unreasonable claims are made^ This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure laxative piinciples, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and| Fli«ir of Senna—as more fully descrjptive of the remedy,:' but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter of'—Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects, always note, whep purchasing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, whether you call for—Syrup of Figs or by the fill name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.

The whole hysterical accusa lion is so absurd and baseless, so la i,clod with mendacity and political S ipalice that it 4s caloulated to disgust f- Instead of convince. The paper quoted -iibove has from time to time at tempted to conceal the Issues that have arisen tn Iowa politics toy the same meaiis. It has yapped from the shad ows cast by the cypresses above the '"{[rave of a great lowan, like a coyote fibout a shrine, not In defense of his fame, for Dave Henderson's fame Is siecure and his name honored for -what .he accomplished, but In the fear that the official carrion of politics, the Jobs, the offal of politics, may be disturbed .1 where It and its pack have buried V'l ithem. tl la not a watchdog barking. /rhe Republican has never kept the ^company of watchdogs In politics. AThe progressive press has on the whole been extremely careful of Sen ntor Allison's corns. Hla age perhaps has imuch to do with the universal nourtesy that has been thus shown lilm. It baa not been prolific of accu sation as haye the newspapers opposed to Governor Cummins. It has not twisted and distorted news reports, misrepresented his record or'villified his character as the opposition press has done by his opponent. It is op posed to his demand for a six years* k, term at eighty. To say that he la past the period when men are eervlce able Is entirely legitimate, true and yHensible. To say that lie has been l' honored as no other man In Iowa and ought to be-satisfied with the retire ment which la the privilege as well as the duty of extreme age, Is only Just, and not cruel. The progressive press has been not unkind to Allison. Such "sheets as the Republican know this. -iThey are not baying In defense of Alll ^on, but growling over the bone at a postofflce either In poaaesalojB^ or' hun grily hoped for. Thl8 should be an honest campaign iand a decent one. The primary is to decide. It Is a great pity that news papers of the ward Iheelet type should endeavor to Inject into it such sense less and. shameless and slanderous 'V stuff. There is argument of a sort to make for. Allison. There is plenty to make against him and much that is not likely to be given voice. Why .should any newspaper stop' to fling such dilth' as the above quotation from the Cedar Rapids Republican? 4,"K -His£j$si. Pfy MR. COTTRELL'S AFFINITY. -John C. Cottrell, the member of the [wa legislature from Plymouth county 0^'" has given .out an interview that is unique, coming as it does from an Iffcu "Iowa farmer who has been considered an 'ordinarily decent man. Mr. iCottrell picked: up an "affinity" while he was In Des Moines helping to make laws to curb vice in others. Now he Is casting aside the wife he (married '^tj. twenty-seven years ago for the pur *v! pose, as he says, to solace the other woman for the notoriety her affection I for h!:m has brought upon her. He says in his interview that their attor neys :ire endeavoring to reach a set tlement that will give the wife a share of his possessions and him a divorce. He adds that "the children" are try Ing to "act sensibly about'it" and are Vi? not "takiifg sides," and assures the reporter In a trembling voice of his W undying love for the other woman.

Now they are cursing the old age of another man. But the people of Iowa will am to It that' human hyenas do not succeed again. |j it is hard to see how such abomln !r 'able'stuff as the above Is to assist the lights of sensuality into the lmgs of public disgrace. His wife has grown old and gray with tho hard work that HcctiimilnIt'll lite $:G,000 lie says he la worth mid in rearing their family of children. She isn't •charming as she was more tlinn a quarter century ago when she linked her lil'e anil fortunes to the man she did not dream was a scoundrel. This man Is grown old too. He doesn't imagine how old. When he turned away from the lined face nf ills wife to a new one. he imagined he was in his prime. This self-deception is the common attribute of such men. It is why an old fool greatest. He Is willing to give up some of his property to his wife in exchange for what he calls liberty and what decent people call license and Immorality. It. Is to Jje hoped that she is well advised and will hold out for most of it. She might as well have it. She worked for it. The other woman will get it If she doesn't.. Get it? Of course she will get it. Those women always do. Generally they spend it on another man. It Is practically a natural law that immoral and shameless alliances work out to the poverty and loneliness of the man •who makes them. It may be a year, sometimes a few months more, but the time comes Avhen the law of com pensation works and she finds another affinity. Then the gay lotharlo of to day wakes up to find himself a weep ing old man in rags, without friends, hope or home. And nfbody cares. No body ought to care. But with the shameless announce ment that he is buying a divorce by "settling" with his wife this man seems to .have shut himself out of the divorce court. The law does not consider traf fic of this nature. Wives, In Iowa, should not be commodities to be bar tered or bought. The authorities should see that the deal falls thru, so far as the courts are concerned. It would not be entirely unfemlnine or unjust if the deserted wife should, after she had the price cinched, to go back on the bargain and see to it herself. And if she does the state of Iowa would simply smile and nudge its neighbor. ELECTIONS AND MODERN CONDITIONS. James T. •Clark, in an article which appears In the January number of The North American Review, con siders the question of "How to Ad just the Election Laws to Modern Con ditions." Mr. Clark lays emphasis on the fact that the laws under which our elections are held were made to lit very much simpler conditions than exist today. They are, therefore, now a misfit and, instead of securing for the citizen an opportunity to elect his representative, they are extremely use ful to the 'boss in enabling him to put his personal tocls In the places of power. Mr. Clark makes a suggestion which, in his Judgment, would correct this evil: '^This plan' begins by obliterating the politician's tnap of election dis tricts. In a typical city, it preserves the ward boundaries, .but mingles all the voters within those limits without geographical separation. Assuming that within such limits as a ward there is some community of acquaint ance and interest, it proposes that a registration of the' voters therein shall be made and groups of two hundred, or about that number, selected by lot, the names of voters toeing chosen from the ward register as those of jurors from a panel. These groups, it Is pro posed, chosen thus by lot, should at once meet and perform the single part of choosing a representative, not neces sarily from their own number, but from the ward, to meet with other rep resentatives chosen in the same way by the other groups of the ward. These representatives in ea.ch ward form a college of electors, which has the dou ble function of '.naming ward officers, when met together, and also naming a representative for the ward to a 'higher college composed of representa tives chosen In like manner. This sys tem of compound representation Is logically extensible according to the complexity and rising planes, of gov ernment." Topics of the Times At the present prices of foods the dollar dinner should comprise less eating and drinking and more talking. The dollar dinner promises to toe more popular than ever with Colonel Bryan. —nSioux City Journal. But a dollar doesn't get much talk out of Mr. Bryan. It takes a guar anty and a 50 per cent split on gross admissions. Business comes out after the holi days without much of a headache. Harry That's sister Who is suing for a divorce should put the earl on the bargain counter as marked down goods. He cost old Thaw a million and should be worth something second hand. Are you still crossing out the "7" and supplying the "8"? There seems no serious stringency of things to eat and to wear. Notwithstanding the prohibition of excessive campaign expenses Mr. Taft's condidacy includes a big Bill. As the women are to be kept out of the count room during the Thaw trial, and the newspapers are not likely to give it much space, what's the use of having it? Golfer—I suppose you've been round the links with worse players than me, eh? No answer. Golfer (slightly louder)—I suppose vou've been round the links with worse 3* ""tL I players than me? (.'addle—tl heard verra well what ye said the furst time. I'm thinking about •it.—The 'Captain. A significant summary of facts has .itist been given in 111# "Popular Science Monthly." by I'rofessor Homer Price, of Ohio 'State university. Kight years ago more 'than thirty-live farms out of every one hundred were operat ed by tenants, while 23.S per cent of all farm lands—1. e., 'both developed and undeveloped acreage—was rented to transient, occupants. Rural land lordism Is thrice as prevalent in tills "land of economic freedom" as in overpopiilu-lfd Germany, and statistics taken today would probably show that tho high tenancy rate of France—47.i! per cent Is almost If not quite equalled. When It is considered that the relative number of tenants has been increasing In spite of the millions of acres taken up annually for forty years' In homestead grants, the magni tude of this economic transformation becomes still more impressive. In keeping with a resolution passed by the city fathers of Vienna, the body of Ognaz Jacob Heger will be removed from the Chicago cemetery and placed In a grave of honor in the Central cemetery, where It will receive perpet ual care at the expense of the city. Heger. was the -pioneer of stenography in Austria and the director of the bu reau of stenography in the Austrian parliamnet of 1S4S. He was a pupil of Gaibelsberg and did much toward spreading the system In his country. One of his prominent pupils was Conn, who became official parliamentary stenographer In 1860. IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES. "Wouldn't It be a good joke on all the republican candidates if they should create So much bitterness light ing each other that Mr. Bryan should be able to beat the .winner?" asks the Lake City News. "If there is a man in Iowa who knows more about the tnislnpss re quirements of the office of governor than Garst," the Odebolt Chronicle "should like to get a look at him." "Governor Garst is not controlled by any man or set of them any farther than his best judgment tells him is right. We have been with him in a legislative capacity when men were running for cover, and he never de serted his gun for an instant," says P. A, Smith in the Scranton Journal. The Parkersburg Eclipse notes that "The same old crowd that attempted to scalp Cummins last year are sharp ening up their knives again for next year's fray." Voicing a ruling passion the Bur lington Hawkeye ruminates: "If Foraker reaches the presidential chair, Liston McMillan ought to have some thing good In the way of an office." "There is a good deal of idle spec ulation as to the,governorship," points out the Spirit Lake Beacon. "There never was any possible theory upon which to base the talk of Haugen as a candidate. The name of Secretary Wilson is used wholly without prob ability. And it will not be 'Garst against the field,' for there will be no field. It will be Garst against the man believed to be the best vote get ter the standpatters can get into the field. This will not be Palmer nor Lacey. It will in all probability be Auditor Carroll, In the hope that he will be able to hold the standpatters, in spite of his refusal to line up with them in their hotir of travail, and make Inroads upon the progressives, because lie has not made their burdens heavier to bear. This will be a con test between two strong men who served together for years In the senate, and who have always been on the best of terms personally. And the fellow who wins out will easil.v understand he has been in a fight with one worthy of his steel." Noting that Bernard Murphy, ex state printer, has decided to be a can didate for lieutenant governor, the Thornton Enterprise asserts: "This announcement will be hailed with •ghoulish glee' by organized -labor thruout Iowa. His conduct of the state printing office during the eight hour strike two years ago Is still fresh in mind and his candidacy will be 'welcomed with bloody hands to a hospitable grave.'" Apples Going Abroad. (Boston Post.) For the week ending yesterday the total apple) shipments from this port aggregated 10,756 barrels, including 8,275 barrels to Liverpool, 196 barrels to London, and 2,285 barrels to Glas gow. Altho the season Is drawing to a close, the shipments this year are far in excess of those of a year ago, when they totalled only 6,200 barrels, and for 1905 only 4.407 barrels were shipped. Since the present season, opened a total-of 251,770 barrels of apples-have been exported, as compared with 396, 709 barrels for1 last year and 310,761 barrels for the previous year.

Now add to that another "that," that help others, ami we have tho exact situation of tills city. In the first place the citizens hero have al ways helped themselves by taxing themselves. A tax brought the Iowa Centra! in here many years ago, and coal at once dropped from $4.50 and $5 por ton to $3 to $4. They taxed them selves for water works and sewer sys tem mid the town forged ahead. They taxed themselves for a fine big new school building, and new fa Ail lies moved Into town. They taxed them selves for sidewalks, stone crossings and electric lighted streets, and mure people moved here. Now they are get ting ready to tax themselves for paved streets, anil again Grinuell will take another big stride. Hut they not only legally tax them selves, but their voluntary subscrip tions, cash out of pocket, aro much larger. A $35,000 stone Congregational church, when paid for, needed a $10, 000 organ. In both cases money was easily raised by subscription. So was the money for a $10,000 Ilaptist church, $27,000 for a new Methodist church. Last Sunday they dedicated a $10,000 new Presbyterian church. A $50,000 endowment for the college has hardly been raised before the project for a $a,00fl organ for the college is an nounced. and the women's clubs will undoubtedly raise the money. We used to say Grinnell is a nice place to live in, now we agree there Is no bet ter business town of Its size in Iowa. Surely the Lord helps tlioso that help themselves and help others. During the recent so-called bankers' panic, there was no change In the way of doing things In Grinnell. When the Des Moines bankers issued the war cry, the bankers here followed the ad vice of one sensible banker, "Suppose we agree to put the lid on when we have to. We all have telephones. If we. any of us, find trouble, or have good reason to suppose there is trou ble ahead, then we can act, but we will not hunt trouble or stir up matters by any concerted or announced action." The result was not a Grinnell bank re fused to cash a depositor's check for any amount, and on the first of Jan uary the usual amount of "cash on hand" shows on their books." There are some "long headed" con servative business men here, and they mention what the writer hears else where among business men. And that is the air is full of business caution. Trade Is good, debts are paid, men are at work, crops are fair and good prices, but—one man compares the situation to that of a big strong man having to take a night trip thru some dark woods. He isn't afraid, oh no, but still men have been held up In such places. One merchant tells of his Inability to get as many dozen of a certain manufactured article as he ordered, the factory will fill his order later, only sent half what he bought, etc. And yet that merchant is buy ing cautiously. Another merchant says the average business man of Iowa now engaged 1? "taking stock Is figuring too high. That while he will feel good when lils profits for 1907 show so much on -ga per, it will cost all the more when'ho takes stock next January. In other words, he expects to buy many things much less In 190S than 1907. In still other words the preacher will be able to buy more with the same salary In 190S than 1907. And this merchant is not sure the panic is over, altho he admits there has been no panic in Grinnell. He is not afraid, but— :y We have heard much aboitt the readjustment of prices, especially farm products. In Brooklyn the other day the writer took the pains to ask several dealers what they were pay ing for farm products and found out prices were nearly back to what was paid previous to'the break. With the exception of hides, cash buyers of all kinds of farm products are payr ing but little less than before the slump. Poultry Is close to the high est price paid in November. Hogs and cattle are some lower. Butter and eggs are only a little less. Grain products about the same. An ownef of farm a few miles from town, sola his share of corn for 4»5 cents per bushel In the crib on the farm. Retail prices of these farm products, I. e., prices to the consumer, are little if any less. The preacher's salary lrf Brooklyn will 'buy no more now than three months ago. Very little "re adjustment" here. Iowa Newspapers WMMWMXWWSPffiBWMMtWmMJSIWy ALDRICH AND ALLISON. (Odebolt Chrbnlcle.) Senator Allison's political friends claim that he is one of the greatest living authorities on financial legisla tion. Why doesn't he round' out his public career by devising measures which will prevent "currency famines" in the future? He has frequently ad mitted that something should be done, but, with his habitual caution, has al ways waited for some one else to do it. Instead of Allison, it Is Aldrich, the Standard Oil senator, who is always mentioned in connection with plans to reform the currency system and such plans are always designed to benefit the people whom Aldrich represents. Aldrich proposes Allison acquiesces. For twenty years the Iowa senator has followed the lead of Aldrich on nearly every measure which has come up In the senate. Aldrich is a man of abili ty, but his brains belong to the Stand ard Oil Company. WHAT HE MIGHT HAVE WRITTEN (Glidden Graphic.) The campaign against Cummins last year cost the railways and other cor porations more than a quarter of a million dollars. If during that cam paign Senator Allison had written a letter of half a dozen lines condemn ing this effort to corrupt and debauch the party in the state there would now be no opposition to his re-election from progressive sources. But this is not Allison's long suit. Blythe and Hubbard ruled Iowa with an iron grip for years without protest from him. It was left for others to fight for and finally secure the anti-pass law, the Tt h. y&m: •K) primary, the board of control and oth er legislation which has established the sovereignty of the people of the state over the corporations. Advanc ing age and duties In other directions will not admit of Allison's active par ticipation in state campaigns, but It would not have taken much time to Indite a brief letter Indicating his views of these matters, and that is hII that would have been necessary—just something as a matter of record. The reason why such record was never made is tho reason for the opposition to Allison at this time. MURPHY'S 'CANDIDACY. (Bernard Murphy In Vinton pagle) In the artlclo following this the Cedar Rapids Republican has very kindly announced our name as a can didate for t'he republican nomination for lieutenant governor. This can didacy will stand until the primaries are held next June when If the repub lican electors of the atate decide ad versely to us the candidacy will bo dropped and the candidate who may receive a higher vote and be declared the nominee of the .party will receive our most cordial support both person ally and thru the columns of this newspaper. Our main excuse In offering our name for ratification 'by our party is a personal desire to attain the honorable position which designates the office. We have no better right to offer our name than has any other republican In the state. We feel we have as good a right, hence the announcement comes in ans,wer to many requests that have come to us that we allow the us® of our name for that purpose. As to our republicanism and party loyalty It Is an open book to the re publicans of this state, and especially to the republicans of this county. For the last thirty years we have striven to offer good counsel, and we have stood loyally by the platforms enunci ated by the several gatherings, both state and national, of our great .party. Wre believe with President Roosevelt that* "protection," spelled with a .big "P," Is the underlying and accepted principle of t'he party. It has been, and Is now, the staff of life to the bus iness 'Interests of the country. The Beagle, under our management, has been a 'persistent and insistent advo cate of the national platforms of 1900 and 19Q4. It can also be truthfully said that the Eagle has been a faithful supporter of President Roosevelt thru his two administrations. In state political party affairs we have taken the same Interest as have other active republicans. We have seen some of t'he things we have ad vocated adopted and some rejected, but we have always accepted the will of the majority as expressed toy 'the party's state convention. If it should be our good fortune to receive the nomination at the hands of our .party It would be our highest ambltion to lend our aid In maintain ing the high standard the republican •party has reached In this state.

A woman's reputation as a dresser Is made by other women. But, even if the world were a desert, with only one woman in it, she would still dress well in such garments Of leaves and flowers as might be available. The instinct for personal adornment would prevail in a woman left alone on a solitary island. She would pace the desolate beach in the fashions both set and followed only by herself. She would alter the style of even a skin covering from time to time, sometimes having the sleeves full and sometimes closely fit ting. Motor Cars and Crime. (London (Eng.) Daily Mail.) When the motor car made its first appearance in this country now more than ten years ago, its possibilities In the hands of criminals were a favorite subject with the writers of romance and novels that dealt in crime. Recent events are illustrating the fact that fic tion has here only anticipated history. The motor car is now to an increasing extent employed by the skilled burglar, to whom it offers unrivaled facilities for gaining the house which he has marked down for attack, and escaping with his booty after the "crack." Sago Suggestions as to Lying. (Washington, D. C., Times) There is not so much objection to lying as there is to a lack of art in the telling of a lie. It is no use to tell a lie unless you are going to accom plish your purpose. Lies can do the work whether they are discovered or not. It is all in the manner of tell ing them. In the first place never tell a lie when the truth will do just as well. This serves to establish your reputation and gives your lies a stand ing they could not otherwise gain. Never tell a big lie to gain a small ob ject, nor tell a little lie to gain a big object. Let all your lies be big and lusty feWows, and let them have r*^^r

THE WANDERER'S RETURN. I t-' —Taylor in Los Angeles Times. some big business in hand. These two rules are really imperative if you expect lo become a successful and proficient liar. Little lies for little things are not worth telling. Finally, always have the courage of your Ilea. Stick to 'em. If you are not brave enough to stand by your own lies, why send them out only to be be trayed? A man is the rankest sort of a coward that refuses to give his lie any support when It crawls back to him from the buffetings, beatings and rough usage of the populace. Brace it up with manufactured corroborative evidence and artificial confirmation and send it out again renewed in spirit and vigor. MILLIONAIRES IN CELLS.

Both men expressed a willful ness to see the city prison in Pitts burg. and SIcGough gave them a pass and turued tlieni over to Sergeant Adolph Met/,. Sergeant Metz was busy and turned them over to Detec tive Morgan, forgetting to tell bim that they were visitors. Morgan took the two men back Into the cell rooiu, and before they knew what was happening he was relieving them of their valuables and other pos sessions. They protested, but it did no good, for Morgan was a former pugilist and wouldn't take any buck talk. He almost dropped dead, though, when he fished a "$1,000 bill out of Mr. Brafc nell's pocket and as much more out of Mr. MeCarvIn's clothes. When he had relieved them of everything he locked them in separate cells and took a hat ful of money, diamonds and other val uables into Captain McGough's private office. While all this wns going on Mr. McGough hud been summoned to an other part of the buiidlug. and It was nearly nil hour before he returned. "Them's big guns we've got. cap tain," he announced. "I got about a ton bf Junk from each of 'cm."

Dr. Nicholas Senn of Chicago, one of the most widely known surgeons iu the United States, who died at Chicago the other day, traveled in Wyoming'several years ago, and In the small town of Sundauce an odd ndventure befell him, says the Chicago Kecord-Herald. IIo had a letter of Introduction to a ranch er called Walton, and. stopping tho first man whom he met iu Sundance, he said: "I am looking for a chap named Walton. Dp you know him?" "Well," said the stranger, "there's a good many Waltons hereabouts. Which Walton might you be lookiu' for?" "John Walton," said Dr. Senn. "There's four John Waltons in Crook county," said the native. "This one keeps very fine stock." "AH the Waltons keep" mighty fine stock." "This Walton," Dr. Senn pursued, "is rather tight—you know what I mean—rather close fisted." "Close fistedness, sir, runs in the Walton blood." "Well, I am informed," said Dr. Senn, "that this particular Walton—1 don't suppose the story is true, but they say that this particular Walton once stole a lot of chickens from his sister."

Washington, Jan. 7. President Roosevelt contemplates taking action for a thorough reorganization of the navy department. Ills Instruction to Secretary Metcalf to. have Rear Ad miral Converse, former chief of the bureau of navigation, report the exact facts regarding conditions connected with the naval administration was preliminary to action designed to put an end to frequent controversies which occur between bureau chiefs. Not again, if he can help it, will there be the spectacle of two bureau officers, such as Rear Admiral Brown son and Surgeon General Rixey, en gaging in a dispute about a technical question, which ends with one of them resigning his office. The president pro poses that there shall be co-ordination between the different bureaus, and It may be that he will present to congress certain projects of reform for enact ment into law. Brownson Letter Made Public. The president disposed of the Brownson Incident by making public yesterday afternoon the letter of res ignation addressed to him by Rear Admiral BioWnson. The letter of the admiral shows that lie tendered his resignation because he considered the president had lost confidence in his judgment, and because he believed the military efficiency of the fleet would be damaged by what he considered an unlawful order of the president as signing medical olTicers to command hospital ships. There was some talk In congress of pressing for passage a resolution calling upon the president for all of the correspondence connected with the incident, and this may yet be done. Representative Foss, chairman of the house naval committee, has Just prepared a bill for the reorganization of the navy department, which is de of the navy epartment, which is de signed to remove friction, reduce the amount of red tape, and decrease the expense, in connection with the con struction and repair of men of war. .This bill has no connection, of course, with the Brownson controversy, but it was said by several members that should it be offered and considered, thejr would anion Jit so a^to overturn the policy Inaugurated by President Roosevelt with respect to the new duty given to medical officers. Mr. Foss' bill provides simply for a consolidation of the bureaus of equipment, steam engineering, and construction, and places the single bureau under the charge of a chief constructor. It Is believed Mr. Foss will improve his bill before its Introduction by pro viding also'for the organization of a personal bureau, and placing all mat ters relating to accounts, purchases, etc., under secretary. requisitions, the Department Asks $125,000,000. The naval committee of the house will begin tomorrow the consideration of the naval appropriation bill. The estimates submitted by the secretary of the navy amount to $125,000,000. This Immense sum is said to be abso lutely required In order properly to op erate the fleet, but it is extremely doubtful if the committee will recom mend more than $100,000,000. Just as the committee Is about to consider the bill a communication has been received from Robert S. Waddcll, president of the Buckeye Powder com pany, urging liberal appropriations for the extension of the navy powder fac tory at Indian. Head, Md., and or a powder factory at Dover, N. J. Mr. Waddell repeats his attacks upon the powder monopoly. At the same time he believes With the'Joint army and navy board that purchases from all private manufacturers should be con tinued to a limited degree. Mr. Waddell says the battle fleet and fortifications would be useless with out a sufficient supply of powder 'to keep them in action. He cites the fact that at the outbreak of the Spanish war the United States had no smoke less powder that could be used. Had to Make Machinery. When the war was declared orders were immediately placed for addition al machinery, and several machine shops worked night and day, Sundays included, to make it. All tills machin ery was installed In this one plant, and was subject to destruction by ex plosion. Both the army and navy used brown and black powder in the Spanish war. In the Russo-Japanese conflict, Mr. Waddell points out that the Russians had in action 1,600 guns, and the Japanese nearly as many. By far the greatest amount of am munition expended during that war was burned by the artillery in the field. All this powder was of the smokeless variety. It is imperative, In Mr. Waddell's judgment, that there [should be an ample supply of smoke less powder on hand, both for the army and fleet. He also insists "that I every'form of monopoly in the man ufacture of powder, used in public de fense of the nation and lives and prop erty of its citizens, should be elimin ated. Wanted to Resign. Fire Commissioner Lantry of New York, in explaining to a reporter his plans for establishing a firemen's "roll of merit" told this story: "It takes pluck," he began, "to be a fireman. A young fellow of only av erage pluck was serving at his lirst fire, and the chief rushed up to him and shouted:' "'Shin up that ladder to the eighth floor, and crawl alorfg the cornice to the fourth window, drop down three stories and catch that wooden sign •!3.

Ostriches on a Rampage. Long Beach, Cal.—Paul Ushher and two keepers arrived here yesterday from Phoenix, Arl., with a car load of thirty ostriches after a dangerous and exciting trip. On the desert between Yuma and Maricopa the train was in a collision, and t?he car ahead of the ostriches was smashed, •while the big birds were severely shaken up. They kicked down the partition by which they were confined, and, rushing wildly about, capslsed the stove, setting fire to the car. Ushher and his helpers made desperate efforts to quiet the stamped ing ostriches, but were driven into a corner and were In Imminent peril of being kicked to death. Meantime the blaze was making headway, and men and birds appeared doomed, when members of the 'train crew rescued them. The fire was finally extinguished after a hard fight. The smoke made the ostriches frantic, and they battered the sides of the car with their Jvoofs, Ibrulsed each other with terrible blows and exhibited ugly temper generally. One of the men was tossed up against the roof and his leg nearly broken. Collapse Eating Oranges. iMarton, O.—Gorging In an orange eating contest, the award to the win ner to have been a morning luncheon, may cost two young telephone opera tors of Agosta their lives. Physicians express little confidence In their abil ity to save the girls, Hazel Hosier and Cuba Crissinger, each 14 years old. Jn the Agosta Home Telephone com pany's exchange, as the New Year came in, each mixing in two bananas, they devoured thirty-eight oranges, assistant before they were overcome. Physicians working all day, have produced little Improvement in their patients. Miss Hosier was ahead when the eating -contest halted, having consum ed twenty of the oranges to Miss Crisslnger's eighteen. Bites Big Pearl in Oyster. Great Barrington, Vt.—William Mar tin, a resident of this place, argued for about fifteen minutes with his wife to determine whether he should eat oys ters raw, fried, or stewed. He won the battle and started in to clean up the dish, the bivalves being raw. When he struck about the sixth his teeth crunched, he yelled, leaped from the table, and then found he had bit a pearl which may be worth several hundred dollars, according ,to local jewelers. If he'd had the oysters stewed he probably wouldn't have had the pearl. Weigh 188 Between 'Em.

Mr. West was for one term mayor of this city. Mrs. West is a comely little woman. Her maiden name was Jennie Patterson, and she met her husband some months ago thru mutual friends who had noticed their nearness in size. Man Dies Rich in Poorhouse. Worcester, Mass.—When the author ities of the Worcester poor farm wrapped up the clothing, preparatory to burning it, of Fergus Barry, a civil war veteran, who died in the poorhouse yesterday, they found. uncashed pen sion checks from the government amounting to $1,700.

W By ROBERTUS LOVB. AH broke out lu the United States navy only a few days offer the great fleet of six teen battleships sailed for the Pacific. Ilnppiiy the wnr Is being fought in the bureaus at Washington and with words instead of Bwords. The outcome may he nothing more than lot of talking, and it may be a complete reorganization of the nnvy. The war opened when Rear Admiral Willard II. Brownson flred at Presi dent Roosevelt Ills resignation as chief of the bureau of navigation, a highly lmportaut naval post. The president fired back an acceptance, Immediately appointing Commander Camerou Mc Rue Winslow to succeed Brownson temporarily and later giving the per manent post to Captain .lotin IS. Pills bury. With Brownson's resignation the Oifhtln.i began along the whole line, chiefly from masked batteries, becnusie officers of the navy cannot stand In the open and fight In an af fair or this kind without making them •elves liable to court martial. And right here may be found a basic reason for the weakness of the Amer ican navy, if it is weak, as charged in the indictment. Admiral Brownson resigned because Surgeon General Presley M. Rixey of the uuvy. with the president's approv al, insisted upon the appointment of a doctor to command a ship In the serv ice. To be sure. It Is not a lighting chip. It Is a hospital ship, useful after a fight and frequently quite handy aft er a frolic. Or. Stokes, the naval sur geou who is to command the hospital ship Relief, is educated In medicine and surgery, but what he does not know about navigating a ship is ob vlous. Admiral Brownson, who Is back ed up by the rest of the officers whose education is technically naval, holds tlint no man should command a ship who lacks knowledge of navigation. Back of this Is the old of the line versus the staff. Line officers are will ing to take pills from staff officers pro vided the latter be competent physi cians, but they dislike to take orders from doctors. They have been educat ed to believe that a ship's captaiii should be able to navigate a ship. Fine Ftiss Stirred Up. The incident of Admiral Brownson's resignation has stirred up a fine fuss In the administration department of the navy. Outsiders are taking a hand in the discussion, and congress probably will devote more or less time to a con sideration of the navy's needs. The country at large has discovered that the navy is run by a bunch of bu reaus with headquarters at Washing ton, with frequent clandestine quar rels between the bureaus. Now a de mand arises that bureaucracy be elimi nated for the good of the navy. The most surprising feature of the present controversy is one that has no zine by Ilenry Reuterdahl. associate of the United States naval institute, who undertakes to tell what our navy needs to make it an effective fighting force. Mr. Reuterdahl makes the amazing assertion that the great ships of our navy, at sight of which we doff our h:its in :nve and which we have believed to be the finest and fittest fighting craft afloat, are really anti quated sea structures, not at all up to date, lacking iu the primary essentials of construction for taking care of themselves while doing damage to an enemy's vessels and iu many respects sel! new notions to foreign nations. Then, some years afterward, our naval bureaus adopt the.be innovations after i-' direct connection with the protest of bidden to make public any opinion or Admiral Brownson. It is an article In expression .concerning any policy or the currejit issue of a leading ruaga-i person lu the navy or in the depart having seen them iu successful use ii\ foreign warships. This puts American fighting ships five years behind I lie times. Mr. lteuterdnhl declares thai this Is so because the bureau system "ns at present constituted insists on doing nil Its work itself except In some isolated Instances, livery little specifi cation must be worked out by a bu reau. The taker of a contract In the nnvy department cannot use Ills brains at all. He must simply follow out these specifications mechanically." Coming right on the heels of our glo rious fleet's departure, these astound ing criticisms were calculated to stir up hornels' nest, and they have done so. If our battleships, which c««t us a matter of $10,000,000 apiece, are only beautiful baubles of Junk propelled by steam, of course all of us want to know it and to know the reason why. If these deficiencies, granting for ar gument's sake that they exist, are due to the naval constructor's Jealousy of the rank outsider, the people want to know that too. They want to know just why It Is that American Inven tions must be imported from abroad "after taking." Public Protests Barred. It is quite well understood thnt 1n the naval bureuus, as elsewhere in the service, there are ofncers who private ly deplore the methods pursued In building and equlpplug vessels of wnr. But these me'j have padlocks on their mouths when anybody is In hearing. They are not |ermitted to express tin opinion which possibly might reflect opon the wisdom of some one higher up. no matter how sure thai- may be totally unfit to cope with the battle ships of other nations. Mr. Reuterdnhl also severely arraigns the bureau sys tem, which be holds responsible for these alleged mistakes In construction, and earnestly recommends an advisory board. Says Mr. Reuterdahl: "What is needed Is quite clear. The secretary of the navy, being a civilian, generally with a short term of office, must have expert advisers. There must be a board behind him whose opinion he Is legally authorized by con gress to accept This board, in the first place, must know exactly the views of the actual seagoing service. In the sec ond place, it must have no band itself In carrying out the details of Its own advice. It must delegate this to oth ers. Every country in the world but ours has a body of this kind at the head of its nnvy, and It Is this which President Roosevelt in 1903 recom mended that congress provide for ours." Criticisms of Guns and Armor. As to construction, Mr. Reuterdnhl declares that the guns tn our shlpB are placed too low to do effective shooting, particularly 1n rough Beas. The pro tective armor, he says, is chiefly below the water line, whereas it should ex tend up to cover exposed parts. This critic lays Btress upon the fact that the gun turrets are placed directly above the powder magazines, with an open ing from turret to magazine, so that in the heat of action there is great dan ger of the ship blowing Itself up by sparks dropping Into the magazine. He cites several instances of disasters from this very cause during gun prac tice. According to this authority, Ameri can Inventive genius is Ignored. Our inventors, unable to get their Ideas adopted by our navy, go abroad and of their own ground. The bureau sys tem has been the growth of years. It Is a machine, an automaton, working along the lines of least resistance, and the belts which control its wheels aro made of red tape. Article 252 of the navy regulations Is the padlock. Under this regulation any officer of the navy or any em ployee of the navy department Is for- ment. Under the working of this reg ulation let us suppose that a certain officer knows absolutely that the con struction of a ship is faulty, that the pattern is archaic, that the craft will be as perilous to its own crew as to an enemy. Ho must keep his opinions on the subject padlocked. He must make no public protest. That is the situation in the American navy and navy department today. IIow does it happen? Red tape. During the early days of the civil war Secretary Gideon Welles of the navy department the benevolent look ing old gentleman with the chin whisk ers whose likeness we observe in the history books, promulgated the. order. '®2.- •,'i* J- «-£W* "x iM -I' ft was a wise order for wartime, in asmuch as many merchant mariner* were becoming naval officers in flu emergency, und some of them were In dined to talk too much. The war closed, the reason for regulation fvo. 2r.'J passed away, but the regulation re maincd. It remnins still, t'lidei1 its Influence as a curber of protest It is concolvable that an insane man lu authority might build a battleship out of cheese, with funnels of butter, and send the craft on a cruise to equa torial heat, England's Opposite Course. Protest Is now raised against articlo 252 of the navy regulations. It Is stated by those Informed on the sub ject that Great Britain innkes a spe cial effort to bnve her naval officers express opinions on points of vital interest to the navy. That Is the op posite course to ours. In recent years a considerable quan tity of official red tape has been reeled up and thrown overboard at Washing ton. The general intention Beems to be to make each governmental depart ment as businesslike ns possible, hold ing fast to thnt which is good, but tak ing that which is not good by the nape of (he neck apd chucking It into outer darkness. Of course It is quite possible to go too fast and too far in this, but with the general public discussion which follows or accompanies every reform to serve as a balance wheel tho chances are thnt no irretrievable mistakes will be made. Now that the president and influential members of congress on l»oth sides of the partisan fence have expressed their determina tion to reorganize the navy it is to be hoped thnt tho padlock will be taken off the mouths of those on the Inside. But even If it be true, as charged, that our battleships are more Impos ing thun formidable—and the charge remains to be proved—the American mnnhood nboard them stacks up quite favorably with the human element in any other navy, and Mr. Reuterdahl's plain language is not likely to Invite an attack from a foreign power. DIRE DISASTERS TO COME. J. F. rowel I Thinks American Specu lation Will Lead to Anarchy. Revolution In America which will make the French revolution look like a tempest In a teapot, the confiscation of great wealth and estates wrongfully ac quired and general chaos as a result of abnormal nnd unsound speculation were recently predicted at Chicago by Dr. J. F. Crowell, once associate editor of the Wall Street Journal and chair man of the social and economic section of tho American Association For the Advancement of Science, says a Chi cago dispatch to the New York Sun. After considering the field of legiti mate speculation, which, he said, did not include the domain of manufac tures, agriculture, transportation and banking, Mr. Crowell said: "The encroachment of the specula tive spirit upon these Industrial and commercial fields spells danger. The leaders of great enterprises today probably do not adequately appreciate the smoldering fury of the discontent which their own management of busi ness has steadily lengendefed in the hearts of a thinking populace. "There are dangers In this direction which the hogglshness of corporate greed has done more than anything else to bring to a crisis In American so ciety. "The statement attributed to R. T. Crane to the effect that conditions in the United States parallel those before the French revolution Is true, with this difference—that the French revolution was a tempest in a teapot compared with what might happen here in America." Still Ahead. A congressman says he was riding in a smoking car on a little one track road and In the seat In front of him sat a Jewelry drummer. He was one of those wide ijwake, never-let-any one-get-the-better-of-him style of men. Tresently the train stopped to take on water, and the conductor neglected to send back a flagman. A limited ex press, running at a rate of ten miles an hour, came along and bumped the rear end of the first train. The drum mer was lifted from his seat and pltcl* ed head first against the seat ahead. His silk hat was jammed clear down over his ears. He picked himself np and settled back In his seat. No bones had been broken. Then he pulled off his hat, drew a long breath and, straightening up, said: "Hully geel Weil, they didn't get by us anyway!" Got His Wish. At the height of their nightly quar rel the other day Mrs. Blank choked back a sob and said reproachfully: "I was reading one of your old let ters today, James, and you said in it that you would rather live In endless torment with me than In bliss by your self." "Well, I got my wish," Blank growled. Garantized Oils. The following advertisement of olive oil is the work of a Rio Janeiro firm: "Ours olives oils have garantized of fitts quality.

GRAND JURY BEGINS Starts Its Investigations for the Term This Afternoon Objection is En tered to Grand Jury Panel J. O. DeButts Made Foreman—Prisoners Brought Into Court. The first grand jury of the year wa3 selected, instructed and began its in vestigations for the term this after noon. Incidental to its convening the prisoners who are held in jail awaiting the grand jury, were brought into court for the purpose of objecting to any members of the jury. The seven jurors selected for the term were J. O. DeButts, of Logan township, who was appointed foreman B. C. Whitehill, State Center D. H. Paul, Jefferson William Stiipton, Ma rion: W. A. Ellis. Washington W. E. W'iiliains, Linn, and Jason A^offal!., lowe. The prisoners brought before the jury were Owen Ball, charged with re ceiving stolen property James Ryan, larceny, and Fred Kuehnel and Nels Ludnberg, for breaking and entering the city scales house. When Ball's case was called his at torney read into the records a technical objection to the entire grand jury panel, also the grand jury list from which the present jury was selected. This objection is based on ail inter pretation of the statute which desig nates the manner in which grand jury panels shall be selected by the board of supervisors, when they have not been chosen in the ordinary manner by the election boards. The statute is in effect that the panel must be drawn in the years fo which it is to be used. The present panel was drawn in De cember, 1907, for use during 1JL08. The objection was overruled. No other objections were entered to ei'lier the panel or individual members the jury. Fur Coats Sell Cheap. M. F. Andrews is making a clean sweep and offers all fur coats at lowest prices.

There oft the pilgrim's musing gaze Will linger 011 Hie votive stone That mutely tells to future days Thy power and charm forever flown.

This is so sudden? Well enough I know That's but pretense, Not innocence. How many times I've said that—years ago! Don't beat about the bush and say, "I'll see"— I don't want that! Just answer pat.

Speaking of Florence Nightingale and her efforts to keep the world healthy,, it seems pertinent to make special mention of her mission In be half of the open window at night. In the early years of her labors much un intelligent opposition to this method of ventilation because of the supposed harmfulness of the night air was ex pressed, but Miss Nightingale had one stock argument In support of her posi tion, it being the question, "What air shall we breathe at night but night air?" It was unanswerable from her opponents' point of view, even If It did not always convert them, but it did lead a countless number into saner ways of living and along the way to the present methods of treating tuber culosis.—Boston Transcript. mEl M^RK, OF$aLlflft£lTY MAJflCKARPare-CnMPANi I 'fs-y 1 £j What Men Wear IT MAY BE THAT YOU'RE A LITTLE PERPLEXED A8 TO WHAT WOULD GIVE YOU BEST SERVICE IN THE MAT- TER OF CLOTHES.

Offiee, 16 Wast Main 8treet, MARSHALLTOWN IOWA A "Vt Mollie Arnold, Chini Operator ot Marshall Telephone Co. is Mrs. Swalt'.ji'd WAS MARRIED LAST AUGUST At Ottumwa, Unknown to Parents or Friends, She Became the Bride of Frank M. Swafford, of Nevada—Other Operators in Office Have Been Ignor ant of Fact Ever Since. Altho she has been addressed by lier girl friends and co-workers as" Miss Arnold, and the chief operator at the Marshall Telephone Company's ex change has been answering to that name, it developed today that Miss Mollie Arnold is no lon^S Miss Arnold but Mrs. Frank M. Swafford. Her husband is a young man living at Ne vada, and her secret marriage to him was performed at Ottumwa on Au gust 20 last. During all the time since she became Mrs. Swafford the young bride has been attending to her duties as chief, operator in the telephone exchange and her many friends 'have been complete ly ignorant of the wedding. In fact, Mrs. Swafford, in admitting her mar riage to the Times-Republican today, said that the girls at the office were as yet ignorant of the fact of her mar riage, as she had never told them, and no one had ever so much as intimated to her that her marriage was sus pected. Out of Town for News. Of course Mrs. Swaftord was as anx ious to know how the newspaper man had "got wise" as the latter was to have her confirm the truth of the story. It was a case ol' going out of town for the ne\?Si and in this instance it ap pears very much as tho it was the man who could not keep the secret, as the information emanated from Ne vada, the home of Mr. Swafford. Mr. Swafford is a son of H. L. Swaf ford, a well known lumberman of Ne vada. He was formerly employed as a compositor on the Nevada Journal, but during more recent months worked on the Reflector, in this city, as an adver tising solicitor. At present he is in Nevada. Mrs. Swafford is a daughter of Cap tain L. G. Arnold, of 404 North First avenue, and is well known in the. city. The family lived for many years In LeGrand, where Captain Arnold was one of the early residents. Mrs. Swafford said today that the future plans of herself and husband were not definite, but that she expect ed they would go west, either to Spo kane or Seattle, in the hope that" her health would be benefited by a change of climate. At present Mrs. Swafford is confined to her father's home, suff r ing from the effects of a vaccinated arm. She does not expect to return to h"r duties at the telephone exchange, where she has been employed for the pas*, four years. MARSHALLTOWN ILLUSTRATED. 8hows the Best Things \f the City And There Are Many of Them. •From the Nevada Representative: "The Marshalltown Thnes-Republi can got out a very fine business edition for the holidays, Illustrating the best things that Marshalltown has to offer. There are many such things, and the representation of them was most cred itable. The effect is complimentary to both the town and the newspaper." From the Nevada Journal: IMarshalltown Illustrated' is the name of a -special magazine number published by the Times-Republican people, under the supervision of the Marshalltown Retail Merchants' asso elation. It is one of the finest pre pared editions of the sort ever pub lished in the state. The ipublication Is fifty pages and cover, the press work Is of the highest order and the reading matter carefully prepared. It treats upon tho commercial, educa tional, church and social interests of the town and covers the field fully.',' From the Carroll Herald: "The Times-Republican recently published a special edition which shows Marshalltown to be one of the important business centers of the state. Incidentally it may be remarked that It Is a city of numerous beautiful homes, as shown by the T.-R. special edition. It is a good city, tout its news paper has always been ahead 6f the town in the matter of enterprise and state prominence." MOVE BACK TO MARSHALLTOWN. L. S.

Jan. 7.—We hear nothing but words of praise for the new magazine, "Mar shalltown Illustrated," issued recently by the T.-R. as a supplement. As a speclment of up-to-date advertising it is certainly a "hummer." Rev.

Chas. E. Hite who, at one time, was landlord of the Alexander house, but who now resides at Esthervllle, visit ed his mother, Mrs. Rebecca Hite, and other relatives here Saturday and Sun day.

The- special 'branch of the court will be held in tlic east court room for the purpose of trying the paving case brought by Mrs. Frances S. Mor gan against the city.

By agreement at the last term of court it was determ ined to have this case come up soon after the January term opened, and Judge Bradshaw consented to come to hear it. Judge Parker was formerly Interested in some of Jhe paving cases as an attorney, and for that reason was disqualified from presiding at the hearing. The case Is but one of thirty-three that axe still on the court docket. With others It has been thru various stages of litigation, including a trip to the federal court, where It was sent back to the district court for trial. Like all of the others, the case was brought to resist the collection of the special tax, assessment for asphalt paving on Fourth avenue, abutting the Morgan property. The claims set up In the petition are based' chiefly on an alleged non-com pliance with the" contract, It being claimed that neither the material used nor the work was up to specifications.

Shannon, a veteran of the soldiers' home from Des Moines, died at 4:30 Monday afternoon at the home hospital of Hodgkin's disease. The malady, which is seldom found In la ter life, makes the cause of death somewhat unusual. The disease at tacks the lymphatic glands, and the patient suffered intensely for some time preceding the end. Mr. Shannon was a native of Mc Donough county, Illinois, and-was born March 4, 1842. He entered the home on November 6 last. Shannon saw his service during- the civil war with Company I, Seventy-eighth Illinois In fantry, having enlisted at Industry, 111., Sept. 1, 1862. He was discharged June 7, 1865, at Washington, D. C.^The de ceased was a widower, and is survived by two sons, Alfred and Sidney Shan non, of Sac City. Both have been no tified.'

The Best People in Marshalltown, Say McBride A Will—Guaranteed in Catarrhal Troubles. No other remedy or treatment for catarrh has ever been as popular or made bo many remarkable cures In Marshalltown as Hyomel. The best people attest Us curative virtues, say McBride Will, who are the local agents. The fair way In which Hye-Vci was sold, to refund the money utiles it gave satisfaction, was the best proof when It was Introduced that it possessed unusual curative powers. McBride Will took all the risk of the treatment giving satisfac tion, and left it to the purchasers to be the judge. .Later, when Hyomel was used and recommended by our well-known phys icians and business men and their wives as a treatment that absolutely cured catarrh, no matter how serlops or long standing, the sales rapidly grew and today there Is no other remedy In McBride Will's stock that has such a large and staple sale. The first breath of Hyomei's healing air kills all catarrhal poison. Try Hyomel today on McBride Will's offer to refund- the money if the treatment does not give you satisfac tion.

A branch library Is to be established at the Railroad Y. M. C. A., which had made a request for It. It is thought that tho Y. M. C.

The stranger had been searching nearly half an hour among the myster lous curving ways of the Park for Fenway street. At last the trim figure of a hurrying student attracted her eye and she re solved to ask for the necessary infor maticn. "Can you tell me, please, where Fen way street is?" she asked.

The higher officers of the forte are all Americans, and those un der the rank of captain are mostly Porto Utcans. The unlisted men are all natives of the Island. This force does not perform police duty, and its military service is not strenuous. But the general opinion seems to be that the effect of the maintenance ot the little amy has been most beneficial. It is the only military torce in the island except a small bodv of United States marines, and it is perhaps well In Keep this bodv ol trained and disciplined troops readv for an emergene. is said that the Porto Hican regiment is recruited in the interior, from the poorest and most indifferent class of 'the population, and that military ser\ I ice has improved them morally, intel lectually and industrially.

McBride Will Drug Co. -s 1 1 Receipts Light Enontrli For •Sellers to Ask Steady Trices lor Holdings HOGS GENERALLY TEN LOWER The Market Was Weak Owing to Heavy Receipts, Especially at River Chicago, Jan. 7.—Cattle were active and tirm. Steers were scarce and stockers strong. Calves were 25 cents higher. Receipts were light enough to enable sellers to ask steady prices for their holdings, and it was evident that supplies would be cleaned up before the close. 'Never saw such a good cattle mar ker, considering the number offered," said a salesman Monday, and this sen timent was endorsed by the majority of traders. It was a lively, buojant trade all day, and in spite ot the big receipts, business was on a good, llrm basis. Not before in years has the market acted so agreeubly under the pressure of such tremendous receipts. Last week even a moderate suppl was quite sufficient to turn the tide In favor of the buyer, and nearly every d.iv the market closed with the early advance lost. On that account, when sellers looked at the bulletin this morning and saw the total of 34,000 thev were prepared lor the worst, and naturally expected to be forced into concessions. Buyers were out so ear ly, however, and acted so eager that sellers were not long in discerning that there was something doing. Or ders were extensive all along the line, and competition was exceptionally keen for everything. Hoga. Hogs were weak and generally 10c lower than the best tlmo of the previ ous session. Receipts were heavy, showing a run of about 40,000, and making a two days' total of 105,000, or 36,00 more than wore on the market the same time last week. Receipts at the river markets were excessively heavy. When a load of hogs weighing 300 lbs or better show up in market cir cles now It enjoys unquestioned popu larity. Killers are detected In the act of scrambling to get possession of weight and sidestepping stuff lacking In that quality. Stock yard atmosphere is redolent of prediction that lard will go to a premium and the long proces sion of immature stuff surging In from the country makes the argument plausible. Pigs weighing 80 to 130 lbs are conspicuous in the run and pack ers, altho inclined to bluff for lower prices, got very busy whenever out siders manifested a disposition to buy. Competition centers on weight now and the heavier hogs are the moro popularity they enjoy.

Chicago. Jan. 7.—An air of optimism pervades the cuttle trade. There is a belief In selling circles that within a few weeks heavy liquidation will have ceased and that there will be a bet ter price level in conseqnence. While there is a general rush to unload the high-priced feeders, however, pros pects for materially better prices do not seem favorable. Altho beef stocks are not of heavy volume at present, slaughterers are bent on operating rather sparingly. Consumptive demand Is not broadening much, since the poul try outlet is smaller and there Is a general inclination among slaughterers to hold down the prices for steers as long as possible. The big drop in values which they forced in the closing months of 1907 has brought about a most appreciable state of affairs from the buyers' point of view, even tho it affected heaviest losses in many months upon cattle feeders. The buyers have made strenuous efforts to hold down prices in late weeks and, on the whole, suc ceeded well. Big runs have met ev ery 25-eent advance In the market and buyers were thus In a position to bowl over the advanced prices. They have put down almost every little advance within a week after it had been put into force. Heavy liqui dation of cattle helped them greatly, hls in money to put stuff to away In cellars, there will be some thing doing. Sheep. Kansas City Live Stock. Kansas City, Jan. 7.

(Detroit News-Tribune) An analysis of the report issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor, made by experts, supports the statement that the labor of this coun try has been unmistakably impaired, because more capital was required per wage-earner, a larger superintending force was required for the sam£ num ber of workers, and still the net value of the product shows a decrease. These statements are not made in a tone of criticism. It Is quite possible that tlie first word to the effect that they de scribe a real condition will come from the wage-earner himself, altho he may ascribe various causes for It. It seems to be human nature to grow slouchy and arrogant in the face of plenty and only do his best work when adversity is pending. J? f- voters. "Not since the war have party lines hung so loosely, and this is the natur­ tire public thru import duties, and the railroads levy tribute upon the whole country thru extortionate rates. We have had selfishness enthroned in law or selfishness defying the law until the average man has become the vic tim of injustice practiced on every hand." Four hundred guests were present at the gathering of the Jacksonian club at its celebration last night. Other speakers besides Mr. Bryan were for mer Governor C. S. Thomas of Colo rado, Congressman Hltclicook of Oma ha, former United States Senator Will iam V. Allen of Nebraska and S. J. Dunn of Omaha, C. J. Smythe, former secretary of state, was toastmaster. He congrat ulated the democrats of the country on their opportunities and predicted the election of Mr. Bryan to the high est office in the gift of the people. j..t Bryan to Cut All Frills From Convention Resolutions and Fight For "Equal Rights" MORAL AWAKENING OK VOTERS Republican Party Leaders Blind as Pharaoh to Conditions Confronting the Masses, He Declares Nebras kan Talks of Roosevelt's Alleged Omaha, Neb., Jan. 7.—W. J. Bryan, addressing tne Jucksonlan banqueters here last night, discussed tho issues from the democratic viewpoint. He said that "equal rights to all and spe cial privileges to none would be a good enough platform for the democ racy this year. He said in part: "People differ as to the relative Im portance of the different issues, some placing trusts lirst, some regarding the tariff question as paramount, and oth ers believing the railroad question most important. But the fact is they all point to the same issue, and that those who take the people's side on one of these questions are likely to take the people's side on either of tho other iwo. In a inul111title of ways the moral sentiment is munllesting Itself, and un less the signs of the tiniMS are nils- leading there is going to be a return to the Jefforsonlan and Jucksonlan platform: "Equal rights lo all and special privileges to none.' "For years the republican leaders supported their policies by adroit ap peals to the Interests of the different classes, and with a press subservient to predatory wealth they deceived and deluded many voters. They are not prepared to defend their position on any public question before the bar of the public conscience. Some of the more independent of the republicans realize this and are uttering words of warning, but the republican leaders are as blind as Pharoah. "No question Is ever settled until the moral element In the question is discussed and decided nothing but a moral issue—that is, an issue involving- Andrew Jack- that his heart Is right and that ha means well. This is only an indication of public attitude. Another indication Both Presbyterian#, (Philadelphia North American.) The late Rev. Dr. John Hall was once walking home from preaching at a Sunday night meeting out In the coun try. In the moonlight he saw a man lying drunk in the gutter, and, going up to him, gave him a shake. "Here," he said, "it's a shame for a nice, respectable looking man like you to be lying in the gutter." The man opened his tipsy eyes and saw the long, black coat. "Are you a minister?" he asked. "Yes," said Dr. Hall "come, get up." "Presbyterian?" 'queried the Inebri ate. "Yes," was the answer, somewhat impatiently. "I am." "Then," said the other, "help me up. I'm a Presbyterian myself." Coal Mine Le gislation Needed. (Boston Globe.) The United States has failed thus fax to make adequate provision by law for the safeguarding of the mines. While other countries have been acting in this matter, the United States has neglected it for many years. It is con ceded that generally the explosions of coal dust and fire damp are brought about either by ignition from explo sives used in mining or from miners' lamps. Both of these causes ha%fe re ceived careful study at the foreign testing station, and the result of the legislation which has followed has pre the death rate has been greatly de creased. The sooner congress passes legislation on this subject in accord ance with suggestions contained in this valuable report, the better it will be for all concerned In coal mining. 4 ]V \v V1 vi^i Heien Gould's Charities. Chicago, Jan. t.—(Kditor of the Tri bune)—No American can read the last year's list of gifts to school and char itable work which you print this mor ning without a thrill of pride. Miss Helen (iotild. Mr. Rockefeller, and Mr. Carnegie have for some years now made it popular tor millionaires to give large sums for the betterment of the world instead of wasting theiri on personal fads and follies. And largely lliru this Influence there is no country in the world thai can compare with this in its munificent outpouring of money to educate as well shrdlu '11 ol money to educate and uplifht the people of other cpnutries as well as those of our own. Hut yotir list of benefactions, almost labulous as it is in amount and gath ered with such painstaking care, must omit many American contributions lnr school and charitable work. For ex ample, it does not include a number of gifts which I know Aiiss Gould made during the last year. No one would know of these unless the fact were disclosed by thse who received them. Tho writer visited last winter a num ber of the schools where Miss Gould had been but a short time before and was Informed that she gave $5,000 to the American School for Girls at Lux or, Egypt $r,,000 (o the American col lege at Assiout, Egypt: $5,000 to the American schools at Cairo consider able sums (the amount of which I did not learn) to the American schools at. Jerusalem and Damascus $2,000 to 53t. Paul's institute at Tarsus Asia Minor: and $1,000 each to Mrs. Marden's school at Stamboul, to Robert college and to the American college for gi-ls at Constantinople. These sums are quite apart from the $10,000 which you report Miss Gould gave Lo the Amer ican College for Girls in December. Miss Gould is, to my mind, the best example we have of. intelligent and generous giving. She not onlv gives I lier money but she gives herself. Tn every case examined she had before contributing gone into the usefulness and need of the scnool with the uL most care. Harsh Words for "The Gf!p." (From the Washington. D. C.. Heraid.) Ugh!
