Ber ryhill, of this city, stated to some of his close political friends the other day that under no condition can a man known to be friendly to Cummins be a beam of 95 feet. The Increased cost elected to the legislature from Polk county this year. He announced that of the locks Taft estimated to be about $5,000,000. Representative Kelly and Representa tive Sullivan, both of whom have de clared their intention of asking for re election, and both of whom are not serving their first terms, are marked f^r slaughter. He furthermore stated that if the republicans nominate Cummins men the standpatters of Polk county will turn in and elect the dem ocratic nominees. Thus are the lines drawn in Polk county on the senatorial question. Some time ago Governor Cummins stated that he proposed to stand by the primaries. He stated that he in terpreted the primary law as to Unit- Primary, if he got more than per cent, was the nominee of the party, and that the legislature should be elected without regard to the United States senatorship, and that the leg islature should elect the nominee of the party. Senator Allison followed with a declaration accepting this in terpretation of the law. m', Unknown incendiary Responsible for |50,000 Loss to 8econd Congregation* -al Church of Dorcheater, Maa»v—Ne^i.jS(yjnpat},|i!jer- from the attitude he $25,000 Pip* Organ Destroyed. Junes G. Berryhill is an Allison has taken it 14 presumed that disre garding the'declared "wishes of both Allison and Cummins, the Allison men propose 'to utterly disregard the law and make the fight on the members of the legislature. Every Cummins man will be marked for slaughter at the polls and every Allison man elect ed. This view is substantiated by the declarations of the Dubuque Times Journal and other standpat newspa pers. Following the declaration of Senator Allison, the Times-Journal de clared that Allison's interpretation of the law could not fix the attitude of his friends, who would reserve the right to act as they wished. Other standpat newspapers too'k the same attitude and it is not known that any of them have changed their attitude. Congressman Hepburn, according to authentic information that reaches this city from the Eighth district, has promised to Speaker Cannon, of the house of representatives of congress, the two delegates from the Eighth congressional district to the republi can national convention. It is un derstood that "there is already some resentment On the part of his con stituents over this promise of Con gressman Hepburn and some of the republicans In that district are de claring their favoritism for other can didates. It is understood that neither Judge Towner nor Bob Spence, both of whom are standpatters, are fpr Cannon, and both have declared that the district shall not go for Cannon. There are quite a number of progres sives in the Eighth district, and none of these are for Cannon. There are some very favorable re ports from the reservation territory as to the attitude of the republicans on United States senator. The best of in formation is that some of the coun ties heretofore classed as hopelessly benighted and Blythe-ridden are pre paring to give a big vote to Cummins for senator at the primaries next June. The progressive principles of Roose velt and Cummins have had a hard time in the reservation country due to the fact that the newspapers uni formly misrepresent these policies and withhold all real information from their readers. Notwithstanding all .this there is the best of information that In Clarke county Ringgold, and even Van Buren there is going to he a big Cum mins vote. Ex-Congressman John F. Lacey will endeavor to name both of the deputy United States Marshals to succeed Crafts and Lyons who have resigned.

They live in the saime county. Talk of Herriott as a candidate will either hasten Jones in coming out or else it won't.

They will make a hard campaign for Wilson.

It happened thus: Mr. Barrie returned to his rooms one day and, discovered his page boy puff ing hard at a .dirty clay pipe.

And so he went on till he had deliv ered a long and what he believed to be a telling lecture. A day or two later the youth left without notice^ and shortly afterward Mr. Barrie brought some frlenjs to his flat.

You can imagine his chagrin when he discovered that the cigars had vanished, and in their place was the page boy's clay pipe and the following note: "Dear Sir: I agree with you that it Is bad for a boy to smoke twist. .1 will not smoke any more twist till I have finished your cigars."

Refusal of Black Hawk County to Kecognize Normal Certifi cates May CauSe Lawsuits PASSED THE EXAMINATION As Outgrowth of State Superintend 1 1 N I l~ ent's Ruling Miaa Creafler Paid Fees to Home County—Controversy Out- growth of Row Precipitated by Sup- arintendent Elliott of Black Hawk. syu v« Special to Tlmee-Republlcan. Cedar Falls, Jan. 16.—-The controver sy over' teachers' examination tees started some time ago by Superlntend ent Elliott, of the county schools, and Btate Superintendent Riggs promises to finally land in the courts. Elliott claimed all the fees 'or examinations within the county, bit a second ex amlning board was authorised at tho state normal school and the state su perintendent iield that the fees should go to the county from which the teacher came. Recently Mr. Elliott re fused to register certificates Issued by the normal board, and suits for dam ages are threatened. The Cedar Falls Record says "Miss Mary Creager, of Franklin county, was a student ait the State Normal school. She was in no man ner subject to the whims W cranki ness of County Superintendent Elliott when she, along 'with a hundred oth ers, took the state examination for '•'''Certificates. She passed successfully "and remitted her dollar-to tihe county superintendent of Franklin county as 7 provided-f&r in the instructions from the superintendent of pwblic instruc tlon, baeked%/ the authority of the attorney genial of Iowa. She pur .sued exactly the same course as did t4 the t'eachers from the other nlnety eight counties of the state. Last fall {'-she secured a school In Spring Creek •4 township, Black Hawk county, het .father, Mr. Albert Creager, and fam vily, having mov^d to "Waterloo from Franklin county. M!ss Creager pre A sented her certificate t" County Su perintendent Elliott, at Waterloo, for registration, and with tendered a big silver dollars. That of cl refused to .register the certificate becs'Jse the lady ^passed the examination ait the Normal %s school, under the direction of Presl dent Seerley, who Is a member of the state board of examiners. Acting upon the advice of the state superintendent and of President Seerley the lady took witness with her and made a second tender of a dollar. Tljls was again re fused. County Superintendent Elliott then""rote to the president of the school board in Spring Creek township 'and warned him not to employ Miss •Creager As It would be unlawful. Up? on the receipt of this official lnforma tlon the school board of Spring Creek refused the lady the school and as a result she has been deprived of the emoluments of a position because or the unlawful action of the county of -fldal. It Is understood that an attor ney has been consulted who has care fully gone over the case and he gives It as his unbiased opinion thait the county Superintendent and his bonds men are responsible for the salary that would have accrued had not the young lady been deprived of her position be cause of the pedantjc ruling. "Another young lady was refused the proper official courtesy. She had a position in the schools of East Watery loo. She, too took a witness and went into the presence of &e super intendent, tendered again iafS^om of the realm, but was again told to get off" the earth. The school board In Waterloo simply smiled when "the case was presented fpr consideration, and told the young lady to proceed with her work according to contract. 4- Up to date she has drawn her salary regularly but the superintendent has stated that he will put an end to Ohe matter and bring suit to recover from the school board the, money illegally paid out. These are but a sample of numerous cases." 1 VOTIN® MACHINES EN ROUTE. Ten Now On Their Way,From James town. N. Y., to Waterloo. 8peclaJ to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican. Sioux City, Jan. 16.—Helen U. Mar tin's heroine In "His Courtship," finds a counterpart In a young woman of this city. Brought hure from England by her father nearly twenty-two years ago, when she was less than 2 years old, and left In tho care of a fanner's family near Sioux City, Miss Nellie Ingham now lias every reason to be lieve that she is one of the heiresses to an English estate amounting to $100,000. An action In the Woodbury county district court to prove her identity was commenced today by Judge A. Van Wagenen and the hear ing will probubly bo taken up this term. During the corn palace days of 1883 a poorly (Mad Englishman carrying a scantily clothed little girl In his arms went Into a grocery store and asked If any one there could recommend a home for his little daughter. He gave his name as John Ingham, Jr., and that of the girl as Nellie. The girl was given over to the Louis Pag gar family, farmers near Sioux City, and she lived there until about 18 years old. Then she went out to mako ber own living. The father worked for a time In the old St. Elmo hotel, then disappeared. He gave the Impression that the girl's another had died In England and said nothing about the relatives Of the fam ily. A few years ago word came that he had been working on a railroad In the west and later came news of his death. A few months ago a firm of solicitors In Liverpool wrote A. Van Wagenen concerning the estate of John Ingham, gentleman, of Fullwood, In Fullwood, county of Lancaster, England, and asked that he advertise for the daugh ter of John Ingham, Jr. The result of the search made by Judge Van Wagen en was the discovery of Miss Nellie Ingham, who was working as a hired girl in a Norfolk, Neb., family, under the name of Paggar, the name of her foster parents. After, locating this probable heiress a letter was received from a Mrs. Somers, who with her husband is now running an automobile roadhouse a short distance out of London, and she stated that she was the, former wife of Ingham and mother of the girl. It developed that Ingham, Jr., had bor rowed (tulte heavily from the trustees of the estate of his father and the £20,000 had diminished quite consid erably by reason of the loans. After the hearing on the identity of Miss Paggar-Ingham here it is prob able that she will go to England and claim her estate in the courts there. Those who are said to have known her and who are named as witnesses In the petition are Henry Metz, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Waddington, Julia Fachinan and Joseph Paggar. GRAVE CHARGE AGAIN8T YOUTH.

EASTERN OFFICE It. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick tuilding, New York, N. Y. FAILURES HAVE BEEN FEW. The crisis of the business panic: has come and gone and yet business fail ures have been so scarce the country over as to indicate unusual stability and soundness in our commercial structure. There will yet be a far ther contraction In the volume of bus iness transactions due to a limiting of credit lirst at the banks and subse quently In terms of sale, but financiers generally agree that the worst is over so far as monetary stringency Is con cerned. Almost no failures of great mercan tile institutions have been recorded and the soundness of national, sitnt® and savings banks has been something remarkable. The failures of national, state and savings banks were less numerous than in 3893 and the lia bilities were only $39,201,694. as against J68,687,904 in that year, but disasters among trust companies have been the feature of this pontic. Lia bilities of $118,000,000 were involved in them and in practically all the cases were due either to rascality on the part of officers or to the*lack of laws requiring an adequate roserve to be kept on hand to guarantee de posits. If our trust companies, which do a banking business, were subjected to the same requirements as to re serves and inspection as banks are, the Hntincial failures of this panic would have been so small as t) toy that a real panic had existed, .f The financial situation Is easier, now, however. Many great manufacturing plants are .resuming operations and general businesk steadily recovering from the shock of recent falluies. It will require some time for business men to resume their optimism, but with the mills' resuming there will be purchasing and the orders 111 sur prise those who are afraid of the fu ture. COUSINS MUST FWHT.'i^l The very general feeling of dissatis faction with the conduct of Congress man R. G. Cousins, which has existed among republicans of his district for some time, promises no\y to find ex pression in an opposing candidate be fore the prlmdrles in June. Republi cans In Linn county are enthusiastic that they have the man for tie race in James Good, city attorney of Cedar Rapids. Likewise in Tama. -A. L. Ames is believed to be the man. A visit by Ames to Cedar Rapids Tuesday occa sioned a conference of the friends of both, which was riot made public by the interested parties, because there seemed to be a desire to consult more republicans than were then present, but, as is usual, the executive session leaked enough for the Cedar Rapids Republican to print a stofy in which a great deal of fiction as tc detail was added to the fact of the conference, tc make good reading. The same report was telegraphed to the Register and Leader, The editor of the Times-Republican was present by Invitation from Cedar Rapids, there being some desire to know whether the Timeis-Republicari would encourage an opposition candi dacy. It was surprising to find the meeting composed of wel' known and radical standpatters from... Linn and from Tam^ counties, along with active progressives from several counties, all discussing their objectior to Cousins as a common cause. Th'j Cedar Rap ids Republican ndt having a represen tative present has assumed that the Cummins men under the leadership of Mr. Norris from Marshalltown had in spired the movement. Siuth represen tations are not all distasteful to Mr. Norris, but the Linn county friends of Good will' probably object to misrep resentation of this kind. Some of the standpatters from Tama county, one of whom, acted as chairman of the con ference, will feel agrieved at tho charge that a man from Marshall in running their affairs, when they knew that this man had been invited at the last moment in order that his friendly newspaper might be represented. The Republican also asserts that Afe Nor ris promised to deliver the ™e of Marshall county. Thin was a lie de liberately published for the purpose of antagonizing republicans in Mar shall county who might properly ob ject to any man promising to deliver them and was in effect equivalent to calling Norris a d—n fool. Men- so silly* as to promise to deliver any vote in a primary election would not be competent to edit a newspaper .and would be laughed out of any meeting. However, Mr. Norris did satisfy the gentlemen who had invited him there by saying that the Times-Republican would assist in presenting to the peo ple any clean and worthy candidate who might wish to oppose Cousins. No decision as between Mr. Good and Mr. Ames was reached. The Re publican is wrong in saying that Good Is to be the man. Good and Ames an -L and the friends of each will woiU. in harmony whether the candidate be one or the other or some one from some other county. There will be a candl*. date In due time. The common desire seemed to be to put up a new man who would not bo so dissipated as to disgrace his district, a man Whose ability would prove a credit to his con stituents arid who would do his sleep ing at night so as to answer roll call In daylight when congress was In ses sion. Air. Ames has become prominent as a leader of the Corn Belt Meat Pro ducers' Association. Ho Is a farmer by occupation with a c&Uego educa tion. A polished gentleman in the prime of life, a convincing speaker and man of high moral character. He would make a creditable congressman. He leans toward the progressive side of republican politics. Mr. Good Is a brilliant and eloquent lawyer about 40 years of age. Ho is city attorney In Cedar Rapids. He is a very genial and pleasant fellow and a man of most exemplary moral char acter. His personal following seems to be such as to harmonize some of the standpatters with a great many of the Cummins men at home who have been fighting one another and split ting up Linn county's delegations at recent state conventions. His friends argue tha.t Linn county will support Good overwhelmingly and that being the big county with more than one fourth the total vote of the district their roan is reasonably assured of success. r\ The facts are that the opposition to Cousins wants ft candidate at this time. Both.Good and Ames are ready for a call. If any other county can show a. better candidate he had bet ter get busy as Good and Ames ire likely to reach an understanding be tween themselves very soon. Cousins will not get a nomination for his ninth consecutive term as easily as he got the eight nominations before. -Vl Topics Ike Ikes \'4 W A portentious remark has been made by the Sioux City Tribune when it says: "If ^aFoIlette Is recognized in the national convention according to his desserts, there will be room for him In the senate hereafter." Study this a moment and something will dawn. A conservative and wiie civil war republican said in the T.-R. ofTice today that he believed Taft to be an abler man than Roosevelt and he was right, but Roosjevelt is a politician. sboth able and Strange isn't it that we will get pan icky over smallpox, which seldom ever kills, and then exhibit little or no in terest in stamping out consumption, which seldom falls to liill. otvf ,The Cedar Rapids Republican and the Register and Leader have agreed upon Senator Allison's Bradstreet's rating. It seems that the senator is not rich to the extent of millions, but enjoys an income of $2,600 per year from his investments outside of his salary from the government. He can't be turned out in the cold as some cruel newspapers would picture the event of his giving up his seat before death, "I like to go to church." "Why?" "Well, it's comforting to sefe' a man keep a hundred women or so quiet for an hour."—Bohemian. The Vinton Eagle endorses Mr. Car roll for governor and presumably Its own editor for lieutenant governor. The Garst men ought to read the Eagle. Congressman Birdsall will have op position for renomination before the republican primaries. Connor is like ly to, but the cry will be raised that It is sacriligious to talk of opposing Cousins on the "ground that he has had it eight times without working and has never worked any of the time since. J" f-itiii't• The Times-Republican will -venture the prediction that the old machine has already selected its two delegates from the Fifth district to the, national convention if the truth were known. It is also safe to say that both will be anti-Cummins standpatters, and that at least one will come from a normal Cummins county. This is the old game ?Vf: Julian Richards, in charge of the Blythe press bureau at Des Moines, says that the name of Shaw was pre sented as temporary chairman of the delegate convention, in the hopes that it might result in a delegation favor able to him for president in the inter est of harmony. This is undoubtedly a correct statement of the anti-Cum mins view of harmony. .-a'. Some bachelors have nerve enough to permit their pictures to be printed in the newspaper lists of eligibles along with others for company, but will they have the nerve to go forth alone in the twilight hours and conquer single handed? "In the name of purity in politics the mud batteries are splashing away at Senator Allison," complains the Jour nal at Sioux City.

"The man who took his money out of the bank a few weeks ago "to buy a piece of property,"" says the Journal, "wtears a rather sheepish expression us he redeposlts the money and ex plains hesitatingly that 'the deal fell thru.'" "Much of the talk about this, that and the other man being a candi date lor governor or som- other of fice is largely Idle speculation," says the Iowa FHIIS Cltlssen. "When the showdown coiues there will be just two candidates for each office. One will be a standpatter and the other a progressive." "We suppose all those newspapers that were so grieved because l^unk was 'forced' out of the ruce for gov ernor will rally to his support for del egate at large to the national con vention," is the prediction of the Le Alars Sentinel. sr-' The Shenandoah World thinks that "If more of the farmers of Iowa could but know Just what this course means to the farmers of Iowa, the college would not be big enough to accom modate those who would want to attend.". /b' "The postofflce department could not have hit upon a better plan for cut ting down the business of the mall order papers, so called, than by re ducing their sample copy business so materially," says the Iowa Falls Sen tinel. "This has been cut about 90 per cent, and this causes a reduction of nearly &0 per cent In the whole business." "American poultry raisers doubtless will be d-e-llghted to learn that the usual amount of government free seeds will be forthcoming a little la ter, perhaps, but still in time to be of use," Is a sarcasm from the Car roll Sentinel. The Sioux City Journal can see that "now that each congressman is supplied with a luxurious office, as well as a 60 per cent increase In sal ary, the Des Moines Register and Leader's representations as to tenure In office are likely to prove more annoying." Iowa Newspapers NOTHING TO BK DONIp. (Sioux City Tribune) Apparently the reaction Is "conie. There are those who are building pres idential aspirations on It. Cannon, Fairbanks and men of that school bank on It. They stand no more show than a snowball in hades unless such Is the condition of public opinion. The accepted attitude of congress indicates a belief there that the ebb tide Is on and that it is safe to do nothing. Nothing is to be done at this session except pass pruned appropriation bills and adjourn by, at latest, May 15. That is the announced program. THIS FROM REPUBLICAN' PAPER (Waterloo Reporter) The only question, as It seems to th« Cummins organ in Waterloo, is "shall the pap-suckers run the state 1 of Iowa?" Well, they appear to be run ning it at the present time, and have been for some seven years, with the result that the state treasury is bank rupt, the tax-levy the largest it has ever been, and a great increase made In the assessment upon which state taxes are being collected. The "pap suckers" should not run the state of Iowa, and that's the reason the whole Cummins coterie ought to be turned out to eat Icicles or make an honest living on their merits. The spectacle of Cummins "pap-suckers" living on by virtue of the "state machine" is not an inviting one, and It ought to be changed. The Courier might try to help a little to dismantle the machine. SHERIFFS SHOULD SHUDDER. (Iowa Falls Sentinel) The appearance of over a dozen can didates for the republican nomination for sheriff in Grundy county at the coming county primary has resulted in the advancement of a new theory from a would-be candidate that prom ises to have a tendency to weed out some of the aspirants if they are willing to meet the demands of the new test of their desire to serve their county in an official capacity and are prompted by patriotic rather than financial mbtives. The office is the best paying one in the county and commands a compensation of $2,000 a year. It Is proposed to test the fe alty of the candidates by having them agree that in case they receive the nom ination and are elected, the successful aspirant will agree to turn back into the county treasury each year $800 of his salary, thus reducing the salary to $1,200 and placing it on a par with the other county offices, and giving the sheriff compensation commensur ate with the duties he performs. Up to date none of the candidates have rushed forward to sign such a pledge. WHY THEY KICK SO. '(Waterloo Courier) 'HIv Referring to the matter of'Select ing Mr. Shaw as chairman, Mr. Rich ards adroitly remarks: "Some of the friends of the former secretary believed that if he was se lected as temporary chairman of the first convention, It would be a de served compliment and help toward an era of good feeling which it was hoped would result 'In the selection of a delegation which would present the name of Secretary Shaw to the na tional convention $s a candidate for the republican presidential nomina tion." Here may be distinctly observed -an illustration of what the Courier has consistently contended, that all stand patters desire peace between the lion and the lamb, but they want the standpat lion to have eaten the pro gressive lamb before the lying down is done. Was this not a splendid ex ample of that idea? Should Shaw be the temporary chairman? Is Shaw a citizen of Iowa' Does he stand for the principles that the majority of Iowa republicans stand for. How can any but a negative an swer be given to any of these ques tions. V' v\ it ,4 Cynical.

The experiments of the bureau of animal Industry of the agricultural department with hog cholera during the past year demonstrated that the contagion consists of a virus which exists In the blood and other fluids of diseased animals, but which can pass thru the finest filter,. Is Invisible under the microscope, ahd therefore cannot be Isolated or discerned by any of the usual methods. Extensive tests of a method of immunizing hogs against cholera have proven this means effective, tout there is still con siderable question of the practicability of this method of controlling a disease that causes such an enormous loss to the farmers of the country during the course of a year. By this method hogs that have recovered from cholera or that hav.e been exposed without con tracting it are injected with suitable amounts of virulent blood from dis eased hogs, and In hls way their Im munity is heightened. The blood se rum of these Immunes IB then used In vaccinating the hogs which It Is desired to protect. The method giving the best results Is to Inject blood from diseased hogs simultaneously with the immune serum. By this method of vaccination hogs are protected for three and a half months or more, while by the use of serum alone the protection cannot be expected to last longer than three weeks. It Is claimed the Immunized hogs retain for several months their power to furnish a po tent serum. To prove a successful cur ative agent the serum must be ad ministered within four days after ac tual Infection. What Sheep Will Do. Many are willing to admit that sheep are needed In the run-down lands of the east, and give as a rea son why they do not keep theni here that lands are rich enough so that they do not need them. If this was entirely true, there would be some excuse for general neg lect of sheep, but it Is not. Our lands were amazingly rich when we broke them oriplnally, but there is an end to everything, and so there Is to the fertility in the! soil. Observation and reflection convinces that our bank ac count of fertility is nowhere near as heavy as many profess to believe, and that we are closer to a depleted treas ury than most of us are willing to admit. On every hand we see the signs—indications that should not be ignored. All stock tends to renovate ahd en rich the farm, but there is none of It that will do the work as effectively as will sheep. H. L. Wardwell, of New York, speaking before a farmers' in stitute, states briefly what sheep did for tyis runrdown farm: "1 bought a run-down farm of 300 acres in 18^8. At that time it cut 7& loads of hay. It now produces on th« average 300 loads, in addition to about 30 acres annually in oats, 15 in corn, and 8 or 10 in roots or ensilage crops. We keep a herd of 30 cows (50, includ ing young stock,) about 20 horses, and at present have on the farm about 360 sheep—ewes, rams and Iambs. Let the Moles Dig. To Dakota Farmer: We talk much about our bird friends and wish them protected, but we often neglect or kill our animal friends. Among these, by far the best, is the mole. The white grub is one of the most expensive and destructive pests we have in this section, and unless their number can be reduced, they threaten to take the earth. They are the prog eny of the Junebug which corner thunrping against our windows on summer evenings. They will take possession of a piece of ground and destroy everything on It. Sometimes large patches of corn, In the richest grounds, will be destroyed. They will often Infest sod grounds and lawns. You have seen grass lands where the hogs were turned in and they ripped up the sod like torn blankets to get the grubs which they destroyed by the thousand. One year they killed a thousand dollars' worth of evergreens for me, and every year they inflict more or less damage. Now, I am ambitious to have one of the finest collections of perennials in the country. I raise thousands of phloxes and am engaged in raising new varieties which are the joy of my life. I noticed that some of my choic est ones were being killed by the grubs. It Is next to impossible to dig them out. They would take a row of the best, and a sort of blind instinct told them to keep right on in the same row, and so plant after plant was destroyed. It would often cost a dol lar or two to keep one of these pests. SM* -i7 A U"?#v4g,i -A* Taylor Lot Anqalet Presently 1 noticed those little ridges thrown up which Indicated the pres ence of moles, and I said, "Now the avenger has come." You could see how'they zigzagged around and caught the destroyers. It is supposed that moles eat the roots of plants. No, they are after grubs and worms. They do not eat the roots at all, but are after the rascals that do, and they do love the white grubs. When 1 came to dig the phloxes, I found grubs in the rows unmolested by moles, but most dili gent search failed to find one in the rows where they had made their blind furrows. A friend called on me ••while I was digging. He saw a mole at work "Here, quick, dig him out and kill him." He had the prevailing spirit which says, "Kill him, kill him." the spirit which Invented mole traps. I said, "No, that little fellow Is^. one of my best friends. He Is worth a flve-flollalr bill." Complaint Is made against him that he ridges up the lawns and destroys young plants but he never goes where there are no worms or grubs. First, he prefers white grubs and next, he takes the angle worms. Naturalists may say what they will regarding the angle worm and how much good he does in passing great volumes of earth thru his maw but in the Nebraska prairies, he is one of our worst pests. Our soil Is generally light and friable and after he has worked It awhile, It becomes like tough and heavy adobe. When dry, your hoe will ring on It as if you were striking a brick-bat. Such land dries out very rapidly and Its value Is reduced at least one-half. Whatever good he may do to other soils, please keep him out of ours and when we see the moles after him, we say, "sic-em." Sometimes moles will damage young plants by lifting them up so they dry out, but It does not take long to follow the ridges and tread them down. In digging the phloxes, I could not see that they injured the roots any. noticed several places where tho grubs had begun to work and I was fearful of their depredations next year but lately I have seen ridges which show that their enemy is on their track and they will clear the ground so that it will be safe to plant In the spring. What birds are above ground, the mole Is to the hidden enemies In the earth.—C. S. Harrison, Supt Nebraska Experiment Station, York, Nebraska. ,4* U' No, Do Not Rent., tJ (Dakota Farmer) 4. We are receiving, almost constantly, inquiries from single young men and young married men, both In Dakota and In more eastern states, asking our advice about renting land In Dakota, and often asking If we would not ad vise renting rather than buying, at ipresent prices of land, tools, teams, ctc. In every Instance, we advise not to rent, at least not longer than to get a good Idea of the country In which one wishes to locate. We sometimes think It a most excellent plan to rent one year, when moving Into a new country, so as to become familiar with the country, and In that way be able to select a good location, and often one costing less than if bought too quickly. The great and only danger In doing this, is that one may form the habit of renting, and this in a country where land can be had so cheaply, Is a very bad habit. Before we would rent, we would most certainly buy, even tho we had to go In debt quite heavily. But we would never advise going In debt for a large piece' of land. How much better it is to buy, fifty, sixty, or eighty acres, and have all that is pro duced on it, or that you can make it produce, and be your own master, than to rent twice as much, and do twice as much work, and have much less, under another's directing. No quarter section will produce as much, accordingly, as an .eighty well handled. A small piece of land, one Is bound to pay for, but too heavily in debt on a large piece Is running too much risk. Run Into debt for the small piece by all means, before becoming a con firmed renter. A man is worth more to the country, more to himself and more to his family, on his own acres, than he can ever be, tilling and shar ing another's. MASKED MAN'S EFF0RL Englishman to Walk Around the World Tor Wager of |100,000. In the face of a ncrtbeast wind man started the other morning rrom Trafalgar square, in London, on a tour around the world. The adventurer un dertook the task for a wager of $100, 000, the details of which be gave to tbe New York Herald's correspondent. "This wager," be said, "was laid by a friend of mine, a well known Ameri can millionaire, as tbe outcome of an argument tbat took place at a club in Pall Mall. He declared that no Eng lishman could walk around tbe world masked and pushing a perambulator. After bearing tbe conditions 1 at once made up my mind to accept tbe wager myself. Upon telling him of tbe de-, clsion I bad come to be at once made arrangements with another well known American gentleman to accompany me. He is only doing It for sport." The man was tbe object of mucb curiosity and was followed through tbe London streets by a large crowd. One of tbe conditions of tbe wager Is tbat be is not to rereal bis identity throughout the whole Journey: there fore he has concealed bis visage in a black mask. When asked bow be was going to subsist he replied: "I am starting penniless, and I shall sell photographs while on the journey. I am allowed to expend any sum not exceeding £1 (|5) for photographs and pamphlets for sale at tbe start. That Is how I shall subsist." A very difficult task is before the walker. In order to win the wager he has to touch every county In England, to visit Scotland, Ireland and Wales and to call at twenty countries. He is to buy a postage stamp at every town passed through on his Journey. Among the other conditions of this most re markable wager are tbat he is to find a wife on the road, to forward an ac count of the miles walked and, the towns visited and to obtain a signed document from the mayor or some oth er responsible person in every town. He may "go as you please." "Goodby," the wayfarer called out merrily as he disappeared. "See you In ten years:" A Brazilian Celebration.

She turned, nodded her adieus, then, over her shoulder casually, "If you haven't an ap-olntinent with the sand man before dinner you may find me In tho gunroom." :'p', "I'll be there in aboili thr^niln utes," ho said. "And what about tills dog?" looking down at the Sagamoi. pup. who stood before him wagglag, attentive, always the gentleman to the tips of his toes. Miss Landls laughed. "Tako him to your room If you like. Dogs have the run of tho house." So be followed a servant to the floor above, where a smiling nnd very orna mental maid preceded him through a corridor and Into that heavy wing of the house which fronted the sea. "Tea Is served In the gunroom, ftlr," said the pretty maid and dlsuppesxed to give place to a melancholy and si lent young man, who turned on the bath, laid out fresh, raiment and, whis pering "Scotch or Irish, slr^" present ly effaced himself. Before he quenched his own thirst Slward filled a bowl and set It on the floor, nnd It seemod as though the dog would never finish gulping and slab bering in the limpid icy water. "It's the salt air, my boy," comment ed the young man, gravely refilling his own glass as though accepting the excuse on his own account. Then man and beast completed ab lutions and grooming and filed out through the wide corridor, around the gallery and down the broad stairway to the gunroom, au oaken vaulted place Illuminated by the sun. where mellow lights sparkled on gtass cased rows of fowling pieces nnd rifle?:, on the polished antlers of shaggy moose heads. Miss Landls sat curled up 1° cush ioned corner under the open casement paues offering herself a cup of tea. She looked up. nodding invitation. He found a place beside her. A servant whispered, "Scotch or Irish sir?" then set the crystal paraphernalia at. bis elbow '•si1' He said something about the salt air casually. The girl gazed medita tively at space. The sound of whoels/on the gravel outside aroused her from a silence which had become a brown study, and to Slward presently she said, "Here endeth our first rendezvous." "Then let us arrange another im mediately," he said, stirring the tee in his giass. The girl considered him with specu lative eyes. "I shouldn't exactly know what to do with you for the next hour if I didn't abandon you." A "Why bother to do anything with me? Why even give yourself the trouble of deserting me? That solves the problem." "I really don't mean that you are a problem to me, Mr, Slward," she said, amused. "I mean that I am going to drive again." "I see." "No you don't see at all. There's a telegram. I'm not driving for pleas ure:" She had not meant that either, and It annoyed her that she had expressed herself In ftich terms. As a matter of fact, at the telegraphed request of Mr. Quarrier she was going to Black Fells Crosslug to meet his train from the lakes and drive him back to Shotover. The drive, therefore, was, of course, a drive for pleasure. "I see." repeated Slward amiably. "Perhaps you do," she observed, ris ing to her graceful height. He was on his feet at once, so carelessly, so good1 humoredly acquiescent that without any reason at all she hesitated. "I had meant to show you about— the cliffs* the kennels and stables. I'm sorry," she concluded, lingering. "I'm awfully sorry," he rejoined with out meaning anything In particular. That was the trouble—whatever he said apparently meant so much. With the agreeable sensation of be ing regretted she leisurely gloved her self, then walked through the gunroom and hall, Slward strolling beeide her.

AH tho phaeton drew up under a pil lared porte cocliero one or two servants appeared. A rather Imposing specimen bowed them through the doors Into the hall, whero in a wide chlmuey place tho embers of a drift wood lire glim mered llko heap of dusty Jewe s. Bars of suullght slanted on wall and rug. on stone lloor nnd carved stair case, on the bronze foliations of tlie railed gallery above, where. In tlie golden gloom through a high window, sun tipped treetops against a sky of azure stirred like burnlBhed follago In a tapestry. "There i» nobody here, of course," observed Miss Landls to Slwnrd as they halted In front of tho fireplace. "The season opens today In this coun ty, you see"—she shrugged her prenty shoulders—"and the women who don't shoot make the first field luncheon a function." ROPERT W. CHAMBERS. across tho terraced ve«vtnda to tho driveway, where a tandem cart was drawn up. faultlessly appoluted. Quar ter's tuaaln wan tandem. She thought It rather nice of her to remember this. She Inspected the ensemble without visible Interest for few moments. The wind freshened from the son, flut tering her veil, ami she turned toward the east to fnco It. In the golden splendor of declining day the white sails of yachts crowded landward on tho last leg before beating westward Into Blue harbor. A small white cruiser steaming south left a mile long stratum of rose tluted smoke hanging parallel to the horizon's plane. The westering sun struck sparks from her bright work. They had turned their backs to the tandem. The grooms looked after them, standiug motionless at the horses' heads. "Mr. Slward, this Is too fine to Jolss," she said. "I will walk as far as tho headland with you. please smoke if you care to." The breeze blown conversation be came fragmentary, veering as capri ciously as the purple wind flaws that spread across the shoals. But always to her question or comment she found in his response the charm of freshness, of quick Intelligence or of a humorous and Idle perversity which stimulates without demanding. Once, glunclng back at the house where the cart and horses stood, she Bald that she bad better return, or per haps she only thought she said It, for he made no response that time, and a few moments, later they reached the headland, and, the Atlantic lay below, flowing azure from horizon to horizon under a uul verse of depthless blue. And for a long while neither spoke. With her the spell endured until con science tiegan to stir. Then she awoke, uneasy, as ulways, under the shadow of restraint or pressure until her eyes fell ou him aud lingered. A subtle change had come into his face. Itsjeanuess struck her for the first time—that and an utter detach ment from his surroundings, a somber oblivion to everything and to her. How curiously bad bis face altered! How shadowy it had grown, effacing the charm of youth In It! The slight amusement with which she had becomo conscious of her own personal exclusion gr^wu tp .an, interest tinged with curiosity. The Interest contiiuied. but'when His silence became irksome to her she said so vety frankly. His absent eyes, still clouded, met hers unsmiling. "I was thinking of- men I knew—for example, a man who throdgh genera tions has inherited every impulse and desire that be should not harbor a mat) with Intellect enough to be aware of it, with decency enough to desire decency. What chance bais he with the storms which have boen brewing tor him even before he opened his eyes on earth? Is that a square deal?" The troubled concentration of her face was reflected now in his own. The wind came whipping and flicking at them from league wide tossing wastes. The steady thunder of the sea accented the silence. Turning to the sea, he had become engrossed in his own thoughts again, and again she was first curious, then Impatient, at the ease with which he excluded her. She remembered, too, that the cart was waiting that she had scarcely time now to make the train. She stood Irresolute, Inert, disin clined to bestir herself. An inborn aptitude for drifting, which threatened to become a talent for indecision, had alwayk alterpated in her with sadden impulsive conclusions and when her pride was Involved in decisions which sometimes scarcely withstood the anal ysis of reason. Physically healthy, mentally un.a wakened, sentimentally incredulous, totally Ignorant of any master passion and conventionally drilled, her beauty and sweet temper had carried her eas ily on the frothy crest of her first sea son over the eligible and ineligible alike, leaving her at Lenox a rather tired and breathless girl in love with .pleasure and tho world which treated her so well. v' The death of her' mother abroad bad made little impression upon her, her uncle, Major Bel wether, huvlng cared for her since her father's death, when •he was teh years old. So, although the scandal of her mothers self exllo had been in a measure condoned by a tardy marriage to the man for whom she had left everything, her daughter had grown up Ignorant of any partic ular feeling for a mother she could scarcely remember. Howevef, she wore black and went nowhere for the second winter, during which time she learned a great deal concerning the unconventional procliv ities of the wonien of her race and family, enough to Impress her so seri ously that on an exaggerated Impulse she had come to one of her character istic decisions. That decision was to break the un savory record' at the first justifiable opportunity, and the opportunity came in the shape of Quarrier—as though wedlock were uctually the sanctuary which an alarmed nation pretends it to be! Now, approaching the threshold of a third and last season and having put away her almost meaningless mourn ing, there bad stolen into her sense of security something irksome in the promts* she had made to give Quarriei a.. ?e.flnlte a.iswej before winter. ~'.AJ,- 'i •V I 1 f8,** 1 I nVi[ I'll Perhaps it had been the luck of In terest lu the people at Shotover, per haps a mental review of her ancestors' capricious records, perhaps a charac teristic impulse that hud directed telegram to Quarrier after a midnight confab with Gruco Ferrall. However It may have been, she had summoned blm, And now he was on his way to get his apswer, the best whip, the most eagerly discussed and one of the wealthiest unmarried men in America. Lingering irresolutely, considering with Idle eyes the shadows lengthen ing across the sun shot moorland, the •ound of Slward's even voice aroused her from a meditation bordering on lassitude. She answered vaguely. He 0pok» •gain, all the agreeable, gentle, hu morous charm dominant once more, re leasing her from the growing tension of her own thoughts, absolving her from the duty of Immediate decision. "I feel curiously lazy," she said, "perhaps from our long drive." She seated herself on the turf. "Talk to me, He looked down, amused 'Ui the piquant Incongruity of voice and ver nacular. "What time la It?-' she asked iirele •antly. He glanced at his watch. She turn ed her eyes toward the .level sun,, con scious and a little conscience stricken that it was too late for her to drive to Black Fella Crossing unless she start ed at once. It grew stiller. The wind went down with the sun. Doubtless be had forgotten to teU her the time. She had almost forgot ten that she had asked him. With the silence of sunset a languor, the indo lence of content, crept over her. She saw him close hia watch with the ab sentminded air which she already as sociated with him, and she let the question go from sheer disinclination for the effort of repetition—let the pro jected drive go—acquiescent, content that matters shape themselves without any Interference from her. The sense of ease, of physical well being, Invaded her with an agreeable relaxation as though tension somewhere had slack ened. The conversation drifted illoglcaliy. Sometimes he stirred her to amuse ment, even a hushed laughter. Some times she smilingly agreed with his views. Sometimes she let them go nncriticised or, intent on her own ideas, shook her small head in amused disapproval. The stillness over all, the deepening mellow light, the blessed indolence of the young world and their few years in it—youth—that was perhaps the key to it all, after all. "Tomorrow," she mused aloud, knees cradled in her clasped fingers—"tomor row they'll shoot, with great circum stance and fuss, a few native wood cock—there's no flight yet from the north—a few grouse, fewer snipe, a stray duck or two. Others will drive motor cars over bad roads. Others will ride, sail, golf—anything to kill the eternal enemy. You know the ma jority of the people here or coming, don't you?" ,„r,„ "Who are they?" She began, "The Leroy Mortimers?" "Oh, yes." "Lord Alderdene and Captain Vouch er and the Page twins and Marlon?" "Yes." "Rena Bonnesdel, the Tassel girl, Agatha Caithness, Mrs. Vendennlng— all sorts, oil sets." And, with an ef fort, "If I'm to drive I should like to— to know what time it is." He informed her, and she, too indo lent to pretend surprise and finding reproach easier, told him that he had no business to permit her to forget. His smiting serenity under the re buke aroused in her a slight resent ment, as though he had taken .some thing for granted. Besides, she had grown uneasy. She had wired Quarrier, saying she would meet blm and drive blm over. He hart replied at once, naming his train. He was an exact man and expected method and precision iu others. She gidp'.t.ez^it&JMusv b'^x.it.jB»i£ht.air ,J I V' Mr. Slward, In that lasy way of yours." What he had to say proved in- enough, an ir relevant sugges tion concerning the training of field dogs.

"With more than you are aware of," •he murmured, not meaning (to Her gouta had caught say it.

He knelt to release It, she looking down, noting an uply -tear in the fabric. "Payment for my iniquities—the first Installment," she said, still looking down over his shoulder and watching his efforts to release her. "Thank you, Mr. Slward. I think we ought to •tart, don't you?" He straightened up, smiling, await ing her further pleasure. Her pleasure being capricious, she seated herself again, Baying "What I meant to say was this Evils that spring from he redity are no excuse for misconduct id people of our sort.

She did not kiiow hlna very Well yet. And, thinking of him now, she again made up her mlnd to gl'« him.the answer which be now bad every rea son to expect from her. This decision appeared to lubricate her conscience. It fan more smoothly now, emitting fewer creaks. "You say that you know Mr. Quar rier?" she began thoughtfully. "Not well." "1 hope you will like him, Mr. Bl ward." "I do not think he Jflces me, Miss Landls. He has reasons not to." She looked up, suddenly remember ing "Oh—since that scrape? What hris Mr. Quarrier to do"— She did not finish the sentence. A troubled silence followed. She was trying to remember the details—something she had paid small attention to at the time some thing so foreign to her, so distant from her comprehension, that It had not touched her closely enough for her to remember exactly what this young man might have done to forfeit the good will of Howard Quarrier. She looked at Slward. It was im possible that anything very bad could come from such a man. And/ pursuing her reasoning aloud: "It couldn't have been very awful," she argued "some thing foolish about an actceas, waa it not? And that could not concern Mr. Quarrier." "I thought you did know I thought you remembered while you ware driving me over from the station—that I was dropped from my club." She flushed up. "Oh, but what had Mr. Quarrier to do with that?" "He is a governor of that club." "You mean that Mr. Quarrier had you—dropped?" "What else could he do? A nan who Is idiot enough to riak making his own club notorious must take the conse quences. and they say 1 took that risk. Therefore Mr. Quarried Major Bel* wether—all the governors did their duty. I—I naturally .concluded that no governor of the Patroons dab feels very kindly toward me." Miss Landls sat very still, her small head bent, a flush still brightening her fair face. She recalled a few of the details now—the scandal—something of the story. Which particular actrasa It was she could not remember, bat some men who had dined too freely had made tho wager, and this boy sitting bealde bar bad accepted it and won It by bring ing Into the sacred preclneta of. the Patroons club a foolish girl dlagalSjBd In a man's evening dress. That was bad enough. That some body promptly discovered It wai worse, but worst of all was the publicity, the club's name smirched, the young mail expelled from one of the beat two clubs In the metropolis, To read of such tblnga ln the col umns of a dally paper had meant little to her except to repel her. To bear it mentioned among people of her own sort had left her Incurious and Indif ferent, but now she' saw It lnt a new light, with the young man who bad figured In It seated beside bar.

Managers of Moving Picture Shows Claim Chief Croker's Statement as Applying to Some Cheap Concerns tervlew yesterday to the Associated jury cases ready for trial this week. Press, called attention to what he claimed was danger from moving pic ture machines. Local managers of moving picture shows take exception to such a broad cast statement on the part of the New York fire chief, which .was given prom inence In all the large evening papers of the United States yesterday. They say that the only possible fire that could result from a machine itself would be for a tfilm to catch fire. As the films burn like so much celluloid, It would probably never result in any thing more than the destruction of the film itself. Even this contingency, however, is met with only rarely. All of the picture shows hero use electricity, and none of them has any gasoline in the building it occupies. Two of the houses use the current sup plied by the Marshalltown Light, Pow er Railway Company, and the other generates from its own plant. The gasoline used for generating pur poses, however, is in a separate build ing, and if the tank should explode it could do nothing more than destroy the building in which it is situated, and could not possibly cause any fire In the theater proper.

The Marshalltown Women's club's business department, of .Which Mrs.' Benjamin Packer is chairman, had charge of the program at the regular meeting Wednesday afternoon. It opened with a reading "Going of the White Swan" (Gilbert Parker), by Miss Ethel Elliott, who in response to an enthusiastic encore, gave at little story from the book, "Colonel Carter, of. Cartersvlile." The address of the afternoon, on "The Woman In Business," was given by Mr. J. H. Egermayer. He made it practical as well as theoretical by .pro viding each of the ladles with a check, which he asked them to fill out, and then, altho many were perfectly filled out, drew lessons, such as how some could have been easily forged for larger amounts than originally written, from the defects which he found. Many of Mr. Egcrmayer's deductions as to woman's need of a practical knowledge of business transactions, were drawn from Instances which have come under his personal experience. Among other questions which he touched upon were the identification of persons at a bank, and the rights of women in Iowa. He holds that there is not a single busi ness entirely dis-associated from pol itics, and that especially as tho prime reason for women taking their places in tlie business world is from necessity, they should have the light to vote, as a weapon against the prejudice In many ways of business life which they are forced to struggle against Tho program closed with a pleasing vocal solo, "O Flower Of All the World," by Miss Hazel Willard, who also responded to an encore.

Daugnerty, it seems, was never a foldier himself, but several years ago conceived the Idea of applying for a pension under a real veteran's name. His victim was John L. Markett, of Washington county, Illinois. Daugherty became familiar with the real Mar ket t's record in the service, and forged the necessary papers to gairt a pen sion. He has been receiving an allow ance from the government all these years, and It was not until the real John Markett applied that the fraud \yas discovered. Daugherty even then branded the real Markett as a fraud, and claimed he was John L. Markett Worked Under Many Aliases. Daugherty worked under several allnt-es, and was known as William Daugherty, and W. P. Crouch, asH.' from his real name and that of Mar kett. He was admitted-to the home from Keokuk on November 19, 1907, and left suddenly about the middle of December, when federal officers were working here in an effort to unravel the mystery surrounding Markett's double. He was dropped Worn the home rolls on December 14, and a few days later was arrested, at Keokuk. When arrested he was perfecting plans to apply for another pension under still another name.

Rare One on a Grandfather's Love Let ter Provided the Money, $3,000. A little touch of sentiment was in jected Into the ordinarily prosaic stamp sale nt the Freeman building. In Phila delphia. the other day. when an old Philadelphia "provisional" stamp of the early fifties was-sold for $3,000. providing money for the future trous seau of a little twelve-year-old girl of Alexandria. Va. The stamp was taken from one of the love letters written by her grandfather to her grandmother. The Fawcetts of Alexandria are one of the oldest families in Virginia and were well to do before the war. They have become so poor of late years that Mrs. Janette Fawcett. seventy-six years old. has been lii despair of keep ing her promise of providing the wed ding outfit of her little granddaughter Janette. says the New York Times. Just before Christmas, in going through some things in an old trunk, she came across bundle of letters. On one of ifce envelopes was the old "provisional" stamp. She realized that it was valuable, and it was taken to Philadelphia by a friend nnd placed in Mr. Parrish's hands. He put it up at the -recent sale, and. to the surprise of every one. a collector from Cleveland paid $3.C00 for ^t. Very few of the "provisional" stamps were issued, and this particular stamp is different from any others that have come to- light. It was issued by the postmaster of Alexandria in 1847 and Is printed in black ink on light blue paper.: AH the other stamps of the bind that are known to be extant are printed in black on buff paper. The stamp is cir-ulnr in shape and the size of a half dollar, lti the center is the word "paid." with a ".V underneath. This ls encircled with the words "Post Office.

Had she been too severe? she wondered. "You may help me to my feet," she •aid sweetly. She was very young. He rose at once, holding out his hands to aid her in that pleasantly im personal manner so suited to him, and now they^stood together in the purple dusk 6t the uplands—two people young enough to take one another seriously. They walked for awhile, subdued, soberly picking their path through the dusk. After a few moments she began to feel doubtful, a little uneasy, partly from a reaction which was natural, partly because she was uot at all sure what either Quarrier or Major Bel wether would think of the terms she was already 011 with Siward. Suppose they objected? She had never thwart ed either of these gentlemen. Besides, she already had a temporary interest in Siward—the interest that women always cherish, quite uncoiisciously, for the man whose shortcomings they have consented to overlook.

Bryan's pro posat to Senator Culberson that Cul berson accept second place on the democratic ticket this year will tie counted upon—once it is widely known —to line up the southern conserva tives. Personally tor Johnson!" During the past two weeks The Journal correspondent has been ai some pains to sound democratic mem bers or the house and senate from southern states on the presidential sit uation. These men, with the under standing that they were not to be quoted, were willing to talk freely. Singularly, enough, almost two-thirds, of them,are personally opposed to the nomination of Bryan, and would be glad of a chance to support Governor Johnson. They say, however, that the condition of party sentiment in their respective states is such as to make it unsafe for them even to let it be generally known that they are against Bryan. The common people are near ly aH for him, and public men would take their political lives in their hands ai this time by failing to drift along with this Bryan tide. This situation is very similar to the one which for a long time has prevailed in the republican party so far as con gress is concerned. Perhaps two-thirds of the republicans in both houses who oppose Bryan are just as kfraid to let the fact of their opposition be come public property as the republi cans who oppose Roosevelt are afraid to tell the country where they really stand. Tlie net result of this democratic sit uation seems to foreshadow Bryan del egates from all the southern states, under the unit rule, altho It is Just possible that something may turn up later on which may change the sit uation. A brief analysis of the situation In the south by states will Indicate pretty clearly how the tide Is running. It should be remembered that this analy sis, in every case, has been furnished by members of the two houses who would only be too glad to get rid of Bryan if such a thing seemed possible. This round-up seems to suggest that if Bryan is to be defeated, the great states of the east, with New York leading them, must initiate and man age the contest, securing what help they can from New England, Pennsyl vania, New Jersey, Delaware and some of the states of the northwest. The south is not to be relied upon either to start the fight or to keep it up. Should such a fight be made, with a reason able chance of success, the foregoing analysis shows there are several south ern states that may join it. This puts it up to the east to get busy, and probably explains the work the New York World is now trying to do to focus attention on a line of conserv ative possibilities. The Reaaon.

Oddity in the News .SXSX»»®(S«(!X!XSX!*SX! Dies in Snowball. Vienna.—The Deutsches Yolksblatt records the story of a sportsman who, while hunting chamois near Uttendorf, loosened tho snow on which he was standing by discharging his rifle. Once started, the movement became an avalanche, and the hunter was thrown down the side of the mountain, rolling rapidly towards the valley. As he went over and over the snow collected around him until he became tbe center of an immense snowball, which increased in size until it stopped in the valley. The man then was so tightly packed in the mass that it was impossible to extricate him alive. His body was hewn hit of the hardened mass with difficulty. Imbecile Boy Cured by Wiggling Toes. New York.—Speechless for sixteen years, Gustav Laut has, ln ten months, learned to talk fluently. During the same period he has developed from an abnormal, undeveloped, almost imbe cile boy, into an alert, active, am bitious person he has grown four inches in height, permanent teeth have come to him against all the beliefs of the dental profession, and he gives, promise of becoming a healthy, normal man. His development Is the result of ex periments by Professor Charles Morris Campbell of Albany, N. Y., an instruc tor in music, who treated the boy ac cording to a theory of his own. the boy to wiggle one of Ills toes, an operation which required several weeks. Gradually the principle was ex tended, muscles were stimulated, and with their stimulation came a response from lungs and heart and other vital organs. Circulation was quickened and finally came the power to speak. Tbe boy has developed ambitions and says he is determined to go thru college as soon as he can make up for lost time.
