"I did not" "What did Thaw say when you told him you had heard he put a girl in a bath tub and turned scalding water on her." "He just laughed." "Didn't you say last year that he shook, his head sadly and said: 'Poor little fevelyn, they have been making a fool of you?'" "Tea/' "V "Well, where did the laugh come in?" "Afterwards, when we were talking about it" Jerome continued as on yesterday, to read extensively from the testimony of the first trial, seeming determined to get every detail of the evidence of fered a year ago in the record of the present hearing. He also went over in detail his former cross examination of witness and repeated much of it. The prosecutor stood squarely facing wit ness with the record book held in botli hands, and constantly consulted it. Mrs. Thaw asked several times to see .Um book herself. Mrs. Thaw fenced continuously with Jerome, telling him once that he was giving the wrong im pression by reading only a part of the answer s'he made last year. The dis trict attorney started to reply when Justice Dowltng interrupted the col loquy* by saying to the, witness: "Just answer the questions, please." The prosecutor seemed somewhat tired of his attack toward the end of •be morning session and lacked the fire 32 yesterday. Jerome Stirs Littleton. The district attorney questioned wit ness closely as to her motive in writing the note to Thaw at Martin's the even ing of the ^tragedy, telling him about •the presence of White in the restau rant. "Did you think it was calculated to have a quieting effect on him?" "I thought it was better that he should know who was there than that he should come suddenly upon him." "But the note was written after White had gone out." "Yes, but I didn't know but what he might come back'," fairly shouted the witness. "And you thought it best that Thaw, with a pistol in his pocket, should l|fe V.K District "Attorney Jerome resumed his cross examination of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw at the trial of her husband today, he revested to her European travels with Tiaw in 1903 and 1904. Jerome's manner was no less aggressive than yesterday. Mrs. Thaw seemed In rath er a sullen mood and answered the prosecutor's questions curtly., Like the direct inquiry, the cross-exarrilna ticyi of the witness lost its effect from ri»petition, no new facts having been unearthed to confront Mrs. Thaw •with up to this time. "How long was It after you landed in Europe in 1903, after telling this story to Thaw about White, that you were in Madison Square garden tower .with Stanford White?" asked Jerome. "A week." "As long as that—aftef you had de clined an honorable offer of marriage kecause of this man." "I went to dinner at the tower, but did not go a lone." "Did you tell Thaw about it?" "Yes." "Jerome here produced a photogra phic copy of the famous Hummell af fidavit and had witness identify the signature. Mrs. Thaw told yesterday r.f burning the original affidavit, which he declared she,signed without know ing its contents. The affidavit alleged cruel treatment by Thawi during .the 1903 trip abroad- When witness was iisked if she told Hum well the things iet ,*t»rth in the affidavit, or anything like them, she replied in positive fash ion: '1 mdfst certainly did not.' WMl se& White?" "I did not know Thaw had a pistol." Here Jerome made a move which called Littleton to his feet with a jump. He asked witness: "Didn't you read in the newspapers at the time of the last trial that there wa? no narcotic known to science which could be drank as champaign and produce the effect you said the wine had upon you at the Twenty fourth street house?" Littleton itrled to interrupt the pros ecutor, but he Insisted upon making the question in full. "The district attorney 'knew the question Was improper when he asked it," shouted the attorney, "and I earn estly object to it." "Sustained," said Justice Dowling. JUttlcton protested against the use ii't's'T"' U. H&rlSL S Wffi'frn^w£ N ot offensive words, as he characterized them, by the district attorney. Jus tice Dowling, however, declined to in terfere as to this. Mrs. Thaw told again about Thaw sending a cable gram from London to Stanford White in 1903, and said it was to ask White to stop the attache of the American embassy there from bothering her •mother. "Hadn't your mother complained to the embassy about your conduct ani| Thaw's, and about your desertion of her?" "No," snapped the witness, in reply. "I never heard of anything like that until you asked me at the last trial." Then, after a pause, she added, "No b/dy ever heard of it." "Strike that out," ordered the court/* Mrs. Thaw said she did not want Har ry to send the cablegram. "Why?" asked Jerome. "Because I thought it was crazy." Luncheon recess-was ordered. Jerome finished his olng cross ex amination of Mrs. Thaw at 2:4,' o'clock. Littleton undertook a series of re-di rect questions. She was finally ex cused at 2:47. APPEAL TO REICHSTAG.

Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 21.—Balloting in the legislature today for United States senator was without result. The feature of the day was an ad dress by William J. Bryan, who said that there were two theories in the present day democracy, the aristocra tic and democratic. He quoted Jeffer son in making this statement, and said that this is true now as well as when Jefferson said it. Referring to corpor ations, Bryan said that the rights of corporations extend only to those giv en to them by law. The warning of President Roosevelt as to the great fortune which many persons had built up was due. to the growth of corpora tions. Bryan warmly commended it. He wanted to express to the president his gratification and gratitude l'or tak ing off his shoulders a part of the cuss ing from corporations which lies for merly had borne himself He urged the members of the legislature to be careful in making laws which will af fect corporations. He said that the recent panic was caused by fictitious values. "The railroads," he said, "had palmed off on the public such stocks." This, he concluded, was the primary stocks and bonds got into the hands of New York brokers, and were put into circulation. Shrinking in these stocks and bontls followed and caused a panic. He said that every state should pass such laws or amendments as would make impossible watered stock and fictitious capitalization. BOMB FIENDS BUSY Three Explosions in New York Today Do Damage to Property No One Injured Work of the Black Hand.

Promise Said to Have Been Made to Retire After Brief Service to Enable Shaw to Accept Toga Dolliver Wanted Senatorial Prestige Chau tauqua Attraction. Special (o Times-Republican. Des oines, Jan. 21.—Just how Sen ator J. P. Dolliver got his appoint ment to the senate from Shaw, and Just why Shaw has since expressed regret that he appointed Dolliver, has reached this city from a source so close to the throne that there is every grounds for believing that it is true. This explanation also throws some light upon the reasons why member,-s I of the Iowa delegation in Washington are not now giving such great encour agement to Shaw's boom for presi dent. A short time after the death of Sen ator Gear there was a conference in Chicago which was known to and at tend,ed by but few. There was pres ent Governor Shaw of Iowa, Congress man Hepburn and his political back er, J. W. Blythe, and Congressman Dolliver and his backer, Judge Hub bard, Blythe carrying with him the in fluence of the Burlington system, and Judge Hubbard the influence of the Northwestern. It was nip and tuck as to whether Dolliver or Hepburn would get the coveted prize, the appointment to the United States senate. There were many conferences and Shaw was in •somewhat of a box. He had to make an appointment, and here were two forces "laying down hard" and no one to help Shaw out. Shaw himself had ambitions to go to the senate, and Dol liver and Judge Hubbard discovered the, vulnerable point. At the suggestion of Judge Hub bard, Congressman Uolliv'Sr sought and obtained a private interview with Shaw and then laid before him the in most secret of his heart. Dolliver had a large ambition to enter the lecture platform: He did not care for the senatorial honors except that it would help him on the lecture platform, and six months' service was as good as six years. He would serve till the next legislature and then he and Hub bard would "assist in the election of Shaw. Shaw fell a victim, and the deal was closed. Once in the senate the duties seem ed more attractive than Dolliver sus pected, and he longed to The prohibitionists of Iowa will hold conference at the Well Jan, til noon of the following day. The call is made by Malcolm Smith, chairman of the prohibition committee. This" session is called the day before the state temperance convention which •will be held at the Plymouth Congre gational church and made up of all temperance and church organizations. It is expected that a number of the leading men in tihe national prohibi tion party will attend the prohibition conference. One of the subjects to be taken under advisement will be the practical working of the primary law. The state central committee will also be in session during the day to take up matters of the party in the state. William Jennings Bryan, the prob able democratic nominee for presi dent, has been secured by the local committee for the big Jefferson ban quet which will be held in Des Moines on April 2. As this is the time of the democratic state convention for the election of delegates to the national convention, an attendance of several hundred are expected. H. C. Evans, a member of the com mittee, has received word from Mr. Br.v in to this effect. Negotiations are on to secure Senator Bob Taylor, for mer governor of Kentucky, or Gover nor Haskell of Oklahoma, to be the other speaker. The'place of the banquet has not yet j-. 'V*r been agreed upon, yet the dining room of the new Methodist church is sug gested because it will seat nearly 800 people without crowding. POSSE HUNTS MURDERER.

Ballzell. who lias Indian blood in tiis veins, is a desperate character and it is expected that he will sell his life dearly. Mrs. Oeddes. the murdered woman, came here some time ago from Viola, Wis., running away from her husband, who still lives at that place. She kept house for a time for her brother-in law, B'tllzell. who Is a. widower with seven children. He became infatuated with her and when she left him to go to the home of H. C. Bowl man, where she cared for the latter's invalid moth er, Ballzell became jealous. \Yesterday Ballzell came to Postville and imbibed freely of liquor. When he started home he was drunk. From ac counts received here, he stopped at the Bowlman home, where he J,,*st quarreled with' the Geddes woman and then shpt her. killing her instantly. Leaving the house, he riiet Bowlman, at whom he fired two shots without warning, both however going wide. Then be disappeared. A little later fire was seen coming from the barn of M. A. Bowlman, who lives on a farm adjoining that of his brother/' H. C. Bowlman. Before It could be extinguished it was entirely destroyed, with the live stock and oth er contents. It is presumed that, in bis .insane anger, Ballzell set the fire. It is known that the murderer made his way to the woods in the vicinity of his crime, but at last reports his capture had not been effected. TAXES MAKE LIARS F. G.

As a result, it became necessary to find Shaw a position in the cabinet, which was represented to him as being a step higher. The cabinet job over, Shaw again thought of the position in the senate. This was just near the close of Dolliver's term during the 1906 campaign,- and with every evidence that Dolliver was to ask re-election, Shaw expressed regret that he had not appointed J. W. Blythe to be senator. He explained in a public address that he had offered it to Blythe. With further regret in his heart at his mis taken appointment, Shaw entered into negotiations with friends of Governor Cummins to get the governor's sup port for his boom for president. He and }iis friends hatched the scheme to side£rack Dolliver to the position of vice president, the election of Cum mins to Dolliver's position, and the election of Shaw to succeed Allison. The boom for president lias not had much encouragement anywhere and Dolliver does not show any inclination to retire to the lecture platform. He was elected only a year ago to six years more in the senate. If Shaw could forcibly retire him to the lec ture platform via the vice presidential route it would be sweet revenge.

Gives Its Reader* N E 1 President McKenzie, of Live* stock Association, Urges Com? pulsion to Secure Speed v- Denver, Jan. 21.—The feature of tha meeting of the American National Livestock association today was the address of President McKenzie. President McKenzie's annual ad* dress was devoted largely to criticism of the treatment of stockmen by rail roads. He charges the railroads had broken faith with the shippers of live* stock by taking selfish advantage ot the change in the hours of the transit! law, which thru the efforts of the Am erican Livestock association, was creased from twenty-four to thirty-slkj^ hours as the maximum time during) which livestock could be kept in carst without being unloaded for feed, wates and rest. He said the railroads In* stead of increasing their speed a* promised, consumed thirty-six hours in running between feeding stations, which delayed the arrival of shipments at points of consignment, with a con sequent great loss to the shipper. He favored the passage of a law by whlcht t-he railroads could be punished for failing to give reasonable speed to live stock in transit and suggested that the interstate commerce commission should be given power to enforce such a law* HANGED BY MOB LIVES. Grover Frank lin, the negro who was hanged to A tree by a mob of 200 masked men on Sunday night, is now, in the hands of the legal authorities* alive, and* will probably survive to -be hautffjd agaiQi this time by the law. The circumstances concerning this case of attempted lynching are un usual. Franklin was seized on Satur day night at about 8 o'clock by the mob. The night before he had been caught robbing a cash drawer of tho mill of a cotton oil company where he was employed. On being found he shob and seriously wounded A. C. Faulk, the secretary-treasurer of the company. The negro then fled. He was shortly afterward'pursued by Sheriff Butler and a force of deputies. The man was finally captured by them and taken to jail. The remainder of Saturday night and all of Sunday until evening he passed behind the bars. In the meantime word of his attack on Mr. Faulk had run thru the community. Faulk is a man of wide popularity, with many friends, and it was determined by some of these that the negro was not to be allowed to remain alive until the law could try to hang him, in the event of Mr. Faulk's death, which is considered likely to occur. Three or four of Faulk's closest friends, accordingly, began the forma tion of a mob of determined men who could be depended upon to wrest Franklin from the grasp of the sheriff. Two hundred men, hea\flly armed and masked with black face cloths, were finally assembled. They rode to the jail and demanded the prisoner. In the face of such a force the sheriff was powerless and the negro was seized by the mob. He was dragged to the northern part of the town, shrieking for mercy all the while. Here'he was given two minutea to make his peace with God, and then he was swung up to the limb of a large tree. In the meantime Sheriff Butler had gathered a force of his deputies, re-t enforced by a few law-abiding citizens. and this body was in hot pursuit. Tha. members of the mob, therefore, hur riedly remounted their horses, fired a volley of shots at the negro—riddling him, as they believed—and dashed away. On the arrival of the sheriff the ne-* gro wis cut down. It was found that he was still alive. Ho was at once re moved to a hospital, where it is today declared that he has a good chance for recovery. Faulk's condition is very serious. If he dies and the negro re covers Frankiin will, in all probability, once more undergo the experience ol being haitged. MINISTER PROBABLY MURDERED Lutheran Clergyman's Body Found in Cheltham, Mo.

Special to Time-s-Kepubllcan. Des Moines, Jan. 21.—The Ohaiinoey Depew club of this city will discuss at its meeting tomorrow the great ques tion of public importance: "Does th. publication of scandal have a had in fluence on the morals of young peo ple?" The Chauncey Depew club is tiic- There was a substitute offered by Hon. Henry Sabin. formerly state su perintendent and the substitute was adopted. It read as follows: "Resolved by the State Teachers' association that we heartily approve the present law for the certification of teachers, as wise in its conception, an.i as tending" to raise the educational standard of our state that we also commend the efforts of our state de partment and our educational board of examiners to give the law a wise, -ef fective and reasonable interpretation."

The board does not expect to have but a few patients at the first till the institution is under full running order and everything go ing smoothly. Furthermore the institu tion can receive only cases in the In cipient stages of tfoe disease and it is necessary that persons seeking admit tance be examined {$!rst in order to determine the matter. The idea is that only the incipient cases can be cured and there is no use attempting to save those in the last stages tho some of these do in exceptional cases recover.

The Des Moines club was or ganized when Mrs. Leslie M. Shaw was the first lady' of Iowa. It Is a club of women and Sirs. Fletcher Howard, wife of the late member of the state pharmacy commission, was also a member. The club was organized for the pur pose of developing the art of after din ner speaking. It was then appropriate ly named after Chauncey Depew since he was the leading representative of that art in America. He was then at his zenith. Later on when it became known that as senator of the United States he was a director in several score oorporations and regularly drew his fees as director without attending any of the meetings the club here found it necessary to repudiate Depew as a senator and servant of the peo ple but still retained his name for what it stood for in after dinner speak ing. Since he had acted as a "straw man" on boards of directors where his namv only was used they thought it not amiss that he continue a littloi longer in the business and allow the use of his name for a club where his name only was to be used and nothing of his character. During the halcyon days of the club, Mrs. Leslie M. Shaw gave an after dinner speech to the members of tho club and following out the rules of tlie^ club slie was criticised during the speech and following it, the purpose of the club being friendly criticism and assistance. The friends ,of State Superintendent Riggs clairh that more credit is due the new','state teachers' certificate law from th£ action of the state teachers' association that what tl)e reports of.1 that meeting gave. When the resolu-^ tion to approve the new law was intro duced it read as-follows: "That while we recognize the fact' that the present certificate law is by no means perfect in all }ts features, we do recommend that no radical, change be. made it in before it has been given a fair trial."

He says it Js hoped to begin definite ag^lon by the first of February and that the length of tinie that will elapse between then and the realization of the idea in actual practice -will depend entirely on the backing and activity placed in it by those interested. •Mr. Larrabee explained the project as follows: "It, has always been necessary for Iowa meat producers to pay freight on live stock to Chicago and back again, when the cost of meat used Is esti mated to include freight for shipment. If a co-operative plant is Instituted In the state, it will do away with this expenditure which averages freight for 350 miles from any part of the state, I think. That In itself will be a big gain. "The plan is to ihave a big central plant, located at some convenient place, and have numerous branch houses, say one in each county. These smaller houses can do the ordinary packing house business and what they can't handle can be shipped to this central plant to be utilized. For in stance this central plant tll have the facilities for making soap, and so forth. "The plan Is receiving all kinds of boosting," continued Mr. Larrabee. "I have a great many letters written me from all over, expressing the approv al of many stock men and offering me their support. Here's a letter from a farmer in Nebraska. He wants to take stock iln the concern. Such things as that indicate that the concern would not only afford Zowa an excellent op portunity for reduced expenses and more convenient business, but it would also bring into this state, bus iness from states further away -from Chicago, thai -ivill find the Iowa con cern nearer for. them. When asked concerning the state ments making known the idea to es tablish the plant at Des Moines, as a central place, or at lvelley, because of its railroad facilities, and its nearness to Ames college, Mr. Larrabee said: "It is true that both those places are being agitated. Des Moines be cause it has good railroad facilities, and Kelley, lor that reason t»nd be cause of its nearness to Ames where the college could help it materially. The Idea is even being agitated that Ames institute a department for the teach ing of such branches as need to be known by employes in such an in stitution. This of course would be a big inducement for locating the cen tral plant there. "There is no reason why Fort Dodge ought to have it, tho, if the people want to hustle for it, I should certainly favor Fort Dodge. It's cen tral and the only, objection would be lesser railroad facilities. I see no good reason why Fort Dodge should not have it. Ames, Boone and Des Moines are hustling the thing and the commercial club of these cities are to hold a joint meeting sopn concerning it. Fort Dodge ought to be represent ed there, and get her good work in, too." According to Mr. Larrabee, the plan seems as good as a realization because so many willing hands and pocket books are ready to aid it. Such a company should be floated in sixty days, with the right activity, I am sure," said Mr. Larrabee. SWEA CITY NEWS. Livestock Shipments Large—Drainage District Litigation is Expected. Special lo Times-Republican. Swea City, Jan. 21.—A number of cars of live stock were shipped out of here Saturday night. During the last two months the railroad company has found it necessary to provide an extra train to accommodate the live stock from this point. There is probably no other town of its size in northern Iowa that ships the amount of live stock that is shipped from this station. There are a good many cattle on feed, altho not as many as usual. Feeders are finding it extremely hard to find corn enough and are paying from 45 to 50 cents per bushel for native corn, and 59 cents for new corn. The board of supervisors were view ing the first section of Mud creek drainage district No. 4, which has been completed and also viewing lands to which exception had been made to assessment. The board claimed the ditch was first class except the last three-fourths of a mile, dug after frost, which was uneven.

Fort Dodge, Jan.- 21.—The Farmers' Grain Dealers' association has won a momentous victory over the grain trusn of a decision handed down by Jud{ Lee in the case of Richard Funck vs. the Farmers' Elevator com pany of Gowrie. Funck is supposed to tie in the employ of the grain trust and some time ago bought two shares of stock in the company of Gowrie. Hardly was the ink dry on the papers before he appeared at the office of the coir pany at Gowrie and asked the privilege of examining the books of the corporation, claiming he desired to purchase additional shares of stock if he found the investment a paying one. This being refused, he brought action for a writ of mandamus, and the re stiH ant action in court was -most sen sational. Funck is said to have con tracted himself many times In his evidence, and while known to be em ployed as a clerk, was unable to show ths.t he had ever been possessed of sufficient capital to purchase the two shares of stock made out in his name. He claimed at various times during th« questioning, to reside at St. Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago and Cedar Rap ids, but sin Investigation of his claims proved them untrue.

Special to Times-Republican, Belmond. Jan. 21.—Last week the news columns of this paper contained all article from a correspondent lo cated in a northern Iowa town in which it was stated that land owners in that section were having great dif ficulty to find tenants for their farms. The reason given for this slate of af fairs was that so often heard for the past |everal years, cool summer weather, too much rain, destructive storms and other unfavorable crop conditions. To some extent these dis couraging phenomena have certainly attended Hie farmers' efforts, greatly reducing the quantity and impairing the quality of the crops raised in this part of the state. Good judgment In t: matter of selecting seed corn, the employment of scientific methods In saving it, skill and diligence in culti vation of the growing crop, all these precautions fail to secure first class result^ unless the season is favorable. To the frequent visitor in this section, however, there is another reason ap parent for the crop shortage, one that is seldom mentioned but that wili have to be looked after before the big yields of former years will again he equalled, however favorable the com-, ing seasons may be. Starting with an illustration, a man near here lives on a half section farm. He happens to own it too, but that, perhaps, has little to do with his meth ods of handling it. He would work it much the same way if he were rent ing, Last year 'he raised 200 hogs that are ready for market whenever in the owner's judgment the proper time for selling arrives. His yards are full of cattle, they also being raised on the place. "Where did you get the corn to feed all this stuff?" I asked, and he showed me a big double crib, one side of which was still nearly full of very good corn grown on the farm last season. He has never had a crop failure. -His rotation includes clover and the keeping of a large amount of stock means a liberal use of the manure spreader. Farmers like this are found scattered around all over this part of the country. Every year fthey harvest a crop of which there is no reason to complain. Every one of them have several neighbors who work just as hard, perhaps harder than themselves, and who have little to reward them at the close of the season for their labor, because they are farming worn out. land. One of the farms near here is said to have produced nothing but corn and oats for the last thirty-two years. Last summer a fair crop of oats was grown on the place. What ,would such a soil produce if it were given a chance? Without discussing the reas FROM ALL OVER IOWA court, and was given until Monday to enter a plea.

The fire broke out somewhere in the base ment. Mrs. Johnson, her daughter and son, Victor, and Miss Gertrude MoNutt were in the house at the time. Miss MoNutt was the first awakened by the smoke and after giving the alarm, the others escaped with her to the outside, in time to save their lives. Among the furniture were many beautiful and rare pieces of fur niture and priceless heirlooms of the "•aiiiily. There was some insurance on Iho house.

WliPU more attention is giv en to a proper rotation of crops and fewer half section farms are being handled by one man, there will be less complaint of unfavorable seasons and less difficulty in finding men to han dle the farms. A few years ago a prominent far mer and stock breeder of this section, dissatisfied with his method of em ploying single men to assist him, de ciding to adopt a plan advocated by writers in farm journals, built a house near his own and hired a man and family. He gave the helper a liberal contract which provided for a salary, garden spot, poultry house, a cow and other concessions whiJh figured up about $75 per month for one hired man. "Olio evening the man invited his employer to miik the cow for him and as he was unable to furnish any ex cuse for his action anothei/famiiy soon afterward occupied the little house. Within a few weeks tiiie new hired man's back gave but and his wife in formed the employer that "John ne\er could stand husking corn and would probably be laid up all winter. At least that was what happened last year." Others succeeded this man and now the house is empty. The discour aged farmer declares that the young married coupibs fhat can be employed in t)his way save enough in one year to begin farming for themselves, and tle older ones are generally, for var ious reasons unsatisfactory, so he has returned to the old -way of hiring sin gle men at so much per month with board, washing and a horse kept.

The state of Iowa, as represented by Attorney General Byers, and his assistant, George Cossen, was turned down hard recently by Judge Jjames Smith of the Des Moines county dis trict court. Cossen had appeared be fore the present term of the grand jury in behalf of B. E.

The jury found no indictment and Cossen, much vexed, ifiled a motion for the calling of a special grand jury.

NOTE ISSUES MUST NOT DELAY. Mr. Roberts, once of Ft. Dodge, then director of the United'States mint and now president of a great bank in Chi cago, will talk to a Marshalltown au dience this evening upon the need of a central bank of issue in the United States. AVhat he will say will be of unusual interest to every business man more or less concerned over finan cial panics. The principal function of a central bank would be the issuing of currency to ordinary banks as their needs would require. The trouble with all schemes for a bond secured currency is that it is too slow and cumbersome a method. No currency will fill tile bill which can not be had by telegraph and express from some nearby point and be retady for a bank's use when its needs are the most acute, and no cur rency will till the bill which can not be ready for a bank's use when its thru the delay of purchasing bonds, making application and waiting fqr red tape regulations anh requirements to be met. For this reason the plan of the cur rencv committee of the National bined capital and surplus. This would enable them to issue-notes on demand and without delay. Such notes would be" called asset notes, but they would have all the elements of security and safety that the present bond secured note now has. For. instance, a certificate of deposit for $10, signed by any na tional, state or savings bank in Iowa, would pass current at par and be ac cepted wherever that bank was known, and yet it would have back of it nothing' but the credit of the bank or its ability to pay. A clearing house certificate has the added strength of having an association of several banks back of it. The asset note will have every national bank In the United States back of It, with the United States government guaranteeing it be sides, and it will be exactly the saftne kind of paper money as the bank notes which now furnish the most of our $5 bills. It will not spread alarm when it is issued, and it will be safe and sound. What is of far greater value, it can be Issued quickly when needed, and being taxed,, will' be re tireji as soon as money begins to pile up again. If we had the central bank, the government and the national banks would own it jointly, and all currency would be issued by the central bank and ioaned to the several banks upon satisfactory showing as to their assets, just as they now loan to their farmer customers who own their land. Bankers* association provides for na- republican party, and seeking to tional banks to possess standing au- dictate to it, men who do not believe thority to issue currency on their in republican principles and who nev general credit up to 40 per cent of the er have believed in them. As a rule bond secured notes they have out, and they do not vote for republican can not to exceed 12 per cent of their com- ^ates. They take part in republican caucuses, and then since they f£%1 to make the platforms and select the can didates," and then for fear we would HOW SHALL THE CONVICT LABOR? South Dakota is in a quandary. The state has erected buildings for a bind ing twine factory in the penitentiary, and now finds it lacks convicts to run the plant. The reason for the short age, however, is not that the peniten tiary falls to contain the help, but that the state prison shirt factory needs it to get out the product it has' contracted. Of H7 convicts, 105 are busy upon shirts. As sixty-five are required to run the twine plant, the machinery will not be Installed, and the twine plant remain idle. This is-unfortunate, but can be easily remedied. It is not to be credited that 197 out of South Dakota's population constitute all that belong in the peni tentiary. The idle twine plant should 1 i" 1 offer a direct incentive lor a. r^nml lip. Let the courts begin at once to cut out, rope, hog-tie and brand from the herds of crime. If South Dakota needs but sixty-live to put the twine factory on full running time, the va liieros of justice should be able to deliver the bunch early in the after noon of any specified day. There the nomination of hours a day for existence. Prison la another thing: was bor is always cheap from its very character. Its product must be| sold cheap and cheapen the product of free labor. The twine factory is simply an expression of this general knowledge, with perhaps a protest against the twine trust. There is a better plan. The high ways offer it. The 197 convicts of South Dakota might be used on the public roads of that state and their competition with free labor be abso lutely unfelt. This is just as true ot Iowa. AVe are coming upon an era or roadmaking. It is not, and will not be for many years, an avenue for pri vate enterprise. We should use our convicts and the convict classes, from 90-day men up to those wiio are under long terms, on the highways. And it would not be outside the limits of jus tice and common sense if this en forced labor were paid. If family men were thus forced to keep their fam ilies and educate their children, and single men thus forced to accumulate a fund sufficient to make a start with when their sentences had expired. The real Object of penal sentences is ref ormation. It is easier to reform men out-of-doors than in the unliglited and ill-ventilated corridors of a penitenti ary, and a "stake" for a new start in a new country is better than all the Hope Halls, that must of necessity smell of past crime as a hospital smells of Iodoform. Health and hope are handmaids of reform. The road camp offers both to "the jail bird. The Cedar Rapids Republican says that "not a little of the trouble with in the republican party of Iowa comes from the fact that by" reason of the utter demoralization of the democratic in organization there are at present not know who they were, the Repub lican in the same issue reminds us of Linn county going democratic on the head of the ticket when normally re publican, and does not want "all these republicans" fooled who thus "pro tested" against factionalism. But how can we keep these democrats out, will the Republican please tell? Joe Lane's present attitude relieves the situation somewhat. He will not need to be watched thruout the next campaign. Discussing h'ard times in the Feb ruary American, Mr. Dooley says: "What diff'rence does it make to ye how far ye move forward, if ivrything else moves forward ahead iv ye? Now, as thin, ye are chasin* th' wil low-th' wisp of good groceries. As ye begin to retreat they come back, but there's niver a day whin ye can reach out an' sieze thim.

A press dispatch from Pittsburg says that the big coke companies/ in the* Connellsville region are seeking to displace foreign labor in the mines and coke works by the employment of English speaking workmen. Agents are being employed to secure new hands to the number of two thou sand. The explanation is that in the calendar of the foreigners every feast day in the church is a holiday, and on those days they refuse to work. Wed dings and funerals are also as ex cuses for absence from the mines and ovens, and it not infrequently hap pens that these holidays run the greater part of a week, during all of which time the power plants at the works must be kept in operation, burning immense quantities, of coal, and other expenses must be incurred to keep things in running order.

They would be better spinning twine than spiderwebs for the entan glement of progress. The South Dakota twine factory and other twine factories proposed and established are expressions of the conviction that convicts should be elnploycd and so far as possible given tasks that do not compete with the honest labor that is striving to keep out of the penitentiaries and the poor houses. lu the western states the twine factory comes nearer filling the latter requirement than any other feasible factory work.

That song bird, now perching lower in the musical memory of the many, sang in 1850 where the no more lovely angel fishes now are, in Castle Gar den. Sturdy boys were these New York first nighters they supped that night, fifty-eight years ago, at the Astor house after hearing Jenny Lind. as they supped Wednesday night at the Hotel Astor.

R#"r«fiW' $SSSB$ S W.€»^: m"» LOOKER-ON IN IOWA I 1 I'll IB Ackley, Jan. 2.1.—The talk was along the line of the fight of men for office. Some one wondered how it was that Shaw could call on Cummins, spend an hour or more in his private office, and conic out alive, ^no blood or gore being ill evidence. It reminded one man in the crowd of a bit of personal exper ience. Smith and Jones were rival candidates for congress from the Steenlh district. The story teller was something of a politician himself, as he buckled on his armor and worked nights and Sundays to send Smith to Washington. Meanwhile things had gone so far In the campaign, that Smith called Jones a prevaricator, and Jones remarked at a public meeting, that if Smith said that, if ever he said tliiit so and so was so and so, why Smith lied. The next thing was that candidate Jones absolutely refused to recognize the story teller, altho previ ously Jones was as pleasant as a basket of chips. That made the story teller as mad as a wet hen and he worked haiMer than ever for Smith. While the fight was the hottest, when Smith was liable to kill Jones any time, and Jones was equally blood thirsty, our story telling friend was one day taking a short trip on the cars. The conductor told him that candidate Smith was in the diner, so he natural ly went in to see him. And to his as tonishment Smith and Jones were sit ting at the same .table having an awful nice time, and a cold bottle or two to drown their enemlty. And the con ference lasted so long our story teller was unable to see Smith before he got off at Nextown. The general public is not aware that another strike on the part of the tel egraphers is possible in the near fu ture. The railroad companias early last month sent out a circular to all oper ators, saying In substance that the new nine-hour law concerning continuous work on the part of operators and others who have to do with the mov ing of railroad trains, would necessi tate a readjustment of wages now paid and in compliance with an agreement with the telegraphers' union, they gave a sixty-day notice of the pro posed Change. Every man the writer has talked with, that is. every railroad man. says this means lower wages, and they won't stand for it. Any one can see that this nine-hour law means in many places that three operators will be required to do the work formerly two men attended to. The rule now Is the day operator goes on at 7 a. m., and the night man takes the key at 7 p. m. Tihis means an additional ex pense to the railroad of 50 per cent more for labor to run a depot ot tel egraph station. It is unquestionably true that the general business of .he railroads since the panic began has fallen off tremendously. The C. N. W. railroad thru one of their officials, claims to have lost a million of dol lars since that time. And tills railroad and others, have been cutting expenses everywhere possible. Trains have been taken off. notably the nig'ht passenger between Jewell and Ames. Night sta tions closed, and as usual the poor janitor fired. This retrenchment Is supplemented by this circular to the operators, and they understand that readjustment means less pay for their work. This they will not accept urdess forced to. One "night man" tells the writer that when they "go out," not only will all operators leave their keys, but t)he Western Union and Postal company commercial telegraphers go with them. That tho these men were whipped In the last strike, they are ready to try it again, when a general strike occurs. He says that while "the railroad operators did not strike with the commercial operators, they did send the strikers $80,000, and now they will work and strike together. All of which, to say the least, is Interesting to the general publld. BLOWS FROM "THE BIG STICK" How the President Wielded It In Day at the White House.

The committee—four women properly placarded—exclaimed in chorus: "We do not wish to think we are the womanly women," which was re ceived with hilarity.
