VOLUME THIF TY-FOUR. Prosecutor Pleads Tliat His Per sonal Conduct Has Nothing to do With the Case §2| r^EGRETS HIS LACK OF DIGNITY District Attorney Comes Close to Ad N mitting That Sneering Remarks Were Uncalled For—Case Will Go to Jury Early Friday—Jerome's Clos­ ing Plea for the People. rrt New York, Jan. 30. other great crush at 1 2 •There was an the criminal 'P":\ courts building 'today to Hear District Attorney Jerome make the closingad 5 dress for the people in. the Thaw case. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and Josiah Th*w were the only members of de f|- fenclant's family present when Jerome began his argument. He declared the case had been handled by him with some difficulty, J.S he had many" ,N matters of Importance to attend to at the same time. "If I.at any time lacked in the dignity tWt attaches to my of fice," continued the prosecutor, "if I have shown any asperity or lack of consideration, I an only say now I re gret it. Any personal Impression I have made or Inave not made should have no part whatever in your ver diet you are not trying the district at- other torney. Any sneers he may have made are not evidence for the people, and neither are thjy any evidence that Thaw was insane when he killed White. As to t'tie woman, if my man ner was one of disapprobation, that is not evidence. Neither I nor the woman is being tried here. Harry Thaw is on trial for the murder of White, and the defense is that he was insane on the night of June 25, 1$06, and that he was not generally insane or Is he in sane now. All you or I have to deal tvith is whether or jjot at the particu lar time and place defendant was in sane—whether when he killed White the act was wrong and against the law of the land." "I shall endeavor," Jerome added, coldly, "to dispose of the evidence in this case—to do it §tep by step, and show the bur. the law places upon defense, the proving of the insanity of this defendant and that it has not been met." He declared Thaw plainly I ihad a motive for killing White. Every act of his for two or three weeks be fore the tragedy pointed to his deadly, •consuming hats otf the man he killed, "it matters not whether you believe the girl's story of drugging or not,", declared Jerome, "the relationship or ithis middle aged married man with "jj-j the girl of 15 ought to have no. ef f,'\Jfeot. No decent man can say the ,XiOrd is his defense. I certainly have aio intention of doing so, but with all the things I ihave pointed out to you, t'.,if there was no motive in the heart *v of this defendant, I can Imagine noth ing that can create a. motive." The prosecutor took up one by one the facts of Thaw on the roof garden and immediately following the trag ^j^edy, and assorted they all pointed ^•to full knowledge of what he was do- l. ing. Jerome signified very plainly that he 'pf7 believed justice would be served if the defendant be found guilty in some lesser degree of nominal responsibility •0m than murder in the first degree. He explained carefully, all the elements that entered into a verdict of first de gtee murder, then pointed the way {ff: to two other possible findings of mur- J&ti der in the second degree, or man fy: •laughter in the first.. Jerome sur "prised his hearers today by the strik- ling contrast of his argument with that §ft?- of a year ago. His vindictiveness was -uiy? gone, his passionate defense of White was gone, and denunciation of Evelyn oj. Nesbit had no place 1n his remarks. In f'_ li stead, there was a calm, analytical presentation of the 'evidence, a con- cession of possible weakness, both i'5, mental and physical, in the defendant, f' but always a recurrence to the hard and fast rule of the law that a man to be excused must be so insane as not to know wha: he was about. Jerome to Know win. ne was ul. namely, that during the next paper declared dramatically that there was chase at Lenox you scatter from your V' no doubt that White had done Evelyn bag these 5,000 pink slips bearing my i. A Nesbit a great wrong, and that Thaw ihad every motive for revengeful mur der upon the man he killed. This motive, he asserted, forever £wept away the claim of insanity which •knows not what it does. Justice Do-.vning announced at the luncheon recess that he would not charge the jury until tomorrow mor ning. Jerome will conclude this after noon.

"The columns," he says, are. in the Varna district, near Dikilitasch, on the edge of a great plateau, free from trees. At a distance they look like an old ruin. They are five or six meters high, are cylindrical in form, with a diameter of aboyt one .meter." The or igin of the formation has caused much debate in scientific circles. Bertie Goelet on Nervy Men. (New York Sun) Robert Walton Goelet, at a meeting of the Astor Trust company's directors said of a-certain broker: "The- man's nerve is amazing. It shocks me. It reminds me of a money lender whom a friend of mine, a great rider to hounds, once resorted to. 'Yes,' said the money lender to my embarrassed friend, 'I will renew your note, but only on one condition, sir TVinitf fVin iirnrrla "TWrtllOV ad. name and the words, "Money ad vanced on easy terms." Is it a go, sir?" Exonerated. "Mr. Gayboy, when I went into a crowded car the other evening you ap peared to be deeply absorbed' in a newspaper, and I had to accept a seat offered me by an entire stranger. You didn't see me, of course. O, no!" "My dear Miss Pimmie, when a pret ty girl enters a car where I am sitting I never rise and offer her my seat. I always know that a lot of younger fellows will do It at once and it won't be necessary on my part." "O, well, Mr. Gayboy, there was no harm done—and I have no doubt you really were too busy with your news paper to see me. I was just joking." A Cannon Story. A man from Rushville, 111., recently told a story on "Uncle Joe" Cannon that dates back to the recent home coming week when the Danville states­ man was Rush county's truest of honor. An old settler remarked to Cannon that his wife said lie looks a great deal like Mr. Lincoln. "Uncle Joe," in strict soberness replied. "You go home and tell your wife that Abe Lincoln is dead and can't defend hnrtself." r~~-' -n wTOW* iw^ New Aldrich Measure in Amended Form Presented From Com mittee For Consideration Even Some Deaths Due to It in York.

BRYAN ON PUBLICITY Expresses His Views on Political Cam paign Contributions, Before House Committee Today—Has Same Inter est in Matter as President. Washington, Jan. 30.—"An flection is a public affair, and participation in I politics is a civil duty. All arf^uments used in elections should be used pub licly and ail means employed' to -se euro the election of or to defeat a candidate should be the means which one using them should not be ashamed to have the world know." This epitomizes the views of William J. Bryan on the subject of publicity of campaign contributions as expressed today before the house committee on cloetionjs. For president and vice pres ident Bryan declared that there could be no objection to any one making a campaign contribution "if that con tribution represents a patriotic interest in a public cause." He said that it was the duty of the people to contribute to the expense of disseminatink cam paign material by way of education. Bryan said he was glad-'President Roosevelt had taken the. matter yp. "He has spoken so plainly on the subject of publicity df campaign con tributions," said Bryan, "that I am sure the fact that I am a democrat will not place suspicion upon my arg ument, for I think I have the snine tefcfP&'t in this matter -(hat the h#06t •Ident has expressed,". 'He tfertered that he had a far greater interest In the government and in public ques tions than in personal concern about the success of any Individual. Bryan said that he recognized the difficulty of getting thru a measure sufficiently comprehensive in its material pur pose which would not Invade the sphere of states, but believed one could be enacted along the lines in dicated. START ROAD IN SPRING. New Interurban Has Two General Routes in View. Special to Times-Republican. Jefferson, Jan. 29.—Encouraging news has been received from the men who are back of the new interurban, and from all indications the new road will be started as soon as the frost is out of the ground this spring. A let ter written by Mr. A. O. Anderson of Lake City, who seems to have charge of securing the right-of-way, has been received by Mr. E. B. Wilson of this city, in which is an inquiry asking for an immediate answer to the effect that if stock was placed upon the local market, would it be possible for the people of this vicinity to buy $10,000 worth at $50 per 'Share. Altho Mr. Wilson has not made a definite can vass among the men of this commun ity, it is firmly believed that much stock will find a ready market, and if such is the case, the road is bound to be .a success. This new company will be' organized under the laws of Iowa, thereby preventing the issuance of any watered stock, and also insuring every stockholder a square deal. It is the aim of the company to secure as many stockholders as possible along the route and in so doing gain the co-oper ation of the farmers and the people who will be more willing to give it a liberal patronage, than if it were oth erwise. The new road has two general routes in view, one being from Perry thru Jefferson and Lake City to Sac City, with a branch from Lake City via Rockwell City, to Pocahontas Center, where connection will be made with the Spirit Lake, Emmetsburg Fort Dodge railway. The right-of-way has practically been assured by the people of this section, and the farmers who at first opposed the interurban are now giving it careful consideration, and without a doubt there will be no opposition from now on. The preliminary survey has been made, and altho the direct route has not been fully determined, it is almost certain that it will run thru the southeast portion of this city and if all reports are true Jefferson will have a sub-station and power house that will mean much to the city. The stock will be on sale as soon as definite plans are arranged. WOMAN SUFFRAGE LOSES. Michigan Constitutional Convention Votes Down Proposition.

SSit'M Begin Campaign to Secure Del egation For Bryan First, Last and All the Time OPPOSITION IS NOT ASLEEP Considerable Opposition to Nebraskan Among Old Line Democrats—Bryan ites Prepare to Prevent Repetition of St. Louis Bolt—Miller Seeks to Re­ tain Chairmanship. Special to limes-Republican. Des Moines, Jan. 30.—The "Bryan Volunteers of Iowa" has been organ ized with loyal tried and Thus far the friends of Bryan have not been able to detect any open movement on the party of the anti Bryan people but they are hearing rumors. The anti-Bryan people pro fess to- be for Bryan this year but the Bryan men will even be suspicious. They are willing and would gladly see the anti-Bryan of "safe and sane" ele ment make no fight for delegates, but whether they do or not the Bryan wing is now organized and at work. It is acting on the supposition that the way to avoid war is to be prepared for it. Every democrat suggested .for delegate to the next national convention will be scrutinized and the tape measure ap plied to him. George F. Rhinehart. one of the strongest Bryan men in the state, is president, and there is a vice president from every congressional district. The affairs of the club as in all clubs will be run principally by the executive committee which consists of J. B. Sul livan, Charles O. Holly, James Nugent, H. G. Gue, W. L. Carpenter, T. J. Meals is secretary .and the president and secretary are ex-offieio members of the executive committee. Every member of the club is pledged to pay five dollars and to guarantee on ad ditional member of the club. Branch organizations are to be formed in each county and $2 of the membership they collect is to be forwarded to the state organization. The new club was formed Monday night of this week and by the time the central committee meets It will be under full headway. By the time the state convention is held which it is ex pected will be about April 1. the day before the annual Jefferson Day ban quet, the club expects to have every thing nailed down for Bryan. An active campaign is being carried on by C. W. Miller, chairman of the state central committee, for re-elec tion. Miller is classed with the "safe and sane" crowd. It is understood that under the primary as interpreted by the democratic leaders the mem bers of the state central committees will hereafter be selected by the state convention as a whole and not by the congressional districts. For this reason the campaign for re-election must be conducted over the state at iarge. Bryan men are not slow in saying that they will oppose the re election of Miller. Miller is said to have written numerous letters to prominent democrats over the state in which he asks their support for his re-election and it is understood that in this campaign is coupled the sell,-me to re-elect all the present com mittee. This will be done at the con vention In June. Re-election of the true Bryan men in command for the purpose of getting delegates to the next national convention that are irrevocably for William J. Bryan. At the last state convention of .that party the delegates to the national convention were in structed hard and fast for Bryan with as stringent instructions as could be given but two of the delegates went back on their instructions and bolted for Parker. The organization of the Bryan club this year is for the pur pose of carrying the campaign into the congressional districts and getting delegates who will not bolt. The avowed purpose of the club is to "advance the principles of dem ocracy as taught by Thomas Jefferson, defended by Andrew Jackson, brought to the attention of the world by Abra ham Lincoln and advocated by W. J. Bryan," but the real purpose is to get the delegates to the next national con vention for Bryan. The opposition to Bryan in Iowa is not asleep. Attention of Bryan men has been called to this fact and they propose to be in the ground early. There will be a meeting of the state central committee inside the next two weeks for the purpose of fixing the date for the next state convention. Bryan sympathizers propose to not al Ioqk, the matter to go by default. Two delegates are to b^"SHected from each congressional district and fotir at large and the Bryan men propose to see that each of the delegates Is a Bryan man. The democrats are for Bryan in Iowa much as the republicans are all for Taft, but there are two factions re maining in the party just the same, even if they are all for Bryan. What has been known for a long time as the Bryan wing of the party headed by George F. Rhinehart, Jerry Sulli van and others haye no faith in the other people. They believe that if any of the members of the other wing of the party get on as delegates they will be likely to do just as Sam Wright did at the St. Louis convention—bolt Bryan for some "safe and sane" can didate. present commijltce would mean the re tention the committee by the "safe and sane" people. The Bryan men are certain that they will have the bulk of the delegates and they propose to elect their own men to the commit tee. A. K. Kepford. state lecturer for the .state board of control on tuberculosis, left yesterday for t'linton where he Will dellv" an address or two on the subject .berculosis and will then go on p. .bu(|iie to conduct a cam paign will be opened next week.

After these lectures have been delivered a third and last popular lecture will be given on the plans for organizing to combat the disease, and it is expected at this to organize with the prominent people of the city at the head so that the state board of control will have, a local organization thru which to reach the people with information. Dubuque will be the first city in which the campaign is completed and the organization per fected.

He will begin this inspection February 17 starting in with the Fifty fourth regiment. W. L.

Fearing heavier withdrawals today, the officials of both banks decided last night to close their doors today. As a result of the closing of these banks, several others not in the important class met heavy withdrawals of de posita this morning.

There was quite a heavy run on the Oriental bank and its Canal street branch during the day, but all de positors were promptly paid.

Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Jan. 0.—Altlio the third party prohibitionists were defeated in their efforts to control the temperance conference and have their plan adopt ed by the meeting, the agreement as linally adopted was accepted unani mously and the meeting closed with harmony on all sides. Altho the day was spent in earnest and forceful debate on the question of whether the organization entrusted with the campaign for resubmission should be formed by federation of the existing temperance bodies, churches and kindred associations, or should be a new, separate and distinct organ ization, the close of the convention was harmonious in the extreme, and the prohibition. party members who were defeated in their efforts to form a separate association joined with the anti-saloon league leaders who fath ered the scheme and were aided by the Des Moines Ministerial associa tion in declaring the movement wel! launched. The campaign for resubmission will be in the hands of a board of direc tors. on which the churches, the tem perance 'organisations, the societies associated with the churches and an annual' mass 'temperance, convention will have 'representation. The fed eration'is to be composed of the mem bers of these organizations and all others tvllo will co-6perate in the movement for ..resubmission. ^Resolutions were adopted by the contention- which will compel all can didates' for the Iowa legislature, for congress and for the United States senate to go on record with respect to prohibition. The candidates for mem bership in the Iowa legislature will bo 'required to state whether they favor resubmission of the prohibitory amendhient. The candidates for con« gross and the United States senate will be asked to state whether they favor prohibition in the District ',of Columbia arid the principles of the bill which prohibits interstate shipment of liquors into states without the consent ofi the states and prevents the issu ance of internal revenue permits in no license territory. In this connection allusion was made on the floor to the ftfct«that one can didate for. congress, X. E. Kendall, of Monroe county, has stated th^t he fav ors the legislation referred -to: in con gress. As presented by General James B. tVeaver for the resolutions committee, the original draft did not include the allusion to the bill to prohibit inter state shipments and revenue licenses, and only, alluded to the candidates for the United -States senate in the term "congress." On motion of W. 15- El well, of Ames, who will"be the prohi bition candidate for congress In the Seventh district, the reference to the interstate shipment: bill as inserted, •and when the specific allusion to can didates for the United States senate was suggested General Weaver said that it could not be too strong and too specific to suit him. He Is a candidate for United States senator before the democrats. His colleagues on the com mittee were Rev. F. W. Hodgdon. of Plymouth Congregational church, and Emerson De Puy, of this city, also. The Resolutions. The resolutions as adopted were as follows: We, your committee on resolutions, beg leave to report as follows: There is manifested tbruout the whole nation—our own state' included —a rapid growth of prohibition senti ment, which Includes the total prohibi tion. of the liquor traffic and the en .f or cement at all times of existing Jaws, The lawlessness of the liquor traffic Is apparent to all intelligent ob servers, and it must be met by united -public, sentiment if our state is to ful fill, the purposes of its organization, and our homes be rrjade secure. We firmly believe that there should be an immediate unification of all the religious and temperance organisations of the state. We believe that this uni fication should take the form of a fed erated effort of all the temperance or ganizations of the state, Including all churches and young people's organ izations and Christian associations and that it should carry with it the com-* plete enlistment of that spirit and pur pose which is the power and virility of each of said organizations. therefore, by virtue of the adoption of these resolutions, we here and now inaugurate a movement in Iowa for the purpose of securing a constitutional amendment which will prohibit the manufacture of all Intoxicating liquors and their sale as a beverage and we earnestly ask for the co-operation of all good citizens'of this state, regard less of party or church affiliations. We further declare In favor of and demand the destruction of the manu facture and sale of Intoxicants in the District of Columbia and in the terri tories of the United. States. For the purpose of making this movement effective and securing at the earliest possible ri.ate the ends sought, we recommend that all candidates for either branch of the state legislature at the coming election be required to make an open and. frank statement as to whether or not they favor the sub mission of the constitutional amend ment herein called for, and that all candidates for congress and the Un ited States senate should be asked to make a public statement as to whether or not they favor the destruction of the liquor traffic in the District of Co lumbia and the territories of the Un itpd States, and the support of the principle involved In the Hepburn-' Dolliver. now UuletielU-Carniack bill. We express our high appreciation of I he results imit have been accom plished in other states notably'Georgia, Alabama. Mississippi and Oklahoma: and we tVrvently ask the prayers of :OI isood. people everywhere for the suc cess of this movement and humbly in voke the Divine blessing. The Plan of Work. The debate on the plan of work raged all day. involved a difference of opinion between the anti-saloon league and the prohibition party. The latter wanted a separate and distinct organization to manage the campaign for resubmission, but the anti-saloon league, which was supported by most of the ministers, wanted the federa tion of all of these organizations. Rev. .Mr. Kifer declared that the federation of the temperance societies would strike terror to the liquor interests and have vastly more effect on the situa tion than the forming of an entirely new organization to do the business in hand. This was the majority view. After debating the report of the committee on plan of work all morning, and tjirn which both plans were submitted to get the sense of the convention, the committee was directed to form a plan consistent with what appeared to be the majority view—that is, contem plating federation instead of associa tion of the individuals. The final committee plan made It a federation, the board to be composed of representatives from the temperance organizations, and five from the mass temperance meeting then in session, members to be 'the members of these organizations and others paving $1. and the board to continue itself by se lecting to fill vacancies. As amended and finally adopted the organization is provided for as fol lows, In substance: Wherefore, for the accomplishment of the purposes aforesaid, this federa tion is hereby organized under th» following articles of federation: •Name Constitutional amendment federation. Object—Shall be to procure at tj)e earliest practical date the resubmis sion to and adoption by the people of the prohibitory amendment to the state constitution. Membership—This federation shall be composed of the members of all state temperance and prohibition or ganizations and such other citizens who favor the resubmission of the pro hibitory amendment. Officers—President, vice president, secretAry, treasurer, to be elected by the board of directors. Management—The management shall be reposed in a board of directors, to be composed of a representative of each state temperance or prohibition organization duly appointed or elect ed, by such organization, and of five additional members chosen by the con vention by ballot. All churches, hav ing state, conference or synodicaJ or association ^organization, and young people's societies, and all law enforce ment leagues and other moral associa tions having state organizations, which so decide, may send one duly elected or appointed delegate to the annual meeting of the board Of direc tors with voice and vote in the delib erations. Annual meeting—Once every yenr. the first of the directors' being at the city of Des Moines, when the board shall determine. Funds—For carrying on the work, funds shall be derived from organiza tions represented and from voluntary contributions, paid to the treasurer and paid by him on order of president and secretary. Convention—An annual convention shall be called by the executive com mittee at such time and place as the committee may determine. Executive committee Composed of the four officers, to have charge of the business until the first annual meet ing.

Another Tenth District Taper Changes Front on Senatorial Sucecssion HUNGERFORD GETS INTO LINE Carroll Herald, Newspaper of Stand- pat Proclivities, Makes Surprising Announcement, Withdrawing Sup­ port from Allison Publisher Out­ lines His Reasons. Special to Tlines-Kepubllcan. Carroll, Jar, .*0.—The Carroll Herald, probably the most widely circulated and influential newspaper published in Carroll county, and heretofore affil iated with Governor Cummins' oppo sition, has created somewhat of a sen sation in political circles by pledging its unqualified support to Governor (.'uuimins in the senatorial campaign. The Herald is edited by J. H. Ilunger ford, a member of the board of regents of Iowa State College.. It says in part: "There is no probability that Will iam B. Allison would live half the years of another term, and it would be an injustice to the people of the state, as well as the nation, to deprive Iowa of vigorous representation in the sen ate for a single session. There was never a time when more weighty questions pressed upon congress for solution. A great constituency has a right to demand that Its voice be heard In the senate. With such vital interests at stake, Iowa people must do their duty unhampered by senti ment. We know no man approximat ing SO capable of managing an impor tant business. The limit of human ac tivity is a relentless bar. And the sen ate entails work of supretnest impor tance. We have never agreed with Gover nor Cummins in all things. Hut lie has made a splendid public officer. In character and ability he ranks with the best men of the nation. He stands for much that we deem vital in public life and we are willing to trust ""his honesty and enlightened judgment in the discharge ol' congregational du ties, should he be elected. The Ropse veltian policy of corporation control and regulation, the dominance of the people must be prosecuted to final consummation and accomplishment. Albert B. Cummins stands out in sig nificant relief along these lines, and this in our minds levels all differences between his political past and oui sense of present duty. So what little influence this newspaper may have in the coming senatorial contest will be exerted for the nomination of Gover nor Cummins for United States sen ator. The Dumont News.

RECALLING EMBARRASING FLIRTATIONS It is somewhul aiuii.siug the Lglit of the real facts that the llii'tations of republicans with silver during the years prior to lSni should be tnailed now to be made a subject ol iIim--usnuni in the senatorial cumiKiign. but Dulli ver is to blame loi it. Fully nine out of ten republicans who were in public lile during the years ol education and crystallization ot public sentiment on the money question which culminated in the campaign ot K, are an\ ous now to forget the Ihrtations ol their college davs. The intense suspense in which the country was hung a:s It listened breathlessly to tiie tick ot the telegraph wires trom the St. L^uls convention whicn nominated McKln ley, should recall the uncei taint} of republican doctrine as to the sold standard in those days, but Dol.ner stirjed it all up by eulogizing Senator Allison as the "father of the gold stan dard'," and there is no use trying to cover up those schoolboy escapades. The Sioux Citv Journal may well la ment the revival of things said tliirty years ago. It should not lia\ been done. However, it will not do for the re actionary press to revive a lie* aoout the governor's letter to Dr. Gonell in 1903 That was nailed fast in the lust governorship campaign. This letter was then quoted in part only, careful omission being made of the paiugiaph in which Cummins was favoring the coinage of silver 'at the commeicial ratio." There was a But this storv can never be con cluded until the politics of the St.-' Louis convention of '96 are recalled. Mlison was a candidate for the nomi nation for president. Cummins and Hepburn and Henderson were dele gates Cummins had studied the mon ey question in the three .\euis from '90 to '96 The Iowa delegation held a stormy caucus on the question oi in structing its member of the resolution committee to stand tor the word gold in the platform. Cummins was for ?old and said so. Henderson and Hepburn pleaded that they could not be returned to congress Irom their districts if gold appeared anywhere the platform. Allison was appealed to, being the Iowa candidate. He wrote •t monumental straddle, which was in troduced in the caucus ot low as dele gation. and carried bv 21 votes to 5, Cummins being one of the li\e who stood for gold. In the meantime Lodge RESUBMISSION REACTIONARY. To the minds of most thinking and observing men, who are directly In touch with men and conditions thev are, the movement for resubmis sion of the prohibitory amendment In Iowa is scarcely a step toward actual temperance relorm. "We ha\o coine but recently to a practically complete conviction that present liquor laws should be strictly enforced thruout the state, but any general demand or call for a resubmission ot the prohibitory amendment is lacking. The fact is that the public tone has but just recovered from the moral plane to wlv.cli the failure of the prohibition law to pro hibit sent. it. '1 revive the old light and bid for a new lailure just when the general public is ready ti the present laws and demand their en forcement. will seem to most people dangerously llkelv to lose more than the present movement has gained. 1 vast difference even In those davs between, the coin age of silver at the heaven-born ratio and the commercial ratio. Cummins was wanting to do something for silver like all other republicans, and hail not yet realized that coinage of silver at the commercial ration meant a single gold standard. Dr. vioirell was a fiee silverite at 10 to 1, and a member of the slate senate. He wrote to Cum mins in order to determine whether to vote fur Cummins for United States senator or for Hepburn, and attei he got Cummins" letter he voted for Hep bum When the Grinnell l-terahl or other newspapers quote the Gorrell let ter in part they are practicing decep tion wittingly or unwittingly. 1 If anv citv of size Iowa were ked whether a prohibitory law mod eled 011 t,ie I )ast forced the answer would be in the neg ative. We have heard the replv to the question wnether the present laws can be enforced to a practical degree. Du buque. Davenport. .Muscatine and oth er cities where law violation has been common pructiee and non-observance the rule, have said that the law is .su preme when backed bv I lie state. Hul no one believes that prohibitum could or would he enlorced in these cities. In lose what we have gained.' Whv should prohibitionists taUe the chances ol a high license law or a local option law. when the mulct law. despite its apparent inconsistency, has kept Iowa clean compared with other states in its liquor trattic." A lew thousands ol Iowa voters be lievo in the possibility ot en forcing prohibition slrouglv enough to vole lor a prohibitory law. 'lens ol thousands who would welcome prohi bition ll it were possible know that to make a sumptuary law and to en force it are vastly dilterent things. The localities Iowa where a prohibitory law can at present be enlorced are practically rec from the trail Ic. Outside ol the drug store trade tliev are tree ol it, and thev were never tree From that under the prohibitory law of the prohibition regime. If the ministers were organizing to have each county vote prohibition up on itself, thev would be aiding a dis tinctly lorward movement. Thousands are readv J,or prohibition when they can be assured of a majority senti ment within the. political units that make and unmake tile administrations which must enforce the law. We can all join hands for prohibition ol this kind under the present law without Irving again thq law which tailed. While the eniorcement ot the present law has not been what it ought to be, it would be well to give It further trial. There are saloons running wide open today in many counties that have nev er seen a petition ot consent, and sa ioons in other counties that do not pre tend to obey the restrictions of the present law. It would be far wiser to adopt some conservative amendments to the present law, such as the change of jurisdiction in the trial of liquor cases and further limitations upon the drug store saloon, and thus secure an administrative machinery that would enforce prohibition in the counties that pretend to prohibit before at tempting thruout the state what even now fails locally in so many instances. Resubmission is a lud for reaction. The present advance all along the line is a'decided iorward movement for temperance and a prophecy of a day to- come when the forward movement shall have arrived at complete prohi bition. If it has taken a century to march a-n armv trom New York to Omaha, It would be manifestly ab surd to attempt to reach San Francis co in a day. PROUTY'S REPLY TO DOLLIVER. In Ins Council- Bluffs speech, Sena tor Doiliver enumerated the crowning achievements of Allison career of constructive statesmanship as six In number, the last of which was his con nection with recent railroad legisla tion, to which Judge Prouty replied at Des Moines, saving: "Senator Dolhver next refers to Senator Allisons connection with the recent railroad legislation, giving the interstate commerce commission power to fix railroad rates. For his service': in connection with that bill I gave him due credit and proper praise. Uut I am not an enthusiast tor death bed repentance. All of you familiar with this subject will recall that the interstate- commerce commission was created in i887, and under that law it was supposed that it had power to fix rates. It at least exercised that right until 1897. when the supreme court decided that the act did not con fer that power. This decision deprived the ru and Tom Piatt and the eastern hard effective power and from that time it monev men had whipped Mark Hanna became a joke and an object of de and McKinley into line for gold, and when McKinley came over, the whole republican party became the gold stan dard party. This is history as the events occurred. Judge Proui md not censure, condemn or criticize ^llison for his silver flirtations. He simply questioned Dolllvers statement that the venerable senator could claim much glorv out of the paternity of the gold standard bill. Alter the party had adopted it, Allison adopted it ot course. But it will not do to reply by republishing a lie in garbling the Gor rell letter. That was nailed down In the campaign to "pound Comnuns In to the earth" seven years ago. iir0il(3 commission of its only rision bv the railroads of the country. Immediately upon this decision, the Interstate commerce commission asked congress to amend this bill, and clear ly grant them this power. The presi dent of the United States, in a strong and fearless message, recommended such action. From that time until 1'I06 the commission begged for power. Hills were introduced in congress con ferring it. but the railroads of this country had the power to prevent them l'rom ever getting out of the pigeon holes of the committee room. Thev seemed to have congress hypno tized- Where were Allison and Doili ver during that time? Senator Alli son was in the senate during all of the time, and Senator Doiliver was there during five years of it, and I defy either of them to show a word that thev said in the halls of congress or upon the stump advocating the grant of this power to the commis sion- They were as silent as clams. There was just as much necessity for this law in 1900 as there was in 1906. as I But where did they ever raise their voices for it? Our bold, courageous and fearless Cummins was making speeches not onlv in Iowa, but over the entire Lnited States on this ques tion. Where was that man, that now vaunts Ills courage, during these ex citing campaigns.' Still silent. Who was it that went to "Washington to ask the president ol the United States to Include that recommendation in his message to congress W ho was it ap peared before the interstate commerce committee when the hearing had grown into a /arce. testified ill favor of the people and turned the whole course of the investigation, resulting in the famous Elkms letter?

Mr McMillen also says: "I still think that Blvtlie, French, Ingham and Perkins would make an admirable list, of delegates-at-large on a peace basis." It would be interesting to know what he does it with when Mr. McMillen thinks on a peace basis." So it appears that the melancholy condition that follows a four or five years' spree is "mania depressive.' Great 'coco' 'on Littleton.

Booth Tarkington's Indianapolis Christmas celebration, Senator Jeff Davis* Chicago subjugation by one of the dangers to our republic, and Mayor Dahltnan's Sioux City exemplification of wavs other -than waterways were grabbed by the telegraph editors as "good stories." All the editors agreed in thinking this class of news worth a "slug head," and many of them gave it a place on the "front page." There used to be a time when none of the stories mentioned would have ap peared in print unless it happened to come during a hot political campaign in which the principal was interested. Then the storv would have been print ed only by the opposition newspapers. In the good old days a prominent man could get gloriously drunk, and spread the red palftt all over a large sized town -without acquiring any embar rassing publicity, so far as the news papers were concerned. He might even land in the police station in the cold grav dawn of the morning after, and if he took the customary precau tion to give an assumed name the storv of his exploit would be amiably overlooked by the reporters. Take the national capital for in stance The traditions of Washing ton are full of "Jag Stories of Great Men" Alanv of them relate to by gone davs and 'to men whose names are written large In the lustor of the na tion Some of them apply to men now living and to a penod not very remote These stories would ha^ been rend with eagerness if printed at the time of happening. They were not printed and few references to them, even in an obscure way. ever crept Into print- Thev were passed around freelv bv word of mouth, mostly among "good fellow." but nobod seemed to think of making a "horrible example" of a- gieat man gone "wrong by the red liquor route. Kven really good people. If they happened to get hold of one of the stories, helped to cover It iid partly out of (haiil, and partly perhaps from fear of evil effects thru advertising the weakness of an otherwise great and good man. Whv Is it that we now ha\e public ity where formerly the silent policy prevailed? A variety of theories mi^ht be suggested by way of answtr. Posslblv the most logical answer is found the increasing disposition on the part of newspapers to let the light ol publicity shine on all dark spots, regardless ot the shock to sensibilities that may attend disclosure. This dis posnion is due lo growing conviction thai publicity, while It may advertise evil, carries even more effective adver tising of the need for virtue. There was a time "when the inner side ol politics was considered until for publicanon. The theory seemed to lie that if the puolic knew what was going on between uublic servants and Hie politicians who made them people, would lose faith in our political system ami something awful would happen. The MIM Winter Care of Manure. liie ideal wa\» to handle inatiuie, lo get nearest to ts full value, is haul and spread directly from the barn. Where conditions are such as to make It possible the spreader the ideal thing lo use: but as every farmer knows there are times during our Minnesota winters when it is lm-| possible to use the spreader. It Is true one can use the sleigh and, spread bv hand, but even then some-j times the snow g?ts so deep as to make this work impracticable. The manure will then have to be piled. If one Is feeding corn it Is. often desirable to let the pigs work It over In the yard. It not only fines| the immure and keeps it from heat-' ing but furnishes exercise and a con-i siderable amount of food for either] the fall pigs or brood sows. Where this is not desirable one can haul directly to the field and pile in a larg» pile wlicr:! it will be con venient to haul from next spring and thus save much tune. This Is lust wl at we did the lat ter part of last winter, savs Forest Henry In the N. W. Agriculturalist. We made a large broad pile in one corner of a field that tha: we intended cover ing as soon as the crop was in the ground- As soon as the pile was started we leveled each load off as It was put on the pile so we could drive on top with the next. This not only sjaved work- as it Is easier to pitch manure down hill than i.p. hut it kept the manure better mixed and also kept the pile packed so solid that it would not heat. This is very Important, es pecially if anv considerable portion is horse manure which is \ery liable to heat When spring came the manurei was so liandv that we were enabled to haul out and spread fully twice asj much a (lav us would hftve been, possible had w-e .o haul It from the yard. Again, this handling of the man ure thoroughly n-ixed it and altho It had not lain very long It was quite well rotted. B.v putting It in this, compact pile verv little of the liquid manure escaped, which Is very Im portant. While 1 am a strong ad vocate of hauling and spreading di rectly from the barn, where good work can be dor.e would not ad vise hauling anil dumping wherever It was possible =implv to get It out of the wav. The time has come when the saving and applying of the manure should be made a study so that It can be put to its fullest and best use. Portable Hog Houses. J. Ct. Fuller and C. A. Ocock of the Wisconsin experiment station, warmly recominentl the portable hog house and have made it the subject of a bulletin that ought to be read by every hog grower. Swine were originally natives of warm, damp climates. No other farm animal is subjected to such uncom fortable quarters. He frequently sleeps in filth arid eats from sour and slimv troughs. Fortunately growers are appreciating: better methods for shelter and herd Improvement, and with the practice of these improved methods, the portable house naturally linds favor. Advantages of the portable house are easilv enumerated. It Is easily and economically constructed, can be eas ily moved and located where desired, Is useful to the general farmer and breeder of registered stock, and of all systems for housing swine Is the most natural and sanitary. Onlv the simplest kind of workman ship is necessary to build the portable house and much odd lumber can/ be worked into it. The method of con- S -r'^i^f€»^i ®?r- ^ft rv Under this policy graft was kept cov ered and the whys and wherefores of practical politics were left a deep mys tery which was deemed best for the public not to comprehend. Presently the light of publicity was turned on. It did not bring about collapse of faith in *ir form «f government. It brought Instead a demand for honest administration and clean politics, and the demand brought compliance. There was a time, too, when the at mosphere of mvsterv was allowed to envelop the ways of "big business." When the searchlight was turned on it proved bad for crooked business, but the light had not been shining long before it was seen the illumina- struclion can be easily understood from explanations and directions given with the description of each house. The portable house is peculiarly ad vantageous since it can be readily moved- The renter who finds it im possible to provide expensive quarters for his hogs can well afford to con struct portable houses since they can be retained as personal property. Many fafmers construct hog houjes without considering the importance of sanitation, ventilation and drainage. A hog house of any kind should be lo cated on a high, dry site, and, if pos sible, on soil containing sufficient sand to drain well. A house located on an elevation may be somewhat colder in winter, but it is much cooler and more comfortable in summer. Hogs suffer greatly with the extreme heat of sum mer and It is equally as Important to keep them cool In summer as it is to keep them warm in winter. The portable houses are useful on any sized farm, as the number can be regulated to the size of the herd. "With separate paddocks to accommodate swine of different ages and sexes, a portable house is practically a neces sity. Swine will never pile up In a damp, poorly-ventilated quarter, ajid come out steaming in the cold morning air unless compelled to do so. Where a large number of animals are con tinually housed in one hog house and fed in or around the 'house the -sur roundings are .sure to become more or less filthy and unsanitary. If feeding Is done on the inside it keeps a. portion of the floor wet, and gives the entire building an offensive, disagreeable ap pearance. On the other hand, by using the portable house, moving it occas ionally onto a fresh piece of ground, and feeding the hog.s at a different place, one avoids these unsanitary conditions. These portable houses are built to accommodate from four to six mature animals or ten to twenty shoats. This method keeps them much cleaner and more thrifty than when allowed to congregate in larger numbers. Individuals of a herd show ing evidences of a contagious disease can be readily isolated. Manure the Orchard. ROYAL Baking Powder Ifhe only Baking Powder made I with Royal Grape Cream of Tartar —made from grapes— Insures healthful and delicious food for every home—every day Safeguards your food against alum and Many of our orchards can stand much higher fertilizing than they are receiving says an exchange. It is usual to put apple and pear trees on land that is nr/t over rich. It has been found that a too rich soil makes a growth of wood at the expense of fruitage. But many farmers have carried the idea too far. While it is not desirable to have fruit trees grow too fast, yet after they -have made their principal growth and have begun to bear they should be fed. Generally they are not and they go on jjear after year drawing out. of the soil some of the fertility, of which there was not too great an amount in the first place. This thought should be kept in mind the original amount of fertility should not be decreased. On soils only moderately rich it is necessary to keep up the supply of fertility. What the crop of fruit takes ofT should go back each year in the form either of barnyard manure or of chemical fertilizers, so that the roots of the trees need not seek in vain for the material out of which to make new products. While the edible part of the fruit does not contain much fertility, the seeds do. Also the an nual crop of leaves take a great deal of fertility and often this does not get back into the soil. Some drv leaves are as rich in manurial elements as barnyard manure. They do not general®' get back into the soil of the orchard, and this loss must be annually compensated1 for. phosphate of line sA A+"'* **~i 4 tion was going to insure sounder and better business in the future. It may be taken for granted that publicity as a jag cure among the seats of the mighty will deliver the goods, as It has delivered them elsewhere. The fact A'at a prominent man could make a "horrible example" of himself and escape the consequences was a temptation to repetition and emula tion. The knowledge that unpleasant notoriety must be one of the conse quences is calculated to discourage repetition or emulation.

At first he appeared to be very happy, but be fore long his friends began to notice a look of sadness on his countenance. He seemed to be gradually sinking in to a state of melancholia, and one mor ning the community was startled by the announcement that he had applied for a divorce. Then It was that one of his friends went to him for the pur pose of learning the patiire of his trouble. "Surely." the friend said, "you must be mistaken in your suspicions. Your wife is one of the most estimable women I ever knew. It is impossible for, me to believe that she can have given you any reasonable cause for a separation. Come, old man, make a clean breast of it. Perhaps you have become morbid and fallen into the habit of imagining that things are worse than they are." "No. I appreciate your kindness but my Imagination is not in any way to blame. I prefer not to say anything about it." "Well, if your wife has been guilty of any wrongdoing I'll confess that have no ability as a judge of human nature. I have always considered Jier one of the .most .V "Who .said anything about my wife being guilty of wrongdoing? She's the sweetest little woman in the world." "Then why do you w^nt a divorce?" "Well, I suppose it'll have to come out, anyhow, so I'll tell you.

Hebberd, New York's commissioner of charities, concluded an address, at a recent philanthropic din ner, in this way: "Yes. immeasurable are the rebuffs that the helpers of the poor, the seek ers after charity for their suffering brothers, undergo. "A friend of mine, a Methodist min ister in a small western town, told me the other day of his last rebuff, a not unkind one. "Entering the office of the local weekly, the minister said to the editor: 'I am soliciting aid for a gentle man of refinement and intelligence who is in dire need of a little ready money, but who is far too proud a man to make his sufferings known.' 'Why,' exclaimed the editor, push ing up his eye-shade, 'I'm the only chap in the village who answers that description. What's this gentlemen's name?' "•'I regret,' said the minister, 'that I am not at liberty to disclose it.' 'Why. it must be me,' said the editor. 'It is me. It's me, sure. Heaven prosper you, parson, in your good work.' Why He is a Bachelor. Peter Y. Haines, a rich bachelor of Dulut'h, gave a New7 Year's dinner to •seventeen bachelor friends, whereat each guest ihad to give a good reason against marriage. "My own reason against marriage," •the host said, "is embodied in a re mark that I overheard this morning at the railway station. "A strong, masterful looking woman was bidding farewell to a small, slen der man. Tho man's maimer was meek, but it changed slightly as the woman got safely ensconced in her seat in the .train and before lie hurried away he shouted thru the car window at her in quite a vindictive way: "'And be sure, my love, to send me a nice long curtain lecture from time lime. ,^f% Tlmcs-lteptoliom ttlarshalUiixtru, too, January 3U 1908 years, has decided to dispose of his personal property at Richmond, Va., to engage in handling horses for the sou-„ thern trade.

Aud God knew a wealthy man's gratitude was neces sary to .him at that very moment gratitude substantially acknowledged. 1-Ie liked Plank, wished hiui well. That was all right, too, but a nntu is an ass who doesn't wish himself well also. Two birds with one stone. Three. for he hated Quarrier! Four, for he had no love for his wife! Besides, it would teach Leila a wholesome les son—teach her that he still counted serve her right for her disgusting friendship for Plank. No. there was to be nothing dis reputable in his proceedings that he would be very careful about. Proba bly Major Belwether might express his gratitude substantially if he, Mortimer. went to him frankly and volunteered not to mention to Quarrier the scene he had witnessed between Sylvia Lan dis and Stephen Siward at 3 o'clock in the morning in the corridor, and If in playful corroboration he displayed the cap and rain coat and the big fan, all crushed, which objects of interest he had discovered later in the bny win dow. Yes, probably Major Belwether would be very grateful, because he wanted Quarrier in the family. He needed Quarrier iu his business. But, fuugh! That was close enough to blackmail to rub off! No. no! He wouldn't go to Belwether and promise any such thing! On the contrary, he felt it his duty to inform Quarrier! Quarrier had a right to know what sort of a girl he was threatened with for life. A man ought not to let another man go blindly into such a marriage. Men owed each other something, even if they were not particularly close friends. And he had always had a respect for Quarrier, even a sort of lik ing for him—yes, a distinct liking! And, anyhow, women were devils, and It behooved men to get together and stand for one another! that she wouldn't snap up Plank iu such a fix and make it look like a jilt for Quarrier? But Plank must do his part on the minute. Plank must step up in the very nick of time. Plank, with his millions and his ambitions, was bound to be a winner anyway, and Sylvia might as well be his pilot and use his money. And Plank would be very, very grateful—very useful, a very good friend to have, and Leila would learn at last that he. Mortimer, had cut his wisdom teeth, by God! As for Siward, he amounted to noth ing. Probably was one of that con temptible sort of men who butted in and kissed a pretty girl when he had the chance. He, Mortimer, had only disgust for such amateurs of the social byways. A ^,{-4^yp^'f^ktr^r^i v^' 1 1 A The Fighting Chance. Copyright, 1906, by the Cartis Publishing Compear. Copyright, 1906, by Robert \V. Cnambera. CHAPTERS SEVEN Quarrier would give her her walking papers, and, in her humiliation, is there anybody mad enough to fancy permit liiin the pleasures of the card After all, the matter was simple—ab surdly simple. A word to Quarrier, and. crack, the match was off! Girl mad as a hornet, but staggered, has no explanation to offer—man frozen stiff with rage, mute as an iceberg. Then, zip, enter Beverly Plank, the girl's lescuer at a pinch, her preserver, the savior of her "face," the big, high ly colored, leaden eyed deus ex ma china. Would she take 50 cents on the dollar—would she, to buy herself a new "face," and put it all over Quar rier, and live hhppy ever after—would she? Oh, not at all! The main thing, after all, was to promise Plank his opportunity, but not tell him how he was to obtain it, for Mortimer had an uneasy idea that there was something of the Puritan deep planted under the stolid young man's hide and that he might make some absurd and irrelevant objection to the perfectly proper methods em ployed by his newly self constituted guide and mentor. No that was no concern of Plank's. All he had to do was to be ready. As for Quarrier, any body could forecast his action when once convinced of .Sylvia's behavior. He lay there pondering several meth ods of imparting the sad but neces sary information to Quarrier. One thipg was certain—there was nqt now time enough before the house -party dissolved to mold Plank into acqui escent obedience. That must be fin ished in town unless Plank invited him to stay at the Fells after his time was up at Shotover. By heaven, that was the idea! And there'd be a chance for him at cards. Only, of course. Plank would ask Leila too. But what did lie care? lie was no longer afraid of her. He'd soon be independent of her and her pittance. Ayd so, immersed in the details of his dirty little drama, he pondered over the possibility of an ulterior gentle iuau as he moved heavily to and fro, dressing himself, his neuralgia being much better, and presently descended the stairs to find everybody absent, engaged, as a servant explained, in a game of water basket ball iu the swimming pool. So he strolled off to ward the north wing of the house, which had bepu built .for the BQuash 9 5 ROBERT W. CHAMBERS. courts and swimming poo!. The Page boys and Uena and Eileen, ou one side, were playiug the last mutch game against Sylvia, Marlon Page, Siward and Ferrall on the other. The big, slipping, glistening ball was flying about through storms of spray. Marion caught it, but her brother Gor don got it wvay. Then Ferrall secur ed it and dived toward the red goal, but Itena Bonnesdel caught him under water the ball l»obbed up, and Sylvia flung both arms "around it with a lit tle warning shout and hurled it back at Siward, who shot forward like an arrow, his opponents gathering about him in full cry amid laughter and ex cited applause from the gallery, where Grace Ferrall and Captain Voucher were wildly offering odds on the blue and Alderdene and Major Belwether were thriftily booking them. Mortimer climbed the slippery mar ble stairway as fast as his lack of breath permitted, anxious for his share of the harvest if the odds were right. He managed to make several apparently desirable wagers with Kathryn Tassel and one with Beverly Plank, who was also obstinately back ing the blues, the losing riWe. Sylvia played forward for the blues. Suddenly through the confused blur of foam and spray the big, glistening ball shot aloft and remaintHl. "Blue! Blue!" exclaimed Grace Fer rall, clapping her hands, and a little whirlwind of cries and hand clapping echoed from the gallery as the breath less swimmers came climbing out of the pool with scarcely wind enough left for a word or strength for a ges ture toward the laughing crowd above. Mortimer, disgusted, turned away, already casting about him for somo body to play cards with. It being his temperament arid his temper to throw good money after bad. But Quarrier anrl Miss Caithness had already re turned to the squash courts, the ma jority of the swimmers to their sever al dressing rooms and Grace Ferrall's party, equipped for motoring, to the lawn, where they lost little time in disappearing Into the golden haze which a sudden shift of wind had spun out of the cloudless afternoon's sunshine. However he got Marlon and also, as usual, the two men who bad made a practice of faking away his money. Major Belwether and Lord Alderdene. He hadn't particularly wanted them, lie wanted somebody he could play with, like Siward, for example, or even the two ten dollar Pages. Not that their combined twenty would do him much good, but it would at least table -without personal loss. But the Pages had retired to dress, and Voucher was for motoring, and he had no use for his wife, and he wat afraid of Plank's game, and Siward, seated on the edge of the pool and sharing a pint of ginger ale with Syl via Lnndis, shook his head at the sug gestion and resumed his division ot the ginger al$. Plank apd Leila Mortimer came down to congratulate them. Sylvia, always inptinctively and particularly nice to people of Plank's sort whom she occasionally encountered, was so faultlessly amiable, that Plank, who had never before permitted himself the privilege of monopolizing her, found himself doing it so easily that it kept him in a state of persistent mental intoxication. Siward, Inclined to be amused by the duration of the trance into which Plank had fallen, watched the prog ress of that bulky young man's infatu ation as he sat there on the peol's marble edge, exchanging trivial views on trivial -subjects with Mrs. Leroy Mortimer. Once in their history, during her early married life, Siward had been very sentimental about her, but nei ther, he nor she had approached the danger line closer than to make dar ing eyes at one another across the frontiers of good taste. And their youthful enchantment had fcaded so naturally, so pleasantly, that always there had remained to them both an agreeable after taste—a sort of gay understanding which almost invaria bly led to mritual banter -when they encountered. But now something ap peared to be lacking in their rather listless badinage—something of the usual .flavor which once had salted even a laughing silence with signifi cance. Siward, too, had ceased to be amused at the spectacle of Plank's calflike infatuation, and Leila Morti mer's bored smile had lasted so lonjj that her olive-pink cheeks were stiti and she relaxed her fixed features with a little shrug that was also some thing of a shiver. Then,! looking pru dently around, she encountered Sl ward's eyes, and during a moment's hesitation they considered one another with an Increasing curiosity that slowly became tentative intelligence. And her eyes said very plainly and wickedly to Si\»ard's: "Oho, my friend! So it bores you tp see Mr. Plank mo nopolizing an engaged girl who be longs to Howard Quarrier!" Then without appearing to she took Plank away from temptation' so skill fully that nobody except Siward un derstood that tbe young man had been incontinently removed. He, I'lank, never doubting that he was a perfect ly free agent, decided that the time had arrived for triumphant retirement. Sylvia turned to Siward. glanced up at him, hesitated and began to laugh consciously: "What do you think of my latest sen timental acquisition?" 4- -...--.v.., 1 VHe'd be an ornament to a stock farm," replied Siward, out of humor. "How brutal you can be!" she mused, Bmillng. "Nonsense! He's plain bounder, isn't he?" "I don't know—is he? He struck me a trifle appealingly, even pathetically. They usually do, that sort.

SAYS IT IS FACT. McBride Will Confirm Guarantee on Hyomei, Cure for Catarrh. The question having been raised as to wether or no Mi-Bride Will will re fund the money if a llyotnei outfit does not do all that is claimed for it in curing catarrh, they want positively that this guaranlct solute fact. to state in ab- the best to the A guarantee like this is proof that can be offered curative powers of Hyomei in all ca tarrhal troubles. You do not risk a cent in testing its healing virtues, Mc Bride Will take all the risk. If you have catarrh, try this won derful medicated air of Hyomei. It does not drug or derange the stomach, but is breathed thru a neat pocket in haler that comes with every outfit, so that its medication reaches the most remote air ells in tlie nose, throat and lungs, where any catarrhal germs may lie lurking. It quickly destroys them, heals and soothes the irritated mucous membrane and vitalizes the tissues so that catarrh is no longer possltile. You can lose nothing by giving Hyomei a trial, nothing but the catarrh and that is good riddance. The price of llie complete outfit is but $1.00: nothing if it fails to cure. (Jet an outfit from McBride Will today and begin its use at once. Motion for New Trial.

THE RETAIL STORE Its Success is Not a Mere Matter of Chance, Says a Noted Authority on Publicity The Way is Clear But the Rules Are Iron Clad. George Lionel Louis, who is an ex pert and an authority on good adver tising, has an interesting article in the current issue of the business man. He says in part: Retailing is not conducting a busi ness according to conditions as yOu may find them, altho to a more or less extent existing conditions must be taken into consideration. Make the conditions subservient to and cen tering towards you—that is, make conditions as they will best serve the interests and welfare 06 your store. At first reading this may appear to be some innate theory conceived by an idle dreamer but I repeat m' s: emphatically this can be done fuiJ, what is lno-e, it is now being don:j. A people can be educated to buy ci tirely new things in an entirely IK'W way and at a new place. Habits ate ta :ily formed, and you can make your .-tore an almost necessary element to the happiness of your surrounding public. By what legerdemain, by what wonderful magic can this be lone?" ycu gasp? There is nothing- myster ious about it. Advertise! Tell the people who you are, where you are lo cated. what you are selling, and why they should buy of you: impel them to pass by your store, force them to^look into your windows, and then induce them to come in and buy. All of this can be done by advertising. There is nothing complex or mys terious about advertising. There are only a limited number of methods and means which you can make serve the purpose of publicity, and it has but one definite object. Common sense and simplicity are the only two es- S3.49 Ladles' Cloaks $3.49 Your choice of any of our ladies' cloaks, in the house, fine broad cloths, kersies, bear skins, etc., valued to $15 and $18, will be found in this lot, but they must be sold, all on one table at one price, choice $2.98 Men's Sheep Lined Coats $2.98 A big lot of men's heavy duck coats, sheep lined A throughout, high storm fur collar, a coat always sold for $7, our special price to close lauty 59c Iv I4c Ladies' Wool Hose -V -'V- \f rff^y sentials upon which all good adver tising must be built.

Some Good Comparisons. "Advertising is to business what ex-, ercise is to the human body," says the Augusta (Ga.) Herald. 'It is the na tural, true a'nd healthy way to steady, growth, strength and development. Judicious advertising is the only uni versal remedy for, modern business in itself. It is a profession that is being recognized more and more each suc ceeding year, and the well-trained minds that are giving it attention are producing astounding results. Truly nothing succeeds like judicious adver-/ tising. It Is the only known meth-ii od of dealing In 'futures' which brings^ large profits with little risks. "The casual deader of a paper mays not think of the potent influence of an, advertisement. It reaches him without any effort on his part. It gets to hinv and in hjm. and influences him, without his knowing it. He just, sees it and obeys its command unconsciously, ands therein lies the power of an adver-. tisement. But back of it are the brains of the writer, the business methods of the advertiser, the skill of the ad-setter, the excellence of the type, the timeli ness of the announcement, the circu lation of the paper, the faith of th« reader in the publication."

Till culosis Claims Twenty Two in County During Year Ending' June 30 PARALYSIS A COMMON CAUSE Deaths of the Soldiers' Home Give Diseases to Which Old Age Is Sus­ ceptible Undue Prominence—Minor Diseases Which Claimed Number of Victims—Other Causes. Pulmonary tuberculosis ranks liigh, but not first among the diseases which caused the 392 deaths iin Mar shall county during the past year, ac cording to the report of the bureau of vital statistics of the state health de partment for the year ending with June 30, 190T. While it does not rank first among the. causes, it does take first place among the contagious dis eases. The various forms of diseases of the heart, grouped us one. take first rank over all of the others. From this cause, or causes, forty-one of the 392 deaths, or a little more than 10 per cent of them, resulted. There is a reason for this, the same as there is a reason for the numerous other dis eases which attack old persons, and result in their death most frequently. The reasons are that, included in this list of deaths, are all of those from the soldiers" home, which make up a good portion of the total. Second to the diseases of the heart ranks the deadly pneumonia, which claimed thirty-nine victims during the twelve months, just a little under 10 per cent of the whole. Paralysis, in its various forms, ranks neect, being accountable for twenty-live deaths. This is another one of the group of diseases, many of the deaths from which were furnished by mem bers of the soldiers' home. Next be low paralysife stands tuberculosis, with a total of twenty-two. Next below tuberculosis comes can cer, in its various forms, which claimed as its toll eighteen during the year. Briglit's disease i^ next, with seven teen. Next below is apoplexy, with ten dropsy, with eight and so on down thru the Jong list. There is a surprisingly large num ber of deaths from those'common dis eases, such as measles, which, in the great majority of cases, is not fatal. Measles claimed eight during the year, grippe, two, and whooping cough one. Cholera infantum, and other diseases common among children, took off six. The number of deaths due to typhoid during the year were unusually few. Uly three in the entire county being among the list o£ 392. G. W. ISENBERG DEAD. Well-Known Resident of Green Moun tain Succumbs to Pneumonia. After a critical illness of a week, duo to pneumonia., George W. Isenberg, a well-known and highly respected resi dent of the Green Mountain neighbor hood, died at 1 o'clock this morning at his home, one mile north of Green Mountain. Mr. Isenberg had not been feeling well for several days preceding his illness, and when he did finally give up and go to bed the disease had taken such a firm foothold 'that his case was almost hopeless from the start. George W. Isenberg was a native of Huntington county, Pennsylvania, and was born Feb. 18, 1844. He was mar ried at Frankstown, Pa., in 1865, when Miss Nancy Geesey became his wife. In 1878 Mr. and Mrs. Isenberg came west, settling in Ogle county, Illinois, where they lived for thirteen years. They came to Greien Mountain in 1891. Aside from his widow Mr. Isenberg is survived by' five children, two daughters and three sons. Mrs. Allie Balrd, living one mile north of the home place, and Miss Margaret Isen berg, who resides at home, are the daughters. The sons are Dr. Hayes Isenberg,, of Pierre, S. D. Frank Isen berg, who lives at home, and Ray Isen berg. a civil engineer of Minneapolis. Another daughter, Mrs. Charles Long man, died in California, Feb'. 14, 19Q5, and another child died in infancy. Mr. Isenberg is also survived by two brothers and three sisters—Blair, John and Sarah Isenberg, of Hollidaysbu'rg, Pa. Mrs. Maria Carrls, of Altoona, Pa|, and Miss Susie Isenberg, who made her home with her brother. Mr.' Isenberg was a man who was held in the highest respect by his friends and neighbors, and one wliose aim was to live a Christian life alkali times. He was a leading member of the Green Mountain Congregational church, and a deacon in the ehurch. The funeral arrangements ha-ve not been completed -owing to a lack of definite word from the relatives living at a distance. OBITUARY. Harvey.

HELLERS ADDRESS. Teachers Guests of Women's Club at Meeting of Unusual Interest. The program at the Women's club Wednesday afternoon, in charge of the mothers' child study department of the women's club, Mrs. David Len nox, chairman, proved a treat indeed to the large number who heard it. The feature of the afternoon was a talk by Mrs. Harriet Heller, of Omaha, .super intendent of the detention school of Douglas county, Nebraska, for the pas-t three years, and a former Marshall town woman. Mrs. Heller's talk was delayed until the arrival pf a large number* of the school teachers, to whom an invitation had been extended, and was piei-eded by Miss Mae Smith, in a delightful re cital of children's songs and lullab.\s, among which were two by Mrs. Caiiie Jacobs-Bond. Mr. Kalph Hix acted as Miss Smith's accompanist. Mrs. Heller, in her introductory re marks, paid a pretty tribute to Mar shalltown institutions of learning lor their part in her training for public life. She announced that she had come to tell of the juvenile com ami detention school work in Dougla county, and her own part in work, as well as to what club women prevent sciences, the latter crime if anything, being#the greater, the better it will be for all of us." The boy who doesn't have a mother doesn have a least chance to save a boy or hang on to it, and work.

The average price paid, "while not as large as was anticipated, was fair, and a few individuals sold at good prices. The practice of holding stock sales in the city is growing and because the convenience is appreciated by tile ifarmers generally. It also en courages attendance from a greater distance, stockmen from surrounding counties coming here over the different railroad*.

The coinmlssioner lrom tins flinty, together with City Engineer Baugh iua.il- as engineer employed on the work, has concurred recommenda tions as to the ditch, but the Story countv commissioner has dLssi-nted» •and on that ground the uuditoi it-fuses to issue the notices. The Nevada Representative refers to'the situat'lon as follows. "A friendlv lawsuit has developed over disngfvements as to the proposed Marshall-Ktory drainage district No. 'J- The proposed district is southeast of Colo and south and southwest of •State Center, the district lying chiefly in Story county, but the agitation for tlie ditch coming chiefly from Mar shall countv. The engineer is a Mar shalltown man. and the commissioners appointed to consider the establish ment of the ditch are one from each county. The commissioner from Mar shall county and the engineer, also from that countv. have concurred in recommending the ditch but the Story county commissioner has recommended to the contrary. In this situation the auditor of Story county has declined to proceed with getting out the notices of hearing on the establishment of the ditch whereas it Is contended on be half of the petitioners that upon the report as made it Is his duty to get out notices. The question as to what Is the dutv of the auditor such a situation is a proper one to have ju diciouslv determined, and a suit lias been brought In mandamus to compel the auditor to proceed.

A very RIGHT Tell If You Know a Good Thing. When a man finds the true, food value of a preparation like Grape-Nuts, it .is no more than neighborly, to tell it to others. "I should feel responsible, to a de gree," writes an Ohio man, "for much human suffering were I to withhold from others the knowledge of the bene fits I have personally derived from the use of Grape-Nuts as an article of food. "Two years ago I began to feel a general tendency to collapse—had fre quent bilious attacks, was troubled with constipation and vertigo, also rush of blood- to the head causing temporary blindness. "Liver and stomach In bad condi tion, appetite and sleep became very irregular, memory began to slip away, legs became shakev and I found it necessary to use both hands In drinking from a cup. "Previous to this time I was in the habit of eating all I wanted of what ever was set before me. When the trouble came, I tried medicine without help, but I gradually grew so weak I liad to give up a lucrative fgovern­ ment position. "Whatever I ate disagreed with me, until my wife began feeding me on Grape-Nuts food. At first I at it spar ingly until I found it did not hurt me, then gradually increased the amount as my appetite demanded. For many months I have virtually lived on Grape Nuts, fruits and Postum. "The result is gratifying in the extreme. None of mv former difficul ties trouble ine now. In eating, sleep ing, action of bowels and kidneys, everything goes like clock work—no dizzy spells, no congestion of brain, no lack of memory, no trembling of limbs. "I weigh more than for ye^rs (I am G2) and enjoy long walks which were formerly impossible. No thanks to medicine, but all thanks to Grape-Nuts and Postum." "There's a Reason."

Rice of Columbia's crew returned to New York recently from Toronto, wherfe he attended the funeral of the l«te Ned Hanlan, the fa mous oarsmau and sculler, and arrived on the Columbia campus in time to sec the rowing machines set up for the winter indoofr season. He told of a plan of his to erect a monument in honor of the former champion, sub scriptions for which are being taken up by the people of Toronto, headed by the mayor, who announced through the Toronto press that he was strongly in favor of the memorial and looked for a large public subscription as well as an appropriation from Toronto, says the New York Times. Rice has headed the list with $100, and a public meeting will soon be held in Toronto to tnke definite steps in the matter. At Co lumbia, where Hanlan coached for three years, a subscription Is also be ing started for the monument. Among those Interested is Francis S. Bangs, one of the leaders in Columbia's row ing affairs and a steward of the Pough keepsie regatta. Toronto is about to establish a regat ta course whijh is'almost identical to the one over which Hanlan won his first famous race from Courtney. Rice proposes to uame this the Han lan memorial course and have a monu ment erected at the start opposite Han lan point. "This would be in sight of Hanlan's old cottage." he said, "and would remind the youngsters of poor) old Ned. the man who taught the world to row." A Costly Hat. Women's hats are both, common and •ostly. as a rule, but a woman In Brunswick who made no great preten tions to fashion holds the record for the highest price paid for an article of millinery. She bought a hat with a lottery ticket yrhich the merchant iccepted in place of the money. A few weeks la{pr the ticket drew the great prize of £15,000. and, though the woman's husband tried to Induce the werchnnt to share the results, he only received £25. That hat cost £14,975.— London Standard. Special Announcement Regarding the National Pure Food and Drug Law.

Cortelyou's Belated Report on Bond Issues Stirs the Ire of Upper House OBJECT TO PRINTED DOCUMENT Report Seems to Ruffle Dignity of Cul­ berson, Tillman and Others—South­ erner Puts His Pitchfork in Action— Senators Profess to See No Light in Report, AVashington. Jan. 30.—Secretary Cortelyou's long looked for report on the recent bond issues and other treasury operations consisted of a 15, 000 word pamphlet printed neatly in large type. A copy -was placed on each senator's seat. No doubt the sec retary thought he had made a satisfac tory job of his reply to the senate res o'lution of December 12 requesting tile information contained in the pamphlet, but some of the senators didn't think so, and the result was that a display of senate fireworks followed its pre sentation. Some senators objected to its hav ing been ('.Tinted. Others found other faults with it. and the row started be fore any of them had read a line of it. "I (1) nol recall an instance," said .Mr. Culberson, "in which a head of a department of the government lias answered a senate resolution in print ed form." "I ask the senator from Massachu setts," broke in Senator Tillman, turn ing to Senator Lodge, "who is such a stickler for senatorial dignity and senatorial rights, to reply to this in Uuiry." "I don't know," responded Mr. Lodge, "whether'a cabinet officer ever sent in a printed report of this kind as a convenience, and I do not think it is a matter of importance." Mr. Tillman retorted to this sugges tion by declaring: "The secretary of the treasury is as suming the airs of a president before he is elected to that office. The presi dent sends his message in this printed form, but I have never known a cab inet officer to assume to do this be fore." Senator Beveridge Interrupted, say ing: "I wish to call attention to the fact that i:he'criticism of the senator from South Carolina is evidently di rected to the 'airs' that the secretary has assumed." "I want the secretary to reply in an orderly manner," replied Mr. Tillman, "and in the same manner that has characterized his predecessors in of lice. He should send his report here and let us print it if we think lit. The senator cannot point to a solitary case in which the printing has been done beforehand." Mr. Tillman said there never lurd been such unaccountable delay in re plying to a senate resolution. "The secretary," he said, "had been in New York making speeches, and now he sends his labored report to us." Mr. Carter inquired whether Mr. Till man had read the report, and being told that he had not, declared that the port was in fact "labored" or whether it had been prepared "in a fluent man ner and with special skill." Mr. Tillman declared that the sen ator from Montana was partisan in his defense of the secretary. "I have not been in any case par tisan," retorted Mr. Carter, who then added amid general laughter, "all pres idential candidates would acquit him of being partisan." Mr. Tillman then declared that the printed part of the secretary's report was merely filled with assertions. Mr. Lodge said he was surprised at the senator from South Carolina. "I know no one," said Mr. Lodge, "who has pleaded so much for light and shows so much desire to have it shine in dark places as he, and yet when we. begin to shed light he resists because of the partial illumination. I think it a great convenience to have in printed form this reply summar izing the exhibits, all of which will be here tomorrow." "Does the senator assert there is any light in this pamphlet?" inter rupted Mr. Tillipan in high pitched tones, and then adding in falsetto: "I say 'Light,' 'Light,' 'Light.' Don't go off on anything else—light, light, light." "I think," replied Mr. Lodge, "there is abundant light in it, but whether the senator from South Carolina will be able to see it I do not know." Air. Culberson then took up the re port and said that upon a cursory ex amination he discovered that the sec retary admitted that he had not re plied to t:he» specific inquiries of the senate resolution. Senator Aldrich brought the debate on the report to a close by reiterating his statement that the secretary had simply put the whole statement in a convenient form, and that no fault could be found with such action. Then the senators began to read the re port An All-Round Man. William V. McManus. the- new pres ident of the Letter Carriers' associa tion of New York, had been discussing the ideal letter carrier. With a laugh he ended: "Yes, the ideal letter carrier needs to be as all-round, as many-sided, as di vinely gifted, as the man a Cincinnati suburbanite advertised for last month. "The advertisement ran: 'Wanted—A man able to teach Spanish, water-color painting and the violin, and to look after a bull.' The Overcome Panic. (From the New York Tribune.)
