VOLUME THIRTY-FOUR. 1 Subjects ot the Late King Carlos Flock to Pay Tribute to Dead Ruler NO DISORDER AT FUNERAL Lin* of Procession Packed With Throngs Whose Grief Seems Sincere —Presence of Military Forcesi Only Reminder of Crisis Confronting the Kingdom. \S Lisbon, Feb. 8—The funeral serv ices over the bodies of King Carlos and Crown Prince Luise was held in the Church of St. Vincent early this afternoon. The ceremonies were sim ,ple but impressive, and the final act in the bloody tragedy of February 1 was carried to a close without any untoward Incident. The line of the funeral procession from the royal chapel in the palace to the church was guarded by troops, several additional regiments having been brought into the city for the purpose. All the governments of Eu rope and America were represented Iby special missions. The day was one in which the Portuguese people united 'in prayer for their murdered king and prince. Oppressional, real or fancied, restriction of liberty, bitter clash of 'parties, sinister intrigue and merciless ,vengeance seemed all to have been abandon^ for the moment at least, as the nation prepared for the funeral. The streets were thronged with peo pie. They poured in from the coun try, towns or provinces and ft"om £.*nearls# cities, by train, carriage, cart V„f and on the cars. In the crowd were large numbers of simple peasants and ^tradesmen, from provinces who knew KJj» nothing of the political strife, but wished only to mourn the dead leaders. A Bits of crepe fluttered from the arms '£y., **of many persons in the city. In spite ot these general signs of Vniournins the crowded streets suggest ed to some observers a general fete day which the talking throngs were all bent On observing but to others the presence of large bodies of infant jh* rymen and cavalerymen at various points of prominence hatj a sinister IF 'ft significance and the suggestion of the H\i tragic events that had come and of those that might fall on the nation in the near future, but which, if pos sible, were to be forestalled. 1 1 Route Densely Lined, j. The route of march between the 3^ ^palace and the church was densely Mined by mourning people. One point, however, was carefully avoided by sus tu'' Plcious Portuguese. This was the spot Praca de Commercio, where the cold blooded inurders were committed j«Jast Saturday. Had it not been for the presence of the cavalry picket this 5 part of the praca would have been ab solutely deserted. All business houses and shops in Lisbon were shut and the ministerial offices situated in the 'Praca de Commercio were closed as a sb measure of precaution. Furthermore, Av all windows of the buildings were care pi"- fully shuttered. 1 fl f\ 1 (b V&R-" The funeral procession left the pal ace at exactly 11:30 on its long march of over three and one-half miles to the church of San Vicente, which is at tached to the royal pantheon, where the bodies of King Carlos and the crown prince finally will be laid at rest. Yielding to earnest solicitations, King Manuel did not take part in the .procession. He and his mother, Queen Amelia, and the mother of the late kign, wore present at the services in the mortuary chapel, and followed the oofflns to .the door of the chapel, Whence they returned to the palace. During thfe morning King Manuel re ceived the missions sent to Lisbon by the sovereigns and chiefs of state of foreign countries. The funeral cortege arrived at the church at 2 o'clock. It traversed the scene of the tragedy in the Praca de Commercio in absolute quiet. Services at Oporto,^ Oporto, Feb. 8.—Requief^ ass for the repose of the souls of the late king and crown prince of Portugal was cele brated in this city today.

SENTIMENT BARRED Congressman Jenkins Tells Anti-Sa loon League Representatives That Bills Are Not Reported for the Sake of Christianity. Washington, Feb. 8.—The feature ot the hearing of the- anti-saloon repre sentatives today before the house ju diciary committee was remarks by Judge John J. Jenkins, chairman of the committee, to Rev. S. E. Nicholson, who spoke for the American Anii-Sa loon league. The remarks were made at, the con clusion of an argument by Nicholson urging the adoption of the Littlefield. or some similar bill, prohibiting the shipping of liquor into prohibition ter ritory. Jenkins said that 90 per cent of the bills of the kind under discus sion brought before his committee were aimed at the very throat of the government. Men, full of sentiment would appear there, he declared, and urge the committee to report a bill and ask congress to pass a law to be tested before the supreme court. "iTour argument," said Jenkins, "is to'put it up to the supreme court. We are not here to report bills that appear to us to be uneonstiluional. It is our duty to prevent, if possible, the passage of laws that are unconstitu tional, and I do not think we should listen to you sentimental gentlemen when you try to over-persuade. We are trying to save this government and do not want to be continually re porting out bills for the sake of Chris tianity or anything else that will he turned down by the courts. 1 have been in prohibition territory and seen how the laws are .evaded. There I saw men with a prayer book in, one hand and knife for an enemy in tfhe other." Jenkins said politics had nothing to do with the work of the judiciary com mittee, but there was a diversity of opinion as to whether the various liquor bills were constitutional or not.

Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Feb. 8.—One and one half per cent of the hogs and one and one-third per cent of the cattle killed in Iowa packing houses have tuber culosis and the annual loss to the state Is nearly $2,000,000. These figures are obtained from the results of the investigation being made by Secretary John C. Simpson of the state board of agriculture. On instruc tions from the board at its annual meeting last December Mr. Simpson asked each of the thirteen packing houses in the state to report monthly the animals killed that later showed evidences of tuberculosis and were un fit for food. The first monthly reports are now in and the summary shows the figures given above. Furthermore the veterinarians of the state were asked to report monthly the number of animals they had sub jected to the tuberculin test and the number that were thus proven to have tuberculosis. More than 200 made re ports and these showed that 25 per cent of the hogs examined and 19 per cent of the cattle examined had tu berculosis. While the per cent is low the total is an enormous loss to the state. The investigation will be continued thruout the entire year and at the close of the year Mr. Simpson believes he will have a fairly accurate estimate of the ex tent of the prevalence of tuberculosis among the cattle and hogs of Iowa. There are according to assessors and census reports about six million hogs In the state and it is estimated that at least five million of these are sold each year for slaughter. The value of a 250 pound hog is about $11.25 and with one and a half, per cent of the hogs condemned each year as unfit for food because of tuberculosis it Is eas ily figured that the loss to the farmers is about $850,000 a year. The loss falls on the farmer for the packer must in buying the hogs fix a price that will take into account this loss. On the cattle an estimate must be more of a guess but it is believed that the loss is at least $1,250,000. It is be lieved that there are fully two million cattle sold for slaughter in Iowa year ly and one and a third per cent are, according to the first month's reports, found unfit for food. The efforts of the state board of agriculture will be to educate the farmers of the state to have their stock tested. Where stock is found to be affected by tuberculosis it can then be sold subject to a post mortem exam ination. The authorities all agree that cattle and hogs some times have tu berculosis without making them unlit for food. For instance, it is found to be frequently the case that an animal has tuberculosis of the lungs. The tu berculosis germs are confined in the lungs entirely and a microscopic ex amination of the quarters of the ani mal after it is killed show that they are not affected at all. The animal is therefore just as good for food as tho it never had tuberculosis. But it is held that a cow or hog -hav ing tuberculosis in the slightest degree should not be kept in a herd for the reason that it will grow worse rather than better and will give the disease to other animals of the herd by coming in contact with them just as it is transmitted from one person to an I other. Some of the farmers plead that the animal is killed they lose it. As a matter of fact the animal kept alive is worse than lost because it will transmit it to the entire herd. Extensive investigations were made recently at the State. Agricultural col lege which proved that tuberculosis is transmitted thru milk. A number of hogs were subjected to the test and found to be free from tuberculosis. They were then fed on milk from a cow that was known to have tubercu losis and it was thus transmitted to the hogs. A farmer with a tubercular cow in his herd runs the risk of his family catching it and furthermore runs the risk of the disease being transmitted to the other animals of the herd. Information from Clinton is that the big Allison meeting set to he held in that city Wednesday night of this week and at which Congressman Joe R. Lane of Davenport was to speak and lend his assistance towards the form ing of the Allison club, was not held. It was postponed to an indefinite date. When the first mass meeting to or ganize the club was called there were thirteen present. This is on the evi dence of letters received from Clinton people and on the evidence of two newspapers in Clinton. Later another meeting was held and but few more were present, and the completion of the organization of the club was post poned till Wednesday night of this week when Mr. Lane was to be pres ent and speak and help to perfect the '^"l?£W'~ "5 "vr?" Tt^W 3®rW .V V^ t?r V*^ 1*1 organization. It is not known now what the plans are for the future. It was extensively advertised in the standpat press that Senator Dolliver was to speak at Davenport during the month of January. He has not ap peared there yet and one week of Feb ruary lias gone by. These facts with the additional information that Cous ins and Birdsall have withdrawn from the race for congress, one in the Fifth which is a close district as between standpatters and progressives, and the other in the Third which is Allison' district, is the most encouraging nev, the progressives have received for some time. Withdrawal of Birdsall and Cousins is encouraging opposition in other districts of the state. In the seventh, even, where there Is little or no pos sibility of defeating Hull the opposi tion has taken a new lease on life and hot Howell and Coffin are showing signs of activity.

Situation in Fifth District Com plicated and No Candidate Decided Upon TREWIN MAY NOT ACCEPT Whipple's Candidacy Would Endanger Murphy's Chances in the Race for Lieutenant Governor Many Stand­ patters in District Already Pledged to Good. Special to Times-Repuuilcan. Cedar Rapids, Feb. 8.—The accep tance of the candidacy! of James W. Good by the leading progressives of the district means that there is to be a clean-cut fight in this district between the Cummins and anti-Cummins men. That was the sentiment expressed at the conference of standpatters held here last night with forty or fifty in attendance and every county in the dis trict represented. It was held that to permit the nom ination and election ot Good would be equivalent to surrendering the district to the progressives, and that this can not be allowed. Senator Trewin is the man whom a majority of the leaders want, but he said lastt night he was not a candidate, but he reserved his decision. Senator Whipple, of Benton county, is the next most acceptable man, but, the friends of Murphy say Whipple's candidacy might injure Murphy's chances for the lieutenant governorship, and they may make an effort to keep him out of the race, The fact that many standpatters in every county in the district had pledged Good their support previous to the withdrawal of Cousins from the race I has complicated matters and will have a tendency to discourage some who would otherwise have been glad to en ter the race. I Such men as Senator Stuckslager, one of the leading standpatters in the last legislature, have been among the lirst to sign Mr. Good's petition, and while the fight will be) on tightly drawn lines as between the opposing candidates, Good is assured of a strong following among Cousins' former sup porters.

Special to Times-Republican. Dubuque, la, Feb. 8.—The report ofr the Dubuque county grand jury yester day declared that tho much time had# been consumed in investigating th®^ 'waterworks scandal, it had been im-, possible to unearth evidence warrant ing indictments against the old trus-' tees.

Satet, Always Reliibl* SOLD BY DRUGGISTS EVERYWHERE I Democrats Decide to Jloltl Two Conventions in Cedar Kupiils a lid Sioux Citv COMMITTEE ENDORSES BRYAN Resolution Adopted Without Opposi­ tion—Porter and Clary Selected as Chairmen of Two Gatherings Proxy Votes Cause of Des Moines' Defeat. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Feb. S.—Because a mem ber of the democratic state central committee held several proxies Des .Moines was turned down and the two state conventions were given to Ce dar Rapids and Sioux City. The tirst convention will be held in Cedar Rap ids March -6 and the second at Sioux City July Des Moines was a candidate, for one of the conventions, but received only three votes—Miller of the First dis trict, Price of the Seventh and Jlc Ginty of the Eighth. Kelly of the Sixth would have been for Des Moines had he been at the meeting, but he had sent his proxy to Chairman Mil ler of the Third, who also held the proxy of Sears of the Eleventh, giving him three votes against Des Moines. Mr. Miller, the chairman of the committee, freely criticised Des Moines to members of the business men's committee asking him to give this city one. of the conventions. He ob jected to the way the newspapers had treated him and the committee. Democrats say that the trouble arose from the campaign which real Bryan men in Des Moines have led on behalf of the radicals for the control of the state committee, now in the hands of the conservatives, who have never for 'given the .interference that resulted in Mr. Bryan compelling one of their faction to relinquish his ambition to serve on the national committee, after the committee had unanimously in dorsed him. Claude R. Porter of Centerville, late democratic candidate for governor, was •elected for temporary chairman of the lirst convention, and Hon. Tim O. Clary of New Hampton, represen tative from Chickasaw county, was chosen for temporary chairman of the cond convention. Tie representation in the conven tion was fixed as formerly, except in 1906, by giving each county two dele gates .at large and one delegate for each 200 votes and majority fraction ther jof cast for Claude R. Porter for governor. Wnile the republicans had a warm contest over the basis of representa tion the democrats had no trouble, whatever, choosing the vote of Mr. Portir as the basis. He received about 19G 0('0 votes, so that it is figured that the democratic conventions will have from 1.000 to 1,200 delegates. Chair man Miller has not yet figured out the ratio, but will do so when he returns to hlJ home. The committee adopted the usual resolution Indorsing Mr. Bryan. It was offered by Committeeman Dalton of the Tenth district and was adopted with out dissent. It was then wired to Mr. Bryan. Its text follows Believing that the Waterloo conven tion correctly reflected the sentiment of the Io'wa democracy by unanimously indorsing William J. Bryan for the presidency in 1908 the democratic state central committee of loVsfa hereby un tjualifledly reindorses the great Ne btfaskan for the same high and honor able office. The adoption of this resolution an1 the maneuvering of the whole day merely emphasized the fact that the radical democrats and the conserva tives are playing a handsome game to gain control of the democratic party organization in this state. At the Waterloo convention the con servatives gained complete control, al tho, so overwhelmingly was the senti ment fqr Bryan that a resolution for him was eafiy 'adopted.' A persistent fight has been made ever since by the leaders of the radical wing in hope of gaininfccntrol for Bryan at the state Kidney Troubles FROM tHE LIVER. In his study of kidney disease, Dr. A.

Mr. Murray was cashier of the said bank and Mr. Al brook was a director in the bank and father-in-law of Mr. Murray so the plaintiffs aver that the advance of $17.50 an acre in so short a time was certainly known to Mr. Bales. The evidence further developed that Dr. Diehl purchased his 240 while la boring under a misunderstanding of its 'boundaries (the land is open prairie with no fences) and he testified that had he known what land he was get ting he would not have purchased it, He never had an offer on the land until after thei objection was filed to Mr. Bales' report, when he received an offer of $30 an acre, or $2 an acre less than he paid five years ago. The defense further averred that land in Murray county, Minnesota, was sell ing at from $40 to $42.50 per acre at the time Mr. Bales purchased the tract for the estate, and that the investment at the tine appeared to be a wise one. Judge L,ee evidently took this view of the question and overruled the ob jections to the final report. The ob jectors will appeal the case to the su preme court, however.

The story of how oranges came to Cali fornia is a tale well worth tiie telling— inseparably interwoven with the history of tiie early California Missions and the tireless energy and indomitable courage of the old Spanish Monks. Of course, oranges have been grown in other parta of the country besides Call to be qpite such faultless conditions of every sort for their successful cultivation. As far back aa the days of the very first permanent settlements in Florida, oranges were found growing wild there. It is probable that they were introduced by the early Spaniards, from them tho Indians no doubt obtained the seeds. As they wandered from savage camp to camp fulfilling the law of their roving nature, oranges went with them—so the seed was scattered over many miles of forests, up and down stream. Those open hardwood forests and live-oak groves made the re gion specially congenial to orange trees and in time they spread into great wild groves of wide extent. Of course, at that time," the fruit was In its natural state—sour and unpalatable —but even before the Civil War these sour oranges had been seized, upon by a few enterprising land holders and culti vated Into sweet oranges for family use. Absence of transportation in those sec tions rendered the orange valueless for commercial purposes at that early date and It was really not until about that Florida entered the lists as an orange growing state. The Florida orange in dustry made an enormous advance during the next few years, only to be checked by blizzards which swept the indte time and •gain. Killing frosts left their indelible mark on the orchards and the loss to the Florida orange industry was estimated at a hun dred million dollars. The ground lost at that time seems never to have quite been regained and orange culture has never since be®n followed In Florida with Just the same amount of confidence or success' as before. The Mississippi Delta sections shared practically the same unfortunate experi ence which befell the Florida crops. From the early settlements of Louisiana oranges had been grown In that part of the coun try, though there were no extensive groves in cultivation until after the close of the Civil War. And since the heavy frosts which did so much damage—both through out Florida and the Mississippi Delta— orange planting has made but slow prog ress there and only a few large groves are to be found In that section. 7&,000 ACHES OF ORANGE TREES I* CALIFORNIA. By way of contrast California has com pleted the task so well begun and brought orange culture to a state of perfection un dreamed of a few years ago. The traveler who stops for a cursory glance over the vast orchards of the Golden State learns that there are over 75,000 acres of land.in the California foot hills devoted to the cultivation of oranges that there are millions of trees growing in these orchards and that they represent an investment of more than $126,800,000 that 12,*00,^«0 boxes of oranges are shipped annually from the state, valued at $20,000,000. and that these California oranges are the finest in the world. This is California orange culture In fig ures and these splendid conditions of wealth and prosperity may have been In existence since the beginning of time to all outward appearances, so entirely have they become an accepted fact in connec tion with California statistics. But behind and beneath this prosaic array of dollars and cents, boxes and car loads. trees and ncres. there lies always the flrat difficult beginnings of this—as of every ether great enterprise. HORTICULTURE INTRODUCED BT HONKS. The world finds it hard to realize how much every new country owes, even in its commercial progress, to the efforts of the founders of its religious Institutions. In common with all our pastoral and agri cultural pursuits, California is Indebted to the Mission Fathers for its Introduc tion to horticulture. Orchards were planted and cultivated as best they could be with what crude agri cultural knowledge the Fathers could com mand. All sorts of f. ts were grown, es pecially of a tropical nature, which they were doubtless most familiar with—among them many oranges. Apples, pears, peaches, cherries and the northern grown fruits were Introduced at a later date by the Russians. Those monastery gardens would have been pictures of no small in terest to us today with their black-cas socked monks flitting in and out. tend ing their vines and trees, planting th'ir seeds and gathering their little harvests. According to history they must have raised all the best varieties of fruits in their orchards, but no effort was made to im prove or develop them, and they were grown without regard for commercial value—simply for the use of the Fathers and their servants. LAID FOUNDATION OF GIGANTIC INDUSTRY. Though the first to plant fruit trees on the Pacific shores, the Mission Fathers arrogated to themselves no glory for their achievement, but thought only of the im mediate and sorely pressing needs of their own little colony. All unknowing that the planting of those primitive orchards laid the lasting foundation for a gigantic In dustry, they "bullded better than they knew." The orchards of San Gabriel Mission, planted by Father Thomas Sanches in 1804 were among the most extensive of that early period and the first one out side the Missions was set out In 1834 by Louis Vignes in Los Angeles. This was only a small orchard and was for the use of his own family exclusively. From that time, in various parts of the state, other orchards sprang Into exist ence, none of them of any size, but all of them lncludtng more or less orange trees. Authorities toll us that the planting of these first orange trees In California was ^ilSIS^pp THE ORANGE IN ROMANCE AND REALITY INTERESTING STORY OF I/IS CULTIVATION FOE THE X'AST THOUSAND YEARS—PERFECTED BX GROWERS IN CALIFORNIA Ey 0.

I8S0 Do It Now •sjprr -•i GOLD FEVER AND FRUIT ERA. COINCIDES!. The real fruit era began in 1849 when the gold fever was at its height. While' most of the immigrants were intent only upon the precious metal, some few, more far seeing than the rest, obtained posses sion of the old orchards and reaped tre-,. w, mendous profits as the result of their en-, terprise, as it was possible to obtain ex orbitant prices tor their products. Commercially, orange culture has exist ed in California since 1872, which marks' the entry upon the scene of the now fa-: mous "Washington Navel" the only abso-i. luteiy seedless orange. Until that time, though a few were M-: In^r raised in Florida, the bulk of the. oranges used in this country were lm ported from the Mediterranean blood. oranges from Valencia, Spain and Malta:, aromatic, delicious little Tangiennes and, Mandarins from St. Michaels and Lisbon Seville or bitter oranges from Seville. Seedless oranges were unknown until re-i icent vears, and the first of them were ac-. counted freaks of nature, their origin un discovered. FIRST SEEDLESS ORANGES COKE FROM BRAZIL. They were first introduced Into our, country, so it Is said, through the Joint efforts of one Wm. Saunders, connected with the Department of Agriculture, A. Mrs. L. C. Tibbetts, his relative, and Win. F. Judson, U. S. Consul to Bahia. Brazil, In South America there are certain. tropical locations where the orange is. found growing wild, sometimes forming veritable forests. This is explained by tho fact that parrots are said to De extremely fond of the fruit and so carry the seeds about, thus spreading the growth. There,. every part of the wood is considered of' value It is very hard with close, even. grain, and is used for turning, engraving inlaid and cabinet work, and handsome sticks are made from the branches ana shoots. From some of the natives, Consul Judson learned of a variety of orange which was of vastly superior flavor and had no seeds. They had found a few trees growing in swamp on the north bank of the Amazona sixty miles inland. With a wise instinct for the interesting possibilities In sucn scientific matters, and true insight into the economic value of a discovery of that. sort, Mr. Judson forthwith despatched hia natives back up the river with minute in structions to return with some of the fruit and shoots in perfect condition. These were carefully packed and shipped to Mr. Saunders of the Department of Ag-: riculture at Washington, who applied all his knowledge and skill to keeping th« shoots alive until they could be properly experimented with OWE THEIR SUCCESS TO A TT0KA1T. The following year Mrs. Tlbbets wrote Mr. Saunders that her husband had pur chased land in Riverside, California, and requested some orange trees which would be suitable for propagation. Four of the precious South American shoots were turned over to her without much hope of their ever making good their reputation. On the Tlbbets reach the four shoots were cared for and anxiously watched over but in spite of the vigilance of the whole family, one of the shoots succeeded In getting itself eaten up by a cow and' another died for no apparent reason- and then there were two. Contrary to everybody's expectations those two shoots continued to grow until the bearing age was reached—and bore seedless fruit. At the second fruitage, awaited with breathless interest, history repeated itself and these seedless oranges still remained seedless oranges. Then excitement was rife among tho fruit growers, and the Tibbets Riverside orchard was the objective point of many a California ranchman. Here the thrifty New England spirit asserted itself and Mrs. Tibbets began to sell buds from .her two marvelous trees at $1.00 per bud.—1 and there was almost a run on the trees. But the supply continued to meet the de mand until finally the market took a slump and Riverside seedless orange buds were bringing only $5.00 a dosen. -SEE- Gregory Coal, Coke Lime About Your Winter Fuel By that Time Riverside Buds had be-. come quite the fashion and there was scarcely a self respecting orange grove in the state that was not the proud pos sessor of an old tree with new buds, and a few years later there were tens of thou sands of trees bearing navel oranges propagated from the two originals at Riverside. The first title given this new California orange was Bahia Navel, then Riverside Navel and eventually Washington Navel was settled upon as most fitting and most universally satisfactory. So "Washington —King of Navels" takes its place of honor. at the head of the list of present-day oranges. NATELS REVOLUTIONIZE ORANGE INDUSTRY. The Washington Navel has revolution ized the California orange industry from every viewpoint. It has taken nearly 15, 000 men from other pursuits, transformed vast areas of sun-baked land Into beauti-i ful orange groves and through Its culti vatlon Riverside has grown from a little hamlet of 30 American inhabitants Into a, prosperous town of about twenty thousand 1— CJ U. onbwo Wendell P.

Settled by a Code of Their Own—Deadly Hatred Between Them Special to T'lmes-Rcpublican. Council Bluffs, Feb. S.—It was as tho a province from the Sicily Is lands had been transplanted and set down in the police court of Council Bluffs today, -when kings, princesses and nobles and other persons of less er degree in importance, all playing a part in one of the most tangled stories cf a gypsy vendetta, were called to unravel Jthe mystery sur rounding their troubles. It was the climax to a series of alleged robberies, abductions and hair breadth escapes from furious enemies in which are linked the names of nu merous proud des^ndents of-jan an­ cient and blue-blopded race. Joe Ma rino, Melio Marino and Dimitri Owana, three gypsies were under arrest charged with larceny, preferred by a fellow countryman, Arnelio Mitchell, the latter a gypsy king. Culmination of a Long Feyd. Tie arrest of these three men was the culmination of a long standing fued between the Mitchells and the Marinos, in which the abduction of the two girls ha$ been the incentive to the recent frequent reopening of ifioetllities, the girls uncommon beau ties among their race. Joe Marino, the eldest of the three men, is past 64 years old, and is the father of Melio and Ducian Merino. The troubles of the two factions be came a public matter when Mitchell charged Ducian iMarlno with abduct -Ing Mitchell's daughter, Marie, and :C also with the theft of $1,500, which It was claimed the pair took away jji i- arith them, and which resulted in their .arrest at Alexandria, Va., but who auccessfijlly evaded extradition after -Sv 'ti1: ltn) Vn AM IfiBllAi) filiie papers had been issued. 5 Joe Marino, the father of the boy, %How claims that Mitchell, (failing to v'%et Ducian for the theft, has caused the arrest of himself and his other aon Melio.

Girl Makes a Confession, ft The girl, since returning to Council S Bluffs in the company of her uncle, ll John Mitchell, is said to have told her father all about the details of the flight. She said, according to the statement made by the attorney, who is pushing the case for the gypsy king, that the four men divided the money 5'. on the bridge between here and Oma ha, the Omaha gypsies taking $500 each and members of the Council Bluffs camp taking $250 each. The three in jail did riot go east with their com 1 rades and the girl, but are said to have been in Omaha since. They were en i' ticed across the river and fell into the trap to arrest them. Settlement in Court Rare. It is a rare thing that differences be tween these tribes ever reach the courts, as they are usually settled by a code of their own which means war to the death. The attorney who has taken the case for the gypsy king said he declined to secure the arrests until matters had reached a climax with them, and that it was only to prevent a killing that the step was taken. And it is by no means certain it will end in court. Deadly hatreds have been engendered that will not be extin guished by any court procedure, and the auuhorities do not relish the pros pect of having to maintain an espion age over the warring factions after the court episode is closed.

Rates $2 to $3 Per Day Meals 50 Cents v: One of the Important Duties of Physicians and the Well-informed of the World is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California tig Syrup Co., bv reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjov good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the W'ell-Informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long ,and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Weil-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name1 of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as j-Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known bjr the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, tke regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle.

Ernest Hart, of Council Bluffs, a creature of BIythe's in politics and national committeeman, was there, so were Lewis Aliles, a federal official, and several men of large business af fairs close to the transportation inter ests of the country- It would seem from tlieir presence .that the blind of the Allison candidacy is to be kept up for some weeks lotiger, at least until i: can be definitely decided who is the strongest man to substitute ill his place against Cummins. But there are signs of shifting scenes as unmistakable as the shrill whistle of the stage manager audible from the wings to those on the first row seals. The old age argument is to be reversed and turned upon the men who have been working it against Allison. Allison is 79. Cummins is r7. Shaw Is 69 and Walter I. Smith is 45. Those who have been unable to meet the old age objection to Allison when Cummins is 22 years younger, would now put the Cummins men on the de fensive by opposing him with Smith, some twelve years younger than Cum mins. There are plenty of newspaper warnings that this is a 1'avorite pro gram with many. What to do with Shaw Is the source embarrassment. He has determined to butt Into Iowa politics al: some point regardless of his residence in New York state. If he could choose he would run for president but he lias confidence in his campaigning abilities and he Is volunteering to run against Cummins with such persistency as to amount to insistence. In his case the age argument would be a stand-off and a comparison of records in the governor's office would become the is sue. The antls can always Je depended upon to make blunders enough to fur nish the necessary vehicles for the progressive crowd and in this lies sick and feeble. Under all probability his name will never come before merchandise. The exchange It is my opinion that if an advertis ing contract were entered into in good faith between a publisher and a rail road company whereby a certain speci fied amount of transporation is to be exchanged for a certain specified amount of advertising—the company receiving in advertising the same, val-' ue that it would receive in money, and the publisher receiving in transporta tion the same value that he would re ceive in money for the same service— that this would not be in violation of the anti-pass law of 1907. I see nothing in the act that would prohibit a* publisher from receiving transportation from a railroad com pany providing he receives it In good faith and gives the same value for It that others would have to give. If a publisher does $100 worth of work In advertising, at regular rates, for a rail road company, I can see no violation in the letter or spirit of the law by his receiving pay In $100 worth of trans portation if he cho6ses, Instead of re ceiving $100 in cash ana in that event such transportation could not be termed free transportation any more than if the publisher received the $100 in cash and bought $100 worth of transportation with It. Therefore, a contract to that effect between the publisher and the railroad company would, In my opinion, be val id and would not be In violation of the anti-pass law. /The contract so made must be in good faith and not a sub terfuge, for if it appears that a large amount of transportation Is being re ceived for a very small amount of ad vertising. or If the rates of advertising are different from the usual and cur rent rates charged by the publisher to another person for a like service, then such contract would be regarded as a mere evasion of the law.

Can- I didates for delegates from the con gressional districts have already an nounc-d and they are "for" one man, or another for president. In the case of Marshall county the candidate for' delegate from the congressional dis trict lias announced himself as a Taft man. Tie must have his county back of him to carry the district and he I must carry the ward and township caucuses in order to have his county, so the candidacy of Taft for president has already been brought down to the general voters of the party within the various precincts. Many a man thinks he is dealing in local personalities in his ward caucuses and local likes and dislikes usually cut a large figure in the line-up, but, in fact, the men who attend a precinct caucus are taking a hand in the nomination of a party candidate for president of the United States. Such is the machinery of party polities in a government which aims' to derive all power from the people governed. Topics of the Times It is said that President jnmclVi Marshall.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The rea son assigned in Mr. Cousins' letter, which is published in our news col umns, is good, indeed. In and of itself, but it does not cover the whole ground. The inner facts reveal additional fruit age of the Pactional spirit that has as sailed the party in Iowa under the Cummins regime. The big machine at Des Moines, which is seeking to re tire Senator Allison, is also after the scalps of Senator Dolliver, Congress man Hepburn, Cousins and other steadfast republicans who have done so much to give Iowa prominence and potency in national politics and na tional legislation. Eight times con secutively Mr. Cousins has been nom inated for congress by acclamation. Mr. Ho.lge of the First district en joyed a similar honor four times in succession and, grateful to his con stituents for their confidence and un wavering friendship, refused to sub ject tlicm or the party to the factional strife that the Cummins people threat ened. The first district was over whelmingly standpat, but Mr. Hedge was not content with less than an unanimous renomination. The Fifth district, also, is standpat and strongly republican. Mr. Cousins could have had the nomination again if he had desired it, but, like Mr. Hedge, he did not want it if it had to come thru a. contest, and anything less solid than by acclamation. Mount Pleasant News: Congress man Cousins, who from the saine plat form as Congressman Lacey, threw insult upon insult upon Governor Cum mins, today, after being elected to congress for eight consecutive times from tha Fifth district, bows to the inevitable and announces that lie will not be a candidate for renomination for congress at the primaries.

John Thompson) Protestants and Catholics are agreed that some place of purgatory is need ed to fit the soul for heaven. So the Protestant has his purgatory as well as the Catholic. The difference is a difference in kind, time, and place. The Catholic has a purgatory after death, while the Protestant has .his purga tory before death. The Catholic pur gatory is a place of tribulation, torturing pains and fires. The Protes tant finds his purgatory at the cross of Jesus Christ, and the fire that .burns and purifies him Is the Are of enthusiastic devotion to Jesus Christ. Religion is to a man who finds his purgatorv at the cross of Jesus Christ, and the set rules or cold observance of ordinances.

(Christian Advocate) "It avoids all conflict with the world.

But against pride-producing and extravagant fashions of the world it utters but a faint protest, or none.

A la: re majority of the professors of Christ's religion seek their most in timate associations in worldly society, and never think of lifting up their voices against the prevalent folly and dissipation.

"Presbyterianism and Polygamy*." The congruousness of Presbyterian ism and polygamy Is at present a topic of debate in the journals of the south ern branch of that denomination. It re sults from the action of the general assembly, which, says the' Rev. S. F. Tenny in The Presbyterian Standard practically allows "foreign mission aries to receive heathen converts into church membership without requiring them to give up all their wives except one, as in the wisdom of our mission aries It may seem best to do so." This the writer asserts "must be construed as giving the countenance of our church, and encouragement to poly gamy." In opposition to such an at titude lie writes: "The brethren who defend the Assem bly's action lay great stress upon the unmerciful feature of requiring an African or Chinaman to abandon one or more wives and a number of chil dren. Do these brethren not know the same unmerciful feature prevailed when Ezra by God's direction required men of Israel to abandon their heathen wives and children? Does not this same cruelty appear when the civil law sends a criminal to the penitentiary, or to the gallows, tearing him away from a helpless wife and dependent children? And yet we say this is right. Right is right, even if it does incidentally lead to much suffering of women and chldren. Why did our Savior inject so much cruelty in his religion when he laid down the rule that his disciple must deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow the Master—knowing in many instances this would involve the loss of earthly goods, and snap asunder the tendere^t human ties, besides the endurance of most cruel sufferings of the body? Why did not he and his church lean to mercy's side and allow church mem bers to suppress their consciences, and outwardly to deny Christ before men while in their hearts they claimed to love him? It would be far better for the church to contribute funds to aid abandoned wives, and to provide or phans' homes for the care and training of their children, if need be, rather than receive a man into church mem bership while he still cleaves to his plural wives. Is It not notorious that the Mormons Justify themselves for not obeying the antlpolygamy laws because of the cruelty Involved In their put ting? away all their wives and chil dren, except one wife and her chll- dren?

It has been authentically announced that the Western League will increase its size from ,=ix to eight clubs. Such is said to be the determination of President O'Neill, and it is understood that the subject to come up before the meeting of the league to be held in Omaha early next week. It is even said that the con:ing meeting' is to be held principally for the purpose of in creasing the membership of the cir cuit. This proposed action has been vigorously denied by George Tabeau. St. Joseph, Mo., is to be one of the two new cities to furnish a club, but tho name of the other one has not been made public. The annual regatta of tho Central States Rowing Association is to be held at Burlington, provided Burlington wants to take the task of raising the $700 necessary to pay the expenses. The dates fixed are July 25 and -6. Burlington is not a member of the as sociation, but an invitation has been extended to all of the rowing clubs of that city to join. The central associa tion is made up of clubs of Chicago, and Quincy and other Mississippi val ley cities. A league of basket ball teams from militia companies of the state is be-. Ing organized, and the prospects are that twelve or fourteen companies will join. Captain Philpot, of Company G, Fort Dodge, is actively interested in the proposed league. Webster City has been chosen as the meeting place of the Boone Valley High School Athletic Association's an nual event early next summer. The date has not yet been fixed but it will be held before the state high school meeting comes off in Des Moines. Ames has taken up basket ball for the first time in the history of the in stitution. The management of the ath letic association has leased the city armory and turned it over to the use of the squad, and there already half a dozen teams are working out. There will be a class series played for the college championship, and a team may be put In the fiel-i for the state cham pionship. A conference will be held in Chicago next week between Frank Gotch and William W.

It is probable that the time will be not far from April i, and the place either Chicago, Kansas City or the fair grounds be tween St. Paul and Minneapolis. President Carson of the Central league has announced his staff of um pires for the season of 1908. The staff •is as follows: Frank Killen, Seewekee, Pa. John McKenzie, Terre Haute Ollie Chill. Indianapolis John "Pipes" Connolly, Chicago. The first three men umpired oh the circuit last year. The next meeting of the Missouri Valley conference will be held either March 7 or March 14 in Kansas City. At that- time the question of new members will be decided. It is practic ally certain that Ames, Drake, Wash burn and Oklahoma will be admitted, altho only Ames has accepted the in vitation of the conference unqualified ly. Drake has asked for instructions, and it is believed that as soon as the requisite faculty management can be arranged for that institution will be in line for admission. Only five of last year's squad will be on "Ducky" Holmes' pay roll of the Sioux City team for the coming sea son Weed, second Granville, short Campbell in the outfield, and Corbett and Williams pitch. A number of new men have been signed for try-outs, among them being Severeid of Des •Moines, Baker, a Winnebago Indian, and Harry King and Fred Clark from the Southern league.

Oddity in the News Boy on Peculiar Plea. Chicago.—Fred Julius Karchoreck, 15 years old, 271- Keeley street who was arrested after he had broken the seal of a grain ear owned by the Chicago Junction railroad at Twenty-Seventh street, was released by Judge Tuthill when his case was called in the juven ile court yesterday. Karchoreck won the sympathy of the judge when he said: "1 'did not have the money with which to buy corn for my chickens, 1 took the grain from the car." Karchoreck was arrested by Special Policeman lidgeworth. He told the court that he saw the boy enter the ear and reappear carrying a sack of grain. On his promise not to steal again, even for the sake of his chick ens, the boy was released. Before, leav ing the court room the boy and the judge shook hands. Baby 6 Months Old Swims. Chicago.—"Come on, felltrs. Beat you to the swlmmin' hole. First dive." Leland Henry Anderson, 6 month. old, Chicago's champion strong baby, does not exactly say this, but he look,s it when his mother, Mrs. Lewis H. An derson, 5346 Jackson avenue, puts him at the head of the bath tub and lets him shoot the shoots down into the water and splash his way across. "You see. people won't believe a tiny baby like that can swim unless they actually see him," said Mrs. Anderson as she caught the young champion un der the chin when he reached the west end of the porcelain "switnmin' hole" and headed toward the east end again. "But a baby that gets athletic train ing from the moment he commences smashing up the local rattle box sup ply naturally takes to deep water and the fascination of bath water surf. "Leland is a natural baby, brought up in a natural way, and encouraged in all the natural instincts for the preservation of life and survival of tho fittest. You drop a tiny kitten in a pail of water and you will see the kit ten swim. It is just as natural for the unconscious child if he has been en couraged to exercise. At first I kept my hand under his chin so he would n't get water in his mouth, but now he just naturally keeps his chin above water and makes for tho other end of the tub with all the glee of a 12-year old." "Gr-rr-awsh." said Baby Leland aa he struggled to 'reach the chain to the plug at the lower end of the tub and pull himself to the faucets. Strong Animal Instinct. San Francisco, Cal.—Guided entirely by animal instinct a greyhound trav eled 1,500 miles back to a kennel in Oakland, Cal. Sent to t.hc west part of Montana last December, the dog yesterday ap peared at its old home in Oakland, much to the surprise of "Doc" Michael Ryan, its former owner. When the travel stained and foot weary greyhound appeared at the ken nels Ryan went out to drive it away. Upon seeing him the dog gave an eager bark and leaped to welcome him. "Am I dreaming?" queried Ryan, but the lick of the greyhound's tongue against his face assured him that he was very much awake. Don't Snore in Class. Minneapolis, Minn.—"Don't snore In class.

"Give the cow plenty of water to dring," she continued. "If you can get the cow to water her milk it will ease your conscience. "I sincerely believe that women are better adapted to look after a cow farm than men. There is a bond of sympathy between the bovine mother and a woman. Don't try to buy all pure blood stock.

ST. Hoffman as a donation. In his petition the Rev. Hoffman states that his reason for not turning the money over to the college ia that the college, in its teachings, scouts the story of the Garden of Eden and the swallowing of Jonah by the whale. He declares that "in view of these facts," he does not want to pay the $5,000. as he "has no desire to indorse heresies."

Car, It Is Said, Can Take It at Ninety Milei. an Hour In Perfect Safety. Philndelphiii capital and enterprise have planned to builil Immediately tlie largest aud fastest automobile track in the world, says the Philadelphia In quirer. Before next summer arrives it is expected that the course will be ready and that new world's records galore will go down on the pages of niotoriug history. The only track that can compare witli It ie the BrooUlands of England, where S. I«\ Edge has made marvelous time iu twenty-four hours and foi shorter periods. So safe will the course be that a car can take It at the rate of ninety miles an hour without the slightest danger of an accident. •Since the course will have no com petitors in the I'nited States it will become national in the interest it cre ates, and thus Philadelphia will be the center of speeding, and ay the great cars constructed in the United States and abroad will be sent there to com pete. For enterprise and daring Phlladel phia has long ranked ahead of any eity of the nation, aud ou the tirst signa from the American Automobile associ atiou, the controlling automobile bod in the l.'nited States, that racing or mile or half mile horse tracks woult be discountenanced the American mo tordronie was organized and has now proceeded to such a stage that succesi is certain. No club affiliated with tlu American Automobile association wltl auy degree of respect for the lives o, competitors would attempt to hold a race meet ou a mile track now, am. free lince promoters would not bi permitted to make the attempt, for a!) who participated would be declared outlaws. So It remained for enterpris ing capitalists to undertake the great •task, and Philadelphia will have the honor of Inaugurating the first great track the Uuited States has ever known and what will prove the fast est in the world. A beautiful plateau just beyond Lla nercli on the West Chester pike has been selected from a number of sites, aud there 213 acres of ground havt bpeu purchased. The location is ideal. It is but little over half an hour from the center of Philadelphia, the specta tor taking the elevated to the termi nus arid then the West Chester Trac tion company cars to the track. The latter company is already. making plans to lay a spur directly, to the course, which is but a short distance from the company's main line. So short is the traveling distance and so low the rate of fare that thousands and thousands of people will take in the great battles of motor cars that are planned. "The course will be between two and three miles In length and will be 100 feet wide at the narrowest part." said President Louis Bergdoll the other day, "while the turns, which will be a quarter of a mile long, will be 11J5 feet wide, with an elevation of 30 per cent, which will make the greatest speed absolutely safe. "Engineers are already at work on laying out the track, and as soou as their plans are completed contracts will be let for the building of the course. It is planned to have the track made of concrete and cinders, the sur 'iface being just rough enough to pre vent skidding. Such a composition gives the tires every chance to take a firm hold, and with the splendid grades wonderful time should be the result." Mr. Bergdoll added that one of the great features of such a track was the absence of dust, which has caused it great many fatal accidents in automo bile races. "Have you noted," he said, "that there has not been a single ac cident at the Brooklyn course? And there will not be if drivers use any de gree of caution. An accident on our course would be almost impossible." Immense grand stands and field seats are on the plans, so that a great throng may be taken care of. Besides, there are two large public garages and ev ery other feature that will be welcom ed by motorists. There Is no one feature of the plans more interesting than the formation of li great automobile club, which will have a gorgeous building for/1 club house and every convenience and pleas ure that a country club could offer, with the added advantage of the use of the track at any time for members. This club, now in the process of forma tion, will have, besides the automobile features, a long golf course, tennis and plenty of room for all other field sports. The clubhouse will contain bedrooms, so that members can reside there throughout the summer months. There is to be a swimming pool sev eral hundred feet long among the oth er features. For the benefit of these members it is also said that there will be a large garage, parking spaces for the automobile races and a complete machine shop where repairs will be made at cost and a small accessory store where the members may buy at cost. The location of the track will be ideal for motorists, surrounded as it is by several roads. Entrances will be constructed at three or four points. These will be subways, so that no one, either spectators or f*acs, will have to go across the track. PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS. PAZO OINTMENT is guaranteed to cure any case of Itching.

But there were two people who had not forgotten him-Howard Quarrler and Beverlj I'lank and one other, a third, who coujd not yet forjret him if she would, but as yet she had not tried very des perately. The day that Siward left New York to vl*lt everybody's friend, Mr. Mul queen. In the country, Plank called on him for the second time in his life and was presently received in the south drawing room, the library beiug lim ited to an Informality and intimacy not for Mr. I'lank. Siward. still lame and using uuskill fully two shiny new crutches, came dowji the stairs aud stumped into the drawing room, which, iu spite of the somber, clustering curtains, was bright ly illuminated by the winter sunshine reflected from the snow In the street. Piauk was shocked at the change in liitu—at the ({host of a voice, listlessly formal at the thin, nerveless hand of fered startled so that he forgot bi shyness and retained the bony hand tightly in his and instinctively laid hi: other great cushionlike paw over it. holding It imprisoned, unable, to speak, unconscious, in the Impulse of the moment, of the litierty he -permitted himself and which he had never dream ed of taking with such a man as Si ward. The effect on Siward was composite —his tired voice ceased surprise, in ability to understand, tinged with iu stinctivo displeasure, were succeeded by humorous curiosity, and very Blow ly It became plain to him that this beefy young man liked him, was rtive ly concerned about him, felt friendly toward him and was showing It as spontaneously as a child. "I thought I'd come," began Plank, growing redder and redder as he be gan to realize the enormity of familiar ity committed only ou the warrant of Impulse. "You don't look well." "It was good of you to think of me," said Siward. "Come up to the library If you've a few minutes to spare an invalid. Please go first. I'm a trifle lame yet" "I—I am sorry," muttered Plauk "very, very sorry." At first, in the- library. Plank was awkward and silent, finding nothing say and nowhere to dispose of hi hands until Siward gave him a ciga to occupy his fingers. Siward rang for tea, although tin hour was early. After a little wlii' either the toast or the tea appeared act on Plank as a lingual laxative, fo he began suddenly to talk, which I characteristic of bashful men, and S: ward gravely helped him on when li floundered and turned shy. After little matters went very well wit' them, and Plank, much more at ea^ 'than he had ever dared to hope could be with Siward. talked and tal' ed, and Siward. his crutches across knees, lay back In his armchair, chat ting with that winnihg informality so becoming to men who are unconscious of their charm. Watching I'lank, it occurred to him gradually that litis great, cuniberstome creature was not a shrewd, thrifty, self made and self finished adult at all—only a big. wistful, lonely boy without comrades aud with nowhere to play. Plank spoke of himself after awhile, sounding the personal note with tenta tive timidity. Siward gravely encour aged him, and in a little while the out lines of his crude autobiography ap peared, embodying his eventless boy hood iu a Pennsylvania town, his ca reer at the high school, the dawning desire for college equipment, satisfied by his father, who owned shares In the promising Deepvale Steel Plank company: the unhappy years at Har vard—hard years, for he learned with difficulty solitary years, for he was not sought by those whom he desired to know. Then he ventured to speak of his father's growing interest in steel, the merging and absorbing of Independent plants, his own entry up on the scene on the death of his fa ther, and—the rest—material fortune and prosperity, which perhaps might stand substitute as a social sponsor for him stand perhaps for something of what he lacked In himself, which only long residence amid the best, long formed habits for the best or a long inheritance of the best could give. Did Siward think so? Was the best be yond his reachV Was it hopeless for such a man as he to try? And why? "Is it worth while?" repeated Plank, flushing heavily. "It is worth while to me. 1 wish to be able to go where such men as you go be permitted, asked, desired to be part of what you always have been part of. Is it a great deal I ask? Tell me, Air. Si ward—for I don't know—is it too much to expect?" "I don't think it is a very high am bition," said Siward. smiling^ "What you ask is not very much to ask of ilfe, Mr. Plank." Plank laughed a little, and his squar ed jaws relaxed then after a few mo ments' thought: "It is curious that what you cast away from you so easily I am waiting for with all the patience I have in me. And yet It is always yours to pick up again whenever you wish, and I may never live to possess It." He was so perfectly right that Si ward said nc/Jng-rin .fact, he could ih 1308 rzbxmxg J9L Chancc Copyright, 1000, by the Cartls Publishing Company. Copyright, 1900, by Robert \V.

He was. now that he knew Plank, con tented to accept hlni anywhere he met him. but Plank's upward evolution^ upon the social ladder were of no in terest to him, and his naive snobberj was becoming something of a bore. So Siward directed the conversation into other channels, and Plank, accept ing another cup of tea, became very communicative about his stables and his dogs. "I would you—I should like to ask ou to try some shooting at the Fells," stammered i'lank, "next season if you would enre to." "You're very good. 1 should like to if I were going to shoot at all, but 1 fancy my shooting days are over for awhile." "Over!" "Business." nodded Siward, absently grave again. "I see no prospect of my Idling for the next year or two." "You are In—in Amalgamated Elec tric, I think," ventured Plank. "Very much in." replied the other frankly. "You've read the papers and !ieard rumors. I suppose?" "Some. I don't suppose anybody quite understands the attacks on Amal gamated." "I don't—not yet. Io you?" I'lank sat silent: then his shrewd under lip began to protrude. "I'm wondering." he began cautious ly. "how much the Algonquin crowd understands about the matter?" Siward's troubled eyes were on him as he spoke, watching closely, nar rowly. "I've heard that rumor before," he said. "So have I." said Tlank. "and it seems incredible." He looked warily at Siward. "Suppose it is true that the Algonquin Trust company Is god father to Intercounty. That doesn't explain why man should kick his own door down when there's a bell to ring and servants to let him In—and out again too." "I have wondered." said Siward. "whether the door he might be Inclin ed to kick down is really his own door any longer." "I. too," said Plank simply. "It may belong to a personal enemy—if he has liny. He could afford to have an ene my. 1 suppose." Siward nodded. "Then hadn't you better— I beg your pardon! You have not asked me to ndvise you." "No. I may ask your advice some day. Will you give it when I do?" "With pleasure," said Plank, so warmly disinterested, so plainly proud and eager to do a service that Siward, surprised and touched, found no word to utter. Plank/ rose. Siward attempted to stand up, but bad trouble with his crutches. "Please don't try," said Plank, com ing over aud offering his hand. "May I stop in again soon? Oh, you are off to the country for a month or two? I see. You don't look very well. I hope it will jieuefit you. Awfully glad to have seen yoii. I—I hope you won't forget me—entirely." "I am the man people are forget ting," returned Siward, "not you. It was very nice of you to come. Yon are one of very few who remember me at all." "I have very few people to remem ber," said Plank, "and If I had a many as I could desire I should re member you first." Here he became very much embav rassed. Siward offered his hand again. Plank shook it awkwardly and went away ou tiptoe down the stairs, which creaked, decorously under his weight. And that ended the first interview between Plank and Siward in the first days of the latter's decline. The mouths that passed during Si ward's absence from the city began to prove rather eventful for Plauk. He was finally elected a member of the Patroons club without serious op position he had dined twice with the Kemp Ferralls he and Major Bel wether were seen together at the Caith ness dance and in the Caithness box at the opera. Once a respectable news paper reported him at Tuxedo for the week's end his name, linked with the clergy, frequently occupied such space under the column headed "Ecclesias tical News" as was devoted to the progress of the new chapel, and many old ladies began to become familiar with his name. At the right moment the Mortimers featured him be'tween two fashionable bishops at a dinner. Mrs. Vendenning, who adored bishops, immediately re merabered him among those asked to her famous annual bal poudre, a cele brated yacht club admitted him to membership, a whole shoal of excel lent minor clubs which really needed new members followed suit, and even the rockrlbbed Lenox, wearied of its own time honored immobility, display ed the preliminary fidgets which boded well for the stolid candidate. Yes, he was doing well, for that des potic beauty, Sylvia Landis, whose ca pricious perversity had recently aston ished those who remembered her In her first season as a sweet, reasonable and unspoiled girl, was always friend ly with him. That must be looked up on as important, considering Sylvia's unassailable position and her kinship to the autocratic old lady whose kindly ukase had for generations remained the undisputed law in the social sys tem of Manhattan. At a ball at the Pages', to which Mrs. JjorUniei' topis. Jiirn, PuuU*. uxet .gylyta. a "W I s?:,£*& 1 I ,1 "Vj •ft Her escort, FerraTT "notfdecT"to him pleasantly. She leaned forward from Ferrall's arm, saying under her breath: "I have saved a dance for you. Please ask me at once. Quick! Do you want me?" "I—I do," stammered Plank. Ferrall, suspicious, stepped forward to exchange civilities, then turning to the girl beside him: "See here, Sylvia, you've dragged me all over this house on one pretext or another. Do you want any supper, or don't you? If you don't, it's our dance." "No, I don't. No, It Isn't. Kemp, you nnnoy me." "That's a nice thing to say. Is It your delicately inimitable way of giv ing me my conge?" "Yes, tiiank you," nodded Miss Lan dis coolly. "You may go now." "You're spoiled, that's what's the matter," retorted Ferrall wrathfully. ",I thought I waa to have this dance. You said"— "I said 'perhaps/ because I didn't «ee Mr. Plank coming to claim it. Thank you, Kemp, for finding him." Her nod and smile took the edge from her malice. Ferrall, who really adored dancing, glared about for any body to dance with. Sylvia, standing beside Plank, look ed up at him with her confident and friendly smile. "You don't care to dance, do you? Would you mind If we sat out this dance?" "If you'd rather," he said, so wist fully that she hesitated then with a little shrug laid one hand on his arm, and they swung out across the floor together into the scented whirl. Plank, like many heavy men, danc ed beautifully, and Sylvia, who still loved dancing with all the ardor of a schoolgirl, permitted a moment or two of keen delight to sweep her dreamily from her purpose. But that purpose must have been a strong one, for she returned to It in a few minutes and, looking up at Plank, said very gently that she cared to dance no more. Her hand resting lightly on his arm, It did not seem possible that any pres sure of hers was directing them to the conservatory, yet he did not know where he was going, and she was fa miliar with the house, and they soon entered the conservatory, where, In the shadow of various palms, various youths looked up Impatiently as they passed and various maidens sat up very straight In their chairs. Threading their dim way into the farther recesses, they found seats among thickets of forced lilacs over hung by early wistaria. A spring like odor hung in the air. Somewhere tiny fountain gre^ musical in the lemidarkness. "Marlon told me you had been ask ed," she said. "We have been so friendly. You've always asked me to flance whenever we have' met, so I thought I'd save you one. Are you flattered. Mr. Plank?" He said he was, very pleasantly, per fectly undeceived and convinced of her purpose—a purpose never even tacitly admitted between them, and the old loneliness came over him again—not resentment, for he was willing that she should use him. Why not? Others used him, everybody used him, and if they found no use for him they let him alone. Mortimer, Fleetwood, Bel wether—all. all had something to ex act from him. It was for that he was tolerated. He knew it. He had slow ly and unwillingly learned It. His in trusion among these people, of whom he was not one, would be endured on ly while he might be turned to some account. The hospital used him, the clergy found plenty for him to do for them, the museum had room for other pictures of his. Who among them all had ever sought him without a mo tive? Who among them all had ever found unselfish pleasure in him? Not one. He wished she would come to her point, but he dared not lead her to it too brusquely, because her purpose and her point were supposed to be abso lutely hidden from his thick and cred nlous understanding. It had taken him some time to make this clear to himself. Passing from suspicion through chagrin and oyerwounded feel ing to dull certainty that she, too, was using him, harmlessly enough from her standpoint, but how bitterly from his, he alone could know. The flutter of her fan meant Impa tience to learn from him what she had come to him to learn and then, satis fied, to leave him alone again amid the peopled solitude of clustered lights. I He wished she would speak. He was t.ired of the sadness of It all. Whenever in his isolation, in his utter destitution of friendship, he turned guilelessly to meet a new advance, al ways, sooner or later, the friendly mask was lifted enough for him to divine the cool, fixed gaze of self in terest Inspecting him through the damask slits. Sylvia was speaking now, and the plumy fan was under savant control, waving graceful accompaniment to her soft voice, punctuating her sentences at times, at times making an emphasis or outlining a gesture. It was the familiar sequence—topics that led to themes which adroitly skirt ed the salient point: returned caprl- woman's Nature tT a 5 3 S "*I'(if v. Ai rbarming pattern of \?ord$ which re quired so little in reply that his smile and nod were almost enough to keep her aria and his accompaniment afloat. It began to fascinate him to watch the delicacy of her strategy, the co quetting with her purpose her naive advance to the very edges of it, the airy retreat, the Innocent detour, the elaborate and circuitous return. And at last she drifted Into it so naturally that It seemed impossible that fatuous man could have the most primitive sus picion of her premeditation. And Plank, now recognizing his cue, answered her. "No, I have not heard that he is in town. I stopped to se« him the other day. but nobody there knew how soon he intended to return from the country." "I didn't know he had gone to the country," she said without apparent In terest. And Plank was either too kind to terminate the subject or too anxious to serve his turn and release her, for he went on, "I thought I told you at Mrs. Fer rall's that Mr. Siward had gone to the country." "Perhaps you did. No doubt I'.ye forgotten." "I'm quite sure I did, because I remember say ing that he look ed very ill, and "You hope so?" you said, rather sharply, that he had no business to be Hi. Do you remember?" "Yes," she said slowly. "Is he bet ter?" "I hope so." "You hope so," with the controlled, emphasis of Impatience. "Yes. Don't you, Miss Landis? When I saw him at his home he was lame— on crutches—and he looked rather ghastly, and all he said was that he expected to leave for the country. I asked him to shoot next year at Black Fells, and he seemed bothered about business and said it might keep him from taking any vacation." "He spoke about his business?" "Yes. he" "What is tho trouble with his busi ness? Is it anything about Amalga mated and Intercounty?" 4 "I think so." "Is he worried?" Plank said deliberately, "I should be tf my interests were locked up in Amalgamated Electric." "Could you tell me why that would worry you?" she asked, smiling per suasively across at him. "No," he said, "I can't tell you." "Because I wouldn't understand?" "Because I myself don't understand." She thought awhile, brushing 'the rose velvet of her mouth with the fan's edge, then, looking up confidently: "Mr. Siward is such a boy. I'm so glad he has you to advise him in Bach matters." "What matters?"asked Plank bluntly. "Why, In—in financial matters." "But I don't advise him." "Why not?" "Because he hasn't asked me to, Mlse Landis." "He ought to ask you. He must ask you. Don't wait for him, Mr. Plank. He is only a boy in such things." And, ai Plank was silent: "You will, wont you?" j* "Do what—make his business my business without an invitation?" ask ed Plank so quietly that she flushed with annoyance. "If you pretend to be his friend, Is It not your duty to advise him?" she asked impatiently. "No that is for his business asso ciates to do. Friendship comes to grief when it crosses the frontiers ot business." "That is a narrow view to take, Mr. Plank." "Yes, straight and narrow *The boundaries of friendship are straight and narrow. It is best to keep to the trodden path—best not to walk on the grass or trample the flowers." "I think you are sacrificing friend ship for an epigram," she said, careless of the undertone of contempt in her voice. "I have never sacrificed' friendship.** He turned and looked at her pleasant ly. "I never made an epigram con sciously, and I have never required of a friend more*than I had to offer in return. Have yon?" The flush of. hot displeasure stained her cheeks. "Are you really questioning me, Mr.. Plank?" "Yes. You have been questioning me rather seriously, have you not?"

I was never well, prone to get excited and often trembled, but any suggestion that coffee was not good for me made me furious. "I noticed the tendency to become excited was growing on me. My hands and feet were cold, fingers looked shriveled, liver inactive, constipated, coated tongue, bad breath and general lower vitality. (A perfect picture of caffeine poisoning "A friend strongly advised me to give up coffee and use Postum, so I tried the change a few weeks and found a marked improvement in temper, nerves and general condition. I felt so firm that I thought I could go back to coffee. Three times I tried it but always had to quit coffee and return to Postum. "Being a physician with a large prac tice and plenty of Experience, it was hard for me to believe that coffee could have such a profound effect on my system. Perhaps my fondness for the beverage made me loath to admit its ill effects.

Every country school in the county should bo represented in the match and the prize is worth the while of contestants doing a little work to fit themselves for the event. The average child today is not the speller his parents were before him, and it is also probably true that our grandfathers were even better orthog raphers than our fathers. Spelling has been laid asMe for more modern ideas in education, and the neglect given to this Important factor in the child's curriculum is already telling on the graduate.

Local Comment ®KSXjSSX5Gs)(SKSX£)(SXaD®S5®C5®«®WCsX2X2)®ta)®CBXa) Is it because this is termed a "wicked world" that mankind in gen eral is being compelled to walk in slippery places these days? v* Notices to clean sictewalks are all Tight and proper, but what about the public walks about Marshalltown? The county, or municipality, or both, are not setting a very good example in asking the private citizen to shovel snow and ice and then leave the public walks' covered with a glaze that makes a footing impossible. One would think that with the large number of vag rants and drunks reported from the police courts that both city and coun ty had sufficient help to get rid of slipperv walks. Jt Tho report from Council Bluffs, tell ing of the terrible conditions found in certain dairy herds by the milk in spector, was one of the most revolting pieces of Views ever sent out to the public press of the state. Cows were found by the Council Bluffs inspector which were in the very last stages of tuberculosis, and in one instance it was discovered that tuberculor pus was actually being milked from the cow anil fed to children, pouring into their sys tems the deadly consumption. Such a condition is shocking, and what lias happened at Council Bluffs may be occurring daily right here at home. If there was ever an argument in favor of the inspection of all milk cows il comes from the result of the invest!-! gations at Council Bluffs. The re monstrances of people interested in saving the cost of inspection among their herds is not to be considered un der such conditions. It is gratifying to note the rapid] growth of the Marshalltown public li brnry, and if there are any who thought, prior to the founding of a library here, that the institution would not be sought by the general read ing public, such doulits can not now help but be dispelled. With nearly TiO.OOO books circulated last year, it is shown that some one has been doing 1 some reading. This Is an increase of Uinost 4,000 over the year preceding, With the establishment of branch li braries in more remote parts of town the library trustees expect to even increase the circulation this year. There is no doubt but that the library is appreciated. F. E. B. We heard a man say the other morn ing that the abbreviation for February Feb.—means Freeze everybody, and that man looked frozen In his ulster. It was apparent that he needed the kind of warmth that stays, the warmth that reaches from head to foot, all over the body. We could have told him from personal knowledge that Hood's Sarsaparilla gives permanent warmth. I it invigorates the blood and speeds it along thru artery and vein, and really (its men and women, boys and girls, to enjoy cold weather and resist the at tacks of disease. It gives the right kind of warmth, stimulates and strengthens at the same time, and all its benefits are lasting. There may he a suggestion in this for you. Prices at Rupert's Market.

Unknown to any member of the household, Mr. Doane secured a cup and tilled it with the lye. lie drained the vessel and fell to the floor, writhing in pain. His daughter called a physician, but nothing could save him. The mans mouth and throat were badly burned, evidencing a terrible conditio'n that must have resulted with the vital organs.

The funeral wilUbe held from the United Brethren church southeast of Laurel. Sunday forenoon at 10, and interment will take place in the church burying ground.

On the prin ciple that "blessings brighten as they take their flight," this road begins to look good to a number of people who were very skeptical in their talk when the road was first offered to this com munity.

Washington, Feb. 8.—What will be known as "the minority currency bill' was introduced today by Representa tive John Sharp Williams of Missis sippi, the democratic leader of the honso, who drew the measure cts a re suit of a conference of democrats be hind closi doors yesterday. Those beside Mr. Williams who par ticipated 11 the conference were Rep resentatives Lewis of Georgia, Pujo of Louisiana, Glass of Virginiia. Gillespie of Texas, Ollie James of Kentucky, Crawford of North Carolina, and Mc Heiiry of Pennsylvania—all members of the committee oil banking and cur rency. Entire harmony is said to have marked the meeting. It is understood that the bill as drawn Mr. Williams may be sub jected to slight amendment by its supporters, but it will conic before tho house in the shape of a minority re port fron'.. the banking and currency committee in its present form. Among the provisions of the bill are the following: It repeals a.11 laws permitting na tional banks to keep three-lifths of their reserves in national banks of re serve cities, and similar laws permit ting such deposit of one-half of the reserve amounts. It provides that not less than one half of the reserves now required to be kept in ,awful money in central re serve cities .shall be hereafter held in gold or gold certificates. It does away with the payment of national bank examiners by the fee system and substitutes salaries not less than $3,000 nor in excess of 15,000 yearly, with actual expenses. it provides that the total liabilities of any national bank, inclusive of the liabilities of its members, shall not ex ceed one-tenth of the bank's paid in and unimpaired capital stock and one enth of its impaired surplus funds eep—Estimated receipts ror ioa .v. n-.tiil 1... lnmixs fi "0 a»d that,, in steadj. lambs, 6..0 110 event, sha.l the naou 30 ppr cent of the capital stock. The discount of bills of ex change drawn in good faith against ac tually existing values, and the dis count of commercial or luisiness paper actually owned by the person negotiat ing it. shall not be considered as li abilities. Violation of this section is made a misdemeanor punishable by tine or imprisonment. No national bank shall loan In the aggregate- more than seven times the amount of its paid up capital plus its unimpaired surplus. Violation is pun ishable as provided in the section pre ceding. State Bonds for Reserve. Any national bank may keep 50 per cent of its reserve in United States bonds or bonds of states or in the bonds af certain municipalities, but not more1 than one-fourth of the total reserve may be kept in state or munic ipal bonds, and the bonds shall be ac ceptable only of such municipalities as have maintained their bonds at or above par for six years preceding, and have been in corporate existence ten years, and have never defaulted in their funded debt, and whose net in debtedness does not exceed 18 per cent of their taxable property. The acceptability of such bonds as reserve security shall be passed on by the attorney general of the state in which the municipality is located, and these bonds shall be known as "inter-controvertible bonds." The controller of the currency, im mediately after- passage of the bill, shall furnish a copy of the new law to each bank in the country and inquire if it will accept the provisions. Consent shall be binding, and the liabilities attaching to the consent may be enforced by the controller. Agree ment to accept the provisions shall entitle state banks and trust compan ies to the benefits of the new law. Low Tax on "Emergency Notes." The elastic currency feature of the bill is contained in a section which provides that these interconvertible bonds may be deposited "in the nearest subtreasury." and "the depositing bank shall receive in lieu thereof United States emergency treasury notes." These notes shall be in the nature of a loan, subject to a taxation of of 1 per cent for the first four months of their issuance, V2 of 1 per cent for the second four months, and 1 per cent thereafter.
