Congressman Leake, ol New Jer sey, Declares Nebraskan is Best Qualified For Pulpit HOUSE NOT NOMINATING BODY Leake Greatly Amuses Some of the President's Big Stick. A Washington, Feb. 10.—The on the Indian appropriation bill under the .five-minute rule was resumed in the house today. At the very outset politics was injected into the proceed ings when ^eake, democrat, of N'ew Jersey, denounced William J. Bryan and his methods. Several republicans and democrats objected because lie was not speaking I to the bill. By unanimous consent, however, he was allowed to proceed, Leake said he had been surprised at the usurpation of the prerogatives of the pulpit than for the presioSnqy. Republican laughter greeted this ut terance, which immediately, afterward Was supplemented by the democratic issue when Ijeake said of Bryan: "He has taken the big stick from the. pres ident of these United States jind, to use his own simile, he is now cruci fying on the cross of socialism." The •president thus being deprived of his big stick, Leake declared, had desorted to the big slipper. FORAKER ATTACKS PRESIDENT. Assumes to Make Reply to President's Criticism of His Critics. Washington, Feb. 10.—Senator Fora ker today made reply to the president's statement, published this morning, concerning the charges that public patronage- has been used by him (the president) for political purposes, and reading at length from the president's correspondence with William Dudley Foulke, he proceeded to explain hU own attitude toward federal patronage in Ohio. He read part of the president's statement in which the letter declared that no presidential candidate had been favored in any appointment. "These general propositions are im portant," said Foraker, referring to the /president's words. "While the people of the country are not interested in the specific details of appointments, they are interested in the general proposi tions enunciated by the president they are interested in knowing that ap pointments are made with an eye sin gle to the good of the public, service. The president by this statement rec ognizes the importance of observing these propositions. It is difficult to He referred to the recent appoint ments of Charles H. Bryson as post master at Athens, O., who, he said, was appointed without his solicitation upon the recommendation of Represen tative Douglass. He then read from a local paper an interview with Bryson, in which he stated that Taft lost his following in Ohio and Foraker, had greatly grown in strength. Foraker •xvent into details of the affair, claiming the president 'had subsequently de cided not to appoint Bryson, as he, the president, could see "no reason fpr ap pointing men to office who were not in harmony with his policies." Foraker said he did not want to comment upon the correspondence beyond showing that pressure had been brought to bear on one man who had expressed his personal views on the matter on which he had a right to express them, "to co erce, as the president has said in his letter." t»,\. vf^V- 5/ 1 N in order to get a line on budget esti mates.

Brewers Will Not Renew Licenses at Detroit, Mich. Detroit. Feb. 10.—Another of the desperate moves of the brewers to fore stall the local prohibition movement became known Saturday.

Waterloo, Feb. 10.—The Hamilton Frank slander case still proves a big drawing card and every available inch of space is generally packed. A sen sation was created in court when plaintiff ceased the introduction of tes timony and defense presented a motion to, take certain portions of the testi mony from the jury. The contention of defendant relative: to the post cards and the testimony of Mrs. Heath which referred to what Mrs. Frank said to her with regard to her hired girl being out late at night, was sustained by the court. The only one of the four sections questioned which was allowed to go to the jury was the letter which Airs. Frank had written to Miss McBride, advising her that Mrs. Hamilton had endeavored to siift responsibility to her for being seen sitting on Dr. Mar tin's lap. Immediately upon the court ruling on the motion to direct on certain sec tions the defense introduced testimony in her behalf. George Husman was first called and testified that he was in the telephone office directly across the street from Mrs. Hamilton's resi dence and that he saw Mrs. Hamilton sitting on Dr. Martin's lap. The win dow in his office was raised half way giving clear view of the occurrence some 86 feet distant, even tho the win dow to plaintiff's apartments was down. He testified that he was collector his attention was called to it by the telephone operators, one .of them stat ing, "There they are, they are at it again." He said he watched their ac tions some fifteen or twenty minutes. It appealed to him they were making love, tho he confessed he did not know what they called the scene. The de fense will introduce Misses Hitt and Goodwin, telephone operators, who were in the telephone office at the time. Besides tliis a few other wit nesses will be called to testify. As anticipated when the case was taken up in court it has proven the greatest magnet of any action tried for years in district court. Many humorous incidents, have occurred as testimony has been given, and many, times have proceedings been interrupt ed so court and bailiff had to call for order. There have been upwards of two hundred friends of the parties present from Laporte, showing the great inter est which centers in the little city where the parties to the action are best known.

Un der this plan the postmaster general, as a member of the cabinet, is charge able with a general 'supervisory con trol and determination of questions of policy. The commission recommends that the business of the department be recentralized so as to avoid conges tion at the national capitol, which im pairs the efficiency and increases the cost of service. the hands of an Submitted with the report of the commission is a report of considerable volume from two New York account ing firms who were assigned to an in- vesligation of the department by a commission last May. This report goes a,t length into the abolition of bureaus of the organization and ad ministrative divisions, the merging of the money order and postal accounts. Parcel Post Bill Introduced.

Washington, Feb. 10.—Senator A1-. drich today addressed the senate in ex-/ planation of the currency bill which bears his name. The galleries were well filled. A large number of bankers were present, including J. Pierpont Morgan, of New York. Characterizing the financial crisis from which the country just emerged, which culminated in a serious panic in October, as the most acute a,nd dis tructive in its immediate consequences of any which has occurred in the his tory of the country, Aldrich declared "that nothing but the heroic measures taken by representatives of the great business and financial interests of the eountry, acting in co-operation with the secretary of the treasury, prevent ed the total collapse of the private credit and the disastrous dQ«truction of all values." Reviewing the various expedients re sorted to for the relief of the banks, the senator said: "The great losses which the people of the country suffer ed from a partial breakdown of our credit system thru bank suspensions, and which the abnormal increase in the volume of money and its substi tutes—legal and illegal—failed to avert, should lead congress to seriously consider the question whether it is possible to provide such legislative remedy as shall prevent a recurrence of these conditions in the future. If the experience of last year should be repeated, and who can say that this is impossible, the methods of relief that were employed in 1907 will not be available, or certainly not to the same extent." Relief In such emergencies, he thought, could not be afforded thru the UK. l-K MARSHAL! TOWN\ IOWA.

Sppelal to Times-Republican. Des -Moines, Fel#. 10.—"The state •Of Iowa is allowing millions of dollars to lloat to waste down Its rivers and all if has to do to get that wealth is to reach out and take it." This is the statement of State Railroad Commis sioner N. S. Ketchum. "The fact is," continued Mr. Ket chum, "that the rivers of this state could supply all the light, practically nil the power and most of the heat in the state iif they were only turned to that end. This state is covered with mill streams, as they used to say in the old1 days. Take the Des Moines river. From one end to t'lie other it ought to be used for power, light and heat. Look al the Mississippi 011 one border and the Missouri 011 the other. The water floating past the state rep resents just that much energy ready to bo converted Into power, light or heat. "Look at Keokuk and what they are trying to do. There Is enough power to be obtained right there at Keokuk to run every street ear in the state of Iowa and light all the cities. Give this matter a little thought and any one will be convinced of the enormity of the proposition. There ought to be a syndicate with millions of capital to build dams here and there along the rivers and supply the state with .power and light. I "My attention was called to the matter by' traveling about the^ state and seeing so ftrany places where steam is being used when water power ought to be used. Look at this new electric line up to Fort Dodge. That line should be operated entirely by elec tricity from water power. The line is close to the Des Moines river most of the wayjy There at Frazier they have gone and erected a big fine power plant for steam. They have it there close to the source of coal supply. The plant is directly over the coal mine and the coal is hoisted from the ground and shoveled into the fur naces without being transported. This is a very fine idea but that power plant stands almost exactly where they ought to have a dam across the Des Moines river and get their power for next to nothing. "Over at Peterson. Iowa, there is a little mill dam running a mill. It is idle at night, just when it ought to be lighting the streets of the town and furnishing electric heat possibly for the homes. There is hardly an important town in the stale but is on a river or close enough to a river that it could utilize the water power. It is not necessary that the dam be at the city. It can frequently be two miles up or down the stream. There is the town of Ackley, a fine little town. It ought to get power and light from a dam either at Iowa Falls or Steamboat Rock. "There never was a proposition pre sented to me that seemed to have greater possibilities than this. If I was a man of wealth I would like nothing better than to invest in a syndicate to build dams all over Iowa. Iowa is full of good rivers. No need to name them. They are everywhere. Electric energy can be transmitted almost any dis tance now and easily can be trans mitted across the entire state. But that is not needed for here is the Mis sissippi on one side and the Missouri on the other and the Des Moines river in the middle with any amount of oth er streams in between these. "Des Moines is an excellent example of how money is going to waste down the river. The only use to which the Des Moines river is being put is by the Edison Light Company. It uses it for electric light. Then there are some ice companies that cut ice from its sur face one month of the year. There is enough energy in the Des Moines river if rightly used to run every factory in town. A half mile below the Edison dam another dam could be constructed that would duplicate the amount of power from the Edison dam and a halt mile below that another could be con structed that would do the same thing over again and still another could be constructed above the Edison dam. The Edison dam furthermore is not con structed to get the greatest amount of' power possible from the stream at one point. "Marshalltown, Waterloo, Fort Dodge. Boone. Towa Falls, Eldora, t, Oskaloosn. Sigourney. Knoxville, Mild many other towns are either on strenins or ire close enough to them to utilize their power. Iowa of course has coal in abundance and that is some thing to rejoice over, but why not util ize the water power and sell the coal to states that have no water power. The more I think of the thing the more reasonable seems to me the thought that Iowa is loosing millions every year from not utilizing its water power." ilcpubUfan. FIGHT WITH HIGHWAYMEN. C. A. Snyder of Waterloo, Very Low Shot Twice. Special to Times-Republican. Waterloo, Feb. 10.—C. A. Snyder la now lying at the point of death with two bullet wounds in his body, as a resi.lt of a terrible light with two highwaymen 011 his own doorstep Sat urday evening. The attackers are at large. Snyder and Ills wife were returning across the street from the butcher shop of which Snyder is the proprie tor. with the money, $S,". taken in dur ing the day. in their hands. As they stepped up to their door two masked men shouted. "Hold up your hands." Not. an instant elapsed until two shots were fired. They both entered Snyder's borlv. one his side and the other his breast. 'Snyder fought like a demon. He knocked the revolver out of the hands of one of the villains and so vicious wa-i his attack that they soon both fled without the money. The wife sup ported the husband into the house and sent for the police. The police, with the aid of the re volver Snyder captured from the men. ar working might and main on the cate. It is thought that the men are perhaps members of the gang which infested Waterloo last summer and committed an attack on F. G. Smith. Two youths had called at the butcher shop several times during the evening, probably intent upon robbing Mr. Sny der. His wife's presence deterred them. KN0WLT0N EXPELLED i^ig Sensation Has Struck Iowa Ath. letics—It Appears That Knowlton Was Ineligible Prominent S. U. I. Man. Special to .Times-Republican. Iowa City, Feb. 10.—The biggest sen sation of the year struck Iowa ath letics last night when It was an nounced l.ha.t "Bill" Knowlton, the big Hawkeye half back and 'varsity pitcher had been expelled from the univer si:y. The affair is another chapter in the Ames-Iowa controversy, which re cently arose concerning the eligibil ity of "Ted" Willetts the Ames full back who played in the state cham pionship contest between the two in stitutions last November. Shortly af ter this game, it developed that Wil letts had played four years before the beginning of the last season, two years at. Grinnell and two at Ames. The matter was reported to tho Ames management and as there denied the proofs being incontrovertible, the Iowa athletic board finally severed ^11 relations with Ames. Now it appears that Knowlton on •the Iowa side, was also ineligible. Last spring, while he was out of school at Iowa, he attended Upper Iowa uni versity, a small school in the northern part of the state, near his home, and played on the base ball team. This, under the conference rules, would necessitate his playing as a freshman on his return to Iowa. However, Knowlton signed up the regular pro fession of eligibility last fall and played a star game on the gridiron thruout tie season. When the question of the Ames man's record arose, the local paper of Knowlton's home town, De enrah, Iowa, commented on the facts stated above and in this way it came to the ears of the Ames management. The facts were .promptly turned over to the Iowa board, and on investigation proved true, and the resul.t is that the star athlete has been expelled from trie university. This comes as a hard blow to the Hawkeye chances in base ball, and weakens the prospects for a v/inning eleven next fall, The peculiar feature of the case Is that both Knowlton and Willetts are from the same town, and both guilty of nearly identical offenses. Whether this last development will have any effect on the relations of the_ two schools cannot at present be learned. DEATH AT UNION.

Lender of Bryan Fac tion in Iowa, Makes Attack oil Central Committee SCORES CHAIRMAN Organization Shaw Abandons Hope of Securing Iowa Delegation- Other Political News. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Feb. 10.— New life lias been Injected Into the democratic par ty Of the stale by the starting of a good-sized row. ljryun democrats in Des Moines have tlie lor.g, keen knife out for the democratic slate central committee, which took :ie democratic conventions away from Des .Moines. They have started a campaign with the object of removing those committee men from the office. George K. Ulnchart, leader of the Bryan faction and editor of the Demo cratic Chronicle, is at the head of the movement. Saturday night lie made the following statement: •"The action of the dei iocralic state 0 •committee in ignoring lie claims of Des Moines is in perfect keeping with the opinion 1 past is have entertained for the year, that as a whole, the commit tee unworthy of the confidence of the rank and tile of the party In Iowa." "The party as a whole is thoroughly devoted to William Jennings Bryan and the principles which he endorses. iXo man can represent the principles of the rank and tile o.C the party in Iowa who Is In any sense a reactionist or a so-called conservative. "There are good men dii tl\p commit tee but they have been so dominated by the chairman. Mr. Miller, lhat for all practical purposes he is the com mottee, voting the proxies of absent members to promote hit personal ends, and utilizing the organization for pure l.v selfish purposes. This was demon straied when he tried to make Ilia friend and adviser. W. W. Marsh, members, of the national committee, in defiance to the wishes of nine-tenths of the democrats in Iowa. This move in the midst of the campaign, lost the election of the democratic ticket as It is estimated that some 30,000 demo crats voted for Cummins, not because they had no confidence in "Porter, but because they had no confidence in Ills com:«i*!.ee. And. altho a good man he could not carry tile dead weight ot a committee not in sympathy with democratic aims and purposes as taught by William Jennings Bryan and represented by Porter. "The statement of Chairman Miller that he took the convention away from Des Moines because of the treatment he had.'rfdeived from the local press, shows that he is not bifj enough to rise above personal spite and is conse quently unfit to longer serve the par ty in official capacity. Every com mittee, voting the proxies of absent Miller should be made to answer for his subservience and If I mistake not the temper of the rank and file, this will be done." Mr. Rinehart Is the Iowa head of a movement which is being' started all over the country known as the "Bryan Volunteers^" This organization lias re ceived the personal approval of Mr. Bryan. Its purpose is to unite all of Mr. Bryan's friends Into one compact organization and at ti}e same time to raise a campaign fund of small contri butions from his friends, because he would not accept the contributions of any corporation or interested party. A branch of the Bryan Volunteers will be organized in every county in Iowa. A meeting was recently held in Des Moines at which sixty demo crats Joined. Monday morning work ers, from Des Moines will leave to per fect the organization over the state. Friends of Leslie M. Shaw In Des Moines stated last night that lie had decided not to ask or make a fight for the Iowa' delegation to the. national convention.. It Is said letters from him are to this effect—that he would be glad of the delegation if fct were given him Is known, but a fight for It. Tie will not make A story has been cir­ culating In political circles that he planned on the delegation helping to nominate Dolllver for vice president, expecting to get the senatorial va cancy. if unable to land the presidency for himself. Standpatters declare that there Is absolutely nothing In the rumors that Senator Allison may withdraw, but that on the contrary headquarters will soon be opened It? Des Moines by John T. Adams of Dubuque, who may remain or put some one else In charge. Tt also is said that Mr. Allison will visit Iowa within a short time. Charles Klnkblne of Des Moines Is said to be a member of the Allison executive committee organized at Dubuque. Weigh Yourself and then after a few weeks weigh your self again.

FIREMEN AT NEVADA BUSY. Several Fires Have Started Recently —Donation to Library. Special to Times-Republican. Nevada. Keb. 10.—This city has been visited by several tires of late, all of them came near being disastrous. The fire at UiinUlebarger it King's eleva tor was evidently started by a spark from a locomotive catching on a hori zontal timber used to keep the walls from spreading by the Hressure of grain within. .Had it caught in the night the lire would have gained a greater headway ere being discovered, and the elevator burned, but a few dollars will cover the loss. Leo Alderman slipped or jumped from a ladder at this Ore and broke a bone in his foot which will prevent his being at work for some time. The library has received from' Mrs. Sarah J. Dlllin portraits of Mr. and Mrs. W. I'". Payne. She Invited a company of the library board nnd a few others particularly Interested, for a 6 o'clock dinner after which Mr. J. A. King, of the library board, in be- half of Mrs. Dlllin, made the presenta tion speech, and also made a motion that the portraits be accepted and ac corded space on the library walls. Mr. Payne has been president of the library board of trustees since the or ganization of the board fourteen years ago, and Mrs. Payne is always ready with time and thought for anything which will be for the benefit of the library. Mr. and Mrs. Payne were indeed sur prised but appreciate the thoughts and good will of the donor. SPENCER DISTRICT COURT. Several Interesting Cases Disposed of Saturday. Special to Times-Rephblican.

Special to Times -Republican. Iowa Falls, Feb. 10.—The success of the transmission of electric current successfully for several years from this city to Alden, has evidently prompted other towns in this part of the state to undertake similar enter prises. It is stated that a project is now under way to run a high tension line from Hampton to Chapin and Geneva and give those towns light and power from the Hampton plant, while at Union in this county a movement Is on foot to build a plant and not only light that town, but Whitten and possibly other places within a short radius of Union. FARMERS' INSTITUTE SOON. Prominent Men to Speak at Alden Feb. 18 arid 19. Special to Times-Republican. Alden, Feb. 10.—A' number of prom inent men will speak at the Farmers' Institute here on the 18th and 19th Insfc, Including Governor Cummins, Prof. McKay, of Ames, and others.

It is just such rot as this that disgusts many people, with latter-day politics, and tlese methods or mi.-rep rcsentation from the press bureau ot the Allison forces can only harm "the. grand old man's" candidacy. It Is a fact that there Is not a section in Iowa that Is as solid lor (iovernor Cummins for United Stales senator as the west ern part of the Third district. If tills pari of Iowa lias any Allison supporters they are afraid to speak out In meeting and are evidently aware of tile almost universal Cummins senti ment In this territory. Much of tlto press mat'ter that emanates from the Allison lieadq larters In Dubuque and is published in the standpat papers of the state, is received with ridicule by manv of the readers of these papers. hlltl .„(1 J. 0 Ferguson.

It is pretty good sleddin' here now but these managers are likely to strike a "thaw the farther west they- get In the dis- trlc an)i rtnrt Governor Cummins and his supporters that really prompts this solicitude for Iowa's senior senator. "Anything to beat Cummins" looks to be the slogan of tho Allison forces and when this animus crops out it Is evi dent that is not that they love Alli son most, but hate Cummins more. Eugene Schafter as Candidate. Special to Tinios-Republlcan. Iowa Falls, Feb. 10.—The third con gressional district lias another candi date for delegate to the national re publican convention in Eugene Schaf ter, of Eagle Grove.

Webster City, Feb. 10.—The primar ies in Hamilton county were tho quiet est held in many years. Fifteen votes was the highest number vast in any ward in Webster City and reports from over tho county are to the effect that even less interest was shown from out side precincts, but as no contests were made the delegation to the state con vention will probably be progressive and will certainly be for Taft. Stiger Proposed for Congress. Tama, Feb. 10.—The Tama News proposes H. J. Stiger of Toledo, for the democratic congressional nomination. Stiger is an able fellow,' but any dem ocrat will go up against an adverse majority of several thousand votes, and with few assurances of success, unless the standpat republicans do what some of their would-be leaders evidently fa vor—vote for a democrat in preference to a republican who does not wear the standpat collar. NEW CREAMERY FOR MESERVEY. Farmers and Business Men Very En thusiastic Over New Project. Special to Times-Republican. Meservey. la.. Feb. 10.—Plans are about completed, that means that our town will have, as soon as the weath er permits a new cement block cream ery to be erected where the old one burned some time ago. The plan is a co-operative one with authorized capital of $3,000 and about $2,000 already subscribed in $50 shares. Both the business men and the farmers are very enthusiastic and suc cess is assured. From all appearances now it is evident that the Palsville patronage will swing over to Meservey creamery as soon as it Is in operation. Ice will be put up at once and on Thursday, Feb. 13, further commit tees will be appointed. THORNTON'S TILE FACTORY. Good Business Now Reported Farms Change Hands. Special to Times-Republican.

It will be interesting to \\atn the efforts of the Allison managers WHAT IS THE GRIP? WHAT IS ITS EFFECT? These questions are best answered by several eminent mcdical men in published interviews. The most im portant points emphasized by the fam ous doctors are these: Grip is highly infectious. Grip sti-nulates other diseases. Grip has an extraordinary effect on the mental functions. Grip picks out the weak points in a person's constitution. The victims of the grip are adults who perish from pneumonia or bron chitis and the aged who sink from heart exhaustion. Children while prone to the disease, enjoy comparative immunity from its complications and dangers. Grip shows a decided tendency to relapses, a feature to which the indi rect faculty of the disease is in a great measure due. Alcoholic stimulants are not only unnecessary but positively harmful. At attack of the grip seems to ren der the individual more liable to con tract the disease from future expo sure. The attack comes on with lightning like speed. A person in apparently perfect health is suddenly overcome by a feeling of discomfort. He feels chilly or shakes with the rigor worthy of an ague. His head aches. There are pains in his eyeballs and other symptoms characteristic of the dis ease soon follow. CAN GRIP BE PREVENTED? Sir William Broadbcnt, an eminent English Physician relates his exper ience in preventing the disease as fol lows: "From the first invasion of in fluenza (grip) I have found that the best' remedy was quinine. I have had opportunities of obtaining extraordi nary evidence of its protective power. In a large public school near London, the girls and the mistresses took their morning dose of quinine, but the serv ants were forgotten. The result was that scarcely a girl or mistress suf fered, while the servants were all down with influenza (grip)". As a preventive, take two grains of the bi-sulphate of quinine after breakfast each day. GREAT PHYSICAL AND MENTAL AGONY "Before we can symphathize with others, we must have suffered our selves." No one can realize the sut fering attendant upon an attack of the grip, unless he has had the actual experience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and mental agony, or which so suc cessfully defies medical aid. All dan ger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy, not one case has ever been reported that has resulted in pneu monia or that has not recovered. ..:v, 1 Y..^ rv. r.: Wi .Mrs. JIarry Nelson of For I JDodtfo Rcreivcs Word ol Hus band's Death in JLavnna WAS SOON TO RETURN HOME Wife Had Made Every Effort to Have Husband Discharged, and Secretary Taft Just Recently Issued the Order —Leaves Babe He Had Never Seen —Wife Almost a Stranger.

The Herald, always anxious con cerning the public health, has repeat edly called attention to the dangers of undue exposure during inclement weather, and now reiterates the in junction with still more earnestness in view of present conditions. Most of the fatal cases of pneumo nia at this time of the year are due to the lack of timely treatment of what appears to be a simple attack of bron chial catarrh. The taking of the stitch ^n time is at the bottom of all questions of prevention of other more serious ones lying in wait for solution. It is well to take into account in such connection that February and March are generally considered the most fatal months for pneumonia, especially when influenza is prevailing even in mild epidemic form. Thus far we have escaped a visita tion of a virulent form of the latter malady, but there is abundance of t^me and opportunity for the development of a severe epidemic, with the usual aftermath of alarming mortality. The effective treatment of an ordi nary 'cold' is a matter of a day or two against a possible subsequent sickness for weeks. The indications of a severe attack of influenza are headache, chilliness, general muscular pains, fever, sore throat, cough and systemic lassitude. When these show themselves no time is to be lost and the patient should jive up work at once and promptly place himself under proper medical care."—New York Herald. Bad Attack ol the Grip COMPLETELY KNOCKED OUT "Some weeks ago during the severe winter weather both my wife and my self contracted severe colds which speedily developed into the worst kind of the grip with all its miserable symptoms," says Mr. J. S. Egleston of Maple Landing, Iowa. "Knees and joints aching, muscles sore, heaa stopped up, eyes and nose running, with alternate spells of chills and fev er. We began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, aiding the same with a double dose of Chamberlain's Stom ach and Liver Tablets, and by Its liberal use soon completely knocked out the grip." DONrs WREN YOU RAVE THE GRIP Don't kiss the children. Don't delay going to bed. Don't attempt to walk the attack down. Don't take a cold or even a hot bath. Don't use any alcoholic stimulants. Don't eat a heavy meal. Don't associate with the family. Don't forget to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Don't let your bowels become con stipated. Don't leave your bed until the worst is over.

BARTON M'CULLY ARRESTED. Recently Suspended From Princeton Bank on Account of Shortages. Special to TTmes-Republican. Jefferson, Feb. 10.—Word was re- CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY This well known remedy has been on the markpt for one-third of a cen tury. Starting from a small beginning it has grown in favor and popularity until the demand for it often requires shipments in carload lots. It is now on sale at almost every drug store and most country cross road stores in the United States. There is ho ques tion as to its merits in fact, the enor mous sale on it has been brought a bout to a large extent by the perso nal recommendations of people who have been cured by it When you use a remedy for a cough or cold and find it far superior to any other that you have ever tried, it is natnral that you should tell your friends of your good fortune. It has become the moth ers' favorite for coughs, colds and croup, as they found that it can al ways be depended upon and that it contains no opium or other harmful drugs. During these years in which we have been making, selling and us ing this preparation we have never known of a single case of a cold re sulting in pneumonia when Chamber lain's Cough Remedy was used, which leads us to believe that it is a certain preventive of that disease. The fact that it can be depended upon in every case has crowned it with the success it enjoys. DANGERS FROM GRIP An attack of grip seldom results fatally, but it is the indirect cause of many deaths. If it does not result In pneumonia, which is frequently the case, it leaves its victim with a cough which lingers on long after every other symptom of the disease has van ished. The system is thus left in a weakened condition and is susceptible to almost every other disease. The grip can be greatly lessened in its severity if Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy is used, and any tendency toward pneumonia is promptly checked. There is no medicine which has met with greater success in the treatment of this disease. It cures the cough and leaves the system in a natural and healthy condition. Stubborn Attack oi Grip Cored By Chamberlain's Coogb Remedy Colonel Cornelias' P. Cole, a well known and much respected citizen of Appanoose county, Iowa, now past seventy years of age, who came to Iowa with his wife over fifty years agt says, "Myself and wife were both soundly cured of severe and stubborn attacks of grip last winter by using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is a wonderful remedy and we never wish to be without it.' The greatest danger of the grip is cf it resulting in pneumonia. We have never known this to occur in any case when Cham berlain's Cough Remedy was used, and this is certainly a remarkable record, as many milUotis of bottles have been sold and used since the first epi demic of grip occurred. v.: ceived today by Mrs. K. M. Wood, the mother of Parton McCully. formerly u, state. New officers for the en- cashier of the Princeton bank, which recently suspended Mr. McCully on ac count of alleged shortages, ,to the ef fect that State Auditor Carroll, who has charge of the bank's business, swore out a warrant for the arrest of Mr. McCully. This comes as a shock to many Jef ferson people, as Mr. McCully wasVur several years, before his departure into the banking business a.t Princeton, en gaged In tho mercantile business, and also was at one time bookkeeper for the Jefferson 'Savings bank, and a young man held in the highest esteem in tills community. It was stated a. few days ago that his mother had been trying to raise money. In the hopes that she could help her s^n out of the financial difficulty. The store building in which Mr. McCully was one time part owner with J. E. Smith, was sold, a id other property was dis posed of. It was reported that Mrs. Wood will leave a-s soon as possible for Princeton, where she will endeavor to straighten the bank .shortage, and release 'her son of the charge which now stands against hitn. The re.port •this morning Is to the effect that the ri^» JRt bank's shortages may run Into the thousands of dollars, altho at this early hour the definite a mount Is not known. Jt was stated, however, lhat the short age will at least exceed $10,000. HOTEL. TO BE REBUILT. The Orleans Was Recently Burned at Spirit Lake. Special to Tim^s-flepublican.

Go to bed and remain in bed until well oh the way toward recovery. Two or thres days in bed when .you first contract the disease is better than two or three weeks later on. Also take a double dose of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy to begin with and then the regular dose every hour. If it should nauseate, discontinue it un til the nausea subsides and then take it in smaller doses or less frequently. Before going to bed take two of Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and bathe the feet in water as warm as can be comfortably borne. If the attack is a severe one take sulphate of quinine in doses of two grains each, every four hours, for a few days. It will help up the vitality and enable the system to withstand the attack, Severe Attack ot Grip Cored By 0ie ftttle of Cbm-^ berUln's C«Bgb Renedy, "When I had an attack of the. grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain'9 Cough Remedy," says Frank W. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon ful of this remedy, and when the coughing 6pell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its ac companing pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable sur prise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bot tle before Mr. Grip'had bid me, adieu.'* THE CRIP CURED AS IF BY MA6IC "In the winter, of 1898 and 1899 .1 was takeii down with a severe attack of what is c.alle.d the grip," says F. L. Hewett. a* prominent druggist of Win/ield, III. "The onl7 medicine 1 used was two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It broke up the cold and stopped the coughing like magic, and I have never since been troubled with grip." Chamberlain's Cough'" Remedy can always be depended upon to break up a severe 6old and ward off any threatened attach of pneumo nia. It is pleasant to take, too, which makes it the most desirable and oaf of the most popular preparations in use for these ailments.

Dr. Livingstone, and later Henry Stanley, both of whom spent much time in tho exploration of Africa, in their memoirs mention tho fact that members oL' all tho tribes that they came in contact with possessed beau tiful, white, pearly, sound teeth, and that on investigation they found that this was due to the fact that, tho di gestive organs of the negro had never been impaired, and that they were able at all times to take care of the coarse foods that were taken into the stom ~acl. The negroes' food is of the plainest kind and is seldom if ever cooked. It Is eaten as it is found, with but little preparation. The cause of unsound and imperfect teeth found among civilized people is due to two important facts—the prev Valence of dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach troubles and the food we eat. In the foods that we eat there is a lack of phosphates and other mater ials necessary to make repairs and supply the waste in the teeth. Then again few people lti civilized countries are free from dyspepsia, which interferes with the whole sys tem and causes trouble everywhere. To have sound teeth, cure your dys pepsia and eat proper foods and you wi'l have little trouble with them. A package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be kept in the house at all tinier-. They cure dyspepsia, sour stomach, indigestion, and put the stom ,'ach antl intestines in a healthy condi tion. The Tablets contain a powerful in gredient which assists the stomach In the process of digestion, and puts it in a healthy condition. There are many bodily Ills due en tirely to stomach troubles. If you are ill ask yourself if your trouble may not be caused by indiges tion. This may be the cause of the whole 7~* 'difficulty, and to cure it means to have perfect health. 4: you can get Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets at any druggists', for they are as •^staple' as any drug in the store.

The burial occurred In Indian Mound cemetery, and the fam ily have the sympathy of the entire people. Mr. Hulsizer was born In Humboldt county, and grew to man hood here. He was united in marriage with Miss Gotch, and two children were born to bless the union. De ceased was a particularly robust, strong man, and his death after so short a sickness came as a great shock to Humboldt people. He was a jovial, pleasant gentleman and had a host of friends.

One of the interesting cases that was booked for Clearing was the case of Mrs. J. H.

Nevada. Jim Banks, the young farmer of whose mysterious disappearance a week ago today, was told in Monday's Journal, has been located and is now in a hotel in Hast ings, Neb., very ill. It will be re membered that the man left his home during the absence of his wife and children, and, going to Maxwell, he drew $325 that he had in a local bank and was known to take a Milwaukee train for Huxley. From there no trace of him had been found until yesterday afternoon. The family and authorities took the matter up and among other things wired Banks' par ents at Blue Hill, a small town near Hastings, asking if Banks had come there. They received word from there to the effect that he had not shown up there, but later an investigation found the man in a hotel at Hastings, wbereJMLjwui confined rth of i\|ax,Vell 1908 mi Ji amis Conductor George Goodwin ol Clinton Chose Death lJathev That Disgrace FORTY YEARS IN SERVICE Conductor Goodwin Was One of Old­ est and Best Known Men on Iowa Division of Chicago Northwestern- Summoned to Chicago Offices Last Week, Spocis.l ti, Times-Republican.

The World bad printed a map show ing by states tha wane of democratic power under the leadership of Mi. Bryan, from which it argued that come other candidate should be se lected for the next struggle. Mr. Bryan accused the V»rorld of seeking to de ceive its readers by not referring to the election of 1894 in which demo cratic color on the map of the United States had reached its lowest ebb. Bryan argued that in the election of 1S96 and 1H00 under his leadership the party showed a gain as compared to the off-year election of 1894, during the Cleveland administration. He then turned the attack upon the World, accusing its publisher, Mr. Pulitzer, of being financially interested in the stocks and bonds of many trusts and of having accepted money from the republican campaign fund for the pub lication of campaign advertisements In the World, cartooning the democratic candidate. To a New York Tribune reporter Mr. Bryan made some replies as to his at titude toward Parker, as to Govenor Johnson, as to predatory wealth and as to the panic which will be read with interest thruout the country in view of his very probable candidacy for the presidency next fall. "A great many people failed to vote for Parker, and I have not had time to communicate with them personally and see why,' 'said Mr. Bryan. "But I did what I could to secure votes for him. and he not only appreciated my services during the campaign, but he ^called on me the tirat time I was here "after the campaign and told me so. I was opposed to his nomination for rea sons which gave, but when he was nominated I did all in my power to (secure his election, and there was not '-enough money in the republican cam paign treasury to buy one Inch of space jn 'The Commoner' to use against him. I shall not allow my loyalty In that campaign to be questioned by a paper that claimed to be the discoverer of the candidate and was'willing for pe cuniary considerations to sell its pages for a cartoon that was as abusive of the candidate as language could have been." When questioned as to Governor Johnson, he evaded by saying: "The greatest objection that I have heard to him is that 'The World' con siders hfm a fit man to nominate, I think its support/ an unfortunate re flection on him." The Tribune reporter then asked him whether he believed that the present standard of business morals warranted a continuance of the crusade against go-called predatory wealth and Mr. Bryan replied: "1 ..believe that the morals of. bus lines^ will be improved by crusading against predatory wealth, and I think that it is 'time that the honest indus tries of the country and the honest business men separate themselves from the dishonest ones and let dishonesty in business be driven out. The men who have been exploiting the country are attempting to shield themselves behind thu legitimate business, and legitimate business is sometimes made to bear the odium which ought to be borne by wrongdoers alone, but honest business men, instead of complaining of the distress, ought to assist in the crusade." The above declaration Is of especial political significance because of the rumor that the captains of predatory wealth -have organized to elect a dem ocratic president in order to bring about a dead lock between the execu tive and a republican congress in the matter of constructive legislation di rected at them. They might be disap pointed if the gentleman should stick to his text. Upon the subject of the recent pan ic Mr. Bryan in reply to the question, "Do you apprehend an improvement in business next year if the democrats win?" said: "I do. There will be an immediate restoration of confidence. The republi can party has destroyed confidence. It sold the government to the highest bidders, and has been delivering the goods1, and the result is that the ex ploiting 'jnterpclses were carried so far that they broke down of their own weight. The present panic started in Wall street and spread. It began with the floating of watered stock, and con? tinued because the republican leaders have so tied the country to Wall street that your gambling transactions on the Stock Exchange affect the whole coun try. The democratic party stands for a return to honest government and leg islation in behalf of the whole coun try, and riot for the favored few." ,s r-s&f. »1 fj-' .1 Published.

Mr. Bryan hau proved himself a most worthy successor to Mr. Roosevelt as chairman of the credentials committee in the Annanias club. He not only says in his haste that all men are liars who jump on to him, but like Roose velt he is not afraid to repeat it at leisure and inscribe it in the cold prints, i'pon the occasion of his recent visit to Nw York City he paid his respects to the New \ork World in language very much similar to the Roosevelt message of this morning, In fact the similarity in the rough and tumble replies of the two men can not CEREBROSPINAL FEVER. Tress dispatches from ali tfver the state, tell of sporadic oir breaks of cerebro-spinal fever, or mtninl£ltls. The disease is little understood by the medical profession, altlio it has been known to exist for lnunj years. A well-known physician of this city con tributes the following treatise on disease, in which tli 1 1 1 1 to be classed with smallpox, measles, etc. It is infectious from atmospheric or oilier local conditions. The state has classed board of health, however, it among such diseases as Asiatic chol era, bubonic plague, and for that rea son local boards of hea th entorce quarantine. The communication tolling of the disease Is a.s follows: ".Meningitis, meaning ail Inflamma tion of the membranes investing the brain and spinal cord, or both, is a disease occasionally met with in every community, and as a rule is in the form of a secondary or terminal in fection following or complicating some other disease, notably cholera infan tum, typhoid fever, pneumonia, erysip elas. and other septic infections. "Appearing in this form it means simply an invasion of the cerebro spinal membranes, by the infective agents or toxic principle of the pri mary disease, and is an extremely dangerous and usually fatal complica tion. This form of the disease, as well as the more chronic tubcrculor type, while similar in many respects as re gards symptoms and termination. Is nevertheless radically different from the pVevailing epidemic lich is a dis tinct and separate disease, caused by an infective agent which attacks pri marily the cerebro-spinul membrane. This disease, commonly known as cerebrospinal fever, some times called "spotted fever," has probably long ex isted, Vint was first described in the early part of the last century by a Swiss physician, whose observations touching an epidemic a'. Geneva, in 1805. is the earliest literature we have on the subject. The disease (irst made its appearance in this country In east ern Massachusetts during the same year. From tjils date, until 1830, it pervailed in many parts of the I nited States. Since then it has reappeared at intervals of from fifteen to twetll years in various parts of the country, its distribution becoming more general of late. In 1S1KS-9 it was reported as prevailing in twenty-sewn states. "The epidemics are localized, and are rarely very widespread. Outbreaks occur inost frequently in winter and spring. As a rule country districts have ben more afflicted than cities. Children and young adults are most susceptible. As predisposing influences, over exertion, exposure to climatic change, depressing mental and bodily surroundings, and bad hygienic condi tions, have been cited. The disease is or hearing. Convalersenee is exiremely tedious,' and may be interrupted by complications. The mortality has ranged in various epidemics from twenty to seventy-five per cent. In children the death rate is much higher than in adults. "The treatment of true cerebro spinal fever is not very satisfactory, the chief measures being an avoidance of the causes that are supposed to pre dispose to the infection. Attention to matters of diet, avoidance of exposure to sudden changes of weather, and other influences that tend to depress the vital powers, with due regard to the eliminative functions of the body, comprise the principal safeguards against this dangerous malady."

He ought to find a chord of communicable by contact as is measle's, smallpox, etc., but is infectious from prevailing atmospheric or other con ditions, after the manner of lagrippe. It Is very rare to find more than one or tw*o cases in a house and in eit epidemics the distribution of cases is very irregular. "The disease Is believed to bo due to a germ called the diplocoecus intercel lularls, which gains access to the men inges probably by way of the blood supply, and excites a local inflamma tion characterized first by intense con gestion and later by a creamy purulent exudate which covers the surface of the membranes and fills interspaces. "As regards the course and symtoms of the disease there is marked varia tion in different epidemics. Two prin cipal forms are recognized—the malignant and the ordinary. In the first form the onset is sudden, usually with violent chills, intense headache. }elirium, rapid feeble pulse, coma and death. Often a mottled appearance of the surface is present from which was derived the old name "spotted fever." Many of these cases terminate fatally within twenty-four hours. The ordin ary form of the disease sets in sud denly with headache, pains in back, and loss of appetite. There is rise of temperature, full strong pulse, and painful stiffness of milscles of the neck. The headache increases, and there Is great sensativeness to light and sound. In severe cases the heau is drawn backward between the shoulders. There is extreme restless ness and delirium. The pain is chief ly in the back of the head and extends to the neck and spine. The severer cases of this type usually terminate fatally within a week.

Japan in Bondage. (New York Tribune.) Ever since the war with Russia there have been rumors of Japan's pecuni ary straits. While there was at times reason to suspect that these were ex aggerated, the conviction has been in- then the mold removed from around I that she conceived the idea of some it by opening tho latter on its hinges war, for was received, and expenses of the years of military empire. It must be remembered that Japan, including half savage Formosa, had scarcely SO,000,000 inhabitants, and that, having for ages been devoted to military and artistic affairs, rather than to qomme&e, it has been and is conspicuously devoid of wealth. Now we are told by a Tokio correspondent of the New York Evening Post, who appears to be well informed and tem perate, that Japan's foreign debt amounts to $1,650,000,000, at high rates of interest that taxation is $31.50 a head of the population, that stocks and shares were never lower in the history of the empire, that the price of rice, the great food staple of the common people, has doubled in the last year, and that the general cost of living has increased one-fifth in five years with out any corresponding increase in wages or salaries. In such circum stances there is little exaggeration in saying, as the correspondent says, that Japan will soon be driven to struggle for her existence as a solvent nation. That she will win is hardly to be doubted, but it will not be an easy victory. Japan has not the vast, un developed resources which America had at the close of our civil war. She has not the reserved wealth nor the or ganized industrial and commercial po tency which were the salvation of France after "the terrible year." She has, however, ingenuity, enterprise, thrift, patriotism and indomitable am bition, so that, tho the burden is heavy and galling, we shall expect to see her carry, it bravely and unwavering ly to a triumphant end. But since there is no reason to suspect Japan of desiring to commit hara-kiri, it is in conceivable that she should be socking a war with any important power, or, indeed, that she should not bo earn estly intent upon keeping the peace. We believe that, at least so far as the LTnited States is concerned, the policy friendly, no matter how prosperous and pecuniarily resourceful she might be. Lateral Spread.

The contrast between those who have spent one year in the place and those who have been there only a few days or weeks is strongly marked.

At least one-fourth of the women who bring their children here have been deserted by their 'husbands and have from one to four chilelren.

They go to work a': 8 a. m., and work until 5:30 p. m., and receive $1.50 to $1.75 a day. Some laundry workers receive $12 a week. Many of them are uneducated and have lived in such a way that they are incapable of working in tho best families Such women are kept in this establishment and taught how to do the work well. Women who come here for protection and are sincere and honest, receive protection in every way, even to food, and they or their children are sent to hospitals if necessary. The chilelren are expecteel to be brought clean and combed, but if they are not, the matron is responsible for the thorough eleranliness of the child and it- clofhing. It if pitiful in some instances to see the strain the mother has made In her pride to have her child clean and mended. Every child has its separate towel, comb and sponge, and is taught to use thean, and is provided at table with bowl, mug, plate and spoon.

Can non, Whom Bryan Expects to Oppose For President SELF MADE MAN WITH BIG HEART Cannon Possesses a Delightful Person­ ality—Has No Use For Oslerism— Likes to Be One With All Men- Some Samples of His Stories, in the Telling of Which He Excels* By JAMES A. EDGERTON. HE Hou. Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the house of repre sentatives, uncle to all the Unit ed States and some outlying de pendencies and who will be the next Republican nominee for president, nc cording to a prophecy by William J. Bryan, is known as the "David Ha rum" of politics. He was born of Quaker ancestry, a fact which would not be suspected from his language. but which is faintly hinted at by his whiskera. These hirsute adornments, which were once as fiery as their own er's expietires and waved in the fore front of battle like the bright orlflamb of war, are uow as white as those of *v a billygoat, which pugnacious animal [,4 Uncle Joe resembles In other ways. Mr. Cannon is past seventy, but does not believe in the Osier theory. No man pa9t seventy does. All the con "j,1 verts of that doctrine are under sixty and are liable to a sudden change of VV faith on passing that crucial birthday. iWiV"'. TTM«1A T.L\ 4AAO nAf IAAI* G£k*rik*itTr Uncle Joe does not look seventy, does not feel seventy and does not act isev enty. As a man is only as old as he looks, feels and acts, Cannon should call the almanac by a shorter and ug lier name and send It to join the presi dent's gallery of liars. This act would so add to his popularity among all women past thirty that it would cer talnly land him in the White House. Besides, it would be carrying out one j, of the policies of the administration and might even divide the Taft sup port from that quarter. Has No Use For Oslerism. So vigorously does the speaker ob Ject to being Oslerized that he talcei the thing seriously and makes an ur gument against it. When asked if iu was ready to be chloroformed accord ing to the Osier formula, Uncle Joe s' Indignantly replied: "The ablest, the most learned, the Stif'i most forceful leader the Democratic Mfes ^/party has had in my time or any oth ^ser time was Samuel J. Tilden. Why, jjpjsttae Democratic party today would be glad to take up the cadaver of Tilden and hall It as a leader feSi one asked. .?i ,o J1 *j"V I" V-% 77 't „.•.'.'i fh SPEAKER CANNON AND MISS HELEN CANNON. "And how -old was Tilden?" some I. About a thousand, wasn't he?" re plied the speaker, "Anyhow, he was over sixty There is at least this much to be said in Uncle Joe's favor. He is old enough to run for president If he wants to. He is not barred by youthfulness neither is there any danger of his be ing referred to as the boy orator. Still, although nearly seventy-two, he is not as old as Gladstone and Disraeli while they were yet great parliamentary leaders, as Von Moltke and Bismarck when they whipped France and made Germany, as Lord Roberts and Paul Kruger when they led their respective Bides in the Boer war, as Goethe and Herscbel when they did some of their best work or as Ilenry Gassaway Da vis when he returned to earth to run for vice president. One of the reasons that the speaker lias been able to live to such a hale and frisky age is that when the angel iof death came looking for those saintlj 'characters that are cut off in the flower of their youth Uncle Joe was always able to ptove.an alibi. He was cither running for office, telling stories, play ing poker, swearing at the Democrats, .'acting as bank president or serving in Aii congrees. none of which can be de jv-acrtbed as exactly a saintly occupation s: Them are two Cannons, one made by .miwanaoer correspondents and the 1 other b.v muiiiv.

"Darn Poor Job at It." This is the Cannor manufactured by the reporters. The other—the one he Bald he made himself and "did a darn poor job at it"- bears a remote like ness to this caricature, but that Is about all. It Is the difference between a cartoon and a half lone. The orig inal has the general run of features nnd expression ascribed to him. It Is true, but with the emphasis different ly placed. The caricature italicizes the peculiarities, while the real portrait brings out the underlying fineness and beauty of character. Mr. Cannon has most of the idiosyncrasies that are charged to him and perhaps a few more, but they are not all of him. In deed, they are but a small part, and the superficial part at that. Cannon, like most men of his type, is better than he is paiuted—is better than he paints himself—for it is the habit of such men 1:0 caricature them selves quite as much as the newspa pers caricature them. Nor do they af fect the pose. It Is spontaneous, yet it does them Injustice. In the old phras ing they put the worst side out. They wear a comic masl:, which has but grotesque likeness to their own true features. Many things account for this tend ency of some men to show their worst, or at least their roughest, aspect to the public. Hatred of sham is perhaps the most potent. They so despise the Pharisee, the chap with the holler than thou attitude they so abominate the charlatan, the prig and the fop, that they go to the other extreme. They so want to be genulue that they prefer to seem less good th.in they are rather than more. Likes to Be One With All Men. Another reason for the exterior af fected by a man of the Cannon mold is that he desires to seem and be like his fellows. He coes what the rest do not so much because he wants to eat forbidden fruit or even because he wants to gain i'avor, but merely through a sense of brotherhood and good fellowship.. It is an agpect of the I flemocratic attitude, not fhe highest aspect perhaps, but still one that must be recognized. With most men who are ruled by this impulse it is but dim ly recognized or is entirely uncon scious. By the keen mind of Abraham Lincoln, however, who had the same characteristics himself this inner mo tive was clearly fieen and stated. He Bald that nothing could be very wrong that is done by mostv of the people. That is quite characteristic of Lin coln's large charity and faith in ma jority rule, but it is a doctrine not without its perils for all that. It Is a fine thing to be dne with all men, not to seem separate from them in any way, but it is a finer thing to be one with truth, to bj white to the core. Lincoln was both, tor as nearly so as any man seen in our time. It would be well for those actuated by the same democratic spirit to follow in his foot steps. Perhaps the most immediate influ ence in shaping men of the Jackson and Lincoln school, to which those of the Cannon and Tillman type belong In lesser degree, is that of early envi ronment. Lack of college education, too, has something to do with it. Your average college, with all that may be said for it, has a monotonous tendency to reshape all men by the same pat tern—at least outwardly. The inward man is something that even colleges cannot entirely deprive of individual' ity. Conformity kills manhood and civ ilization. There is no species of same ness so deadly as that of character. God made souls, and he made them different. JligueiLeducaUon is_a great iM thing, but ft would be still greater If It had too much reverence lightly to in terfere with these (Jod made differ ences in the souls of men. Joseph G. Cannon was fortunate enough to escape this ironing out proc ess that polishes all men Into a sem blance of each other, rie made himself, and even if lie did do "a darn poor job" lie at least preserved his individ uality. The unique result is as delight ful as a breath from prairie or moiiu tain after months of the depressing air of the city. Samples of His Stories. Cannon's stories are not as famous as those of Lincoln, but he tells quite as many of them, and thoy are of the same quality, smacking of the soil and pally driving home some point. Here are a few samples that are good, even if not all new: It. has always been the custom of speakers to bow to the secretary of the senate when that functionary ap pears with a message from'the august upper body. When I'ncle nloe was in formed by his cimchers that he musi make a great bow 011 these occasions, he balked. He said he did not bow t« the senate and would not bow to Its secretaries. In thi.*, matter, however, he war hardly practicing reciprocity, for Can uon is the one speaker that lias made the senate bow to him on several oc casions. On a Washington street car crowded to suffocation, after the well known manner In which our public service corporations herd and jam the Ameri can people, a big man in trying to get out stepped on several persons, jam med others Into the corners and dis arranged the hats aud clothes of sev eral more. I'ncle Joe was slammed up agaiust a window. After the cyclone had passed the sage of Danville mildly Inquired as to the Identity of the big man who had maintained his rights even though he did have to walk over everybody else. "Senator Clay of Georgia," he was Informed. "Well," said. Uncle Joe, "he must think that his getting out Is guaran teed by the constitution." When the speaker once refused to talk to the reporters, oue of the bolder of the scribes said "Well, Mr. Speaker, I am going to wire tonight that your course will W— But he got no further. •My boy," said Cnnnon affectionate ly, but firmly, "I don't mind saying things occasionally, but I draw the line on having to edit what you 6ay." Neat Reply to a Landlady. In a country hotel I11 Illinois Mr. Cannon was so unfortunate as to up set his coffee and was soundly berated by the landlady. lie said nothing, and at the next meal she returned to the attack, remarking that It was a good thing for him the coffee did not stain lier cloth. This was too much for your Uncle Joseph, who rather hesitatingly aud meekly replied: "Use more beans, madam. You'll have to stain your coffee before you can expect to stain your cloths." When Reed was spenker and TTncr Joe was at the head of the appropria tions committee, a friend one day ac costed him "Joe, I hear you are a bigger man than the speaker." "Oh, no!" replied the sage of Dan ville. "You do me too much honor. Do you want to dethrone Christ?" Uncle Joe's definition of a pessimist is "a fellow that goes around looking for thorns to sit on." Long In Congress. Joseph G. Cannon was born in North Carolina in 1836. His parents removed to Indiana soon after his birth, where his father, who was a physician, took an active and at one time a perilous part against slavery. The boy clerked in a store, received a common school education, studied law and was ad mitted in Illinois, where he was soon elected State attorney of Vermilion county, serving seven years. He was chosen to congress in 1873, where he has served continuously ever since, with the exception of two years. For six years he was head of the appro priations committee, in which capacity he drafted the bill appropriating $50, 000,000 for the Spanish war, the first formal declaration of hostilities. He is now serving his third term as speaker. Mr. Cannon Is a bank president and is fairly wealthy, having good houses at Washington and Danville. Mrs. Cannon has long been dead, and his establishments are presided over by a daughter. Miss Helen. Uncle Joe of late years is becoming quite a society man. Is Bryan a prophet, and will Cannon be the next Republican nominee for president? The administration will op pose him, as it classes him among the reactionaries. On the other hand, he will have powerful support from most of the members of congress, who are generally men of influence in their states, mysterious as that may seebi to those who see them in Washington.

Miss Landis. Io you won der?" She did not reply. "Do you wonder?" he repeated sharply. "No." she said. "Then"— He straightened up, and the silent significance of his waiting attitude was plain enough to her. But she shook her head impatiently, saying: "I don't know whose dance it is, and I don't care. Please go on. It is—is pleasant. I like Mr. Siward 1 like to hear men speak of him as you do. I like you for doing it. If you should ever come to care for Biy friendship that Is the best passport to it—your loyalty to Mr. Slward." "No man can truthfully speak other wise than I have spoken," he said gravely "No, not of these things. But you know v-what is—is usually said when his name comes up among men." "Do you mean nbout his habits?" he asked simply. "Yes. Is It not an outrnge to drag in that sort of thing? It angers me Intensely, Mr. Plank. Why do they do it? Is there a single one among them qualified to criticise Mr. Slward? And, besides. It is not true any more, Is it, what was once said of him .with —with some truth? Is it?" The dull red blood mantled Plank's heavy visage. The silence grew grim as he did bis slow, laborious thinking, the while his eyes, expressionless and almost opaque in tho dim light, never left hers until under the unchanging, merciless inspection the mask dropped for an Instant from her anxious face, and "he saw what he saw. He was no fool. What he had come to believe she at last had only con firmed. And now the question became Bimple, Was she worth enlightening? And bj" what title did she demand his confidence? "You ask me if it is true any more. You mean about his habits. If I answer you, it is because I cannot be indif ferent to what concerns him. But be fore I answer I ask you this. Would your Interest in his fortunes matter to him?" She waited, head bent, then: "I don't know. Mr. Plank," very low. "Did your interest in his fortunes ever concern him?" "Yes. once." He looked at her sternly, his jaw squaring until his heavy under lip pro jected. "Within my definition of friend ship, is he your friend?" "You mean he"— "No I mean you. I can answer for him. How is It with you? Do you return what he gives—if there is really friendship between you. or do you take what he offers, offering nothing In re turn?" She had turned rather white under the direct impact of the questions. 'The jarriug repetition of his voice it self was like the dull »cho of distant blows. Yet it never occurred to her to resent it nor his attitude nor his self assumed privilege. She did not care. She no longer cared what he said to her or thought about her, nor did she care that her mask had fallen at last It "was not what he was saying, but what her own heart repeated so heav ily that drove the color from her face. Not he, but she herself had become ths pitiless attoruey for the prosecution not his voice, but the clamoring con science within her demanded by what right she used the name of friendship to characterize the late relations be tween her and the man to whom she had denied herself. Then a bitter Impatience swept her and a dawning fear, too, for she had set her foot on the fallen mask, and the Impulse rendered her reckless. fWhy don't you speak?" she said. "Yes, I have a right to know. I care for him as much as you do. Why don't you answer me? I tell you I care tfor him!" "Do you?" lie said iu a dull voice.

Plank rested his head on oue big hand and stared nt the clusters of dim blossoms behind her, and after awhile he said, as though thinking aloud: "Many have taken my friendship for granted and have never offered their own In return.

Will you advise me what to do. you, who are more entitled than I nm to know the truth, because he has given you the friendship which he has as yet not ac corded to me?" But Sylvia, dry eyed, dry lipped, could find 110 voice to answer, and aft er a little while thoy rose and moved through the fragrant gloom toward the sparkling lights beyond. Her voice came back as they en tered the brilliant rooms. "I should like to find Grace Ferrall," she said very distinctly. "Please keep the oth ers off. Mr. Plank." Fleetwood had missed his dance with her, but she scarcely heard his eager complaints. Quarrier, coldly inquir ing, confronted them, was passed al most without recognition and left be hind motionless, looking after them out of his nurrowlng, black fringqd eyes of a woman. Then Ferrull came, and, hearing his voice, she raised her colorless fuce. "Will you take me home with you, Kemp, when you take Grace?" she asked. "Of course. I don't know where Grace is. Are you in a hurry to go? It's only 4 o'clock." They were at the entrance to the sup per room. Plank drew up a chair for her, and she sank down, dropping her elbows on' the small table and resting her face between her fingers. "Pegged out, Sylvia?" exclaimed Fer rall incredulously. "You? What's the younger set coming to?" and he mo tioned a servant to fill her glass. But she pushed it aside, with a shiver, and gave Plunk a strange look, which he scarcely understood at the moment. "More caprices. All sorts of 'em on the programme," muttered Ferrall, looking down at her from where he stood beside Plank. "O temporal O Sylvia! Plank, would you mind hunt ing up my wife? I'll stay and see that this infant doesn't fall asleep." But Sylvia shook her head, saying: "Please go, Ivemp. I'm a little tired, that's all. When Grace is ready I'll leave with her." And at her gesture Plank seated himself, while Ferrall, shrugging his square shoulders, saun tered off in quest of his wife, stopping a moment at a neighboring table to speak to Agatha Caithness, who sat there with Captain Voucher, the collar of superb diamonds and aquamarines on her slender throat a pale blaze of splendor. Plank was hungry, and he said so in his direct fashion. Sylvia nodded and exchanged a smile with Agatha, who turned at the sound of Plank's voice. For awhile, as he ale and drank large ly, she made the effort to keep up a desultory conversation, particularly when anybody to whom she owed an explanation hove darkly in sight on the horizon. But Plank's appetite was In proportion to the generous lines on which nature had fashioned him, and she paid less and less attention to con vention and a trifle more to the beauty of Agatha's jewels, until the silence at the small table in the corner remained unbroken except by the faint tinkle of silver and crystal and the bubbling hiss of a glass refilled. Major Belwether, his white, flnfify, chop whiskers brushed rabbit fashion, peeped in at the door, started to tiptoe out again, caught sight of them and came trotting back, beaming rosy ef fusion. Hv leaned roguishly over the table, his moist eyes a-twlnkle with suppressed mirth, then, bestowing a sprightly glance on Plank, which said very plainly. "I'm up to one of my ir repressible jokes again!" he held up a smooth, white and overmanicured fore finger. "I was in Tiffany's yesterday," he said, "and I saw a young man in there who didn't see me, and I peeped over his shoulder, and what do you think he was doing?" She lifted her eyes a little wearily. "I don't know," she said. "I do," he chuckled. "He was choos ing a collar of blue diamonds and aquamarines—te-he—probably to wear himself—te-he! Or perhaps he was go ing to be marrietl—he-he-he—next win ter—ahem—next November—ha-ha! I ion't know, I'm sure, what he meant to do with that collar. I only"— Something in Sylvia's eyes- stopped him, and, following their direction, he turned around to find Quarrier stand ing at his elbow, icy and expression less. "Oh," said the aged jester, a little disconcerted, "I'm caught talking out in church, I see! It was only a harm less little fun, Howard." "Do you mean you saw me?" asked Quarrier, pale as a sheet. "You are in error. I have not been in Tiffany's iu months." Belwether. crestfallen under the White^menace of J^uarrior's face, nod- rieil and essayed a chuckle without.

I'.ul as lie iiad not, on his own statement, what did it matter/ Why should lie look that way at the foolish inaj-ir, to whose garrulous gossip he was accustomed and whose inability to refrain from prying was notorious enough. Turning disdainfully, she caught glimpse of Plank's shocked and al tered face. It relapsed instantly Into the usual inert expression. i?nd a queer, uncomfortable perplexity begun to in vade her. What had happened to stir up these three men? Ol what Impor tance was an Indiscretion of an old gentleman whose fatuous vanity and consequent, blunders everybody was rtm illar with? And, after all, How ard had not bought anything at Tif fany's. He said so himself. But It was evident that Agatha had chanced 011 the collar that Belwether (bought he saw somebody else examining. She turned and looked nt the dead wli'.to ueck of the girl. The collar was wonderful-a miracle of pale lire. And Sylvia, musing, let her thoughts run on, dreamy eves brooding. She was gla 1 that Agatha's means permitted her now to have such things. It had been understood for some years that the Caithness fortune was In rather au alarming condition. Howard had been able recently to do a favor or two for old Peter Caithness. She had heard the major bragging nbout it. Evident ly Mr. Caithness must have improved the chance If he was able to present such gems to his daughter. And now somebody would marry her. Perhaps Captain Voucher, perhaps evfen Alder dene, perhaps, as rumor had it now and then, I'iank might veijture into the arena. Poor Plank! More of- man thau people understood. She under stood. She- And her thoughts swung bnck like the returning tide to Slward, and her heart began heavily again, and the slightly faint sensation returned. She passed her ungloved, unsteady lingers .across her eyelids aud forehead, look ing up and around. The major aud Howard had disapieared. Plank, be side her, sat staring stupidly into his empty wineglass. "Isn't Mrs. Ferrall coming?" she said wearily. Plank gathered his cumbersome bulk and stood up, trying to see through the entrance into the ballroom. Aften- a moment he said: "They're in there, talking to Marlon. It's a good chance to make our adieus." As they passed out of the supper room Sylvia paused behind Agatha's cfc.air and bent over her. "The collar Is beautiful," she said, "aud so are you, Agatha." And, with a little im pulsive caress for the jewels, she pass ed on, unconscious of the delicate flush that spread from Agatha's shoul ders to her hair. And Agatha, turn ing, encountered only the stupid gaze ol' Plank, moving ponderously past on Sylvia's heels. "If you'll find Leila, I'm ready at any time," she said carelessly and re sumed her tete-a-tete with Voucher, who had plainly been annoyed at the interruption. Ferrall and his wife and Sylvia were making their adieus to Marion and her mother when Plank came up, and he, too, took that opportunity. Later Sylvia, passing through the great hall, shrouded in silk and ermine, turned to offer him her hand, saying in a low voice: "I am at home to you. do you understand?* Always," she added nervously. He looked after her. with an unconscious sigh, unaware that anything in himself had claimed her respect. (To Be Continued.)

He knows better than you do how to bake beans This is his specialty—his sole occupation—his one claim to supremacy. And he has the facilities. He has ovens so hot that they break down the fibre of beans and make them digestible. You cannot do that. He bakes in live steam, so the beans are baked well with out browning or bursting. Our beans are nutty, yet mealy. Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees. That's why our beans are digestible. We get better beans than you get. And we pay for them seven times what some beans would cost. Our sauce is made from vine-ripened tomatoes. It costs us just five times what some sauce is sold for. Then we bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork all together. Thus we get our delicious blend. Van Camp's pork and beans baked with tomato sauce Beans are Nature's choicest food when they are rightly baked. They are 23 per cent nitrogenous—-84 per cent nutriment. That's about the same as the food value of beef, but note what a difference in cost. Beans should be a daily food. Get Van Camp's beans, and your people will want them often. Then see what you save on your meat bills. You will never be content with home baked beans, after you once know ours •t Van Camp's are always ready. Heat the can in hot water—then open. It will seem as if the beans were fresh from the oven. When you are tired, here's a meal without labor. When you are hurried, here's a meal in ten minutes. And such a meal! What do you know that compares with it? But be- sure to get Van Camp's.

Fish That Change Color. it hat long been found that certain prawns, common along the coasts of England., change, their color at least twice every twenty-four hours in order to harmonize with the stronger or weaker light prevailing near tiie sur face or in the deeper water. As evening approaches these fish lose their distinctive day colors and all as sume a transparent azure hue. The change begins with a reddish glow, fol lowed l.y a green tinge, which gradu ally, melts into blue. The day and night enange becomes so habitual that specimens in perpetual iigiit or per petual darkness nevertheless undergo the periodic alteration of color. The Promise. (Washington Star.)

Came to Marshall County Fiftyrsevep Years Ago This Month. Fifty-seven years ago this month, before Marshalltown came into exis tence, Rev. James ^inley Hestwood made his claim and built a log cabin in Marshall county, where five or six families had'settled. The summer Of 1851 Is remembered in that part t)f the state as a season of the greatest flood^Tcnown since white people settled there.' The families were ishut in by Honey creek. Minerva creek and the Iowa river. When the streams became swollen and the surrounding country was inundated, the Rev.. Mr.. Hest wood's home became .1 3 refuge. He res­ cued one family by running his canoe into tlx? door of the cabin and loading them in. The refugees were soon out of meal and for six weeks they had no other flour than that made by pound ing corn in mortars. The first court held in the county Convened in a log cabin on the edge of the timber north of this city: The Rsv. Mr. Hestwood was a member of the first grand jury. The jury room was the 'timber north of the cabin.- Rev. Mr. Hestwood, who is now re tired from serviceat his home in Strawberry Point, for more than forty years preached Christianity, teaching men and women the way to better liv ing, in different parts of the state. He was born May 1, 1830, in Delaware county, OWo, being one of "a family of eight children. In October, 1849, he was married, and a few days later started west with father, mother, brother^, sisters and others—altogether a company of twenty-one. They stopped near Sycamore, DeKalb county Illinois, rented farms, but left them as soon as their crops were disposed of and started for Towa, reaching Ma haska county Oct. 20. 1850. His father became a local minister, his eldest brother, Samuel, and himself became members of the leva conference and two younger brothers, John and Wiliiam, of the Des Moines conference. When he arrived in Iowa, young Hestwood possessed one pair of 4-year old steers, but not a penny in money. OLD~SETTLI£RS ELECT. Rev. F. M. Wheeler Again President of the Association.

Albion residents were shocked this morning to learn that T. J. Spindler, a resident there for almost lifty years, widely known and highly esteemed by all, had been found dead in bed by members of the L. W. Fiscus family, with whom he has resided since his wife's death. Mrs. Fiscus is a daugh ter. Mr. Spindler had been afflicted with a light attack of grippe, but aside from that, seemed to be in his usual health when he retired Sunday night. He evidently passed away during the night, of heart failure, with which he had been troubled at times. He was seventy-six years of age on July 4, last. Mr. Spindler was born in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, July 4, 1831, and wth his parents moved to Ohio when three years old, living there until he came to this county, April "0, 1855. He held both the offices of town clerk and assessor for many years. He enlisted in the Thirty-second Iowa infantry during the civil war and served until discharged on account of disability. On May 20, I860, he married Miss Sus anna Wiltfong, who died April 'J, 1904. r\ tfi 1 v. -t,* Timcs-%epuliHttm, I.'JctrsteTItoiiT fextrtr X-Kay IMiolojrr.iplis Tnkcii in Airs.

"Loo'.f out. l'rank I'm going to shoot VOII" were the words that rang in merry jest late Sunday afternoon, when 11-year-old Jesse l^lower, son of William Flower, four miles northwest of town, pulled a 22-caliber ritlc to his shoulder and aimed it at Frank Had dock. also aged 11. The gun that Mas ter l'"|( wer believed not to bo loaded, went off, as it always does, and the bullet struck Haddock in the left breast. The wound Is a dangerous one, altho it is believed that the lad has a good chance for recovery providing complications ilu not arise. The accidental shooting took place at about 5 ::o Sunday evening. Young Haddock is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Haddock, who live directly across the road from the old Haddock place, which is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Flower. When Master Flower shot he was horrilied to see his play mate clap his hand to his breast and then witness a How of blood trickling ad a is a re the chest cavity on the left side, below the shoulder, and toward the rim of tilt lung, penetrating the lung.

So far the patient has shown but little tendency toward hem orrhages. He. is running some temper ature, but that is expected. His condi tion this afternoon is declared by his physician to be as favorable as could be wished for. The opinion is expressed that, providing no complications arise, the lad will recover.

Special to Tlmes-RepUblican. Grinnell, Feb. 10.—A sad death oc curred at 3 o'clock this morning when Willis Davis succumbed to pneu monia. Deceased was 68 years old and for some time had been a sufferer of diabetes and heart trouble, and only last Friday pneumonia set in. Mr. Da vis was city clerk, a prominent Ma son and a member of the G. A. R., and was one of the old residents of (Jriilt nell. 1-le leaves a wife and seven child ren to mourn his loss. The f.untral will be held Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Geo. D. Mcllrath, who v.as captain of Iowa college basket ball team, has gone to Chicago. He has completed his work in Iowa college and will enter Chicago University to take up the study of law. After the basket ball game between Grinnell and University of Minnesota, which showed the scar let and black great ability, the seniors of Iowa college held a reception in the V. M. and V. rooms, in honor of him. Mr. Mcllrath, better known as "dopie," will be greatly missed in I. C. as he was a very prominent member in all athletic work. The account of the basket ball game between Minnesota and Grinnell last Friday evening as printer! in another column of this paper on Saturday last was very misleading. There was no "terrific encounter." Not was "the work of the visitors extremely rough" taken as a whole. There was one man on the Minnesota team who might very properly have been put out of the game for rough conduct. Aside from this the game was as clean and sports manlike on both sides t.s one often sees. It was a game of fast and skillful play and pronounced by gDod judges of the game to have been as clean a game as they had ever seen rn that floor. In fact many games of far less impor tance have been very inuoh more cen surable for roughness. That there was 110 ill feeling 011 the part of the visitors was plainly shown when "hey gathered on the floor after their defeat and gave the Grinnell yell with a heartiness that was at the same time an acknowledge ment of their own defea. and a com pliment to tho skill of their oppon ents. The Oddfellows have just completed the renovating and decorating of the business room in thi'ir building 011 Main street under their iall and have one of the nicest rooms in any of the older buildings of the city. The growth or( declined 10^ 15c. There was general 1 bought and lifted up this building selling movement in provisions in con- j)ila ier jn the recent years since a ireujy cramped them for room in the hall above and a continued growth in the same ratio will cause them to make some arrangement for larger quarters. The railroad question in this com munity hSis just assumed a new phase. By the most recent investigations of the committee appointed by the city it appears that many of the farmers were unwilling to vote for the four per cent tax recently, because they thought that their burden in that case would be disproportionate to that of tVe city with the same per cent. The proposition now seems to be taking tho form that, if the city or private citi zens in both city and country will make up the necessary balance asked for, the township will call an election for the purpose of voting a thrfee per cent, tax. This, they seem to think, will equalize payments between city and township. In order to test the sentiment of both city and township, a public meeting for the city was s«z~y-hi:~ ''ftx. .r 4 3 called this morning at the city hall and a meeting of those interested in the township for 2 o'clock this afternoon. By this means it is hoped the differ ences may be adjusted in favor of the railroad. Rumors are-persistent upon the street that Kellogg and Marshall town are anxious for the new road and willing to treat the proposition hand somely. The sermon of Rev. Dascom at the Congregational church last evening is receiving very strong commendation. His subject was "Modern Sin and Our White House Prophet," and the ser mon was an appeal lor not only in dividual morality but for a wider, gen eral, social morality that makes each man his brother's keeper. Alluding to the recent message of the president, he said "It was not a message to congress merely. 1* it had been simply to a few legislators at Washington it would never have been written. It was an earnest appeal to the conscience of the American people." CEDAR FALL8 WINS DEBATE. Defeated Waverly High School Last Friday Evening. Special to Times-Republican.

Shippers have gone to lights and pigs with such avidity that the spread has narrowed and good light hogs are selling on a parity with choice mixed and good butchers. Discrimination is now. confined to up-and-down loads of mixed with a pig end in one direction and a coarse, heavy balance. Sheep. Sheep were weak in sympathy with other markets, most classes showing a decline of 10 cents. Most lambs offered last week were good and bulk were westerns with :i small proportion of natives and Colo rados. Compared with the close of the week before choice desirable weights sold about steady, while the heavy and plain offerings went about 10c lower. Altho supplies were larger than the previous week, outsiders had more liberal orders. O for the in creased shipping demand prices would undoubtedly have been lowered, as packers were indifferent when the out side demand was at all limited. Cau tious marketing of stock is all that Is needed to keep the good feeling that now prevails in the trade.

Chicago, Feb. 10.—'Receipts at the union stock yards broke all previous records today. Before noon more than 75,000 head had been Unloaded and more were arriving. The highest run previously recorded was Feb. 11, 1895, when 74,551 were received. The high price of corn is said to be the cause for the marketing of the animals in such numbers. The immediate effect 011 the Chicago market was a break of 10@15 In prices. Chicago, Feb. 10.—Cattle were slow to lQrt&l'o lower, despite good outside orders. Receipts were altogether too heavy for the needs of trade. Quality of supplies in the feeder iine has been plain and packers com peted for good weight offerings. Chief demand came from the east, but there was also fair Illinois and western in quiry for the better grades. Traders look for a considerably Increased in quiry for light steers as soon as weather warms up a little. Hogs. Hogs were 10 to 15 lower on a big run, which was the largest of any day in tile history of the local yards. There were but few shipping orders filled, and packers were exceedingly bearish. •Light and mixed classos now meet quite good call from both packers and shippers and are relatively best sell ers. The range of prices between poor to good mixed and light kinds has been quite narrow, and has been drawing together for several days. Many good hogs are coming nowadays and as the proportion of light-weights falls olt there is keener demand for them, which is putting values for these classes^iear er to the range for other grades. The encouraging feature is an emphatic broadening of eastern demand. Since January 1 shippers have taken 265,000 hogs, or 52,000 more than last year. For several weeks past, however, de hianil from that source has been dis tinctly lacking, as eastern markets have been constantly glutted and ship pers have been able to buy nearer home at close to Chicago prices, saving the expense of running their droves. Indi cations now are that high feed has driven the eastern crop to market earl ier than usual and that shippers will be forced to buy' an increasing num ber of hogs at Chicago right along, in which case regular packers will have less to say about framing up the price list and competition on light and pig stuff will be broader. While shippers were operating sparingly packers dis criminated against underweights. j+V ,V -T^i^r: jpxv-at- i. 1 THE DAY BEFORE. (For Comparison.) Chicago, Feb. 8.

Combination of Candidates to Secure Split Delegations Ef fected in the South HOPE TO DEFEAT SECRETARY AVnshington, Keh. 10.—A combination of presidential candidates against Sec retary Taft has been effected to make all of the southern states lights similar to that niude In Florida, where a double-header convention resulted. The managers of Fairbanks, Knox and Cannon are understood to have joined forces to this end. Tiiis plan of the opposition to Taft to muss things up in the south will focus attention, on the republican national convention. Folks are wonder ing how tlie committee which will make up the temporary roll of the convention, will stand as between Taft 011 the one hand and his combined opponents on the other. Various esti mates have been made here, purporting to show how the committee will line up but obviously none of them is ac curate. The work of I lie reactionaries is so bold, however, as to lend color to the suspicion that, whatever the real facts may be. they are going to trust to the national committee to stand by them. Should Ihe plans of the Allies carry, and Taft be defeated for tho nomin ation by the methods .hen: outlined, it is Hie very general belief in this city that Bryan will be the next president, or Governor Johnson, should he 1e the nominee at Denver. The chasm be tween the Tuff and anti-Tuft factions in the republican party already is dangerously near being wider than that existing between Bryan and large blocks of republicans. This tight for southern delegates, which on it-s face is a fraud, helps on tho work of dis union. A republican representative from a middle west state said today: "If "Taft should be defeated by the (tactics employed in Florida there are 10,000 republicans,. In my district who will vote for Bryan or any other democratic candidate. Bryan, In my judgment, would be elect'ed by a ma jority as large as Roosevelt received four years ago." Sherman for Speaker. It is tho plan for the allies to de feat Taft first, and then to consolidate on the man of their number' who Is A O N E A A W EXAMINATION of ABSTRACTS BANKRUPTCY proceedings and PRO BATE matters given special attention.

Folks who have not thought that the tight of the interests against Rooseveltism was a light to the death have some' more thoughts coming. Taft Men Not Disturbed. Friends of Secretary Taft, however, are not disturbed over- the situation in Florida. The press dispatches printed this morning after the convention cor rectly stated the situation and they came from disinterested sources and were not colored. A democratic citizen of Florida, who is thoroughly familiar with the situa tion, and lias no political interest In exploiting either faction of the repub lican party in Florida, said today "The truth of the matter is that Secretary Tuft's friends represent the better ele ment of he republican party in Flor ida and are the 'regulars.' The head and front of the Taft movement is M. Coombs, member of the national committee from that state and one of the referees in federal patronage mat ters. He is a wealthy business man who went to Florida, from the north, and has a high reputation fo& business and political integrity. 10. S. Chubb of Gainesville, the other referee, is regis trar of the land office at iaitiesvllle. .Among the other leaders in the Taft movement are Postmaster Nortliup of Pensacola. John M.

Douglas Wetmore, a negro, who for some time past has maintained law offices in New York city, and is in the employ of the negro league, that has been so active in backing Senator Foraker In the Brownsville matter.

The impurities and poisons in the blood which produce Catarrh can never be removed through the use of sprays, inhalations, washes, etc. Such treatment cannot reach the real cause, and their use alone should never be depended on to cure the disease. S. S. S. cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood of all impure catarrhal matter. It goes down and attacks the disease at its head, in the circulation, and removes every trace of the impurity that is causing the trouble. Then as THE SWOT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, OA.
