"I can also, assure the 1 ?u:.e, reflecting at the same time tVicir own conviction, that the same r.-quaint -.nee .will enanle him to occupy orcd and assured fact for the last two United States." The principles Mr. Bryan espoused he said, were so undeniable sound "that Ms victorious opponents have appro priated many of them and made them popular features of their policies. If, taid jHamill, it was true as charged by Ms colleague that Bryan was engaged In the practice of corralling delegates to the Denver convention, 'it was the very same practice indulged in "by the illustrious gentlemen whom my friends o:i the other side of the chamber boast of as their political chieftan." All eyes then turned toward Leake, who, amid republican applause, said he h:id been misunderstood, that the Con gressional Record would bear him out that he had cast no aspersions on the "peerless one." Leake Grows Sarcastic. iiS His tone in referring to Bryan was so sarcastic that hfe was again ap plauded by the republicans. Mr. Leake said it was his honest opinion that his views reflected the sentiment of his district, his state and county. There were, he said, certain principles of the democratic party which had been de narted from -since 1906, and that in this year when we see opportunity of vic toiy, we are still trusting our fortunes to the distinguished gentleman from Nebraska." Leake spoke of the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson, and reverting to Bryan provoked voreifer,ous republican applause, and general laughter when he said: believe that Bryan is sincere and Yionest, and I believe he is truthful, and I believe further lie cannot repre sent the principles of the democratic party before the American people. I believe he cannot preach doctrine of home rule in the states, and I do not believe he can preach the doctrine of American individuality, for when he rises as our leader, he is wound around by his heresies of free silver, by his doctrines of governmental ownership, and by his guaranteeing bank deposits of the 'United States, and by all those other socialistic tendencies." John Sharp Williams, leader of the minority, brought the colloquy to a climax and close. "I have observed," he said, "that the risibilities of the other side were con siderably stirred by a clash of two in dividual opinions on this side. The re publicans seem to rejoice that there is no rod of iron on the democratic side to assure absolute unanimity of opin ion. I recognize, as in contrast, that the republicans are generally united, notwithstanding the fact that now and then, when one of them rises, lie is warned by another of them to get out of the way or be run down."

The reserve scheme, he added, as now operated, works dishonestly and disastrously upon the rights of the American people atu deposits money in the country bank with a juggling that finally carries it to the reserve cities and contributes to make the worst system in the civilized world.

BARON" TO PRISON Carl Ludwig Von Veltheim Sentenced to Twenty Years of Penal Servitude for Attempt to Blackmail a Wealthy the First Objective PoinU r- Six Cars Start on Trip From Kew York to Paris, By Way of Alaska and Bering Strait LEAVE NEW YORK AT 11:15 A. M. Three French, One German, One Ital­ ian and One American Are Entered— Queerest Appearing Machines That Ever Passed Up Broadway—'Frisco Xew Tork, Feb. 12.—Six automobiles started from the Times square at 11:15 a. ni., today on a race to Paris, by the way of Beliring Strait. The departure wa's witnessed by a great throng of people. Accompanied by more than 200 mo tors of all descriptions, the racing ma chines il\ade their way up Broadway and Riverside Drive to the city limits, where they turned north on the road to Albany. From that city, the route to San Francisco, which is the objec tive point of the first stage trip, lies across New York state to Buffalo, thence thru Cleveland, Toledo, Chica go, Omaha, Cheyenne, Ogden, Reno, Goldfield, San Luis, Obispo and San Francisco. The contesting cars are the queerest looking machines ever devised for ino ,toring purposes. With their heavy equipment, stores and camp utensils, several of them were a modern repre sentation of the old prairie schooners. One of them resembled a hook and ladder truck with long running boards on either side, equip ped with axes, shovels, ropes and a dozen other articles. The cloth ing of the drivers varied from black bear srkins to a pure white fur outfit and head dress. Three French cars, one German, one Italian, one Ameri can, started in the race. Three men constituted the crews of the foreign machines, but there were only two in the American car. Each machine car ried a flag of its own nation, and that of the United States. They were plen tifully decorated with signs and pla cards, so there could be no mistaking their identity wherever seen. The esti mates vary as to the length of time the race will require. From 6 to 9 months it is believed, will be con sumed. All the drivers are confident of reaching their destination thru the frozen fields of Alaska and -Siberia, Steamers will transport the machines from San Francisco to Valdez. Alaska from Nome to East Cape, Whence to Si beria across Behring Strait. NO OPPOSITION TO TAFT. Republican Primaries Held Thruout Ohio Yesterday.

YELLOW PERIL MENACE Pointed Out irf' Lecture by Prof. Fryer of California State University—Am ericans Fail to Realize What China fs Doing. San Francisco, Feb. 12.—A menace of "yellow peril" resulting from the forceful awakening of China by the foreign powers, was pointed out in a lecture to the students yesterday by Professor John Fryer, head 6f the de partment of oriental languages and literature at the state university. His .statements were especially significant on account of Fryer's long residence in China. He said the Americans do not begin to realize what is taking place in China and do not realize that with, the de parture from conservatism and accept ance of the form of oriental civiliza tion, she may go further, and faster than have even the Japanese. He pointed to the millions of people at her command, to the rise of "China for the Chinese" movement, to the acceptance of modern methods of education, even to the addition of higher education for women, and to the increased tendency, toward the growth of real natural spir it thru the enforcement of the teach ing of one dialect, and the spread of railroads, resulting in the centraliza tion of power. He said if they con tinued to learn as they are doing gen erally, China would have an army and navy ready to fight any of the world's great powers.

There are increasing indications that somebody Is engaged in looking for a candidate for United States sen ator with which to beat the governor of hwa. A great deal has been said about different candidates, and it is reasonable to Infer that the general plan is to have brought out a number of candidates. Effort is being made to gel Birdsall into the race. It is known that Haugen and Cousins have been urged to got into the game. Lacey Is 011 record as desiring a try at it. But if there is to be any concentration on a candidate, either before the primary or after—with Allison out of it for any reason—then the man who will be the beneficiary is Walter I. Smith, of Council Bluffs. Smith confidently ex pects to go to the senate at some time. He will not, however, retire from con gress under fire to make the race. (Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Feb. 12.—Lafe Young, leader of the standpatters for Iowa, has returned from seeing the men who do thing politically. Great activity in the standpat camp will follow. The cue has been given. it is recalled that several years a'go, after Lafe had been writing the red hottest editorials ever in favor of then immediate revision of the tariff. and after he had been insisting daily in his paper that the tariff schedules signers was Ed.

He even went so far as tha: district of the state, to write some real nice Lliings about republican administration of Iowa af fairs. Another journey and again the cudgel was taken up and "tariff tink ers" were whacked right and left. But there is one thing that the pro tected trusts would like to have done. so the word comes from the Ipast and that is that Governor Cummins must not be permitted to break into the United States senate under any cir cumstances. They even go so far as to demand that before this is done Iowa shall be turned over to the dem ocrats ai)d the state be abandoned by the republicans. As a result it is re garded as certain that we are just on the verge of a fight which will be one of the most vicious ever known. The plan is to stir up all the factionalism possible, to arouse the protected in terests of the east so that they will pour money into Iowa again as in the past, to denounce the republican gov ernor of Iowa as a "democrat" and all his friends as factionalists and fin ally to in the biggest cam­ paign of mud-slinging, deception, mis representation, etc., ever known in the state. It Is stated here today that the plans are being made for a conference of standpatters, to be held either here or in Burlington or Cedar Rapids—or In Chicago, which is their favorite place —and that when this is done the gen eral plan of action will be adopted. It is understood that since his return Lafe Young has kept the long distance telephone wires hot sending for the faithful of the factional interests to come to Des Moines and meet him and get instructions as to what to do. He claims that he will have them all in here very soon and the campaign will be started right. With the Shaw candidacy absolutely disposed of any out of the way the Taft people who are looking at Iowa from a distance feel absolutely sure of a delegation that will be for the Ohio candidate. They are absolutely relying upon the action of the progres sives, of those who represent the ma jority in Iowa, and feel sure that when the earliest conventions arc linld that 1 he trend will be so pronouncedly to- .lli: leaves a wife and two children.

It is expected by tile Tafi I people that the conventions to be held in Iowa this week will take the lead in pronouncing for the policies of President Roosevelt and their continu ation thru a Taft administration. It is the plan of the Taft people to force the matter here.

It so happens that the trusts have taken especial dislike to Judge Taft and almost equal dislike to Hughes, on the tariff question, and it is sur mised that from this time forward there will not be so much support of Taft as a great man on the tariff. In fact the tariff views of Taft will not be much discussed by those who' have been de nouncing all revisionists as tariff tink ers. Already there is manifest some lukewarmness toward Taft and his tariff views. It may go much further. dicated intention of having an open headquarters here with a paid force.

Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 12.—An attempt to kill every American at the Santa Rosa mine, in Senora, twenty mllea south of Douglas, was made on Sat urday last, when the Mexican employes placed a stick of dynamite under the boarding house, the company's store and the foreman's and superintendent's residences. Fuses attached to the dy namite were limed for, the explosions to follow each other in quick succes sion. The hour selected was during the evening meal, vvhen all the Ameri can miners were in the boarding house. The store and boarding house were de molished, and fifteen men, eating, wero blown thru the roof of the boarding house, sustaining broken legs and arms, but there were no fatalities. At the foreman's residence the dynamite failed to ignite, but the superintend ent's office was demolished, and h£ es raped injury. Rurales are already on the scene, and eighteen Mexicans are under arrest. An attempt to destroy the Americans, is believed to be the work of sympathizers with the revolu tfonists, at present urider arrest at Los Angeles, who claim the prisoners ar® being persecuted by the Americans.

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 in civilized countries are free from dyspepsia, which interferes with the whole sys tem and causes trouble everywhere.

A Noiseless Bridge. According to the Iron Age, the new steel bridge of the Chicago Alton over the Sangamon river, near Spring field, 111., has been made almost noise less, the vibrations of the ironwork when a train crosses being almost en tirely eliminated by laying eight inches of ballast between the sleepers and the steel structure. There Is said to be less noise when a train crosses this bridge than when running along the ordin ary roadbed. The extra expense for the ballast, and heavier bridge mem bers required, makes the construction more practicable for short spans than for long ones, but its value for ele vated ones should be as great.

1(11 HI! June Will See Herds of Iowa Fanners Almost Entirely Depleted POOR PRICES DISCOURAGING Advancing Cost of Corn Causes Many to Sell Off Everything Cattle Herds Also Being Thinned Out Higher Prices Sure to Follow by Early Summer. fSpeclai to Times-Republican. Evanston, Feb. 12.—Next June will •ee a less number of marketable hogs In Iowa than in many years, say the livestock men who are conversant with the situation over the state at large. For several years hogs have not been raised as extensively as formerly and during the present winter the shortage and extremely high price of corn have driven practically all of the farmers to sell their hogs, almost to the last animal they possessed. Many of those who have been in the habit of feeding as many as eiglity to 100 swine per year have disposed of even their breed animals and will raise none the coming season with the exception, perhaps, of two or three for killing. The, low prices that have existed for the past few months have still further discouraged the raising of hogs an other season. Not as many hogs have been raised in the state since the poor season of four or five years ago. At that time, as now, with a general shortage of corn and the price soaring about the sixty-cent mark, there was a general Cleaning out, reducing the number to the minimum, and since that time, al tho there have been two or three good crops, the high price of corn' has tempted a great many farmers to sell their crop rather than feed it. This condition has not tended to the high eat production of hogs. This year many Iowa farmers were forced to begin buying corn for feed as early as the fore part of January. Even those who had in a large acreage of corn are numbered among these in loma cases. Very few farmers in the short sections have enough to more than carry them thru the winter and nil are hoarding their feed in every manner possible. In some sections this condition has driven the grain ment to Ship corn in to supply the feeders of their vicinity. There is not enough corn marketed from their ter ritory to fill the local demand. It is the report of the buyers that the hogs in the soft corn sections of the state are practically all disposed of at this time. 5. The few that remain are being shoved off as rapidly as possible. A good deal the same condition is re ported among cattle feeders. Only a few In the short sections are feeding. The greater number are selling their steers as feeders or are carrying them over on roughness to another season. It Is stated that very few fat cattle will be shipped out of the state this spring, as compared with other years. Cattle Being Thinned Out. Owing to these conditions the cat tle, too, are being thinned out, but the movement is not as serious as that among hogs. It is, in most cases, only the steers that are being disj/osed of. The cows are being kept and there will be almost the usual number of calves coming on. Cattle can be kept thru the winter on roughness and the farm ers are not forced to crowd them off as •they have their hogs. •The heavy drop in the market just at the time when It became apparent to the farmers that they would be forded to dispose of their hogs was most Inopportune and lias caused the farmers of the state at large a loss of! several hundred thousand dollars. It Is the expectation of the buyers, now that the most of the hogs have been disposed of, the market will be gin to climb again. Contrary to the general rule, the price of both hogs and cattle, but more particularly the former, has been low out of all pro portion to that of corn. But next June, says the buyers, the law of supply and demand is bound to exert itself and it Is the belief of many of them that the price will again be well to the top. Some predict that $6 or even better is not Improbable- at that time, if the new corn crop is In good prospect by that time, the scarcity of hogs will be still more felt as the season advances, as the farmers who have them will keep them to feed off the new crop. This, It Is said," will have a tendency to fttill further advance the price. COWS MUST BE INSPECTED. Ordinance Passed at Iowa Fsrtls Be comes in Force Feb. 18. Bpeclal to Times-Republican.

IOWA WILL HAVE RIFLE RANGE. State Has Taken an Option on Land Near Iowa City. Iowa City, Feb. 12.—The state de partment has taken an option on 160 acres on the''Iowa City Cedar Rap ids interurban twelve miles north of Iowa City, which means that the long controversy over the location of a rifle range for the use of the Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth regiments of the* Iowa (National guard Is ended, and that the range, will be located on the land men tioned.

This range will be used by the twenty-four companies of the two reg iments, and. being easy of access, it is thought will give general satisfaction. The light should be good most of I lie day. as the guardsmen will shoot north. The deal has not been finally com pleter! for there is a cloud on the title to the land.

Special to Times-Republican. Hampton, Feb. 12.—It is currently reported here and on good authority that one of the oldest business insti tutions in the county, if not the oldest, Is soon to suspend operations. We re fer to Beed's roller mills. This mill, together with Beed's lake, created to furnish a water supply to operate the mill, has become a landmark that is known to probably every resident of tlvis countv and to not a few outside our boundaries. The mill was established about the year 1S61 bv one G. K. Uiwehandt, who 'constructed a small brush dam and operated the mill some eighteen months, when the property was pur chased by the present owner, William G. Beed, who lias given, his personal attention to the business ever since—a period of forty-five years. During this tinje the only other wat er power in this vicinity, and in fact the only grist mills of which we have any knowledge, were at Iowa Falls, twenty miles away, and Belmond, a distance of twenty-two miles. Thus it will be seen that Mr. Beed and his mill supplied one of the prime necessities of life in the days before it was so common a practice for people to so far forget their home 'institutions as to withdraw their patronage from a worthy home enterprise and buy their supplies abroad, a condition that has had not a little to do with the falling off in patronage of this mill .in recent years. Another condition that has worked to Mr. Beed's disadvantage, and one that has been unavoidable, is that he .has. been obliged to haul the grain from this, the nearest railroad point, to the mill, a distance of three miles, by team, and to haul the fin ished products back in the same way. This, of course, has added much to the cost of operation. Thru the kindness of Mr. Beed and tlie co-operation of some of our bus iness men, a picnic ground has been provided contiguous to the lake, where, during the summer months hardly' a. pleasant day passes that the vicinity is not visited by a picnic party from some part of the county, bent on pleas ure in some of the many ways it Is provided at this popular place. Boat ing, fishing, bathing, picnic dinners, for which tables, a stove and even benches were provided, and even a "chute the chutes" are among tha means provided to furnish pleasure and pastime for visitors. In the winter season the lake fur nishes a splendid quality of ice for local use, and if occasion demanded, a large amount might be shipped to points less favored. If it should be the intention to cease the operation of the mill and to abandon it, there would be no fur ther need of the dam for power pur poses, and it Is feared thaf it would soon be allowed to fall into a weak ened condition and might ultimately be destroyed to such an extent as to per mit the escape of the water now im pounded. If this should be»true the main beauty and attraction of the place would be destroyed, a condition, which, in view of its present popular ity, would certainly be regretted. It is to be hoped that some way may be found to keep the mill in operf. tion and to preserve indefinitely the usefulness of Beed's lake and the pic nic ground adjoining, as a pleasure re sort for the people of our county.

During warm, pleasant weather, when an active, out-door life may be enjoyed, sufficient exercisa indulged in, and when other favorable conditions exist, some ot the impurities and catarrhal poisons which produce the trouble are removed from the system through the perspiration and other avenues of bodily drainage. Bur, when Winter comes with its snow and ice, its slush and cold, the free working of the system is interfered with, the blood becomes thick and congested, and the catarrhal matter is left to disease and corrupt the body. \(7 The entire inner portion of the body is lined with a delicate fibre known as mucous membrane—in other words the inner skin of our bodies. This membranous tissue is a perfect network of veins, arteries and capillaries, through which it is supplied with nourishment and healthful properties from the great source of life, the blood. So long as the circulation remains pure this mucous membrane will be healthy, but when the blood becomedf infected with catarrhal impurities and poisons, the tissues become diseased, and Catarrh, with all its unpleasant symptoms gets a foot hold in the system. The polluted, impure condition of the blood causes irritation and inflammation of the different mucous surfaces, and the earl)' stages of Catarrh are characterized by such symp toms as a tight, stuffy feeling in the head, watery eyes, ringing noises in the ears, constant hawking and spitting," and often hoarseness and difficult breathing. The annoyance of even these early symptoms, together with the filthy character of the disease, makes Catarrh a dreaded and disgusting trouble, but after the blood is more thoroughly steeped in tha impurity it becomes a general systemic disease, and develops into a serious disorder. Every- fibrous tissue becomes involved, the bronchial tubes are attacked, producing a chronic cough, the soft bones and cartilages of the hea^l are diseased and sometimes destroyed, the stomach is affected, resulting in dyspepsia, and gradually the entire system is upset. But Catarrh does still greater damage if allowed to remain in the system.. Frequently the kidneys and bladder are attacked, and the continual passage of impure blood through the lungs affects these vital members, and then Catarrh terminated in Consumption. Being a deep-seated blood, disease Catarrh must be treated constitutionally, for it is beyond the reach of local 01* surface treatment. Washes, sprays, inhalations, etc., are perhaps cleanly, and in some cases antiseptic, and for this reason desirable but such treatment does not reach the cause and can never cure the disease. blood so that ihe mucous linings are all supplied with healthy, life-giving properties instead of being saturated with foul catarrhal matter.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick building, New York, N. Y. TAFT OVERWHELMS OHIO. The overwhelming success or Sec retary Tuft at the primaries in Ohio 'insuring for him the support of every delegate in the Ohio state convention, is nothing short of a political sensation. The light made upon him by Senator Koraker and the old railroad machine has been so bitter that it has reached the courts and had he come thru with a majority only, the country would not •have been Surprised. Then, too, the claim was persisted in that he could not carry Ohio, even nominated, and tliis, of course, suggested a division of republican sentiment in the state which promised irrepressible faction alism, but Mr. Taft has gone direct to the people of Ohio in a slate-wide primary and has carried every county. Such a result must of nccvssiiy be portentious. It suggests to other states why some of the members of old time machine politics are unwilling to test their cases with the pec pie in a state-wide primary. "LIFE AND TIMES OF LESLIE M, SHAW." In a few days we expect to receive a biography of iHon. I.eslie M. •Shaw written by himself. There, lias been delay in putting this work on the mar ket, this incident to business changes by the author. So familiar to us here in Iowa is the history of Mr. Shaw we can almost review it in advance. Chapter first will be devoted to his birthplace and his school days. This will be "followed by an account of his working his way thru college. Then we can read how he made his lirst money by selling books and as a tree peddler. About chapter live the be ginning of his Denison life will be mentioned. AVe shall hear that fre quently during his career as real es tate dealer he sent interest money down east fAr farmers in Crawford* county unable to pay the same. Then will come an account of how the C. N. W. railroad discovered him and made him governor of Iowa. There will be much interest in the chapter explaining the Sheteliffe parole, and how thereby the vote for Gear was handled in Pottawattamie county. Equally Interesting will be the details of his official connection with the Gold Bond Investment companies of Des Moines, and the use that was made of his name. Of particular interest to the ladies will be the chapter devoted to the dis play made of his wife's dresses in Dav enport en route to Washington, where he was gO'ing to occupy the treasury appointment. There will be several dry chapters concerning his worlv as sec retary of the treasury. Then we shall be told of that conversation with the board of directors of the Carnegie Trust Company and the abandonment of a $36,000 salary Somewhere in the book will be ex plained just why Mr. Blythe could have had the author's appointment as sen ator instead of DoHiver had Mr. Blythe wished it so. This statement made by Mr. Shaw In t.he heat of a campaign will be further expanded with much in teresting detail. cide to intrust such Interests to Leslie M. Shaw* candidate for the presidency subject to the votes of the delegates in the next national republican conven tion. WEAKNESS OF OUR LAW PROCEDURE i-With l* ft#"' No one can read this interesting book and not be convinced that a man!

If they should de- but few exceptions the lawyers of this county are staunch supporters of our present system of law proced ure. They will not admit tint any im provement is possible, probable or nec essary. It will be interesting reading for them and others, to look over what follows from the London Chronicle, an article written by Mr. Sydney Brooks: "The limited authority of the trial judge in this country and the abuse of the pardoning power which is exer cised by the governors of t'le respec tive states—politicians electcd by pop ular vote and dependent upon public opinion,' are also causes wh eh lead to laxity. But above all Is the perversion of procedure' in American courts, of which he writes as follows: "Beyond everything else the break down of the American criminal law is to be found in t.he worship and per version of procedure. Just as Ameri cans have overelaborated the machin ery of politics until deiroeraev is bound and helpless In its toils, so they have magnified the technicalities of the law until justice has been thrown into the background and lost sight of. In a criminal case in the United States it is the judge on the bench, and not the prisoner in the dock, who is really on trial. The counsel on both sides polish up a thousand little points of .v'iV Ka: ~i4sr*i A lire ihem off at the judge, ^vho has to deride upon them offhand. If he falls into a sins'U) error, no matter how triv ial or how far removed from the ques tion of the guilt or innocence of the accused, the appellate court will order a new trial of the case almost auto matically. "The superior courts in America do not ask when an appeal is taken to them. Ms the judgment just?' but, 'Is there any error of whatever kind, how ever technical, however insignificant. 1n the proceedings of the trial court there is, the presumption of preju dice exists at once, and the whole case has to be tried over agai-n. Hence appeals and retrials multiply without end. llence justice and common sense are alike forgotten in 'the chase after au 'impossible perfection of forms and rules. Ilence the inula men ta 1 issue is neglected and the immaterial quib ble made a peg for hevvilderingly bril liant disquisitions. llence the crim inal law oT America is a refuse and a comfort to the lawyer and the crim inal, and a. menace and vexation to the rest of the community." CANDIDATES' ANNOUNCEMENTS. As could have been expected from the reading of the state-wide primary law Attorney General Hyers' con struction of the law as to publishing candidates' announcements did not go to the limit of absurdity as suggested in some reported accounts of his views. The law expressly provides that "noth ing herein shall be construed to pro hibit any person from making eon tracts in good faith for the announce ment of his candidacy in the news papers," and it was clearly Inte.ndcd that candidates should appeal directly to the voters at large in this manner. Direct appeal to the public is the main purpose of the law and the suggestion that a candidate would be limited to one single announcement in ond issue of a newspaper bordered on the ridiculous. What the attorney general had in mind was the "good faith" in which contracts were made. If the advertising of a candidacy was over done to such an extent as to constitute a bribe, as .sometimes has been done by public service corporations, he held that the primary law would forbid It otherwise a candidate was expected to announce and to advertise his candi dacy in the public prints, in this way was good government best to be served. Topics of the Times The Maryland legislature is In ses sion and the Baltimoie Sun demands in the interest of popularity tor the democratic party that hat the peo ple want is the redemption of the pledge to enact a primary election law for the whole state, which will put the senatorial and other primaries under the protection of the law the redemp tion of the pledge for a corrupt prac tices law that will prevent the barter and traffic in votes as far as a law can prevent it, the} want the public highways of the state improved, and they want the oyster culture law strengthened." That was a cruel blow dealt to Lafe Young when Charlie Miller took the democratic committee away fiom Des M-oines because of the treatment he had received at the hands of the Des Moines newspapers, for didn't Lafe write that famous speech foi him de livered in the legislature? "Jim" been a The Washington Post, by no means an anti-Taft newspaper, says emphat icallv that the Taft boom is on the wane. It declares the held will be against Taft. and that on the fourth ballot the held will combine and nom inate Governor .Charles P. Huglieb of Xew York for president. "While I was in California this win ter I heard a good deal of talk about Luther Burbank's efforts to locate the origin of our common corn. Some say the great plant, grafter is trying to produce a cobless corn. This is undoubtedly his ultimate aim," said a returning tourist, "but just now he is trying to find out where our corn plant comes from. It appears that the orig inal of corn has never been found. Mr. Burbank thinks it comes from an American annual grass, possibly some thing like 'teosinte.' a similar plant found In Central America. It would not affect our cob pipe industry ser iously if Mr. Burbank should elect to omit the erring cob. because it is well known that the cob pipes of today never saw either a corn crib or a corn field They are made ot wood, or com position, as a rule." Trustees of the Marshall Field estate and the countv attorney have agreed on a settlement of $1,000,000 in full satisfaction of the claims of the coun ty concerning buck taxes on a list of nnassessed securities scheduled in the probate court after the death of Mar shall Field in January, 1906. The set tlement ends a suit for $1,730,000 hied bv the countv attorney in the superior court in May, 1H07. Marshall Field was often referred to in the newspa pers as an example of the honest man pleading and-practise and-evidence a.nd Repaid-more taxes on personal prop-. It liberates a man's conscience to that erty than any other man in Chicago. The unlisted securities were withheld because they were not in the .state of Illinois and were of extra-state cor porations. For this reason it \va.s held by legal advisers that tliey were not taxable in Illinois. Money accumulates in the New York banks, the small demand in speculative channels holding call rales at per cent or less, and time loans can be secured at per cent for twelve months.

The primary law has to do with the nominating of candidates only, wit-nn each political party. This makes it exceedingly commendible, because it places the nomination of candidates in the hands of the vdters of a political party, instead of being nominated by a packed caucus as under the old sys tem. Often two factions are found within the same political party. For instance, standpatter and progressive anti and pro-liquor. Under the primary they contest as to the control of the party. One wins and the other loses, if the law contemplated, which it does not, holding the liquor element of a party to support at the polls candidates nom inated to destroy the liquor business, it vvoukl get left, and the same with any other faction. The Australian ballot made secret with the voter alone in the booth, was adopted to free him from nominating influences. The primary having to do with nom inations onlv, the voter is left free to affiliate with anv party he choses and thereby becomes s. member of that po litical party, until such time as he changes legally as provided in the pri mary law. An independent voter can belong to any party and then vote as he pleases, since one becomes a member ot a po litical party by his act at the primary and not at the election. Heretofore a. man has been considered a member of the political party lie voted with at the election, but the primary act has changed all that, because it particu larly defines what constitutes a mem ber of a partv, it being his affiliation at the primary. who paid taxes on all his possessions. candidates he dM not help nominate. The legislature no doubt In making the law, sought to free the voter as much as possible from party influences at the polls. Knowing well the influ ence of strong party ties upon the vot er, it shaped this act so as to allow a man to remain In lus own party in the act of placing nominees in the field and then left him free from being rid den out of his favored party, because he did not vote for the objectionable iy-': ,'A Moines Capital is now ar il "young man's chance, 1 TinTC5~%?iwliltot, ^HarslTciIIttrxmr.

Morrill of Maine was making his first run for congress, a. henchman of his opponent, met an old minister of that section slowly jogging along the road on his old horse and hailed him with: "Who are vou goiry? to vote for?" "Well," said the old man, "I thought I should give Anson a vote. Anson has gmd timber in hun I believe." "O. but I cion't see how you can vote for him. Don't you know he is a Uni versalist? He doe«n',t believe in a hell." With a quiet twinkle In his eve the old man said: "We'll send him to Washington.

While on the one hand approving in express terms the president's policies of strict law enforcement and tho en actment of constraining and preventive legislation, Mr. Shnw on the other hand declared: "I can but believe the time has come to give primary consideration to the restoration of industrial and business activity." He told his audience that there was in the country one class with a proneness to too indiscriminate praise and another with a proneness to Indiscriminate condemnation of the president's policies, and he suggest ed that a middle or conservative courx: might better be adopted. Secretary Shaw declared It his belief that the at tention of the country should be now given to the industrial situation, of which he made rather a gloomy sort of picture. Mr. Shaw's chief disoussion had to do with this problem of the future, rather than those of the past. He took up, of course, the past in a prelimin ary way. He pointed out how problem after problem had been solved satis factorily by the American people, and drew from it hope for .the future. When the question of the preservation of the Union was uppermost, the times gave to the nation Abraham Lincoln, who, Mr. Shaw said, "of all men then living, and of ail men who had ever lived, was the best equipped as well as the most faithful leader of his people." "Later," continued Mr. Shaw, "the greenback issue arqse, and again there were lead ers fit to meet the problem." Subsequently -the question of free and unlimited coinage of silver became dominant, and again the people were most fortunate, said Mr. Shaw, In having as their chief executive a man who ever listened to popular clamor, who seldom seemed to care for popular sentiment, and who rarely sought popular ap plause, and who s.t the cost of being forsaken by his own party, and quite generally condemned by the opposi tion, stood like a rock, and prevented the ruin which the people would have unconsciously wrought upon them selves. He concluded his tribute to Grover Cleveland by saying, "I have ever considered Grover Cleveland a great statesman, tout he was and Is a great patriot, a man with abiding convictions, and fearless in his ad herence thereto." Likewise, pointed out Mr. Shaw, the crisis of 1896 met with Its successful solution thru the election and the in fluence of William McKinley. Then MV. Shaw took up Theodore Roosevelt( praisdng .him fully, but at the same time homing up the question mark as to the advisability of contin uing along the lines the president has recently mapped out. Mr. Shaw on this point said: "When Theodore Roosevelt took tho oath of office, ho announced that he would adhere to and follow out the policies of .his predecessor. Fortunately, these policies were 4n full force and did not need to be strengthened. There fore, within forty-eight hours, to his lasting credit be It said, the new pres ident was inaugurating policies of his own. "Universal prosperity and the sud den acquisition of wealth had wrought sad havoc with business .morals. Love dft. power, whetted by indulgence, had red irresistibly to financial methods in some Instances most reprehensible. The present administration has been most admirably fitted to the times. Notice has been served, and service has been accepted, that in this country the peo ple are supreme, that the revised stat utes of the United States constitute a most wholesome volume which can wisely be kept on the table around which directors regularly assemble and that In the employment of counsel cor porations do well to select men who will see to it that the operations of their clients arc kept well within the limitations of the law, lest in their efforts to evade 4ts spirit, they incur the penalties mentioned in the letter. "In our evolution, this .has been one of the questions that had to be determ ined, and in my judgment no president has met the ta.c that .has come nat urally to his hands with greater cour age or more signal success than has Theodore Roosevelt. Fortunate will we be if we drift not away from the high Try Preventics, At My Risk With Book on Colds. fust to prove merit—to show you how quickly Preventics can and will check colds or the Grippe—I will mail you free on request these samplers and my book. Simply address Dr. vShoop, Racine, Wis. Preventics are thoroughly harmless little Candy Cold Cure tablets. No Quinine, no laxative, nothing sickening whatever. To check early Colds or Grippe with "Pre ventics" means sure defeat for Pneumonia. To stop a cold with Preventics is surely safer than to let it run and be obliged to cure it afterward. Preventics will however reach a deeply seated cold. But taken early—at the sneeze stage—they break or head off these early colds. That is surely better—that is why they are named "Pre ventics." Promptness however is all-im portant. Promptness in the use of Pre ventics may save half your usual sickness. Feverishness, night or day, with child or adult, suggests the need of Preventics.

Without relleeting upon ourselves, I think we can ulmit a. proneness to in discriminate praise and Indiscriminate condemnation. We do not ordinarily differentiate. We either approve ev erything which a public servant does, or condemn everything. IMscrimInating praise and criticism are alike unusual. There are in the country, therefore, two classes of people, one who ap proves every act and every trend of the present administration, and Insist that the same shall be continued In definitely and forever, and another, if possible, still more unwise, who con demn everything, and who insist that we should undo at the earliest possi ble moment whatever has been accom plished. I wonder if it be not possi ble to defend the wisdom of what has been accomplished, and without re traction or relaxations, give our at tention to th6 solution of tho next problem. Over three hundred thousand freight cars standing empty on the tracks, eight thousand locomotives white lead ed and out of commission, one-fourth of the population of several large clt ites idle, und for the first time under republican administration, free soup houses in every industrial center the price of f.arm produce naturally and materially depreciated, furnish an ob ject lesson which ought to produce a measure of sohermindedness on tho part of the American people. So, while I approve of the strict enforcement of the laws, and the enactment of con straining and preventive legislation, I can but believe the time has come to give primary consideration to the res toration of industrial and business ac tivity.

I11 011 -V, less than throe hours a needle that Mary Barrell ac cidentally swallowed had pierced the tissues and muscles of the windpipe, and when she was admitted to the Pennsylvania hospital it was .sticking thru the skin on her chest. The movement of the needle was not accelerated by any outside influence, altho the child could feel It moving and suffered great pain. The surgeons at the hospital were prepared to operate upon her when one of them noticed a swelling her chest. A second glance disclosed the needle, and he pulled it out with his flnfeers. It is believed the girl will suffer no serious results. She is 6 years of age and lives at 742 Carpenter street To Protect Boys From Cigarets. London. If a bill which passed it-s first reading in the house of commons today becomes a law, juvenile de votees of the cigaret will have a hard time in indulging their appetite. The act is a government measure which amends the existing laws for tho protection of children. It prohibits smoking under the age of 16, provides penalties for any one younger than 16 years old found smoking in the street or any other public place, and makes the sale of cigarets to persons tinder 16 years of age a punishable offense. Among other features the bill es tablishes juvenile courts thruout the country and calls for special places of detention for children, instead of send ing them to the ordinary prisons. Mediums Hunt for Ghost. Columbus, Ohio. If the husband of Mrs. Hobart Page, late of London, England, is in the earth b^low, the heavens above, or the waters under the earth, he might as well make up his mind to communicate with Mrs. Ho bart Page. It was reported Page was accident ally killed in Springfield, Ohio, twen ty years ago His wife told all of the mediums in the old country to get him by spiritualistic wireless, but— Nothing doing. Now Mrs. Page has asked all of the American mediums, thrij the Spiritual istic association of Washington, D. C., to "get on the job" and see if they can locate his spirit in the circumambient ether waves. Says His Wife Spanks Him. Denver, Col.—The wife who spanks lier husband came to light with the filing of the divorce suit of Maok Gardner against fyTIIlie Gardner in tho district court. After reciting that by reason of her superior strength Mrs. Gardner had him badly frightened for fear of what she might'do, Gardner states that in the presence of their child the defendant spanked h'im. Attempted strangling, bold handling of guns, and other allegations made the complaint read like a novel, but with tlie woman in the role of a mem ber of the stronger sex. The Gard ners married in April, 1906, and have one child. Goes Courting iri Hearse. Pittsburg, Pa.—A Duquesne youth who called on his sweetheart in Grant avenue, McKeesport, last night, almost caused a riot, not because he called on his sweetheart, but because he made the trip in an undertaker's dead w£g on, which he left standing in front of his sweetheart's house while he was Inside. Patrick Flaherty, who lives in Grant avenue, near tho home of the young man's sweetheart, is known as a brave man. He served in the regular army and fought bravely during the Phil ippine campaign. Since then he passed a. stringent examination, and now wears the uniform of the state con stabulary. When he returned to his home last night he experienced the first real fright of his life-. The dead wagon stood in front of his door. Believing that some member cf his family had died during his absence, Flaherty rushed into the house. There he was met not by a scene of sorrow and grief, but by a crowd of angry neighbors, who were trying to learn why the undertaker's wagon had stood in the street so long when no one was dead in the neighborhood. The state policeman got busy. He soon found the driver of the wagon, who ex plained that he had come from Du quesne to visit his sweetheart. The wagon belonged to an undertaker by whom he "was employed. The youth who went a-courting In a dead wagon was scored by Flaherty and his angry neighbors. He promised that the next time he calls on his sweetheart he will walk if he can't borrow a buggy or an automobile. xtmrnBttumum CHAPTER TUN Of course the first thing that pre sented itself to Mortimer's considern tlou was the engineering of Plunk's matrimonial ambitions. Clearly tin man had not changed. He was al ways at Sylvia's heels. He with her in public. He went to the Relwether house great deal. No pos sible doubt but (hat he was its lnfat uated as ever. And Qunrrlor was go lng to marry her next Novemlwr—that is. if he, Mortimer, chose to keep si lent about a certain midnight episode at Shotover. Several times he called up Quarrier on the phone and ainde appointments to lunch with him. but these meeting never resulted in anything excep. luncheons which Mortimer ipald for. and mutters were becoming desperate So one day. after having lunched too freely, he sat down aud wrote Planii the following note: My Dear Beverly—You will remembar that 1 once promised you my aid In se curing what, to you, is the dearest objeel of your existence. 1 have thought, I have pondered, I have given tho matter deep and, 1 may add without irreverence, pray erful consideration, knowing that the life's happiness of my closest friend de pended on my Judgment and wisdom and intelligence to secure for him the oppor tunity to crown his life's work by the ac quisition of tho brightest jewel In the dia dem "f old Manhattan.

So he sopped his apple and swallowed It and picked up his pen agstlu, chary of overdoing It: All I say to you is. be ready! The time Is close at hand when you may boldly make your avowal. But be ready! All depends upon the psychological moment. An Instant too Mm, in Instant too late, and you are lost. And she is lost forever. Remember! Be faithful trust in me, and wait. And the Instant I say, "Speak!" pour out your soul, my dear friend, and be certain you are not pouring it out in vain. L. M.

Quar rier was alone in a window corner, drinking vlchy and milk and glancing over the afternoon papers. lie saw Mortimer and invited him to join him, and Mortimer, being thirsty, took champagne. "I've been trying a new coach," said Quarrier In his colorless and rnttaer agreeable voice, and he went on lei surely explaining the points-of the new mall coach which had been built in Paris after pluns of his own, while Mortimer gulped glass after glass of chilled wine, which seemed only to make him thirstier. Meantime he lis tened, really Interested, except that his fleshy head was too full of alcohol and his own project to contain addi tional statistics concerning coaching. Besides, Quarrier, who had never been overcordial to him, was more so now enough for Mortimer to venture on a few tentative suggestions of a finan cial nature, and though, as usual, Quarrier was not responsive, he did not, as usual, get up and go away. vague hope stirred Mortimer that be beyond his persuasive tongue to make this chilly, reticent young man into a friend some day—A helpful friend. Once or twice he thought Quarrier looked at him rather strangely, but he would show Quar rier that he was a frieud—A good, stanch friend—and that Quarrier had long, long undervalued him. Waves of sentiment spread through and through him. His affection for Quar rier dampened his eyes, and still he blabbed on and on, gaziug with brim ming eyes upon Quarrier, who sat back silent and attentive as Mortimer circled and blundered nearer and near er to the crucial point of his destination. Midway in one of his linguistic el lipses Quarrier leaned forward and caught his arm in a grip of steel. An other man had entered the room. Mortimer, made partly conscious by the PQIN of Quarrier's viselike grip, was sober enough to recognize the im propriety of his continuing aloud the veiled story he had beeu constructing with what he supposed to be a cun ning as matchless as it was impenetra ble. Later he found himself upstairs in a private cardroom. facing Quarrier across a table, and still talking and quenching his increasing thirst. He knew now what he was telling Quar rier. He was unveiling the parable. He was stripping metaphor from a carefully precise story. lie used Si ward's name presently: presently he used Sylvia's nauje. A uiojueul later 11 ROBERT W.

Then his Jaw began to harden and his under lip protruded and he folded his great bands, resting them In front of him on the edge of the desk, brooding there, with eyes narrowing like a sleepy giant at prayer. When Leila entered in her evening wraps she found him there, so im mersed In reverie that he failed to hear her, and she stood a moment at the doorway, smiling to herself, think ing how pleasant it was to come down ready for the evening and find him there, as though he belonged where he sat and was part of the familiar environment. Recently she had grown younger In a smooth skinned, full lipped way—so much younger that it was spoken of. "Beverly," she said, "I am ready." Plank stood up, dazed from his rev erie, and walked toward her. His white tie had become disarranged.

But: he made no answer, and they drove away to the Belwether house, a rather wide, old Btyle mansion and a reception ropra flanked the marble tiled hall. Behind these the dining room ran the width of the rear. There were half a dozen people there lounging informally between the living room on the second floor and Sylvia's apartments In the rear-the residue from a luncheon nnd bridge party giv en that afternoon by Sylvia to a score or SO of card-mad women. A few of these she bad asked to remain for an Informal dinner and a desperate game later—the sort of peoplo she knew well enough to lose to heavily or win from without remorse—Grace Ferrall, Ma rion Page. Agatha Caithness. Trusting to tile telephone that morning, she had secured the Mortimers and Quarrier, failing three men, and now the party, WLT'ti Plank as Mortimer's substitute, was complete, all thorough gamesters —BCX mattering nothing In the prepa ration.

Leila, greeted gayly from the bou doir, went In. Plank entered the libra ry, was mauled effusively'by the ma jor, returned Quarrier's firm hand shake and sat down with an Inquiring smile.

Hugh Campbell, Jr., has had croup time and again, but his parents feared no serious results when they had Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house. It always relieved him promptly. When he had tonsilitis we found that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was the best medicine we could give l^im, and I had a chest full of different medicines. Chamberlain's was the one of my choice because it always cured and because it was pleasant and safe to take. Mrs. Hugh Campbell, this boy's mother says, "I wish every mother of young children that have croup was as familiar with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as I am. The first cause of my pinning my faith to this wonderful cough med icine was on account of being informed that it contained no opium or other narcotic, and that it was as safe to give to a child as to an adult."

Since Jan uary 1 Chicago has received nearly a million and a- half hogs, or S'JO.OOO more than last year, while shippers have increased their purchu^cs by 45, 000. Indications are that Chicago will re ceive more than 800,000 hogs in Kobru ary. Tiie fact that provisions held so well in the face of such a run of hogs is inviting comment. It is said that western packers, as well as some of the big local interests, were covering shorts, and to this was attributed the s'eadiness in values, despite the break in hogs and the heaviness in grains. Tho talent said that over 3.000,000 pounds of May rihs were bought at $6.50, all being taken on resting orders, which checked the decline.

Don Marino Torloniu, of the ducal family of Horlonia of Rome, said at a dinner party in New York, that a certain American millionaire remind ed him of the famous 'Roman miser, Arpagnio. "Let me," said a tall young man, smiling, "show you what a tremendous, miser Arpagnio was. "As he lay dying in his cold. dark, bare palace of stone on the Corso, his one thought was that, since he was too ill to eat, a full lira a day was bein saved on the food bill. "The doctor was announced. The doctor, after feeling Arpagnio's pulse, looked grave. "Well," said the miser, "how much longer have I to live?' 'Only half an hour,' was the re ply. "Arpagnio glanced at the clock. Sev "You scoundrel." he cried. 'Why do you let things run on to the last minute like this! Do you want to ruin me! Send for the barber at once.' "The barber arrived post haste. "'You charge, safd Arpagnio, 'twen ty centesimi for shaving?' 'Yes. signer.' '"And for shaving a corpse, five lira?' 'Yes.' "Arpagnio glaced at the clock. Sev en of the thirty minutes left him still remained. 'Then shave me quickly,' he gasp ed. "As the operation finished, Arpagnio died. But with his last breath, .smiling happily, he murmured while the bar ber dried his cold, pale cheeks: "'How splendid. Pour lira and eighty centesimi saved.'"

"What did you talk to Colonel Snell about when you came to see him when he was ill?" was asked. "I talked to him about his soul's in terest." the minister replied. "What would he do?" was Inquired. "Oh, he would show great penitence when he was staring death in the face and would pray and hope to be for given. If he were better the next morning he would have no more use for me, and would start swearing and cursing. His mir.d was debased.

"I did ^iot know who they would be, but 1 knew they would al! get a whack at the colonel's fortune." C. W. McCord told of Snell's boast, concerning his lavish spending of mon oy on women.

Farmers, lawyers, business inrn nnd one minister took the stand during the proceedings, and nil of them swore that they believed that the aged millionaire a. was Insane, one witness, a former street car conductor, testified that when his car contained feminine pas sengers who were pretty that the col onel would Insist in paying their fares, much to tile embarrassment of the re-j clpii'tits, who dhi noi know Colonel Suell. "His eyes would shine like dia monds when lie would look at these pretty girls," testilied K. Sylvester, tho ex-conductor. Phillip A. Karr, superintendent of the McLean County poor farm, swore that he believed ('olonel Sncll was In-I sane, and created considerable amuse-j inent when under cross examination' by admitting that he thought that ev ery person was slightly insane on some subjects. "Do you think that you are insane?" Attorney Hurry smilingly asked the witness. Karr squirmed in his chair and rfls chin dropped, but stuck to his guns manfully. "Yes," he replied, "on certain ques tions." 1 A fruit dealer testified that Colonel Snell would come to his stand every morning, eat the largest strawberries out of the box and select a few other choice fruits, and when asked for pay ment threatened to stick a knife into the proprietor. County Judge Fred C. Hill testified that Colonel Snell once: spat in his face, when he mentioned his son Dick's name to him. and others testified that when they spoke Dick's: name in the colonel's hearing he would "claw at them, prance around for hours and sometimes run around the streets till he fell from exhaustion." Tho famous letters vowing love'for the aged ^nillionaire which were writ ten to him by Ma/belle Snell McNam ara, his grandnieve, and Mrs. Lura Hamilton, wife of Rev. E. A.

Chicago, Fob. 112. —Fearing that they arc violating the new commerce law, the western railroads are trying to dis continue the privilege which certain classes of shippers have of stopping their freight while in transit. At a conference of traffic officials of west ern roads yesterday it was decided that It is desirable to secure uniform ac tion In cutting off Uiis privilege. A second conference will be held with­ in ten days, when it is expected a change will be made. The rallro.ids were aroused to action by an application to the railroad com mission of he state of Wisconsin by an oil firm of Madison, asking for an order requiring the railroads to grant the oil shippers the privilege of stop ping his shipments whenever In? pleases and unloading a part. it' granted it will permit the shipper to do a jobbing business on car load rates and thus to compete with the Standard oil Company. 1 What frightens the railroads is the danger of a decision by the commis sion that such a privilege must be granted, because the railroads have granted the privilege to other shippers. It now is conceded that the practice permit.-: the packers and other favored shippers to job on car load rates, which are paid to the furthest poipl of destination. The Interstate commerce commis sion yesterday Informed the operating vice presidents of the various roads that It coulci not suspend the operation of the nine-hour law until such time as the law could lie amended so as to meet the desires of all concerned. The law relates to the employment of train tower men. The commission holds it has no authority to suspend the law except in such cases where hearing has been held and good cause shown for the extension. The law takes effect March 4.
