Special to Tlmes-r.epuhllcan. Des .Moines, Feb. —Kvidence of the fact that the campaign of two years ago is to be repeated, if that is pos sible, by the factionalists of the re publican party, has been given the past few days by publication in their organ in Des .Moines of ail article writ ten iu the office but given a Fort Mad ison date line, in which an effort is made to drag the state board of con trol into disrepute and to accuse it of partisanship. The substance of it is thaL .at Fort Madison it is believed that tho appointment of a new warden for the penitentiary to succeed N. N. Jones on his retirement "was for no other purpose than that of politics." It was asserted that "Warden Jones is a red hot Allison man" and that the new man is reported to have been an active Cummins worker. Hence the inference that the state board of con trol wanted to "make room for some one more helpful to the administra tion."' No expression of this kind has ever coi^e or ever will come from Warden Jones. The fact is that Warden Jones is not a "red hot Allison man" but on the contrary is a supporter of Gov ernor Cummins for the senate and has so expressed himself recently. Orig inally he was elected to the warden ship by the old school of politicians in the state. Since the board of control has taken charge there lias been no politics in or about any state institu- 1 strucled to vote for the nomination ot Taft as presidential candidate. 1 ,_ '"*"ior senator this year. Taylor Wins in Twelfth. Columbus, O.. Feb. 15.—The republi cans of the Twelfth eongressional^dis- tion. But Warden Jones has stated that he would vote and work for Cummins On the other hand there is not the least suspicion that the board of con- jn mlnd Umt ,)y rT"w Vj v"**V the s( .Ioc_ tion of the West Union man a political machine would be built up or that it would have any effect on politics. The appointment was made upon the rec ommendation of men of all parties. One of the strongest indorsements of Pro fessor Sanders Is that of B. Murphy, of Vinton, and another very fine in dorsement was that of Judge Carr, attorney for the Great Western. But the fact that those who would destroy the confidence of the republi cans in their governor are stooping to the baldest misrepresentations and statements exactly contrary to the truth, and are willing to cast discredit upon the state board of control in its management of the state institutions, shows what, is ahead. As a matter of fact it will not be claimed by anyone well informed that the board of con trol is possessed of any leanings to ward the governor of Iowa. A staunch Taft advocate living in •the northern part of the state, declared here today his conviction that the adoption of a Taft resolution by the standpatters on Thursday would prove a boomerang for the Taft movement He insisted that it would give the im pression that Taft and his associates had tied up with the standpatters in Iowa and all over the country and while making pretense of being pro gressive in order to get votes are in fact ready to become the staunchest kind of standpatters after the conven tions are held. W. O. Payne, of Nevada, who attend ed the conference, is quoted as having stated privately that in his opinion and after a careful canvass among those attending there were only five present at the standpat conference who are really and honestly for Taft. He stated his belief that with the great majority of those who voted for the Taft reso lution it was a band wagon situation and they will not be for Taft a short time hence.. The Taft people who are taking care of Iowa are taking a great deal more interest in what the conventions do in northern Iowa. They anticipate that in the end they must rely on the pro gressives for their support in Iowa and all the western states, and they declare that In no sense has Taft tied up with the standpatters here or else where. Mr. Rankin, the famous "moulder orator," who makes a specialty of the state marshal bill, is developing mus cle and shortening his hair for the next fray with the legislature. He drifted into the city the other day at the time of the big standpat conference, look ing as fresh as a youth and as strong as a Roosevelt, lie has done temper ance talking in 240 towns and cities of the state, his last stunt at LeMars. where he says there are more saloons per inhabitant than any place in the state. "I have a new specialty now." he said. "I am putting on muscle. I am out to challenge any man in the state at a game of pitching horse shoes. I have a set which 1 carry in my grip, two pounds and a half apiece, and will go against any pitcher in tho state at forty-five yards It's tine ex ercise. I've been at it the past sum I mer and fall, and getting lots of out- door exercise, and I'm better prepared for pitching horse shoes or temperance lecturing than ever before." The members of the slate board oi railroad commissioners are delighted with the outcome of tIn* movement to have e.-taWished under the Iowa law a commodity rale sjstem. When they put in a. trial commodity rate on four tilings some months ago. there was doubt as to bow il would work on*. I Xow the railroads have made a pro posal. anfl it has been adopted, to per fect the commodity rale system, by taking the shortest haul across the Male as the basis for the between river points and fitting the entile sys tem to this. The board has accepted this plan and indicated that at an ear ly date other commodities will be placed under the commodity rate plan. This is the first time il lias ever been attempted, and it marks a radical I departure in methods with the Iowa Irate question. The Iowa shippers and the commission believe it will be great ly helpful to loua people and glV them an advantage in competition. KILLED BY STREET CAR. Mrs. Solomon Grund Ground to Piec«» at Des Moines. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Feb. 15.—East Seventh street and Grand avenue was the scene of a terrible accident last night.

STATE WARD KILLED L.uvern Whitter, of the State Indus trial School, Crushed to Death by Heavy Coal Wagon. Hpeclai Times-ReDubllcan. Kldora, Feb. 15.—Luvern "Whitter, an inmate of the Iowa Industrial School for Boys, was accidentally killed here this forenoon while engaged In haul ing coal from the Iowa Central yards to the state school.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is tho ifi'sl and most efficient disinfectant and pnriHer in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose. Chal'coal is a remedy that the more You take of it the better it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities always •present in the stomach and Intestines and car ries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on ions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Im proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs* the Injurions gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: it disinfects the :nouth and throat front the. poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best .charcdal and the most for the money (is in Stuart's Charcoal T,ozenges: they ,ire composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal ,und other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting loz enges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these loaenges will soon (ell in a much improved condi tion of the general health, bettor com plexion, sweeter breath and purer .blood, and the beauty of" it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: "I ad vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all Ipatierits suffering from gas in stomach and bowls, and to clear the complexion jand purify the breath, mouth and throat I also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug" stores, and altho in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better Charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Loisenges than in any of the ordinary chafcoal tablets."

Special to TTmes-Ttepubliean. Fort Podge, Feb. I."..— 11' the recep­ tion given the introductory remarks of Senator P. J. Mel'umber are to be tak en as a forecast of the political situa tion in this section of the stale, Gov ernor Cummins will have almost tlie solid support of his party ill his can didacy for the senalorship. Senator McCumber has represented his people of North Dakota with credit, but be failed to correctly size up the political situation in this section and the op ening remarks of his speech 011 "Fed­ eral Inspection of lira In" before the Farmer Grain Dealers' association, brought him only jeers and made votes for Governor Cummins. "It is a most agreeable pleasure." said the senator, "to meet with this association of representative grain dealers, to discuss a great proposition involving the most important industry and affecting the welfare of the great est number of people in the United States. "It is also a privilege to visit the city of one of our most noted orators, who coitibines with that attainment the high qualities of advanced and constructive statesmanship. Senator J. P. Dolliver." There were perhaps a dozen of the delegates In attendance who brought their hands together In applause at the mention of the name of Senator Dolliver, but the majority of the thousand people present In the armory sat in mute silence, Altho an gered at the political drift of the ad dress. "And it is no less a privilege." continued the senator, "to visit the state of that 'Grand Old Man' who, for so many years as chairman of the com mittee on appropriations, has, second in influence only to the president of the United States, guided the destiny of the country. While in most instances the "state may with a degree of pro priety lay claim to its representative in the national council, the whole coun try claims Senator Allison." Again the lone ciozen of Allison'supporters made a slight demonstration, and recogniz ing be had burned his linger in his ef forts to pay a tribute to his colleague, the North Dakota .senator made an ef fort to play to the galleries, only to end In a miserable failure. "His position," he continued, "the most delicate, as well as the most im portant one in the senate, has been filled with a degree of broadminded statesmanship, skill and diplomacy, combined with a courage and fierce ness that has challenged the admira tion of the country. The members of the senate have learned to look to him for information and guidance 011 all great questions of national importance, and to rely with confidence upon his judgment. Tho his advancing years may have somewhat bowed the rugged frame, they have not 'in the slightest degree abated the vigor of mind, the force of character, or the old time abil ity to bear successfully every burden which-official duty Imposes upon him." I know you will pardon my digression from my theme of today to congratu late, you upon your able representative in congress." Again the few Allison supporters present made an effort at a demon stration. but It was drowned by shouts from all parts of the building, of "What's the matter with Cummins? He's all right," while there went up a' burst of cheers at the mention of the name of the chief executive that fair ly raised the roof of the armory. Jtecognizing his auditors were not in sympathy with his efforts to turn a grain dealers' convention into a stand pat meeting, the North Dakota senator, made an effort at apology by replying to the cheers and burst of applause: "Governor Cummins needs no word from me to anyone who is acquainted with him, and you all know him," and forthwith launched Into his address appropriate of the occasion and which was handled in a masterly manner.

Stock Company's Performances at Hampton Fail to Please. Special to Times-Republican. 1 Hampton, Feb. 35.—Scenes 'that would have done credit to the now fa mous Cherry Sister performance of a few years ago, were enacted at Hamp ton this week when the audience took occasion to butt into the performance with lemons,' cabbage and sundry specimens of the vegetable market. A stock company had been playing a three nights' engagement there, and two preceding performances had evi dently been sized up by the critical au diences as about "the limit." The third evening, it is evident the audience re solved to hand the actors something, and a general free-for-all resulted. While the performances may have de served criticism, the audience exceed ed the propriety of the time, the place and the play, by overstepping the eti quette that is supposed to exist be tween the people on both sides of tho footlights. HAWKEYES WIN GAME. Defeat Illinois Team in Basket Ball at Iowa City. Special to Times-Repuoilcan. Iowa City, Feb. 15.—The Illinois and Iowa basket ball teams met 011 the Iowa floor last night.

Iowa led in team work and in accu rate basket throwing. The Hawkeye team was practically a new team, since a complete "reorganization was made necessary in the last few days on account of the loss of Morrissey and Ramsell, who are out for the rest of the season on account of back work. Burkheimer and Perrine did the best work for Iowa, while Dadant and Brundage were the stars on the Illi nois side. The final score was 46 to 30. CHASE TO LEAVE IOWA.

Wi tnesses as to Deceased's Habits Flatly Contradict Each Other. Special to Times-Republican. Mason City, Feb. 15.—The sensation today in the Day will contest case, was the testimony of witnesses relative to the habits of C. H. Day. C. P. Ship ley, an old resident who leased one of the Day buildings which he has oc cupied for years, testified that C. 11. Day consorted with lady roomers in the building, was drunk a large portion of his time, and never came into his office unless h? was in a stuper, or sort of a comatose condition. Harry Olson, a former employe of Mr. Ship ley, was called to the stand and testi fied exactly opposite to the contest ant's witness, saying there were no women in the building, that Day was always bright and active, and that li^ always came in the shop for the pur pose of reading the papers. Two prominent physicians swore ex actly contrary to each other. The con testant's witness, Dr. Birnev, said the deceased had valvular heart trouble and kidney trouble from which he died, and that no riorphine was ever ad ministered to him because of the dan gerous action upon the patient's heart. On the contraary Dr. C. H. Smith tes tified that the patient died of tubercu losis and that morphine was given by him. In the presence of Dr. Birney. The case is attracting a good deal of at tention as it deals with events long since transpired. BALES CASE AGAIN. First Correspondent Insists That Evi dence Was Given Substantially Cor rect. Special to Times-Republican. Eldora, Feb. 15.—In the Times-Re publican of February 8, there appeared under an Fldora date line, a report of the Bales-Wisner guardianship case which had been tried in the district court here the day before. In the is sue of the 11 tli inst., you published a reply to this report under the heading, "In a Different Light." which article denies the accuracy of the first report and evidently intends to mislead the public. The only evidence omitted on the Bales side of the case in the first report was the testimony of C. E. Al brook, one of the principals in the land transfers and one of the attorneys in the case. He testified that he and Mr. Ryan bought the 320 acres in question not of C. E. Dinehart and F. D. Week, as the deeds and records show, but of .G. Marshman, who had a oontract on the same, which could not be closed until June 1, 1902, (the deed was in May), and that .the land was deeded to them by Dinehart and Week "as a matter of convenience" and that he and Ryan paid Dinehart Week the $25.50 an acre which Marshman had agreed to pay and p.^jd Marshman the difference in cashi^e tween his contract price and what they had agreed to pay him, or $32.25 an acre. There was no evidence introduced to support this testimony. Judge Wade, attorney for the plaintiff, asked "Where is this man Marshman?" and received the answer, "That's what we would like to know." Marshman had had a case of his own in court the week be fore and coul 3 easily have been\ sum moned as a witness. Mr. Marshman yesterday told your correspondent that this testimony was a misrepresentation and created a false impression. Albrook testified that he and Ryan deeded the 240 acres to Diehl "to car ry out a contract between Diehl and Henry Hurd." Diehl testified that Ryan showed him the land, sold it to him and Albrook Ryan deeded it to him aitd that he never knew Hurd owned it. Mr. Hurd is dead. The writer of the second report also places great stress on 'the testimony of Burt I. Weld, president of the First National Bank of Slayton, Minn., but here again he attempts to deceive the public by misrepresenting. In the first report it was said that Weld admitted that the lajid could not be sold for $30 an acre. In the second report it is stated "The question put to Mr. "Weld was: 'In that conversation did you not say that this particular piece or tract of land could not lie disposed ot at this time?'" This has nothing to do Willi the question which was asked by Mr. Rogers 011 cross examination: "Did you not admit, to Mr. Robb that .he could not. sell this land for an acre?" He first answered "If I did. I don't remember it," and later, when the question was again urged, he said: "I may have done so, but I meant that I didn't know of a buyer," and this was taken by the lirst correspondent as a practical admission, for the reason that Mr. llobb's testimony brought out Die conditions under which the question •was asked. Mr. Robb, who is cashier of tin- liar din county State bank, of lOldora, went into the bank at .Slayton and, meeting Mr. Wold as a fellow banker, discussed conditions and land In general, and. calling attention to this piece of land, said: "What would you say, if 'I told you that land was sold to a ward in lOldora for an acre'.'" and Mr. Weld, with a smile, asked the significant question: "Who nut tin money'.'" Mr. Robb then fold Weld that he had suc ceeded Mr. Bales as guardian, and asked Weld if he could dispose of (he land at $30 an acre, and Weld an swered, "I don't believe you could." C. 10. Dlnehart, who is president of the State Bank of Slayton. president of the school board, and father of the present state treasurer of Minnesota, testified that lie anil' Mr. Week got a "big price" when they sold to Albrook Ryan at $25.50, and further testi fied that land "went down that same fall." This land was transferred to Bales' guardian tho following Janu ary. We now come to the excuse for the second report of this oase. "We make these statements because, If the evi dence as reported to you and published in yours of February 8th. Judge Lee must bo either idiotic, or corrupt." It Is to be regretted that the attorney for Mr. Rales lias preferred these charges against Judge Lee, for the statements of tho first report are substantially true. OTTOSEN MADE WAY STATION.

Tho ease in" the federal court has been ap pealed, but Judge Howe will not wait until this case is settled^ The case will now go to trial on its merits. This is considered a big victory for the Civic league, composed as it is of the leading business men df the city, who think the street car company should pay for the use of the streets. COMMODITY RATES FIXED. State Commission Provides Reduction On Long Distances. Des Moines, Feb. 15.—The state rail road commission, the freight commis sioners of many Iowa cities, represen tatives of the shippers' organizations, and freight agents of the railroads that do business in Iowa, held a conference yesterday on commodity rates and ad justed them, it is said, to the satisfac tion of all interests. Several weeks ago the commission promulgated commodity rates covering paper, brick, agricultural implements, wagons, furniture, and kindred articles of shipment. The Burlington railroad, which has the short line in Iowa, found that' It was suffering a discrimination in these rates and so alleged to the board In an application for a rehear ing, which was granted yesterday. When you discover that the use of coffee as a beverage is undermining your health. Many persons who suspect that palpitat ion of the heart with a "smothery" sensation is caused by coffee, don't seem to know how to break the fetters forged upon them by caff bine —the drug in coffee. They want a hot beverage for breakfast and may have "tried Postum" (weakly made by simply steeping it in hot water, or "letting it come to a boil") and did not relish it. No wonder! Boil Postum 15 minutes as per directions on pkg., add good cream and then try it. In 10 days you may safely expect a decided change for the better. Keep it up and you will discover Out of the rehearing came an ad justment which provides that there shall be a. flat commodity rate for the I distance between the length of the Burlington, which is 290, and the long est haul, which is said to be 380. with corresponding gradation to meet the former commodity rates for the other distances. Kanawha Items. Special to Times-Republican. Kanawha, Feb. 15.—B. F. Moffatt, traveling freight agent for the Iowa Central railway, was in town one day this week on business. Mrs. J. C.

We understand that some capitalists of Fort Dodge have bought the First State Bank building of Corwith, and will open it for business as soon as a charter can be secured. The bond company has paid to the receiver of the First State Bank of Corwith $10,000, the amount of the bond of J. H. Standring, the abscond ing cashier. The town council met Wednesday night as a board of health, and ap pointed Dr. A. L. Judd as health officer of the local board. Invitations are out announcing the marriage of M. L.

Thousands of women have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents "morning sickness,'' and other dis comforts of this period.

Mr. Carson had shown this money to a drayman, who had delivered a load of coal there the afternoon before.

Host conspicuously is this true as to Iowa's state-wide pri mary law. Already the charge has been made by men I'roir as high places as a cabinet position that under this law no mail could run for the nomina tion for governor of Iowa without spending $100,000. and yet the two men running are probably not worth that sum in personal possessions both together. Likewise as it applies 1o local can didacies. It has here.ofore been be lieved that as much as $3,000 has been spent by one mail in seeking a pri mary nomination in Marshall county under a voluntary locil primary sys tem, but already a prospective candi date has entered the lists for a nom ination for a county iffice solely be cause under the legalized primary of the new law he knows that a man can not spend his first year's salary run ning for the nominatio l. The "heelers" are cut out I under the new law, as he expressed it. As the new law w.irks In actual practice and as Its provisions become more thoroughly understood it will be learned that it lias been designed to compel all candidates to appeal to the intelligence of the vo.er. The manip ulation of Interested and often selfish leaders has been minimized. The mis representation and indirect sale of votes by the paid worker has been abolished. '.Che snap caucus and the caucus packed on a false representa tion of the real issue has been made a thing of thi? past. American man hood has been elevaUd to a position or command over the individual vote. The appeal !\r all nominations must be made to the intelligence of the voter and he will fo privately into an elec tion booth to express his choice, with out fear of icprisal or favor. THOSI TISSUi: BALLOTS. It has been four years since the famous primary in Des Moines at which Judge Prouty was defeated for the congressional nomination by Cap tain Hull. During the turmoil of that campaign a ballot of unusual form was used by the conmittee in charge which was called a tissue ballot and was charged up to. Judge Prouty by his opposition as being something corrupt. So long t.s he remained in private life Judge Prouty has said nothing about the matter, but since he has been campaigning in behalf of the cundidaey of Governor Cummins, against* Senator Allison, the opposition press has attacked him most bitterly because oi! the tissue ballot, wiLh In uendo and sneer, which charge him with corruption. At Mason City Mr. Prouty publicly defied any newspaper to make specific its charge against him as to the tissue ballot and he promised a law suit which would get at the facts. Xot one has accepted the chal lenge, so the Judg-i has prepared his own defense, and asks space in the Times-Republican for ils publication. His own statement follows: Feb. 12, 1908. I have borne with patience for four years the libelous charge published in the standpat papers of the state that I introduced a tissue ballot in ray cam paign against Captain Hull in 1904. Whenever I have spoken for Governor Cummins" and the progressive cause, I have been assaulted by these papers •with this charge. But I have kept still, as I didn't want to inject any thing personal to myself into these campaigns. But his matter has be come intolerable. I never had any thing tb do directly or indirectly with the choosing of ti paper upon which those ballots were printed. I never was consulted by anybody. They were ordered. I assume, by the county cen tral committee under the anthoriJv conferred upon them by the primary rules then in force, and no member of the committee or anybody else ever conferred with me In regard to the matter, and I never gave any direc tion whatever concerning it to any one. never saw one of the ballots or the paper on which it was printed until one was given to me at the voting precinct in which lived. I make this statement for the ex press purpose of notifying all the standpat papers of this state that the first one that again repeats this libel will have to defend It in court, as I wijl not longer endure this columnv. S. F. PROI'TY. He then appends a letter from J. A. Hall, president of ihe Iowa Printing Company, nt whoso shop the ballots were printed. Mr. Hal! states that he selected the paper stock on his own motion without .-uggestion from either Prouty or the committee, and that he did so because he happened to have a carload of it on hand for printing a catalog for the Iowa Seed Company. His letter is as follows: f)es Moines, Iowa, Feb. 12, 190S. To tho Kditor: Many incorrect' statements having recently been published by the press of the state with respect to the so- called tissue ballots which were prom inently mentioned In' Ihe congressional campaign iu the Seventh district, in 1 lMI-1. we believe it proper, that we should make a plain statement of facts as to how these ballots were ordered, who selected' the paper stock used ill printing them, and why the paper actu ally used was selected. During the primaries of that year, in which Hon. .1. A. '1'. Hull and lion. S. F. Prouty were candidates for con gress. our company secured an order for the election supplies, from the com mittee having the matter in charge. At no time before or during the placing of tin- order, the delivery of the copy or the printing of the tickets, was the subject of the quality, weight, transparency, or thickness of the paper to be used in the ballots even men tioned by any representative of the cumin it tee. or of either of the candi dates. excepl Unit we were informed that they preferred a (taper that could not be duplicated, so as to prevent the unauthorized printing of the official ballot for Improper purposes. I told the committee that 1 bail a paper which 1 thought 1 could use on the Job and which 1 was «ure could not be duplicated in lies .Moines, or even In Chicago, as It was manufac tured expressly for a large customer of ours. It so happened that we had on hand a special grade of book paper from a carload of the Iowa Seed Com pany. As this paper was made to or iel' and of a special size and weight, it was my opinion, that it would an swer the committee's purpose as being proof against duplication. This paper, by the way. has been used by the Iowa Seed Company for fifteen years, and is still used by them in printing their catalogs. It is light in weight, lighter than is usually used for catalog pur poses. but tirm and strong in texture and very opaque, as the catalogs are printed on both sides of the paper, with heavy cuts, and the work would be spoiled, if the cuts or text showed thru the paper. It was not a paper having any of the characteristics of a tissue or any resemblance to it: as will be seen by any unprejudiced per son 'who will examine the catalog of the Iowa Seed Company for that year, or any issue of it for the past fifteen years, 190S included. I called up Mr. Charles N. Page, manager of the ihwa Seed Company, and secured his consent that the paper be used In printing the ballots so that the paper used was not selected by the committee or it's representative, or by any candidate, or by a representative, but by our company and of course without any ulterior purpose whatso ever.

Iowa has plenty of water for water power, but she lacks the mountains over which to pour her streams to get the elevation and fall, so necessary to generate power. The gravity pres sure of a column of water is what gives it power, not its How in a slug gish stream. Cedar Rapids correspondents say Trcwin is being groomed for United States senator as well as congressman. Is this an attack on Dolliver or the future Senator 'Cummins? If Ben Birdsall goes to stumping for Allison it will be legitimate enough on Birdsall say as to soreness which prompts the opposition of a disappointed candidate. No wonder that the California con gressman objected to the amendment proposing to reduce the mileage allow ance of the nation's legislators from twenty to eight, cents. For the first time in tho history of its publication, the United States Pos tal Guide contains offers of rewards for persons arrested and convicted of robbing or tampering with the mails. A reward of $T00 is offered for the arrest and conviction of robbers who have attacked persons intrusted with the mails $250 is offered for the con viction of persons who robbed mail sacks when they were unprotected: $2u0 is the price set for the convic tion of persons tiring at persons in trusted with the mails, and $50 for conviction of persons robbing jiostal stations. At one time Uncle Sam had SO.000 postoffices, but the new postal guide shows only 61,566. Rural delivery has concentrated the business. •The Cedar Rapids Republican says that Senator Allison has been exam ined by one of the.most eminent med ical men in the state and has been "Secretary Shaw would have Mr. Morgan for president," says the Reg ister and Leader, and then observes that "If not J. P. Morgan, some man of the Morgan class. The suggestion is a fitting commentary on the many Shaw speeches arid addresses. It furnishes the key to his parables and generalizations." "It is announced that Dolliver, Cou sins and Birdsall will stump the state for Allison. Let them come. The more of that kind the better," says the Ociebolt Chronicle, and asks, "Why not trot out John F. Lacey, George L.

The church lias always been a great power for personal morality. As it changes its emphasis from theology to ethics it is becoming more potent in this direction. The church is inspiring men and women with the idea of serv ice, and society is feeling the beneficent result. Institutions which attempt meliorative work, such as temperance, purity, charity and the like, are cer tainly arising out of the churches. But the truth is forced upon the earnest student that, while the church is serving the needs of the persdnal life in effective ways, while it is nobly concerned with the task of social amelioration, it is not concerned with social reforms. It has no distinctive and efficient ethics to offer society. Every person and every organization seeking social righteousness Is chal lenged by present needs to seek a clearer discovery of the principles which govern the relation of men and classes in society. The Ethical So ciety is committed to the search for moral principles which shall be ef fective in social organization, and to the promotion of civic and social righteousness. Religion and Health. (Rev. W. A. Bartlett, D. D.) The church both In England and America is giving special attention to the subject of healing and health. It is possible of demonstration that Christianity, pure and simple, can ac complish everything claimed by Chris tian Science. Take, for instance, mental diseases. We know from sta tistics that many of the inmates of in sane asylums are there as a result of diseases induced by social sins, either It is a matter of demonstration that the digestive organs, the blood, the beating of the heart, the activity or sloth of the kidneys, the condition of the skin and the poise of thp nervous system, all depend on the calm of the mind. Therefore an experience of Christianity Is the corrective of many ills, both fancied and real. The Right Kind of Dancing. Dancing is all right, even if the dancers are church members.

"I am strongly of the opinion These propositions were advanced from the pulpit of Pilgrim Congrega tional church by Rev. Frederick E. Hopkins, the pastor. Mr. Hopkins de clared that there was no prohibition in the Bible against dancing, and that he could see no harm in the amusement, under proper circumstances.

McBride Will Drug Co. Local Comment It is not strange in politics that men should be of many minds or that when one side wins tho other side should experience disappointment. There Is one satisfaction, however, in the fact that no man in the county could have any difficulty understand ing just where Mr. H. F. Cummings stands on public issues. Votes eust for him were cast with a full under standing of what tliey meant. J* As usual In the recent caucus and convention campaign the charge of "dictator" was very generally used by men who were ashamed to disclose their real purpose. it has always seemed strange that a man could have the nerve to tell another man that somebody owns him in polities with out realizing that he has insulted the man ho is talking to. Few men ever run for 'office or political honor with out a desire to have newspaper sup port. When they get it they are very much inclined to accept it as their duo, but it' the other fellow gets it, then the newspaper becomes a cruel and conscienceless dictator. The Times Republican lias faced this charge dur ing all the years of Its existence, the same whci\ political conventions were going against It as when tlicy were going in the same direction. So ac customed has It become to the charge that this newspaper feels competent, to advise others just how to be a dic tator. Guess right and follow the crowd. No charge for the information. This rule will be found infallible. It was stated In the convention that tho reason Marshall county had been so many years denied a delegate to a nationai convention was that the ma jority of the district was in the con trol of the standpatters ol' the east end, which was a correct statement. The inference was left that Marshall county should change its politics and appeal to those who were In control I however, it should be remembered that two years ago Marshall county's progressive friends came within two votes of a majority in the Fifth dis trict caucus, and that there are so i,many candidacies from eastern coun ties involved this year that there should be hopes of receiving favors from some eastern counties heretofore ob durate. Polities can be a game of give and take, or it can be a game of re prisals. How about your water rent.' If you have a meter service thHy^.s your last day to pay and take adv^^ee of the discount. J* The man who wailed long enough had his walks cleaned by Old Sol even tho his neighbors took risks on their lives every time lliey passed the prem ises. The tenant who ignores all rights of pedestrians, and permits his walks to remain snow and ice covered, will never make a howling success of own ing his own home. Jl The questions that naturally arose at the recent board of health meeting, over what to do in cases in which cows examined for tuberculosis were found to be infected, are of more than pass ing Interest and importance. While no law could be found covering1the sub ject, and t/lie ordinance was not plant, common sense ventured the opinion that no owner could dispose of an ani mal so infected unless he sold to some packing house where government in spection was furnished. Promiscuous disposition of condemned cows would certainly put a .premium on such ani mals, which could be bought for little or nothing, and be slaughtered and served to the public as meat, regard less of its character. J* If Marshalltown's meat Inspection ordinance were operative at the present time, or could be put in force shortly, the situation would not be so bad, for then there would be little danger. If people bought meats from *4 market, they could rest assured that ai? inspec tion of what they purchased had been made, either by the government or the city. If they purchased indiscrimin ately from peddlers at their back doors, then they would be assuming the risks. It doesn't stand to reason, however, that if a cow is found to be infected with tuberculosis, It is ri&lit and proper to turn her loose upon the public .without giving an authorized inspector the opportunity to pass upon the question of whether or not the dis ease is at such a stage that her carcas would be unfit for food purposes. It is a fact, however, that tuberculosis will show up in a cow, affecting certain parts of the body only, and localized as it were, and at the same time not af fect the meat. Again, if the disease attacks other parts of the system, it will be condemned by a"n inspector and ordered destroyed. Therefore, one cow might not-pass 'inspection for milk. Another, in the same herd, might also be condemned for milking purposes. The two might be taken to a packing house and examined for beef purposes. One might pass, and the other be con demned. If both were allowed to be sold to the highest bidder, a way would be found to dispose of the meat from both, regardless of diseased condition. BUILDING SITES.

Leila, In her wraps, emerged lu a few moments, looking at l'lank out of serious eyes, and they made their brief adieus and went away In I'lank's brougham. When Agatha's maid arrived Quar rler also started to take his leave, but Sylvia, seated at a card table, Idly arranging the cards In geometrical de signs and fanciful arabesques, looked up at him. saying: "I wanted to say something to you, Howard." Agatha passed tlieui, going Into Syl via's room for her wraps, and Qnar rier turned to Sylvia. "Well?" he said, with the slightest hint of Impatience. "Can't you stay a minute?" asked Sylvia, surprised. "Agatha is going In Ihe motor with me. Is It anything important''" She considered lilm without replying. She lind never before detected that manner, that hardness In a voice al ways so even in quality. "What is it?" he repeated. She thought a moment, putting aside for the time Ills manner, which she could not comprehend. Then: "I wanted to ask you a question—a rather Ignorant one perhaps. It's about your A inn Iga mated Electric company. May I ask It. Howard?" After a second's stare, "Certainly," he said. "It's only this If the other pe°Ple the Intercounty. 1 mean—are slowly mining Amalgamated, why don't you stop it?" Quarrior's eyes narrowed. "Oh! And who have you been discussing the mat ter with?" "Mr. I'lank," she said simply. "I asked him. lie shook his head and said'Vd better ask you. And I do ask you." For a moment he stood inute. Then his lips began to shrink back over his beautiful teeth in one of his rare laughs. "I'll be very glad to explain it some day," he said, but there was no mirth In his voice or eyes, only the snicker ing lip wrinkling die pallor. "Will you not answer now?" she asked. "No. not now. But I desire you to understand it some dajf—some day be fore November. And one or two other He took her limp hand almost brisk ly, released it aud stepped down the stairs as Agatha eutered, cloaked, to say good night. They kissed at parting—"life em bracing death" as Mortimer had sneered on a similar occasion. Then Sylvia, alone, stood in her bedroom, bands linked behind her, her lovely head bent, groping with the very ghosts of thought which eluded her, fleeing, vanishing, reappearing, to\eep out at het* ouly to fade into nothing ere she could follow where they flitted through the dark labyrinths of mem ory. The major, craning his neck in the bay window, saw Agatha and Quar rier enter the big yellow motor and disappear behind the limousine. And it worried him horribly, because he knew perfectly well that Quarrier had lied to him about a jeweled collar precisely like the collar worn by Agatha Caithness, and what to do o:r say to anybody on the subject wan for the first time in his life utterly be yond his garrulous ability. Another matter. lie had violated his word and had been caught at it by his prospective nephew-in-law—broken his pledged word not to sell his Amalga mated Electric holdings, and had done it. Yet how could I'lank dominate un less another also had done what hi had done? And it made him a little more comfortable to know he was sharing the ?.«uilt with somebody- probably with Siward. whom he now had the luxury of despising for the very thing he himself had done. "Drunkard!" he muttered to himself. "He's in the gutter at last!"

What he had roused in her had died wl.en he went away. It could never awake again unless lie returned to awaken it. And lie never would. He would never come again. One brief interlude of love, of pas sion, in her life could neither tint nor taint the cool, normal sequence of her days. All that life held for a woman of her caste—all save that—was hers when she stretched out her hand for It hers by right of succession, of de scent hers by warrant unquestioned, by the nnuttered text of the ukase to be launched If necessary, by that very, very old lady, drowsing, enthroned, as the endless pageant wound like a jeweled river at her feet. So Siward could never come again sauntering toward her through the sunlight, smiling his absent smile. She caught her breath painfully, straight ening up. A single ash fell in the Are.

On their dally rides together It was her custom to discuss practical mat ters concerning their future, and it was bis custom to listen until pressed for a suggestion, an assent or a reply. Sparing words—cautious, chary of self commitment and seldom offering to assume the initiative—this was the surface character which she had come to recognize and acquiesce in. This was Quarrier as he'had been develop ed from her hazy, preconceived ideas of the man before sfie had finally ac cepted him at Shotover the autumn be fore. She also knew him as a meth odical man, exacting from others the orderly precision which characterized his own dealings. A man of education and little learning, of attainments and little cultivation, conversant with usages, formal. Intensely sensitive to ridicule. Incapable of humor. This was Quarrier as she knew him or had known him. Recently she had, little by little, "become aware of an in definable change iu the man. For one thing, he had grown more reticent. At times, too, his reserve seemed to have something almost surly about it. Un der his cold composure a hint of some thing concealed, watchful and very quiet.

What was there to know? What to require? Now that the-main line of her route through life had been surveyed aud carefully laid out, what was there more for her in life than to set out upon her progress? It was her own road. Presumptive leader already, logical leader from the day she mar ried leader. in fact, when tlje ukase, her future legacy, so decreed. It was a royal road laid out for her through the gardens and pleasant places. A road for her alone, and over it she had chosen to pass. What more was there to desire? From the going of Siward all that he bad aroused In her of love, of lutel ijgeucu, of wholesome desire and sane curiosity—the intellectual restlessness, the capacity for passion, the renais sance of the simpler innocence—had subsided into the laissez falre of dull quiescence. Hiding there, head bent, her pulses timing the slow pacing of her horse.* the presently became aware, without looking up, that Quarrier was watching her. She moved slightly in her saddle to look at him and for an Instant fan cied that there was something furtive in his eyes. Only for an instant, for he quietly picked up the thread of con versation where she had dropped It, saying that it had been raining for the last ten minutes and that they might as well turn their horses toward shel ter. Without reason, through and through her shot a shiver of loneliness—utter, loneliness and Isolation. Without rea son, because from him she expected nothing, required nothing, except what he offered—the emotionless reticence of Indifference, the composure of per fect formality. What did she want, then—companions? She had them. Friends? She could scarcely escape from them. Intimates? She had only to choose one or a hundred attuned responsive to her every mood, every caprice. Lonely? With the men of New York crowding, shouldering, crushing their way to her feet? Lone ly? With the women of NeW York struggling already for precedence lo her favor?—omen significant of the days to come, of those future year# diamond linked In one unbroken, tri umphant glitter. "About that Amalgamated Electric company." she began without prelude. "Would you mind answering a ques tion or two. Howard?" "You could not understand It," he said, unpleasantly disturbed by her abruptness. "As you picnse. It Is quite true I can make nothing of what the newspa pers are saying about it, except that Mr. Plank seems to be doing a number of things." "Injunctions and other matters," ob served Quarrier. "Is anybody going to lose any money in it?" "Who, for example?" "Why—you. for example." she said, laughing.' "I don't expect to." "Then It Is going to turn out all right? And Mr. Plank and Kemp Fer rall and the major and—the other peo ple interested are not going to be al most ruined by the Intercounty peo ple?" "Do you chink a man like PIpnk Is CLOTHES. PRICE $10.00.

"No. But Kemp and the major"— "I think the major is out of danger," replied Quarrier. looking at her with the new, sullen narrowing of his eyes. "I am glad of that. Is Kemp—and the others?" "Ferrall could stand it if matters go wrong. What others?" "Why—the other owners and stock holders"— "What others? Who do you mean?" "Mr. Siward, for example." she said In an ev«i voice, leaning over to pati her horse's neck "with her gloved hand. "Mr. Siward must take the chances we all take." observed Quarrier. "But, Howard. It would really mean ruin for him If matters went badly. Wouldn't it?" "I am not familiar with the details of Mr. Slward's Investments." "Nor am I," she said slowly. She spoke about other things. He responded in his Impassive manner. Presently she turned her horse, and Quarrier wheeled his, facing a warm, fine rain slanting thickly from the south. His silky Vandyke beard was all wet with the moisture. She noticed it, audi unbidden arose the vision of the gun room at Shotover Quarrier's soft beard wet with rain, the phantoms off people passing and repassing, Slward's straight figure swinging past, sllhou-' etted against the glare of light from the" billiard room. And here she made an'! effort to efface the vision, shutting her1 eyes as she rode there in the rain, but clearly against the closed lids she saw the phantoms passing specters of dead hours, the wraith of an old hap-t plness masked with youth and wear ing Slward's features! She 8aw herself beside him among the cushions tasted again the rose petals that her lips bad stripped from the blossoms saw once more the davn of something in his steady eyes felt his arm about her, bis breath— Her horse, suddenly spurred, bound ed forward through the rain, and she rode breathless, with her lips half part ed, as if afraid, turning her head to look behind—as though she could out ride the phantom clinging to her stir rup, masked like youth, wearing the shadowy eyes of love!
