St. Louis, April 3.—The platform to be submitted to the populist convention was completed at daylight, after an all night session of the committee on res olutions. Much consideration was given to the money plank, and when I .finally accepted by a majority of the committee it was not satisfactory to the minority, and a light over its phraseology on the floor of the con vention was certain. Debate also is expected on the trust plank. As prepared by the committee the financial plank declared that issu ing money is the function of the gov ernment alone, and that it should not be delegated to any corporation or in dividual. Demand is made .that money be issued direct to the people without the intervention of banks and be full legal tender for all debts, public and private. The working of the national banking law is criticized and demand made that the .power to issue money be taken from the banks. The Aldrich and Fowler bills are denounced. The plank on trusts demands that the government own and control rail roads, and all public utilities wliicli, in their nature are monopolies. Other planks submitted favored ini tiative and referendum: power to re call from office disloyal or inefficient representatives the enactment of leg islation looking to improvement of conditions for wage earners abolition of child labor suppression of sweat shops: abolition of convict as opposed to free labor exclusion from Ameri can shores of foreign pauper labor, an eight-hour work day and legislation in favor of safety appliances immediate adoption of precautionary measures to prevent a repetition 'of recent mining disasters work on public improve ments a:t times of depression for un employed men the passage of a law prohibiting courts from assuming jur isdiction involving the constitutional ity of any law enacted by congress and approved by the president main taining farmers' organizations and ex tension of their power of influence. Delegates Obstreperous. The first clash of the day in the convention came on the report of the committee on permanent organization, which recommended that George A. Honnecker, of New Jersey, be made permanent chairman. W. B. Jones, of Nebraska, moved as a substitute, that the temporary organization be made permanent. The convention worked It self into a parliamentary' tangle which ended in the substitute being defeated. Honnecker wes elected chairman. Honnecker made an address of con siderable length, in which he vigorous ly attacked the courts of the county under whose rulings he declared many gross injustices had been committed. He deprecated the industrial situa tion of the country, and declared the opportune time for revolution was present. He asserted that it only needs a "genius of Robespierre, with the elo quence of Danton, to set the country ablaze." Following his address the report of the committee on resolutions was pre sented. The report of the committee on resolutions was read by J. A. Parker, of Kentucky, and on motion to adopt, F. H. Tibbies, of Nebraska, objected, saying the more important part of the plank adopted by the committee last night was omitted. Parker in ex plaining said that at the subsequent meeting of the committee the plank on money had been materially modified. Tibbies charged it was done without the knowledge of the committee on resolutions. There was much confu sion in the convention, and many del egates clamoring for recognition. The motion to incorporate the resolution advocated by Tibbies in the platform was submitted to the special commit tee, which was ordered to report at the afternoon session. WANT FIGHT TO FINISH. Parliamentary Struggle Again Under Way in the House Today. Washington, April 3.—There was a slim attendance of members when the house convened today, due to the stren uous session yesterday. Both Messrs. Payne and Williams, the majority and minority leaders, however, were on hand prepared for a further parlia mentary .struggle, which was soon again under way. It was precipitated by a motion by Payne for approval of the journal of yesterday's proceed ings. On that motion, roll call wast forced by Williams, and the call served io bring out the full strength of both parties. The partisans on both sides are evidently determined to conduct the fight to a finish. The house committee on rules today agreed to the program to break the ex isting filibuster. It provides for tho parage of the deficiency appropriation bi'l now before the house without, in- f3~ V*r V- r-V^ MAKSH AI/LTOW^, IOWA.

LILLEY SHOWS AFFIDAVIT Places Latter in Evidence Against the Electric Boat Company. Washington. "April 3.—Representa tive j_.illev. of Connecticut, author of the resolution under which a special committee of the house is investigat ing" the charges against the Electric Boat Company, placed in evidence an affidavit dated March 12. signed by Samuel Ferguson, residing in Bridge port, Conn., who swore that during the fall and winter of 1902 he served in the United States navy in the capacity of chief electrician, and that during that time he served upon several sub marine torpedo boats, owned by eith er the Holland Torpedo Boat Com pany, or its successor, the Electric I Boat Company, none of which was owned by the United States govern ment. and that many of the crew of these submarine torpedo boats were sailors in the United States navy, re ceiving pay from the United States government, and in addition thereto received wages from the Holland Tor pedo Boat Company.

Chicago, April 3.—A horizontal 20 per cent advance in freight rates thru out the country, under the guise of compensation to the railroads for as suming liability for loss and damage to goods in transit, has been blocked by the prompt action of the Burling ton road In refusing to join the west ern and southern roads in making the advance. The Burlington has notified the in terstate commerce commission that it does not concur in rule 4, and that it will assume liability for goods in transit under the old system. It is ex pected that all western lines will take similar action, as the advance has been held to be unjust and illegal. MITCHELL CANNOT ACCEPT. Offered Chance to Study Labor Condi tions in Panama Canal Zone. Washington. April 3.—John Mitch ell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, called on the president today, and on leaving the White house, said the president had offered him the position of special commissioner to study and report up on the labor conditions in the Panama canal zone.

LUXURIES ARE FEWER Heavy Falling Off in Imports of Non Necessaries Reported by Custom Of­ ficial in New York. 1 New York, April 3.—A heavy falling off in importation of luxuries during the month of March is reported by Appraiser Wanmaker, of the port of New York. The total value of auto mobiles imported during the month was $127,940, a scant third of the au tomobile importations during March of last year. The most remarkable falling off, however, is that of precious stones and Jewelry. The total value for March was $3S9,000, about 3,000, 000 below the value of diamonds and pearls imported in March, 1907. The appraiser's figures show little varia tion in the importation of staples. PAPER DIVIDEND LOWER. Directors of International Company Declare Quarterly Disbursement. New York, April 3.—The directors of the International Paper company Wednesday declared a quarterly divi dend of 1 per cent on the preferred stock. This is a reduction of half of 1 per cent from the last previous pay ment and places the stock on a 4 in stead of a fi per cent basis.

Recent Legislature Created City Oflice and Provided Neither Work Nor Pay TOO MANY HEALTH OFFICERS Law's Intentions May Be Surmised and Corrective Legislation Will Follow— Cummins Invades Reservation Campaigning in Southern Iowa at Present. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, April 3.—The legisla ture last winter, at the request of the Iowa League of Municipalities, cre ated a municipal office without du ties and without pay. Tiius far it is not known whether any person has been appointed to the position. Pos sibly the city councils would have the power to prescribe duties and com pensation. The office is that of "health physician." The creation of the office has caused confusion in the minds of city offi cials, and many inquiries havie reached the office of the state board of health. The new position is made appointive by the mayor. Many city officials have been led to believe that this law in fact merely changes the method of selecting the city "health officer." Un der section 2568 of the code there is provided a health officer as an officer of the local board of health, and to be elected by the local board of health, and to be a physician. The city coun cil elects a "city physician." Now the legislature has provided for a "health physician." It is the opinion of Secretary Thom as, of the state board of health, that this does not affect the old law, and in this he is supported by the opinion of Attorney General Byers. Local boards of health will continue to select a "health officer" just as they have done heretofore, and the "health officer" will continue to have the same duties as heretofore. City councils further more will continue to elect "city phy sicians," just as they have ever done. It 5s understood that the intention of the Iowa League of Municipalities was to amend the law so as to have the "health officer," who is an officer of the local board of health, appointed by the mayor instead of elected by the local board of health. But by the un fortunate wording of the law, this has not been done, and instead the legis lature has created a new officer, who has neither duties nor compensation. It is probable that the league at the next session will introduce a bill to have the change perfected, or else will correct the mistake by abolishing the "health physician." Governor Cummins will" make the real working opening of his campaign for the United States senate by mak ing twenty addresses down in the res ervation country in the territory long ruled by Blythe and considered against the governor. The announcement that the governor will devote his time for a few days to the reservation brings out the diiference in the nature of the campaign this year under the primary and that last year under the caucus and convention. Under the primary a vote in the reservation counts this year as much as it does in any other section of the state. Governor Cum mins has long had almost solid support from the northwestern quarter of the state. While lie has had many friends in the reservation counties, they have not been numerous enough to carry very many counties down there, and hence have been of little benefit to the governor in carrying nominations. This year they will all be counted in the-grand total that will determine the senatorial nominee. For the next few days the governor's speaking dates will be: April 3, after noon. Clarinda evening, Shenandoah Apri 1 4, afternoon. Afton evening Lor imer April 9, afternoon. Corning: ev ening. Creston: April 10, afternoon, Cravity: evening, Bedford: April 11, Blockton. The governor started in on the reservation yesterday at Hamburg in Fremont county. Assistant Attorney General Charles W. Lyons has begun the work of pre paring his brief and argument in the Charles W. Rocker, case. Rocker was convicted in northwest Iowa of mur dering his employer, August Schroeder. He afterward married the dead man's widow and it is alleged that in a drunken sleep he disclosed to her thai he was the murderer of her husband. She informed the sheriff and Rocker was tried. On the first trial the su preme court reversed the case on tech nical legal points. He was tried again in district court and convicted and has •appealed again. This appeal will be heard by the supreme court at the May term, which opens the middle of May. Many attorneys think the ease will stick on the second appeal for in the district court there was great effort to avoid reversible errors. Rocker's at torneys will "make a. hard tight. Tin ease has not been in the courts for some years and Rocker has fought if at every step, scoring some victories thus far. Representative Enoch Beery of Hen ry county, has filed his nomination pa p'Tc tri cp hie nqntr placed on the primary ballot for renomi nation. WAY IS CLEAR FOR WEDDING Anna Gould and Prince Confident Mar riage Won't Impair Income. New York, April 3.—Mills. Anna Gould and Prince De Sagan now be lieve that tile legal state of the for mer's affairs will permit of their be ing mar'ied at their convenience, in spite of the opposition of the Gould family. without endangering Mine. I Mould's income from tho estate of her father. While no official statement could be obtained from her lawyers today, it was learned on excellent authority that Mine. Gould has for some time been acting under advice to this ef fect from her counsel. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gould last night visited lime. Gould at the Hotel St. Regis, where she still is in bed, suffer ing fron! bronchitis. Ot/her relatives, including Helen M. Gould and George J. Gould, evinced their concern by re peated telephone inquiries, which were promptly answered. This is taken by friends of the family as an attempt to patch up a reconciliation between Mine. Gould and other members of her fam ily. Evidence that the breach was widen ing was given, however, in an order obtained from J. G. Lacombe of the United States circuit court, relating technically to the old creditors' suit against Mme. Gould and executors of her father's will. It was learned today that in the Ave years fo.lowing Mine. Gould's mar riage to Count Boni that spendthrift got away with not only the $3,000,000 in cash that Mme. Gould took with her to the other side, but her entire in come of between $600,000 and $700,000 a year and piled up debts amounting to Sri.OOO.OOO in addition. MARKET DAY AT CONRAD.

The ladies of the Presbyterian churc-h served dinner to the visitors. MINES TO RESUME Miners and Operators Agree on Old Scale for Centerville District, and Others Will Follow Resumption April 10. 1 Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, April 3—The joint scale committee of the miners and op erators today agreed upon the old wage scale for the First district, tak ing in Centerville and surrounding country, with the exception of machine work, which is a special order for Monday afternoon, and some classes of day labor. The agreement is for one year instead of two. It is probable that other districts will take less time of adjustment, and that a new scale, practically the same as the old scale, will be given out and put in force by April 10. Settlement Probable in East. Indianapolis, April 3.—President Lewis, of the United Mine Workers of America, stated today that he .had re ceived sufficient acceptances to his invitations for a meeting to justify the belief that there will be a joint con ference between the miners and opera tors in the districts of western Penn sylvania., Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, for the purpose of rehabilitating the interstate wage agreement in the cen tral competitive field. Lewis could not state where or when the meeting will be held. DUN'S TRADE REVIEW. Further Slight Improvement Indicated. In Business and Collections. New York, April 3.—Dun's review to morrow will say: Bank exchanges this week at all the leading cities in the United States are $2,209,552,000. or 22.4 per cent under a year ago, and 23.5 per cent under the corresponding week of 1906. The larger losses are at New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg. Louis ville and San Francisco. A number of cities in the west report an increase over both preceding years, and the losses at Baltimore and New Orleans are not so large as in preceding weeks. Dispatches to Dun's weekly indicate a further slight improvement in the vol ume of business and promptness of collections, altlio conditions arc still far from satisfactory. LUMBERMEN RESENTENCED. None of Twenty, Wealthy Toledo, O., Dealers Given Jail Sentences. Toledo, O., April 3.—Twenty wealthy lumbermen of Toledo, found guilty of conspiracy in restraint of trade, un der the Valentine anti-trust law, were resentenced today by Judge Kumler.

Hack ensclimidt j'r, GREAT -INTEREST IN MATCH Large Crowd Gathers in Chicago to Witness Championship Go Between Russian and lowan—Foreigner Must Win Quickly Or Not At All. -v Chicago, April 3—The largest crowd ever attracted by a similar event in Chicago, is expected to gather tonight at the Dexter pavilion, to witness the match between George Hackenschmidt, champion wrestler of the world, and Frank Gotch, champion catch-as catch-can wrestler of America. Tho matoh will be for the world's title. The best two in three falls will decide the struggle and the only hold barred will be the deadly strangle. Gotch was re garded today by betters and critics as having about an even chance to separ ate Hackenschmidt from his title. It was argued that if Hackenschmidt wins he must win quickly, for it is be lieved if he does not get the first fall inside of thirty minutes Gotch's power of endurance is likely to win the match for him. The Russian has seldom been asked to go over a long distance, while Gotch is used to an endurance gait. Gotch's chief danger, it was said, lies in the famous head hold of the for eigner. This hold Hackenschmidt claims is equal too or even better than the painful toe hold upon which Gotch will rely, for the ferocity of its lock with the fingers clinched over the top of the head and with a man as power ful as Hackenschmidt, it is said to be even more effective than the famous strangle hold, barred on account of its injurious effects. Hackenschmidt is said to have practiced this new hold, together with defensive on the toe hold. Gotch's favorite grip. Both men have been in training at local clubs for the past .ten days and will enter the ring in excellent condi tion. The weights and measurements of contestants seemingly gave Hack enschmidt a trifle the advantage. The Russian outweighs his opponent by •twelve pounds and has the advantage of 8 inches in chest measurement, and in biceps 4 V* inches. The men are almost equally matefhed In the matter of reach, with Hackenschmidt 74^ inches and Gotch 73. The American champion excels only in height. He stands 5 fee-t 11% inches, while Hack enschmidt measures a feet 9 inches. Both men are 30 years old. ADDITIONAL MARKETS St. Louis Grain. St. Louis. April 3. Wheat—May, 93- 94. Corn—Mav, 62~m ti.

N E S I British Torpedo Boat Destroyer Cut in Two By Cruiser .Berwick WERE ENGAGED IN MANEUVERS Destroyer Attempted to Cross Bow* of Sister Ship and Collision Resulted —Commander and Thirty-five of Crew Drowned Twenty-two Keep-' Afloat Until Rescued. Portsmouth, Eng.. April 3.—Tlilrty aix men, including Lieutenant Middle lon. commander of the torpedo boat destroyer Tiger, lost their lives in a collision off the Isle of Wight l^st night' between that vessel and the British, cruiser Berwick. The vessels were engaged in night maneuvers in the channel while on tho way to Portland. The night was very dark, and the Berwick was steaming slowly. When the Destroyer attempted. to cross the big cruiser's bow she wan cau&lit midships and cut in half witli knife-like precision, sinking almost im mediately/ The crew, who were dressed in heavy oil skins and boots, went down with the vessel, not having', time to free themselves from these heavy encumbrances. Of twenty-two men who were rescued, most of iheirv were engineers and stokers who, hav ing light clothing, were able to keep themselves afloat until boats from thvi other ships, which were immediately launched, picked them up. Were Playing at War. The smaller naval vessels were in the midst of an attack on their bigger consorts, when the disaster occurred. The entire fleet was under masked: lights, and in absolute darkness the tiger was suddenly struck square amidships by the Berwick. The sharp stem of this vessel cut the destroyer in two as if she had been made of paper.. The forward half sank instantaneous ly and the sea became dotted witli, struggling men. Most of them, how ever, sank before help could reach them. The warships in the immediate vicinity quickly had their boats over-' board, and the scene of the tragedy was brilliantly illuminated by the con centration of searchlights.

Rates $2 to $3 Per Day Meals 50 Cents "l"' Refuses to Again Lead Forlorn Hope as Democratic Candi ivy date For Governor WEAVER INDUCED TO WITHDRAW Reported That Bryan Urged Veteran to Stay Out of Race in Interests of His Own Candidacy—Bryan Sends Word Declining New York Invita tion. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, April 3.—General Weav er will not enter the democratic pri maries as a candidate for governor, neither will Fred White. Weaver prom ised to withdraw provided White would accept. White won't make the race, but Bryan's influence has caused Weaver to withdraw in the interests of harmony. Yesterday William Jennings Bryan told General Wea.ver that whatever happened in Iowa about local matters, the general must take part in the na tional campaign. The reasons for this are obvious in view of the populist convention in St. Louis at this time. General Weaver will have great influ ence among the populists in other states, whom he UmT as a candidate for president in 1892. General Weaver held a conference With his friends yesterday and after carefully considering the situation, de cided not to enter the race for gover nor. John D. Denison of Dubuque, has been recognized its the other leading oandidate. He was inclined yesterday to insist on standing for the nomina tion, but many democrats urged him, also, to withdraw. During the day General Weaver and Mr. Denison agreed to withdraw if Fred E. White would again take the nomination. He was reached by long distance telephone and positively and utterly declined to consider the mat ter. A conference was begun at 5 o'clock yesterday morning with respect to the governorship. In this Mr. Denison was chiefly interested. It was believed that he would stay in, altho his business partner at Dubuque has been insisting that he drop politics. Claude R. Porter and Jerry B. Sulli van have decidod to enter a friendly contest for United States senator and will go on the primary ballot. There was a movement to prevent any democrat going on the primary ballot so that the legislative caucus could settle it if the democrats control the legislature. This has been balked. It was in violation of the spirit of the primary law for which the democrats have insisted that they have been standing for years. While in Des Moines yesterday Will iam Jennings Bryan, put a quietus on the speculation as to whether the New York National Democratic club had in tended that he should speak or main tain a discreet silence at the banquet to be given there April 13, by wiring withdrawal of Ms acceptance of the invitation to attend. He will not be present and therefore cannot speak. A controversy has been raging among New York democrats relative to the matter. Beyond announcing his decision in this respect he would not discuss the matter. In view of the discussion which had arisen as to whether the invitation was to make a speech or- merely to be present, Mr. Bryan said that he felt It would be embaxrasslng both to the club and to himself to be present in either capacity and therefore he wired President Fox of the club yesterday morning that he withdrew his accept ance of the invitation. To be present he would run the risk of being called upon for an extemporaneous speech and to refuse or to accept would be alike subject to criticism and the easi est solution was not to be present at all.

Dodge Factory to Be Broken With out Delay FREIGHT RATES ARE ALL RIGHT Plymouth Clay Products Company Has Received Asau-ance From the Railroads That It Will Be Put On a Fair Competitive Basis With Rival Potteries—Other Iowa News. Special to Times-Republican. Ft. Dodge, April 3.—L. E. Armstrong, general manager of the Plymouth Clay Products Company, has author ized the statement that ground is to be broken at once for the new pottery, wliieh has been talked of here for some time past. The plant will be constructed and put in operation as rapidly as capital and men can make it possible. The new plant, which promises to be one of the best labor employers in the city, will be situated alongside of the Plymouth Gypsum company and Plymouth Clay Products company plants, southeast of the city. It is estimated to cosit J50,000, will be of brick, and in every way will be strictly modern. There will be four kilns, and the capacity of the factory will be about 10,000 gallons of stone ware per twenty-four hours. The pottery, or stoneware plant, will be built so that when the business warrants the addition it can be dou bled in size and capacity. That will make it cost an additional $50,000 and will add four more kilns. George M. Thompson, recently of Whitehall, 111., and formerly manager in Fort Dodge for the plant of the Western Stoneware Company, which was burned a couple of years ago, will be the superintendent of the pottery for the Plymouth Clay Products com pany. The Fort Dodge potiery will make everything in the white and dark stoneware line that is made anywhere. Clay will be got from below the gyp sum rock, and is the same quality that Is being so successfully used for the making of sewer pipe by the same company. It has been put to all man ner of practical tests and makes high grade ware. There is practically no loss in burning or by "air-cooling" af terward. The latter fault was one of the great obstacles in the way of the success of the old pottery here. The announcement of the erection of the factory follows the receipt of assurances from the railroads that Fort Dodge will be put on a fair com petitive basis with the potteries of Red Wing and Monmouth, the two places that will hav3 to be met in this^ field. $68,016 OWING COUNTY.

Facts About New Theory As Secured by Interviews 3 An article from the Nashville, Tenn., Banner, published during L. T. Coop er's visit to that city, throws, some light on the remarkable success of the young man's theories and medicines in various cities visited by him during the past year. The article is as fol lows: "In view of the enormous sale of Cooper's preparations now going on in this city and the intense interest which Mr. Cooper has stirred up since his arrival, a representative of the Banner spent Thursday afternoon at the young man's headquarters, watch ing the swarm of humanity come and go. "During the afternoon the reporter interviewed many of the callers and obtained statements from all who cared to give them as to their expe rience with Cooper and his prepara tions. "The following are selected from those statements as being typical of the general expression of the people seen: "Mr. B. B. Lasater, living at 1224 North Fourth avenue, when inter viewed, said: 'I have been troubled with my stomach for the past two years and have had rheumatism for more than five years. Sometimes I could not walk, and there were times when I could not even move In bed. Hard knots would form on mj mus cles, which caused me intense pain. Gas formed on my stomach after eat ing, which gave me much pain and distress, and often I was restless and tossed all night, losing much sleep and rest.

Special to Times-Republican. Waterloo, April 3.—The efforts put forth by teachers in rural schools the past few year to secure increased wages is slowly but surely bearing fruit, as manifested by the independ ence of applicants. For years past the rural teacher has subsisted on very small wages, but now that the profes sion has been improved by strict school laws the teachers have found it impos sible to continue at the wages hereto fore paid and are feeling Independent in making demands. In making appli cation for schools essential questions are asked by them of all school direct ors: First The size ot the school and amount paid p-ar month Second—The probability of board being secured near the suiuui hou3e, with transportation to school on stormy days. Third—How far is school located from a town. On the answers to these questions depend the price which the directors of the district have to pay to secure competent teachers, without fortune favors them i:n having a teacher lo cated in the district. Especially Is the question of distance from town observed, and the wages required range from $3I per month to $45 ac cording to distance, the lower price being for short distance from town. "Securing a boarding place for rural teachers has become very difficult," said a school teacher. "The habit of board being furnished in families near the school is slowly being discon tinued, and the patrons look upon it as the duty of directors to board the teacher no matter what Inconvenience it may cause. The objection is not because of any social qualifications, as most people find her company a source of pleasure, but it is due to the inconvenience which is occasioned with the desire and disposition of the families to be alone. It is generally Impossible to find a suitable place closer than a half to three-quarters of a mile of the school, and if the day is blustry and disagreeable it becomes Incumbent on the parties to hitch up and convey the teacher to school and then go after her in the evening. This courtesy is not exacted by any re quest of the teacher, but there are few so lacking In hospitality as to allow a young lady to make her way to school under such difficulties. The disposition of patrons to shift the boarding onto the directors is a mat ter which has caused several other wise efficient patrons to refuse to act in the interests of the school who would otherwise gladly do all in their power."

^1 I/ RUN CONDITION DUE TO OVERWORK A BATTLE CREEK WOMAN DE SCRIBES K'ER SYMPTOMS AND TELLS HOW 4DR. 4WILLIAMS' t\\' PINK PILLS CURED HER. The symptoms described in the fol lowing citso are so common today •wherever overwork and worry have resulted in a decline in health that the means by which a cure was affected deserve the careful attention of every thoughtful man and woman. It is such conditions as are here described that are common.y neglected until the In jury to the health is past repa-ir. It Is therefore the part of wisdom to taike the remedy that cured Mrs. James etruwin, of 488 West Main street, Bat tle Creek, oh., as soon as the first warning symptoms we noted. She says: "For several months I was sick with anaemia and part of the time had to remain in bed. It was brought on by overwork which produced a run-down condition. Mv kidneys were weak and the secretions contained a sediment. My cheeks and lips were white, I had ibad headaches, dizzy and fainting spells and would see black specks float ing before my eyes. I would often have palpitation of «ie heart, could get no rest from sleep, was nervous, low-spirited and weak. My blood was watery and I didn't have strength enough to work. "We employed a doctor for six months but without avail. Then I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a paper and soon after began to take them. A few boxes cured me, giving me strength and .plenty of blood and I have been well and strong ever since." iSo genera is the success of Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills in curing anaemia -tSiat it may be safely stated that they are the most certain remedy for all conditions of thin, weak and watery blood. Thev are also a tonic for the nerves and have cured Indigestion and general debility, where the stomach and other organs of the body are weakened and disordered simply thru lack of .proper nourishment. They have also been especially successful in cur ing rheumatism and after-effects of the grippe and of fevers. A pamphlet on "Diseases of the Blood" and si copy of our diet book will be sent free on request.

Special to Times-Republican. •Northwood. April 3.—Advices have been received here to the etfect that Dow Boroff, who, under the name of Baivies, came to Meltonville, in the northeastern part of this county, and opened a blaoksmith shop last fall, has been given a ten months' jail sen tence for 'bigamy, by the Henry county district court. He was arrested last fall by iSl .eriff G. A. Lee, and was re turned to Mount Pleasant for trial. The officers there had been looking for him for a year or -more, and had followed him without success all over the. mid dle west. Lee "made" him, and the "grabbing hand" fell before the too much married Mr. Boroff could "lamb." He protested his innocence of crim inal intent, and claimed to be divorced, in a legal manner. Particulars re garding the trial and case against him are not obtainable, but the Melton ville correspondent of the Worth County Index reports that .Melton ville's "blacksmith could not stay, as he will spend ten months in the coun ty jail," with the explanation that there was some flaw in the divorce papers. Meltonville people express sympathy for Mrs. Boroff, of whom the correspondent speaks very highly, as a lady, and as a good worker at her trade, that of a dressmaker. Meltonville needs a blacksmith now, and the people there hope that they can get one as good as the "late la mented" one. but who -will not be visited by the sheriff on official bus iness.

Cli.itworth, April 3.—Thru the Sher lock Holme.* investigation of 1,. R. 'row ell. cashier of the 'hat worth Savings bank, the "black hand" mvs tery of rhatworth has been solved. The guilt is fastened upon George lleii dricli, aged 19, who apparently lias been reading too much lurid litera ture. Frank Wakemnn. a wealthy grain merchant, found a note under th- door lateii addressed to him. On opening it h.- learned that if he did not deposit $10 000 at a certain .place at the south end of the railroad yards that night at S:30, return to his homo and main tain absolute silence, he, his family, and all his property would be de stroyed. With the aid of Mr. Orowoll of the bank, Mr. Waketnan identified the writing as exactly like indorsements written upon chocks by ouug Hen drich. The boy was arrested sus picion. After a sweating process, the sheriff and county attorney secured from the lad an admission of his guilt.

Special to Times-Republican. Waterloo, April 3.—A strike of sec tion men employed by the Illinois Central on this division has been inau gurated, and it is expected to spread to the entire system, because of a re duction in wages. The Illinois Central officials in this city received a message to the effect that commencing with yesterday the wages of all section men and laborers in the employ of the. railroad com pany would be cut from 15 cents per hour to 134 cents an hour. This means that they will receive $1.35 for a ten-hour working day instead of $1.50, the price that has been paid tip to the present time. This decision of reducing the wages affects all laborers along the entire system of the Illinois Central, and is a huge attempt on the part of the officials to materially re duce the operating expenses of the road. It is positively asserted from semi-official sources in Waterloo that this action is the outcome of the re cent meeting of the road superinten dents in Chicago to consider the ex pense accounts of the road for the past month. The section men were notified Tues day of the cut in wages, and yesterday morning the gang of laborers under the supervision of Section Foreman Charles Blaser, who has charge of th.? local yards, failed to put in an appear ance at the appointed time of 7 o'clock. A similar action was taken by the men who have been working for Oliver Smith on the section between this city and Raymond. It could not be ascer­ tained today whether the. section men all along the division of the I. C. took similar action but it is rumored that the men will refuse to work for $1.35 per day. They claim that they cannot live and support their families on those wages, and will seek employ ment elsewhere providing the rail road officials persist in the action which was commenced this morning.

ML -ri Injunction Suits Begun Against Four Other Saloonists of Council Bluffs PLAN LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE General Public Has Been Invited to Join i:he League, Which Will Assist the Anti-Saloon League in Its Cru­ sade Witnesses and Attorneys From Des Moines. Special to Times-Republican. Council Bluffs. April 3.—It begins I» look as tho the anti-saloon league of Iowa had matured its plans in a cam paign for the extermination of the sa loons in Council Bluffs. Following the arrest Monday and the fining of the proprietors of the Manhattan saloon, a total of $-'.310 for violating the law, four injunction suits have been begun against other saloonists, including two of the swellest places in the city, the Grand hotel bar and the saloon of Ed Rogers. The fixtures in the Rogers saloon were on exhibition at the world's fair, and were bought by Rog ers at the close of the exposition, cost ing a mint of money. At the same time, it is announced that a law and order league is in pro cess of formation, the members of which will assist tbe league in the cru sade. The names of the members of the league thus far obtained, have not been made public, and a general in vitation has been issued for the gener al public to join. The attorney representing the league in the four injunction suits, started in from Des Moines. He first appeared here Tuesday morning and has been daily since in consultation with Rev. Charles Mayne and Rev. J. W. Jones and others, altho his identity was not known until yesterday. Witnesses upon whose testimony the prosecutions are based, are also said to be from Des Moines and indications are that they operated here before the middle of March. As usual in such cases, more or less mystery attaches to them and Robert Beasky, in whose name the actions were brought, did not even know the name of the attorney, M. S. Odle, of Des Moines. The names of the saloon men in the other two cases are Charles libolcl and George L. Smith. The in junctions oil which the "contempt of court" proceedings are based, are all old ones. In the Rogers case, the in junction was filed May 31, 1907: Grand hotel, the same date G. L. Smith, Jan uary 12, 1904 Charles Leibold, May 31, 1907. R. E. Meeker and R. P.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick building, New York, N. Y. ALL THERE IS TO IT. After reading thru column upon column of tirade 8,bout the "Cummins "Williams-Taft" letter, this is all any honest man can make out of it: 1. Cummins had no connection what­ ever Is with it, hence the use of his name just plain lying. 2. Williams wrote what he believed to be the situation under promise of confidential correspondence and put things more plainly than he would have done for publication, but said nothing for which he is now ashamed. 3. Court Boyd was cur enough to exhibit the letter to Julian Richards and Lafe Young, Who used it as com ing from Cummins because the things which a private citizen could eay with lmipunity would appear unseemly if written by the governor of a state and leader of large political following. 4. Neither Taft nor his manager gave out information as to the letter, and Williams offers the correct and original copy for publication if Lafe and his coterie of anti-Cummins newspapers wii'i agree to publish it in full, but so far has no taken. ALORICH BILL DANGEROUS. The house of representatives, at Washington, is wrestling with the Aid rich 'bill for currency reform, while the commercial associations of New York city are adopting resolutions of protest against its wisdom and the clearing house .association of banks in Chicago has addressed a memorial to congress opposing the bill. Politi cians who dare not force the currency situation with a determination to give it permanent a.nd lasting remedy, may force thru the Aldrich makeshift but, if the bill becomes a law, there will be no assistance gi%'en to the country from it. Bank will not avail them selves of its provisions because they could not beneilt their business by do ing so and the law would remain a dead letter so far as providing emerg ency currency. The fact that a law had been passed, however, would stand in the way of future reform and the chances are that the country would be allowed to drift onto the rocks of panic and depression again before any real reform was attempted. It would be far better to have no legislation at all than a makeshift like the Aldrich bill, which is founded and predicated upon incorrect principles of currency finance. r,"-\ American Fencing ABBOTT SON .as *3 Established 1860 IThe Best Move You Can Make lOu When you want to keep your home comfortable is to order some good clean coal as LocKman Lump, 1 Empire Lump Indiana Hocking Acorn ChunKs Benton Lump Hocking Valley West Va.

Early In the summer of 1902 there appeared simultaneously in the Des Moines Capital, Iowa City Republican. Burlington Hawkeye and Cedar Rap ids Republican an identical attack upon governor Cummins because of his defense of what subsequently be came known as the Shelter plank in the republican platform adopted at Cedar Rapids iri 1901. Up to that time the plank had been commended by these papers. 'It had been written toy George Roberts upon the suggestion of President McKinley and Cummins had never seen It until he was nomin ated as candidate for governor on the platform in which It was contained. The purpose of this concerted attack upon him was to discredit his repub licanism because Cummins, at that time, was -leading a movement to free the party from the domination of pow erful railway attorneys such as Mr. Blythe and Judge Hubbard. In the course of the argument Cummins was called a democrat and the charge of "dangerous democratic doctrine" has been repeated and reiterated against him ever sine*. The state convention of 1902 vindi cated him by reaffirming the shelter plank. In 1903 he proposed a com promise in the Interest of harmony and wrote a tariff revision plank him self which was O. K.'d by Blythe and by Allison on one side and by Perkins for the Cummins side—Perkins was then a Cummins man, shouting for the shelter plank. In 1904, however, the Cummins men went to sleep and they were defeated in the national delegate convention. Blythe and Allison and Dolliver put up a job on Cummins by appearing as the original Roosevelt men, altho Blythe had only recently attended a conference at the Auditorium hotel In Chicago at which he had personally and in behalf of the railroads, urged Mark Hanna to run for the nomina tion against Roosevelt. The Cummins men were defeated in the state con vention. a radical standpat plank adopted, but when the state delega tion came into the national convention the n*al Roosevelt states presented a revision plank, which was adopted in spite of the "no" vote of Mr. Blythe as the Iowa member of the committee on resolutions. This year Taft Is the Roosevelt can didate for president on a pronounced •revision platform. Again t.he Cum mins men went to sleep and the Blythe faction captured the delegate conven uoii by niust.iueradjng, but found them­ selves compelled to adopt the Taft re vision plank as complete humiliation for their long tight against 'Cummins. In order to appreciate how false and how 'baseless was the criticism of Cummins for defending the shelter plank which hal been written for him from Washington advices, one has but to oompare the language of that plank with that of the tariff expression adopted this year by the republicans of Illinois. The Iowa Idea platform adopted in 1901 and reaffirmed in 1902, reads: We favor such amendment to the interstate commerce act as will more fully carry out its .prohibition of dis criminations in rate making and any modification of the tariff schedules THAT MAT BE REQUIRED TO PRE VENT THE}111 AFFORDING A SHEL TER TO MONOPOLY. While the Illinois republicans have resolved: "We believe that two .main ideas should pervade ail of the provisions of the tariff: First, that the .protective principle so prevail in all the schedules that American farmers, workmen and producers shall be given the first call on the home market, and. second, that NO ILLEGAL OR UNJUST COMBIN ATION, TRUST OR MONpPOLY SHALL FIND ENCOURAGEMENT OR SHELTER IN AiNY OF ITS PRO VISIONS." In view of the fact that the Blythe newspapers have adopted the Taft re vision plank as their own and that no "shelter to monopoly" is now good re publicanism in Illinois, it seems that justice and fairness to Cummins would demand an apology from these news papers which have attacked his 'dan gerous democratic doctrine." INTERURBAN PROFITS. There is on file in the state house at Des Moines annual reports to the Board of Railway Commissions of Iowa reports from interurbans in tills state -which show earnings that will be of great Interest to every community whitfh harbors hopes of some day see ing an Interurban of its own.

It is estimated that in Iowa the freight business can be made the most profitable branch of the interurban business and the exper ience of roads in later years 'has dem onstrated this -to be true. SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION AND FERTILITY. Mr. Allen Putnam, writing from El dora, presents some objections to the consolidation of rural schools most of which have been met by those who have attempted the improvement of country school service. He believes in raising children for profit and is opposed to any reform which will take them away from the chores. Under present scarcity of farm help loss of the children's work at chore time will interfere with the live stock business and any reduction in the live stock business will depress the price of land, exhaust its fertility, etc. Man- ure spreaders can avail nothing with out the manure, and fertilizer is im possible without the live stock which the children tend, ergo: consolidated schools will sap the vitality of the soil like a fence row soft maple trees. It is a bleak prospect if true. an the absence of any contradiction it can toe assumed that the consoli dated rural school with well paid, ex perienced teachers, adequate equip ment and graded classes would great ly improve country school education. The main objection is the necessity for transportation. In the matter of transportation, which is usually performed toy the father or older brother of one set of children, the choice [must be made 'be tween half an hour's walk along the country highway or three quarters of an hour's ride in a covered convey ance. The loss of time could not be greater than half to three quarters of an hour on the two trips and the chances are that the kids would 'Play along the way afoot enough to eat up even this margin of time. (But after all, what is the purpose men have in life. Is it to rear child ren, to feed cattle, to enrich the soil, or is it to give our offspring the ad vantages of education and opportunity to develop into a nobler race of men than we. ourselves, have been? Was there ever a foreign-born farmer who emigrated to this country for the ex press purpose of having his boys feed cattle or did he come so as to give his boys a free education and a free citizenship which shall make *them 'nen of ability, and men of education and of parts? Why do our most in telligent class of farmers move to town so as to educate their children?. Is it not because they are dissatified with the rural school.' If they had a rural school equally as good as the town school would they not remain on the farm longer and does anyone, in these days, believe that resident management does not enrich the soil far greater than renter management? The time is fast approaching when the farmer must needs have not only 1 common school education but a tech nical college education as well and lie is not going to be content to raise his children 011 the farm without the host school facilities he can provide for them. He and the kind of men who have sent their sons and daughters long distances to good schools are the citizens who should lead the reforms of their community life. It is all right to make the children work. It is a crime not to do so, but the man who would not give them the best of schooling with which to do their work is as far behind the progress of his age as the man who would try to cut his hay with a scythe so as to avoid either the expense of a mower or the loss of lime in hitching up his team. If we are to see rural school consol idation blocked because of the soil's need for a large manure pile, let's farm less soil and educate our kids the best that human experience can provide. Topics of the Times One of the earliest finds of gold in the United States was referred to by Thomas Jefferson in his diary. It was a lump of pure gold found on the Rap pahannock river, Virginia. Now many millions of gold are produced every year. The Cripple Creek district in Colorado alone has produced over $125,000,000. In California's palmy days as much as $65.000.000 worth of gold was .produced In a single year. The surface of Alaska has only been scratched, but upwards of $6,000,000 in gold is produced there annually. Alaska is said to contain the richest gold deposits in the world. Illinois going to the national con vention for Cannon and for tariff re vision is no more ridiculous than Iowa sending Lacey and Lafe Young to that convention on a tariff ripping platform. It simply means that politics is a great game. Admiral Evans finds that the battle ships' armorbelt is .placed too low and that the present turrets and ammuni tion-hoists are unsafe. He says that the broadside guns can be used to ad vantage only in a smooth sea and when the battleships are steaming at a mod erate speed. He urges the raising of the armor-belt and the removal of much superfluous material so as to make the freeboard higher. Virtually Identical criticisms were presented in the Reuterdahl article which brought down such severe reprobation on its author's head by navy department of ficials. Editor Perkins asks: "Who in is Ora Williams?" Mr. Williams is a newspaper man who was employed as Des Moines correspondent for the Sioux City Journal until the editor of the Journal became a candidate for gov ernor. Then Mr. Williams was In structed not to send anything un friendly to Mr. Blythe and Mr. Will lams got another job. The value of a live commercial club to a small town Is seen In the results of efforts which have secured impor tant industries within the .past twelve months to a large number of places within this state. ,%t Residents of a community notice little of the constant changes that oc cur in their town 'from year to year. The visitor who has not seen the .pla«e for a decade must come to point out the changes In farms, towns, roads and even water courses, that have occurred within a given period of time. The young duke of Westminster is coming to America next summer to spend his vacation. The two unusual features are that he is wealthy and will be accompanied 'by his wile. "I pay as I go," declared the pomp ous citizen. "Not while 'I'm running these apart ments," declared the janitor. "You'll pay as you move in."—Washington Journal. Mrs. Ida Lewis, keeper of the Lime Rock lighthouse in 'Newport harbor, R. I., is preparing to take a brief vaca tion, her first in fifty years. In all that time she has never missed a night in the lighthouse. She is suf fering from nervousness and loss of sleep. At 65 she is the only woman lighthouse keeper on Uncle Sam's pay roll. Last fall she received from the American Cross of Honor society at Washington its cross of honor and a life membership. Since then she has been awarded a pension from the Carnegie hero fund for saving eighteen lives. IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES In the homes the Cedar Falls Ga zette advises "the tired mother, who persists in washing the dishes in or der that her daughter's hands may be kept nice and soft, is not rendering a service to the daughter, neither is she doing justice to herself." "The spring sun seems to thaw out the disposition to heave a bomb as well as to pronounce a declaration that two can live where one merely exist ed," laments the Waterloo Reporter. Says the Freeman-Tribune at Web ster City: "The only man and official who never makes blunders is the one who does nothing, and he is guilty of the sin of omission, which is as bad as any other failing." The Ft. Dodge Messenger declares that "in the name of practical educa tion no -high school student should bs 1': allowed to receive a diploma without tirst marking 011 whether or not he can acquit himself creditably by spelling the words of the language correctly. By all means, stir them up by the rivalry of contests." The issue that keeps Hull in con gress is thus stated by the Capital: "Des Moines not only 'does things,' but Des Moines 'wants things,' as is becoming in a wide-awake city. Hull has the ability to 'get things.' The Mason City Times-Herald con fesses that it was a lot of satisfaction to the progressives to see the stand patters pay their way to the state convention this year.' "To put the same thing in different words." says the Grinnell Register, "it is the efTort of the old machine, defeat ed long ago. to defeat the friends of Governor Cummins and then to strut in borrowed plumage." SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION. Editor Times-Republican: "The old country school house of not so long ago will soon be a relic of the past and a consolidated school house will toe met with farther up the road. We may expect great results from this change, for the farmers with their poor schools have turned out some wonderful men, and they should do eyen better under the new conditions. JAMES TIGHE, "Altoona, Pa." Here are some of the results of the new conditions when applied to Iowa: Iowa is an agricultural state. The fertility of its soil to a great extent is the basis of every line of business. This fertility can be maintained only by that system of farming which in cludes the raising of live stock. At the present time the care of this stock requires the assistance of the farmers' boy's who attend the rural schools. By consolidation of the schools the parents of these children would be de prived of this help for during the short days of winter, would see their faces during the school week only by the re flection of the lamps that lighten their homes. Parents in feeble 'health at home and children of tender age with older brothers and sisters at school might be separated for an indefinite time by storms so severe the fleeting snow for days hides the buildings sheltering the -farmer's stock, the cold so severe the mercury sinks to between thirty and forty degrees below zero and the champions of consolidation would be responsible for the sufferings caused by these conditions, in a state that has laws whose .penalty Is a fine or impris onment for cruelty to animals. Of what practical use Is an education ac quired at these schools as applied to the occupation of a farmer? Every 'boy or girl who makes farm ing an occupation will .have to pass thru these trials. These conditions are not temporary, each coming generation will have them to contend with. There can be no prosperous contented homes with fertile fields, under a system of consolidated schools. This change in our school system would be a great expense but the ex pense would be nothing compared to LOOKS BRIGHTER AHEAD. his spelling record \XVfi'/ —Davenport in New York Mail- the sacrifice of the health and manners of these children, to say nothing about morals, cooped up for hours each day, out from the restraining influences of both parents and teachers. Now what is the final result? By the sacrifice of the time of these school children riding: in these conveyances, makes grain farming to a great extent the only alternative. The owner of the farm becomes dissatisfied and leaves it in care of others, then by robbing the soil of its fertility and thru the indifference to the spreading of nox ious weeds, among which are Canada thistles and quack grass, and the wash of the soil down to the gulf, the land depreciates in value and all lines of business are crippled. WThat "character" then as the result of this movement can excel the ones referred to in the above article, "The product of the present rural school system?" The school system that re lieves the scholar of the responsibility to help his parents or does not re quire him to make any effort on his own behalf to reach school or return home, tout a school of dependence on others, will net turn out many wonder ful men. In a sense that is Intended to be conveyed. But wonderful In a way that this graduate will be of no benefit to himself or to the community. ALLEN PUTNAM.

Under his leadership the. party was going hellwards on an end less river of corruption and greed. Under Cummins there is a new dis pensation.

SUSETTK. pi DMs V, Temperance Cause Advanced When Committee Reported McCumber Bill MEASURE IS EXPECTED TO PASS Bill Would Prevent Sale of Liquors on All Government Property—Senator Davis Fails to Make Good His Boast —Civil War Veterans May Secure Aid. X*'W»Y»Yi!ViX5)!SXtXS)®®®®®)® ATTORNEYS (Special Washington Correspondence) Washington, April 3.—Prohibition took another step forward, under fed eral government auspices, when the committee on education and labor of the upper Iowa house reported the bill by Mr. McCumber, of North Da kota, to outlaw all liquor dealings from the possessions of Uncle Sam. Hhe bill provides that hereafter it shall be unlawful to sell intoxicating liquors in any s'hip, ship yard, navy yard, naval stations, buildings or premises owned by the government. All heads of government departments are directed to see that this aot is en forced. In actual effect such a law would cut off the liquor supply from a great number of establishments which are now allowed to operate on government premises. It is believed there is ex cellent chance of its passage, partly because there Is real sentiment in favor of it, and partly because there is gen eral disposition to niaHce some con cession at this session to the wide spread sentiment in favor of further suppression of this traffic. The fed eral government is going to refuse, at this time at least, to grant important extensions of police .power to the state in the ma.tter of increasing their con trol over liquors imported within their bounds. Something taust be done, the politicians feel, to placate -the prohibi tion sentiment and it is as likely as not to ccrne in Che form of passage of the iMoCumiber bill. •The awful suspicion has lately 'been borne in on Washington, that maybe Jeff Davis of Arkansas, senator and arch-enemy of the octopus, isn't going to be aibla to convince his own home state that the establishment of a Davis dictatorship down there is the one thing that the country needs in order to assume its salvation. Sena tor Davis seemed to have Arkansas hypnotized so long as he was gov ernor. He was elected senator. He made a trust-'busting speech in the first week of the senatorial session, thereby busting all precedents, but no trusts so far as was observed. He managed, very early in his career, to get three members of his own faipily attached to the senate payroll, but this caused so -much protest among narrow minded and sordid persons in Arkansas that isome of them were soon removed from the roll. Then Senator Jeff set himself about the business of reforming the state. He presently left Washington, and in fact has been here very little this win ter. He entered a red-hot campaign to have certain adherents of his nom inated for the state offices, and to es tablish a Davis dynasty. Report comes that the people at the recent primar ies rejected these patriotic overtures, and that the Davis ticket was turned down in the primaries. Senator Davis is quite the most pic turesque figure that had landed in the senate in recent years. To Tillman that distinction used to be conceded. But Tillman presently convinced the senate that he had rather more brains and ability than most of his colleagues. He got results. He said things that went to the point. He was effective. He placed his imprint on a vast amount of legislation. He ceased to be regarded as in s.ny wise a freak and turning about to seek a really picturesque character, Washington found one In Davis. Davis is going to be here six years, anyhow but after that it isn't so certain. He doesn't seem to be re garded so highly at home as he used •to be. The Davis dynasty appears doomed.-!, Nobody seems to have figured how rfiueh it would cost, but there is a strong and expanding movement in favor of paying to the surviving sol diers of the civil war the amounts which would represent the difference between the value of the greenbacks which were paid to them as wages, and the amount they would have secured if they had been paid thruout in gold, For many years past this proposal has come up from tiirte to time. Just now a great many petitions are pre sented in its favor, and some of the arguments are conceded by the legis lators «to be hard to answer. For in stance, it is suggested that bonds, is sued during the war and sold for de preciated greenbacks, were paid In gold: Principal and interest. Query: Why should not the soldier who was paid in greenbacks now get the dif ference, too? The proposition to place commis sioned officers on the retired list, and Weak Women To weak and ailing women, there is at least one way to help. But with that way, two treatments, must be combined. One is local, one is constitu tional, but both are important, both essential. Dr. Shoop's Night Cure is tha Local. Dr. Sboop's Restorative, the Constitutional. The former—Dr. Shoop's Night Cure—Is a topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr. Bhoop'i Restorative is wholly an internal treat, ment. The Restorative reaches throughout the entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve, all tissue, and all blood ailments. The "Night Cure", as its name implies, does its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and inflam ed mscoui. surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed strength, vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop's Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—asa general tonio to the system. For positive local help, use as well Dr. tShoop's Night Cure McBRIDE SWILL DRUG CO. give them the pay of retired officers of the rank they attained during ilie civil war, is being pressed with vigor, and the belief is that it will pass at the next congress. That act would take care of retired officers in handsome shape but the men who never got commissions haven't been able to work up much enthusiasm about it, because it doesn't promise to do anything for them. It is for this reason that the proposi tion to pay to all soldiers the differ ences between the value of the green backs they received, and the value of gold at that time, looks good to so many thousands of the soldiers of tho line. Any pension law, it is urged, must be based on a minimum term of service: 90 days being the term now prescribed in most of the laws. The man who served four years stands on the same footing as the one who was in 90 days. But when it comes to mak ing good the difference between gold and greenbacks, the benefit is propor tionate to the length of service. The bill is said to have possibilities of tak ing the place, in the near future, of some of the pension legislation now urged. ZUEBLIN HAS NEW WORK. Chicago Professor to Have Charge of Mrs. Shaw's Settlement Houses. Chicago, April 3.—Professor Charles Zueblin of the department of sociology in the University of Chicago, has been selected by Mrs. Qulncy Adams Shaw. Boston's philanthropist, and wife of that city's wealthiest resident, to take active charge of a new charitable scheme. It is the intention of Mrs. Shaw, who Is the daughter of the late Louis Agassiz, to establish self sup porting settlement houses in various parts of Boston. She already has set aside a trust fund of $2,000,000 to car ry out this project and has Indicated that this amount will increase to $5, 000,000. POLAR CONGRESS PROJECT.

Stockholm, Sweden, April 3.—Scien tific men display the keenest interest in Dr. Otto Nordenskjold's project for a polar congress under the auspices of an international polar bureau at Brus sels. The explorer has finished his prospectus for the congress. Dr. Nordenskjold proposes to have at the congress two persons from each country engaged in polar research, one to be an explorer of the Arctic and the other an explorer of the Antarctic re gions. The congress will not concern Itself with actual plans for further research, but will inquire exhaustively into the theoretical and scientific aspeots of the questions involved, leaving practical men" to realize on the knowledge thus adduced and conveniently recorded.

"MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE" Group Picture of Millers Brings Anx* ious Inquiries. "Mysterious Disappearance" Is a headline that has become familiar as an almost daily feature of the news paper. The Stories come from. cities, villages, and hamlets of somebody's dropping out of his home and haunts, leaving no clew. The total of the year's army of mysteriously disap peared Is amazing—and no estimate can be made of those who are never again heard of by friends or relatives. A pathetic indication of the number thus lost Is occasionally afforded in an unexpected way. One such indication is to be found today in a special file of letters at the offices of Washburn Crosby Co. in Minneapolis, Minn. A full page group picture of the big force of millers employed" in making Gold Medal Flour was recently widely published. The picture shows hun dreds of intelligent faces under clean white caps—and is striking as an il lustration of the representative type of American workingmen. A day or two after the picture ap peared, a letter came to the company, from a, heart broken mother who thought she had recognized her son In the group. She said that the boy had disappeared two years before, and that •the likeness was so close she was al most certain it was he. With the name she enclosed the picture cut out from the group and besought the company to write whether or not he was her son. It was another disappointment that the mail bore back to her, for the picture was at once recognized as that of a well known young miller of an other name and home. But here was the remarkable thing. Letter after letter followed, the moth ers from all parts of the United States asking about this and that one in the group, whom the writers were sure they recognized. It was evident that that group of men—now familiar every where as the millers that never touch the flour -with their hands—had been studied with absorbing interest. Happily all present In the picture are easily accounted for—many having been in the mills for years and all be ing men with love of home, friends and settled interests that (marks the high est class of workmen. But back of the Inquiries lies stories of hope and heartbreak that would make a ok full of human interest.

Bur nett was on board the United States steamship Marblehead four years ago, and while at Callao, Peru, he threw overboard a bottle with a piece of pa per bearing his name, address, and the date, August 19, 1904. Mr. Burnett re cently received the following letter: Island of Flores, Azores, Oct. 24, 1907. Frank Burnett, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Sir: The paper that you threw •overboard from the U. S. S. Marble head off Callao, Peru, was washed ashore at the Island of Corvo, Azores, on the twenty-fifth day of September, 1907, and it had the date of Aug. 19, 1904. JAMES MARKAY. Mr. Burnett, says the Kansas City Star, received a letter a few days ago from the hydrographlc office of the navy department telling him that the finder of the bottle and the paper had sent them to that office. The hydrographlc office Informed Mr. Burnett that it is the most remarkable drift of a bottle—20,000 miles, from tho north Pacific to the north Atlantic ocean—that has been recorded. Tunnel True to a Foot. Helena, Mont.—A remarkable feat in mining engineering was finished when, after driving for two years, less ten days, the station at the 900-foot level of the Iron Mountain mine was 'tapped by a tunnel more than a mile long at the desired spot to a foot. For years the property was a regular producer and paid a million in divi dends. It had to be abandoned because of the expense in pumping the water to so great a height. Then the tunnel was decided upon, and now the mine Is be ing unwatered by gravity. Great fear was expressed by the state mine Inspector that the heavy water pressure would cause a break and drown the workmen, but this was avoided by running a zigzag crosscut. The mine Is owned by Helena, New York, Missoula, and Philadelphia cap italists. v' Man is a Dressmaker. Cotrhcil Grove, Kas.—This city has among its citizens perhaps the only male dressmaker in Kansas. He is W. B. Baldwin, one of the old est and best known engineers on the Missouri Pacific road, who, for a num ber of years has been not only the bread-earner but the family "seam stress" for a family consisting of his wife and three daughters. His family is now in California, but Baldwin still continues to sew for thenr and sends their clothes to them In the far west. He owns a beautiful home In this city, and It is not thru pover ty, but on account of his wife's poor health and the love of the sewing ma chine and his family that he acts as dressmaker. Baby Given Poison by Mistake Dies. Chicago.—After giving her daughter a dose of carbolic acid by mistake, for cough medicine, MTS. Mildred Hardtke, 606 Melrose avenue, yester day watched by the bedside of the girl for the medicine to relieve her, and saw the child go Into convulsions and die. The daughter, Mildred, 2 years old, had been suffering •from a cold for several days. "I'll give you some cough medicine," said the mother, "and then you can go to sleep." Mrs. Hardtke did not notice that the bottle she took from the table con tained a solution of carbolic acid. A moment later the balby was writhing in pain in her mother's arms. Phy sicians were called, tout the little one was beyond help. An inquest will be a Enthralled by Boy Pianist, Raise $3,000. iSt. Louis, Mo.—Abe Morris, a pale, anaemic boy of 12, enthralled the members of the St. Louis club at a dinner last night by his rendering of Mendelssohn's concerto. His enthusiastic auditors immediate ly subscribed a fund of $3,000 to send the boy to Brussels for a, thorough musical education. The youthful pianist thought the zenith of his musical education had been reached when he played before the club and the spontaneous sub scription was a complete surprise.

When camp meeting time comes at Ocean Grove, N. J., next summer the most powerful organ In the world will greet the worshipers In the big audi torium and accompany the congrega tions in the hymu8, says the New York Times. The Ocean Grove asso ciation at a recent meeting closed a contract for an Instrument to cost $26, 000 and weigh about twenty tons Robert Hope-Jones, who built the fa mous organ in the Worcester cathedral in England, will supervise the con struction of the Instrument and has promised to have it installed -by June. Mr. Hope-Jones now lives in Elmlra. N. Y. He installed one of his Instru ments in St. Patrick's cathedral, In New York city, two years ago, and one of his organs Is to be Installed in the Cathedral of St John the Divine, in New York. The contract was award ed to him after a committee of the Ocean Grove association had consult ed some of the foremost organists in the United States. "Tho Ocean Grove instrument will be the most powerful in the world," said Mr. Hope-Jones the other night. "It will not be the largest, because with Improvements of recent years not so much space will be needed. Ii will have some devices which have never before been used. One of the most interesting of these will be an electric system which will preserve the proper tone of the Instrument, no mat ter what the weather may be. This device will be of the greatest impor tance in the Ocean Grove Auditorium, because It is so near the water. The various pipes and resonators will be wound with wires, which will be cou pled with an electrical device which automatically will keep them at the proper temperature. "The organ itself will be of remark able construction. The large organs heretofore have been divided into de partments—great, swell, choir, pedal and solo—but this one will be a unit with a few rows of keys. By the use of a Bet of stop keys, which are con nected electrically with all the various sound producing devices, any of these may be drawn on any set of keys in stantly at any pitch and any power.

Finally blended with rich, finely-flavored tomato sauce, made in the HEINZ way from tomatoes which are grown specially for HEINZ. Surely, they even surpass your ideal of what beans ought to be.

The peaceful and homelike Second ward was the scene of not a little ex citement laiit night, when neighbors interfered in. what was declared -to be a rough hou.se created by George Hen shaw of Boone, and which resulted in a call to police headquarters for pro tection. George Stlege-lmeyer, a drayman liv ing at 601 North Sixth street, died Tuesday night after a short illness due to cerebro spinal fever. The house was quarantined on the day he died and ta it at the time were the sick man, Ills wife and 6-weeks-old baby son, George Henshaw and wife, of Boone, and Mr®. G. W. Hileman, of this city. Mrs. Hileman and Mrs. Henshaw are sisters oi Stiegelmeyer, and Henshaw and his wife reached the city ifche eve ning preceding Stlegelmeyer's death. Begins to Raise Trouble. (Henshaw begaa^to raise trouble im mediately, according to the police, and has been insisting that the members of the household are starving for want of food. This claim is without founda tion, according to Deputy Marshal .Clark, the quarantine officer. Thursday evening neighbors of the Stiegelmeyers called police headquar ters and said that Henshaw had driven Mrs. Stiegelmeyer from the house, and .that she was in the back yard, crying and asking for help. Officers respond ed, and found a gathering of fifty or more people about the house. Many were women, a.nd they were in tears. Henshaw Claims Woman is Insane. Henshaw claims that Mrs. Stiegel meyer is insane. The police are not prepared to vouch for the truth of the statement, but think that it would not be surprising if such were the case, considering what the woman has gone thru during the past few days. The woman's chief trouble was that she claimed Henshaw had refused to al loW]|per to have her babe. Henshaw claimed that the woman was not fit to oare for the 'babe, and that "the infant should be weaned at once. Henshaw had taken upon himself to light several sulphur .candles, despite the police instructions that fumigation would be attended to by .the city physician. It seems that the sulphur is what drove Mrs. Stiegelmeyer from her room. Neighbor women informed the police that Mrs. Stiegelmeyer cared for her babe as well as any mother oouid. un der the circumstances. Destitution is Pitiful. The destitution apparent on every hand in the Stiegelmeyer home is piti ful to behold. When Stiegelmeyer was sick there was but one bed in the house, and that the patient occupied. Mrs. Stiegelmeyer and her babe slept on the floor, with a sack of potatoes as a pillow. Bedding and Bed Furnished. When Henshaw came he made a re quest, or rather a demand, from Of ficer Clark for bedding and a bed. He said there was an empty tick that could be used if the city woujd fur nish a bale of straw. A bale of straw was sent out, together with five new comforts, furnished by Mayor Ingledue himself, and a second-hand bed, good enough for any one to use. Last night the straw was found out in the mud, untouched, and the bed was refused because it was second-hand. Given Plenty to Eat. The quarantine officer's supply sheet shows the following articles In refuta tion of the claim made by.'Henshaw that the members of the household are starving to. death. On Monday there were sent to the Stiegelmeyer home coffee, sugar, butter, lard, a sack of flour, eggs, yeast, breakfast food, a piece of boiling meat, crackers, prunes, a sack of potatoes, kerosene, soap and coal. The Thursday order included the following: Breakfast food, coffee, eggs, bacon, beans, lard, vinegar, cheese, toilet soap, and sulphur, and Mellin's food, a bottle, and nipples for the baby. Henshaw Too Well Known. Henshaw is too well known in this city to receive much consideration on the part of the police. They have heard the same stories and had the same rough houses to contend with under other similar circumstances. The health department has under consideration the removal of Henshaw and his wife to other quarters to remain during the period of quarantine, and leaving Mrs. Stiegelmeyer in her home alone, or with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Hileman. Henshaw is the man who, on June 27, 1896, assaulted the late E. N. Cha pin, one of the pioneer newspaper men of Marshalltown, during some argu ment that arose when Henshaw was a tenant on Chapin's farm. Chapin died as a-result of his injuries, on July 29. The case, on a charge of manslaugh ter, was tried in the September term, and on Sept. 26, 1896, the jury dis agreed. On April 28, 1898, the case was dismissed on application of the county attorney, for a lack of evi dence and the opinion of the court that a conviction was impossible. MEETINGS CLOSE TONIGHT. Dr. Buckner Speaks Thursday Night on Character Building. The sermon by Dr. Buckner at the Methodist church last evening held the close attention of about 400. The text was, "Ye are the temple of God." The speaker said: "We need to know how to build character, this knowledge being of paramount importance to fathers and mothers. We are the temples of God. and the main entrances to this? temple are the eye and ear. It is important that theaa entrances be carefully •.n- guarded, especially in the impression able period of youth. "Haw much harm is done by flaming colored bill boards and blood and thun der novels, suggesting to immature minds thoughts of violence, impurity and crime. First come Impressions, then thoughts. ideals, convictions, character. Character is determined largely by the kiml of material that enters in thru the gateways of the soul. "in our temple, there is a depart ment called sensibilities, and this has two divisions, one of hate and one of love. The dominion of hato is cold, narrow, sellish, uninviting the domin ion of love is warm and radiant, and from It a constant Influence of charity, sympathy and blessing extends. "The headquarters of the temple Is the will, which is exalted as a ruler on a throne, or as a judge. Oases are con stantly coming up for decision before this court. On one side judgment ap pears and makes a plea, on the other side desire presents an argument and asks for a favorable decision, and us ually will decides In favor of desire and against judgment. "Another part of the temple is intel lect and memory. On the walls of mem ory's gallery hang many pictures, some put there by others and some by our selves. We each have pictures that W3 wish were not there. We would like to blot them out and forget them, but we cannot, for memory is immortal. "Each day we are placing new pic tures In the gallery. Strive to see that none go on that will cause you shame, remorse, or sorrow in any after time." A duet was given by Mrs. M. N. Smith and Mr. Gllmore. The meetings will close tonight, -when Dr. Buckner will speak on "Who and Why." MINNIE E. ALLEN ANNOUNCES. Seeks Nomination for Second Term as County Recorder Before Primaries. In another place in this issue will be found the announcement of the can didacy of County Recorder Minnie E. Allen, who takes this means of first making public her determination to stand for renominatlon for a second term. It has become a well established precedent In Marshall county to extend to the incumbent in county offices a second term as a mark of apprecia tion for services during the first term. Mrs. Allen's friends point to the fact that she is deserving of this recogni tion, as they claim her first term has been marked with close application to duties and the conscientious and cap able performance of the work. Mrs. Al len has undoubtedly made many friends by the manner In which she has met the public and taken care of its business that came to her depart ment. She has a large acquaintance which will be of material aid to her during the coming campaign, and she lias every reason to believe that she will receive the support of the repub lican voters. The present office Is the only one Mrs. Allen has ever sought. DES MOINES TEAM PICKED. Fast Indoor Base Ball Squad Chosen to Meet Local Players. Physical Director Arthur B. Dawson, of the -Railroad Y. M. C.

The funeral will be 'held ifrom the •assembly hall at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, conducted by Chaplain Jesse Cole. Interment will follow dn the home cemetery. REMOVE LOGSDON'S BULLET. Would-Be Suicide's Chances for Re covery Increased by Extraction- of Ball. John C. Logsdon, the barber who attempted suicide a week ago by shooting, has had his chances for re covery increased by .the removal of the •ball. Surgeons located ithe bullet In the upper part of the left arm, just below the shoulder joint. The bullet had penetrated the apex of the left lung, and .took a downward course. The wound has left a suppurating cavity which is being drained, and the patient Is doing very nicely. Xt Is .believed that within a few days' time Logsdon will be removed from St. Thomas .hos pital to the home of 'his sister. Mrs. Darr, corner of Main and Second streets. WANTS MONEY RETURNED. Depositor of Green Mountain Bank Makes Application for Deposit. F. Gustafson. a depositor in the Green Mountain Savings bank, made application in the district court this morning for a return of $90, claimed to have been placed on deposit with the bank on February 19, a day or two before it was closed. The petition says that the deposit was made at a time when the bank was Insolvent, and that it was kept separate from the other funds of the bank, and was not entered on the books of the bank usu ally kept for that purpose, but was entered in separate books, and that the sum has- been kept intact. He asks that Receiver A. A. Moore be in structed to refund the money. r/ 1 Annual Convention of Marshall Association to He Held at Liscomb April 22-2 PROGRAM IS NOW PREPARED Sessions Will Be Held in Both Grace Reformed and Christian Churches of Liscomb—Mrs. Frona Scott, Liscomb, Chairman of Entertainment Com­ mittee—The Program.

"Editor T.-R.: I see by tonight's paper that a license to sell milk will probably be refused to George Monroe on account of the city sewer emptying into the river on his premises. "Now, as I buy all the milk we us'e. I am as much Interested in getting pure milk as anyone. But supposing it to be just to refuse this license for this reason, what will be done when the cows go out to pasture? "Mr. Monroe pastures a number of cows for other people, some of whom sell milk. These cows will bo subject to the same conditions. There are usually cows pastured in the Held join ing thij cemetery. This pasture is be low two sewers. "Then there are probably fifty or sixty cows pastured down by the city park. These cows will bo exposed to the same source of infection or worse, as there in a creek runs thru Mr. Mon roe's pasture, whore the cows may drink. "What will be done in regard to this? "Will the people having their cows in these pastures have their licenses revoked? 'Tours for Information, WM. PARTRIDGE. Marshalltown, la., April 2, 1908. MEAT IS HIGHER. Hogs and Cattle Both Up, and Pro ivisions Market Shows Natural Ad vance. Don't look at the butcher as tho you thought he wan robbing you when he gives you a piece of moat as small as your hand where formerly you had enough for a meal. The price of live liogs and cattle has gone up very fast during the last month and are likely to go still higher. On the 1st of March the best hogs sold on the Chicago market at $4.60, while today they are selling at $6.30. In other words they are almost 2 cents a pound, live weight, higher than a month ago, which means about 3 cents a pound higher at the butcher's. The same thing is true of cattle. On March 1 cattle were at $6.00 per 100, live weight, In Chicago, while now the best are bringing $7.40, which showed a cor responding rise at tho butcher's. The following from a livo stock paper gives the situation at the big packing centers: "Provisions have advanced faster In the last thirty days than they had re cently declined. Pork is up nearly $3.00 per barrel, lard is up %?®lo per .pound, and short ribs are 90c(g1.15 per 100 pounds higher. "Recently it was the belief that the outsider who had bought product sold by packers at low prices would have to liquidate at a loss when pork was around $11.00 for May. Yesterday it touched $13.85, and the outsiders were taking profits, while the packers were doing the buying. Packers have their cellars full of product made from hogs .that averaged under 4Va cents, which Is the lowest, average they have been able to securo since 1903. "All the professional trade in pro visions has been excessively bearish since last fall, when hogs sold down to 4 cents and conditions surrounding the provision trade have been so bear ish that most traders have not seen anything in the market to induce buy ing. "It is one of those peculiar situa tions known only to the provision trade, where the outsider has bet his money under what seemed adverse conditions and won out." MARRIED IN DES MOINES. Miss Margaret M. Meyer, of Rhodes, Weds Baxter Man. At the home of H. H. Miskimins, 314 East Twelfth street, Des Moines, Thursday evening, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Miskimins' brother, Mr. John A. Miskimins, of Baxter, and Miss Margaret M. Meyer, of Rhodes.

Dynamite Li^iit Run of .Poor Butcher fctutt Has Tendency to Main­ tain Trices HOGS DECLINE 10 TO 15 CENTS Scalpers Do IVIost of Buying But in­ quiry from Other Sources Aids Mar­ ket Late in Day,Close Being a Shade Higher Quotations at Livestock Centers. Chieagi. but few- April 3.—Cattle—There were animals of quality on sale today, most of ilie light run being made up of poor butcher stuff. Yes terday's better tone prevailed and prices closed nominally strong. It is expected that the recent break will check the movement and insure lighter receipts next week. The trou ble tills week has been that too many people have tried to take down the high prices of last week, only to litul tlieni elusive. It is such rushes that invariably demoralize a high level mar ket. The feat of preventing further slumps is up to the shipper. The visr ible supply of -cattle for the next sixty days is not excessive and ought, at least, to hold the market where it Is marketed conservatively, but the pur chasing capacity of the meat eating public is not equal to that of the high period of 1902, when industrial and commercial conditions were radically different. The average weight of cattle re ceived aL Chicago in March was 1020 lbs, against 1069 in1 February and 10t2 in -March, 1907. Hogs. The first sales were almost entirely to scalpers at 10fil5c decline, but some inquiry from oLher sources de veloped later and the close was strong to a shade higher than early transac tions. The break Wednesday Is generally regarded as a freak. From all that can be learned it has not disturbed coun try confidence in the least, and pack ers will need to make a further dem onstration of their ability as bears to start a run such as would conic If the grower expected .permanently lower prices. The March average weight of hogs received at Chicago was 212 lbs., the same as In February. In March, 1907, the average was 22S lbs. Altho provision stocks are much heavier than a year ago, the fact must not be overlooked that the accumula tion was then light, the crop having been held back to nurse the market. Conditions this year have been re* versed and the pack was put up earlier. Sheep. Sheep were steady on light trading. More sheep have been sent in this week than for a month past for the reason that they were selling unus ually high. This lias caused a sharp drop in values, $6.60 being about the limit for the choicest shorn wethers under present conditions. The ^heep deal has been hurt, because exporters have cleaned up their steamer space and are no longer forced to buy re gardless of price to fill It. The average weight of sheep re ceived at Chicago last week was S6 lhs. against 84 in .February and 86 in March, 190". Chicago Livestock. Chicago. April 3.

Chicago Man Tells Senate Com­ mittee Six Men Control Bus­ iness of West FEDERAL AID IS URGED Alleged Jugglery in Elevators Offered as Plea for Inauguration of Inspec­ tion System—Witness Calls Trading a Pawnbroker's Game—Gambling the Life of Trade. Washington, April 3.—S. If. Oreole.V, a. commission merchant, of Chicago, who says that he has been for twenty seven years a member of the. board of trade of Chicago, gave 'the, sc.nute committee on agriculture an hour of the liveliest kind of testimony iri favor of the McCuni'ber grain inspection bill. Mr. Greeley is at the head of a con tingent of formers who came to favor the adoption of the Aid'umber meas ure on the ground that slate inspec tion and every other system ol' in spection of grain heretofore tried has been a failure. The remarks of Mr. Greeley made considerable impression on the mem bers of the agricultural committee, and he was constantly interrupted and asked to explain many phases of grain dealing as carried on in Chicago. Mr. Greeley asserted that the pub lic warehouse receipts of the city of 'liicago are a joke, ami that nobody places any reliance upon them when purchasing grain. He maintained that three-fourths of the grain storage capacity of Chicago is under the control of six linns, and named the following: Peave.v Grain company. Central Ele vator company. Calumet company, South Chicago Elevatvr company. Ar mour Grain company and Kosenbaum Grain company. Six Men "Own"' Chicago Trade "Tills crowd has managed to get control of the entire public elevator service of Chicago," said Mr. Greeley, "and they are manipulating this ad vantage for their own gain, and not in the interest of th? public." He then proceeded to explain the system. Which' he termed showed up the 'inefficiency of state grain inspec tion, and which gave to the farmer the smallest price tht could possibly be given him for his grain. This system, lie said, consisted of a series of deferred deliveries, and the doctoring of grain shipments in such a manner that when the persons .pur chasing grain for future delivery came to inspect their purchases at delivery (time, they found themselves coming into possession of such an inferior quality of grain that they refused con signment and sold the delivery to some one else. This, he said, resulted in keeping the price down. Mr. Greeley said that the system of doctoring or "plugging" grain was be ing followed In Chicago every day. and that It was worked for the purpose of keeping the price at a low level a long as there was any grain to be bought by the six concerns, which, he said, controlled the industry in Chica go. As proof of this assertion he read the Saturday, April 4th, 1908 EGGS Fop Hatching Barred Plymouth RocK FROM BOTH PULLET AND COCKEREL MATING.

C. report of a committee appointed by the board of directors of the Chicago Hoard of Trade, to investigate certain statements concerning the opera lions of the J. llosenbau li company in 1905. Tills committee, according to the re port, found 125 cars of "plugged" wheat which had b.eii loaded trom the Irondale elevator In such manner that many bushels of screenings were con cealed beneath good wheat. Nearly the whole, consignment of 125 cars was passed by the inspectors as No. 2 red. An investigation j| tins case resulted in the discharge ot two emplojes. which Mr. Greeley said were merely scapegoats, llo asserted that, the oni ploves of the elevators at Chicago in general knew of tile custom of plug ging cars and cargoes of wheat v\ith Inferior gram and screenings. "Inasmuch as lh^ price ot gram to the farmer Invariablv is ing to tlnj speculative demand." -said Mr. Greeley, "the system of public warehousemen in maintaining an infer ior (|tialit.v of grain for the edification of those who bought on a future deliv ery basis resulted I keeping the price of grain down, and It has been kept down for years. Calls it Pawnbrokers' Game. "The panic of IS:Ki at Chicago was created by this ring. It is a pawnbrok ers' game, and the system has as its ally the grain inspection service of the state. "Ever since 1890 that service has been unreliable. There is not a man who will buy grain on a public ware house receipt. He riust see the grain. It is a fact generall.v known that every commission merchant maintains his private inspector and persons" who watch each shipmei t." To prevent the evil of which he complains, Mr. Greeley said it was the duty of tile state of Illinois to see that grain in public warehouses was so mixed that tiie average quality of it should be fair and not to allow half a do/.en concerns to manipulate the price of grain by maintaining an inferior quality for exhibition to those who have made purchases of grain for fu ture delivery, and :hus scuring tiieni into sacrificing their allotments. He said that, the 05.000 farmers with whom he had talked, and whom be bad addressed in the west at their various Institutes, were in favor of a federal inspection law, mainly because the state law has been failure. Senfttor Uolllver tried to get Mr. Greeley to agree with him that the whole cause of dissatisfaction among farmers is the systtm of gambling in food product purchases and sales, in stead of buying and selling them out right. Mr. Greeley took issue with Senator Dolliver on this score and said: "No. we do not want to do away with the gambling. It is that feature which gives life to the business. What we want, however, is honest inspec tion and the cessation of the frauds that are now being perpetrated on wheat producers by public warehouse men." The committee on agriculture dur ing the day listened to the remarks of a number of grain growers of the middle west who favored the McCum ber measure. FOR SALE!
