VOLUME THIRTY-FOUR. ill Speaker Cannon's Resolution Passed and Committee Will Start Ir. vestigation DALZELL FALLS'. =INTO LINE Declares Tariff Has Not Affected Price and That Combination of Manufac turers Exists—President Will Sign Liability Bill—Gets Favorable Opin ion From Bonaparte. Washington, April 21—The house to dfiy adapted Speaker Cannon's resolu tion Huthnri-inr the appointment of a ommittee to investigate the so-caneu paper trust, and the general subject of wood pulp, manufacture' of printing papers, etc.' ^-.,T %"he resolution provides for a select ^^Committee of six, and was passed un der suspension of the rules. In explan ation of the resolution, Dalzell said that it was a matter of public notoriety that there had been a large increase in the price of paper. Never, he de clared, had there been such agitation as had been aroused by the newspa pers in the last few weeks. While there was a concensus of opinion, he said, as to the increase, there was no concensus as to the cause of that in crease. It was, he said, capable of mathematical demonstration that the increase was not due to the tariff, and he contended that it would not be changed by the removal of the tariff. However that may be, he said, there were those who believed the -increase was due to a combination or trust, and that it was necessary to get facts upon which to base a bill to meet the case. In the opinion of Williams, the rise jji price is due "both- to the tariff and combination, and the combination is due "to the'tariff." If, he said, it had been intended to to kill the ,combination, it could have been done by putting wood pulp aid. print paper on the free list De Armond ^declared the, resolution was but another attempt of the repub licans delude the people, and make them believe that there is an attempt to do something, when the direct at tempt is to do nothing. Will Sign Liability Bill. Washington, April 21.—As the result of an opinion rendered to the president by Attorney General Bonaparte at a cabinet meeting today, it is believed the president will sign the employers' liability bill. It was semi-officially admitted that the president, will sign, the bill today. He has accepted the opinion of the at torney general that the bill is consti tutional, and has waived any suspicion he might have had to the contrary. The president is convinced that the bill Will stand a test in the courts. Report Favors McCall Bill. Washington, April 21.—The McCall bill, requiring a publicity campaign of contributions, was today reported fav orably to the house by the committee on election of president, vice president, and representatives in congress. Secretary Loeb Scores Sims Washington, April 21.—Secretary Loeb today made public a letter writ ten to Representative Sims, of Tennes see, in reply to Sims' speech in the house yesterday regarding Loeb's con-- nection with the Washington Railway •nd Electric Company. Loeb calls on Sims for immediate retraction, and •ays the^ statement of Sims was false In its effect, misleading in its imputa tion and unfair to him and to the rep resentatives' sense of rectitude and fcaaor. ft A "DO NOTHING" PROGRAM. 8enate Steering Committee Confers on I®, Future Action. Washington, April 21.—At a meeting of the republican steering committee of the senate today the legislative pro gram was discussed, but no. decision was- reached to add any important measures to those, destined for enact ment at the present session of con press. In regard to currency legisla tion It was stated that if the house pfucred the .bill providing for a com mission to investigate financial matters the senate would immediately receipt of the measure vote to add the done in the senate, with concurrence in A 1 A. the provision for a coft mission to sit during the recess of congress to con sider currency matters. Hale told his colleagues on the orn TOittee that the sentiment of the sen ate was against the four battleships scheme advocated by the president and that it would be useless to try to get appropriation for more than two battle ships at this session. It appeared from tile discussion that there were few measures in addition to appropriation bills that have any prospect for pas sage at the present session. Beveridge declared it 'to be bal pol itic.'. for congress to adjourn without passing some measures desired by the president and that the "do nothing" mixed. 5.354r5.45 light. 5.40fi'5."0. pclicy would bo* heard of in the com ing campaign. Altho no date for ad journment was considered it was gon- erally agreed that the business of the session could be concluded alfout the middle of May unless the minority fili buster in the house should prolong the session. Beveridge opposed adjourn ment without an effort to carry out the president's policy or some action showing a disposition to revise the tar iff, such as the appointment of a com mission. To ignore these things, he said, would be a grave mistake. CAPTAIN MATHEWS DEAD. Cedar Falls Veteran Was in Anderson ville Prison Six Months.

The mound is unlike any that have been opened in the west. Thus far little or no pottery has been discovered.

It is thought that in case there should be a prosecution against the members of the Ames Commercial Club, possibly some arrangement could be made so that only one or two of them be imprisoned at one time, so that the business affairs of Ames need not toe so seriously interfered with.

Special to Times-Republican. Nevada, April 21.—The history of Story county has been marred by an other murder, which seems to have been deliberate. The victim is Otto Dolph, a young farmer who lived alone on the Dunahoo place five miles north of Collins, in the southeast portion of the county. No motive has been re vealed for the crime, and a coroner's inquest is being held here todav to de termine if possible a clue that may lead to the identity of the murderer. The body of Dolph was founa in an unused shed on the farm, with his head .shattered by a charge from a shotgun and with a gaping wound caused by some blunt instrument. First Thought to Be Accident. The first reports that came from Collins were t,o the effect that there was no doubt that it was an accident, but Coroner Hansen, of Cambridge, who was called and made an investi gation, said that in his opinion it was not a case of accident, but one of murder, and an inquest w^s ordered. While none of the neighbors or friends had seen the young man since about Friday, nothing strange was thought of the matter until he failed heart, Miss Hattie Cooper, of Collins, at the appointed time to attend church, Sunday evening. Waiting for some time after the hour when he was to appear, the young, lady became un easy and prevailed upon her father to go out to the farm and see what was the occasion of the young man failing to come to town, she apparently hav ing a strong notion that all was not right or the young man would either have called at the appointed hour or notified her of the cause of his failure to do so. Finding of the Body. Mr. Cooper, accompanied by Messrs. Granger and Ulum, arrived at the place and finding no one at the house, made an investigation at the barn, only to find unmistakable evidence that there had been no one about the place for some little time. They made a thorough search of the barn loft, gran aries, cnibs, etc., and failed to find any clue to the missing man, until they en- we noon and traced her from her home ghastly sight that met their eyes, un in the western part of this city to Ep worth, fifteen miles southwest, landing there about 9 o'clock last night.

While the majority of the people of it., neigh borhood insist that it was a case of accidental killing. Coroner Hanson holds the theory of murder the most probable, owing to the circumstances, while there are others who talk of sui cide. The young man was evidently killed on Friday afternoon, as it was in the forenoon that he was last seen, and his team was still harnessed in tiie barn, and weak for the want of food. He was to have driven to Ne vada on, Saturday, after a marriage license, and it was the anxiety of his sweetheart, Miss Hattie Cooper, of Collins, over his non-appearance on Sunday evening, that led to the dis I covery of his body. His head was split open from the center of the fore head almost to the base of the brain. DOLLIVER SAYS HE'S COMING. Accepts Speaking Invitation and Says He Isn't Afraid of Results. Special to Times-Republican. Clinton, April 21.—Senator Dolliver disputes that he is keeping out of the Iowa campaign because he fears Alli son's defeat. Senator Dolliver has been invited by Clinton people to be present and make a speech at the organization of an Allison club. In reply to a let ter written by a prominent citizen he says: "I have your letter in behalf of the friends of Senator Allison in Clinton county, inviting me to speak at Clin ton on the 1st of May. In reply I wil'. say that I will be glad to comply with this request. I see that the anti-Alli son newspaper correspondents at Des Moines, with characteristic disregard for the truth, have sought to spread abroad the report that I have given up my intention of making additional •speeches in the old senator's behalf. It is true that at the time I originally ex pected to return to Iowa early in the winter it was not thought by our friends that the time was opportune to inaugurate a speaking campaign. As •the session of congress has advanced I have found myself engrossed here in the necessary work of the committees of which I am a member, and have not been able, until within the last few days, to see my way clear to taking part in a campaign of speech making in Iowa. It is a singular sidelight on the degredations of bossism in some quarters that a man charged with im portant public business should feel any constraint of duty to attend to it. It seems ridiculous in the Des Moines at mosphere that a public official should have any occupation important enough to interfere with speech-making. Since that has been my situation up to un til now, I have not ventured to hope that my delay in coming to Iowa would be understood by the correspondents. "I am glad however, to say that the work of the session is now well in hand and that I have completed my arrangements with the senator's com mittee to spend a little time at home in behalf of Iowa's 'Grand Old Man.' Not that I think that speeches are neces sary, for his lifetime of unselfish devo tion to the public service is a sufficient argument in his behalf. I came to Iowa therefore, only with a view to strength ening the purpose, which I feel sure is in the hearts of the great mass of our people, to protect from the meanness of factional politics the most prec ious possession of Iowa—the name and fame of our old leader. "With cordial personal regards I am, very respectfully yours, "J. P. DOLLIVER." SUDDEN DEATH NEAR ELDORA. Mrs. Catherine Macy's Illness Was Not Thought to Be Serious. Special to Times-Republican. Eldora. April 21.—Mrs. Catherine Macy. residing southeast of Eldora, died very suddenly yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Macy had been in her usual health until Saturday night and her sickness was not thought to be serious. She was born In Davidson county.

Judging from the condition of the body when it was found, and from the stock about 1 In* place, it is supposed that the man had been dead since PYi ilay al least and possibly longer.

Further Evidence of Dissatisfaction With Campaign Management. Des Moines, Apr:.l 21.—The breach in the Allison ranks because of dissatis faction with the management of the senatorial campaign is widening. Jul ien Richards wants Ed Hunter, who managed Perkins' campaign for gov ernor, and almost won, and now Charles D. Hellen, editor of the Des Moines Tribune, backs Richards in his demands. Hellen has made an at tack on John T. Adams, Allison's man ager, in which he says: "If Senator Allison should be de feated in the primary election on June 2 it will be_because of the fact that there 'has been- placed in charge' of his campaign a man of inexperience, who knows nothing about the game of pol itics a man who has been out of har mony with 'that wing of the party with which Allison and his colleagues have been allied for years, a man who has not been in harmony with the chief supporters of the senator -in Iowa and whose actions would indicate that he did not care for any such affiliation. His campaign lacks those elements of force and enthusiasm so essential to success and which has dominated every battle won by Governor Cummins dur ing the past eight years. The Allison forces are at sea—scattered, disorgan ized and dissatisfied—without a leader of ability and shrewdness in political maneuvering, and yet with an arro gance 'that would rule or ruin any cause. "Perkins went down to defeat by pursuing the same methods in the be ginning of his campaign two years ago. When too late he placed his cause in the hands of experienced men and even with the great handicap of misman agement upon them by a progressive and incompetent manager, they almost wrested the victory from defeat and put up one of the hottest fights against the opposition ever known in Iowa. "The early campaign inaugurated by Perkins is being repeated by Senator Allison, at variance only from the fact that the discouraging and disastrous methods are being continued with the primary election only five weeks in the future. It may be possible that Dolliver, Lacey. Jackson arid some of the old wheelhorses of the party may come to the rescue in time to save the vener able senator from defeat. "Wise and experienced leadership is needed. It is no time, for boys' play. It is no time to educate men in the kindergarten of politics. It is also a lack of wisdom to convert a "progres sive" by placing tlvs reins of leadership in his hands when such importance at taches to his work With the return of Dolliver to 'the state and the sound iudgment of men like Major Lacey, a campaign may yet be organized which will save the day in.

More than 20,000 signatures were on the jufpers filed yesterday. About 20,000 re main to be filed. It is possible that not all will be filed, however, as the names are being copied by the committee in charge of the senatorial campaign and the task» may not be completed by Thursday, when the time expires for filing nomination papers and petitions.

With Garst and Smith He Ad dresses Large Audience and is Well Received STATE CONVENTION SENTIMENT Governor Calls Attention to Fact That Not 8 Per Cant of Vote Was Repre sented—Charges of Extravagance Riddled—Freight Rates and the Tar iff Question. Special to Times-Republican. Grinnell, April 21.—The body of the Colonial theater was well filled last evening when the curtain rose at 8 o'clock for the speech of Governor Cummins. Brooklyn, Montezuma and other surrounding towns had promi nent representatives in the audience and upon the stage. In the absence of President Main, of Iowa College, who had been previously selected as chair man of the meeting, Hon. C. AV. Car ter was made the presiding officer. While waiting for the College Glee Club, Mr. Carter introduced Hon. James A. Smith, of Osage, who made brief preliminary remarks. After a medley song from the glee club, and the usual encore, Senator Warren Garst was Introduced and made a for cible speech upon the issues under consideration in Iowa at the present time. He took issue with Mr. Smith, who had expressed himself as glad that there was the prefix "progressive" to the republican party, by saying that the word republican needed no prefix, that it was all embracing in itself. He spoke at some 'ength on the question of appropriations and expenditures of the state. After another song by the glee club Governor Cummins was in troduced. The governor was pleased to say that Grinnell, whatever her political sentiments might be, had certainly a progressive glee club. He then made the statement that as governor of the state of Iowa he came here with an equal interest in all its citizens, wheth er republican or democrat, "progres sive" or "standpatter." In the course of his speech, which occupied about an hour and a half, he eulogized Ibarra bee, La Follette and Roosevelt, and spoke In high praise of the men who had stood for the best interests of the people In recent state legislation. Speaking of the new primary law, and the advantage given by it to the people at large, he stated that the recent state convention at Des Moines did not rep resent 8 per cent of the voters of the respective precincts. Regarding the result of the primary vote on the sec ond of the coming June, ho said, "If in the coming primary my distin guished adversary receive one vote more than I, he shall receive my most hearty support by word and action." Governor Cummins looked thin and worn in body by his continuous and strenuous exertions and the worry over the illness of his grandchild, but his speech had all its old time vigor and enthusiasm was not lacking in his au dience. There was a considerable pro portion of women in the audience and many young men and boys large enough to vote in a few years. Governor Cummins said in part: As to Extravagance. "It is I know suggested, because I read it in a newspaper that" the admin istration of which I have been a part has been extravagant, lawlessly ex travagant, foolishly reckless, and that the treasury is now bankrupt. With re gard to the last statement I simply say It Is not true. When I left home as I remember it, there was as a whole in the treasury not far from $500,000. 'It Is less than the balance in the treasury when I became governor that much is entirely true. But that the state of Iowa has any difficulty whatsover in answering the de mands made upon her, comes from an uniformed or a malicious man, one or the other. (Applause.) The amount in the treasury at any given time depends first upon the appro priations that axe made by the gen eral assembly, for not one penny la or can be paid out by any public of ficer that has not been appropriated by the legislature of the state. And it depends second upon the amount that is contributed to the treasury in the form of taxation. If the leg islature makes appropriations larger than the amount it requires, the ex ecutive council to raise bf taxation, then your treasury will, as a mathe matical proposition, be empty. If, on the contrary, it makes appropria tions less than the amount it re quires to be raised, your treasury will be full. The man, however, who desires to be fair and who wants to be honest with his fellow men, will not look at the condition of the treasury but will examine the appro priations that have been made, in or der to determine whether the state Is extravagant or whether it Is econ omical. The appropriations of the state of Iowa are made by a general assembly composed now I believe of one hundred and fifty-eight men, for merly one hundred and fifty men. As I recall it there has not been a con siderable appropriation made, not only during my administration, but lor years, that has not been made with substantial unanimity by the votes of all the members, whether they were republicans or democrats, whether they were progressives or standpatters. There is no such feel ing enters the legislature of our state. They discharge their duties without regard to their political as sociations or factional alignments. "I do not want to shield myself be hind the legislature, altho I mi more ti th lliau you have with the amount of that I might bill. But I do not want behind the action of the either, for I tell you that with one or two trifling exceptions, there has not been an appropriation made by the general assembly since became governor that did not meet my un iContinmd £4 Fourth •V-,Cl'W fil ztxsjsmm A ^%wra-1B^mMlemrf fttantafflimim, ?»»a. £prii 2 190S MONTEZUMA MAN VERY ILL.

Many at Mason City Yesterday Re fused to Return to Work. Special to Times-Republican. Mason City, April 21.—The invitation on the part of the owners of the Ma son City Brick Tile industries, to re sume work Monday, was accepted by the men only in part. The majority of the strikers found positions else where, or are holding out against the plants and still maintain they will not return under present conditions. They have their spies out watching the men, to see who returns to work. The strike, which is only partially broken, cost the owners in profits many thousands of dollars, and the business men much in loss of trade.

Read the letter. Mrs. E. Brigden, 312 East Adams St., Syracuse, N. Y., states: "Until I used Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills, I was never free from attacks of distressing neuralgia in cold months, and suffered from a draft even in summer time. Other remedies relieved only, but these Nerve Pills stopped the attacks, due I believe to their building up power." Neuralgia and nervous headaches are always an indication of exhausted nerves.

Special to Times-Republican. Ottumwa, April 21.—This city was shocked last night by news of the sui cide of iFrank M. Harman, a promin ent resident of Ottumwa, who was found dead in his bachelor quarters at 8:30 o'clock, with a bullet hole in his forehead. Harman evidently committed suicide some time the night previous. The body was clothed only in under garments and lay on the floor directly in front of the dressing table, on which was a new 38-caliber revolver with one chamber empty. The suicide was discovered by a friend of the dead man, who. being un able to get any response from knock ing at Harinan's door, went outside, climbed a fire escape to the room and discovered the tragedy. No cause is as signed for the deed, tho Harman has been ill for the past few days. Harman was 57 years old. and came to Ottumwa about forty years ago. He .lias a brother. J. S. Harman, living in Tecumseh. Neb., and several relatives in Ottumwa. MOWER CUTS OFF FINGERS. Little Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, .of Boone, Injured. Special to Times-Republican. Boone. April 21.—Monday evening about 7 o'clock, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, of this city, was painfully injured. The Lewis fam ily reside across the street from the Joe Raglow family. The little Raglow child was pushing a lawn mower, and •the Lewis girl was playing nearby. In some manner she got her hands near the knife blades, and had three of her fingers cut off. Her cries of pain brought neighbors .hurriedly to the scene, and doctors were summoned, who cared for the injury and made the little one as comfortable as possible. STRUCK IN EYE. Mr. Lund, Sioux Rapids, May Lose Sight—Injury an Accident. Special to Times-Republican. Sioux Rapids, April 21.—While help ing pound carpet at the bachelor head quarters, Mr. Lund, proprietor of the Ideal barber shop, accidently got hit in the eye by his pardner's stick. It was necessary to go to Spencer to have an operation performed. Mr. Lund will be very lucky if his sight is saved and the vision will probably be blurred the best the doctors can do. TEXAS OFFICER SHOT. Former lowan Possibly Fatally Wound ed by Alleged Murderer. Iowa City, April 21.—O. R. Mont gomery, chief of police of Fort Worth. Tex., was shot and possibly fatally wounded by an alleged murderer, whom he was trying to arrest, says a message to Montgomery's sister. Mrs. Dan Leuz, of Iowa City.

New Sharon, April 18.—Our newly elected Mayor Shannon, in order to show in a practical manner thaC his heart is in the right place, sent :ibout sixty or seventy pounds of candy, over to Superintendent* of Schools Gordon, to be distributed Thursday morning to the scholars in the building. The scholars of the high school in a re cent mock! test vote, previous to the local election, elected Mr. Shannon to the office of mayor. Rev. Clark, the new Presbyterian minister, has arrived, and has moved into the parsonage. He comes from Dysart. His wife will arrive a little later. An accident to the pumping machin ery caused a slight hitch at the elec tric light plant and the town hal no light Thursday night. The Odd Fellows' committee has succeeded in arranging for special trains on both the Central and Lynn ville branch roads, for the anniversary to be held here April 23rd. Two bands will be in attendance. Humboldt. The Humboldt Cement Tile Works have finished about 4,000 cement blocks, some of which will be used in their new building. This structure will be 130 feet by 80 feet, and will be the latest and most up-to-date build ing of its kind in this portion of the state. Algona. Quite a large delegation went from Algona recently to locate on land in the northwestern part of South Da Kota, but nearly all of them have re turned very much disgusted with their "wild goose chase." They say that they were promised land at $1.25 per acre, but there was nothing to be had at that price except in the bad lands, and there it is worthless. The whole appears to have been a scheme to get $25 from each for locating them. Hampton. B. F. Ferris had rather a costly ex perience the other day, and' one which he will not care to repeat. While burn ing brush and dry leaves at his place on Bridge street, the flames swept thru a tine block of about 600 ever green trees, and before they could be controlled over 100 were killed by the heat and flames, and it took strenu ous work on the part of Mr. Ferris and several neighbors to save the re mainder. Tipton. Richard Hill, one of the pioneer set tlers of this county, passed away last Thursday at home south of Tipton. He had been in declining health for several iiM»uliis and his death was not unlooked for. Mr. Hill came to this county in li4'!, from West Virginia, and settled oh a farm in Center town ship. For many years he was active and prominent in the local affairs of the community in which he lived, serv ing in various township offices. Manchester. Th« old Secnnd brlgadp. consisting of the Twenty-flrst, Twenty-second Section of Marshall County Where Fertility and Prosper ity Always Prevail FARMS ARE NOT NEGLECTED Tenanted Farms Near Green Mountain Not Distinguished From Those Oc cupied by Owners An Objection to Macadamized Roads C. E. Wil­ son's Rural Observations. Special to Times-Republican. Green Mountain, April 21.—This lo cality enjoys the reputation of being one of the very best farming commun ities in central Iowa. As the traveler drives thru the country he passes miles of farms just undulating enough to afford perfect natural drainage, the ap pearance of the soil indicates unsur passed fertility, the improvements are well abreast of the times, the people are prosperous, and it would be dif ficult to find a region better adapted to farming and stock raising than this. Twenty years ago these farms were to be bought for twenty to twenty-five dollars per acre. They are selling now at an advance of a hundred dollars above'those figures when they are sold at all, landlords here appearing to pos sess the faculty of realizing the worth of their farms and withholding them generally from the market. In common wth other parts of the county and in sharp contrast with some portions of the state it is impossible to distinguish by appearances the farms which are rented from those operated by the owners themselves. This is possibly accounted for by the fact that the val ue of the land and the high rent that it commands renders it unprofitable to either owner or tenant to neglect any thing either in the way of iield culti vation or care and maintenance of im provements. One of the influential and public spirited farmers of the community ex pressed his views of road improvement the other day, in substance as follows: "Sooner or later this county will try the experiment of macadamizing the public highways. The plan will never be a success here because of the cost of material. If a road could be built that would need no further attention nfter completion, the idea might be feasible but repairs would be neces sary 'the same as In the case of the present-day road. If the grades were all put in first class condition, then smoothed and kept smooth with the drag, there would be little complaint heard of dirt roads. Divide the dis tricts into smaller parts and pay men to keep them' in the condition at all times of the year, that will result from a persistent and intelligent use of the road drag and stone roads will be un necessary. The drilling of deep wells over the country frequently bring to light evi dences of startling and sudden changes that took place in some remote period of time. Mr. I. Erickson, a farmer on a Gilman mail route had a well sunk lecently and at a depth of about 50 feet pieces of decayed wood were brought to the surface, very similar in appearance to half rotted branches of trees to be found lying on the ground In any grove. It is told on good au thority that several years ago a man near the town of Belle Plaine while digging a well found far below the sur face enclosed In a sort of covering a number of wild crab-apples in a per fect state of preservation even retain ing their color and taste. How long they had remained there and the oc currence that resulted in their being left there can only be imagined. Mr. W. G. Keen owner of one of the fine farm homes in this locality, has in his possession a rare relic of civil war times. Mr. Keen's childhood days were spent on a farm In Mary­ FROM ALL OVER IOWA and Twenty-third Iowa and the Eleventh Wisconsin regiments, will hold its first and probably last reun ion at Vicksburg, May 22, it being the 45th anniversary of the assault of Vicksburg in 1863, where this old bri gade was so conspicuous. The indica tions are that a party of at least 150, possibly more, will join 'this trip for the reunion referred to. Knoxville. George Sammons, of Knoxville, and T. T. Terrier, of Aurora, 111., both ex pert sheep shearers, removed the wool from nine car loads of sheep for Cella Shivvers last week, finishing the job late Thursday evening. Mr. Terrier uses clippers driven by a gasoline en gine, and shears an average of about 130 to 140 per day. With the hand sheers an expert will remove from 75 to 85 fleeces in ten hours. The Shiv vers sheep turned out fleece averaging about eight pounds each. Emmetsburg. Sunday was quite a day at th: Methodist church of this city. It was what was called Decision Day and on this day the door of the church was thrown open for the reception of mem bers. Seven members came in by letters from other churches. Twelve who had been on probation came into full membership into the church. Seven came into the church on probation. A number were baptized and following the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered. Clarion. Clarion can now boast of a drum corps. Several attempts havt* been made in the pa.Jt .to organize a corps here but the efforts have never suc ceeded until this week. The organi zation at present consists of three fifes, three snare drums and two bass drums, and they had their first prac tice Tuesday evening under the direc tion of S. T. Fisk, of Rowan.

The flag that floated over the fortification was obtained by the Keen family at the close of the war and is now a treasured memento of the thrilling days of the .sixties. The tattered folds of the old emblem of the union have been care fully sewed together, and a few stais added, otherwise it is in the same con dition as when hauled down more than forty years ago. The traveler visiting a community in which he is unacquainted, if he has any regard for human sensitiveness or a desire to gain the good will of all the men he may meet, will do well before he starts out to ascertain the name and location of a few of the old est settlers living along the line. One instance that occurred not long ago illustrates this proposition. Driving up one evening to a yard in which an old man stood. I asked him to tell me whose place it was. Thrusting the pitchfork he was using into a haystack he gave his visitor a look in which re proach and contempt seemed to be mingled in about equal proportions, and finally answered, "Well, I'll be darned! I supposed everybody knew this place and me. I am the oldest settler in this part of Wright county. I hunted deer over these prairies, I suppose, before you were born. Where have you been all this time that you don't know these things?" Then he told his name, picked up his fork and began his work again, without exhib iting anv desire for further conversa tion. C. E. WILSON. BEED'S LAKE IMPROVEMENTS. Better Transportation Facilities Need ed Between There and Hampton. Special to Times-Republican. Hampton. April 21.—It is announced that Beed's lake and the picnic grounds adjacent, are soon to be thrown open to the public for the season of 1908. John A. Personett. of Chapin. who so satisfactorily conducted affairs there last summer, has again leased the grounds and it is stated, will add several features that are sure to make this resort more popular than ever. Among them, .a modern steamboat Is promised, besides an enlargement of the ehute-the-ehutes. Several new rowboats are also expected to be placed in commission. It is only within the last year or two that much has been done to add to the natural features of the place, hut nevertheless it has become popu lar with Franklin county people. With the grounds high and dry as they are, tie splendid natural oak grove, spring water, boating, fishing, bathing and other features that abound, our people are indeed fortunate. But one thing seems needful to make it an ideal summer resort, and that is better transportation facilities between there and this city. The new Short Line right of way is but a few rods east of the mill, and it has been hoped that that road would provide a siding and facilities for freight and passenger traffic to and from the mill and lake, but so far nothing has been heard con cerning it. Items From Chapth. Special to Times-Republican. Chapin, Aproil 21.—Messrs. Randolph and Withers are painting the "M. W. A." hall.

A few days ago the family of Ed. Billings, a young man who works in the Gates blacksmith shop, were se vere sufferers from a case of pto maine poisoning, which afterwards appeared to develop from eating a pudding in which were some raisins. Both Mr. and Mrs. Billings, as well as two of the children, suffered from the attack. An examination showed that some of the raisins in the jiackage from which had been used had turned green from some cause, and were doubtless poison. The family are now recovering. r* Mt. Pleasant.

Des Moines, April 21.—The Iowa weather and crop bulletin for the week ending April 20, issued today, indi cates that farm work is far advanced and that crop conditions were never better. The bulletin says: The conditions during the past week have been unusually favorable for tarm work and the growth and devel opment of vegetation, there being an excess of temperature and sunshine, and sufficient moisture for present needs. The temperature was above normal in ail sections of the state, the average daily excess ranging from three degrees in the southeastern to about ten degrees in the northwestern counties. Freezing temperature was, however, general on the morning of the 16th, but owing to a dry atmos phere and brisk winds, no frost was observed and no damage was done. Practically clear weather prevailed except on the 17th, when showers oc curred in all sections except Appa noose county. The rainfall was below the normal, and was extremely light in eastern, southern and southwestern districts, but over the upper two-thirds of the Des Moines River valley and the extreme northwestern counties the amounts ranged from .50 to 1.50 inch. Farm work has progressed rapidly under such favorable conditions, and the seeding of small grain is about completed except in the extreme north ern counties, and a large acreage has been plowed for corn. Oats are up in southern districts and show fairly good stand. Winter grains and clover are in excellent condition, and the prospects l'or fruit crops were never better. Reports indicate that stock is generally in poor condition in northern counties where winter feed was scarce, and that there will be an average number of spring pigs. 4 A. E. MANCHESTER PROMOTED.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick building, New York, N. Y. A CONDITION IN IOWA. A peculiar phase of every campaign which has been waged in the repub lican party against Cummins is that those opposed to him have always been republicans with a mental reservation and usually with an iron clad agree ment between the narrow leadership that assumes to speak for the Cum mins opposition. Thus last campaign we were confronted with the plain in tent to take away the nomination perforce if it could be done in the face of the majority and failing that an un holy alliance between the Cummins haters and the democrats to defeat the republican nominee for governor at the polls. This year similar conditions and similar conspiracies exist. If Cum mins is named in the majority report of the primaries it is not only hinted but in many cases plainly announced that every effort will be made by his political enemies in the first rank to defeat the will of the republicans by the election of a democrat. As one very prominent northern Iowa democrat put it, "watch Porter's smoke when the Cummins majority is returned from the primaries." The democratic party of the state is counting on a certain large standpat support in the legislature should Cummins be nominated as con fidently as it looked for aid, comfort and abetment in the last gubernatorial campaign. We have descended in Iowa from conflct upon issues to personal assas sination. It has come to this that cer tain leaders of the corporate gangsters who have found their political occupa tions gone or at least greatly circum scribed and limited are ready to cut the throat of the party in order to kill a man and a principle of government approved over and over again by the popular vote. It was so wiien the gang carried its vote to the Porter camp last campaign. It Is true again this year. The desperation of the discredited and exposed has gone to the farthest length. It failed before. It will fail again. Iowa will scarcely become a party to a conspiracy with political assassination and party treachery as its moving im pulse. The vote in the primary booth with no master looking except God and conscience, it will be of a character to discourage conspiracy. JOHN N. BALDWIN. Death claimed a brilliant man when John N. Baldwin died. Nature en dowed him with brains, a strong per sonality and a genial disposition. Added to his ability, education equipped him l'or a work of usefulness in the public service. Baldwin ex celled as a Ia\yyer, as an orator and as a politician. He might have excelled in the same measure as a statesman. In this respect his life was a failure. John N. Baldwin was satisfied to de vote his talents and his energies to the services of a large corporation. He participated in politics as a matter of business. Instead of assuming leader ship to which his abilities entitled him, he was content to act as a political boss, and as such could outgeneral our own Mr. Blythe. In public life Mr. Baldwin might have assumed a con spicuous place. Instead, he devoted himself to the practice of his profes sion, in which he was learned. He made several brilliant political ad dresses, but his participation In poli tics was for the purpose of conserving the corporate interests to which he was intensely loyal. His oratorical qualifications on sev eral occasions forced him into promi nence politically, altho his inclnations were in other directions. He was tem porary chairman of the republican state convention of Iowa In 1894. In 1896 he was selected to present the name o(f Allison for president before the convention at St. Louis. In 1900 he was an elector-at-large from Iowa, and in the same year was considered in connection with the vice-:presiden tial nomination. Roosevelt was nom inated instead. Mr. Baldwin was a splendid man In many respects. His talents were In part misapplied. He is mourned by hundreds. He might have been mourned by the entire people of his native and adopted states, if not of the whole nation.

"'Slla COUSINS 00ING SOMETHING. Congressman Cousins, at the close of his long and quiet service in congress, has introduced a bill which can be classed as meritorious constructive leg slation. It pertains to foreign affairs and may be a committee bill, but as chairman he is entitled to personal cred it for the bill, and those of us who are convinced that the public, service would be improved by the substitution of a better man for congressman from the Fifth district of Iowa, should not hesi tate to give Mr. Cousins credit for this proposed legislation. He provides in the bill for the build ing of suitable consulates in foreign cities for the accommodation of our United States consuls and ministers. The first class places to be provided first, and the consulates to follow. As it is now, a United States minister to a foreign government must be a man of large independent means to provide himself with an establishment that will enable him to "mix" with the pow erful man of continental politics, the salary from Uncle Sam, frequently be ing spent for house rent alone. It is not the intention of the bill to appropriate public funds in order that our foreign representatives shall live in royal splendor, but to provide a Un ited States building which shall denote in architecture and visible presence the dignity and rights of the United States government. Such a building in a foreign capital would serve to es tablish Uncle Sam's prestige to the same effect that a corner building with a marble entrance always serves to give the First National bank dignity and prestige. The United States na tion, essentially a commercial people, can well afford to build businesslike establishments abroad, and the Cousins bill should commend itself to con gress. Topics of the Times Mr. Blythe's Burlington Hawkeye says that the democrats can find plenty of campaign material in Cum mins' speeches for the past six years, but aren't we all tariff rippers now since the Des Moines platform was adopted? Fred White must feel that he Is having to pay an old note for the sec ond time when his party demands of him that he become a sacrifice candi date again. If Fred had known in '93 •that he would be the only democrat elected to office in the state of Iowa •he might have hesitated to endorse single-handed the obligations of his party for all time to come. Take ten miles of white paper three feet wide, cut it up inito newspapers and print on both sides of it enough .matter of Interest to cause everybody to pay for a copy and then send it out In one day, one copy to each home, to be read by the whole family, and you will have a circulation like the Times Republican. .s If the tariff revision planks in re cent platforms are sincere expressions of popular sentiment the politicians in congress could have saved themselves lots of grief by simply removing that duty on wood pulp and avoided the de bate. When a standpatter Inslsits upon saving American forests from the com petition of Canadian forests in order to protect the paper trust and the tim ber thieves while the executive depart ments are raising a cry of alarm about the destruction of \011r forests, said standpatter is lost. He ought to be re moved from office. There is something petty and dis gusting about .this mock indignation over the. treatment of Funk. If the standpatters really wanted ,him selected as elector why didn't they name him? The fact that he was on the Pacific coast with no time in which to send his "affidavit of candidacy should not have discouraged them. The wife of a New York man found $2,000,000 in the pockets of her hus band's clothes. We'll bet that her hus band did not Jump 20,000,000 times higher than any of us who find a for gotten dimd in the pocket of an old vest. The proprietor of a bakery in an Iowa town can justly lay claim to a most unusual distinction. He has suc ceeded in giving a Dakota land agent the worst of it in a real estate deal. When the kaiser squares up the four years' taxes due on that castle of his in Alsace-Lorraine which I10 has for gotten each year to report for taxation, he will need a salary raise more "than ever. Statistics show that only one mar ried couple out of a 'thousand live to celebrate their golden wedding anni versary, whloh fact makes these occa sional Incidents worthy of notice. The Inhabitants of Be jar. a city of 9,000 population in the province of Sal amanca, Spain, have determined to emigrate In a body to South America. Bejar Is the center of the spinning in dustry In western Spain, and nearly every resident is an expert at the looms. The presidents of both Nicar agua and Uruguay have offered to send vessels for the people and to provide money for the erection of spinning mills when they reach their new homes. It Is understood the emigrants will divide about equally between the two countries. In Spain their wages are in significant, and in South America they will be more than trebled. In closing a brillia-nt argument for Allison the Des Moines Capital de clares that Towa has had the reputa tion of doing ithe square thing by her public men and tue Capital appeals to the voters not to cnange the reputation. Cv Allison has been kept In congress forty-three years, until he is now near ly 80, sick and decrepit. Cummins lias held office seven years, is vigorous and useful and has actually accom plished more for the public good in ithe seven years than Allison's compromis ing has In forty-three years. The ques tion is, what is the "square thing" for Iowa to do: reward a worthy official and improve the public service, or let an old man die in office who has been rewarded f'~r two generations, and have no service at all? Barnes Toriner—-The sceno of the play which we give tonight is laid about forty years ago. •Silas Hayloft—Just about the time those eggs the fellers hev bin collectin' were laid! Don't worry. It's no plot. The Cum mins newspapers are willing to pledge support to Allison in case the primar ies go for Allison. All we want is a pledge from the papers on the other side that they will be as square toward Cummins. The standpatters in the C'erro Gordo Hancock-Franklin senatorial district have put a candidate of their own kind In the field so as to take advantage of the possibility of progressives di viding between J. H. Stevens, of Ma son City, and John Hammil, of Britt. D. 'D. Howe is the name they are us ing. The Allison press bureau at Des Moines made a big top of column spread in all the standpat dailies about Allison's petitions being tiled with 4. 400 names. Then Cummins liled his petitions with 20,000 names having fully 20,000 more in the hands of his managers uncopled and it 1s estimated that at least 10,000 will come in during the next two days. IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES "Grant that the republican party has not done all labor has asked of it. What has the democratic party ever done for labor?" inquires the Sioux City Journal. The Waterloo Times-Tribune ven tures that "another twenty-flve years may see Iowa the greatest agricultural state in the country and one of the greatest manufacturing states in the middle west." "The railroad which eliminates the block signal system as a measure of economy may have cause to revise its notions as to just what is and what not real economy," says the Council Bluffs Nonpareil. "In any event we shall be compelled to get along with only two additions to our battleship fleet and we shall ex pect the government at Washington to be correspondingly cautious about provoking any foreign war," remarks the Cedar Rapids Republican. Noting that "the supporters of Senator Allison have given consider able attention to the opinions of those outside of Iowa upon the senatorial contest," the Waterloo Courier adds: "Doubtless this has received but lit tle attention from Iowa voters. They rightfully deem themselves perfectly competent to pass upon the question." "As yet Allison has not said that he would come out to his home state and show the people that he is able to rep resent them in ithe senate another term," observes the Mason City Times Herald. "If we should have a war with Japan or some other sea power," the Iowa City Republican believes "congress would be ready to trade every cross roads public building for a few good ships of war." "If one of the states In 'the union places a prohibitory law on its statute books," says the Cedar Falls Gazette, "the government of the United States has no more right to ignore and violate it than has any individual, and we con tend that in granting a license to sell liquor in prohibition communities, the government, ignores the laws of the community and encourages a viola tion." Looker-On In Iowa Dumont, April 21.—An experiment, or rather a business speculation, is that of the storage of ice on the river banks at Steamboat Rock. Five thousand tons were cut and packed in a solid mass a short distance from the river. This made a pile of ice 108 by 100 feet, sixteen feet in height. Around the entire pile a board fence was built the same height. Straw was packed be tween the fence and the ice, and over the top straw was placed several feet in thickness. In round numbers, here is 200 car loads of ice ready for a de mand which may or may not occur. If we have a hot summer, a long heat el term, the venture will bring sev eral thousand dollars to the owners. If there is but little demand, the lumber and straw used can be sold at but lit tle loss. The wonder is more of this kind of business is not engaged in at our lakes and on our river banks, where the railroad tracks are close by. Just as a matter of business, the question arises, How much profit is there in the practice of some hotel keepers of putting a drunken man to bed. on his own request or that of his friends? Whether in the long run it pays a proprietor, who, from motives of kindness or baser ones, deliberately puts a boisterous, drunken, profane spec'int 11 ?intes-1lejmMtotT, UlarsteTIttrxun,, iflcwm £pril 21 1308 of humanity into one of his best rooms, and thus allows all of his other puests to be disturbed all night. Even if such a drunken fool is a trav eling nan, or some rich town dweller, whom the city marshal does not want "to run in." it is still a question, does it x-ny? And all this Is suggested by an occurrence of this kind, where at least on landlord will lose the night trade of at least four traveling men. They say rhey can arrange their route to stay over night at Nextown, and will do so in the future. This one landlord will lose several dollars in a year. And while this business of the drunken man's trade was being talked over In the hotel office, there "waJ another county heard from." Said on" knight of the grip, "I go -to one of th_- best hotels in Iowa, but this landlord has a worse weakness than putting drunken men into the bridal chambe". It's his canary birds in his dinint room. I attempted a conversation with a friend sitting beside me, in a. low tone, suitable for the time and place. His canaries begin to sing. 1 raise my voice so I can be understood three feet away. The canaries go mo one better. By this time I am shouting at the lop of my voice, the canaries are scream ing as tho a. dozen cats were 011 each cage, and just then the table girl uses her megaphone and as tho it was a hundred miles away I hear the word soup? and about this time those canaries stop short, everybody stops talking I. e., yelling, and while it is as still as death all over the dining room, I scream out, yes! so loud they hear me in the next county." And here's more of the hotel talk. Many of our landlords are now so for tunate they can furnish their guests with lettuce and radishes every day in the year. A number of flower growers, hot house owner?, have found out it pnvs to raise lettuce and radishes un der glass, and that they can do so and spII this gf,u tn product at such low pi Ires anybody can afford to buy, no tel keepers or private families. A:l winter long in these towns, heads of lettuce as big as a big man's list have 1 e«n sold at five cents, and bunches of fresh rad'shi's equally cheap. In one nun'y seat cne grower of celery !s "making a barrel of money," not only by supplying the home town but shipping to other nearby towns, and Incidentally killing off the celery trade from long distance points. It goes without saying one hundred or even two hundred dollars an acre for Iowa land, In the vicinity of towns of three thousand and upwards population, is paying property, when used to raise this green stuff. I11 one hot house in Iowa a strip of Iowa soil 40 by 100 feet produced more dollars from the sale of lettuce and radishes, than any two acres of corn land in Iowa. Iowa Newspapers SOMETHING TO GO AGAINST. (Creston Advertiser.) It is hot easy to measure swords with Governor Cummins. He is a pub lic speaker of singular ability and of great experience in answering criti cism. And it is impossible to make words in cold type as effective as those uttered by an orator so skillful and so abundantly able to put his thoughts and arguments forcibly before the peo ple. Nor have we at our command the material that would be required to make an extended answer. MAKE ROOM FOR CHILDREN. (Cedar Rapids Republican.) In some places the people complain because the children use the side walks for roller skating. Of course, some one had to make a complaint. But let 'the children have the use ol the sidewalks. They are entitled to some uses of the streets. There is not the least danger of a boy or girl run ning Into you, If only you will keep right ahead and not try to dodge them. Let the youngsters do the dodging and they will do It successfully. There Is no prettier Wight In any city or town than troops of children on their skates. There may be a prettier pic ture somewhere than a bright faced girl on skates, but we doubt It. They are better than flower beds In the' parkings. Let them skate and let them roll along and have a good time. Any one who is mean enough to file an ob jection is mean enougn to deserve to be run over. HE'S A REACTIONARY. (Mt. Vernon Record) We reprint, In another column, com ment regarding the candidacy of Mr. Good, for congress, from several Fifth district papers. So far as our observa tion has gone Mr. Good will he. sup ported by most of the republican pa pers of the Fifth district. He should be. Mr. Trewin 'Is a corporation attorney from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. He Is attorney for five rail roads now, the .Northwestern. Illinois Central,. Great Western. Iowa Central, and Rock Island. He is also attorney for the Cedar Rapids Gas Co. and for tho telephone company. Wouldn't the people of this district be the biggest chumps in the world to nominate him? For our part we care more about see ing that Mr. Trewin is not nominated than about any other man up this year. If we are to have a Roosevelt administration, if we are to continue the reforms President Roosevelt has 1M.J Absolutely Pure IZ-'W "W' From Grapes, the most healthful of fruits, comes the chief ingredient of Tf started, we must be careful to see that men of this stripe are turned down, and turned down hard. President Roosevelt has had almost the whole of congress to buck for the last four years, and we want to see that only men are nominated who are thoroughly in sympathy with him. THE POWER THAT GUIDES. (Boone News-Repu blican) Looking out upon the green ex panse of Iowa's limitless fields, watch ing tho swift and prosperous trains currying a happy people to and fro, every living creature glad with the promise of spring, one must be a cold and unimaginative person indeed, who could contend these things "just happened," and ithat there is no super human intelligence which cares for the inhabitants of earth. True, there is sorrow in abundance, and it is ex tremely hard to reconcile it with the general scheme of joy and success which prevail.-. But every wound heals in time, and the work! would be an extremely monotonous place if everything "went right" all the time. The great bulk of the divine dispen sation, however, as we see it in this world, is physical and financial pros perity, and at no time In the year is the promise more inviting than at Eastertide. Two Signs of Rain. (Detroit Free Press.) When wife washes the windows. When hubby has his trousers pressed. CUMMINS AT CR1NNELL (Continued From Second Page.) qualified approval, and I stand shoulder to shoulder with the general assembly in this regard. "I would like to know, however, and you have a right to know when we are discussing this matter, what particular appropriation it is that Js designated as reckless or extrava gant. For what have we expended money that falls under your con demnation? It is quite true that the expenses of the state of Iowa are greater now than they were five years ago or ten years ago. You must ex pect this increase in the expense of a government that is every day taking on new functions and discharging new duties. Le.t us .look to the country at large for a moment. "As I remember it, Senator Alli son became the chairman of the ap propriation committee of the senate in 1876. I may be wrong about that, it may have been two or three years lat er, but I think he became the chair man of the committee that finally passed upon all the expenditures of the federal government thirty-two years ago. The expenses of the United States for last year were five times the ex penses of the United States when Sen ator Allison became the chairman of the appropriation committee. But if any friend of mine criticizes this dis tinguished statesman because these expenses have multiplied, I want neither his influence nor his vote. It would be so repulsive to me that I would not want to take office at the hands of so unjust and unfair a man. Senator Allison has simply responded to the growth of the republic, and the increase of these expenses instead of being the evidence and reckless ness and of extravagance, is the evidence of a just conception of the mighty power of the mightiest nation upon the face of the globe. (Applause). "So it is in a less degree with Iowa. The increased expenses during the administration of which I have spoken are mainly grouped in four divisions. First, the fourteen insti tutions under the management of the state board of control. This la the largest item of increase. We give better care to the unfortunates than we ever gave before. We have constructed new buildings, we are paying more for the things that .they eat, and the things that they wear, than ever before and every penny of these appropriations has been made upon the recommendations of the three members of the state board of control and three more eminent, un selfish and capable men were never intrusted with power in this state. Not one cent of this expenditure comes before me either as governor or as member of the executive coun cil. It Is paid directly from the state treasury upon the voucher of the members of the state board of con trol. Rate Legislation in lows. In 1907 the supreme court of the United States decided that the in terstate commerce commission had no authority to fix a railway rate, The only bakingpowder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar Cotts a little more than the injurious alum or phosphate of lime powders, but with Royal you are iure of pure, healthful food. and the commission became instant ly a mere) ornament upon the body politic, without effective power, with out serious influence. Freely admit ting that others began this crusade before I did, it is still true that when I entered public life in 1900, I began the campaign which I have continued ever since. In the first speech that I made I attempted to awaken the people of this state to the importance of granting to the in terstate commerce commission the power to fix a railway rate and thus protect a defenseless people. And 1 continued to do this. In 1900, in 1901, in 1902, i:i 1903, in company with thai distinguished citizen of the state to whom my friend, your chairman has referred, a man who, altho it is invidious to bring him into comparison with any other where there are so many entitled to great credit, a man who in my opinion has done more to throw protection and guard and safety around the people of this commonwealth than any other man in all its his tory, I mean Governor William Larrabee of Clermont. In com pany with him I went to St. Louis as a member of the interstate commerce congress, the object of which was to create a sentiment that would demand the congress of the United States this extension ojf the power of the inter state commerce commission and while there or shortly after I was appointed a member of the committee to visit Washington to urge upon our congress the necessity of this extension of power on the part of the commission. I did visit Washington in the winter of 1903-4 and did what little I could to enforce my views upon the committees of that tribunal, ij do not desire to harrow your feelings, I do not desire to increase criticism and therefore I will content myself by saying thai) I met and our committee met with scant courtesy from the organized tribunals of the congress of the United States. I came back home and I continued that crusade and there is hardly a county in this state in which I did not attempt to stir up the people to the importance of this deform and this amendment to the law. Believes in Protection. "No more profound believer In the justice and importance of the doc trine of protection lives than I was born in an atmosphere tbat would have stifled the first breath of a free trade::. I believe, and al ways have since first I could "think upon the subject, at all, that upon ev ery competitive commodity produced by American hands upon the Amer ican farm, in the American work shop, In the American factories any where, there should be an import duty that woulc". give our producers the first and best chance in the Amer ican market I believe that the meas ure of that protection should be the difference between the cost of pro ducing .the commodity here and pro ducing it elsewhere. And you can imagine the delight, for I am not an envious man, I am not jealous of other men you can imagine the delight that I felt when a convention, a republican convention, lately as sembled in Des Moines, not domi nated by the friends of this dis turber, but dominated by other in fluences, declared that the first duty of the republican party after the in auguration of the next republican president was .1:0 schedules of the United States. (Ap plause.) "If it was good republicanism' the other day in Des Moines, if it was good republicanism in Ohio when the republicans of that state commended to us her valiant son who has found favor in the eyes of our people if it was good republicanism in Illinois un der the leadership of that prince of standpatters, Joe Cannon, the other day, to declare that it was the duty of republicans to see to it that our sched ules should not be made the shelter for monopoly, then tell me, will you, why it was unsound republicanism to advocate these re-forms in 1902, in 1903, in 1904, and in 1905? Remember that in all these campaigns I was appealing to republicans, I was appealing to their judgment, I was appealing to their sense of duty, I was asking for a republican revisioA from a republican standpoint, preserving in its full vigor •v*1 ,w«er acetvusn* the doctrine of protection. And 503 SOUTH CENTER ST.

(Applause.) Not a demo cratic revision. I have no toleraition. for the doctrine of free trade than I have for the doctrine of unregulated* unrestricted, corporate management. I believe that the welfare of this coun try depends upon the maintenance of the doctrine of protection, and what soever I can do I intend to do to see that it accomplishes in the future tho beneficence that we have witnessed for It in the past. But do not condemn, me because believing that there should be a revision of the tariff I sought to do what little I could to bring my fel low republicans to the same mind. It has been a long and an arduous task, but the supreme gratification of my public life is that now, no matter If I be eliminated, no matter If I be ex punged, at least the republicans of the United States are marchinv not only under the banner of protection* but they are marching under the ban* ner of justice and honor as well."

New Discovery Cures Eczema and Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles Over Night. A few months ago the dispensers of poelam, the new discovery for the cure of eczema, decided ito allow the drug gists of 'the country to handle it. Prev ious to that time it could only be ob tained direct from the laboratories. Since this change in the method of distribution, .poslam has met with the most .phenomenal success of anythin introduced to .the drug trade in the last thirty years. All leading drug gists, including the McBride Will Drug Co., in Marshalltown, axe now carrying the special 50-cent size re cently adopted, also the $2 jar. This great success is not surprising when It Is remembered that, in ecze ma cases poslam stops the itching with first application, proceeds to heal im mediately and cures chronic cases in a few weeks.

MONTGOMERY'S FINE HOME Prominent Club Woman Making Prepar ations to 3uild Modern Residence on West Main George A. Howe to Build on North Fifth Improve­ ments in All Parts of the City. With the first warm days of spring, building activities show renewed vig or, and within the next few weeks im provements will be in progress in all parts of the city. Some of the build ing is under good headway at the present time, and by midsummer or early fall Marshalltown will have put on a large and line class of new resi dences. Mrs. May P. Montgomery, 303 North Fourth street, a prominent club wom an of the city, has completed plans for a beautiful new home which she will build on the old Aisquith property at 710 West Main street. The residence will be occupied as a home by Mrs. Montgomery and her mother, Mrs. W. D. Forbush, and will be ready for oc cupancy iby fall, probably about Octo­ ber 1. Mrs. Montgomery's new home will cost at least $5,000, and will be of the old colonial style of architecture. It will be practically a reproduction of an old home in Chautauqua county, New York, near Mrs. Montgomery's birthplace, that Mrs. Montgomery has always admired. While the general lines of the New York home will be followed, the builders will alter them to suit modern conditions. It will be iinished thruout in hard wood Howe to Build New Home. Mr. George A. Howe, who owns two fine lots on North Fifth street, is making preparations to begin the grading of the lots very soon, prepar atory to the building of an elegant modern home that will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. The plans for the new residence are now in the hands of the architect, and are being made ready for submission. Miss Whinery Builds to Rent. A new improvement on Summit street, which will mark the beginning of the end of the famous old "com mons," which have afforded a play ground for Second ward youngsters for more than twenty years, will begin with the construction of a modern cot tage by Miss Idella Whinery, princi pal of the Rogers school. Miss Whin ery has let the contract for the build ing, and work will be in shortly. The residence will be finished by midsum mer, and will be for renting purposes. Miss Whinery will invest around $3,000 in the house, which will stand on a lot and a half, a part of the tract she pur chased a few months ago. The house will be of the Keith colonial style of litecture, and in some respects will resemble the new home of John B. Simmons, on North Third street. It will face on Summit street. Clark Has Two Already Started. A. J. Clark has two new cottages al ready under course of construction on South Eighth street, between Church and Linn, and one will be ready for the plasterers next week. These two new homes, which will be for rent, are six room cottages, and will cost $2,500 each. They will be modern in every respect, and both will be ready for oc cupancy by June 1. Mr. Clark may also build another later in the summer at Eighth and Boone. Other Improvements In Progress. Many other Improvements are eith er in contemplation or under progress. Work is going along rapidly on the new Presbyterian church, and It is likely that the plans for the June ded ication will not be interfered with. B. F. Cummings has purchased the lot next to the M. F. Gard store, and will put up a new and modern two story building for business purposes during the summer. Satisfactory headway Is being made on the new Benedict block on West Main street, and a fine new store build ing will grace the site of two tumble-down shacks before the sum mer is over. The Western Grocer Company mills, which are to be housed in a new plant on the site of the old glucose property this summer, are pushing the im provements to their different build­ Pure Spices Spices sold in bulk are almost invariably adulterated.

Workmen began Monday the razing of the old ramshackle frame buildings at the corner of Third avenue and Boone street, which for years have been an eyesore. Both of the build ings are to be completely torn down, and it Is more than likely that before very long modern structures, for eith er business or residence purposes, will be erected In their stead. The prop erty is owned by the Peckham es tate. Mrs. Lucinda McCord, 304 Jerome street, has made a very substantial improvement to her residence, by tlie addition and filling out of the upper story, putting in modern windows, and adding a veranda. The improvements give the house a thoroughly modern appearance. HUGHES STREET CONTRACT LET Grading of New Street Let to O. B. Weeks by Council Monday Night. The contract for the grading of Hughes street, a new street between Fourth and Fifth north of Park, was let by the city council Monday night to O. B. Weeks. Air. Weeks' bid wa.i the lowest of four bidders, and was at 16 cents per cubic yard. The other bids were 18, 20, and 22. It is estimated that a total of 6,500 cubic yards of dirt will be moved, and all of it will be used to make necessary fills on North Fourth and Fifth streets. NEVADA OPENING TO JUDICIARY. Legal Department of City Will Pass Upon Question of Condemnation. A question of either condemnation or direct purchase, In the proposed open ing of West Nevada street, has arisen, and Monday night the council referred the matter to the judiciary committee for investigation. As a whole the coun cil visited the territory Monday after noon. and looked over the ground. The judiciary committee will report at the next regular meeting. Would Improve North Seventh Street A petition filed with the council Monday night by Chairman Young, of the streets and alleys committee, asks the improvement by grading of North Seventh street between State and Jer ome.

Hoag, of LaCrosse, Wis., Speaks to Good Sized Audience. The opening night of the revival services at the Baptist church, brought forth a good sized audience. A large chorus ohoir, under the leadership of Mr. A. L. Breaw, of Chicago, sang several familiar ihymns in a very spir ited manner, and the preacher, Rev. John "W. Hoag, of LaCrosse, Wis., gave the Christian people present an address that they will not soon forget. "He that winneth souls is wise," was announced by the preacher as his text, and for the next forty minutes the au dience listened to one of the most stir ring appeals to Christian men and women to enlist in the business of sav ing souls that .has been heard in .this city in a long time. "In these days we have the evangel ical church and the evangelistic church. The former of these has good men and women, sound doctrines and a vast deal of latent power, but the latter has all the good to comment it that the former has and in addition Is commun icating its power to the end that the world Is being Improved. The need of the hour Is for evangelistic churches. Some churches have a great many empty seats in their Sunday night meetings, but if you go to an evangel istic church you will find it filled. Ac cept the challenge of the world and match your God with the world's god." The evangelist was greatly pleased with the spirit manifested thruout the meeting, and predicted a most success ful outcome to the special efforts. AMUSEMENTS. At the Odeon.

The new Iowa Central car shops, one of the biggest local improvements to be made in this city this season, are being pushed to a rapid completion, and it now looks as tho within the next few weeks active operations would be commenced in the shops, with a force of men at least double what the old shops accommodated. The 150-horse power Corliss engine, which is to drive the machinery in the new shops, was set Monday afternoon, and today the line shafting is being put in. Tomorrow work on the concrete foundations for the different heavy pieces of machinery used in car build ing and repairing, will be begun. With the completion of the new and remodeled shops, the Iowa Centra.1 will have one of the most complete and modern oar shops of any western road, and one which every person in Mar shalltown will point to with pride as being in keeping with the progress and development of the city's manufactur ing institutions. Stoker a Great Success. The Strouse locomotive stoker, with which many of the heavy freight en gines on the 1 Central have been equipped, is proving in results all that the inventor claimed for it, and Master Mechanic Feeley declares the stokers to be entirely satisfactory. The Strouse stoker is the invention of a former Marshalltown man and Iowa Central engineer William Strouse. now of Oskaloosa. The stoker is a me chanical device that produces a sav ing of fuel in firing locomotives, lessens the work of the firemen on the big en gines, and lengthens the life of the fire box of an engine. On engine No. 85, one of the stokers has been given a test during the entire winter. It is no longer an experiment, and other en gines have been equipped and are be ing watched to note the results. Master Mechanic Feeley said of the test on the 85, that the stoker had showed a saving of 10 per cent in fuel and fully that much In the life of the engine. He also declared that the use of the stoker greatly lessened the work of the fireman. The engines on which stokers are now in use are the 80, 81, 83 and 85. 97 and 93. Mr. Strouse is now at work on an automatic device to feed the .locomo tive. which, if it proves successful, will further enhance the value of the stok er. His idea is to provide the stoker with an automatic attachment that, un der the control of the fireman, will feed the firebox with any amount of coal the box can accommodate, from a scoopful up.

This n-eans is taken to provide a part of the financial budget for the year. His Method. "I came back on the same boat with Charles W. Morse," said a Chicagoan. "In a talk about finance, over a bridge game one afternoon, Mr. Morse told us a story of sharp practice. "He said there was a coach that used to run between Nola Chucky and Paint Rock, a matter of some for ty miles. Far lunch the coach stopped at a half-way house in Tin Can, and here a good 50-cent meal was put out —cake and pie, coffee and tea, and all the cold meats you could mention. But the landlord of the half-way house had a mean little secret dicker with the driver, whereby, as soon as the travelers had paid for their lunch and got fairly settled to it, a call would come for an immediate start. So off they'd all go grumbHng. They'd have paid for 50 cents worth of food and only eaten, you see, about 5 cents' worth. "But along came one day a traveler with a sharp, bright eye. The land lord found this chap, some ten min utes after the coach had started on again, still tucking in pie and ham at a terrible rate. 'Why, man,' he said, 'you've let the coach go whhout you.' 1 know it,' said the traveler calmly. •I was too blessed hungry to stop eat ing.' man with a red beard, a hump and a limp—oh, very suspicious. "The landlord sent a hostler on a swift motor cycle off to overtake the coach and bring It oack. 1 'Well, in about lorty minutes the coach returned. Then the sharp-eyed man came forth, v/Iplng his mouth. But he made no effort to identify the suspicious looking passenger. Instead he got aboard the c€ach, took his seat, and said coolly: 'Thanks, landlord, for the good feed. You'll find your spoons and things in the coffee pot. Now, driver, off we go ag*in.'" On th«i Side. "The late Dr. William M. Stonehill," said a college settlement worker, of New York, "was willed the Bishop of the Bowery. It was a title of affection. The Bowery loved this good man. "He sometimes used to laugh over the naivete of his Bowery audiences. He used to say that in their frequent audible comments on his sermons they reminded him of the famous Duke of Cambridge—the old duke, you know. "From his great pew the duke rum bled out all sorts of remarks and crit icisms every Sunday morning. It would be. said Dr. Stonehill, like this: "Preacher—'Let us pray.' "Duke—'By all means.' "Preacher pray.s for rain. "Duke—'No good In that so long as the wind is in the east.' "Preacher (reading)—'Zaccheus stood forth and said, "Behold, Lord, the half of my lands I give to the poor."' "Duke—'Too much, too much. Don't mind subscriptions, but can't stand that.' "Prpacher quotes certain com mandment. "Duke—'Quite right, quite right but very difficult sometimes.' "Preacher quotas another command ment, which need not be indicated. "Duke—'No, no. It" Earnest did that.'" was my brother Failed to Fool Himself. (New Tork Sun.) "I knew a fellow once who was on the track team in college," said the man who believed lie was an athlete, "and this chap had every indication of being an athlete except the requisite nerve.

'Well.' lie answered, 'you fellows were all •telling me I'd run all right If I did something to take my mind off the race.

Church MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA Mrs. Alt red Stegall, 712 North Voorth Street, Deserts Hus band aud Children TAKES MONEY AND LEAVES Departs With Youngest Child and Leaves Husband and Thres Children at Home—Suspected There is Anoth er Man in the Case Leave* Note to Husband. 7 filM: 4 In the little house at 713 North Fourth street there are' three children and a husband Who are mourning the desertion pt their mather and wife, Who ha§ gone none of them knows where, presumably with another man. The woman is Mrs. Alfred Stegall, wife of a blacksmith -in the employ of the Marshalltown Buggy Company, As the woman expressed it in a note left be hind, she was "going to leave the poor house for paradise." Stegall strongly suspects .that the "paradise" referred to In the note is the company of another man. Took the Money and Left. What money there was in the house, and it was only a small sum, was taken by Mrs. Stegall, aa was also the young est child, a little daughter, almost a years of age. The other children, two glrJs and a. tooy, the oldest of whloh is 12 and the youngest 6 years of age. were left behind with the father. When the father returned from his work the wife and mother had flown, but she had left behind for the general information of the husband and relatives a letter with her mother, Mrs. Tlebout, in which she referred to the poorness of her home and the longing for the new paradise. Mrs. Tiebout is employed as 'housekeeper for Moses Arquette, a well-known Iowa Central engineer. Little Girl is Now Mamma. While the father sweats over the flre of his forge, trying to provide the means which will keep his little family from want, his oldest daughter, a mere strip of a girl, is "mamma" for the other two children, to whom they look for the maternity that should come from its natural source. The girl moth er is a frail little thing, and in fact 19 on the verge of sickness, as are the other children, and her task' has not become an easy one. The husband is searching for the wife, but so far without results. He blames the man in the case, and feels confident his wife will return if he can but find her. He still contends, despite •her desertion of her family, that his wife is a good woman, or was until she met the man he claims has broken up his home. Were he able to find the man he would have him arrested, or at least he has so threatened. In the meantime the husband and the family are making the best of a bad situation and they are trying to keep alive the hope that the wife and mother will return. Mrs. Stegall is a rather good looking woman of 30 years, and was married when she was but IB. BENEFIT FOR SICK WOMAN. Marshall Rebekahs Turn Over $50.40 to Mrs. Charles Allderson.

ARGUE ANOTHER DEMURRER. Motion is Submitted in Bank Case for Beneficiaries. Another demurrer was argued Mon day afternoon before Judge Parker in the case brought by the Fred Wood bury estate against Dr. George Glick, and others, growing out of transactions of the old First National bank years ago. The demurrer was filed by the attorneys for the defendants, who are the beneficiaries of the insurance Dr. GUck carried, which was assigned to the bank. This demurrer seeks to have these beneficiaries removed from the case on the ground that their interest is only contingent on the.maturing of the policies. Judge Parker has re served his decision until a later date. MARRIED. Clapsaddle-Liston. Mr. Marcus D.

At the regular meeting of the min isterial union Monday it was decided to change the hours for Sunday even ing services, beginning with next Sun day. On that date the young people's meetings in all of the churches will be held at 7 o'clock instead of 6:30 o'clock and the preaching service will be held at 8 instead of 7:30. Ordinarily the change in the hour is not made until May 1, but there has been an apparent demand for a later hour, which is the reason for the change at this time. Mr. S. L. Bowen, of Wayne, W. Va. writes: "I was a sufferer from kidney disease, so that at times I could not get out of bed, and when I did I could not stand straight. I took Foley's Kid ney Cure. One dollar bottle and part of the second cured me entirely." Foley's Kidney Cure works wonders where others are total failures. Mo Bride Will Drug Co. Odd Fellows' Fsir.

WARREN NICHOLS, Committeeman. A Tramp, or Possibly a Bum. "Don't confuse," said the other day, in Washington, John Ellis, the well known apostle of (the unemployed "don't confuse the ihobo, the tramp and the bum, for these men are very differ ent one from another. "The hobo," Mr. Ellis went on, "works and wanders. The tramp dreams and wanders. The bum drinks and wanders. "This man, for instance, would not be a hobo. "He rang the bell of a. suburban house, and when the master appeared he said earnestly: 'Could you, ,sir, for the love of heaven, give a hard-working but un fortunate man some employment?' "The householder laid his hand cor dially on the other's ragged shoulder. '"Here's work for you right on the spot,' he said. 'I've got out In my back yard a great pile of wood that—' 'Thank you, sir,' said the man, as he shook the hand from his shoulder gently. I'll let my friend know at once. It's not for myself I'm hunting a Job. but for a friend a little way up the road." A Poor Remedy. Speaking of a certain measure under discussion in the senate, a well known congressman said: "It does not meet the situation at all and will not remedy conditions. It re minds me of the wife of a young black smith of Washington. "Did you sew that button on my coat?' this black smith asked his wife one morning. 'No, dear,' the wife answered. 'I could n't find the button, but I sewed up ths buttonhole, so It's all right.'" Would Ask No Mercy. Mrs. Vick-Senn—"What do you sup pose you would do if you were to meet the tfoolkiller." iHer husband—"I would tell him I was the man he was looking for, all right. I have just given orders to have that new addition to the house torn down and built again exactly as you want it." Knew His Lesson. (Louisville Herald.) Sunday School Teacher—Now, Os wald, if another boy were to come up to" you and strike you on the cheek, what would you do? Oswald, promptly—Put myself in his place. Happy Man. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) "Does money really make you hap pier in any way?" "Yes, sir, it does. Since I have be come rich nobody ever attempts to of fer me any good advice." Doesn't Feaze Him. (Cleveland Leader.) "That new preacher you have Is a pretty wideawake young man, isn't he?" "Yep. Keeps right on preachtn' when everybody else Is asleep." NOTE—See Page 5 for Additional Local Naws. Timea-'ftrimhltcror, -JlteKaltarammt Jtmnr Former Marshalltown Boy Se cures Patent on Instrument to Replace Stethoscope DISCOVERY A MERE ACCIDENT While Working on a Telephone Trans mitter Townsend Conceives Idea of Instrument That is Less Bulky and Much Cheaper Than Stethoscope Starts Manufacture on Small Scale. Louis A. Townsend, a former Mar shalltown boy, and eon of Mrs. J. E. Townsend, 1UG North Fifth street, has turned inventor, and with his new au scuia-phoue he is of the opinion that the stethoscope, used by physicians, will be laid aside for the handier and cheaper instrument. Mr. Townsend now lives in Fort Dodge, where he is in the employ of the Iowa Telephone Company. The discovery that led to the manufacture and placing his Invention on the mar ket was, like many other inventions, an accident. One day Mr. Townsend was work ing on a transmitter, and to handle the instrument better, without keep ing a receiver to his ear, he fitted it up with two pieces of rubber tubing, with ear clasps similar to that used on the old-fashioned phonograph. Grow ing tired, he leaned back In his chair, aud the transmitter momentarily rest ed on his breast. He was surprised to distinctly hear the vibrations of his heart, and the roaring sound of his lungs when he breathed. Idea Is Given Birth. This little experiment by accident gave birth to the Idea. Townsend be gan to investigate, and found that physicians claimed that all stetho scopes and similar instruments used for testing heart and lung action were bulky and inconvenient to carry. He went to work on his new instrument, secured a patent, and is now having it manufactured on a small scale. If the sale meets with approval on the part of physician^, an effort will be made to interest some large Burgeons' supply house in the manufacture. The ausculta-phone weighs only three ounces, and is made of alumi num and both hard and soft rubber. It can be taken apart or put together in three seconds' time, and can be car ried in a coat pocket or in a surgeon's Instrument case without inconven ience. Mr. Townsend, until a few years ago, was in the employ of both. a An Easy Trial La Shelle Cook and S. W. La Sheflle, in this city. He left Mr. La Shelle's employ .to enter the service of the telephono company. In the Police Court. "Jack" Ward, arrested for being drunk, was discharged in the mayor's court this morning.
