Bryan Delegates Are Too Many in Illinois Democratic Con vention *V\ CHICAGO CROWD IS FOR JOHNSON Delegates From City Do Not Join in Applauding Nebraskan's Name—Con vention Sentiment Overwhelmingly for Old Leader—Disagreement on Springfield, 111., April 22.—Ten men from Chicago, headed by Maxwell Ed gar, brought the Johnson boom to the democratic state convention early to day. No headquarters were opened, but the men distributed a vast amount Of'Johnson literature and set forth the merits of their man with all the abil ity at their command. They made no Impression, however, on the mass of delegates, who are solid for Bryan. No change was made in the program for the convention. The convention was called to order at noon. After the organization and accepting of reports from the various district caucuses, the delegates listened to the address of Free P. Morris, of Watseka, the tem porary chairman, who will also be the permanent presiding officer. Three candidates for governor were active today—Douglas Pattison, of Freeport James Hamilton Lewis and John P. McGoorty, of Chicago. All of them opened headquarters and were busy bolstering up their booms. Morris Lauds Bryan. 1 When Morris took the chair he de livered an address predicting success for the democrats in the coming elec tion If discord was avoided. He launched upon a lengthy criticism of the republican party, and speaking of the tariff question said: "The democratic party is opposed to a high' protective tariff, for it block ades our traffic with the world. The party demands wise and just revision of the tariff laws in the Interest and for the benefit of labor, capital and commerce, and to the end that this disparity between the expenses of liv ing and production may be adjusted on a basis of common fairness." In conclusion he said: '"Che "It t. pendulum of human liberty has reached the end of the arc. The dem ocrats of Illinois are for Bryan for president. The country has acclaimed •him as one worthy to stand with such heroes as Washington and Lincoln. He measures in the fullest sense to the loftiest standard of all great states men whose names have embellished the pages of history of our nation. Let the Denver convention give us this re nowned chieftain to lead our hosts, and we will verify the axiom that the 'third time is the charm.' Inspired to united and titanic efforts, we will achieve a /victory, not for our party alone, but for our beloved country." The mention of Bryan's name by Morris called forth an outburst of cheers, many delegates leaping upon their seats and waving hats and hand kerchiefs. The greater part of the en thusiasm, however, came from dele gations outside of Chicago and Cook county. After reading the reports of the cau cuses, recess was taken until ,2:30 o'clock. CORTELYOU HITS FREAK PRESS. Outlines Statesman's Duty, Taking Fall Out of Yellow Journalism. Auburn, N. Y., April 23.—Secretary of the Treasurer Cortelyou in his ad dress to the Auburn Business Men's association here last night took a fall out of the sensational newspapers of the country. While paying a tribute to the press and its mission and responsibility, he declared certain elements must be eliminated ere it can reach its highest and truest aim. Mr. Cortelyou spoke on public serv ice. He said:: "The public official holds a peculiarly responsible relation to the communi ty. He is not only, in a sense, the cus todlan of the public interests but he is 5 In the limelight of publicity, where his example for good or ill goes to make the people hopeful or distrustful of their government. he Is to achieve success he must be honest, open minded, fearless .en ergetic, and endowed with common sense. If he does well he may hope for the approval of his constituents. On the other hand, he must realize the v- likelihood, almost the certainty, of con demnation of at least some of his pub lie acts. N a I "'the right spirit, determined to act fear lessly and, if need be, aggressively, may hope to escape misunderstanding and misrepresentation. "The public official is often tempted to do the thing that will win tempor ary applause that will gain him im mediate popular favor that will in ure, perhaps, to his personal or politi cal advantage. "But if the public official be a (it ^•^representative of his constituents, lie n.wwill learn their wishes, he will draw "upon all the information in his pos session, he will avail himself of the ad vice of his associates, he will finally bring to bear his best judgment, and he will then do what he would wish those whom ho represents to do were they so placed as to be able to act as intelligently. "In regard to press criticism, I can well understand that the daily news paper is= for the most part hastily made •lip that its news and oftentimes its editorial columns are prepared under the pressure of urgency which pre cludes full consideration: but these conditions furnish no warrant for un just attacks upon interests or individ uals. American journalism must purge itself of the malign influences within its ranks if it is to be true to its splen did traditions and its high mission. No man should be condemned upon insin uation. "There is no higher mission than that of the press. Its criticism, if lair and just, holds us to a strict account ability. It can be the bulwark and support of honest government." DAUGHTERS PROTECT FLAG. Patriotic Work of D. A. R. Commit tees Reported to National Convention. Washington, April 23.—The iirst ses sion of the seventeenth continental congress of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion was taken up with reading reports by the chairmen of the standing com mittees.

This is the Year of the Mysterious Seventh Season Hoodoo. Chicago, April 23.—A lean corn crop this year is in store for the farmers of this country if the figures advanced by B. W. Snow are any criterion. Judging from past performances over a long series of years, the crop is due ito fall short of the "bumper" yields of recent years. Beginning in 1874, .when the crop was severely injured by local droughts and insects and the yield .was 82,000, 000 bushels less than the previous year, every seven years there has been a partial failure of the crop from one cause or another. Mr. Snow publishes several tables showing the ups and downs of the crop since 1870. "The corn crop Is perhaps the one which is most dependent upon the character of the season for a large part of the year, its period of growth extending firom early spring until the advent of killing frosts," says Mr. Snow. "An examination of the records taken for nearly forty years, taking up the average yield each year, shows that years of strikingly deficient crops were remarkably periodical. Reports of •the weather bureau for these years of low average yields show an equally •striking periodicity in .heavy deficiency of moisture." BLOW TO LUMBERMEN Nebraska Dealers' Association Perpet ually Enjoined by Supreme Court Regarding Operations Tending to Eliminate Competition.

Former President Unable to Be Moved From Hotel at Lake wood to Home STAYS AFTER HOTEL IS CLOSED Utmost Secrecy Observed by Members of the Household—Cleveland Said to Be Suffering From Stomach Trouble —Physicians in Constant Attend ance. Lakewood, N. J., April 23.—The fact that ex-President Grover Cleveland remains at the Lakewood hotel after the hotel has been closed for the sea son, while physicians are in close at tendance, has caused apprehension that Cleveland's progress toward re covery from the recent attack of ill ness has not been as rapid as desired. Watchmen are constantly on guard about the hotel and information con cerning the condition of the former president is difficult to obtain. Mrs. Cleveland went to her home in Princeton Wednesday, but remained only a short time, returning to Lake wood. ..t 11 o'clock this morning it was learned that Cleveland was suffering from an attack of stomach trouble, and was not quite so well as yesterday.

Should the session continue until the close of May he will go to Iowa once more before the session ends and take part in the campaign. Senator Dolliver has been strongly urged to speak in Iowa ere this, and he has been subjected to criticism from standpatter sources be cause he has nftt done so. He gives as the reason why he has not gone to Iowa before now the fact that he has had to remain here to look after his senatorial duties.

Antagonism in Standpat Ranks in State Growing More Acute Dailjr FEELINGS OF LACEY HURT While He and Lafe Young Were Clamoring to Take the Stump, Man ager Adams Announced That No Allison Sneakers Were Available Wanted Big Pay for Their Work. (Special Washington Correspondence) Washington, April 23.—Senator Dol liver's sudden determination to go home is reported as due to fears of the approaching collapse of the Alli&on campaign. Joe Lane's visit here Is thought to relate to Dolliver's trip. The dissensions in the Allison camp and the panic over Cummins' gains in southern Iowa, forced the action. It is intimated Dolliver may install a new manager at Allison headquarters, but if so, this will not take place Immed iately, for Dolliver has a high regard for Adams. The junior senator has not seemed happy about the pros pects lately, altho always expressing confidence, in the outcome. He would •have been pleased to keep out of the fight as much as possible, realizing that .his own future is involved if the threat of an Allison bolt is carried out after the Cummins victory at the pri maries. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, April 23.—Major John F. Lacey has been turned down by Mr. J. T. Adams, the Dubuque man, who is managing the campaign for Senator William B. Allison. Major Lacey is not disposed to take the slight that has been given him with very good grace. In the same boat with Major Lacey are a number of other prominent and conspicuous standpatters, including Julian Richards, who was the standpat. candidate for secretary of state in 1906 and later worked for the democratic state central committee Lafe Young, of Des Moines James G. Berry hill, Charles Hellen and Ed H. Hunter. Mr. Adams, it is alleged, is not a standpatter. The standpatters are op posed to Governor Cummins on every proposition. The proposition now before the people is that of United States senator and they are opposed to him for that. They favor Allison because Allison is running against Cummins, tho they recognize that Allison has said some strong things in favor of tariff revision. It is claimed, and with every show of reason, that Mr. Adams has started in to manage the campaign for Sena tor Allison on the basis that this Is not a fight between the standpatters and progressives but merely a personal af fair between Allison and Cummins. He proposes that Allison shall not have to depend on the standpat vote of the state exclusively for his renomina.tion and for that reason he has refused to put Julian Richards in charge of the literary bureau at Dubuque, has re fused to let Ed. Hunter In to handle the money and has refused to let Lafe Young and James G. Berryhill dictate the campaign. Ho doesn't propose, in other words, that the Allison candidacy shall be identified with the old stand pat machine that has been discredited in every fight for some campaigns back. Recently there has been a call for speakers to go out and spell-bind for Allison. Cummins, Garst, Prouty, Clarke and others are out over the state telling them the progressive side of the argument. The standpatters see the ground slipping under their feet. They sent a hurry up call to Adams to get some speakers Into the field. Adams has replied that there are no speakers and that he could no nothing till con gress adjourned so that Dolliver could1 come out. It was given out that the speeches that Dolliver would make and probably one speech in the Auditorium in Des Moines by Senator Burroughs, of Michigan, would be all the speech making there would be. When Adams sent word back to Des Moines that there were no speakers to be had he stuck the knife into Major Lacey and Lafe Young and turned it around. Here stood these two patriotic gentlemen ready at any time to go on the stump and help to secure a stand pat victory for Senator Allison at the rate of $100 to $200 a speech. Possibly thev could have been secured for $50 a speech but any how they stood ready and Adams of Dubuque sent word back that there were no speakers to be had till congress adjourned. During the late state convention days some of the Allison-standpat crowd got together and did some things without consulting Lafe Young. Furthermore, the things they did were not pleasing to Lafe Young, and he has remembered it ever since. The other day Adams came to Des Moines and a conference of Allison's supporters was held Major l.acev did noi was ever sent. know of it till after it was all over. He and Charles Hellen took dinner together in lies Moines a few davs alter tile con ference was held, llellen had not been invited, either. They compared notes. Hellen made an investigation to as certain whv l.acev was not there. It was claimed an invitation had been sent him, but Lacey never got it, and has his own opinion whether or uot It Lacey then Inves 5 gated to find out why Hellen was invited, and Adams claimed that sent word to Hellen thj*u Lafe Yo C? To invite Hellen thru the mediu l«ife Young is about the same i* sition as to Invite Cummins'to I a conference thru Blythe. Hellf Young are competitors in businf 'd there .is not a newspaper or s paper man in the state of Iowa fiat has said anything to compare with the bitter things Hellen has said about Lafe Young. Well! Hellen claims he didn't get the invitation. And he has his ideas whether or not it was sent. Any way, following the luncheon by Lacey and Hellen and the investigation they made, Hellen published some things. He wrote a column editorial telling that Adams is an incompetent and in efficient manager, and that if Allison is defeated, it will be due to Adams' poor management. He showed that the blunders of the early campaign of George D. Perkins two years ago, when Senator Jackson was in charge, are being repeated now by the Allison people. He says that, it is only barely possible for wise management to pull the campaign thru, and tho he does not mention Ed. H. Hunter as the pos sible manager, this can be inferred from the fact that Hunter was the man brought into the Perkins cam paign when Jackson made a failure of it. Julian Richards was the first to speak out plainly on the Allison campaign management. He has been telling little things about it for some time in his newspaper correspondence and a few days ago predicted an open split. He pointed out that Allison was trying to carry water on both shoulders, in that ho was trying to get both standpat and progressive votes and expected the •solid support of the standpatters while having his campaign managed by a progressive. Evidences of this predicted split are already at hand. A few days ago the standpatters stepped over Adams' head. After waiting in vain for him to ar range to get some speakers into the field they took the matter up them selves and communicating with Sena tor Dolliver arranged for him 'to come to Iowa and speak in Des Moines April 28. Then they sent for Adams and told him what they had done. There is every evidence that the pre dictions of Richards of a split are to come true. The standpatters propose that the victory in the election of Al lison shall be a standpat victory and by standpat victory they mean 'that it must be a victory for the Blythe cor poration interests and anti-tariff revis ion. If it cannot be that, and all of that they are almost willing to see Al lison defeated—till they think of Cum mins. That thought is almost enough to sober them. The primary election is five weeks from next Monday and the time is now probably too far gone to make a change of management at this stage of the campaign and if the change was made it is too late ito do anything to recover the lost ground. BIBBINS ELOPES Des Moines Young Man Runs Away With Amy Byrum, a Newspaper Woman—Married in Kansas City. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, April 23.—The elope ment of Miss Amy Byrum, a well known newspaper woman, with Harry Bibbins, a man about town, was dis covered today. They were married in Kansas City. RICH BEDFORD RECLUSE DEAD Dr. A. M. Golliday, Once Prominent Physician, Meets Wretched Death. Special to Times-Republican. Bedford, April 23.—Fulfilling the prophecy of the community, Dr. Alfred M. Golliday, Bedford's famous rich re cluse, died alone in his old shack among wretched surroundings, and ifSe" rats had attacked his body when it was found. Dr. Golliday in recent years never undressed to go to bed, and he was found with all his clothes on, even to the shoes on his feet. His sister lived in Bedford, also, but the doctor held himself aloof from her as well, and she did not know of his death until he was found several days at least following his demise. Why Dr. Golliday shut himself up from the world nobody really knows. He was a man of scholarly attain ments, he was at the top in his pro fession in southern Iowa, he had wealth, he was once popular, and yet he in recent years lived in abject squal or, and he died even more wretchedly than he lived. Dr. Golliday was nearly 80 years old and he lived in Bedford about fifty years. He came here after graduating from Rush Medical College in 1857. In his younger days he had an immense practice extending all over this and adjoining counties. He never married, his wants were few, and he accumulat ed a large fortune. He was a great student, and as the years passed he gave himself more and more to his books until finally he became a re cluse. In an early day he built a little frame office on one of the best lots in Bedford. Back of this, in a little frame shanty, he lived. Tho rich, he declined to improve his property, and modern brick structures crowded around it. He built a high board fence around his lot, and within this he had stored enough lumber and rubbish to load a dozen freight cars, while the whole grounds were a perfect jungle of brush and trees and vines.

Minneapolis favorite brands of spring wheat flour being quoted yesterday at $5.85, compared to $5.60 a few days ago. The advance in the poorer grades has been relatively less.

'111., April 23.—The su preme court today rendered a decision in the McBride case, declaring the new local option law passed last year con stitutional. Upon this decree depended the ef fects of three saloon elections which have been held under the provisions of the present law. These elections resulted in thirty-six counties barring out saloons altogether, while thirty six other counties turned the liquor dispensaries out of all but one or two towns in the county.

M- ^ties at Dubuque Com- I&n to Give Parent Aid T- CHOICE "*y\ S.U OF TWO DUTIES MM i» lAlt Must Either Cars for* Mother Purchase Her Ticket to Germany encluded to Send Her to Ur, Who Premises to Care For or. Special to Times-Republican. Dubuque, April 23.—One of the friost ^glaring examples of what appeara to be 'filial Ingratitude came to light when Albert P. Flukigen was called by County Attorney Nelson before the board of supervisors and asked to fur nish money to send his aged gray balred mother home to Germany, where Bister had promised to care for her the remaining portion of her life. For some time past Mrs. Barbara Flukigen has been destitute and has been kept In the fit. Francis Home for the Aged at the expense of Dubuque county. Too old to work for her sus tenance, and with no kind hands to aid her in the evening of life she was compelled to give up in despair her lonely fight for mere existence and to come with a pitiful plea to the coun ty officials for»aid. The help was not Withheld and in the Home for Aged this deserted mother found a place to rest from labors too strenuous for a woman of seventy years. The smiles that had been chased, seemingly forever from her face be cause of the ingratitude alleged to have been heaped upon her were coaxed -back ere long by the kind treatment she received in the home. She forgot all her troubles and became again her old self. Recently a ray of sunshine, in the shape of a letter from a dear slater in Germany came to brighten the aged woman's hope In the future. The letter was couched in the most endearing terms' and, It closed by asking her to come.home to Germany and kind hand* would, tend to her until the curtain of life was pulled down by the mystic hand if death. The aged woman .smiled, she pressed the foreign mis-. give to her lips. At leaBt some one thought of her destitute tho she was iHying because a great commonwealth. had. thrown out the life line to her in her greatest necessity. Living in Dubuque apparently un conscious of the duty every son owes his mother, lives the son of aged Mrs. Barbar Flukigen. He is a butcher -owning and conducting a meat mar ket at 3070 Couler avenue, but he was too poor to aid his mother In her des titution. Thp arm of the law, however, has 'aroused-In him a sense of duty unfu lfilled, of obligations unmet 1 Wednesday he was called before the -board of supervisors by the county at torney. The question was put to •him, "Will you pay for your mother's •return to Germany?" ."No," is said to have been the re ply, "she had money of her own and ''spent it I cannot afford to pay for her trip to Europe." y/ "We will give you an alternative," said the county attorney, "either you shall' pay for her trip to Germany or you shall take her to your home and care for her the rest of her days. Which do you choose?" It didn't take Flukigen long to- make up his mind. "I will pay for her trip to Ger many," he said. HOME FOR BLIND AGITATED. Mrs. Alice E.

Gilliorary, Sent Up Eleven Years Ago, Loses Mind and is Dying of Tu berculosis—Government Planned to Sand Him to Federal Hospital—Was a Man of Mystery. Special to Times-Republican. Anamosa, April 23.—Marshal Ed Knott, of the northern district of Iowa, made an official visit to the Anamosa reformatory and calling into consulta tion a couple of physicians, conducted an Investigation into the condition of D. A. Gilliorary. The action was taken u.pon the order of the attorney general of the United States. •And this Investigation brings to light a most unusua.1 and exceptional case. In 1895 Gilliorary, about whom nothing la known was convicted in the federal court at Sioux City of counterfeiting. At that time federal prisoners were be ing sentenced to the Anamosa peni tentiary, and it was the order of the .court that he be confined in that prison for two years. Before the expiration of his sentence he had become insane and was transferred to the insane ward, where he has been ever since. The government knew of the man's condi tion and' has been paying the state for the care of him. A few days ago an order catne from the attorney general of the United I States .to make an investigation and report upon the condition of this man, evidently with the expectation of or dering his removal to the government insane asylum at Washington, D. C. Marshal Knott found that the man was not only a driveling idiot, not even knowing his name, but that he was dying of consumption, and probably has not more than three or four •months to live. The only words that could be gotten out of him were Nova Scotia, and for this reason it is be lieved that he originally came from that country. The man Is evidently about 40 years of age. Mr. Knott will report to the depart ment accordingly, with tho recom mendation that he be left where he is, b'elleving that he could not even sur vive a trip to Washington.

That it digests any food, at once and completely. Please prove this at our risk. Eat what you need of the food that you want, and note how Kodol acts. Note the absence of pain, of fermen tation, of gas. Don't doubt facts that mean a great deal to you, when they are easily proved. There are many ways to digest part of the food,, but. Kodol alone digests all of it. Pepsin digests albumen, but not starch or fat So the many digesters depending almost solely on. pepsin are only partial helps. A complete digester must be a liquid, for some of the needed elements can't be given dry. They must be preserved in glass. That Is why Kodol is liquid, like the digestive juices. The result is, its action is instant, it even begins in the mouth, by starting the flow of saliva. The cure of indigestion requires, above all, that you relieve the stomach. Tonics and stimulants only spur it to action, like whipping a tired horse. Weak organs never gain strength by forcing. But digestion is necessary, else the food grows hard and irritates the stomach lining. It fer ments, and forms gas, and breeds germs. It de navs. and loads the blood with poisonB. And all the food that fails to digest fails to nourish you. Your digestive powers are bound to grow weaker so long as those conditions continue.

Let Kodol, for a little time, do the stomach's work. Then note how quickly nature cures, when it has the chdnce. Some people try to relieve the stomach by diet ing, but that means partial starvation. The body requires variety in food, and when yoti limit that variety you are robbing some part. That isn't the way to gain strength. A person who suffers from indigestion needs nourishment. Needs it more than a well person. The right way is to eat the food you need, then let Kodol digest it Please don't judge Kodol by any other fopv of digester.

Davis' Arrival at the Jail Where Husband Was Confined, However, a Reconciliation Is Effect ed, and the Couple Return Home Happy, to All Appearances. Special to Times-Republican. Mason City, April 23.—Charged with wife desertion, Roy Lewis Davis, a resident of Nora Springs, was arrested here last evening on the order of the officers at Nora Springs. Davis was taken in custody as he was about to board a Northwestern train for Omaha, where he has relatives, and where he said he expected to bury his troubles and forget an alleged combative wife. The leave taking of Davis was the culmination of what is said to have been a prolonged and somewhat stormy domestic scene, and in order to get away from a repetition of it, he chose ignominious flight. Instead of the of ficers arriving for Davis this morning, Mrs. Davis came and was taken to the jail where her husband was confined. A somewhat melting interview fol lowed, in which the unhappy couple clung to the bars on either side Davis' cell, and sobbed pleadings for forgive ness in each other's ears. A reconcilia tion was effected, and at Mrs. Davis' request, the husband was released and they returned home seemingly happy. Mrs. Davis is a large woman, tho young in appearance, while her hus band is much smaller, and seems to be of a retiring disposition. SYMPATHY IS WITH FOLEY. Many Think Him Innocent of Connec tion With Attempted Extortion. Special to Times-Republican. Clinton, April 23.—The arrest of William Foley, a popular young Clin ton man, on the charge of attempted extortion by .threats, because he was in the company of Alfred Paul, a young Frenchman who is believed to be .the guilty party, has occasioned a great deal of talk 'thruout the city. If Foley is innocent of the crime, as many believe thim .to be, be is a victim of peculiar circumstances, having entered a Clinton alley with Paul the other night, when the latter picked up a de coy bundle after Banker A. G. Smith, of Clinton, had received a letter de manding $500 or his life. The fact it hat Foley was on the scene, resulted in Jiis arrest, and he was held to the grand jury. Paul declares he never saw Foley before, and many are of the belief that he tells the truth. HARVEST OF WOLVES BEGUN. Benton County Auditor Paying Boun ties on Cubs—Vinton News.

W. Chase's Kidney and Liver Pills. Few people breathe enough fresh air in winter to purify the blood. As a result spring finds the blood laden with poisons and there are head aches, pains in the limbs and tired, wornout feelings.

This medicine insures regular and healthful action on the bowels, cleanses and invigorates the whole digestive and excretory systems and thereby removes the cause of pains and aches, of tired, languid feelings, billiousness, backache and constipation.

Special to Times-Republican. Boone, April 23.—Acting Curator E. R. Harlan of the state historical de partment, has made public his report on the big mound west of Boone, which has just been uncovered. This report Is given publicity in full the first time. Mr. Harlan will send this report to all of the scientific journals of the country and it is thought that many noted men will within a short time visit this city and inspect the mound. It is open to the public and all will be given a cordial welcome by those left in charge. The report of Curator Harlan is as follows: This work is completed as was de sired by the lamented Mr. Aldrich, and as planned at his request by Mr. VanHyning, in charge of the museum of the historical department of Iowa. Archaeology of Iowa was a field Mr. Aldrich highly regarded and for which he made provision in his plans for the future work of the Institution he founded. Mounds, such as this, were found by the earliest white visitors to Iowa regions. Their inquiries of Indians elicited the information that mounds were here from their earliest tradi tions. Their origin and purpose are amongst the mysteries of man, and their exploration awakens the interest of scientists the country over. The quest for facts touching Iffe amongst the ancient peoples is made by the Un ited States government as well as by different states thru their Archeologl cal bureaus and societies as also by individuals. This exploration by the historical department is its contribu tion to the general effort. These ef forts aim, primarily, at discovering what was done by these peoples and secondarily to recover the objects they left. Hence the "finds" are of a value expressed In their works and not solely in their bones, implements and utensils. With this view, the val ue of Mr. VanHyning's pursuit of Mr. Aldrich's plans may be readily esti mated by the following schedule of "finds:" First—The mound is 110 by 190 feet, 14 feet high. Second—So-called ash heaps aver aging a foot in diameter scattered thruout the mound within 4 feet of the bottom. Third—Absence of stone or other im plements, except in some four or five instances. Fourth—The occurrence thruout the mound of pottery fragments to the number of 2,000, unusually indicating vessels of two feet diameter, and showing an excess of thirty patterns of ornamentation. Fifth—The occurrence of a compact baked-like sheet of dirt, five feet thick, •FROM ALL OVER IOWA ant bank held a business meeting Sat urday.

Fourteen automobiles were assessed, the others not being owned on the 1st of January. The total amount of money and credits assessed is $44,248. Mason City. The plans of the city for sewer im provements during the approaching summer are very extensive. Eight new sewers are planned besides those already under construction and author ized. All these are to be eight inoh laterals and all are to be located in the Willow creek sewer district. When all these are completed the city will be .practically covered by a net-work of sewers, water mains and water ex tensions. Shenandoah. The Methodist congregation of this city has decidqjl to build a new church building. The local church has a mem bership of between 760 and 800 and is one of the strongest in southwestern Iowa. Their membership was recently Increased about 150 members because of the union revival meetings, which were held in,this city last month. The congregation is not only strong but many of its mpmbers are rich. The new building that t.hey will put up will cost in the neighborhood of $50,000. Sweetland. While the family of J. A. Carter, residing one mile and a half south west of Sweetland, were enjoying their Easter supper, some unknown burglar entered the house and robbed them of a pocketbook containing $6, and a few minor articles. The unknown "gentle man" entered the residence by a lad der placing it near the upstairs win 1 over the whole and three feet beneath the surface. Sixth—The occurrence of clam shells thruout and especially numerous near the bottom. These are species now ex tant in the Des Moines river. Seventh-—The composition of the dirt so differing in color and char acter at small intervals as to indicate its disposition in small quantities. Eighth—The occurrence of single human bones at different and distant portions of the mound. Ninth—The occurrence of separate skeletons in disconnected and incom plete condition at different places on the bottom of tlie work. Tenth—The occurrence a so-called stratitied stone floor, some "lx.6 feet In dimensions and of irregular outline, practically level and supporting a cir cular arrangement of the same char acter of stones, near its edge, which stones are on edge and of a width practically uniform and of IS inches. Eleventh—Tho occurrence of decayed timbers so disposed as to suggest their having Iain across the floor upon the edgewise stone. These are five in number, two extending east and west and three north and south. Twelfth—The occurrence of small boulders above the timbers mentioned, in substantial regularity of rows east anil west, and some two feet apart. Thirteenth—The occurrence of two elm and one oak tree on the mound of a diameter of two feet each. Mr. Van Hyning has had exhaustive preparations completed for the repro duction of this work if found advis able. For a few weeks it is desired to allow the same to remain undisturbed for the inspection of the public, and for the final disposition of the work intact to any institution that may care to acquire it. It is hoped that all who can do so will visit the site in a day or two. All museum specimens will be in charge of Mr. John M. Brainard, of the Ericson library. Boone. Age Cannot Be Estimated. The method used in opening the mound was to cut off the sides like •slices are cut from a cake. In the center was found the room with the stone floor about 21x26 feet and the walls of stone 12x14 feet high. All of the pottery and human bones were found inside 'this room. The roof of the room had been made of timbers thrown across with stones placed on them. This had caved in which had smashed the pottery and the skeletons too. In addition to t'he skeletons and pottery there were found a few flint tools. The fragments of pottery are very interesting. Some of this showed a good deal of decorations. Some pieces about the top showed little raised places on the outside and it was easily seen that these were made by taking a sharp stick and punching thru from •the inside while the clay was wet. In one instance the maker bad .punched too hard and had punched thru. He had pressed the clay back into place with his thumb and the markings of the thumb were clearly shown on the piece of pottery which had been sub eequently burned. As to the age of the mound no one has yet been found to hazard a guess. For many years a dead man buried in the mound in 1S50 has stood guard over it and prevented the excavations. Rel atives objected to his remains being moved. Tt was found that he had died of smallpox and the state law prohib ited opening the grave. This was finally arranged, 'however and the last legis lature appropriated the money for the work. An Insidious Danger.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick building, New York, N. Y. STANDPATTERS DISGUSTED. It now develops that Julian Rich ards' story about dissatisfaction among the Allison leaders was true to detail and that the actual management of the Allison campaign has been taken over by Lafe Young and Major La cey. The first evidence of it was the ridiculous protest against electors-at large, a blunder which has few equals in the political history of our state. As an indicator of the disgust which such senseless factionalism has aroused even in the Reservation and among standpatters, may be read the Clarinda Herald, a strongly edited standpat paper, which says: •While the Capital and certain other republican papers of the state are clamoring for harmony in the party, it is very apparent that there is no possibility for harmony except on a •basis that exactly suits them. One of the most foolish and unreasonable fights In the campaign is the one now opened up on Mr. Copeland of Bur lington and Mr. Packard of Marshall town, who came out for candidates for electors-at-large. The Capital was willing to let Packard be a candidate on condition that Mr. Copeland should withdraw. The only ground for fight on Copeland is the fact that he is fav orable to the candidacy of Governor Cummins. It seems remarkable that such a short-sighted policy should be adopted to carry the fight as far as indicated in this opposition to Cope land. The result will be that Copeland will be elected by a strong majority because people are not disposed to give much heed to men who are call ing for harmony while they are all the time hunting trouble and so mani festly one-sided in their harmony ideas.", WRITING SCHOOL ESSAYS. At about this time of year the girls arid boys of our high schools begin to rack their brains for a subject for an essay. It will worry them for several weeks, they will pester their parents about it until finally the flight of time toward the day on which all essajs are to be handed 111 compels a resort to "The Destiny of Man," or "The Sphere of Woman," and again stale jokes about school day embays will have been vindicated. All this worry and fretting over the selection of one subject to write about and the preparation of 1,000 to 1,500 words, which would fill only one col® umn to a column and a half of news paper space, looks ridiculous to the newspaper -man who must select from twelve to twenty subjects every day about which to write from 100 to 200 words each in his short paragraphs, besides three to half a dozen subjects upon which he prepares 2,000 to 3,000 words ol' text, and finds time to dis cuss matters from thirty minutes to an hour each with a dozen callers who visit the office during the day. To the man who prepares 4,000 words of orig inal 'essay every working day, this worrv over a school essay looks like wasted energy, and yet any newspaper man can look back only a few years to his own school days, to the same worry and fretting over the school es say. It has often seemed since that the trouble was that the youth became op pressed with the seriousness and dif ficulties of a task which could have been vastly easier had there been more naturalness in meeting it. Ihe main trouble seems to have been in the de sire to select a subject unknown, mys tical, abstract, and of course very dif ficult If the captain of the ball team could have started on "Greata Men and Their Sports," he would have become so absorbed in the reading of his sub ject that his interest would fairly glow in his writing. He would read from pleasure, learn more history and phil osophy of life than some college courses give a student. l£ssay writing would become fun to him. If some young woman would forget "The Sphere ot Woman," or "Women as Iiulers of Nations" and write about "The Feeding of Men," she would find that she had opened a mine of most intensely interesting Information as she followed the primitive foods of early man down thru the various races of vegetarians, fish eaters, flesh eaters, to the modern breakfast foods and package groceries. History, diet etics, evolution and social economics would all come under her observation as she read upon her subject. What could be more Interesting than "The YOU DON'T KNOW how much suffering you can avoid by using the Bitters or you would stop ex perimenting and stick to this sovereign remedy.

SB ,S"j *J£ Incantations For Chiekenpox" to the young woman who would trace the slow progress which medical science has made in mastering common dis eases and the crazy ideas of the past? And so it would be with any prac tical, common place subject. Any bright boy could prepare almost a ro mance upon "Flour—Thru All the Ages," and when he had finished he would have gained a fair conception of the problem of existence which man has had to meet since the dawn of creation. "Origin and Use of Cof fee as a Beverage" would send 'him coursing thru the pages of history and to traveling over the plantations of strange and remote lands, until he would have taken a trip around the world in his reading. "Roads—Ancient and Modern" ought to absorb the at tention of any kid who rides a bicycle or whose father owns an automobile. Roman roads, African roads, Persian roads, French, German, English and New England toll roads would all flash before him in research, and when he came to write he would have be come so interested that he would give real life to his composition. And why wouldn't some young mu sician of the high school take a real interest in an essay upon "The Music of Many Races." or "The Musicians of the Ancients"? How many girls or women ever traced the "Evolution of a Hat," or know anything about "The Hats of Ten Centuries"? Let some motherly young girl write to the vari ous public charities and read the pub lications of social science literature and discuss "The Cry of the Child," giving us a picture of home environ ment in the crowded districts of our cities. Then there is the banker's son. Let him tell us when "Money Loaning Was a Disgrace." He can go back to the days before the discovery of the dig nity of capital. Let the son of the clothing merchant answer the ques tion "Who Are the Greatest Mer chants?" and if he does his work well h9 will get a lasting, liberal education upon the manners and customs of all nations. The lawyer's son should dis cuss "The Rise of Law," and get an understanding in his research of the fundamental reasons for the exist ence of law among men. "Salt—the Friend of Man," would make a most interesting, scientific, historical and commercial theste. "The Potato and Its Origin" might attract the attention of some rising Burbank and give him the inspiration to future greatness. Any farm boy could entertain his au dience and instruct himself if he would tell us of the "Origin of the Horse," and give us a description of the process of selection which has de veloped domesticated animals into distinct breeds for various useful pur poses. Essays upon subjects of this kind would contain a live interest to the young folk. Each writer would gather a fund of Information which would remain with him tliruout his life. The essay experience would serve to bring the student face to face with the ac tualities of life. When he had fin ished his writing he would know something about the things with which he was to come in contact. "The Destiny of Man" would far bet ter give way to the experiences of men, and the "Sphere of Woman" would come nearer being properly occupied by the next generation if the girls of the present were informing them selves upon the actualities of exist ence while at their essay writing. Essays could thus be made a daylight joy In place of a nightmare. BRYAN MIGHT WIN AND LOSE. Hrvan's pre-campaign declaration concerning his atitude toward the presidential nomination has been shelved, along with the issues of 1896 Bryan declared some time ago that he was not an active candidate for party leadership, but would accept the nomination if the party called him. He immediately entered into an active campaign which has developed into a scramble and a nght. Mr. Bryan as vet has no cinch on the nomination at the Denver convention, altho his chances have improved dur ing the past week. He is conceded the Illinois delegation .selected in the Springfield convention today, and Henry Watterson has declared for him He is yet nine votes short of the two-thirds necessary to land the nom ination, after giving him all the states where he has a fighting chance. The number of delegates already instruct ed for liryan is given at 163, not count ing those of Illinois. He is conceded 500 probable delegates In addition to these, including Illinois. Thus he is within nine votes of the nomination. While there is a strong tide of an ti-Bryan sentiment within his own party, he has been the man most feared by the republicans. His an nounced belief in many Roosevelt pol icies would win him votes from any but a candidate of the Roosevelt stripe. Political developments now indicate that Bryan will be the nomi nee, and for the third time will lead Ins partv to defeat. ''k. It Never Quits. (Chii-.igo Record-Herald) "Cheer lip," he urged.

A Marshalltown lawyer, who is a candidate for nomination for state senator, says that he looks upon the state-wide primary vote on United States senator as an instruction to the members of the legislature. This is a lawyer's view of a law. We are told that because the legis lature saw fit to have the money of the state spent upon its public insti tutions, Cummins has been reckless in not vetoing the bills. What about Al lison, then? He became chairman of the appropriations committee of the senato in 1876, since which time the federal government's expenditures have increased five fold. The Dubuque Times-Journal is will ing to promise that Allison will quit fighting Cummins if the primaries go against him, but the T.-J. will not speak for itself.

April 18, 1908. Editors of the Manson Journal: It is with much surprise I hear some of my farmer friends opposing Govern or Cummins for the U. S. senate. Is it possible ithey have forgotten the great fight the farmers of Iowa had with the barb wire monopoly in 1881? At which time the attorneys employed by the farmers were false to their trust. I sometimes think they have. So thought it might be well to have you give them a bit of Iowa history that may not be familiar to the youngest men. About 27 years ago, the federal court in Chicago decided that a syndicate had a monopoly of the manufacture of barbed wire. About this time barbed wire was advanced in price nearly fifty per cent. The prairie counties of our state were then being settled up by young peo ple who were endeavoring to make a home for themselves and subdue the wilderness for future generations. Their trials were many and their means small: they were compelled to stake the few cows they owned, out on the grass with a rope, because the price of wire was from twelve to sev enteen cents per pound. It was no uncommon thing at that time for the men of Webster, Calhoun and Greene counties to meet at the coal banks on the Des Moines river, or at the mill on the Coon river, and discuss the wire monopoly all night. The situa tion had become so oppressive that •some prominent agriculturalists met in Des Moines at about this time. present, but without means to prevent the disaster, is in position thereafter to appreciate the value of the institu tion which costs him but a trifling sum.

The result of this meeting wa^ the formation of the "farmers' protective association" to fight the trust by manufacturing barbed wire on our own hook. Every farmer of the state was asked for one dollar to cre ate a fighting fund, hut it is needless to say that but a small per cent con tributed to that fund. They bought a p'ant and started in.

He was then a young man of such well known integrity and high serine of honor that no man that knew him dared approach him with a bribe. He threw his whole soul into the work and defended the farmers for six long years. Not only In the courts but before the legislature. •\nd altho the odds were hea\ilv against him he got the upper hand of the trusts and we got our wire at a reasonable price. It is well known by some that had a hand in that struggle that Attorney Cummins, in order to prepare himself for this great legal struggle, which he knew meant millions for the .American thought she was leaving poverty for paradise when she ran away from a blacksmith's home should note the domestic tragedies of the millionaires which are daily in the press.

At the final trial in the U. S. courts at Keo kuk the monopoly concerns appeared with a great array of eastern attor neys, while Governor Cummins alone represented the Iowa farmers. When the trial was ended and a verdict rendered in the farmers' favor, one of the owners of a big easl ern concern approached Attorney Cummins with a proposition to go east and become counsel for them with a salary many times larger than what he earned In Iowa. Mr. Cum mins replied to this offer by saying he would conduct no legal fight with out regard to right or justice. The year 1887 was a very dry one in Towa. So dry that many sections of the state were very short of hay to feed their live stock this county had a good crop and was able to supply some of the other counties with hay, but owing to the railroads not being willing to make short haul rates, it was almost impossible to get the hay to counties that needed it. The writer made a contract with some stockmen in Boone county, early In the winter, to supply them with hay, and commenced to press the hay. But the railroad would not let him have cars to ship it before the first of March, thereby causing great loss to him and much suffering among the cattle in Boone county. So unreason able had the railroads become that the following year Governor Larrabee started a movement to give the Iowa railroad commissioners authority to fix just and equitable railroad rates and to forbid discrimination. In this fight Mr. Cummins was chosen by Governor Larrabee to carry the meas ure thru the legislature. The record of that legislative session shows that Mr. Cummins took an active part in perfecting the bill which is now a law. Mr. Cummins' activity along these lines won the hostility of one of the most powerful railroad lobbies that ever pestered a general assembly of our state. For many years It has been my priv ilege to represent the farmers of our county in several state gatherings, called" for the express purpose of cor recting some of the unjust conditions imposed upon the wealth producer, and several times have been chosen to ap pear before legislative committees in behalf of the farmers. On such occasions I have had good opportunity to see who was really the people's triend. I know of no time when the Corn Belt Meat Producers' association has called upon Governor Cummins for advice or assistance but what they have got it, and at times when it was quite a sacrifice for hi MI to do so The Iowa State Farmers' Elevator association asked ine to ap- employed pear before the general asembly of our state to urge it to pass a law com pelling railroad companies to .make a joint treight rate with each other. When I was there, Governor Cummins gave me all the assistance possible. Governor Cummins has been instru mental in passing the 2-cent fare law, anti-pass law, joint freight rate law, prohibiting corporations from contrib uting to campaign funds, law prohib iting watering corporation stock in Iowa Is it not'natural then that the railroad influences and corrupt poli ticians of our state should oppose him' It Is seldom In a contest for a public office the lines are so closely drawn between people on the one hand and corporation Influence on the other as now in this senatorial flght. v*rvjT37&:.: ially to one's record for campaign pur poses," explains the Muscatine Jour nal.

"Whoever the president that shall come after Roosevelt, he must pursue the Roosevelt policy towards privilege The Clover on Winter Rye. (Northwestern Agriculturist.) Many inquiries are coming in in regard to the advisability of sowing clover on winter rye. Rye in many respects Is a most excellent nurse cio It matures early in the sea son, thus giving the young clover plants full use of the ground and the moisture. Clover as a rule suffers in spring grain for lack of moisture and shade during July when sowed with rye this trouble Is re moved. Again, rye grows long straw and is cut very high to avoid so much handling of straw. This tall stubble not only protects the young tender plant from the scorching heat of the sun during July and August, but also holds the snows of winter and in .absence of snow in a measure keeps the ground from drying out and drifting. Now as to the better way of sow ing clover seed. As a rule, if sowed very early on clay soil the freezing and thawing of spring will work It into the ground sufficiently. This is particularly true where It can be sowed on the last light snow. On sandy soil where rye is usually sown it will have to be worked Into the ground. It is a decided mistake to sow timothy in fall with rye and then the clover the following spring, unless it is the timothy you are after. In this case better not waste the clover seed at all. Where the timothy is sowed in advance of the clover it gets pos session of the ground and the clover has a very poor chance indeed for its life. Where clover Is sown with rye one danger confronts the farmer viz. it makes such a growth that the ten dency will be to blossom out and start to set seed the first season. This should be discouraged by clipping back with mower as soon as heads begin to appear. Set the mower high and let the tops fall back for mulch to protect thp plants thru the following winter. If allowed to blossom and seed to form the first season it will weaken the root or rather exhaust the plant to that ex tent that it is apt to die the following winter. Navel III. Nearly every year complaints are received later in the spring about the loss of colts from a peculiar disease. In describing this disease the writers state that the colt acted as tho it had been stepped on, became swelled at the joints, and grew weaker and weak er until it finally died. As a matter of fact this is a disease which can be quite easily handled if the cause was generally known and handled in time. In about 99 cases out of 100 of this kind the colt is lost from blood pois oning caused by an infection of th3 navel. Previous to birth the entire nourishment of the colt enters thru the navel and at birth this portion is tender and easily affected. If the least amount of dirt or poisonous matter is allowed to come In contact with this navel, infection is almost certain to occur and death in many cases follows alter the symptoms as noted above. This can be easily prevented by a lit tle care at foaling time. As soon as the colt is born the navel should be severed within an inch or so of the body and the exposed portion care fully washed with some mild disinfec tant A 2 per cent solution of car bolic acid or a mild solution of any of vis HENRY PARSONS.

"Roose velt has set .the standard which can not be safely departed from In any of its .principal features."

The Sioux City Tribune 'has learned that "Dave Brandt now aspires to be a senator w.hlch will explain some of ithe anM- Cummins noises that have been emanating from the regions around Iowa City." MM MM purpose. Remember to do this as soon as the colt is born and repeat the dis infecting process each day for three or four days, or until the navel is thor oughly healed up. If this practice is followed, navel ill will be practically unheard of. -1 Preventing Potato Scab. Potato scab is a fungus disease, and anything that will kill the spores on the seed will prevent it unless the ground is infected with scab, in which case no amount of treatment of 'the seed will do much, if any, good. Before planting soak the seed for one and one-lialf hours in a formal dehyde solution composed of 1 pound of 40 per cent formaldehyde 'to 30 gal lons of water, and then plant the seed in clean ground, and there will be no pota/to scab. It is easily and cheaply done, and is cock sure. No man can afford to jeopardize his potato crop with experimentation when he haa at hand a preventive as sure a^id as cheap as this, and neither can he af ford to run the risk of getting the scab in the soil, for after the soil is once inoculated (the diseased condi tion will last for years, and the land is unfit for potato culture. Fifty cents worth of formaldehyde and a little time will insure the average potato grower againsit loss from scab, and when insurance can be had as cheaply as this no man can afford to use methods that are uncertain, or to run still greater risk by not treating at all. In ithis connection it 'is very well ito keep in mind that ground becomes Infected by having scabby potatoes planted upon it, and that when once infected that particular land is unfit for potatoes for years, no one as yet can say just .ho.v long. It therefore behooves one to prevent Infection by treating all seed. In some potato raising sections they had to go out of the business as the ground became so foul with disease that potato raising with profit was impossible, and now that their land is saturated It will be years before they can safely resort to the raising of potatoes again. •frf'S Cement Block Silo. (St. Paul Farmer.) Fred Zentgraf, of Racine county, Wis., writes: "Does a silo pay? If so, I wish to build one of cement blocks. How large should I build to accommodate twenty-five head of cows In any locality where corn fodder is the heaviest yielder of coarse fodder, we do not hesitate to recommend the silo. We think it pays yes, know It pays, and would not think of keeping cows anywhere within the corn belt of the Mississippi valley without a silo. We feel safe in saying that if our cor respondent will write a given number of dairymen that are using modern silos, at least nine-tenths of them will be as positive as we in testifying to their merits. In figuring silo capacity for a given number of cows, calculate upon having one cubic foot for each cow for every day of tho entire feeding season Hence, for twenty-five cows It would take a silo about 18 feet in diameter and 26 feet deep. This will provide for the waste of space that will come from its settling and give some to feed to the other stock, which they will relish very much during the winter. ManZan Pile Remedy.

Baptist Evangelist Urges People Not to Put Off Day of Salvation. A rousing sermon at the First Bap tist church last night held the audi ence from first to last. The singing was most hearty. Mr. A. L. Breaw is prov ing himself a chorus director of ex ceptional ability, and his solo work Is one of the features of the meetings. The chorus shows a marked improve ment each night and the old hymns are being rendered with a fervor that makes them seem new. The sermon last night was directed to those who have no espoused relig ion. "A Great Sinner and a Great Saviour" was the theme. The preacher urged men and women to make haste and accept of this great sav iour. He urged that the min ister Is justified in urging the unsaved to make haste. "Every minister has been brought face to face with situations, not once, but many times, which appeal to him to leave nothing undone to Induce men to em brace Christianity."

New State Prohibition Secretary Con fers With Local Workers. Mr. E. E. Taylor, of Des Moines, the new secretary of the prohibition party of t'he state, was in town last night and held a conference with sev eral prohibitionists in relation to the county campaign. Mr. Taylor is .the man that went into Fre*born county, Minnesota, that had cast but 146 pro hibition'votes, and put Mr. Nobles, a straight out-and-out prohibitionist in the .legislature. He and State Chair man Hammond have decided on the Minnesota plan for ten counties of this state, including Marshall. The plan is to hire a trained worker to begin June 1st, and put in full time in the one county until election. Every vot er of the county is to be seen, the ques tion of electing prohibitionists to the legislature is to be taken up. and the focusing of the entire temperance vote for the prohibition candidates. Mr. Taylor says he finds the senti ment of the better element of t.he state with the prohibition party in the liquor issue and all realize that it is the only issue as platform principles now stand, but there is a feeling of hopelessness that must be removed, as in Minnesota. He says that the state central com mittee of Minnesota is putting over 100 canvassers at work for .the en tire summer In that state. They hope to elect many members of the legisla ture and .have great hopes of carry ing the state for gov'ernor. Mr. Taylor left on the midnight train for Chicago. NEW TRIAL DENIED.

BUILT RIGHT Brain and Nerves Restored by Grape Nuts Food. The number ot persons whose ail ments were such that no other food could be retained at all, is large and reports are on the increase. "For 12 years I suffered from dys pepsia, finding no food that did not distress me," writes a Wisconsin lady. "I was reduced from 145 to 90 lbs., gradually growing weaker until I could leave my bed only a short while at a time, and became unable to speak aloud. "Three years ago I was attracted by an article on Grape-Nuts and decided to try it. "My stomach was so weak I could not take cream, but I used Grape-Nuts with milk and lime water. It helped me from the first, building up my system in a manner most astonishing to the friend' who had thought my recovery impos sible. "Soon I was able to take Grape-Nut' and cream for breakfast, and lunch a night, with an OKK and firapo-Nui* for dinner. "f am now able to eat fruit, nieai and nearly all vegetables for dinner but fondly continue Grape-Nuts fo breakfast and supper. "At the time of beginning Grap Nuts I could scarcely speak a senteiu without (-hanging words around o: 'talking crooked' in some way. but nr brain and nerves have become s. strengthened that I no longer have tha trouble."

While the giving of the notes to Dr. George Glick by the de fendants ds admitted, it is declared that the purpose for which these notes were given was to secure Dr. Glick's loan, he being the president of the bank at that time, and much indebted to it. Dr. Glick, to secure the makers of the notes, assigned to the bank a large quantity of stock in the National Lin seed Oil Oompany, also stock of the bank and a small promissory note. The contention is made that later the bank stock, which was assigned by Glick to the bank, was released back to him, without the knowledge of Lan der, and also that the other collateral, put up by Glick, was sold by the bank without Lander knowing it. Notes Glick's Surety. At the time of the beginning of these transactions Dr. George Glick was president, altho Fred J. Woodbury and J. iP. Woodbury owned a controlling interest in! the bank. It is alleged that about May 1, 1891, the bank claimed Glick owed it $33,000, and that this amount was largely in excess of the amount the bank was privileged to loan him under the banking laws. In 1893, it is charged that this debt had grown to $38,500, secured by the following notes: George Glick, $9,950 Holland Land and Lot Company, $4,700: Mrs. Jane Glick, $5,500 (Fred Glick, $7,400 Charles Glick, $6,000, and .Charles Lan der, $5,000. All of these notes were signed by George Glick as endorser or co-maker. Glick Puts Up Collateral. To secure the makers of these notes and the bank, Dr. George Glick de posited with the bank 867 shares of stock of the National Linseed Oil Com pany, of par value of $86,700, and that he assigned to the bank 100 shares of its stock which be held, worth $10, 000, and a promissory note for $300. The contract entered into by Glick, J. P. and F. J. Woodbury, covering this negotiation, provided that when the oil stock was sold the proceeds were to be applied on Glick's debt by paying off the notes which were its security. Stock Sold, But Note Held. Lander's ansflver declares that early in 1894 the bank released to Glick ten shares of the stock that had been as signed to it as security for the loan and notes, and that by doing so the agreement covering the notes and col lateral was broken and that he became no longer liable under it. It also says that between 1§94 and 1897 the bank disposed of the remaining bank stock Glick had deposited for $20,000, its rea sonable value. It is charged this was made without the knowledge of Lan der, and that the proceeds were wrong fully applied and not used to cancel the Lander and the other surety notes. This stock, the answer says, was sold to F. J. Woodbury and Frank Wood bury, who purchased it, knowing it had been deposited as collateral. Lot Company a Pretense. Among the surety notes was one from the Holland Land and Lot Com pany for $4,700. Lander's answer says this corporation was a pretense and that in fact It was qwned by the bank, and that Its note hi no way con stituted or represented any debt against Glick, but that the bank might pay larger dividends to its stockholders. Cross Bill In Equity. The answers of both Charles J. Lan der and Charles Glick include cross bills in equity, by wh'-" .ley seek to have the Woodbury -.(ate enjoined from selling or negotiating the notes, and that a decree be issued directing the plaintiff to surrender and deliver the notes that they may be canceled. If tfiey cannot be found decree voiding them or Judgment for their value is asked for. Demurrers Overruled. Judge J. M. Parker, in the district court this morning, overruled the five demurrers of the defendants, A. G. Glick, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Fletcher, and George and F. E. Glick, which were filed and argued a short time ago. The demurrers were all based on formal matters relative to the case and hav _• /O.-'JKV.\ \.S"- jJv •'f s-,4 ing no bearing on the real merits of the litigation. Judge Parker a short time ago, sustained in part the defendants' motion for a more specific statement relative to some of the claims In the original petition.' PROGRAM FOR OPENING.

SELECTING A LOT. The Success of a Home Depends Upon the Kind of a Lot. Architectural text books are full, of the warning, "Be sure to select a'"good lot." Many and many a fine house is made a poor home because of a poor lot, when the difference between a good lot and a poor one seldom amounts to more than $200 to $500. Don't build on an alley lot unless you know what kind of buildings are to be opposite you. A horse stable just across the alley from a dining room depreciates a property. Get a high lot, so as to give the most effect to the building and a healthful site. Get an east front when you can It's pleasant In the morning, cool and shady in the summer. Don't skimp the ground, or it will make the building look crowd ed. Walk five blocks west and four blocks north from the court house, and see those beautiful lots I have for sale on the west side of Fifth street. .The view from each will please you D. W. NORMS. JR. RUNAWAY KILLS HORSE.? Laundry Wagon Crashes Into Driving Mare, Breaking Its Leg. A delivery horse, hitched to a wag on of the Meeker Laundry Company, which was left untied in front of the laundry, ran away late Wednesday afternoon, and crashed into the horse and buggy owned by Horace Anson, 206 West Church street, breaking the Anson horse's leg and damaging the buggy. The mare's leg was broken In two places and it was necessary to shoot it. The Anson horse and bug gy were standing on Main street be tween Second and Third streets when the runaway horse and wagon struck it. It was thought for a time that the laundry horse was also badly hurt, but it escaped without serious injury. Notice to Clean Up.

"The Virginian" Seen for Second Time by Local Audience. The dramatization by Owrn Wister, collaborating with the late Kirk La Shetle, of his powerful American novel, "The Virginian," was seen for the sec ond time by a local audience at the Odeon last night. The audience was of good proportions, altho no one was turned away, as was the case with 100 or mere at the initial performance here in January, two years ago. Mr. W. S. Hart appears in the title role, succeeding the originator of the part, Dustin Farnum. According to w* hi,, e, J*. ..£v Qska- loosa and Monmouth Go Otit, As Was. Expectcd v- press dispatches Mr. Farnum at pres ent is busy with his own domestic af fairs, and is still explaining his rela tions with Mrs. Howard Gould, and denying charges preferred by the New York millionaire. Mr. Hart has an altogether different conception o£ Wister's hero than had Mr. Farnum. Some critics have liked him better, while others lament Far num's absence. Mr. Hart, who made a big hit as the "bad man" in "The Squaw Man" in recent seasons, is pos sibly truer to Wister's pen picturc of /the Virginian than was Farnum. He is not so good looking, but Farnum was too good looking to be true to the book. Hart portrays the bashful ness and unsophistication of the true Virginian in his love making to a nicety, and gives a highly satisfactory representation of the character. Frank Campeau, who created the part of Trampas, was the same Tram pas as seen here before. It Is doubt ful if "The Virginian" on the stage could be satisfactorily presented with out Mr. Campeau's peculiar interpreta tion of Wister's villain. Altho the character is not one to make hearts in the audience, no one can help but admire Mr. Campeau's work. Miss Anne Meredith, as Molly Wood, was very good, and a sweet face and gentleness of manner brought her au dience to a clearer conception of the character of the Vermont school ma'am. Miss Mary Conwell, a niece of Dr. A. B. Conaway of this city, was last seen here as Molly Wood. Others who were prominent in the cast were G. A. Forbes as Steve, Har ry G. Bates as Andrew Dow, Frank Monroe as Honey Wiggln. Harry Hnl liday as Uncle Hewie, and Charles R. Gilbert as Spanish Ed. Liscomb Township Caucus.

Local cattle buyers say they are still having difficulty in getting rid of their big steers..and for that reason they are not in Uie market for that kind. The bulk of the heavy cattle go to eastern shippers. A train of upward of twenty loads of Alberta hay-fed steers, arrived yes terday the first to come from Canada this season. They were of quite good quality and proved a big attraction in the market. Their good condition was a surprise to many of the sellers as went at 6.20 and some others sold at well as buying interests. One big drove $5.90. while a lot of cows went at $5.20. J. "H. Skinner, who has just returned from a trip to southwestern Iowa, says marketable cattle are exceptionally •scarce in that part of the state. "That part of Iowa is a great cattle-feeding country," said Mr. Skinner, "and when they are scarce there it is pretty cer tain that they are scarce everywhere. High-priced feed last winter discour aged stockmen and they rushed their cattle to market freely, just when prices were lowest. Now they are slow to fill up with $5 feeders, and most far mers are inclined to hold off for fu ture developments. Grass is looking fine and there will be an abundance of pistur" and apparently few cattle to eat. it." At this time of the year and up to the time till the western range cattle are duo packers have been accustomed to depend on the Texas contribution to help them out. This season Texas cattle thus far have been comparative ly scarce at all the markets, and not enough have been received to keep na tive butcher stock down to a normal lfvel. Sheepmen's scant losses in Montana last year would indicate big crop to wine tills season. Also a good clip of Wool. Tfbt-rg Tracy. Morning Sun. Iowa, had two ear® of hugs on yesterday's market.

(Live Stock World) There has not been a time in years when the public protest against the advance in meat prices has been so strong as it has been lately, salesmen all over Chicago, and the same is true in other largo cities, say that their trade has fallen off 50 per cent during the past month. Shippers of live cattle and dressed beef to New York and other eastern points have the same complaint. The consuming public has taken on a streak of economy, which is unusual and unexpected. It is very fortunate that the supply of stock has been so small, for if receipts had been heavy under these conditions there would have been a smash in the market which would probably have more than equaled the advance made during the month of March. While it is true that many laboring people are Meat out of work there are enough able to stubbornly protesting against the re cent advance. Short supplies of live stock compel packers to pay pretty stiff prices, and they will not be inclined to lower meat values till they can get the raw material cheaper. 5.60: light, 5.25@5.50. message on the subject, and, in fact, he Sheep—Estimated receipts for today.

Under such circumstances such an elaborate, costly and useless investi gation as that proposed by Speaker Caituon and adopted by the house would not be seriously considered even purpose of deluding the people, president Roosevelt, the very dorn the tale. For this reason he is nlore than likely to send in another to several of his callers. Whatever may be thought as to the constitutionality of such an act, there is no doubt in the minds of most con gressmen that the remedy suggested by the president would put an end to a great many illegal combinations and would stop such exactions as that of which the paper trust has been guilty. The president in his message last March outlined his plan fully, and if a new message is sent in it will follow closely the lines of the one communi cated to congress about a month ago. His Previous Recommendation. In that general message President after explaining that the Sherman law was so faulty in many respects that prosecutions could nr- be successfully carried on, outlined his remedy as follows: "The substantive part of the ant' trust law should remain as at present: that is, every contract in restraint of trade or commerce among the several states or with foreign nations should continue to be declared illegal pro vided, however, that some proper gov ernmental authority, such as the com missioner of corporations, acting un der the secretary of commerce and la bor, be allowed to pass on any such contracts. Probably the best method of providing for this would be to enact that any contract, subject to prohihi- lion contained in the anti-trust law, into which it was desired to enter might be -filed with the bureau of cor porations or other appropriate execu tive body. This would provide pub licity. Within, say, sixty days of the filing—which period would be extended by order of the department whenever for any reason it did not give the de partment sufficient time for a thor ough examination—the executive de partment having the power might for bid the contract, which would then bp come subject to the provisions of the anti-trust law if at all in restraint of trade. If no such prohibition was is sued. the contract would then only be liable to attack on the ground that it constituted an unreasonable restraint of trade. Whenever the period of filing had passed without any such prohibi tion, contracts or combinations could be disapproved or forbidden only after notice and hearing, with a reasonable provision for summary review on ap peal by the courts." Costly Investigations Made. The record of the department of jus tice is full of stories of elaborate in vestigations conducted at great ex peiise by the government of one notor ious trust after another. These inves- —'Huh! ligations have generally developed it. Lots practically tile same state of affairs, members of the Associated That is. they have s-itisti' every one ire not on speaking terms with Ice For Sale! for immediate or future delivery. to a moral certainty that the corpora tion investigated was In reality defy ing the law and that it had crushed out all competition and enjoyed an actual monopoly of production and sale of so me special article. The dilticulty has been that in all these cases there lias been a direct failure to produce legal evidence. Ali ol tlie big corporations and trusts went about the work of combination carefully. They employed the best lawyers in the country to tell them just how far they could go without violat ing the law. Practically all of them have kept within this line. Their books and the story of their general opera tions do not reveal evidence enough to convince jury that they have boen guilty-of violating the anti-trust law. Oddity in the News Prince Seeks Work. Now York. l'rinee Constantino Palcologue of Greece is seeking work I- obtain a livelihood. He has proud ly relused all offers of aid. Thru newspaper advertising he is try ing to obtain a position as secretary, a tutor, or anything that will enable him to earn an honest living. "I must get employment of some kind," said Prince Palcologue thru his friend, Peter Geaneas, "and 1 hope that il will come soon." In yesterday's papers Mr. Geaneas, acting for the Prince, inserted the fol lowing advertisement: "Imperial Prince, single, or an ancient dethroned European family, living in cognito, wishes to acquire the friend ship of a distinguished American gen tleman. Apply by letter, Charles de Knox. .104 East Fourteenth street." Charles de Knox is the name used by .Mr. Geaneas, as the Prince did not intend for the present to reveal his identity. Prince Palcologue came to the United States from Alliens ten months ago, and for seven months was employed as a writer for a Greek newspaper at $15 a week. Three months ago he lost that position, and since then has had no employment. ".Many of the more prominent Greeks in Xew York have offered to assist the Prince." said Mr. Geaneas, "but he will not even accept a loan from t.hem. He is anxious to earn his own living. His ambition is to make a fortune and a reputation in the United States." Greece does not recognize the Prince as a member of a royal family, because of a decree that there shall be no im perial princes in that country except those of the reigning family. In Ven ice. where he has passed most of his 32 years, he is received among the no bility, as Count Velus and Vovondeus, a title which was oonferred on his family, and its descendants in 1722. In his family, the Prince says, -there have been twenty-seven emperors and fourteen kings. vt. Says Big Hats Stop Sermon. Alhlon, Mich.—Dr. F. E. Day of the Methodist church lias aroused the ire of the women by asking in a pub lic statement that Merry Widow hats be not present at his Easter services Sunday. "I don't see how can preach thru those flower gardens," says Rev. Mr. Day. "My sermons will surely lodge there. "I cannot understand how more than two of you women folks can get into my church at one time. Bring those things in baby carriages or wheelbarrows and then, won't it be a whole lot easier to wear them in your laps than on your heads after you get here?" Falls Far Keeps on Smoking. Chicago.—Ventura Dominico fell from the third story window of his home at 389 Grand avenue, to a ce ment pavement, early yesterday mor ning, without even extinguishing his pipe. When the police answered a "hurry up" call with an ambulance they saw Dominico calmly rise and walk into the house smoking his pipe. Domin ico says that after rising he lighted his pipe and leaned out of the win dow. He lost his balance and was precipitated to the pavement, loop ing the loop twice. But still he held his pipe in his teeth and retained pres ence of mind enough to keep it alight. Passers-by were shocked, but Domin ico was not particularly. Tramps Outwalk Their Dog Darby, Pa.—Because the animal was footsore and could accompany them no further on their wanderings, two tramps were given a night's lodging in Darby lockup this morning, kissed their little dog good-bye, and present ed it to Patrolman "Nick" Smith. The men are foreigners, and stated that the dog had joined them in Ham burg, Germ-any. They came to Amer ica as stowaways on a tank steamer, keeping the dog hidden all the way. The men walked to this place from Baltimore, and stood the strain very well, but the dog was exhausted.. Ends Life as Wife Worships. Ithaca, N. Y.—After he had insisted on sending his wife to attend Easter services in a Peruville church, Henry Lombard, 55 years old, a carriage trimmer, locked the doors of his house and cut the arteries of his wrists. Neighbors forced the door and Mrs. Lumbard found her husband lying dead in a pool of blood. Guarsn First-class ice in car load lots for sale,either Marshall Ice Co. Marshalltown, la.
