VOLUME THIRTY-FOUR. Congressman Rodenberg, of Illi nois, Makes Red Hot Speech on Politics in House W. J. BRYAN IS CRITICIZED 8orrow Expressed for Nebraskan Be cause Fate of Grover Cleveland Awaits Him—Bryan Doomed to Walk the Political Gangplank—Has Noth ing in Common With Roosevelt. Washington. April 27.—The demo crats and William J. Bryan in par ticular, were criticized in the house of representatives today by Mr. Roden berg. of Illinois. He began by re ferring to "the 'terror that struck his epul" when as anew member he "trem bled with fear as some democratic member, in deep sepulchral tones, that smacked of the gloomy depths of the cheerless tomb, arose in his seat and, assuming the attitude of Ajax defying the lightning, hurled anathema upon anathema at our devoted heads and predicted the overthrow, swift, sure end immediate of the republican ma jority in this house. In the still small •hours of the sluimberless night my tortured soul cried out aloud: 'Oh Lord, what must I do to be saved?' It is all different now. Democracy's dismal and doleful note of warning, which from time immemorial has been sounded in this chamber at regular intervals of two years, no longer terrifies—it sim ply amuses. What once was high trag edy Is now only comic opera." The Democrats Are Pessimistic. (Launching into an analysis of "What is a democrat," Mr. Kodenberg said that the average democratic statesman always had been a disciple of the doc trine of despair. "His is the philosophy of pessimism. His face is ever turned towards the setting and not the ris /jug sun. 'He is never so much at peace with himself as when he is quar reling with someone else. Instinctive ly, he prefers a funeral dirge to a wedding march, and believes that the song of the dying swan would make a most glorious national anthem. 1 He is happy only when his fellow men are sad. Night afteo- night he sends up a fervent petition to the Great White Throne, asking the good Lord above to visit his children with some great disaster, such as fire, or fever, flood or famine, drouth or death, earthquake Shock or ocean storm, for in a visita tion of that kind his moaibid and mel ancholy mind thinks it sees some promising political possibilities 1 fi. (nn Rruar Has Sympathy for Bryan. Mr. Rodenberg said that the demo crats were trying to extract some com fort out of the fact that the republi cans were not a unit as to who should lead them to victory in November, but he was proud to state that the repub lican party was not the personal as set of any individual. No man, he as serted, held a mortgage on its princi ples, its policies or its purposes, and it had never issued a commission in perpetuity to anyone to write its plat forms and do all its thinking. "Thank God" he exclaimed, "it has never been afflicted with a political Sindbad. an Old Man of the Sea, who has secured a strangle hold on its windpipe and choked it into abject submission to his every whim and caprice. In all its history the republican party had never developed a perennial disappearless leader who arrogates to himself the sole power of political excommunica tion." The democrats, he declared, long since had lost their courage, in dependence, and manhood "You have." he said, addressing the democrats, "been compelled to accept Bryan with all his idiosyncrasies or suffer the consequences of his mighty wrath. You have not been converted you are still the same old Sau' of Tarsus. But your feigned loyalty won't last. You can't keep up the delusion. The history of the democratic party teaches us that the glory of today is the pathos of to morrow." He spoke of Grover Cleve land, in that connection, as "the un crowned hero," to whom the democrats swore undying fealty and devotion, but, he said, "when I contemplate the fate of Grover Cleveland, when I recall the once high estate of that discarded and forgotten idol of yours, then Indeed do I feel sorry for one William Jennings Bryan." The day would come, he pre dicted, and it was not far distant, when Bryan would be made to walk the gangplank of democratic decapitation and go to his political grave, "unhon ored, unwept and unsung." He gloried In the fact that the republican party always had been opposed on principle "to the incorporation of a presidential nomination trust," and that there was a division among republicans as to the personality of their candidate for pres- Ident. Compares Roosevelt and Bryan. Tracing the developments of t'he last several presidential campaigns. Mr. Rodenberg further referring to Mr. Bryan and his paper. The 'ommurii-r. aa well, said that he didn't know what the paramount issue this year would be, but he was prepared "for almost any old thing." "I wouldn't be sur prised," he said, "to find in the demo ocratic platform this year a declaration to the effect that the only clean, legit imate untainted money In the United States is that which is derived from the lecture platform and from the pub lication of the Commoner, a newspa per which, with a becoming sense of nmdest.v seldom mentions the name of its editor oftener than one hundred Unit's in any issue." Mr. Rodenberg' held up two copies of the Commoner, in one of which lie said Bryan's name was mentioned 135 times, and in the other 108 times. "Miloh stress will no doubt be laid on democracy's pretended friendship for labor. Crocodile tears will bo shed in great abundance by the democratic spellbinder in 1008 as he tells* of the heroic efforts of the minority in this house to enact legislation in behalf of the horny-handed sons of toil, ami yet an examination of the record will dis close the fact that Mie only place in this country where labor is underpaid, where the efforts of workingmeti to organize themselves into unions meet with determined opposition, and where few laws favorable to the cause of toil have .been incorporated into the stat utes, are the states that have never given an electoral vote to the republi can party." Mr. Rodenberg closed by contrast ing Bryan and Roosevelt, asserting Miere was nothing in common between them. "One is the antithesis of the other. Roosevelt is a practical states man, the other an impractical dreamer: one is patriotic, the other is simplv platitudinous: one is constructive, the other destructive: one believes in in telligent action, the other in unintelli gent agitation." SLIDE BURIES TOWN Thirty Inhabitants of Notre Dame de Salette, Canada, Die Under Tons of Earth. Buckingham, Ont., April 27.—Half the little French hamlet of Notre Dame de Salette, sixteen miles from here on the Lievre river, lies buried under a sliding mountain, and at least thirty of its small population are known to have perished. The hamlet has no telephone or tel egraph, and neither is it on a railroad. Meager bits of news of the disaster come in by messenger from the phy sicians and other rescuers who were hurried there when the first calls for aid came at early morning. Spring rains for days past have been melting the snow and ice on the mountainside above the hamlet, and streams have been cutting new beds in their rush to the river below. At 5 o'clock Sunday morning, just as the little hamlet began to depart for early mass, part of the mountain started to slide toward the river. It tore a path of death and destruc tion for its way, and those who were not killed when their homes were en gulfed were left buried under the mass of rock" and earth. De Salette, like many hamlets of its kind, rambles into gardens and little fields on the mountain side, so about half of it was not in the path of the avalanche. The sliding mass rushed with a roar and spread fanlike over part of the place and dumped itself in the swollen stream at its foot. Cut off from the outside world, mes sengers were dispatched to Poupere, the nearest hamlet. Buckingham was appealed to, but the flight of the mes sengers across the spring roads was slow. Those first on the scene found De Salette in a panic, with the unin jured ones packing their belongings for flight. The first messengers to Bucking ham ordered twenty-five coffins to be sent to De Salette, and all the physi cians of the town were hurried across country with rescue parties. Notre Dame de Salette is situated in the center of the white pine lands of Canada, from which the greater part of the wood used in the production of paper pulp is produced. The catastrophe at Notre Dame de Salette was a repetition of the one which in 1903 swept down from the hills twelve miles north of Buckingham and carried acres of mud into the stream of the Lievre river, nearly a mile from the mountainside. The flow of the stream was practically stopped by this avalanche and traffic was cut off. This slide was three-quarters of a mile in width, and the property dam age done amounted to many thou sands of dollars. W. D. HAYWOOD IS OUSTED. Socialistic Tendencies of Former Sec retary Said to Be Responsible. •Denver, Col., April 27.—Announce ment was made in the current issue of the Miners' Magazine, the official organ of the Western Federation of Miners, over the signature of C. E. Mahoney, first vice president and act ing president of the organization, that the executive board has terminated the services of William D. Haywood, as a representative of the federation in the field. Last December, after Haywood's ac quittal at Boise, Idaho, on t'he charge of complicity in the .murder of former Governor Steunenburg, he was super seded as secretary-treasury of the fed eration. Since that time he has been employed as a lecturer and organizer. It is estimated that the executive board disapproved of his activity in the ad vocacy of socialistic theories.

Washington, April 27.—The select committee of the house, appointed by Speaker Cannon to inquire into th«i complaint of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association regarding the price of print paper in the United I states, continued its hearing today.

The standpat managers of the banquet had carefully arranged for only standpat speakers and further had arranged that no progressives should sit close to Mr. Taft. Mr. Young in speaking told of his "long and intimate acquaint ance" with the secretary of war and with a show at oratory said he had "encircled the globe" with him, Mr. Taft was fearful that the audi ence would overestimate the impor tance of the Philippine junket, and after acknowledging the courteous things that had been said about him by Mr. Young and others said: "You know we had to take a great many people along on that trip to fill the upper berths. It is needless to say that all the progressives present (but none of the standpatters) saw the point to the joke and enjoyed a good laugh. Since that time Mr. Young has been showing signs of fulfilling the proph ecy of many politicians that on the re publican delegation from this state he would be for the man that wins." Some days ago he objected to Copeland, of Burlington, as a presidential elector at-large, because he was too good a Taft man, saying that Copeland would not vote for Cannon for president. Following this up, he has said nice things about the members of the New York delegation to the national con vention, all of whom are pledged to Hughes for president. Every effort is being made to make the Dolliver meeting here Tuesday night a big success. Senator Dolliver speaks at the Auditorium on Tuesday night in favor of the nomination of William B. Allison for senator. It is proposed to make much of this speech of Dolliver in Cummins' home town and to ensure a very large attendance at the meeting of standpatters in the towns surrounding Des Moines are be ing asked to sign pledges to attend. They are promised special trains on the return trip after the address, so that they can get back home the same night. ELDORA PLANS COMPLETE. Rev. M. N.

Chicago, April 27.—President Roose velt is not going on a tour around the world after he leaves the White House, according to Walter Wellman, in a Washington dispatch. The president has declared that he will never place himself in a position where he would have to endure entertainment as some thing less than the equal of those with whom he has recently stood on terms of equality. The president added that for himself personally he did not care, ,bir: he thought it beneath the dignity for the great office of president to put himself in such a position. If he could travel abroad without being entertained as a former president he would be glad to make the tour.

London, April 27.—The funeral serv ice of the Church of England was solemnized in Westminster abbey at noon today over the body of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, late premier of Great Britain, in the presence of a large gathering representing the polit ical life of England. After the serv ice a short procession moved from the abbey to Easton station, where a special train took the coffin and some of Sir Henry's relatives and closcst friends to Scotland. It was a typical gloomy London day, and a dismal rain was falling when the cortege made its way thru the .streets. The abbey and the railroad station each had its crowd of spec tators, who found shelter from the weather under a sea of umbrellas. The last time the body of a premier of England was taken to Westminster abbey was in 1898, when Gladstone was buried there. The ceremony of today held much less of display than was seen when Gladstone was laid at rest, but the grandeur of the abbey and the character of those who assembled for the last honors to Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman formed a note worthy historical scene. Scores of the former premier's political associates were present, but his two predecessors in office, Balfour and Rosebery, were unable to attend. Today was the first •time in history that the funeral of a premier or ex-premier has occurred from the historic residence of the Brit ish prime ministers in Downing street. REQUIEM FOR DE CHAULNES.

St. L. lost on both "its gross and net receipts, the Iowa Central made gains in both over the previous years business. The reports cover the year 1907. The Iowa Central shows furthermore that it made a gain ol 14 per cent in its passenger re ceipts over the business done in 1906 and a considerable increase in the freight. The reports cover six months of. the two-cent fare law. The Burlington and Northwestern routes are the only large concerns that have not thus far filed reports. The gains .of the Iowa Central in its pas senger faxe transportation is exceeded .thus far by the Rock Island only, 'which has made a gain of 17 per cent. "It is evident from the reports that have been thus far filed with the council that the railroads of Iowa have not ea joyed the increase in prosperity in 1907 over that of the previous year, tho practically every line has kept up to or nearly up to the high water mark of 1906. During 1906 the roads all made unprecedented, gains in busi ness over the year before. Last year they about held their own, tho a few fell back slightly. Wherever a rail road has increased Its gross receipts the increase is found mostly in the passenger transportation, which for six months of 1907 was on a 2-cent fare basis. Many that have held their own have done so1 because of the increase rC'(ln the passenger transportation re ceipts. The five principal roads that have thus far reported show the following ^comparisons in gross receipts: Bock Island for 1907, .113,671,047 1906, $13, 945,699 Great Western 1907, $3,531, l« 658 1906, $5,434,846 Dubuque Sioux City, 1907, $5,139,583 1906, $4. 056,674 M.

Hull is no longer a resident at the Seventh congressional ott Iowa, whioh he represents in congress, tho the Des Moines city directory still oohtlnues to give his residence at 24®2 Forest Drive.

Special to Times-Republican. Algona, April 27.—A Lett's Creek farmer is the victim of what is be lieved to be a smooth swindle of a new type. A well dressed chap, wearing glasses, went thru the country and stopped at several places and stated that he was authorized to test cows for tuberculosis. He then went on with the test, or mock testj perhaps, and told the farmer that ten of his fourteen cows, the pick of the herd, were tuber cular and that he should dispose of them. The farmer felt pretty bad over the raatter and asked if he should kill them. The fellow said that he need not kill them, but if he got a chance to sell them to someone who would take them out of the state he might do that and get something out of them. The fellow then went on to test other herds. It was the second day after tills In cident that an elderly man came along looking for cows that were for sale. Ho came to this farmer and stated what he wanted, and the farmer was anxious to sell those ten cows and let the stranger have those ten best cows at $15 or $16 a head. The buyer took them off, and then the farmer and his neigh bors began to think that perhaps the young man and the old man were in some way connected with each other. At all events the old man got the cows pretty cheap. NEW PASTOR AT GRUNDY. Rev. L. P. Krome Called to Congrega tional Church—Local Notes. Special to Times-Republican. Grundy Center, April 27.—Rev. L.

Arrangements have been made to lease the Beokman block, just adjoin ing the business houses on .the north, to use as a ball park, and the team will be organized out of about fifteen can didates who 'have already expressed their willingness to practice during the season. The difficulty with a town team heretofore, has always been the distance of the fair grounds from town, and the difficulty of practicing at that distance. This objection is removed by the leasing of the Beckman property adjoining the Main street. George Bingfang has completed the purchase of the corner store building, now occupied by H. W. Engelkes as a furniture store and he expects to imake extensive Improvements In the property this summer. Attorney A. N.

That distends the stomach, causing symptoms often called heart trouble. Undigested food decays and breeds germs. The germs create poisons, and the food ducts of the bowels suck those poisons into the blood. That leads to blood impurity, and all its results. Often to kidney trouble. Then food that fails to digest is wasted, and Hie body is robbed of its nourishment. In these ways scores of serious troubles are due solely to Indigestion. The remedy Is to rPlieve the stomach. To let Kodol, for a little time, do its work for it. Tonics and stimulants only spur the stomach to action. It is like whipping a tired horse. The food must be digested, for you must have food. And you must stop the Irritation. Kodol digests all food, immediately and completely. The result Is relief and rest. You will be astonished to see how quickly the stomach recovers then. Kodol fs not like anything else. Most digesters depend almost solely on pepsin, and pepsin digests only albumen. Starch requires something else fat something •lse. A perfect digester must digest every food. FORESIGHT IAND: HINDSIGHT "If my for«slflht had been good as my hindsight ia, I would be several thousand dollars bet ter off today," said the man who was burned out without any in surance to cover his loss. The old saying that "art ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is particularly applicable to fire insurance. By the invest ment of a few dollars you might save yourself the loss of thous ands. Now is a good time to take on insurance. The fire risk is great er in winter. A defective flue or the careless dropping of a match might leave you homeless. We represent only A1 Com panies. '5 R. A. SALISBURY —Ben Franklin.

Would it not be a good Idea to have what we mi^Ut call a "Good Roads Day." under the management ol' the merchants' and traveling men's clubs, to try and better the roads leading to our city? There are thousands of loads of cinders that the factories of Marshalltown will be glad to have us take away. The day could be set aside for work by everyone, other business being suspended. All who could not furnish teams tor that day should do nate enough money to hire one, and we could have at least 500 teams in line, and continue the road from the city park north. If we could complete but one mile on that date, it would be a start in the right direction. We have no excuse to offer for the kind of roads leading out of our city. Look at the roads leading out of Jefferson and Carroll for miles there are no better in the state. If you have not driven to the Country club this spring, I would advise you to take a trip in that direction and see what L.. R. Maxwell, the president of the club, has accomplished with but little ense. Let us get busy before some u. the towns near by ship out our cinders. Marshalltown is said to be one of the prettiest cities in Iowa, partly owing to the interest the people take in their homes and in keeping their lawns in such line shape. If the mayor will now enforce the ordinance as regards clean ing up the alleys, we will have less sickness and it will improve the city wonderfully. The traveling men of Marshalltown should try and be at home Tuesday, June 2, primary election day. It is a duty we owe ourselves and the state to vote on that day. Don't let it be said of the traveling men, "They tuke no interest in the welfare of our state." C. H.

DOG'S INTELLIGENCE SAVES HIM Shut Up in House Being Fumigated, He Finds Fresh Air. Speclnl to Times-Republican. Eldora, April :!?.—The family of ex Mayor Gilman, of Khlora, has been quarantined for the piist several weeks for scarlet fever.

Before fitml gciting the doctor directed that all win dows and outside doors should be tightly closed after all the plants had been taken out and the family had moved out for the day. In some unknown manner the family dog, a fine Scotch collie, was left in the house, the doctor not discovering its presence when he fumigated. But fortunately a window In the bath room was left up a few inches and when the family returned to the home In the ev ening. they found the collie with his /ore feet up on the window sill and his nose stuck out the small opening made by the raised window, doing his best to get what fresh air he could. None of the family were near the house during the day and it is quite certain that the dog must have spent the day from 8 o'clock In the morning until 3 o'clock In the afternoon at the window doing his best to stay alive. Tho the dog was much exhausted by the long strain, he seemed to be in his usual spirits the next day. SPENCER BEATS PRIMGHAR. Extensive Improvements Made on Ball Park at Former Place.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager. Brunswick ~3ulldlng, New York, N. Y. SOME MORE LYING. "In looking at the empty state treas ury, liear In mind that the present ad •mlnHstration began with a million dol lar surplus and has since had the benefit of greatly Increased taxation for stale purposes. If you will do that you will, in a sense, realize what In competent business management we have had in this state of late. But we have had plenty of politics."—Cedar Rapids Republican. "The most careful scrutiny of the governor's speeches to the farmers of Iowa falls to disclose any explanation of the fact that, when he became governor of tho state, Iowa had $1,000, 000 to her credit, While at the present time, there isn't a dollar In the treasury."—'Council 'Bluffs Nonpareil. The above nre characteristic of the charge that is being reiterated by all of the antl-'Oummins papers. The facts are, according to State Treasurer Mor row, himself a standpatter, but an honest man, as follows: Last Saturday night the treasury balance was $691, 034.55 on hand. On tho day that the Nonpareil published Its article, the balance was more than half a million. Furthermore when Cummins became governor in 1902 the balance was $780, 327 and had never reached the million mark except under 'his administration. In his second year It went 'to $926,916, then to $1,19S,754. On the other hand when Frank Jackson became governor tho state's balance was $213,665, and altho he is one of tihe admired leaders of standpatism today, the best he could turn over to his successor, Drake, was $72,425. Shaw began with $100,130, and we will all admit ithat Shaw's '•business management" as mentioned by the Cedar Rapids Republican, has always been competent. He turned over to Cummins $780,327. The facts are that the appropriations commit tees of the legislatures under all gov ernors have had control of the treas ury balances. The only thing Cummins has done Is to secure legislation charg ing interest on the deposits of state money in the banks of Des Moines and this nets the state almost $25,000 per. year. Under fonmer governors their friends gat the use of the money in return for political support. The man who aays that a million dollar surplus was both received and dissipated, lies twice. The man who says that there Isn't a dollar in the treasury, lies more than a half mlllton dollars. We are getting plenty of politics every day. A MISSPENT LIFE. A talented man possessing weatth and the opportunity to accomplish much good for his fellow men, has just died at Bedford, Iowa. His life went out amid squalor. .No friend or relative was present to comfort him in his illness or to perform the last offices for the dying. This man's con dition and surroundings were of his own choosing, and his mode of life and his wretched death the foolish burden of a disappointed man. For forty years Dr, A. M. Golliday lived the life of a recluse because of unrequited love. He was educated, cultured, proficient as a physician, and gained a large clientelle early in his career. He amassed a fortune in a few years and counted a Bedford belle, who gave her affections to a poor soldier boy just home from the war. Golliday, disappointed, proceeded to demon strate his unworthiiness. A weaker man might have sought solace in dis sipation, squandered his wea'lth in riotous living and gone to an early grave mourned for what he had once been. Golliday chose a different course, but one just as foolish and cowardly. He neglected his practice, and finally "built a cabin near his of fice, surrounded lvis home with a high fence, and shut himself away from the world. He lived with his books and with regret for what might have been. He shunned both men and women, and grew slovenly and uncouth. He de generated. He gave the habitat of his soul no grea.ter attention than 'he did that flf his body, and died as he had chosen .to live, unloved and uninourned. In his hovel was found almost $50, 000, the remnant of his fortune. Dr. Golliday threw away an oppor tunity to remain an honored and use ful cIMzen and to gain happiness in doing Dor others. With his talents and his fortune joy would have come by devotion to 'his profession, alleviating the sufferings of the afflicted and re lieving the poor in purse. Golliday was a coward. The cell of a monasteiy would have afforded the desired seclu sion and association with the good monks and the discipline of their lives would have kept his body clean. I^ven the poison potion of Romeo would have been a more manly death.

As an evidence of what the country gets for the Increase from $5,000 to $7,500 per year which the congress men have voted themselves, should be studied the official statement sent out to the daily pross by tho secretary of the Assoclatedd Press. It Is as fol lows: Sir: I havo the honor to inform you that at the annual meeting of The Associated Press held this day the fol lowing address was adopted, and I was directed to transmit the same to you: Representatives of 774 dally news papers gathered at the annual meeting of Tho Associated Press, respectfully asJi the president and congress to grant Immediate relief from the exactions of combinations of paper makers. In September, 1907, and again in Novem ber, 1907, the attention of tho author ities was directed to the excessive prices then demanded by the paper combination. (Immediately upon the assembling .of congress, twenty or more bills aiming to correct these con ditions and to put paper pulp on tin free list were introduced and referred to the ways and means committee. Persistent efforts to obtain a hearing have been refused. Dilatory tactics havo been employed to prolong 'present conditions and to carry over to an other session of congress every prop osition designed for relief. Alt news papers hero represented protest against delay. Attention is also directed to the false reports of news print paper prices which were recently furnished to congress by the director of the census ibureau. The newspapers .here repre sented use approximately 80 per cent of the news print paper consumed In the United States. We denounce the quotations as submitted to congress as 'misleading and unworthy of credence. The .reiteration vf the accuracy of these figures of the director after the error had been called to public attention tends to shake public confidence anl respect for statistics thus complied. Yours truly, MELVITjTiB E. STONE. 53ec. The Associated Press. Topics of the Times If Senator Allison Is so hale and hearty and so hard at work, why not let .him come to Iowa and meet a few of the voters after congress adjourns on May 6. There is not a stand pat, daily .in Iowa that dares to endorse this suggestion. In Burlington, N. J., the usherrs of one of the churches have refused to work after attempting for two weeks to seat six women in pews which are only wide enough for three hats. One can almost hear that chuckle of ilnghham's sixty miles away when Lafe laments the loss of Ingham's Job as regent being the victim of bossism. We've heard him laugh about it be fore. This is the toest evasion t,aife can make: "Who are the anti-Allison fel lows that they should be so pompously insistent about demanding pledges from other people?" An Towa man declared the other day that he could prefix four "ex's" to his name he was an ex-soldle.r, ex preacher, ex-teacher and ex-farmer. The next change, he added, would probably be ex-it. Several publishers of the state are falling in with the spirit of improve ment that pervades their respective towns, by changing their weekly pa pers into semi-weeklies. .Recent experiences in the line of labor troinbles are affording some good object lessons on the advantages and disadvantages of the establishment of factories in Iowa towns. .1 The continued prosperity of this part of the world depends a whole lot just now on the condition of the contents of sundry bags and barrels Into which the farmer has placed his supply of seed corn. "Laura," growled the husband, "what have you taken all my clothes out of the closet for?" "Now there's no use in your mak ing any fuss abou.t it, George," said his wife, with a note of defiance in her voice, "I just had to have some place where I could hang my new spring hat." If Jim Good can carry Linn county as the Cedar Rapids men insist that he will do, what ought the other coun ties to do for him? Ho! ho! Who's the business man and who's the politician now? A year ago the United States treasury bal ance was $55,000,000 and now It shows Uncle Sam $47,000,000 in the hole. Sen ator .Allison has been chairman of the senate appropriations committee all the time. This question is addressed only to those who have been lying about a treasury deficit which does not exist in 'the Iowa treasury. Honest men can view these tilings with common sense. The president's messages have lost their effect. Congress has learned that they are harmless. The president ought to join the insurgents in some of the congressional districts and then con gress would show him more respect and attention. The Baltimore News says that "Sen ator Allison, with all the record of excellent service behind him is yet so old and feeble that his hand must be losing Its cunning. He is unable to take part personally in his canvass for re-election, but is compelled to rely -^'•-r iv upon friends to perform that offico for him. There In no probability that if elected lie would bo In any better health than now, or more able to give the state tho active service that should be accorded a commonwealth in Its representation at Washington. Senti ment might keep .him In office, but the times require men of more modern out look and ideas that the venerable sen ator Illustrates." IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES "If the Allison managers are wise they will turn the Junior senator loose In the reservutlon first end get him on record for Allison,' ndvises the Mit chell County Press. "If he should feel the public pulse in the north part of the state before delivering Ills address he might flop and deliver a rip roaring Cummins speech." The Cedar Rapids Gazette believes tlist "what is needed Is not so much a law that will provide more money as a statute that will guamntae beyond per adventure the safety of bank dep a s." "let's have a man in the senate" savs the Uockford Register, "who will not be ashamed to support a measure If he thinks it a good piece of legis lation, and who if he thinks it defect ive, useless arid pernicious, will come out squarefooted against It." The Webster City Freeman-Tribuno predicts that "in twenty years the three recognized great governors of Iowa will be Klrkwood, Larrabee and Cummins. These men did something, aind were most bitterly assailed by the interests that could not control or brow®ear thern." Noting'that Dolliver Is coming to take the stump for Allison, the Odebolt Chronicle exclaims: "Good! They al ways have to put a ring In his nose and haul him into a fight, and then he gives one punch and runs away. His speeches make votes for Cummins and Injure Dolliver, for the people of Iowa know that he is indebted for his seat In the senate to the magnanimity of the governor. Dolliver Is the most per fect specimen of an ingrate who ever misrepresented Iowa voters." Looker-On In Iowa Radcliffe, April 27.—Mr. F. 10. Do Marsha, a druggist of this place, has a bull: dog that has very much in creased in value since performing an unusual stunt the other morning. De Marsha and the bull dog were com parative strangers at the time, as he was a recent arrival from Sioux City, so when in the darkness of the morn ing, while Mr. De Marsha was in bed and the bull dog took hold of the arm of his nightshirt—De Marsha's arm in side—and began to pull, the man thought best to yield to brute force and get up. It was well that he did, for by some carelessness a water tank was overflowing and flooding his rooms over the store. Mr. De Marsha JO&2..

They stand ready to meet all comers, and will accept challenges from any club. It has been supposed for many years that the "women folks" found much ol' the pleasure of croquet In the "dis cussions that arise during the progress of the game, but spectators at Hamp ton, mention that in some close games on this ground a great deal of eloquence heard. Hardin county has the reputation of having a large number of preachers that are opposed to Cummins because he is not a prohibitionist, and they are credited with doing active work to de feat him as they have a perfect right to do, if that is a good reason for de feating a candidate for the United States senate. Strange -to relate around Hubbard, In the same county, the •standpatters are working with the Germans to defeat Cummins "because the governor closed up the saloons at Davenport." Of course they have a per fect right so to do if that Is a good reason for defeating a candidate for the U. S. senate. In this way they catch the voters "a coming and a go ing," while the state of Dubuque does business in quiet peace with Mr. Al l:son.

Sheffield, the tele phone man at Belmond, as well as quite a stock man, recently related to an awe-stricken audience his experience with Iowa blizzards. It's fair to say the others told their stories tirst. "In the winter of '73, hard times year, I was feeding 200 head of cattle on iny farm north of here. It had snowed Incessantly for three days and three nights, tho wind blowing sixty miles an hour and the drifts In some places as high as tho Methodist church. My cattle had no shelter and of course I could do nothing to save them. Finally It stopped snowing, the wind went down and so did the ther mometer to 35 degrees below zero. The next morning I started out expecting the whole bunch was dead and buried in the snow and what do you think I found? A circle of steers standing up and froz A circle of steers standing up and froz en stiff, but inside something alive. So I got an axe and chopped a gateway thru the circle and found 160 head in fine condition. Those on the outside frozen as they were, formed a barri cade that saved the others." One of the enforced, strictly enforced rules on the Belmond exchange line, is "tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." 4 1 Get Van water—|hen Let our chef cook for you.

Stampede Marks the Finish ot the Organized Opposition to War Secretary ALL OVER BUT THE FORMALITY Taft Secures Big End of Delegates Named Last Week—Depew Explains That Slump of Allies is Because They Love Roosevelt Less—Feared Third Term. Washington, April 27.—The confer ence hero of Secretary Taft and Ilia mahagers, A. I. Vorys of Ohio and F. H. Hitchcock of Washington, with his financial backer, Charles P. Toft, has today brought out the fact that tho entire opposition to Judge Taft's nom ination has yielded. This includes even Senators Hale and Aldrich, and it is hinted that even Senator Crane of Massachusetts Is concealed in the Taft band wagon. Mr. Hale, it is expected, will see that Maine instructs for Taft and Mr. Aldrich will deliver the vote of Rhode Island to the secretary. These were the strongest reactionaries working against the nomination of Judge Taft. It is further to be noted that the Standard Oil and Harriman interests, which were supposed to bo putting up most of the coin for the tight against the secretary of war have also given up and have conceded Judge Taft's nomination on the first ballot. All Over But Details. The Taft people are now devoting their attention to the organization of the Chicago convention, believing that there is nothing else left to do. One question they are trying to decide Is the temporary chairmanship. The president hod suggested Senator Beveridge, but altho he wrote to that effect to Harry New, chairman of the national committee, the latter has taken no action, and it may be that Senator Dolliver of Iowa will be se lected for the place. The Taft people want some one for temporary chairman who is a great national spellbinder, and who can sound a keynote in the convention which will do some good in the campaign. The selection doubt less rests between Beveridge and Dol liver. For permanent chairman both the president and the Taft forces general ly look with much favor upon Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. Taft Delegation 300 Strong. Since last Saturday forty-eight del egates have been elected to the Chi cago convention, only four of whom were instructed against Secretary Taft, these being Hughes delegates in two New York districts. Of the re maining forty-four, eighteen were in structed for Taft and four were con tested. More than half of the unin structed twenty-two declared prefer ence for Taft. The total number of delegates now elected is 594, of which number the Taft managers in this city claim an even 300, not including eigh ty-three unlnstructed delegates, a ma jority of whom have expressed pref erence for Taft. There are 272 dele gates for Taft without contest, this including contests in Tennessee and Oklahoma, which it is claimed are among the Taft adherents. The state nient handed to the correspondents from the bureau of the "allies" says in part: "Five hundred and ninety-two dele gates have been elected, of which num ber 195 are instructed for Taft, 82 un lnstructed, 78 contested, and 237 un structed for the opposition. A liberal estimate of the Taft strength would be 250 votes, which leaves to the oppo sition 243 votes." Ten state conventions will be held this week for the selection of delegates to the Chicago convention. The states Include West Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arkansas, Maine, Col orado, Vermont, Maryland, Missis sippi, and South Carolina. One of the Alabama state conventions also will be held, two having been announced.

The story of the way in which such reactionaries as Senator Hale of Maine and Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, father-in-law of Standard Oil, were induced to climb into the Taft bandwagon is tickling all Washing ton- Senator Depew relates it the best of any who have so far attempted it. "The present political situation is without a parallel in the history of the republican party, and I ought to know because I have been going to republi can national conventions for just fifty years. In every other campaign there has been a candidate with a strong personal following composed of men willing at any spot or place on the road to take off their coats and fight for the man of their choice. Grant had such a following Blaine had. Harrison •had, Garfield had, and many other had. But in this campaign none of the can didates have. Uncle Joe Cannon has not, and neither has Fairbanks, Knox, Htighes or Taft. The latter is recog nized as a gTeat and .good man, but his personal (following all comes by way of Theodore Roosevelt. He is the one man who has the following." Again, the "Third Term." "Now the realization of thts 'has suddenly come home to some of our friends with peculiar force. They have asked themselves what would happen if the Chicago convention should fail to nominate Taft oil the first ballot. And they have read the answer in the stars. It was plannly written in flam ing words across the sky from one horizon to the other. If Taft failed to get there on the lirst ballot and some one eihould get up and yell 'Give us four years more of Theodore,' the roof would then and theTe fly oft the con vention hall and the president would be renominated in fifteen minutes. Then the convention would adjourn and the president would not be able to find any one to whom to hand his resignation, ao matter how badlx -fee For Constipation. Mr. I. H.

The Stove Store 35 West Main Street Marshalltown Marshalltown is to have a $200,000 bank and one oX tho largest banking rooms in the state. At a meeting- of tho stockholders of the First National Bank, held this morning, the proposi tion voted upon favorably by tho stock holders of the City National Bank, last Thursday, was adopted and the two banks will bo consolidated on May 4, under tho namo of First National Bank, of Marshalltown, Iowa, with ft capital of $200,000, surplus of $10,000, and deposits of approximately a mil lion and a quarter of dollars. The City National will move tem porarily to the banking: rooms of the First National, where the consolidated bank will be conducted until elaborate and extensive improvements are made in the present City National building for the permanent home of tho new bank. The reorganization is made with a $10,000 surplus, because the present First National has a surplus of $5,000, and the City National puts in a like amount. Th6 banking law provides that 10 per cent of the bank's profits shall be carried to surplus until the surplus reaches 20 per cent of the cap ital, which, in this case, would be $40, 000, and it is the intention of the stockholders to accumulate a larger surplus even faster than the law pro vides. Large Banking Rooms. When completed Marshalltown will have one of the largest and most com pletely equipped banking rooms in Iowa, covering two store fronts and occupying the full depth of the build ing, 120 feet. The present front will be taken down to the extent of the first story and a new front erected with a double door and ornamental columns leading into the double room which will include the present banking room of the City National bank and t'he store room recently occupied by the Fair store for its clothing and shoe de partment. Inside this new banking room there will be an Immense lobby with seats, desks, marble columns, marble wainscoting and mosiac floor. On each corner of the building -will be a plate glass bay win dow with a public office room for pat rons looking out of one bay window and the president's business reception room looking out of the other. The regular commercial banking business will be conducted on the east side of the room with counters for two receiving tellers, one paying teller and a colletion clerk. Back of these money counters will be the stenographers desk and telephone booths and back of them in the rear of the present City National money vaults will be a large room for the bookkeeping department. In the rear of this and in the corner of the building formerly occupied by the Pos tal Telegraph Company's office, will b.? a large room for directors, which will be offered for public committee meet ings of all kinds. On the west side of the room provision will be made for the enlargement of the present savings department of the City National, which may or may not take on the propor tions of a separate banking company, according as seems wise to the stock holders, but which are not now con templated in the reorganization. Back of this will be a very large and com modious new vault for safety deposit boxes with the necessary private booths, etc. New fixtures thruout will be pro vided so that the entire room will be finished in harmony and with the best taste that competent architects can display. It is expected that these al terations will consume three months' lime after which the new and greater First 'National Bajik will be located In the remodeled home of the City Na- BANKS CONSOLIDATE $200,000 CAPITAL City National Merged With First National latters Name, Former's Hank Building NEW AND ELEGANT BANK ROOMS Stockholders Vote Today to Consoli date the Two National Banks of the City, Under Name of First National Bank, With $200,000 of Capital and $10,000 of Surplus Combined De posits Will Be Nearly Million and Quarter Large Double Banking Room to Be Built, With Complete New Fixtures and Finished in Mar ble Mr. Denmead Will Be Presi dent. •14 weJ«V feVSrwr--- (3 JiTffr Times-llEjmliltam, Joura lional with the name of tho First Na tional.

McCord, pastor of the Presbyterian church did some plain speaking In his Sunday night sermon, talking on local church conditions. His general subject was "Local Religious Conditions and Some Suggested Re forms." For the evening Mr. MoCord took up the .branch of necessity, and asked: "Are tho churches of Marshalltown a necessity? Are tfhey meeting this ne cessity?" The pastor stated that they were a necessity and that they were not meeting the necessity. The answers to these questions were based on the answers to letters ad dressed to sixty-five working, business, and professional men of tho city. All were unanimous In answering affirm atively to 'the first question. One man said: "I have lived in a community where there were no churches, and even the saloons saw Bhe necessity of contributing about $100 to build one." To the second part of the question practically aJl the answers were in the negative. Of course some answers were more positive than others. A sample of the extreme is as follows: "In a very, very limited capacity. Be ing organized to always receive (ma terial aid and never to grant it as an organization, places the church outside of being appealed to, even in cases of starvation." The pastor devoted .most of his time to the discussion of these answers, and argued that the churdh had cheap ened its position by Its catch-penny methods of securing money. On the other hand he objected to the state ment, and put forth as proof of his position Its work that is being done for the workifig classes thru the de partment of church and labor. But one thing was admitted by the pastor, and that was that there is a strong tend ency to favor the well dressed man at ing a quotation from one of the let tng a quotatoon from one of the let ters was given, as follows: "The churches will not be meeting the ne cessity of their existence until their resources are -taxed to the limit." The church was filled Sunday even ing. showing the interest that was manifested in a discussion of the sub ject. The Maccabee Male quartet sang. SUNDAY MEETINGS LARGE. Baptist Revival Servites Attended by Good-Sized Audiences. The revival meetings being held at the First Baptist church received a great impetus yesterday. Every seat was occupied during the morning serv ice, and in the evening an especially large crowd Was present. New voices have been added to the chorus and the singing was most inspiring. One hun dred and twelve persons thus far have signed cards expressing-the determin ation to lead the Christian lifp. In every discourse Rev. Mr. Hoag in sists that the Christian, religion has a lawful place in the liv^s of men, and for men to give it this place is but just and fair. The message of the preachel* is "get" rather than "give up:" that those who follow Christ must give up many things is plainly stated (Continued on Page Eight.)

"It is not fair," said Mr. Noonan Saturday night, "to compare the pay we are now giving machinists on the M. St. L. at the Cedar Lake shops, with the schedule wo a-sk shall be adopted here. I see by the papers thai tho men claim we should not pay un der what the M. St. Li. Is paying.

"Another thing, the M. St. L. is not in this territory. I mean by territory anywhere near this part of the country, like the Northwestern, the Rock Island, and other roads.

"I am offering our men here the same wages now that they received in tho most prosperous times this country has ever had—the schedule of 190G. They were satisfied then.

New Providence Lecture Course. Special to Times-Republican. Eldora. April 27.—New Providence proposes to more than keep pace with their past record, during the coming year, so far as a high grade lecture course goes. During the piist several years New Providence has had a lec ture course that would do justice to the best cities in Iowa. For the coming year thirty-five of her best citizens have banded themselves "together as the New Providence Lecture Association, each of the Uilrty-flve agreeing to share the protits or losses equally. A meeting has been held and five of their number appointed to take charge of the securing nnd managing of talent. They are E. P. Morris, R. R. Clam pi tt. J. R. Howard, Z. H. Doan and A. F\ Styles. The new lecture course will no doubt be a great success from every point of view. Lame Shoulder.

Chicago, April 27.—Cattle were lOftr 15 cents lower, chiefly because of unex pectedly heavy receipts, the result of the advance in prices last week. Trad ing was dull, owing to delay in yard ing arrivals. Buyers say that the general outlet for beei' has not improved any and that it was only the light supply that caused the upward movement of the market the past week. Heavy carcasses are extremely hard to sell and there is not as much demand for light cuts as there .should be. The protest of the public against the recent rise in meat values is still on, and there are no in dications that it-will abate soon. Cat tle buyers are operating very cautious ly and are paying a premium for the light weight steers and heifers, be cause it is easier to handle that class of meat than any other. There has not been as much discrimination shown recently against the heavy cattle as was displaayed for several previous weeks, tho it was plain that the light steers were preferred. Shippers to eastern points declare that they cannot lind a free outlet for the beef in the east, and exporters are cutting down on their shipments. As long as the runs are light, there will not be much chance to depress the market any further, but a heavy supply would upset the trade. Hogs. About the same conditions were ap plicable to the swine market as to cat tle, prices being 10 cents lower than Saturday's average. The general sit uation was discouraging, all classes of purchasers displaying great indiffer ence. Last week's supply totals about 100, 000 head, against 112,000 the previous week, and 136,000 a year ago. At all the western markets receipts have fall en off surprisingly. The total for the week at the six principal western points was 260.000 hogs, against 296. 000 the previous week, and 349,000 a year ago. Naturally, on account of this shrinkage in supplies, one would expect a better market, but conditions are wrong. Packers say they are unable: to get rid of the fresh product. There is not a normal demand for the fresh pork and big stacks of it are accumu lating on packers' hands and they are beginning to realize that they will have to a a meat prices down before they can free ly move the product. Shesp. Sheep were 10 cents lower. Receipts were too liberal for buyers to display any anxiety for purchase. Trade was very slow. Liberal receipts of Texas sheep at the western markets is said to be the principal reason for the depression in this end of the market. Packers say they are able to use only a limited number of heavy sheep. Conditions in the east are appar ently getting better. Buffalo shows re duced supplies and other eastern points are getting fewer sheep than usual. Besides this, the demand for mutton is improving some on the seaboard and prices have been advanced some. On that account the shipping demand has revived to some extent and conse quently lamb prices were held up to a| steady level. Chicago Livestock. Chicago, April 27.

Continued from Page Sevon.) but the Important tiling about the Christian life is not what it calls upon men to surrender, but what it enables them to do and to be. The sermon last evening was on "Christ in the Heart. Christianity consists in being directed by Christ." declared the evangelist. "The Christian is expected and required to have a share in all good work looking toward the betterment of mankind, but Chris tianity itself is the personal power of, cities God in the heart of the believer." Aft er raising the question as to the pos sibility of Christ reigning in the life of a man. the preacher cited several in cidents in the careers of some of the great men of earth, and insisted that nothing but "Christ in the heart" would explain their heroism, sacrifice and devotion. The audience was greatly moved by the earnestness of the speaker, and several responded to the invitation to "enthrone Christ in the heart." There will be a special meeting to night.
