Combined Address to General Conference Urges No Back ward Step to Be Taken GREAT GROWTH IN CHURCH 'Past Four Years Shows Largest In ('the 1 -J 8§ r: crease in Members in Sixteen Years —Bishops Go on Record in Favor of Uniform Divorce Laws in All 8tatea Membership Over 3,300,000. Baltimore, May 7.—The feature of to day's sitting of the quadrennial general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church was the presentation of the Episcopal address prepared Wy tne bishops. The address of the bishops notes a gain In the number of communicants during the past four years of 278,357, :the greatest gain during any similar period for sixteen years. The total gain in church property for the four years last .past Is $32,678,000, while the total valuation of churches and parsonages is $186,924,000. The mem bershlp in the whole world is 3,307,- *75- PS 1 •3r* As to amusements arid ibook of dis- clpllne, the address saiys: "We recommend not that paragraph 248 be stricken out, but that it be amended by striking out the confessed ly partial list of worldly amusements found therein, leaving as the ground for church trial, in case such trial becomes necessary, that portion of the paragraph which reads: 'Taking such {amusements as are obviously of mis leading or questionable moral tend ency, or disobedience to the order and ^discipline of the church,' and especially our original rule 'to taking such di versions as cannot be used in the name of the Lord Jesus,'' Grave injustice will be done if this recommendation is interpreted as" an abandonment of -our early opposition to worldly amuse ments. Indeed it is a return to the ^principles-and to the exact words fur nished by John Wesley." 'As to divorce the address says': "Consecutive polygamy permitted by divorce laws of some of our .states la a disgrace to our country. We great ly rejoice that the conscience" of the nation is being quickened on this sub ject and that the demand for uniform divdrce laws increases." ii A Great Demonstration Reading of the address by the ven erable Bishop Goodsell was frequently interrupted by applause. When he had read the scathing denunciation of the liquor traffic contained therein, he called upon the delegates to "rise here and now, and with-the bishops pledge ternal enmity to this foe of man and God." The entire assemblage sprang to its feet, uttering cheer after cheer. One of the delgates started to sing "America" and the great throng caught up the hymn and the hall resounded with its strains. As the last refrain ceased some one began the hymn, "Glory, Glory, Halleujah, Our God is Marching On." This new outlet for en thusiasm, which seemed to grow, was seized upon and to the tune of "John Brown's Body" the verse was repeated several times. Vigorous handclapping greeted the announcement of the positions of the ^bishops on the subject of amusements. ii?^Reports of various boards and special commissions appointed by the last gen eral conference were made thru the general conference handbook, copies of which were distributed to the delegates at the opening of today's sssion. Church Extension and Home Missions. The. following reports of the board of church extension and the board of home missions was submitted to the general conference: "An unusual mortality prevailed among the members of the board dur ing -the quadrennium. Six bishops have passed from labor to reward. Eight laymen and four ministers were called from the church militant to the church triumphant. "We think that the present general conference should order that the Sun day school collections during the com ing quadrennium should be evenly di vided between the board of home mis sions and church extension and the board of foreign missions. The com I mission ordered that the property should be divided equally, that bequests and legacies be divided equally, and why should the Sunday school collections have been divided unequally during the six months Just closing May 6, 1908?" The report refers to an effort which has been made on recommendation of the general committee to consolidate the principal publications of the two iboards, and quotes a resolution adopt ed by a joint meeting of representa tives of the two boards at Philadel phia last March. It was the sense of •those who took part in thig meeting that the consolidation of these publi cations at the present time is unde sirable and impracticable. Continuing the report says: "Our Methodist city problems no one has yet comprehensively grasped. We have been forced out as pioneers, not only in the method of our litera ture, but In its matter. What we have printed represents conditions almost as new to literature as if from another world. Gladly would we have availed ourselves of any publications, but none covering our field were in print. "We expect our book publications to MB- tei be at least self-supporting, and we are glad to state that while we have largely Increased the amount and va riety of our literary output and have reduced the expenses at the rate of $1,000 per month, we are now conduct ing the same at a saving of $20,000 over last year's budget. Our ideal is a publication department reaching a mil lion Methodist homes at no cost to the church. We are certainly traveling in that direction. "The recent financial flurry has brought to the office a large number of applications for loans. Some com paratively large applications for loans were received, when we were borrow ing money from the bank to enable our treasurer to send drafts to the presid ing elders that the preachers on new and needy fields might receive their regular quarterly appropriations. "We very much need a great increase In the loan fund. There are places where the rates of interest are ex orbitant. If we had an increase of even a quarter of a million in our loan fund it would be a great blessing to many struggling churches. "A total of $118,660 has been col lected thus far for the relief of the churches in California which suffered from the earthquake and fire on April 18. 1906. Tt was originally planned to raise $250,000 and the board has placed on record a statement declaring that the efforts to secure a sufficient amount of money to rehabilitate our cause on the Pacific coast must not cease.". FLEET FESTIVITIES Military and Naval Parade and Gov ernors' Banquet Are Chief Features at 'Frisco—Evans to Retire From Service in Few Days. San Francisco, May 7.—Two of the chief events in connection wfrljh the fleet festivities today will be the great military and naval parade, and the governors' banquet in the evening. To day's parade will mark the last public appearance of Admiral Evans in his active career as a naval officer. In a few days he will retire from serv ice. Fifteen thousand soldiers and sail irs will be in line, including 2.500 men in the regular army, under General Funston. Secretary of the Navy MetcaEf, Gov ernor Gillette, of California, and .staff, Mayor Taylor, of San Francisco, Rear Admiral Evans and staff, rode in car riages, and hundreds of thousands of people lined the route of the parade. When the people caught sight of Evans cheering and waving of flags and hand kerchiefs began, and did not cease un til he was out of sight. The second division consisted e3j,tirely of marines and sailors from the fleets, and the blue jackets were enthusiastically greeted all along th» line. A model of the cruiser California, sent by the oit izens of Vallejo, attracted much atten tion. It was a hundred feet long and complete in every da tail of equipment OFF FOR OYSTER BAY JUNE 20. President Sets Date for His Depart ure From Washington. Washington, May 7.—It was an nounced at the White House that President Roosevelt would remain in Washington until after the close of the republican national convention at Chi cago. Inasmuch as the president believes the convention will conclude its ses sions by June 20, he has settled upon that date for his departure for Oyster Bay. As far as it Is definitely known at present the president will spend the summer quietly. He has been invited to .participate in various affairs about •the country, but has declined all invi tations. His latest "regrets" were ex tended to the committee of Chicago business men which called upon him and invited him to attend the second conference of the 'Chicago and St Louis deep waterways convention to be held in Chicago on October 7, 8 and 9.

La Porte, Ind., May 7.—Bessie Con-K lin, a young woman residing in Michi gan City, lnd., whose former home was in La Porte, has been arrested by Sher iff Smutzer and Is being held as an im portant witness in the Guinness farm tragedy. The woman was a friend of Ray Lamphere, who is accused of com plicity in the murders at the Guinness home. She is not aocused of com plicity, but her testimony Is considered as of great importance. She will re main locked up untU the grand jury hears her testimony next week. It is said that Lamphere, while talking to Miss Conklin, made threats against Mrs.-Guinness and said he had Infor mation which, if disclosed, would hang Mrs. Guinness. Because of a heavy rain, digging for more bodies on the Guinness farm was abandoned today. Work will be re sumed tomorrow. The shed on the Guinness farm con taining the bodies of the victims was broken into during the night and the bodies were seriously disturbed. Last Night's Developments. 'Laporte, Ind., May 7.—The grisly story of the private graveyard at the farm of Mrs, Bella Gunness, a mile north of Laporte, Is still in its early chapters. Last night the estimates of the number of persons murdered at the place thru the lure of a matrimonial ibureau run all the way from twelve to fifty. The exhumation yesterday of four dismembered bodies wrapped in burlap brings the total of victims known to •have been murdered, to nine. Includ' ing the bodies supposed to be those of Mrs. Gunness and her three child ren, discovered after the fire which burned the farm house on April 2S, the total of deaths to be Investigated and accounted for is thirteen. There is scant doubt that Sheriff Smutzer today will discover evidences of murder in two more suspected graves as yet unopened. All suspicious •parts of the premises are to be dug up, with especial attention to the "soft" spots beneath rubbish heaps, which so far invariably have been found to conceal bodies. Three Bodies in Latest Grave. A huge crowd of morbid persons at tended the opening of the two graves from which four bodies were taken yesterday. The last grave opened contained three dismembered skele tons, with strips of gunny cloth cling ing to the jumbled pile of bones. One skull was missing and owing to the length of time the bodies had been buried, it was impossible for Coroner •Mack and his physicians to determine the age and sex of the skeletons with any degree of certainty. The other grave which was opened was found to be an abandoned vault. From it was taken the dismembered skeleton of what ds believed to have been a blond woman on account of the length of the hair. A more full examination by physi cians and dentists may result in find ings which will lead to identifications. Bringing Places Near Together. The remarkable feature of the search for bodies at the farm ds the small area of ground in which they were buried. The Gunness farm abuts upon Fislitrap lake, a marshy body of water, and Is near Clear Lake, which is deeper. The house was built on a knoll and faced east. Fifty feet to the south of the ruins is a small yard used for chickens and about fifty by twenty-five feet in area. The yard stands a little to the east of the barn and was handy as a place In which to throw refuse from the stable. It Is fenced with woven wire of close mesh and by the neighbors was con sidered a chicken yard. In the northwest corner an irregular hole dug in the earth marks the grave from which the body of the man be lieved to have been Andrew Helgelein was taken. About five feet to' the south of this hole is the unused vault from which the skeleton thought to be that of the blond woman was taken. Boy Discovers One Grave. On the south side of the yard, just under the fence, and on the brink of a declivity which slopes sharply to Fish trap lake, is the hole from which the three skeletons were taken yesterday afternoon. The place has been masked by a tangled wire placed on top of it, the free ends of the wires being twisted in almost inextricable fashion in the strands of the fence. Attention was called to it by a boy who kicked up a human rib which caught in the fence. The other bodies were taken from graves which, like the ones mentioned, had been made close to the fence at the east side of the inclosure. There are two noticeably soft spots which have not been dug into as yet. These will be examined today. A little red carriage shed a few feet to the west of the lot, and near a windmill, is being used as a charnel I house. From It proceeds a stench that MARSHAIiLTOWtf, IOWA. THURSDAY, MAY 7 1908 daunts even the most callous curios ity seceker. wisaj Budsberg's Body Identified. saw The latest approach to identification of the bodies is in the case of the skel eton dug up on Monday, which was re ported to have had black lnur and a black mustache. A careful examina tion caused the physicians to declare later that the mustache was red or sandy. It is now believed this is the skeleton of Olc B. Budsbeig, of lold. Wis. Relatives of Uudsberg are on the way to Laporte with a photograph. In the hope of identifying the body. Budsberg came here on March 23, 1907, supposedly thru the agency of a marriage bureau. On April 6, 1907, he appeared at the Laporte Savings bank in company with Mrs. Gunness and cashed a check for $1,000, received as the proceeds of a mortgage sold at the Farmers' State bank of Iola. This was the last seen of him. CHARITIES MEETING National Conference Meets at Rich mond, Va. Tuberculosis and Oth er Questions Discussed by Experts. Richmond, Va., May 7.—'Delegates to the national conference of charities and corrections today met in five sections, which will make their reports respect ively to the general meeting tonight. At the meeting of the public health section the principal address was made •by Charles B. Granby, who discussed the "Consumotive Negro." Mr. Frank J. Bruno of Colorado Springs, Colo., urged the establishment of a national sanatorium for the treat ment of consumptives as the most eco nomic way of relieving certain bad conditions among sufferers from the, white plague. He argued that the Rocky Mountain region was the preferable situation for such an institution. The people of Colorado especially feel the need for more adequate provision for the treatment of poor consumptives, as that region has for years been a Mecca for the tuberculous. Many consump tives go to Colorado without sufficient financial support. They hope to find light work there while tihey are recov ering their health, but are 'disap pointed. The local charities of the Rocky Mountain communties are seri ously overtaxed so that thousands of "lungers" find their quest for health of no avail. Mr. Bruno would have a national sanatorium supported by private funds, rather t'han by public foundation, and would have the institution co-or dinajted in matters of finance and In mates with the charity organization so cieties of the country. In the children's section interesting addresses were made by Julian ,W Mack of Chicago, and Mr. Montgomery, of Indiana. -s FOUR DIE IN FIRE Awful Tenement House Disaster in New York City Famous Hotel Crowning Headland at Entrance to New London Harbor, Conn., Burns —$600,000 New Orleans Loss—Fire Bugs Arrested. 1 New York, May 7.—Four persons were killed and twelve were injured early today, in a fire believed to be of Incendiary origin, and which practi cally destroyed a five-story tenement house in Orchard street.

Attorney General Makes Rilling Pertaining to Township Candidates BALLOTS MUST BE UNIFORM Auditors Notified That Publication of Fac Similes Is Not Contemplated Under Law Des Moines County Poor Farm Under Investigation by Board of Control—Iowa Politics. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moinps, May 7.—Names of township officers placed upon the pri mary election ballot by affidavit must be printed in the published notices ol' the election by the county auditors. This is the ruling of the attorney gen eral. Mr. Byers is preparing a furth er opinion on the primary election law. During the early part of the campaign he prepared an opinion cov ering the points of the primary that concerned the early campaign and the conduct of the campaign. He is now preparing for Secretary of State W. C. Hayward an opinion covering the oth er detail matters of the report that concern the county auditors and other officials in the publication of the elec tion notices and lists of candidates, the preparation of the ballots, and such points. He has, however, let it be known that the opinion will hold that town ship officers' names must be published with the rest of the ticket In the news paper notices. Because of the fact that the law does not require these candidates to file petitions, it was thought by some county auditors that their names would not have to be pub lished. Mr. Byers will also hold that the pri mary election ballots must be of uni form size. The primary election law sipecifically says as much. It was thought by some county auditors that because the minority parties do not have as many candidates in the field, their ballots could be smaller than the republican. The attorney general holds that there must be blank lines on which names can be written in for the different offices. This and the specific requirement of the law itself will make it necessary to have the bal 'ots of uniform size. The executive council, acting on the advice of the attorney general, has no tified the county auditors that It Is not necessary to publish fac similes of the primary ballots In the newspapers, but only lists of the candidates on the four tickets. The secretary of the council has mailed to the auditors a letter suggesting the form of the primary election notice and giving the lists of the candidates of all the four parties, republican, democrat, prohibition, and socialist, in the order named. In this way they will not take up nearly so much space. This action of the executive council is considered furthermore as dispos ing of the situation at Council Bluffs, where it is reported the county audi tor has taken the position that the prohibitionists and socialists can not get their county ticket printed for the primary because of not having the proper percentage of votes in that county, tho having the proper per centage in the state at large. It Is un derstood that the attorney general takes the position that the percentage of the vote in the state governs the privilege of having a county ticket in the field, and the council has taken that position in directing the county auditors to print the county names The state board of control today took up the examination of the testi mony in the case of the Des Moines county insane hospital at Burlington. It will be some days before the board ready to give an opinion in the case. Complaint was made to the board of the treatment of the insane patients there, and the investigation followed. Since the creation of the board of con trol, when the state provided that the board must investigate every institu tion in the state where insane are kept at least twice a year, and provided that on a hearing of evidence the board can close up all institutions that are not properly conducted, the board has closed seven county asylums. It is possible that the board may close the Des Moines county asylum. Until the board was given control in such matters and ibegan instruct ing the boards of supervisors the plan followed in many counties of the state was to treat the insane patients much in the same way that prisoners are treated, but worse. In some of the institutions the board found the in sane patients alive with ver.min. Many unfortunate persons who .had lived in comfortable circumstances in life were found in these county asylums living in filth and in conditions under which they never could recover their mental equilibrium. For the most part this condition lias been entirely changed, hut occasionally a board of supervisors moved by considerations of economy, will not properly provide for an asy lum and will not engage large enough force of attendants or attendants of proper character and the result is cruelty to the inmates and a lax con dition aibotit the asylum generally W. E. Odrll. of this city, will go into northeastern Towa to make a number of speeches for Cummins. He will speak there next week. Mr. Odcll has frequently been mentioned for rail road commissioner. He is not a pub lic officer, has never been a public officer, and says he never expects to be a public officer, and has nothing to gain or lose in the tight personally. He goes into the campaign and pays hla own expenses for the good of the cause. Judge S. F. Prouty is preparing an answer to Senator Dolliver. He has some very interesting data which will be given the public in an address as soon as the material is all in hand. Senator Thomas A. Cheshire of this city, who was a member of the United States senatorial amendment conven tion which mot in Des Moines two years ago, speaks in Ottumwa tonight for Governor Cummins. Senator Cheshire was in the Iowa legislature as senator from Polk county years ago, when the first fights were made against the railroad lobby and domin ation of state politics by the corpora tions. Auditor Carroll will speak in Grand Junction Friday night in the interests of his campaign. The situation has become so desper ate in Cass county that the standpat ters there have disregarded the wishes of Adams and have arranged dates for Lafe Young, Major Lacey, Congress man Birdsall and Torbett. Lafe Young will speak at Anita op May 11: Major Lacey will speak ar Griswold on May 13. and Birdsall ar^ Torbett will speak in Atlantic on 18. It is understood that these spee iff have been arranged by the forces 3 engaged Richards to send out matter to the country newsp Adams of Dubuque, the manaf^p ,r Allison, has refused to allow ar» ~h standpatters as Lafe Young and'Ht-jor Lacey to get Into the campaign. Fear ing the results and resenting the ac tion of Adams in not allowing any standpatter to take part in the cam paign the standpatters have arranged these dates. It is understood that Senator Jona' than P. Dolliver will return to Iowa City News: the latter part of the month to speak. Medbury to again for Alison and It is further un derstood that he will say nothing more about the Torbett letter because of the embarrassment to himself over having promised support to Governor Cum mins. While he was in the state last week Senator Dolliver made no attempt to deny but that he had given an un qualified promise to Governor Cummins to support him for senator In 1908. It is quite true that he later wrote a let ter refusing to be bound by his prom ise. 1%, 2. 'i The date of the next state phar macy examination will be June 4 in stead of June 3. as first given out. An other examination to be held at Iowa City will be held June 15. That of June 4 will be at the state house In Des Moines. LOOKS LIKE DOLLIVER Junior Senator Likely to Be Selected Chairman of National Convention Becauae of His Straddling Qualifica tions. (Special Washington Correspondence) Washington, May 7.—Senator Dol liver is now the one best bet for the temporary chairmanship of the re publican national convention. The choice seems to have pretty definitely narrowed down to him and Senator Beveridge. The latter is objectionable to many of the old time leaders of the party, who fear him as too aggressive a person for the serious business of sounding the note of a convention. Beveridge is for various progressive policies, such as child labor legislation, tariff commission, control of capitali zation of great corporations, etc., to which the veterans in leadership do not want the party to commit itself at this time. They prefer Dolliver be cause he is much more conservative and moderate, and also ibecause of their confidence that as presiding of ficer he will tone his speech in line with the advice of his colleague, Sen ator Allison, who is relied upon to keep him from making any embarrass ing assurances about the intentions of the party. PREMIER PRESENTS BUDGET. Schemes to Provide Pensions From National Treasury, Ruled Out. London, May 7.—Premier Aisqulth presented a budget to the house of commons today.

l&l .J Senator Cheshire Discusses Sena torial Question in Speech in Oskaloosa I' NO HALO. FOR SENIOR SENATOR ~%hesfiire Reviews Reebrd of Allison In House and Senate and Declares Him An Ordinary Man The Credit Mo bilier and the Bland-Allison Act Time for Sentiment Past. 5 V... •'•v..*1. 11 k. 8peclal to Times-Republican. Oskaloosa, May 7.—Declaring that there Is no ,"holy halo nor golden nim bus" about'the head of Senator Will iam B. Allison, and that "he is merely a man and a very ordinary man at that," Senator Thomas A. Cheshire, of iDes Moines, in a .puiblic address here *iast night analyzed and criticized Sen *tor Allison's public career and went tto the bottom of his connection wjth ths Credit Mobilier, the Sioux City- Pacific railroad, the' Bland-Allison act (criticized and condemned by every president) and the expenditures ap proved by the appropriations commit tee of which Allison' Is chairman. Inopening hie address Senator .Cheshire, -who represented Polk coun ty In the Iowa senate from 1894 to "1902, declared that the ideal campaign yon the senatorship for Iowa would have been for the two candidates to speak •together in each of the congressional 'districts. He Said he made this over ture to the friends of Senator Allison but that they declined, saying that his age and Infirmities would not permit 'It, but' that they now claim that he is fitt better health than LiaFollette and .younger members of the senate. Iii beginning his discussion of Sen ator Allison's record, he said: "I shall 'not claim that Senator Allison IS a 'jbad man, or that Ills legislative career haii been wholly a failure. Neither do I. tbelieve that there is any halo or nimbus about bis head. He is merely a man and a very ordinary man at •that, possessing the weaknesses and infirmities of iman. tte should be praised wherever praise is deserved lie should be fairly criticized Wherevfer ills, public acts deserve to be cen sured. His fitness for future service should considered fairly ant! justly. Hta candidacy for the sfenatorahlp ln Vltes..examination of his public career and lt ls our privilege to' pass our opin ions upon his public aits, provided they aru /honestly formed and are fairly and reasonably expressed." gL- Allison's Record in Congress. Senator Cheshire then invited at tention to Allison's record in congress Jn' which jie claimed that Allison had, ^ione nothing in his eight years in the ttoarie wOtifchy of feraise. He .polntedj ,©ut that Allison served in the house -from 1(63 to 1873 when there were try •ing times for the republic and gave ^/'hlm the beet opportunity In the world '"J*j distinguish himself, had he possessed ly very high order of ability." He then called attention to the fact !Vthat Allison did, one tiling during his jfcouSe career "to bring hfrm unenviable ^notoriety," when his name became con s'- iiected with the Credit Mobilier. Inas much as this is history of many years ago Senator Cheshire went to pome '••length to explain it and in doing so ^gave the definition: of Credit Mobilier taken from the messages and papers -of the presidents In volume 10 on page 328. Briefly expressed this definition ]is that it was a joint stock company organized to build the Union Pacific railroad, .the value of its stock $nd 'size of Its dividends depending on the liberality of congress in making the 'contracts for the construction of the toad. An Investigation followed an Exposure of the fact that members of [congress were given blocks of stock (Stock as Well as blocks of stocks of 'the., tinlon Pacific. This investigation (came a.t a time when Allison was not a member of the house and just before (he took his eeat in the senate. Mem bers of congress shown to have the Tgtook were censured by congress. Alli son wiis shown by his own testimony 'to have some of .the stock, .but not be f'lng a member of congress then could iiot be ceneured. 7 Got Credit Mobilier Stock.' FVotn the testimony given before 'the congressional investigation com mittee, Senator Cheshire took excerpts 'to show that the stock. distributed 'Ityr Oaites Ames, a member of the house- from Massachusetts, "where it will do "most'good to us" that the stock was distributed at a time when 'there were dividends due .upon it enough to pay for the stock and a balance besides that Allison was glv teri shares of Credit Mobilier and ten shares of Union Pacific, which, ac cording to his own testimony, he held /'for five years that he was paid $600 "'in dividends on the stock at one time 'that Senator Allison testified that he «ent back the stock and dividends /and that Oakes Ames testified that he did not send back the dividends that Senator AlliBon testified, that he did not' Consider it Improper for him to .own the stock, altho the dividends of 'the companies and profits of the com panies depended on the action of con gress that later he telegraphed claim ing to have derived no profit from the Credit Mobilier, and indicating that he considered It improper to do so. 'the Credit Mobiller's profits on the 'construction of the Union Pacific was •i^ishowD to be $43,929,328.34, according .S 'to the statement of the trustees of the l^comp&ny, the United States paying !?%J|94,660,287.28 and the Credit Mobilier Misdoing the work at a cost of $50,720,- SG8.94. The Bland-Allison Act. Talcing up Senator Allison's record :'*Jn the senate, Senator Cheshire said fel^that Allison began his senate career ^during the second administration of Grant, and has served for nearly tliir ty-sJx years, during which time there .have been many public questions to ?«i)giro:!S the attention of congress and some measures have been passed, but •ha rinJJs the name of Allison connect ed With none except the Bland-Alll- Son act. which was condemned In the •massages to congress of every presi dent (till it was repealed and was ve toed by Hayes, during whose term it was passed. This Bland-Allison act he described as originating in the house, where Bland of Missouri Introduced the bill for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and this was amended in the senate by an amend ment offered 'by Senator Allison pro viding for the purchase and coinage of not Jess than $2,000,000 of silver a month. Referring to Allison's connection with the appropriations committee as the chairman of the committee Senator Cheshire said: "I understand that William H. Taft, in a public speech, has said that $450,000,000 have been paid out by the pubMc treasury with out benefit, on appropriations included In these bills" (the river and harbor bills.) He refers (further to the fact that a few years ago Senator Carter of Montana won the thanks of the country for continuing a speech in op position to the bills till congress ad journed-, without passing them "and thereby the needless appropriation of millions of dollars which had been rec ommended by Senator Allison as the Chairman of the committee on appro priations of the senate was defeated. So far as I can learn Senator Allison never made or signed a minority re port agalhst this wasteful, extravagant and useless appropriation of the pub lic funds. Senator AJMsbn has not stood in the "way and 'has not protested against these improvident appropria tions of the people's money. I do not claim that Senator Allison has not us ually voted .with his party on public questions, but his public career Is that of a follower, rather than that of a leader. He has merely drifted with the tide. Allison Only a Tradition. In closing his address Senator Ches hire said: "DolMver In his speech at Des Moines after fulsome eulogy of Al lison said: 'Therefore, I say, let this great union of Allison and Iowa re main. pass his declining years under that great .dome which no act of his has ever tarnished or dimmed Its lustre.' When Dolllver -uttered this last eloquent sentence, did he know of Allison's re lations to the Credit MobiHer? If so, does Dolliver say to the republican voters of Iowa,) that becoming a stock holder in 'the Credit Mobilier did not tarnfs-h':the golden dome or dim ltd Let Iowa's, greatest statesman 1 lustre? If this did not disfigure the shininsr lustre of the dome, then I sub mit' that rio act of a congressman, however,' reprehensible, would tarnish or dim its lustre. "The time has arrived when the state of Iowa would no longer be represented in the senate of the United States by a tradition or a reminiscence. .No more tradition or a reminiscence. No mere sentiment for the infirmities of age should cause us to retain In the sen ate, a man whose age and infirmities disqualify him from performing the arduous duties of a .United States sen ator, when the1 people can select a man fully and splendidly equipped to do better service for the people of the state than Allison has ever been able to do at any time of life.** MOUND TO REMAIN OPENS Historical Department Will Maintain Guard at Boona Another Month. Editor Times-Republican: Boone, May 7.—T. Van Hynlrtg, of •the state historical department, re turned to BbOne today to complete the explorations of the prehistoric .mound west of the city.

Sioux City Woman's Garter Breaks and $5,531 Soils on the Floor WEALTH IS RETURNED TO HER Mishap Occurred in Store and Propri etor Finds Purse—$5,000 in Cash and Balanoe in Certificates of Deposits— Woman Carried Fortune on Shopping Trip. Special to Times-Republican. Sioux City, May 7.—For a woman's garter to snap, causing wealth to the extent of $5,531 to drop on the floor of a grocery store isn't an incident that occurs every day In the week. Fur thermore there are not many Sioux City women who are carrying around cash and certificates of deposit of that amount in their hosiery. This occurred in the store of the Hattenbach Grocery Co. on Fourth street, when a woman called to make several purchases. While the customer was looking over an assortment of fresh vegeta bles, M. B. Levy, a member of the firm, noticed a roll of greenbacks near a basket of potatoes. He counted the money and there was exactly $1, 000 in 10, 20 and 50-dollar bills. Another man, who had just stepped inside the store, noticed a purse on the floor. He picked it up and handed it to Mr. Levy saying: "Here, somebody must have lost his pocketbook. Mr. Levy opened the purse and found a certificate of deposit for $531, giving the name of the de positor. It was the woman, who was still eying the fruit and vegetables near the display window. The woman, whose name is re quested to be kept secret, was asked if she had lost the wealth. She shyly stepped behind the counter and took occasion to examine her hosiery, when she found that the garter, on which de pended the safety of the roll, had giv en away under its burden and another roll of $4,000 was lying under her skirts. She said that she had drawn the money from the bank in order to pay for a farm she had just purchased. IOWA STUDENTS FAVORED. State University Grants Numerous Scholarships and Fellowships.

Ask your Uraidi Chkb^tsr^l Diamond Br., I'llls These are the results of indigestion The undigested food grows hard, and Irritates the stomach lining. It causes inflammation—per haps ulceration. That is the source of the pain. And that is why occasional Indigestion often leads to chronic dyspepsia. Undigested food ferments and forms gas. 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 the body is robbed of its nourishment. In these ways scores of serious troubles are due solely to indigestion. The remedy Is to relieve 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 most have food. And you must stop the irritation. Kodol digests all food. Immediately and completely. The result is relief and rest. You wilt be astonished to see how quickly the stomach recovers then. Kodol is not like anything else. Most digesters depend almost solely on pepsin, and pepsin digests only albumen. Starch requires something else fat something else. A perfect digester must digest every food. by the Meeker laundry without entrust ing It with the laundering of your lin ens. If you do, you will turn your back on an opportunity to secure first class laundry service at a popular price. We await an opportunity to demonstrate this fact in a most con clusive manner.

It left a broad trail of light behind, lighting the eastern heavens with its glow. The light of the meteor and its trail was reddish blue. Just, above the treetops on the eastern horizon, and slightly north of due east, the meteor burst into a million fragments and suffused a bright light over the entire sky be fore it went out forever. The falling meteor, even from a distance of many million miles, seemed to be a .ball of fire at least a foot In diameter. ELDORA BANQUET PLANS.

Legal Battle Involving Clear Lake Was, Begun in 1903. Mason City, May 7.—The famous Clear Lake level case has been called district court. The history of the case of H. A. Merrill et al. vs. the board of supervisors et al., began in 1103, when the waters of Clear Lake were unusually high. One of the odd things about the case is the fact that both parties mentioned as principals in U:e original case are now out of the battle. When the lake was so high in 1903 certain lands claimed by certain property owners along the lake were inundated. These property owners asked that the lake be lowered by breaking the dam and letting the water out of the lake. Thi board of super visors made preparations to do thiis but were restrained by mandamus pro ceedings. The case has been on file since that time, but has never come to trial.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick building, New York, N. Y. TREWIN'S CRUEL ADMISSION. Mr. Trewin, standpatter, railroad at torney and organizer of the Allison conference at which it was resolved than none but Allison men should be allowed to obtain office in the Fifth congressional district, has thrown out a sop to the farmers of the corn belt meat producers' association. He has declared In favor of permitting the president to negotiate trade agreements without the ratification of the senate "when it can be done without Injury to the industries, trade, or wages of la bor In this country." This is an adroit concession. Some time ago there was held a great na tional convention of farmers and manufacturers and they sent a petition to congress to vitalize section 4 of the Dlngley bill. That section authorized the president to negotiate many trade agreements, using 20 per cent of .cer tain schedules as trading stock and these schedules had been placed 20 per cent higher than necessary for protec tion so as to be traded down. President McKinley had the treaties negotiated and sent to the senate for approval where they were promptly put to sleep by the attorneys for the special Inter ests without one word of protest from Senator Allison. Dolliver did peep once, but that was when he was a Cummins man. Since then, as Judge Prouty says, he has been docile enough to eat salt out of the hand of those whom he ought to oppose. The reason the farmers wanted section 4 vitalized by giving the president carte blanche authority wtus to unload the reactionary senate and cut loose its strings on these treaties. Trewln now says he would favor this 'where It can be done without injury to anybody now enjoying 20 per cent tnore protection than was Intended to give him even under the Dingley law, and yet Trewln Is the original Allison man! He has Allison In mind when he says, "In view of the failure of ratifi cation of commercial treaties under the present law and delays Incident there to." His opponent, Mr. Good, Is the kin'd of a man who would not only favor this cutting away from a reac tionary congress, but a vitalization of the congress itself, by jthe Introduction of men who would stand by the pub lic Interest 'as loyally as any president. It Is the powerful, shrewd and cunning men like Mr. Trewin himself who have put congress In such a reactionary condition that there was "failure of ratification" and "delays Incident there to" of President McKInley's trade treaties. SPREADING IT AROUND. The town of Hampton has voted to pave some of Its business streets at the expense of the abutting property own er. The town of Grlnnell admits that its business streets ought to have been paved years ago, but has had more charity for the abutting property own er. The city of Marshalltown has paved and paved and paved again and her lawyers are getting ready to retire to their fancy stock farms because of her lack of charity for the abutting proper ty owner. There is no more reason why the ou r.ers of business property should pay all the cost of paving a dozen blocks that the farmers' vehicles and doctors' automobiles may be kept out of the mud, than there is that the property within 100 feet of a Are station should pay the cost of maintaining a fire de partment. Such property Is benefitted in value by reason of paving, to be sure, and should contribute according to this benefit and the present law provides that it must not be assessed In excess of Its benefit but this kind of a statute throws It Into court and the expense of litigation to ascertain what assessments have exceeded the benefits. Such a law is of value mostly to the lawyers. What the people of Hampton and of Grlnnell and of Marshalltown need Is a law which says that one-half the cost of street paving shall be taxed to the abutting property providing It does not exceed the special benefit to the prop erty and the other half shall be paid out of the general taxes raised. Such a lafv would tax the cost of paving upon the public which uses it, giving the public credit in the way of a 50 per cent rebate for the special benefit to the property abutting. With only half thf bill to pay. lawyers would seldom get property owners into court, where the profession can pluck the mu nicipality clean and dry. Such a paving law, too, should go farther. Having divided the cost even ly between the property benefited and the public which intends to use the paving, the statute should distribute the burden of cost evenly over those tax payers living and UBing the pave ment today, and those who will be liv ing to use the pavement ten years hence. A bond issue should be au- thorlzed for such a period of time as to approximate the llfq of the paving and a requirement set forth compell ing the municipality to retire the bonds, •principal and interest, equitably each year, and to make tax levies that will pay the bills. If paving is to last fifteen years the men who rkle over it in each of tlie fifteen years would pay as tlioy got the service niul $200 worth of paving in front of a man's lot would thus cost him $6.66 per annum .plus 4 per cent Interest for fifteen years for his half, and it would cost the city a like sum for its half. Instead of twelve blocks of paving In a town, thero would be six miles of it and no one strained un der the tax burden. There is room for improvement in our paving laws. Mar shalltown knows from experience. BOTH HEROIC AND STUPID. That was a pathetic story of deser tion, hunger, heroism and stupidity which was disclosed at Des Moines by officers of a humane society in the res cue of a ten-year-old boy from the in competent tho heroic foster care of a divinity student in Drake University. None .but a divinity student could be so impractical as to attempt to do for the child with nothing and none but a man inspired by a fire of Christian sacrifice could have caused him to share with the ohlld In the face of starvation. A man of more worldy wisdom would have appealed to the proper authorities for care for the child and would have followed them in the course of their duty to see that it was well done or he would, have gone like a man to other men of abundant means and by the plain statement of a busi ness proposition—child abandoned, hungry, dig—he would have secured the shelter and food which was needed. Being a divinity student, however, the spirit of self sacrifice appealed to him first and he went voluntarily to share a shack with the waif when he ought to be hustling for the kid among peo ple who had the means to provide. Then came the humane society. Will someone please explain why It is al ways the humane society and not the church of God, which comes along to play tho Good Samaritan? But it was the humane society and its agents took the child, thinly clad and hungry, into a home where comfort and food wll! be provided, and in time a good home with foster parents will be found for this boy. He will go to cheer the lone ly life of some couple to whom nature has denied the longing of their hearts. Deserted and forgotten by an unnatural father, he will grow up to honor some foster father and repay by an upright citizenship the society which picked him up from the rocks and gave him shelter. A humane society or a chlldrens" home society thus performs the real works of the Christian religion in a practical way, .while the great church societies of Des Moines probably adopted the ways of the divinity stu dent. They must have prayed for the child while the humane society was bringing him bread. Thus have we our two kinds of Christianity, both with the same purposes, the one philosophi cal, and the other extremely worldly and practical actually applied. Topics of the Times If that Swede Johnson gains much more in the race, he, too, will have to endorse negro disfranchisement in the southern states. Whenever you have doubts about a legislative candidate make him declare whether he will abide by the primary vote in the state at large and make him approve or disapprove the reform legislation of the past few sessions. Auditor Carroll, candidate for gover nor, complains about extravagance and Lieutenant Governor Garst seeking the same nomination, wants to know of Carroll whether the $60,000 for a new hospital at the soldiers' home or the $250,000 for monuments on southern battlefields are the items of extrava gance to which he refers. The Cedar Rapids Republican an nounces that Senator Dolliver expects to make at least a dozen more speeches in Iowa this month, hence the practical admission that .Cummins will carry the primaries. Those who argue that the primary Is no place for a poor man, should re member that Cummins is as poor as the average poor man and Taft doesn't have a dollar of accumulated prop erty, yet he chose the voluntary pri mary In Ohio. Because Professor Stuckey, dean of Coe College at Cedar Rapids, and most of the professors are supporting Good for congress, the Trewin crowd are threatening to prevent the college from raising any funds in Cedar Rapids in the future. Mr. Blythe's newspaper at Burling ton present Carroll as the ideal busi ness governor, yet if inquiry were to •b" made at the home of Carroll and Garst, the business argument would easily favor the latter. What paper do you read? Put your advertisement in that paper. Other people read it, too.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES .Voting that "Dolliver stayed nearly all the next day in Mason City after his speech," the Mason City Times Herald adds: "If he found any grow ing sentiment, he found more than any of the local standpatters can find." "Old age is venerable, and entitled to respect and honor," says the Iowa Falls Sentinel "but to make pretense that an old man is young is not hon oring him." The Boone Xews-Republlean believes that "protection to be effective, just and fair, must be put back to its orig inal purpose—a bonus to the Ameri can manufacturer for paying higher wages than his European competitor." "Doubtless others of the federal del egation will participate in the cam paign at a later date," remarks the Waterloo Courier. "The Cummins followers have no occasion to fear them. They can add nothing new. The resources of abuse have been ex hausted." "An elaborate plant is not needed to transmute the baser metals into gold." observes the Waterloo Reporter. "Just a gilded brush in the hands of an ex pert and a common clay brick has suf ficed in innumerable Instances." "It will cost a considerable sum to take the American fleet thru the Suez canal on Its tour of the world, but we can make this up some time in the future when other nations want to use the Panama canal," consolingly reflects the Clinton Herald. "The Iowa republican who thinks that harmony will come after June 2, whether its Allison or Cummins, Is the champion optimist," declares the dem ocratic Burlington Gazette. "Every day there is less disposition on the part of the average voter to fol low the wishes of active politicians," says the Webster City Freeman Tribune. "Buttonholing the elector is not as effective as it used to be." Outside Point of View It has never been the writer's good fortune to listen to a sermon on church attendance that appealed to the non church goer on strictly selfish grounds. To put it another way, the writer has never heard a sermon in which the preacher made the strong point that any one attending church services regularly, whether said attendant en ters a Jewish synagog a Roman Catholic cathedral, or a Salvation Army barracks is a gainer, i. e., ac cumulates something In favor of self. In other words, the person who at tends any church service always gains something, the one that stays at home or uses the hours devoted to church services always loses something. This idea came strongly to this scribe no ticing on a recent Sunday several hundred people coming out of the church doors at the close of the morn ing services. Put It down as a fact they had all gained something. First,' it can be assumed without controversy that the best people of a community do attend church regularly. Not all of the best people do so, but the best class of citizens in any place do go to church. Surely the worst ele ment are not found inside of the church walls. So that when one goes to church, he is brought in contact with the best people. Well, that's an argument in favor of self. We all gain something by personal contact with good people. This Is as true as the reverse that we invariably lose by contact or association with the worst element of the community. Again, not only we.

So far no reference has been made to what we hear from any and every pul pit. What do we listen to? Omit all reference to religion and religious subjects, never mind what the preach er says about his particular creed, Jew or Gentile, Roman Catholic or Prot estant, the man in the pulpit preaches the necessity of a bettter life than you or I are living. If you don't agree with him on infant baptism, you do on the ten commandments. "They're all right." Eternal damnation may be an exploded doctrine to ou, but the Golden Rule appeals to your sense of right and money. You may have some doubts about "the vicarious sacrifice" but you and the preacher get together on the doctrines of the wages of sin is death and one reaps what is sown. All In all, let the preacher have his pet and particular theories, ask him silently to allow you the same privilege, but you won't differ much when it comes to talk of morals, temperance and all of the virtues that go to make up the society of the civilized world today. You and the preacher are not so far apart as both of you imagine. When quite a young man the writer attended a Shaker meeting. It was a good place to go. If they toad servioes in Marshalltown this scribe would at tend frequently. These Shakers get together and remain perfectly quiet till the spirit moves some one to talk. Sometimes the spirit fails to move any one and tfie service closes without a word being uttered. And right here, many of us could regularly attend such a service and gain much. We don't stop and think of ourselves, our famJ lies, our neighbors, our town, our state or our country. If we did ami such thought was put into action, there Tho Merger Bill. "Railways demand always, It is the fundamental idea of their existence that they must have a sum that will •pay the cost of operation, the cost of maintenance, and dividends and inter est upon their stocks and bonds. With the exception of one or two states, and now fortunately Iowa is one of the number, there is not a state In the -union that fixes the limit or restricts tho Issuance of capitalization. Our system of railways, 220,000 .miles in the aggregate, is capitalized at $16, 000,000,000. If the railways are worth $16,000,000,000 you and I ought willing ly to pay a compensation for the serv ices that would return to them inter est upon $16,000,000,000. "Vast and magnificent as our rail way system Is, it neither costs nor Is it worth more than $9,000,000,000. "And six or seven billions of this capitalization is pufe, unadulterated water. I do not mean that, I mean Impure and adulterated water. "Now I am not here for the pur pose of destroying the basis of our markets. It is too true that a mistake once made may never be undone. Much of this capitalization has passed into innocent hands, and we ought to bear the burden of our indifference to the public weal forever. If need be, rather than Invade by one hair's ibreadth tho safeguard of the constitution and the protection of the law. But I mention for the .purpose of indicating to you how important It is to have a tribun al that can fix a railway rate. Take one or two Instances in our own state. "When Mr. Hill bought the Chicago Burlington Quincy railway, or when the Northern Pacific and Great Nor thern bought bhi-s property, it doubled the securities without adding a spike to the property, as I said before, or a single dollar to Its treasury. Its stock was then above par, altho It did not represent an actual payment into the treasury of the company. They dooibled the capitalization and reduced the In terest. Why didn't they reduce the in terest upon the original capitalization? You will be expected some time to make that capitalization just as valu able as the former was. "The Chicago, Rock Island Pa cific Railway company, after it had completed its great consolidation had $75,000,000, common stock. This only happened five years ago. I never was so humiliated as a citizen of the com monwealth in my life as I was -when I found Uiat under the laws of this state I must stand 'by and see the crime against honest business perpetrated by these reckless promoters $75,000,000 of common capital stock originally ex isted, the country had grown, the bus iness had multiplied until the stock was at the time to which I refer worth 75 cents on the dollar. And then two eminent men, one a lawyer of genius, the other a manager without con science, sat down and without the payment ot a dollar except to the of ficers .in the states In which -fictitious and sham corporations were organized without the payment of a penny for the increase, they converted the $75, 000,000 of common stock into $402, 500,000 of stocks and bonds. And now they expect their business to support and pay interest and dividends upon a large part of this capitalization. "I ihave heard it rumored that there was danger that the Chicago, Rock Is land Pacific railroad would pass in to the hands of a receiver and df it does,which God forbid, there will be people who will say that Roosevelt did it or that Cummins did it. It will be a good while before that road will be able to earn dividends and interest up on all these millions, but there will come a time when it will be, and then instead of decreasing transportation oharges as they ought to be decreased, the capital stock will again be doubled or trebled or quadrupled. "But I venture that It will not take place in the state of Iowa, for the leg islature of last winter passed a law which forever makes it -impossible for any company of men to so transgress the fundamental laws of Iowa and all new capital stock that is issued must be paid for at par, and if paid for in property the value of the property must be fixed by an independent tribunal, the executive council of the state of Iowa. It is because of this ceaseless over-capitalization that it became nec essary, as it was apparent to every thinking man that we should have some tribunal that can fix ra/ilway rates, and one charged with the duty of fixing them not upon the basis of the actual value of the property of the would be a different state of affairs, just where we centered our thoughts.

WHY RAILROADS HATE HIM. (l-'rom Cummins' Campaign Address.) railway compajiy. This is the advance that we have made In the passage of this law. "The great problem of the future, and this is but a part of It, concerns the distribution of wealth. I suppose I am speaking to many men whose em ployment -Is with railway companies. 1 ask you whether, when railway com panies prosper, and they ought always to prosper, when their net earnings grow, as they will grow, whether it is better for you and for your family to live under an administration that will prevent these companies from absorb ing their earnings in the Issuance of baseless stock or whether It Is better to preserve those earnings upon exist ing capitalization, leaving you a fair chance at least in your struggle for a higher compensation and 'better condi tions, and to secure your share of the fruits of honest labor. The governor reviewed the history of the fight by the railroads against him. dated from his veto of the Molsberry bill In 1902. The New Jersey North ern Securities company was under question—the railroads planned to make Iowa the home of the "shame less corporations which were intended simply to multiply stock and Indebted ness." So the proposal by the Mols berry bill to reipeal the Iowa law fix ing the limit of corporate debt. The speaker said: "I said to somebody that I could not favor that measure. And then began the most vigorous attack upon mo 1 think that was ever .made upon an executive of a state. My office swarmed with representatives, not only of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy Railway company, but nearly every other rail way company in the state. They came to argue, they remained to cajole, they stayed longer to threaten. I vetoed that bill, and from that time until now ev ery railway company in the state of Iowa, I make no exception whatever, every railway manager In the state of Iowa has been engaged in doing what your esteemed townsman thinks I should do for myself. They have used all the power they possess to eliminate me from public life. But I am still alive. And 4t is one of the queer things I never could understand, that in this territory, thru wMch this railroad runs, nearly every newspaper has been opposed to me." The governor alluded to the charge that had been made that -he was not a sound republican and was an unsafe leader, disturbing the public mind and drawing the people Into dangerous paths. This he thought an Issue which it was appropriate to discuss. If the charge were true he ought not to be Invested with the senatorsh-lp, there fore he coukl discuss It. Railroad Taxes Up. "When I became governor the rail roads were assessed at $47,00.000 tax able value, and $188,000,000 actual val ue. "Now they are assessed at $63,336, 000 taxable value. "That Is 34.5 per cent Increase. "In 1901 they paid $1,500,000 taxes to the counties of the state. In 1907 they paid $2,200,000. That is $702,000 in crease. "I -have nothing to do, nor has the executive council anything to do with the assessment of farm property. We equalize as between counties, but we do not fix the value of farm property or personal property within a county. But nevertheless, when I became governor the average actual value of the farm property in this -state for taxable pur poses was $35.88 an acre. It Is now $41.42 an acre, an Increase of 15.4 per cent as compared with the increase of 34.r, per cent upon the railway proper- ,\.v. Iowa Newspapers THE KIND WANTED. (Shenandoah World.) I can pick out a number of young men in this community right now, who if they were thrown out of em ployment this evening would be able to accept a position before tomorrow night at a salary ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 a year. I believe that one of them would have a salary of $10,000 a year offered him within a few days. They have not so much more brains than the other fellow, -but are men of. fair, average natural ability. Why, th£n, are they In such demand?

Some of the money the Cummins administrations have "wasted" has been put into Iowa land. The state lias acquired considerable real estate holdings In recent years, and John Cownle says he would toe willing to take the land off the state's hands at 50 per cent Increase over the purchase price. If worst comes to worst, it may be best to accept Cownie's offer. Still, as there Is about a million dollars in the state treasury It may not be neces sary to sell the land Immediately. WHO IS TO BLAME? (Waterloo Courier.) Tho Marshalltown Times-Republi can hits the nail on the head when it says in substance that presidential appeals -for legislative action will be futile "so long as the people of an Illinois district continue a man like Cannon in congress and so -long as the people of other districts send men there who will continue the power of a speaker -in t'he hands of Cannon." Summing the matter all up, who is really to blame because the president has been unable to force this stubborn congress to pass the various bills that he deems of vital Importance to the country? Is It not the people? They eleoted every congressman to his seat. The lower house was by the fathers of the government especially Intend ed to be a thoroughly representative body. If the people ore In favor of the president's measures and congress Is not. there Is something wrong. The difficulty lies in the fact that the people -have passively permitted politicians to perpetuate themselves in office by the judicious distribution of federal pie. There are a lot of old mossbacks In the national legislature who have fallen way behind the times by devoting their attention so assid uously to their political machines. It Is high time something was done to change the situation. The present members of the lower house have but short lease -of power. It becomes the duty of every voter to see to it that their successors are a different c!!ass of men. A pretty pass have things come to 41' the fate of the nation depends upon he action of the Danville, Illinois, district. Don't curse Joe Cannon for all the evils. He ought to be patriot enough to yield to universal public demand. But so long as he Isn't, the thing to do Is to vote :'or a congressman who Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect it Prevalence of Kidney DltMM.

How much do you need From our experience we would Bay that there would be about 23,000 bundles In all, and it would take 63,250 feet of Twine to bind It. How many pounds of Twine will it take to give 63,250 feet It depends on the Twine. If it runs an average of 605 feet to the pound it will require about 125 lbs.: if it runs 450 feet Jt will require 140 lbs. and if it runs only 400 feet it will require 158 lbs. If the same price per pound was asked for all the different kinds of Twine, you would see at once that it te far cheaper to .buy 125 lbs. to. get the name number of feet, than it Is to buy 340 lbs. or 158 lbs, but the smart dealer, in order to make you think his Twine 1b cheapest, will ask you a half cent per 'pound less for the short kind.

The latest Instance was that of a healthy young girl In Bromley, Kent England, who after sitting for a couple of hours in a room In which there were several of these flowers, "began to feel somewhat faint. Two hours later, after she had gone home, she fell into a deep sleep. Her doctor stated that the defective heart action, leading to the.

"Heavily scented flowers," said a physician, referring to this case, "should never be keipt in any living room which is not well ventilated.

If the heart is weak or 'nervous,' arid the perfume Is sufficiently concentrated, the heart beat may be so impaired as to cause a prolonged fainting fit."

St rat, toil, Special Organizer For Macliinists' Union EMERGENCY FUND IS LARGE Northwest Consolidated Railt-oaa Dis trict, With Membership of 16,000, Will Contribute 25 Cents Each Per Month to Relief of Strikers—Would Give 160 Men $25 Each if Necessary. A general conference of all the striking Iowa Central labor organisa tions was held at the Trades and La bor assembly hall, Wednesday after noon, but no action of the conference was given out to the public. It has been decided, however, according to Mr. J. J. Stratton, of Chicago, special organizer of the International Asso ciation of Machinists, that tho nation al organizations interested will finance the local strike indefinitely. Mr. Stratton says that the North west Consolidated .Railroad district, which includes every railroad north of the Union Pacific and west of Chica go, has a membership of 16,000 men, who, in a specias emergency fund, will contribute 25 cents each month to the strikers here. This would yield a fund of $4,000 monthly, whtch, divided among 160 men, would give each strik er $25 per month, if it became neces sary to divert the entire fund here. This fund, Mr. Stratton says, is inde pendent or the regular strike benefit fund, paid weekly. Mr. Stratton is not pessimistic, how ever, in his view of the local situa tion, and thinks that there will be no necessity for a long-drawn-out strike. He thinks some sort of an amicable settlement will be reached in due time. WOMEN'S CLUB CLOSES SEASON. Annual Reports Show That Organiza tion Has Had Successful Year.

Her talk was in terspersed with clever witticisms and contained some helpful suggestions, looking to further improvement In the future. Speaking of the departments Mrs. Darling expressed the fear that too much Is undertaken by Individuals, and that It perhaps would be wiser to return to the old Tule that one should belong to but one department at a time. She also spoke of the need of more active members in the club, and not co many associate. In closing Mrs. Darling thanked all for their assist ance, and bespoke the same loyalty to her successor, Mrs. F. S.

Taft, •secretary of war, will be called upon by representatives of the Musicians' union of .Spokane, to decide the ques tion whether the regimental band, now at Fort Wright, three .miles west of tiere, is to be permitted to compete for business in this city. It is given out that negotiations are under way with the management of Natatoriuni .park, owned by the Washington Water Pow er company, to engage the 'band of twenty-five pieces for a series of sum mer concerts, thus shutting out the local players. The union contends that the army bund should confine itself to playing at the post, where the Third regiment is stationed. This controv ersy raised the old Question of the competition c*f army bands against civilian organizations which has never ibeen settled to the satisfaction of either party. Representatives of the National Federation of Musicians have appeared before the war department in the interest of bands in various parts of Mie country.. In some instances orders have been issued recalling the army bands, while in others the con troversy continued until the .bandsmen were removed to another post. Ths Grinned News.

I Both Buyers and Sellers of Cattle Keep inshore and Sales Are Few LACK OF DEMAND FOR HOGS Prices 5 to 10c Under Yesterday's Level—Packers Fail to Bid Rain and 'Wind Storm Hampers Trade at the Yards—Sheep Hold Steady—Cur rent Quotations. Chicago, .May 7.—Cattle trade, both on the buying and selling side, had one object in view this morning. That was to keep within shelter as much as possible. During the opening hour there was practically nothing done, a lew meagre sales having been made. The market was on a steady basis. At the six principal markets re ceipts are a little lighter than last week and prices at all points have moved up a little, tho It will require moderate runs to hold the gain, say the traders, since there is no material growth in consumptive demand, neith er locally nor in the cast, and with the exporters operating cautiously trade does not need a very liberal supply. The tendency favoring the light weight beef animal these days is noth ing short of remarkable. All this spring light weight cattle have been strong ly preferred and handy yearling steers and heifers were especially favored. Not in several years has the discrim ination been so strong in favor of the little cattle that were fat and suitable for the butcher. Many sales of heifers have been recorded on this market within the past two months at $6.40@ 6.75. which is a condition without a recent precedent. '4ogs. Hogs were weaker on liberal receipts and there was lack of demand from packers at the opening. The general level of prices was -vtflOc lower than the average of the previous session. For some time the market in the hog department has been up and down alternately. Monday It was lower, Tuesday It was higher, and yesterday it was lower again. Today, however, a further drop has broken the every other-day shift in prices. Fluctuations have been mostly on the 10c basis, and after all the bobbing around values are about the same as a week ago. Demand is not quite strong enough to hold the market up and packers are ager to force a decline, as they evi dently consider values too high to suit them. That they want hogs is evident from the way they bought Monday, when the supply was heavy, but are doing their best to get them lower. The outlet for fresh pork is none too good and at the present prices the margin of profit is not as wide as it was some time ago. Packers' present purpose is obvious. They intend to keep prices down until the time for the usual May and June run arrives. After corn is in the coun try has always had a fashion of selling the accumulation of seeding time, and if we do not get it this year there will he no need for further argument. SHesp. There was fairly good tone early, tho prices were no better than steady. As in other markets, trading was hampered by the rain storm. The demand from the east is strong er, tho it was said that conditions in that part of the country so far as the outlet for mutton was concerned were no better. Considerable difficulty is ex perienced by packers In getting rid of the heavy cuts. S Chicago Livestock.

No One Wants Office of Street Com missioner at Eldora. Special to Times-Republican. Eldora, May 7.—Grant Tyler newly elected mayor of Eldora, seems to be having his hands full these days. Besides making an endeavor to clean up the town, which is no little task, he lias had a ard time to fill vacant of fices according to his liking. Soon af ter his election he appointed William Polley as street commissioner, who would not accept the office because of a possible decrease in the salary. Fol lowing Mr. Pulley's refusal to accept, R. B. Lynch finally consented to serve, but after taking charge of the work for a few days, handed in his resigna tion to the city council. The mayor being absent at the last session of the council, which was held last Monday night, a committee was appointed to look after the street work until the mayor returned home and hunts up another man to take the of fice.

Those who are in close touch with the conference ar rangements declare they have never known another movement which has been greeted with such quick and en thusiastic popular approval. An indication of public opinion is afforded by the great mass of corre spondence which is pouring into the White House on this subject. Organ the izations of all sorts express realiza tion of the greatness of the enterprise, and request that they be given repre sentation by delegates. Individuals in great numbers are sending requests that they be allowed to attend in their private capacity. These letters are be coming of such volume that the sten ographers at the White House are working overtime, and Secretary Loeb fears that he will ultimately be driven to the necessity of providing a circu lar letter, which can be mailed to all persons and organizations making ap plication. Information is constantly received, too, that tourists from all parts of the country are planning to be in Washington at the time of the conference, in the hope that they may attend at least a part of the proceed ings Because of the limited capacity of the east room, all such organiza tions and individuals are necessarily meeting with disappointment. None can be admitted except those provided for in the invitation list, and the press. of No Politics in It. That conservation of national re sources is nothing about which the political parties wish to raise an issue is indicated by tlie attitude of the dem ocratic leaders. Both illiam Jen nings Bryan and Governor John A. Johnson, leading candidates for the democratic presidential nomination, have written to President Roosevelt expressing their approval. Equally em phatic endorsement, it Is understood, has been voiced by Grover Cleveland. Mr. Bryan's letter to the president reads: "I greatly appreciate your kind invitation and shall take pleasure in attending the conference on the con servation of natural resources. I am, I beg to assure you, in hearty sympathy wnh ilie purpose of the conference, and I ha.ve no doubt that the discussion of I the subject will be very helpful to us all." Governor Johnson's letter reads: "To assure you that I heartily agree with your conclusion that the conservation of the natural resources of our coun try presents a. problem demanding the best thought of our times is super fluous. We have been exploiting our resources with no thought of the mor row, and the claims of posterity upon us should certainly be taken Into ac count." Fifty Organizations Represented. All -of the tifty national organiza tions which will be represented by delegates have expressed approval of the purpose of the conference, and nothing but approval Is voiced in the letters from the governors. And now chambers of commerce and boards of •trade thruout the country, are adopt ing resolutions commending tho pres ident's course and advocating a policy of prudent conservation. The lead in Ihis movement has been taken by the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce. The Pittsburg resolutions call upon the governor of Peniisvlvani-i and the members of the Pennsylvania con gressional delegation to attend the con ference. Many other commercial or ganizations, following this example, are urging the governors and con gressional delegations of their state to attend the conference and to lose no chance of boosting the conservative movement. The Pittsburg resolutions are notable for their vigorous exposition of the problem of natural resources. They refer to Pittsburg's own troubles with Hoods, and to its dependence upon the mineral resources of the country. The resolutions thus outline the issue, in part: "Scientists and practical experts, af ter long investigation and study of the natural resources of the United States are speaker's home district is composed off six counties and of t.he«e three went special to Times-Republican. steers, 3.25?i6.00 stockers and feed- "dry."
