The Antwerp express, running lifty miles an hour, crashed Into a train loaded with pilgrims, on a siding: Every car'of the pilgrim train, except ing the foremost one, was telesoojod. The cars were literally ground to pleccs, and practically all the passen gers were either killed or badly in jured. Almost fifty dead people al ready have been removed, and suocor is being extended to more than a hun dred., injured. 18 ®c,n# Beggars Description. .Surgeons, dootors and nurses ar rived early from Antwerp at the scene of the wreck. Shrieking, helpless, wounded persons are still pinned un der the debris, and the scene is one of horror that .beggars description. The station at Contlch has been converted into a temporary morgue, and -the hospital is rabidly filling up with dead and wounded. Everything possible Is being done to alleviate the suffering of the injured. All the clergy and 'physicians of Contlch and soldiers from the neighboring -barracks are taking part in the work. It now appears that the locomotive of the express .train jumped the track and plunged Onto and completely wrecked the last three 'passenger coaches of the train on the siding. This train was carrying an excur ejon of pilgrinpls to the local shrine. Thirty-eight Dead Removed, Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon thir ty-eight dead and seventy-nine wounded had been recovered. The occupants of the cars were mostly workmen and peasants. ONLY TWO CARS IN RACE. French and Italian Drivera Quit Naw York to Paria Contaat. Chicago, M&y 21.—A dispatch from Parts to the Chicago Tribune says: "The committee In charge of the New York to Paris auto race received from Milan today the official announcement from the Societa Motonl Zust of the withdrawal of their oar from the race «it Vladivostok. The Marquis de Dion a.lso has formally withdrawn his car, leaving the American Thomas 'car and the German Protos car to complete the journey from Vladivostok to Paris alone. The German car is forced by the regulation of the raoa committee to allow the Thomas car t/hirty days in the crossing of Asia and Europe on account of the acbion of the German crew In taking a train in America from Pocatello, Idaho, to Seattle, Wash., prior to sailing for Vladivos tok." $1,500,000 PEACE OFFERING. House Makes Big Appropriation for Tokio Exposition. New -York, May 21.—The United States will make a peace offering to the people of Japan of $1,500,000. At least the lower branch of congress has already done so and It Is generally ex pected the senate will follow suit. By •unanimous consent with both republl can^ and democrats showing the best of good will, the house of representa tives passed a bill appropriating $1, 500.000 for the Japanese international exposition of 1910. In view of the widespread talk of possible trouble between the United States and Japan, in view of the. half sensational gossip of an impending war between the two countries that came out In the recent debate on the naval bill, this action is regarded as signifi cant. Is a big appropriation for an Inter national exposition a better earnest of peace than a big appropriation for bat tleships? This question was raised and the lower branch of congress de cided, apparently, that the exposition peace offering was the better invest ment. It was distinctly stated by Mr. Rodenberg of Illinois, chairman of the committee on expositions, that as an big exhibit of the resources of the United States, the money would be well spent. •He declared that a big appropriation for t.he Japanese exposition would en able tihe United States to show how rich, how powerful a people we are. And if 'there Is any virtue in the argu ment advanced by President Roosevelt in favor of the demonstration of power made by our fleet in the Pacific ocean, that the oriental mind is impressed by what can be seen by tfhe eye, this earnest of the peaceful intentions of the United States would be the best •possible means of convincing the Jap anese masses that we are the people tthey do not want any trouble with. It goes without saying that the Japa nese are very happy over the generos itv of the house. Ambassador Takah ira said tftiat the liberal appropriation I f- IIABSHALIITOWJ?, IOWA. THURSDAY, MAY 21 1908 of congress, if Indorsed by the Senate, would be an indefinite pledge pf^eaoe between the two nations. Pwrtrident Roosevelt Is also well pleased vifiqh tihe action of the house. It.: Is well ioiown that his policy In dealing with foreign governments is to "speak softly, and carry a big stick." He favorsS not only the most energetic upbuilding of our naval strength, but a liberal pro vision for American display at the Japanese international exposition. FLOUR CONSIGNMENT HELD UP. Charge of Misbranding Made Against Ohio Milling Firm. Washington, May 21.—There is a milling firm at Oreville, O.. which la bels one of Its brands of flour "Para gon Minnesota Cream Roller Process."

The unsettled condition of several im portant measures which are now in conference between the two houses and a doubt that exists as tor the final disposition of the public buildings bill have combined to make impossible ad journment this week. 11 Standpats Meet Congressman With Demand to Come Out 7 For Allison PATHS CROSS FOR FIRST IJME Heretofore Cummins and Hull Have Not Been Actively Antagoniatic Governor's Open Support of Prouty May Force Hull to Align Himself With Allison. iV.i fepecial to Times-Republican. Des Moines, May 21.—Congressman Hull reached Des Moines this morn ing, and will remain till after the pri mary. He refused to state definitely when interviewed, but gave the Inti mation that he would enter the fight against Cummins, and would come out In support of Allison, because of Cum mins' stand for Prouty. He wanted time to talk: with his lieutenants be fore making a definite statement. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, May 21.—Congressman Hull is expected to come out In a day or two for Senator Allison. The con gressman from the Seventh district was slated to reach Des Moines some time today and it was allowed to leak out that a delegation of standpatters were prepared to meet him at 'the de pot and demand that he come out for (Aillison. This they claim is be cause of the fact that Cummins at his speech here Monday night made an unequivocable statement in favor of Prouty. Hull men generally are trying to imake it ajupe&r that Qovernor Cum mins will lose many votes because he is supporting Prouty for congress in opposition to Hull. The situation in the Seventh district up to two years ago has been such that Cummins, and Hull hawe never ^been candidates for political office at the same tinM». Both live in Des Moines and up to this year their paths have not crossed be cause two years ago there was no fight on Hull in ithe Seventh district. This year the candidacies go to the primaries, and both are candidates. For years Judge S. F. Prouty has been making speeches in favor of 'Governor 'Cummins. He has 'been the close political friend of Governor 'Cummins and 'has been on the stump for him. He opened the campaign in Iowa this year for Cummins for sen ator In a speech in Foster's opera Ihouse, in this city. In spite of 'tho fact that Cummins and Hull stand for radically different things In politics, and are in fact diametrically opposite on most propositions, yet a great many politicians have supported both Cum mins and Hull. Of course with such i,t has been largely a 'band wagon proposition. Being out for political appointments they have supported both in order to be In on both the federal and state pie-cutting. In his address at the Auditorium •Monday night Governor Cummins spoke from the same platform with Judge S. F. Prouty and he urgfd the voters to support Prouty. 'Now it is a question what the result will be. Alli son standpatters now claim that Hull •must come out In retaliation and sup port Allison and must do so in a pub lic utterance. As a matter of fact there are several leading politicians of the city who have been supporting both men who say they iwill still vote for both at the primaries and it is not believed that there will be any very great change. However, the Prouty support will of course work harder for Cummins and 'the 'Hull men will work harder for Allison. In Marion county Governor Cummins will gain votes by his stand for Prouty because the Prouty supporters there were resent ing it because the governor had never publicly declared his' preference for Prouty. Charlie Johnston who supported Per kins for governor two years ago and has ever been opposed to Governor Cummins, said today that both Cum mins and Hull would carry the Sev enth district. In conceding the Sev enth district to Cummins he said that Cummins' majority In the Seventh would be between "thirty-five hundred and four thousand." He was asked if he considered then that Hull was stronger in the Seventh district than Allison and admitted that It amounted to that. Cummins men and Fr.outy men alike say that if the Allison men of which Mr. Johnston is one. admit that Cum mins will carry the Seventh district by 3,500, then ProUty has as good as car ried the Seventh district for they are sure that the difference between the votes for the two men will not be so great that Prouty would fall more than 4.000 behind Cummins. At the last election two years ago in November there were a little over 19,000 votes cast in the Seventh district. Cummins men believe the governor will carry the district this year by more than 4,000 majority. The state board of control today ad vertised for bids for 90,000 tons of coal which will be the largest purchase of one commodity by the board. This is for next winter's supply of coal for all the fourteen state institutions and will cost the state nearly a quarter of a ipilHon of dollars. The board advertises for bids on all kinds of coal. It then selects that which will give the great est advantuge to the state. Some of the institutions burn slack and others can use nothing but lump coal. It has been the policy of the state In recent years to build large smoke stacks at the state institutions in order to be able to use the cheaper grades of coal. J" Des Moines will entertain the high schools of the state In the state high school athletic meet on Friday of this week. They will not likely hold the TO BREAK THE CORN' Railroads to Rush Cash Corn to~-Ohi cago in Effort to Break Patten'a Hold—Sensation on Board of Trade.

Wood, declared he believed that i|on» of the tetters Introduced by Miss Woo# in the evidence in her sulf were true copies of those written by his father. He had examined carefully the original copies of letters written by the sen a-, tor to Miss Wood, which were turned over to him by Abraham Hummel ,U^K on payment of $10,000. He said titers were no such communications amtrng them as the alleged copies produced In court. Piatt testified that none of tho ..TOtk,' ters received from Hummel' contained, any reference to the marrfa,ge between the senator and Miss Wood. After. reading the letters he personally de stroyed them by burning them in.th* grate in his office. Did Not Stay Ifeught On cross examination Piatt 'satd that many of the letters from his father-to Miss .Wood were brief notes of invita tion. He was willing to pay $10,000 for their return, he said, because hi* father was about to be married to Mr*. Janeyray. He and his father'thought It best. to get rid of Miss Wood. "What was your object In destroying some, of these letters?" "Well, ^plaintiff was writing'for th® letters and going, to the newspapers, and I did not think she had stayed bought. I destroyed all but a few of the letters. There was no suggestion of marriage or dlv.orce or disgrace in any of the letters I destroyed." Piatt Scores a Point. Frederick E. Hafely, president of the stationery Arm which sold the bla,mi form upon Which the alleged certificate of marriage was performed, in a depo I sltion read In court today, decliared I that the particular blank form was, not I placed on sale until February, 1902. three months after the marriage of Miss Wood to Piatt is alleged to have occurred.

YovrANQo CHICAGO Dolliver Was Difficult Patient to Inoculate With Railroad 4 In nineteen nine j.-'J Legislation Sentiment FORCED BY PUBLIC OPINION Junior Senator Learned From Allison and Followed Lines of Least Resist ance to Public 8entiment Both Surrendered to Railroads in Iowa Federal Appointments. ~C (Special Washington Correspondent.) Washington, May 21.—The question of when Senator Dolliver becamo a railroad reformer i3 Interesting.' In an earlier letter some reasons were suggested for the belief that the re form virus .hadn't produced even a var ioloid case at the date when the great railroad and anti-railroad light was witnessed in the Cedar Rapids con vention of 1897. As a matter of fact, Mr. Dolliver didn't catch the reform disease till a long time afterward. He had mean while become a senator, and the move ment for railroad legislation had de veloped a strength, especially In Iowa, which commanded attention, before Mr. Dolliver concerned himself about it. Your correspondent recalls dis tinctly meeting Mr. Dolliver In Des Moines at a state convention gather ing, at which once more the lines of rstllroad and anti-railroad tfere sharp ly drawn, and talking with him about the need of national legislation to en large the powers of the interstate commerce commission. Waiting to Be Pushed. Mr. Dolliver's reply was tnat he didn't believe there was any real de mand for such legislation. He didn't believe there was any real grievance, or any particular belief that a griev ance existed. He said he didn't get any letters from »folks-about it and this leader inr railroad reform left the impression that until public opinion got to pushing, he wouldn't under take to lead. When it got to pushing he did set about to lead! But. it was not till "long'after Iowa had been placed on record for such legislation. The real pioneer in Iowa was Gover nor Larrabee. It was he who repre sented Iowa on the executive commit tee of E. P. Bacon's Interstate com merce law convention, and I have learned from Mr. Bacon something that Qov«nor iiarrabee never adver- tised, !tkat. vthe..former governor was one' of the'main' reliances of that or ganization Wring its early years, for .cfiwh contributions to pay..postage and iiie 'biilfes: failed to Turn a Trick. Another reCbllectlon may help to de termine who watt', the leader In rall road legislation-' Senator Dolliver hap Now/ the^B was a 00^6^^' of the 'Iowa Manu facturers' association In 'Cedar Rapids in'ithe'ear-liy 1904. Ajt that time th^: Escri-Townsend leglswion was before congress. -Mr. Hepburn was then, as, now, chairman of the house committee oA interstate commerce, and.Mr. Dolllver was a member of the seriate comrniftee. Where did those gentlemen st^hd at that time? The Cedar Rapids convention was set up to turn a trick for the railroads. Judge French, of Davenport, was chairman of the committee have il (jREAT^Ci WESTERN v-'" ^2 Cents a Mile ftcKETS /NPORMAT/ON mm THE AGENT von reso­ lutions. It was a four-day convention, and on the evening of the third day the committee got to work and framed up a wonderful series of resolutions, Which, thru three or four long type written pages, in substance declared that there was no need of any legis lation, and- no grievance on the part of the public^ except that a legaliza tion of pooling ought to be added to the old law! It Was on the motion of your cor respondent, who was a member of that convention, that those resolutions were rejected, and a substitute, writ ten by your correspondent, adopted. The substitute, as well as the original French resolution, may be found in the Cedar Rapids newspapers of January 24 or 25, 1904. There was a rather animated discussion'before the French resolution was defeated and the sub stitute adopted.. Governor Larrabee took a part iii that performance, and favored the substitute resolution, which, crude as it may have been, placed the Iowa Manufacturers' asso ciation on record in favor of legisla tion along the line of what was after ward adopted. Disgusted, Washington Crowd. When the news of the action of that convention reached Washington in processes of telegraphic communica tion, it caused some' disgust in Iowa quarters. It administered a real Jar to Messrs. Dolliver and Hepburn, who, according to careful testimony I since gathered in Washington were at that time comfortably of opinion thai there 'was no need of doing any thing. They thought. nobody wanted such legislation except a few dema gogs like Cummins and Larrabee. During that meeting In Cedar Rap Ids. two things happiened which may help locate dates pertinent to this dis cussion of priority in the reform fiefld. I discussed with GovernorXarrabee,. at some length, the question of getting national legislation Without asking Governor Larrabee'^ -permission, I shall' no\v" take the liberty^ "say that Gov ernor Larrabee then" told me that he had given up all hope of/getting Dol iver to do anything for the cause ofj railroad regulation. He had tried, hadj talked arid corresponded'with-Mr. Dol-j liver, and had found the effort useless. Tn sorrow rather than in anger, he ad mitted that he-had reached the' convic lion that Mr. Dolliver had hopelessly surrendered to the "Allison Idea" of! •uiblic service that he would not be 'ound ready to align himself against j. he power of the railroads, which was! certain to be exerted to the utmost to ire vent such legislation. When Dolliver Flopped. So much for Mr. Dolliver's position as Governor Larrabee understood It at that time—and as everybody in Wash ington understood It at that time. How "about Governor Cummin?? Well, on the evening of the same day that the French resolution was defeated and the WellLver resolution adopted, Governor UuninUns addressed that same conven tion. He made a Vigorous speech voic ing the country's ^Jfifind, and especial ly Iowa's,demand,"for effective railroad regulation. The truth is that Mr. Dolliver flopped on the ruilroad question when ho was forced to the tardy conclusion that he must flop or lose more with the pub lic than he could gain by staying on tlie railroad side. Mr. Dolliver stayed with the railroads just as long as they could do more for him than anybody else could he dropped them and took the public's side at the moment when he had become convinced that it was good politics for Mr. Dolliver to do so. He did just what Mr. Dolliver always has done in such matters, and just what he learned to do In the school of Allison. The real story of Mr. Dolliver's rela tions to the so-called Hepburn bill would make line and illuminating read ing In Iowa at this juncture but it is too long, and too unimportant, to just ify the effort to write It in detail. Briefly the Hepburn bill was Originally drafted by the interstate commerce commission. Fixed up, on the basis of this original draft, by Judge Cowan of Texas anjl Mr. Dolliver. Introduced by Mr. Hepburn. AJ, Passed by the house. Reported by democratic votes from the senate committee, and turned over to Mr. Tillman to manage because the people who reported it wanted it In the hands of a mah who would handle it successfully. Extensively amended In the senate after a long debate In which Mr. Dolli ver took very little part because—I am now giving universal Washington opinion of the time—Mr. Dolliver was sulking 1n utter disgust at the refusal of the committee to place him, instead of Tillman, in charge of the bill, pgs When Dolliver Sulked. Mr. Dolliver made One of the first. If not the flrs't, speech for the bill. When the great constitutional ques tions Involving the very fundamentals of the legislation were reached, Mr. Dolliver was beyond his depth. Con stitutional law wasn't exactly Mr. Dol liver's forte. He mixed up with Bailey one day, and retired from the' fray In a sad condition of plumage and a worse state of temper. Senator For aker at another time took occasion to develop the paucity of Information pos sessed by the Iowa "pioneer reformer" about the real questions in issue. During most of the long period of that debate Mr. Dolliver spent little time in the senate chamber, and took almost nb part in the discussion. He did suc ceed, however, on one occasion, in mak ing a startling statement which Indi cated something of his attitude toward th® question. .That was when, In a moment oif exasperation because Senator Bailey raised a point which wasn't easy to answer, Mr, Dolliver served notice that the repub licans didn't need any democratic votes for the bill," anyhow they would pass it without. Coming at a time when there was every evidence that tlhe bill would not pass without democratic votes, the retort was singularly unfor tunate. In the. railroad •debate, as in the present campaign, Mr. Dolliver's temper failed to stand the strain of se vere pressure. At the very time when he Issued his dofl to the democrats, imore, experienced republicans .were working hard in the effort to effect a coalition of progressive republicans, to pass 'the bill. It was not until as surance was made doub'ly sure, of pass ing,the bill by such a combination, that the tory republicans gave up the ifight, came into camp, and supported .the ibill. Mr. Dolliver's policy of driving away the support of democrats would .have 'killed the legislation. A Federal Judgeship. So much for the Hepburn bill his tory. Now It may be worth while to recall the incident of the selection of a federal judge for the northern Iowa district, iwhen Judge Oliver P. Shlras •retired. Tom Healy, Mr. Dolliver's fellow townsman, was the leading can didate for the place. He had three votes in the caucus of seven which was to determine ito whom the place should go. The railroads had just one purpose In that contest: to defeat Healy. They didn't particularly care who got the Job any of the others was a good enough Judge for them. (Why did the railroads want to de feat (Healy? The first reason was that Healy had a legislative record of in dependence that they didn't llkev The second and more specific was that Healy In the state senate had made a speech in favor of a 'resolution direct ing the Iowa senators, and requesting the Iowa congressmen, to support an •anti-injunction bill. In the course of that speech Mr. Healy paid an elo quent tribute to iSenator George Fris ble (Hoar, father of anti-injunction leg islation, and pointed out the reasons mftiy such a measure ought to pass, What Mr. Healy said on that occasion was a political crime. It was the basis of the railroad Indictment of- .him as a •dangerous man. It was the real reason why he w&s defeated for the Judge ship. And yet Theodore Roosevelt Is today wrestling, with Joseph G. Cannon and the other tory leaders In congress, In the effort to force them to pass just such a measure! He 'has written his demand for it into every message he has senit to congress this session—and that Isn't a few. He has employed the same arguments that Healy used. The country is with him. But Tom Healy jvas ahead of his time. Public opin ion hadn't caught up to-. -Healy and Hoar. Could Have Won for Healy. To William Boyd Allison, of -course, was entrusted by his old friend Mar vin Hhi'ghitt, it-he duty of making sure that this young firebrand, this destroy er of property rights, Healy, should under no circumstances toe made a federal, Judge. Everybody remembers how Senator Allison, accomplished it. He always accomplishes such tasks when they are .put u© to him smooth ly, cleverly, suavely. Dolliver voted for Healy -he couldn't do anything less. But he didn't flight for Healy. He could have won for Healy if he had wanted to do so, with half the earnest ness that he now wants to get Senator Allison re-elected. I say this on the authority of members of the Iowa del egation whom I am not at liberty -to quote, ibut who will not take the .trou ble to deny the statement. •And speaking of Senator Allison's service for ithe state, the defeat of Healy for federal judge in the north ern district, and the selection, of Mc Pherson In the southern, should not be forgotten. It was-a splendid piece of -political management and strategy, that -by which Senator ^Allison secured the Indorsement of the man the rail-' 5to2-Hephlto^ lUMjaltas foura, ftlnj) 2 1908 roads wanted for federal judge in .the southern district it was another unag nlfloeht "piece of work which 'lie ac complished in defeat!n-s the man tho railroads didn't want, in the northern district.

We might as well talk about a cure for lame ankles. Nature must do the curing. And Nature will do it when given the chance. Tonics and stimulants may eeem to help for a time. But their effect comes only from spurring the stomach to action. And weakness cannot be cured with a spur. One must relieve the Btomach. Let Kodol do, for a little time, what the stomach fails to do. Help it as you help a lame ankle. Rest it, as you rest other organs that need to recuperate. And stop the irritation of hard, undigested food. You will be surprised to note how quickly the stomach can regain itc strength. All modern treatments for Indigestion aim at this relief. But they aim in different ways. Some advise dieting. That brings partial relief by omitting some elements which the Btomach can't digest. But the omitted foods are important. The body requires many food elements.

Special to Times-Republican. iF-ort Dodge, May 21.—Edward Burke, of Coalville, attempted to commit eulcide yesterday, by cutting his throat with a razor during a tit of •temporary Insanity, brought on by brooding over the fact that he must soon «undergo a second surgical oper ation. Altho his throat was severely lacerated, and the young man suf fered from the loss of blood, it Is be lieved that he will recover. About tivo years ago the young man underwent an operation at the local hospital, and having been in poor health for some time past, was in formed toy the doctor that anther operation would be necessary. For the ipast several weeks he has 'been in very ipoor health, and has remained in the ihouse the greater .part of the time. He retired as usual, and the fact that he had left the house was not known un til between 3 and 4 o'clock in the mor ning, w.hen a brother returned to the Ihouse after having been employed in the neighborhood 1 tiling. 'He immed­ iately gave the alarm, and with one or two of the neighbors started to search (for the young man. iHe was found ly ing on the ground in ithe timber, about a quarter of a mile froim the house, bleeding profusely from a bad cut in the throat The loss of blood restored the reas on of the young man, and toe Inquired as to what he was doing in the ttm toer when found toy one of the search ers. However, he remained silent re garding his reasons for attempting his life. He was carried to the house, and a physician was summoned. It Is expected Che young man will esca.pe any bad results from his attempted suicide. INEBRIATE KILLS HIMSELFJ James H. Wilson, of Adel, Fires Four Bullets to End Life. 8pecial to Times-Republican.

Wilson, of this place, immediately resumed his bad habits while in Des Mfftnes, en route home, and becoming despondent, shot himself.

Wilson com mitted suicide at the hirnie of his re cently married daughter, Mrs. Ed Chance. The- members of the family were out in the yard near the house about 4 o'clock, Wh^n they heard sev eral shots in succession from an up per room.

His appe tite for liquor brought him endless trouble and finally caused the separa tion of himself and his wife, who was divorced from him. He leaves four children besides his divorced wife.^

Clarinda, May 21.—Andrew Williams, [son 61 John Williams, had a thrilling I experience yesterday on the farm of John McNees, two miles west of here, and narrowly missed being drowned with his team of horses, which lost their lives in the Nodaway river. The young man was plowing In a field bordering the river, and had driv en close to the bank, tho not any near er than usual. The river bank under npath, however, had been undermined but this fact was not noticeable from above, and team, plow and man were precipitated into the water by a huge slide of the land into the river. The plow became entangled at the bottom of the river with roots, and held the horses fast, so that they were drowned. Young Williams was taken under the water and being unable to swim, would have been killed had he not succeeded in gaining hold of the plow, and from the top of it managed to regain tfie bank, which was still crumUlng. The horses and outfit were valued at $500. PARENT MAKES GRAVE CHARGE. Alleges That Davenport School Rule Caused Death of Daughter. Special to Times-Republican.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick building. New York, N. Y. SOME SPECIFIC EXTRAVAGANCE. Twelve tons of worthless matter printed at the expense of the state has been consigned to the junk heap by the executive council, and thus are re vealed methods of holding up the pub lic treasury other than Lafe Young's skiver charges. Useless copies of the code supplement to the number of 3, 443 have been sold for old paper, and the state still has on hand 1,500 copies, for which It has little use. The printing of the code supplement was authorised and a limited number of copies were necessary. The public printer who holds office by virtue of political influenoe needed the money, and his friends in the legislature ex erted themselves to see that his office was kept busy. The public printer charged about what he could, looked innocent and pocketed the proceeds. The men guilty of this piece of ex travagance are now lending aid to the charge of a depleted treasury. James H. Trevvin, then a member of the leg islature, was the author of the bill un der which the code supplement was printed, and was chairman of the commission which compiled it. Trewin •is now a candidate for congress from the Fifth district. Bernard Murphy, of Vinton, a close friend of Trewin, was public printer at. the time, and pre sumably received the profits,' along with Howard Tedford, then state bind* er. Mr. Murphy is a candidate for the nomination of lieutenant governor. The criticism of the Cummins admin istration for extravagance has never assumed /specific form and probably will not In view .of the circumstances. AN APPEAL TO THE BLIN0 80DDESS. When the Times-Republican some daya ago'criticlaed the conduct of Bank Examiner Folds in relation to the Al legheny National bank defalcation at Pittsburg, and appealed for the thor ough investigation as to the identity of the ''frienda" of Cashier William Montgomery alleged to have profited by the banker's stealings, the steal was only partially known. It seemed then highly injudicious for an officer of the national government in the po sition of Mr. Folds to give an inter view saying that he believed Montgom ery had not profited by his.loot, but that he had been "victimized" by friends to whom he gave the stolen 'unds. Folds had made the charge if embesalement of over $400,000 Against Montgomery. Now it appears that the bank was -iflad of about $2,000,000, its tills ar^ mpty, city funds of Pittsburg mu licipality entrusted to the bank are -one. the city treasurer of Pittsburg, cared thru the loss of a large amount if money belonging to the town treas ury, accuses Folds of "bad faith" in etting the bank go to the wall before the city could demand it money, and appeals are being made at Washington to the high national powers to "white wash" the matter or at least let the •»olitloal clique responsible for the lownfall of the bank esoape a "shake Sown," If Bank Examiner Folds made any irrangement with politicians whose consciences hurt them whereby the bank loss was to be made good and the muss hushed up, excepting in so far as was concerned Cashier Mont gomery, he went aside from his duty as an officer and stepped from the path of honesty as a'man. While it is no doubt true that Cashier Montgomery's guilt is greater than that of anybody's else so far as Js now known, as he was the pivot on which the pilfering plan revolved,, yet such politicians as con nived at the "use" of the bank's funds should certainly not be allowed to es cape the most rigorous punishment. Maybe Montgomery Is deserving of sympathy but there Is room for doubt. A man close to 50 and In the banking business for thirty years, he had had sufficient training to know better than to steal. And were not the numerous examples of wayward bank employes in his own town in recent years enough to deter him? Within half a dozen years as many Pittsburg banks had been robbed of sums ranging from $50,000 to $1,000,000, a string of bank steals probably nev^r equaled in any other city."^ And topping It all Is the~crasTi of the brokerage firm of James Carothers Co., who had large blocks of the bank's stock as collateral, a firm headed by an ex-presldent of the Pittsburg stock ex change whose reputation has for many years been high in eastern financial circles, apparently an innocent sufferer. If the innocent must suffer for the loss of the bank's funds by fraud, de ceit and the most abjeqt brand of moral cowardice, Is Bank Examiner Folds to be allowed to act, by omission or commission, as a shield for the rotten ness of western Pennsylvania poli ticians? Are public men, who are strongest in the limelight as examples to the (rowing young of this advancing nation, to be allowed to escape the Just penalty of their disgusting greed for wealth without work? Is it not better that they be made to pay at least a full share of the penalty for the plundering of the bank and the city's loss? Is a national bank, which holds prestige thru the very word which Indicates governmental backing, to be made the theater for the practice of thieving and boodllng by public Rrafters, and fos tered as such by President Theodore Roosovolt and his administration? Topics of the Times The Taft boom has reverberated so heavily as to drown the sound made •by the other aspirants. ft When Bishop Woodcock addressed the Episcopalian ministers' convention at Detroit, it is said that he was a bird. The sonate finance committee would restore "In God We Trust" on gold coins. The motto was taken off by or der of the president.

Jiim Trewiin served nine years in the legislature and when Blythe an nounced that he would "Pound Cum mins Into the earth," he and Judge Hubbard selected Jim Trewin as their candidate for governor. Trewin got all their votes in the Cedar Rapids con vention. Jim Davis, from Blythe's •home county, was made temporary chairman of the convention. When Judge Hubbard died Jim Davis was made state attorney for the Northwes tern a/nd Jim Trewin was made local attorney at Cedar Rapids for all of Judge Hubbard's railway clients. The question is, were Hubbard and Blythe fooled as to Trewin's record in 1901, «r Is somebody lying when they present .him as a Roosevelt reformer now? The progressive ticket will be Cum mins for senator, Garst for governor, Clarke for lieutenant-governor, Byers for attorney general, Hayward for sec retary of state, Hopkins for auditor, and Packard and Copeland for electors at large. Henry Wallace of Wallace's Fawner, explains tlie hatred of Cummins in Washington as follows: "The laws en acted by the last session of the Iowa legislature, nearly all of which were suggested and pushed by the governor, are so recent and the benefits so ob vious (that, it Is not necessary to re view .them.

We are in receipt of the book just published by the state entitled "Dedi cation of Monuments to Iowa Sol diers," for free distribution to libra ries, Grand Army posts, newspapers, assemblymen and state officers. Fur ther distribution will be made upon application to old soldiers who took part in the engagements at Vicks burg, Chattanooga and Shiloh, Includ ing those who were imprisoned In An dersonville prison. Applications should be sent to the secretary of state, and should have name and ad dress, with company and regiment in which he served, plainly written A, ALLISON A FOLLOWER (Register and Leader.) It makes all the difference in the world what we are engaged in set tling. If It is Senator Allison's part in the final scenes of rate legislation that is one thing. If it Is organizing the forces in Iowa politics that caused the rate agitation, that stirred the men at Washington to act, and that put the Iowa delegation squarely be hind the president, that is quite an other. In the first instance Senator Allison's name would be prominent. In the second it would be scarcely necessary to mention him, for not even his warmest supporter will pre tend that he has ever been a leader in agitating for reforms. What Mr. Wallace has made as clear as daylight is that Governor Cummins is entitled to the credit of setting tho Iowa prairies afire on this railroad question, and of creat ing a public sentiment here in Iowa that made itself felt in Washington, and iput such men as Senators Alli son and Dolliver and Colonel Hep burn actively behind the president. And the inference he draws, and that may be properly drawn, is that if the people would have the fight con tinued until the final victory Is won they must look to men like Gover nor Cummins, who have the zeal to do something on their own motion, and not men like Senator Allison, whose services have been mainly val uable In finishing up what others I have begun* The wheat reported still In farmers' hands March 1, 1908, was 148,721,000 bushels, which was 57,923,000 bushels less than they had March 1, 1907. It prices were determined according to the law of supply and demand, this would indicate that wheat should be about a third higher in price this spring than it was last. The quantity of corn reported In farmers' hands March of this year was 962,4L'9,000 bushels. This was 3S5.571.000 bushels less than what was on hand March 1, 1907. This In dicates that the price this spring ought to be more than a third greater than it was last spring. The oats reported in farmers' hands March 1, 1908, was 267,476,000 bush els. There was on hand at the same time last March, 384,461,000 bushels, or 116,985,000 bushels more than now. This again would indicate that the price of oats should be higher this spring than it was last. These figures at least show one thing that might be turned to good a a a a is if they were organized and could work together as other people do, they could undoubtedly so control their business I as to secure to themselves such prices as the acknowledged condition of their products warrants. And that Is worth the moBt earnest effort men can put forth. Wo are sure that we will win "the everlasting gratitude of the boys if we can point out to the parents that mak ing garden is not necessarily back breaking work, but that it may be made feasy and a pleasure Instead of drudgery. When a iboy on the farm we dreaded above most things having to work In the garden. It seemed to IUS that the soli of the garden was the most intractable soil on the farm. It had to ibe spaded instead of plowed, had to be weeded on 'the "hunkers" OP tho knees, had to be kept in constant cultivation with an old-fashioned hoe and. hence we would about as soon have taken a licking as to work among the clods of the garden instead of on the flrie soft earth of the fiolds. If some' agricultural writer had told us that there was a better way, wo would •have called him blessed, and gone out at once and got a list of subscribers for that paper If such a thing were possible lri those days. There is no need of stinting the space for the garden. Nearly all the stuff grown In the garden can be grown In long rows, the ground pre pared thoroughly with the ordinary farm tools .before plantjng, cultivated with the modern garden tools which can be had at small cost in every town. So what Is the sense of taking the boy from the farm work and have him pound away On the clods and work on his knees when It can be done so much more easily and satisfactorily? A few rods of land will grow garden truck enough for the family for neigh bors who do not subscribe for Wal lace's Farmer, and for the poor people, whom we have always with us and always will. We hope, therefore, that the boys will insist that part of some field near the 'house will be laid aside for a gar den that can be prepared with the ordinary tools on the farm and kept in splendid shape by the improved hand garden tools which can be had for a few dozen eggs or a few pounds of butter. .Nothing disgusts the boy more with farming than having to work in a garden -that 'has to be spaded and hoed and raked by hand and J* *i-A':'. v'*T'--"Ls U• %'.1 i"" i•£- A p* 'J :t •Crt 'Oh- mm mm mm* tmm* ijhe'' Strawpile Grains on Hand. SA'f (Up-to-Date Farming.) According to the report of the De partment of Agriculture there is not as much of the three leading grains on hand this spring as there was last. If it were not for the control of the markets by speculative Influences, this ought to mean better prices to those who held their crops. The first result, however, as we show In another arti cle in this l6sue, was to depress prices and involve the farmers in loss. But since the matter is made public our readers may well know all about it, so they may consider what the results ought to be, and what they would bo if farmers were truly co-operating to make their prices and control their marketing. 1 Gardening Made Easy. .1*' (Wallace's Farmer) 4 weeded on the knees. Knees won made for prayer, not for work in tli garden. l'ossibly in these later days it ma. be the habit of a good many fanner to lot their wives and daughters inak tin garden. We don't know, but 01.1 correspondence leads us to suspect this to bo a fact. We unhesitatingly advise them to protest and say: No field garden, no garden vegetables, no radishes, no cucumbers, no onions, no peas, no tomatoes, no "sass" of any kind except the kind that is sometimes necessary to bring the farmer to his senses, Handling Dry Sod Land. Denver Field and Farm says: "If wo do not get a big soaking rain or a heavy snow storm here on the plains within the next three or four weeks the dry farmers might as well give up the notion that they can do very much this year for the chances are all against itham. The burden will fail heaviest upon the settlers who have just come in for it is always question able practice to crop nawly broken sod In a dry year. Tho sod usually contains but little moisture and the process of breaking saves none of It. It Is a good iplan 'to plow sod land not less than three nor more than five inches dee.p, turning the sod down as fiat as possible and then pray to the Lord for a .gpod wetting so that it will not dry out too soon. 'Follow as closeJy with a disc harrow as practic able and then go on with some form of packer, either single or double roll. This will level the sod land above and firm the soli In the lower stratum of the furrow slice, restoring the capll-j larity where plowing has arrested It This firmed under-surface soil Is thus enabled to draw moisture from below and' give good, normal root develop ment. Follow mp the packer with a good smoothing harrow to produce a surface mulch to arrest capillarity and Check evaporation of soil moisture. Then follow with the ieeder. All small grain should be put in iwlth a press wheel drill with the rows run ning east and west If possible, follow ing with a good spike-toothed or smoothing harrow. It is almost neces sary that all tillage operations on sod shall be with the furrows rather than across them to avoid tearing up the sod and drying out the seed bed. Do not seed 'broadcast, and make each tillage operation thorough—plowing, discing, firming, harrowing and seed ing. When thg new crop is up cross hai?ow to prevent the formation of a crust and give the young crop a culti vation. Follow up each rain with a good harrowing as long as the char acter of the crop will permit." Bird Observations. Two young assistants of Dr. Forbes, of the United States Biological Sur vey, A. O. Gross and H. A. Ray, tramped 1,591 miles thru northern, central and southern Illinois in twen ty-four trips during the year beginning August 28, 1907, identifying every bird upon a strip of land 150 feet wide, ifchus taking the first spring, mid-sum,mer, fall, a/nd winter bird census of Illinois. They found, during the summer, 7,740 birds, or an average of practically one bird per acre living In the state thru the summer season. (Eighteen per cent of all were English sparrows. On this bails "tho total summer popula tion of the state, figured separately for Its three divisions, numbered nearly 31 million birds, of which 5% •million were sparrows. These students, were aoute and re liable specialists in observing :birds. They traversed the state in various dlreotlons, always following straight lines and keeping thirty yards apart. They made an accurate record of all birds flushed by them or flying over the 160-foot strip within 300 feet in front of thorn. A carefully-tested pedometer and a "lumber counter" enabled them to make a reoord of the distance traveled and the number of paces taken over each kind of crop. Eighty-.five species of .birds were sighted 1-n the summer inspection, but 70 per cent of these belonged to ten species, as follows: English sparrow, 1,414 meadow lark, 1.025 crow black bird, 900 mourning dove, 461 dick cissel, 393. red-winged blackbird, 347 prairie horned lark, 296 flicker, 197 robin, 194 and field sparrow, 186.

Chicago, May 21—Cattle were strong, on meagre offerings and good demand. There was a weak tone at the open ing, but it did not last long. It has been pointed out of laite that .the situation gives small promise of imending from the weakened state which has materialized. Texas steers are moving freely in river imarkets and the liberal supplies of these are hurt ing the trade for all buit the choice natives, since Vhey are selling rela tively cheaiper than the short-fed corn •belt steers. In view of narrowed demands and packers' preference for Texans at other points the supply has proven above trade needs, and it will require only a slim volu.ne in the next few days, according to traders, to hold prices from further declines. .Mi Hogs." 1 1 •s The opening was strong, principally because of good buying by specialties, and fair demand from shippers. The close was steady for good grades, and others were easy at the eariy ad vance. Since quality has been poorer than usual with a inuch more liberal pro portion of common to fair mixed and "grassy" offerings, buyers discrimin ated more than usual again the poorer grades. The spread in prices has been considerably wider, 'With chances of a still greater range in the near future, meaning that the country will have to get wider margins. Combined receipts at elerven points the first half of the week totaled 234, 000, showing 110,000 decrease com pared with a week ago, and 93,000 de crease compared with a year ago. Sheep. Sheep were steady, but there was little life to trade. Live mutton trade continues in a rut. Fresh receipts are rather light, oth erwise it is ihard to say what would happen. As it is, the half-week sup ply is a little less than last week, but the .market Is still groggy from Mon day's glut. Stale stuff has been much in evidence and considerable soliciting has bad to be done to elicit .bids. Some salesmen claim to be equal to the task of moving their holdings at steady Xrices. The cause of this week's demoraliza tion was the big supply of Monday. Had that day produced but 20,000 and the rest of the 50,000 been divided be tween later days, it. is not probable that TOUph damage would have been (lone.

Special to Times-Republican. Grinnell, May 21,—The Morrlson Ricker Manufacturing Company have nearly completed the first step to the introduction of the sprinkling system in their glove factory, by the erection of a steel tower sixty. feet in freight, with a water tank resting upon it with a capacity of 20,000 gallons. The tow er is placed between the two main fac tory buildings, and gives the adequate protection, by a secondary water sup ply, that is demanded by the sprinkler company before installing their sys tem for fire protection. The cost of tank and tower is about $900. The new arrangement in the college of having Tuesday, June 9th, as "Al umni Day," is expected to bring- .out an exceptional number of the gradu ates of the institution, and to stimu late class reunions. One noted class gathering is scheduled, in which the entire class of 1858 will celebrate its semi-centennial. The three men who composed this class are still living, and each one has signified his determina tion to be here. They are Rev. E. O. Tade, from California H. H. Belfleld, of Chicago, and Rev. C. T. Steck,, of Pennsylvania. Such an occurrence can very rarely be duplicated, and much interest will attach to it. The class of 1908 ^also plan to celebrate their tenth anniversary by a full re union i.f possible, and a large part of the class of last year have planned to be present this year. The Grinnell Electric and Heating Company are preparing for a much ilesired improvement by tearing down the old brick building on Main street just below Third avenue. This was built a.lJout IbSO by Ed. Roads, pid was used by him, and later by C. N. Perry, for an agricultural implement house. It was for a time a barbed wire factory. In the past fifteen years it has been in use for various pur poses of storage, none of which added any to its attractiveness, and the peo ple of the city will rejoice to see some thing put into Its place that would be a credit to the location and the city. Andrew Mcintosh, Jr., who has been spending the past year mostly in Lau rel, Mont., has returned to Grinnell, and announces his intention of spend ing the next year in college here. Harry Wood, of the senior class in the college, has been recommended by Professor Peck as the one best fitted by his work in American History to receive the medal given by the "So ciety of the Colonial Dame?" at Des Moines, who annually award six med als to the recommended students of six Iowa colleges for the best- work in that line. The company, to whom was let the contract for $18,000 worth of sewer and water mains work, has been at work on the sewer excavation for some days, with a very fair rate of progress. The work (if excavation is done by a huge machine that does the work rapidly, lessens the danger to the workmen employed, and overcomes the necessity of leaving any great por tion of the ditch open, as the sewer tile are laid as fast as the proper lev el is reached. The machine in opera tion is a source of interest to many visitors from the town. The prodigal son business Is about the poorest prescription that can be recommended for the purpose of -work ing up an appetite. HE Failnre of Conferees to Agree on Currency Bill Endangers Republicans PRESIDENT MAY GET BUSY Roosevelt Likely to Take Steps to Pre- venffDisruptfon of the Party—Blame Rests With-Republicans Leaders f" Express Sorrow for Present Situa­ tion. 1 Chicago. May 21— Raymond in his correspondence to the Tribune says: Fearing it will be impossible to pass the Vreeland bill thru the senate at the present time, Mr. Aldrioh today al most abandoned hope of currency leg islation, and tomorrow will introduce in the senate a joint resolution providing for a commission of nine senators and the same number of representatives to study the financial situation and report a comprehensive banking and curregey scheme next winter. The differences between the house and senate were not difficult of adjust ment so far as the conference commit tee was concerned, but an informal poll of the senate showed, or seemed to show, that the general principle of the house-bill would provoke an almost un limited discussion. The conference committee today did not vote to dis agree, but it will simply make no re port for the present. If within the remaining few days of the session conditions should change materially the conference will meet again and present a report. Otherwise nothing will be done and the entire conference will go over until next win ter, which would still give, it the right of way. The general opinion is that currency legislation now is out of the question unless there, is a sudden wave of public opinion or the president takes a hand. Leaders All Express Sorrow. This unfortunate condition is a source of genuine regret to leaders on both sides of the capltol. They are. afraid to go into the next campaign with the fear of a money stringency constantly present. It is generally ad mitted that if there is a--panicky con dition thruout the country along about next October the republicans will al most surely lose the house of repre sentatives. Speaker Cannon and Sen ator Aldrich did the best they could to get together, but the difference of opinion .between the house and senate seemed so radical that no one was willing to undertake at this late stage to hold congress in session long enough to fight the Vreeland bill thru the sen ate. There are a number of older mem bers of: the senate, particularly those from eastern states, who are entirely out of touch' with the conditio!# of pub lic sentiment in the interior. The demo crats, as a matter of course, do not want any currency legislation at thts time. They fully expect that there will be another financial stringency next fall, and 'in that event they expect to make political capital enough to carry the house of representatives and pos sibly even to win the presidency. The republican leaders admit that this is an entirely' reasonable hope from a political point of view. With the (president and both houses of con gress republican and with an abund ance of time to frame up the neces sary legislation congress has thus far failed to do anything at all, in spite of the terrible lesson of last fall Blame AM on Republicans.

When the conference broke up last night the opinion was expressed by most of the republican members that there would be no legislation at this session. This opinion, however, is based on conditions as they were to day. There are two things which may change the situation. One Is a sud denly aroused public opinion, and the other is President Roosevelt. When the panic caine last fall there was a general demand for a special session of congress to take aotion to better the money imarket. Before any thing could be done, however, the treasury department and the associated banks stemmed the tide to such an extent that it was deemed best to wait for the regular session. President Roosevelt appealed to congress vig orously for immediate legislation. The whole country was alive to the neces sity for it. Congress did nothing and it has done nothing since December. When the senate passed the Aldrich bill .there was an immediate wave of opposition and criticism from the wes tern states. Bankers and business men soon saw that the Aldrich bill was designed for the express purpose of concentrating any emergency currency in the hand's of the eastern banks.
