I-"*! "V i* s.r: t$\ Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, June 2.—Information from over the state, received here, ia that there is a heavy vote in the cities everywhere. The country polling places did not open till 1 o'clock. In this city votes, -while the republican voting considerably above 100. V'1 The rain, which Is quite general over the state, will result in heavy votes in the farmer district's, because the farmers canpot work lA the fields. At Fort Dodge last night the hall would not hold the governor's audience and he held an overflow meeting to an au dience as large as the first. The enthu siasm is intense. The heavy early vote is causing the friends of the governor to begin talking of a landslide. Last Hour Campaign Fakea. K5? Special to Times -Republican. S •CslDes Moines, June 2.-—With Governor Cummins claiming that he will have at least 25,000 majority for United States senator la the republican pri- publican vote, in this city, mary today and Senator Allison's friends claiming 15,000 majority, the chances greatly favor the governor's nomination and the defeat of the sen ior senator. Estimates of the outcome are of such varied character and the fact that there is no basis of. comparison, be cause this is the first trial of the Iowa primary election law, convince careful men that claims put forward by the managers of Senator Allison in some cases are oversanguine. The average of the estimates made by both sides is convincing that tfte contest is ex tremely close, and if it goes either way by more than a few thousand most of the conservative politicians will be surprised. Beta were offered on both sides and taken even disclosing that the politicians who were talking big'majorities had no genuine confi dence. Much depends on the size of the vote. Roosevelt had 307,000 in 1904. The average republican vote on state officers has been about 230,000. Ninety per cent of the vote is expected to be polled today. Each side is anxious that the farmers should vote, each claiming a majority of them. Senator Allison's return to Dubuqus for "the last" day no effect on the situation. His failure ful commander. Allison's great age—he is 79—should be taken into consideration In elect ing him for a seventh term of six years. The contest presents a clearcut fight between the progressive republicans, Jed by Governor Cummins, and the standpatters, led by the interests which have opposed reform legislation and which backed Senator Allison as the strongest candidate against Cum mins. They are fighting against Cum mins and not for Allison. Garat Will Be Governor. Warren Garst, lieutenant governor. Is the progressive candidate for gover nor, and if Cummins has a fair major ity Garst Will be nominated, and George W. Clark, former speaker of the house, will be nominated for lieutenant governor. State Auditor B. F. Car roll, the antl-Cummlns candidate for governor, is regarded as slightly stronger than Allison. Alll8on managers are claiming 5,000 majority for him In the First, or Blythe district the Cummins men concede about 500. The Allison men claim 3, 000 in the Second, while the opposition believes the district will break even. In the Third the Allison forces claim 4,000 majority. Cummins men say that district will break about even. The Fifth is claimed by the Alilson mana gers by 1,000, but it Is generally be lieved it will give Good 780 majority. The Allison men claim tihe Sixth by 4. 000. The Cummins men will concede Mat more th"» 1,500. The Allison men 7 t' W!ss!~m A: '.r 1 there are but few democrats voting.

Gilibertson, manager of the Cummins' campaign, gave out the fol lowing statement: "Governor Cummins will have 25.000 majority for senator in Tuesday's pri mary. In all the northern counties of the state his friends will give him the usual majorities, and he has made remarkable gains in the southern counties of the state. Especially in the First and -Eighth districts, the senti ment has been turning strongly to ward him and his vote in counties where he has previously had no dele gates will be surprisingly large. In Des Moines and the Seventh district the majority for Cummins will aston ish his enemies. "Reports from all parts of the state show that the progressive lines are voters are ready to act.

Lovejoy, one of the famous "young partners" of the Carnegie Steel Company, has closed a bitter quarrel of more than ten years' standing and has saved Mr. Lovejoy's home and spared him serious embarrassment. Two months ago Lovejoy was threat- ened wlih financial annihilation. His for tune of $2,225,000 is tk'd up in Idaho mining property, which he asserts will some day be worth $200,000,000.

Delayed Four Years. Baltimore, Md., June 2.—The Meth odist general conference officially ad journed at ten minutes after 11 night, on motion of F. A. Archer, of Cleveland. This cut off the final freport, among other things of the committee cn itinerancy, thus shelving for four years any possible reconsideration of the time limit question. Thus the great law making body of the church dissolved without acting except in committee on two of the most widely discussed topics before Methodism. One of these, the amuse ment .question, was buried in commit tee after the bishops had recommended a change in the discipline on the first day of the conference. The failure of the committee on itinerancy to get the time limit mem orial before the main body has been anticipated for several days, and ap parently the leaders of the conference, holding diverging views themselves, decided not to try to debate the big questions in a limited space of time. A great deal of business was rushed thru at the three sessions of today, a "sifting committee," headed by Dr. Buckley, having been in control of the program oh the last three days. Most of today's work, however, was not productive of wide differences of opinion.

Stephen N. Fellows, the oldest Methodist minis ter in Iowa, former presiding elder of the Upper Iowa coniference, and for many years professor of philos-' ophy in the State University Of Iowa, died this morning. te/ Dr. Fellows was born May 30, 1830, in North Sandwich, N. H. His early educational advantages were meager, and at the age of 18, he entered Rook River seminary, at Mount Morris, 111., but for lack of means was urtable to continue his studies beyond the fourth term. In 1851 he entered Asbury, no\y DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind., where he graduated with the degree of A. B. in 1854. Previous to his graduation he was made professor of mathematics and natural science at Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa. In 1856 he joined the Upper Iowa con ference of the M. E. church, and in 1860 resigned his professorship and en tered the ministry, having charge of churches at Dyersville, Tipton, Lyons and Marshalltown. In 1867, by a unanimous vote, Dr. 'Fellows was elected principal of the normal de partment of the State University of Iowa, holding that position 20 years. When he began his work, the state had neither made provision for any higher normal course nor planned to do so, but Dr. Fellows recognized the need of this higher education of teachers, and it was largely thru his influence that the standard of the department was raised. In 1873, thru his efforts, the elementary normal department was formed and became the chair of di dactics, and united with that of men tal and moral science. For six years was itaition and hygiene, especially in the any American college or university, public schools, that physicians might Dr. Fellows was president of the Stat msratinn Teachers association in 1869 and 1872. have more saidThat the tion was the public press, and Ecumenical Methodist conference at lieved that if the doctors would be frank with the press, the latter would PASTORS FOR DANCE TEACHING Indianapolis Ministers Reject Resolu tion Offered by Methodists.

N E ItS Congressman Scored By Hontel Committee Still Believes Boat Scandal Charges PUTS BOUTELL IN A HOL Makes Public Letter Sent by Commi tea Chairman Offering to Effect a Agreement to Compromise the lnv~ tigation Boutell Expreeaed Admi ation for Lilley. Waterbury, Conn., June 2—'Congress man George L. Lilley, whose resolutip and charges in connection with the so called submarine boat scandal resulte last week in a severe scoring of th congressman by the Boutell investigat ing committee, today gave out a state ment on the subject. Incorporated in the statement ia 1 letter which declares that, two weeki before the report of the committee de nouncing Lilley was made, Boutell pressed admiration for Lililey and en deavored to effect an agreement where by the matter under investigation-, the committee might be compromised The letter in which this allegation .is made is signed "E. W. Reisinger,' D.," and was addressed to Mrs. LUjjp~ after the doctor had called upon Boil tell to explain that Lilley's physical condition necessitated him leaving the city. The letter adds that when th® proposition to compromise Was oar-! ried to Lilley by Reisinger, the con gressman replied that he would ratliei die than withdraw the charges, whlpc" he knew were honest and square. Lilley says he still believes the Elec trie Boat Company has received excea sive profits In the sale of submarin boats to the government and' declapr he has not now and never did have an interest in any company or affiliation with any person engaged in construct ing or selling submarine torpedo boa. EYE REVEALS MURDERER. Photograph of Victim's Lans She Features of Slayer. Chicago, June 2.—Will th" eye of a murdered human being photograph Its murderer? Will the human retina retain the imprint of the murderer's countenance and reflect it after death' into the detective's camera to point the finger of guilt at an unsuspected criminal? Science has said yes and no. At Alton, 111., where a woman was murdered, the authorities are prepared to take issue with the scientists who have said "No." They have remarkable photograph from the eye of the slain victim, which reveals clearly the visaage of a bearded mail with a bald head. Coroner Streeper of Alton, applied the photographic eye test in-the case of a woman whose body was found ill the Mississippi river last Thursday. When the body was recovered it waa apparent that death had ensued only a few hours before. There was no clue to the woman's identity, and every indication pointed to murder. Coroner Streeper removed the Crys talline lens of the woman's right eye and mounted it on a dark background. When he had completed the task the photographer was summoned into a specially prepared room and the eye. lens was exposed to the camera. The. negative of the picture taken was de veloped as speedily as possible, and both photograhper and coroner war* startled at the result. On the plate they could plainly traee the miniature face and head of a man. A print was made soon afterward, and a. human face, bearded, stood out ia the picture of the eye. Coroner Strepper supplied detectives with copies of the photograph and sent them to look for a man whose face corresponds with the picture taken from the retina ef the dead woman's eye. ITALIANS STORM BANK. Would Have Forced Entrance Had Not Cleveland, O., Police Interfered. Cleveland, O., June 2.—Five hun dred infuriated Italians stormed the closed doors of the private banking house of Gaetano Llotta, today, and had it not been for police interference, would have forced an entrance. As soon as the doors of the 'bank falle& to open at the accustomed time, this 1 morning, the bank was surrounded by Italians. The rumor flew fast, and meii, women and children flocked to the place, where they had deposited their savings. The crowd threatened to break in the doors, and a riot call was turned In. A squad of policemen, soon arrived and drove back the Ital ians. Llotta, it is said, cannot, be found. The total deposits do no amount to more than $30,000. MRS. LOGAN INJURED BY FALL.

Allison Campaign Mismanaged From Beginning Until Elec tion Dayv 4 't I PROVIDENCE Pi I r'8 r,* ip.u« ON RIGHT SIDE Series of Circumstances Aid Their they claim is a fake.

Des Moines, June 2.—Providence toaay primary eiei.-i.iuii. a campaign of exploded fake charges ters were shoWn up and the standpat- whlch everyone now recognizes as on» ,tere(j the VNailed brewef^ad given *50,000 or »25-OOU or $10,000 or some amount to Cum- called arid he couldn't nna^xne the barft wireji|?it, that Traveling, Men's A ssoc«a^1 ahi Juvd teen broken up by politics and the Cummins men ured, and that Prouty was the head of a lumber trust, all of them exploded in turn and were proven to he fakes patters did. to cicct t.'ummins wasu to claim that the democrats were pre- paring to vote for Cummins and then proceed to make bids for the^ demo- cratic vote for Allison, as was done by Dolliver in writing to the democratic literattire to democratic voters. KK U4.L aiiv/tiicr ototg*? wi the hand of providence was clearly to send message er weeks before t!he primary the state was to 'be. flooded with stories of Al lison's influence for the president in congress. But they had failed to con sult Roosevelt and the strenuous president spoiled it all by .Jumping on congress with both feet in file hope of getting it to pass soime much needed bills. ®till another blunder of the Allison campaign was in not hiring Julian Richards early in the campaign to work for Allison. Soured at the treat ment. Riclmrds began telling some un pleasant truth's about the campaign in lg correspondence. Then they took "hhn in and Richards made the blunder oif sending an offer of Allison plate service to a lot of Cummins news papers. Then the Allison Polk County club was organized with Wilbur J. Garrison as secretary. Garrison being the man •who conducted the railroad bureau in Des Moines, ibuying space in the coun try newspapers against the passage of the rate bill in congress. Dolliver's Bad Break. •Probably the most providential tlhing of the campaign was the en trance of Senator Dolliver as the chief speaker for Allison. After promising Cummins that he would saiipport him this campaign and after telling the people about Fort Dodge that he pro posed to support Cummins, -JDolliver was in a poor position to «$ftlmp the state for Allison, but he did "not seem to realize it. Not only this but he estranged many of the standpatters from Allison toy being the -first speak er during the campaign to begin Uirowing mud and descending to Jhe level of the low politician by calling his opponent names. This for a United States senator was not very dignified tn say the least and the people of the state fully realized the situation. When Dolliver charged tnat Cum mins was- a bogus reformer and en titled to- no credit for the agitation' of the rate law amendment, he opened the way for a telling thru»t from the (progressives, and before the discus sion of the charge was over wltih Dolliver himself was proven to be but a milk find water advocate of the rate amendment himself. Dolliver's tour of the stato was a succession oif blunders and tho .more he talked the worse he ihas made It for Allison. •The last break the Allison people made was the claim that a late picture cf Allison taken by Harris Ew ing, of Washington, was a fake, had been doctored to make him look old, and finally that it was not a picture of Allison at all, but was a picture of Senator Piatt, of New York, who is not as old as is Allison. Finally they circulated a picture of their own which they claim is genuine and which 'makes the aged .senator look even older Mian the picture which Campaign Believed to Have Injured made was the claim that Judge Blair onrl riA\fnr«Ai« Pnttimlnfl WflC 1 Vl Allison's Chances. a- has been on the side. of the progressives during th^ campaign that closes with today's prlmarv election.

Special to Times-Republican. •Iowa City, June 2.—Attracted by the anti©3 of an enraged cow shyins at the appearance of scantily clad cross country runners, a farmer west of Iowa City took chase after three prominent university students out on a run, and pursued them for a -mile and a half In an- endeavor to punish them for trespassing. The three run ners, Roy Redfleld. George Luxford, and T.

Waterloo Man to Visit New Zealand Brother in Hon olulu HAVE NOT MET IN 53 YEARS Together They Will Travel 9,000 Miles to Meet in Their Declining Years Separated in Scotland When Boys— HaVo Corresponded Regularly All These Years. Special to Times-Republican. Waterloo, June 2.—James Wilson, of Waterloo, and David Wilson, of New Zealand, aged 68 and 70 -years re spectively, will travel 9,000 miles to visit each other after a separation of fifty-three years. By arrangement, by letter and cablegram, they will start froim their respective homes next Mon day, June 8, and will meet at Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. James Wilson will be accompanied by Ills daughter, Miss Mary, who is a teacher in -the Denver, Colo., public schools. The brothers were born and raised in Scotland. They parted when 15 and 17 years old, each pledging the other to write at least once a year, that they might keep track of each other. Sometimes these letters have passed between them several times a year, and always, for the fifty-three years that they have been apart, once a year. David Wilson is in the service of the English government, and James is retired. They will visit for Just twenty-five days, the length David's leave of absence, and then each will re turn to his home, David to New Zea land, 5,000 miles from Honolulu and James to Waterloo, 4,000 miles from the "Cross Roads of the Pacific," This will doubtless be the last time in this world that they will chisp each other's hand and see each other face to face, and talk with each oth er. James Wilson is the father of D. J. and A. A. Wilson. He lived for many years In the vicinity of Relnbeck, where he and his family gained the love and esteem of all their acquain tances. The friends both in the old home and in the new will wish the brothers and Miss Mary Wilson a 8£^o and pleasant Journey across the blue wa ters of the Pacific. ILLEGAL FISHING CONTINUES. Clear Lake Law Violators Boast of Their Catches. IMason City, June 2.—It is evident that If the stories that are going the rounds at Clear Lake are true .,that illegal fishing is still being done there in spite of the fact that the recent visit of Fish Commissioner Green of Sioux.City frightened most of the law breakers and that now sin-ce the sea son is open a man must -be very bad indeed to violate the laws. The state law says that no one shall catch more than forty game fish in one day. It is asserted at Clear Lake that a pair of Ventura fishermen have boasted for the past week that since -the sea son has opened fchey have never caught less than ninety-six fish in one day and that several times their daily haul has been over 200. IFish Commissioner Green will re turn to this vicinity immediately af ter the primaries to be present at the proceedings against Fred Green and he will undoubtedly loolc into the case of these Ventura men who have so. openly and persistently violated the state fish laws. WEBSTER COUNTY BIRTH RATE. Total for Past Year Is 277 Males and 299 Females. Special to Times-Republican. Fort Dodge, June 2.—If all of the counties in the state of Iowa have done as well as has Webster, there will be^ little grounds for fearing race suicide in the Hawkeye state, the re port of'the various township assessors, which have just been filed'with County Clerk Bryant, showing that during the past year 576 .babies were born in the county, 277 being males, and 299 fe males. Figuring 'the population of the county in round numbers at 35,000, and the number of births at 600, one child has been born in the county to the average of each fifty-eight in popula tion. However, this ratio has not been maintained in this city, in that but 200 children-were born, or one to every eighty in population. COAL SHORTAGE REARED. Shipments to Be' Delayed During Summer,. Say Dealers,. Cedar. Rapids, June 1.—It is not the most cheering news that comes from the east to local dealers with refer ence to the coal condition, and from present indications it would seem that a coal famine during the coming win ter cannot be averted. According to the news received here from the east only 200,000 tons of coall had 'been moved by boat from Ohio and Lake Erie portts. The backwardness of the vessel people in furnishing boats is charged to the industrial situation in the east. The late reports of the ad vance in freight rates also is having an effect and it is difficult to tell what will happen. An advance of .prices by the iflrst of June is one of the predic tions made. The anthracite producing companies by demanding settlements with th^m should be made within 30 days, have •brought abouit a policy that collections must be kept up practically to the minute. The standing of various deal ers and the Industrial status of the city in which the coal dealer is located •were taken into consideration. The bi tuminous operators withdrew their former practice of giving six months' time on ex-lake coal and have refused to make contracts with concerns In the country whose standing has not •been determined. It is stated by one trade Journal tlhat mining companies have not sufficient money to carry customers indefinitely dealers and operators both are now slow in get ting together because of recent money conditions and shipments will bo de layed so long tills summer and so much shipping and producing will have to 'bo crowded into the winter that a possible shortagei'Of coal Is to be ex pected.

Spcclal to Tlmes-Rcpubllcan. With the reading of the charges in open court, it became apparent that they are of much more serious nature than was at first suspected. The na ture of the accusations have been ikept closely under the military lid, only rumors having leaked out as to just what the specifications covered. During a period cf eight months, from May until December, 1907, Ma jor George is accused of repeated falsifications of his mileage vouchers. •Inspection of meals in hotelsi at Ma son City and elsewhere Is also alleged to be false. Each and every specification reads in army style, "eald claims for mile age being made with the intent to de ceive, cheat and defraud the United States." Major George and Ms counsel, Lieut. Mumma and Attorney W. A. Graham of Des Moines, stood at attention as the charges were read. It took over half an hour, and Judge Advocate King is not a slow reader. When the major pleaded to the ac cusations he did so with a strong voice. His features did not betray any sign of nervousness. Objections were made three times at the morn ing session by Lieut.

Grinnell, June 2.—The third match between George Turner and "Turk Ali" before a Grinnell audionce, took place last evening, and Turner proved In this instance to be the better wrestler. Turner won the first fall in thirty minutes and eighteen seconds, by a half Nelson and "crotch hqld," and the second In succession In four teen minutes and fifty seconds by the same means. The work was clean and fair, and highly satisfactory to the au dience, who were evidently largely In sympathy with the home man. The audience was not so large as on the two previous occasions, but was far more demonstrative, and the wrestlers were evidenty spurred on to do their best work. Two preliminaries preceded the main match, Brinley and Young, two lads of Grinnell, working twenty minutes and forty seconds for a draw in the first bout, and each winning a fall in the two succeeding bouts, fol lowed by two bouts between Graber of Newton, and Decatur of Grinnell, Graber winning in both oases In ten and nine minutes respectively, with Parker for referee in both oases. Preparations are already being made for the erection of another business block on the immediate north of the (present business buildings on Broad street, by Coutts, Beyer and Clark. The building Is to toe a high one story, 44 feet In width by 90 in length, with a foundation of cement blocks and su perstructure of Omaha brick, with a fine cemented basement under the en tire building. Work will begin at once, and the building should be ready for occupancy in the early fall. Voting began early this morning, and has proceeded vigorously and the prospect Is that one of the largest votes ever polled in Grinnell may be expected, with both sides confidently claiming the victory until the votes are counted. George Clifton, formerly captain of Company K, Fifty-fourth regiment, of this city, announces his willingness to accept the captaincy again on the request of officers and men In the company. The company needs re cruits and special preparation for the coming summer camp work and in spection and. basing his opinion on the success of his former wo?k in that line, Mr. Clifton feels certain that he can bring the company up to a high state of efficiency.

Guttenberg, June 1.—The cily coun cil, having given the I. O. O. 1\ lodge a permit to put in a sewerage system for their building into the Mississippi river, the work of putting in the same was commenced Wednesday morning. Since there was quite a force at men working it did not take them long to have a trench three feet deep dug, from the building to the edge of the river bank. At this depth two Indian skele tons were found. The first found was discovered and dug out toy Mr. Fred Block. Together with the skeleton many brass trinkets were found, such as arm bands, rings, ear rings and •crosses. Two peculiarities of the first find are that hair was still clinging to the base of the .skull and that one of the trinkets bore tihe name "Joe" in printed letters. Pieces of blankets wore also found with both skeletons. The second found was discovered some half an hour later than the first by George Kirch, who engineered the job of digging him out so as to get all of the bones out as perfect as pos sible. The only thing found with this one besides pieces of blankets were numerous stnall snail shells. Both skeletons, which were in -a fair state of preservation, together with all trinkets found, were brought up to the public school.

Fort Dodge, June 2.—With one third the plow area of the county sub merged, or so wet that the crops are more or less badly damaged, the real ization has been forced uqon the far mers and land owners of Webster and other counties of the state, where like conditions prevail, that practically all of the work thus far carried on to ward tiling the wet lands, has been in a great measure futile, and must be done over. Even the best of the drain age systems have been insufficient to cope with the surplus moisture, and for ten days water has been stand ing one to three feet deep on some of the most fertile fields of the state. Iowa Is now at the point in its drainage development, wh'ich was reached in Illinois fifteen to twenty years ago. While there is tile on most of the farms of the state, in jpracticaliy every instance, the syattems are entire ly inadequate to the needs. They have improved general conditions, but to be really efficient, all must be greatly changed. Instead of on proper advice, the tiling of the state has been done with no knowledge at all of the real needs. The mains are invariably too small to quickly handle the water and clear the iields, and the branches are correspondingly inadequate, both in number and size. In most instances, according to experts, the tile is not more than half as large as the needs demand. In all cases, larger tile must be put in to"- handle the water with the facility desirable. The tiling, up to the present time, has done little for the really low land, so far as making it tillable is con cerned. It has increased the working and yielding value of the higher lands and medium levels, tout this Is ad mittedly all that has been accom plished. From this time, the demand for tile in the larger sizes must increase. The tile that has been used for mains will be taken up, and much larger tile must then be used for the mains. In Illinois and other states eiast, the same mistake was made as in Iowa. As soon as the conditions were recognized, the work of constructing the drainage sys tems was begun without ^lay. The same action will be taken here. The demand for tile in Iowa has but barely commenced, according to au thorities. There will be more drainage work in the next few years, than fc all the time since the flrst tile was laid in the state. In three years, since the passage of the drainage laws by the state legislature, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been ex pended in all sections of Iowa in large drainage ditches, forming for the first time, outlets for tile drainage in the flatter territories. Here the work of tile ditching has just begun. The rapid and steady increase in land values, and the several wet sea sons that have been experienced the past few years, have forced the im portance of drainage on land owner in all sections, and fhe work will be car ried on with ever increasing vigor till the last of the swamp lands have dis appeared from Iowa. The earnestness of the farm own ers in this direction is evidenced in the fact that all the more procrre^^ive men are borrowing money where It Is nec essary for them to borrow, and this money is being put into drainage work as rapidly as men can be secured to do the work. In Webster county alone, duringt the past three years, it is esti mated that as much as 25,000 acres have been added to the plow land and In most of the other flat counties an equal or greater gain has been made in crop area. GREAT WEEK FOR IOWA. Cases to Be Argued May Change Freight Rate System of State. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, June 2.—This week is to be a great week for Des Moines and for Iowa Is Washington. Cases which may change the freight rate system of the state will be argued two days be fore the full body of the interstate commerce commission. Freight Com missioner E. G. Wylie, who gathered together the evidence in the cases against the railroads heard here In February, and H. C. Wallace, who is Interested in the case brought to se cure fairer rates on live stock between Chicago and Iowa points, have already gone to Washington. Attorney N. T. Guernsey will leave tomorrow night to conduct the arguments in the .cases. The arguments in the case of the Corn Belt Meat Producers' association against the railroads will be heard to morrow. Mr. Wallace feels that con ditions of freight rates on live stock in Iowa are badly In need of remedy and advances the following arguments: The Iowa to Chicago rates are 33 per cent higher on cattle, 12 per cent high er on hogs, and 7 per cent higher on sheep than the raites for the same dis tances in Iowa. The Iowa to Chicago rates are 29 per cent higher on cattle, 16 per cent higher on hogs, and 36 per cent higher" on sheep than rates for the same dis tances from Missouri points to East St. Louis. The Iowa to Chicago rates are 30 per cent higher on cattle, 13 per cent high er on hogs, and 30 per cent higher on sheep than the rates for the same dis tances from Missouri points to Kansas City. The Iowa to Chicago rates are 13 per cent higher on cattle. 11 per cent high er on hogs and 27 per cent higher on sheep than for the same distances from Kansas and Nebraska points to Kftnsfts City. IXbe Iowa to Chicago rates are S3 per mm 2 1903 cent higher on cattle, 2.3 per cent higher on hogs and 19 per cent higher on sheep than the rates from Nebras ka points to Omaha. The Iowa to Chicago rates are 44 per cent higher on cattle, 4Ii per cent high er on hogs, and 50 per cent higher on sheep than the rates for the same dis unites from Michigan points to Chi cago. "These are simply a few examples of the milliner in which Iowa stockmen and farmers are discriminated against by the railroads." Mr. Wallace said: "In ail cases Iowa is given the worst of it notwithstanding the fact that we are the greatest live stock state and originate more live stock ireight than any other state in llie union. This is not the stockmen's light alone, It i3 the state's light." The cases of southern lumber rates and alleged discriminatory rates to Des Moines as compared with rates to Minneapolis and St. Paul will be ar gued before the commission Saturday. DEMISE OF W. H.

His obstruction policy does not merely carry itself fctward in an attempt to balk pro fress on questions of vital national mportance but he stands against any movement toward the aesthetic better stent of anything that represents the tational spirit. In an article In Collier's' Weekly by PSriuiam Hard, the details are furn ished of how at different times the ob itreporous Illinois congressman has rery 5nearly wrecked forever the beau ties of some of the government grounds and buildings &t "Washington. Be is pictured to us as being a haiter of architects, an enemy of parks and nimical to everything that tends to dvance the artistic in our public •ork.. 'J§! Washington is generally looked to is not only the seat of government but BUS a city which should be representa tive, in Us physical side, of the best that there is in the nation. Ambassa dors and envoys of all nations who treat with this government of neces sity make their home there and must •i carry from the national capital and |j^e to other people their impression of this country as gained there. That City should be in their eyes a lasting memory of all that is good and beau tlful, but Cannon, probably next, in power to the president, is opposed to }j this. That's a part of his doctrine of hindrance and anti-culture, but an im- rortant part. He is a man whose dress is nipt only Jslouchy but whose handling ol those celebrated long, black cigars, between bi^ teeth. Is anything but sanitary, or artistic. His profanity Is so marked as to be termed picturesque. Is it not just as -well that his boom for the presidency died a.Way before It beo&me necessary to step oh It and scotch it? Uncle Joe is a figure of granite, as nearly as the human figure can be constructed of granite, but the matenial seems to be largely unpol ished for public gaze. He has been handed down to us as a rugged type of a past generation, but a type that has no place in the enlightened, real and genteel progress of this day. mt: gstf MS Topics of the Times By the time he gets thru with appli cations for tickets to the national re publican convention Chairman New will feel like a chairman old Maybe it's cheaper to make the mill ion and a half peace offering than to build battleships, but those who favor warfare will argue that the offering protect^ with only one country, where as battleships may be used with all.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES The Waterloo Courier says: "If the voters will take particular notice they will find that nine out of ten of the Iowa editors who are filling their col umns with abuse of Governor Cum mins are either fellows who are hold ing down a postoffice job, have been promised a postoffice or have ^received a bump when they lined up at the pie counter. Waterloo voters have a local illustration." "Two punk shows in town recently," says the Baxter New Era. "Whenever people refuse to patronize cheap John concerns, perhaps some good Qnes come along." »f rT|ay In the opinion of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, "about the most contemptible fellow on earth is the one who will go a'bout town peddling lies against a candidate whom he opposes." "Dubuque saloon keepers have decid ed to compel all dispensers of drinks in that city to obey the mulct law in the hope that by so doing they will ap pease the temperance people and stop the on-coming wave of prohibition," comments the Newton Record. "We do not know whether prohibition will come to this state or not, but the sa loon keepers will never convince any body of the desirability of their busi ness by their show of abiding by the law They have too long a record of lawlessness behind them." 1 The Davenport Democrat and Lead er has this one: "A correspondent at San Antonio writes The Democrat that 'friction of a most uncivil kind has split the republican party in Texas. The at titude of Foraker in regard to the ne gro soldiers who shot up Brownsville, has enabled the opposition to the Hoo-evr't republicans to solidify the negro voters against the rogtilar repub licans.' But a republican split in Tex as does not count for so much as a rupture in Iowa, and we have the real thing." College Boys and the Law. 4 (From the Xew York World.) The lawless behavior of college youth may be traced to that lack of discipline which manifests Itself ev erywhere among the young generation. There has been much talk of the ef femlnization tit the American school­ boy. If to be effemlnized Is to be in solent and disobedient and to regard infractions of authority as a lark, the charge is only too true.

Bavaria is making arrangements to spend about ninety million dollars in deepening its rivers and building canals in order to be come the center of commerce be tween the North Sea and the Black Sea. The most Important work will be the construction of a waterway thru the valley of the Main be tween Aschaffenburg and Bischberg deep enough to float vessels of fifteen hundred tons. The river itself will be used so far as possible. To give access to the sea it will be necessary to dredge the lower reaches of the Main, connecting with the Rhine, and an arrangement has been made with Prussia for sharing the expense of this part of the work.

Here 'tis only four Weeks to the Fourth of July and the new bind has only met a few times so far to practice. Somehow these new brass bands invariably select for their practice room, one just a block from the ho:el. It's warm weather now and It's necessary to open the windowa in th hotel bedroom.

Pli BRYAN'S MILLSTONE. flSffll (Davenport Times.) Mr. Bryan is sure to have consider able difficulty in getting away from the millstone of government owner ship of railways if he is nominated for the presidency. His speeches on his return from his tour of-the world are not forgotten, and. altho this week he has asserted that government own ership is not an Immediate Issue and that government control Is, the fact that he recognizes it as a possible is sue at some future time makes it cer tain that those who are opposed to such ownership are not likely to take any chances of placing a man in the White House whose influential position will make it possible for him to give renewed force to an incipient demand for such government ownership, .y NOT WAIN TED IN THE 'SENATE.

The art, Indeed, seems to require a certain, natural aptitude or genius, without wfaich the most laborious study goes for naught.

(iBoston Advertiser) The British government committee which has been investigating the mat ter of Irish forestry takes notable cognizance of the waste of the for ests in the United States, and as about a third of the supply entering Great' Britain nearly $35,000,000 worth annu ally) comes from the United States and Canada, there is a logical and inti mate interest in England in the Am erican treatment of the American for estry problem. It is pointed out by this committee that the prices of some varieties of timber in 'England have risen 30 to 40 per cent in the last twenty years also that the quality of the timber Imported there is Inferior to what It was years ago, the natural and correct Inference from these facts be ing that the timbtr producing coun tries are using at home the best of their own product. All of which leads the committee to report in favor of a British nat'cnal scheme of for estry, as a profitable investment for the state. Portions of Ireland are looked 1 upon a? quite s.liable for refires tration. We trust the scheme will not he found "unconstitutional." -VI* i, 1 1 »f-.H Starting a Revolution. (From the Philadelphia Inquirer.) Congress has done considerable in the way of conservation, but it has merely scratched the surface. Some of the states have begun to arouse them selves. Thus Pennsylvania has en tered upon a system of forest preser vation and is adding steadily to the public domains, which means the growth of trees and the preservation of water sheds. Denude a water shed of trees and the result Is floods In the rivers in the spring and after heavy rains and shallow streaims during dry spells. We are aiming to prevent that. The whole subject is of tremendous import, and it was to create such gen eral interest as to lead to hearty co operation between the nation and the states that prompted the president to call into being this first great confer ence. His success has been marked. Of course, nothing else could be expected further than to make a start, and that has been made. Practicalities will come later, If the various governors shall grasp the situation and call upon their legislatures for action. Hurrah for Illinois Hen (From the Collier's Weekly.) Our weakness for the hen is known. Not unwillingly, therefore, do we chronicle the fact that in Illinois this fowl has achieved a triumph. Recently a Boston merchant sent to the western state a rush order for a large quantity of eggs. Within a single week 10,500 dozen eggs had been collected and the consignment filled. This feat reflects credit upon the IndlviduaJ iwho filled the order, and upon Woodford county, but still more upon the fowl.

(Special Washington Correspondence.) Washington, June 2.—From now on until the life of the present congress ends next March the spector of reduc tion of southern representation and of the enactment of federal law to protect elections will stalk thru the dreams ,of the senate democrats. The action of the house republicans In forcing thru the publicity bill -with the Crumpacker amendments has put into the hands of the senate republican leaders a powerful club which they can use almost at any time they choose to bat the senaJte democrats into submission. The situation was made manifest in tfhe course of the filibuster that Sen ator LaFollette started against the Aldrich-Vreeland currency bill. Not one senate democrat, voted for the adoption of the conference report. William J. Bryan sent telegrams to a number of democratic senators urg ing a fight against the Aldrich-Vree land bill. But Senator LaFollette could get little democratic help In his fill buster. It was not that a number of democratic senators did not want the bill killed. But it was the fear that if the filibuster was joined in by a number of the democrats! the senate republican leaders in their anxiety to pass currency legislation would adopt such rules shutting down on debate as would make it impossible for the senate democrats next ses sion if need be, or any time In the fu ture, to conduct an all-session tight against the enactment of legislation to reduce southern representation and likewise force legislation touching southern elections. Under such circumstances, the sen ate democrats showed a strange pa ralysis in failing to attack In de'bate a ibill which they generally condemned. Without the adoption of rules of cloture, to do away with unlimited discussion In the senate, it would be Impossible to get legislation along the lines of the Crumpacker amendments. The senate Is generally considered as not in the least likely ,to do away with the practice of unlimited debate. But In the heat of the recent .filibuster con ducted by the senator from, Wisconsin, the .senate rules got conslderably warped and it is probable the pro longed continuation of the fight would have resulted in a serious effort: to bring In a cloture rule. This was what the senate democrats were anx ious to avoid. The failure of the senate democrats to make any headway against the adoption of the conference report on the Aldrich-Vreeland bill, it may be added, is in line with their perform ances thruout the session that has just ended. Their worit all the session has been inieffective. In the first place, they started out to make political capital out of the treasury measures for the relief ot the country when last fall's depression came on. In this, they made no headway. It la doubtful If the ef fects will be discernible in the coming eleotlons of all that senate democrats said on this subject. The senate dem ocrats, as well as some of the repub lican senators, have been persistent in scoring the president for usurpation of authority but there is little ivi denct much has been accomplished by It The efforts cf Senator Culberson to fcrce raJiroad legislation that would further strengthen the interstate com merce laws .failed. It is generally conceded that Sen ator Culberson, the democratic lea.der of the senate, has not proven effective. Senator Culberson has many likable traits and he is honest and courageous but he has exhibited few of the traits and'little of the capacity for real lead ership. He has not held the senate democrats together. No team work has been exhibited. He has wasted time In dealing with trifling issues when there were larger ones lying around lopse that a pow'erful leader could have seized upon and made such use of as to, trouble the republicans. As it was, the senate democrats accomplished about as much against the republic* an organization as eleven men who had never seen a football could against a' crack championship bunch. It has been so hopelessly one-sided as to seldom become Interesting. The Illness of Sen ator Tillman, he of the pitchfork and the vitriolic tongue, has weakened the democrats. Senator Bailey has been compelled to spend much time in Tex as fighting for his political life and when here has not seemed eager to force himself to the front, preferring to let his oolleague, Culberson, get along as best he could. It is conceded on all hands that Bailey Is probably the superior in sheer brain power and -intellectual force of any man in the senate. Exposition of the Intricacies of constitutional law comes from his lips with the lucidity and simplicity of the A. B. C.'s. But he has suffered in the senate because of the attacks on him in Texas and besides he haa cer tain qualities of temperament that hardly qualify him to take the lead ership. Without a man of command ing ability, the democrats in the sen ate can not be amalgamated into a co hesive force and the needed Moses has not yet appeared on the horizon. $150 FOR CAMPAIGN ARGUMENT.

Great Western Pullman Car Robbed in Minnesota. Chicago, June 1.—It was an indig nant army in pink and blue pajamas that-filed out of the berths of a Pull man sleeping car of a Chicago bound Great Western train yesterday. Their clothes had been stolen. Suit cases, coats, and trousers had been gathered up during the stilly night by a miscreant or band of sneak thieves who probably entered the car soon after it left Inver Grove. Minn. The army marched straight for the berth occupied by Conductor Arthur Calvin. His only recruit was a doubt ful ally, for the porter's suit case had been stolen, too. Conductor Also a Sufferer. The conductor, besieged on every hand, promised an investigation. He made a brilliant sortie to the rear of the car only to discover that his own suit case and surplus wardrobe had disappeared. By the time the train reached Chi cago at 3:30 In the afternoon the en tire party had obtained a sufficient number of outer garments so that none need fear the police in getting from the train to cabs. Investigation revealed the fact that the rea/r door of the Pullman car had been left unlocked when the train was blocked by a derailed freight a few miles out of Inver Grove. The men In the car believing that a holdup had occurred, pushed from their •berths and out of the car to Investi gate. The women covered up their heads and waited to learn the worst. While the men were out of the car, it is believed, thieves entered the rear door and quickly went thru the berths, taking clothing and valuables of what ever kind they could find. The wotn en declare they heard no one enter the car during the stop. The train was held more than an hour until the track was cleared. Officials of the Pullman company said that restitution would be made for the clothing that had been taken from passengers. CARE FOR IOWA VISITORS. All Will Be Able to See Big Chicago Convention. Council Bluffs, June 1.—"Iowa will have the finest headquarters of any state at the republican national con vention In Chicago," said National Committeeman Ernest E. Hart, who has returned after a week in Chicago completing arrangements for the big political meeting. "Our apartments will be In the palm room of the Auditorium Annex, •with a door otpenlng into Taft head quarters. Next to Taft'a rooms are Fairbanks' headquarters. It is planned to arrange to permit every visitor from Iowa to attend one session of the convention. It will, be impossible to get other than delegates Into more than one session, there being an ex traordinary demand for tickets this year. All applications for tlokets should be made at my rooms In the Auditorium Annex." Mr. Hart reports that arrangements are about ten days ahead of what they usually are at this time relative to the date for the convention. He re turns to Chicago Tuesday to attend a meeting of the subcommittee on ar rangements of which he is treasurer, to be held June 4. On the following day the whole committee meets to hear cdntests, of which there are sev enty-seven on district delegates and eleven on state delegations. SUNDAY SPLINTERS HIS PULPIT. Base Ball Player-Evangelist Expounds Gospel as He Would Bat. Sharon, Pa., June 1.—The Rev. Billy Sunday, the ex-professional base ball player, closed a series of revival meet ings at the Tsbbernacle htere yesterday. He got so excited preaching to a large audience, and was so intent on leav ing an Impression on his converts after he left the city, that he pounded the hardwood pulpit into splinters with his fist. He pulled off a large sliver of wood from the desk and "beat the air with it to emphasize his remarks. He would grasp the stick like a bat ter facing the pitcher, measure the dis tance with his club, and beat the air as if pounding out a three bagger. Many of his listeners were .base ball fans and they watched with intense in terest to See the reverend Billy land on an imaginary ball as he sought to drive home some particular player lag ging on a base. It was the best bit of spiritual bat ting ever seen In this section. GET ALLEGED COUNTERFEITERS. Winnipeg Police Believe They Have Noted American Criminals Winnipeg, Man., Juno 1.—Wolff Co hen and Solomon Salamowicz, two al leged green goods men from Philadel phia, under arrest here, are in reality counterfeiters of national reputation, according to the police, and a charge of counterfeiting will be laid against them. For some months notices have been sent out by the police authorities that a dangerous gang of counterfeiters was operating in the south and east. Re cently it was learned that members of this gang were headed for Winnipeg. When the Philadelphia men first ap peared in Winnipeg they showed unfin ished American bills to N. Segal, their Intended victim. Detectives are search ing for the house in which the two men stayed. It is believed apparatus for manufacturing spurious money will be discovered there. Before his arrest Cohen boasted that if the police attempted to arrest him he would kill both himself and them, ex hibiting a small vial which he said con tained nitroglycerin.

Morningside College Dean Thinks Dr. Lewis Will Complete Endowment Fund. Sloiux City, June 1.—Rev. S. L. Chandler, dean of Mornfngsido college, believes that despite Dr. W. S. Lewis' election to a bishopric in the Metho dist Episcopal church he will remain at the head of Morningside college for a year or more in order that he may complete the work of raising the en dowment fund before going to the new field. Dr. Lewis was assigned by the general conference to the mis sionary field in China with a residence at Foo Chow. Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs. "Several years since my lungs were so badly affected that I had many hem orrhages," writes A. M. Ake, of Wood. Ind. "I took treatment with several physicians without any benefit. I then started to take Foley's Honey and Tar, and my lungs are now as sound as a bullet. I recommend it in advanced stages of lung trouble." Foley's Honey and Tar stops the cough and heals the lungs, and prevents serious results from a cold.

The latter wore a haggard, troubled look, and his natural nervousness had visibly deepened, so much so that he had not even noted Phelan's appear ance in the corridor as he passed into Horrlgan's private room. "Good evening, alderman," sftid Hor rlgan civilly. "Good evening, sir," answered Rob erts palpably ill at ease. "I understand there's a full meeting today. Even Ellis came back from the south to be here. You're the only man missing." i,j-, "I couldn't get here sooner. I"—* "I see. That's all, Williams. You needn't wait. Roberts and I want a little talk before he goes in. Now, then," went uu (he boss, with a com plete cfca:aj«» tif r-iannar as Williams left the rewir, "what's the matter with you?" "I—I can't"— "Can't what? Speak out. man! Don't stand there and mumble at me!" "i can't vote for the Borough fran chise bill." "Can't, hey?" roared Horrigau. "Why not?" "Because—because"— faltered Rob erts then, with a rush of hysterical emotion that blotted out his fear, he cried: "Have you heard what that man Ben nett has done? He organized a voters' committee in my ward and sent them to ask me at my own house what I was going to do about that bill. They had been stirred up by Bennett till they looked on me as a crook and on the bill as a personal robbery. They told me if I voted for it they'd know I was a dirty thief and grafter and that they'd kick me out of the ward." "Well, well!" rumbled Horrigau soothingly, as though trying to calm a fractious drunkard. "What do you care? When they've forgotten all about the bill you'll still have the dough, won't you? Folks won't ask 'How'd he get it?' All they'll care to know is 'Has he got it?"* "That isn't all!" Roberts blundered on, scarcely heeding the interruption. "Bennett's next step was to organize a committee of voters' wives, and they came to see my wife this morning when I was out and told her they'd heard I was going to sell myself and vote for a dishonest bill. My wife—i my wife thinks. I'm the squares^/ noblest man on earth. Oh, you needn't sneer! Her trust means everything to me. She told the women I wouldn't stoop to any deed that wasn't honest, and they answered: 'Our husbands be lieve Mr. Roberts is a crook. If he is really honest he'll vote against that bill, as he did before.' Then on my way home this noon I met my little boy. He was crying. I asked him what the matter was.* He said that some boys had told him I was a grad er. I tell you," his voice rising almost to a scream, "Bennett's made my life a hell. I'm no crook. I'm honest and"— "Sure you're honest!" Horrigan ex claimed, as though to a cross child. "Honest as the day! That's why you're voting for our bill. Because the crooked clauses have been cut out of it, and In its present form it's a benefit to the city." "That isn't why I promised to vote for it," contradicted Roberts, with a despairing dash of courage. "It was because I—because"— ,,i "Never mjnd why, then, but" just 'go ahead ai*I do it" "I won't! I dare not"— 4 sg, lfJ* "You'll do it, I say!" stormed Horri gan. "You can't welch on me at this stage of the game. Those Sturtevant Trust company notes of yours were sent to you and"— "And I won't take them!" declared Roberts, slamming two slips of paper down upon the table. "There! Take them back!" "What do I want of them?" argued Horrigan craftily. "They, belong to you." "They don't I won't keep them." "You'll have to. I keep you to your promise." "What promise?" asked a voice be hind them. Bennett, hastily summoned by Phe lan, had entei?d the room unobserved by either of the excited men. "What promise?" he asked again. "A promise to"— "What arc you doing here?" bellow ed Horrigan in fury. "You called me down once for coming into your pri vate office without knocking. What d'you mean by coming into mine?" "Yours?" queried Alwyn. "I had an Idea It-was the city's. The time is past when the words 'Etbrrigan' and city' meant the same' thing-. Well, Roberts, how are you going to vote?

"Nothing of yours!" shouted Horri gan, making a futile, furious grab for the documents which Alwyn was pick ing up. "Drop them! Drop them, I say, or you'll— "Why should I?" asked Bennett calm ly, his quick eye taking in the nature of the slips of paper even as his alert brain grasped in full the meaning of the transaction In which they figured. "Do they belong to you?" "They don't belong to you anyway," retorted Horrigan, "and If you dare read them"— "I've already read them. Roberts," he added in a kinder voice, turning to the shaking alderman, "these were to have been your bribe, weren't they, for voting for the Borough bill?" His quietly compelling tone and glance forced from Roberts a frightened "Yes" before Horrigan could interfere. "I thought so. Be quiet, Horrigan," he commanded as. tjie Infuriated boss sought to speak through his choking wrath. "This Is between Roberts and me. Now, then"— 1, "I returned the notes to him!" plead ed Roberts in panic. "Honestly, I did! Just before you came in. I' could have kept them, and he couldn't have 'pre vented me even if I voted against the bill. B(it I'm square and"— "You are square!" affirmed Bennett, gripping the alderman's cold, moist hand in friendly reassurance. "I knew all along you were honest at heart. Horrigan wanted to bribe you, and you wouldn't be bribed. Now, I want you to go into the council room and vote as your manhood tells you to." Roberts, comforted, yet still trem bling. obeyed, not venturing a second look at Horrigan. "Now, my friend," said Bennett pleasantly when be and the boss were alone together, "what are you going to do about it? It seeuis to me your game is up." "I want those notes!" paAted Horri gan, finding coherent speech with an effort through his red mist of rage. "Why? They're n«jt yours. They aren't made over to you, and there is no cancellation stamp on them. They are the property of the Sturtevant Trust company, und I'll send them back there tomorrow—after I've had them photographed." "You'll give them to me," shouted Horrigan, his mifrhly body vibrating with fury, "or you'll, never leave this room alive!" "You're a fool, Horrigan," remarked Bennett, with condescending calxa, "for you don't even |Bs|| know the right man to bully!" He gazed un flinchingly into the maddened little eyes of the boss, And so for a moment they stood—pa trician and pro letariat—in the world old strug gle of the two for supremacy. a face was scar let, distorted, Bennett's pale, Vi1-'!: cold, deadly in Then waged the battle its repose. of wills, both men. And then standing motionless, waged the bat­ tle of wills, both men standing mo tionless, tense, vibrant with dynamic force. Slowly, little by little, Horrlgan's eyes dropped. He moved awkwardly to one side from his position in front of the door and Bennett without so much as a backward look, passed out. The boss, like a man in a daze, sank heavily into a chair and gazed straight ahead of him, his usually red face gray and pasty. But he was not to enjoy even the ecant boon of solitude. From the ante room Oibbs strolled in. "They're going over some unimpor tant preliminary business," remarked the broker, "so I came out for a breath of fresh air. How are things going?" "We're beat," grunted Horrigan, not looking up. "Beat?" screamed Glbbs, ashen aqd inert at the news. "You don't mean it! You can't mean It! -Great heaven!" The sight of the other's cowardly emotion seemed to rouse Horrigan from his apathy. "If I can stand ii you can!" he snarl ed. "You only lose your percentage on the deal, while I"— "A percentage?" echoed Glbbs, too panic stricken to heed his own indis cretion. "Every cent I had, in the world! I"— He checked himself an instant too late. "So?" drawled Horrigan, his keen little eyes searing the other with boundless contempt. "So it was you who were secretly buying up the stock and tailing iu on to our game, hey?" "I'm ruined! Broke! And"— "And you've gut it coming to you, you whining traitor! The man who goes back on his partners deserves all the kicking he gets." -I—I didn't rnecu any harm! mum bled the crushed Gibbs. "It couldn't hurt you people to have me buy Bor ough stock for myself, and I'd have cleared up a million'and more. Oh, don't glower like that Horrigan, but to in so a "Of what you cur?" "Isn't there any Way even now to make Bennett let up on bis fight?" "If there was you couidn't-be of use srssift: to us, so why should I talk- about It to you?" "But I'd do anything In the world— anything"— "You would?" cut in Horrigan sharply. "Yes, yes! Only give me a chance! I'd"— Horrigan considered, then said re flectively "No chance is too slight to take at a time like this, and nobody's too rotten to be of use. I've found there are three things, one of which will always buy any man—a woman, ambition or cash. We've tried Bennett on ambi tion he doesn't need money, so only the first of the three remains.". "A woman? I don't.understand.". "Miss Wainwright." "But"— "Listen here. Bennett's in love with Wainwrlght's niece. You've cut him out Go and tell him if he'll let our bill alone you'll smash the engagement and leave her free to marry hiiu. See?" "I can't! I—hold on, though! After ward I cop Id deny the whole thing, couldn't I? It'd be his word against mine, and she'd never believe I could do such a thing.. I—I might try."* "Yes," growled Horrigan, "you might. A cur that's lost all his nerve can try things that even an ordinary crook would balk at." But Gibbs did not hear. He had re turned to the porridor In search of Bennett. The man scarcely deserved the opprobrium heaped on him by Hor rigan. A brilliant dariiig operator, he was, unknowp to himself, a rank cow ard at heart. JTor the first time in his life the cowardice had cropped out, and, to do Glbbs Justice, it had driven him temporarily insane. In his nor mal senses he would never have stoop ed to the plan he wps ri6w so eager to carry out It was a putrid bit of Jet sam at which a "'financially drowning man did not acntple to clutch. Hoirigan followed hiin from the room,- bis own splendid nptve quite re covered from the crushing blow his hopes had received. He. had staked heavily on (he deal. Moreover^ its fail ure, as bi knew, meant the wreck of that mlghtj political prestige he had so long and wearisomely built up. It might even, if Alwyn ,fulfilled his threat about the notes, lead to graver personal consequences. Yet the bull dog pluck that had carried this man of iron from tfie gutter to the summit1 of political power did not desert him, nor did ho show the loss of one lota of his customary monumental calm. Scarcely had Horrigan quitted the room when Perry mid Dallas entered it V. 'V C. Wi "You could cut the atmosphere ir, there with a cheese knife." Perry was saylng. "Williams doesn't think iht Borough bill will came up for half uu hour or so. Wle'd better, spend tnc time till then in here than to stqy the.-* and turn our lung& into a microbe zoo." Dallas did not answer. &he sat down by the table and rested her head de Jectedly on one little gloved hand. Tne sight of Bennett hia grave, hopeless appeal to her the calm, .utter despair of his brave face—all these had affect ed her deeply. Perry noticed with brotherly concern her look and attitude. "Feeling faint?" he asked. A 4 "No, I'm all right, thanks." "You look pretty near as blue as Al wyn. He"— "Don't let's talk of him, please," she begged, v, "Why nop He's the whitest chap this side of Whlteville." "That's what I used to think, but 1 know better now." "Then, miss," broke in a voice from the doorway, "you're entitled to anoth er 'know.'" Phelan, Who, passing down the cor ridor, had beard her last words as he reached the threshold, turned into the room. "Excuse me for buttln' in on a fam ily chat." he remarked, coming forward, "but I'm pretty well posted on his honor's character, an' when I hear any one knockln' him it's me to the bat. What have you got against Mr. Ben nett? 'None of your measly business.' says you. 'Quite so.' says I, thut bein' the case, let's hear all about it." Something that underlay the seeming impertinence of the alderman's bluff speech touched Dallas. On impulse she spoke: "Mr. Bennett," said she, "Is opposing the Borough bill, knowing we shall be paupers if he defeats it. He also sold Borough stock short before he nn nounced his veto. What can one think of a man who enriches himself at the expense of Ills friends?" "Gee," cried Perry, "that's a terrible thing! Bennett's the original man higher up, I'm afraid. I wonder he Isn't afraid to wear the clothes of such a wicked geezer as himself!" "Oh. Perry! Don't Joke about It!" begged Dallas. "Can't you see the seri ous side of. anythingT We shall be penniless and dependent on"— "Fear thou not, sister mine!" de clared Perry In his best melodramatic manner. "Paupers, sayest thou? Far be it so! Little Brother Perry will guard thee from the cold, shivery swats of a wintry wind. Maybe we can sell violets or start a fight club or"— "Don't!" she urged. Jarred by his flip pancy. "You don't understand. I"— "As for that story of his honor's sell In* stock short and makln' a pile of cash on his own veto," put in Phehu genuinely worried.

St. Paul, June 1.—E. R. Jefferson ay Duluth has revised a stfieme for treat-! ing clams so each may prove a pearl* •bearer. He made a study of the pearl question as applied to bivalves and ascertained the scientific theory the origin of the pearl in shellfish. Then, he figured the cultivation of the gems was possibly a .practical venture. Mr. Jefferson actually has grown' some pearls, aTtho they are small. It! remains to be seen with lapse of time, if large ones cannot be cultivated. Several years ago Jefferson secured'! a number of claims, and, after inclos ing a space on a lake -shore, planted them in the water. Before doing so he bored a tiny hole in the shell and lodged a gTain of sand In each. As sr! result he succeeded In getting a num ber of small .pearls. He says he doesn't know how many years aire supposed t® elapse to grow good-sized pearls.

One old democrat answered, 'I am a democrat The old building at the corner of ^0me times in the fall, but never in the spring." This laconic statement pretty well explains the situation, for there is no doubt but thai, in most of the wards of the city democrats arc taking a more active interest in repub lican politics than they ever have be fore. Mayor Ingledue points to the evident democratic interest as indicative of a victory for him. He saki this after noon, "I've got Van Law skinned."

SEARCHING FOR RUNAWAY 80N. Detroit, Mich., Father Applies to Newspapers for Aid. After exhausting all other known means of finding his runaway son, Ed ward C. Greene, of 97 Fallister ave nue, Detroit, Mich., has applied to the T.-R. and many other newspapers for aid in locating his boy. Carlton H. Greene, now 18 years old, left home on Oct. 14, 1907, for the Central high school, and he has never been heard from since. Judging from the tone of the communication re ceived frqjn the father it is presumed that the boy was compelled to attend school against his will, which (paused him to run away. Since that time the father employed detectives to find the boy, has worked thru police de partments, the United States navy* steamship companies, and along vari ous other lines, without result Part of the communication follows: "We most earnestly appeal to you for aid in this, our deep distress, in giv ing our notice publicity that may bring the desired result. After break ing home ties without notice it is dif ficult for a boy of spirit to bring him self to the point of writing home be fore proving his ability to make some showing, and boys do not realize tho grief and sorrow caused by the sus pense of prolonged absence. We feel certain that if we can gain the atten tion of our son, and assure him of the cordial welcome and co-operation in his future plans awaiting him at home, and that he will not be urged to con tinue in school against his will, as he might suppose, that he would be will ing and anxious to return." The boy is described as being 18 years of age, height 5 feet, 9 inches, weight about 11S pounds, sandy hair, light complexion, blue eyes, slightly dimpled chin, and a slight muscular twitch of the eyes and face. He is of slender build, active, studious, of good habits, quiet and retiring in manner. The father offers a reward of $300 for any information regarding him.

Family Inclines Toward Latter Belief, Altho Realizing That of Late Mr. Bruce Had Been Despondent—Death Was Instantaneous Once Owned a Big Farm Near Albion. ,s 'Vr?- Gaylord Bruce, formerly a well known farmer of this county, and once owning what is now known as the Culver place, a 300-acre farm two miles west of Albion, is dead at Ell ston, Ringgold county, as the result of a gunshot wound. Whether the case is one of accidental death or suicide will never be known, and there are circumstances to support either theory. The dead man's family are naturally Inclined to support the theory of ac cidental death, yet at the same time they realize that Mr. Bruce had not been himself for some time, and that he had been despondent. His health was failing, as was also his sight, and he feared he was going blind. On the other hand, if he did shoot himself intentionally, he left no word of com fort of any kind as far as has yet been discovered, and made no prepar ations for the end, not even to the drawing of his will. Puta Charge of Shot in Abdomen. •Mr. Bruce got up early, did ..the milking before breakfast, and went to the back yard. His daughters heard what they supposed to be the sudden slamming of a door. Upon Investigat ing they found the prostrate body of their father lying at the foot of the steps, with a smoking shotgun be side him. He was already dead, the end having come instantly. The charge of shot tore away the abdomen. Had Been Shooting Rabbits. OT The family believes that Mr. Bruce had intended shooting a rabbit, and got the gun for the purpose. Rabbits had been bothering the young -fruit trees, and Mr. Bruce had previously killed several of them: He had a re volver In the house which, his children think, he would have used had he meant to kill himself.

Liv ing with him were his two" daughters, Carrie and Idella. One other daugh ter, Mrs. May Edmundson, resides at Hamburg, Fremont county, and a son, W. R. Bruce, lives at Glenwood.

C. B. Ingraham and A. L. Moser, of Laurel, Iowa, Have Re ceived Word From Their Attorneys, Orwig Lane, of Des Moines, Iowa, Notifying Them of Formal Allow ance of Patent. The invention comprises an improve ment In cement post fasteners. It Is a cement post having longitudinal re inforcing wires in it along one side of the post There is s- double wire twisted around itself and having a loop at its top and bottom, which loop encircles the longitudinal reinforcing wires of the post so that this twisted wire is embedded not only In the post, but It encircles the reinforcing wires and therefore Is firmly and Immov ably held to one side of the- post The longitudinal fence wires can be connected with this twisted wire very readily and easily by twisting a wire loop around the fence wire and the twisted wire on the side of the post. Obviously any number or quantity of fence wires may be attached to or detached from the twisted wire on the side of the post without in any way injuring it One of the great difficulties in con nection with the use of cement posts is that in attaching fence wires to them and the invention just described does away with all of the difficulty in this respect., TThe device is very cheap and inex pensive «in construction, and it is be lieved that the inventors Will realize a fortune from' the invention on the sale of rights to post manufacturers Jto use their improvement Cenkerville Block.

I' Rev. Merle N. Smith, pastor of the •Methodist Episcopal churdh of this city, has declined a formal call extended by the Maple avenue Methodist church of St. Louis, Mo., and so notified the of ficial body of the church by letter that reached St. Louis this morning. In a telegram to Bishop H. W. Warren, at the general conference at Baltimore,. Md., filed Monday .evening, Mr. Smith I also announced his decision on the St. Louis call. Three weeks ago a committee com posed of prominent members of the St Louis church visited Marshalltown without any one here knowing of Its mission. The.committee attended serv ices at the Methodist church in the morning, heard Mr. Smith preach, and in the afternoon called at his home. A week laiter another committee visited the city and went thru the same pro cedure. A week ago last Saturday a formal call from the St. Louis church was received by Mi*. Smith. In mailing to Judge Charles Holt camp, chairman of the official board of the St. Louis church, a letter declining the call, Mr. Smith stated that he felt that his work in Marshalltown was not yet done, and that he would prove of as much usefulness to the denomina tion here as In some other place. The St. Louis charge would have meant an Increase in salary over what the local church Is paying its pastor. Mr. Smith's decision will prove a welcome one to his church and congre gation here, as well as to his personal friends outside the church. Mr. Smith can rightfully be termed a popular pas tor, both In and out of his church. The Maple avenue church Is, of course, much larger than the church here, and is in a fine residence section of the city, about five miles out from the heart of the city. It is about two blocks distant from the Presbyterian church of which Rev. F. W. Russell, formerly of this city, Is now pastor. iihro BOOST MEMBERSHIP.

"Ames and G-rinnell both have strong teams, but their athletes who will be expected to land the necessary seconds and thirds, will not be fast enough for Saturday's contests. "Huff, the premier sprinter from Jowa College at Grinnell, will do things in his events, but lie is practically the only representative from this state who will be able to make much of a showing. Beard, the splendid Ames middle distance man, is ineligible for the conference, I understand, having run his allotted time at the end of last season. It" is too bad that he can not appear at Chicago Saturday, as his running would probably upset the dope. "A dark horse or perhaps one or more of them, will cause many sur prises. Missouri has some athletes who will win points. As to the report that Grinnell tliWtttening to cancel the game with Iowa rteXt fall in foot ball, I know nothing.

While demand was not very active, good stuff was itrong other grades were steady, but slow Good steers were especially wanted today and the moderate number of fered quickly changed hands. Shippers were eager buyers, but exporters hung back, feeling that prices had got a lit tle beyond their reach. Foreign mar kets lately have been a little soggy. All kinds of useful killing steers sell readily and even the light short-fed cattle iind an easy outlet, for buyers are not able to get enough of the other kinds. Hogs.

Revell, the Chicago merchant whose views as those of a representative American business man are worthy of attention, even if they do not receive universal approbation, has come to the conclusion a^ter a study of the tariff policies of several continental nations, that the United States must have re course to differential tariffs if Ameri can trade is to hold its own in the great commercial war among nations, the signs of which are beginning to show, according to Mr. Revell, on every hand. Mr. Revell said: "It is superfluous to repeat that the war of the future will be a commercial war. At the same time, judging from the apathy displayed in many direc tions for preparation, one would not think the gravity of the situation were generally appreciated. "Let me bring the question home at once and say that the United States does not seem to be fully prepared to hold its own in the fight for its just and reasonable proportion of the world's trade. In the first place, we have to bear in mind in preparing for a commercial war many of the same principles that nations observe in a war with men and guns. America Not Prepared. "We are bound to have enemies and we are bound to cultivate other nations as allies. Those nations that buy as little as possible from America when we 'can supply them as cheaply as other nations and that subject our manufac turers and exporters to unfavorable conditions, are, of course, our trade enemies. On the other hand, those na tions that buy liberally from us and give our merchants fair, equitable treatment, are our friends. "These same conditions are con fronted by neatly every other nation as well ad! our own but, unlike the policy of the United States at present, some other nations, including our most formidable rivals, have astutely made better plans for rewarding trade friendship and retaliating against unfair treatment. "Take, for instance, France and Ger many. Both these countries are at present a'ble to offer greater incentives for trade friendship's and correspond ingly more severe retaliations against their trade -foes than we. Flexibility and discrirtiination are the proper terms to describe their tariff policies, and these ideally strike the keynote in the changed conditions that will characterize success in the coming war. Wartts Board of Experts. "Our system lacks mobility. It is too unvvieldly. What we want is a board consisting of three or four of the most able trade experts of our country which will be able at a mo ment's notice to reward a friendly trade act at the hahds of another na tion or punish unfriendly trade a«ts is soon as they are' made. Thus, un ler such a plan, we would be able to apply remedies and preventives ac cording to the ever-changing condi tion^'that characterise the fluctuations of th6'balance of trade. Such a board should sit either in Washington, Chi cago or New York, and great care should be exercised in the selection of level-headed exiperts to constitute the board. "Oh my return to America I intend to submit the plan just given you to the National Business league, and there is no doubt in my mind but what alert business men will give it careful con sideration. Whatever objections may be raised to it—and I recognize that there are many—I can think of none better, and we assuredly need some plan of campaign if we are to hold our own in the coming struggle." PARIS ARTIST SLAIN IN HOME. Adolphe Steinheil and Mother-in-Law Victims of Stranglers. Paris, June 1.—The well known artist Adolphe Steinheil and his moth er-in-law, Mme. Jaty, were murdered at the artist's suburban residence at Vaugrand. Both were strangled. There Is no clew to the murderer. .'Money is missing and it is supposed the purpose of the murder was rob ibery. iSteinheil's wife tells a story of be ing gagged and bound by men and women who had been her husband's models. They were trying to suffocate her when she fainted, she said. She assumes they thought she was dead. iStelnheil was a member of the Le gion of Honor, an honor exhibiter at the Salon, and a friend of the late President Faure. He sold several pic tures Saturday. Aside from the brutality of the crime is the audacity with which it. was perpetrated. The artist's house is situated close to a large printing works where work is proceeding all night. A night watchman and a timekeeper are employed there a.nd an almost con stant stream of workmen are coming and going all the time. The discovery was made by Stein hell's manservant, who arose at a. to prepare breakfast. Hearing groans coming from M.me. Steinhell's sleeping apartment, he entered and found her lving bound hand and foot on the bed. A gag of cotton wool, which she had succeeded by super human efforts in ejecting from her mouth, lay on the floor. A thin cord was around her throat. A Misleading Statement (New York Commercial.) It Is inherently misleading to say that our general business prosperity "came with the prosperity of the rail roada"—as If the railroads had Created 190& their own prosperity first and had then invited the country at large to share in it, or had set a pace in prosperity making that the general business of the United States was quick to catch np with and follow. ANNULAR ECLIPSE IN JUNE. Will Occur on Sunday, Jure 28, and Will Prove to Be of Interest. The annular eclipsc of the sun will take place on June 2fi, and it will be visible in America as a par tial eclipse. A large portion of the face of the sun will be eclipsed, and it will probably be one of the most interesting n%tural phenomena of this kind which has taken place and which was visible in North America for some time. June 2S is on a Sunday, and the middle of the eclipse will take place just about the time that most good little boys and girls are in Sunday school. It will commence about 8:30 o'olook in the morning and end at albout 11:15. In part of Western Africa. Florida and Mexico it will be visible as an annular eclipse, only a small part of the sun's disk being visible in the form of a light circle around the moon. •If the weather proves favorable, and there are no clouds or but few of t.hem, the inhabitants of this sec tion of the world will have the op portunity of witnessing a fairly good eclipse of the sun. Three eclipses and one lunar np pulse are scheduled for 1908. The first, a total eclipse of the sun. oc curred Jan. 3, but it was visible in the extreme southwestern part ot North America only as a partial eclipse. The second Is *he eclipse which will take place on June 28. The lunar aippulse. or approach of the moon towards the shadow of the earth will occur Dec. 7, but is of no general interest excepting to astron omers and scientists. The last eclipse of the year Is another annular eclipse of the sun on Dec. 23. or two days before Christmas. This will be invisible here and will be seen only in the extreme southern hemisphere. Great Thoughts of the Ancients. "Plato." said Socrates, "you have ob served, I doubt not. that we have two ears and two eyes." "Now that you mention it," quoth Plato, "I have." "And .but one tongue." I "Quite so." "Herein nature doth teach us that we should hear and see twice as much as we talk. 'Is it not so?" "But, my master," objected Plato, "we have two nostrils and only one mouth. Must be therefore swell every thing twice before we eat once?"'* "Plato," irritably rejoined Socrates, "anybody can make a flippant comment that will knock the juice out of the wisest saying a philosopher can pull off. I wish you'd cut it out." On preparing the stuff for publication therefore. Plato prudently cut out his flippant comment. CATARRH NOW CURABLE But Never by Medicine Swallowed, Snuffs, Sprays or Douches. Catarrh is not a blood disease and that is why it cannot be cured by any medicine taken into the stomach. Ca tarrh is a germ trouble contracted from the germ-laden air you breathe in ward. These germs fasten themselves In the tissue and air cells of the breathing organs, multiply by millions, cause sneezing, coughing, raising of mucous, discharge from the nose, dif ficulty in breathing, hoarseness, dry ness and stoppage of the nose, tickling In the throat and other symptoms that can only be reached by the dry air principal of Hyomei. It medicates the air you breathe with the curative properties of the Austral ian Eucalyptus Forests -where catarrn is unknown. The reason you get relief in a minute or two from Hyomei is because it de stroys every catarrhal germ in the air you breathe, and Its dry penetrating aroma will reach the innermost recesses of the air passages, killing millions of germs a minute. Their destruction means freedom for oppressed respira tory organs. McBride Will sell Hy omei under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. Price, $1.00.
