Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, June 4.—While the pro gressive republicans have lost the state on'senator and governor, Tues day's primary is developing Into a ^greater victory than was anticipated last night. The progressives have gained three congressional nomina tions where they did no't have much hope of winning. Aside from Good in the Fifth district and Prouty's prob able success in the Seventh, the com plete returns show that Nate Kendall in the Sixth and Frank Woods, chair man of the state committee, of the big Tenth, have won by surprising major when their defeat had been pre viously conceded. Wood defeats Con gressman Conner for renomination by a majority toe tier than 2,000. With the selection of Good, Prouty, Kendall and Wood, the standpat delegation in congress will be placed in a minority. uenw Ities, KENDALL HAS 1,800 Defeats Rominger for Congressional Nomination in Sixth.

N E 1 3 4 iliiary Man Whom Zola Rescued From Living Tomb Shot in the Handt During Ceremonies in Front of Pantheon—Panic Follows Tragedy—1 Populace Thought President Shot. Paris, June 4.—At the, conclusion ot the ceremony this morning in con nection with the placing of the remains of M. Emile Zola in the Pantheon, a member of the staff of the Francs Militaire, who gave his name as Greg- ,i oris, fired two shots point blank at Ma jor Alfred Dreyfus, slightly wounding'vj the latter in the hand. The assailant was arrested. The incident occurred at the foot of the catafalque, directly front of the tribune, from which Minister of Publto Instruction Doumergue delivered a eulogy on Zola's matchless courage In arousing the conscience of the nation to the necessity of doing justice to Dreyfus. As President Fallieres and the presidential party, after shaking hands with Madame Zola and her two children, was moving out towards the portico to review the garrison of Paris, two sharp reports startled the vast .j assemblage. For an instant every one believed the president had been shot. Scene of Confusion Follows. A scene of indescribable confusion followed, and many of the women present shrieked and fainted. The crowd surged forwari, but quickly broke and scattered when members of the Republican Guard rushed up. The assailant of Dreyfus was struck down.

The man's cloth- ing was in shreds and his coat and vest had been literally torn from his body. Dreyfus was led away to the mayor's office opposite the Pantheon, whera his wound was dressed. The doctors found that the bullet entered his wrist. 'In the meantime a cordon had been formed about the assailant, who was conducted to a side entrance of the Pantheon. The news spread like wild ifire thru Paris and caused a veritable panic, as it was at first believed that Fallieres had been killed. The crowds around the Pantheon were driven back and all streets leading to the temple were barred. Twenty arrests were made. Zola Was Dreyfus Savior. Emile Zola, who died In September, 1902, was ten years ago twice con demned on one year's imprisonment tot addressing to Felix Faure, then presi dent of France, the famous letter "J. Accuse," In which he laid bare tho conspiracy In the general army staff against Major Dreyfus. Today his dust was interred with national honors In the Pantheon, the French temple of fame, with impressive ceremonies. Tha proposal to give Zola a glorious burial, made first in 1906, aroused In Franca all the dormant animosities that eame out during the Dreyfus trials, and tha transfer of his ashes, altho duly voted by the chamber and senate, had to ha twice postponed because of the stats of' public opinion. Disorders and rioting were expected today and the authorities found It ex pedient to take measures for the pres ervation of peace. The opposition to removing the remains of Zola to ths Pantheon arises from the fact that hs Is thus honored because of his famous letter, not because of his literary fam* He was the first successful leader In the Dreyfus war he vanquished tha general staff of the army, and t» givs him a glorious burial in the national Pantheon at the side of Berthlot, Car* .not, Hugo, Voltaire and Rouseea, t# the accompaniment of martial 8msl6» while a long line of soldiers defiled be fore his tomb, aroused the passions 0* a large number of French people.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA. Itehlng, Burning 8kin Diuat* Routed Without Um of Injurious Drugs. Great inventors often have been plralsed for surrendering the secrets of (heir discoveries. Practically the same thlngr happened in the medical world In the case of Dr.. Decatur D. Dennis the eminent skin specialist of Chicago £r. Dennis, In his own office practice, discovered that pure vegetable oil of Jtotefgreen, property mixed with other simple remedies, was practically a sure specific for Eczema, psoriasis, barber's ttoh, salt rheum, and other itching skin diseases. But the oil of wintergreen alone was found ineffective. It re quired-other mild ingredients such as glycerine and thymol compounded with tte wintergreen, to produce the real eczema, cure. This compounded D. D. D. Prescrlp tlon positively takes away the itch at once—the instant it is applied to the skin. This vegetable liquid does away with the deleterious drugs so long used in an attempt to doctor the blood, I whereas modern science has determ ined that eczema is first and all the time a pkin disease.

Lerdall recorder—Mrs. D. Trimble, and supervisor—H. A. Jehu. The interest in the primary was in tense, but not exciting in any way. The vote in the county was up to the av erage, altho there was a downpour of rain all day. F. P. Wood's election to congress from this district is hailed with delight, and his splendid majority was a surprise to his friends, altho they were confident of his success from the first. The latest returns show he carried twelve of the fourteen coun ties in the district and will have a majority of 2,500. ________ K} FRANKLIN COUNTY VOTE LARGE. Returns Very Slow in Getting in From County Precincts Special to Times-Republican. Hampton, June *.—The reiturns from the primary election of Tuesday were very slow in getting in from the "coun try precincts, and some of the county were not completed until 6 o'clock yes-f terday morning. The weather w^S rainy and disagreeable for farm work, ard this probably accounted in a meas ure for the large vote that was out. Cummins carried the county safely, by fully 150 votes. Pickett for con gressman, wins over Sweet by 260. N. W. Beebe, who is understood to be identified with the progressive element of the republican party, has been chosen by a majority of about 65 over his opponent, David Muir. E. H. Mallory leads over Myers for 'treasurer. W. T. Webb is nominated for clerk. For county attorney, S. A. Clark is ahead of his opponent, J. M. Hemingway by some 400 Iverson is selected for superintendent by about 930, Henderson second,-and McCllntosh third. Thrarsil, of Sheffield. Is proba.bly nominated for supervisor in the Sec ond district, but the figures are very close." For state senator of the Forty thlfd- district, John Hommtll of Han cock county received nearly the entire vute." The main contest here was on sen ator and representative, and in the final round-up, adherents for both of them claim- a win otit. Considerable interest was also manifest in the se lection of county attorney, and the nomination of Sherwood A. Clark may be safely counted as a victory for the standpat faction. John M. Hemingway was his opponent. RETURNS FROM POCAHONTA8. Cummins Carried County, But Vote Much Below Normal. fpecial to Times-Republican. Pocahontas, June 4.—Cummins car ried this county by 575, and 1,300 votes were all the republican party mustered, where 1,900 is a normal vote.

Result of Primary Contest on Senatorship Proves an Old, Old Saying OLD FIGHT WILL CONTINUE Progressive Element 'Will Rally Again if Leader Comes Forth It May Be Cummins, It May Be Another Workers Propose to Continue the Fight. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, June 4.—Regardless of the defeat of Governor Cummins at the primary polls of Tuesday the vote is evidence unmistakable of the potency of fabrication and misrepre sentation in politics. People sometimes say, probably because they w.ish to have it so, that a lie stuck to, is as good as the truth. The campaign that closed with the primary election on Tuesday is a positive proof of that assertion and reluctantly it must be admitted. Never was there a campaign in Iowa in which there were as many pure fabrications stated with the unblush ing positiveness of truth as in the campaign just ended. Fabrications on the most Insidious and misleading kind have been hatched every day by an element of the newspaper fraternity In Iowa, coaxed on and persuaded by the corporations. The results of the primary elecUon of Tuesday mean that the people of Iovya must fight. Otherwise they extend with open arms an Invitation for the return of the old corporation days of disreputable caucuses and purchased conventions of influence by means of the railroad pass and of journeys to Burlington by candidates to get the O. K. of J. W. Blythe, gen eral counsel of the Burlington rail road. With the return of those days the campaigns will be to determine whether the Rock Island or the Bur lington shall control the executive council of Iowa that fixes the railroad assessments. There are many lessons in the re sults of the primary election of Tues day for the people of Iowa. One of these is that the people must realize now that if Cummins defeat should re tire him to private life, as the corpora tions and the corrupt influences in pol itics have bragged that he would be, it will be many a day before another leader rises up to fight as he has fought. If the people stand by their servants they may look with con fidence to see their servants fight their battles with no other reward than Bmall salaries and approval. But un less the people can get out to the polls and do better than they did on June 2, 1908. they can ex ?ect to look forward with little hope for any re form in the do-nothing policy of cong ress and can expect in the future as in the past to see the rate law amended and needed bills passed only after long years of costly agitation and the exertion of the utmost pres sure on their members of congress. The time has come in the political affairs of Iowa for the people to learn to ddscern the truth and the time has arrived to call a spade a spade. A certain element of the standpat press led by the Des Moines Daily Capital, the Cedar Rapids Republican, the Creston Gazette, the Burlington Hawk eye, and the Iowa City Republican, have become addicted to using as their stock campaign argument the word "liar," and they are the first to deal out to their readers the insidious po litical fabrications for the corporations. •They are the loudest in calling Cum mins, who lias never voted anything tout the republican ticket, a democrat, and then altho a majority of the re publicans of the state nominate him for a political office, vote the demo cratic ticket themselves. It is they who have been most persistent Jn cry ing out about democrats voting for Cummins at the primaries and then sent out" circulars to every democratic voter asking him to vote for Allison. Never have the people of any state had a (better champion than Governor Cummins nor one who with greater unselfishness .has devoted himself to the cause of the people when not a day has passed but he could have had five times the salary he receives from the state by devoting bis attention and time to private affairs. The people of Iowa have been too prone to look lightly upon the .political discussions of Iowa as being as bad on one side as on the other. Rather than exert themselves to ascertain the truth of the claims in the political con tests that have been waged the voter has considered it much easier to as cribe evil motives to all sides and let it go at that, and the people will have only themselves to blame if this atti tude results in placing their affairs in the hands of poor managers. But the fight for clean politics in Iowa will not end with the campaign of this year, and there Is not a progres sive leader In the state but proposes to continue the fight. The Dumont News.

That is not true of other diges ters, for they rely largely on pep sin. Pepsin digests albumen perfect ly, but that is all it can do. Starch, fats and phosphates form most of your food. Ptpsin can't digest those. And it can't do bowel digestion. tYet half of digestion is done by the bowel fluids. It requires many ingredients to make a perfect digtster, and Kodol contains them all. It digests any food—any mixture of foods—completely. It does all that the stomach does—all that the bowels do. You can see it do this in a test tube, under proper conditions.

TF RVG Gregory Gray, Aged Recluse, Wills Estate to Family Who Befriended Him LEFT ESTATE WORTH $30,000 Estate Includes 240-Acro Farm in Blackhawk County and Two Lots in Waterloo Gray Lived Life of Her mit and Was Called a Miser Died Alone in Small Hut. Special to Times-Republican. Waterloo, Juhe 4.—Gregory Gray, the eocentrlc and peculiar old man who has lived in Spring Creek township, near Laporte for no one knows how long, is no more. His life ebbed away while he was sheltered within the little hut that had toeen his home for the last half century, where he had lived entirely alone, caring for no one and nobody caring for him. The end was not entirely unexpected for Mr. Gray, who was in his 80th year, was afflicted with heart trouble and had been ailing for some time. •He has been under the car", of phy sicians and when he was vi^ .tod Tues .day he was found very low. Dr. C. -M. Nesblt, of Waterloo, was called in consultation, but the man's condition was such that little could be done to alleviate his sufferings. Made Poor Family Wealthy. The patient was advised he had lit tle time on earth and was asked if he had any communication to leave whereupon he replied he had no rela tives and knew of no friends with the possible exception of one family. It was ascertained that he had made no will or written disposition of his W0 acre farm and other property, various ly estimated to be worth between (30,000 and $50,000. It was explained that if he left no such document, the property would revert to the state, and upon suggestion from Dr. Nesblt a will was drawn which the old man signed. All his possessions, it is said, will pass into the hands of a poor family who had been of service to him in the"fast, and ten minutes after affixing his name his spirit took flight. Led Lonely Life. Gregory Gray was a peculiar char acter. He shunned society, sought friendship In none, and preferred the companionship of his stock to that of neighbors. His odd traits soon taught the people residing In the vicin ity to keep away from his little hut and he was permitted to remain in seclusion. (Some called Gray a miser as well as a) hermit. He added to his farm until he had acquired 240 acres of the best land In Spring Creek town ship, and had it stocked with cattle, horses and other domestic animals. Tn his old age, however, he found it Impossible to give attention to his premises and the horses and cattle became wild like those on ranches before the roundup. It is Impossible to determine just what Gray was worth. at the time of his death, but in addition to his farm he owned two valuable lots in Water loo on lower iiaFayette street, and it is believed a search of the house will reveal considerable currency. All this would have reverted to the state had he not acted upon the suggestion of the attending physician and willed the property to a poor but deserving family. PASTOR PREVENTS HANGING. Rev.

He seldom uses the Bible in the pulpit and has been known to quote from memory, thirty or forty passages in a single sermon, every da"y for weeks, and to explain their meanings. Bishop Hutchison has spoken before nearly every Dunker congregation in the world. Once he was speaking in a house which had not been used for some time. As he arose to preach he discovered, a swarm of bumble bees coming out of a desk, one at a time. He seized a book and as the bees came out he killed them one by one. Then he proceeded with the sermon as if nothing had happened. Prof. J. G. Royer, who arrived, is one of the best Informed men at the con ference. He was formerly president of Mt.

As could easily be suspected from the drift of the returns yesterday Governor Cummins has been defeated for thu ''United States senate by anywhere from 7,000 to 10,000, which, while a close margin in a total of nearly 200,000 re publican votes cast, is a defeat as ef fective for the purposes of reaction as tho it were larger. It is a severe blow to the cause of reform and progres slveness in our American politics and a most ungrateful return for an ad ministration which has never had an equal in Iowa by that of any other .governor for its hlglf ideals of states manship, its irreproachable integrity and its actual accomplishments. Sena tor Allison, if he lives until next Jan uary. will receive the unanimous vote of the republican members of the leg islature, and he will be elected to an other term in the senate to begin with the session ofthe fall of 1909. Under •11 human probability he will not live tb take his seat or if he does he will k*j giot serve much of his term. The net Hi rjbsult of the primary has therefore been merely a defeat for Cummins Without doing rrtuch for a continuation Senator Allison's service. When the time comes it will be discovered that Mr. Carroll has entered into a written agreement never to appoint Cummins. This is the price of the antl-Oummlns support given to him, and makes sure that some kind of a reactionary will succeed Allison. But disappointed as all men are who I believe that progressive policies have meant the overthrow of the special in terests from control of our legislation and administration, there is yet great question whether the result can b» read as a total reaction. It is now known that Good has defeated Trewin for a congressional nomination and Good is no reactionist It looks as tho Frank Wood had defeated Conner in the tenth district and Wood has been a leader among progressives. If Prouty iaf» keep Hull from counting him out trfe progressive caus^will have put in office a leader with the strength of an other ,-Qjimmins, ai^l if Nate Kendall ever gets to congress there will be one 4 Jess reactionist. Today's returns'silll P8r the sue. cess of these men and if it is true that four progressives. are to join Hubbard and Haugen on Iowa's congressional delegation, there' fe not so much occa sion for weeping over reaction. There vill not be so many U. S. marshals, attorneys, collectors, judges, and post master-editors fighting the progres sive movement as there has been,in Iowa. It Is true that the defeat of their leader when he had done so much to merit the approval of his people will disorganize the forces of progressive ness, but the thing that beat him was not reaction. It was his enemies. There were too many daily newspapers determined to destroy him. Beginning with Mr. Blythe's newspaper in Bur lington, which leads the discussion of its congressional district and passing VP the river to Davenport, where Is found the Times of the Iee Syndicate 'of newspapers, in which powerful poli ticians are interested, digression tb Ot tumwa and Muscatine where this syn dicate owns newspapers, then to Du buque where the republican daily- has always been Mr. Allison's, personal or gan and Dubuque's postmaster then to Cedar Rapids where the republican dally/once had a U. S. attorney, the Cedar Rapids postoffice- and a loan from Sludge Hubbard's bank, all in the family then across to Des Moines where the Capital, with its boasted 40,000 circulation, once supported Cum tnins but afterwards preferred to serve the American Protective Tariff League, then to Sioux City, where the editor of a great paper once supported Cummins but was won over by Mr. Blythe in a promise to deliver the anti-Cummins vote in Iowa to him for a nomination •then down to Council Bluffs, where the only daily newspaper which once sup ported Cummins was won over by Mr. Blythe when lie made Ernest Hart na tional committeeman from Iowa and the cause of Cummins' defeat is lo cated. Here are the leading or leading re publican dailies in seven out of eleven congressional districts and in all of tho large cities of the state, enlisted in the flfeht to destroy Cummins. For years they have been engaged in a campaign »Of personal abuse and misrepresenta tion of'Governor Cummins, which no man,on parth could have survived. The Wonder is that he has been able to Withstand their attack so long. Thu only two large, republican dailies If which have stood by him have been the Regeslter and Ltiader and the rimes-Ropublican, newspapers owned and edited by men to whom public of fice has proved no temptation and upon whom federal patronage has placed no obligations. The county press wherever not influenced by postoffices has been largely for him, but the dailies of the small cities have been about evenly divided according as they are conduoted by newspaper men or by politicians .to whom newspapering is only a means to an end. Study the returns and the home counties of these big dailies alone have more than defeated Governor Cum mins. Study them again and the men who failed to vote In the distinctly rural counties north of the C. N. W. Ry. were more than enough to defeat him. Study them again and it will ap pear that almost every man who voted against Cummins also voted against Garst because he believed that Allison would not live out his term and he wanted to make sure that the next governor would not appoint Cummins. Abuse, misrepresentation and calumny by the .newspapers controlled by the federal machine has defeated Cum mins, but they have failed to save their reactionary candidates for congress. There is yet hope in Iowa for the pro gressive cause. The legislature was quickly divorced from the Interests the moment railway passes were abolished. What we need is a law prohibiting a newspaper owner, editor or stockhold er from holding public office of any kind whatsoever. WHERE FAKERS WAX FAT. Pittsburg news continues to furnish its topics for the men who try to re flect thoughts of the people in the edi« torial columns. The Smoky City ha? been unusually generous in this respect the last few years and has furnished to the country a great deal of subject matter of an unsavory kind which has caused much comment, largely of a sort net calculated to create a whole some respect for the city. But a large percentage, or at least a considerable percentage, of these stories are exaggerated. Those which have come thru the Associated Press have been sifted down to the truth In the way that none but such a large and efficient organization for the spread of intelligence could do. But the Associated Press and similar news organizations cannot prevent the en largements and wierd word weavlngs practised by special correspondents, or "string friends," as they are some times called from their over-anxiety to fhake the "string," or total of their matter, remunerative. Such special correspondents in their eagerness to make a story fill more space and gain for Itself lurid head lines go to lengths that are little short of criminal In tone. T.hey will ring in alleged facts to connect with the real ones or introduce the names of prom inent people, at other times fictitious people, to lend interest to the story, and usualjy to an extent that will merely arouse the ire of any real per son so misrepresented without leading to legal action for balm for wounded feelings and mental anguish, as our legal friends term it. Pittsburg is a severe sufferer from the "string fiend," and the pernicious, so-called "news" bureau, which en gages In counterfeiting stories of hum an interest The truth in the Smoky City is no doubt bad enough without having It distorted and magnified, and it seems almost startling that some of the large daily papers of the largest cities are continually bitten by the' poisonous fang of the sender of the ubiquitous fake. While the blame no doubt rests largely with the papers that patronize such correspondents, provided, of course, they know of the deceptive practices, it seems as tho the Pittsburgers themselves would by this time have their ire aroused to such a pitch over the notoriety their city has achieved, largely thru dishonest scribes, that they would weed out the offenders, root and branch. Topics ofthe Times Elinor Glyn, the person who wrote "Tlirep Weeks," says a French .v-vn-i-i v.fll star in the dramatized version. Only the French would be bold enough to take to the stage In this one. How must it feel to reach Piatt's age and have one's son, himself gray haired, in court to get the father free from the tentacles of an entanglement with a woman? A Chkragoan named Skiff will be connected with Uncle Sam's exhibit at Tokio, but he will go over In a larger vessel. j. A railroad engineer has just died at a Columbus convention of heart trou ble. Probably It was valvular disease. A Brooklyn girl whose hair was pulled out by a cash carrier objects to a wig, so small patches of scalp from 100 department store girls will furnish her with new locks. If all colors are accepted the result will bp awaited with impatience. Threats are made that the Third ward of Chicago will be cleaned up. The burg is so dirty that only one ward at a time i-s undertaken. W An insane wifebeator In a nearby town died after castigating his better half. Why can't the sane ones fol low the same prescription? We suppose there was no extra charge to the nation on that 18-hour speech by LaFollette. He's about as speedy as that fast New York-Chicago train. With her "new" postoffice recently finlshfd, Chicago wants another and larger one, Chicago Is the mail order metropolis of the world, which indus try contributes a large quota of the mail business transacted in her post office. Edison insists that he has proved by experiments that sleep is only a. habit and not a necessity. If men will do without It they will have more time to assemble the necessities. Luther Burlbank Is busy with what promises to be his best graft. He has cultivated a thornless cactus which he proposes to make Into a fruit larger and more delicious than oranges, peaches, apples Or pears. Too bad thereVare not more such grafters. Usually the democrats give no re bates, as the spoils are too scarce among that cult. But Bryan says ho will give back to Thomas F. Ryan that capitalist's gift to the Nebraska cam paign fund. ---'V- Edwin A. Abbey, the painter, will come from London to hang his pictures in the Pennsylvania capitol. Wonder If he can paint a picture that would adequately represent the enormous graft worked In connection with the building of that structure? It looks as tho Hon. J. Pluvlus had misplaced the bung. Elbert Hubbard says he was near ing the end of a lecture before 1,000 attentive inmates of a state insane asylum, when an old woman c^i'ne screaming down the aisle: ".My Gcd! I can't stand this non sense any ionger." "That." said the superintendent to Mr. Hubbard, "is the first sign shi has sli nvn of reurning lnsanlty."--^Su-cess Magazine. IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES The editor of the New Hampton Courier says that "people say about 4 o'clock in the morning the birds .give a grand concert which is sub ilime," but that he has not atended many of them, "owing to other press ing engagements at that hbur." "Talk about Iowa towns not being says the Oskaloosa Her ald, "While ton and linen showers to brides-to-be are commoji in the cities ./the Keosauqua Republican tells of a Jprosperous," :'cut glass shower to a brid_!-elect of jjthat place." -J? Says the Centerville Citizen: "Don't .get discouraged, The time will come (when you will be just as ardently pray ing for more rain as you are now pray ing for less." iHere's what the Keokuk Gate City says: "It is said that Iowa young women teachers are .marrying so fast that school boards are kept awake until after midnight to fill vacancies. The arrangement may entail more or less hardship on the boards, but it •undeniably reflects credit upon the judgment of Iowa young men." The editor of the Washington Dem ocrat finds cause for glee In reading names of petit jurors in the Ft. Madi son 'Democrat, and comments: "Wouldn't that bunch make you or der up a keg of budweiser? If that crowd can't sing 'Die Waeht am Rheln' then there Is nothing in a name." The Davenport Democrat says: "The first perforated postage stamps have made their appearance. They are not intended for summer use. In fact the design Is quite different. It is intend ed primarily as a means of tracing stolen stamps. The perfora.ted article has been in use in some foreign coun tries for a number of years." Taft will probably give a broad smile if he reads this from the Burlington Gazette: "An itemized statement of Brother Charles' expenditures to fur ther Brother Bill's campaign for the republican presidential nomination would make interesting reading." "It is said of Governor Johnson of Minnesota, that he is a good swimmer, and that he recently entertained vis itors at Old Point Comfort by male I'ng a sensational summersault divej from a spring board," observes the' (Council Bluffs Nonpareil. "But Judge Parker four years ago was advertised! as an expert in aquatic sports, and It will be recalled what the democrats of the country did to him." Beats All the "Best Sellers."7 (From the Baltimore Sun.) Last year the American Bible So ciety distributed 1,800,000 copies of Bi bles. Testaments and Scripture por tions. The British Bible Society also Is very active in distributing the Scriptures, and the two organizations send the "Good Boofc" to every part, of the world. The Bible has been trans lated into about one hundred different languages, and the American and Brit ish societies thus provide 1'or all races. It is stated that Mrs. Russell Sago has offered to contribute $500,000 toward the permanent endowment fund of- the American society. When it Is consid ered that millions of copies of the Bi ble, or parts of it, are printed yearly for distribution from one end of the world to the other, it seems to be clear that religion is not losing ground. I: is said that rationalism is spreading In continental Europe, and even in the United States there are those who pro fess to see a decline in religious faith. Yet the Bible is printed and circulated as never before. The "best sellers" in fiction are thought to achieve marvel ous success if the sales reach a few hundred thousands. The Bible, or por tions of it, goes out by millions every year to the uttermost parts of the earth. It is incomparably the greatest of all books from all points of view. High Aims. (Answers) "Miss Popinjay," he cried. Bhe froze. "Arabella." he whispered. .She melted. He kissed her hand. •She withdrew It hastily, and gazed reproachfully upon him. (He raised his eyebrows.

Happy is the suburbanite who has his door and window screens all up and has nothing to do now but mow his lawn two or three times a week, put a fresh coat of paint on his dwelling, have his furnace overhauled for next winter, keep the neighbors' chickens out of his garden, mend the leaks in his roof, and repair his ailing door bell now and then. MR. BRYAN'S LEAD. (Davenport Times) Mr. Bryan has a comfortable lead in the number of delegates instructed for him among those so far selected. He has 400 delegates Johnson 24, and Gray 6. The 212 other delegates that have been selected are uninstruoted, which means that they will be mostly against the Nebraskan. But there are 366 delegates yet to be chosen, and most of them will come from what is admittedly Bryan territory. Conse quently it is believed that Mr. Bryan will have no difficulty in getting the necessary 672 delegates the two thirds required for the nomination. MONEY IN FlLiANTTNG TREES. (Burlington Hawkeye) A fine white oak tree which was cut down near Exlra recently, yielded 260 fine fence posts and 12 cords of stove wood. The total value must have been considerably beyond $100. At Burling ton prices, the cord wood alone would have been worth $72. There is room on every farm for a few trees, there Is scarcely a building lot anywhere in a town that has not room for a tree or two. And there are many waste places everywhere that will grow little of anything else, but that would grow trees. It may be slow work, but it is just like putting money Into the sav ings banks, to plant trees in Iowa, or for that matter anywhere else in this country. And no doubt the man who plants trees this year will be able to realize on his crop much sooner .than he anticipates and it will yield him a much greater profit than appears likely to him at the present time. WANTED—DEMOCRATIC ORGAN. (Waterloo Courier). One of the most peculiar facts in the realm of actual Knowledge Is the lack of a real democratic newspaper in the city of Chicago. Since the passing of the Chronicle, the Hearst publications are the only qnes aside from the In dependent and republican organs that are of any prominence. And yet Chicago is normally a democratic city and not very long ago Illinois had a democratic United States senator, gov ernor, and gave its electoral votes to a democratic presidential candidate. Can Mr. Bryan's idea,s and leadership have had anything to do with regard to the cause of this situation? It will also be recalled that when his star was first seen, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and per haps some other states had more dem pcratlc senatorial strength than they now have. Indeed is it not time for democrats to take an inventory of what they have lost, and endeavor to ascertain tho reason? 1 7 The "Old Man's" Day. (Baltimore iSun) IWe believe the time has come when the "old man" who has slaved from young manhood to the lean and slip pered pantaloon stage, ought to .be awarded his due need of praise. He has effaced himself too long, doing his duty as a matter of course and spurn ing commendation therefor. It is time to force him into the limelight and exhibit him in all his excellence. We do not think there ought to be a "fa ther's day," any more than a "moth er's day," But we feel deep down in our hearts that mother and the chil dren ought to be good to the "old man" every day in the year. .He spends his life in their service. The least re turn they can make is to recognize that father, with all his frailities and limitations is a useful factor in civil ization and In the domestic economy. We revere the mothers of the nation. We insist that the .virtues of the fath ers shall receive due recognition. They may eat onions, they may wear jslain clothes, they may not know that more than one,fork is desirable for a din ner course, but they are the salt of tho earth. We lift our voices in behalf of this downtrodden c.reatnre. London Woman Timekeeper. Miss Bellville, the official timekeep er of London, is said to earn $2:500 a year .by peddling the time of d'iy once a week. The post of timekeeper has been in her family since 1833. In that year her father, who was assistant to the astronomer royal, hit upon the idea of taking the time around to the prin cipal watchmakers and correcting their chronometers. At his death his widow obtained the privilege of hav ing her chronometer corrected at the Greenwich observatory whenever she liked. She peddled time until ISpj, when at the age of 82 she retired and her daughter stepped into her shoes. Every Monday morning Miss Bellville goes to the royal observatory at 3^4 —Macauiey in New York World. Greenwich and gets from the keeper an official document stating that her chronometer differs from the mean time by so many seconds and tenths of seconds. This favor is granted to no other person in England. Armed with this official paper, Miss Bell ville visits her official customcis about forty in number and corrects their time in accordance with tne of ficial chronometer. From her forty customers the rest of London gets Its time. Hadn't Lost Anything. Patterson was walking along C-^—— street the other day when he picked up a bit of pink paper in the gut ter. His heart leaped when he saw it was a certified check fori $30,000. Hunting a telephone he called up the makers of the check, a well known brokerage firm. "Hello," he said, thru the metallic circuit. "Have you lost anything?" "Who is this talking?" demanded a fresh, hurried voice. "That doesn't matter. Have you lost anything? I say." "None of your business," came the reply, hot off the gridle. "Oh, all right, ring off." But when he thought it over Patter son decided to drop in on the firm and rub it in a little. When he got in side, he took in the situation at a glance. The head of the house and all the little heads had suddenly awakened to the fact that they had lost something—and that something w^s $30,000. The president was walk ing up and down the room, wringing his hands and the cashier looked to outward appearances like a corset that has suddenly had all its stays pulled out. "I just thought I would come up and see if by this time you thought it was any of my business wheth er you had lost anything or not," be gan Patterson. The head of the house and all the little heads made one general move ment in his direction. They all told him in a breath what they had lost and there was assurance in their ac cent. They had lost something with a big "L." They offered Patterson $20, but he took one look at the cashier and re fused the reward. "I don't want the cashier to lose $20. I'll smoke on the house, tho, if yau don't mind," he said. "Here, buy a box," cried the presi dent, throwing out a $5 bill. "I'll stand it myself." And Patterson did. Called Down. The middle-aged citizen standing In a crowded car glowered every time a Merry Widow hat sawed him, says the New York Times. "I tell you," he grumbled to a fellow passenger, "it isn't right. It's an im position." Just then the serrated edge of a lid of more than ordinary enormous width rasped his Adam's apple. "Confound it!" he exclaimed to the wearer, whose back was toward him. "If you were my daughter I'd throw that pestiferous cartwheel thru the window." The girl under the hat seemed amused. "Throw ahead if you want to, dad," she said, "but you'll have to pay for another, and goodness knows you made fuss enough over the bill for this one." As they left the car he was heard to say something in a suggestive way about not telling mother. Mainly Meant for Women. (Philadelphia Record.) Eli Smith, who on a wager crossed the continent in a wagon drawn by Eskimo flogs, said the other day in Philadelphia: "The secret of good traveling Is to travel light. Don't accumulate a lot of rubbish. On the contrary, sort over your goods every day, and throw away the surplus. "This is the spring house-cleaning season, and I'd like to throw out all that junk in the closet at the head of the cellar stairs. What good is the old stuff? It has been there for years. It is plastered thick with cobwebs and mold. "I once saw my uncle help his wife clean house. Every closet they came to you'd hear some such dialog as this: "Uncle holds up a rusty tea kettle. 'You don't want this?' '"Well, it might come in handy for a flower or something.' aunt falters. "Into Ihe ash barrel it goes, and un cle holds up a pair of old shoes. 'Why, these old shoes must have been lying here five years! What have you been saving them for?' "'Well,' says aunt, 'if we ever want ed to make a pair of hinges "'I remember a pair of leather hinges I once 'made,' says uncle bitter ly and into the barrel fall the shoes on top of the kettle. "Then he holds up a hat. 'Here's this old hat of mine I .wore to the Phila delphia Centennial. Better throw it away, hadn't we?' 'Well, maybe so,' says aunt. 'T've often thought of giving It to some poor man, but forget it every time a tramp calls. I gave It to one tramp, and he went off and left it on tne front gate Big Crops Follow Sugar Beets. (Wallace's Farrr.er.) The promoters of the jgar beet in dustry in the corn growing section as sure us that large crops of grain al ways follow a crop of suKar beets, and thus leave the impression on the minds of many farmers that the sugar beet, like, the clover plant, adds to the fer tility of the soil. While the fact of increased produc tion Is as stated, the conclusion is en tirely erroneous. The sugar beet is really an exhaustivo crop not the sugar part of it, for 'that like the carbo hydrates and fat of corn, is drawn entirely from the air but the plant Itself apart from its sugar content Is a soil exhauster, as shown by the fact that on most soils it must be grown in rotation with other crops. Why then does sugar beet land al ways grow splendid crops the year following? Simpiy because in order to grow sugar beets successfully you must give it garden culture. It is the improvement of the physical condition by deep plowing, thorough disking, frequent cultivation and what Is al most equivalent to a second plowing, the lifting of the beets, that enables crops following to grow beyond the farmer's expectation. If the land is given the same thorough cultivation with .any other crop, the results will be similar but not Identical. For there are crops that are soil exhausters to a greater extent than sugar beets oats, for instance. The lesson to be learned from this is simply the Importance of thorough cultivation of the soli before planting any crop, If you are to receive profit from that year's cultivation. Effect of Cow's Health on Milk Some English scientists have been experimenting for many years on dairy cows, and have discovered that when a cow is in full milk and full flesh she will give her normal quantity of milk for at least a limited time, even though the quantity is very deficient. When In a good condition the cow will take off her body whatever is de ficient in food. In order to make her normal quantity of mi'ik. An extra supply of nutritious food at all times increases the quantity of milk, but the percentage of fat is not in any way improved by it if any thing, the tendency is i:he other way. An extra supply of nutritious food almost always Invariably increases slightly the solids, not the fat of the milk. A ration poor in food ingredients has a very slight tendency to reduce the solids, not the fat in milk, and has little appreciable effect on the fat. With a poor ration a cow in full weight will lose carcass weight, while on rich diet she will gain weight. Altho the percentage of fat in a cow's milk may vary daily, we at present seem unable to control these variations or to account for them. For limited periods, up to one month or thereabouts, all ordinary quantities and qualities of food seem to have no material effect on the quality of the milk. Some foods exercise a material effect in raising the melting point of but ter. The aim of all producers of milk, butter, or cheese should be to feed what will give quantity, and of a mixed nature, and the product will be the best that the cow can give. Extra quality must be looked for by improving the breed and by judicious selection, rather than by any special foods or any methods of feeding. The variation in the percentage of fat in a cow's milk is caused by some thing, but what that something is we at present do not knaw.

The field for roots should be tilled several times before planting, to start and destroy the weeds. This is done cheaply with a harrow. Use' plenty of pounds per acre is about right for stock beets and one-third as much for carrots. Thin with a weeder or the hoe. When the plants are well estab lished chop the rows Into tiny tussocks which shall leave a space of four to eight inches between them. These can be easily thinned zo a single plant. Mangel wurtzels should be thinned to eight inches, rutabagas to six inches and carrots to four inches in the rows. The mastodon carrot Is quite as pro ductive -as stock beets and more pal atable for the animals. Rutabagas are regarded by feeders the most desirable root crop. Store in the barn where they will be close to the feeding floors. Plant root crops in variety this spring, and learn their feeding value. Fertilizers and Fruit Color. The opinion is sometimes advanced in popular articles on the subject of apple culture that the use of such fertilizers as potash and phosphoric acid will improve the color of the fruit. In cases where these particular elements are seriously lacking in the soil, it seems reasonable to believe that their addition in some available form will promote a better all-around development of the fruit, color in cluded, since both of these elements are known to be important constituents of the apple. On the other hand, scientific knowledge with regard to the real value of potash or phosphoric acid, or any other fertilizer, in im proving the color of fruit appears to be too limited to warrant the apple grower in resorting to commercial fer tilizer as a specific treatment for that purpose. In this connection experiments con ducted at 'the Nev,f York state station by S. A. Beach, and recently reported by U. P. Hedrlck, are of special in terest. These experiments were begun in 1893 on an orchard of 43-year-old apples on sloping upland, with a med ium heavy clay soil. They were com pleted in 1904. Thraout the experiments the or chard was given clean cultivation until about August 1 3.nd was then seeded to a cover crop of oats, barley, or clo ver. There were ninety-four trees in the test, representing the fol lowing varieties: Baldwin, I^all Pip­ Strawpile pin, Rhode Island Greening, Roxbury, and Northern Spy. The orchard was divided .into eight plats, four treated and four untreated. Woot. ashes weie applied to the treated plats at the rate ot 100 pounds per tree, or 4,800 pounds per acre. During the last seven years of the experiment acid phosphate was applied at the rate of 8V£- pounds per tree, or 408 pounds per acre. Calcula tions made from analyses of the fer tilizers show that on the average 169 pounds per acre of actual potash were applied each year, 72 pounds of phos phoric acid irom the ashes and 57 •pounds from the acid phosphate, and lime at the rate of 32 pounds per tree, 1.636 pounds per acre. The amounts are In excess of the usual recommen dations of these fertilizers for ap ples. yield and color of fruit were the two standards used for measuring the effects of the fertilizer. As for the in crease in yield, it is reported that the results were practically negative from a financial standpoint. With regard to color it is stated that, taken as a whole, the results are dis appointing. They lack uniformity and were not decided enough In a sufficient number of the twelve seasons to en able us to state that the s.ddition of the substances applied heightened the color of apples under the conditions of tho experiment. The effects varied not only from season to season, but varieties varied greatly In some seasons, and In others the same variety' would color differently In plats receiving the same treatment. When we consiider the num ber of factors which are known to in fluence color In fruit we cannot assume with any degree of certainty that the results set forth above show that the addition of these fertilizers changed the color of the fruit in this experiment in any season. Thus exposure to light, the intensity of the light, amount of foliage on the tree, the healthfulness of the foliage, the amount of stored food In the plant, soil heat, the texture of the soil—all of these, besides potash and phosphoric acid, have an influence. The relations of these factors are so Intri cate that it is almost impossible to separate them in an experiment like this, and especially as the differences were so slight. A comparison of the color data with meteorological, data for the twelve year period showg that, the treatment seemed to have art, influence in coloring fruit only in those years when the apple did not develop well, as In 189S and 1902, and that In other seasons, as in 1896, 1900 and 1904, when climatic conditions were favorable to the de velopment of fruit and foliage, the col oring was as nearly peifect on the un treated as on the treated plats. It is not to be inferred from the re sults of this experiment that com mercial fertilizers are never needed In the apple orchard, but they do appear to show that an oi^chard soil may not need potash, phosphoric acid nor lime, even tho the soli may have been cropped a half century that in a soil which produces apples of poor color, potash and phosphoric acid may not improve the color, anc'i that the apple does not seem to be as exhaustive of soil fertility as farm crops. The ex periment suggests as well that to as sume without definite knowledge that a tree needs this or that plant food often leads to the waste of fertilizing material, and that in the matter of fertilizing an orchard a fruit-grower should experiment for himself, since an orchard's need of fertiliser can be de1 termined only by the behavior of the trees when supplied with the several plant foods. SN- Pi (y 1 Disinfectants. j" (Wallace's Farmer.) We are frequently asked as to the most practical disinfectant on the farm. There are throe or four words which are used by farmers as prac tically synonymous, tut jvhlch have a distinct difference In meaning—disin fectant, antiseptic, deodorant, germi cide. Every good disinfectant must be a germicide that is, :tnust kill germ3. An antiseptic prevents the growth of the germ, but does not kill it. A de odorizer simply deadens bad smells, and may not be a disinfectant at all. The high-smelling disinfectants are generally deodorants, and often of little value as germicides. Professor Ross, cr.'. the Wisconsin experiment station, regards corrosive sublimate, which is a most excellent germicide, as dangerous on account of the deadliness of the poison, and some times- useless on account of forming chemical combinations. He regards a good strong solution of copperas as a .good disinfectant. One of the best and cheapest is six ounces of chloride of lime to a gallon of water and provided the lime is strictly fresh, whitewash is still bet ter. Other disinfectants are the dips advertised in all agricultural papers. The cheapest disinfectant however, is plenty of sunlight, which may usu ally be found in abundance outside of the buildings during daylight and the main thing is to put in glass enough to let it in. Speltz v«. Corn, -j t^r (Dakota Farmer) •Now and then a reader writes us that he has not found speltz what dt has been cracked up to be as a feed, but we have an idea if more of this grain was cracked up before it was fed there would be less com plaints of this kind. And still many are feeding speltz whole, and not a few claim that their stook will leave corn to eat speltz. N. F. Crouch, of McCook county, S. D.» says that last year he fed nearly 1,000 bushels and seemingly it did both cattle and hogs as much good as the corn did, and all the stock would leave the corn for the speltz. A. D. WhJ'tney, Pembina county, N. D., gives about the samo. experience, altho the corn fed was of a rather poor quality. For poultry, many claim It is fully equal to corn, but we have found it a little difficult to get our poulitry to eat it readily. We have noticed that whenever the stock or poultry become accustomed to eating it they seemed to take to it better, particularly it it was fed a little damp. Some make a practice of soak ing it before feeding to hogs, and others before feeding It to anything. Being a very hard grain, cracking or grinding has made it more satisfac tory to some for some kinds of stock. Pineules for the Kidneys, 30 days' trial $1.00, Guaranteed.

Manysudden deaths are canaed by it—heart d» ease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kid ney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed toadvaace thekidney-poison* ed blood will at' tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If yon are feel ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and over comes ttiat unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and !s sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles.

An' I've fixed it BO the Borough bill won't come up for ten minutes. Now, all that's left is to touch the punk to the fuse an' Bet off the whole giddy bunch of fireworks under 'em. Gee, but It's good to 'a' stuck to this old world Just for the sake of bein' here today an' seeln' what I'm due to see!" The alderman chuckled, but his joy ous anticipation found no reflection iQ Bennett's white set face. The two were in the committee room, whither Phe lan had repuired after depositing Dal las lu a chair beside her brother at the meeting and attending to one or two details of greater import. "Yes," went on Phelan, again nod ding mysteriously toward the farther door, "he's In there, brained to the minute for the blowout. There's some one else wants to see you, too—some one who'll make more of a bit with you If I'm not overplayin' my hand. But good news can wait. There's so little of it in this measly life that it gen'rally has to. 1"— From the corridor Horrlgan stamped Into the committee room, Wainwrlght at his heels. "Well!" cried the boes defiantly, glar ing at Bennett and Ignoring Phelan. "You sent for us. What do you want?" "One moment!" intervened Waln wright. "We are beaten. We aiimlt that without argument. So we need waste no time going over details." "Have you sent for us to say what you'll sell out for?" queried Horrlgan coarsely, "because if you have you've only to name your price. You've got us where you want us. We've got to pay." "I should have thought," replied Ben nett, with no shade of offense, "you would know by this time that I have no 'price.'" "Then what do you want?" "Nothing—from you." "Why did you send word you wanted to see us?" growled Horrigan impa tiently as he and Walnwright, unin vited, seated themselves at the table. "To tell you," answered Alwyn. glancing from one to the other, "that every step you two have taken in this whole infamous transaction from the very first has been carefully followed, and, to use your own phrase, we've got you with the goods!" "Same olu bluff?" commented Horrl gan contemptuously, with a reassuring ."i Wink at the Suceenful -v The Man of 8(5m%\FBat less" confident Walnwright. "By tomorrow noon," resumed Ben nett, "you will both be indicted on charge of bribery. Even now there are detectives on the watch for you. Es cape is impossible." "Rot!" sneered Horrigan. "You've no evidence that will indict, and you know it. Even If you had. don't I con trol most of the judges and the district attorney's office besides? Swell chance you'll have of petting a conviction past that bunch! Bah! You talk like a man made of mud. 1 s'pose it's the affair of those Roberts notes you're counting on. That don't feaze me any. My lawyer can twist that around so it'll look like a charity gift. No," no, youngster. You'll have to think of something better if"— "And, anytuaw," put in Wainwright nervously, "you can't prove any con nection on ray part. There's nothing against me or"— "I think there is," retorted Bennett, wheeling about on the financier. "And even If I can't nail the Roberts brib ery to you I've plenty more counts to hold you on." "All these generalities and vague ac cusations prove nothing, Bennett," an swered WainwTight, drawing courage from Horrigan's colossal calm and speaking with more assurance. "Mr. Horrigan and I are not schoolboys to be scared by baseless threats. This Is all guesswork on your part. Come, now, name one specific charge you can prove." "One will be enough to convince you?" asked Alwyn. "Weil, then, how about this as a first guess? Mr. Hor rigan's bribe of $2,000,000 In money and 25,000 shares of Borough stock for agreeing to put through the Borough franchise? For 'guesswork' that doesn't seem to me very bad." Wainwright's hard mask of a face twitched convulsively, but the steady brain that had carried him unshaken through a thousand risky financial deals came at once to his rescue. "An excellent guess," he agreed in splendidly feigned amusement, "but unfortunately the courts demand proof before convicting a man, and there 1B no proof whatever of"— "Are you fiure?" queried Bennett. Turning to Phelan, he added: "Please ask Mr. Thompson to come in." The alderman, with an expansive grin, flung open the door of the farther room. At sound of his secretary's name Walnwright tad sprung to his feet and, dumfounded, was leaning heavily on the table, staring across the threshold of the suddenly opened door. There, framed in the dark doorway, his face deathly pale, his eytes glowing with a strange light as of murder, stood Cynthia's brother. His presence in the city hall was no mere chance, but the climax of a series of conferences between Bennett, Phe lan and himself, dating from the night of the administration ball, when, de spite his ow:a resolve, the secretary's hand had been forced by the inquisi tive alderman and his identity re vealed. Bennett had been let Into the secret next day, and the trio had had a three hour tpjk from which Phelan had Lace Curtains Tomorrow and Saturday only we place on sale our entire stock of Lace Curtains at 15*.

The only paper pattern accompanied by a Guide Chart emerged with the gleeful air of one who had unexpectedly found a $1,000 bill. Thompson, too, had left that con ference with a look of calm, intense satisfaction that transfigured him. Other conversations had followed, one of them in the presence of notary, stenographer and lawyers. The trap at last was ready to be sprung. The financier for the first time in his nine year close association with the secretary met tt.e younger man's gaze without seeing the latter droop in def erential submission. Now he received back look for look from his former ab ject slave, and It was his own giants that wavered before that concentrated glare of hate. "Thompson!" lie cried, and bis voice bore a world of incredulous reproach. Before him ood the one man on earth in 'whom Walnwright had ever placed implicit trust to whom he had confided his gravest business secrets the man whoa he had so shrewdly tested in countless ways and who had proved stanchly incorruptible-and loy al, and now Thompson apparently con fronted him in the role of traitor—of exultant spy. "Thompson!" he exclaimed once more, almost wi.th a groan, as the sec retary advanced into the room until only the width of the table separated employer and employee.

About six years ago I was almost a cripple as the result of backache brought on by kidney trouble. The pains in my back, es pecially in the region of the kidneys, were so severe at times that after be ing in a stooping position for a few minutes it would be impossible for me to straighten up without something braced against my back. I had suf fered for some time when Doan's Kid-» ney Pills were recommended to me, and I began taking them. The first few doses gave me relief, and altho It seems remarkable, I was completely cured by one box. I have been better ever since, but recently I felt a little out of sorts and got a box of Doan'e Kidney Pills at McBrlde Will Drujf Co.'s store. I used them and the re sult was very satisfactory.

MIGHTY NICE BREAD. Some People Satisfied to Make a Whole Meal of This Delicious Product. Our buttermilk bread (with the blue diamond label) is really so good to eat that most folks would be satisfied to make a whole meal of it. Of course no body would want to live on just bt'ead, but if your family would eat more bread, wouldn't there ibe a saving on some of the higher-priced foods? One housekeeper said not long ago: "I can't afford to give my family such bread—they eat so much of it." But don't you suppose that they atei less meat or vegetables? Surely they did. And besides bread—good bread—But termilk bread is as nourishing, as healthful, as anything else that you could possibly give them. For our buttermilk bread is made of just the finest flour that we can buy, mixed with pure rich whole milk, so that it's not only nourishing, but it's actually delicious. Suppose you see if your family doesn't think so, too? Your own gro cer surely has buttermilk bread, and it costs just the same as the ordinary sort —10 cents per loaf. Be sure it has the blue diamond la bel. Made at STANDARD BAKERY, 110 West Main. The Place That's Different. LOW RATES To Pacific Coast via Chicago, Union Pacific Northwestern Line.

James W. Good, of Cedar Rapids, progressive republican candidate for congressman in the Fifth district, ieads all candidates in Marshall county in the way of majorities. Later re turns, and revision of figures, give Good a majority of 1,341 over Trewin. Cummins' majority over Allison in this county is slightly reduced hy the later .figures, which showed some corrections over the earlier returns. Cummins' ma jority stands unofficially at 1,279.

For Cummins Marshall county gave more votes, and a bigger majority, than any other Iowa county outside of Polk. Marshall county's Cummins vote and majority are the largest in proportion to the voting population of any county in Iowa. Polk county, while giving Cummins twice the majority of Mar shall, casts three times as many repub lican votes as Marshall county. Egermayer High in County. J. H. Egermayer, for county attor ney, stands as high man for majorities for county offices. His vote was no surprise to his friends, and even the opposition conceded his nomination early. Egermayer received a majority of 1,056 over Caswell, or within a few votes of two to one. Cornell, for audi tor, was second high, with 745 Hara don, for clerk, next, with 685 Hos teler fourth, with 499 Van Law fifth,, with 346 Jay, sixth, with 317 and Nicholson last, with 161.

General Superintendent D. C. No'O nan, of the Iowa Central, was in the city Wednesday night, leaving this morning for Oskaloosa. When asked regarding the strike situation Air. Noo nan had very little to say. He was asked: "What would the company's attitude be if disinterested persons took steps to arbitrate the strike?" Mr. Noonan replied: "We never turn any one down," but when asked what his reply might mean he had nothing further to say. His manner indicated that the company had nothing to ar bitrate, and it was strengthened by his statement that it must be apparent to all that the company was operating its shops. ENGINEERS "JERKED UP" Engine Drivers Menace Lives by Rac ing Into Union Station. Lives of persons who were on the union station platfonm, and who were disembarking from south-bound Iowa Central passenger train No. 4, were en dangered by Iowa Central north-bound passenger No. 1 and the Northwestern west-bound fast mall, No. 15, that raced into the station and finished neck and neck. Both trains went over the Third avenue crossing at a speed of from twenty to thirty miles an hour, and when they swept by the platform, one on each side, with only a few feet between, the dust that was thrown up was blinding. One man who was standing close to the Iowa Central track waiting for a friend to get off from the south-bound train, which had just pulled in, was pulled out of the way Just in time. When the trains came in passengers were hurrying back and forth from the platform to the station, and others were in the act of alighting from the south-bound Central train directly In the pathway of the swiftly approach ing north-bound passenger. T. C. Clegg, the engineer of the Central train, was summoned to ap pear in the police court to answer a charge of exceeding the speed limit, and a similar summons was sent to the NorthwestPi'n p""!r,~vr. pulling the fast mall. The fast mall train was going so rustl tnat ic pu.u.ii three car lengths ahead of the water tank, where the engine always stops. FORMER RESIDENT DEAD.

If iparent:3 realized the fact that cof fee contains a drug—caffeine—which is especially harmful to children, they would doubtless hesitate before giving •the babies coffee to drink. "When I was a child in my mother's arms and first began to nibble things at the table, mother used to give me sips of ooffee. As my parents used coffee exclusively at meals I never knew there was anything to drink but coffee and water. "And I contracted the coffee habit early. I remembered when quite young, the continual use of coffee so affected my parents that they tried roasting •wheat and barley, then ground it in the coffee-mill as a substitute for cof fee. *®ut It did not taste right and they went back to coffee again. That was long before Posturri was ever heard of. I continued to use coffee until I was 27, and when I got into office work, I be gan to have nervous spells. Especially after breakfast I was so nervous I could scarcely attend to my corres pendence. "At night, after having coffee for supper, I could hardly sleep, and on rising in the morning would feel weak and nervous. "A friend persuaded me to try Pos tum. My wife and I did not like It at first, but later when boiled good and strong it was fine. Now we would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever tasted. "I can now get good sleep, am free from nervousness and headaches. I recommend Postum to all coffee drink ers. "There's a Reason." ,t' Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Grinnell Couple Now Have 30,000 Vig orous Plants—Other News. Special to Ttmes-Kepublican. Grinneli, Jnne 4.—A few years ago the "ginseng fever" struck this vicin ity. A large amount of literature on the subject of ginseng culture, prepar ation for market and sale and the enormous prices received for the prop erly prepared root, was sent out and many an imagination was inflamed by the prospect of making a fortune from a quarter of an acre of ground. Some people in this region bought cultivated plants one, two and three years old and prepared beds for the culture of the plants. The slow growth of the roots and the long time of waiting to get any substantial financial results, together with the numerous obstacles that are met in the development of any new project, drove most of the experimenters out of the business within two or three years from the time of the starting. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Skinner, of this city, went into the culture with the intention of making it a business. Their first venture was with a little plot of ground in their garden. After a few years, the increase in the seeds and plants demanded more ground and they bought a few acres just outside the city limits. Here a piece of ground 40 feet by 70, was prepared and surrounded and covered •with slats for the necessary shade, and today they have 30,000 helathy and vigorous plants on that space. They have on hand also 22,000 seeds for germination, and will have to add to •their grounds a piece 24 feet by 70 this summer. They have been offered each year high prices for the seeds they have gathered, but have chosen to keep them and enlarge their facili ties for maturing the roots. They have sold one lot of the oldest roots for commercial purposes realizing, about $4 a pound for*this thoroughly dried roots. Mr. William Berry, living a few miles southwest of this city, has also been engaged for some years in the culture of this plant, having gotten a consid erable portion of his present extensive stock by digging the wild roots in the woods and putting them under cul ture. W. L. Fowler, son of J. W. Fowler} and for some time recently connected with his father in the management o" the creamery and artifificial ice plant in this city, has severed that connec tion and plans to remove from Grin neli. Mr. and Mrs. Fowler will travel thru the northwest in the direction of Seattle, at which place they rather ex pect to make a permanent stop. E. B. Brande is walking by the aid.! of a cane, and suffers considerable pain and inconvenience because of hav ing strained the ligaments of his right: knee is a recent base ball contest be-1 twcen local teams. At the special election called by Col. F". W. Bishop of the' 54th regiment ot, the Iowa National Guards, on Tues day evening last, in this city, for the election of a captain for Company K| in place of Captain E. E. Bump, who resigned some' months ago, Walter 3. Ncrly was unanimously elected. John VBi uri was ri "ted first lieutenant to, fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Neely's election, and Ralph Wiltamuth was elected second lieutenant. There is the feeling among t!he members of Com panv Iv and of the citizens that the company is now well officered and the hope is expressed that it may be re cruited up to the full standard and at- 1 tain the high state of efficiency that is the ambition of both officers and men.

Chicago, June 4.—Cattle were strong and excited and prices were 10@15c higher than yesterday's best. Buyers scrambled after nearly everything of fered, and trading was the wildest of the year. All branches of trade partic ipated. Coolers no longer hold liberal beef stocks. The killers have worked off their surplus and now face a big short age. The shortage has been more immi nent in the past ten days than in recent years and hence the sharp up-turn in prices. Texas is marketing a small volume just now and the let-up from recent liberal runs from the southwwst has been a big factor in boosting the jnarket for corn belt cattle. Hogs. Hogs were steady, and slow. Ship pers' orders were scarce, packers in different, and speculators displayed but little energy. Sellers had a hard task to prevent a decline in prices. A provision specialist says: "com bined stocks of cut meats at the five largest packing points, including Chi cagOL shows for the month of May, 1908, a decrease of 5,000,000 lbs, against an increase for month of May, 1907, of 42,000,000. Stocks outside of the spec ulative product are fairly below those of last year. For instance, extra short clears, 10.000,000 lbs and other cuts 9, 000,000- less than 1907. Notable ex cess in speculative product, which is used as the bear argument pork, 32, 000 brls lard, 58,000 tcs ribs, 25.000, 000 lbs prices, as compared with a year ago for speculative product, show pork, $2.50 per brl lard, %c, and ribs $1.25 cheaper. Looks like hog stutt was cheapest feed in sight." World's stock of lard June 1, as Compiled by Hately Brothers, shows a total of 325,085 tierces, as against 292,982 tcs. June 1, 1907, or of 32.133 tcs. more. The increase in the world's stock of lard during May this year was 47,204 tcs., as against an increase of 56.1S6 tcs. a year ago. Sheep. •Sheep were weak and trade was practically at a standstill, owing to the utter lack of demand. Buyers started out with an avowed determination to bag bargains, and de mand did not appear notably strong from any source. The half-week run here is close to 54,000, or 2L\Q00 more than came a year ago, and liquidation is the principal depressing influence. Outside orders on killing account have been scant. Country buyers are fairly numerous, however, and there is a dis tinct clamor for shorn lambs to take out for finishing purposes.-Somebody evidently believes the market is scrap ing on bottom and is willing to take a chance.

Government Enlists Services ot College Young Men For Work ol Keiorm NOVEL PLAN HAS BEEN EVOLVED Commissioner of Corporations Encour­ ages Youngsters to Enter Govern­ ment Servite in Executive Positions —Government to Probe European Vice. (Special Washington Correspnodence) Washington, June 4.—Trust busting is the newest profession for the col lege young man. Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, and himself one of the youngest men in responsible connec tion with the executive department of the government, is credited with dis covering the possibilities of utilizing the intc-Ileutukl skill of the young col lege man. without having to pay the large saJaries that older men would demand for the service. Mr. Smith has been developing a theory that more college men ought to go into government service. Not into politics, that is, but into administrat ive and executive positions, where tf5ey would get a training especially adapt ing them for the work of government. Mr. Smith's bureau requires, year by year, the services of a large num ber of men competent to do research work of various kinds. It is constantly being turned loose by congress to in vestigate things. It needs men who can fairly appraise social values, who will enter their work with the right atti tude of mind to learn, who have not acquired prejudices and predilections, and who have no reason for misrepre senting what they discover. After a good deal of experimentation, the bu reau has developed a theory that young men just out of college, postgraduate students, youths between the junior and senior years, young professors who have themselves but recently left college, are the on?s on the whole best fitted for the work he wants done. Recently Mr. Smith appeared before a group of young men at the Nebras ka university at Lincoln, and dis cussed with them the question of doing some work for his department. He talked of the possibilities of the gov ernment service, and as a result se cured several of them to engage in the service. Most of them are undergrad uates who expect to return for further studies In the university. About the same time he enlisted a number of young men from the university of Pennsylvania, who were anxious to earn some money toward paying ex penses, and incidentally to acquire some experience. These young men are now gathering up facts about the lum ber business of the country. According to Mr. Smith, who has been experimenting in this direction for some time, there is no better class of workers for this kind of business than the young college men. He has been hiring preferably those who have been paying their own way thru col lege. "Because the chap with disposi tion to pay his way thru college is pretty certain to have something in him worth getting out," is Mr. Smith's explanation In the effort to get to the bottom of the traffic in vice between Europe and this country, the government has de cided, for the first time, to send a woman to Europe to investigate the trade in girls who are. brought here for immoral purposes. Government officials, while admit ting that this arrangement has been made, decline positively to give tho name of the woman who is to make this unprecedented investigation. It is explained that such an announcement in advance would make It practically impossible for her to succeed in the task she is undertaking. That there is a regular, organized, and profitable traffic in girls, between continental countries and American cities, has long been well known. In some of the European cities indeed there is reason to believe that the bus iness is carried on under the protec tion of officialism. The United States government has long made especial ef forts to keep out women brought in for Immoral purposes, but it has been in creasingly difficult to do this without imposing unnecessarily hard condi tions on all women who are presented at American ports. A number of investigations of this traffic have been made by men, but the results have not been entirely sat isfactory. Consequently the determina tion to send a woman. Her business will be to get into the confidence, if •possible, of the people who are con ducting the traffic, and to learn as manv of its secrets as may be. It is known to the government that there is some sort of central intelli gence in this country which directs this traffic, and which is closely in touch with the European countries. Young women are induced in all kinds of ways to submit themselves to the approaches of the agencies of the wholesale vice establishments. Some are peasant girls, coming in the expectation, of em ployment at hisrh salaries: others are already adepts in the ways of the half world.

Son of "Fighting Bob" Shows Himself "Chip of the Old Block." San Francisco, June 8.—Lieutenant F. T. Evans, U. S. N., of the Louisiana, and son of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, former commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, prevented at the point of a revolver a gang of thugs from beating and robbing two enlisted men from his ship. Lieutenant Evans, who only recently returned from ac companying his father to Washington, was going thru the faiinous "Barbary Coast" district when he saw two of the men from his ship enter a saloon run in conjunction with a dance hal.. Out of curiosity he entered and saw a successful attempt to take a $20 gold piece from one of his men. He prompt ly intervened and prevented the theft, bu the crowd of loafers round about evinced immediate resentment at his action. A fight was imminent, when Lieutenant Evans drew a revolver and standing off the roughs threatened to shoot the first man who laid he.nds on either blue jacket. An alarm mean while had been given and the police, charging in, cleared the place out. The enlisted men, William Edmund son and John Wallick, were extremely grateful to Lieutenant Evans, whose prompt action they declared saved them from an wgly predicament. AMERICAN HELD IN FRANCE. In Jiail at Lille on Extradition War rant from Belgium. Lille, France, June 4.—'Charles von Milevich of Philadelphia has been in jail here for the past fortnight on an extradition warrant from Tournai, Bel gium, charged with robbing his fath er-in-law of $400 while visiting him at Prasnes, Belgium, early in May. The authorities of Lille have refused to permit Von Milevich to see his wife, and for a time they would not allow him tp communicate with the Ameri can consular agent here, C. J. King. Later they ignored a communication from Mr. King, transmitting a con fession from Von Milevich's siister-in law. Mile. Laurence Noules, declaring that she took the money in question to enable her to accompany Von Mile vich to America. Mr. King has asked Ambassador White and Consul Gen eral Mason at Paris to intervene In the' matter. Would Excuse Her. "The butler In a Scotch fa.mily oc cupies a privileged and unique posi tion," said a Scot to some friends who were discussing the servant problem. "He sometimes assumes a freedom of speech tihat to Americans would be an impertinence, but to those that know him this is only one of the many evi dences of his interest in 'the family welfare. "A young lady from New York was the guest at a house wher6 a butler of that sort reigns. She su'bmitted to his patronage with much amusement. One day there were unexpected and im portant guests for dinner, a fact that caused the butler a little while before the meal was served to waylay the American girl in the hall. 'I'm fearin' there'll no be enough soup,' he explained, 'so when it's of fered ye maun decline it, lass.' 'Why,' was the laughing response of the girl, 'it wouldn't .be polite for me to decline soup.' 'Not precisely,' said the butler, with a benignant smile, 'but they'll a' make excuse for ye, tlhinkin' ye kan nae bet ter.' Great Demand for Mirrors. The production of metallic mirroYs for searchlights an and other such •is now in demand in Eupore, accord ing to the London Times. Those made of glass, now used, are objectionable owing to their liability to fracture when tihe guns are fired on ships, and to the silvering on the mirrors blist ering and separating from the glass. A new metallic mirror, partially made by electro-deposition, Is being intro duced. The mirror has a surface com posed of alternating bands or rings of gold and white reflecting surfaces. It is claimed, that this mirror gives a more penetrating beam of light .both at night and in foggy weather, that ob jects on which sucih a beam oi light is thrown stand out in greater relief than in a light thrown from a silver white metal mirror, and that the in tensity of the light is so great that it' is impossible to aim accurately at the projector. Another advantage claimed for the new mirrors is that tihey are not fractured by concussion, and that even when penetrated by bullets the area of distortion is very small. The Style That Goes. Clyde Fitch, at a dinner given by a group of illustrators in honor of "Girls," his successful new play, produced one of his famous scrapbooks. "In this scrapbook," said Mr. Fitch, "I have gathered passages from the year's best sellers. The passages will give you some idea of the style that goes." Then he read: "The worthy pastor appeared at the manse door, his hands thrust deep in to the pockets of his loose jacket, while he turned the leaves of his praye«-book thoughtfully, and wiped his- glasses with a distraught air." "After the door was closed a stealthy foot slipped into the room, and with cautious hand extinguished the light." "Fitzgibbon lingered over his final lemonade, when a gentle voice tapped him on the shoulder, and, turning, he beheld his old friend once again." "The chariot of revolution is rolling onward, gnashing its teeth as it rolls." Must Get Their Excuses Ready. (Springfield, .Mass., Union) 'Members of the house 'if representa tives will have some explaining to do when they go back to their constitu ents, unless within the rem iining few weeks congress more of the legislation recommended by the president is ac complished. There is no denying the fact that the present big republican majority in the house is due to the popularity of the president's politics. The country had a right to expect that the representatives would support the president instead of pulting obstacles in his way. Correspondence of a Diplomat. Wlit-n Andrew D. White was ambas sador to Germany he received some queer letters from Americans. Perhaps the funniest of all was a mandatory epistle from an old lady living in the west, who inclosed in her letter four pieces of white linen, each some six inches square.

The stern faced old gentleman, who had been a school teacher in the '40s, selected a goose quill, deftly fashioned it into a pen and wrote his letter on a single sheet of paper. Then he sprinkled black sand over the written page. Then he folded the sheet in the form of a rectangle. After which he sealed it with a red wafer and directed it. "I like the old way the best," he said, "and it's mighty little the steel trust the paper trust, and the mucilage trust get out of me." But he had to use something mod ern, and with a frown he affixed a 2 cent postage stamp. Old coughs, desperate coughs, rasping coughs, extremely perilous cougbs, coughs that shake the whole body.
