We Honor him as a true statesman -who kept Inviolate the faith bequeathed by Thomas Jefferson to this time honored organization of the people. We recall with grateful appreciation the signal services he rendered in maintaining jealously the just distribution of the powers guar anteed by the constitution to the exe cutive, legislative, and judicial depart ments of our government in insisting Chat no greater burdens be Imposed upon the people by taxation than is necessary to administer the govern ment economically, in striking at the root of growing evils of special privi lege and trust monopoly by demand ing tariff reduction, and in making practical application of the principle of civil service reform under the mot to, 'Public office la a public trust.' "We revere Slim as a patriot, who never failed to denounce wrong and uphold right wherever found whose courage was unmistakable whose ln tegrlty .was unquestioned, and whoso adherence to hla high Ideals could not be shaken. "We deplore his death as that of «he flrst citizen of the United States, the pre-eminent embodiment of political and social truhts, that from unselfish services comes the noblest power that power of Influence which is vast ly greater than the might of authori ty." "Finally, wo oommend to the Ameri can youths the study of this most striking example of universal honor and reverence, won by true character thru sturdy adherence to undying principles, and we hereby direct tho officers of this convention to transmit by telegraph to Mrs. Cleveland, In Princeton, this expression of our sor row and pride. We further request the democratic members of congress to take steps to insure the erection in Washington at the earliest day pos sible of an adequate national monu ment to commemorate the services of Grover Cleveland. "It la still further resolved that In respect for the memory of this great democratic statesman' and patriot this convention shall immediately adjourn until 10 on Wednesday." Bryan Men Spring Resolution. The following resolution was offered by J. Dunn, of Omaha, who will place Bryan in nomination: "As ft has pleased the ruler of the universe 'to remove from our midst, Grover Cleveland, the late president of the United States who three times was the candidate of the democratic party, be it resolved, that we, delegates of the party in national convention as sembled, recognize in him one of the Strongest and ablest characters known to the worild's statesmanship, who possessed to an extraordinary degree, the elements of leadership, and by his able, conscientious, forcHful afimfcnls (ration of public affaire, redacted honor, upon his country and p.uty. and re-i solved, that we hereby express our deep sorrow over his dtath, and ex tend our warmest sympathy "and con dolence to the family: that this resolu tlon be spraad upon the records of the convention, and a copy be forwarded to Mrs. Cleveland.

The national committee, sitting as a whole, today approved the llnding of the sub-committees in the contests from Idaho and Pennsylvania, reported yesterday. The result was the seating on temporary roll call of the Duboia Heltfeldt faction from Idaho, and 'an antl-Guffey man In Pennsylvania. The committee refused to consider the con test In Ohio, on which Tom Johnson yesterday agreed to ask for reconsid eration. Stand by Judge Gray. The New Jersey delegates decided, after a heated argument In cauous, to vote as a unit for Gray for president. To Present Johnson Early.

Sullivan Chosen Illinois Committee man Despite Protest. Denver, July 7.—Roger C. Sullivan was re-elected national committeeman from Illinois last evening in spite of his own and Mr. Bryan's protests. It probably was the first time the Ne braskan and the Chlcagoan ever were as one In their wishes, but this time, for opposite reasons, they were to gether. Roger C. fought harder to keep off the committee than Mr. Bryan fought to keep him off, and, paradoxical as it may be, if Mr. Bryan had kept his hands off he might have had another committeeman from Illinois. Millard P. Dunlap, special represen tative of Mr. Bryan, queered -both Mr. Sullivan's and Mr. Bryan's chances of getting things done as they wished them done. There was small chance, anyway, but Mr. Dunlap eliminated It. Ho told the Illinois delegates Mr. Bry an toad been promised an "acceptable committeeman" from Illinois. He said Mr. Bryan was greatly interested in this and had deputed him to convey his wishes to the Illinois democracy regarding the matter. s. v.4 J. the presidential nominations. Under this arrangement, Johnson's name will be presented early in the roll. S 4 EXIT FOR MAYOR TOM JOHNSON Cleveland Executive Defeated as Com mitteeman for His State. Denver, July 7.—Mayor Tom L.John son, of Cleveland, loyal (friend of W. J. Bryan and one of his most ardent sup porters, Is to be crucified by a Bryan national convention. Mayor Tom is whipped for national committeeman from his own state. The Ohio delegates will caucus in the court house and will elect to succeed Mayor Johnson on the national committee Harvey Garber, of Colum-bus. The vote probably will be thirty-one for Garber and fifteen for Johnson. Johnson Intends to put the delegation on record, and Insists, in the face of objections made by Mr. Bryan, to the policy upon carrying his flight into the caucus. The national committee extended Johnson a crumb of comfort, however, in awarding him two delegations from the Ninth district, the delegation con testing Garber's men. The regular del egates, so called, were E. A. Powers,, and William Watts. Johnson's contest ants from the district were Frank B. Nlles and Charles R. Gurdlng. In the Nineteenth district the Garber delega gates were seated In preference to the Johnson men.. The sub-committee of the national oommlttee voted to unseat all of Johnson's contestants, but the national committee reversed the re commendation as to the Ninth district. Garber, however, still has a majority. •Tom h. Johnson, of Cleveland, was defeated by a vote of 27 to 7 for mem bership on the national committee to day at the formal caucus of the Ohio delegation. IOWA GIVES SULLIVAN HONOR Choice for Resolutions Committee May Become Vice Presidential Candidate Denver, July 7.—The Iowa del gatlon at its caucus last night, agreed on Jerry B. Sullivan as Its mern'ber of the resolutions mlttee. Sullivan was twice a defeated candidate for governor of Iowa, and will make one of the speeches second ing- Bryan's nomination. It ls under stood he goes on the committee at Mr. Bryan's request. Mr. Sullivan is among those mention ed in connection with the vioe presi- doncy, but the caucus reached no de cision regarding Ills candidacy. •The presentation of Mr. Sullivan's name to the convention will be gov erned wholly by circumstances, and they will develop In the course of the next fow days," said Claude R. Porter, who is the democratic nominee for United States senator against William B. Allison. "The republican party In Iowa has been torn Tor seven years with a bitter factional light which will have its climax in the November election. Tho democrats have a good chance, and Willi Sullivan as tho vice presidential candidate It would Improve." BRYAN MAY GO TO DENVER. 'Ready for Flying Trip if He Fails to Win on First Ballot, Deliver, July 1.—William J. Bryan has all preparations made for a hasty flight to Denver in the event that his nomination does not come on the llrat ballot. From the highest and most unim peachable source it is announced that ,Mr. Bryan has figured upon the ex treme possibility of a failure to se cure the necessary two-thirds ma jority on the first ballot. "If the nomination Is not made on the first roll call," declared a prom inent arrival from Lincoln, who would not permit the use of his name. "You may say that Mr. Bryan will be in Denver upon the succeeding day and will address the convention In his own behalf." "His friends are easily hi control of a majority of the convention. They will be able to force an adjournment Immediately upon the completion of the first ballot, if It is unfavorable. Mr. Bryan will be warned Instantly and a special train already has been ar ranged for to bring him to the conven tion." MORE BUILDINGS BURNED.

Special to Times-Republican. Deo Moines, July 7.—The supreme court decided In favor of women re garding the voting on the erection pf a new city hall here. The city officials put questions on the .ballot on the erection of a city hall and on Increas ing the tax levy, and claimed the wom en could not vote because no question of issuing bonds was -submitted.

It holds that the word election as used by the constitution to males means elections referred to 1n the constitution and the choice of officials, and voting on bonds 'is not an election as defined by tho constitution and is subject to regulation by the legislature.

CHLOROSIS! 'i& I A PORM OF ANAEMIA WHICH AF FLICTS GROWING GIRLS AND WHICH DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CURE. There Is a form of anaemia, or hloodlessness, that often afflicts grow ing' girls, the medical term for which lis chlorosis, or green sickness. It has been called the anaemia of develop ment.

The disease Is In the blood and :Dr. Williams' Pink PiWs are particu larly well adapted to cure it. We have yet to hear of a case In which these blood-making pills have been tried Without success.

She says: "When I was about fifteen years old II became all run down from chlorosis. ]t was pale, thin and weak.

GOVERNMENT HOLDS TITLE Swamp Lands Deeded to Settlers by Speoulator Illegally Taken Secre tary of Interior Decides Against Present Occupants Cases Pending Seven Years. Special to Times-Republican. Fort Dodge, July 7.—A controversy covering* a period of seven years and involving several tracts of land in I Webster county that arc now of lilgh value, has been decidcd against the present occupants and claimants a.nd in favor of the government. The de partment of the interior holds that the lands are swamp lands under the act of Sept. 25, 1860. It was in 1901 that Andrew Aront and several others started an action to prevent W. E. Moses from acquir ing title to fourteen tracts of land in Webster county. Moses, who is a land speculator living in Denver, attempted to enter the land on script, which he had purchased from .persons holding land grants from congress. The plaintiffs claimed that the four teen forty acre tracts were among the lands turned over to the state by the government under the swamp lands act of 1850. The transfer was made in 1857, and the state immediately deeded the lands to Wtubster county, which in turn gave quit claim deeds for them to settlers. By 1901 the lands had been drained, and Moses, not knowing that they had ever been claimed to be swamp lands, and being un ible to find a record of patents Ibeing issued for them, applied for patents on his script. As far as he was able to learn they were still a part of the public domain. But the Webster county people laid claim to the lands and appealed to the general land office. An agent was sent out by the department, and together with an agent of the county agreed that the fourteen tracts had never been swamp land. This entitled Moses to the land and patents were Issued to him. The own ers filed a suit and after a six weeks' trial in the Des Moines land office the agent decided that they were swamp lands and were Included in the tracts given to the state under the act of 1850, Moses appealed and Che commissioner of the general land office reversed the decision of the local land agent. Arent and the other plaintiffs in their turn appealed to the secretary of the in terior and he reversed the commission er. This was a victory for the Web ster county people and yesterday the local land office received a certifica tion Chat the 660 acres -were originally swamp lands. A patent will now ibe Issued by the general land office to the state and the state will in turn transfer the land to Webster county. This will clear the titles of the present holders of the tracts. But It Is expected that Moses will appeal to the federal courts to .pre vent this course of action. REGULAR TRAFFIC SOON. 8t. Paul Dee Moines Within 200 Yard* of Great Western. Special to Times-Republican. Mason City, July 7.—Rails are now laid on the St. Paul A Des Moines rail way as far as the grade is constructed. This brings the parallel ribbons of steel within 20Q yards of the Great Western interurban crossing, directly In front of the Iowa Odd Fellows' Or phans' home, and within half a mile of the city. The eighty pound rails are laid on heavy oak ties. The work train is now busied with the ballasting of the line from Sheffield north to this city. Indications are that the new line will, as rumored, lease the trackage of the Great Western from the present end of their line to the Milwaukee crossing, where they can connect with the latter road, using its terminal facilities in this city. From present prospects, reg ular traffic should be possible over the new line by the first of August, and perhaps at an earlier date. best inducements win. Wright County Teachers' Institute Made a Matter of Competition. Special to Timei-Republican.

Fourth of July Celebration at Indfr pendence Ends in Mob Violence. I independence, July 7.—One of the greatest disappointments ever perpe trated by any Iowa city was pulled off at Independence Saturday on over 5, 000 strangers attracted there .by ad vertisements announcing one of the greatest celebrations ever attempted. The big drawing card was the great railroad collision between two mon ster 80 ton engines, to take place on the fair grounds at 3:30 p. m. Aside fiioni this feature there were to bo» races, ball games, athletic contests, vaudeville and a balloon ascension. An admission price of but fifty cents was required to witness this plethora of amusements and excitement. The bait was certainly tempting and from the dawn of day until afternoon Independence was the mecca tor thousands of people residing within a radius of fifty miles who journeyed thither by railroad or team a.s condi tions required. The time arrived for the great cli rna^ of the celebration, the railroad collision. Thousands of eyes wer. riveted on the two dilapidated engines that stood headed towards each other, 300 feet apart on a hastily constructed truck. Smoke poured from their stacks while the "veteran engineers" wiih hands on the throttles and gazing fixedly ahead, leaned out of the cab windows. The Lime for the collision had arrived, but no signal was given. One hour, two hours passed, still no collision. The crowd at first impatient, became surly and Ill-natured, and slowly left the grounds feeling they had been bunkoed. At the Illinois Cen tral station Charles King as discovered and set upon by the mob. King was knocked to the ground, kicked, beaten and cuffed and would have been seri ously injured had he not been rescued by four police and removed by a con veyance to the business distrk-t. After the attack on King the orowd scat tered about the city to wait for the night trains. BOAT CAPSIZED ONE DROWNS. O John Roney, Sioux City, Loses Life Because He Could Not Swim. Sioux Oily.

Roney was the last of the trio to come to the surface. He gasped and freed his lungs from water. He gave two or three loud cries for help, beat the water frantically with his hands and sank to the bottom of the stream. Ruppert. who-Is a strong swimmer, imade for land from the place where the boat went under, 1n the middle of the stream, directly opposite the public dock. He reached the neck of land unassisted. Shannon was encumbered by his coat, and had almost given up the tight, when a row boat manned by Archie Conklin and Ernest Winter reached him. He grabbed hold of the hack end of the boat and was towed to shore. NUMBERS AS BAD AS NAMES. County Attorney Knapp, Wright Coun ty, Busy Confiscating Liquor.

This entire amount is an Increase, be cause of new buildings erected during the year, the valuation of tihe real es tate remaining the came as in 1907, ex­ Corn has mude satisfactory growth, notwithstanding the adverse conditions, but the frequent showers have prevent ed the cultivation of fields on low lands and interrupted the work on high land. The showery conditions have also delayed the hay harvest and caused considerable damage to clover which had been cut. The yield of hay will be exceptionally large, but the quality will depend on future weather conditions. Small grain has made good growth of straw, and now needs warm, dry weather to mature properly. The reports of rust In oats are in creasing, but for the state at large the condition of small grain gives promise of good yields. The condition of pota toes and garden truck remains about the same as previously reported. Following is a summary of reports from crop correspondents, showing the condition of the staple crops on July 1, as compared with the average condi tion, on that date, in past years: Corn, 85 per cent: winter wheat, 99: spring wheat, 94 oats, 90 rye, 95: bar ley, 93 flax, 89 hay, 103 pastures, 104: potatoes, 99 apples, 50 plums, 40 grapes, 80. Conditions last year: Corn 76, spring wheat 90 oats 89 barley 90: rye 94 flax 91 hay crop 78 pastures 92 potatoes 88 apples 42 grapes 80. A revised estimate of the area of corn planted this year shows 94 per cent, or an average decrease of 6 per cent as compared with the area planited In 1907. FROM ALL OVER IOWA KM ®I8S3I Madrid.

Oats Crop as Seen by George' M. Le Count, the Estimator. Minneapolis, July 7.—George M. Le Count, the Flnley Barrell orop expert, has sent the following from Spencer, Iowa: "The winter wheat crop of 1908 is about safe, and there is small proba bility that there will be any further active damage. I think the new crop will equal that of last year. In eastern part of the state there are more low spots, where the orop is ruined, than any other part of the state, but It is largely corn there and, of course, it will not greatly effect the general re sults of the wheat crop. In the vicinity of Hastings, Neb., where the acreage is large, the crop is in almost perfect condition and the quality fine. In re gard to movement of the new crop, I can see no .reason why the shipments should vary much from the receipts of other years, as the farmers with heavy acreages wil/l not have granary room for all their crop and In general con sequence will be obliged to haul a large portion of their orop direct from thresher to elevator. "Another point to be considered is 1 Burlinqton. \K Turk, giving his name as Bo sauna Benjamin of Kurdistan, Asia, has been soliciting about the city for the past three days in a peculiar cause.

After leaving Jefferson the oats vary widely, a.s the lay of land is generally more level than In the southern part of the state.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick tuilding. New York. N. Y. THE NEW MR. BRYAN. that were defeated in the convention which removed him from party lead ership and substituted Parker, the ul tra-conservative. Bryan had grown in the estimation—even the affections—of the people of other parties if not in that of his own. Another campaign is on, and we see a new Bryan. He Is, apparently, In complete control of his party organi zation, a more powerful leader than be fore, but a manipulator of political deals instead Jf a champion of heaven born principles. In the effort to Insure his place as the leader of his party, Bryan has shown not only a willingness but an intense desire to conciliate the warring elements of his party. In the skirmish for position In the political contest for party control and leadership now on in Denver the game of politics Is be ing played to the limit. Bryan has sur rendered to the exigencies of the mo ment and has openly bid for the sup port of Hearst, his newspapers and his Independence League. He is seeking to molilfy the conservative wing of his party by the offer of second place to Judge Gray, of Delaware, who is an avowed candidate for the presidency and represents the Cleveland wing of the democracy. Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, who is as radical on some questions as was the Bryan of 1896, and has a following of no mean propor tions, must also be placated in the in terests of harmony—and Bryan. There fore Bryan has let It be known to the Mlnnesotan's friends that a cabinet position is the price that will be paid for his withdrawal from the race for ft 7* first honors. "C~ Mr. Bryan may thus succeed in uni fying the democracy. But at what a cost!. HO FOR CHAUTAUQUA AND CIRCUS. The season of the chautauque and of the circus is on. Let the circus come and amuse the multitudes but let the chautauqua be no circus. The one is for pure amusement, idle amusement except for the information gained by the children from the circle of animal cages. The other has 'become an In stitution for the dissemination of ideas, 'for the inspiration of thought among a people. The circus manager hunts the lady who oan stand erect on one horse and drive three others. The circus amuses and entertains. Let it come and let all the small boys sit on the front seat. The chautauqua manager watches the newspapers for a year and wherev er some man 'has accomplished a no table thing, has proved of prominence and pre-eminence as a writer, a states man, a judge or a thinker of large thought, the chautauqua manager ap pears with his offer of a 'large salary that people by the thousands may hear and see the great men of their age. The historian and the orator famil iarize us with the achievements and notable characters of the |reat men of the past. The chautauqua manager fol lows the newspapers in bringing his tory up to the minute. He presents be fore our eyes in the real flesh and hiood the great men of the present. We hear them, see them, go home and think over what they said. We get Ideas that are new to us and we are inspired to do some thinking in our •wn name. When hundreds of thous ands of us have had this same exper ience we become a greater people in our Intelligence and capacity for self government, right living and achieve ment. TABLE MANNERS OF A NOMINEE Plain men appear :omlng to their own the republican nominee for governor is to be taken as a criterion. We are Informed in no uncertain tones that he eats with hie knife. This gentleman, Jacob V. Jacobson, of Madison, Lac iui Parle county. Is an auctioneer by trade, and ex-member of the Minneso ta legislature and his nomination is be ieved to be particularly strong .be cause he will draw the vote of a large number of men whose ancestry, like his own, is Scandinavian. Of course the fact that he eats without disdaining the humble knife will be of Behold William Jennings Bryan, pol itician. The nation at large had gradually shoveling In pie is neither proscribed accepted the Nebraska man as one Who would measure up to high states manship if given the opportunity.Bry an had grown. He emerged from the campaign of 189C a defeated demagog. In the four years intervening between that campaign and the next, Bryan had attained the poise of a man worldly wise, sincere in the principles he ad vocated and possessed of a mind broad ened by study, travel and contact with people, but again defeated. At St. Lou is four years later he was seen sin is rour years laier ire nesota republicans could not have Mr. cerely fighting for well known principles great assistance to him in garnering the franchises in the fall. This feature of 111* daily habits was sprung unexpectedly on the public by ex-Congressman Frank Eddy, who said: "The only reflection anyone has been able to cast on our candidate is that he eats pie with a knife, lie is a rough, rugged, natural man. We could not have him any different if we would and we would not if we could." As Mr. Jacobson is advanced in years, no doubt his long practice an the gentle art of Inserting delectable mor sels of pie into his mouth with a knife without either cutting himself or los ing any of the pie has become nigh perfect. It is a fact advanced by scien tists that a knife with a normal blade will .hold more pie than the more high vember. toned fork, and the use of the knife for by any Hegal regulation nor forbidden by the Insurance men. From long as sociation with all kinds of people, es pecially in the political game, Mr. Jacobson has no doubt discovered that the use of the knife for passing In sus tenance gives a man unquestioned standing among the people. It but nat Jacobson any different, nor would they. Neither wouJd we. There is no doubt that if Mr. Jacobson is elected all the banquets to which he is invited will serve pie just for the edifying spec tacle which will be furnished by the sight of Minnesota's executive distanc ing the sword ewallowers at their own game. But one question we would put to the candidates. Does he press his trousers under the mattress? Topics of the Times Senator Foraker Is a doughty adver sary, but a thorough republican. He fought Taft as long as a fight was pos sible. Now he says he's for the whole republican ticket and he advises every other republican to work for it from top to bottom. Foraker will go on the stump for the Ohio and national re publican candidates.

It is not Secretary Taft any more, but will be Citizen Taft until March 4. Mayor George B. McClellan, of New York, must appear before a justice of the peace in New Brunswick, N. J., next week, to answer a charge of speeding his auto. Maybe he was cele brating his victory over Hearst. At any rate Mayor Ingledue should read this and make sure that he does not let his speedometer slip. Pictures of Secretary Wright resem ble those of Secretary Cortelyou but neither need feel jealous, for they're both good men. by the sharp witted editors The reports from Denver to the efTect that Bryan will be nominated are the most cheering news that could come from that city—to the republicans. The snow that fell on the democrats who arrived at Denver for the conven tion was not a marker in its chill to the cold deal that will overtake their ticket in the fall. President Castro, of Venezuela, says he will force the asphalt trust to pay the $10,000,000 fine imposed upon it. The United States will watch the Ven ezuelan's course with interest as it may reveal how Uncle Sam may collect that $29,000,000 fine assessed by Judge Lan dls against the Standard Oil company. unallv follows that a man who can pur- emphatically our choice for the place. At this time he to emphatic sue this intrepid habit with no unto ward results Is to be looked upon with that respect which Is almost awe. Mr. Eddy informs us that the Min- TnAnVkonn antr ri I fforotl tint* WrtllM thftV Old Grumps—"If nature had m'ade cooking.' "That would be fine,"' answerfed his imperturbable wife. "Then I could get some plumes for my hat."—London Globe.' It looks as tho the choice for presi dent in the fall would be limited, with nothing but Bills to select from. If Mr. Bryan does not run out of olive branches before he is thru we miss our guess. He's holding them out to the Cleveland men, to the colored man, to W. R. Hearst, and even to Roger Sullivan, whom he once charac terized as a train robber and asked to resign from the national committee. Those who had money to burn were able to use It for that purpose Satur day. V'-, v-f All the cleaning up that comes after the Fourth of July is almost as dis agreeable as the dark brown taste. It's like a procession of lumbermen, the way those democratic delegates are to be at least carrying planks to Denver. It's going to in Minnesota, if he interesting to see how many of the planks transported to t'he Queen City of the Plains will be incorporated in the platform, for the democrats have been repeating that their platform is going to be brief, a retovm devoutly to be wished when we take Into consider ation the verbosity of some of the doc uments of this class which have been inflicted on the voters. A tabloid plat form, easy to digest, and yet sound enough to be of some value as a polit ical instrument, will set a welcome pre cedent. Captain Deforest Chandler, of the United States signal corps was lament- ing in Washington the numerous bal loon accidents that have recently oc curred. Captain Chandler, hlm.self an expert aeronaut, concluded: "But inexperience Is usually to be blamed for these accidents. The aero naut goes up alone before he has thor oughly learned his business. Indeed, I have seen some aeronauts so untried that they remind me of an episode that befell my tailor.

To these he is a man of great talents, fine ideals and positive convictions, mostly in the in terests of the people." Col. Lafayette Young, who occupied a seat adjacent to one of the aisles near the front, at once became the central focus toward which all eyes were turned. But the colonel feigned obliviousness to being in the spot light and stared fiercely thru his glasses at the man on the platfonm. Governor Johnson caused some aud ible merriment by a slip of the tongue, when in referring to the approaching democratic national convention at Denver, inadvertently mentioned Lin coln. Nebraska, as the meeting place of that august assemblage. The pal pable fact that Lincoln is the residence of Mr. Bryan, and that he is notor iously dictating to the managers at Denver what they shall and shall not do as to candidates, platform and pol icies. appealed ludicrously to the aud itors.

(Special Washington Correspondence) Des Moines, July 7.—Dr. L. O. How ard, entomologist of the department of agriculture, has long had unifer sus picion the house fly—the ordinary fly of "the garden variety—and he has set aJbout the accumulation of evidence against this Insect. He considers the fly a most pestiferous creature and he is seetaiog to llnd out to what extent It la responsible for the spread of ty phoid fever and other communicable diseases. Dr. Howard has conducted already a great many investigations of the house fly and he is about convinced 'that it is a genuine source of danger to the health of humankind. He says that while it has been demonstrated that the mosquito spreads yellow fever and malaria, the house fly spreads ty phoid, cholera infantum and various other diseases. The possibilities of the fly for evil may be Judged from the assertion of Dr. Howard that the num ber of bacteria on a single fly may range from 550 to 6,600,000. In the early part of the season, the number of bacteria Is comparatively small, but later in the season, It is much larger. The Investigations started by Dr. Howard will have special reference to the part played by the house fly in the spread of typhoid fever, tho much oth er valuable Information will be accu mulated. In connection with the ex haustive inquiry that has been car ried on here concerning the origin of typhoid in the district the investiga tions will no doubt be of general im portance to the country and to the medical and sanitary world. The work of collecting fly statistics was begun a month ago and will be kept up until October, when the season for flies is practically over. Large numbers of flies are being cotlleoted from every section of the city, from stores, market stands, private houses and elsewhere. They are collected by use of fly paper and then are taken to the department of agriculture and counted and exam inations -will be made to determine what disease germs the flies car ry. Records will be kept of the number of flies collected in each sec tion of the city and when the annual typhoid season comes on in Washing ton It will be observed whether ty phoid is not the most prevalent In those quarters where for one reason or an other flies are most numerous. Dr. Howard has asked citizens to co operate in the work of gathering files and many of them are taking a deep interest in the studies he Is making.' Dr. Howard is confident that people do not realize the danger to health that lies in the presence near the house of stables, markets, dairies and the like, from which files swarm into win dows and doors of nearby homes, car rying germs of disease with them otherwise more minute attention wotild be given to screening and other forms of protection from flies. It is pointed out that the automobile to a certain extent is contributing to health in the residence sections of Washington by diminishing the number of livery sta bles and replacing them with garages, thus lessening the number of flies li) these sections. WANT CONVICT PRESIDENT. Socialist Labor Tioket Nominates, Man in Jail at Goldfield. (New York, July 7.—Candidates for president and vice (president of the United States were nominated and a platform was adopted by the national convention of the socialist labor party here. The ticket named is as follows: iFor president, Martin R. Preston, of Nevada for vice president, Donald Munro, of Virginia. The nomination of (President OPreston was "unanimous. The candidate was placed in nomina tion Iby Daniel De Leon, who charac terized the man he was namdng as an honest working man, not a profession al working man, and added: "The naime of that man is Martin R. Preston, and he is .now in Jail at Gold field, Nev. Preston is in Jail today for conduct that is honorable and which no working man should be ashamed of." De Leon explained -tJhat Preston had been sentenced to twenty-iflve years' imprisonment for shooting a restau rant keeper in Goldfield.

D., July 7.—Did Frank Sheipherd, animated tby a hatred for F. M. Cox, go to his death with a lie on his lips when ihe made the ante mortem statement accusing Cox of fldllinj* him? This is the question that 1s agitat ing this community. Shepherd was shot and killed last week, and Just'be fore he died declared that Cox done the shooting. At first the ment was a/ccepted, 'but later develop ments are t«ndlng to prove that It was either false or incorrect. •Cox and his soA Henry have been working at the Ideal mine. On the night of the murder Cox claims to have gone to bed at 7 octook and this state ment is substantiated by the. men at the Ideal boarding house. If this is true •Cox was at the time of the murder Three in lies away from the spot where opfnprf'l Pnv la nn old nifin find it is said to be a physical impossibility 5L' ue- smte ,'flop- for a man of his age to have covered the three indies to Shepherd's place over a mountain road between the time Cox was seen to go to bed and the time of the killing. The case has aroused a great deal of interest In the southern hills, and sentiment, which at ilirst was strong against Cox, is now entirely in his favor, as it is be lieved that either Shepherd was lying or mistaken when he said that Cox did the deed. ARMED FANATICS DEFY POLICE Officers Hurried From Winnpeg to Disperse Band of Dukhobors. Winnipeg, July 6.—A detachment of twenty royal northwest mounted police left early today for Pierson, Msm., twenty-flve miles north of the North Dakota boundary line, where armed re ligious fanatics are camping In langa numbers, including a few women and children. The band came from North Dakota on Saturday armed with rifles. The leader claims to be Jesus Christ and $ays his wife is the Virgin Mary. They are on their way to Join the Dukhoborj near Yorktown, Sask. On being ordered to disperse by the police Sunday, they formed a half cir cle, presenting arms and threatened to shoot all who interfered. It was then that the mounted police were summon ed. Nothing is known here of the najtion allty or antecedents of the sect be yond the faat that they are traveling on foot in much the same manner as the Dukhobor pilgrims and forcing their young children to Join in the march. Their burdens consist chiefly of heavy firearms, which, it la feared they may use indiscriminately. They are carrying a very slim supply of food. A man going by the name of John King is their leader. Plerson is a little town In southwest ern Manitoba, but a few miles from the eastern border of the province of Saskatchewan. CUT DOWN CHERRY TREE. Hoosier Make* Sure Wife Will Not Get Hurt in Picking Fruit. Logansport, Ind., July 6.—Harry Warrick, county assessor, says that he is not superstitious, but he Just wants to be on the safe side. Yestec day he cut down a big cherry tree at his home, outside the city, so that hla wife could pick the luscious fruit without climbing up in the -tree. An epidemic of cherry tree accidents has swepl over the country since cher ries became ripe, anid many fair chewy pickers have fallen and broken arms, legs and dislocated shoulders. In ev ery case a woman has been the vic tim. Five in all have been seriously hurt, and many others have received painful bruises. Warrick was unable to pick the cherries himself he could not get any one to do it for him, and bis wife for several days threatened to climb the tree and pick them herself. Fearing that she would be another victim, Warrick yesterday morning be fore going to work, got Ms little hat chet and followed the example of the Immoral George—he cut down the cherry tree. His wife then leisurely picked the cherries while standing on bhe gro-und. PORT AU PRINCE FIRE SWEPT. Four Hundred Buildings Are Destroyed Inoluding Court House and Arsenal. Port au Prince, Haytl, July 6.—A serious fire broke out here Sunday af ternoon in the vicinity of the palace and senate building. Four hundred buildings were burned, Including the court house and the prison. All of the prisoners, who included a number of women, were taken to other quarters before the buildings took fire. Sparks were carried to the arsenal, which was also burned, together with stores of powder and munitions. The destruction of the arsenal was accom panied by many explosions. The fire men were aided by a large section of the populace In fighting the flames and a force from the French cruiser Chasse-loup-Laubat, but notwithstand ing their efforts it seemed almost im possible to prevent the further spread of the conflagration-. For a time panic prevailed, but later, as the intensity of the fire diminished, the people became more calm, tho heavy explosions In the arsenal con tinued. Several hours after the fire started the landing station of the ca ble company, which is located near the arsenal, was surrounded by flames, and it is probable that communication by that means will soon be interrupted. RISKS LIFE TO SAVE PARTY. .Fisherman Swims Mile and a Half to Rescue Companion. San Diego, Oal., July 6.—Claude Mc Lemar, a fisherman of this city, swam a mile and a half from his little craft to the Del Mar beach to save the lives of a fishing party in a launch. With Elmer dapp and several others, Mc Lemar put out from La Jolla in the launch for the Del Mar banks.* After a day's fishing the start was made fon home, but th® engine broke down. The wind was carrying the boat toward the rocks south of Del Mar. McLemar then Jumped Into the sea and swam for the shore. To reach It he had to pass thru a line of breakers. After a terrific battle with the waves he finally reached the beach completely exhausted, told his story to residents of Del Mar, and they .telephoned to La Tolla. From this latter place a launch was sent out and toward the other craft back to port. 'THINKS SHE IS BEWITCHED. Pennsylvania Girl Seeka a Kinky Lock of Hair as a Cure. Pottatown, Pa., July 6.—Mary, daughter of John Symanski, residing in Walnut street, tells a singular story that has a flavor of the old witchcraft days and sheds keeping a wattfh night and day on the person she believes put the "spell" on her. Wild eyed and haggard looking, she told how in robust health she .was sud denly made dizzy and nervous and un fitted for work. She alleges tihat an old colored man bewitched her, and she is now waiting for an opportunity "to pull out some of his hair, which she will take 'to a Reading witch doctor, who promises thus to break the spell.

Sold by-McBride WlB. 1 _,r Tim^g-%cpJiftca(ti! fouKi# Julgr 7 1908 THE CAPTAIN OF the The general attitude of the crew was one of renl annoyance that the fight had not been carried on at close quar ters. The Kansas bore tokens In plen ty of the battle. Many bullets and ar rows had struck the ship, the canvas was torn In several places, a number of port lights were broken, and the open decks, fore and aft as well as the spar deck, were littered with stones. He picked up some of these missiles, man's earliest and latest pro jectile. They were round and heavy. A few bore the red streaks of oxidized Iron some appeared to be veritable lumpa of ore. though the action of wa ter had made them "smooth stone out of the brook." He showed one to Tolle niaclie, who seemed to possess a good deal of out of the way knowledge, and the latter instantly prouounced the specimen to be almost pare copper veined with Bllver. The captain saw to the reverent bur ial of poor Pletro Garna, entered full dvtalls of the fight in the ship's log and helpeds Walker to search the sus pected coal for a further supply of dynamite, as the utility of the surface mines had been demonstrated beyond a doubt He thought it possible, given tbe necessary time, to rig a device which would be practically Invisible. fresh set of dummy poles, which the Indians would probably avoid In the event of a second attack, might deflect the canoes into the area of new mines laid at sea level. Their utmost diligence brought to light no further supply of tbe explo sive. Evidently the prepared lumps of coal, each containing a stick of dy namite, which were plnced in the bunker at Valparaiso had been convey ed on board by one man, so it was more than likely there was not anoth er ouuee of the stuff on the ship except the three specimens first discovered. These, water soaked and useless, were locked in a drawer in tbe chart honse. Whllo scrutinizing the bunker Courte nay fouud a grimy piece of paper, crushed into a ball and amalgamated with coal dust by means of the glue or other substance which had been used for making the bombs intended for the destruction of tbe furnaces. He ex amined it carefully, believing it had the appearance and texture of car tridge paper. He placed it in his pocket and, while changing his clothes before Joining the othek-s at supper, came on it again with a certain surprise. He plunged It into a basin of hot water, and It yielded its secret It was the outer wrapper of a stick of dynamite. It bore tbe circular stamp of the manu facturers, tbe Sociedad Anonyma de las Costas del Pacifico. This in Itself meant nothing. The same company probably supplied hundreds of mines with the five pound boxes In which dynamite is packed^ and If the stamp were the only clew, jne could possibly say when or where It had been Issued for use. But miners are apt to be careless. Men accustomed to dynamite will han dle it with an astounding disregard for danger, and here was a case in £oint Some Spanish overseer, evidently at a loss for a memorandum tablet, had scribbled hieroglyphics with an indeli ble pencil on this particular wrapper. It was clear that the figures and ab breviated words referred to the de velopment of a cross heading and the position of certain lodes, but Courte nay was quick to see that the official who made those notes would recognize them hence the mine or store from which the package had been stolen or bought could be identified. Such evi dence waa of highly circumstantial value. Courtenay put the wrapper in the same drawer as the cartridges, en tered In the log the time and manner of its discovery and forthwith dismiss ed It from his mind. It was almost dark when he went on deck. The wind was keen and chilly. It whistled through the broken win dows of tbe wheelhouse and seemed to have in it a promise of bad weather. But a glance alpft and at the sky be yond the southern headland Point Kansas, as It wns called on board—re assured him. The far flung arc over head was cloudless. Tbe stars of the southern Jiemisphere, viyid and bright, though leas familiar than those of the north, were reflected In the black wa ter. The ship was so still, the sur roundings so peaceful, save for the plash of tiny waves created by the breeze, that he was almost startled when a soft voice came from the low er deck: "Where in the world have you been, Captain Courtenay? Joey is fretting for you, and I have carried biiu all over the ship In vain search." His heart jumped with gladness. El sie was awaiting him at the foot of the companion. Be sure he was by her side wltkout needless delay. The dog wriggled in her arm?, so she said: "I don't think he ought to run about His dear littie paw is rather badly cut, and there may be more broken glass ou. the deck." yd j„. -'4 KANSAS By LOUIS TRACY, Author of "The Wings of tb« Morning."

The Spaniard led the English man toward one of the peep­ holes in the canvas screen. Sure enough, the canoes were making off toward Otter creek. In tbe oiurvel ously clear light it was easy to see the threatening arms held out toward the ship by a few men who stood up right Even their rancous cries were yet audible. Courtenay was glad he bad uot missed this demonstration of hatred. It argued the necessity of con tinued watchfulness. *'I hope not, for our Chileans' sake," laughed Courtenay. "I heard Mr. Boyle telling them to sweep It up, and they were bard at work when I went to my cabin." "Oh, Is that where you hid yourself? No wonder I could not find you. Of course Joey knew where you were. How stupid of me!" "Please don't call yourself naroes, Elsie. You don't deserve them. And, by the way, may I address you by your Christian nuine? It slipped out today unawares. Not that I feel like apolo gizing, because I don't There are times when the heart speaks, not the guarded tongue." Luckily the darkness covered the hot blush which leaped to her cheeks. She gave a nervous little laugh and strove desperately to parry this wholly un expected assault. "I shall be delighted If you always call me Elsie. It Bounds friendly, and 1 think our circumstances warrant a true friendship." "Excellent! 1 suppose you know that my name 1s Arthur?" "Yes, but I had no notion of that sort of exchange. You are the captain, and a very serious Bort of captain at times. I feel like a little girl when you look at me and tell me not be naughty, so 'Elsie' sounds all right, but I simply dare not call you 'Art.iur.' Just Imagine what a sensation It wonld create In tbe salon! I should feel creepy all over. And hadn't we better be"— "Elsie," said he, with a tender note in his voice which thrilled her like a chord of exquisite music, "I want to tell you something. The knowledge is forced on me that there is another man on this ship who wishes to make you his wife, but I, too, love you. and I see no reason why I should stand, aside for any man on Ood's earth until yoti tell me with your own lips that you prefer him to me." "Oh!" gasped Elpie and "Ob!" again, but not anot!^" word could she utter, she who had been so voluble a moment' ago. The bittersweet pain of hearing this sudden avowal was almost over powering. Her ideals of honor and truth were shocked, but she was wo man as well as an idealist and she was stirred to the depths of her soul by the knowledge that she had won tbe man whose love she craved. "I want yon to listen to me, Elsie," he said, with a passionate Intensity that stilled the rising storm In her bos om. "Dr. Christobal may have plead ed his own cause already. It li» not for me to cavil at him for doing that, but I cannot lose you without a word. Whether you marry him or me or nei ther of us, I shall love you forever. 1 want you to know that. It Is no new discovery to me. I think my heart went out to you when I carried you In my arms through tbe gale, and since that hour you and 1 have bad experi ences denied to most men and women ere they reach tbe conclusion that they are fit mates for the voyage of lifi. Do you feel that sweetheart? Have we known each other ten days or ten years?" His face was very near to hers now. His arm was around her neck. It was quite dark where they stood 1EI the shadow of tbe bridge. He could not see the tears in her eyes, but be heard her broken answer: "Are you—quite—fair—in using such words to me?" "Fair, Elsie! Fair to whom?" "Because—oh, how can I tell you? Are you free to—to speak to me In this way?" "Elsie, I am pledged to no other wo man, If that is what you mean. Who has been telling you otherwise?" "No one. Indeed—Indeed. 1 alone am to blame. You will be angry with me, but I conld not help it" She could say no more. If sho bad ottered another syllable just then she would have broken down completely. Courtenay placed his band unde'r her chin and lifted her unresisting Hps to his. He kissed her twice and laughed softly, with a glad confidence tha't sent a wave of delight coursing through El sie's veins. "Sweetheart," he whispered, "I am sore you would not have allowed tno to speak so plainly if you were going'to send me away. Now, I don't want you to bind yourself Irrevocably tonight. That would certainly not be fair. I don't know why I am to be angry or what it was you couldn't help, and I don't care a red cent All I want to know is this—If the Kansas brings os both back to the outer world once more, have I as good a chance o(' win ning your love as any other man "But I must tell you. I could not look you In the face If you did not hear It. When I was left alone in your cabin the second time and th# sea cam* In, a packet of letters fell out of some clothes which I picked up from the floor. There was one from your sister. I hardly knew what I was do ing, but I saw her name, 'Madge,' and I read a few words on the half page above her signature." His left arm was now so well estab lished that his hand touched her cheek, and he found it wet with tears. "What wild conceit has crept into your pretty little head?" he cried In amaze, unconsciously raising his voice somewhat "A letter from my sister! She Is -Hie .most straightforward wo man breathing, I assure you. Never a line has she written to me which could frftw any construction such as seems to trouble you. Why. on the contrary. Madge has often chaffed me for being so like herself in giving no thought to matrimony." "It Is horrid of me to peralst, but 1 owe it to you to tell you what I saw. She alluded to your 'affianced wife' and said'that 'under no other circum stances,' whatever they were, would she receive her." Then Courtenay laughed again, and Elsie found it was absolutely essential If Joey were not to be crashed that her head should bend little forward, with the obvious result that it rested on Courtenay's shoulder. "I must show you the whole of that letter," he cried, "and the others which are tied up In the same bundle. You will see me blush, I admit but It will not be from a sense of perfidy. But there Is one thing you have forgotten. Elsie." Ana his voice dropped to a teuse whisper again. "In telling me your secret which is no secret you have given me my answer. Your heart must have crept out a little way to meet mine, dear, or my sister's words would not have perplexed you. So that is why you have avoided me dur ing the past few days! But there! Now, indeed. 1 am not acting qolte fairly. It Is unfair to ask yon to con fess when 1 want you to wait until we win clear of our present difficulties be fore you decide whether or not you can find it to your liking to make a poor sailor man happy." Joey was a highly accommodating dog ander certain conditions. He bad curled up so complacently that Elsie found she could bold him quite easily with one arm. So the other went out In the darkness until it rested timidly on her lover's disengaged shoulder. "It is easy to confess that which is already known," sher murmured. "Whether we are fated to live one day or fifty years, it will be all tbe same to me, dear." She lifted her face again to Ills and would have returned the kisses he gave her were It not that they lost their one Bided character this time. There was a chance that Joey might have been partly suffocated, tbougb to all abearance he meant to die a will ing martyr, had not Suarez leaned over the upper rail and asked in his grating accent if he heard the sen or captain's voice below. f,! (To Be Continued.) BALLOON RACE A THRILLER. San Antonio Travels 800 Miles and Lands in Canada. Chicago. July 6.—Spectacular" to 'an almost unparalled degree and full of thrilling Incidents was the race for aerial honors which came to an end at 6 o'clock last night, when the Field Ing-San Antonio, with Dr. F. J. Field ing and Captain H. B. Honeywell in the car, dropped at West Sheffiord, In the province of Quebec, a distance of approximately 800 miles from Chicago. While the Fielding-San Antonio failed to establish a new record for long dis tance flight, she kept the air five hours longer than her closest rival, the Illi nois, was declared the winner. The two balloons 'had followed an al most parallel course during their long flight In the air, and both were sighted from Ploton, Out. at 11:30 o'clock in the morning. Shortly afterward the Illinois was seen to plunge rapidly downward. Below stretched the ex panse of the Bay of Qulnte, a small body of water about five miles from FMcton. The car's pilot, J. L. Case, and •his assistant, C. H. Perrlgo, emptied said desperately in an attempt to keep the balloon In the air, but her flight was over and their efforts proved fu tile. The men were plunged into the waters of the bay, (Whence they were rescued by the crew of a pleasure craft. The most spectacular features of the long-distance event, however, were furnished by the French balloon, Vllle de Dieppe, and the Columbia. The oc cupants of both escaped death -by so narrow a margin that if the fllg'ht were considered from that viewpoint alone, It would be notable. The Vllle de Xieppe fell Into Lake MIohlgan at a point about three milta directly off the west shore and her pil ot, Captain A. E. Mueller, with his 15 year-old assistant, George Schoeneck, battled In the darkness for three-quar ters on an hour, half submerged in the water. By a display of extraordinary coolness and skill Captain Mueller contrived to save his own life and that of the boy and to bring his baloon ashore Intact. To do this he sacrificed every ounce of ballast, cast loose his anchor and his ground rope, and took his chances In the upper air, knowing, that he must later make a landing In .the darkness. The story of his escape from what seemed certain death was recited yes terday by the captain with a cheerful Insouciance that savored not the least of bravado. The United States, the Chicago and the Columbia came down in adjoining counties In the Province of Ontario, Canada, soon after daybreak Sunday morning, at distances ranging froiA 400 to 600 miles from the starting point. The Cincinnati, which bumped Into eleotric light wires as it was leav ing the grounds, was dropped by Pilot Leslie Haddock at Covert, Mich., on the east shore of Lake Michigan not far north of Benton Harbor. The United States, Colonel A. P. Shirley In charge, touched the earth mile east of Pinkerton Station, Bruce county, Ontario, more than 500 miles northeast of Chicago. Colonel Shirley dropped his ground rope at 9:30 o'elock in the morning without acci dent. GRANDMOTHER A CRACK SHOT. At Twenty Paces, With Revolver, Kills a Big Rattlesnake. •Chamberlain, S.

And Increased Salary as a Result of Eating Right Food. There Is not only comfort .in eating food that nourishes brain and body but sometimes it helps a lot in increasing one's salary. A Kans. school teacher tells an in teresting experience. She says: "About two years ago I was ex tremely miserable from a nervousness that had ibeen coming on for some time. Any sudden noise was actually painful to me and my nights were made .miserable by horrible nightmare. "I was losing flesh all the time and at last was obliged to give up the school I was teaching and go home. "Mother put me to bed and sent for •the doctor. I was so nervous the cotton sheets, gave me a chill and they put me in woolens.. The medicine I took did me no apparent good. Finally, a neigh bor suggested that Grape-Nuts might be good for me to eat. I had never heard of this food, but the name sounded good so I decided to try it. "I began to eat Grape-Nuts and soon found my reserve energy growing so that in a short time I was filling a better position and drawing a larger salary than I had ever done before. "As I see little children playing around me and enter into their games I wonder If I ain the same teacher of whom, two years ago, the children spoke as 'ugly old thing.'

Hav ing been secretary of the embassy in r:ome for many years, Mr. Iddings can well quality as an expert. During the secretaryship it appears that relatives of an expatriated Italian who had come to the United State3 were endeavoring to locate their long lost dear one, having heard thru friends who had returned to the na tive village In the Apennlne mountains that he was making mints of money in America. Their inquiries, in the form of an appeal, were drawn up by the en lightened mayor of the village, who forwarded them to the British embassy In Rome, possibly after a careful study of his own prehistoric atlas. Mr. Jardine Kidson, the British charge d'affaires, who received the communication, referred it to 'the at tention of the American embassy, in closing the document wltih a note to this effect: "My Dear Iddings: Can you do any thing for the applicant, the mayor of Rocoacannuccia?

The first institution in America that distressed me was the steam heat. It is far more manageable now than it was, both in hotels and theaters, because there are more individual heaters.

At Toledo once It nearly went altogether. Then the next niglht, after a good fight, we got the theater cool, and the difference to the play was ex traordinary. If I did not' liike steam heat I loved loved the Ice which is such a feature at AmericanA meals. Everything is served on ice!

FOr six entire days the whole populace ate out of the cup board until it became as bare as the proverbial article once the property of Old Mother Hubbard. During Its ses sions the old town had mudh the ap pearance of Goldsmith's Deserted Vil lage. People who did not treat Mr. Rheinfmnk civilly while making his canvass bought ticket* and never missed a session. Nothing the town has ever -had so delighted the people. This is proven by .the pledge of season tickets for next year. With a population of only 1,6.23, the West Liberty people sub scribed for 1.396 ti-ckets for the Chau tauqua of 1909. The first oall brought 950 subscriptions. The platform man ager telephoned this news to .head quarters at Cedar Rapids and back came the intelligence that the people of LaCrosse, Wis., had subscribed 1, 200. LaiCrosse has a population of .2-8,895. A second call for subscriptions raJsed the number to 1,398, and West Liberty not only took the caike, but the whole bakery. The -highest possible .moral and up lifting addresses, music and enter tainment ran thru the whole assem bly. Not a word was said nor a thing done at which the most sensi tive person could take exception. The platform manager, the young men in Chafgfe of the tent, the lec turers, entertainers and singers con ducted themselves as gentlemen and ladles of high degree. The complete program as advertised was given with out a skip or break, except the sub stitution of Dr. McGurk for Dr. Win ship, and this was no calamity. The management delivered the talent as advertised and when advertised. There were no camp followers no three-cord monte or shell game sharks on the side. It was the clean est, .most moral' and elevating thing the writer has ever seen under can vas. Altho West ILlberty Is af littlr country town In a purely agricultural community, the Riedpath system is hereby admonished that its tent next year must be at least one-half larger to accommodate Its patrons. I IRIGMEIER DEMANDS HEARING. Is Unable, However, to iPut Up Bond of $1,000. iNorma/n Tt'lgmeler, the LaMoille farm hand Who was arrested Friday night at eioux Falls, S. D., while passing as the husband of Mrs. Her bert Bishop, Wife of a LaMollle far mer, has demanded an Immediate pre liminary hearing before Judge Skin ner, of iSiou* Falls. ORlgmeler has em ployed counsel, and the attorney made an application for a change of venue, which was granted. His bond was •fixed at *1,000, which he was unable to furnish. (Efforts are being continued, on the part of Bishop, who filed .the statuatory charge against the oouple, to have thr case against Mrs. Bishop dismissed. A telegram to the T.-R. says that It is feared by the state's attorney that. If left to Bishop, to testify against his wife and Rigme.ier as the complaining witness, tfhe state would be practically helpless to secure a conviction.

Farm mares were very dull sale, coun try demand toeing slim since the rush of farm work Is iver. On sale were many well used farm horses, which showed the effects of a season's hard work, which found few buyers. Prospects do not appear favorable for a very good demand this week. Most dealers along the line are In clined to view the 'Immediate future as unfavorable for selling any classes.

TOarshalttewn Iowa fulg 7 1908 JJenver Convention Hears Orders of Great Chief at Lincoln in Opening Speech LATE CONGRESS IS ARRAIGNED Failure to Enact Certain Measures Is Criticized—Fault Found With Chica­ go Platform and Sincerity of Repub­ lican Convention Is Questioned— Tariff and Other Questions. Denver, July 7.—Following is a por tion of the speech of Theodore A. Bell, temporary chairman of the democratic national convention, delivered when the convention met today: "Apparent to every one Is the fact that way down deep fn the heart of the republican convention at Chicago there was a feeling of anger and re sentment over the popular clamor for reforms and it is equally patent that there is no bona tide intention on the part of the republican party of grant ing any reforms, if the machinery of that party can be retained in present hands. Its paper platform, divided like ancient gaul into three parts—bar ren promises, makeshifts and evasions, it is hoped will make a good cam paign transparency but no one seri ously believes Che republican party in dorses that neutral manuscript which held the convention together until It could ratify the nomination of a pres« identiai candidate. Work Cut Out for Convention. "There are three things that this convention should do. It ought to present in a plain and Intelligible man ner the serious industrial and pres ent conditions that are disturbing the peace and happiness of our country. We should then proceed to a courage ous exposure of the republican policies that are -co-operating with private greed in the general oppression of the people. Most important of all. we must exhibit a readiness and an ability to grasp the problems of the hour and to effect their solution In a manner that will satisfy the sober, common sense of tihe multitudes whose interests are at stake. Congress is Arraigned. "The last congress was In session during a financiial crisis when innumer able banking institutions, proffering a holiday to a funeral, closed their doors and filled the minds of the mill ions of depositors with anxiety and fear. The sentiment in favor r»f pos tal savings banks which had been steadily growing in this country, be came almost universal during the re cent panic. So insistent became the voice of the people that the president sent a. special message to congress urg ing the establishment of postal savings banks where the earnings of our peo ple might, be .safely deposited under the direct control and rcspinslbility of the federal government, and where no peculating bank cashier or any mem ber of the- board of directors could eat up the savings of years. "The United States senate showed its hearty sympathy with this popu lar demand and its profound respect for the president by adjourning the senate while the message was being read while over In the house of rep resentatives they refused to suspend the roll call of the house to receive the communication which had been sent there fro rathe white house. Chicago Platform Criticized. -1' "The Chicago platform points With pride to the passage of a child labor law for the District of Columbia. Let the republican party go further than the enactment of penal laws and In the name of -humanity use its vast ener gies for the removal of the conditions that are forcing our children into the labor market. "It is the reign of monopoly that is emptying our school houses and filling the sweat shops with child labor and this same system of monopoly is fast limiting the opportunities for indepen dent livelihood among those who are forced into the industrial field and thus It is doubly blighting that hope of youth which in former stages of our national growth opened an avenue of honor and independence to every child reared upon our soil. "The most palpable Instance of the insincerity of the Chicago platform is found in its declaration respecting the issuance", of injunctions. It would have been entitled to more respect if it had omitted all men tion of it. At session after session of congress, labor has pleaded for relief from the abuses of injunctions, but It appeals have fallen on deaf ears and there has been indication that remed ial legislation of any character would be enacted. The oligarchy in house and senate has decided that nothing shall be done to weaken any advantage that corporations have gained in .labor dis putes. Attitude Towards Tariff Reform. "With the power and opportunity to carry out democratic principles, we will be called upon to revise our tar iff laws in the interests of the whole people. This issue can not be disposed of by certain assertion that the repub lican party also stands for tariff re form. Republican revision and demo­ cratic revision are two different things. "The democratic idea Is that where the tariff enables the trusts to main tain a system of extortion the duty should be removed from all trust-made goods, so that competition from abroad may compel reasonable prices to our own people. There is a vast difference between the protection of American in dustries and the protection of criminal monopolies. News of Grinnell. Special. to Tlmes-Repubiican.5 Grinnell, July 7.—V. G. Prestjpii jand family left yesterday morning for Clear Lake, at whioh pleasurre :reisort they expeot to spend the next two weeks. Collections were taken in the churches of this city on Sunday last, as per previous announcement, for the aid of the -cyclone sufferers of Millers burg-. 111., who were so prompt in their unsolicited efforts to relieve the suf ferers of Grinnell from the same cause in 1882. But the attendance at the churches was small, after tha. -excise men of the national holiday precfe.lirig, and there are many who have not yet been reached who would doubtless be glad to contribute something in answer to this appeal. Mayor Wiley has called upon -the people to leave their gifts for this purpose at the Savings Bank, Where t-hey will be united with what has already been collected, and forwarded to the needy very soon. Prank Vaughn, formerly proprietor with E. S. Wetherbee, of the Grinnell Gazette, but for the past -two years a farmer near Montezuma, has recently purchased tlje O'Brien County Demo crat. and has just gone to Primghar to ta-ke possession. Under the head of "corn," a Des Moines writer vays: "If corn Is almost knee high on the 4th of July, all Is well. But this year there Is no knee high corn outside of the gardens, where it has had special care." This may be' true of the corn In the vicin ity Otf Des Moines, but will not apply to the country about Grinnell. Within a radius of six miles around this city are thousands of acres of corn prac tically "knee high" and many a field that is much beyond that. Add to this the fact that the corn is of excellent color, and has been enabled by the cool rainy weather to get a very strong root, and there is little to Tear regard ing the crop if there be go5d weather for corn growing for the next two months, and the frost holds off until the usual time in the fall. The only ex ceptions to this condition are on very flat lands, where the water stood so long as to stunt the. corn and practic ally drown it out. The hay and grain crops could hardly promise better than they do at present writing. The sympathy of friends and ac quaintances goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Carl. Coulson, whose infant son died of measles and pneumonia on Satur day night. The funeral took place yes terday morning, conducted by Rev. J. A. Hurley, and the little body was laid to rest In Hazelwood. The injunction served by Clark, Coutts and Beyer upon J. L. Inman. which tied up his stock of groceries in the A. P. Peirce grocery on Broad street, pending t.he settlement of a lease on the building, has been dis solved. and Mr. Inman is moving his stock of goods today to Marshalltown Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Haines have re turned from a very pleasant ten days' out.ing. partly .spent at Clear bake, and the rest at the -home of Mr. Haines' brother. Dr. James Haines, at Still water. Minn.

Many friends here Join in con gratulations upon the prospect of health. Mr. and Mrs. A. P.
