Nf Active Work to Be Carriod on From Now Until Legislu ture Meets BIG MEETING TO BE HELD SOON Lines Along Which Work Will Be Pushed to Be Determined Upon—Do bats^le Questions Are Mortgages and l\^-iea and Credits—Stooks and Bonds Exemption Widely Favored. Special to Tlmes-Repu'bllcun. Des Moines, July 16—The'lowa Tax Revision association may have some difficulties competing for popular at tention during the next ten weeks of the campaign, but it proposes to carry Its campaign for a revision of the tax laws along till the time when the leg islature meets. The association pro poses to hold a big meeting In Des Moines some time within a few week3. Thus far the association is not pledged to any particular line of tax reform. At the meeting soon to be held, how ever, there probably will be an agree ment as to Just what will be asked of the legislature. For the present it is deemed sufficient that all should be in favor of revision. It is taken as granted that all are ready to concede that the present tax system Is bad and needs revision. The lines along which the commis sion Is working are not difficult of comprehension. It Is taken as a for gone conclusion that there will ever be assessment and taxation of real es tate. The question of taxation of mortgages and monies and credits and personal property and slocks and bonds Is a debatable one, first as to whether they should be taxed at all or not and second if taxed how. There is considerable senti ment for exempting stocks and bonds. It Is claimed- that outside of bank stock there is very llt fJe stocks and bonds ever found by the assessor and it Is not believed that it ever will be all returned under any kind of a law. It is furthermore argued that the concern Issuing the stocks and bonds pays taxes once so that the fur ther tax Is a double tax. On the question of mortgages there is much sentiment in favor of adopting the Minnesota proposition of fixing a recording tax of 50 cents on each $100. This is one-half of 1 per cent and where the mortgage is recorded for a five-year period It amounts to very little. The vital point in the taxation of mortgages is the fact that a for eign corporation owning mortgages on Iowa property does not have to pay any tax while the local Iowa man who owns a mortgage on his neighbors' property does have to pay tax. It is believed that by fixing a mortgage tas: that the discrimination would be re moved and money on mortgage secur ities could be had at a less rate of in terest and furthermore the burden would be on all mortgages for the rea son that they could not be recorded unless they paid the tax. Ex-Mayor Pierce of Marshalltowr. who is one of the leaders of the tas: revision association believes that one of the greatest needs In Iowa is the clothing with power for some commis sion or the executive council to really have charge of the assessment for the entire state. In many states there are permanent tax commissions. New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas all have permanent commis sions. In most states these commissions have actual power beyond that of equalizing assessments. Where the lo cal authorities have not done a proper Job of assessing a county the state commission has authority to order it done over again. This works so that there is an actual adjustment over the state. The question of railroad taxation has not been gone into in the deeper sense bv the association to any great extent tho one of the professors at th* State Agricultural College Is now working along that line. It Is prob able that the association will* urga some changes in the taxation of ter minals for the benefit of the cities. s/ /^4?is ~i\ '1 |||p Patience is ceasing to he a virtue with the trustees of the State Agricul tural College at Ames in the matter of the electric railroad that passes thr the grounds and when the trustees are not entertaining hard thoughts against the road for not filling its promisesi, they are discussing the legislature and asking why the legislature should be so determined to put clogs In the COST wheels of progress. The legislature allowed the electrics! road to go thru the grounds at Ames and allowed the trustees to make the contract but left it to the executive council to enforce the contract. With this three cornered arrangement !t takes weeks to get anything done. The depot has not been built yet and the company has promised a 20 minute service and is giving only 'a 30 minute service. It keeps promising but the trustees seem not satisfied with prom ises. LARGEST FUNERAL AT BOONE. Services Held Over Ed Collins, Young Man Drowned Sunday. Special to Times-Republican.

This fact of itself would not call forth any .par ticular comment. When, however, It Is known that the two brothers, Wes ley and Joseph, had not seen each other for thirty-seven years, It be comes interesting. It was in the winter of 1870-71 that Joseph Jones paid a flying visit to his 'brother, and since that time the one has lived at Ute and the othef at Macedonia or Harlan, not mora than seventy-five miles apart at any time, y«t neither had seen the other or written in all that" time. One had been married in the meantime and both had raised a family of men and women who in turn had married and had families. There was no estrange ment between them and each had a brotherly feeling for the other, but had become careless and contented themselves with occasionally hearing from each other thru relatives and friends.

Arrangements are fast being "per fected for the celebration on the 23d. A telegram was sent to Tom Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio yesterday, asking liini to answer by wire whether or not ho would be able to speak here and It is expected also to have other noted speakers. Arrangements have been made to burn red fire galore along the main streets of the city and to parade thru these streets with all the demo orals of Des Moines any as many of the democrats of Iowa as can be In duced to come to this city. W. G. Copeland Is to be the marshal of (he day and one of the features he pi cruises is to be 9 company of boys not .vot old enough ito vnjIc, who will be in the parade. The big meeting Is to be held In the base ball park down town if satisfactory arrangements for the park can be made. "At the next meeting of tho state central committee 'the Bryan Volun teers will make a complete report to the. state central committee of all the money that has been received and all that has been spent," said T. J. Meals, the secretary 'today. "Some have ad vocated that the Bryan Volunteers should now disband and for a time we thought some of doing so but on sec ond thought It has been determined best not to. It is thought that the volunteers will be able to very greatly assist the state oommlttee and can do some things that the state committee could not do. The volunteers will be subordinate to the state committee. There will bo but one head to the campaign and that will be ithe state chairman. We have organized many of the counties of the state and can turn over these organisations to the state committee and' wo will be able to or ganize many more counties tp.^urn er to them."

Luther Stevens, Des Moines Iowa's annual contribution to the white plague is oVer 2,000 human lives at a financial loss of more than $4, 000,000. And tuberculosis Is a prevent able disease. It Is almost Inconceiv able that a state whose people are among the most Intelligent and pro gressive In the nation will permit such an aippalling sacrifice to be made year after year. This fearful tribute de manded from Iowa by consumption is another illustration that Ignorance and Inaction may bring a people to accept an Intolerable condition as a neoessary part of Its existence. But tuberculosis ls a preventable disease and can be stamped out. A vegetable germ is ithe cause of our trouble. We must make war on It. We must destroy It, or It will destroy us. We must depend upon popular educa tion in our combat against consump tion. It is a disease of the masses ACT QUICKLY. Delay Has Been Dangerous in Mar* shalltown. Do ithe right thing at the right time. Act quickly in times of danger. Backache is kidney danger. Doan's Kidney Pills act quickly. Cure all distressing, dangerous kid ney Ills. Plenty of evidence to prove this Mrs. Martha J. Bennett, 208 West Boone street, Marshalltown, la., says: "Fpr a long time" I suffered from a dis tressing case of kidney trouble. I had terrible pains 'thru my back and loins and the action of my kidneys was ir regular and annoying. I spent many restless nights owing to the frequent necessity oft voiding- the secretions which were always accompanied by sharp, burning ,pains. I finally pro cured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at McBride Will Drug Co.'s store and I can say that they have given me wonderful relief. They cured away the impurities in my kidneys causing them to assume a regular and natural con dition, and 'the pains in my back have almost entirely disappeared. I can now sleep well at night and I feel better In every way. I am still using Doan's Kidney Pills and I feel very grateful for the benefit I have-derived from their use." For sale by all dealers.

Intelli gent repressive measures will have Im mediate effect in the limitation bf this disease. Therefore has the board of control inaugurated an extonslve educational movement In Iowa. Lectures, literature and the press all are agencies employed by the board to give tho people knowl edge of prevention and cure of tuber culosis. And It Is desirable to bring In to requisition every social and educa tional force in the state, for the com bat against this plague belongs to no one class but to all the people. The ontrol of tuberculosis is a community matter dependent upon organized so ciety, but tho people must bo taught that it is an Infectious disease trans mitted by a germ found in tho sputum from tho lungs of a consumptive per son that such diseased person is dan gerous only when he coughs and his sputum Is not destroyed In Its moist state that spitting on sidewalks or in public places of resort, using a com mon drinking cup, kissing, or hand shaking are methods by which con sumption Is spread from one person to another that tuberculosis Is frequent ly found in cattle and hogs and may be communicated in milk and meat. This knowledge will bring power to the local government and repressive meas ures will be adopted which will sup press the ravages of this community disease. Congressman B. P. fllrdsall, member of the committee on rivers and har bors, addressed the annual meeting of the Iowa Grain Dealers' association at the banquet at tho Savery on the sub ject. of "The Improvement of the Waterways." He explained the plan which Is creating Interest thruout the country, of the general Improvement of all the waterways In the United States and making them navigable streams, capable of carrying a large share of the commerce of the country. "There are from 800 to 900 miles of waterways In the state of Iowa that could be profitably canalized and made to carry freight," said the speaker. He then illustrated how the commerce of this country is Increasing to where It will soon be Impossible for the rail road's to handle, as the Increasing cost of railroads and terminal facilities will prohibit the building of Toads fast enough to meet the demand for trans portation. On the other hand the comparatively low cost of adequate waterways will result sooner or later In tho improvement of nearly every stream In the whole country. Mr. Bird sail also spoke of what has befen done In other countries along this line "t &ALOONI4TS WANT MONEY BACK. Seek Recovery 6? Money Paid Over to Attorney C. W. Neal. Davenport, July 16.—Since the recent decision of the supreme court, ren dered several days ago, in which all partial decrees rendered in connection with the mulct law, are declared In valid and of no effect, several Daven port ^saloonkeepers have decided to consult an attorney with a view of bringing action of possible, for the re covery of the money they paid over to Attorney C. W. Neal on the decrees se cured by him. The decision of the supreme court completely knocks out the Neal de crees. Inasmuch as they are declared illegal by the supreme court, the sa loonkeepers claim they were wrong fully taxed for the costs, including the $25 attorney fee in each case, and now they propose to recover this amount if possible. The saloonkeepers realize that At torney C. W. Neal is now beyond their reach and it would be impossi ble to recover from him any part of the 16,000 out of which they allege they were mulcted. But on the other hand, the saloonkeepers claim they did not give the money to Attorney Neal. They were compelled by the court to turn it into the county qlerji's office find it was then paid oy,er. to Oaptain Neal from this office. They therefore feel, that Scott county h^d a ,part In the transaction. Inas much as a court cannot be sued, some of the saloonkeepers are In favor of trying to recover the amount from the county. r«"« 1, *i4 t* PATENTS PRESSED STEEL PUMP. C. L.

Special to Tlmes-Ropubllcan. Council Bluffs, July 16.—J. R. IVuig, one of the Instructors in the Iowa school for the deaf as woll as others employed by the state Irt tho same ca pacity here, declared, today after re turning from' tiie national association meeting at Ogdcn, that had It not been for the fact that the teachers were re engaged for next year, and had signed their contracts before the close of tho past year's school, postponement of the lone-delayed extension of thestreotcar line to tho school from Council Bluffs would have cost the Iowa Institution several of its best teachers, who were members of the party which attended the national gathering of .the deaf In Ogden. The Iowa teachers received numer ous. offers to locate elsewhere, with equal or better salaries, and where they would have social advantages necessarily Impossible here on account of the isolation of the Iowa institution, due to the lack of transportation fa cilities. The combined efforts of the people of Council Bluffs have availed nothing with the Council Bluffs and Omaha Street Car company. One year ago, the general manager of the company de clared that the line to the school would be built before "snow flies." The fact that he did not indicate what year, has led to many embarrassing questions, and as the charter of the company ex pires in a couple of years, eventuali ties are being discussed freely. MISSING CAR LOCATED. Trouble Over Binding Twine 8old In Garrison and Itc Vicinity. Sperlal to Times-Republican. Garrison, July 16.—About two months ago, a car load of binding twine consigned by the International Harvester company to a certain Min nesota dealer, came up missing, and the detectives of that company have been actively tracing that car of twine across Minnesota, Kansas, South Da kota and Iowa, until they yesterday ran tho car down, and found that the Minnesota dealer.finding himself bank rupt, sold the car of twine at a fraction of its cost, to a lawyer in that town by the name of O'Neal, who had billed and rebilled the car to various states In order to elude the vigilance of the International people. O'Neal fin ally sent tho car to Garrison con signed to his son, Bert, who is in charge of an elevator here, and from here It was sold to the farmers around here, and in neighboring towns, taking notes in payment, which were invaria bly cashed at the local banks, and the proceeds pocketed. Then having dis posed of the bulk of. the car load, O'Neal left the remainder with his son Bert for sale and left town. Now the agents of the company ap pear on the scene, and declare that those who purchased twine of O'Neal must pay for It a second time as it was not the property of O'Neal, but was stolen. Time alone will prove whether the company is really In earn est about the repayment, or just run ning a bluff, but at any rate, those who are involved will hesitate in the future about buying their twine of strangers.

The closing sale of the Reece Price lands In this county, by the referees last week, at a price much below Its value, Is causing no end of comment. These lands are situated just adjacent to Le grand on the north, and consist of a tract of about 500 acres of good land. Some of it in worth from $90 to $100 an acre and there were several bid ders who would have bid well for the land had the matter been thoroughly understood. As It was, the land was permitted to sell for about $46 per acre. It is likely time suit will be com menced to set aside the sale, as a con spiracy between the purchaser and cer tain parties who had the conduct of the business. The Tama chautauqua assembly broke about even financially, this year, the receipts being $75 less than the total expenses.

County Attorney A. W. Hamann conducted the prosecution. But few witnesses were examined and the hearing was gone thru In less than an hour.

Many since reading the account of the terrible murder of Mrs. Mason at the hands of Lulu Bennett, have won dered and commented on the diaboli cal nature of the deed.

James Gee, and asked for the .lecossary license with which they .light seek the wedded state. They svere accompanied by the mother of .he bride elect. Mrs. Louie Cathie, also Martinsburg. All progressed very line and as the appearance of both parties denoted that they were old enough to take care of themselves and possibly each other, Deputy Gee was greatly startled when the ages of the contracting parties were given at 14 and 17 respectively. A hasty consultation was bogun be tween Deputy Gee and Clerk Phillips as to the mode of operation in the L'ase, as It was bordering on the Ju venile to a greater extent than (s cus tomary. It was finally determined by the clerk andl deputy to obt:iin legal advice in the matter and a local at torney was taken into the counsel and decided that If the proper permission nccompanled tlu request for marriage license, it would be legal to supply the wants of the applicants. The youth produced a permit from his parents to place him within the limits of the law, while the young lady had her mother in tow, who gave the desired permission. In signing the articles releasing her daughter the age of the mother came to light and lo, It was a greater surprise than the daughter's age, as she had com pleted but 29 summers herself, and the daughter is fourteen. Justice C. C. Ayres was then brought into the ease and soon arrived at the court house, where at 11:30 he per formed the ceremony that bound Wade McReynolds and Nellie Scott as man and wife.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick Building, New York, N. Y. ANOTHER RISKY POLE HUNT. Commander Robert E. Peary has his polar expedition under way again, and will make another effort to solve the •mysteries of the frigid zone. His ship, thfc Roosevelt, has started on her way to the north after a stop at Oyster Bay, where a reception was tendered to ,the president, who expressed his good wishes for the success of the ship which bears his name, and those who will endeavor to reach the top of the world. The president appears to have been greatly Interested in the P.eary expedi tion. and no doubt his partiality to *Miri Its commander and the trip had considerable to do with the explorer's success in eventually getting the^ last $2$000 which -was necessary to the proper equipping of the ship. The naming of the craft in honor of the president is a fair index of the friendly feeling which Peary bears toward the president. •Whether all agree on the expediency •f pole, hunting, there Is hardly any reasonable person but who will con cede the valor of the dauntless Peary "in his persistent efforts to get to the chilly summit of £his terrestrial sphere. He appears to b» the only man In this decade who Is Intent upon reaching the north polo. Many other explorers have 009116 and have tjone. Greeley, Nansen, Andrea and others have made their "flights upward, only to come back thwarted ln their purpose, «ave In the "case of Andree, who tried to *each the pole toy a balloon and was never again heard of. We are told tliat the expeditions in gearch of the northern extremity of the glob* are In the Interests of sci ence. Science has had a good many martyrs In Its time, but it Is probably a safe assertion that none of them who died In search of knowledge ever suc cumbed by a more terrible, distressing and agonizing route than that of freez ing and starving to death In a futile hunt for the imaginary line which marks the axis of the earth. Just what benefit will be conferred on posterity by the negotiation of a •complete Journey to the north pole has [jdever been demonstrated to the satis faction of us all. If the knowledge that the pole hail been discovered could be passed from mouth to mouth, that's about all there could be to it. A de scription of it in the geographies would probably Inform us of a white field of ilea of impenetrable depth, a spot where human beings fiould not live for long— at jeast a spot where a civilized race could not thrive. In any event, it Is to be hoped Peary wlll not bring back with hiin any more Esquimaux. In 1895 he brought back fiye which he exhibited in the Brook lyn navy yardon his ship, the Kite, charging admission. All of them are I flead of consumption, save Meenie Kee «ho, a 16-year-old son of one of the tthers, who is In,New York. He asked J'Peary to take him along on this trip but Peary did not do so. There is Ilt tle good accomplished by bringing these people out of their natural lat itude to either die or be forced to stay In a country which is not to their lik­ ing. ROBIN RED BREASrS VICTORY. After four years of desperate fight ing the, first battle for Robin Red Breast has been won in Louisiana, the heart of the section where this rite American song bird is butch ered by the million for the market. hat the robin has at last been re-r Inoved from the list of game birds by |he legislature of the Creole Btate is doubly interesting in Iowa where this feird is such a favorite, and Is pro jected^/ As thfe first fruits of a persistent {Campaign of education In the south, the officers of the National Associa tion of Audubon societies declare this victory will moan the saving of dollars' jworth of crops for each tiny carcass Spared as a tifi bit for the gourmand. By a close vote the law makers of Louisiana have repealed the old game fe'lrd law in which the robin was (classed as game and have decreed no :6pen season for the wholesale destruc tion of the sightly species, a million •gnembers of which were butchered for their mouthf uls of meat last year alone. jOnly Texas and Alabama of all the southern states now possess similar Statutes, tho it is declared that senti ment in the south is becoming gener ally aroused against the slaughter of Shese "favorite birds of the country vhlle they winter in lower latitudes. That successful agriculture in this IObin eountf-y Would become impossible and Vegetation soon be destroyed if the and his brother birds were ex |terminated has Just been asserted by Professor Henshaw of the biological survey,, and the Audubon authorities declare that his warning may come too late if this victory for the robin is not followed by a" general campaign to preserve and eyen increase every such race of birds. Scientific examination of hundreds of robins has shown that al most half of their diet is composed of, the insects that mean sure destruction to the trees and crops of the land. These very insects, it has been proved, damage the country's crops to the ex tent of $500,000,000 annually, while their added ravages of woods and stored crops, it is calculated, rob the land of nearly Jl,000,000,000 each year. Tho insect pests are known to be Increas ing, their natural destroyers, the birds, are being gradually exterminated at ah alarming rate, it is declared. To open the eyes of the public to this crucial situation the National As sociation of Audubon societies has been exerting Its utmost resources for years in a general educational cam paign. Encouraged by the results of this work for the robins in Louisiana the officers of the association declare that every means at their command will be used thruout the country to rouse the people to the value of the dying birds. William Dutcher, president of the association, 141 Broadway, New York, says some few people realize the grav ity of the situation, for he is receiving contributions with letters asserting that this work is second only In eco nomic importance to forest preserva tion. He says: "We are trying to reach every man, woman and child in this broad land With the story of our common danger, and we want every bird lover, farmer merchant and citizen of any walk In life to help us push the enormous task we have undertaken for tho economic good of every American." 5 THE ANTI-PASS DECISION. The decision of the federal Judge up holding the provisions of the federal rate law which prohibits railroads from selling .transportation for anything ex cept money was expected. There should not have been any question raised by reasonable people. The moment the principle is accepted that the business of the common carrier is subject to regulation that moment does it follow that railroads may be forbidden by law from accepting advertising space for transportation. The right of the law to regulate has never been the real obstacle in the way of .the publisher who would exchange space for a ride. His trouble has been entirely with the uneducated advertis ing management of the railroads. No law seeks to prevent a railroad adver tising its business in the newspapers nor would any statute be proposed to restrict publishers buying transporta tion on the railroads. Any railroad ad vertising manager today who wishes to do business with publishers on an ex change basis can make a, contract for $100 worth of advertising cash to ac company the order and at the time of negotiation he can cimmand that he ifiratJbe shown the publishers'purchase of the passenger department Ave 1,000 mile books at $100. Neither one of these transactions are prohibited by law and there is nothing in Judge Kohlsaat's decision establishing them as an evasion. The .trouble Is with the railroad management. When they got advertis ing for mileage they looked upon it as something cheap and very few rail roads ever devoted more than the thought of an average clerk to their advertising campaigns. When they grasp the conception of advertising which has built up the success of such agencies as Lord and Thomas who now boast that thiey pay their chief copy man a salary of $1,000 per week then the railroads will do the kind of ad vertising which will command for them the admiration of the publisher. Rail road travel is business that can be created.'It will respond to advertising quicker than any pther class of busi ness known. Topiis* of thlTTimfs. A'1 Who wants to bet that Alton B. Parker will make as many speeches this year for Bryan as Bryan did four years ago, for the .New York nominee? "Will some one who feels qualified to answer the question, be kind enough to explain why our district and supreme judges should not be voted for at the primaries, the same as candidates for other offices?"—Hampton Recorder. Simply because the legislature ex cluded them from the provisions of the law. No other reason. In return for the waving of the olive branch by Bryan at -Hearst the latter presented the nominee with a crown of thorns by withdrawing the support of his newspapers. It is safe to assume in this event that Hearst will not sur reptitiously open his barrel for the benefit of the Denver ticket It Is now reported that Charles A. Walsh of Iowa may get on the Hearst ticket. Charlie is thrifty enough to make the story believable. They sav that an effort will be made by Congressman Burton to take away Senator Foraker's toga. Such a threat. has' no terrors in such hot weather. Jim Weaver has been secured to write for the Register and Leader. Perhaps Bryan may not take stock In Charlie Huffman's dally after all. Herman Ridder, editor of the New York Staats Zeitung, who went to Lin coln before the convention to tell Bry an not to run for the reason that he could not \vin, now says he will sup port'the ticket. Such a promise is no doubt made in good part but such ad­ vocacy by a man who Is on record as without faith will liave ltttle binding effect 1)0X1: his re&dfers, ,w Theodore A. Bell, of California, told Bryan that If President Roosevelt's policies were attacked in that state, the democrats would lose, so this will not be made one of the Issues there. The question will be handled freely In other states but of course California will not find it out as the people out there never read the newspapers. It Is cer tainly an idea that reflects great cred it on Mr. Bell. In Marshalltown it Is either 'shoot to kill or get beat up to the point of death. Deadwood Gulch is a tame place in comparison. 4 Some of those democratic planks will have about as much influence as a toothpick.

The Burlington Hawkeye believes it "better that people who have mis mated in an hour of folly be permitted to go their several ways than that they be condemned to a life of mis ery, as punishment for an ill-advised step. Foil there can be no worse punishment than to compel two to live together who repel each other, and whose very presence has become hate ful to each other." "We betray no confidence when we say that Air. Bryan can count on the support of the Lincoln Commoner at any time for any office he wants," the Corwlth Hustler asserts. The Wesley News-World says: "A Wisconsin judge has ruled that a kissed girl has no recourse in law un less she expostulated before she was kissed. Slip up on 'em, fellers slip up!" "After a man has spent his whole life as the devil wished, it doesh't look reasonable to us that he can lie to the Lord on his deathbed and go straight, to heaven," the Deep River Record asserts. "In our opinion the talk of deathbed repentance has kept many from entering the pearly gates." According to the Boone Independent "An editor out west printed an item which.started, 'The man that was hug ging tie hired girl had better stop or his name would be published.' In a few days twenty-five citizens paid thelf subscriptions and told the editor to pay no attention to foolish stories going around."

"It is a significant Index to the pre valent sentiment in financial and business circles," says the Burlington Hawkeye, "that the nomination of Bryan is regarded as making the more certain the election of Taft." "Iowa wasn't in it at Denver either, with vice presidential timber," the Coon Rapids Enterprise comments. "Jerry Sullivan didn't have any show. Of course not. Political managers are not moved by mere sentiment. They plan a campaign 'for votes and hence must choose at least one of the nomi nees from .the east. Bryan's managers didn't want a man from Iowa, neither did Taft's managers. It would have been a mistake to so have disregarded the east and would likely have spelled defeat for the republicans or greatly reduced the democratic vote for Bry- lowa Newsqapers -WE GOT THE TANSY. (Storm Lake Vidette.) At various times we have Inserted a small inconspicuous ad In the Vidette when we wanted something, and with out fall, the ad has brought results. Last week we advertised for tansy. Tho papers were put In the office Thursday evening and at seven o'clock Friday morning we had all we wanted of it. So it has ever been, we can therefore heartily recommend the Vi dette as an advertising medium. For the past month we have hunted for tansy, asked every one if they had any or whether they knew of any, all with out results and if we had not adver tised in the Vidette, we might still be living In a house that was threatened entire destruction by an army of small ants. The little pests got Into the cupboards ate up the moats, wallowed in the butter, became drowned In the milk, took baths in the sauce, and for recreation would creep up and down one's spinal column when they were least expected. But now with the house thoroughly covered with tansy they have taken marching orders and we expect to live In peace and har mony once more. 4 The s- IOWA LAKES OVERFLOWING. (Spirit Lake Beacon.) The three large .lakes of this vicin ity, the largest in Iowa, have never within the period of settlement, cov ering fifty years, marked as high a water stage as during the past week. A good deal of damage to public and private property has resulted by over flow and by washouts, but if the heavy rains are over, as now seems likely, the trouble will not long be noticed. The dam at the outlet of the Okoboji was a matter of embarrassment. It was ordered in by the state, originally, partly blown out, and last fall rebuilt by the Okoboji Protective association. By almost common consent there was need recently of greater waste than provided for, but authority to make the break seemed nowhere vested. Fi nally as a matter of public policy the association removed the portion 'built last year, making a rapid flow about four feet in depth and 150 feet In width, and this relieved the strain, and will serve to gradually reduce the pressure on the shores. Parties keep ing water marks olalin a drop of three to six inches since Monday. Spirit Lake is wasting liberally at the old mill race, but its recession will be slower. Grades near the lakes have' suffered much at considerable publi? inconvenience and expense. ANOTHER EXPLANATION. 1 (Ft. Dodge Chronicle.) .'jV"- ftoosevelt and Taft offered Iowa the second highest honor that a patri otic American can aspire to. Senator Dolliver was first named then Governor Cummins. Both were eligible, compe tent and deserving. How did they act? Dolliver at the behest of Blythe, Young Hunter refused it. Cummins said noth ing, but his friends on the delegation said Iowa will be honored if either Dol liver or Cummins is chosen. Other delegations stood ready to vote as Iowa Indicated. Perkins like a rejected old maid, filled the air with lamentations and im peached the party loyalty of his fellow citizens, who have honored him over much. Lafe Young became a wailing Jene mlah for one long week, and then wilted before the angry protests of the busi ness men of Des Moines, whose adver tising he feared to lose. Lacey, the forsaken, barking and biting at everybody, showing his fes tering political wounds and sores, howl ing that Dolliver was too good for the office and that the office was too good for Cummins. These were £he men who gave utter-' ance to deadly hatred and malice of "Joe" Blythe, Ed Hunter and the rail roads against this governor of a great state, who in quitting the office he has honored, will Vaave on the statute books more measures of relief from railroad and corporation domination than Young Perkins, Blythe, Hunter and Lacey would have given in a hundred years. -He Knew.

Many leading agricultural experts are advocating the plan of stacking grain and allowing It to go thru tho sweat before threshing, instead of threshing from the shocks as has been the custom for many years. The prin cipal argument in favor of this plan Is the fact that the grain Is In a con dition then that the owner can hold it until he is ready to sell Instead of be ing forced to rush it to market as he must do when threshing from the shock. Profit in Raising Geese. In sizing up the wnole poultry In dustry, Commercial Poultry concludes that geese come as near being all profit as any stock raised on the farm. They make their living largely on grass and are practically self-support ing. They do not require a large pasture field, but one that produces a good yield. Add a lUtle grain occa sionally and you will have no trouble raising geese. They only require wat er for drinking purposes, same as the hen. They are louse and mice-proof, and are seldom subject to any kind of disease and hawks seldom prey upon the young goslings. Some complain that a goose is a nuisance so are hogs if they are not confined to their pasture.. Dairy Notes. 1 5 The dairy farmer sells less fertility from his soli and receives larger re turns per acre of ground used in keep ing the dairy, than any other kind of a farmer. A woman reader asks if It pays to givo high priced feeds to runty calves. We'have about come to the conclusion that it does not pay to give them any kind of feed. It is much better to sell them and let the other fellow worry about the feed pcoblems. A good calf, will eat no more than a scrub, and If the scrub can be fed at a .profit there will be a much greater profit in the good calf. Therefore keep only tho good calf. The man who does the milking should be clean. By this is meant he should be clean as well as his cloth ing. The hand who never takes a bath should not be tolerated in the cow lot any more than'the hand whose clothes are covered with dirt, tobacco spit, and other filth. Balancing the Ration. The cow giving eight quarts of'milk per day should have, for each thousand pounds of live weight, twenty-seven pounds of dry matter in which are contained two pounds of protein, elev en pounds of carbohydrates and .4 pound of fat. Four pounds of corn grain, the average feed, and enough pasture grass to make up the neces sary amount of dry matter will fall far short of this standard, as nearly as can be told. It should be remembered that pasture grass varies with the location, the kind ot soil, the condition of the weather, and the season. However, it is safe to conclude that a ration of four pounds of corn and enough pas ture grass to supply the necessary amount of dry matten would contain 1.17 pounds of protein, 13.6 pounds of carbohydrates, and .38 pounds of fat. It can be seen that such a ration will be deficient in protein, but it contains an excessive amount of carbohydrates. Five pounds of corn on the cob, five pounds of dry bran, and enough pas ture grass to bring up the amount of dry matter to the required Standard contain about 1.98 pounds of protein, nearly twelve pounds of carbohy drates, and .5 pound of fat, which is not far from the standard suggestod above. Silage for Beef Cattle (Chicago Live Stock \vunu.j The somewhat prevalent idea among farmers that beef cattle fed on silage do not go to the block in as good con dition as those fed dry rations Of roughage has been disproved.by a se ries of important investigations and feeding tests of the department of ag riculture. The great value of silage as a meat .producer as well as for dairy purposes is conclusively shown. In the tests reported by Professor Soule to the bureau of animal industry as conducted at the Tennessee govern ment experiment station with nine groups of feeders covering periods ot 120 days' feeding wr lllwi «Cl» "attle fed on stover as the rough torttoi. or "the ration made a good gain of 1.27 pounds per day but those receiving a succulent ration did much better, making an average gain of 1.75 pounds per day. The farmer who feeds for the market cannot afford, it is stated, to be without a silo. Silage makes a most excellent feed for beef pro duction and one that In the long run will make an exceedingly cheap pound of gain, by reason of the small amount of concentrated feed stuffs—grain, cot tonseed meal, etc.—required to be fed with it. The prejudice against silage for beef cattle has undoubtedly come largely from the demands of. the butchers, who have maintained that beef cattle so fed were inferior meat producers. The Important result, therefore, of the slaughter test of these cattle Is found in the fact that he silage-fed cattle showed the highest per cent of good meat, thus overthrowing the impres sion that. such cattle will not "kill well." The slaughter test of 15 dry fed cattle showed a total of 8,108 pouncls of good meat, while that of 15 succu.lent-fed cattle was 8,683 pounds, a gain in favor of the silage-fed cattle of 57 pounds of salable, meat. When the cattle in one of the experiments were offered for sale the butcher pro posed, to discriminate against those fed silage, maintaining that they would not dress as well as the others. He was assured that If the' silage-fed cattle did not dress out as well as the others, he would not be expected to pay as a high a price for them. "The slaughter tests spoke for themselves," said Professor Soule, "and sounded the dekth knell of a prejudiced and absurd belief." Nor does' the Item of feeding cost show up to the disadvantage silage, but the contrary. A .pound1 Of'gain in the stover-fed cattle cost art -average of 5.8 cents, while with sllaga-fed cat tle a pouhd of gain under "the same conditions cost an average of 5.06 or a difference of 91.79 per hundred weight. Silage, it may be generally re marked, has a very wholesome effect on the handling qualities of cattle, making tho hide soft, elastic and flex ible, and the hair glossy and oily to the touch, an compared \vith a coat that is inclined to be rough, dry and shaggy with the stover-fed cattle. Ripley Hitchcock, the brilliant editor and critic, said of literary popularity at a dinner in Philadelphia: "To win popularity it is only neces sary to write with sincerity on a taking subject To hit the taking subject, tho —that Is the difficulty. Upton Sin clair hit on it in 'The Jungle,' but that shot was accidental, mere luck for, as Mr. Sinclair says himself, he aimed at the public's heart in 'The Jungle,' and his bull'u-eye in the public's stom a.ch was a mistake. "Taking subjects are abundant, hut they are very hard to hit on. The writer in search of them resembles, in deed, the lady with the moths. "There was, you know, a suburban lady whose house one summer was quite overrun with, moths. A tramp told her that in return for a square meal, he would give her an in fallible moth cure. She set a square meal before the tramp, he devoured it, then he said: "All ye need to do, ma'am. Is to hang yer moth-filled clothes and earpets and things on a line and beat 'em with a stick. Good by to yer inoths then.' '"Will that kill them?' asked the lady. "i'es, if ye hit 'em,' said the tramj* Agitation Not Fruitless. If®I (Washington Herald.) The man who thinks that the agita tion over impure food, over wrongs In Industrial centers, over the iniquities of certain monopolies, over the dis crimination In railway rates, over a thousand and one injustices" wrought by men and corporations, backcd by the money power, has all been fruitless, simply Ignores the facts. it has been a period of stress: it has hurt to have the wrongs exposed, but the wrongs have been and arc being righted. It Is all very well to wish for industrial peace to hope that the agi tations against wrongs may Mop, but It will not stop, and It shoulS not, as long as the evils endure.

CHAPTER ri-ir: vtuV QuAi ^Y THE CAPTAIN OF the high diving act." "You have no right to impose such an alternative on me." "I hate It myself, and I can't dive worth a cent. You will hear a beastly flop when I strike the damp." "Mr. Boyle, I call on you to hold him." Boyle explained luridly that the American was doing a balancing act on the rail eight feet above his head. Elsie, taking her eyes off Suarez for an instant, discerned Gray's figure sil houetted aguiust the sky. She yielded. "There is a rope ladder fastened to the lowest rail near where the canoe was moored." she said. "Is there to be any catch-as-catch-can business, Boyie?" demauded Gray. "No. All this Is mighty unfair to me." "You have my sympathy, friend, but you can't leave the ship. Now, Miss Maxwell, come alongside. Boyle Is going to be good. He doesn't mean half he says anyhow." As the canoe slipped out of the dense gloom of the ship's shadow the Argen tine squatted on his. knees in the bows, Gray placed himself amidships, and Elsie sat aft. holding the revolver in her right band and the dog's colfar in her left. The American groped for and found a paddle, which he plied vigor ously. "Guess you'd better discourse." said be over his shoulder when the light craft was well cicar of the Bhip. "You understand Spanish, I think?" "Yes." "Pleaqe tell Suarez to cease pad dling and listen. Don't move. I can trust you, but I may have to shoot him." "Best hand me that popgun, Miss Maxwell. The gentleman in front seems to have a wholesome respect for you already. Anything you say goes where he is concerned. I am taking your word for it his name is Suarez, but he looks and smells more like an Indian." "I forced him to dress In his dis carded clothes. He may be able now to scare any of the savages we come across. But why should I give you my weapon, Mr. Gray?" "Because 1 can hit most things 1 KANSAS By LOUIS TRACY, Author of "Th« Wings of tb« Morning." "Tbe Pillsr of Light," Etc. .COPYRIGHT, lflDO, BY EDWARD J. CLODE XVIII. OYLE was very angry. It was a situation which demanded earnest words, and they were forthcoming Elsie understood them to mean that she need not be in such a purple hurry to disappear into the darkness without the least ex planation. Thereupon she bade Suarez back the canoe a little. "I am sorry It is necessary to steal away In this fashiou," she said, and the coolness of her tone was highly exasperating to a man who could no more detain her than he could move the Kansas unaided. "I have a plaD which requires only a bit of good for tune to reuiler it practicable. I have two assistunts—Suarez. whose aid 1 am compelling, aud .locy, who la quite eager. There Is no use iu risking any more lives. If I do not return you IUI*? be sure the worst has happened." "But what is your plan?" roared Boyle. "It may be Just sheer non sense. Tell »ie what It is. an' I swftar by the nautical almanac I shall not prevent you from carryln' it out If 14 has any reason behind tt." "I am going to collect all the Indian canoes," was the amazing answer. "I know it can be done from what Suarez has said. Once we have the canoes In inidcbannel we can set most of them adrift and bring Captain Courtenay and the others back to the ship in four or five, which we will tow t6 Guanaco hill. And now goodby again!" "One moment. Miss Maxwell," broke In Gray's quiet voice from the upper deck. "You can't engineer that scheme with a one man crew a*id he sick and unwilling. I am golug with you. You must take me aboard, wet or dry." "I 9m well armed and shall admit of no interference she cried. "I promise to obey orders." "If I wanted you, Mr. Gray, I should have sought your help,','... "It Is one tiling or the. other,' a wrig gle down a rope or a aim at, whereas y'oiT are more" likely to bore a iiole through me as a pre liminary. Moreover, you have the dog with you, and even the wisest dog may bark at the wrong moment. You must have both hands at liberty to choke his enthusiasm." "Do you pledge your word to go on with my scheme?" "That Is what I am here for." "Take the revolver, then." "Sure it's loaded?" "Quite sure. I have fifteen extra cartridges but, as I have practiced re filling it in the dark, give it to me If you have occasion to empty it." "You seem to have thought this thing •at pretty fully." "I Intend to succeed. Now, please, 1 must explain what I want Suarez to «o." Speaking In Spanish, slow nnd clear, while the canoe drifted stendily up the bay with the rising tide. Elsie unfold ed her project. Behind the guardian Cliff of Otter creek a ridge of rocks created a small uatural harbor. It was the custom of the Alaculofs when the weather was calm and they meaot to use their craft at daybreak to an chor most of their vessels In this shel tered breakwater. At other times the canoes were drawn ashore, but she rea soned that such a precaution would not be taken during the present excite ment. That was the first part of ber pro gramme—to capture the entire fleet, in cluding the lifeboat. In any event, she Intended to go next to the hidden cleft at the foot of Guanaco hill, trusting to the dog's sagacity to reveal the re treat where she believed that her lover and many of his men were hidden. If a squad of Indians mounted guard there, the reappearance of Suarez In bis war paint, backed by the alarm of a night attack from the sea, might mys tify the enemy sufficiently to permit of a landing, while the frequent reports of the revolver would certainly lead to a counter demoustration by Courtenay. Gray listened to the girl's cool state ment with growing admiration. The plan began to look feasible. It came within the bounds of reason. The odds were against it. of course, bnt the law of probability is seldom, in favor of a forlorn hope. Suarez, too, makiqg the best of a situation which gave him no option, agreed that they had a fait chance if once they got hold of the canoes. Nevertheless he warned them that he knew nothing of the surround ings of Guanaco hill. He believed there were no reefs on that side of the Inlet, but he had never visited It. Their greatest peril lay amid the al most Impenetrable trees which grew down to the water's edge. On his ad vice Gray unshipped the njast and threw it overboard. Then silence be came imperative. If aught were said, they must speak in the merest whis per. Tbe canoe darted forward again with stealthy haste. The night was clear, though dark. The stars helped them to distinguish the outlines of the shore now coming rapidly nearer. As they crept round the southern cheek of Point Kansas the Argentine ceased paddling and placed a warning hand on Gray's arm. The cliff was so high and steep that Its shadow plunged Into deepest gloom the water at its base. Suarez, however, bad imbibed a good deal of savage lore during his enforced residence on the island.

The high prominence of Dr. Cadman, as an influential member of the Amer ican Peace society, makes him prac tically the mouthpiece of that organ ization while Congressman Hobson Is the acknowledged advocate of a great navy, the prophet of inevitable war with the Japanese, and has been con sidered the mouthpiece of the ad ministration as regards its naval policy. The debate will take place In the af ternoon of Thursday. Captain Hobson will open and close for the affirmative. The decision will be reached by a ris ing vote of the audience. Prospects are that it will be Intensely interesting. Both have been before the same Chautauqua assemblies in Iowa, and each is convinced of the incorrect ness of the other's position. Dr. Cad man objects to "making blood puddles of two oceans," as he has expressed It. Captain Hobson thinks Dr. Cadman's view a superficial one. They have been anxious to meet in joint discussion, and the arrangement is largely of their own making. Ii: will be a great debate from the timeliness of the subject and the prom inence of the men. It is probably the first time in history that two men of ruch note, one a great preacher on two continents, the other a naval hero whose name is household word the world over, have met to discuss the question of the necessity of war and great armaments. Marshalitown is to be congratulated over Its selection as the meeting place for the discussion. Incidentally it may be noted that "Marshalltown" will fill a prominent place In the headlines and date lines of the world's news on Thursday, July 23. v. GUSSIE M. BENTLEY. Licensed to Wed.

General Superintendent D. C. Noon an, of the Iowa Central, spent Wednes day night in the city, and during his stay here was in conference for more than an hour with Mayor O. L. Ingle due, relative to the strike situation. When seen this morning neither Mr. Noonan nor Mayor Ingledue was In clined to discuss what took place at the conference. •Certain facts, relative to the com pany's position regarding the strike, have been learned. The first and most important of these Is, that the com pany Is firmly determined never to re employ certain members of the strik ing unions who. have been prominent in the disorders that have occurred. A list of these men has been .prepared, and is in the company's possession. It is also known that the company will never consent to a settlement of the strike unless the strikers return to work at the average wage paid by oth er roads In lowa for similar services. It Is declared that the company will stand "pat" on these two propositions. May Block Settlement. There is every prospect that .this at titude will block any possible settle- ment, which at this time is apparently as far removed as it has ever been since the strike began in April. Mayor Ingledue said that he believed one important result of his conference with.Mr. Noonan was that the two came to a better understanding than they bad had thru correspondence, and they had never met before. He thought that the true situation had been mis represented to Mr. Noonan. Promises Full Protection, igi •Mr. Noonan said that Mayor in gledue had given him hia promise that both he and the police force, also the local men who were deputized special officers yesterday and today, would use every effort to preserve order. This Mayor Ingledue said this morn ing was nothing new, and that he had been ready and had been making every effort to do so all along. He called Mr. Noonan's attention to the fact that he had stood ready and willing at any time the company desired it, to depu tize special officers to preserve order and protect the company's property and employes but, that he never had been willing and never would place of ficial authority in the hands of pro fessional guards Imported by the com pany. According to the mayor the.local of ficials of the company have be'en well aware of this for weeks, but have never taken steps to take advantage of it until this week. Looal Men on Guard/' Yesterday and today local deputized special officers were put on fruty by the mayor, at the company's expense, in and around the company's property and in the vicinity of its shops. It is probable that six of the nine men dep utized will work at night, and three in the day time, The company will relieve its Im­ ported guards today and the others will take their places.

The automatic' telephone exhibit now being shown at 222 East (Main, has attracted a great many interested! spectators who have had Mr. J. S. Engh, representing the Automatic Electric Company, show them the sim pie, yet wonderful devices that auto matically, surely and rapidly make the connections at central without waiting for any girl to delay, or listen or tell you thQ line is '*busy." It would toe hard to describe the automatic sys tem and impossible to do so under standingly without illustrations, but everyone who has seen it marvels at it and is impressed with its almos': hu man powers. The operation of telephoning with the automatic is not essentially differ ent from the ordinary 'phone, except that it is much more rapid, the con nection at central being made almost instantaneously. To make a call you merely insert your finger in the num bered holes on the periphery of the dial and rotate the dial toward the finger stop at the bottom. This is: done for each digit in the phone number wanted. At each rotation the auto matic switches at the exchange are actuated by an electric current, a tiny mechanism has been operated ajjd the connection with the proper line made by the time the revolution of the dial has been completed. The whole oper ation has taken but ten seconds and the Instant you hang up the receiver the disconnection is made and you can immediately call up another party. The automatic claims that it will do all the girls at central do, except listen to the tales that are told over the wire, and do it quicker and more accurately that It never sleeps at night and has the same force fi.t work every hour and minute of the night and day. Most of us have come to like the "hello" girl, who is a hard worker and painstaking and whose Virtues outnumber her faults, 'but one carl hardly watch the automatic at work without remembering with some heat the vexatious delays in getting central only to receive the calm as surance that the line is "busy," for getting that perhaps someone is ask ing central the correct time, when the train leaves or where the fire is. Whatever the Farmers M?rchants Telephone Company, as it will be called, may do in the way o!.' an In vestment in Marshalltown, an investi gation of the exhibit at 222 East Main will be of interest to everyone. The automatic has been Installed in almosf a hundred towns and it is claimed works to the entire satisfaction of ev ery community where tried. At Om aha an exchange has just been In stalled and it is pronounced one of the completest ever put in. Thji advan tages claimed for it are many, the most apparent being absolute secrecy of conversation rapidity, It being claimed that five calls can be put thru central by the automatic to one by the manual system the same service ev ery hour of the day and night.

Shippers and Packers Indiffer ent, and Light Receipts Suf ficient For Trade's Needs HOGS STRONG TO FIVE HIGHER Advance Due to Purchases by Outside Buyers and Small Local Killers, Tho Big Packers Were Very Indifferent —Only a Few Range Sheep in De mand, and Lambs Weak. Chicago, July 16.—Cattle were steady to a shade higher. The market followed the trend of yesterday's trad ing, and both shippers and packers lng, and both shippers and packers were sufficient for the needs of trade. While live cattle are more than $1.00 per hundred lower than recent high time, hides at present are at highest point in months. Buyers of hides are beginning to hope that the advance movement has been checked. It is real ized by every one that It Is not possi ble to continue advancing prices %c or %c after every sale. There must be a limit somewhere. The packers are not carrying anything like large stocks and in some selections have sold hides yet to be taken off. In view of this condition they see no present reason for abating their terms in any degree. Tanners who need hides to keep their liquors in use frankly admit that they have no recourse but to pay the prices demanded. Other buyers, who are bet ter supplied with hides, prefer to wait, as 'they believe the top of 'the market has been reached, and under more lib eral receipts of grass-fed cattle the extreme quotations now made cannot be sustained. ,l Hogs. Hogs were Strong to 5c higher. Pur chases by outside buyers and small lo cal killers were chiefly responsible for the advance, big packers showing much indifference, and there bids be ing far below the sellers' demands. Large receipts of late have not been of uniformly good quality, and the re sult has been a mighty poor outlet for a large proportion of the poorer grades of porkers. Some days lately as high as 9,00 squealers have failed to change hands the day of arrival and have had to be Hfeld over. Free selling of product of moderate quality has been In evi dence, but stuff without some showing of caliber has had practically no chance whatever to leave the seller's hands. 8heei* Sheep were steady to 10c lower. There were no urgent buying orders, and about' the only class in demand were a few range sheep. The lamb trade was very dull and weak. Three-day receipts are around 47, 000, which is less than last week or a year ago. Western stuff seems to 'be hoeing a straight row and taking care of Itself. Offerings are not heavy and the west ern sheepman Is exhibiting no sem blance of a liquidating frenzy. Some are holding stuff back. Ini any case August is the month when rangers be gin to come freely and no great num ber are expected for the next two weeks. Kentucky lambs are now running freely and an Ohio river report is to tHe effect that the Tennessee crop is already closely marketed. Chicago Livestock.

At this time farmers un busy up to their ears in the corn field and with hay harvest. That is given as the main reason that the demand is so slack now. In point of volume business has been remarkably small for some time and there is not likely to be an expansion till after the busy farm season is over. As a matter of fact not many good cattle are coming, but dealers expect to get some desir able rangers before long. Chicago Horse Market. Chicago, Julyl6. The trade Is normally in the period of the dullest season. The late indus trial depression naturally emphasizes the dullness. Demand is somewhat broader this week, but dealers general ly are insistent in making their pur chases at about steady quotations. As contrasted with the clearance of a year ago prices have slumped $20@30 and upward on the bulk of the offerings, making a great hardship for country shippers to buy their consignments at values that will make a profit when resold at wholesale markets to profes sional dealers. There is a shade strong er demand for heavy drafters at $170 @225 and upward for prime finished heavyweight offerings. A few stall-fed drafters cleared at $250@275 on special eastern orders, but inquiry is light for this ciass and the outlet mainly for the best grades. The appearance of a few southern dealers gives better tone to the clearance of light chunks at $60 @110 and medium drivers also move more freely at $115@140.

Phillips of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, said recently in New York that among infants artificially fed fifteen times more died than among those fed nat urally. "We will learn in the end to live cor rectly," said Mr. Phillips. "As things stand now, we are not much wiser In our way of living than an immigrant of whom I heard of the other day. "This immigrant, a Maygar, was ar rested for stealing a bottle of whisky. At the station house the sergeant said to him, pointing toward a tub: 'Strip and take a bath.' "'Vat, go in de water?' shrieked the Maygar. 'Yes,' said the sergeant 'take a bath. You need it. How long is It since you have had a bath?' "The Maygar lifted up his hands and rolled his eyes. "'Oh,' he said, 'I never was arrested before.'" Not Fair. "Look here, Abraham," said the judge, "it's been proved right here in court that instead of doing something to help support your wife and children you spend your whole time hunting 'possum!" The old negro hung his head. "Now, Abe, you love your wife, doirt you?" "Ah suttinly does!" "And your children?" "Yas, suh!" "And you love them both better——•' "Better ev'ry day, jedge!" Abe broke in. "—beter than a thousand 'possum?" "Look hyah, .ledge," exclaimed Abe, with widening eyes, "dat's takin' a coon at a pow'ful dlsadvantagel" ye..o-tHinf om om cmefwatypopppg Worry.

(Special Washington Correspondence.) Washington, July 16.—Actual work on the first inventory of the natural resources of tho United States has* be gun. Under the direction-of the Na tional Conservation Commission it will be carried on vigorously thruout the summer. This is necessary in or der to enable the commission to make the report which President Roosevelt has requested of it for January first next. A meeting of the chiefs of bureaus of the executive department has been held, and the heads of the various di visions concerned with the country's natural resources have offered their hearty co-operation in the great task which the commission hasi undertak en. So now. within only a few days over a month from the date the Na tional Conservative Commission was named by the president, active work Is going on in every bureau of the gov ernment which can furnish material available for the commission's report. A great amount of this material is already available In the government departments other important parts of It, however, will be collected thru spe cial channels. Among these will be the state conservation commissions, which the governors are appointing, and some of the great national organ izations which were represented at the White House conference and which have entered with spirit into the general conservation movement. In other words, the machinery for making the first Inventory ever attempted of •the resources of the nation has been set in motion and is running smooth ly. Gifford Pinchot, chairman of the commission, has changed his plans and wiH shortly return to Washington to continue personal supervision of the work. By early fall the commission expects to have In hand sufficient ma terial to begin the study of the stock of the country's resources, and by 'the middle of October it hopes to have the great part of this material In hand. This will be necessary in order that the full commission, which holds first meeting Tuesday, December 1, :n Washington, may at once take up the study of the facts which the sum mer's jwork has brought together. One week later the commission will hold a joint meeting in Washington with the governors of 'the states, or their rep resentatives, with a view of securing further and closer co-operation with the various state commissions. The commission has devised a new and interesting method by which to collect this material. A schedule of in quiries embracing the whole subject of conservation—waters forests, lands, and minerals—has been arranged and sent to each bureau chief with a re quest for suggestions and criticisms. This has resulted in obtaining the ex pert advice of the men at the head of the different bureaus who will have immediate charge of the collection of the ^rial. President Roosevelt, who is keeping in very close touch with the commission, has approved this method and has written to each chief of bureau a letter commending the en thusiastic co-operation shown by the bureau chiefs and emphasizing his be lief in the great importance of the work the' national conservation com mission has in hand. Among the government bureaus which will furnish a large part of the important information the commission Is seeking are the bureau of corpora tions of the department of commerce and labor, under Commissioner Her bert Knox Smith the bureau of the census, under Director North the for est service, under the direct super vision of the chairman of the commis sion, and Overton W. Price, secretary of the forest section of the commis sion the reclamation service, under Director Newell the geological survey, under Director Smith the corps of en gineers of the army, under its new chief. General William L. Marshall, and almost every bureau under the department of agriculture. Co-operation among all the agencies now engaged in this inventory taking is a conspicuous feature. Taking the membership of the national commis sion and the several memberships of the state commissions together, the number of persons engaged and in terested in the work is very large. One of the most important requirements Is, therefore, to make sure that every step of the work is known to all who are sharing in it, so that there may be the utmost amount of co-ordination and concentration, no misdirected energy and no duplication. Accordingly, bul letins of progress and information ara issued to the officers of the commis sions, the state commissions and oth ers, and a voluminous correspondence is kept up. In this way the work, com plex and scattered as it is, is effect ively centralized and simplified. The Grinnell News Letter. Special to Times-Republican. Grinnell, July 16.—Mr. and Mrs. R. A.
