Taft's .training has been in the achievements of reform, his whole ca reer lias been in favor of reforms In governmental affairs, while 'Mr. Bry an's .training has been merely in vap orizing about reforms, and for these reasons sound iheaded business demo crats are going to vote for Judge Taft." Governor Buchtel said 'that in his travels over the country he found a prosperous state of affairs, good crops and a happy people, and in all local ities visited by him things look most favoralble for a grand republican vic tory.

'Moscow, Aug. 19.—From investiga tion, it is now believed that the fraud ulent postage stamp business will de velop one of the most colossal swindles of recent times, in Russia. Two well known merchants of Mos cow were arrested. Their operations consisted of a systematic traffic In cancelled stamps, which were sent to a laboratory for cleansing, and then sold thru their accomplices In post offices. The business of a lucrative riv al organization entered the field, and •began to cut prices, which led to the discovery^of the swindles.

The terms of The Nether lands' answer to the letter of President Castro, it is understood were agreed upon. In diplomatic circles the view is entertained that the difficulty Is not of a nature to be settled by arbitration, and in explanation it is pointed out that the dispute Is not of a private commercial character lilce the difficul ties arising between Great Britain, Germany and America. It is main tained here that the present question ra/ther is one of sovereignty and na tional honor, matters not susceptible to solution by arbitration. lit has been agreed to pusih all neces sary preparations in order to be ready to support the ultimatum should it be decided to forward one to Castro. Work will be rushed night and day at the naval dock yards to complete preparations needed by "vyarships. Meanwhile every effort will be made to find a pacific solution of the dispute, especially in view of the fact that Queen Wilhelmina is opposed to re sorting to war until all other methods have been tried. In the .event of warlike measures, it is understood Springfield, lit, Aug. 19.—With Uie departure for home of the First and Fourth regiments today and the be ginning of the special grand Jury's in vestigation of the riots this city saw the first step taJi!en toward the re sumption of normal conditions. To morrow the Third and Fifth regiments will leave for their .homes, thus reduc ing the force of militia on duty to 1, 500 men. The First al(d Fourth regi ments, together with the Eighth, are scheduled to participate In the regular army maneuvers at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis,, early next month. Riots Still Threaten. Idiots are still .threatening certain portions of the community and It is practically certain the cavalry will be retained in the servioe of the state for some time. The First infantry left on the Chicago Alton at 10 o'clock today. This avoids Kankakee, where one of the members of the reg iment bayonetted Earl Nelson whfle the command was en route to Spring field. No official of the state was will ing to acknowledge that the change in route had teen made because of the trouble there, but it was broadly hinted that this was one of the determining factors In the selection of the route to be traveled. The Fourth infantry, whose com panies- are scattered in the principal towns of the southern end of the state, left Springfield by trolley cars and railroad tralhs. Authorities Are Anxious. The effect of the news that the troops had begun to depart, was anx iously watched by the authorities. Threats as to what would happen •when the troops left have been num erous and there .is a well defined fear that lawless individuals who are not yet apprehended may endeavor .to re new the disturbances counteracting the effect looked for from the special grand jury, which yesterday indicted George Richardson for the alleged assault upon Mrs. Mabel Hallam, and which today began to consider evidence against the rioters. Citizens Furnish Information. The appeals of the governor, cham ber of commerce, ministers' association and other civic bodies, that citizens generally furnish information to ths state's attorney concerning the riot, .met with such prompt response that the authorities are encouraged in the belief that the better elements of the community are aroused to the danger which threatens them unless the mob spirit is quenched. But while much information reached the state's attor ney for grand jury use, it Is not at all certain similar conditions will greet the more open proceedings of the coro ner's inquest and the criminal court trials which are expected to follow. Reticent Before Coroner. Inquiry into the lynching of Scott Burton was brought before the coro ner's jury today, but there was a no ticeable Jack of definite testimony. Most of the witnesses described the scenes in the "black belt," but when questioned as to the identity of mem bers of the mob their memories failed them. The morning hours today were the most quiet which the city experienced since the troubles began. Occasionally a shot was heard but in all cases ner Vous militiamen had mistaken shadows for lurking marauders. Negroes Predict Trouble. The riots are now regarded as his tory and the business men anticipate an early resumption of a normal amount of business. The reduction of the force of soldiers will save the state $20,000 per day. News of the departure of the troops was carried into the so called "bad lands" and respectable ne gro settlements by correspondents. With scarcely an exception they ex pressed the opinion thait trouble would follow the withdrawal of the national guardsmen. TYPHOID EPIDEMIC CONTROLLED Disease at Mankato Abating—Twenty •Deaths Have Resulted. Mankato, Minn., Aug. 19.—In view of the widespread and exaggerated re ports that have gone out regarding ,the 'health conditions in Mankato, the management of the normal school has made the following official statement, that tlhe students of the school and ithose who have planned t.o enter it may know what the conditions are: 1.

There have Ibeen many cases of typhoid fever, and at itihis date twenty deaths. But ther are no new cases developing at this time, and the health officers say there need be no more un less thru carelessness on the part of those in charge of patients. 3.

FOOT RACE FOR I AS PRIZE Suitor to Run Against Father-to Win Consent to Court Daughter. Pittsburg, Aug. 19.—William R. Klein, aged 40 years, of Allegheny, will run a foot race next Saturday with W. J. Llctus to see whether or not he will continue paying attentions to Llotus' 1,8-year-old daughter. Ma rie. If Klein loses the 200-yard race he agrees to retire as a suitor, and If .he wins Llctus agrees to withdraw all objections. Llctus and Klein are about the same age. When Klein began to court\Marie her father warned him to keep away. Llctus told Klein he was too old for Marie. Klein answered that he was ns good a man as Lictus and to. prove it would run him a foot race. If he did not win he would not ask to court Marie further. Llctus agreed. Marie is grooming Klein for the race and wants him to win. TWO WOMEN MULCTED Prominent Social Leaders of Chioago and Boston in Trouble for Beating Customs Department—May Be Pros ecuted for Crime. Chicago, Aug. 18—The United States authorities In Chicago, Boston and Washington for the last eight weeks •have been Investigating the most re markable attempt to "beat" the cus toms laws ever brought to their at tention. The audacity of the scheme and the standing of the participants breaks all records. .Mrs. Emily Rockwell Crane Chad bourne, who is now living on the north sliore, daughter of Richard T. Crane, president of the Crane Manu facturing company, and Mrs. "Jack Gardner of Boston, are the unlucky persons involved. Mrs. Chadbourne brought Into this country as her (household goods, under a false declar ation, nearly $100,000 worth of virtu belonging to Mrs. Gardner, on which she placed a valuation of $8,000. The result to date has been: First—The goods have been seized by) United States Collector Ames and are now confiscated by the govern ment. Second—An agent acting for Mrs. Chadbourne or Mrs. Gardner paid the government $70,000 in .fines ai'id. pen alties. and Mrs. Gardner will ihave to ipuy $80,000 additional of she wishes to secure possession of the property. Third—.The case In all probability will Ibe placed in the hands of the prosecuting authorities, and It is not unlikely that both women will have to face Indictments at the hands of the next federal grand jury that pieets •in Chicago. FEAR SEVENTY DEAD Eighteen Bodies Found Fearfully Mut ilated in Wigan, Eng., Mine—Many Others Still Entombed and Believed to Be Dead. Wigan, England, Aug. 19.—It is be lieved that not a single man of the seventy miners entombed by the ex plosion yesterday at the May Pole mine, survived the disaster. Today the mine was cleared of gases. Not far from the bottom of the sihaft, eighteen bodies were found frightfully mutil ated, with legs and awns, blown off, and heads battered beyond recogni tion. The rescuers were forced to suspend work this afternoon, as the mine is now on fire. THINKS RATE JUSTIFIED. Lawshe Discusses Attitude Toward and Second Class Mail Matter. St. Paul, Aug. 19—A. L. Lawshe, third assistant postmaster general, was the principal speaker at today's session of the national editorial association.

Jones, ex-Prison Warden, a Candidate for Membor of Board of Control to Succeed John Cownie Extra Session Will Amend Primary Law Only Slightly., O- Special to Timcs-Republican. Des Moines, Aug. 19.—Jack Heffle flnger, postmaster of the state hootfe, has returned from Grundy county, where he has been visiting. Mr. Hef fleflnger says that the number of stv.idpatters in Grundy county who are conoii.lin'g tho eloctkn of Cummins to the United States senate and are argu ing t'.u: the selctm of C^mmit's is the proper thing at this time for the republican party, Is something aston ishing. B. \V. Garret, secretary of the state board of parole, has returned from a visit to the south part of, the state, where he has been for a couple of weeks or more and he brings the same report. A Dallas county man re ports that In Dallas and Audubbn and other counties in that section there Is the same report as to conditions out there. Here in Polk county there Is a very noticeable betterment in .the conditions of the republican party because of the attitude of many prominent stand patters of the city who are taking the initiative in advocating that Governor Cummins be sent to the United States senate as the man most fitted to serve the people in that capacity. Ben Reh kopf is among those who have always been classed as standpatters but is now supporting Governor Cummins for senator. Mr. Rehkopf spent some tipie on a street corner the other evening trying to convince Representative Of fill, of Jasper county, to support Cum mins. Rehkopf asked Offill if he was willing to concede anything at all for the sake of harmony in the party and Offill refused, saying, as did James E. Blythe, of Dubuque, that he would rather see Claude Porter selected sen ator. Hosts of these standpatters are^will ing to go farther than the progressives ask. They are coming out in support of Cummins in great numbers. The progressives claim that with Allison out of the race a majority of the re publicans of the state favor Cummins for senator and they are willing to de termine the matter in any proper man ner. They would be willing to elect the present nominee to the legislature and allow the selection to be made by them if It had not been suspected that thei more radical standpat leaders or those who pretend to be leaders would seek to pledge these nominees, suspic ions which have been borne out in fact. The next method seems to be to submit the matter to a vote of the republicans at th^ November election. This will take all embarrassment off the nominees to the legislature. Many standpatters are now advocating that action. It is reported in political circles here that ex-Warden Newell N. Jones of Fort Madison penitentiary, who is now living at Griswold, la., Is a candidate for appointment to the position of membership on the state board of con trol now held by Hon. John Cownie, chairman of the board. Mr. Cownie's term expires in April, 1909, and his successor will not be appointed till next year. It is expected that Mr. Cownie will be a candidate for reap pointment. It is claimed that Jones has the support of J. W. Blythe for the appointment. Mr. Jones was some months ago su perseded in the position of warden at Fort Madison by the appointment of another. It was declared by many of the newspapers and politicians that it was done because of politics-.The mem bers of the board of control deny this. The state law Axes it so that the mem bers of the board are beyond influence by politics so far as law can make them and one of the members of the board is a democrat. Mr. Cownie was appointed a member of the board of control by Governor Shaw and has been continued on the bVard by Governor Cummins. He is re cognized as one of the foremost farm ers of the state and it was largely be cause of his urging that the state has purchased large farms for each of the state institutions and laregly by his efficient management and knowledge of farm matters that the farms have been managed with such success. If Governor Cummins determines to call the Thirty-second general assem bly together in special session it is quite probable that the only amend ment offered to the primary election ldw will be one providing in cases of emergency where a primary nominee for United States senator dies the matter ean be submitted again to the mem'bers of that party at the general election. But when the legislature meets next January it is probable that other amendments will be offered. That the primary election principle unquestionably has come to stay is the belief of politicians generally, but that there will be considerable legislation before the principle has been prop erly worked out Is as firmly believed. Information to be had in the legislative reference department of the state li brary .shows that every state In the union has a primary election law of some kind on its statute books, some closely imd some but. loosely controlling the selection of party nominees. In most of the southern states the laws merely leave the party organization the method for selecting the nominees. The parties in the south generajly have adopted the primary system and con trol I he primaries by rules adopted by the party. The more rigid laws are in the northern- states. The states now having state wide mandatory primary election laws are Iowa. Illinois, Ken tucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min nesota. New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Texas and Wisconsin. Iowa has taken advanced ground in its primary election law as compared to most of the states of the union and it is believed that there will be very few amendments offered. The drift of sentiment in most of the states tha* have passed the more rigFB prima laws has been towards preserving party organizations but many of 1 allow voting of "split" tickets .lg l'or some nominees of one parr and other nominees of another party where tiie office is different. STEIN HEARING POSTPONED. Mrsf Stein's Condition Delays Decision on Injunction Suit. Fpoclal to Timcs-Republican.

Postmaster Breathitt was officially In formed that postcards mailed out of Hopklnsville and other towns re cently, showing the four bodies of ne groes lynched at Russellvllle, August 1, should not have been allowed to pass thru Uncle Sam's hands.

For sixteen years the woman has been known as Mrs., Coroley, but it seems she had gone to live with C'onley as housekeeper, and a recent visit of John Ward, who deserted her twenty years ago at Whitehall, .Mioh., and the disappearance of Ward since the murder, adds mystery to the trag edy.

Death of Des Moines Man in Ohio to Be Thoroughly Probed ....'Jh-wQ, CONFLICTING STORIES ARE TOLD Hester Porter, Niece Says. Was Man Hater—Mysterious Stranger Says Stein Killed Self and Woman—Dead Man's Father Seeks Life Insurance Which Supposed Widow Claims. Special to Times-Republican'.'"""-' Des Moines, Aug. ID.—'The deaths of Morris Stein, of Des Moines, and Hes ter Porter by shooting, at Loudonville, O., are far from being cleared up, and conflicting stories are told by rela ,»A'5 'S tives, Did MLss Porter herself aSoot Mor ris Stein because she was a manhater, then lire into har own head tlie two bullets which stretched her prostrate on the floor beside his bleeding corpse? This remarkable theory is ij&td to liave :been expressed to detectives in ,the services of friends of Stein, who called upon /Mrs. Stein and her mother, Mrs. iBayatd, at their home, 1715 Clark stre&t. To these detectives Mrs. Bay ard is said 'to have made this state ment: "I ibelieve that my sister herself com mitted .this crime. She was always a manhater. Ia her lifetime she had had two unfortunate Experiences with men and she had frown ito have no faith whatever ih .their words or in their kind.", •If this1 statement is correct, the .theories that jealous lover did the shooting or that Stein was a murderer and suicide, do not solve the mystery but on .the other hand must be passed by as fallacies. It is claimed that Mrs. Stein had ^showed to her aunt, Hester Porter, a picture, of, fitfin and asked her how she nlis*looks. To this Miss Porter Is. alleged to have -replied, "Te looks to me just like all the rest of -them." First Statement Published. Added to the fact that Mi:ss Porter was a reputed manhater thruout Lou denville, it is said that she objected to Stein because he was a Hebrew and that she opposed the intermarriage of Jews and gentiles. Altho every effort at secrecy was made, It became known that friends of Stein have retained detectives to fclear up the mystery surrounding this extraordinary affair. They believe .that somewhere Within -the city of f)es Moines may be found the explanation of the crime—for they are certain that §tein did not suicide. These detectives conferred with Mrs. Bayard and her daughter, .Mrs. Stein, at some length at the Stein residence yesterday morning, it is said, and to them the two women related the ac tual iOory Of the shooting, Just as it occurred: The details have never been made public 'in Des Molnetf", but dis patches from Loudenville, inhere the women 'told their story to the coroner and to the sheriff, confirm that said •to have been given out at the Stein •residence here. Mrs. Bayard and her daughter are broken hearted over the terrible. ex perience. The strain upon .them has been one of horror. And it is ibecause they so dislike to live again .the' events of that terrible afternoon that they .have refused 'to give any statements whatever to the public. ggf Heard Only One Shot. ill But while the statement of the two women is of the greatest Interest It only- makes even more -impenetrable the mystery surrounding the afSair. the-women »say they heard buf one shot'fired. The "'murder occurred in the room' Just off that in which they were sitting. That '-(iiiree shots were fired there can be no doubt because there were two bullet holes in the head of Miss Porter and one thru that of Stein. Why then djd the women sitting in the next room, a few feet away, hear but one? And again, the women siay that just before that shot rang out. they tyeard a thud as If a picture of which Miss Porter and Bteln were supposed to be looking, had fallen to the floor. From the statements 'which Mrs. Bayard 4s said to have given out as an aid to' the friends of- Stein who are bending every effort to solve the mys tery, it appears that Stein, befonp he left Des Moines, ihad not written to his wife that he expected to call upon her. Instead, he was In Chicago on his way i? •1 -SKIN CLEARED.?5 V'-V^p. y. ..By 8impl« Change of Food, It .has been said by a .physician that most diseases are the result of indiges tion. There's undoubtedly much truth in the statement,' even to .the cause of many unsightly eruptions, -which many suppose can be removed by applying some remedy on the outside,- By '-changing her food a Kansas girl was relieved of an eczema which was a great annoyance to her. She writes: "For five months I was suffering with an eruption on my fa.ee and hands which our doctor called eczema and whi-ch caused me a great deal of -In convenience. The suffering was almost unbeamble. "The tnedicine I took only gave me temporary relief. One day I happened to read somewhere that eczema was caused Iby indigestion. Then I read that many persons had been relieved of-in digestion by eating Grape-iN-uts. "I decided .to try it. 3 liked the taste of the food and was particularly pleased to notice that my digestion was improving and that the eruption was disappearing as if by magic. I had at last found, in this great food, some thing that reached my trouble. "When I find a victim of this af fliction I remember my own former suffering and advise a trial of Grape iNuts food instead of medicines." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well ville," In pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genu'**, true, and full of human interest. to Loudenville bel'ore he notified her by win- that he was on the way. Not Wife Legally. The father, in his application for an injunction stopping the 'burial of Stein, urged that the woman who now claims to be his son's wife is not so legally. The father urgos that at the time Morris Stein is supposed to have been married to Mary Bayard he was in fact married to Ethel Ivempke, who was then lying at the point of death in the hospital. The father says that his son's first wife did not die for thirteen days after he was supposed to toe marriod to Miss Bayard. Ac cordingly he urges that the woman now claiming to be his son's wife is not, and accordingly has no rights whatever to the body. The father desires the body burled in the Jewish cemetery. Mrs. Stein refused to consider the wishes of the parents. She bought a lot in Glen dale cemetery and ordered the burial there. The wife has preference at law and she- was all powerful. Another Version. The mysterious man who accom panied the supposed wife and her mother home from Ohio, and who has refused to give his name has at last divulged the story he claims comes from the woman. He says that af ter arriving at the home of Miss Por ter he claims Stein complained of a headache and asked to lay down. He says Miss Porter showed him to an other room where he lay down on a couch. In a few minutes, he says, Stein called to Miss Porter and said look at that picture. Miss Porter went Into the room and looked at the pic ture. Th« strange uncle says that Stein then shot the woman in the back of thq head and as the others rushed Into the room shot himself be fore their eyes. This theory Is not accepted by the father who has retained local detec tives to collaborate with the Ohio of ficials.' Two Des Moines detectives visited the Steini home yesterday morning. It Is possible that since the body is to be held here by court order, the father may demand a post mortem examination to learn further If it would be possible for Stein to hold a gun in the position necessary to have Inflicted the wound in his head. The hearing on the Injunction will be held probably in the) course of a few days. The W. of W. Insurance If Jacoft Stein proves that Mary Stain was* not the wife of his son at the time of his death he will pre vent the. $3,000 insurance held by her husband in the Woodmen of the World, going to her. Mr. Stein, the father, claims that the son married his present wife ten days before his first wife, named Edith Lempke, died in the Methodist hospital in Des Moihes. $he died Aug. 26, 1907. Stein was married to his present wife Aug. 14, 1907, or at least he secured a rriarriage license) in Jefferson, la., on Aug. 14, of' that year. It is on these grounds that Stein claims that young Mrs. Stein Is not thet legal wife of his dead son. WAS GOOD WEEK FOR CORN. Copious Showers and Warm Weather Helped Crop.

Copious to heavy show ers occurred over the east central and northeast districts, where drouthy con ditions had prevailed during -the pre ceding three weeks. There is no por tion of the state where crops are now suffering for rain, but more moisture will soon be needed in the, extreme southeastern counties. In a few lo calities of small area, the showers were accompanied by wind squalls, which did some damage' to corn. Lightning was, however, severe in all sections. The rains retarded stack ing and threshing, and a few reports indicate that grain in shock was slightly damaged by excessive moist ure, but corn, potatoes, grass and pas tures were greatly benefited. The rains also put thei soil In good con-' dition for plowing, which Is now be coming general. Threshing returns Indicate about tjie same yields and quality of small grain as were report ed last' week. The apple crop will be very small.

Returning to the house he took hold of one end of the board and drove the nails ifnto his face and head by beatin? the nails into his face. The room where the attempt wasN made was saturated with blood and the blood had spurted as high as the ceil ing. The man continued to beat himself with the board until the loss of blood weakened him to such an extent that he was unable to do so further. The neighbors were notified and they called Chief Woofter who hurried to the home and summoned Dr. Gutch. The man was in a'fearful shape and is not yet past the danger point tho It is thought that he will recover.

Steele has been working at the pop factory, where he was engaged in washing bottles. He is a cripple and about 50 wears of age. The family have lived.in poor^ circumstances and the loss of the money it is supposed, caused him to become temporarily in sane. WAS INDEPENDENCE WOMAN.

In Minneapolis the city council in its desire to build a ibouievard around the shorets of (Lake Calhoun has just voted to purchase the necessary land amounting to 170,000 and to assess against the abutting, property only 60 per cent of the. cost, on the theory that it would not be fair to charge the adjoining land all of the expense of a •road which will benefit landowners for several miles back. Here is a voluntary "recognition or the fundamental principle of equity in all road building.' A city pavement benefits the abutting lots, but it also improves ,the town, serves every citi zen who moves on wheels, and benefits •the lots for several blocks back in each direction. The whole cost should •never be assessed upon the adjoining property. •Likewise with a country road, if permanently Improved with hard sur face, man will drive to it from points several miles distant and it. will be of as much use to tne traveling public back of it as to those living on abut ting property. The general public Should pay a part of its cost, a special road district should pay a portion, and only a small part, from 30 'to 40 per cent, )be assessed directly to the abut ting property. •Never will be possible to buMd permanent roads until this .principle is recognized in the state statutes. We have learned that wet lands could not be drained until .this principle of distributing the cost had been recog nized _-4\\ Engineers of experience have proved that a road consisting of six inches of ri-ver sand or cinders, four inches of crushed rock, topped with two inches of river sand and gravel, will make as good a country road as any city pave ment. Such a road fifteen feet *wide could be laid for $3,600 per mile.' If abutting property owners were to pay only $1,200 per mile of the cost, or $300 per quarter section, for the special benefit, besides its portion di! a general levy, these roads would be built in re sponse to an insistent cla.mor from t'he owners of the land. Su-c.li roads on. a twenty-five year bond issue, if built on every main traveled road in a' county, would not cost more than twenty-five cents an acre for the farms abutting, ten cents an acre for the farms in 'the special road district, arid seven-tenths of a miUlevy on city property. We are not ready for them now, but when we reach $200 per acre land, we will build stone roads, and we should be getting the legal machinery in readiness. 4 DRIVE OUT QUACK GRASS. ,If the farmer^ of Iowa iknow what •Is good for them they will give earnest .heed to the question of keeping their acres .rid of noxious growths, espec ially quack grass. The growth of this pestiferous blade has been on the in crease in Iowa, especially of late, so much"5-so that particular attention Is being given It by che Iowa, state de partment of agriculture committee on adulteration of foods, seeds, and other products. This committee consists o? ex-rOV. S. B. Packard, Prof. C. F. 'Corliss, of Iowa State College, and State Dairy Commissioner Wright, who have engaged Prof. L. H. Pammel, of the Iowa .State 'College, to collect all .the data he can bearing on the sub ject. Many tillers of 'the soil little realize what loss bhey really suffer from this nuisance, and Professor Pammel has ascertained that it costs from $10 to $20 an acre to clean out quack grass when once it gets well started. Quack grass thrives particularly in wet sea sons and as there has Ibeen an abund ance of rain 'this year 4)he spread of the grass has been proportionately rapid. The committee and Professor Pam mel are anxious to get all the data thev can about quack grass in order to lay -before the legislature the com ing winter arguments lot the need of While in the past the adulteration of Iowa fields by quack grass has been mostly in the northern part of the' my. "There's plenty more in .the pipes, state, it is now spreading .to 'the cen tral part, and the advance of the un desirable growth has been the cause of an aotive interest on the pant of the state. Quack grass gets its start a law to prohibit quack grass being allowed to grow unmolested, and to make it compulsory on the part of ithe people or 'the road supervisors to see that it is checked wlherever Cound. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and the sooner the farm ers awaken to the fact that .the eviil must be reckoned with seriously the sooner will they begin to save them selves worry and loss of profit on their crops. Professor Pammel calls attention to the fact that an experiment in exterm inating- quack grass was tried at Iowa State College on a, portion of the campus measuring about 160 square feet. The season being dry, the land was plowed early in. the spring. The crop was then given a harrowing, ex posing as many of the rootstocks as possible. They were then removed. The field was given a vigorous hoeing every time the grass appeared. The dry season was favorable to the elim ination. The professor cautions far mers not to allow the leaves to appear, and everything in the way of roots, seeds, etc.. should be taken out of the soil and completely destroyed by burn ing or rotting away in a pile.

The Burlington Hawkeye believes that "Mr. Adler, chairman of the pub licity bureau of the Iowa republican state central committee, should at once mount the forum'of justice and strike an attitude of strict impartiality to ward the senatorial contest and the different brands of republicanism in the state." Tho Davenport Democrat says: "How much Iowa corn will produce this year is the subject of active spec ulation among those who think they know something' about it. The basis they have for their guesses is last year's crop, which, in round numbers was 250,000,000. None of the predic tions go 10,000,000 bushels below that, while some of them go 20,000,000 bush els higher. There is no dissenting opinion on this point, however—the crop will sell for more than any other ever grown in the state." "The standpatters are announcing with some glee that Congressmen Smith apd Haitgen will be candidates for the senate. The idea is that all the standpat strength will gather around Smith and that Haugen will draw from Cummins. Let's have peace," the Har din County Citizen urges. This is from the Belle Plaine Union: "Candidly, this paper expects to see the battle reopened all along the line. We expect to see the warfare bitter and uncompromising. We may be mis taken, and hope we are. There ought to be a better way for republicans to settle their differences. There is a bet ter way, if only some of the rancorous partisans could be choked off." The Grand Junction Globe's senti ment Is as follows: "It seems to us that senatorial talk Is a little out of place just at this time. All tho nomi nations have been made and it will be up to the legislature to elect a senator when they meet next winter. It be hooves the republicans of the state now to get to work and see that every representative elected is a republican. To stir up the old factional fight is Just to Invite defeat at the polls this fall." "If wisdom shall be exercised in the nomination of Senator Allison's suc cessor the success of the republican ticket need not be jeopardized. But great care will need to be taken," the Eldora Herald says. tr "Candidate for congress James W. Good and candidate for the state sen ate Van Law, of Marshalltown, each made a speech at the Marshall county soldiers' reunion at LeGrand. This must have shocked somebody's sense of propriety terribly," in the opinion of the Taina News. The topic suggests consideration of the methods used by savings banks 'n several cities, copied from the German plan started at Geslar 85 years ag.\ the public schools savings plan. It was nat until 1885 that, thru the work of educators here who had seen It a re sults while abroad, it was introduced here. From the educational side It i3 based on the fact that 'the school perictl is also the formative period of habit and character, and that it is easier to inculcate in children than in adults the habit 'of saving. Since Its introducd-m in this country it has been.adopted in 1,098 schools in 113 cities located in 2'Z states. The aggregate of these school sav ings In one school in Pittsburg amounts to over $138,000, owned by 33, 635 depositors. Two systems are in ,use. Under the older, the Thiry sys tem, the pupils make out their deposit, slips and give them, with their pennies to- the teacher, who enters the credit on a blank and deposits the money in the local bank or banks that supply thp necessary stationery. The more modern and popular system uses the stamp method, the bank supplying tho .teacher with stamps of various ile •nomjnations and pass books. The teacher exchanges a stamp of the de nomination of the deposit and the pu- rpil affixes the stamp in Its pass book'. The stamp answers the purpose 'f a receipt and the book, with its stamps operates as a constant incentive to in .crease the savings. The value of this to savings banks is not so much the immediate use :)t the accumulations as it is the forma tion of habits by children who, in a few years, will be men and jme:i earning or making money and who, •with the habit formed, will becomc de positors, with some knowledge of and confidence in banks. It was nor-.'d, wherever this school savings system is in use, that during the. recent panic in confidence the children depositors made the least withdrawals.. DISTRIBUTION NOT SO EASY.' (Council Bluffs Nonpareil.) The problem of diverting from the cities to the agricultural districts, particularly to the south, a greater number of immigrants coming 'to this country, was more pressing a year ago than it is now, for tthe reason that not more .than one-third as many new comers are arriving this year as last. But the south had organized its cam paign to secure the immigrants before 'the flow decreased and is trying for those who do come. The results are interesting, and discouraging, alike to the south and to .those everywhere who 'hoped the ivvoi at features of our Immigration problem might be mitigated by distribution of tlhe new comers 'to a larger Held. A New York newspaper reports that land agents who .have tried 'to •turn the tide of immigrants from its accustomed channel to the south, have come to be looked upon as liunko steerers by the immigrants.

(Waterloo Reporter) The Marshalltown Times-Republican is making a campaign for the organi zation of a domestic local building and loan association, and Waterloo is used as one of the cities which have ex perienced benefits from such organiza tions. The, oomment on this city says, "Waterloo has four building and loan associations all thriving and earning better than 6 per cent for the savings of shareholders while furnishing thousands upon thousands of dollars Cor the building of homes." That's the truth, but It hardly tells the complete story. The first associa tion organized here began business In March, 1S7S, and has continued to gain in ppjpularity* and business all the time. The other associations are equally for tunate in public favor and are all en joying a good patronage. No other in stitution in Waterloo has contributed more to the general welfare of the city In a material way than have the local building and loan associations, and hundreds of homes have been erected thru .this ni^dium that would not havp •befen possible In any other way. Any other city can do as well as Waterloo has done, and no city can afford to be without one or more of these associa tions which, when carefully and con servatively managed, are a great ben efit to the community, and „to. tho shareholders, A "Drummer's" Song.

One of the latest prominent daily newspapers to desert Bryan is the Baltimore Sun, (Which In a double-leaded editorial In the thursday Issue of last week an nounced that It will support Taft, and told the reasons why.

It opposed Bryan in 1896 chiefly on account of the money issue, but supported Mm in 1900. It was hoped by ithe Bryan people that it telght be brought into line for Mm this time. It Is noticeable that the Sun did not make its announcement until after it had bad an opportunity to print and, comment on 'the Bryan speedh of ac ceptance last week,. Wednesday. 'The jinfluence of the Sun is so great in Maryland politics that it will' be al most out of the question for Bryan to carry that state in the face of its op position.

TTrom what has ibeen said tfl the public press of the' oountry generally, it looks as if he would be able to depend upon fewer dall^ newspapers now itlhan he had in either 1496 or 1900, and considerably fewer than Judge barker was able to command to 1904.

T^est of the Missouri river the dem ocratic ticket' will haVe only about one halt of the daily newspaper support which It had inl896, and only about two,-thirds of what it had in 1900. In 1896 practically every newspaper in that region, daily ^nd weekly, was for /ree silver. Four years later, after prosperity had come and trade with the .Philippines had begun to give promise of something big for the west ern states, more particularly those nearer the seaboard, the daily news paper support for Bryan was consider ably reduced, altho still stronger pro portionately, thatn in,any other section of the country. In 1904 Judge Parker had. scarcely any prominent newspaper support west of the Missouri river, This year Bryan will have a support there,that, if extended proportionately thruout the country, excepting the solid south, would give Chairman Hitchcock and Mr. Taft the genuine "willies." It has been a source of real anxiety to Mr. Bryan and his managers that they could not line up newspaper sup port-In the .east and in the so-called doubtful states. The most noted of the editorial converts ta.Bryanism this year is Har ry Watterson, who has been made the chairman of the literary bureau in the campaign. Mr. Watterson, if he were to write two columns in daily praise of Bryan for the Courier Journal from now until election day, would not put into that great newspaper one-half as much by way of complimenting the peerless leader as he has put into the aame paper In arears past by way of •kualng him JOHNSON WON'T BE DRAFTED Minnesota Governor Puts Quietus on Third Term Boom. Minneapolis, Aug. 18.—Governor Johnson will not be drafted. He re turned today to the capitol and served notice on the democrats of the state that if ihey ignore his wishes and nom inate hiin a third term toe will de clme the nomination. In other words, if the convention un dertakes to put him in the hole by nominating him, it will only put the party in the hole by making a vacancy at the head of the ticket for the stat? central committee to fill. "There is actually no change in the situation," the governor saiil when he reached his office today and found a group of newspaper men waiting to catechize him. "I have .expressed my self twice already, saying that I was not and would not be a candidate. I meant It then and I mean it now. It is out of the question for several rea sons for me to accept a nomination. For one thing, I don't believe in a third term for executive officers and have said so on tnany occasions. I have not changed my mind, and can not con ceive of anything that would allow me to change." "What if the convention sees fit to dlMVgarfi your statement and nominate you anyway." "Then I shall decline the nomina tion.*' he answered with an aggressive tilt of the chin. ''I couldn't do other wise without stultifying myself." The governor's friends believe his declaration will head off the move to kidnap him. The Bryan faction would g» ahead) even In spite of his state ment, "oeliveing that if he were nomi nated and refused he would put an erid to his presidential chances, but this faction will not be in control, tho it will have Hennepin, Stearns and several other counties that wer6 all Johnson, in the May convention.

ROOSEVELT WILL DO THINGS. «laeob- Riia Say» President Will Be Busy After* Hie Retirement. Minneapolis, Aug. 18.—"What is the country going to do with Roosevelt when his term expires?" Jacob A. Riis of New York, who, It has been" more than once" hinted," has dreams of playing Boswell to Johnson, perplexedly snapped his thumb-nail against his teeth a couple of times to day when the question was put to him at the' West hotel. Then he smiled happily.', 'What. is' Roosevelt going to do with the (jountry?' you had better have said," he chuckled.' "He will be do ing iliings—no question of that. He will be doinfe things for the benefit of his fellow men. But now I am so glad that he is to have this vacation—to go on the kind of a hunting trip he likes best.'' Mr. RUs came to Minneapolis, stop ping off on a. lecture tour to visit his daughter, Mrs. Alfred Owre, 1700 Port land avenue. He expects to lecture in iMinneapblis next winter. His young wife Is not with him on the,lecture trip. He laughed about the story cabled from Europe of his reported blunder in the etiquet of the Danish court. The story had it that .When invited to din ner by the king he refused to go un less, he. could brin^ his wife. "That was too bad," said Mr. Riis. "The king is such a good fellow that it is a shame to have him reported as acting that way. He didn't know my wife was with me until I mentioned it. Then he wanted to have her introduced at court and that sort of thing. Un fortunately I f611 ill and could not at tend the dinner, thus furnishing a grain of foundation for the yarn." The late lamented financial disturb ance was 'better understood in Europe than in the United States, according to Mr. Riis and failed to shake confidence in American investments for Europe ans, except the purely Wall street speculations, he said.

While the wheat and barley crop is generally good, the oats crop Is probably the poorest ever raised in the county. Various causes are as signed.

Pittsburg/Aug. 18.—Because police authorities refused him permission to attend his father's funeral, Robert Shankey, 3® years old, died in a cell .in jail of a broken heart. He was sentenced to forty-eight hours in jail for boisterous conduct at a picnic. His fathar died suddenly and offloials re fused to release the son till his sen tence was completed. "My heart will break," said he, and lie fell into a com atose condition from which he never recovered. l-i lil-v'«-in­ Tittttf- Chapter Coming out upon Pennsylvania ave nue, he strolled past the White House and at the wide flung gates paused while a carriage swept by him at the driveway. He saw within the grim face of Baron von Marhof and uncon sciously lifted his hat. though the am bassador was deep in thought and did not see him. Armitage struck the pavemeut smartly with his stick as he walked slowly on, pondering, but he was conscious a moment later that some one was loitering persistently In his wake. Armitage yras at once on the alert with all his faculties sharp ened. Ue turned and gradually slack ened his pace, and the person behind him immediately did likewise. The sensation of being followed is at first annoying. Then a pleasant zest creeps into It, and In Armltage's case the reaction was immediate. He was even amused to reflect that the shadow had chosen for his exploit what is probably the most conspicu ous and the best guarded spot in America. It was not yet 10 o'clock, but the streets were comparatively free of people. He slackened his pace gradually aud threw open his over coat, for the ulght was warm, to give an impression of ease, and when be had reached the somber facade of the treasury building he paused and studied it in the glare of the electric lights as though he were a chance traveler taking a preliminary view of the sights of the capital. A man still lingered behind him, drawing nearer now, at a moment when they had the sidewalk comparatively free to them selves. The fellow was short, but of sold tori ereetness and even In his loitering pace lifted his foot with the quick ift.'ccislon of the drilled man. Armitage walked to the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Fifteenth street, then turned and retraced bis* steps slowly past the treasury build ing. The man who had been following facOd about and walked slowly In the opposite direction, and. Armitage, quickening his own pace, amused him self by doggiug the fellow's steps closely for twenty yards, then passed him. si Whin" he had gliined trie advantage of a few feet Armitage stopped sud denly aud spoke to the man in the casual tone he might have used in ad dressing a passing, acquaintance. "My friend," he said, "there are two policemen' across, the street. If you continue to follow me I shall call their fa tP attention to you." "Pardon nje" "You are watching me, and the thing won't do." "Yes, I'm watching you, b^'— "But the'thing won't do! If you are hired"— "Nein! Nein! You do me a wrong, sir." "Then if you are not hired, you are your own master, and you serve your self ill when you take the trouble to follow me. Now I'm going to finish my walk, and I beg you to keep out of my way. This/is not a place where liberties may be infringed with im punity. Good evening, sir!" Armitage wheeled about sharply, and as his face came into the full light of the street lamps the stranger stared at him intently. Armitage was fumbling in his pock et for a coin, but this^ impertinence caused him to change his mind. Two policemen were walking slowly toward them, and Armitage. annoyed by the whole incident, walked quickly away. Ke was not wholly at ease over the meeting. The fact that Chauvenet had so promptly put a spy as% well as the Servian assassin on his trail quickened his pulse with anger for an Instant and then sobered him. He continued his walk and paused presently before an array of books in a shop window. Then some one stop ped at his side, and he lokoed up to find the same man he had accosted at the treasury building lifting his hat, an America^ soldier's campaign hat. The fellow was an extreme blond, with a smooth shaved, weather beaten face, blue eyes and light hair. "Pardon me. You are mistaken. I am not a spy. But it is wonderful it !s quite wonderful"— The man's face was alight with dis covery, with an alert pleasure that awaited recognition. "My dear fellow, you really become annoying," and Armitage again thrust his hand into his trousers pocket. "1 should hate awfully to appeal to the police, but you must not crowd me too far." The man seemed moved by deep feel ing, and his eyes were bright with ex citement. His hands clasped tightly the railing that protected the gia»s window of the bookshop.

BY THE O B9-ME I COMPANY JOHN AR1C1TAGE 18 8HABOWEP. RMITAGE dined alor* that evening and left the hotel at 9 o'clock for a walk. He unaffectedly enjoyed paved ground and the sights aud ways of cities, and he walked aimlessly about the lighted thoroughfares of the capital with conscious pleasure In the movement and color of life. He let his eyes follow the Washiugtou monu ment's gray line starward, and he stop ped to eujo.v the high poised equestrian statue of Sherman, to which the starry dusk gave something of legendary and old world charm. turned away impatiently the man e]ae ulated huskily, las though some over­ mastering influence wrung the worus from him: "Don't you know me? I am Oscar. Don't yoji remember me and the great forest, where I taught you to shoot aud fish? You are"— He bent toward Armitage with a fierce iusistcuce, his eyes blazing in his eagerness to be understood. John Armitage turned again to the window, leaned lightly upon the iron railing and studied the title of a book attentively. lie was silently absorbed for a full minute, iu which the man who had followed him waited. Taking his cue from Armltage's manner, h appeared to be deeply interested in the bookseller's display, but the excitement still glittered In his eyes. Armitage was thinking swiftly, and his thoughts covered a very wide range of time and place as he stood there. Then he spoke very deliberate ly and coolly, but with certain per emptory sharpness. "Go ahead of me to the New Ameri can and wait In the office until I come." The man's hand went to his hat. "None of that!" Armitage arrested him with a ges ture. "My name is Armitage—John Armitage," he said. "I advise you to remember it Now go!" The man hurried away, and Armi tage slowly followed. It occurred to him that the man might be of use. and with this in mind he returned to the New American, got his key from the office, nodded to his acquaintance of the street and led the way to the elevator. Armitage put aside his coat and hat, locked the hall door, and then, when the two stood face to face in his little Bitting room, he surveyed the man carefully. "What do you want?" he demanded bluntly. He took a cigarette from a box on the table. lighted it oud then, with an air of finality, BXed his gaze upon the man, who eyed him with a kind of stupefied wonder. Then there flashed into the fellow's bronzed face some thing of dignity and resentment He stood perfectly erect, with his felt hat clasped In his hand. His clothes were cheap, but clean, and his short coat was buttoned trimly about him. "I want nothiug, Mr. Armitage," he replied humbly, speaUiug slowly and with a marked (Jorman accent "Then you will be easily satisfied." said Armitage. "You said your uamc was"— ^At:f "Oscar—Oscar Breunig."-»i$-"s£.* Armitage sat -down and scrutinized the inau ugain without relaxing his se verity. "You tSluU you have seeD me some where, so you have, followed me in the streets to make sure. -When did this idea first occur to you?" "I saw you at Fort Myer at the drill last Friday. 1 have been looking for you slnoe and saw you leave your horse at the hotel this afternoon. You ride at Rock crfeek—yes*" "What do you do for a living, Mr. Breunlg?" asked Armitage. "1 was in the army, but served out my time and was discharged a few months ago and came to Washington to see where they make the govern ment—yes I am going to South Amer ica. Is it Peru—yes? There will be a revolution," He paused, and Armitage met his eyes. They were very blue and kind, eyes that spoke of sincerity and fidel ity, such eyes as a leader of "forlorn hopes would like to know were belli ud him when he gave the order to charge. Then a curious thing happened. It may have been the contact of eye with eye that awoke question and response between them. It may have been a need in one that touched a chord of helplessness In the other, but suddenly Armitage leaped to his feet and grasp ed the outstretched handsyof the little soldier. "Oscar!" he said, and repeated very softly, "Oscar!" The man was deeply moved, and tears sprang into his eyes. Armitage laughed, holding him at arm's length. "None of that nonsense! Sit down!" He turned to the door, opened it and peered into the hall, locked the door again, then motioned the man to a chair. "So you deserted your mother coun try, did you, and have borne arms for the glorious republic?" "I served in the Philippines—yes." "Rank, titles, emoluments, Oscar?" "I was a sergeant, and the surgeon could not find the bullet after Big Bend, Luzon, so they were sorry and gave me a certificate and $2 a month to my pay," said the manxso succinctly and colorlessly that Armitage laughed. "You have done well, Oscar honor me by accepting a cigar." The man took a cigar from the box which Armitage extended, but would not light it He held it rather absent mlndoil/ in his hand and continued to Btare. "You are not dead—Mr.—Armitage, but your father"— "My father is dead, Oscar." "He was a good man," said the sol dier. "Yes he was a good man," repeated Armitage gravely. "I am alive, aiiu yet I i'"1 "fr. Do vm sr." the idea? You were a good friend when we were lads together in the great forest.

Sergeant Os car Sit down. I am going to trust you. My affairs just now are not without their trifling dangers." "There are enemies—yes?" and Os car nodded his head solemnly in acv ceptance of the situation. "I am going to trust you absolutely. You have no confidants—you are not married?" "How should a man be married who is a soldier?, I have no friends. They are unprofitable," declared Oscar sol emnly. "I fear you are a pessimist, Oscar, but a pessimist who keeps his mouth shut is a good ally. Now, if you are not afraid of being shot or struck with a knife, and if you are willing to obey my orders for a few weeks we may be able to do some business. First, re member that I am Mr. Armitage. You must learn that now and remember it for all time. And If any one should ever suggest anything else"— The man nodded bis comprehension. "That will be the time for Oscar to be dumb. I understand, Mr. Armi tage." Armitage smiled. The man present ed so vigorous a picture of health, his simple character was so transparently reflected In his eyes and face that he did not In the least question bim. "You are an intelligent person, ser geant. If you are equally discreet able to be deaf wben troublesome ques tions aro asked, then I think we shall get on." "You should remember"— began OB car. "I remember nothing." observed Armitage sharply, and Oscar was quite humble again. Armitage opened a trunk and took out an envelope, from which he drew several papers and a •mall map, which he unfolded and spread on the table. He marked a spot with his lead pencil and passed the map to Oscar. "Do yoti think you could find that place?" The man breathed hard over It for aeveral minutes. "Yes. It would be easy." And he nodded his head several times as he named the railroad stations nearest the point indicated by Armitage. The place was in one of the mountainous counties of Virginia, fifteen miles from an east and west railway line. Armi tage opened a duly recorded deed which conveyed to himself the title to 2,000 acres of land also a curiously complicated abstract of title showing the successive transfers of ownership from colonial days down through the years of Virginia's splendor to the dread time when battle shook the world. The title had passed from the receiver of a defunct shooting club to Armitage, who had beta charmed by the description of the property as set forth in an advertisement and lured, moreover, by the amazingly small price at which the preserve was of fered. "It is a farm—yes?" "It Is a wilderness, I fancy," said Armitage. "I have never seen It I may never see it, for that matter. But you will find your way there, going first to this town, Lamar, studying the country, keeping your mouth shut and seeing what the improvements on the ground amount to. There's some sort of a bungalow there, built by the shooting club. Here's a description of the pldce, on the strength of which I bought it. You may take these papers along to judge the elze of ^the ^'in dle." "Yes, sir." "And a couple of good horses, plenty of commissary stores—plain military necessities, you understand—and some bedding should' be provided. I want you to takfe full charge of this matter and get to work as quickly as possible. It may be a trifle lonesome down there among the hills, but if you serve me well you shall not regret it" "Yes, I am quite satisfied with the job," said Oscar. "Aud after you have reached the place and settled yourself you will tell the postmaster and telegraph operator who you are and where you may be found, so that messages may reach you promptly. If you get an unsigned mes sage advising you of—let me consider «-a shipment of steers, you may expect me any hour. On the other hand, you may not see me at all. We'll consider that our agreement lasts until the first snow flies next winter. You are a sol dier. There need be no farther discus slon of this matter, Oscar." The man nodded gravely. "And It is well for you not to reap pear In this hotel. If you should be questioned on leaving here"— "I have not been here—is it not?' "It Is," replied Armitage, smiling. "You read and write English?" "Yes one must to serve in the army." "If you should see a big Servian wicn a neck like a bull and a head the size of a pea, who speaks very bad Ger man, you will do Well to keep out of his way unless yoo find a good place to tie him up. I advise you not to com mit murder without special orders. Do you understand?" "It is the custom of the country," assented Oscar in a tone of deep regret "To be sure," laughed Armitage, "and now I am going to give you mon ey enough to carry out the project I have indicated." He took from his trunk a long bill hook, counted out twenty new one hundred dollar bills and threw them on the table. "it is much money," observed Oscar, counting the bills laboriously. "It will be enough for your purposes. You can't spend much money up there if you try. Bacon, perhaps eggs a cow may be necessary—who can tell with out trying it? Don't write me any let ters or telegrams and forget that you have seen me if you don't hear from me again." He went to the elevator and rode down to the office with Oscar and dis missed him carelessly. Then John Ar mitage bought an armful of magazines and newspapers and returned to his room quite like ary trayeler taklng the comfort of his inn. ,-T^ 71 be Continued.). LOSES LOVE WITH MONEY.

MASON CAR WINS MarshalltoWn Automobile Wins Fast Road Race at the Old Soldiers' Re union at Traer—Does Ten Milea in 19'/2 Minutes. ,t C, At the old sorters' reunion at Traer Aug. 13 an automobile race was the grand feature of the day and was ap preciated by every one on the ground despite the few cars entered. There were ten machines booked for the race but after some of them were exhibited only five of the drivers had courage enough to enter. rc ft The machines in the race were a 4 cylinder Cadillac roadster, a 4-cylinder Ford, a 4-cyllnder Bulck roadster, a 2-cyllnder 28-H. P. Mason runabout and a 2-cylinder 28- H. P. Mason tour ing car. The course was ten miles long over country roads and was a first class test for a car's ability to negotiate Ijills, rough roads and bad bridges. The Cadillac was first to start and finished in 21 *6 minutes: five minutes later the Ford was started but owing to a loose clutch adjustment the driv er gave up the race two miles from the wires, but finished only nine min utes behind the Cadillac next Al Fra zer in a Mason runabout, a stock car belonging to the Johnston Automobile Co., was started eighteen minutes be hind the Ford but owing to neglect on the part of the flagmen Al drove the car one mile out of the way and found it necessary to go to Main street be fore reaching the wire. He could be seen from the judges' stand on the wrong road and In exactly fourteen minutes from the time of starting he passed a point which equaled the dis tance covered by the car that finished. This would have put him in 17% min utes ahead of the Cadillac but he was ruled out on account of not finishing under the wire. The next to start was the 4-cylinder Buick roadster which finished in 23 minutes. The last to start was Johnston in a Mason touring car and after being stopped seven times by people driv ing teams over the course, once by an automobile on a bridge over where it was necessary to stop the engine and assist a driver with his horses, once to pick up a flagman and once to let him out, he finished in 19% minutes and was awarded the prize, a large silk flag which has since adorned the space above the Johnston company's desk.

Charles Spencer led in a similar manner among the profession als, securing 193. But in the regular target shoot at sixteen yards one bar rel for each bird, Gedrge Maxwell, the one-armed shot, was the highest among the professionals, with two misses, ana Chauncey Powers of Decatur, 111., With four mistakes, was the highest with the amateur% Kautsky was second with 154, Deering got 155, Dixon 152, and there were a large number of others who tied at 151. Spencer, Herr and Stannard each missed three in the professional diss. All this is first class shooting.

Lower Grades ot Natives Ruled No Better Than Steady, However HOG PRICES DROP 5 TO 10 CENTS Small Shopping Orders Caused Strength at Start, But Firmness Soon Gave Way to a Weaker Tone —Lambs Not So Strong as Sheep, But Both Held Steady. Chicago. Aug. 19.—Cattle were stronger for the better sorts of steers, such as buyers for the eastern trade wanted. Packers, however, were not over anxious to lend support to the market. The lower grades of natives ruled no better than steady. Receipts of range cattle fell away sharply, as compared with the two previous days?. The rather light run of natives thus far in the week has afforded satisfac tory outlet for the natives and bulk of natives have gone to packers, shipping and export demand being a little under last week. However, general outlook for steers is not encouraging to much better price levels in the near future, accord ing to the traders. Westerns are now 25c lower than last week and In bring ing prices for the rangers down on a relatively cheaper basis than natives buyers should hold the westerns in rather good favor as against the me dium and plain-natives. Hogs. Hogs were strong at the start, on a few small shipping orders, but tihe firmness was a mere flash in the pan, and soon was dissipated, giving way to a weaker tone, and prices dropped 5@10 cents. A heavy decrease in lard exports is being touted as a bear argument so far as hogs are concerned. An ex porting house says: "Our friends in Hamburg have a rather bearish view on the lard situation in Germany. They claim that hog breeding in Ger many is increasing wonderfully, ow ing to the high prices of meats pre vailing during the past few jvears. High prices of lard have checked consumption and helped 'the sale of such substitutes as the cocoanut oil products, which are cheap, well liked and selling now in enormous quanti ties. Besides this, German is now securing a very large fruit crop, ap ples as well as plums, and this has always a checking influence on the lard consumption." Lard exports in July were but 31, 352,895 pounds, valued at $2,905,917, against 5S,064,023 pounds, valued at $5,362,5S6 in July, 1907. During the expired seven months of 1908 lard ex ports amount to $31,619,180, against $35,022,528 last year. S'neep* Sheep and lainbs were held on a •steady basis, altho lambs were not so strong. What feeders were available were taken care of, but it is a pasture de mand, and current conditions afford no criterion of what the fall market will be. A big Kansas feeder was looking around the sheep liouse find declared that not a single contract had been made on the range to date. He expressed the opinion that feeders would not go .to the range this year and that the feed bill would be the biggest item of expense. In Iowa and Missouri help is plentiful, consequent ly no trouble will be experienced in getting corn husked and less necessity for sheep and lambs to eat the crop on the ground. This is, of course, a bear ish view of the outlook, but-it contains considerable logic. Chicago Livestock. Chicago,- Aug. 19.

While strong weight feeders are quotable up to $4.50, that price is not popular and most buyers are reluctant to cross the 4c line. Cur rent demand is a grass a.nd roughage rather than a corn proposition and most buyers are looking for something that can be carried thru the winter for grazing purposes next summer. There is pretty good demand for a class of 700 to 800-lb. stockers around $3.65. Western cattle are coming in such decent quality tha.t. few have to sell below $4, consequently feeders will not tackle them. Stockyard Notes. A. A.

'Fighting Bob'? Goes on Retired List After Forty-eight Years of Service ROOSEVELT OFFERS TRIBUTE Letter Read at Reception Gives Ad­ miral Highest Commendation—Lov­ ing Cup Presented to Admiral by Fellow Citizens—Expects to Live to Be 100. Lake Mohonk. N. Y.. Aug. 19.—Far from grim warships and the sea, whore he spent nearly half a. century in the service of his country, Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans of the United States navy reached the age limit of 62 years yesterday and passed from the ranks of the country's active sea fighters. His has -been the longest service—but two years short of half a ccntury—of any man who has reached the office of rear ai'miral in the United States navy. All thru the day the hotel where Ad miral Evans is staying was thronged with admirers eager to congratulate him on his sixty-second birthday and to wisii him many more happy and useful years. Telegrams by the score reached him from all parts of the country, all expressing felicitation and affection. Many of the messages brought smiles to the admiral's face, while others brought just a suspicion of moisture to his eyes. The telegram in particular which caused "Fighting Bob" many smiles came from an old friend in Washington and said: "For some of us, skipper your llag will always fly." In reply to a friend who asked the admiral how he felt on his sixty-sec ond birthday he replied characteristic ally: "Kit as a fiddle. I am 62 years young ttfday and I expect to reach 100. I am taking on llesh at the rate of half a pound a day, and haven't got a thing to do but loaf. Who wouldn't get well under such circumstances'?" Glad to Please Employers. Last night a reception was held in' honor of the admiral, and a handsome loving cup was presented to him, the presentation being made by Dr.'An drew S. Draper, commissioner of edu cation of the state of New York.' Admiral Evans in responding said: "In one respect at least naval offic ers are exactly like any other worthy -servants of the people—they are glad when they have pleased their employ ers. From what I have heard and seen here tonight, it seems tha.t during my forty-eight years of actual service I "have given satisfaction to you, who may fairly be assumed to represent the people of the United States—my em ployers. ""It may not be out of place for me to say that during my forty-eight years ot service I have done all in my power C. F. SMITH, Auctioneer. I iff/ 3f.- to uphold the honor and« dignity of my country, and that I have loved the dear old flag as I love nothing else in this world. That I have suffered se verely under that flag must be evident to anyone who sees, but I would livo my life over again just as I have lived it if I knew the suffering was to be a thousand times as great. I go to the retired list with a feeling that it is a reward for long and honorable serv ice, and I hope to enjoy the rest and comfort it may bring, ifnless some em ergency shall call me back into active service, when I shall give all that re mains of me to my country as willing ly as I have given the best years o. my manhood." Commended by Roosevelt. President Roosevelt was unable to attend the reception, but he sent a let ter expressing his high esteem for Ad miral Evans and adding: "His has been one of the most hon orable careers of our public service. All good Americans owe him a debt of gratitude. In a peculiar degree his names typifies the growth o^ our navy from the days of Farragut to the day when Admiral Evans himself brought into the Pacific waters the mightiest war fleet that had ever appeared west of Magellan or east of Suez, command ing this fleet during the first period of a voyage such as no other fleet of the kind of any nation has ever taken. "It is eminently appropriate that tho reception to Admiral Evans should be given in what you well call 'a. veritable temple o£ peace,' for the United States navy is the best guarantee of peace we have, and all men who believe in the peace of justice thruout the world, should do everything that in them lies to maintain and build up this navy."

BEST TREATMENT FOR CATARRH The entire inner portion of our bodies is covered with a soft, delicate lining called mucous membrane this is kept in healthy condition by the nourishment and vital vigor it receives from the blood. So long as the circulation remains pore tbia membrane will be healthy, but when the blood becomes infected with catarrhal impurities and ffbisons this inner lining of the body becomes irritated and diseased, and the unpleasant and serious symptoms of Catarrh commence. There is a tight stuffy feeling in the nose, watery eyes, buzzing noises in the ears, often slight deaf ness, difficult breathing, etc. The disease cannot be reached by external treatment, though such measures afford temporary relief in some instances. S. S. S. cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood of all impurities and poisons. Then as rich, pnre Mood circulates through the body, the inflamed, irritated membranes heal, the dis charge ceases, headaches are relieved and every symptom disappears. Catarrh, being a disease in which the entire blood circulation is affected, can only be cured by a remedy that goes to the very bottom afld removes every particle of the impurity from the blcxxL And this is jnst what S. S. S. does. Book on Catarrh and any medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA, -ilk. Read Finn's Letter Radcliffe, Iowa, July 13, *08. Times-Republican, Marshalltown.
