Theechoes at Forest Hill still laugh, now and then, over the quips sprinkled thruout the quiet atmosphere by your members. My own success in appropriating those jokes of yours and passing them off as my own has made me feel that I am almost entitled to a union, card in your order. May you always be able to collect on your wit ticisms on the union scale. Speaking seriously, as one should to .professional humorists, the rest of the world owes you real gratitude and best good wishes, gentlemen. You are true spec ialists in dyspepsia.

NO FLURRY ENSUES Stock Exchange Unexpectedly Quiet After Failure of Brown Co.—Af fairs of Concern in Bad Tangle. New York, Aug. 26.—iNo fu^her suspensions of members of the stock exchange are expected to follow th£t of Brown Co.. according to tha statement from the office of the sec retary of the exchange today. This announcement inspired a feeling of relief among brokers, many of whom have been fearful of .further... unfav orable developments, So involved are the accounts of the suspended firm of Brown Co. that it is believed several days will be re quired before the assignee can esti mate the liabilities anjd assets. These accounts are greatly complicated by buying for the account of the sus pended firm of stock which they had sold to^ other brokers and were unable to deliver. The losses the firm suffered under this process will swell the total liabilities and add greatly to the work of the assignee. The failure had much less effect on the exchange today than might have been anticipated in view of the mag nitude of the firm's transactions. Reports were circulated in the finan cial district today, that an official of a New York trust company shared In the speculation which swept Brown Co., under, until he saw the venture was about to result disastrously, &nd the official had then withdrawn. The directors of the trust company are said to be in session, today, inquiring into the conduct of their official's connec tion with the suspended firm.

GOVERNOR'S COURSE APPROVED His Decision to Call Extra Session of Legislature to Amend Law So as to Permit Selection of Senator at No vember Election Is Sanctioned— Leaders of Both Factions in Line. Special to Times-vlepublican. Des Moines, Aug. 26.—Harmony lias perched upon the republican banners as a result of the conference in this city yesterday. Republicans of all shades of factionalism were holding their breath for fear that the confer ence would result in a general row that would break up in everybody calling everybody hard names. Instead every republican who attended the confer ence went home with a feeling of sat isfaction at the outcome and with a feeling of security that with the bur den taken off the 'backs of the legis lative nominees the state is insured to have a republican legislature elected in November. There was discussion during the •morning hour to the effect that the senatorshlp would not be mentioned. Instead the conference plunged into it immediately and the entire afternoon was spent largely In the discussion of that proposition. When Senator Dollt^ ver entered the room he was greeted by lusty cheering. When Governor Cummins entered the room a few mo ments later every republican went wild with joy and he was cheered as heart ily as was Dolliver. At the close of the conference Attorney General Byers praised .all the leaders of the party by name, including Allison, Perkins, Lacey and Cummins, and proposed three cheers for the bunch, and fevery repub lican joined in the cheers, .thus seal ing. the harmony program, which was a^fitting.endlug, as the conference ha(l started by singing "Bl^st ibe the Tie That Binds." Every One in Line. When Carl Franke, chairman of the state committee, called for order the room was packed. He apologized, say ing that it.vfas the largest room he could get. There were fully 800 packed Into the hall that was designed to hold about 400. He stated that he was in formed that Governor Cummins had determined to call the legislature to gether,^and he tailed upon the gov ernor to address the conference and state his reasons. The standpatters generally and gradually fell in with the idea of the'special session to leave the nomination of a senator to the people, and thus take the burden off the legis lative nominees, provided democrats are not (allowed to vote for the repub lican nominees. Governor Cummins met this fully by saying that he was of the same mind. Only once- did it appear that there was liability of a break in the har mony scheme, and that was when Lacey was called upon, but progress ives now only laugh at his remarks and his friends are spending some time apologizing for him. Cummins Explains Attitude. Governor Cumpins in brief said: "The suggestiori just made 'by the chairman presents a matter both del icate and difficult. I want to be and must be absolutely candid and fair with every member of the conference. I have .been a republican all the days of my life and expect to die still firmer in the faith than now. "I have a profound belief in the principles of the republican party. No expression can measure the disaster that in my mind would follow a demo cratic supremacy. I promise 'here and now, no matter how difficult the sug gestion of the chairman, that so far as I am concerned I will devote all my time and energy to render the success of the republican party not only sure but overwhelming. I expect to stand in this campaign as in those preced ing it for every republican on the ticket, not generally but specifically and by name. Puts Aside Ambition. "I now come to the deliGate and dif ficult matter. Some of you have possi bly learned in the past that I have been interested in the senatorial matter. I have attempted to put away all per sonal interest so far as I can in the present emergency. Since the death of Senator Allison I have been over whelmed with letters and have been busy interviewing those who have not written. These letters and interviews have not been altogether from those who have hitherto supported me. I had a real desire to know what my duty was to this commonwealth. I consider my duty to all the people of the state higher and more sacred than my duty to a political organization. "For years I have been convinced that the election of senators by direct vote of the people should be adopted. I have labored for this policy and spoken for this policy. Until the time comes when it is lawful to vote direct the nearest approach is selection by indirect votes of political parties. Leaves It to the People. *Uowa adopted this policy less than two years ago and I am convinced that one of the chief reasons for the adoption of the primary election law was that it made a primary choice of United States senator. That- choice was made last June and no choice was ever more universally assented to. I 1903 E Conference Attended By 800 Agrees on Program of Har mony in Coming Campaign do not believe there were any consid erable number of republicans any where who did not assent. But the hand of death has removed the nom inee of the party and I believe it my duty to allow the republicans to make another choice. I believe when fairly and honestly made it will be univers ally acceded to. "W6 are about to select a United States senator for six years and they will in all probability be years fraught with much of vital interest. In de ciding on a special session of the legislature I have acted as I felt was my duty as governor of the state. So much for that. Now one word from the republican standpoint. Next to my desire to serve the state is my de sire to serve my party, and I feel grat ified that the two lines of duty seem to run together. Duty Leads to Party Benefit. "Now forgive me if I say that 1 know there is an intense feeling over this state on the United States sena torship. There is no feeling in my mind not to recognize the right of difference of opinion. But this dis UiiiCl Cllvv vl \J 1111 11* lliitj W N» position is to express opinion on tli'p News. TOvtva SSoc legislative candidates. Many reput^, licans feel so deeply about it tl^ they are moved by this disposition express their feeling in their vc/t" on the candidates with relation to 5" candidate's position on the senator.'^ I want for the good of the part settle it in some other wjiy that/ the expression of the votes co ne legislative nominees. It seems to .ne that if the republicans go to the polls to express their beliefs direct on the senatorship that question will not enter in their votes on the legislative nom inees. "It has been a relief to find that what is my duty to the state is the path that leads most surely to insure republican majorities for my party." The governor spoke further that he was in favor of such safeguards as would "exclude absolutely every demo crat in the state of Iowa," from vot ing for the republican nominees for senatorship. s"v Dolliver is Heard. Governor Cummins was followed by Senator Dolliver, who said that he had approached the idea with some mis givings. He said, however, that the 8ivuiBS. sa discussion of what course should be pursued. He had favored unanimous consent to the electkm of every nom inee to the legislature. He was much gratified that Governor Cummins had taken such a radical stand against the democrats voting for republican nom inees, but felt that the results might not be so generally consented to. This was met with cries of "Why not?" Senator Dolliver answered in rather ambiguous terms but later renewed the assertion and again it was met with cries of "Why not?" To this Senator Dolliver declared that it would be difficult 'to convince every one that the democrats in reality -did mot. take a-hand in the selection of the republican nominees. He said further .that the United States senatorship had been magni fied too much in his estimation and that in the past the candidates for the legislature had been interfered with on that proposition too much, and that he had done his part in that line. For his part he said he would rather he governor of Iowa than hold'any of fice in the gift of the state, and some one from the audience cried out: "Wish you had told us that 'before last June." Carroll Approves Cummins' Course. Auditor Carroll, the republican nom inee for governor, followed Dolliver. He said he- had been called into con sultation by the governor on the mat ter and that while he had not always agreed with the governor on the prop er method in this instance he believed now it was.the right course and he called upon all present to assist him in working out the details. He compli mented the governor highly and said ithat he wis sure the governor was moved by right motives In the mat ter. Perkins followed Carrolli and made a very nice speech. Lacey followed Perkins, and while he could not re frain from making some jabs, he left no ill feeling. He said that in a cer tain period of the history of France it was the custom of the king to issue a decree and then call on the people for advice, and he felt that while he had been called to Des Moines to ad vise he was in a position only to rati fy what had been done. Some in the audience told him to "cut it out and talk harmony" but he proceeded to say that he did not want repeated what happened two years ago when the head of the ticket (Cummins of course) ran 20,000 behind and then there were cries of "Who did it? You fellows were the ones who cut the ticket." Later he said he was going to support Taft th_ nflrtv „TSMe ana I1B JS WU11UB1I1. llttS uttu ne saia ne was gume oui.F».. and Carroll and was about to end there states infantry team, which scored S, when someone asked him if he would support Kendall for congress In his district, to which hd answered yes. All Talk Harmony. harmony and said that a defeat. of the legislature. Congressman Smith said this was the' day to say whether there would be two parties or one in the re publican ranks, and then answered it of the republican ticket is now as sured. The conference was largely the work of Chairman Franke and he has done much to foster the spirit in which it was held with the singing of the old hymn, '"Blest be the Tie That Binds," for the opening and with three cheers for the leaders at the clojse.

This remarkable growth of corn was found on a farm In Fremont town ship, northwest of Webster City. Its length Is 195 Inches, and on it are two ears of corn, It would take a gang of corn husking giants to husk a field of this corn. No ordinary man could do it without first cutting down the stalks.

Twenty-fifth Annual Reunion et lowe i| Falls, Sept. 9. Special io"Tltaes-Repub»can- Iowa Falls, Aug. 26.—The program was Issued today for the twenty-fifth annual reunion of the Hardin County Veterans'- association, to be held in this city, Sept. 9. The following Is the program, that will be given In tne Met ropolitan opera- house: convening the ag to permit the people to vote for Unlted Statea 8enator at the general r„m parties should have the right to de- serving to the voters this vital privi lege. In these times, especially, the welfare of the country imperatively demands that authority to make laws shall spring directly from the body of .our citizenship. The Thirty-second general assembly- enacted a statute providing for primary elections, and one of the chief reasons for Its pass age was to establish a way in which voters could express their preference •as between candidates for the senate. On June 2, the voters of the several parties, In accordance with the law, designated their candidates for the of fice of senatok\ Death has intervened the candidate selected by the voters of the republican party is no longer amongst the living, and the choice made is, therefore, unavailing. The senator to be elected toy the Thirty third general assembly will serve the people of his state and of his couft-try for the period of six years—years that will toe full of the most difficult and perplexing problems, In view of the premises cited, I believe it to be my duty to do all that my office permits me to do tdward securing to republican voterg of this stgite another oppor tunity to declare their choice for sena tor. If the choice be expressed at the November election, as it should toe, the only,expense incurred will be the cost of a special session of the general as sembly. This will be insignificant, when compared with the value of the privi lege'to be preserved. I feel sure that the taxpayers of the statue will unhes itating!^ approve such an expenditure in order to provide for an unforeseen contingency, and to clothe the voteira of the republican party with, the -au-v thority to. select their candidate for this liigh office. The other political parties will present to the coming gen eral assembly their candidates for the senate chosen by their voters, and It would be a denial of common justice If the voters of the republican party were' prevented from presenting their candidate chosen in the same way.

Use Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia. Everyone is subject to indiges tion. Stomach derangement follows stomach abuse, just as naturally and just as surely as a sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol. When you experience sourness of stomach, belching of gas and nauseating fluid, bloated sensation, gnawing pain in the pit of the stomach, heart burn (so-called), diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or chronic tired feeling—you need Ko clol. And then the quicker you take Kodol—the better. Eat what you want, let Kodol digest it.

Special to Times-Kepublican. Iowa Falls, Aug. 26.—Uncle Johnny Hansen, a pioneer resident of this city, and 91 years old, died last evening. •He was struck by a fast mail train on the Illinois Central yesterday, and was fatally injured. He was taken to the hospital, where his injuries were "dressed by the .company's surgeon, Dr. W. M. .Morton, but it was difficult to determine ^fully whether the in jured pan sustained internal injuries. iMr. Hansen liyed in East Iowa Falls, and was returning home, carrying a watermelon in a sack which he had swung -over his shoulder. He was talking down the track at the time of the east-bound flfct flay train on the Central was due. The engineer whist led for the block at the depot just j^s -1A. train rounded a curve, and he evidently saw Mr. Hansen on the track a short distance ahead of the engine. People at the depot state that Mr. Hansen must have seen the ap proaching train for he stepped off the track just before the train reached him. It Is the supposition of those who witnessed the accident that Mr. Hansen supposed he was far enough off the track, but missed the calcula tion and was struck. He was thrown several feet and struck against a freight train that was standing on the passing track. He sustained a broken shoulder, a badly lacerated hand and a -severe scalp wound that extended from the forehead back to the top of the head. Mr. Hanson's advanced age was against him.

Special to Times-Republican. Nevada, Aug. 26.—An automobile that actually scares horses to death, is not a desirable piece of property, and that is the reason that Roy Shepherd, editor of the Maxwell Tribune and president of thei Shepherd Publishing Company, has a "chug cart" that is on the market. Shepherd's auto is no different in appearatlce than the ordinary machine and all are at a loss to know why horses look at it in a different light from an ordinary machine. Sure it is that they do, however. There is some hoodoo attached to that "buzz wagon" that is hard to shake off. Whether the registry number contuins a multiple of "13" is not known. It maybe that the machine was purchased in the dark of the moon and its home may be near a graveyard, but nevertheless it scares horses. Since the middle of July, two horses have actually dropped dead from fright at the sight of the machine. The first victim met his fate over near Mingo. Mr. Shepherd and a party of friends were driving along the road when Mrs. Carl Kleiggeist} and children were met. The auto stopped and the horse was led by without trouble. The party had only just resumed their journey, when upon looking back they saw the horse sink to the ground in his tracks, dead. Yesterday, as Mr. Shepherd and a party of friends were nearing Boone, something got wrong with the machine, and they sent into Boone for another aiitoist to come out and assist them. While they were standing near the road, L. E. Hemmerstedt, a farmer, drove' up, the horse took fri?ht, reared up and fell dead in his tracks. In neith er case was Mr. Shepherd or his chauf feur in any way responsible for the ac cident. MOVING PICTURE ROMANCE. Miss Laura Robinaon, Iowa Falls, Mar ried to Herbart Black.

Elf HARMONY. The conference has come and gone. The Kilkenny cats were there, but somebody threw a bootjack and •they adjourned their convention. •Harmony reigned Instead. According to the latest Methodist interpretation as expounded toy a no less noted di vine 'than Senator Dolliver, the text, "liove' thine enemy," has become the doctrine of necessity since it is tlie only way we can get. along with him. There was disputation and disserta tion and backsliding, of course, -but the outcome was harmony and all candi dates came away smiling. iLet ,.us have peace. iSome arrived loaded and prepared and armed to deliberate, but Governor Cummins relieved them of the nieces-, slty. Possessing the constitutional duty and privilege of calling an extra session of the legislature he notified his- friends in advance of the con ference that he had decided to call the extra session and that the de cision was irrevocable. Thus stripped of all further, necessities, there was nothing left to be done but' to ratify. And\be it said to the everlasting credit of the republican 'party, the ratifica tion was made unanimous, .practically. Mr. Bryan has been so notified. Neither Senator Dolliver, nor Lacey, nor Perkins, believed that the gov ernor's decision was a wise one, but they e&ch acquiesced in it with the one proviso that the amended primary be so equipped with exclusion treaties as to keep the democrats out forever and forever. In this they were ap proved 'by the governor, who made it eloquently clear that he wanted, to win a nomination by republican votes or not at all. Candidate'.Carroll could see merit in a 100,00® majority. Con gressman Smith admitted that the governor had not' asked for •'his ad vice but he was for harmony. Canrff didate Kendall brought good ch\er artd •harmony in at a critical m.pment, and Congressman Dawspn expressed hife appreciation of harmony on the ground that it was needed iri the 'Second con gressional 'district. Attorney General Byers then moved three chieers tor Hepburn, and Henderson, and Lacey, and Cummins, too, and Chairman Franke moved, to adjourn, carrying it unanimously 'before anybody had a chance to sit down again. Lafe Young had commanded, "Let us have peace!" and there wait peace. r- The political situation is now up'to the special session of the legislature for its future protection. When the candidates for the legislature con vened in the lobbies in the morning each discovered that they, one and all, had already received identical in vitations from solicitous acquaintances to. declare, each for himself, on the senatorship. A panoramic view of this situation had passed before the governor some two weeks .previous In the form of about 2,000 letters. To accept or reject in each and every case seemed to be about equally fatal. The governor's plan promised to provide that replies be declared unnecessary and its popularity grew "with close a.c quaintanee. It was adopted by a cau cus of congressional candidates held in the forenoon, acquiesced in at-* a caucus of non-h'ero worshiping repub licans at about noon, ratified toy the general conference after noon' and thoroughly endorsed by the state cen tral committee before evening. •Few auch good day's work were ever done for the republican party. It is believed that all republicans will unite in the legislature in amending the pri mary law. so as to provide for a re submission of the senatorial issue to a vote of the people of the party. Cum mins will either win the nomination in such a manner as to make his elec tion by the republican members of the next legislature, unanimous or some other man will win it upon the same conditions. The policy of proscrip tion will no longer invite reprisal. There is harmony until somebody spoils it again. 1 THE LABOR VOTE. As to the. possihle strength to come to Kryanism this year as the result of any considerable element of union lahor support, which support there is every evidence will Jae divided, a co&bparlson taken from, the census re ports will be interesting. For in stance there are in the United States more Odd Fellows and Freemasons than members of the American Fed' tt 4- bor, the Industrial Workers of the World and all the unaffiliated un ions. In 1900 approximately 29,000,000 persons were reported to be engaged in gainful pursuits, and 10,000,000 of these were on the farms. Then came 7,000,~ 000 in factories and building trades, not quite 6,000,000 in personal service, 3,000,000 in merchandising and 2,000,000 in the labor unions affiliated with the American Federation of (Labor. How ever there were more 'blacksmiths and machinists than coal miners, more dressmakers than cottonmlll operat ives, more seamstresses than printers or tobacco workers, and teachers out numbered any mechanical occupation except carpenters. Commenting upon these figures the (New York World points to the fact that less than one-fourth of the vot ers employed in factories are members of a labor union, that about one-third of those employed by railroads are union men, and that even among un ion men there has been a marked tendency tlo divide their vote. All of these facts have an Important bear ing upon the probable success of Mr. PROTECTING A GILDED FOOL. There is enough of the irrational about the case of Harry Thaw to till book. 'From the time he first met Evelyn Thaw until their marriage, then on to the killing of Stanford White by the gilded fool, then on to the present time, when he is con flned as a lunatic and has had him self wrongfully declared a bankrupt, the whole story has been one replete with sensation of the most unwhole some sort. If it was not the Immoral or criminal feature that was foremost it was the rapacity of the lawyers that caused comment and if neither of those it was the perjury of people who would have sworn their very souls to perdition to get the young man of millions free from the clutches of the law. At first ^a jury would not acquit Thaw because the evidence from his own relatives and ^others Was that he was sane, he having been unwilling to admit his. insanity, thinking he could go scot free on the "unwritten law" theory. But the jury did not believe he was justified and refused to set him free. The second time he came up for trial his relatives turned up with' plenty of evidence that he was not mentally sound at the time he killed White and went back into the earlier years of his life to prove it. They wanted to save his. neck even if he went.to a madhouse, and they ac complished their end. Everybody who has had a whack at the Thaw millions since Harry made the unfortunate mistake of killing a man, has shown a most up-tordate greed, and one lawyer, probably the poorest one that wa,s connected with the Thaw case, Is asking for $80,000. It* is to avoid payment of these bills -or litigation over them that Thaw went into bankruptcy. He and his friends realize that in litigation he would get the worst of it, so he was been persuaded to save himself the payment of these debts, altho the method is one that will be frowned .upon by a great many people, espec ially when it is known that he has an income of 430,000 a. year, out of which he could pay «every cent he owes,, if he were an honorable man. And .the climax to all of this is that we are told the federal* court could or der' hifft to another state, and if it did so lie would be free Gompers in his effort to throw the la- nothing but talk the whole day long. toor vote to Bryan. frO'm the custody .of New York- state, -.which could not get him hack within her borders. It is highly interesting, if not edi fying, to reflect on the fact that Thaw, who'is'either'a sane murderer or an infeane one, and is in confinement as a result of his taking a man's life, "gets the., benefit of the bankruptcy law with a $30.00,0 income 'back of him, the same aja does a man ,on whose mind and .methods there is no reflec tion, arid Who has no means. Consistency is a jewel that is not visible to the naked eye anywhere in tVe Thaw case. And how about lion- esty? It jy-A-'-rT-i .r Topics of the Times.

"i In 'Minnesota the democrats, having renominated the governor for a third term, apparently think there is no merit td the saying, "Too much John son." 7 1 The Davenport Democrat says to look out for the various interpretations of the friendly and courteous inter view between Bryan and Cummins, "which has no sort of significance." Does It not signify that men can be in politics and remain gentlemen? It seems rather an appropriate name that is borne by Chief of Police Lock, at Mason City, for he has often fro lock 'em up.

With houses as scarce as they are in this city owners put them up at auction for quick sale and get practically all they are worth without the delay and uncertainty of 'the ordinary method.

A lot of lazy fellows who wouldn't enlist in the navy on the promise of a trip around the world have been sore at themselves since they read of the sporting events with which our Aus tralian neighbors have been entertain ing the American visitors.

With all the good re publican times we have had lately the election depression seems to be looked on more and more as a bugaboo. a There was always something incon sistent about Bryan. 'Some time ago he told Kern he would share the White House with him if elected and lie has Just now gone to Indianapolis to assist in notifying the Hoosier nom inee of his being slated.

Good breeding will also help some, jidds the Quincy xier ald. Common sense and a proper Christian spirit beats them all in the marriage relationship," says the Bur lington Hawkeye.'

"The figures for 190S are yet to be recorded, but there is no good reason why they should not be in geometrical progression with those of previous years." "The national road law is to be en forced in many parts of the country since there are so many accidents from automobiles by people turning out to the wrong side of the road," as serts the Forest City Summit. "This is a matter that should be kept In mind by everybody when traveling on the public road. If you ar'e on the right side of the road and anything happens you are not to blame, other wise you cannot collect damages in case you are damaged. When meeting oije, and especially an automobile on the public road, always turn to the right side of the road." "Des Moines is slow," the Ames Times claims. "Here is a dashing young widow with flashing black eyes and an alabaster complexion writing to the mayor of Denver to secure a husband for her.

Brown, senior vice president of the New York Central linesi, says that 90 per cent of the men In charge of the highest branches of railroad op eration today rose directly from the, ranks and worked their way up gradu ally, thru merit and not by short cuts of favoritism or "pull." That's a high per cent, but it is undoubtedly cor rect. And the same thing is true, to a greater or less degree, with all other forms of business activity.

"j" FEWER DOCTORS. ^'(Burlington Hawkeye) It is stated on eminent authority that the number of physicians Is growing smaller in Iowa. This is said to be due to the fact that the require ments are greater and that a greater number of applicants fall to pass the required examinations. But there are other reasons. One is that the telephone and improved roads and streets make it possible for one physician to cover a larger territory than was .possible In former times. And another and the principal reason is that We do not need so many phys icians. The doctors and the sanitary experts have been digging the ground from under their own feet. They have not contented themselves with com batting disease after It has appeared q,nd has begun to take toll among the children and the elders, but they an ticipate the coming of such diseases, and they close the door, making it im possible for them to enter. 'In Germany there has been a not able decline In the birth rate, and yet the Increase In the total population Is a marvelous one. For the sanitary boards and the big doctors have been busy and they have succeeded in re ducing the death rate to an even greater extent than the birth rate has dwindled. People live lbnger and there is no longer the awful death rate among Infants. And what Germany has been doing, that is being done In this country and especially in Iowa. And the work has just fairly begun. It is surely creditable to the medical profession that it works unceasingly and enthusiastically along lines which mean but one thing, and that Is the gradual elimination of a large percent age of physicians. People are being taught to take care, of their health and to keep their premises, their tpwns and cities so clean and pure that there will be small chance for a dreaded enemy to enter. People are being taught the rudiments of medical sci ence, they are learning what to do In all sorts of cases, and they are learn ing to live in such a manner that the danger of disease will eventually be re duced to a minimum. The doctor Is practically engaged in the work of self-destruction. He is working toward the time -when, like Othello, he will "find, his occupation gone. And it is indeed a credit to him that he is doing his level best to speed the dav. V« —:—1 THE FIGHT IS ON. (Denison Revievtf.) v" To: the Sioux City Journal, the •Marshalltown Times-Republican, the Nonpareil, the Register and Leader and all the noble army.of academic dis putants as to the rights and wrongs of the senatorial succession, we feel like applying that oft received. and often given admonition of our childhood, "Shut up,". The Marshalltown paper insists up on the divine right of pummins. Per kins, with a twinkle in his eye, which most of .his critics fail to see, sug gests Carroll for senator and Clarke for governor. The Register and Leader, the Cedar Rapids Blythite, thunder fatuously as to harmony and good faith and bad faith, while Lafe Young spends his Capital lavishly In inventing snares for Ctimmins feet. Gentlemen, dt is a /condition, not a theory, that confronts us. The sena torship Is a plum worth, fighting for and it is going to be fought for. If Cummins can beat Haugen and Lacey and Srtiith with the standpat backing behind: them, he will win. The men who have been following the governor devotedly for years are not going to allow the victory to be wrested from them unresistingly. The republicans who were "anything to beat Cum mins" did not die with the senior sena tor and they also will fight to the last ditch. As to postponing the fight until after election, that is all piffle, along with the rest of It. The fight is on now. The man who loses any point in the game Is a. chump and deserves the defeat that will be his. No truce that might now be de clared could be lived up to. And! If it was, no one would believe it. Our advice Is to shake hands and get to your corners, for "Time" has been called. The effect of the senatorial fight upon the rest of the election is diffi cult to estimate. In some places ft will Insure a large republican vete *.?yw,V* •v'i'tf ",»T Bt which will favorably effect the head of the/ ticket but which will be dis astrous to other candidates, it is very possible, that the outcome will be the election of a democratic sena tor and it is sure that the republicans will lose scores of county offices on account of the great contest. It Is unfortunate, but it is inevitable, and the preliminary palaver among a coterie of editors who would rather be burned at the stake than agree with ona another is such child's play that it waxes tiresome. Cement Sewer Pipe. Portland cement pipes were made in England probably as early as 1825. be fore the period when earthenware sew er pipes were beginning to be man ufactured. Cement pipe of large size, with socket joints, are now exteiislve ly used in Germany, and they with stand not only the effects of a severe climate, but the chemical action of sewage. 'Moreover, they show .an ex traordinary endurance and remain per fect after a -severe frost, when brick work often falls. It is a material that can be worked and molded In any form and maintains its form when made. It is also capable of repair, which is a point of no small import ance. These pipes improve material ly by age, and at the end of a year or two, they ring when struck with a clear metallic sound. The modern sewers of Paris are constructed of concrete. As early as 1869 thirty inlles of concrete branch and main sewers 'had been laid in that city, and today thruout Europe both pipe and large sewers, are to a great extent, .made of this material. In America' the uste of concrete sewers is now beginning to assume magnitude. Since engineers have became inore conversant with the properties of concrete their hesitancy in establishing concrete sewers is, rab idly disappearing.—Cement Age.'

If you are harassed by crop failures, high taxes, and discouragement, you owe it to yourself and family to investigate my proposition: to sell you a Running Water Ranch Farm at such a low price per acre and on such easy terms that the first year's crop will pay for it.

Ct, ei \S1 vV x, A TIDAL WAVE OF HOMESEEKERS Northern Farmers and Investors Rash to Fertile Plains of South Texas, The Last of Cheap Land An Opportunity That Will Naver Re turn, Offered by Soash, "The Em pire Builder." JOIN THE GREAT EXCURSION A tidal wave of eager homeseekers is sweeping down upon the rich, cheap lands of the South Plains of Texas. The exodus from the high priced farm ing sections of the Mississippi' Valley to this new land of promise gains vol ume daily, hourly. The pubMc has awakened to the startling fact that is the last of cheap land! this And the one man whose interpid #n* terprise and ceaseless activity this re markable opportunity is due, is a clear-J eyed, square-jawed lowan. -Soash, "The Empire Builder." W. P. Soash has 'been a student ofll the land situation for years. 'He stud led the movement of population. H»| noted the fast disappearing opportun ities for the younger generation of I farmers and investors to acquire cheap I homes. He looked up the government! lands available for free iiomesieads I and found all the desirable land taken. Turning his attention to Texas, thef only state in the union where large] tracts of rich land were still untouched! by the plow, he found the long-soufhtl opportunity. The millionaire catije*j men were in full control ..of the bestf undeveloped land and bitterly opposed! to his plans of throwing the country open to settlement. Most men would have confessed defeat in the face I ofl such (powerful opposition. But W. P.I Soash only set his square jaws wlthj greater determination, for his keenl eyes, looking a ferw years Into the fu-I ture, saw in the fertile South Texas) Plains an inlknd empire, peopled With prosperous S farmers, dotted with) thriving towas, cris-crossed with rall-f roads and teeming with untold wealth. He would make the reality! dream splendid (History repeats itself and Mr. Soash. realized that the next great movement of population would be toward these I fertile plains. His judgment told |itm[ that the history of rising land values! in the Mississippi Valley would ther»| be repeated. The cattle kings with all their millions, could not change the manifest destiny of the South Plaint of Texas. Then it was that -W. P. fioash became In very truth "The Empire Builder.' (He organized the W. P. Soash Land I •Company, with abundant capital and resources to successfully cope with the I cattle kings. He engaged expert land I men to assist him in making a thor ough Investigation of the various ranch properties and other large tracts of un developed land in all parts of Texas. He laid his gigantic colonization plfina before liigh officials of the Rook Is land railroad and secured their dorsement and promise of powerful sistance. The Homeseeker vs. The Cattle Kings. Then began the most intensely inter esting and at times dramatic landl contest ever waged in the interests of the whole people. It is well under-1 stood that the big cattleman want%| unrestricted range, splendid isolation^ His hand is raised in protest against the railroad, the settler, the town builder. Mr. Soash began buying up lands I lying adjacent to some of the, finest ranches on the South Plains. He en couraged the extension of railroads in- I to the forbidden territory. He laid out tolvns. He bought South Plains land] steadily, carefully, in larger and larger tracts. He opened up whole counties I to settlement. And his holdings, ofl Texas land grew ipace, proving his abiding faith in the future of the rich South Plains country. The cattlal kings grew restive under the steady encroachments of the Empire Buildeh The closd proximity of the settlers lo4| edited by Mr. -Soash compelled «attie men to expend great stuns for wir* fencing and defend many suits fori trespass and damage. Accustomed aa I they wa#e to freedom from restraint, the new order of things gradually bi-1 came intolerable to the cattle: kin^sl and ofle by one they yielded to the in-1 evitable by selling out to the Soash Land Company. Company Controls 700,000 Acres. Thus it was that the W. P. Soash I Land Company became the power ia Texas that it is today. With over 700, 000 acres of land under its control tlial Soash Land Company is now one aCl the largest land owners in the entire state of Texas. The purchase of thai famous Running Water Ranch of 87,-1 000 acres ranks as the greatest achievement of Mr. Soash in opening up the South Plains to northern capi tal and enterprise. This ranch is the richest of all -tha company"s vast possessions. Instead of holding it baok from settlement until his other lands -were sold, at which time its value would undoubtedly in crease tremendously, he is letting it I go to settlers and investors at $16.5# to $20 per acre, on easy terms. It Is today the choicest undeveloped land la America "and the most remarkable cheap land opportunity of the decade. A Rush of Homeseekers. That the people of the middle west I recognize it as such, is shown by tha stampede of landseekers that is now under full headway. Hundreds of eager homeseekers have already been car ried on "Soash Special" Pullman I trains down to the Running Water ranch. Thousands of its fertile acres have already been sold. Over, half of the entire ranch has been purchased and at the present rate of sale the op portunity to acquire a Running Water I ranch farm at $16.50 to $20 per acre will soon be a thing of the past. An interesting sidelight on the char acter of Mr. Soash is afforded by his voluntary offer to stand all the ex penses of the trip If an actual Inspec tion of th« land does not prove that It is all that he olalms. An offer like this, from a responsible man like Mr. Soash, means a great deal. It Is the strongest guarantee of "fair play" that a prospective buyer could ask. It means that the land Is being sold strictly on its merits and will, as he says, actually pay for It self with the first crop. It is a guaran tee that hacks up every word of tks I Knash ariwHtlngi. ..Tly

For over two years I suffered from nervousness. Weak heart, shortness of. breath, coulu not sleep, etc. "My appetite. was ravenous but I felt starved all the time. I had plenty of food' but it" did not nourish me because'of intestinal indigestion. Medi cal treatment did not seem to help, I got discouraged, stopped medicine and did not care whether I lived or died.

The letter carriers of Cedar Rapids have challenged the carriers of the local postotflce to play a game of base ball at Cedar Rapids on the afternoon of Labor day, Monday, 'Sept. 6. The challenge has been accepted, and the local carriers have begun to get in practice for the game. In case there is a delay of the de livery of mail in any or all parts of the city on the day following Labor day it will doubtless be due to dis abled letter carriers, who will be suf fering from strained and sore muscles which were unused to the strenuous exercise Incidental to base ball.

"High" Peterson, in the box for Clear Lake, was particu larly effective, striking out eleven men and holding the Swaledale stickers to one hit. Long, for Swaledale, was .'batted all over the lot. The Swaledale team gave Long brilliant support, how ever. Eleven flies were caught by his outfielders during the game. The Grinnell News. Special to Times-Republican. Grinnell, Aug. .26.—-E. J.

Chicago, Aug. 26.—Cattle were ac tive, where the quality of offerings was such as to make them acceptable to shippers, or to those buyers for pack ers who had orders to secure better grades of corn fed natives. All steers good enough to sell above 6.50, were quotably strong. Yearlings were also in demand, at better prices. Range stuff, while slow early, gave indications of strength later. Two days' receipts this week totaled 3S.500, of which 19,000 were western rangers, and the native supply has thus been quite light, accounting for the present strength of demand in this line of trade. Competition from western rangers is not having the usual effect on natives just at present because the latter have not been numerous enough. On the other hand, however, traders argue that any very liberal runs of natives late this week will be HKcdy to precipitate declines. Hogs. Hogs were strong for the best sorts, but there was little demand. Ship ping orders were light, and packers were not buying mixed and packing grades at all? on the early market. It has been an uneven market of lato but averaging about steady, the off spots being about balanced by firmness in certain directions. The market has been lent ar- uncertainty by the large number of holdovers which have been noticed lately. Sheep. Demand tame, and the run was lib eral, lambs forming a large proportion of the offerings. Prices were weak to 10c lower. Supplies of native lambs continue light, and it is apparent that the un satisfactory termination of shipments cent in last week by country shippers and which were hard to dispose of, has 'cd the men out of town to fight shy of a further like experience this week.

Reardon'a Indiana/polls stallion Allen Winter at the Readville track, thereby capturing the largest share of the $50,000 Ameri can trotting handicap from the field of thirty-three starters, is believed by many of the 20,000 followers of harness racing who saw the contest to estab lish a new era iij the history of the sport and insure Its rejuvenation in this country. The race was novel in Its conditions, Which placed the horses at marks from one-quarter to three-eighths of a mile behind the usual starting point, on a handicap based on their previous per formances, and at the conclusion it appeared to be the general opinion of all who saw the two preliminary heats and the grand finale that this system of racing will be popular in the future. It was the first race in which Allen Winter had trotted this year, and Lon McDonald, his driver, sized up the field in the two preliminary heats. In the first he watched sixteen horses, placed at marks from 1,320 to 1,720 feet behind the usual starting line, sweep once and a quarter around the track to a grand finish, with Barvaldo in the lead. In the second heat, with his own horse 1.570 feet from the wire and 6,850 feet to travel, he pushed Al len Winter carefully but surely past three other horses, and kept ahead of the others, finishing a good third. The stakes were divided as follows: Allen Winter $30,000 Prince 10,000 San Francisco 5,000 Ralph Wick The Huntsman Peter Belta 1.000 Chicago Man Wins at Trap.

O. P. is Stronger. Washington, Aug. 26.—There is an air of cock-sureness about the eastern democrats, since the New York World lias made a qualified declaration of support of Bryan, and the Herald seems to be inclined to do the same. Bryan never hag had any prominent newspaper support In New York, and that he seems likely to have it. now gives many democrats cause for rejoic ing. Bryan himself seems to believe that there is a chance to carry New York, .as his plan to make two speak ing tours of that state would indicate. Taking the situation as a whole, therefore, iL may be said that in New York, which is the only eastern state in which a serious illght will ibe made, •the democrats are hopeful for the first time since the Cleveland campaigns. The herp of the World and the Her ald is not the cause for this hope it is merely one of the signs of it. The cause is to be found in Bryan himself. His public utterances, which seem to have been addressed thus far to the east as Taft's have been to the west, have been of a type to attract favor able comment. For the first time in his public career, he is talking some thing that may pass for sense po litical sense, common sense. The old Bryan of 1S96 and 1900 apparently Is no more. Not only that, but in his speech of acceptance he impliedly sur refiders all the !isms "and errors of those earlier campaign promises, if elected, not to agitate for anything not outlined in the Denver platform. New Bryan is Stronger. This attitude' marks the coming of the new Bryan, who is a much strong er man than the old Bryan. It is be lieved in the east that he is stronger today than he was at the time of his nomination, and that further growth may confidently be expected. It seems to be the plan of the democratic can didate to make a campaign of strong appeal to the conservative business in terests of the country. He feels sure of the support of his western follow ers no matter how conservatively he •may talk, and his campaign now is for the first time being directed toward getting conservative support, and it may be said in all fairness that he has made a good beginning. The democratic insistence on New York probably grows out of the belief that (Bryan probably cannot be elected without the vote of that state. Taft does not necessarily have to get it, but the danger is that forces which would lose New York to hfm might lose at 'the sairje time other states hereto fore republican. And soit is that tho republican managers are watching New York with great interest. Hughes Seems Safe* 1 The center of interest thei-e at the present moment is Governor Hughes, whose renomillation has been decided upon at Oyster Bay, on the theory that It will help Taft, not In that state only, but in various places in the mid dle west. Hughes may, therefore, be looked upon as the man who will head the state ticket this year.

The sporting elements in the large cities and towns, regardless of previous political affiliations, will oppose him. while in the country districts, and among moral people generally, it is believed that he will poll a practically solid vote, also regardless of previous political affiliations. At this distanco it is difficult, to see how he can be de feated by any machine candidate the democrats will nominate. The Hughes candidacy will 'be ex pected. of course, to have a bearing on the presidential ticket in New York. But independently of Hughes, as al ready has been suggested, Bryan is to day a much stronger man in that state than during either of his former cam paigns. This is a statement which neither side disputes. The only dispute lies in the direction of whether that strength will be sufficient to make the state democratic. The presidential campaign, therefore, promises to have two focal points— one in New York, and the other in the middle west, and each of absorbing in terest. The republican party since 1S90 has been electing its candidates for the p/csidency with scarcely an effort. It has not had .an old-time fight since the three Cleveland campaigns, but it seems likely to have one now. This explains the numerous conferences which Chairman Hitchcock of the re publican national committee is having with state leaders, and at Oyster Bay and Hot Springs with President Roose velt and Mr. Taft, respectively. It explains the unusual work of organiza tion which Hitchcock is undertaking. It explains various statements which Mr. Taft lias felt impelled to make, statements, which in some quarters sounded like admissions of 'Weakness. It is a fact that thus far Mr. Bryan has been foreingjthe fighting, and that Mr. Taft. on several occasions,has ap peared to be on the defensive. But the campaign is young—in fact, it has scarcely begun the issues which will determine the outcome have probably not yet been formulated. It is therefore too early to say that Taft will not be elected. But it is not too early to say that the democrats seem to be getting tlie best start. Where G. O. P. is Stronger. The only spot in the east where view here set forth as to Bryan does not prevail is in Maryland, where the Sun, its leading democratic newspa per, has bolted him. This is a sure sign that thousands of the old-line conservative democrats of that state will vote for Taft. Whether their number will be large enough to give him the state is a question, but the republican outlook there at present is most encouraging. New Jersey, Delaware and Connec ticut are affected by their proximity to New York, and should that state go for Bryan it would be reasonable to suppose that the smaller ones named would follow suit, or be so close as ito make the result uncertain until the votes had been counted. It would thus appear that the out look for an old-fashioned red-hot pres idential fight is excellent. The odds, of course, are decidedly in favor of Taft, to begin ^vith. It will be the purpose of Chairman Hitchcock to keep them so, which, being the case, explains why lie and the other repub lican managers aro watching the de velopment of the Bryan candidacy with so much interest.

If allowed to remain in the system the disease will finally wreck thehealta and break dowil the strongest constitution. No medicine can cure Contagious Blood Poison which does not rid tlie circulation of every particle of the virus' S. S. S. is the one real and certain cure it goes down to the very bottom of the trouble, and by removing every trace of the poison, and adding nch, healtnnu finalities to the blood, forever cures this powerful disorder.
