STILL DEEP MYSTERY Startling Developments Expected in tha RuStin Murder Case, at Oma ha—Miss Bonnell Not Connected by Police, With Shooting, Omaha, Sept. 3.—Developments In the Ru&tin murder were, not made pub lic by the police today, "but there is an undercurrent of feeling that something of a startling nature will develop with ing a day or two. The inquest has been set for Tuesday next, by which time the authorities expect to be able to lay all evidence before the coroner. It is now known that Rustin reached home about midnight Tuesday, and that the shooting occurred about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. What oc curred at the Rustin home during those three hours, has not developed, and no person is permitted to interview Mrs. Rustin. The greatest secrecy is main tained by those who have talked to the widow. Miss Leona Bonnell was seen with Rustin late Tuesday night, and is said to havb walked to within two blocks of his home, with him. Detectives have been unable to locate the revolver with which the shooting was done and the Suicide theory is therefore scouted. Miss Bonnell was given a sweating in the chief's office again today, but what was learned is not known. The woman has not been locked up, but is kept under surveillance. It' was admitted that she had not been connected by the police with the shooting at the Rustin home. General Stewart Bur^H. St. Louis, Sept. 3.^-Tho funeral of Alexander P.

A t-1 Vr* Legislature Decides Not to Shirk Its Plain Duty—Gilliland, Standpatter, Claims Action Will Mean Defeat of Cummins in Primary—Progressivea Gratified With Situation. is Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Sept. 3.—The senate ad journed today after McManus had in troduced a bill to appropriate $5,000 to erect a monument and celebrate the centennial of Fort Madison. He was defeated by a viva voce vote. The substitute of Swift, of Shelby, to adjourn sine die on Sept. 9 was de feated by 35 to 68 as was Harnbel ton's substitute to adjourn Saturday to Nov. Miller, of Breuner, had ac cepted Hambleton's substitute. The Demar resolution to meet in Joint session Wednesday, Sept. 9, to elect a senator was reported out by the •house committee and adopted on roll call, 72 to 29. The house adjourned to 2 this afternoon. The senate to 10 to morrow. It is promised that the lawyer sub committee will have a bill ready by to morrow providing for a separate bal lot and requiring those not voting at the June primary to swear In their votes, and making these who voted in June subject to challenge. Lina-up Not Factional. Certain standpatters have made an offer to the democrats to support the Oregon plan if the democrats would vote against electing a United States senator at this session. The democrats turned it dow^and today voted with the progressives to elect a senator. The line-up of votes in the house to day is not, however, strictly factional, some standpatters voting to elect a senator and some, progressives voting against. The house adjourned without fur-+in^l to ^take any enances ther business to 10 o'clock tomorrow. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Sept 3.—Governor Cummins will be sent to the United^ States senate by the present legislat-* ive assembly and will be given his commission at once. That fact seems to have been made very plain by the ac tion taken by both houses on Tues day. The timid postponement scheme has failed utterly. The legislature will not shirk its duty. There will be no keeping It open until election day to make it a source of danger during the campaign. Neither will the legislature tolerate complete abandonment ant^ denial of its plain duty. The vote will be taken. The house voted an emphatic nega tive to the postponement scheme and in the afternoon the Lambert resolu tion came up in the senate. Lambert asked immediate action, and Dunham proposed that the vote be put off until next Friday. Dunham, Jamieson and others supported the delay. Senator Smith, of Mitchell, in a calm and earnest speech, urged that the resolu tion be considered now so that there could be no further question as to what are the intentions of the legis lature. The vote on the Dunham motion for delay was 18 to 30, the 18 being stand patters except in the case of Newber ry. On the Lambert resolution the vote was 34 to 13. It was thus disclosed that In the senate the anti-Cummins strength is about 17 at the outside. Senator Gale explained his vote and said that he did not believe the Lam bert resolution was pertinent or neces sary, but that the duty of electing a senator. at this session was impera tive and without "the resolution it would be done. .The.vote of the senate was sufficient warning that a senator would be elect ed by this legislature and hence a caucus of progressives was held at the Sstvery in the evening at which the views of those favoring the election of Cummins at this session were heard as well as those advocating delay. It was made the unanimous program of the conference to vote for Cummins in the republican caucus altho several loyal progressives led by Speaker Ken dall doubted the wisdom of it. Repre sentative Arney, from Marshall county, was among these and did some stren uous talking to stem the tide but to no avail and he fell in line with the ma jority. Senator Eckles voted with those favoring the election of Cummins from the start. The standpat element1 is Indignant over the action taken yesterday. "This means the defeat of Oummins at the fall election by over 100,000 majority,'" declared Senator Gilliland. "It Is the worst thing that could ever happen to him. He will be accused of playing a trick on tho people and we cannot de fend hiin. I am in favor of postponing until after election so as not to em barrass anybody. If there is reason for referring .the matter to tilie people in November then there is reason for waiting until after that referendum. It is a'll wrong." "The situation looks good to me," said Senator Dowell. "The feeling among members is veering around in favor of the election of a. senator now. The scheme to postpone until after election is sheer buncombe. The voters wouTd have a. right to denounce e^ry ons of us for failure, to perform our duty under suc'^ circumstances. And might say tho^ iti no pressure being brought upon at any point We are here to do w'v the law contemplates and nothing ore." "The matter niirht as well bo set tled one time !is another," said Sena tor Whiting. "If Cummins can be elec ted by this legislature Jn November he can be elected noW- If lie can't be elected at all why hot have the fact shown. It would be immensely to the advantage of his cpfk?nents ~jjave vote now and defeat him. 1 NEWSPAPER 18 SUED. MAINE NEXT BATTLE GROUND.

The action of the lavyyors on tho sub-committee In deciding una, tmous ly, without regard to faction, that the scheme to tack a primary .ballot to a regular election ballot would be of doubtful legality has forced an entire recasting of the prognostications as to the final outcome. The sub-c(mmittee is at work on a new bill. It will b.e an amendment to tha primary l&w and provide for reference of the matter as a primary proposal, and not as a ."trt of the regular ticket.

BURLINGAME NAMED Iowa Falls Man Elected Grand Master of Exchequer by Pythian Grand Lodge by Decisive Vote. Special to Times-Republican. Oskaloosa, Sept. 3.—The deadlock of the Knights of Pythias over the elec tion of a grand master of the ex chequer was broken on the second bal lot taken today, wiien C. H. Burling airne, of Iowa Failsi, was chosen over E. I. Gookln, of Chariton. The voto was 357 to 217. This completes the list of elective officers. H.

The strikers the prohibition state much to think about during the next two weeks. It was admitted at democratic national headquarters that they didn't have a speaker in Vermont. They are going to make no such tactical error in Maine. They figure that the gain of 3,oOO more votes in that state will make it democratic and that the prize is well worth striving for. The ammunition the democrats have prepared to use against the republi cans in the campaign in the western states will be limited largely to the Asiatic exclusion question, Attention will be called to the democratic plank providing for exclusion of the Asiatics and in this connection the silence of the republican platform on that subject will be dilated on. TAFT GET'S ANSON'S HALL. of of Taft,' brother of tho republican candi date for president, a base ball pro moter, Charles W. Murphy a mag nate, and the Cubsi pennant winners, culminated yesterday when Mrs. Anna S. Ta ft, wife of the nominee's brother, was given a judgrr ent for ..possession of the premises occupied by A. C. -Anson Co., as a billiard hall at 135 141 Madison street. It was alleged in the complaint by Mrs. Taft that the Anson concern had failed to pay any rent for the last year. During most of that time the former leader of the Chicago National league has been in financial trouble. The business relationship of the Tafts and Captain Anson has to do with the base ball history of Chicago. Captain Anson formerly owned thirty shares of the Chicago National league base ball club, and entered into an agreement with Charles P. Taft where by Anson was to be given possession of the premises In Madison street for the purpose of opening a billiard hall, Anson giving his shares in the base ball club in order to secure Taft against loss in the event the .former failed to make a success in his busi ness. Anson, it is said, planned to redeem his shares, hut was never able to do so. This, it is said, made it incumbent on Mr. Taft, owner of the Cincinnati Times-Star, to enter into the base ball business in order i.hat his deal with Anson might not prove a failure. So he sent one of his newspaper reporters, Charles W. Murphy, to Chicago to take charge of the "Cubs" as manager, with the result that' the Cubs won the world's championship. V*1- T.-R. BULLETIN.

Climax for Attendance, Reached This Year—Some of the Features., Special to Times-Republican. Grinnell, Sept. 3.—Those longest aind best acquainted with the history of the Grinnell fair, state emphatically that yesterday capped the climax for attendance. It is estimated by the sec retary and other good judges, that fully 6,000 people passed in at the gates during the day. Taking into account with this statement, the fact, as pub licly and repeatedly announced by the president and secretary recently, before the opening of the fair, that there would not be a single complimentary ticket Issued, the official prediction was made last evening by officials In posltloq to know the facts, that the re ceipts of yesterday will more, than equal all those of last year, and that was considered a very good year. The day was perfect yesterday, a.nd .the crowd from the country began to pour In early and stayed until the racing was well finished. And it was a very good natured and orderly crowd, bent on filling the day with the pleasure of visiting with fnlends and seeing the sights. The attractions -provided by the management outside the home pro ducts, were all good and apparently satisfactory to the public assembled. The display In farm machinery and in ca.ttle was not as large as in some years, but the show of Vehicles and in the fine arts department was unusually good. The concession^ generally were of the decent kind, and well conducted. In two Or three' cases, there was a start -made at plain gambling, but these were promptly suppressed as soon as any of the officials became aware of their existence. The races were of a more than ordinarily good class and were well conducted and with extra results in speed. The two base ball games between Bear Creek and Ewart, and Rock Creek against Sy gar Creek, attracted large crowd and were pronounced good games, the first one especially so, the score being 4 to 1 in favor of Ewaft. The fair closes to day, and as the morning opened the equal of yesterday, another large at tendance w'afe expected. -HARDIN.COUNTY FAIR. ,This Year's Venture a Success From Every Standpoint.

The fireman and engineer were dead when a brakeman reached them a few minutes after the engine left the track.

Spcelal to Tlmes-RepnMean. Boone. iSept. 3.—On Friday of last week, Mr. James Gaston, of Mount Sterling, Van Buren county, left with the Madrid Historical society a very historic hunting knife. It was owned toy C. W. Gaston, the first settler of Boone county, while he was a member of Company I, of the First United •States dragoons, while it and two oth er companies of the same regiment were quartered at Old Fort Des Moines, in Lee county, from 1834 to .1837. In 1835 an order was sent to Lieutenant Colonel iS. W. Kearney, t'he command er of the post, to march up the Des Moines river to the Raccoon Fork and to report on the advisability of estab lishing a military, post there. Colonel Kearney and his men arrived at the fork Aug. 8, 1835. C. W. Gaston said that the -blue stem grass on the bottom in the forks of the river was as high as a man's head, and that the elk and deer had made paths thru it in coming down to the river to get water. Mr. Gaston took a notion that he twould follow up one of those patlis and see where It would lead. About the point Where the crossing of Fifth and \Vai nut streets is now situated, in West Des iMoines, he came in contact with a deer, which he killed with his knife and skinned it on Uhe same spot, with t'he knife above referred to. This took place seventy-three years ago, when all the .land In the state except the Black Hawk purchase, belonged to the Indians. It will be seen that a knife used in taking the hide' off of a deer seventy three years ago, in what is now the most business part of the capital, city of the state, must be regarded as a very historic one. The knife is a very quaint one, and the firm name of the •manufacturers upon it "Friedmann Lauterjung," shows that it came from Germany. C. W. Gaston gave the knife to his nephew, James Gaston, a short time before his death, and by him it was left with the Madrid Historical society, as above stated. The society feels grateful to Mr. Gaston for this very important historic relic. OLD SOLDIER FOUND DEAD. I. W. Collins, Eldors, Had Been in His Usual Health. Special to Times-Republican.

Developments of the past twenty four hours have made It certain that the Iowa legislature will elect Gover nor Cumminst senator to fill the va cancy caused by the death of Senator Allison but, strange to stay, this elec tion may never make Cummins sena tor. In actual) political effect It will amount to little more than a vote of confidence «nd endorsement by bis friends, who constitute a .majority of the republican members of the legis lature. Nominally this election is for the unexpired term only, lasting: until next March, and beginning In Deceitn iber. The regular term of six yefers will be elected by the ne*t legislature, which convenes in January and the present legislature is trying to provide a special senatorial primary on genera' election day In November which shall determine by republican votes wbor the next legislature shall elect. The ird emit of this senatorial primary choice will be known on the day after election which is almost a month before Con gress convenes at Washingtotj and, •while Governor Cummins will/ hav' been cflected to the unexpired Jftsrm,.Ji is such a man as would neve/ seek to sit in the senate if be falls tq/ carry the primary. He 'would, in all/probability, resign before seated andi permit an acting governor to appoint to the un expired term the man/ -whom the re publicans' had nominated in their pri mary. And' so It Is that In the circum locutions of "the law this legislature will have elected a senator and yet the man who wMl actually be seated and serve both the unexpired term and the hew term •will be ohosen by the direct vote of, all republicans at a special pri mary In November. The people will, In effect, elect to both terms. Inconslusive as this elation is tihua made it was not arrived at wltliout perturbation. Under the law it became the unquestioned duty ot this legisla ture to elect Because there was a fac tion of republicans unfriendly to Cum mins which preferred delay and even adjournment to some definite date in order to postpone the election of Cum mins, the democrats were seized with unbounded zeal for the legislature to perform its duty as prescribed by law. They forced the issue and those repub licans friendly to Cummins then be lieved that failure on their part to do a legislative duty as demanded by the democrats and prescribed! by law, would be construed as lack of 'loyalty to their candidate. The -vote was to obey the law. But even thep It was not until a genferal conference of all of the gover nor's .friends .had been held at the Sav ery hotel Wednesday evening that it was Cully decided to elect Cummins. Some of his be3t friends believed that the governor's candidacy in -the pri mary for th« regular tierm would be! enibarrassed rather than assisted by his- ejection no.w. They'were in the minority, however, and submitted to 'the majority. Their most eloquent spokesman was Speaker Kendall, can didate for cnogress in the Sixth dis-, trjbt, who firmly believed that the elec tion was unnecessary to Cummins and exceedingly dangerous to other repub lican candidacies, including his own, by. reason of the factional strife which it might stir up. He anade a stiff fight for what he believed to be the wiser course but, when it became apparent that he was very much In the minority, •he arose in the'conference to state his views and to add! that since he had long been a Cummins man he had no desire to change his spots or to stul lify himself and that if he was out-4 voted in the conference he would go with'his crowd. It was a manly and even courageous statement of what 'he believed _to be both wise and unwise with a gracious acceptance of the will of the majority. Nate Kendall showed his desire for party harmony but Nate Kendall is no trimmer. The vole \vas practically unanimous to elect Cummins on the ground tliajt ,'iriy oth course would subject the 'governor' to the charge thnt he.vha^ been 'desfrrted in «fhe house of ih^s friends, liad not bt»en endorsed for sen ator' when his friends had -she votes with whielv to endorse him. The effect Is not going to be what many havft feared. The election of Cummins by this legislature is just what the opposing" faction anil every body else has expected. The governor •p.jsjsesk'ed-the constitutional power to convene th« legislature a.nd he used ic. \He has plaj'ed a clean, fair and B?vsf-int'-vs r, open game of politics with the reguiarly dealt to him. No manly will complain that Uto.k was with hi heading factional opponents In lobblea look the result of the eo ence with much good nature. Thy re suit will bo a granting of a larger/voice to tho minority In amending yffe pri mary law. Standpatters W,VJ are op­ posed or whose constituencies are op posed to Cummins for the^Jsenate, will enter the republiuan oau#us and vote their convictions like .men. Their friends at home will be -iiaUsflcd. They will then abide by tho wf ill of the ma jority and their factionfal anemies at home will respect" the/u for being fair and honorable. ThetX will be no kuit lng at tho polls. Prlngresslve members seeking re-election /have already gone on record as opposed to forcing the factional issue «A this time. Their purpose was ip avoid 'unnecessary frlotlon at horn/. They were out-voted and when thej issue was forced upon them they stofod up to be counted like honest men ffcr their convictions. They did all that/ any fair minded stand patter coutfd have asked of them and they will Afo home respected for man liness am/ng their neighbors. They will agree tojl vote in the next legislature accordjmg to the1 instruotions of the primAry and the last temptation for an* republican to knife them will have en removed. When 'the new legis lature convenes in January there will only one republican candidate for enator and only one republican party its membership. There Is a ciharoco •U« bury factionalism under an aval anche of 300,000 republican ballots in primary. AN INTERESTING CONVICT LAW. The Georgia .legislature has practi cally agreed mpon an interesting con vict labor law Which is intended to end the* horrible abuses of its lease sys tem. Hereafter the several counties wiH keep th ?lr convicts and work them on the public roads. There will be no expense to the state but provision ts made for the state prison commission to have general supervision of convicts and to permit the counties to exchange work after the fashion of the farmer's threshing bees. One county In need of more road work than its convicts can do, can borrow from some other coun ty thru the state commission. A rec ord of its obligation will be kept and. sometime In the future this county will be required to return the service to some other county and receive credit on the books of the "commission. Working, convicts at road improve ment 1s one of the ideal systems ol! prison management. Outdoor work 1» healthful for the men. When at work they cease to be a charge upon tha state, whlcfh expense would otherwise fall upon the honest and law abiding taxpayer. Road work Is distinctly" pub lic work and the labor of a convict In this class of usefulness does not com pete with the labor of the good citizen. Furthermore, bhere is no expense in volved in eoBtly factory equipments or unprofitable operation of manufactur ing plants. T: Topics of the Times. Des Moines Is now disclosing its real self.

The Cedar (Falls Gazette is of the opinion that Billy Sunday, who is en gaged for two years in advance at $150 per day, has done some good •work, but he can afford to do some good work at such wages. "Nate Kendall," says the Grinnel! (Herald, "is proving once mofe that lie Is fair and honest. He is in a difficult position but he will handle It with taot and discretion and will be per fectly fair to tooth sides.

If the governor's plan, with Senator Dol liver's proposed amendment/ can bo adopted, there will be little for the fac tions to quarrel over, especially if the session can be made short and fac tional feeling smothered." "The first complaint to be lodged against the management of the Iowa state fair comes from Des Moines and claims.that the institution founded for educational and development purposes has been metamorphosed into a purely money making combination," says the Sioux City Tribune.

"We are inclined to think n.ot. In a large part of the state the democrats have no chance whatever to elect candidates and surely none in the state as a whole.

(Cedar Rapids Gazette) Des Moines, which is not generally long without a sensation of one kind or another, has come to the front this week with an awful story of traffic In vice—a vjee trust organized aid oper ated by dollar worshipers. Briefly the •tory is this—men and women are making big money by renting tumble down shacks to women of tho street, charging extortionate rentals for build ings that are not fit for hogs to live In, and then selling all the clothing and food the Inmates buy—at (prices double the market value compelling the In mates to purchase diamonds, etc., at fancy prices, under penalty of prose cution, and In fact levying blackmail In every conceivable form. All this despicable .business Is car ried on within the shadow of the cap itol of a state In which dwell a people whose civilization, Intelligence and Christianity are not equalled in any other commonwealth on earth. A traffic In vice—that certainly Is the limit oif low-down deviltry, render ing absolutely necessary the hottest hell which the human imagination can picture. Guess a real "lid" Is needed in a great many American cities, all right. Incidentally, the American people may come to the conclusion, as a re sult of the exposure of conditions such as have been found to exist in Des Moines, and elsewhere, that the quite prevalent belief that the social evil is not a thing which can be eliminated, is a false doctrine. W® may come to the' conclusion after while that the only way to fight an acknowledged evil is to stamp it out and that toleration of vice simply 'breeds more vice which defies even restriction.* SUMMER SUICIDES. (Ft. Dodge Messenger) Anyone whose business or inclina tion has led him to read closely the news of the state for the post summer nmst have been struck with the very large number of suicides reported in tywa. It- seems incredible that humanity «hooid And .-Its Ills harder vx bear in these golden summer days but experts on the subject say that it is so. MT. George Gennan in a recent •exhaustive and interesting article on the subject, said that a beautiful summer day could with perfect accuracy be called "a iflne day for suicides," »o Inevitably does the .number of suie.ide.s increase. Side by side with accounts of boun teous crop? and general prosperity Kansas papers are deploring the sui cide mania which Is sweeping over that state this summer. Newspapers which care more for their influence than for startling head lines avoid so far as possible giving the details of suicides and It would not be a bad law whloh should forbid the publication of anything more than the mere statement of fait. Imitation certainly Is an important factor as ts shojvn by the fact that a particular method of suicide will seem to prevail in a certain locality. Kan sas City has been having such a great wave of carbolic acid suicides that the question Is being agitated there of making, that drug not so deadly easy to secure. Davenport papers mention a certain Mrs. Deubner as the" third woman within a abort time in that city who so timed the working of the poison she had taken as to expire while .call ing upon a friend. The suicide visit Is rather too grim a subject for jest, but it Is certainly a social institution which has little to recommend It. Should it become prevalent visiting young gentlemen will not bo the only guests who will be asked as to their intentions if NO UNFAIRNESS (Sioux Cltly Tribune.)-' "Iowa," says the Dubuque Tele graph-Herald, "would have a United States senator to succeed Allison with out the proposed amendment, therefore the Interests of the state do not call for an amendment to the primary law." But is the conclusion expressed by the Dubuque paper convincing? It Is quite true that Iowa could have a United States senator to -succeed to the place made vacant by the death of Mr. Allison. It could have a senator if •there were no such thing as -a" primary law written upon the statute books. But Iowa has a primary law. It was enacted to meet a demand for more di rect participation upon the part of the people in the work of selecting candi dates for high as well as less import ant offices,, and the senatorship was included. Referring the senatorial suc cession question again to the republic an voters for the selection of a candi date to represent them before the leg­ 1 sJV i» J?r C'H/ DR. PRICE'S WHEAT FLAKE FOOD islature, their choice of last June hav ing been removed by death, is simply 11 recognition of the principle embodied in tho primary law and a manifestation of a purpose to adhere to it. Such ref erence does not unfairly affect, (tie chances of any party aspirants, neither doos it unfairly affect the legltiniute interests of any'particular party. In tho present case it Is intended to give tho republicans of the state equal oppor tunity to make a selection that tho democrats have had and equal oppor tunity to make thai selection effective, by relieving their legislative candi dates from embarrassments arising out of conditions in no way connected with superior virtues Inhering in the demo cratic candidates. Anything that makes for better party conditions makes also for better government, and If the Du buque paper believes In the principle of the primary as fully as It has seemed in the past to believe, it can not now oppose with any consistency having tho primary law accomplish what It was intended to have it accomplish. If the democratic party is stronger in Iowa than the republican party, its chance of electing Mr. Porter to tin: senate remains unimpaired. If it is weaker It can not convincingly claim that action intended to givo expression to the will of a 'majority of the voters In the selection of a senator, subjects it to unfairness or prejudices tho inter ests of the state. The editor of tho Dubuque Tele graph-Herald. whoso intellectual pro cesses command admiration, has not grasped all the possibilities of this ex tra session. T.he primary law may not be amended except In such general terms as will make It apply to all men and parties. Democrats may In the future need all that the republicans need now and the law must be drawn so they can avail themselves of It. If a democratic nominee dio next time provision iwill be made by this special session to fill his place upon the ticket. That Is something for domocrats to console themselves with. THE SOCIALISTS' SPECIAL. (Waterloo Times-Tribune, dem.) The Debs "red special' is oii the way and is attracting unusual atten tion, as was intended it should. The socialists are unfortunate In the size of their audiences. They have not been able to gather together the vot ers in such numbers as would insure spreading of their doctrine to any great extent. They decided upon a campaign that would be sure to at tract attention. Chartering a railway train, they are speeding oyer the country, spreading broadcast their llteraturo and speaking wherever1, op portunity affords. If it Is true' that the literature is printed in red ink and that the special train is decorated with red bunting, these things have been done to make the excursion spectacular, the leaders apparently believing that sensational ism Is -necessary, to cause attention to be drawn to the socialists and their plans for government. But, they have made a mistake.

AVhile nothing will ever come from socialism in this country, unless some great disaster should cause the .people to turn to It, of late the (socialists 'have attracted some men and women of very superior Intellect.

Social ism, like all new party movements, however, serves the purpose of keep ing the older parties closer to the peo ple. The NeW Pure Food and Drug Law.

Sohool Trustes in Chicago Hopes to Start Federal Probe. Chicago, Sept. 3.—The "school book trust"—assuming that there is one—in to be made the subject of an investiga tion by a federal grand Jury Jf School Trustee John J. Sonsteby 'has his way. Mr. Stonsteby Is sure there Is a con spiracy among the various school hook publishers to "boost" prices on the Chicago board of education. In com mon with one or two other members of the board he has been convinced of this for some time. Last evening, angereS by the refusal of a publishing firm to reduce the price on a geography to the figure which obtains In another state, he laldl the master before khe board. "Soma one is at our throat," he said. "Not only has the MacmiHan company refused to sell us its geography at the rate at which it sells it in Indiana, but there 'has not been a single offer on the part of any publishing firm re cently to reduce prices in any way. This Is something that will bear re ferring to the sohool attorney and ul timately, I believe, to the federal of ficials. "There's undoubtedly a combination of some kind that prevents t.he price from coming down, and it's Just as certain that that combination is keep ing up the other prices. I am going to push this matter and I bellevp the board should take action at once." None of the other trustees appeared to be unduly excited by Mr. .Sonsteby's charges. After listening to what he had to say, they passed the report to which he took exception and took up other business, leaving, however, a generous loophole for a future investigation of the price question, This, Mr. Sonsteby declared, will end in some startling revelations. The difficulty with the Macmillan company arose several months ago ov er thH proposed adoption of a geog raphy at the rate of 48 cents a copy. In Indiana it was learned, the same book, with an additional chapter relating to ndlana geography. Is being sold for 30 c^nts. Frank F.

Truts Cass Is Going Straight to Wash ington. Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 3.—Be cause he got married, Herman A. Strutz has lost his claim. This procedure is so contrary to the Rooseveltsui theory that an appeal has been taken to the general land office by the counsel for Strutz, Strutz, who is now a resident of Grand Forks, filed on the claim Nov. 12, 1908. On July 81, 1903, he made final proof. HI* proof was ordered sus pended May 28, 1908, and on Aug. I, 1908, the Bismarck land office re scinded his claim to the land. The defendant did not have an at torney at this hearing. He says he asked the United States commissioner at the time he proved up If he had a right to do so and was informed that he had. He was a single man when he filed on the claim and spent much of his time on the land, altho he visited his invalid mother at times. Two weeks before he made final proof he was married and then made the mistake of not taking his wife on the land. For this reason the special agent held up his proof. Altho there was evidence it was made in good faith.

Ah Demonstration For Marshall County Fair Proposed By Mayor lngledue ~l MAY HAVE A SPECIAL TENT .-.i Tuberoular Cows and Hogs Will Bo Shown and an Expert From Iowa State College May Be Secured to G»ve Information to Vieitore Ex­ hibition Would Benefit Everybody. 1 i\r Mayor O. L. lngledue has a proposi tion under way to give visitors to the Marshall county fair a demonstration! of tubercular! stock. He -has been in communication with tho Marshall county short course directors and the county fair authorities and expects shortly to complete arrangements for space. His Idea Is, If feasible, to have the demonstration in connection with the short course exhibition, as the course Is to have a tent on the grounds in the interest of its work. As the question of healthy cattle is naturally allied with agricultural edu cation, the mayor feels that the short course tent would be the appropriate place for the Infected specimens to be placed, and if there Is sufficient room In the tent an arrangement may ba made to this end. "If we cannot arrange to get space In the srtiort course tont, we will ar range to havo it by itself, but I am sure we will be able to get tho thing fixed so that the farmers, and every body else, who comes to town and.vis its the fair at that time, can get a demonstration that will be practical and beneficial," said the mayor. "As yet I have not consulted with anybody far enough to say Just what we will do, but we will have the dis play somewhere on the grounds. As It Is not in the nature of anything for profit I believe the fair authorities will co-operate with ub, and possibly they will have space which they can give us free for the plan. "This recent agitation about tuber cular cattle has stirred up the people a good deal and we are all interested In It It will be a unique proposition and at the same time one with a good deal of merit to It. If It is practicable we will have a professor here from the Iowa State College at Ames, who will be able to give reliable information on the subject to people who visit the tent We are going to take up this end of the question and will be able in a short time to make our announce ment about It. In all probability we wlll be able to get such a man here for his expenses, and he and Dr. L. L. Diller, the city veterinarian, can be on hand to explain to visitors. "It will not be much trouble to get a diseased cow or 'hog to have there with men who have studied the ques tion of tubercular cattle to point out the important features to ibe looked for, and I believe the thing can be ac complished In a way that will perform a great deal of good. If it Is possible for a man to know a diseased pig or cow when he sees one he would like to know how. That's what we are aim ing at, to let him have some definite, practical knowledge on the matter from men of skill Jn such questions who have examples from life by which to teach others." MARRIED. Fanton-Manly. At 8:30 o'clock Wednesday evening, a quiet wedding was celebrated at .the home of Mr. aind Mrs. George Lamp man, the latter being a slater of the groom, Mr. Harry W.

Chieago, pSept. 8.—Cattlei were slow ind prices were steady. A few ranges sold at slightly stronger figures, bui natives w^'ere in poor, deimand, because of the Wifortority. Receipts yesterday exceeded the estimates, and trade was able tor fill up well on the late mar ket, aj low prices, so they had little need/'for stuff today. Thtiere are entirely "too many of "the com/Snon and medium short fed steers onAhe market and the outlet is not la.4ge enough to take them all. Eastern flcd, trade became dull, with an easy tone, altho none of tho early gain was lost. The market footing of the 7 cent hog is as unsecure as ever. It has a turn-around and walk-right-out fash ion that suggests lack of permanency to the price. Whenever 7 cents is reached the market seems to have struck a bumping post. Shipping demand promptly wanes and good hogs lose out. Shipping de mand has been woefuHy deficient this c. While the three-day run is 20, 000 less than last year shippers have practically cut their purchases in half and while eastern demand is lacking in this fashion good hogs can not be expected to hold the premium over mixed stuff to which they are entitled. The $6.90 hogs look worth $1 more than the $6.60 grade of mixed were they apparised on their merits. iMeat shipments were 1,742,000 lbs Deen i-i-j Sheep. Sheep were steady on light business. Demand was poor. The top for sheop was $4.2*0, and for lambs, $6.10. For three successive days supply ihas exceeded 30,000 head, and the half week run is approximately 103,000, or 20,000 more than-last week, and 36,000 heavier than a year ago. Sheep beting in the sumo small proportion to the general supply were able to hold in a steady notch, but a lot of Jambs were appraised on a lower basis. Tho six western markets had over 76,000, or 40 per cent more than last week, and 'the half-week supply at these points is 82,000 more than a year ago. Obviously with such a run the market had no chance to set a better pace. Western stuff is now running freely, and the movement will be at flood tide all thru September. Probably it will extend over into October. Chicago Livestock. Chicago, Sept. 3.

It is all signs. .The signs used are tho natural ones, and are as simple as simplicity Itself. Did you ever notice kow the paws of small animals are curved In when they are dead? That Is the sign for "died" or "dead," and to make it you hold one hand out, with finger bent in toward the thumb. However, should you wish to say that someone had been killed, you would hold out your fist with the knuckles away from you, and then move the wrist slowly so as to force the knuckles downward. Indicat ing in this way that the person was struck down. The sign to Indicate fear, to express that someone was afraid or •that you had been frightened, is to place your right hand over your heart and then moVe that hand up to your throat. Should you meet a blanket Indian of any tribe, s6mewhere out on the broad prairie, and wish to ask him where wa ter may be found, make a scoop ot your hand, and put it to your mouth as you would If drinking at a stream. When he replies, if it is a river that he wishes to tell you of, he will make the same sign of water, and then trace the meandering course of a stream with his index linger and if a lake, he will spread out his hand to cover a large space. The sign for walking is a splendid one. Hold your hand down, shut up two fingers and the thumb, and then make the two fingers that are free go forward and back, like the legs of a person in walking. If you make a letter A with your two handis and lock the ends Of your An gers, that is a tepee, or tent. Keep your hands in that same position and bend them down, so that your fingers point away from you, and you have made the sign of a house—and a very good .one it is, because it shows how the logs are Interlocked at the corners of the sort of house the white settler used to construct on the frontier.

"I feel quite ashamed when I remember our humble marriage notice." she said. "Married in the First Congregational church, of Harborville. Abel Goodyear to Mary Lawton," chanted Grandfather Goodyear. "It read well, to my think ing." "Yes, for those days, but not for present times," said his old wife. "You know Anastasia Cumming's daughter, Laura married a Toby, and their daughter has. just married Sophy Lea vitt's grandson. His mother, Sophy's child, married a Wilson." "Well, what of all that?" inquired Grandfather Goodyear, rubbing his fore head in great confusion of mind. "It's the fashion to keep all the fam ily names," said Old Lady Goodyear, severely, "You hear how grand it sounds. 'Married at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Frederick Cummings Toby, by the Rev. Harold Lowden Kirkbright, Edith Smythe Cummings to George Broune Leavltt Wilson."

Reconciliation Between Tait and Foraker Publicly Con- 1 1 i'essed by Both SENSATION IN ENTIRE STATE Taft Admits Senator Gave Him His Start in Life—Foraker Will Be Re turned to Senate If He So Desires— Both Will Work for Good of Repub lican Party. Toledo, O., Sept. 3.—That Taft and Foraker are .poliftically together was not only the public admission of both Taft and' Foraker here, but also tho political sensation ot Ohio. Foraker is an avowed candidate for re-election to the United States senate, and his services in the national campaign have been sought by National Chairman Hitchcock and the senator lias prom ised to take the stamp. At a dinner given here by Charles T. Lewis, .who Is incidentally the host of Taft at Middle Bass club, Senator •Foraker was one of the prominent men present. This dinner resulted In tho invitation to Foraker to remain in the city and attend both the review of the Grand Army parade in the £tand with Taft, and also the reception to be gfven the latter by tfho Lincoln Re publican club. Those who attended this dinner are authority for the fur ther statement that when Foraker left the dinner he was called up on the long distance telephone from Chicago toy Chairman Hitchcock, of the na tional committee, and requested to open the republican campaign in Kan sas. Foraker has not as yet given ihis consent, but it is said that be told the national chairman he would take part in tiie speaking program in the contest. Taft Acknowledges Foraker. When Taft went to the Lyoeum the ater he was cheered for a few minutes by the audience. Then Foraker made bis appearance. He was also most Enthusiastically greeted as bo took his seat beside the candidate, after the lat ter had risen and greeted him with a handshake. And then the speech-mak ing began. President Mulholland In troduced Taft as "The world's big man," and with many more compli mentary phrases. Judge. Taft was again the subject of a demonstration. After a few pleasantries with 'the audience Taft said: 'Tt Is a pleasure for me to be here with Senator Foraker, .because when governor of Ohio, he gave me really my first chance and took a good deal or risk In putting a man of 29 on the bencb of the supreme court of Cincin nati. We are about to enter, or rather llttve ehtered, a great oratorical cam paign. It is a pleasure to think in this presence that we are going to stand in the campaign shoulder to shoulder, with the full strength of the republican party." IMr. Taft here went directly Into his political argument, In which he re peated what he had said on his trip thru Ohio last week, that the real issue of the campaign was whether the voters of the country would give endorsements to the Roosevelt .policies and deeds of the republican party or turn to the democratic party with Its untried promises. He reviewed tlie tariff question, spoke of the present restoration to prosperity and took a rap at tho democratic party. Glowing Endorsement of Taft.1 After a most glowing endorsement of Taft by Bishop Samuel Fellows of the Reformed Episcopal icihurch, of Chicago, Foraker was introduced, and was received with decided cordiality. Foraker began by scoring tlie press to the extent of saying there came near being a tragedy in his absence from tlie meeting during the first ten minutes of its duration, because the. newspaper correspondents were pre paring dispatches announcing tho confirmation of the "Feud and jbad feeling existing between Taft and my self." He continued: "Under the circumstances hope I, may be pardoned if I say here in hU presence—the first time I ha.vc had an opportunity to say it —that thero ts not, or as far as I know, not the slightest ill-feeling of any kind be tween Taft and imyself." "And if there had been you 'couldn't lose me that way. If there is anything have' a right to claim beyond' an other it Is Hi at am a republican 365 days in the. year. I have my pre ferences some times as to who should receive the honors of the party, and everybody generally finds out what t.hey are. But I am one of those old fashioned republicans who seltlc every such question at the convention. When the Chicago convention nomi nated Taft to be the republican candi date. for the presidency this year, that instant he became my leader. He has been by leader ever since and he will be my leader until the polls close on the night of the election." Foraker then turned his attention to the issues with the conclusion that the great issue would be found to be, "Whether the administration ofl pub lic affairs in -this icountry shall be turned over to the democratic party with Bryan at its head, or continue in the hands of the republican party." Foraker, in his estimate of Taft's fitness for the presidency, declared: Predicts Taft's Success. "That by liis experience on tlie bench, In the Philippines, as secretary of war, in the construction of the Pan ama. canal, in all tlie positions he. has .filled, iL has been such as to qualify Taft almost .beyond every other man for the presidency. We are going to elect him and if he does not make a success of it, it wil-l be his own fault." 'Senator Foraker following this statement with a. review of his early acquaintance with Judge Taft, and the favorable impression he then gained of him. Senator Foraker. before in cluding, .intimated that the campaign was to be a.' real light, -but he predicted Taft's .success, Senator Dicli, who followed, agreed about •with that what had been said Taft "But I w.ant to say," ho "t'hat It would be a great loss to to the country and to the senate, Joseph B. Foraker Is not returned." After a speech by Governor Harris and the public reception, Taft went the dock and at once -began his return journey to Middle Bass Island, A Bargain Railroad Ticket. The next time you go to Switzerland, try buying a. railway ticket covering a. month and travel about, here, there and everywhere, as the spirit moves you. This advice Is passed on from the Travel magazine for July. "Third class accommodations on Swiss trains are very good. "A ticket for a month, third class, costs just $12, and ujion its expiration (midnight on the thirtieth day) $1 is refunded. This makes the thing so cheap that you feel quite coyly re luctant to takb baew that five-franc piece after you've had such a priceless good time for thirty whole days and nights. I say nights, if you want to travel nights you can, and save your hotel bill! "But the inns of tne Alpine country are so' charming in their neatness and cheapness that you will not often be tempted to curl up on the hard seat of your third class carrlago for nocturnal rides. The ticket, however, is not lim ited in any way except as to .time. In other words, it Is not a mileage ticket, but a time ticket. You can get on the train anywhere, at any time, and ride amy distance at your pleasure, during the period you have patp for. The fold er contains your photograph, which must be furnished at your expense." "Thertj are certain small sections of the country where these tickets are not good without the payment of a supple mentary fare.

(Success) Flats are now cultivated extensively thruout the country. Some varieties are Short and scrubby others grow to an immense height. Almost every flat has a spinal column running up and down its center. This is the elevator shaft, and consists of hot air. When a fiat is more costly than people can afford to live In, it is called an apartment. A flat in its primitive state consists of a small bathroom, almost completely surrounded by total darkness. A flout is a substitute for home, at one time a popular winter and summer re sort, where traditions were allowed to grow up carelessly. Now in every well conducted fiat the traditions are drawn out every morning thru a tube by tho pneumatic cleaning process. Babies happen occasionally, even in •the best regulated flats. Thus, we seo that nature, even under modern sur veillance, sometimes nods. Flats are constantly growing In sl/.o und Importance, it Is estimated that very soon they will hold ail the people in the world, who will (then come to depend entirely upon our fertile roof garden for 'their means of sustenance. Flats have an awful mean tempera ture of two degrees below zero In win ter and 92 degrees above zero in sum mer. When all .the trees have been made into flats, it is thoughlt the millennium will have arrived. Every flat has the word "Welcome" over the kitchen door. Also many of them this motto: "All ye who enter here leave soap behind." iV 'X 'k Prohibition and Evolution. (Puck) Evolution was much annoyed by Prohibition. "The trouble with you," said Evolu tion, testily, "is that you seek to abol ish temptation." "Certainly," replied Prohibition, in anj? airy manner. "Why not?" "Why not!" repeated Evolution. "Because I need it in my business, that's why not. If you abolish tempta tion, or water it down to the weak man's capacity of resistance, how am I to devlop strong .men, I should like to know?" "Well, we can't have so much naughtiness. It's getting awful!" said Prohibition. "Fudge!" sneered Evolution. "What is naughtiness to me? I'd rather nine hundred and ninety-nine men fell un der temptation that not have tempta tion at hand for the thousandth man to rise superior to. It's the thousandth man I'm interested in, the man in vir tue of whom the race gets forward!" But Prohibition had the votes, and Evolution, no longer a fad of the first magnitude, had to submit. Showed Them How. The "indus-triou^ness of a colony of beavers at Little Mud Lake last fall has saved the government a large out lay of money. A dam was 'built for the purpose of raising and conserving the water in Little Mud La.ke in order that it might be let loose in a water way at times when low water threat ened to hamper navigation or interfere with the many industries -which are dependent upon the canal for power. When the dam was completed it was found that the water of the lake backed up and commenced running "in the wrong direction. It was thereupon de cided to build a second dam at the northern outlet. When a survey party reached the spot, to the amazement of everybody, it was found that a perfect dam, 700 feet deep, had been built by the beav ers during the winter months. There is not a leak discernable and no likeli hood of the structure way for years to come. That Water-Mark. (The Circle.) "Willie," commanded the mother, a.s tho little family were about to set out for the Sunday school picnic, "you run right back to the sink and wash your face again and when you come out don't let vne see that black water-mark on your neck!" A little later, as the mother and her two young offsprings were hurrying to ward the suburban trolley! depot, the boy and the girl, unable to keep the mother's pace, dropped behind. "Willie," then asked the sister, stim ulated to continual chatter by the thoughts of the joyful picnic, "did you manage to wash the water-mark off?" "Naw, I didn't," the boy gleefully vV -S l--'- h- 'v JH** rejoined, casting a stealthy glance at his mother. "1 only moved it furder down."
