ferju,.- VOLUME THIRTY-FOUR. Crisis Beached in Hughes1 Can didacy, While McCarren Will Bolt Demo. Convention HILL PICKED BY MACH'.ME Ambassador to Germany Selected as Opposite Cant irikte to Hughes I Democratic Sp':t in New York OI-JWS aifI Bolt in Convention is A ,-no«t Csrtai". 1 Saratoga, Sept. 15.—'Dr. David Jayne Gill, of Rochester, ambassador for the ^'United States to Germany, Is the man «n whom the anti-Hughes leaders have decided upon as their candidate for governor to defeat the renomination of 1 Hughes. The story the Hughes men were telling, as they began to get about after an all-night conference, was that Hill would certainly be nominated "un less." By "unless" they admit they meant "unless there is an irresistible Interference from national quarters— Roosevelt, the republican national com mittee, and Taft." Very few people could be found this tnorning who really believed Hill could or would actually be nominated. It was known there were telegrams and letters from 'Roosevelt, Ta$t and oth ers in republican national councils, leaving no manner of doubt that Hughes, and Hughes alone, was de sired by the national administration as the nominee of the state conven tion. There were many signs as the morning wore on that the crisis had been reached that theoretically Hughes' renomination was in such peril as never before that the latest jfns of the leaders, constructed with him as the cornerstone, represented probably their last stand, and that if defeated there they would accept their defeat as gracefully as they could. Actually, however, there seemed early, today little reason to regard affairs as materially changed. Herbert Par sons, fully cognizant of what was do ing, expressed his unabated confidence that the convention would renominate Hughes on the first ballot. None of the anti-Hughes leaders would talk for publication. Hughes Gets Demonstration. The convention re-assembled at 2 this afternoon. The temporary organi sation was made permanent. The re port of the credentials committee was adopted, followed by the reading of the •platform. References to Roosevelt and Taft were received with applause, but at the mention of Hughes the dele gates with the exception of those from Albany and Kings/counties, rose to •their feet and cheered and applauded lustily. The platform adopted says in part: "We heartily ratify the ticket nom inated by the republican national con vention and subscribe to the platform •there adopted. "We endorse the declarations of Taft and Sherman In accepting their nominations. "We cordially approve the interpre tation and fulfillment of the promises made in the national platforms, by the republican congresses and by the matchless array of republican presi dents from Lincoln to Roosevelt. "At this critical .time In the commer cial and Industrial development of the world, with a revision of our tariff and banking and currency laws impending, we urge every believer In sound money and in the American policy of protec tion to the wage earner, manufacturer and mechanic to support the republican candidates who are pledged to sound money and a protective tariff. Hughes Endorsed. "We a*k all who believe in republi can policies, regardless of party af filiations, to unite in support of Taft. •wri Sherman and the republican con gress, to the end that the., people's work, conducted so splendidly and suc cessfully under Roosevelt's adminis tration, may be continued and extend ed until all existing special privileges have been destroyed and adequate safe guards provided against future abuses. "We endorse the administration of Governor Hughes, who has shown himself a courageous executive re solved to accomplish what he believes to be for the pubic £ood. He has ap proved the measures passed by a re publican legislature, upholding the integrity of the constitution and main staining the high character of the pub lic service providing for proper regu lation of corporations and for the pro tection of the people's interests." On roll call for nomination, for gov ernor, Frank J. Cook placed in nomi nation James W. Wadsworth, Jr., speaker of the assembly. DEMOCRATIC BOLT PROBABLE. Tammany-McCarren Fight Will Result in Irreparable Breach. Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 15.—With the question of the gubernatorial nom ination still unsettled, but narrowing down to a choice of one among three or four men, and with the prospect of lively sessions ahead involving the (merits of the light between Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, and (Senator Patrick H. McCarren. of Brooklyn, over contested seats in Kings county, the democratic state conven tion convened here at noon today. •McCarren last night made official his previouslj- uttered threat to bolt the convention if any one of his delegates was unseated.. The McCarren delegates against whom contests have been en tarsi before the state committee were unseated by that body last night. Mc Carren took with him to the conven tion hall a resolution which he de clared he would present at the earliest opportunity calling for a complete re organization of the state committee and the election of a new membership. The nominating session will not bo held until late tomorrow and may have to be postponed until Thursday on ac count of the visit of William J. Bry an, who will address the convention Wednesday night. Every effort will be made, however, to get the gubernator ial nomination at least out of the way before Bryan arrives. This is the wish of .the presidential candidate, who does not desire to be put in the position of having influenced the selection of a candidate in tho state convention. Lieutenant Governor Chanler re mained this morning to all outward appearances the leading candidate for the nomination of governor. The Tam many delegation enlivened the morning I with their usual convention parade, There are .several hundred members of I the organization in line, and the march led thru two miles of the principal streets. The convention haM was profusely decorated with flags, banners and portraits of the nominees for presi dent and vice president. Chairman of State Committee Conners, announced the temporary officers, and introduced Judge Morgan J. O'Brien, of New York, as temporary chairman. O'Brien's reference to Bryan as the "great commoner," called out a demon stration which continued for several minutes. There was another demon stration, when the speaker paid a trib ute to the late Grover Cleveland. At the conclusion of O'Brien's speech the roll of delegates was called and the lists were referred to the creden tials committee^ without debate. The convention adjourned until tomorrow morning. CAN ABOLISH WAR Great Power Attributed to Emperor of Germany by Andrew Carnegie Has Only to Appeal to Three Other Nations to Unite Witl* Him. Berlin, Sept. 15.—Andrew Carnegie has written a letter from Skibo castle Scotland, to Representative Richard Bartholdt, of Missouri, president of the American group of inter-parliament ary, which convenes here the 15th, in which he says: "The emperor of Germany has it in his power to abolish war among the civilized nations. All he has to do is to ask Great Britain, France and the United States to unite with him in declaring that the time has passed when any one civilized nation can be permitted to break that peace in which all are so deeply inter ested. International disputes must be settled by arbitration. SUN DIMMED OVER LAKE REGION Large Area in Haze of Smoke From Forest Fires of the North. Chicago, Sept. 15.—A territory be lieved to be 3,000, miles in extent, or seven times the area of the state of Ohio, is overhung with the most re markable pall of smoke experienced in the history of- this part of the coun try. Old residents of Chicago have seen nothing like it since the big fire of 1871 which laid waste $200,000,000 worth of property in this city, and they confess that the smoke of those days covered only a limited territory compared with that affected by the destructive forest fires in Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin in the last few days. In Chicago the pall reached its great est density yesterday after thickening perceptibly for, nearly a week. Similar reports come from Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland and other cities located from 500 to 800 miles from the center of the ravishing flames. Lake navigation has been made dangerous and the same caution is exercised by navigators as in times of heavy fog. CHOLERA ON INCREASE Alarming Spread of Disease in St. Petersburg—Sixty Deaths in Twen­ ty-four Hours and 240 New Cases. St. Petersburg, Sept. 15.—For twen ty-four hours ending at noon today, there were reported in St. Petersburg 240 cases and sixty deaths from Asiatic cholera. This is almost double the record of yesterday. GERMANY. IN FRIENDLY MOOD. Assures French Ambassador Regarding Franco-Spanish Note on Morocco. Berlin, Sept. 15.—Jules Cambon, French ambassador to Germany, has received assurances from Herr Stem rich, acting secretary of the foreign office, that Germany will consider the Franco-Spanish note regarding .Mo rocco, in a most friendly spirit. SUES ILLINOIS CENTRAL. Paul Jordan, Cedar Falls, Asks $20,000 Damages for Loss of Limb. Special to Times-Republican. Cedar Falls, Sept. 15.—Paul Jordan, of this city, has filed suit against the Illinois Central Railway cowpany for damages to the amount of $20,000. In November, 1907, the plaintiff was thrown from the train and sustained the loss of one limb, while the other was seriously injured.* Has Arm Amputated. Special to Times-Republican. Cedar Falls. Sept. 15.—Hans Crone, an employe in the Waterloo Cedar Falls Union Mills company, in this ctiy, had an arm so seriously injured Saturday, that it had to be amputated at the elbow. The member was caught in the machinery between two pulleys^ Popularity ot Democratic Can didate For Governor Among Farmers Increases Vote REPUBLICANS WIN BY 7,500 Republicans Also Elect Four Congress­ men and Control Legislature by a Strong Majority—Liquor Issue in Arkansas, With Prohibitionists Breaking Even. Portland. Me.., Sept. 15.—Additional revised returns made early today on the state election yesterday, altered but slightly the result announced last night, the plurality of Fernald, repub lican, for governor, over Gardner, democrat, remaining at 7,329. with twenty-six small towns and twenty-six plantations still to report. A complete poll Is not expected for several days. The feature of the election was the increase in the democratic vote thru out the state. Every one of the four congressional districts showed gains, the increase over 1904 being 15,000 votes and 4,000 over 1906. These gains were almost entirely in the rural dis tricts, showing clearly the popularity of Gardner among the farmers. The republican vote also was greater by 3,000 than in 1906, but fell 4,000 be low the vote of 1904. The republicans made good gains in the rural districts. All the republican candidates for con gress were elected. The incoming leg islature will be strongly republican. Plurality Smallest in Years. The plurality received by the re publicans was cut to less than 10,000, for the first time in a presidential year for more than twenty-five years. The .figures indicate a republican loss of 4 per gent and a democratic gain of 32 per cent. The total vote cast was in the neigh borhood of 140,000, which is within a few thousand of the record for the state. The next legislature undoubtedly will be republican, but -.the majority will be greatly reduced because of the number of victories scored by the dem ocrats. No United States senator will be chosen until 1911. The democrats gained over four years ago in nearly every county*and city, altho some of the municipalities which went democratic two years ago re turned to the republican fold, notably Auburn, Augusta, Belfast, Ellsworth, Portland and South Portland. In this election the state issues havd largely predominated. There is no doubt that hundreds of men who today voted the democratic ticket will in No vember vote for Taft and Sherman. The prohibitory liquor law issue en tered largely into the fight and no doubt the vote of the cities and the larger towns which is favorable to the democracy hinged entirely upon the so-called liquor question. LIQUOR ISSUE IN ARKANSAS. About An Even Break Between Prohi bition and License.^ Little Rook. Ark., Sept. 15. The election of George W. Donaghey, the democratic nominee for governor and the entire democratic ticket by a ma jority which may exceed that received by Governor Little two years ago, of 65,000, and apparently an even break between the prohibitionists and license advocates, the adoption of one consti tutional amendment and the defeat of another, are the most important results of the state election held in Arkansas yesterday, as indicated by incomplete returns from a majority of the seven ty-five counties, in the state. The re turns indicate a record-breaking vote was polled thruout the state. Interest centered in the result of the campaign which was waged in many counties by the prohibitionists. Primaries in Minnesota. St. Paul, Sept. 15.—The primaries are being held in Minnesota today for the purpose of naming congressional, leg islative and county tickets. It will also be thfe first registration day of the 1908 campaign. WILL TOUR THE RIVER. Government Will Furnish a Boat for Delegates to Mississippi Congress. Clinton, Sept. 15.—The government will send a river steamer to Clinton to remain here while the seventh an nual convention of the Upper Missis sippi River Improvement association is in progress Sept. 22, 23 and 24, in or der that the delegates may spend some time on the river. Covers will be laid for 400 at a banquet at the Lafayette in connection with the river meeting. On the after-dinner program will be speakers of national renown. NEW WITNESS FOR EGAN.

Mr. Egran asserts that from his standpoint, the case will be presented for the first time in Its complete form. At the hearing before Judge Smith of Mitchell he was not even present in court a.ll of the time. He will have at least one important witness, Andrew Kuehn, who was in Europe at the time of the first hearing. It is expected the attorneys opposing Mr. Egan will put on as a witness Mrs. J. A. Ross, wife Q0„fcrence of the editor of the Critic and the bus iness manager of that paper. She was a steadfast supporter of Mr. Egan un til recently, when she made a signed attack of exceptional bitterness upon him. WHOLE CAR EXPLODES Dynamite Disaster at Windsor, Mo., Fatal to Three Persons, and Others Will Probably Not Survive Their In­ Windsor, Mo., Sept. 15.—A car of dynamite standing on the track in front of the "Katy" railroad depot here, exploded this morning with terrific force.

The state veterinary was called yesterday, pronounced the situation serious, and ordered every dog in Fraser killed. The council took action supporting him and a score of dogs were killed yes terday, and as many more today. Those who went to Chicago for treatment, were Vernie Hartman and son, T. My ers and son, and H. J. Thompson and daughter. FOUR DEAD BODIES FOUND. Record Day for Tragedies in Vicinity of Des Moines. Des Moines, Sept. 15.—One murder and the finding of four dead bodies in the country around about Des Moines made Sunday a gruesome record breaker Charles Corson, killed Alex Yant with a scoop shovel. Grant G. Oliphant, an insurance man, missing for three weeks, was found dead near Greenwood park. He had been killed by a bullet but no gun could be found. The decomposed bouy of Carl Han sen, missing five days, was found near Four-mile creek, a loaded revolver and an empty bottle near him. E. G.

Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Sept. 15.—Three hun dred men wlio feel the necessity of doing something in order not to vote for Cummins met at the Savery, and I for two hours seven of their members I talked to hold the crowd together till word could be gotten over the long distance wire from Congressman Smith of Council Bluffs, to find out if ho w-ould be a candidate. Smith said em phatically over the 'phone that he I would not run. The conference met at 2 o'clock to discuss what available timber there is left in the ranks. The number in at tendance is on authority of the door keepers as to the tickets, admittance being by ticket only. Reporters from the Capital were the only newspaper 1 FORT MADISON'S CENTENNIAL. Fort Madison, Sept. 15.—Fort Madi son is making great preparations to fittingly celebrate it 100th anniversary. The program for the different days fol lows: men admitted. Jackson, Lacey, Per kins, Young, Berryhill, Tob Smith, of Harlan, and Trewin, spoke in the order named. Sentiment for Clarke. 'Trewin and others of Cedar Rapids are talking strong for C|arke, of the I interstate commerce commission. Oth ers look askance at Clarke because he is a union labor man, and they think he would not be in favor with the far mers. W. O. Payne, of Nevada, be lieves Clarke would be a weak man. The situation at noon seemed to be that Perkins, Lacey, Clarke, Lafe Young, Berryhill and some others, would be glad to have the lightning hit them, but are considered to have weak nesses as candidates. Congressman Smith, ex-Gov. Jackson, Sec. Wilson, and ex-Gov. Shaw,all considered strong candidates, refuse to run. Wilson tel egraphed .today that he would not think of it. Shaw telegraphed he would run if both the standpatters and progress ives made a nearly unanimous demand, which is considered a joke, and a polite way to say the cause is hopeless. Jack son and Smith both say they will not take it. Fear Effect of Move on, Legislature. It looks more and more like Clarke. Many doubt his being a standpatter. Trewin says there is no doubt of it that he supported him and has always been with the standpatters, and they urge that they would be able with Clarke to pound Cummins over Roose velt's shoulders with Clarke. None of them will admit that there is any thought of defeating Cummins by not having a candidate, in the hope that this would make the legislature dem ocratic. A. Q. Quint, who gave out tickets to all who registered, and gave evidence of being a standpatter, has a list of the legislative members and has figured out that there are forty-four members of the legislature who would be de feated on the basis of the vote of two years' ago if one additional precinct in their district should go against them. This would make the legislature de cidedly democratic. Office Holders Absent. With the exception of Joe Byrnes, Joe Wall and Bert Rosser, all employes of the state auditor's office and Le monte Cowles and Copeland. of Chari ton, member of the state committee Colonel Palmer, of the railroad com mission, and two or* three members of the legislature, there is not an attend ant at the conference who is in office at the present time. Some of Those Present. J. W. Blythe is not present but his man, W. D. Eaton, of Burlington, is here. J. H. Trewin, defeated by Good for congress E. J. C. Bealer, ex-mem ber of the house from Linn county ex-Congressman Hedge, of Burlington W. O. Payne, of Nevada Bailey, of Britt Lewis Miles, of COrydon Lafe Young, Berryhill, Perkins, Charles Johnston, Senator Elrick, Joe Toulouse, Senator Saunders, ex-Adjutant General Byers, ex-Lieutenant Governor Her riott, ex-State House Policeman Tom Longshore, John Offill, of Newton Dell Huntoon, ex-State Printer B. Murphy, ex-Representative Wise, of Cedar Falls Withington, ex-insurance exam iner in Auditor Carroll's office, and Dr. Porterfield, of Atlantic, were the most conspicuous attendants. G. F. McCord, of Jasper county, who gained notoriety in the campaign of two years ago, was chairman, and Frank Bennett, of Sioux City, was secretary. It was claimed that at 2 o'clock that the conference will discuss the various candidates and that the entire morn ing was spent in discussing only the necessity of getting the party together. Times-Republican Disturbs Them. The editorial in last night's Times Republican telling the standpatters to put up their best man, caused some palpitation of heart with the stand patters. A copy found its way to the hands of Charles W. Johnston, of this city, said to be the exchange copy that reached the Capital office. Some of the standpatters claimed it was an indi cation of weakness in the Cumrnins sit uation and that Editor Norris was ready to back down. They pointed es pecially to the sentence saying that Cummins and his friends are all in. The oaper was passed from one to another in the lobby of the Savery and Per kins, :Lqwis Miles, ex-Governor Her- ..R. BLXLE.TIN. The Weather. rises .Sept. 16 at 5 50 sets at Sun 6:12.

Philadelphia, Sept. 15.—In a lengthy interview given out on the train be tween Baltimore and Philadelphia to day, W. J. Bryan made a hot retort to Taft's statement of yesterday. Ho accuses Taft of dodging, and says Taft "knows as little about my record as he does about the public questions which he is attempting to discuss." He denied that he wants government own ership of railroads, but says he does want regulation. He charges that Taft, made a mistake of $114,000,000 in his' estimate of the cost of imperialism. Bryan at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Sept. 15,-HBryan ar rived here from Baltimore at 10:20. There was a crowd at the station to greet him. After acknowledging greet ings he entered an automobile an! was driven to the headquarters the Bryan League of Pennsylvania where the candidate held a brief re ception, at which he shook hands witt hundreds. Bryan then was escorted to the of fice of the Philadelphia Record, where he spoke to a large crowd. He re ferred to his invasion of the east and to the f?.ct that democrats in this sec tion were not so well equipped as they ought to be to present their cause. "Where we cannot reach the voters thru printed pages," he said, "it 1st more than necessary to meet the voter face to face. I offer no apology for coming, altho I am a candidate for the highest office in the world." Some oqe in the crowd asked: "How about Maine?" and Bryan replied: "Maine has returned the lowest re publican majority in twenty-seven years, and to be conservative, I have to concede on this showing few state* to the republicans." Following his speech the candidat« was driven to the Bellvue-Stratford hotel, where he was the guest at a luncheon, given by a committee of New Jersey men. TAFT'S BUSY BIRTHDAY. He Makes Two Speeches and Hold* Two Conferences. Cincinnati, Sept. 15.—Two speeches to visiting delegations and conferences with Senator Crane of Massachusetts, and Representative Burton, of Cleve land, was the program of work fof Judge Taft today, on this, the fifty first anniversary of his birth. The first) address was delivered at the Sinton hotel to a delegation of residents o» Greenfield, Ind., the other to memberi of the African Methodist church this evening. No comment on the Maine election will be made here until the full returns are received. TAFT TOUR BEGINS SEPT. 25. Will Make Ten Big Speeches in Tan Days in Middle West. Cincinnati. Sept. 15.—A ten days' speechmaking tour of the states In tiie Upper Mississippi valley will made by William Howard Taft begin ning Sept. 25. The candidate for the presidency will swing ardund a circle having Chicago, Minneapolis, Denvit and Kansas City on its periphery. He will make one big speech a day, each in a different state, and during h'li course he will stop at each county seat thru which the train passes and males a short address from the rear plat form. The itinerary was mapped out last I night after a day of conferences be I tween National Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock and the state chairmen of the middle western states. The reports brought in by the leaders were not particularly joyous, at least on the surface, it was said, but whatever of gloom they contained was explained by the party chiefs as due to the fact that the work thus far done has been largely confined to the labor of getting organized, routine and detail prelim inaries that do not rouse much surface enthusiasm. Once the speechmaking is started full blast, however, and tho campaign strikes the hurrah pace, tfca leaders expect the story to be different. And to uncork the enthusiasm in the middle west they have arranged the ten days' tour for Mr. Taft LOWER COURT UPHELD. Decision in the South Carolina Dis pensary Cases Upheld. Richmond, Va., Sept. 16.—In the South Carolina dispensary cases to day, the decision of the lower court was affirmed by the United States cir cuit court of appeals.

2 ST. VITUS' DANCE CURED Remarkable Instance of the Power of Dr. Williams'Pink Pills in Severe Nervous Disorders Reported from an Iowa Town. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills hare eared obstinate cases of St. Vitus' dance Is the best evidence of their value in lesser nervous disorders. Here Is evidenoe that will stand thorough in vestigation. Mrs. James Wilkie, of 707 Spruce street, Cherokee, Iowa, says: "I was of a very nervous temperament even when a child. As I grew to girl hood, more and more of the work in our family fell to me. At the same time I tried to keep up my studies In school. The strain was too great and at the age of fourteen I had to leave school, became of the run-down and nervous condition I was in. I gradually grew worse, becoming extremely irritable and suffering terribly from melancholy. It was first noticed that I had St. Vitus' dance, when 1^ began to lose control of the muscles of my face. The disease soon spread all over my body and my head and arms trembled constantly. "I was in this condition for about a yeai and dwindled away to almost nothing. Finally I became so weak that I had to stay in bed all the time. Up to this time I had been under the care of two doctors and as I became no better gave up their medicine. After I had been in bed about two months, my father hoard about Dr. Williams' Pink PillB from an old friend. He bought some at once and I started using tliein, not expecting much benefit. I not iced very soon that the pills were helping rue and that I could sleep better. We all thought this so wonderful that I was encouraged to give them a good trial. I was sdon able to sleep like a log, and my appetite became good. "I was sick altogether about one and t-ne-half years and when I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I weighed less than 85 pounds. I gained weight rapidly, while taking the pills and weighed 117 pounds when I stopped taking them. I was completely cured and have never taken medicine for my nerves since. I feel that I owe my life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price, 50 cents per box six boxes for 92.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Special to Times-Republican. tDes Moines, Sept. 15.—Volume 1 of the "Roster and Service Record of the Eowa Soldiers in the War of the Re 'bellion," has been printed and is ready for the state binder. Copies will be out in a week or so. The work will consist of eight volumes and will con tain also historical sketches of volun teer organizations. The volume now all but completed covers the first eight regiments of the infantry of the civil war. The copy has been prepared by the roster com mission for the regiments down to and including the Twenty-fourth and the appropriation of the Thirty-second general assembly for the work has been (about exhausted. Very .little more can be done tll^.the hext leg islature meets and mak^s aii Additional appropriation. At the reunion of Crocker regiment at Oskaloosa re cently resolutions approving the work thus far done were passed and urging the legislature to continue the appro priations for the completion of the work. There were forty-seven regiments of Iowa infantry in the civil war and four in the Spanish-American war, besides some regiments of cavalry and bat teries. It is estimated that the entire work will amount to eight volumes. The one completed consists of 1,222 pages and will be of the size and thick ness of the Iowa documents. The ap propriation for the work has not spread out quite as far toward 'doing the work as had been expected, tho it was never intended that the initial ap propriation would do more than to start the work. With the start that has been made the work will be com pleted on a less proportionate scale. •The historical department has re ceived from General Granville M. Dodge another shipment of his letters and papers to be kept at the historical building for the use of the future his torials. Curator Harlan has not ex amined the papers carefully, but the nine envelopes in which they are con tained are libeled: Grant Banquet, April 27, 1895. Grant Banquet Association, 1893.

The understanding that is had with all the great men of Iowa who de posit their letters and papers with the historical department-is that such pa pers and letters are 'not to be made public property till after the death of the owner and will then become the property of the state. Until that time the public does not have access to the letters, for the evident reason that the men and the issues are still alive and the publication of the material would lead to' endless controversies and discussions. AVhen the material becomes history it will be accessible to the- historians. An effort is to be made to further preserve the Indian history and the likenesses of the Indians who were concerned with the early history of Iowa by getting the library associa tions to have oil portrait paintings hung in the libraries. Iowa-has shown a disposition to honor its native sons and daughters such as Miss Walker and Sherry Pry by having them make statues. Sherry Fry has made one of Mahaska, the Indian chief, which has been placed in the parks of Oskaloosa in Mahaska county. William Edward Cook of Independ ence, Iowa, is an oil portrait painter of ability who has had his work in the Paris salon for some years and is con sidered .to be the equal of Sergeant when Sergeant was the age of Cook.. Cook was educated at the Chicago Art Institute and painted Pope Piux X. An effort is to be made to get some of the libraries to have him.paint some of the Iowa Indian chiefs to be hung in these libraries or else to get some of the philanthropic great men of the state to engage him to do the work. The historical department has re ceived a section of the old water main of New York City.

Special to Times-Republican. Iowa City, Sept. il5.—Young men and women students in the State Univer sity of Iowa cannot occupy the same rooming houses, according to a rule which 'Mable IM. Volland, dean of women, will ritfidly enforce this fall. Every effort will be taken to raise the moral tone of Iowa students by this latest ruling. (Complete segregation will prevail in the selection of rooming houses, and no landlady will be ex empt from this recent order. The fact that the boys room on one floor of a house and the girls on an other, will not be agreeable to the college authorities. The roomers must be either all men or all women. This is the outcome of the movement start ed by a faction in the faculty, which believed in revision of the social life of the students in the university.

No 'longer do the formal parties last until sunrise, but a hard and fast rule is in effect that they stop at 1 o'clock.

Every home today which pretends to be modern Is heated from one central heater placed in the basement. Houses that were heated in only a few rooms with the outer edges of these rooms cold, and with the balls Such are the comforts of a furnace heated house when a I.ennox steel furnace is used, but it has not always been so even with furnace heat. There was a time when the old fashioned furnace was made of heavy cast iron sec­ tions placed one on top of another and sealed at the joints with asbestos cement. When heated the iron would expand and break the cement then the furnace would leak gas into the air chamber which would come up into the living rooms to pollute the atmosphere of the whole house. Then the intense heat of a furnace fire would very often crack the fire pot causing -the fur nace to leak more g-as and ashes into the house. This is what gave the hot air furnace a 'bad name for causing dirt and dust. The Lennox steel furnace revolutionized hot air furnace heating.

Special to Times-Republican. West Union, Sept. 15.—After spend ing five months in jail on a charge of murdering his father, Walter Whitbeck, 32 years old. was placed on trial here before Judge Hobson. Arlow Whitbeck. the father, was killed in Fayette county Wednesday evening, March 2o, 1908. He had gone to the barn to milk the cows. When near the barn door he was pounced upon by some one with a club and was struck six times on the head and instantly killed. So severe was the beating that when surgeons arrived they only had to cut in one place two and one-half inches to lift the entire skull. The coroner's jury, three days later, returned a verdict that Walter Whitbeck, his son, was guilty of the crime. From all that can be learned, the feeling between father and son had WALTER WHITBECK, Alleged Murderer of His Father. 'been strained. On March "4, they start ed from their farm to town, Walter saying he was going to .Minneapolis. On the way, Walter got out of the wagon and rode with a neighbor and then went the rest of the way on foot. His father said the next day, "Walter has gone away, I don't know where." The fact is established that Walter did go to Minneapolis, for lie was seen on the train as far north as Conover. A letter from him postmarked Minne apolis was received Thursday by his mother. But it» seems clear that he was In the vicin'ity of his home on Wednesday, for witnesses will testify that he rode with them from Calmar to Atkinson that he bought bologna at a meat market, that he was seen by several persons on the home road that on one instance he made a detour thru a field to avoid meeting a team, and that he was seen after 6 o'clock within two miles of his father's place. After the murder of his father he was not seen until after his arrest by the sher iff. He was located at Duluth and on April 1 was placed under arrest. At that time he had $417 in bills and a ARLOW WHITBECK, The Murdered Man. 44-caliber revolver loaded In all cham bers. His father was known to have money on his person prior to his death, but the pocketbook had been rifled and replaced in his pocket when he was found. At first Mrs. Whitbeck was held, but after three days was dismissed from custody. There was strong suspicion that another was implicated, but this theory was dropped later. Walter Whitbeck maintains he is innocent and it is said he will come to the trial with an alibi. iLOVER TRIES SUICIDE. Being Repulsed, He Attempts Life on Sweetheart's Doorstep.

Special to Times-Republican. Garner, Sept. 15.—The Corwith bank tangle is nearlng a solution in the dis trict court. There are now less than twenty cases under advisement by the court, decisions having been rendered in the 300 odd cases which first bur dened the docket of the special session which was called for the purpose of straightening up the affairs of the un fortunate bank looted by Standring. Since the arguments where com pleted Judge Clark has had the most difficult and complicated cases to the number of eighteen under advisement. These most complicated cases include those in which the forgery question figures most prominently. All are big claims and total nearly $100,000. Those holding the forged paper allege pre ferred claims because they hold that the funds entrusted to Standring were trust funds. Other complicated cases in the few remaining are those in which depositors claim preference be cause they say their money was placed in the bank for special purposes and that the bank wrongfully mingled their funds with those of the bank. This is one of the most difficult questions for decision by Judge Clark. In these cases depositors issued checks on funds they had in the bank for part or all of their funds to be used in certain ways. Their attorneys claim that the funds be drawn out at first de creased and then increased the funds of the bank when they were put back for special purposes. The opposing at torneys claim that the funds of the bank remained the same and that therefore they have no preferred claims. Judge Clark will hand down de cisions in these cases before the closn of the September term of court. WILL CREMATE REMAINS. Friends Will Observe Wish of Harry D. Overholt, lewa City Suicide.

Special to Times-Kepublican. Des Moines, Sept. 15.—While the hot and dry weather o.l' the past week has been the salvation of many corn fields of Iowa, the same conditions have con tributed to the injury of late corn ant! has dried up pastures and shortened the apple crop by causing the fruit to fall. Director Chappel in his weekly crop bulletin says: The past week has been the warm est second week in September since 1897. The mean daily temperature was from six to eight degrees above the normal, and the maximum temperature ranged from about 80 degrees to 96 de grees. No rain, except a trace at two stations, was reported. The high temperature, cloudless weather, and intense sunshine, with brisk, dry winds, have made ideal con ditions for ripening corn, and at least 50 per cent of 'the early planted fields are now practically safe from the ef fects of'frost, and, with another week of favorable weather, fully 75 per cent of the crop will be out of danger. The dry, hot weather has checked the de velopment of some of the late planted corn, but under the most favorable conditions much of it could not have matured, so the loss is immaterial as compared with the rapid advancement made in the early planted fields. Con siderable corn was cut during the week. The dry weather also checked fall plowing, and has had a damaging ef fect on pastures, which arc becoming short over the larger portion of the state. There was, however, considera ble plowing done during the fore part of the week, and fall seeding of rye and wheat was begun in southern dis tricts, under favorable conditions. Garden truck continues to be plenti ful, and peaches are exceptionally good. Apples are falling rapidly on ac count of the dry weather and brisk winds, and the crop will be much lighter than anticipated. The prospects are still favorable for a large crop of clover seed. BUFFALO CENTER FAIR WEEK District Association Expects Largest Crowd Ever Entertained There. Special to Times-Ilepublican. Buffalo Center, Sept. 15.—This is fair week for the Buffalo Center District Fair association, and the town is fast filling up with attractions. The Wright Comedy company will hold forth all week at the opera house, and with the roller skating rink, merry-go-round, trained animal circus, free vaudeville, balloon ascension and other attractions the "boys and girls" will have the time of their life. Buffalo Center is looking for the largest crowd she ever wit nessed, and with good weather she will have it. Several land buyers have been seen out with our real estate men of late. No sales are reported as yet, but some have left offers. With land selling cheaper in this locality than in any place in the state, there should toe more of it moving. There are several "good bargains" offered for about $55 an acre for improved farms, and a couple of quarters without improvements at about $45 an acre. With about ten days more of good "corn weather" to finish up -the late corn and get it out of the way of frost, these lands will advance $10 an acre. The ball games at the fair grounds this 'week promise to be for "blood." The game between Forest City and Garner on Wednesday, will not be slow by any means, and then the winner of •that game plays Belmond's crack team on Thursday. The purses are good ones and worth playing for. COURT RECESS OVER. Several Interesting Cases Up for Trial at Northwood. Special to Times-Republican. Northwood, Sept. 15.—District court convened again yesterday, after a week's recess. The first case to be tak en up is that of O. B. Wall vs. the Iowa Central railroad, which involves the flooding of land owned by the plaintiff, thru the building of the rail road embankment across the natural water course thru which the property in question should be drained. Another case which will probably be: up for trial, is that of the town of Northwood against Charles Walker. The town seeks to recover some $95— the expense incurred in connection with a special election held last spring to decide whether or no a franchise for the maintenance of a second electric light plant should be granted Walker. Mr. Walker alleges that the mayor and council did not submit the ques tion in the form his petition demand ed, and did not submit it at the gen eral spring election as he asked, but at a special election.

A strong and healthy, stomach guarantees a sound and active brain. The man with a sound stomach —a stomach that is doing for the body just what Nature intended it to do—is the man who is always prepared for any emergency. He is "there with the goods." The man with a sick stomach, Is a man sick all over. When the stomach is irritated by undigested food, the blood and heart are di rectly affected. Then dullness, un natural sleepiness, sick-headaches, vertigo and fainting spells, and even serious brain trouble develop. Kodol will prevent these. Spurring the stomach and brain of Traer, has just finished the con' struction of a solid cement bridge fields. The bridg« spans a dry rui fields. The bridge suans a dry run and is buiR, so that two teams can easily pass. This is the first bridge of its kind to be built in this locality by an individual on his farm. Mr. Howard is now able to drive across his farm by means of the bridge, and thus con-t Kiderably shorten the distance, and! will also not bo put to the expense of putting in a small wooden bridge every few years. Paul and Cora Ewing are on their way home from Ireland, being expected here today. Al, son of Henry Owens, has gone to Humboldt, to attend college during the coming year.

Y. 1 Th* Association of American Advertisers KM examined md certified to the circulation oi The neurostone is only another niche cut in the wall of a foreknowledge of old age and death. None ever climb higher, the niches are all on a level thru all the centuries of astrologers, chemists, savants and scientists. The dream of the world has been a specific against natural decay and all the dreamers have followed each other down the dusty pathway to the common goal. Neurostone, aqua vitae, life elix irs, are part of the universal protest against death. Still the reaper with the acy^vajj,d hour glass does a full day's work'every day. But so long as a straw floats before their eyes, drowning men will grasp at it and float a. little longer for the effort. The old order changes and the old generation fades and God reveals himself in many ways. And death is one of these revalations, per haps the best of all. But it would be interesting to try the neurostone on Uncle George, and eay Bill Parrott, of Waterloo. A NEW HOUSE ON THE FARM. The building of a suitable home on the farm has become in this day and age as much of a problem as it has long been with the town resident. The time in Iowa agriculture has passed when any four walls wrill do if they have a roof over them. The new house with modern conveniences is coming along with higher price levels and age. Of what then shall it be? As the man of experienced architect ural eye journeys thru the country and notes the rise of the farmer's man sion he wonders why sine and huge ness seems to have impressed so many successful men when they all lament the help problem on the farm. Seldom does a farmer start to build a line new house that he does not erect a huge building and it is practically certain that his wife will be unable to care "Tor it as she would like to do. Besides 4ts size is entirely unnecessary. The modern craze among the city classes who have the means with which to indulge their tastes is for the bungalow. Nowhere would this style ap pear so thoroughly in its proper place as on the farm. The combination of •story and a half bungalow would be jgven better.

There is neither end nor limit to "cures"—on paper. Brown-Sequard pinned his faith to the goat as the vehicle of eternal youth and hundreds of savants and scientists have held the elusive essences of Immortality almost within grasp since poor old Ponce de Leon died at the end of his •earch for a Bethsedaen pool where he might wash away the years and wrinkles and renew the strength of his youth. The latest is Sir Jamen Grant's neurostone, or youth giving machine. Sir James has used it to such good effect that he has renewed his failing eye sight and has the vision of an eagle. He is active.with the agility of an early day. Digestions are replaced "while you wait." by the neurostone-. It turns back the clock and continues the session. The account of the meeting where the virtues and the marvelous powers of the new machine were explained and expatiated upon does not go into minute details. It does not tell how many treatments are necessary to start an octogenarian seeking a young wife or give an old man en uncon trollable desire for cuffs on his trous ers, fancy neckwear and hatbands and the conviction that every one past years of age is helplessly ignorant and out of date. It doesn't specify at just what stage in the course grandma be gins to make go goo eyes and giggle behind her hand on the street cars. These things are something that one should know about before rushing madly from a second into a third child hood by use of the neurostone. Suppose Uncle George Perkins should take a treatment, fly back three of four years in twenty minutes and start boosting Cummins and knocking fossilization? Imagine Mr. Bryan tak ing a treatment before dinner and electrifying his audience with a real free silver harangue in this day when accumulated property at Lincoln and common caution combine to muffle the silver clarion of his tongue. Fancy Lafe Young harking back a decade and writing a political biography of Ed Hunter and Joe Blythe. Say, this is growing serious. The neurostone is as dangerous as the unloaded gun. Don't: point it at Iowa. t-s from the farm. 't &4"H s, ",'j K* Itectural conception is that of a build ing which has grown up in a garden as pretty as any flower in it and the farm home that is not made In a garden falls to measure up to its opportunities always. Economically the bungalow costs no less to build than tlie boxlike house but it saves steps. In the lirst place there is but one parlor or living room and that is a very large one. Any faj-m home that has more simply wastes that much house and energy. One dining room and one large kitchen are sut tlcient. The rest of the house should be given over to bed rooms and tho more on the one floor the easier for one wo man to look after. In any farm home the open lire place should always be made one of the fam ily and this is always the central feat ure of a bungalow. Again the maxi mum basement for storage of Vege tables. fuel and for other farm pur poses is desirable. This the bungalow style affords and beauty of design or convenience in arrangement is not sacrificed to obtain it. No farm home is complete until it contains every comfort known to the most, modern city dwelling. First of all is a bath room with waterworks sup plied from storage tanks, a windmill, or engine and cistern. They are easily available and are necessaries. Secondly conies the heating plant. No modern house in town lacks either a hot air furnace, hot water or steam heating plant and none on the farm can ever be modern without one or the other form of heating. Cold floors, drafts, cold rooms, hot rooms, smoke and ashes in a house from the old fash ioned stove are relics of the past. The central heating plant should heat every room and every corner in every room to an even temperature and should keep the home ventilated with fresh, health-giving atmosphere and should supply hot water to the bath rooms. Following modern plumbing and heat ing, comes farm made lights and fuel gas. then the hard wood floors, oak finish and careful decoration which go to make up a modern house in town even more appropriate for the coun try home. At this time of year when the re sults of a season's toil and investment are known, when the question of a new house on the farm is up for debate, let fundamentals of modern architecture be recognized and let size give way to compactness in order that beauty of design and the comforts of modern equipment may be provided. Nothing I has been herein suggested that is not possible within an expenditure of from $3,000 to $5,000. Let an architect be employed and let the charming bung alow home with its garden setting come to the Iowa farm. Let there be such a picture painted upon the childhood im pressions of rising'generations that no power on earth can drag them awaj AS THEY GO BY TO THE FAIR. They came today, not exactly as you and I went to the fair in the old days, but they came. Third avenue and West Main saw its thousands and Boone its tens of thousands—approximately. Young and old, gay and grave, gig gling and dignilied the country people came to the fair. Do you remember the day of your first fair? You were a little boy in charge of your parents and the crowd was the biggest and most interesting feature. The man with the colored bal loons attracted covetous attention but the chances are .that your relations with him failed to go far enough to include the commercial. You didn't care much for the stock exhibit and you simply couldn't see much of the races because a big farmer and a fat woman stood between you and the track. Why is it that a fat woman or a big man always stands right in front of a small boy? About all there was in it for you was the glorious knowledge that you were "at the fair." Your recollections begin to dim about sundown and the I last memory Isjf' of being shaken into I consciousness at the home gate. How you got to bed you never knew, but it was next morning all too soon. A little later when you went with your bigger brother and was permitted the freedom of the advanced age of 12 things were different. You had a whole half dollar—if father was- liberal to recklessness—and got inside on the "family ticket" with your capital un impaired. Remember you bought a red balloon thus satisfying an unspeaka ble desire and the culmination of old determination and after you got it didn't know what to do with the blamed thing but refused to cast it loose as representing one-fifth of your available property. It was an asset, and like some others since acquired, more annoyance than profit or gratification. But that trip you saw things. If there was gambling you crowded up close and watched with lively interest not unmixed with horror at 'lie brazen wickedness displayed—a horror that was mingled with satisfaction that you were there to see and later ivlate with an air of expert familiariLy to less for tunate fellows. When the trotting horse fell, breaking the sulky unci the driver's arm you shamed the Ked Cross by your prompt appearand'. W'lien the fight occurred you had the police beaten a. block and when the blaze broke out back of the stables the fire depart ment got the distance flag. Well, I guess that was something like a fair. And von proudlv showed a. three-cent piece as a proof of thnlt aftei ou got home. There was something to a fail like that. Remember you and Pete talked over and planned how you'd follow the fairs with a "stand" when you got a little older? "Them fellers make a lot of money." But the best fair you ever attended was that time you mustered up cour age to ask dad Tor the colts, hired n. top buggy of the livery man and took ller. Went to town the night before the fair opened and brought out the buggy. Was up at :s:ISO next morning. Just slatted the chores, got breakfast and was off at sunrise. Kig looked blamed good. The new Ivory rings on the har ness, the. ribbon tied on the whalebone whip, it all looked blamed good. Wasn't a speck on the colts, had their tails and manes braided for a week. Didn't she look good when she hur ried blushing down the walk? Good narrow seated buggy too—that livery man knew his business. Say, you old hardened gray-headed reprobate if you have outlived the memory of that 15 mile drive between the hedges in tho air of a bright September morning why don't you finish ft up with the under taker? You're dead enough to bury. Proud, proud as Pompey of the girl, the rig, of yourself. Het out to spend $5 and didn't intend to take a cent back. Had your pictures taken to gether didn't you? Mother looked a lit tle glum at Sophronla when she found it out. Went to the hotel for dinner. Was a. little awed by the majestic port of the clerk and confused when the waiter lady said swiftly: "boiled tongue, roast beeef or Irish stew, lemon, apple, or cocoanut pie, and tapioca pudding." Didn't know just what to do with the multitudinous dishes she brought, did you? But by jinks, you had the money to pay for it. Saw the races from the grandstand. O, well, you know how it was yourself. And the' drive hack home. Well, I wasn't going to give anybody away was I? lluh! You know you did. Sis and Hank was right behind you and you had your arm about her all the time. Till they turned off this side of Wilson's mill. Good Gosh! It was bright moonlight and you hail the back curtain up! All watt! We grow old, but the county fair stays young, the highway gleams in the sun and glimmers in the moonshine and youtli and hope and all that cluster about the earlier years spring immortal with the recurrent Septembers. So they came this morning and so shall they go happily home to night and the time shall come when they shall sit on the porch and by the windows and see youth go by. Then may memory bring a smile to their faces and a tenderness about their hearts like that which comes to us as they go by to the fair. Topics of the Times. One thing Is certain, that payless session in November will be short. No deadlocks will hold it for any pro tracted period at least. Billy Hearst. should not compete with Billy Bryan on points of veracity. More of us read the American than read the Commoner and the odds are therefore against Billy Hearst. Marriage is not so much of a fail ure as those who get married. Divorce suits and automobile injury cases lead the Iowa dockets. But both industries continue to grow. People who advertise for what they want to buy are assured of a market in which they enter as the only pur chaser. There is no need of competing with a whole barnyard full of buy ers. If the present period of preparation has succeeded in scaring republicans a little it will be the best kind of cam paigning that could have happended. September weather in Iowa is Italy, California. Florida boiled down and toned up to a harmony o! climate that can not be equaled the world over. A typical September day in Iowa is the strongest incentive to longevity and in tensifies the desire to live forever. A scientist asserts that plants have eyes. His assertion is supported this week by the spectacles afforded at the Marshall county fair where fruits and vegetables look all right whether they see or not. Either our fathers did not know what they were talking about or the climate has changed. Nothing else will explain these Iowa peaches. No man has yet been suggested who could enter the race against Cummins with as much strength as Walter I. Smith. It is just as well for progress ives that the congressman likes his present job. Advertising enormous profits as probable if the public buys certain stocks doesn't see to make the banks lose much of their savings ac counts. The public is a little cautious of scare line stock advertising these days. They are counting on the republican majority ill Maine about now. Bryan has owned up to $1",0.000 so let's give him a rest as to his fortune. It is good to know ihat he has some business sense since lie aspires to be president, we all know that he got every dollar of it honestly and it would only make hard feelings to express our real opinion of these who pay good money for as poor a newspaper as the Commoner.

To the Waterloo Times-Tribune "The whole thing is explained. Mr. Cannon's brother made some lucky land investments." "The poor man at last is to come into his own," exclaims the iKeokuk Gate City, observing that "The price of automobile tires has been reduced 20 per cent." The Sioux City Tribune says: "Cum mins is regarded by the voters as too much of a party man and yet the in terests assail him as a democrat." The Waterloo Reporter edited by the Parrott's says "The law as above seems to be fairly acceptable to republicans of both kinds, and very little criti cism of it has been seen or heard." •Of course without much excitement the Sioux City Journal observes that "candidates are now engaged in tak ing the stump. That helps to clear the field." "It is war to the knife and the knife to the hilt," says the Odebolt Chron icle "and it looks now as if Fred White might be the next governor ot Iowa and Claude Porter Allison's suc cessor. That is certainly the aim of the forces which are opposing Cum mins." "It is I he privilege of men to bolt the ticket and those who want to ta.ke advantage of that privilege can always Xante's find some excuse to offer in mitiga tion." remarks the Webster City Free man-Tri'bune. "Hence'the men who were insisting that the matter should he left entirely with the next legisla ture are now saying that the major ity ot the party In the legislature is not competent to make a nomina tion." As the Tama Herald sees It "Peace In politics as In other relations of life: is to be desired. The trouble Is that too many of us want peace only on the terms we lav down. Permanent peace seldom follows a compromise and It Is difficult to escape the conclusion that the shortest road to it is to win as pronounced a victory or endure an overwhelmingly defeat. The dove of peace may then arise ifrotn the dying embers of factionalism. The smell of smoke may be on her plumage but so many will be looking for her that she will be recognized." "Tt will probably be Cummins against .Tackson, or Jaekson against Cummins In the senatorial contest. Now give each man a fair chance, suppress the literary bureaus and the excited men who are the hangers-ln In polities. Af ter the election let the man who re ceived the majority of the ballots be elected senator on November 24. Lot us have peace," Is the plaint of the Des IMoines Capital, pre-eminently a peaceful newspaper with a leaning to ward harmony lo, these many years. Looker-On In Iowa Xewburg, Sept. 15.—During "the late unpleasantness" In Des Moines, tho one feature that caused more comment than any other, was the reported state ment of one representative, that if he should vote for Cummins for senator, lie would fall of re-election, this not because his constituents would go back on him, but because the "boss" of the county eould prevent his re-election, could even elect a democrat, if he saw fit. This open confession caused many to remark that the primary system had come none too soon in that coun ty, if such bosslsm existed In Iowa. Consistently, this representative voted against the amendment to "the primary law. Human nature, perhaps political human nature better expresses it, will be much in evidence at the coming of our next general election. Today one radical republican said he should voce for Bryan because of the fracas in Des Moines. Many will scra.tch Candidate Bleakley's name on account of 'his ac tive work in the last session of the leg islature. The standpatters In the rank and fll? are fully as Intense in thotight and language as their leaders. One of this tribe in Brooklyn, pretty good sort of a man too, pleasantly remarked, "to hell with Cummins." And the Lord help John .Lacev if he ever wants politi cal preferment againl in Iowa. He is recognized as the brains of the stand pat element, the head and front of ail this "ruction." Even in the judicial convention good friends of Judge Ev an* refused to vote for the judge, be cause Lacey was supposed to favor Evans. Meanwhile the democrats are claiming everything from Bryan down to coroner. The hot weather of last week insures a crop of sound corn in central Iowa. And the reports from Illinois seem to make high prices certain and sure. Traveling men report many thousands of acres there that are ruined. One merchant shows a letter from his sis ter in southern Illinois in substance that they had too much rain early in the season and not enough when they needed it. Some parts of Illinois have a good crop, but thousands of acres are almost an entire failure. "Where needed there's generally a traveling man on the spot. The wom an with the two babies and the big grip was In the caboose. She was go ing to catch the passenger train south, by getting oft at thd junction where there was no depot. And it was a quarter of a mile from where the en gine stopped at the crossing back to the caboose where she got off. The conductor held the train while the big traveling man took one baby and the grip and carried them up to the cross ing, the woman following as comfort able as you please. Then the travel ing man "swung on" ito the caboose as it passed him, came in and sat down as tho he did suoh things every day. They do. And we have some mighty capable women in Iowa. too. This time the young woman not over 20, drove up in a single buggy to the harness shop. On the seat was a 15-months-old youngster, and in her lap a 3-months old baby. Could he flx that harness? And while a lot of men stood around she got out of the buggy, baby on one arm and unharnessed the horse, even taking off the bridle and putting on the halter. Luckily, the horse appre cited the situation, and helped all he could. Then a neighbor drove up. She'd had the worst time today. Those horses and mules got out this morning and she had an awful time getting them in. Thought she'd roast and that baby was pretty heavy to carry when you're chasing a mule colt. "Where's Elmer?" asked the neigh bor. "Oh. he's gone a-flshing," cheer fully answered this capable Iowa girl woman. (Why growers of fruit in Iowa and elsewhere do not use the wires and mails to 'find some market for their product, this when prices fall below paying figures at home, has long been an unsolved question with the writer. A case in point was this personal ex perience On the 31st of August this year the retail price of apples was 50 "cents a peck, $2 a bushel, at White Bear Lake. Minn. On the same day as good apples were sold out of ped dlers' wagons in Marshalltown at 26 will satisfy the tastes of all persons who love delicious flavors, S&\e\ovx% 1 *3 cents per bushel. Of course this Is an extreme case. By this time apples are probably retailing at. White Bear Lake at prices in Marshalltown, plus freight, plus wholesale and retail dealers' profits. But if some apple grower in •Iowa had used the long distance tele phone lie probably could have sold his whole product in 'Minnesota towns at profitable prices. Of course, when a grower is in the fruit business on a large scale, lie is "on to a.il tills bus iness, and at nearly every large town are buyers that will pay all fruit Is worth. This is a suggestion to the small grower that, expects to market his product at home at retail. Iowa Newspapers LONG-LIVFJD FAMILY. (New iSharon Star) Mr. A.

Washington, (Sept. 14.—It has hap pened frequently in American politics that the presidency has been decided by a very narrow margin, and that not" withstanding a large majority of both the popular and the electoral vote*has been cast fo:- the successful candidate, the change of a few thousand votes would have elected his opponent. Xever was this trith more strikingly illus trated than In 1S96, -when William Mc Kinley had a popular majority of half a million and a majority in the elector al college of 95. Then were 447 doc toral votes that year, of which Mc Kinley had 271 and Bryan 176. A ma jority was 224, which Bryan would have had could he have carried Cal ifornia, Indiana, Kentucky, West Vir ginia and Oregon. It Is noteworthy that these five states 'Combined gave MoKinley in 189G a plurality of only 34.862, which means that if Bryan had been able to secure a trifle more than one half that number, properly dis tributed among the Ave sta.tes named, he would have been president in the place of (McKinley. It is this well known fact with regard to presiden tial politics that makes every cam paign uncertain, no matter how confi dent one side or the other may seem, and which in a close yefir, as the pres ent one may be, awakens an unusual interest in politics. That interest has not yet manifested itself in the present campaign in any large way 'but before the first of October, or at least by that time, the country will be thinking of little else than the contest being woged between 'Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft. It is interesting to observe that the five states named above are this year placed in .he doubtful column by one party or the other, altho there is dis agreement as to whether the doubt favors Taft or Bryan. It does not fol low, as everybody must admit, that Mr. Bryan will be elected president if he should carry these five states this year, but their relation to the contest of 1896 is very suggestive of possibili ties which |nay be wrapped up in the contest of roday, and of .the need that there is for both campaign committees to look carefully after the. situation in all the debatable states. Some Rows on the Coast. Taking the .five states in order, Cal ifornia, it may be stated, is claimed as doubtful by the democrats, owing to the anti-Japanese declarations of the Denver convention. The republicans, however, maintain that the state is safely republican, owing to the ad ministration's policy of encouraging trade in the far east, thus building up •the Pacific states, and to the fact that Mr. Hearst is a power in California politics. Oregon has been 'giving increasing republican majorities since 1896, but there is trouble there this year, grow ing out of the fact chat the.direct pri maries have ordered a legislature that will surely be republican, to elect a democrat, Governor Chamberlain, to the United States senate. The repub licans admit that the senatorial situa tion has been complicated in Oregon, but,they believe that the state will be for Taft, altho their claims are toe ing made with soma degree of modesty. The democrats, of course, claim the state for Bryan. The republicans are claiming that Kentucky will be for Taft this year, but the best advices reaching this city indicate that it will be for Bryan, who, of course, claims it. Kentucky was car ried by 'McKinley in 189B, but the dem ocrats have carried it since that year on presidential matters, altho last year it elected a republican governor and now has a republican senator- elect. The last year result, it is pointed out here, was due to internal dissen sions, the democratic party in Ken tucky .being sadly divided at that time. The situation in West "Virginia has been improving ol' late, so far as the republicans are concerned. There is now a chance that there will be but one set of presidential electors, and that whatever may happen to the state tick et, the united party will stand ibehind the republican candidates for electors. This fact is giving rise to the impres sion that West Virginia is not nearly as doubtful as it was a month ago, and that tho outlook there for victory for Mr. Taft has been mightily improved. Tt is still too early, however, to say that he will surely .carry the state. Indiana Really Doubtful. Indiana is claimed by both .parties, but neither .has any substantial basis for its claim. The best that can 'be said at this time is that the state is doubt ful, anil that while for certain reasons M. Tact appears to have something of a lead, any moment that lead may be lost and the state turned toward Bryan. For at least a month it will not be possible to speak with any cer tainty regarding Indiana, and it may not be possible then. It is not denied that Mr. Taft 'be gins the campaign generally speaking, •with the advantage on his side. Tho point of dispute comes as to whether it will be possible for Mr. Bryan to over come that advantage. This is a. dispute which only the voters will settle ef fectually. Allowing for th- new state of Okla homa, there will be 4X3 votes in the electoral college this year, with 242 as a majority. Roth sides arev already busy making up tables showing how they think these votes will fall as be tween Taft and Bryan, and it is just as we'l to say in that connection that the claim of neither side should be accepted at its face value by the man who is really looking for information. In the Taft column there are states which are clearly doubtful, or in which Bryan seems to have the better chance, and the Bryan column is equally unre liable, Ties© 4^bles are by, 5: if- .t* v- partizans for partizan purposes, and In no sense do they represent the sober, intelligent judgment of the men mak ing them. Every Man His Own 8eer. Without starting an argument, it ought to be possible to classify certain slates as fairly certain to give their electoral votes either to Taft or to Bryan, and certain others as being in the debatable column, with leanings one way or the other. The task, how ever, is noi without its difficulties, for not only do well-informed men dis agree regarding the weight of certain essentials in the making up of a table, but the situation itself, assuming the table to be absolutely correct at the time it is made, may change, almost overnight. The campaign is yet very young, and that is another difficulty in the way of an estimate. About all that can be done at this time, then, will bo to indicate the general trend of the campaign, keeping in mind the fact that the issues which are to give the victory to one side or the other have possibly not been formulated, the people thus far manifesting very little interest in what is going on. It Looks Like This. An honest effort to classify the rea sonably certain Taft and Bryan states fjives the following result: For Taft— California 10 Connecticut 7 Delaware da ho Illinois 27 Iowa Kansas Maine Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota New Hampshire New Jersey North Dakota Ohio Pennsylvania Rhode Island Vermont Washington Wyoming Total For Bryan— Alabama Arkansas Florida Georgia Kentucky Louisiana Mississippi Missouri Nevada Oklahoma North Carolina South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia Total Total Probably For Bryan— Colorado Montana .213 1 1 9 5 13 13 9 10 18 3 7 12 9 12 18 12 .161 In the "Probably" List. There is great difficulty in classify ing the remaining states, republicans thinking they ought to be put down for Taft, and democrats that they ought to be put down for Bryan. As a mat ter of fact,, however, they do not seem thus far to be certainly for either, altho certain leanings or tenden- Probably For Taft— Maryland South Dakota 4 Utah 3 Wisconsin IS West Virginia 7 Oregon Total 8 Three Defy Classification. Three of the states are apparently so uncertain that is seems foolish at this time to put them into anything but a strictly doubtful column. These states are New York with 39 electoral votes, Indiana with 15, and Nebraska with 8. It may ba necessary to reconstruct these tables before the end of the month when later reports come in. Today, however, the best information that is available suggests that the states stand as is here outlined. Circular Ambition.

At the fair grounds yesterday after noon everything was perfect chaos and .there did not seem to be a solitary branch of the institution that was in full running order except the office of Secretary W. M. Clark, who was busier than a housewife on moving day, with all sorts of business on his hands ev ery minute. His office was crowded with people. They were men and wom en, old and young, some coming to see about space 'for exhibits, others to see if they could not have a little more room than they had, or a different lo cation, or to complain about some trivial thing that looked to .them as big as a mountain. Mr. Clark did not lose his complac ent demeanor and a suspicion of a smile hung close to the surface amid all the confusion. He did not get 'rat tled," and while he had a hard time listening to what was being said to him, on account of the hum of a dozen Voices at once in a small room crowded with folks and furniture, and in try ing to carry on several conversations at once, he had been thru the same ex perience before. It would take a stenographer with a dozen pair of hands to get down all the things that jusLrJike l^injy ".-Ail Close Association Formed For Purpose of Combatting Ad verse Legislation OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYES Meeting Held in for National Action on Public Senti­ ment and Legislation—Labor and Capital Represented. Chicago, Sept. 15.—The first step to ward the formation of a great "closed railroad organization, designed to em brace investors in railroad properties. the heads of the various systems, and the arm of railroad employes, was tak en yesterday In Chicago. The new body Is known as "the American road Employes and Investors' associa tion." The move, whicli is not without po litical significance, altho the organiza tion primarily is to be nonpolitlcal, is admittedly a mutual effort of,the heads of tho systems and the leaders of tho most powerful railroad employes' la bor organization to form an offensive and defensive alliance to further fa vorable railroad legislation ar.d to wield such Influence politically an shall further the prosperity of the roads and the men who work for them. Labor and Capital Represented. The meeting at which the organiza tion was formed was held yesterday afternoon In the Railway Exchange building. Representing the railroad em ployes and as heads of labor organiza tions enrolling a round half million men and voters, were P. H. Morrisey, grand master of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, one of the strong est labor organizations in. the United States Warren S. Stone, grand chief of Announcvi-rit Givci Out. At the clos_ of 1'ie m^etins. wnich was not public, f.ill.)w:.-.g an nouncement was given out: "At a meeting of representatives of the investors of the railways of the United States and the representatives of a number of the national organiza tions of railway employes, held on this date, an organization was formed to be known as "The American Railroad •Employes and Investors' association," with the following as Its declaration of purposes: "Its purposes shall be, by all law ful methods, to cultivate,and maintain between its members such a spirit of mutual interest and such concern on the part of all of tliem for the welfare anil 'prosperity of American railroads as will best promote their successful and profitable operation for the benefit alike of their employes, investors and the public. "To encourage by every proper method cordial and friendly Reeling on the part of the public toward Ameri can railroads and their business. "To publicly provide means and methods for obtaining consideration and hearing from all legislative bod ies and commissions empowered to enact laws, rules and regulations af fecting the conduct and operation of railroads. "To do whatever lawful things may be necessary to secure a fair return alike to capital and to labor interested Order From Chaos Marks jzt a a Preliminary Day at Fair for "ome folks. Then he would hang up, sit down, and let liis ears act once more as a general depository for var ious sorts of remarks from complaints to pleasantries. Yesterday was a sort of preliminary day, and there' were not very many people on hand outside, the exhibitors and workmen and everywhere it was pounding stakes, driving nails, carry ing water or doing some small job to ward making all ready. Everybody was laboring with a view to getting things it ssoemthin fwt-poeo-h- mom ocm erything in good condition for the vis itors. One tent which was expected to be full of interest was not. This was the canvas labeled, "Bryan tent." It was bare of contents, all that was ins'ide being wind. There seemed to be some thing coincidental and appropriate about this, tho. were being said to him, but he did not discovered after a while that he was seem to need a. dozen pair of ears. Once in a while he took a little time for a diversion in the way of a single, lone conversation as a relief from the dozen variety. This was when he went to the telephone and listened to some body over the wire. This was to him Next to the Bryan tent was a space where a man was busy apparently building an edifice of some kind out of tile cylinders. He was building a circu lar wall, apparently, and one wondered when l:e got it high enough how he would climb out or whether he intend ed to bury himself alive. Maybe he going to be bottled up and tore it all down again. The only people who were in shape for the opening were the people with iunch counters, popcorn stands, peanut booths and so forth. The only one of these that did not seem to be ready I in American railroads, with due re gard at all times to efficient service, fair treatment and safety to the public. "This association shall .it no time bu used for partisan political purposes, nor shall it take any part in controv ersies, If any, which may arise between railroad employes and railroad offi cials.'' 1 there were present A.

Mr. Morrisey refused to discuss the move or the significance of the forinataion of a railroad organi zation that might have weight on both _____ I political and legislative purposes. Railroad presidents also were re Chicago Lays Basis ticent in discussing the mutter. But It was admitted that the formation of a national railroad men's organization long has been advocated by prominent railroad officials. Within the last few months railroad men's protective asso-j ciations have been organized in Ne-1 braska, lovva, and several western states with the purpose of working for railroad legislation and combating re strictive measures passed by state leg islatures. The purpose of the organizations was primarily to further the campaign of education thru which the railroads of the country hope to gain popular fav or and acquiescence In a general ad vance In freight rates. Comes as Logical Result. "I do not know just what was done' this afternoon further than that an organization was effected." said L. C. Fritch, assistant to President Harahan of the Illinois Central, last night. "The move is a logical result of the forma tion of state associations of railroad men's protective organizations. "1 do not regard it as a political move but as a widespread effort to band railroad men together to protect the railroads and In so doing them selves from radical and unjust legisla tion. "The main purpose, I believe, is to carry forward the campaign of educa tion thru which the railroads hope to show the people that a general advance In rates is just and reasonable. It Is a case of self-preservation and the trou ble thru which the railroads have passed has taught railroad men that they must have a powerful organiza tion to protect Lhe roads upon which they are dependent." THRONG SEES BIG PARADE. *1. r, .u Police Kept Busy Handling Crowds and the Brotherhood of Locomotive engm- _. eers A. B. Garetson, president of the Stopping Rioting.

Lnglish churchmen who planned Cardinal Vannutelli, the Pope's legate, walked at the head of the pro cession. wearing his scarlet robes and hat, but not carrying the hotrt. He was accompanied by a bodyguard of English peers of whom the Duke of Norfolk was the most prominent, and a dent of the Chicago and Alton Frank concourse of cardinals, archbishops, Trumbull, president of tho Colorado a"d bishops, who also were attired in unceretnonial robes instead of vest ments which originally it had been proposed they should wear. No such throngs of people have been seen in London since Queen Victoria's funeral, if even then. The purpose of Archbishop Bourne, the head of the Westminster diocese, and his associates who arranged the program, had been to have the host carried thru the streets in the rear of Westminster cathedral so that the great body of Catholics who were unable to partici pate in any of the services within the cathedral should have an opportunity of joining in the eucharists observances and of seeing all the high ecclesiastics present in London on this memorable' occasion. The route of the procession was lak^ thru the quiet streets adjacent to the cathedral, and but for the unexpected partisan strife which a discussion of this ceremony brought on, it probably would have been solemnized quietly and in a reverent atmosphere. 'The great majority of those who at tempted to witness the spectacle, how ever, apparently were attracted by curiosity, and a small part were open ly and demonstratively hostile. The Catholic element cheered heart ily while the procession passed by and thruout the route, but there was heard also considerable "booing," such as the English people use in theaters to ex!press displeasure at any of the plays. Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold. A. J. Nusbaum, Batesvilie, Indiana, writes: "Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distress ing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever, and a doctor's prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed to only aggra vate my case. Fortunately I insisted In the building where the fancy work, home made rugs, and school pro ducts will be shown practically nothing was in order. Everybody was busy putting things in place. While one man hammered away getting some of the school children's designs in place, on the walls an elderly man with a long gray beard was tuning a piano about fifteen feet away. He had plenty of competition in his noise but after all the kind he sounded was about the pleasantest. For there is going to be music in the fancy work building to go along with the painted plates and embroidery. A local firm has placed a piano with a mechanical player in this building to issue sweet harmony. The fruit and preserves building will also have music of a like sort, thero being two pianos there. This building had no semblance of readiness yester day, probably half the space being talc en up by plates of upples, grapes, and other fruit, and jars and glasses of preserved fruits. A few nice looking pomegranates were shown, remindful of the ancient days when this product was a royal delicacy. Over in the race track some speed ers were being hustled around tht- oval while within the track the high school! foot ball boys were practicing for Thursday's game with the Red Men.

Men eannot understand why this should be so. To them it is a mys tery because in nine times out of ten this condition is caused by a serious feminine derangement. A remedy is necessary which acts directly upon the organs afflicted, re storing a healthy normal condition to the feminine system, which will quickly dispel all hysterical, nervous and irritable conditions.

SAVINGS AND LOAN. Shareholders Appoint Committee on Organization and Adopt New Name, The shareholders in the proposed building and loan association met in Columbia hall .Monday evening for the purpose of organizing a company. An excellent attendance of leading busi ness men was present. Mr. George Whitton, who had done the promotion work, called tho meeting to order and Mr. P. L. Hayzlett, who had been president of a building and loan asso ciation for twenty-tive years in La Porte, Iowa, explained the details of the state law and the plan. Mr. C. C. St. Clair moved that a committee of five be appointed to draw up articles and by-laws for an association here. Eleven nominations were made for this committee from the floor when the motion was changed making the eleven constitute the committee. The meet ing then adjourned until next Monday evening at the same place, when the committee is to report with a plan. Immediately afterwards the com mittee, consisting of the following: George Whitton, C. F. Schmidt, P. L. Hayzlett, B. F. Cummings, A. F. Balch, C. R. Speers, J. R. Denmead, D. W. Norris, Jr., C. C.

The new association already has 1.100 shares spoken for at 50 cents per month. AN EXCEPTIONAL RECITAL. Large Audience Listened to An Organ ist of Unusual Ability. Those who were fortunate enough to attend the pipe organ recital in the Baptist church Monday evening en joyed the best pipe organ music that has ever been heard in Marshalltown. Dr. Minor C. Baldwin, of New York, gave to a large audience a program of exceptional interest and more than pleasing skill in his playing. The first number, "Great Toccata," by Bach and the Sonata by Fleuret probably dis played his command of the big organ to best advantage altho the storm com posed by himself and played with the atrical setting of darkened room and artificial lightning was distinctly the favorite with the audience. Peals of thunder, shrieking wind and patter of rain on the roof were made extremely realistic by the music. The Reverie and several enchores of his own composi tion displayed a. sweetness of tone which called forth abundant applause. The musical critics were inclined to enthuse over the organist's pedal work. "AMUSEMENTS. Hickman-Bessey Comedy Company Opens at the Odeon. The Hickman-Bessey Comedy Com pany, playing popular-priced reper toire, opened a week's engagement at the Odeon Monday evening to a large audience that practically filled the seating capacity of the theater.

Buyers So Surfeited With Cat­ tle That Power Seemed Large ly Exhausted HOGS ADVANCE, THEN DECLINE Early Prices Were Five to Ten High­ er, Demand Being Good For All But Common, Grassy Swine, But Easier Tone Prevailed Later Sheep Mar­ ket Was Steady. Chicago, Sept. 15.—Cattle were slow and weak, with but little demand. Of ferings, standing by themselves, were not excessively heavy, but buyers be ing so surfeited with cattle thus far this week their buying power seemed to have been largely exhausted. Dried-up pastures are responsible for heavy liquidation of steers which have been run on grass, and. coming at a time when range marketing was heavy, 1 lie lower prices today were in evitable. Killers have been few weeks evitable. Killers have been storing up a surplus of beef in the past few weeks and now appear in a good way to ef fect some sharp declines whenever op portunity presents itself. Buyers are discriminating against the common stuff, but are after the good feeders. There is an abundance of about all kinds of cattle in this de partment. Hogs.

Chicago, Sept. 13—Top hogs sold at $7.45 yesterday, the highest since April 1, 1903, and 35 cents higher than a. week ago. Continued light market ing is putting up the price range at a faster pace than many of the most op timistic bulls had anticipated. Pack ers are found short of supplies for fresh-meat trade at a time when the country is disposed to hold onto hogs rather than ship. Another factor in putting up the price of hogs is that the country has n't as many hogs ready for market as many in the trade had expected. Corn has been so high in price that many hog owners have fed little of it this summer, but instead turned their holdings onto pasture. A few weeks ago these grassy hogs were a big fac tor in the trade, but nowadays there are comparatively few of them coming marketward. Owners have concluded that as long as the market continues to go higher buying corn and feeding the summer grass eaters is the best policy. Thus the trade is getting few grassers and We are so certain that I Itching.

Tho lighter average weight of market ings Is another result of high-priced corn. Last, week the average weight of marketings was 224 pounds, against 227 pounds the previous week and 255 pounds a year ago. Reasons for hogs selling at $74f'7.45 yesterday was apparent on all sides, and reasons why hogs should sell still higher In tho near future were, also ap parent.

j^"'V-v »V I SgSj fe1-1 "J •Sf p- \'f Ay fe Section Two VOLUME THIRTY-FOUR. Section Adjacent to Jewell Has Many Cribs Well Filled With Last Crop JHELD PENDING CROP THIS YEAR C. C. Wilson Discusses Windbreaks on th» Farm Experiment of Sowing Fall Wheat on Corn Land After Crop Is Laid By An 'Example in Barn Building Near Ellsworth. |3pocial-ti Times-Republican. Jewell, Sept. 15.—To the question, "What sort of a farming country is that surrounding: the towns of Jewell »nd Ellsworth?" a good answer would |e these two statements: Several farms have lately changed ownership here at a figure considera bly above the $100 mark, and many of the corncribs on the farms yet contain from a 100 to 1,000 .bushels of corn that .was grown here last year. One man, Mr. O. J. Johnson, living south from Jewell, has about 3,000 bushels of old corn that he raised himself and which •was left after feeding a lot of stock for last winter's market. He is ready to sell It now because he can see that a good crop Is certain In this part of the country this year. Natural fertility, good drainage and careful, intelligent farming have made this region one of ,the very best in this part of the state. Occasionally an enterprising farmer here and there Is demonstrating to the ipublic what can be easily done In the iway of growing a first class windbreak or shelter belt. Howard Crlll, of Gold field, at a total expense thus far of less than $50, has on his farm one of the most promising groves that I have seen. It is "L" shaped extending about BOO feet east and west and 300 north and south. The $even Inside rows are an Improved catalpa, said not to win ter-ktll,"4he next three rows are Nor way pines, then comes a row of mul berry trees and on the outside one of Russian olives. Within this the fruit for the home will be grown and the olivest»nnd mulberries besides afford ing shelter from the wind are expected to furnish plunder for the birds .that would otherwise eat what was intended for family use. It is to be observed that In projects of this kind many men carefully plan their tree plot but stop with setting out the trees and in a year or two this Is an unsightly and worthless weed patch. In the case cited, however, careful cultivation has been given which If continued a year or two Mt. Pleasant C. N. Nelson *of Burlington, was se lected as the architect of the $40,000 school house. Bids are to 'be advertised for soon. Keokuk. Fire, starting from a mysterious source, reduced the barn on the S. E.

Thei cords and veins of the wrist were cut and the flesh of his arms badly lacerated as the result of the explosion of a pop bottle In the hands of E. O. Quandt, a refreshment vender at the fair grounds and who lives at 615 North Superior street. The wound was a serious one. Iowa City. A smashed eye and a broken nose was worth $15, according to a de cision of Mayor G. W. Ball made yes terday when he imposed a fine of the foregoing amount upon Geo. Clarke for assaulting Fred Germer, the son of a well-known Iowa .City business man. The deed was committed on the camp us of the university. Madrid. Mrs. Ben Wheeler of Madrid, met with an unfortunate accident Monday In which she sustained a broken collar bone. She Is quite an aged lady and has 'been forced to make 'her way on crutches for a long time. Monday In walking on the sidewalk near her home the end of the crutch struck a hole in the sidewalk, throwing her to the ground. She struck on her shoulder with sufficient force to cause the In Jury above noted. Mason City. There was short but disastrous runaway on Main street in front of the Parker building Saturday morn ing about l^ o'clock when one of Rob ert Gibson's horses got the line under bis tall and commenced to kick and plunge. They struck the iron trolley pole on .the corner and the sudden stop threw lirs. Gibson, who was with her husband in the wagon, out of the ve hicle and onto the pavement. She struck on the back of her head and a nasty wound was inflicted. Tyrone,. Word was received here over the telephone of the serious, if not fatal, injury of a two-year-old child of a family named Dlllwell who reside "fif teen miles southwest of Melrose on a farm, in Wayne county. The little one was playing in some high grass and weeds in the yard at its home vvlien a mowing machine was put in operation to mow the yard and the child was not eeen by the operator until the sickle bad severed the limbs. The injury Is a desperate one and may cost the life of tkc infant longer as it doubtless will be, will put the windbreak in condition to take care of itself and develop into a very val uable and beautiful farm improvement. (Last fall a farmer living near Ran dall in a township adjoining this, con cluded to try something new in the way of farming. He sowed 'five acres of ground on which green corn was then standing, to fall wheat, scattering the seed by hand as he rode back and forth thru the field on horseback. Then he hitched the horse to a garden plow and covered the grain. He sowed his wheat too thick, as It afterward de veloped, but this year he harvested a crop that made about thirty bushels per acre, and several men in the vicin ity are putting in a few acres on a somewhat similar plan. They use a one-horse drill, however, that sows five rows 'between each com row, and the small shovels attached cover the seed as sown. Where the ground Is not too weedy, the machine does good work. One man objecting to being fre quently struck by the big ears of green corn as he passed along, fastened two strips of narrow board to the sides of the handles joining them in front and extending them past the handles so that they opened a clear passageway for him to walk. All that will be done until harvest time next year in these fields will be to break the stalks next winter, and the experiment will be watched with interest by the farmers of this community. .'""f A large bam recently erected by Carl Sparboe, one of the heavyweight farmers and Shorthorn cattle 'breeders of this section, on his farm near Ells worth, illustrates what can be done in this line when the item of expense is omitted from consideration, as it was in this case. This fine building Is 82x42 feet and feet high at the eaves. It was made primarily for cat tle and hay, tho space has been pro vided for eighteen horses and some grain bins, etc. There is room for something more than 160 tons of hay and for the cattle four box stalls, twenty-four open stalls and space for twenty head of loose animals have been provided. The sheeting is quar t^Wsawed fir and the dimension stuff is about half Norway pine and half white pine. There are within the build ing twenty-four upright timbers 8x8 inches, varying in length from 22 to 3« feet In height, the inner ones all set on cement piers that extend well into the ground. Cross beams of the same dimensions bind the parts of the great structure firmly together. The founda tion is composed of large boulders built into a wall that would not be unsuitable for the finest city residence. Thirty-five four-pane windows light the barn and 250 loads of gravel were required to fit the floor space for the plank and cement work. The total cost of the barn was about $3,000. C. E. WILSON. New Industry. "Who is that striking looking man near the head of the table?" asked one of the guests. "That's Mr. Jypes," answered the other. "He's a blood boiler." "What.

Council Bluffs. The Council Bluffs Grape Growers' association loaded its last car of grapes for the season yesterday. Ac cording to Manager G. W. Reye the as sociation has shipped only 100,000 baskets of grapes this year, as against 100 cars, or 270,000 baskets last year. While the shipments .this year" have been much less than those of last sea son, the prices received have been as low or even lower. It is said that this is due to the fact that the grapes in general over the middle west have rip ened at about the same time, and con sequently the market has been flooded. Council Bluffs and vicinity seems to have been the only place in which the crop was even a partial failure, the conditions here being due largely to hail. _. -if 1 Freak Bungalow Constructed Around Majestic Elm by Des Moines Man HE ABANDONS BIG MANSION Will Occupy Peculiar House as a Home —Neighbor Says Structure Was Erected for Spit* Because He Would Not Purchase Lot at High Pries New* of the Stats, Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Sept. 15.—Dr. A. O. Field's freak bungalow built around a giant elm tree at 1314 Twelfth street, the construction of which during its progress has been watched by hun dreds of curious Des Moines people, is nearly completed. Since July 25, when The Capital first gave to Des Moines people the story and the first photograph of this re markable dwelling, not a day has passed but parties of sightseers have visited the Field property on Twelfth street to see and wonder at ithe freak idea ofl constructing a house on one side of a lot where it Is necessary to build a hole in the house to accommo date the tree or else fell the forest giant. North Des Moines gossips' tongues still are wagging merrily with specula tion as. to the origin of Dr. Field'3 strange idea, and Charles E. Walker, the cigar jobber who resides just north of the Field bungalow, continues tj give curious inquirers the impression that but for him and his refusal to purchase the Field lot at Dr. Field's own price the remarkable bungalow never would have been constructed. Last July Walker swore legal ven geance on Dr. Field for building a •bungalow it was so close to the boun separated the two properties. When Dr. Field put In the foundation for hl.3 bungalow it was ho close to the boun dary line that was apparent that the workmen building the house must stand upon Walker's ground. Walker declared that he would, enjoin them from so doing and thus prevent the construction of the "house, but for one reason or another he failed to carry his, threat into execution and Dr. Field proceeded with his building unan noyed. So far as Is known Dr. Field never has told to living mortal his reason for building his bungalow so near to the boundary line that the construc tion of a shaft thru the house was necessary to accommodate the tree. Certain it is that Dr. Field wanted Rockwell City. J. M. Brown, indicted for the murder of the son's wife, Mrs. George Brown, at Manson, on Aug. 28, was arraigned in the district court here yesterday and pleaded not guilty. A motion by his attorneys to continue the case until the November term was granted by the court and the matter set down for hearing Nov. 16, that being the first day of the term. Clinton. A man who gives his name as Henry Mueller was arrested yesterday by the Clinton police on the charge of shop lifting. The man visited several prom inent jewelry stores in Clinton, and his peculiar actions caused a suspicion that led to his arrest. He was taken to the Central police station, and when searched by the police they found many valuable pieces of jewelry In his possession. Among them was a solid gold watch, stolen from a jeweler in Dixon. After toeing questioned _the man acknowledged his guilt. The watch is valued at about $70. Sioux City. Rev. Roy D. Echlin, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church of Sioux City, has been called to the pastorate of the Lake Side, la., Presbyterian church at the Storm Lake conference. Rev. Echlin has not yet received of ficial notification of his being chosen and of course has not made any decis ion regarding his going. It Is likely that the matter will be presented to the congregation of his charge here as soon as be is officially informed. Rev. Echlin came to Sioux City from San born, la., his first charge In Iowa, eighteen months ago. He 'has been in the ministry five years. He was edu cated in .the Chicago university and different Canadian schools. Ottumwa. While most night blooming cer eus are content to blossom out in their beauty and grandeur but once each year, a large plant of this variety of cactus, the property of the Sisters of the Holy Humility of iMary, last week, took upon itself the privilege of outdoing any former effort in produc ing the beautiful flower, and for the second time during the summer, burst out in Its regal splendor with six blossoms. The plant is now twelve years of age, having been planted as a slip by Mother Joseph. It was brought here 'by a sister from Fort Madison. When about five years old it first bloomed, and has once each year since repeated the task. During the month of June, this year, three blos soms made their appearance during the evening in the presence of the sisters, scholars and friends. The blooming of the plant has always been a feature of the posing days of school and gives the students Of the botany classes a specimen tQ work upon. "il* 2 MARSHAIiLTOW-N, IOWA* TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 1903 his now house on the north side of his lot. It is equally certain that he was determined that the ancient elm, over a hundred years old, which has been a landmark In Des Moines for this time, should not be cut down. There was but one plan of accomplishing both de sires: to build a house with a shaft in it. The house now is practically com pleted. The .finishing will require about three weeks. Then Dr. Field will move into the bungalow and make it his home. The bungalow Is not a cheap one. No expense has been spared to make it beautiful and strong. The tree stands In a chute running up thru the north east corner of the house. From the liv ing room just south of the tree a win dow opens into the shaft which houses the massive trunk. This window per mits the entrance of air but no light, with the exception of the little that comes down the shaft from the hole in the top of the house. Walker says he bought his lot of Field for $1,000 and that the doctor then asked him to buy the smaller lot on which the tree stands for the same price. He refused to pay that sum. When the bungalow is completed Dr. Field will move into it from the brick mansion, 1323 Thirteenth street, which he now occupies, according to a state ment made by him yesterday. The mansion then will be converted into a sanatorium whose head Dr. Field will be. All the plans for the sanatorium have not been completed, but there la every reason to believe that they will be finished and carried out within a short time. The Matter With Iowa. p| (New York Tribune) ^,3 The wealth of the cornfields between the Mississippi and the Missouri riv ers. from Spirit Lake to Keokuk and from Council Bluffs to Dubuque, Is so great that there is no lure In the Alaska sands sparkling with precious metal. When a man in straw hat and overalls can go out before breakfast and pick an ear of corn which is worth $10 he begins to feel a gentle contempt for the average Wall street plunger, and when he has picked eighty others, footing up to a total of $204.50 more, as one son of the Hawkeye state yclept McCulloch Is said to have done, he decides that he can afford to send his sons to tho city to experiment with the bulls and bears which there do congregatek If they feel so inclineiJ. The moral of this seems to be, If there can be any morality connected with the possession of such wealth as these figures Indicate, that the Iowa farmer is to be congratulated on hl3 appreciation of the wisdom of improv ing his farm, his stock and his crops. While the high value to the acre of Iowa crops may to some extent be due to the natural fertility of the soil and other marks of nature's special favor, we can account.for the fact that the state raises the finest corn in the coun try only by taking into consideration the characters the.men who raise the crop. Much of this success is no doubt due to the efforts of the State Agricultural 'College, which has man aged to secure and retain the con fidence of the people it is presumed to serve. Discovered.

A grand military ball will be the closing feature of the Spanish-Ameri can war veterans reunion to be held here during the carnival week. The ball will be held on the night of Sept. i24, that date being the day marked by the carnival program as Spanish American war day. A committee of the Spanish war veterans composed of Fred Vollmer, Louis Lasher and George Martin of Company B, met with the carnival committee of the Commercial club and representatives of the Carni val-Exposition company Friday night, and made arrangements for the ball. The war veterans committee secured permission to use the 'Coliseum for the ball. Perhaps the best feature of the ball will be the music, which will be furnished by two large bands both of a high class. The bands will be the Fifty-fourth Iowa Regimental band, formerly the Fiftieth Iowa, and Oaiien do's lltalian Concert, band of fifty pieces, which is to play here during the exposition. Before the dancing the two bands will give a concert at the Coliseum.

Spccf'il to Times-Republican. Independence, 'Sept. 15.—Word has tieen received here to the effect that C. W. Williams, at one time owner of Rush Park track and a large and valuable stable of fast horses, has sold all his animals and has quit the breeding and race track business for good and all. He says he will never again enter upon the race track ex cept as a spectator. His entire stud at Galesburg. 111., headed by Allerton (2:09 1-4) and Ex pedition (2:15 3-4), two of the famous of living trotting sires, ha~s been sold to Harry E. Hopper of Indianola, la., and he has retired from breeding and harness turf. For twenty years Mr. Williams has been a prominent figure in the trotting world. The cause assigned for this step is Mr. Williams' desire to spend all his time looking after his large interests in the wheat lands of the Canadian northwest. Twenty-five years ago Williams was a totally unknown (to the outside world), young telegraph operator at Independence, Iowa. His side inter est was trotters, and he had an ambi tion, not only to own and train, but to breed them. As his means were scanty his beginning had to be humble. It consisted of the purchase of a couple of mares called Lou and Gussie Wilkes, by Mambrino Boy, (2:26 1-4). that he picked up for a few hundred dollars after they had been weeded out of the big 'breeding stud of the Stouts, at Dubuque. But -he did not do as most men would have done, breed them to a cheap sire and get a couple of cheap colts. Williams, while a strenuous doer, was a wide reader and a deep thinker upon subjects that in terested him, and besides that he was equally ambitious. So he did what caused another big tax in his re sources sent the pair all the way to Kentucky and bred them to two of her fashionable sires. This was the spring of 1835. In 1886 the two mares each produced a Sac City. The August term of the district court for Sac county has adjourned, after completing the work in one of the bus iest terms in several years. Judge Pow ers issued an order committing six children of Mr. and Mrs. James Easte to the Iowa Children's home at Des Moines. They had been a charge to the county, their father not aiding in their support. Many Sac county drug gists were indicted by the grand Jury on charges of Illegal selling of intoxi cating liquors. They are: O. E. Hug lin, E. P. Pottieger, Alvah U. Perkins, Claude E. Perkins and J. A. Engstrom, of Odebolt A. :T. Kusian and F. J. Armantraut, of -Vail Lake J. M. Kelly and A. E. Smith, of Early. Otto Reia and Dan Sexton, of Odebolt, saloon keepers, were also indicted. Davenport. SMotorman Dodge, on a Mt. Ida car, and several other persons, were the victims of a hoax perpetrated out on East Thirteenth street by a gang of boys, who are evidently short on brains and long on devilment. As Dodge was running his car down the grade on East Thirteenth street, east of Grand avenue just after dark he suddenly saw what looked like a boy lying on the car tracks at Arlington and Thir teenth streets. He tried frantically to stop the car before reaching it, but could not and then to his horror he felt the car crunching over the object on the track. Dodge said he was sure he heard a scream as the car struck the object, but if he did it was from some one of the dozen young sav ages who were peering out from behind trees and bushes to see the fun, for an investigation revealed only a hor riby mangled and lifeless dummy. It was a very cleverly made dummy, however, and after being run over still looked enough like a boy to frighten a/ number of passers-by, who saw it lying on the track and thought some One had been run over.

There is a total of 786 cases in all classes for hearing at this term, divided as fol lows: Law, 437, chancery 220, probate 106, criminal 23. The great bulk of the coses filed were presented on Thursday and Friday, when a total of 49 new actions were made a matter of record, eight of them being for di vorce, while almost an equal number were, for damages ranging from $1,000 to $20,000 each. Some of the cases are filed on very slender grounds so far as the petitions disclose and it. is likely several will be settled before coming to trial. The Jury work in sight is considerable and is of such character it would require several judges to complete all of them. It is ft 1 stallion foal. Lou had been bred to William Li., and her colt was named Axteil. Gussie Wilkes had been bred to Jay Bird, and her colt was named Allerton. These two colts proved the two greatest and most valuable trot ting stallions ever bred by any one man in America. It was, moreover, Williams who made them so. Without experience or expert knowledge, he started in to train, drive and race them himself. His training methods, many of which were diametrically opposed to those then most approved, aroused first ridicule, then violent criticism. But to this he deferred not at all, keeping steadily on in his own path, illis success exceeded even what must have been his own rosiest dreams. When that colt was 3 years old he drove Axteil to the world's record for trotting stallions this was over the Terre Haute, Ind., track, in 1889. the time, 2:12—and the next day he sold hiin for $105,000, at the time the world's record price for a race horse.

The imitation was served practically by the same men and in the same place as the real arti cle at the preceding fairs.

(Burlington (Iowa) Hawkeye) As, an educational plant, the library presents the same state of affairs that prevails in the schools. Man, mere man, has been eliminated. If he is tolerated at all, he is assigned the janitor's role. No doubt, the ladies do very well In the libraries. And yet as an educational institution the public library ought to exist to a large measure for the grow ing boys and the young men. And for them there ought to be men In charge of the library. Not mere book worms, but virile, red-blooded, manly men, who have been permitted the dust of the folios to dim their eyes and to deaden their hearts, but who could en ter into the feelings and gauge the hopes and aspirations of the boys and the young men and make them get the very best out of the library and to de rive the greatest possible benefit from that. The librarian wo could interest the young men and the boys would be the most useful citizen in the commun ity and ought to be paid a 'handsome salary. probable there are few counties of equal population in the state where there are more cases 'filed than In Blackhawk.

Not Drop of Liqour Sold on Inter state Grounds. •Sioux City, Sept. 15.—Despite the contention of those who believe that no festival can be brought to a proper end without liquors, the sixth annual Inter state fair, the most all around success ful exposition in the history of the In stitution, closes this evening for the first time without a drop of intoxicat ing liquor being sold upon the grounds. In previous years beer has been sold under the grandstand, and when the fair officials announced this year that no beer would be sold on the grounds, many declared that the absence of this feature would deduct from the success fulness of the exposition. The fact that the biggest and best .fair has been beerless disproves this declaration. 1 The alertness of .Mr. Fred Haire of the Hennebry Clothing Company pre vented a loss of merchandise to tho fake check shover who made victims of several Fort Dodge merchants. On Wednesday the stranger who did the smooth work bought clothing at Hen nebry's to .the amount of $25, asking for delivery to the hotel. Mr. Haire delivered it himself in the evening so as io collect for same. The stranger offered, him a check for the amount drawn on the Commercial Bank of Fort Dodge. He stated he had just moved 'here from Des Moines to sel'. goods in this territory for the Douglas Shoe Company. Half convinced, Mr. Haire took the check but met cashier Campbell of the bank and found out that no such account was in that in stitution. He promptly went back and got the coat.

Z7*' Special to Times-Republican. Ames, Sept. 15.—The Iowa state col lege is losing many of Its best profes sors this year. While every effort Is be ing made to secure just as good men to take their places, still it is with feelings of sincere regret that the stu dents witness the departure of men whom they have known and with whom they have worked for years. Following the resignations of Professors McKay and McNeil comes the announcement that Professor McLean will leave shortly to take up work in the animal* husbandry department at the Missls-f sippi agricultural college. Professor McLean is a native of On tario, and has all a Canadian's love for fine stock. He graduated from the Mc Master University at Toronto, In 1902, after which he was a member of the instructing force at the Ontario agri cultural college at Guelph for two years. In 1904 he came to Ames, and, secured his B. S. A. degree from this Institution in 1905. He was immediately offered a position in the animal hus bandry department at the Colorado agr-r ricultural college, which he filled for a year. At the end of that time he re turned to Ames, to fill -the position of. assistant professor of animal husban-. dry. Since that time he has.been en gaged in the work here, and has been, one of the most popular instructors in the agricultural department. The On tario college at Guelph has tried at' various times to secure him, but waa unable to pay a sufficient salary. Pro feasor McLean .goes to a land of op portunity for the animal husbandry: man, and will undoubtedly play an Important .part in the live stock and agricultural awakening-of the south.

Sometime ago Wilkinson Son, expert accountants, after an examln ation of the city books, reported a 1 4 shortage of $3,597.49 In Mr. Gray's ac counts. Mr. Gray's attorneys, Penlck andt Anderson, with another expert accountant, Mr. Worthington, of Des Moines, went over the books and sub mitted a report to the special commit tee of the city council, in whloh they accounted for the apparent shortage. The report of the special committee1 has been adopted by .the city council, which amounts to a declaration that Mr. Gray Is not indebted to the city. Mr. Gray had been indicted on the charge of embezzlement, and this ac tion or* the part of the city council will undoubtedly have great weight In the trial at the coming term of court this month Davenport.

The cistern is located on the back porch, and In entering the house it Is necessary to cross it. The boards, while solid on top, had rotted away on the under side, and were very weak. The result was that when Mrs. Kirdc stepped up on them they gave away suddenly, and If she had not thrown her hands up suddenly and caught hold of the alll as she fell, she would bare been plunged into a large depth of water, from which it would bave been very difficult to save her.
