Foraker has effaced himself from the political map of Ohio and em ployed an open letter to William H. Taft, withdrawing from participation In the biennial convention of the Na tional League of Republican clubs, as means of committing political harl karl. In the letter' he declares himself still loyal to Taft, but undesirous of em barrassing the presidential candidate "with his presence. That this is tanta mount to Foraker's withdrawal from public life is generally accepted. Foraker's withdrawal, addressed to Judge Taft, reads: Having read In the newspapers that some of your friends and possibly you are In doubt as to the-propriety of my speaking with you at Music hail next •Tuesday night, I have concluded not to attend the meeting. I take this ac tion, not because I deem the answer I haVe made to Mr. Hearst's charges Insufficient, or because of any lack of loyalty to your cause, but only because I don't wish to do anything that might embarrass you personally. That all of Foraker's republican speaking dates will be cancelled is ac cepted as a fact here. After despatching his letter to Judge Taft, Senator Foraker sent a copy of It to John Hayes Hammond, president of the League of Republican clubs. 3 m:- POLITICAL DEMISE FORESEEN Hearst Renews Charges Against Gov /ernor Haskell of Oklahoma and Springs Now Ones Against Senator Bailey Haskell Calls Hearst a I i.iar. :f- Tours very truly JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER.

'^Weirst Cannes Them in a. .New Oil Conspiracy Memphis, Tenn., Sept 21.—William R. Hearst hurled another political ibomb when in a speech here he read letters alleged to have passed be tween J. D. Archbold of the Standard Oil company and Congressman Joseph C. Sibley, chairman of the committee on manufactures lh the house In which the name of "Mr. B., a democratic sen ator," was given as a big man who •was ready to make a fight in the sen ate for the corporations and against the corporation policy" of President Roosevelt and Secretary Garfield. Mr. Hearst declared he could not but b lleve that "Mr. IB." was Senator Bailey of Texas, and then he read a letter from Archbold to Sibley asking the •latter to (have Senator Bailey call at 26 Broadway. Mr. Hearst also read records to ehoyr that Governor Haskell of Okla hon.a had had dissolved an Injunction to" restrain the Prairie Oil company, an alleged Standard subsidiary, from laying pipe lines In Oklahoma. Sure It Was C. N. Haskell. Mr. Hearst eafd In part: "In the last, few days I haVe read fronl records, from sworn affidavits and from .signed letters, evidence re veallng the extent to which leading representatives of both of the old parties have been the servile tools of corporations. I have shown how the democratic party altered, its platform to suit the Standard Oil and made Mr. Haskell, who was an agent of the Standard Oil, the chairman of their corrw^Htee on platform. I have read the mplaint of Attorney General Mono tt of Ohio, filed In court, in which {Monnett seys fhat C. N. Haskell was one of those ooncerned in an attempt to "bribe him to discontinue actions against the Standard Oil. I have read signed letters from Standard Oil head-, quarters showing Mr. Foraker, while United States senator, was in the pay _ot the Standard Oil. "Tonight I am going to deal with the evasions and the denials of all the partis concerned. "Mr. Haskell asserts that General Monnett's disclosure must refer to jome other Haskell with different ini tials. He apparently thinks that some such Initials as D. F. Haskell or N. G. Haskell, or C. O. I. Haskell, would bo more appropriate. iVir. iMonnett, how ever, in an affidavit made on the 5. -twelfth day of IhSs month, in this year, adheres to the name of C. N. Haskell, and Mr,.(Bennett, the present assistant to the present attorney-general of Ohio, repeats the charge of Mr. Mon nett and i« his affidavit, made this month, accuses nocther Haskell but .C. N. Haskell. New Charg^Ajainst Haskell. "Here are other court records of another case iri' -whteh th* sa»«» C. X. jftasketl As governor of Oklahoma has bee|ti tnore successfully of service to the- Standard Oil. "A ^ub company of the Standard Oil company known as the Prairie Oil Qa^,' Sgompany was riding rough shod ov^pithe laws of Oklahoma. The at torney-general of Oklahoma was before the courts and secured an injunction to prevent this branch of the Standard OH company from tearing up the public highways without right of eminent do main. The attorney general secured an injunction against the Prairie OH Gas company. Governor C. vN. Has kell, who was out of the state, tele graphed the attorney general not to proceed against the oil company. "When Governor Haskell came back to the state he refused to allow.' the case against the oil company to be tried on its merits. He secured pri vate attorneys and went into a higher court and asked to have the injunction dissolved, not on the ground that the attorney general was wrong in his pro •cedure,\ but on the ground that the attorney general, being an officer of the administration, had no right to proceed against the wish of the gov ernor. vSil1 Oil- Company Goes Ahead.'**""' "Governor Haskell won ton that technicality, and, the wishes of the governor being emphatically not to In terfere with the Standard Oil company, the Prairie Oil Gas company was allowed to proceed with it. Its action regardless of the laws and without trial on its merits. I read from the court records." Mr. Hearst then read the court rec ord of a petition by Attorney General West asking an injunction to restrain the Prairie company from tearing up roads and building a pipe line. The record also showed the' injunction was granted. He also read the record of proceed ings in the Oklahoma courts showing how Governor Haskell had gone into court and had had the Injunction dis solved for the reasons set forth in Mr. Hearst's speech. CALLS HEARST A LIAR. Governor Haskell Demands a Hearing on Chargss Made. Chicago, Sept. 21.—Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma, last night gave out the following letter, which he said he had telegraphed to William Randolph Hearst: "William R. Hearst, car6 North American, New York city, N. Y. "Sir—You are stating In speech and press, in substance, that during the year 1899, when Attorney General Frank S. Monnett, of Ohio, had sev eral* cases pending in the supreme court of that state against the Stand ard Oil company, that I sought to in fluence him to dismiss those suits. I have said and now repfat, that your statement is absolutely false, and that 1 never had any relations of any kind or character with the Standard Oil compamy^ Our conflicting statements prove nothing. "You, as a newspaper man, may and should desire a reputation for truth fulness I as a public official demand that those who accuse me stand forth and make their proof. You know that a suit against you for civil damages, or a criminal prosecution for libel means long delay and affords your character of journalism a chance to cover your expenses before being called upon to settle. I do not want your money I simply desire to expose you to the pub lic as a false accuser, w'no has distorted public records and manufactured state ments for base political purposes. "For the purpose of forever settling this infamous slander which you are circulating In your newspaper and on the stump, I now propose that a com mittee of five, or any three of them, composed of the editors of the Spring Held, Mass., Republican, the Chicago Journal, the New York World, the In dianapolis News and the St. Louis Re public, toe selected to hear you and me under oath and all of the evidence they may desire, as to the truth or falsity of your charge, at the earliest possible moment, and render their decision to the public in writing. Should this com mittee find your charge sustained 1 shall -withdraw vrom all connection wdth the (present presidential cam paign. Should the verdict be against you, as I know it will, .there need be no other .penalty than the public con tempt due every assa.s^in of character. V!, "C. N.

The Associated Press has caused inquiries to be made in every place that could be expected to supply reliable Information on the subject, and it is declared the campaign is be ing conducted along the lines original ly planned, and that th^-program will continue without alterations. National Chairman Hitchcock arrived In Chicago this morning and met a number of men Identified with the management of the western campaign. Ever since t^e campaign opener^j City's System and Connections Dis Hitchcock has been confronted with complaints that there has not been sufficient activity. These criticisms have been difficult to meet, for the reason, he said, that he could not take the public i.-'to his confidence concern ing all matters being handled at na tional headquarters, It has been Hitchcock's belief that nothing could be accomplished by pouring into the state ammunition di rected at the national campaign when there is a conflict going on in the state over some local issue that entire ly overshadowed national Issues. Prac tically all of Hltchock's advisers agreed it would be the proper policy to settle Aese quarrels before open ing the national campaign, and It so happened It was in the states re garded as doubtful that these conflict* were carried on. There will be plenty of noise in the campaign within an other week to suit everybody, Hitch cock said, today.

Cincinnati, Sept 21—The adjustment of the Foraker situation, the departure of Senator Crane last night for Chica go, the absence of any important po litical callers today leaves Candidate Taft the opportunity, which he de clared he should make the most of, to work further on his speeches for the forthcoming trip.

'"'v r*.pe Iowa's Pure Food Officials Dis cover Fraud in Method of Giving Weight Si- ARRESTS v?fk ARE PROMISED \Food and Dairy Commissioner Prom ises to Prosecute Dealers Guilty of Selling Watered Oysters Curator Harlan Seeking Coppock Family His tory. Special to Times-Republican Des Moines, Sept. 21.—There are tricks ill all trades and one of tho tricks is in the oyster trade, where water i« converted Into oysters at the rate of I!6 per cent of the weight of the oysters every twenty-four hours. Then the oysters are left in so much loose watpr that the customer buys about half oysters and about half water. If you buy oysters that are half wa ter notify the state food and dairy commissioner and he will have the dealer arrested for violating the state law. State food commissioners all over the country are getting busy on the oyster business and the dealer who has been making a fat thing in oysters is in a way to have hard sledding during the coming winter months. The state law says that oysters that have been doc tored tin water or when a large part of the bulk Is water are adulterated which is against the state law. There are really two tricks in one In the oyster business. Food Inspector John Tate of the state commissioner's office went to a Des Moines market a. day or two ago and bought a quart of oyiters. Then this is what happened to those oysters after they got into the hands of Chemist Chittick in the of fie of the state food and dairy com ^loner. First it was found that the ti. _,t: was an ounce and a half short of "being a quart. Then the oysters were «/)oured intor a, seivo And 44 per cent of the quart ran thru the selve leaving but 56 per cent of oysters. Then the chemist department secured a lot of fresh oysters from the whole saler right fresh from the coast. One pint of the oysters, genuine oysters af ter being ,put thru the sieve and all water drained off were put in fresh wa ter and left over night. In the morning they were drained off and weighed and were found to have gained 25 per cent in weight. The tricks in the oyster business are thai: oysters left In water will absorb water very rapidly. So the oysters are shipped in water. The wholesaler drains off what is left and puts in fresh water and ice and the oysters absorb stljl more. Then the dealer again puts in fresh water and ice and they gain still more. It is claimed that all last winter when oysters were sell ing wholesale for $1.40 a gallon they were being retailed at 35 cents a quart. Puzzle: Find the retailer's commission. Answer: Water. The rest of the trick is that the oysters are left in water when sold and besides the water that they have soaked u.p they are float ing around in still more water which is sold to the customer at the same rate per quart as the oysters bring. Many people have been accustomed to buying oysters floating around In water for so many years they have come to consider the water as being pjirt of the oysters, the juice, so to speak, and have been by custom led to believe that this was a necessary part of oysters. State Food and Dairy Commissioner H. R. Wright, who has been making a study of the matter says this Is not so. Now It is proposed to make the oyster dealers ship their oysters packed in ice but with no ice or water coming in contact with the oysters. They must be put in small casks with the ice on the outside of the cask. 'V The Corning Savings bank is to come before the supreme court this Week, on a petition for-rehearing. The supreme court by actual count grants one re hearing in every 400 cases and there­ fore the chances are not large that the case will be reheard. However, the ifact that the point will be finally passed upon is of decided importance to the banking and commercial inter ests of the state of Iowa, makes the petition for a rehearing of considerable importance. The case is that of state of Iowa ex rel B. F. Carroll, auditor, vs. Corn ing State Savings bank ?t al., appel lants. The bank went broke because of one of the officials forging paper. He sold the forged paper with the en dorsement and guarantee of the bank. A considerable part of it was sold to the Iowa. National bank of this city. In the litigation Charles W. Johnston represented the Iowa National and the entire question at issue was whether or 1 not a savings bank could guarantee commercial paper. If It could not then no bank or com mercial agency or individual would ever buy commercial paper of a sav ings bank. The district court and su preme court held that the guarantee of the savings bank was good and that it must make good the forged paper. This makes the claim of the Iowa Na tional a preferred claim. When the su preme court passes on the .peLition for a rehearing if It refuses the rehearing it will settle for all time this important banking legal question. vy. 'Curator Harlan, of the "historical department, Is making an effort to get •j Cr mm filfil facts concerning the Coppocks ft their doing* in Iowa preserved to tory and more especially of tho erals of Edwin Coppock at Wi? and 'Salem, O. It is probable tha considerable article will soon be lisbod in the Annals on the sv Iowa was tho scene of some ot wie early planning on the part of John Brown for the capture of Harper's Ferry. After .the unsuccessful attempt and tho capture of John Brown and Edwin Coppock, at which time Bar clay Coppock escaped, Barclay came to Iowa and stayed at Sprlngdale In Cedar county for a considerable time. Iowa was therefore closely Identified with tho history of the well meaning but ill-timed expedition and for fthat reason there Is every justification for all efforts to preserve the facts to his tory. There are many letters which passed between the Quaker families of Sprlngdale, Iowa, and their rela tives in Salem, O.. which are Inval uable and where the originals cannot be secured copies are being secured for publication and preservation. W..W. Hathaway has been collect ing some of the evidence for Mr, Har lan in 'Salem and seems to have set tled the point that the body of Edwin Coppock was brought by this uncle Joshua Coppock and Thomas Winn to Winona, O., and buried there ibut eight tlays later and because of fear that the grave would be robbed it was disin terred and removed to Salem. Pictures of Edwin and Barclay Cop pock and a photograph of the commis sion given by John Brown to Edwin Coppock as a lieutenant, have 'been se cured by Mr. Harlan for preservation. When the body of Edwin Coppock was disinterred it was determined to get a different coffin for it and this was done. The old coffin was then stored away and has been very care fully and Jealously guarded ever since. It is now in tihe possession of S. V. Richards, who lives on what is called the Goshen road, a little northwest of Salem, where It is kept in the attic. The Intention Is to deposit it in a fire proof vault. The information from Salem is that only by keeping the mat ter secret is Mrs. Richards able to keep a hired girl over night.'.

FOREST FIRE BURN8 TWO TOWNS Gngen and Wood bo ro Destroyed Rhinelander Threatened. Rhinelander, Wis., Sept 21.—Fearini the fate that befell Gagen and Wood-* boro, which were destroyed by forest fires Sunday, the mayor ot Rhineland er last night requested send a fire engine to protect the city. Word has been received that an en gine and' half a mile ot hose and a truck are on the way, on a special train, but It now Is believed they will not be needed as the wind has shift' ed. The fire started in -the woods yes terday morning and quickly reached Gagen and Woodboro. Men, women: and children fought valiantly to save their homes, but without avail. Gagen and Woodboro each had about 2,00fl residents and nearly all are home*, less. Burned out of their homes, the peo« pie began fleeing from the Aire, which grew more dangerous with each min ute. Women carrying children in theft arms and men and boys with picks on their' backs ran toward Rhinelander,. many falling prostrate In the heat, orily to be helped on by the stronger refu.-« gees. Nearly all of those burned out at Gagen reached Rhinelander last night and are being cared- for. But few of the Woodboro people are here and It is not known what has become of all oS them. The fire is a fresh one and not a continuation of the fires which did sof much damage last week. When the blaze started the wind waa •from the west and it was feared Rhine lander, with its homes for 7,000 per sons, was doomed also, but a change in the direction of the wind probably haa saved the., city. The mayor and members of the city counpil. got together when the danger seemed greatest and decided to ask Milwaukee for aid. At that time' It was believed nothing could save Rhine* lander from the fire. The towns of Gagen and Woodboro are on the Soo railway.

Des Moines, Sept 21.—That Iowa's prosperity Is not a mere matter of con jecture .but Is a concrete fact and is 'unprecedented! may 'be en from re ports which come in from the principal cities in all parts of tho state. While the good prices for farm products will place the farmers in a more prosperous condition than they have been for .years, the manufacturing Industries have also profited by the renewed bus iness activity. If there has been a business depression durirg the past years, its vigor was not folt In Iowa, Contrasted with this, the distressing dondltions which existed during the panic oif- 1893 and the four years suc ceeding, afford an impressive political argument for the comln,? campaign. .The prices of farm products have scarcely wavered during the ipast year and are now soaring above the high water mark of many yoars. Fifteen years ago, men -Were .idle from January to December, and those who ware wording receive starvation wages. 'tiomhVpn-'laborers were ^«felving but a dollar a tiiy, and minors received about one-half the wages they do now. But those who Were employed were considered the lucky ones. This con .dition lasted fopr years, burin# the past year, there has boen no reduction of wages. A few men were out of work in the spring, but now there Is ernploymenti for all at wages never equaled in tlie history of the country. If anyone doubts the present, pros perity of Iowa let hiift read the reports from the following cltfySaj of the state: Oskaloosa and MapasJta county felt little effect: of the dapffssion except that 3,000 miners werf piit.'bf employ ment for a .longer term^ jt|ia.n usual during, :"the spring and SUftimer. All are at work no.w, .and ther^ is a press ing' demand for more men. Factories are operating full time, employing more nien than ever, before. Seventy-five new houses are jtfelng built, and five new business blocks. Public improve ments,-.costing several hundred thou sand dollars, including paying and sewers) electric railway and telephone and* pilule buildings, give -employment to all classes of labor. Oskaloosa has $4,000,000 in her' banks. No one is thinking of hard times at Eagle Grove. /Everybody who wants Work Is working at unprecedented wages. The community has enjoyed one of the best business years during the decade. Miles of ga« and Water mains have been laid, many new pub lic and private buildings have been erected Merchants are finding each month's business exceeding the record of any previous year. ToWa City was not visited with any cessation of business activity. Few if any men were laid olt from work, and not one factory closed dowri. A total of 136 new houses were completed within the past year at an eatimatfed cost of WOO,000. About S350.000 has been .spent .on new churches and hos pitals and the state Is about to spend $600,000 for additions to the university. A total of a million and a quarter dol lars- Is beihg spent on improvements. Ottumwa suffered nothing from the depression. No factories were closed, there was no reduction of forces nor any cutting down of wages. In Its big packing house 5,000 men enjoyed steady employment and every other factory and the big railroad shops were running full time. There has been a dearth of laboring men, a fact which assisted In maintaining the rate of Wages. Street paving -Was laid, Costing $75,000, and an Immense trunk system of1 sewerS was completed. Every hian, for whom room can be found to work is being employed in the big Implement, furniture and engine factories of Charles City. Many men from out of the city have come here for work and have been employed. Charles City never knew there was a panic. The banks did business uninter rupted and have now on deposit $2, 200,000. Neighboring towns report the same prosperous conditions. Nashua has a good trade and business is brisk. The same is true of Osage and New Hampton and Greene in Butler coun ty is in better shape than, it has befen for years. There was no suspension of business in Clinton. More miles of cement side walk were laid so far this year than during any three-year period previous ly. The Northwestern road is just com pletlng "a- $2,000,000 bridge across the Mississippi and has plans for a new depot freight house, freight termlhals and additional shops. A complete new sewer system has been laid, nearly every factory has enlarged Its plant, employing additional men and no one Is out of work. There are fewer houses to rent, and more money In circulation than at any time since the famous saw mill days. Five new churches are be ing erected. The button Industry of Muscatine was somewhat effected by the depres sion but has once more struck an ab normally prosperous stride. Fourteen of these factories are running to full capacity In every department. Every other factory In Muscatine Is running to the full e.xteut^pf Its capacity. One of the liig banks of the city has In creased its capital stock three-fold and will build a handsome new office building. A new court house and a new federal building are being built, mak ing nearly a million dollars being ex pended for improvements. No one Is idlfe. .•Carroll and its neighboring towns re port rib indication of hard times. La borers and mechanics are employed at good vages and farmers are busv fig uring up their unprecedented profits. Tho merchants are preparing for an enormous fall trade. Anatnosa reports no disturbance Qf business conditions. Everything is pro ceeding as before with fine prospects for plenty of business for the fall and wlhter. To realize that Mason City has no time for a discussion of hard times one need but look out of the car window as his train pulls into town and see the throngs of men busy in the famous Mason City brick and tile factorlos and tho cement factory. And on the streets the same activity is evident. Merchants are enjoying an exceptional trade artd will stop only long enough to tell one how busy thay are. Des Alolnes was never more prosper ous. Every factory is running full time and many overtlm# One furni ture factory bought a ton of tacks dur ing the past year to fasten tags 011 Its shipments. Another spends $100 a day for postage. Scarcely any of the fac tories were closed down last fall or winter. New industries are springing up and the jobnlng and retail busi ness has been better than during any previous two years In the city's his tory. The highest skyscraper in the state was completed this year at Des Moines, eleven stories, and several other large office buildings are being erected. Cedar Rapids continued to build ho tels, office buildings, .private resi dences and factories continuously dur ing the past year, and Is planning Im provements for next year unprece dented. Dubuque reports no setback to the immense lead mining industry of Its vicinity and is forging ahead with pub lic and private Improvements costing nearly a million dollars. Iowa (fails has no indication of a de pression to report. Every Industry is in full operation. Everybody is busy and happy and" crops In the vicinity are in fine shape. Davenport is enjoying a wonderful era of prosperity after slight depres sion during the so-called panic. Dur ing the early part of the year the glu cose wnrks employing about 600 men was closed down for a few months It is now In full operation with 700 men. Street paving, costing several hundred thousands of dollars Is being completed. An immense new wagon factory occupying nearly a full block is being built. Tho Bettendorf Axle company which has an order for 2,500 steel under-frames for railroad cars, has contracted for a new foundry cost ing a third of a million. The big Silvia shops of the Rock Island road are run ning full time. The water, light and street railway companies are spending •about a million dollars on Improve ments. A new six-story office build ing in the heart of the business dis trict is being erected, and three inter urban companies connecting the com munity with the' richest territory in the vicinity, are ready for construction work. Had it not been for newspaper re ports, Ames would not have known that a business depression existed. The bank deposits Increased twenty per cent. Immense public and private im provements have been made, blghty-' three new houses were constructed. Factories Increased their number of employes. The attendance at the Iowa State College Increased fifteen per cent. Agricultural Implement men re port the greatest year in their busi ness lives. If there was any real panic it was not felt at Atlantic or in the surround ing country. The farmers of the vicin ity, the largest depositors in the banks4 are coming to town in their automobiles spending money freely, and living bet ter than they ever have before. Bus iness among the merchants Is good andN everyone Is satisfied to allow the present conditions to continue. The Albia and Munroe county* an swer to the query of business condl-, tlons is an array of fact.s and figures that leave no doubt but that the fight ing Sixth district will be in line for a continuation of prosperity. In the face of the so-called panic Albia merchants, having pledged $2.5,000 for an interur ban to Hocking, paid every, cent of the amount and then proceeded to raise $40,000 more for an extension of the line in another direction six miles to Hiteman. Now the merchants of the town have $120,000 tied up in interur bans, every, cent of Which will 'be paid up before election day. New coal mines are being developed in all di rections and the companies interested and the railroads carrying the product tdl market are spending several hun dreds of thousands of dollars on the Improvements. Everyone has employ ment. There is not and has not been an idle laboring .man in Centerville. Only one factory closed down during the depres sion and that was merely to make im provements and extensions. There is^ not a coal miner of Appanoose county out of work. More residences Were built this year than during .any three previous years of the city's history. No less than twenty residences costing ov er $5,000 have been erected and scores of others costing from $500 to $.2,000. Marshalltown Is enjoying one of the best periods of commercial activity -In her history. Railroad reports show larger shipments than in, previous years, new public and private build ings are being erected and the city has been making many improvements in Its streets. Factories are running full time and .prosperous conditions prevail thruout the surrounding country. Arrested for Wife Desertion.

Special to Ttmea-Republlcan. Fort Dodge, Sept. 21.—"The present protracted hot spell is undoubtedly caused by the forest fires in Minneso ta, Wisconsin and Michigan," said F. Monk tjiis morning, in speaking of the unUsual high temperatures of tho past three weeks. "And as surely as we now have that hot spell, wo will have an unusually cool one as soon as the high mountains of air above thoso states starts to regain a level again." Mr. Monk has made a study of con ditions, perhaps more than any one else in the city. Ho is looked upon by thoso who know him Intimately as authority so far as weather conditions are concerned. The fact that he has studied local conditions for a number of years would make It safe to re peat his theories of the protracted heated spell. According*to Mr. Monk the air in the vicinity of immonse forest fires of tho north has expanded with the heat and becoming lighter it has ascended to a great distance from the earth. The air ascending has caused a steady inrush of air from the surrounding areas, and they in turn have been re plenished by currents coming from more remote vicinities. This theory Is substantiated by the fact that since the start of the fires to the north of Iowa there has been a steady inflow of air from the south, bringing to the state the temperatures of the south. And the meantime the large quan tity of air which has been steadily flowing northward attracted by tho fires has been rearing itself into im mense mountains of atmosphere and floating over the burning acres. The heat keeps it suspended, and keeps the cooler currents, in the vicinity of the fires. When conditions have become nor mal, or nearly so again that immense quantity of air must descend to the earth and regain a level. Then there will be a corresponding flow of air away from the fire districts, to the north, east, south and west, and Iowa will experienece an abnormally cool period, getting the benefit of the cool temperatures of the north. When the atmosphere has {regained a level upon the surface of ..the earth, normal con ditions may be looked for. FROM $10,000 TO $S0O: Claim Against the George Wells Es tate, Cut Down. ,v Special to Times-Republican? Grundy Center, Sept. 21.—Shaving a $10,000 bill down to $500, shows the effective "shaving" 'business that the administrators of the George Wells' estate are doing. The above claim waB filed against the estate of the late Grundy county millionaire, by Dr. Hed dens, of Wellsburg, who claimed that $10,000 was due-him for medical serv ices rendered the late Mr. Wells. The claim hung fire for over a'year, and was finally adjusted for $500. H. D. Riant, a blacksmtth at Wellsburg, had a claim against the estate for $1,500, and this has been cut down to $500, but has not been ordered paid. An other big claim that will probably get Into the courts, is that of John Cea, of Grundy Center, who seeks to re cover $8,000. He claims that the mat ter started With the failure of the Schuler bank. It seems he came into possession of some of the stock in the institution, and was induced to sur render it on the promise of the late Mr. Wells to pay him for it. He claims he once threatened suit during Wells' lifetime, but that the latter asked him not to crowd the action, promising that the matter would be taken care of by the Wells' administrators. Cea claims to have witnesses to this oral agreement of the decedent. TRAVELING S, S. AGENT. SfeSiF 11 1 0 Iowa Falls Episcopal Rector Takes Up Work in Minnesota. .Special to Times-Republican.

DEFICIT AT HAMPTON. Agricultural Society in Debt to Amount of Over $1,500. Special to Times-Republican. Hampton, Sept. 21.—Officials of the agricultural society, and others inter ested in the business affairs of the or ganization, held a meeting here Sat urday afternoon. The society is said to be in debt for ^n amount somewhat more than $1,500 in the aggregate. Much'of this amount has probably been accumulating in previous years, but soine of may be charged up to the account, of the present season. The management realized before the last fair was held, that they were 1U able to face a deficit, and the solution they made of the problem was. to raise the admission fee from 35 cents to 50 cpnts. Admission to the graJid stand was also raised, It is said, to 25 cents. As a result, there was a marked falling off In the number of admissions to the grounds. At the meeting Saturday It was thought best to ask for a report of the finances of the past year,, and an ad- Journment of one week was takeW, to dnab the officials to prepare it. The sopiety has made substantial Improve ments to tho buildings and grounds during the past few years, and the races of the last exhibition were the best and most numerous for many years. There was a falling off how ever, in the number of exhibits, due largely to the too. early date for the fair, and perhaps to some degree in the too stringent requirements of exhibi tors. It is said that circumstances are such as to make It uncertain whether tho state appropriation to agricultural so cieties is available, or not. A number of claims against the society that were Incurred in preparation for the exhibit of the present year, are yet unpaid, some of them for considerable amounts. S. H. WELDEN HONORED.

W. Beecher, mas ter mechanic at the plant, lit in a pile of crushed rocM and suffered terrible cuts and bruises about the face, and over his body generally. Beecher jumped from the arm of the big machine to avoid a horrible death. One of the monster chains which holds the great shovel in place, snapped In two while he occupied the precarious position out on the arm of the huge machine. As he jumped, the end of the chain struck him on the chest, but had he not thrown himself out of the way, he would have caught the full force of the writhing chain about the neck.' Jumping In haste, he rather fell than otherwise, and could not tell how or where he would strike terra firma. Unfortunately he struck on the pile of crushed rock, with his face, arms and knees receiving the brunt of the fall. He was unconscious when the men went to pick him from the heap of rock, and remained in a semi-consci ous condition for several hours. GAIN IN ENROLLMENT. Dr. E. A.

The club will join various national organizations, both republican. and democratic, and will arrange to have speakers from all of the national par ties In attendance at various times during the fall. Republican rallies and democratic rallies will be a feature and as the enthusiasm increases, which it is sure to do as. election approaches, the supporters of the republican plat form, the champions of the peerless Bryan, and the advocates of prohibition will be given a chance to stand up for their party's policies on the debating platform. Mr. E. G. Binehart is engineering the project, and if enthusiasm counts for anything, it will not be long ere the old campus will be ringing with the slogan of the republicans and the an swering battle cry of the Bryanltes. UNDER $800 BONDS EACH. Logan Prisoners Identified by Mrs. Hunt, Who Was Robbed and Others. Special to Times-Republican. Logan, Sept. 21.—Albert Smith and J. G. Kirk, who were arrested by Sher iff Rock And his deputy^ for the al leged offense of robbing Mrs. Hunt's farmhouse Wednesday afternoon, were given a hearing, and their bonds placed at $800 each. Mrs. Hunt was positive in her identification of the two men. Sheriff Rock's exciting chase and capture of the two men, is proving a more valuable capture than was at first supposed, as may be judged from the further identification of the men by the mayor and four farmers from Hamburg here Sunday afternoon. The Hamburg people allege that these two men, who claim to be Omaha opticians, are wanted in Fremont county for sim ilar offenses to the one committed here. Warrants were left for their arrest and detention until an officer can reach Logan frpm Fremont county, in the event bonds to the amount of $800 are secured. Peter Nelson, who shot and wound ed Charles Gilllspie, wa^ also given a hearing, and his bonds were fixed at $1,000. GLAD TO STAY IN JAIL. Case of H. G. Williams, Mason City, is Unusual One. Special to Times-Republican. Mason City, Sept. 21—A man who wants to stay in jail is surely abnor mal, and such is the case of H. G. Williams, who ran away with over $30 of the funds of the Chicago Great Western railway, a week ago. Detec tive Clary, of the Great Western, asked that ho might be given time to inves tigate the man's antecedents, and therefore a postponement of his hear ing. Williams gladly acquiesced, and stated that he would be glad to stay in jail for even three or four months for he believed that in that way he could break the whisky and morphine habit, which now has him.'in its grasp, and to which' he attributes his recent fall from grace.

JEhm Bed* 18# North Contoi* li Political Contest Being Wagerl in Both East and West by Both Parties BRYAN' IS RAINBOW-CHASING i- 2 I S 1 Claims Many States Where He Has No Chance Whatever of Winning—Dem ocrats Making Much Noise and Re publicans Are Kept Busy Counter acting Effect. i. (Special Correspondence) (New York, Sept. 21.—'There Is In creasing difficulty in telling where the big (fight is centered tihif year or perhaps better, in determining where it is not. Chairman Hitchcock in his latest statement gave assurance that the republicans are not: concerned about the east yet less than twenty fours hours prior to the announcement it was learned oh unquestionable au thority tohat the chairman himself is to remain most of the time in iNew York hereafter, looking after condl tions in the east, and that a subcom mittee of the national committee will have general charge at the west, work ing from Chicago. The democrats say the fight is everywhere and the republicans are certainly getting ready for it pretty much everywhere. Mr. Bryan told a group of Pennsyl vania leaders with whom he dined the other day, that he was going to he elected, whether he received a vote east of the Alleghenles or not hut he added that he was especially anxious, now that he Is certain to win, that his victory should not be sectional. He doesn't iwant ihls administration to stand for west and south against the east, and therefore he bagged, in order that it might -be the more successful, that every effort be made to carry the east and make it unanimous. jpj§» Bryan Rainbow Chasing?** 5 All this sounds like rainbow chas ing, and it is. Mr. Bryan .believes It all exactly as in 1-896 he believed that it had toeen revealed to him that he was to be elected. He is back to the old-time confidence, tin 1900 he made ihis race as matter of duty. He did not have the expectation of winning in 1896,- hut it was hi3 duty to run, and be did. With the glamour of fight ing a successful foreign war still fresh about him, MoKinleywas sure of elec tion, and it seemed like an invitation to destruction for -Bryan to run again in that year. But ho did it, main tained his hold oti the radicals of his party, and was proved by the election of 1900 to be vastly stronger than any conservative. iNow, with a reunited party and with ,n vogue, he is positively cocky in his confidence. The publication -Of ittufBtasteitfenfethat Bryan will place George Gray in the seat of "Ohief Justice JTull'r, If he has to make an appointnent, caused a good deal of sensation. It was not pleasing to mafty radical democrats tout it was vastly less pleasing to re publicans, who recognized that it de prived them of the argument that If elected IBrvan would pack the supreme court with radicals. 'Che frankest ex pressions of disgust were indulged by republicans connected with the cam paign management, 'when they were told that the statement had been-au thorized. They wer.3 expecting this argument about packing the cpurt woUld be one of their strongest cards in the east, and nobody among them appears to have dreamed of the pos sibility of Mr. Bryan suddenly elimin ating it from ittie cimpaigri ih such fashion. Bryan's Best Coup. The democratic managers look upon this as the greatest coup of their cam paign to date. The detailed story of how it was brought about is, not yet for the public. Indeed,! the man who gave it out observed that there might be formal denials, bs^ed on the assur-, ance that Mr. Bryan has made no promises but he added that no atten tion need be paid to denials the thing would come around! in due time and everybody would know it was correct. The explanation was volunteered that Chief Justice Fuller has been willing and anxious to get oft the bench, for three or four years, but was unwilling to leave the vacancy for Mr. Roosevelt .to All. So be had held on, and now was hoping there was -chance for a democrat and a conservative to be giv en the place. The Gray understanding •is.alleged to be basf. on this state of facts. Democrats Making Most Noise.g?| if the democrats have produced more red fire and riolse tr»an the republicans thus far, the latter have not been wast ing'time. The foundations have been laid, and Mr.' Hitchcock gives assur ance that they are'ready for the struc ture. There will be plenty of oratory before many days. Everything else will'be subordinated to the Taft tour, which will be the big central feature of trie campaign. The interest in it may -be Judged by. the, fact that while only a few newspapers, aside from the prey's associations, have their own men accompanying Bryan, the applications for permits for correspondents to go with Taft are ,so numerous that it looks as if this would prove a great embarrassment. The suggestion of sending several ars with the Taft special has been seriously considered, as the only way to accommodate the press. The advertising managers of the campaign went to accommodate the press in every way possible. They think photographs constitute about the best demonstration of the size and en thusiasm of crowds, and want to care fo?,as many picture-makers as possi ble. They are assured of crowds which will demonstrate this much if only the pictures of .hem can be placed before the public: and they have the It wilt no- doubt- interest our readers to know .that Blackburn's Castor-Oil-Pills now havs a new, distinctive coined name—Black burn's CascaRoyal-Pills. huge advantage of a much greater ar ray of newspaper support. In regard to newspaper support, however, the democrats are greatly pleased. They say the newspapers have never been so flair to Bryan as this year. Where Republicans Excel. When the campaign gets fairly under way and speaking is started with the big orators on the road, the republic ans will have rather the better of it simply because they have more men whose names have boen advertised and whom the public wants to know and see. Curiosity is an immense factor. The man who has been advertised gets the crowds and the men who have been in offioe—largely republicans In latter years—are of course best known. After Taft, the headliners will Include such men as Beveridge, who is in tre mendous demand everywhere Borah, of Idaho, who made an Immense hit by his campaign in New England and Is regarded by the national committee as second to no other attraction it is now oftering Dolllver, who will probably make the swing with Taft to "spell" him and lighten the work Lodge, Seth Low, Governor Hughes, Governor Cum mins, Senators Burkett and Brown, of Nebraska, and so on thru the list. The members of the house will do much work, but so many of them havevhard fights in their districts that not so much can be expected of them as from a like number of democratic congress men, most of whom have compara tively easy assurance of re-election. Former Secretary Shaw is In consid erable demand outside of his own state. In Iowa he isn't much wanted, because ho represents one side of the sharp factional fight there, and the other, It is feared, would not tako kindly to In vasion by him. Thl^oase of Socretnry Shaw is typ ical. Most of '.he big speakers look bigger and better outside of their home states than inside. Under ordi nary conditions, they are more effect ive away from home. But this year thlB Is more generally true than formerly, because of the factional fights in so many states. The big man who repre sents a faction is not exactly available yhen the Inter-party feud has become bitter. So it is better to send him away from home, and to iput outsiders of. na tional repute into his state.\ S*1-'* !P0,k0 Oogs Kill Panthers.^ (Bombay Gazette) A very unusual and interesting sight was witnessed here (Bhavnagar) this morning. Specially trained dogs of the Mahar aja Saheb were let loose on two full grown panthers. About 8,000 people had assembled on the Maiden to see this long-looked-for event It was an exciting' spectacle to see the wild brutes killed by the puny terrier. His highness, with the Maharani Saheb, wa$ early on the scene, and Wis highness' coming was a signal to com mence this unequal fight. When the cages of the panthers were opened they slowly crouched out, and finding themselves hemmed In by such a large mass of people, they at first pretended to slink away back into their cages, but in reality they wanted to pounce upon the spectators. These tactics of theirs were anticipated by the dogs, and they did not Klve the panthers time to carry out their inten tion but at once attacked^ them in a body, and the panthers were over whelmed and killed. The panthers were from the Hy derabad Jungles and the dogs were pre viously given some sort of snuff that deadened their scent. 'A Pointer on Pump*. "With their evening clothes this win ter," said a bootmaker, "men will wear pumps, invariably. The small and simple pump is the most difficult of all Bhoes to fit. "A pumjj should be so cut that it is very tight in the back—that, as it grows old, instead of loosening in the back, it becomes still tighter. Other wise a horror hapn^^s the trousers catch In the back^lPthe pump. "How many men we see with their trousers caught In this manner. It is a hideous sight.

The average novelist, it is well known, th'inks little of the average playwright, and the playwright thinks less, if possible, of 'the novelist. At the Players' club in New York they say that Clyde Fitch, at a dinner sat opposite a popular novelist. The novelist criticized the American play, he seemed to think very little of it. Finally, yawning, he said: "When I am played out as a novel ist, I intend to write for the stage.

"And I knew as much about M. Chauvenet as I did about you or as I do about you." "What you know of him, Mr. Clai borne, is of no consequence. And what you don't know about me would fill a large volume. How did you get here, and what do you propose doing now that you are here? I am in a hurry and have no time to waste. If I can't get anything satisfactory out of you within two minutes I'm going to chuck you back into tbe sack." "I came up here in the hills to look for you—you—you! Do you under stand?" began Claiborne angrily. "And as I was riding along tbe road about two miles from here I ran Into three men on horseback. When I stopped to parley with them and find out what they were doing they crept up on me and grabbed my horse and put that sack over my head. They had mistak en me for you, and they brought me here, into your house, and pulled the sack off and were decidedly disagreea ble at finding they bad made a mis take. One of them had gone in to ran sack your effects, and when they pull ed off the bag and disclosed tbe wrong hare he dropped bis loot on the floor, and then 1 told them to go to the devil, and I hope they've done It When you came in I was picking up your traps, and I submit that the sword ht handsome enough to challenge any body's eye.

Claiborne sboathed tbe sword, placed It on tbe table and folded his arras.i "Yea they ore very .Interesting." "And those ribbons and that cloak I assure you they are of excellent qual ity. Oscar, put a blanket on this gen tleman's horse. Then make some cof fee and wait." As Oscar closcd tbe door Armltage crossed to tbe table, flung down his gauntlets and bat and turned to Clal* borne. "1 didnt expect this of you. I really didn't expect it Now that you have found me, what do you want?" "I don't know—I'll be banged'if 1 know!" And Claiborne grinned so that the grotesque Hues of his soiled coun tenance roused Armltage's slumbering wrath. rV "You'd better find out! This Is my busy night, and if you can't explain yourself I'm going to tie you hand and foot and drop you down the well till I finish my work. Speak up! What are you doing on my grounds. In my house, at tbis hour of tbe night, prying Into my affairs and rummaging in my trunks?" "I didn't come here, Armitage. I was brought—with a potato Back over my head. There's the sqck on the floor, and any of its dirt that isn't on my face must be permanently settled in my lungs." "What are you doing up here In the mountains? Why are you not at your station? The potato sack story is pret ty flimsy. Do better than that and hurry up!" "Armitag^"—as he spoke Claiborne walked to tbe table and rested his-fin ger tips on It—"Armitage, you and 1 bnve made some mistakes during our short acquaintance. I will tell you frankly that I have blown hot and cold about you as I never did before with another man in my life. On tbe ship coming over and when 1 niet you in Washington I thought well of you. Then your- cigarette case shook ,,jny confidence in you there at the Army and Navy club that night, and now"— "D— my cigarette case!" bellowed Armitage, clapping his hand to his pocket to make sure of it. "That's what I sny! But It was a disagreeable situation.. ^Vou must ad mit thnt" "It was indeed!" "It requires some nerve for a man to tell a circumstantial story like that to a tableful of gentlemen about one of tbe gentlemen!" "No doubt of It whatever, Mr. Clai bo.-ne." Their eyes were fixed upon each oth er in a gaze of anger and resentment Suddenly Armltage's tense figure re laxed, the fierce light in his eyes gave way to a gleam of humor, and he laughed long and loud. "Your facp—your face, Claiborne. It's funny. It's too funny for any use. When your teeth show, it's something ghastly. For God's sake, go In there and wash your face!" He made a light in his own room and plied Claiborne with towels, while he continued to break forth occasionally In fresh bursts of laughter. When fhey went into the hall both men were grave. "Claiborne"— Armitage put out his hand, and Clai borne took it in a vigorous clasp. "You don't know who I am or what 1 am, and I haven't got time to tell you now. It's a long story, and I have much to do, but I swear to you, Clai borne, that my hands are clean that the game I am playlBg is no affair of my owjo, hot A_ fcjf thing that UbM£. pledged myself to catry through. I want you to ride down there in the valley and keep Marhof quiet for a few bonrs.

Is it bargain—or—must I still hang your bead down the well till 1 get through "Marhof may go to the devil! He's lot more mysterious than even you. Armitage. These fellows that brought me up here to kill me in tbe belief thn-i I was you cannot be friends of Mar hof's cause." "Tlaey are not I assure you they are not They are blackguards of the black est dye." "I believe you, Armitnge." "Thank you. Now your horse is lit the door. Run along like a good fei low." Armitage dived into his room, caufflit up a cartridge belt and reappeared buckling It on. "Oscar," be yelled, "bring in that coffee, with cups for two." He kicked off his boots and drew on light shoes and leggings. "Light marching orders for the rough places. Confound that buckle." He rose and stamped his feet to set tle the shoes. "Your horse Is at the door. That ras cal Osca{ will take off the blanket for you. There's a bottle of fair whisky in tbe cupboard. If you'd like a nip before starting. Bless me, I forgot the coffee! There on the table, Oscar, and never mind tbe chairs," he added as Oscar came in with a tin pot and the cups on a piece of pldnk. "i'rf taking the rifle. Oscar, and be sure those revolvers are loaded with tbe real goods." There was a great color in Arml tage's face as be strode about prepar ing to leave. His eyes danced with ex citement, and between the sentences that he Jerked out half to himself be whistled a few bars from a comic opera that was making a record run on Broadway. His steps rang out vigor ously from tbe bare pine floor. "Watch the windows. Oscar. You may forgive a general anything but surprise. Isn't that so, Claiborne? And those fellows must be pretty mad by this time. Excuse the cof?je serv ice, Claiborne. We always pour the sugar from the paper bag—original package, you understand. And see if you can't find Captain Glaiborue a hat, Oscar." With a tin cup of steaming coffee in his band he sat on the table dangling his legs, bis hat on the back of bis head, the cartridge belt strapped about his waist over a bjpwn corduroy bunt lng coat. He was in a high mood and chaffed Oscar as to the probability of their breakfasting another morning "If we die, Oscar, it shall be in a gooil cause." He threw aside his cup with a clat ter, jumped down and caugbt tbe sword from the table, examined it critically, then sheathed It with a click. Claiborne bad watched Armitage with a growing Impatience. He re sented tbe idea of being thus Ignored. Then be put his band roughly on Arml tage's shoulder. Armitage, intent with his own affairs, had not looked at Claiborne, for several minutes, but he glanced at him now as though just recalling a duty. "Lord, man, I didn't mean to throw you into the road! There's a clean bed In there that you're welcome to. Go in and get some sleep." "I'm not going into the valley." roar ed Claiborne, "and I'm not going to bed. I'm going with you." "But bless your soul, man, you can't go with me! You are as ignorant as a babe of my affairs, and I'm terribly busy and have no time to talk to you. Oscar, that coffee scalded me. Clai borne, if only I had time, you know, but under existing circumstances"— "I repeat that I'm going with you. 1 don't know why I'm in this row, and I don't know what ifs all about but I believe what you say about It and I went you to understand that I can't be put in a bag like a prize potato with out taking a whack at the man who put me there." "But if you should get hurt, Clai borne, it would spoil my plans. I never could face your family again," said Ar mitage earnestly. "Take your horse and go." "I'm going back to the valley when you do." "Humph! Drink your coffee! Oscar, bring out tbe rest of the artillery and give Captain Claiborne his choice." He picked up his sword again, flung the blade from the scabbard with a swish and cut the air with It, hum ming a few bars of a German drinking song. Then he broke out with "I do not think a braver gentleman, More active-valiant or more valiant young. More daring or more bold.. IS now allye To grace this latter age with noble needs. For my part, I may speak It to iny shams, I havs a truant been to chivalry— "Lord, Claiborne, you don't know what's ahead of us. It's the greatest thing that ever happened. I never ex pected anything like tbis, not on my cheerfulest days. Dearest Jules is out looking for a telegraph office to pull off the Austrian end of the rumpus. Well, little good it will do him. And we'll catch him and Durand and that Ser vian devil and lock them up here till Marhof decides what to do with him. We're off!" "All ready, sir," said Oscar briskly. "It's half past 2. They didn't get ofT their message at Lamar because tbe office is closed and the operator gone, and they. .Will ©t the T*]&. and away ffom the big Inn because they are rather worried by tbis time and not anxious to get too near Mar hof. They've probably decided to go to the next station below Lamar to do their telegraphing. Meanwhile tbey haven't got me!" "They bad me and didn't want me," said Claiborne, mounting his own horse. "They'll have a good many things they don't want In the next twenty four hours. If I hadn't enjoyed this business so much myself we might hdve had some secret service men post ed all along the coast to keep a look out U* them. But It's been a great old lark.
