The .movement was directed by General Ca nal, a member of the senate. It Is remarkable fact that not a- shot was fired. The soldiers of Alexis saw the rebels had the upper hand and they quickly let it be seen* that tl»ey-had no intention of starting a fight that un doubtedly would have resulted in much bloodshed.

Rock Island preferred stocks, was precipitated in the stock market today, by rumors that an Important plan had been perfected for financing the needs of the St Louis and San Francisco, a subsidiary company. The fact that this transaction was attrib uted to a banking house which usually acts for the Union Pacific, has given, rise to the implication that the Harr'. man and Rock Island interests were coming into closer affiliations. At the same time, reports were sent frqm the west that new projects were forming for a different organization oftheGoul'd group of properties.

The court room today was more crowded than last week. M. Clemenceau, In presenting the princess' side of the case, emphasized the fact that the courts of France al ways had decided that a second mar riage did not affect the right of par ents with regard to their children, even in cases where the second marriage was with an alleged accomplice In adultery. 'Clemenceau then summed up "the contentions of the princess as fol lows: "The count had formally declared he would withdraw the suit If the prin cess separated from her husband. The facts that the count had offered, to prove were Irrevelant even if they were established, but tlicy had no bearing upon the education of the children. Furthermore, these allegations were denied by the princess. The count was inspired less by solicitude for the wel fare of his children than by personal hatred and ftnancial considerations. The princess, since her marriage to her present husband, has fulfilled In every way interfered with the education of had not sought to alienate their af fections from their father. On the oth er hand, the count has committed the unpardonable fault of bringing out the present scandal to the detrim«at of the children. He had used language which 'humiliated' their tutor in liters. To them he had called De Sagan bandit "r Clenienciaii thoh ilenied thjhDe gan, since his marriage, lia{ In any way interferred with the ed^atlon of the children.

Thirty-second There is considerable speculation as to what action the legislature will take respecting restoration of the party cir cle to the ballot.

The machines used in Polk coun ty last month had a party lever, so that a straight ticket could be voted by merely pulling the lever. Many conten(i this was jn fact restoring the circle. It is expected a law will be passed prohibiting the use of the party lever or restoring the circle to the ballot so as to make the voting alike all over the state. B. F.

Women and New Money. The cashier, as usual, paid the loom boss in new money—crisp, syeet-smell boss in new money crisp, sweet smelling bank notes that it was pleas ant to handle. "But why is it, George," he asked, "that you insist upon new money al ways? I know you hand every cent of it to your wife." The loom boss chuckled. "It's easy to see you ain't a mar ried man, Will," said he. "Otherwise you'd fcnow a woman's nature better, and wouldn't need to be told the ad vantage of taking home new money 'to the wife. The ..explanation is, Will, women are so found of ney money that women are so fond of new money that they hate to part with it. It makes them economical. They bargain for this, they deny themselves that, and the upshot is that at the end of each week they have a tidy little sum, all brand new, put by in a stocking or a teapot. "It pays to give the wife new money. It pays something like 20 per cent." Aristocratic Tobacco Chewers. "I notice a slight revival in the de mand for the more expensive chewing tobacco.3," said a fashionable cigaret dealer. "In fact, I am urging one of the manufacturers to put on the mar ket a chewing tobacco of a higher quality than has ever b'5en known be fore—a tobacco at a dollar a plug. "It is the sveils who are becoming tobacco chewers, and aeronautics is what causes them to chew. In a bal loon, you know, on account of the gas, it Is "suicide to smoke or strike a match. Hence balloonists chew tobac co in their flights, and, getting the hab it, chew it on the ground, too. "So the'thing is spreading, it is even becoming fashionable, and, if we don't' look out, we iwill soon become again as marked a nation of tobacco-eaters as we were in the days of Dickens."

New York, Dec. 2.—An impromptu speech of a breezy nature by E. H. Harriman was the feature of the "prosperity dinner" of the Economic club at the Hotel Astor. Declaring that-he hesitated to speak even to an economic organization, Mr. Harriman went on: "I'm a sort of an economic subject myself—an economic morsel a bone of contention. I've been pursued by the pack, and the scent is getting pretty slim. I don't intend to do anything to renew it. I wish I were able to say— free to say—what I would like to say to you, but I am not yet free from a situation that prevents my speaking my mind to you fully. "While my mental and moral being was toeing investigated, I thought that my physical being required some in vestigating, so I turned myself over to a physician. I was discharged yester day with the happy assurance that there was nothing the matter with me. I was told to go out and eat what I pleased and go where I pleased. Per haps when the time comes I'll talk as I want to talk, as I'd like to talk but that time is not here yet "I once'was owner of a steamboat, one steamboat. If I operated that one boat so economically that soon I could have another steamboat, is there any reason why I should not have bought another boat? When I owned that steamboat I also had a theoretical friend with love for experiment. He also was a good talker. He talked me into letting him try his experiments on my steamboat. "However, I left my practical man in charge, and one day I went down to look over the experiment myself. My practical man drew me aside later and said to me: 'I oan't talk to that fellow. I won't say anything, but if I could I would tell you that that fellow ain't right.' "Now, gentlemen, a good deal .of what you hear isn't right. Some day you will know it isn't right. You'll find it out. There Is more in the game for me than what has been said there is satisfaction in doing things right. "I am engaged in the business of transportation. I have| in the course of my business talked with many gov ernment experts, both here and abroad, and they have all agreed wlth me on one proposition. They have agreed with me that many of the proposed new acts are not right. "Why, more than three yeaxs ago I told the president that the railroad legislation in the Sherman act was wrong as it stood, without some amendment. He didn't agree with me then. Now, mark my words mark my words he will soon advocate just what I did, and before long it will not be so wrong for men to get to gether for the good of a business en terprise."

fv MILLIONS OF LIVES 4 TIm Awful Toll Collected by Comump tion. If people could only understand that Catarrh Is an internal scrofula—that nothing applied externally does much good—they would not need to be warned so often about this fatal dis ease, which, when negilectod, Invariably ends up in Consumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet Catarrh is easily cured if the right trefttmept is employed. Catarrh is caused by germs in the blood which circulate thruout the en tire system. External remedies give but temporary ease. Altho the effects are often seen in the form of pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly skin, the trouble is internal, and can never be cured by external remedies. The only way to cure Catarrh Is by employing a medicine which is ab sorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mu cous membrane or internal lining of the body is thoroughly medicated, soothed, disinfected of germ matter, and the soreness healed. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made Ca tarrh a specialty and whose record of success was a cure in every case where his treatment was followed as pre scribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu Tone. "We are so positive that it will cure Catarrh in all its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where It fails to cure or for any reason does not satisfy the user. We' want you to try Rexall Mucu Tone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where you live, and you do not contract any obligation or risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes The prices are 50c and II. Very often the- 60c size, effects cure. Of course, In shronlc cases a longer treatment Is necessary. The average in such in stances Is three $1.00 bottles.

Iowa Falls, Pec. 2.—It is stated here today, that Sheriff Thomas Walsh, of this county, has asked the scuta for requisition papers for YV. L• Weaver, jrlI„ir&rd honm,. i... lea me a drunKara uecause the detnri who was indicted on two cojnts for uttering the grand jury last March, forged instruments. It is said that ever since the indictment was returned and the bench warrant was placed in Sheriff Walsh's hands for service, he has never given up hope of locating the young man who sought to unload some "phoney" loan papers on V. A. Biggs, of this city. While many have been inclined to criticize Sheriff Walsh for his seemi\ig inactivity, it appears he has, been quietly at work, and is given assurance that he has finally lo cated his man in the United 'States navy. It is said the matter of requisition has been taken up with the war de partment at Washington, also. Sher iff Walsh wai handicapped in his search for the missing man, on account of having no clue whatever, and the fact that Weaver was hidden away un der an assumed name. Besides, only a reward of $25 was offered^and the sheriff did not feel like putting the county to the expense of several trips to follow up supposed clues, and for till? action he is to be commended. It is said that the sheriff expects to have Weaver here for trial at the January term of the district court. It is reported that Weaver has been going under the assumed name of Wil liam L. Walters, it will be recalled that Weaver was not suspected of any such wjrk as he is charged with, un til he called for the money on the loan at the bank In Perry. When advised by the bank officials there that the money had not arrived from Biggs, it Is thought Weaver became suspicious and skipped the country. He was traced to Des Moines, and there all trace of him was lost. Perry parties identified photos as those of the same man that called for the money and left the loan papers for collection. He wal formerly a practicing attorney of this city. Mother of Whipped Boy Decides tyot to Prosecute the Cases.

Ames, Dec. 2.—The retention of members of the instructional force, at •the Iowa State college lias during the past two years bden most serious. Dur ing the biennial period ending June 30, last, more than forty professors and instructors tendered their resigna tions to the board of trustees because of additional compensation offered elsewhere or because of greater oppor tunities presented for individual work in other lines. In their biennial report the trustees say: "The question of salaries in an in stitution such as this is a perplexing one. While it is to be expected that a certain number of resignations will occur within a given period and transi tions' from one institution to another will be more or less frequent, the losses which Iowa State college has suffered within the last two or three years have been out of all proportion to any nor mal standard. The fact seems to be that other institutions are In the habit of looking to us for well trained men. They are paying better salaries than we do and we have been unable to prevent the withdrawal from Iowa of some of her most valuable men be cause we could not advance a few hundred dollars in salary." The report of the trustees then cites the loss of Professor Bissell. who ac cepted a better position in Michigan of Professor McKay, the head of the dairy department, who went to Chi cago, and Dr. McNeil, who went to the university at Columbus, O. "We have lost," says the report, "three as sociate professors from the division of engineering, and but for their attach ment to the state and loyalty to lh-» Institution' we should have lost the present dean of the division of engin eering and the present vice dean. We have lost a large number of our most experienced and capable and efficient assistant professors whom we could in most cases have retained to the great advantage of the college with but a comparative slight advance in salary." The report of the trustees further cites the fact that during the past few months every man In a certain dc* partment of the college, with one pos slble' exception, received offers from other colleges and from commercial lines of work to take up work else where at salaries ranging from $300 to $1,000 in advance of the salaries now being paid. The trustees further say: "If the col lege is to maintain its standing and prestige it must maintain its efficiency and this can only be done by a much more adequate provision for our teach ing force. Among the sixty-six institu tions for high'er learning In this coun try classified by the Trustees of the Carnegie Foundation »on tho basis of salaries paid their professors, Iowa State college does not, appear in the list, because the salaries paid are less than In any of these sixty-six Insti tutions. We do not believe that the state of Iowa can afford or wishes to lose Its men to other states no better able to compensate for their services than Iowa and needing .them no more than Iowa. The management of the state college keenly appreciates the situation, and believes that it can only be met by providing additional compensation.

EDUCATING THE HOME PRODUCT Remarkable Showing Made by State University in Education of Iowa. Speciai to Tiim-s-Uepublicsin. Towa City. Dec. 2.—That in the State l-niversity of Iowa, over HO pi-r cent of the students are actual resi dents of the state, and over 75 per eent native lowans. is the remarkable showing which the institution makes according to .statistics collected by llegisirar K. t'. Harrett. In this re gard the liawkeye university far out strips the neighboring schools. Illinois is the next with but forty students, and South Dakota third with but twenty one. The figures show farther that every county in the state has students in at tendance. Johnson county heads t.h* list In number, followed by Blackhawk, Linn, Washington, and Polk. Seven hundred .and twenty-five of the stu dents come from the farms of Iowa, which accounts in a great measure for the peculiar interest that the rural districts have in the university, and shows that the courses of the school are of a practical nature. The showing is a surprise to even the friends of the school. It indicates unmistakably that the people of the state are fast realizing the superior advantages of their own university in matters of equipment, laboratories, li braries. instructors, and things that are indispensable to modern methods of university teaching. Many Interesting Facts. The figures give many interesting facts concerning tiie state institution. During Hie last year thirty-live states in the union were represented in the student body.

The combined occupations of all the parents of lie students reached 128 different things, varying from the woman who takes in washing to send her son or daughter to the university, to those, who write "capi talist" after the occupation of their parents. In fact, few people realize the complexity of the student body at Iowa City. WEDDING AT GLADBROOK. Miss Elizabeth Achenbach Becomes Bride of Minnesota Banker.

In the light of the campaign ridicule £lVen to the suggestion of guaranteed brink deposits 1# will amuse some to now contemplate the effect of a postal pavings bank If put Into operation. The itOV«rftrtient will receive savings de posits under certain limitations and' restrictions at its postofflces and pay the. depositor 3 per cent interest there on. The'government will then deposit Jn local banks the money thus re celved at the postofflce, charging the bank two and one-half per cent ,in terest and requiring the bank to secure the deposit with adequate bond col lateral. Thus the government guar antees the fleplssit to the depositor and the bank guarantees It to the govern ment, but the depositor accepts two per cent interest when Savings^ banks pay four per ceht, thus paying two per oent for his guarantee. The bank •i. gets the' tnoney for two and a half per cent when as a savings bank it would have been glad to pay four per cent. I.^i ^fhia Is one side of the postal sav ings bank scheme. On the other hand there are thousands of communities to day in the United States in which itjiere are no savings banks but which do have postoffleee and postal savings banks there, could pick up millions which are otherwise secreted from circulation or else squandered when thrift should abound. It Is known that very large sums of postal money orders are purchased every day by timid people who hoard them without interest because they are afraid to hold the money and are afraid to trust a bank. The postal sav ings bank amounts to little more than a scheme to pay two per cent Interest on pbstal money orders. As a scheme for avoiding the neces sity for some comprehensive and workable plan of insuring bank depos- rits, the posted savings bank offers lit tle to con^mend tit except that it may force banks to work out a plan of vol untary insurance b.M groups which •'would be the ideal system anyway. As a scheme to invade the remote recesses .of the country with the beneficence of a safe depository for the savings of a people it has great merit and should ,:be judged solely upon this point when considered In the congress. AS TO THAT CIRCLE.1 Official returns from the Iowa elec tUln show that out of nearly half a million votes cast, approximately 20,000 voted for the first two of the thirteen .presidential electors without voting for the other eleven, and that nearly 28,000 voted for a Taft elector without voting for Caroll for governor. "These eom 'Parisons," argues the Dubuque Times, "constitute a conclusive argument In favor of restoring the circle to the Jiead of the official ballot. They show that over 5 per cent of the voters would rather waive full participation j, in the election than take the trouble to mark their ballots correctly under the present system." And even the Spirit Lake Beacon is admitting doubts as to the wisdom of omitting the circle from the ballots. fei'.' But, candidly now, do these condl tions prove any such thing? In the ipase. of the electors it merely proves thqj about 4 per cent of the voters Jieed to be educated to what pres idential- electors are for. If any sim plification of the ballot is needed it Should be a change in the law which Should permit the voter to put his Miark In front of the presidential candi date's name and have it counted for all the thirteen electors.' This Is the natural way of voting and would adapt Itself to every man's first Impulse. After a campaign for Taft or for Bryan toe wants to vote for Taft or for Bryan. 1}' As to the desire to have all the other candidates on a ticket ride on the pop ularity of the head of the ticket or on the interest which is worked up for the head of a ticket In presidential years, the prlnciplp is wrong. What We Want in this country is an intelli gent ballot. Machinery for counting an unintelligent ballot should be con demned. Candidates for governor and for other state offices as well as for c6unty offices should be made to stand Oh .their own legs.

It makes no difference If he does (All below the head of the ticket, for if 1 CANNON'S COMING ACROSS. Washington gossips now tell us that Joe Cannon has "come across" and that President-elect Taft has grarfted him amnesty in return. If it is true, it represents a situation In congress which should be lamented by the re :n. iniblican party thruout the nation. Joe Cannon typified reaction and obstruc tion, not only in tariff reviBion but In All things. For the good of the party and in the interest of real progress he should have been unhorsed. The fact that Taft threatened him with opposi tion was self-evident that the speaker Stood in the way of the party. If Mr. Taft has now considered It wise to compromise with Cannon it means that congress Itself has been- found to be reactionary, compelling Taft to make terms with Cannon, when he ought t.o have forced a new leadership into power. It means that republican suc cess in the last election was too over whelming for its own good. The' re actionaries were not scared enough to change their color. It means that the possible organization of the new blood in the next congress which might have been a power under a president's lead ership, has been dlssapated before it was attempted. In the light of so lim ited information as the public has concerning the lineup in congress it is not for us to criticise the of the new president's course In com- promising with the devil, he may have been left no alternative, but If he has done so, it is due cause for lamen tation within the republican party of the nation.

(Cedar ltapids Republican) The girl who was Miss Ruth Bryan has been disillusioned. She is still a girl, but she .Is seeking a divorce. She has two children and these ought to be a comfort to her. A man of the driftlng-sbout kind came to her father'^ house to paint a. portrait. Tn the young girl the painter seemed one of the "grandest" of men. Her happiness, she thought, lay wrapped up with his. Mr. Bryan protested and Mrs. Bryan utterly refused to give her consent, but the girl would have her wa.y. He was her affinity and she was his. They»were married and the dream did not last very long. Now she has* to face life alone, she and her children, children whose father will be exiled from them. The children are wortli something to her. but how much more would they be worth if their fa ther could share with her In tholr bringing up. It is not such an Important mat ter. But it Is at least worth some thing as an object lesson. Tho in fatuated girl who Is not willing to believe that her father and mother know more about, men and about the world 'than she does is apt to run in to just such snags as Ruth Bryan finds herself in. Girls sometimes have an idea that their parents do not want them to bo happy—what an outrageous idea that it. There Is not a father or mother who would not move the world, if they could, to make a daughter happy. When a father or mother tells a girl not to marry a certain man, nine cases out of ten. It. Is a good judgment and It is expressed for tho good of the girl. MONTENEGRO. Why Smallest State of Europe Leads in Balkan Trouble. (Pittsburg Gazette-Times) Montenegro is just a little spot on the map of Europe—3,600 square miles It Is a little larger than Del aware and a little smaller than Con necticut. It has no army worth is about 230,000. How a state of such diminutive dimensions, a shepherd people dwelling up on bleak and bare hills, could raise so 'much of a rumpus in the European concert as-It has dono dur ing the ipresent Balkan trouble Is at first hard to understand. But it be comes clear as one glances at the racial traits and the past history of the tiny principality which has been ruled by one prince, Nikita or Nich olas, for forty-eight years. The Montenegrins have always been desperate fighters. During the middle ages they formed a tribe of the Ser vian race, but when tho Turks In 1389 crushed' the Servian power the Mon tenegrlns kept up the fight. Retiring to their mountain fastnesses- they defied the Turks, keeping- up a perpetual guerilla warfare during all the centuries that the Turks kept Europe In terror. The republic of "Venice re celved powerful aid from these hardy mountaineers in Its wars against the Ottomans, and in 1796 the Montene grins administered such a galling de feat to the Turks that they were rarely molested thenceforth, except when the Turks made reprisals for marauding expeditions. In their Black mountains—Montenegro means "black mountain," tho It is supposed that Crnojevlc, the "Black Prince," gave his name to the country rather than that is was derived from the color of the rocks—In their Black mountains these Highland clans of the Adriatic have laughed at pashas and sultans. Gladstone said of this people that they would have risen to world wide and immortal fame had there been a Scot to tell the marvels of their his tory or a Byron to spend and be spent on their behalf. To show how highly the Montene grins, poorest and least powerful of European nations, are thought of, it is only necessaVy to recall one fact Elena, the daughter of Prince Nikita, is the queen of Italy. Czar Alexander III. spoke of Montenegro as "Russia's only ally." It is not unlikely that scions of the Montenegrin royal line will sit upon more than one of Eu rope's thrones within the next quarter century. Indeed, it, would have been better for the whole Balkan'popula tion if the good gray Prince Nikita had been given the Servian crown after 'the Obrenovitch dynasty had been wiped out. Nikita is a ruler wlios'e methods re mind one of the Old Testament days and ways, rather than the twentieth century Europe. He Is now nearly 70 years old. but robust as an oak and good apparently for another de cade. Under a tree near his palace he sits and judges his people with pa triarchial absolutism. His word Is the supreme law, altho there is a state council of eight members, 'half of whom he selects, while the other half are elected by the men of military age. As the total state revenue amounts to only $250,000 a year there is no chance and little temptation for grafters. Aside from this, the Montenegrins are not built that way. Perhaps no oth er people in Europe have so clean a record. Crime ifc almost unknown among •them..Theft is unheard of, drunkenness is extremely rare. One town official, in making his annual re port, declared! that only five men had been in prison, and their crime had been—telling ghost stories, which h3 considered dangerous to morality. Physically the Montenegrins are giants temperamentally they are ex citable and violent. Their life in the open, following the vocation of shep herds—there are 500,000 sheep and goats in the country, more than dou ble the number of inhabitants has made them hardy and healthy. No wonder they despise and defy the weakling races of more favored lands no wonder they aro ready to fight either Turk or Austrian. The clash of battle is their native element. They have no foreign trade to lose their chief export, aside from dried fish, be ing insect powder. They can count up on Italy's sympathy and aid, for is not Queen Elena the daughter of their Gospodare? Russia, too, is apt to help them and encourage them, for they have always been ready to help Russia and the czar is the head of their church. Perhaps these facts' will make It easier to understand why a country whose population Is no larger than that of Jersey City would defy the mighty Francis Joseph, who can mo bilize an anny o^.700,000 men.

(Spwftil Correspondence.) Washington. .Dec. 2.—The proposal to force revision of the rules of the house of representatives ihas received decided Impetus in three turned to this means of reforming the house -the declaration of Repre aentative Gjardner of Massachusetts that people who favor reform ought to refuse to'opticus on rules. the last two or dip6-! Serious attention was One tftWi's defeat In the recent elec tlon has post the reformers dearly. Representative Hepburn or Iowa Is chairman of the republican house cau cus, and would undoubtedly have been re-elected-at the opening of the new congress. Mr. Hepburn has long .been a determined opponent of the,.present rules. He never liked tho-m, and lie has fought them In season and out. Not in maay years has he allowed the biennial caucus for organization of the house to pass without making his hopeless Sfht and year by year ills protest has gained In backing of sent iment, evjjj' tho many of those who really syn^fcthlzed with it were too timid to ftte with the objectors. Just at the time when victory seemed (possible, Hepburn has been beaten atstRe 'polls, and the Insurgents are confrliited with the misfortune of losing alvpresidlng officer, in the caucus, tpio could be relied upon to give their cause every possible encour agement that could be extended from the chalti Mr. Hepburn doesn't be lieve in %cz«r In the house, but as (fleer of to I8?1 ,the &The deV a caucus would be vastly better with Mr. Hepborn| as head of the organiza tion. wrth nre insurgen chances 11 Contfit For Hepburn's Place. Not o0y will the^ insurgents lose Hepburn,fut they are" confronted with the certatety that the Cannon forces will maketheir first fight to elect, In his 'place, iome member fully in sym- San Sbers of the Cannon or ganlzation, hive been discussed in this connection. Mr. -Mann especially Is looked upon as likely to be put for ward 'by thespeaker's friends. He has in a fashion had chafce of the Can non cariipalg for reelection to the chair, and In he natural course would be in line forhead ot the caucus. He is an excellei parlimentarian and a man of the ecessary force to handle the ^avel tTu what seerns likely to •be a series {.'stormy sessions. FigV It Out Early. Sv? A promlner western house mem.ber, himself mentned in all the discus sions of spctershiip iposslbilities, re cently declaid his expectation that -when the «pdal session oC congress {meets March 15 or thereabouts, it Is quite liable spend a month making I an organlzatU. This member is him !self in recet of letters .from more than thirty embers, suggesting that he become a indldate for speaker. -He Is not annou:ed as a candidate, but it will be no lrprlse If he shall short ly be broughtforward as an aspirant. He has a an of campaign, wliich aims rather it reform of the r^les than at defef of the speaker but the latter exlgen has also had consider ation in franng this plan. This insurjnt proposes that in ad vance of theepublican caucus the re-, formers dra\up a statement of their demands as changes in the rules, and sign, a atement setting forth in such generalerms as It may be pos sible for the to agree upon, the 'sub stance of thr demands. This signed paper shoulcbe served on the caucus when it shold be called to order. It would set fdh in substance that the signers demaded changes in the rules, and that, bei? convinced that the ma jority of trtehouse favored them..but that the miority in the repubUcan caucus :woul 1893 GLASSES SCIENTIFICALLY FITTED PERCY R.

Theywould ask Instead for a conference, xiich they, might attend with the dlsnct understanding that they were no to be bound by any ac tion taken. 1 this conference »tK:ey would desire nsideration of the wV .e question of tl rules, with the vie* 1.0 determining the republicans ccald not reach a asis of adjustment, ana make the ref a party measure. But they would so make clear tfyat. un­ less such armgement could be mj.de. they would rt enter the caucus and Would reserv the right to act inde pendently onthe floor of the house when it shod meet at the constitu tional time the purpose of organ ization.

There is no doubt, from ,ii information thus far available', of he willingness of t|e democrats to- nite with the disaffected republicans inforcing rule reform. Three week: ago men who talked of thus bolting he caucus upon as enemies of paly Lam. were looked extrmists, and held up as discipline. the situation determined in?rest of bolting the But tod*y changed, thanks to tfe Prftsident-Elejt Taft. There not only discussion casus if on rules, and fry­ ing the consieration of rules befoje a speaker shalibe nominated, but thej is even talk of making an effort to feet alliance |ith the democrats the purpose ofilecting a new-idea publican. Thislowever is regarded possible only I the event that the should be a prfracted and bitter The democrat? would in normal cir cumstances hae little desire to I b«p the republicans out of thelf family row, and many republicans, even of Insurgent tendencies, would be indis posed to enter into such an alliance. But this sort of coalescence for the purpose of forcing revision of the rules Is by no means looked upon as im possible. On the other hand the possi bility of such a campaign looms larger every day. It is known that Mr. Taft has listened without manifestation of disapproval, to discussion of the .scheme, tho nobody has assumed to know that he would give his indorse ment to it. Mr. Taft however is not, so devoted to the idea of party regu larity as is (Mr. Roosevelt, and many of the' vigorous Insurgents think he might countenanco such a fight. CLAIM JOKER SENT RING. Friends of Elkins Believe Duke Abruzzi Innocent of Unworthy Gift. Pittsburg, Deo. 2.—A new story lias come 'to light regarding the package sent from Italy to Mitts Kutherlne El-j kins and opened by the postmaster at I Elkins, W. Va. It was at first de clared the package contained a $G,000j ruby engagement ring on which no! duty had .been paid. On this theory the ring was turned over to the collec tor of the port at Pittsburg in absence of the payment of the $3,000 duly. Now it appears that the Elkinses have possession of the ring. The value, It Is said, is $11.75, and the duty, which the Elkinses paid, $4.36. Friends of the family deny the Duke of the Abruzzi was ungallant enough to send such a gift, and claim it was mailed in Turin by some joker. The known facts are these: The ring, which now is valued at $11.75, was mailed at Turin. Italy, inclosed In a cheap 2 by 4 Inch pasteboard box, and addressed to Miss Elkins in West Virginia, on Oct. 12. It was orna mented with 16 cents worth of Italian stamps. OLD SCHOOL VS. NEW |Allison Committee Chairmanship Va cancy May Result in Elimination of 'Time-Honored Priority Rule in Sen ate. (Special Correspondence.) "Washington, Dec. 2.—There is In creasing probability, as the days pass, that the shoes of Willtaim B. Allison as .chairman of the senate appropriations committee/ will be the object of a con test between tho regulars and the in surgents of the upper house between the older and the newer elements be tween the eider statesmen, and the as piring younger men who get the crumbs of opportunity- from the table that is piled high for the benefit of the lucky ones. Senator Allison represented the scheme of priority in the senate. He was chairman of appropriations be cause he was the oldest senator in service. He was entitled to anything h6 liked, and he chose that place. •But with him out, the younger men believe it is the time lor them to strike. They -would like to defeat Hale of Maine, who is the natural man for head of the great committee. Hale Would come in the ordinary course of promotion by seniority, l'or h# Is second on the committee. Dolliver of Iowa is not a candidate for chairman of the committee, but he does want a place on it. Mr. Dolliver is fast growing into rank as a seasoned senator more than half the senate are his juniors in service and he is out for some strong committee opportuni ties. Moreover, it is necessary for him to hustle for himself hereafter, foecausfc he will not be able to rely on the as sistance which Allison always rendered in his behalf. When Senator Cummins gets to Washington, he will start under pe culiarly favorable auspices. He will be sworn in when the session opens. That will make him senior to a long list of new senators who will bo sworn in March 4 next. In the natural course, Cummins would be one of this group but he (beats them to it by three months, and will thruout his senatorial career lead them by this necik. It will more than onoe be of the greatest ad vantage to him, too, for in the senate the rule of precedence is very strong. WANTED A NEW START Therefore Creston Man Let Frienas Thirjk He Was Dead. Council Bluffs, Dec. 1.—"I just wanted to get a new start—to be clear away from my old cronies at Creston. Th6n I could .go ahead." Such was the statement of George Vincent, the young-newspaper man of Creston who last week left notes to the effect thg,t he intended to jump into Summit lake and thus forever free himself from the flood of debt that kept rising ever higher about h'im. His story is a tale of a struggling young man with a sister to keep, of small wages and a desire to show up well' in the circle in which he moved. "I couldn't stop being a good fel low, and I didn't have will power enough to shut down tight on expenses. Part of my weekly salary was held out to apply on my debts, but this didn't prevent more debts from piling up. It came to be so I could not go down the street without being dunned by some of my creditors. I me^nt to pay —I intend to pay them all yet. I couldn't get ahead there, and so I hit upon this method of getting away and beginning all over again. Maybe it was wrong and foolish, but it was the .only scheme I could think of. It wan j, cinch I had to get away from the bunch I was associating with. Once loose and in a new place I knew—or thought I knew—that I could start to saving^ something. So I thought I would make them all think I was dead and. begin again. When I got some mf ley I would go back and pay -them alr up."

THOUSAND WORD A MINUTE TELEGRAPH IN OPERATION, Mayor of Botron Inaugurates Talepoat Sorvioc—One Cnnt a Word the Higiv est Rate For A"••/ Distance.

With tiiis message to the innjor of i'ortland. Me., Mayor George A. Hlb l.i-'.rd of Boston announced the opeuing the lines of the new telegraph com pany, the Telepost. This system, which scuds and receives wire mes sages at l,u00 wards a minute, makes possible so many economics that the new company is able to make a rfltc of 25 cents for twehty-flve words be tween all points. On Teleposts deliv ered at destination through the mails the rate is 25 cents for fifty words,' teleoards 10 cents for ten words. One of the best descriptions of the Delany automatic system controlled by the Telepost Is Riven In the report of the Franklin Institute, just made public, awarding PalrMs B. Delany the Klliott C!re son rf"'.d medal. In mak ing this award the Franklin Institute authorities describe the Delany sys tem as "the i?.'--»st development in au tomatic le.!i»srav)by." Tbe system embraces both electro uiagnattc *nd electfo-chesnical methods c-f receiving n'.e-.-siigos and transmitting I'.iem by perforated tapes. Referring to the main features of the Delany system, the Franklin institute report Bays: Gould Killed Former Automatic Co. The most notable use of the. ''bem lcal system was by the Automatic Tel egraph company, which built lines in 1871 from New York to Washington and Charleston, with offices at Phil adelphia and other intermediate points. It continued in business for about \kvee years with fair success, when Jay 'Jould obtained control of the stock and solo it to Vanderbilt and Western Vnion. interests. Delany, Ed ison, Johnson and some other well known electrical engineers were prom inent in that company. Mr. Delany be ing its general manager. He has nev er wavered in his belief that automat ic telegraphy must eventually become universal. The principal difficulty encountered by all high spaed telegraphs and which gave the old automatic line the most trouble is "retardation," or the "static charge," or "capacity." of the circuit. The most important of the Delany patents deals wjth the objectionable static charge. In this patent Mr. De lany describes a method of utilizing the "capacity" of tho circuit in produc ing the record on the receiving tape. The capacity of the line as a dis turbing factor having been removed. It Is a short step to increase the speed and distance over wttfch chemical tele graphs may be operated. Tested at 1,200 Words a Minute. The committee saw the Delany ap paratus in operation on two occasions and tested the speed of transmission of the chemical system at 1,200 words a minute. The record on the tape was perfect, much more uniform than could possibly have been made by hand transmission. The commercial Importance of Mr. Delany's completed system of high speed automatic telegraphy and par ticularly of his elimination of that bane of telegraphy, the static charge, or re tardation. becomes more and more ev ident as ts application to existing con ditions is considered. High speed upon long or short lines Is now assured. The carrying capacity of a line is made slxtyfold greater than hand worked lines. Expert service la reduced to a minimum. Errors in transmission ire eliminated. Line maintenance is de creased In proportion to Increased speed. As a result ot A Where We're Strong. Church—I see that.

Bradshaw, in the district court this morning, ordered that an assessment oil $2 per member, up to a maximum of $5,000, should be levied against the members of the 'Hawkeye Commercial Men's association' of this city to pay the claim of H. E. Slniklns. The order was embodied in the decree handed down in the case brought by Lena Simkins. as executrix of the es tate. The claim of the executrix for an assessment of $2 against each person who was a member in good standing of the association on Feb. 2, 1907, was allowed in full by Judge Bradshaw. It is very likely that the case will be ap pealed to the supreme court by the as sociation. II. 10. Slmkins died of septic pois oning, resulting from a prick of an em balmerls needle. The defense set up the claim that the cause of death did not come under the provisions ol it3 con tract of insurance, and that proper notice of death was not given, and no claim was made within the time limit provided by its contract.

Enormous Amount of Creamery Stock Bought and Held in Storage. Chicago, Dec. 2.—Manipulation of the leading butter markets of the counr try by a coterie of Chicago. Elgin and eastern produce men is said to be re sponsible to a large extent for the present extravagant prices for butter. While suppiies of butter are larger than is usually the ease at this sea son, values are materially higher than a year ago, with prospects good further advances before there is any relief. Rumors of a corner in June storage butter, which is the best of the sea son's pack, have been circulated for some time, and whiia vigorously denied by the principals, the fact remains that the stock of choice storage butter is tightly held, with prices high and on the up grade. Leading commission firms in Chica go. Boston, New York and Klgin are credited with being tha engineers of tha so-called deal. 'I'. E. Purtell Co., a South Water street commission firm, is given the credit for handling the local end of the operations. At Elgin the 'Rock River Butter company is reported to have had charge. The alleged "deal" dates back to 1 J* i. of storage stocks of June butter held by the clique at 75 per cent. About $1, 000.000 is said to have been invested in the' operations. The Grinnell News. Special to Times-Republican. Grinnell, Dec. 2.—The residence property on Main street, formerly be of this city. Mr. Williams has recently sold his large farm in the vicinity of Searsboro, for ?90 per acre, and plans to move to Grinnell and occupy his newly acquired property in the spring. J. T. Cessna has made his plans to leave Grinnell today for Oklahoma, partly to escape the rigors of an Iowa winter, antl partly for purposes of busi ness. His plan as to length of stay is somewhat indefinite, but may includ" the entire winter. The friends of Mjr. E. P. Clark of Los Angeles, Cal., but a former well known resident of Grinnell, and one of the warmest friends of Iowa cbllege, are greatly)pained to learn of his heavy loss recently by fire, to the extent of $50,000 above the insurance carried. This means also probably a heavy loss to the college here just at the present time, when all gifts are so especially welcome inx the completing of the en dowment. Miss Grace Goff, the efficient clerk at the office of the Grinnell Electric and Heating company, is confined to her home with a severe case of tonsil itis. This is the first time in four years of this service that she has lost a day by sickness. President T. J. Phillips, of the League of Iowa Municipalities, has honored Grinnell and its mayor, E. B. Wiley, by selecting him as a member of tho committee on sanitation and sew age. Miss Frederica A Lidtka was united in marriage yesterday at noon to Wilbur M.

Chicago, Dec.1 2.—Cattle trains were somewhat delayed, and yarding oper ations were somewhat slow, and as a result it wis some time before cattle were in position to be offered to buy ers. Receipts were 5,000 heavier than the same day last week, and consisted chiefly of natives, tho there were still a few loads of range stuff eonVing in. Good grades were steady, others dull. Two days' receipts thus far this week Monday's advance for medium ana plain kinds, and also the good beeves, but practically unchanged basis for choice to prime, kinds, was Indication of the sentiment of demand at present.

While the early market saw little trading on the part of big killers, shippers and scalpers competed among themselves for good to choice kinds jof butcher hogs and paid 5@10 cents above the average of the previous day. Receipts were far below the number offered the corresponding day last week. After the first round of buyin the market weakened and the early advance was partly lost. Official' receipts of hogs for Novem ber were S16.2S3. which /s a gain of 344,746 over November last year, when the panic was on in full force, and the market was badly depressed. Prices are nearly a dollar higher than a year ago at this time. Sheep. All the strength and snap in the nni.tton market displayed yesterday seemed to" -have vanished today.

From present appearances it. seems that new corn will bring about fifty cents a bushel when it first reaches the market and that the price is liable to go at sixty cents or higher before the winter is over.s With these prices in mind the question at once asserts itself as to whether or not pork can lie produced .at a profit with corn sell ing at this level. In feeding circle? it is a commonly accepted teory that 40 cent corn should mean 4 cent hogs, 50 cent corn, 5 cent hogs and so on up the scale. According to this rule, hogs in the country should be worth around npco,,,],*,,.. 6 cents per potind in order to make 60 cent corn pay out. There -is but little doubt that corn at this price cannot profitably be fed to a poor quality of hogs while on the other hand there seems to be no immediate danger ahead for the man who has the right kind of hogs to fatten. Nine or ten pounds of pork is about the average amount obtained from one bushel of corn, altho under the most favorable circumstances as high as fourteen pounds of pork to the bushel of corn have been obtained. Experiments at the various stations show that under varying conditions amount of corn that would hardly make any grade on the market but which is very valuable for high feeding. There is no doubt but that a lot of tho corn which will be fed to the hogs this year will come nearer being forty cent corn than sixty cent corn, if placed on the market. Where steers are on feed the feeding of hogs becomes an abso lute necessity an\ even where cattle are not fattened the manure obtained from the feed lots for hogs is of con siderable value. Even tho corn goes to sixty cents a bushel or a little higher it is doubtful if any farmer would be justified in selling good pigs before they were fattened and putting the corn on the market instead. Dehorning. This is a good time of the year to do dehorning work. In cool .weather the bounds heal rapidly and there is no trouble from flies. In dehorning it is a good plan to use the right kind of implements. Don't try to get along with some old saw that will not do the work quickly or effectively. There is necessarily some pain connected with the work and there is no necessity for torturing the animal. A good strong pair of clippers will do the work expe ditiously and a good sharp saw can aJways be obtained. Get ready to do tftis work in a hurry, -have a place where the stock can be securely held and save pain just as much as possible. To Cure Wrinkles. "Look at a. paralytic if you think wrinkles incufca.ble," said a beauty doc tor. "On the side he is paralyzed all his wrinkles disappear. Though he be 60 or 70. his profile on that side is the profile of a youth. "So the -paralytic shows us how to cure our wrinkles—namely, by keeping our -facial muscles still. If we keep our faces in perfect repose, never 'laugh ing when the comedian sings h-is .best song, never weeping when wife or sweetheart dies, we will Jhave no wrinkles whatever. The Indian keeps his face in such repo.se with 'ugh' 5.60 alone he expresses -despair or delight 5.7" and the Indian's face remains wrinkle 6.10 less till death. 6.65 "The skin wouldn't wrinkle if it 6.70 were not ."exposed. The skin of the 6. 10 body is much distunbed by -the action 7.25 of the muscles underneath—as at the knee, for instance—yet t,his unexposed skin never wrinkles. N6t -being ex posed to the bad influence of sun and wind, it has not lost the oil and the elasticity of childhood. And ^that's where I come in, with my creams and. unguents and massages, making the skin of the face like that of the back or knee, restoring to It the original elasticity and oil of childhood." i#®1 pork can be produced from 60 cent befell the republicans when they corn all the way from $4.35 per hundred to $5.60 per hundred.

The special session of congress to revise the tariff was called by the new president for about the middle of March, at which time the bill was in troduced. All the time of that special session was thus devoted to the con sideration of the bill, and not to its preparation, the result being that the new tariff law was enacted and put into effect early in tho summer. The house leaders, learning wisdom from the blunder whieh^ was made at the session which enabled the McKin ley tariff law, prevailed upon the speaker, at the -special session of March, 1S97, to appoint only the ways and means, accounts and mileage com mittees. This prevented general legis lation from being brought before the house, and confined the attention of congress, and of the country, to the specific purpose for which congress had been assembled, namely, the en actment of a new tariff law.

This program, in detail, is to bo reported next spring. Speaker Cannon being determined that revision shall be accomplished In the shortest time possible. McKinley Held Conferences. Mr. McKinley, in the fall of 1896, knew, just as Mr. Taft kno-ws now, that the enactment of a tariff law would be the first thing to come before congress, and that he would call an extra session for that purpose. Having this in mind, immediately following the election, he sent for Nelson Dingley of Maine, chairman of the ways and means com mittee, and went over the tariff situa tion with him. Mr. Dingley spent sev eral days at Canton, the guest of Mr. McKinley during which time tho two came to an agreement regarding the general character and scope of tho pro posed new law. During .the early win ter months Mr. McKinley had still other members of the ways and meana committee at Canton, for a similar purpose. Meanwhile, Mr. Dingley, in Washington, as soon as congress con vened in December, called his commit tee together and made assignments of the schedules to the various members, asking ea.ch to look, up his subject thoroughly and be prepared to report 011 it shortly after the holidays. The committee began its secret sit tings in January, 1897. in a small room in the Cochran hotel, and for weeks it went over the schedules, with a view to arranging them in a way to suit the greatest number or republican members of the house. These members were in frequent consultation with the committee, and the work of preparing •the new law progressed to a conclusion with perfect harmony (prevailing be- 31 -1 This tail n' Taft l'er wi ways other The the w. presenl linal s| ary, into the Mr. promptly ap pointed all the standing committees of the house, and general legislation was la ken up in addition to the work of tariff revision. Or course, at a general session this was unavoidable, but the result of it was that other important bills were browght to the forefront and used to obstruct the passage of a tariff bill, and congress, which should have adjourned by June, was in session un til late in October.
