Last Monday municipal elections was held in every city and incorporated town in Iowa, to select men to govern the city or town for the next two years. There were the usual republican victories, except in few instances where local interest entered into the contest. The only great surprises were in Council Bluffs and Sioux City which elected a democrat mayor and democratic council, of course local interest entered in these contests. In our city the republicans won a clean sweep by about two or three thousands plurality, except the police judge, Mr. Tris, who was defeated by Mr. Mathis a democrat, by about 2,000 majority, which met our approval. For the BYSTANDER owed Mr. Tris nothing, neither did the republican party; for if the republican party was made up or controlled by such narrow minded, prejudiced men as Mr. Tris we would sever our connection with it. Mr. Tris refused to marry a white woman and colored man, giving as his reason that he did not think it right. While we do not tolerate the intermarriage of the two races, yet we do not want any laws against it, and as there is no law against it in Iowa we want the public officers to perform their sworn duty and fulfill their office as required by law. The successful officers are as follows: Mayor, George Mattern; city auditor. John Lucas; city treasurer, Harry Gross; city attorney, W. H. Bremner; city engineer, C. W. Budw; alderman West Des Moines, L. C. Sutherland; East Side, F. W. Whitney; first ward, John Myrely; second Ward, A. L. Smith; third ward, Ed Higgins; fourth ward, Eugene Van Dyke; fifth ward, C. H. Christy; sixth ward, Emil Schaub; seventh ward, John Fairley. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S CRITICS. There has been many newspapers published by our own race criticising Booker Washington's industrial ideas, and even many of the Methodist ministers have preached sermons denouncing Mr. Washington's theory. We think those newspapers and ministers are unjustly denouncing Mr. Washington. They misrepresent him and his theory. In another article we print an editorial from Geo. E. Roberts, commissioner of the U. S. mint. In his editorial he gives the true Booker T. Washington idea. Mr. Washington has never uttered publicly or maintained that industrial education was the only panacea for our race and they should receive no higher education. In fact his own acts negative that representation, in as much as he is sending his two children to the higher institutions of learning, but only after they had good foundation and industrial training. Than if able strive higher. Mr. Washington has always been a true friend to his race—simply because he does not condemn the white race in each speech for their cruel treatment, does not necessarily place him against the race. In fact it is best often not to continually howl about conditions, but to try ourselves to make conditions better by our own example. What the race needs is more hard honest work and labor, and less speeches or condemning resolutions, results is what will tell. Those who are condemning Mr. Washington are men we fear who have never made a success of their own business or their ideas and are simply jealous of Mr. Washington's extreme popularity and their littleness. In brief Mr. Washington's ideas and plans are in practice and are productive of much good. His great institution is sufficient proof of his plans being successful. Let us all do more hard good work like him for the uplifting and upbuilding of our race, and do less criticizing and denouncing one another. WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Too much credit cannot be given the ladies for the valuable assistance they have given to the different branches of the church. Prof. Sorrugs, president of the Western college at Macon, Mo., delivered an address on the race problem at the Baptist church last Thursday night. Those who heard him were indeed fortunate. Prof. Sorrugs is a man of unusual intellectual ability and holds the attention of his audience from start to finish. A liberal offering was given to assist the college. The people of Mt. Pleasant quite agree with Prof. Sorrugs in that, the elevation of the Negro depends upon his education in all branches. The young people of the A. M. E. church are preparing to give a drama attitled "A Strange Marriage," April 7. The offer promises to be the most interesting ever put forth by them.

Washington, today unquestionably the most successful race. He made an address from the pulpit of the African M. E. church, which is one of the largest audience rooms in this city, and thousands were unable to obtain admission. Commissoir de l'Académie board which answers for a city council in Washington, delivered an address of welcome, Congressman Watson of Indiana, one of the eloquent young men of the house, made a speech, and did Marine band, which plays for all White house functions, furnished the music of the occasion. It was a notable affair to be in honor of a colored man, born a slave, of unknown parental lineage, few men of the proudest lineage deserve to be honored as much as he. There is nothing in Dr. Washington's appearance to distinguish him from thousands of other negroes of the mulatto type. He is of medium stature, and his features are not large, but of rather the "pug" or buildup, but not tentious, but impressive and interesting because he is direct and is saying something all the time. There is none of the alrs or imaginary or oratorical style which frequently marks the efforts of the negro speakers who are heard in political conventions. Washington is plain business all the time. He is not a deliver, and he goes straight to the point without any striving for effort or any thoughts about the figure he is making. He does not impress one as being a genius, as a resolute, disciplined, educated, well balanced man. There are no negro characteristics peculiarities like provincial customs, disappear when men reach a given level of enlightenment. Mr. Washington began his school at Tuskegee about twenty years ago, alone and unaided. He has now over fifteen hundred students in it. Every month, he has to maintain it is now about $600 per day and upon him is the responsibility of providing the money. In these twenty years Mr. Washington has taken over in property an endowment now belonging to the school, of owner $1,800,000. He has taken as his field of work, in which to concentrate his energies, the industrial education of the colored people. He does not say that the colored people should not aspire to all the culture that the white race geeks, the blacks, and the whites need of the colored race is to be independent industrially and financially. He does not say that the colored people should relinquish any of their political agitation. No class of people, he says, who are dependent financially, who live in other men's houses and don't pay the rent when it is due, and other men's bread and them for it can be important politically. He told an interesting story of meeting the pastor of a colored church in one of the large cities of the country, who took exception to the emphasis Washington lays upon industrial education, the pastor took Mr. Washington to see his church, a handsome edifice which had cost $25,000, of all it raised by the congregation. Mr. Washington admired the church and asked who the pastor was. He asked the name of a well known firm of white architects. He asked who was the contractor and it proved to have been an Irishman; he asked who made the brick and that proved to have been a German firm; he asked who plastered the walls. He asked who to have been white men; the frescoing was done by italians, the electric wiring was done by white electricians, and so on throughout the entire expenditure of $25,000. "Now," said Mr. Washington, "we have collected $25,000 from washerwomen, draymen, porters and other hardworking men and women of low wages and paid every dollar of it out to high priced white men, and yet you think too much emphasis is put on the work of our people to do all these things." By such plain, effective reasoning and illustration as this, Booker Washington inspires his hearers. He is doomed to people. It takes more than one speech to rejuvenate the average, easygoing darkey, even though he drinks it in as eagerly and becomes as enthusiastic as this audience did, but those people are not as eager. He uttered struck home and the fact that they appreciated it and were even momentarily inspired by it gives confidence that though the progress may be slow it is inevitable. A race that has been held by a character as Booker Washington will eventually find its way up to their level. Its capacity is demonstrated.

Many jewels require an occasional sleep, so to speak, in order to retain their brilliance. Diamonds, rubles and sapphires are among the number.

It is best to wear jewels' tissue paper, then pack in and lay in airlight compartments.

Phosphorus in Fish The idea that fish is particularly useful as brain food, because it contains phosphorus, probably has its origin, according to the Lancet, in the phosphorescence of fish in the dark. In the case of the fish, phosphorus than do ordinary meat foods. Its easy digestibility, however, makes it useful for brain workers. Religion In Japan. The Japanese constitution guarantees absolute freedom of religious belief, and the gospel of Christ is preached from one end o' the empire to the other. In Japan there are members of Christian churches who command per battleships, who sit in her cabinets, and who preside over her parliament. **First Almanacs.** The first almanac was published in 1472 by Martin Ilikus at Buda, Poland, and in 1473 almanacs were compiled nearly in their present form by John Muller, otherwise Regimontanus, a printer at Nuremburg.

The Berlin Telegabt resents the statement made by an American commercial journal that baggling is still the custom in German stores. So far as Berlin is concerned, it says, that there is scarcely a respectable store in the city which has not fixed prices. Science on Sleep. "The best way to regulate sleep," says a scientific authority, "is to go to bed when sleepy, and arise when the sleepy feeling passes." Yet, if the average man tried to regulate his sleeping on such lines he'd probably lose his job. Shell Fish Carry Typhoid.

Economic Conditions Are Frightful In the Extreme. The bad economic conditions of the Russian peasantry may be shown by the statistics of farm animals. The Russian novelist, Uspenski, once wrote a story of peasant life, which he called "A Quartier of a Horse," and which was intended to set forth, in the guise of fiction, the social and economic status of an agricultural population that had only one horse to every four families. Statistics compiled by the zemstvos of the central provinces show that, even before the agricultural crisis became as acute as it is now 20 to 30 per cent of the peasant farmers in the formerly rich provinces of Cherzigov, Voronezh, Poltava, Saratov, Kursk and Tambof did not have even a single horse, while nearly one-third of the entire population of Russia was peasant. In the province of Rizan 23,000 peasant proprietors out of 80,000 had no horse and 21,000 had neither horse nor cow. O.

It is indeed that it emblem of marriage and as it grows older it is considered typical of love, because, though its fruit is golden and its flavor and scent delicous, its rind is bitter.

Italy has some 5,500 macaroni factories employing nearly 25,000. A number of these factories are large, using improved machinery and steam power.

The exports of macaroni in 1889 were 7,118 tons; in 1900, $888 tons; in 1901, $738 tons; in 1902, 11,222 tons; in 1908 (eight percent of the above exports went to the United States). OPINION OF THE EDYOR OF THE "NEBRASKA FARMER." He Expresses His Approval of Amer- ican Emigration to Canada. tan immigration to the head During the winter month the head of the family consults with the other members and assesses for the Friday and doubtless one of the most interacting topics discussed is that of moving to some district where it is possible to more easily secure what is necessary for a comfortable existence, where it is an easy matter to become possessed of sufficient farm land to assure a competence for the future. This, not only interests the head of the family, but every individual member of it. Having before me the knowledge where he can secure a home with the expenditure of but little money, it is well for him to obtain all information possible regarding the productiveness of the land in the country that he may select. For several years past a large number of Americans have removed to Western Canada, and as nearly as it can be ascertained almost all of these have expressed themselves satisfied with the conditions that exist there. During the past summer a number of the editors of farm papers throughout the United States made a personal visit on a tour of inspection and the reports of these gentlemen prove intereating reading. Mr. H. I2. Heath, editor of the "Nebraska Farmer," a paper enjoining a wide circulation as well as the confidence of its sub scribbers, after giving some idea of the extent of this wonderful country says: "Western Canada is the last unoccupied and unimproved good agril cultural land in America available today." He then discusses its possibilities for raising live stock and the advan tages it possesses for dairying, farming and wheat groying, and says "What has been said about the coun try as to the ability of the soil, the yield of wonderful crops of wheat is quite justified." To quote further from Mr. Heath he says, referring to climate: "These people (skeptical ones) do not know or realize that altitude more than latitude makes climates; that large bodies of water, both fresh and salt, that never freeze over, exert a wonderful influence on climate. Another influence on climate, more potent than those named above which applies more to the Alberta tundra than to the Pacific ocean, which is 600 or 700 miles nearer to Colorado or Wyoming, besides the Rocky Mount tain range is not nearly so high nor that extreme the ocean as it is down in the States. "In further considering the climate of the Canadian prairies, we should not lose sight of the fact of the in fluence of the rains; the total aver age rainfall for the season is but 13.35 inches for the territories, and 17.34 inches for the amounts falling between April 1st and October 1st are respectively 9.39 inches and 12.87 inches or about three fourths of the entire rainfall. From the middle of June to the middle of July there are over two hours more daylight in every twenty-four hour period. This is the reason why Western Canada wheat grows to such perfection is the effect of solar light, or longer period of sunshine it gets each day. This is what makes seeds or grain more perfect grown in this country than elsewhere. This extraordinary rapid growth of this long, continued sunshine exceeds any thing known in lower latitudes. "We do not wish it understood that wheat alone is the main product of this country; it leads in that, yet it is desired to become famous for its cattle, horses and sheep and for its dairy products. We saw more and larger bands of cattle and sheep grazing in Assinibola and Alberta than we saw, on the western side of the country, in the band of cattle numbering 5,000 head were grazing on the rich grass, and sheep without number." The government of the Dominion of Canada is still using the same care gette efforts which have been used, for the past 5 or 6 years to settle up these western prairie lands for application of the Canadian Government the settler will be able to secure a certificate entitling him to a low rate which will give him the opportunity of visiting any portion of Canada's grain producing domain.

LAND FORCES ARE CLOSING IN Japanese Reported to Have Executed a Korean Spy—Vivid Account of the Japanese to Block Port Arthur Harbor. London, April 1.—The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Seoul reports that there is continues skirmishing between Ping Yang and Wuji and that many Japanese have been killed. The correspondent adds that a Korean spy at Ping Yang has been shot by the Japanese. London April 1.—A correspondent of the Times at sea in a wireless telegram wint at the time, describing the action of the Japanese to bottles up Port Arthur, says; "The moon disappeared at midnight and the sea was like glass when the desperate enterprise was begun. When the desperate enterprise was mobilized motions of a searchlight showed that suspicion had been awakened and suddenly a solitary gun announced that the Japanese had been discovsed the gun of the batteries and in three minutes the Japanese craft were in a semi-circle of gun flashes. The sea was churned to a turm by firing the gun of the batteries into the batteries. The torpedo boats opened out and the transports with men standing at the life boats steered directly into the inferno. There was only a mile and a safety and the safety fuses were ready. "It was just at 3:30 in the morning when the Chiyo Maru, led—with a searchlight trained upon her and she was a target for a hundred guns—to the firing range. The fuses were set and the crew pushed off just in time. It was a moment of suspense. The charge exploded, sinking her one hundred yards from a point off the east side of the entrance. The port side of the Chiyo Maru and dropped anchor. Just as the officers and crew pushed clear there was a dull explosion. She had been struck and sunk in the exact place which the charge was by a torpedo from within the harbor. "So close were the defending destroyers that the Yenamaya Maru was fouled by a Russian destroyer and her crew was scorched by the flames of the discharge from a Russian six "It was a horrible meiie, but the Japanese kept their presence of mind throughout and their steadiness was shown by the fact that before she had jumped, she had been pushed by the Yencama Maru passed to starboard of the Chlyo Maru and then between her and the Fukui Maru and reached the center of the channel, where she lay on the west side of the channel, her bow pointing toward the shore. Not a man of the transport crews was drowned. "The attempt failed to block the channel completely because there were only four transports. It is probable, however, that the channel has been rendered impracticable for the large battleships and it is certain that the Japanese will not rest until the The maneuver was covered by a torpedo division which, running in close endeavored to draw the fire of the land batteries from the main enterprise. This division remained in action until all the crews were rescued and just before daybreak was engaged a Russian destroyer which remained in the water during the night. The screams of escaping steam, proclaimed that the Russian boat had been damaged in her vitals. "At daybreak the flotilla drew off under cover of the cover, which was waiting ten miles outside." DISTRUST THE CHINESE. Russian Editor Warns Powers of China's Neutrality. St. Petersburg, April 1.—In connection with the activity of the Chinese along the Shan-Hal-Kwan railroad, the Bourse Gazzette warns the powers of the unrelenting Chinese to believe they are making a serious mistake, declaring that the celestials are going to astonish the world when the world least expects it. The Gazette further declares it to be necessary to take action to strengthen the pressure a Pekin in order to compete the non-participation of China in the war, and concludes: "Russia cannot forever play the solitary dog of civilization in the far east." The Nove Merva advises the government to protest against the violation of the Geneva convention in the hoisting of the Red Cross flags to protect the Japanese troops in the fight The Russ thinks Marine Minister Yamamoto's speech Tuesday nast before the Japanese parliament about the war in Syria, and then thur, was designed to throw the Russians off their guard and believes the Japanese will do everything in their power to stop the war.

Technicality in Sentence May Extend Time to Live Chicago, April 1.—Semiingly a bungle in the sentence of the car bombings, Marx, Nicodermeil and Van Dyne, confronted the state's attorney's office yesterday. The state's attorney set for hamping must not be earlier than the tenth day of the next term of the state supreme court, nor later than the twelfth. April 22, the date on which police to be hanged, will be the twelfth-seventh day of the supreme court. The problem with which the state attorney and his assistants were wrestling yesterday was the fact that the state had also had an effective way to make the correction before Saturday. Before any action could be taken by the state's attorney, application was made yesterday for writs of habeas corpus in behalf of the bands. The writs were issued by Judge Custram, and were made returnable Monday. VIRGIN MARY The lion that is to be carried by the Russian army in Manchuria is the most sacred of the Kremlin's treasures.

Tokio, March 30.—The special diet concluded its labors yesterday, finally passing the series of war taxes for the measures proposed by the government. It will finally adjourn today. Almost the entire financial program submitted by the cabinet will be approved, although several changes were made. The amount to be raised annually by taxation was reduced from $34,000,000 to $31,000,000. The government plans to make up the effect thereby created in the annual census. Another change in the program was the refusal to sanction the creation of a salt monopoly. An interesting feature of the financial legislation is the passage of an act authorizing the banks to issue savings prize debentures. The total issue of the bank is $15,000,000 per year. The rate of interest and use amount of prizes under a lottery drawing scheme are limited. The whole plan ends when the war is over. The government has the right to borrow the money realized by the sale of the savings prize debentures. The amount and redemption of the debentures is entirely in the hands of the banks. London, March 31. The Japanese legation has received the following report from Tokio of the fighting at Chong Ju, Corea, Monday. The legation has received four of our cavalry and infantry forces occupied Chong Ju after defeating the enemy. The enemy, who numbered about six hundred men retreated in the direction of Wuji. Our casualties were four killed, Captain Kurokawa and twelve others wounded of the cavalry force. There were no casualties among our infantry. Two dead bodies were left by the enemy on the field, but it is reported that some seven or eight were killed. The enemy was promptly carried off by the enemy on horseback or by ambulance. The Russians were seen conveying in an ambulance two dead men, apparently officers, and blood stained bandages were found scattered around. The enemy had lost losses at least equal to our own." St. Petersburg, March 31.—A later official dispatch from General Mishtekenko reports that on the authority of inhabitants of Chong Ju the Japanese lost forty men killed, 100 men wounded and a number of horses during the fighting there Monday. The Japanese bearers of 500 Korean bearers carry their wounded to Anjin. General Mishtekenko adds that Captain Stopanoff, who was among the Russian wounded, is dead. London, March 31.—The Telegraph says the Japanese authorities have refused correspondents the use of the field telegraph lines, and that all dispatches, must be sent to Tokio by mail. The paper says the Japanese will be permitted to re to the front, though the native newspaper men will be allowed to go. The Telegraph, in an editorial on the unprocedured severity of this censorship, suggests that Japan has some new and important move to address the situation, a portion of her forces already in gear for some other point in the theater of war, and is anxious to guard against the possibility of leakage through foreign correspondents who might sympathize with Russia.

SENATOR BURTON IS FOUND GUILTY HARD FOUGHT TRIAL ENDED Motion for a New Trial Was Immediately Filed—Charges Against Burton Was That of Accepting Compensation to Protect Corporation. St. Louis, Mo., March 29—Joseph Ralph Burton, senior United States Senator from Kansas, was convicted by a jury in the United States district court yesterday on the charge of having accepted compensation to protect the interests of the Rialto Grain and Securities company of St. Louis before the postoffice department. The jury deliberated forty-one hours. A motion for a new trial was immediately filed by the counsel for the senator. Judge Adams thereupon ordered that Senator Burton appear in court either in person or by proxy at 10 o'clock from day to day, with the arguments for a new trial, and if decided against him, to fix his punishment. If yesterday's verdict is sustained Senator Burton will lose his seat in the senate and forever be prohibited from holding a public trust. Senator Burton constitutes a separate offense and Senator Burton could receive a penitentiary sentence of two years or a $10,000 fine on each count. Senator Burton's conviction is the first of the three counts that was enacted by congress in 1864. Senator Burton was indicted in January last. Although as a member of the Senate, he was indicted until after that body was adjourned, he voluntarily surrendered himself to the prosecuting authorities. He still had two years to serve in the senate. BRYAN LOSES WILL CASE. Court's Decision Costs Lincoln Man Just $50,000 New Haven, Conn., April 1—A decision rejecting as evidence the "sealed letter" by witch william J. Bryan was to be given $50,000 from the estate of the late Philo S. Bennett, was given yesterday by Judge Gagger in the superior court, when the hearing on Mr. Bryan's appeal from the decision of the probate court declining to admit the "sealed letter" to probate was deemed inappropriate in character and therefore came within the stale governing wills, which demands that every paper that is codified or testimony must be attested by three witnesses. He holds that the admission of the sealed letter would override the judgment that nothing descriptive in the will except this phase "the sealed letter which will be found with my will."

A. well-known actor was telling his s:teen-year-old son, whom he considers very immature and young for his age, that he ought to be doing something for his glory and grim try. "Why when George Washington was your age, you was hurling at the mouth of Lord Falrask. The boy thought a moment, then he replied, quietly: "Well, when he was as old as you, he was the President of the United States." In Florence, lately, one of several Italian ladies who were entertaining Mark Twain, asked what was the American national game. "Poker," he responded. When she laughingly protested that he was facetious, he gravely reiterated his statement, added: "Madame, the most polite human people owe the most valuable lesson a nation can learn: Never give up, even after you have lost your last chance." "Sardou represents a distinct type of the drama which he originated," said a pupil in Brander Matthews' dramatic literature class at Columbia University. "What type do you offer?" asked Professor Matthews. "Theatrical plays closely packed with interest mark the Sardine drama," replied the young man, promptly and earnestly. "Young man," laughed the professor, "with a cen-opener you may yet evolve the great American play." "I am disinterested," said Senator Foster recently; "I'll never give money to a street beggar again as long as I live." He moved in the avenue, a few minutes ago, and, my heart going out to him, I stopped to hard him a few small coins. I had some difficulty.

Broadland, S. D. March 28—Qitea a sensation has been created here by the publication of the story of G. W. Gray who, after a special treatment for three months was prostrate and helpless and given up to die with Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has always been considered incurable, but evidently from the story told by M. Gray the disease will even in the most advanced stages. This is what he says: "I was helpless as a little babe. My wife and I searched everything and read everything we could find about Bright's Disease, hoping that I would be able to find a remedy. After many failures my wife insisted that I should try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I praise God for the day when I decided to do go for this remedy not every phase of my case and in a short time I was able to get treatment. I received treatment I was a strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life." A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the most wonderful discovery which modern medical research has given to the world.

Miss Agnes Miller, of Chicago, speaks to young women about dangers of the Menstrual Period how to avoid pain and suffering and remove the cause by using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "To Young Women:—I suffered for six years with dysmenorrhea (painful periods), so much so that I dreaded every month, as I knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds. If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at this critical time, much sufferer, would be spared them. Thank God for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that was the only medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished considerably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and I feel light and happy."—Miss Agnes Miller, 25 Potomac Ave., Chicago, Ill.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has greatly benefitted me. I will tell you how I suffered. My trouble was painful menstruation. I felt as each month went by that I was getting worse.

He also fled a similar statement from his deputy, Max Beeshler, who is in Chicago, and who claims to be too ill A.A. No action was taken by the committee and none will be taken until some time next week. Mr. Merriam denies many of the claims, especially that made by the New Haven company, that an examination was made by placing a card under the door. He admits having charged mileage from Des Moines and retread even when the towns were near each other, because of succession and without return to Des Moines. He claims he was justified in this by the statutes. He denies that he made such charges in the case of more than one company, when they w-re in the same city. He denies that the fees received by him during his four years of office amounted to about $25,000. APPRCPRIATIONS ARE HIER. Senate Appropriations Committee Makes Final Report. Des Moines, March 29.—The senate appropriations committee yesterday completed its final recommendations to the legislature. The action of the committee on the State university was kept for the last thing, action being taken in the afternoon. So much pressure had been brought on the legislature by the friends of the State university. The committee would yield and increase the allowance for the Iowa City institution. The first allowance had been $120, 000. The committee did raise this sum somewhat and allowed the university to pay the $75,000. An allowance is made for the engineering department, although small, indicating the committee has receded from its position of permitting the taking of the engineering department away from the university. The $75,500 and the State Normal gets $3,000. The total appropriations recommended approximate almost $2,000,000. At its disposal, the state has $1,800,000 for the general fee revenue of about $300,000, making a total of about $1,700,000. The ways and means committee in the face of these appropriations, is face the same state budget. The state size of increasing the levy, although some means of avoiding this may be discovered.

Charges Cedar Rapids Gazette With Unjustly Attacking Him. Cedar Rapids, March 31.—The Hon. Thomas Berkilebe, one of the best known attorneys in this city, has filed papers with the county clerk, bringing action against the Cedar Rapids Gazette in behalf of his client, Fred H. Gaston, boy born in The Gazette, assigned with having made a malicious and wholly unwarranted attack upon Mr. Gaston's character as a newspaper correspondent, based upon a private telegraph addressed to one of its reporters, which was wholly misleading on account of necessary information of the attack grew out of the tuec that the Republican "scopsed" the Gazette, on the stories to which reference was made in the telegraph and that the Gazette vented its spleen by indirectly denouncing the stories as false under the guise of an assault upon Mr. Gaston. NO STATE PRIMARY LAW. Senate Turns Down the Crossley Bill. Des Moines, March 31—No state primary law for Iowa. Friends of the measure locked horns on use subject in the senate yesterday afternoon and this was the first note in the discourse. The final vote on the Crossbill bill was 19 years and 25 mays, with six absent or not voting. Senator Crossley, author of the bill, would have been willing to accept a compromise making the law optional, but such friends of the bill as Senator Crossley were opposed to this unwilling to accept anything but a state-wide primary law. Now, the senate will be called upon to take action on the house primary law which was introduced by Representative English and which has been approved by the house. This law applies only to Polk county. Russia Purchases Iowa Draft Horses. Oksaloska, March 30—One hundred draft horses were sent from here yesterday and thence to Russia.

Des Moines, April 1—State officers, members of the general assembly of lowa, supreme and state courts, city and town officials, and delegates to politi- cal conventions may still ride on free transportation where such transportation is obtainable. This is the verdict of the lowa senate which yesterday banned the adoption of the adoption of several amendments and then killed it by a vote of 24 to 17. The original vote on the measure was 25 to 16, lacking one of being a constitutional majority, and Senator Hughes changed his vote to may with the hope of securing enough to pass the bill on reconsideration. The discussion on the measure at the hands of the senators yesterday morning developed the first real lively interest in that body. Senators of the principal counties in the Burlington reservation, came out in the firm stand against the bill as an evil which should not be incorporated in the statutes of the county. The senators ridden on more than three hundred miles of free transportation in his life and could therefore not be accused of any ulterior motive in opposing the bill. It was ground that, if adopted the anti-pass law would result in separating the corporations and the common people and create a breach which would result in more evil than the issuance of free transportation by the common people, the acceptance of a pass by a member of the legislature or any other officer campaigning was no worse than the acceptance of the hospitality of the home of the farmer when the camper drove himself in the hearts of the voters. Senator Hughes pleaded in vain that the pass evil is one of the greatest abroad n the land, although he spoke to the question directly several times. Various senators aired their views as different amendments were offered and either adopted or voted down. The amendments which destroyed the entire force of the bill were those incorporated in the first two sections of the measure. They were similar. One of these provided that the pass should not be issued where there was evidence to show that it was given to corrupt the officials receiving it, and the other prohibited its being accepted when there was evidence of the same character. These amendments were adopted by a close vote. The vote was as follows: Yeas—Brooks, Crossley, Dowell, Dunham, Eckles, Elerick, Ericson, Gilliland, Harper, Hartshorn, Hogue, Hughes, Jones, Kimmel, Kinne, Lewis, Maytag, Newberry, Smith of Mitchell, Stirton, Turner, Warren, Wilson of Clinton, Young of Calhoun, Young of Washington—24. Nays—Bleakly, Courtright, Crawford, Gale, Hasselquist, Hopkins, Jackson, Jamison, Lambert, Saunders, Smith of Des Moines, Stookey, Stuckslager, Taylor, Winnie, Young of Leo PRIMARY BILL PASSES. Measure of Representative English is Indented by the House Des Moines, March 30.—The house of representatives yesterday passed the primary bill for Polk county by a vote of 64 to 10. All amendments were rejected except those offered by Representative English who was the author and also in charge of the measure. Representative English called on his representative bill late in the afternoon of yesterday's session of the house. He explained its need here calling attention to the notorious character of the republican primarier in Des Moines and urged that members vote for the measure without reference to their general views on state politics. He also urged that remedy a serious political situation in a single community. The law will apply only to counties of over 75,000 population. It was explained to Representative Davie and others who were inclined to object to the measure that the law would impose a primary time to change his politics and register if he saw fit. Representative Teter offered an amendment to fix the assessments to which candidates before primaries will be entitled to pay the bill which he was unable to get the elections committee to report out for passage. The amendment required statements of expenditures by candid dates. It was defeated. The bill was then passed by the Senate. BANK CASHIER ENDS LIFE. H. G. Davison of Fenton Sends Bullet Through Head.

City Merchant Complaints of the Brevalence of Disloanesty "The old saying that nothing is too small to steal is exemplified in our business," said a manufacturer of custom-made clothing. "Our thread gives us lots of trouble. We have to keep a watchful eye upon it. The case in which it is kept is under the supervision of our most trusted employee. If he chose to be dishonest he could rob us of $5,000 a year and we would be none the wiser. We would be more careful when we using more thread than usual, but the excess might be attributed to other causes. "We have to check out every spool we give to our tailors. Even at this we are in danger of having a cheaper grade substituted. The difference in the price of the spools may be only one or two cents, but it offers a temptation if the scheme can be worked on a large scale. Some years ago we were forced to the conclusion that a 'fence' was being operated to dispose of stolen thread. The spools were sold by peddlers from house to house. This suspicion caused large establishments to have each spool stamped with dyes which cut into the fence. A spool was stolen from such and such a shop, the name of which was stamped on the spool."
