Therefore we give our many readers a brief history of this wonderful musical prodigy. He was born at Miami, Saline county, Mo., in the federal camp in 1864. His mother was a contraband cooking for the soldiers. He lost his sight from brain fever when only 6 months old. His first instruments of music were a French harp and tin whistle. He could play anything after once having heard it. Some of his enthusiastic friends sent him to the school for the blind at St. Louis. Here he heard a piano and would not learn anything except music. He was sent back to his home in Columbia, Mo., where John Lang, taking a liking to him, put him in his Sunday school as pianist. Later he made a contract with his mother to educate him in music and put him on the road, and for the past twenty-nine years they have succeeded, having played in foreign countries before kings, crown heads, presidents and other dignitaries. Mr. Lang, his manager, is one of the livest and most active race men to meet, notwithstanding that a few years ago the Bystander reported him dead. He is a very agreeable man to meet. We are sorry that we could not secure his cut. MISS EMMA SMITH. Miss Smith is the soprano with Blind Boone Co. She has been with them six years and is a Kansas City girl, a graduate of the Lincoln high school. *Ireasurer the Iowa Baptist State Convention. "Des Moines. Jan. 6. 1909." Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 4, 1909. Mr. E. F. Sperry, City. Dear Sir: At one of the services of the Corinthian Baptist church yesterday, a large number of the members being present, it was voted unanimously to request of you as treasurer of the Iowa State Baptist convention, with whom we have transacted all business pertaining to the purchase of and repairing of the present church property, to furnish us for publication a statement of our business relations from the time of the purchase of this property to the present time. I trust it will be possible for you to comply with this request. By order of the church, Mrs. J. H. Brown, Clerk. E. F. Sperry, treasurer of the Iowa Baptist State convention, has issued the following statement concerning the financial condition of the Corinthian Baptist church: "To whom it may concern: In compliance with the request of the Corinthian Baptist church of Des Moines, the following statement is made: July 8, 1904, by the use of funds furnished by the Iowa Baptist State convention, said church purchased its present church property, through the understated attorney in fact, at a cost of $3,550. Dec. 1, 1904, the church gave a mortgage on the property to said state convention for $2,750, the difference, including interest, having been paid. The interest has been paid promptly semi-annually, and credit made on the principal until Sept. 20, 1908, there remained but $775 paid. Of the money applied on the property $600 came from the sale of their old church property, and $500 from the Callanart estate (there is yet $500 due from said estate). During the summer of 1908, over $800 was expended in improvements on the property and Sept. 30, 1908, a new mortgage was given to said state convention for $1,500, which amount represents the entire indentedness of said Corinthian Baptist church, on property easily worth $9,000 for church purposes. "E. F. Sperry, M. OUR NEW GOVERNOR. The above cut is that of Hon. Beryl F. Carroll of Bloomfield, Iowa, the newly elected governor who was inaugurated governor yesterday. Mr. Carroll ANSWERS THE SUMMONS. Word was received in this city last week announcing the death of Mrs. J. C. Berry of Jersey City, New Jersey, the wife of John C. Berry. It will be remembered by those who lived here fourteen years ago, that this family consisted of husband, wife and two beautiful daughters. The deceased took an active part in church and social life, and hundreds of friends, who will mourn her death, will recall the social greetings in her hospitable home, as well as the christian influence which overshadowed one while in her presence. The remains of her oldest daughter, Alice, who passed away last June was placed in a vault; so the mother and daughter were layed to rest at the same time a few days ago in the New Bedford, Mass., cemetery. Mrs. Berry was a teacher in the public schools in her native state before her marriage. She looked on this life as a place to to help humanity, and was active until consumption, that dreaded disease, carried her to the grave beyond. While she is dead she will ever live in the memory of a host of friends. ENTERPRISE NEWS Mrs. Ella Swann left last Saturday for Memphis, Tenn., to visit her,sister, Johnetta Green.

It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investment into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life—first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then write Mr. Dawes is the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them Little Things That Tell. Little Things That Tell Us As has been often shown, it is little things that tell. A two-cent postage stamp does not represent a large out lay. Yet in times of depression personal and business correspondence falls off, the result being a large decrease in the purchase of stamps and a corresponding diminution of postal revenue. This rule is illustrated in the late report of the postmaster general. His department would have taken in several million dollars more but for the "panic" of last fall. And the head of a large cotton-tread mill cites another instance, and one that would not be revealed to those with less opportunity for observation. He says a pointer is to be found in the decrease of the sale of darning yarn. The average American woman, he declares, will not darn stockings when the need of economy passes by. The statement is confirmed by the proprietor of a department store in New York, who reports he has noted the working of the rule among his customers, says the Troy (N. Y.) Times. They can afford to buy more and better stockings and to wear them undarned. So good times have come and the "panic" is over. Emperor William, held down by a parsimonious government to an income of $10,000,000 a year, is said by some to be in financial straits and suffering at times for the necessities of life. It must be hard on an emperor who has worked for years kaisering in distriously at all hours of the day and night to hear his children crying for breakfast food and automobiles and private circuses and not be able fully to supply the demand. An ordinary man living in a modest way in a flat with an income of that size could pay his rent, settle with the iceman, the gasman, the telephone man, the milkman and still have a trifle left for amusements. With the kaiser it is different. He couldn't live in such a modest way and still make his blush good. If he were to say, after turning over the problem in his mind, "Mother we will shit up fourteen or fifteen palaces and move into a flat next year to see if we can't save a few millions for a showy day," the people would beagin looking for another ruler who felt he was amply able to owe it no matter how large the deficit. About the time the trustees of the University of Minnesota were adopting a rule that professors in that institution who reach the age of 65 must retire, on the ground that their services are of lessened value, distinguished men in London were assembled to do honor to Lord Ripon, who recently signed from the cabinet at the age of 81, after having been in public life at most continuously since 1852, and were regretting his retirement. Lord Asquith said of him: "When other hearts have failed and other feet have hagged, and other men's courage has grown faint and dim, he was always in the forefront of the fight." It is said of him also that at 81 he is an incurable youth. It seems likely, remarks the Indianapolis Star, that with these attributes Lord Ripon, were he a professor in Minnesota university, would be a valuable quantity there even now. A man's usefulness depends something upon what he is, as well as upon his years. Up to 1880 applications for patents were accompanied by models; since then mechanical drawings have taken the place of the models. Wide-spread publicity was given to a report that the great accumulation of models in the patent office, over a hundred and fifty thousand in number, was to be destroyed. The report, of course, was groundless. The models are a precious record; but the patent office is a working institution, and the old models are not of practical value in the important labors of the office. Therefore, as is quite right, the models are to be kept in the new National museum, which will soon be completed. This is the list of mile records for speed made by land travelers: Electric locomotive, 27 seconds, 1903; automobile, 28½ seconds, 1906; steam locomotive, 32 seconds, 1893; motor-paced cycle, 1 minute, 6-15 seconds, 1904; bicycle, unpaced, 1 minute, 49-2 seconds, 1904; running horse, 1 minute, 55½ seconds, 1890; pacing horse, 1 minute, 55 seconds, 1906; trotting horse, 1 minute, 58½ seconds, 1905; man, skating, 2 minutes, 36 seconds, 1906; man, running, 4 minutes, 12½ seconds, 1887; man, walking, 6 minutes, 23 seconds, 1890. Some young doctor at the head of an infant's science academy says the mother is the worst enemy of the baby. We should take our chances, however, if we had to be a baby again, with a real live mother as against a patent incubator. One of the great works of the bureau of manufactures of the department of commerce and labor is to assist American manufacturers by information that will increase the export trade. That work has been well done. A trenchant remark of the New York judge who observed, in handing out a sentence to a chauffeur who had run into somebody, that these high-powered and refractory machines seem to be tractable enough when the chauffeur is about to run into a trolley car or a load of rocks. For one ancient Chinese rug J. Pierpont Morgan is reported to have paid $75,000. This indicates again what forestance and economy in early life will permit later on. Iowa State News Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. LIQUOR FOES SPLIT. Election of W. C. Barber Causes NO EVIDENCES OF POISON. Dean Howard had Been Sufferer from Heart Trouble. Break in Hanks. Des Moines.-All the old animosity between the prohibition party and the anti-saloon league broke out afresh at the state convention of the constitutional amendment federation when W.

The representatives of the anti-saloon league, the W. C. T. U., the intercollegiate association, and the state reform bureau were left in possession of the field and Superintendent Barber was unanimously elected secretary.

Captain Louis was a veteran of the civil war, where he won the distinction of captain. He represented Shelby county in the state legislature in the twenty-fourth general assembly.

Hard Luck for Horse This. Knoxville—To sleep in his cell at the Fort Madison penitentiary one night and in the Marion county jail the next night was the fate of Joe Anderson, a negro horse thief, who was brought here by herder Wiffon. Anderson is a bad man, with a horse stealing record in Missouri and Illinois, as well as in Iowa. It is known that he was a slave in Missouri state penitentiary and that he has disposed of many stolen horses at Galesburg and elsewhere in 37.500 In Council Bluffs. Council Bluffs—According to the estimate of the new Council Bluffs city directory, the population of the city is 37,500. The directory contains 15,000 names, which number 15,000 names of children and married women, not included in the directory, gives the estimated population. The publisher's website shows a steady condition of growth, prosperity and happiness. Frata Ousted. Council Bluffs—Driven to action by the death of a high school student recently as a result of an initiation into a Greek letter society, the board of education has ousted all secret societies from the schools. Such reorganization leads to disband and all students in the Council Bluffs schools are ordered to discontinue membership and sever their connection with such societies before February 1. $200 For Iowa Corn Prize. Mason City—Owen T. Denison of this city has offered a premium of $200 for the best yield of corn raised in 1909 on ten acres in Cerro Gordo county. The premium will be awarded $100 for the best ten ears, $80 for the best twelve ears, $60 for the best $15 for the fourth best, and $10 for the fifth best. It is a unique plan of Mr. Denison to stimulate the farmers to more thorough cultivation of corn. Alhion Church Dedicated. Albion.—The new $2,000 Methodist church at Albion was dedicated Jan. 10. Rev. A. C. Bishop of Iowa Falls preached the sermon. For a small town the church is far above the average, and would do credit to a small city. The building is constructed of concrete blocks, trimmed with cement, and the interior is enclosed in oak. Stele His Sister's Ring. Marshallown.—Because no stole his sister's wedding ring and pawned it for whisky, George W. Hughes was sent to jail in justice court, here. Mrs. Nina Meeker, Hughes' sister, caused the arrest, and placed a value of $10 on the ring. NO EVIDENCES OF POISON. Dean Howard had been Sufferer from Heart Trouble. Des Moine...After a week's investigation as to the cause of the death of Dean Frederick Howard, the coroner's jury delivered for but five minutes returned an open verdict. The verdict stated that in the opinion of the jury not enough evidence had been produced to show that death was due to the poison. Conner Newlen said that the investigation is at an end as far as he is concerned. All of the evidence taken at the final hearing went to show that Dean Howard was afflicted with heart trouble and this and not morphine was the cause of his sudden death. Dr. Eil Grimes, who was present at the autopsy conducted by Dr. Hoeve, testified that in his opinion the musician did not from poisoning but from apoplexy or heart failure. Dr.ugh Welpman who had formerly been the medical adviser of Dean Howard, in a sworn statement made before Coroner Newlen stated that the Dean was afflicted with angina pectoris; a very serious form of heart trouble. Subscriptions Are Completed Three Months Ahead. Hopkington—Lenox college has just spring into new prominence, not only by its success in securing $100,000 new endowment, but especially by the manner in which this feat was achieved. Active work began less than a year ago, and Jan. 1993 was made the time and it had been made more and settled more than three months before that date, and the money raisers are now busy at other projects. This unusual condition has been heeded by the church papers and has given the college unexpected notoriety. Another point which is quite unusual was that the subscriptions were of such a character that they could be at once turned into a check. Mr. Carnegie promised his check according to his previous promise. Other colleges have had to wait months and even years for a satisfactory adjustment with him. HAMPTON BEET CROP 82 CARS. Care Averaged Fifteen Tone -Sent to Worstly Sugar Factory Waverley Hampton. This town has this year shipd a ZZZ of cars to bea, averaging 15 tons to the car, to the factory at Waverley.

The total expense was $159.50, and the total income $244.94, making a net profit from five acres of $85.44, or an average $124.94. The beef acreage in this vicinity the coming season will be much larger than ever before. One firm will put in between one and two hundred acres. SHOOTS EYES OUT OF PIGS. Two Young Incorrigibles of Harvey Lodged in Jail. Knoxville—Eddie Morgan and Harry Sells, two young incribibles from Harvey, in the east part of the county, were brought to town and lodged in the hold-over at the court house on a charge of burglarizing Mahafey's restaurant at Harvey. The boys, the oldest of whom is 14 years, pried off a back door of the restaurant Tuesday night and entered, carrying a gunny sack, into the room. Morgan and cigar. Morgan is absolutely incribible. One of his pastimes, has been that of shooting the eyes out of his neighbor's pigs or of filling their hides full of shot, "just to hear 'em squew." Gambler's Den In Iowa Church. "Gambier's Den in Iowa Church." Emmetburg—it has just leaked out that the janitor of the church's chapel has discovered within the sacred precincts of the church edifice. Far up among the rafters of the roof a platform had been built, making a nuggle little room, which had been fitted up with tables, chairs, etc., and plentifully supplied with cards, tobacco, books and magazines. The conspirators also had a private means of entrance cleverly hid among the posts and rafters, and the result was a cosy little den, secure by reason of its isolation and the solemn quiet of the church. Heppurn to Drop Contest. Creaton—Differences of opinion among Col. W. W. P. Hephurn's friends, relative to the advisability of continuing the contest against Congressman-elect W. D. Jamieson, have practically resulted in a decision to withdraw the contest. The Eighth district republican congressional committee met in Creaton and after hearing the sub-committees' report decided to forward it to Hepburn for his consideration. Allison Library to People. Dubuque—The private library of the late Senator William B. Allison was turned over to the use of the public in the local Carnegie-Stout Library institution by Mrs. Brayton, late housekeeper of Senator Allison, to whom it was left in his will. There are 5,000 volumes of well selected works. Fee System is Eliminated. Council Bluffs - The evils of the fee system are to be eradicated of county affairs are to be eradicated in Potawatamie county from this time on. The county board of supervisors at its last session adopted a system of salary compensation for all officers and their deputies. BIENNIAL MESSAGE GOV. WARREN GARST SUBMITS THE BIENNIAL MESSAGE. 33rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY The Governor Presents Many Important Subjects for the Legislators' Consideration. Dna. Motosa—The blenial message of Gov. Warren Garst to the Thirty-third General Assembly of Iowa is a very interesting document covering a great many questions of public interest. He congratulates the assembly on the favorable conditions under which they assemble. "Peace and tranquility in both state and national life bring about a condition encouraging to the best possible work on the part of a legislative body. "The financial transactions of the state show that the actual receipts of the state for the fiscal period contained in the amounted to $7,247,075, of which $4,054,876 was derived from the state levy. The treasurer reports a balance on hand of $644,189. "The estimated receipts of the state, as computed by the state auditor, will be for the biennial period ending June 30, 1911, about $7,605,400. By offsetting this with the regular continuing appropriations and all appropriations made and not yet expended it is estimated that there will be available for extraordinary appropriations above $1,500,000. Our review comments on the "principle of legal regulation of party nominations", and banishment of the political pass and direct corporation activity in politics. "But regeneration of political methods has been only a part. There has been honest effort, with what success may well be left to the future, to improve all our laws, and especially those which touch our industrial and business life. This has led to modifying and strengthening the laws with reference to corporations, railroads, drainage, transportation and kindred matters; preservation of the public health as by requiring pure food, safety appliances, limiting the hours of labor and regulating child labor; acceptance of a code that all experience has shown to be the best adapted to reformation of evil doers; encouragement of agricultural and industrial education and support of fairs and expositions; adapting school laws to modern needs; aid has been given the poor victim of drug and drug treatment that has been provided for consumptives; and the too long delayed publication of a roster of Iowa soldiers has been commenced." Improvement of the approaches to the state capitol is recommended, for which an appropriation of $150,000 is mentioned. The capitol is too small to provide the proper offices for the state employees in Des Moines, "we should therefore have that heat at an agricultural, industrial and military hall. There should be ample offices for the department of agriculture, with its allied bureaus dealing with dairying, horticulture, stock breeding, veterinary, pure food and crop service; the commissioner of labor, mine inspectors and geological board, board of marine board and marine board; the headquarters of the Iowa National guard and a commodious armory." Codification and revision of our school laws is necessary. More land for the campus and a women's building is needed at the state university. New buildings are needed at the state agricultural school to properly care for the 1900 and more students there. Greater facilities for the training of teachers at the state normal school and possibly another normal school established. The historical building should be completed and decorated. The state traveling army is commended and should be amply supported. Law governing the saloons and livery traffic should be strengthened and provisions made whereby they can be more easily enforced. The recommendation of the attorney general that the state legal department be reorganized is endorsed and special attention called to it. The authority of the state railroad commission should be extended over telephone and telegraph lines as much as over other common carriers, and in "some measure over the public utilities of the state such as street car lines, where women and elective places, but care must be exercised that there is left with the municipalities sufficient power for the proper police regulation of these private enterprises. Matters purely local must be left to the local communities." An attorney, giving his entire time, should represent the state in all matters in controversy concerning public service corporations. The world's population averages 109 females to every 100 males, while eightinch of the sudden war, by accidents, etc., are of males. A Japanese student at Harvard, while out for a stroll, was accosted by a sophomore with the inquiry, "What's your name?" The gentleman from Japan answered politely, giving his surname. "Oh," rejoined the questioner, "you heathens don't have but one name I see." "What was the other name of Moses?" was the reply. Chinese decorators use brushes made of spun glass, as fine and soft as silk. Mirrors mentioned in the Old Testament were of highly polished plates of copper or tin. The captain of a coasting steamer which was wrecked near Sydney, N. S. W, died life-lines to some pigs which formed a part of the cargo. These, on being the on overboard, quickly swam away and finally found communication being thus established, every person on board was rescued. Reads should be scientifically con-structed and maintained and a special appropriation is recommended. The department of agriculture should be encouraged to come into the most intimate relationship with the people of the state and to become the avenue through which is collected all information regarding agricultural resources and dissemination of such information where it will be most valuable. The value of the state fair, as a great summer school of agriculture and industry, cannot be overestimated. A fireproof amphitheater should be built. The board of control is commended and its recommendations should be carefully considered. There are now more than 5,500 person cared for and more than 1,300 employees are under the direction of the board. Some changes are needed in the primary election law, and provision made for the expense of elections and a uniformity in the printing of the bills. In order to better facilitate the work of the state departments, a year arrangement and grouping of related departments is recommended. The state insurance department should be independent and under the management of a superintendent. A commission should be appointed to investigate our method of taxation and report to the next general assembly. Mortgages should pay a small filing fee in lieu of all other taxes. Corporations should pay an annual fee. A direct inheritance tax is recommended. An annual license fee of $1,200 should be made against all saloons, the amount equally divided between the city, county and state. National banks in the state should be assessed and taxed the same as state or savings banks. Trust companies should be organized and adequate laws made to safeguard them. Many pardons have been granted to convicts and fines remitted, names of pardons now asking for pardon submitted to the general assembly. The board of parole should consider cases before the convicted persons are committed. Recommendation is made that the salaries of a number of state officials be increased. An appropriation is needed to complete the roster of Iowa soldiers. Laws protecting labor should be extended and strengthened. A number of minor matters are considered in the concluding paragraphs of the message. The governor commends the commission form of government for our efforts in the adoption of adopting it should be given to all our first class and second class cities, without exception. The legislature would do well to investigate and consider suggestions made in the annual report of the dairy and food commissioner, especially with regard to legislation to check the tendency to concentrate creme cheese business in large com- "You, gentlemen of the Thirty-third general assembly, represent a great corporation, composed of two and a quarter million of the most intelligent people of the earth, they having a capital of approximately $100 million upon to make appropriations for the expenditures of taxes collected for public purposes, and it seems to me there should be one determining factor or only; not how much is the cost, but whether that which you authorize is worth more than it costs to the corporation or your warrant. If there were no affirmative there would seem to be no chance for further argument. "I would again admonish you to remember that ours is a growing and developing commonwealth, and the needs of today and tomorrow may be vastly different from those of yesterday. Conditions change with the passing years, and new duties appear with the unfolding of the grander civilization. You have accepted responsibility for the state. Your predecessors performed their duty well, and with motives of highest patriotism. As trustees with full responsibility for the financial administration of the state, you owe it to your constituents and associates whose confidence you hold, that you do not permit the needless or wasteful expenditure of their money. "It will be a part of your duty, in the limited time before you, to make provision as well as you can for a more efficient solution of taxes. The fairest disposition points of the funds of the state. When this is done intelligently, as I know you will do it, the people will rise up and call you blessed." In 1840 Ohio was by no means a new and sparsely populated state. It had been admitted to the Union thirty-seven years. Its population was over 1,500,000. In proportion to its area the state was then much more populous than Texas or California is today. Iowa has only about as many inhabitants, in proportion to its area, as Ohio had sixty-six years ago.

Mr. Kragg—Before you met me you said you wouldn't marry the best man in the world. Kragg—And you are the only one who thinks that I broke my word. Too Strong for Daddy. It was raining outside, and little interrogative Irma was in one of her worst, or at least most trying, moods. Father, busily writing at his desk, had already reproved her several times for bothering him with useless questions. "I say, pa, what—" "Ask your mother." "Honest, pa, this isn't a silly one this time." "All right, this once. What is it?" "Well, if the end of the world was to come, and the earth was destroyed while a man was up in an airship, where would he land when he came down?—Everybody's." Valuable Conch Shells The conch shell is highly prized in India. In many of the temples they are blown daily to scare away the malignant spirits while the god receives his daily meal. A conch with the spiral twintings to the right instead of to the left is supposed to be worth its weight in gold. Some years ago a conch of that description was offered for sale in Calcutta, with a reserve price of a lakh of rupees placed on it. It was eventually bought in for $20,000. The Disturbing Telephone "The telephone has destroyed all the privacy of society," said the society girl. "It breaks in on everything. Nothing is sacred to it. You may be saying your prayers. The telephone. Or in the midst of your bath. The telephone. Or doing up your back hair, or, worst of all, a delightful man may be making love to you, when kling, kling, kling! The telephone breaks off the thread of his theme and he fails to resume it." His Idea Mrs. Crimsonbeak—I see for use on rural delivery routes a letter box has an electric attachment which gives the alarm in the house some distance when mall matter has been deposited within by the carrier Mr. Crimsonbeak—Seems to me it would be more valuable if it only gave an alarm when a bill was deposited in the box.

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS Calls the Attention of the Law Makers of Iowa to Needed Legislation. Members of the Thirty-first General Assemble Conscious of the great responsibility that has been placed upon me by having been elected as your chief executive, I have taken this most solemn obligation required by our constitution and laws, and through the help of Divine Providence and by your aid and assistance I shall endeavor to fulfill it to the utmost of my ability. Fully realizing that to assume the duties of governor of our state is no light or trivial undertaking, I most solemnly implore the guidance of an over-ruling providence and earnestly request the cooperation of all the people of our commonwealth to the end that the may succeed in giving you an administration that shall result in the greatest good to our citizens, and in promoting and advancing the many interests of our state. Notwithstanding the duties and responsibilities that must be assumed, I am, nevertheless, profoundly grateful for the high honor that has been conferred upon me. Take no Backward Steps That great and substantial progress has been made in the development of corporation regulation, I believe will there is much yet to be done. There is, in fact, a great amount of unusual prosperity, great danger of resurgence, and great need for we have accomplished it after all the efforts we have made, fourth, both by the state and the nation, suggested, with all the along lines condition and interference with business condition and interference with business condition, we are to glacier our energy therefore we are to glacier our energy regulation and control of corporate regulation. The question of the right and duty of a business owner, the control not only its own corporations, but the control of business within its borders, is so well doled out that it not to need any arguments in its support. How to Amend the Laws We have recently had all of the laws in force, and printed and印制 in the form of a Supplement to the form of codification reveals the fact that in a number of instances amendments to the law improper references, are of questionable improper references, are of questionable need, to suit 'it for your consideration' the law would not be wise and desirable in amendment would not be wise and desirable in amendment be rewritten as it would appear when amended. By this means there is in the law a right to be brought down to date of last amendment. Primary Election Law. The last regular session of the General Assembly enacted a law providing that all nominations for state, congressional, legislative and county offices, except for judges, the various courts, shall be made by a vote of the people of the general election to be held in the month of June of the year in which a general election is to be held. There is one thing that causes me to feel that the statute may not meet with final approval, that is, the apparent impossibility of the voter to acquaint himself with the candidates, especially for the minor state officers and those below the head of the ticket. There seems to be some grounds for the belief that the candidate whose name appears first among the list of candidates does secure some advantage over others. If this be true and a reasonable means can be found whereby to obviate the difficulty should be found as all candidates should so far as is possible, stand upon absolutely equal footing. Each county should meet the expense of its own primary the same as it does the expense of the general election. If such means better economy will be observed and less friction in the payment of claims will follow. I am impressed with the idea, also, that perhaps June is not the best month in the year for holding the primary. I am inclined to find out that March would be a Simplify the Ballot. I believe the method of voting should be such that it can be accomplished with the help of a ballot. A voter should decide for himself as to whether he desires to vote a straight or a left-leaning candidate. In the question he should be enabled to carry out his wishes in the easiest and most expeditions manner. I know of no way to prevent him from being more than able to restore the circle to the ballot. Tariff Revision. Our people are not only in harmony with the declaration of the party platform, but also in accord with the laws in accord with the President and with Congress in the enactment of the many reauthorizations into the statute books of the nation in recent years, and there is a sincere desire that such additional laws be enacted to necessary to make these statutes more effective. Protect Our Resources It is possible that our people, without stopping to consider the matter, do not worry about the very important and far reaching subject of conserving our resources and its well well reached the period already at the very end of coal, while apparently almost inexhaustible, is being mined at an enormous rate and the state, at least, the soil is not being protected from coal itself is scarcely more subject to criticism than is the waste of the production of it clearly mark the difference between the successful and the unsuccessful in residence upon the farms. The former who plows the success and the unsuccessful in the machinery, shelters the live stock and leaves no forage or grain in the fields, usually has a bank account. Our people will have learned a great lesson, they shall have reached the conclusion that they shall have reached the conclusion that they shall have reached the conclusion and do it better. Landlordism is no particular advantage to our country, who does not reside upon a farm owning a reasonable amount of crops which will it should be encouraged. The marked improvement, however, in furniture and in recent years is very gratifying and furnishes ample proof of conserving our resources in recent years is very gratifying and furnishes ample proof of conserving our resources in store for the future. A Commission on Conservation of Natural Resources. It has been suggested that a commission be created to identify and identify resources of the state commanding to the people such means which are capable of being exhanced and to develop the manager of being exhanced and to develop the commanding latent, but which by proper effort might be brought into the mind of the state. Further consideration be given to the possibility of utilising some of the resources of transportation and furnishing power for the purpose of machinery thereby serving the double purpose of not only providing the running of machinery but also indirectly protecting the coal fields and other natural resources. sovereign states. I believe that the commercial organizations of the various cities in the state which are taken up the study of conservation and development of our natural resources, would aid in constructing their facilities and contribute their funds toward the maintenance of In Europe hardly a locomotive is being but that is not a steam superheater. The federal fish commission says the meat of the small shark, commonly known as dogfish, is extremely palatable and more nutritious than The ruling of a judge in North Dakota, the other day, was not admirable by a lawyer, who made some blatant, comment upon his judge left his seat, conceded the lawyer down, and then quietly proceeded. such a commission if the state will lend it the most influence and support, to the purposes of the commission, so that it might be profitable to conserve and develop a natural resource, and develop a natural resource for the benefit of five members, each of the five largest commercial clubs or business men's association, one member, the expense of the member, one member, the expense of the member, an association represented, or it might be advisable to permit each club of the state to name one member, if the club is willing to name one member, if the commission is provided. I would not, however, deem it impossible to permit a commission exceeding ten members. A. Merchant Marine. In my judgment our nation needs to be more careful about the re-establishment of a merchant marine. While we have been making great and important advances in the branch of trade, industry or business enterprise, we have signalted failed as so to the nation. Why this nation has not been able to explain why this nation has not been able to maintain the matter of shipbuilding upon the high seas. I am not arguing for ship subsidies. The nation can be found. The necessity for the establishment of this great enterprise is clear. Domestic Commerce. I want to command the action of the commercial clubs, not only of our capital cities, but also of our capital states, their efforts to learn the facts as to how to deal with disastrous issues to our people. I trust that you, as members of the General Assembly, understand the importance and if you add additional legislation needed to protect our interests along with your own legislation such legislation should be promptly enacted. Public Utilities Commission. The question of the establishment of a commission to regulate and control the public's utilities of the state has been discussed to a greater or less extent by some of our people and is, in my judgment, a subject worthy of your careful consideration. This whole subject is one far reaching in its effect and of great importance to all of our people. In my judgment it is consideration cannot and should not being deferred. I believe that it is entitled now to your most thoughtful consideration. A Revenue Commission. It is proposed that a commission be appointed for the purpose of making a study of the commission's work, which commission shall report to the next session of the General Assembly a bill embodying a proposed new law, which will be implemented with such a commission has not been very satisfactory, the report of one or more members of the commission, by the legislature, but the magnitude and importance of an attempted revision of the law it could not with, satisfaction, be accomplished during a regular session of the legislature and the preparation of the report during a during a report. Revision of School Laws. The Thirty-second General Assembly created a commission to compile a legal agreement to propose revision of the entire school laws of the state. The work has been done and the commission has been completed. It has not been my privilege to study the proposed law sufficiently to feel warranted in passing criticism upon it. But I have been aware of the work cannot be overestimated. The Auditor's Office. Having recently retired from the office of Auditor of State, I trust that you will not deem it improper if I make a few observations to us to address the claims of my own people, but by all those who are acquainted with the various interests now supervised by the Auditor, as being one of the important people of the country. I know from experience, that the enormous amount of work connected with the various departments makes it almost impossible to use the time to do the work. I am a very important part of the details of the office and with the law with reference thereto, so as to know when the several departments are prepared to manage the supervision of the law. I am so very well known where I you with insurance that is not human endurance makes it possible for any man to personally supervise the department, the insurance department, the banking department, the municipal accounting department and to serve as a member of the彬彬彬彬的办公室 with the amount of business now connected with each of the branches of the Auditor's office and the rapid increase in the business of each and all of them. I say it is the only one of the most important to me to do all of the above without great injustice to himself or to some of the various interests of the state entrusted to his care. I do not know how to do this case and to do this discussion of the extent of suggesting how relief should be given to this department of our state government. But I shall leave for you this time to consider, that I am deeply in earnest with necessity and some action. Be taken with reference thereto. Fees and Ped Diem. I believe that in almost every instance the server on the per diem system now previens the per diem system, and such servers could be reasonable. I determined that would be reasonable therefor and that in all cases a server on the per diem system would be reasonable. Documents and Printing. In my judgment, your committee on printing should look carefully into the documents that are now provided for in order to determine whether or not an unreasonable request has been made, printed also, to see if the demand for some kinds of reports and documents may not have increased so as to make it desirable that a larger number supplied. Law Enforcement. Laws ought to be enforced, they should be strictly enforced. If perchance they be too drastic, let them be amended, but let them at all times be obeyed. Laxness in law enforcement leads to a disregard for the law itself and to disrespect for any distrust of public officials. In the main, I believe the people will be given just such official service as they demand. It is perhaps true that the liquor laws of the state are more difficult of enforcement than most other statutes, but in my opinion it is due rather to local influence than to a weakness of the law itself. A district-judge and a country attorney-fearless in the performance of duty, with a sheriff or a constable of like character, will find little difficulty in commencing respect, not only for the liquor statutes but for all laws of the state. Legislative Responsibility. Members of the General Assembly, in accordance with the important position of the legislator, seat in the honorable body. No greater responsibility rests upon union and the men who make the laws. The executive to duty will carry into effect the laws. The legislative responsibility rests upon state laws. Therefore, the responsibility rests with the effect of a statute should rest with the legislator. Our people are justly proud of our state, and we are fortunate to have written it upon the tablets of our heirs, and emblazon it upon our banners that it compares it with our own institutions of other states there shall be more better than our own.

CARROLL MADE IOWA GOVERNOR FORMER AUDITOR OF STATE BE- COMES CHIEF EXECUTIVE. HOUSE GALLERIES ARE PACKED Mrs. Carroll and Other Relatives Witness Bestowal of Iowa's Chief Office upon Kinsman. Des Moines, Ia. Jan. 15—Beryl F. Carroll took the oath of office as governor of the state of Iowa late yesterday afternoon before an audience made up of members of both houses of the Iowa general assembly, field officers of the Iowa National Guard, state officials, prominent men from every corner of the state and a large number of citizens of Des Moines. The house chamber, in which the ceremonies were held, blazed with the colors of the national flag, while the dress uniforms of the field officers of the National Guard added color to the setting. Members of the families of Governor Carroll and Lieutenant-Governor Clarke occupied the official box, twenty people making up the party. Before the ceremonies the Henry orchestra played in the rotunda, and later in the house itself, while the guardsmen, who acted as the guards and ushers of the occasion, seated the audience by Rev.

In 1835 he was elected as senator from the Third senatorial district, in 1838 he held sixth and Twenty-seventh general assemblies, when he resigned to become postmaster at Bloomfield, which position he held until nominated for auditor of state in 1902. He served three terms in that capacity, but retired to become a candidate for governor, to which place he was elected at the last general election by an enormous vote. Clemency to Oil Trust Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 15.—A month's delay in winding up its connections with the Standard Oil company of New Jersey was granted to the Waters-Pierce Oil company by the supreme court of Missouri. The original decree of the court ordered the Waters-Pierce concern to furnish a statement that it had taken steps to operate independently by Jan. 15. The decree gives until Feb. 15 in effect a $50,000 fine assessed against the company must be paid by March 1, the penalty for nonobscurrence of those court orders being a forfeiture of the company's charter. Big Toncka Hotel a Buln Topeka, Kans., Jan. 15—With walls blackened with smoke, bulbies to the danger point, threatening to cave in at any time on an interior of utter ruin, all that remains of the Copeland hotel, office of the republican party for years, is a more mass of rulns. Many guests who escaped were obliged to run scantily clad in their bare feet through four inches of snow to shelter. All hope that Isaac E. Lambert, the Emporia attorney and politician, might have escaped has been given up. Tinning Pages Abolished. Washington, D.

Secretary Wilson says, "One of the objets of the law is to inform the consumer of the presence of certain harmful drugs in medicines."

The manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy have always claimed that their remedy did not contain any of these drugs; and the truth on this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label.

Buried in the heart of a civilized, powerful and progressive foreign people, a little handful of Indians have lived for 300 years and have contrived to keep alive all that time their national characteristics, their traditions and their individuality. If you seek them you will find them in Amatlan de los Reyes, a village in the Guajara Grasslands. They are the Amatecas. The Amatecas are perhaps the only people in the republic who have succeeded in retaining for themselves what is practically self-government. Willing to Oblige. "When you feel any temptations comin' along," said the friend and adviser, "you mus' say: 'Get thee behin' me, Satan." "Da's what I done said," answered Mr. Erastus Pinkley, "an' den I imagines I byhus Satan answer me back: Da's all right. We're both gwine de same way, nothow, an' it don' make no diff'ence to me which leads de puhcession."

WINCHESTER THE RED W BRAND LOADED SHOTGUN SHELLS LEADER=REPEATER Loaded with Smokeless Powder NUBLACK=NEW RIVAL Loaded with Black Powder Used by the Most successful shots SOLD EVERYWHERE No WINCHESTER 12 REPEATER TRUE STATUS OF A TRAITOR. Well Defined by the Father of Sir Walter Scott. Among the treasures which adorned the "den" of Sir Walter Scott was a shina sauce—the memorial according to the author of "Edinburgh Under Sir Walter Scott," of a striking incident in the domestic life of Scott's father and mother. One autumn Mr. Scott, Sr., had a client who came regularly every evening at a certain house, and his wife had regularly hung after the family had gone to bed. The little mystery of the unknown visitor excited Mrs. Scott's curiosity, and her husband's vague statements increased. One night, therefore, although she knew it was against her husband's desire, she entered the room with a salver, in her hand, and offered the gentleman "a dish of tea," as it used to be called in eighteenth-century lace. His wife did not understand but the stranger bowed and accepted a cup. Presently he took his leave. Then Mr. Scott seized the empty cup and threw it out on the pavement. His wife was astonished at first, but not when she heard the explanation. "I may admit into my house, on business, persons wholly unworthy to be treated as guests of my wife. Neither lip of me nor come to my house." Murray of Brougham*: The client who had called was none other than the traitor, Secretary Murray, who bought off his life and fortune by giving evidence against his gallant Jacobite associates.—Dunce Advertiser. SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES. Dozen Inhabitants in Ond; In Another Only Two Houses. Probably few people know that this country contains a number of parishes so small that their population can be housed under one or two roofs. For instance, Upper Elden, near Stockbridge, consists of two houses, which with an eleventh century church and a tiny "God's Acre" in the middle farmyard adjoined to one of the wollong, comprise the whole parish. Not much larger is the population of Lullington, five miles from Eastbourne. Small as its church is—the interior dimensions are only 16 feet square—it is quite large enough for the inhabitants. In Grove near Light Buzzard, there are only about a dozen inhabitants, the parish containing a modern farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny church. At Rbyd, in Friar Whiting, the village contains five cottages and one ship. Until recently there were two licensed houses, one of which still remains.—Tit-Bits. Store Carries Old Hotel Name. Away up in Harlem is a sign which reads: "The Old Astor House Store." In reply to an inquiry the proprietor said: "The business was established in the vicinity of the old Astor house when the latter was the big hotel of New York. Later on it moved up to Fourteenth street and carried the name of the old hotel with it. It some years after it moved up to Forty-second street and the name went with it. Then it jumped all the way to Harlem and, as the name had become one of the fixtures of the business, it was maintained. The business now is in the hands of the third generation of the family that established it. Just a bit of sentiment."—New York Press. Pleasant Situation Clintonville, this county, had several thrills of nervous apprehension on Tuesday of last week. A driver in the employ of a torpedo firm started off with a load of 40 quarts of nitroglycerine, and when a short distance from the barn stopped, got off his wagon and started an argument with a bystander. The team became frightened and started to run, but had not gone far until the front wheel of the wagon stood an iron spur of a porch at a street, corner and the horses stripped themselves from the harness, leaving the wagon, with its load of condensed destruction, standing.—Oil City Derrick. Waterproof Coats of Grass Waterproofs. In the tropics of Mexico, where torrential rainfall a part of each year, raincoats are a very necessary part of man's apparel. Owing to the intense heat which prevails in the summer season, the ordinary rubber raincoat cannot be worn. A rainproof coat is made from native grasses, and is worn by the men of the middle and upper classes. The grasses are woven close together and it is impossible for the rain to be through them, no matter how hard the storm may be. Some of these coats are made with a hood which protects the head as well as the body. Will Found In a Hat. Probate has been granted of the will of a peddler who left an estate valued at 411,937. He was Mr. Harris Norman, a Polish Jew, of Mill road, Cambridge. The document was found in his silk hat after his death. It was dated January 15, 1903, and he was the whole of his property equally between *Adnobrooke* its pital, Cambridge, and the London Jew *ish synagogue for the relief of poor and needy Jews*—London Evening Standard. Flagrant Violator Mrs. Crawford—What did your husband say when you told him that you and your daughters were going to join an and-noise club? Mrs. Chatter—He said he hoped it would keep us quiet. Lame Shoulder Cured. Lame shoulder is usually caused by rheumatism of the muscles and quickly yields to a few applications of Cham boraini's Pain Balm. Mrs F. H. M.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that heirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. POPE.
