PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE Modern Methods of Road Building Were Talked at Convention and Steps for Better Highways Des Molines, Aug. 27.—Good roads in Iowa, were boosted along and a systematic campaign for better highways was launched at the meeting of the Iowa Rural Carriers' association at the Savery. Secrety Lucius Wilson of the Greater Des Molines committee spoke on problems in roads and the Troubles H. McDowall delivered an address on "Roads and Bridges". Prof. McDonald said that great progress had been made during the last few years in the crusade for good roads and bridges and that the farmers as a whole are beginning to see that they will be greatly benefited by the improvement of the highways. A general discussion of the subject followed. Methods of bettering the service were discussed and Inspector J. J. Swenson talked about the subject. Mr. Swenson imparted the great part of the afternoon in answering questions of the delegates on matters pertaining to the service and a number of technical tangles were unravelled. W. G. Romer of Lyons was elected president, W. S. Hoon of Ames, first vice president, W. H. James of Council Bluffs, second vice president and B. B. Child of Nevada secretary-treasurer. The executive board was chosen as president, with holdover from 1999; H. E. Jones Rockwell City, for two years, and O. W. Bryant, Lorimor, for three years.

Muskogee, Okla.—Judge Ralph Campbell, has sustained the demurrers in the suite brought by the United States to set aside various deeds and leases made by citizen allottees in the five civilized tribes in eastern Oklahoma, and thus settled a legal controversy that had been the cause of considerable concern in that part of the state. The court reviewed the relation of the United States to the five tribes since they became a nation, and found that no vestige of title to the lands allotted them now remains in the United States. The demurrers involved the question of the citizenship of these Indians and the court declared them to be citizens of the United States with all the rights, privileges and immunities of citizenship. It is held that the United States cannot maintain these suits on the principle that it sustains to the individual Indian a trust relation, such guardianship being incompatible with citizenship, national and state.

TWO ELEPHANTS G.O.P. AMERICA AFRICA HUNDREDS DIE IN SHIP CRASH HUNDREDS DIE IN SHIP CRASH EXCURSIONISTS LOSE LIVES IN MONTEVIDEO HARBOR. Argentine and a German Steamer Collide and a Fearful Panic Follows. Buenos Ayes, Aug. 25.—Nearly 300 persons lost their lives when two excursion steamers crashed in the harbor entrance at Montevideo. A majority of the victims were women and children. The vessels were the Argentine steamer Colombia, carrying passengers from Buenos Aires to the festival at Montevideo, and a German steamer also engaged in the local passenger service. The latter went down so quickly that all attempts at rescue were practically hopeless. It is said that the captain of the German steamer and a few of the passengers were saved. The captain had to be restrained from committing suicide. There was a fearful panic on board both boats. Women and children trampled each other under foot in the effort to reach the vessels' sides. It was hardly five minutes, however, after the collision before the fated German excursion steamer went to the bottom with most of its passengers. The captain and a few of those able to swim were rescued by lifeboats manned by sailors from the Colombia.

REGISTERED LETTERS FIBST Cost Will Be Raised from Eight to Ten Cents—Money Orders Come Next and Railroads Will Get Less for Transportation. Washington—Postmaster General Hitchcock has called a conference of postal officials which has for its object the increasing of rates of registering letters from eight to ten cents, an advance in the cost of money orders, and a decrease in the price paid to railroads for carrying the mails. The conference will be held here Monday. Postal officials from various parts of the country who have knowledge of the operations of the registry division, the money order division and the railway mail service will be on hand to give their views. Postal officials invited to the conference with the postmaster general are: James B. Bennett, Chicago; E. S. Post and Edmund Sands, New York; Alden B. Weston, Boston; George Retler, Cincinnati; Arthur H. Potts, Indianapolis; B. Vignaux, Atlanta; Robert H. Sleby, Kansas City; John A. Leathers, Louisville; Henry Smith, St. Louis; W. G. Duff, Pittsburgh; Charles C. Kellogg, Detroit; Harvin S. Burke, Buffalo; J. A. Abbott, Baltimore; Thomas McLeister, Philadelphia. Announcement of the proposed change was made by Postmaster General Hitchock. The decision of Mr. Burke the registry fee followed an extended system to the registry system by a special committee appointed by the postmaster general. Mr. Hitchock and the members of the committee had a long conference Wednesday. It is understood to be Mr. Hitchcock's purpose to take up the registry system first in considering all branches of the postal service for reorganization wherever greater efficiency and less expenditure may be effected. It is thought that the service may be placed on a more business-like basis without working undue imposing unreasonable burdens on the postal system. In his talk with a number of the delegates who attended the recent annual convention of the National Association of First-Class Postmasters at Toledo, Mr. Hitchcock learned they were almost unanimously of the opinion that any increase in the registry fee from eight to ten cents would not be opposed when it was understood that the government was losing several million dollars through the present system of operation. In the annual deficit has constantly been placed on the government operation of the postal system as an argument in favor of private operation. To this the friends of government operation reply that some of the railroads have been getting about ten times as much as they should get for carrying the mails, and that not enough is charged for the registry and monochrom service rendered the people. President Taft in his message to congress next December will strongly urge the early establishment of a postal savings bank system. Influential members of both the senate and house are urging that the matter be over until the monetary commission reports its report and ensuing financial legislation has been disposed of. CLASH OVER LAW, BY MAIL Whether It Can Be Taught by Correspondence Is Subject for Bar Convention Tilt. Detroit, Mich.—Whether law can be successfully taught in correspondence schools and whether four years' preparation is necessary for admission to the bar, furnished a heated discussion Tuesday at a meeting of the section on legal education of the American Bar association, which is in convention here. The University of Wisconsin college of law, and James Parker Hall of the University of Chicago law school, were strong in their denunciation of the correspondence school. Mr. Hall classed it with mining scheme advertising. Judge Francis M. Danaher of Albany, N. Y., speaking from the standpoint of the experienced lawyer, replied with scathing criticism of modern law school methods and declared that the incompetence of many candidates for the bar after completing the course is appalling. If law correspondence schools are bad, he asked Dean Richards and Mr. Hall, why do Wisconsin and Chicago universities conduct them in other departments? Foreign Arrival Record Broken.

Fort Des Moines, Ia. Aug. 26—The greatest peace-time movement of troops the United States has ever experienced is now in progress. Over 6,000 soldiers of the Regular Army, including cavalry, infantry, artillery, mountain batteries, engineering corps, pounton and spar bridge trains, a balloon corps with captives, dirigibles and heavier-than-air craft for navigating the air, wagon trains carrying tents and supplies for the army, field bakeries, a hospital corps and great military bands are moving upon Des Moines from the four points of the compass. The columns are moving toward the camp, and concentration camp in Missouri, from Sparta, Wis., and from Fort Mead in South Dakota and Fort Russell in Wyoming. All troops are going over land and all are scheduled to meet in the city of Des Moines not later than September 17. The movement is a part of the regular fall maneuvers requiring all troops to indulge in long practice marches. At Des Moines the troops will go into a camp that will cover 135 acres of ground on and adjoining the state fair grounds and will rest until September 20. On the morning of September 20 all the principal streets of the Capital City in full dress with colors flying and bands playing and will be reviewed by President Taft. President Taft will reach Des Moines at 7 a.m. and will remain until 2 p.m. After the great parade the troops will repair to the state fair grounds, where President Taft will deliver a half hour address on the army and what it means to the country. Following his address the troops will give a tournament program of three hours duration in which the troops will be equipped and surface will be examined. This will be the first of six afternoon programs to be given each day of the week of September 20. Over $300 in prices have been provided for the winning troops and the citizens of Des Moines have raised $600 for this purpose. It is expected that the greatest crowd Iowa has ever witnessed will be assembled at the fair grounds to hear President Taft and witness the tournament program on the afternoon of Monday, September 20, and that that evening the crowd will spend days to witness this greatest gathering of American troops in time of peace, will rival the gatherings of state fair week. 40,919 R.

Iowa City, Ia.—The much-talked of Layson Island expedition plans for which have been progressing for the last three years, will occur next year, from Feb. 1 to Sept. 1, or as much of that period as is necessary to complete the work. Homer R. Dill, university taxidermist, will be in charge of the expedition, and has been granted leave of absence for the last semester of next year. He will be accompanied on his trip by a landscape artist from New York. The Iowa naturalist will collect only as many birds as are necessary for the foreground of the scene in the museum of S. U. L., and for the remainder, mile upon mile of bird-teeming territory, will be represented in panorama by the artist. When the work is done, there will be a representation in Iowa university of the greatest bird-breeding island in the world. This is not that it will deceive those who stand in the foreground. No such panorama as this exists in the country, and the addition to the museum next year will attract much attention from all over the country.

NOT YET HIS TIME TO DIE Snake Collector Thought He Had Been Bitten by Deadly Reptile and Made His Will, Edward M. Cooper's article on South America and his reference to its poisonous snakes, reminds me of an interesting adventure of a friend of mine in Northern Brazil, says a writer in the London Saturday Review. My friend was making a collection of the poisonous snakes of the neighborhood, and as everyone around us was aware of the fact many gifts of the kind were offered to him. One thing he was writing at a table in our bus, the local person brought him a small live specimen of one of the most deadly snakes of the neighborhood. My friend, who was very busy, asked him to put it in a glass jar on the table, which was accordingly done. Unfortunately the hot night air and other soporific influences proved too much for my friend's waking powers. He went to sleep with his head on the table, and slept peacefully till awakened by a fearful crash. He had knocked the table over, with the amp on it; the lamp had naturally been put out and, as his senses slowly returned the awakened sleeper remembered that the glass jar also had fallen on the floor and the snake must now be loose. Obviously the best thing to do was to jump on the bed and shout for help and light. But the bht was empty, and the snake could not spend the night standing rearing for help so, as there was only a space of about eight feet between him and the door, the snake collector or jumped down from the bed, resolved to make a rush for it. He had taken his boots off in the early part of the evening, and as he jumped he felt a sharp, vicious nip in the heel of his right foot. My friend was a person with plenty of cool presence of mind. A servant entered the hut at the moment. He summoned him, told him curtly that he had not five minutes to live, and proceeded to dictate a will and various directions to his traveling companions and one or two other persons. But death tarried an unaccountably long time, and presently the reason of this became apparent. The snake was curled up in a far corner of the room, swaying and hissing angrily, and my friend had jumped off the bed on a piece of broken glass with which the room was liberally strewn.

Mason City, Iowa.—The time treatment for tuberculosis is being tried out here with flattering success. About a year ago Edwin Conley discovered that his lungs were affected and he immediately set out for the west in quest of health. Last May he returned, but he had received no benefit from the climatic changes. The treatment was suggested to him and he was soon assiduously carrying it out, and he better, in his own opinion, im- the opinion of his friends and his physicians. For a time his fever ran high and coughing was almost incessant. He had no appetite and no ambition. Some weeks ago his fever left him and ambition has taken hold of him so that he finds it hard to keep out of employment. He keeps pulverized liver in a good sized box in the barn and from two to five times a day goes to the box, stirs it thoroughly with a shovel until a very fine dust arises, and he breathes this in. His idea is that this is killing the tuberculosis germs. Doctors of the city are watching the case closely and he is being examined frequently, and they say that his lungs are certainly healing.

I never forgot to tell my wife, I loved Pinkham's from nervousness and other annoying pain can truly say that LydaE.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has proved worth of gold to me, as it restored my health and strength. I never forget my wife what LydaE.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restitution to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter."—Mrs. Cias. BARCLAY, ED.

[plore the disturbance that ocourred In the Seventh street. church on. the night of July 2 we do not find evi dence that Rev. Burton attempted tc assault Rev.

That while Rev, Burton has shown irritation toward Rev. Vener: fable it was not without very unfort ate provocation, %. That the serious internal aif culties in the Seventh street church fare due to Rev. Venerable's methods Which appear to us to be arbitrary, Windictive and hasty; that he should Use his offices to restore those who were excluded on the night of July 30 {o thelr good standing in the church, ‘and hat he should offer apology to Rey.

Two others, Revs. Boles and Bolt tng were sent to request his coming. ‘They made three trips in search of him, Rev. Venerable came and re- fused to accept the proposition made by the board. It becomes therefore the painful task of this board to withdraw from him the hand of fellowship. and (0 Rotity gar ‘ehurehes tn te! siate of this action, ‘Recommendations. We make the following Fecommend- ations: 1. We recommend that the Seventh street church accept the conclusion of this Yoard ‘that thelr action. of July 30 is Invalidate or that it grace | fully rescind its former action and re- store these parties to full fellowship | in the chureb. 2.
