CORN GROWERS ARE COMING
Officers of State Growers' Associa
tion Confer Here.
PLANS FOR ' FALL MEETING
Exposition, Will Last One Week and
, Will Be of Sufficient Slse to
Fill the Andttorinn. with
,. Exhibits.
The purpose of having the annual ex
position of the Iowa Corn Growers as
sociation at Council Bluffs this fall was
given Its first Impetus yesterday after
noon when Secretary John Sundberg
came from his home at Whiting, la., to
meet President F. H. Xiopp'ng of Potta
wattamie county for the purpose of con
ferring . with, the Commercial club and
the officers of the Auditorium company.
The association covers the entire state
and has grown to be of great Importance
as one of the chief . avenues thrush
which Prof. Holden and other agricul
tural scientists have worked successfully
to raise the standard of Iowa farm life
and give new . luster to the crown of
King Corn.
The' exposition will last one week, and
will be of sufficient magnitude to fill the
Auditorium building and the annex with
exhibits that will come from all parts
of the state. It will also attract the
seekers for big prizes from other states
for the competition will be open to the
world. The two officials of the associa
tion held a conference during the after
noon with George F. Hamilton, head of
the Auditorium company, and T. D, Met
calf, chairman of the executive commit
tee of the Commercial club. The plans
were carefully discussed and the require
ments fully explained. Chairman Metcalf
will submit the matter to the full com
mittee of the Commercial club at the
meeting on Tuesday.
The proposition is very liberal, requir
ing but little risk outside of the heating
and lighting of the Auditorium building,
with the concessions and gate receipts
to go to defray the expenses here. The
state association Is to provide the premi
ums and print the premium lists from
money that will be realised from entry
fees and membership cards. A guaranty
of only about $1,200 la required to locate

officer in the association, will be here
as one of its most active promoters and
Instructors. Attractive displays of farm

BODY OF MAN FOUND
BY NORTHWESTERN TRACK
Trainmen yesterday found the mangled
body of a man lying by the aide of the
Northwestern railroad tracks three miles
south of Loveland. The man had been
atruck by a train and apparently in
stantly killed. The body waa brought to
Council Bluffa at o'clock laat evening
by order of Coroner Cutler. A careful
examination of the clothing failed to dis
close anything by which the man's
Identity could be ascertained. There waa
not a scrap of writing of any character
In any ot hla pocketa and he waa penni
less. He appeared to be a foreigner and
was dressed In worklngmen's clothes. He
was apparently about middle age.
The body waa burled within an hour
after it waa brought to the city, the
haste being necessary on account of the
mutilated condition ot the remains and
the necessity for expensive embalming if
the body had been longer kept

To find great authors, great composers.

is not always an experience which greets
one who approaches celebrities.
There are - those who seem on close
range to be mere Inanimate instruments.
used by the Creative Power as mediums
of expression Instruments with no more
Individuality, magnetism or personality
than a grand piano, or a typewriting ma
chine, or a pot of clay. When the excep
tion is encountered it Is a pleasure which
defies description.
Marie CorelU is one of the world's most
renowned and gifted women. Every In
telligent individual on the wide earth
knows her name. Her 'Romance of Two
Worlds," published more than twenty
years ago, when Miss CorelU was a very
young girl, placed her immediately upon
a pinnacle of literary and financial suc
cess at once unique and remarkable.
Since that first venture other works
equally successful have followed and
fame and fortune have fallen to the lot
of this rarely gifted woman in such un
stinted measures that It Is not. to be
wondered, knowing the tendency ot hu
man nature, that Miss Corelli stands ever
between two ranks of human being; one
tossing her flowers, praise and admlra- j
tlon, one casting stones and abuse or the
petty missiles of envy and jealouay.
Miss Corelli lives In Stratford-on-Avon
In a home which was built In the days
of Queen Elisabeth by one Mr. Mason,
and which was afterwards, like so many
other of the houses of that period, cov
ered with ugly stucco and all the beau
tiful beams and wide fireplaces hidden,
heaven only knowa why.
It haa been Miss Corelli' privilege and
pleasure to buy this old house and re
store It to Its original charm, to build
stately additions and to fit them all up
with the furniture and decorations of
their own period. ' The four fortunate
people who were her guests one mem
orable day In June had all traveled - In
many lands and visited many mansions
and palaces. And there was no dissent
ing voice when one said It was the most
beautiful and artistic home of alL '
Lilies are Miss CorelU' a favorite flowers.
Every room in the old house breathes
their fragrance. Having been In her
home one must ever associate the author"
with lilies..
Tet, In her type, this famous woman Is
more suggestive .of the rose. Under
medium height voluptuous ' In figure,
ardent bloom In her round cheeks, ' the
deep blue of Scottish skies In her eyes,
halo of bright ash blond hair about
her animated countenance, thla lily
loving woman seems to be the wild roae
blooming along English highways.
Scotch and Italian blood . mlnaled to
produce this remarkable genius. And
consequently Miss CorelU Is endowed with
many gifts. A skUled musician, a deep
student of the occult, a profound scholar,
a brilliant convener and possessed of
scintillating wit and keen sense of humor,
Miss Corelli has a most compelling per
sonality. Besides which she Is as mag
netlo as a loadstone, and, best of all,
feminine from the tip of her small feet
to the top of her fluffy head. She loves
pretty garments, and her dresses, like
her house, display the taste of an artist
Miss Corelli adorea Shakespeare's old
home town, and at her own expense, just
to 'please her sense ot th fitness of
things, she has uncovered and restored
the Tudor house, whloh now makes a
picturesque feature of Stratford. This
was done purely for the love of doing
It and seeing It Of course, envious
tongue misrepresented this action and
endeavoring to attribute self-seeking pur
pose to the expensive experiment but the
tact remains, nevertheless, precisely as
stated. ' '' "'
Hearing that Miss CorelU was the
power behind the throne which caused
the house of John Harvard's mother to
be restored and presented to America,
Miss Corelli waa questioned, and the foU
lowing Interesting story told. It is given
in the famous author's own words. Hear
ing that the home of the mother of the
man who founded Harvard college was
tor sale to the highest bidder (whether
brewer or vandal) she says:
"Quietly I set to work on ways and
means for purchasing It by private treaty.
Fortune favored me In my design, for
during a summer cruise on board Sir
Thomas Upton's yact. The Erin, I met
Mr. Edward Morris, son ot the mlUlonaire
Nelson Morris of Chicago, and to him I
confided the hop I had long cherished,
which was that the 'Harvard House'
should belong to America,, and to Har
vard university In particular. Ton may
call It a romantic notion, perhaps,' I said,
but I should like to think that the house
of John Harvard's mother waa a link
with John Harvard's university, . and . a
sign ot friendship between the two na
tions. "Mr. Morris was greatly taken with the
Idea, and both he and his charming wife
entered Into It with spirit and generosity.
After some further talk together on the
subject he commissioned me to purchase
the Harvard house tor htm, and - also
entrusted to me the work of strengthen
ing, restoring and bringing it back, as far
as far as possible, to its original condi
tioninteriorly as well as exteriorly.
"As I have made a study of Elizabethan
architecture, the task waa very congenial
to me, and lost no time In setting about
it I was resolved that the work should
be undertaken by Stratford-on-Avon men
and I secured the admirable services of
Messrs. Brice at Sons, builders and deco
rators, established in the town, who,
under my supervision, started on the diffi
cult and delicate task ot putting the old
house back as accurately as might be Into
its sixteenth century aspect The result
has more than aurpassed our moat aan
guine expectatlona. ' .
"Visitors entering It today will see the
rooms pretty much as John Harvard's
mother aaw them as, no doubt. John
Harvard himself saw them when a small
boy, for It Is hardly to be supposed that
he never visited his mother's home- ot
his grandparents. It must not be for
gotten that Robert Harvard, his father,
belonged to the parish of St Saviour's
Southwark, where Shakespeare had hi
Glob Theater.' tX.
"Much has been said and written con
eernlng the lack of all personal documents
(such as letters and private . family rec
ords) relating to Shakespeare this so-
called "want of evidence' giving rise to
the most ridiculous and untenable theories
respecting the great poet's Identity; but
few pause to think that there is precisely
the same want of evidence In regard to
John Harvard. Aa the Rev. Dr. George
E. EllUs aaid when speaking on the sub
subject of the statu of the founder ot
the University In Cambridge, Mass.:
"The occasion renews the sens of re
gret so often JMvllied and expressed In
scholarly elrctai that a secret and a
silence as yet impenetrated and unvoiced,
(
cover the whole Ufe-hlstory in the
mother country of him. who planted
learning in the New England wilderness.
And one can but keenly feel that if this
secret and silence' could be once broken
Into and revealed, and If the private
family records of the Rogers and Har
vard households could be recovered,
much might be found relating, not only
to them, but perchance to their great
townsman whose universal fame, like
sunshine, lights the whole lntellctual
world. '
'It Is partly with this intention, among
others, that the 'Harvard House' In
Stratford-on-Avon has been generously
presented to America and the Harvard
university by Mr. Edward Morria In the
hope that by careful Inquiry and re
search, authentic records of John Har
vard and his family and neighbors may
possibly come into the safekeeping of
the trustees to be held for the university.
The restoration of the old building has
been to me a labor of love, and I am
glad that the whole structure has now
been made good and sound In every part
and strong enough to last a thousand
years. On the completion of the work
Mr. Morria himself made a visit of in
spection and expreeed himself as en
tirely satisfied with all that had been
don.
"In concluding thla brief explanation of
the way In which, through the Interest
and generosity of Edward Morris, I was
fortunately able to obtain for America
the possession of historic property in
Shakespeare's town, I should Uke to ex
press the hope that my idea of the old
house standing In Stratford as a sign ot
connection between Shakespeare and
Harvard, and a pledge of amity between
British and American scholars aU over
the world, may be realised now and in
all the years to come. And on the
ground i of Stratford-on-Avon, where
Shakespeare trod, itwould be pleasant
to think and to believe that there will
always be one spot where America and
England can shake hands like loving
comrades in mutual admiration and
reverence for their famous men, and
that the 'Harvard House. "
It would be a pretty act of courtesy if
Harvard college should some day send
Miss Corelli a gracious letter of appre
ciation tor the part she played in the
Interesting episode. It has never been
done. .

To swim the Columbia river at Uma
tilla, Ore., where it is half a mile in
width, is a test of human strength even
under the most favorable conditions, but
to accomplish that feat burdened with the
weight of a child in the dead of winter
with the swollen river made more for
midable by the presence of hundreds ot
jagged ice floes is an achievement almost
unbelievable.
Tet this is just what was done about
eight years ago by a Columbia river
Indiana who had almost reached the age
of GO. He is still living today on the Ulm
atilla reservation to testify to his per
formance, though no man ever heard him
boast ot it
The Indian's name is Sees-Tuse and he
is now the head man of h scattered Co
lumbias. It was in the early years ot
the new century that he attempted to
make the passage ot the Columbia in a
frail canoe, accompanied by a boy of 9
years. When In midstream his little craft
was struck with such force by an ice cake
that it waa overturned. Sees-Tuse seized
his boy companion, and, placing him on
his back, breasted the stream and com
menced his battle to gain the shore.
It men who witnessed the feat are to
be believed, no white man could have ac
complished what this old Indian did. Foot
by foot he made his way toward th.
southern bank, and, though ET.'tr down
stream by the swift current his progress
was steady. . :.v -
Several times he was struck by an ice
floe and the Jagged end of one cut a deep
wound In his neck. Finally, after what
seemed an almost Interminable time, he
reached the shore with his burden, his
strength spent by his heroic efforts and
loss of blood, and almost frozen by the
chill water. Before the flow from his
wound could be checked he had almost
bled to death.
Not long after the incident Sees-Tuse
was awarded some heirship lands on the
Umatilla reservation and since that time
has lived among the Umatilla. Cayuses
and Walla Wallas, but through the death
of the chieftains of his own tribe he has
come to be regarded by his people as
their head man.
The old" Indian, whose facial character
istics are so different from those of the
prairie" Indians, is a frequent visitor in
Pendleton. Ore., and almost regularly
once a week calls upon his friend, Major
Lee Moorhouse, not. however, so much
for the purpose of talking with the major
as to gaze at a full-length painting of
himself which adorns the walls of the
Moorhouse office. The painting was made
from a photograph of Sees-Tuse, taken
by the major, and the aged red man often
sits by the hour, childlike, admiring the
Ukeness on the wall.-Oregon Journal.

8SCRST SERVICE AGENTS OF THE AXMT OF THE POTOMAC, DIRECTED BY ALLAN PINKERTON
"There Are No Such
Detectives Today"
Copyright, MIL
Patriot Pub. Co.
COMPARED with Pinkerton and his men, the dangers :
encountered by the modern sleuth sink into insij-
nificance. For, unlike the detective of today, who :
has everyone on his side except the guilty, Pinkerton
and his followers were not only forced to conceal their ,
identity from those whom they were pursuing, but were
also liable at any moment to betray themselves to the
entire community in which they moved.
The Secret Service operatives of the Civil War days
hunted down men, entered within the enemy's lines to
learn the location of earthworks, the strength of the
batteries, the numbers of opposing forces when failure
meant death; when success brought only the reward of
labor for love of country. ,
For these men, whose valor was, perhaps; greater
than that of the soldiers in the armies, there was no beat
of drums and crash of arms and fanfare .of war to arouse
their courage their names will not be found on any roll
of honor their place is among the unknown heroes of
history.
The names of a few of these great detectives, with
their pictures, have been rescued from obscurity with
the discovery of the original negatives taken by the great
Civil War photographer, Mathew B. Brady. In these
Long-Lost, Original
Brady War Photographs
you not only see the portraits of th most famous Civil War
detectives, th Secret Service agents.the Intrepid scouts, the darioe;
spies but the narrative text which accompanies each picture
. recounts the experiences of these men and the ingenious schemes
unearthed by their clever ruses. Many a tale is told of mysterious'
dispatches, their bearers, and the fate of those captured within th
lines of the enemy. ; . '
- j One photograph pictures the locomotive that banged eight
men as spies. This photograph is vitalised by a detailed account
of the mad and daring feat planned by a spy la General Basil's
employment. " .......
Another picture in the famous Brady War Photographs shows
the fate ot a Confederate Spy before Petersburg. It is ail terribly
Impressive: the double line of troops around the lonely gallows
waiting for the unfortunate victim who is about to suffer an igno
minious death while, the thought that this man, actuated by the
most patriotic and self-denying motives, must meet death not only
in shame, but also completely severed from all that is dear to him,
is horrifying. , - :
