(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, 6ept 22.-Speclal.)-Re-publlcans
of Iowa are beginning to feel
that ro far aa the state Is concerned there
Is very little danger of a democratic vic
tory in November, and that a matters
have finally developed In this state a
republican victory Is assured. The. nor
mul majority of the republicans Is not
far from 80,000. It la disclosed that while
a great many have deserted the repub
lican party to Join toe. new progressive
party and will vote for Stevens for gov
ernor It la unquestionably true that there
are also a . great many democrats who
will do the same thing. Thus while tilers
will be a loss to the head, of the repub
lican ticket in this state there Is also
certain to be a loss to the head of the
democratic ticket
The leaders among republicans are be
ginning to realise that a first class game
of politics -Is being played by the re
publican committees thla year. The com
mittees have been subjected to a great
deal of criticism, and some of the news
papers, notably those of Des Moines, have
been filled with articles designed to stlt
up trouble for the republican workers.
Banquet Postponed, . :
The banquet and political meeting which
has always been held by1 the Iowa Tip
pecanoe' club at the beginning of a re
publican campaign has been postponed
this year, according to an announcement
made tonight by Secretary J. H. Craw
ford. "Speakers are needed for such an
occasion and we have unable to
get them," ho said.
Mr. Crawford further said that both
Senator Kenyon and George W. Clark,
republican candidate for governor, have
expressed themselves as unwilling to ad
iresa the meeting.
Democrats Having Trouble,
It developa that while republicans are
not entirely harmonious as to how their
campaign should be conducted, the demo
crats are having a great deal of trouble
among themselves In Iowa. The state
campaign It in tha hands of N. F. Reed,
Judge Martin J. Wade and J. J. Dunn,
neither one of whom was for Woodrow
Wilson for president and all of whom
have opposed the majority of the party
in this state. Beed was selected to be
state chairman, and was placed In charge
of the campaign after he had been put
off the state committee by hla own dis
trict and the state convention. Now his
rivals are asserting boldly that from his
previous campaign a deficit of $3,000 was
left .which Is being paid off by the con
tributions Intended for the work on) behalf
of Wilson this year, and there are no
denials of the accusation.
Stevens Will Do Mttle Talklna,
John U Stevens, the progressiva eandl
date for governor, does not Intend to do
very much talking In the campaign. He
expects to prepare one or two addresses
for delivery in the campaign In which he
will touch up some of the local leaders,
whq, he Says, have hew! standing In
the way of making progress In this state
for a numtu of years. But 'the most
of his talking, will be done, not for him
self, but for the Roosevelt elector The
campaign for Roosevelt Is showing a de
cided slump In the most of the state, and
it is expected now that the best they
can do will be to get th necessary 10,000
or more votes for governor to legalise
their party.
Itcadr for Reed Corn Day.
Seed corn day Is Monday in Iowa by
special appointment of the governor, at
the suggestion of prominent persons In
terested In the welfare of the state. It
is carrying out the work which has been
done by the Iowa State college in arous
ing the people of the stats to the im
portance of gathering seed corn before
October 1 each year rather than trusting
to the chance of getting it by testing in
the spring. The farmers of the state will
generally gather their corn some tlm
during the week and properly care for
it so as to avoid the "danger of a poor
crop which was prevalent this year and
In soma other years.
Western Bote banana iild I n.
Iowa business men have been notified
the last week that the Interstate Com
merce commission has held up the pro
posed advance In rates on freight to fat

time be allowed. The case will be com
pleted under directions of the Iowa, rail
road commission and the business men of
the western cities are expected to con
tribute Information as to how the changes
would affect them. H la expected the
case will be one of the big ones of th
year, " ..

F. D. Babcock of Ida Grove has been
selected as the delegate from the Iowa
' Chautauqua alliance to attend the Inter
rational Lyceum alliance at . Winona
Ind. The reports to the head officers ol
the Iowa alliance are to the effect that

parts of the state wil gather at Sioux
City on October 22 and 23 for the annual
convention of Iowa League of Commer
cial clubs, which is to be held there. An
effort Is being made to have a repre
sentative from every town In the state
that boasts a commercial organisation.
Officers plan to make it a "get-together
in Iowa and for Iowa meeting." 1
One of the most Important matters to
be taken up will be handled by a com
mittee of bankers and merchants , with
th object in view of making Iowa cred
its more suTjstantlal and fostering indus
trial development all over the state. Tha
league believes that many small coricerns
are losing out in the state because of a
lack of confidence on the part of Iowa
bankers. .' v -. -

HOW ONE W0D RIVER
FARMER CURED HIS HORSES
WOOD RIVER, Neh., Sept. 22,-To the
Editor of The Bee: I thought it would
do no harm to tell you of my exper
ience with the dreaded horse disease, I
have hsd five case of it among my
pasture horses In tha last ten days, and
have found in all cases that they were
constipated and that they all had
worms. X think it Is worms that cause
the disease.
I gave one pint of raw linseed oil as
physic and if the horse is very sick, fol
lowed this oil UD with half Dint of
whisky. Ttrfs whisky will ease the horse
and quiet the worms till the oil takes
effect. I give It every hour till well
cleansed out than give some good worm
expeller, but be sure they are well
physicked before giving worm expeller, aa
I lost by doing this, but I saved four
nnd they are doing nicely now. I also
had one that was not sick, but wag con
stipated so bad it took two does of oil
to start him. 1 .Than I gave two does of
turpentine.- , .. . . .. ,, ; ij
I think It can easily be prevented toe-
fore the horses art. taken sick by giving
the raw linseed oil on oats just a little
at first till they learn to like It and
will eat all you give them. Then give
the worm expeller and I am sure yo.i
will not have any sick horses.

WEST DEAF TO MOOSE'S CALL i New Men Appear in
Creighton Suits
fioosevelt Tour Has Aroused Curi
osity, but No Enthusiasm.
HIS POWER TO CHARM IS GONE
Vituperation ana Abase f -Opponents
Make tp His Appeal and
Are Listened to with
Indifference.
John Maynard Harlan of Chicago and
J. Adam Bede of Duluth, who have been
following Roosevelt through the west,
came to Omaha last night for a short
stay. In speaking of the tour, Mr. Bede
said:
"I never hunted -'possom and 'coon
in tha south and bear In the north, but
never had so much fun and got so much
game as on this trail of the big bull
moose. But it is not all fun; we are viewing
the political slaughter of the. most gar
rulous demagogue In American history,
a man who has talked more and done less
tor the good of his country than any one
ever elevated to the presidency. And
Roosevelt realizes his doom. That Is
why he raves and tears as he does like
some wild beast.
"The people are sick of his sham and
pretense, his disregard of the truth and
his predisposition to call everybody, else
a liar. They are beginning to realize
that God Almighty was not unjust enough
to make only one honest and wine man.
They see his naked theft In politics and
his cheap mendacity; his inordinate lust
for power, his Insatiate thirst for re
venge. They have seen him throw away
friendship and honor for personal ambi
tion.
Heveala His Heal Self.
"The best that the republican party
can hope for Is that this mad Mullah will
stay on the stump until election day.
His crowds are large) people will go to
a circus. You know what Barn urn said;
but they are not for Roosevelt. They
are not enthusiastic. I have never
witnessed such degradation aa this man
Is bringing .himself Into. Tet, he did
hla nation a service in revealing hla real
self, for'had he not done so history might
have cheated posterity, but, of course,
his real self made that Impossible.
"I want to tell you Nebraskans that
these bull mooters, while they pretend to
be a third party, are trying to palm them
selves off as republicans where they think
it will do them any good. They are try
lng to put their bull moose brand on our
elephant. . Under Roosevelt'a leadership
they have stolen titles, organizations and
everything else they could, but It will not
help him.
Why He is for Taft.
'As for President. Taft, I am support
ing him, first, because he is a gentleman;
second, because he Is a statesman and has
given the country . a sober, prosperous,
progressive administration; because he !s
honest and honorable, truthful and clean
mouthed; because he Is not treacherous,
would not sacrifice friendship for personal
gain; because he la not a liar, or a
mountebank, or a bully, braggart or buc
caneer. And 1 believe that the American
people's sense of Justice and decency will
bold them to him.
"As I said in San Francisco, lying with
Roosevelt la not a habit it la a gift On
that ground only la he entitled to sympathy."

TAFT REPUBLICANS BUSY
(Continued from First Page.)
Men who came with enthusiasm to hear
him went away disappointed and disil
lusioned. Even the Associated Press,
coldly nonpartisan as it is. has been
obliged to take note of the lack of enthu
siasm In the colonel's audiences and of
Ha unpleasant effect upon the colonel
himself. .
Not always good natured. even when
things are going his way, the colonel's
temper has. taken a decided turn for the
worse with the knowledge that to spite
of his fiercest efforts the people are slip

DARK HROWX TASTE AT LINCOLN
I'aaaaare of the Ball ! Moose Leaves
' MOraina-After Feeling-.
LINCOLN, Sept 23.-(8peelal.)-Tho
capital city of Nebraska awoke early to
day with the dark brown taste of the
morning after. The great General I. Am
of the bull moose party had cunie, saw,
but not conquered.' He came, not with
the enthusiasm and loud acclaim accorded
him In former visits; he saw; not the
streets lined with shoutltg hundreds as
before, and hla departure was hot that of
a conquering hero aa of yore.
With a desperation born only of .
knowledge of certain defeat, he turned
his battery, loaded with vituperation, upon
the republicans to whom he owed alt hla
past honors. But when the amoke had
cleared away the flags of Taft, Root and
Rosewater were still flying gayly In the
breeze, unharmed by the onslaught of the
man who because he could not command
would destroy." , , ' i
Sio Enthusiasm Noted.
At the close of his speech at the Audi
torium the colonel was taken In an auto
mobile, and carried up . and down the
streets of Lincoln In a vain attempt to
stir an enthusiasm In the populace. Gal
lons of good gasoline were poured Into
the busy automobiles in an endeavor to
find some portion of the city where he
might be greeted with cheers as In former
days. But the frantic efforts of the faith
ful were of no avail and as a last resort
he was rushed to the station for a fare
well hurrah. But there were no crowds
at the station, and the great leader at
once burled himself in the quietude of hia
private, car.
Headquarters of the bull moose army
of the Nebraska division is In gloom.
General Corrick alts , with bowed head
and refuses to be comforted. The usual
bustle of tha alda on hia staff as they
hurry to and fro In the luxurious head
quarters equipped by trust money Is ab
sent and they stand about aa If some
great calamity had befallen them.
At Eppersonlan headquarters, where
they still cling to the beloved name re
publican, . but battle against the repub
lican standard-bearer, an Icy chilliness
pervades the atmosphere. Were It not
that Chairman Epperson Is receiving
dally reports giving occasional crumbs
of comfort for the state candidates the
meeting yesterday would cause more
than extreme disappointment.
Some of the appointees of the governor
are not feeling very friendly toward Mr.
Roosevelt on account of hla utter fail
ure to say a friendly word for the state
executive. "I think that shows mighty
little appreciation for what Governor
Aldrlch has done for Colonel Roosevelt,"
said one man this morning. "Should
Governor Aldrlch be defeated It can be
laid to his advocacy of Roosevelt, which
Is costing him many votes among tried
and true republicans."
Another man at the state house said.
"If Mr. Roosevelt had said nothing tn
his speech about other, governors, It
would not have looked so bad, but he
spoke of the governors who had done
things and said 'Even I have been a
governor.' " Right there it would have
been a grand opportunity for him to
have boosted for the Nebraska governor,
but he was so taken up with his own
importance that he forgot all about tha
man. who has sacrificed so much for
him."
Foot ball prospects at Creighton uni
versity have received a big boost by the
appearance of several additions to the
quad. .
Balderson, the swift little halfback who
was out most of last season with broken
ribs, has appeared in a suit; O'Neill, the
fast little quarter, who was Miller's run
ning mate last year, and John Delehant
of the law college have Joined the squad.
Delehant has never played on the first
squad, 'but la fast and heavy, weighing
ISO. Delehant worked on a farm all sum
mer and Is In the best of condition.
Many rumors were set afloat by the
appearance of Justin Young In a suit, and
It was thought the big tackle was to
again enter, but .Young has no such in
tention. He will, assist Coach Miller in
coaching the linemen and with his ex
perience will be of great assistance to
Miller. r

BULL MOOSE MOVEMENT
IN SALINE COLLAPSES
CRETE, Neb., Sept. 2l.-(Special.)-A
large crowd assembled at the depot this
noon expecting to hear Roosevelt speak,
but there had been some mistake made
somewhere and although he was adver
tised to speak the train did not stay any
longer than usual and there was no ad
dress. Immediately after the departure
of the train, . a convention had been
called to elect Saline county precinct
chairmen and prepare to launch progres
sive candidates. Although there must be
100 men in. convention to make any ac
tion of this sort valid, there i were no
more than fourteen-; there at any "one

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
; LINCOLN, Sept. 22.-(Special.)-Accord-lng
to Dr. Bostrom, state veterinarian,
the horse disease Is dying out in places
where It first put In an appearance. "This
Is probably due," he said, "to the rains
which have laid the dust and kept it
from blowing i about and carrying the
germs."
It Is frequently" reported at the office
of the state veterinarian that the epidemic
has been the mean of sending out a lot
of traveling quacks among the farmers
of the state representing that they have
a cure for the disease.. In some Instances
farmers have paid $50 for medicine repre
sented to cure the disease, when It was
absolutely worthless as far as curing
what It was represented to cure. Certain
druggists have not been backward In
putting out a cure, and Dr. Bostrom Is
of the opinion that the farmers, besides
losing large sums of money on account
of the deaths, of their animals have been
filched out of hundreds more by the
fakirs.
.. The governor s of' Kansas has Issued
a proclamation calling the attention of
the farmers to the manner In which fakirs
are robbing the farmers and In ail prob
ability a like communication will be Is
sued by Governor Aldrlch.

INTEREST RATEJS REDUCED
With the Coming of October Home
Builders Get Money for Less.
LOAN ASSOCIATIONS TO F0EE
Redaction Is from Sixty Cents Per
Hundred Dollars to Fifty-Five
Cents Per Hnndred Per
Month.
While the cost of living takes no back
ward step the cost of money tends down
ward In Omaha. . Beginning with October
the millionaire building, savings and loan
associations of this city inaugurate a re
duction In interest charges, to be followed
later, with a corresponding reduction - In
divided earnings. Smaller associations
are likely to follow the lead of the big
ones on or before the first of the year,
the time depending on adjusting their
systems of bookkeeping -to the change.
The present association rate is 60 cents
a month on each pr borrowed, or 7.2
per cent per annum. . The new rate will
be 55 cents a month -on each $100, or
i t per ' cent per annum. Under the
old earnings 6 per cent per annum
was credited to the accounts of share
holders. The reduced interest charge will
necessitate a reduction of tke dividend
earnings, but thla change probably will
pot manifest Itself until the semi-annual
dividend period next July.
I, pun Than Formerly.
When the permanent system of share
Issues superceded the serial plan in
Omaha, some twenty years ago, the inter
est charge was 80 cents per month per
$100. Gradually and steadily has increased
business justified the change, for home
making money has been on the down
grade and the descent Is not likely to
stop until the even half dollar Is reached.
In other ways the associations have ma
terially helped borrowers to reduce their
obligations, as, for Instance, the removal
of all restriction on repayments, partial
or whole. "In consequence of this genu
ine co-operative policy." said an associa
tion manager, "the associations of -Omaha
have grown at an amaslng rate, their
assets today amounting to a little more
than one-half the total of $29,000,000 for
all Nebraska associations."

able remedies for keeping the hair and
