WASHINGTON , Jan. 25. ( Special. ) Sec
retary of Agrlcnlturo Morton U determined
that the tree seed distribution shall be ef
fectually killed during the present session of
congress. Ho Is moving In this m.attor be-
couso of the Birring support he Is receiving
from the press throughout the United States ,
A supplemental letter to the ono lie offered
to the joint meeting of the senate anil ) iou. < o
committee on agriculture January IB , has
been Issued , In which the secretary goes to
still greater lengths to show that this frco
seed distribution , which lias been recognized
as a factor of the government ever slnco Its
creation In 1839 , Is subject to no end of
chicanery and fraud.
.To show how the dealers worked the de
partment , for seeds , the secretary offers In
evidence n number of bids for seeds from the
various seed houses of the country. J. C.
Vauglmn of Chicago seems to have been par
ticularly pernicious In bidding at figures be
yond all reason for the commonest seeds used
In horticulture. Ho offers "a number of rare
and useful seeds. " to nuoto the language of
the bid , and three varieties of vegetable
seeds. The flower seeds , according to the
secretary of agriculture. Include such things
us "giant Paris pansy" at J.15 per pound ;
ns "giant Paris pansy" at J2G per pound ;
double morning glory , " $40 per pound ; "pe
tunia , whlto star , " $ G5 per pound ; "white
branch aster , " $3G per pound ; "Chinese prim
roses , " $ GO per pound , and "clmbaud ca-
nintln" at $128 per pound. The- board , It Is
needless to say , promptly decided 'that ' the
flower seeds at these prices were not adapted
to general cultivation , and to promote the
gnneral Interests of horticulture and agricul
ture In the United States. It would seem as
If the prices had been propagated at the
expense of the flowers themselves.
OTHER BAD CASES.
This bid was deficient In the quantity of
each that could be supplied and a number
of other bids which the secretary has offered
In evidence show the Incompetency and In
direction of the bids just as high priced and
In some cases as humorous as anything Mark
Twain has ever written , the bid of Messrs.
J. M. Thornburgh & Co. of Now York bring
particularly comical. Including , as It did ,
a variety of vegetable- and only thrco speci
mens of field or farm feeds , namely , Havana
tobacco seed , Bermuda grass seed and
twenty-flvo bushels of No. 1 wheat "by par
entage one-half wheat and one-halt rye , $3
per bushel. "
In 1839 an appropriation of $1,000 was made
for the purpose of collecting and distributing
rare and Improved varieties of seeds and
flown to the year 1865 the seeds were pur
chased out of the general fund , BO that there
ia no accurate Information at hand with re
gard to the amount used for this purpose
prior ta that year , but slnco 1864 a separate
appropriation has been made annually for the
purpose of buying and distributing seed and
from 1865" , whom an appropriation of $61,000
was made , down to 1896 , $2,581,674.81 have
been spent In twenty years fo'r tus purchase
mnd distribution of seeds.
WENT TO BOTH EXTREMES.
In the three years of his term of office
Secretory Morton has distributed to member *
of congress nearly 9,000,000 packages more
than did his predecessor In office. In the
.doing of which he- believes that ho went to
the utmost limit of the authority given him
under the statute , but ho has determined to
wlpa this feature of the Department of Agrl-
'culturo Off the books and he seems to make
out an exceedingly strong case In showing
that the government has been a Junk shop
for the deposit of old seeds of which dealers
could not in any possibility unload them
selves for love or money. It has been a
fruitful source of revenue to unscrupulous
dealers and any reform In this matter , after
the people of the United States thoroughly
understand It , will undoubtedly bo nailed
with considerable satisfaction.
CAUSED A POSTMASTER'TROUBLE.
There is a big row on at Moulton , la. , over
an attempt , of Postmaster Kllllen and thirty
or forty citizens of that town to remove the
postoHlce from Its present site. The petition
and protests have been filed with First As
sistant Postmaster General Jones , who has
about decided to let well enough alone In view
of the fact that a change In location would
Increase the present rental $50 per month.
Congressman Melklejolm will leave next
week for Nebraska to participate In the con
vention devoted to the sugar Interest , to be
held at Fremont. From letters received Mr.
llolklejohn look * for a most enthus astlc meet-
Ing.
Senator Allison , who Is wearing a eaven by
nlno smllo since his return from Iowa , will
on Monday call up the urgency deficiency
bill from his committee and seek to secure
Us passage , with provision for carrying on
United States court affairs and providing for
paying United States marshals. In many
cases courts have been permitted to run
along on money advanced by outside Inter
ests , and it Is for the purpose of reimbursing
thcso persons that the bill will bo rushed
through.

Snnlli \ < > t n PMillfnt Field ( or Woman
WASHINGTON , Jan. 25. The features of
today's meeting of the National American
Suffrage association was the detailed report
on organization. The executive committee
considered the trouble over the so-called
"woman's bible" and It wao agreed that the
question was a personal ono , of 'which the
general organization could take no cognizance.
A call for subscriptions to the general lund
resulted In the raising of $3,900. Tlu report
ot the committee on organization was sub
mitted by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. She
said In the work of organization during the
year the south was made the first field of
labor. Many workers were enlisted and
many converts won there. Yet the work had
not been no fruitful of organization ) ! as had
boon anticipated. Whllo many clubi were
reported , many ot them failed to survive
the ridicule and persecution with which they
were welcomed by their townspeople.
"If we will persistently follow the path
thus blazed , " the report went on , "tho south
will yet be organized and the votes of the
fifteen states now mildly opposed l-i woman
suffrage In congress will bo changed through
the Influence of their constituency to solid
advocacy of our cause. "
Fourteen persons have served as organizers
during the year , CIO meetings held atid aid
In organization given to thirty-one states.
The report made a strong plea for tbu ob-
tervatlon of Elizabeth Cody Stanton's birth
day as a fitting occasion , far tno diffusion of
suffrage sentiment. It closed by expressing
the conviction that It Is possible to build
, a great organization ba < < d on the one pl.it-
'form of the enfranchisement of women.
The plan of work for 1S9C was presented
nt this afternoon's soislon. Miss Anthony ,
tlio president , made an address , utglng
women to watch nil political proceedings r-rd
to secure from candidates for office pledges
to support woman suffrage. She conipncnte.1
nn the Influence of women at the polls In
Kentucky , Now York and eisewnrro and
criticised men whom they had Indlrec'ly
helped for not standing by them when the
woman suffrage test came.
A number of reports from the field were
submitted by working organizers and Maine
waa pointed to ns the next state to follow
tlio example of Wyoming nl Utah. The
latter part of tbe session was devoted to a
"parliament of methods. "
The evening session waa devoted to a re
view ot the field work In various states and
Mrs. Sanders , wife of ex-United States Sena
tor Sanders from Montana , predicted that
Montana would soon contribute another star
to the flag of the suffragists. In a lengthy
addrefs Miss Elizabeth B. Curtis , the daugh
ter of the late George W. Curtis , charged
the men "at the top and not at the bottom"
with the responsibilities for the failure of
universal su5 > 'Jge. They can lead , she said ,
bub they will not , because the welfare of
their country la less to them than their pri
vate Interests , _ _
ARRAXC5IXU RERINCJ SEA AFFAIR.
Great Hrltnln Acce'pt * tlio PropoMltlon
to A'rhltrutc the Matter.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 25. Secretary Olney
was called on today by Sir Julian Pauncefote ,
the British ambassador , who submitted the
final acceptance ot the British government of
the plan of a Bering sea commission to pass
upon tbe claims ot Canadian sealers seized
prior to tbe Paris award. It remains only
for tlio president to submit the plan to con
gress , and as the legislative branch has re
fused to pay a lump sum for tbe seizures , It
Is considered certain that the commission ar
rangement will be approved. It Is qulto likely
that the president In submitting the plan to
congress may suggest onca more the desira
bility of a lump payment as the most expe
ditious means of settlement , for the coin-
mission of arbitration , If agreed to , will bind
tlio United States to any payment awarded ,
which may far exceed tlio lump sum pro
posed.
The commission Is to be composed ot one
American commissioner , one British commis
sioner , and an umpire to bo chosen by the
two. The- personnel of the commission has
not been suggested , but there Is a belief that
the president of Switzerland will be asked to
act as umpire , or some ono designated by the
Swiss president , if the sessions of the com
mission necessitate the presence of the um
pire In this country.
In view of the pending request of the Vene
zuelan * commission to the British government ,
Sir Julian Pauncefote's call at the State de
partment on the Boring sea. matter led to
some comment as to Great Britain's probable
anrm-or to the letter of Justice Brewer , trans
mitted through Seoretary Olney , but It Is un
derstood that the ambassador bad no In
formation to Impart on the subject , and that
the British foreign office has not given any
Intimation as yet aa to its purpose. There Is
reason to believe , however , that there will
bo no action on the Brewer letter within a
month or more , ns the request will go
through the usual slow channels of diplo
macy. The answer of Venezuela Is expected
to be delayed until about February 14 , as the
mall transmission of the request and answer
will take until then.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 25. The Inquiry Into
the Navy department's connection with the
manufacturers of Harveylzed steel was con
tinued by the senate committee .on naval
affairs today. Commander' Folger , against
whom , as chief of the bureau ot ordnance ,
the Investigation Is largely directed , was pres
ent , but at Chairman Cameron's suggestion
postponed his statement until the other wit
nesses should bo beard. There were , there
fore , no witnesses before the committee to
day. Senator Chandler presented the record
In the law suit of James II. Davlos against
the Harvey company , In which Folger's con
nection with the company waa developed. The
committee then entered upon a general con
sideration ot the cost of tbe manufacture
of armor , In which connection there arara
a formal dlscutulon of Senator Smith's bill
for the establishment ot an armor manufac
tory at Washington. None of the committee
was possessed of detailed Information as to
the cost of armor and It was determined to
obtain detailed Information on this point.
Sufficient Information was derived , however ,
It Is said , to convince the committee that
the price of $500 per ton now paid lu too high.

DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS KEEP SILENCE
Cotitninnilnnt of Fort Sheridan In Dla-
fnvor nt WanlilnKton 'llronimc ot
the Inefficiency of Illncllillnc
nt 111 * Pout.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 23. Secretary Lament -
mont and the officers of the War department
who are In a position , to know It any stop *
have been taken In the case ol Colonel Grot-
ton of the Fifteenth Infantry , stationed at
Fort Sheridan , still refuse to discuss the
matter. It Is , however , regarded hero as
very Improbable that the secretary btmsclt
has addressed a letter to the colonel Inviting
him to apply for retirement. If any move
ment has been made In this direction , It
probably has been through a third parly and
not directly In the shape ot a communication
from the secretary. Whllo under the law
Crofton may retire by virtue of the fact that
ho 1ms served In the regular establishment
for moro than thirty years , ho cannot bo
compelled to ask for retirement. If ho re-
fusjs to accede to a request from the de
partment to make such an application , then
the only manner In which Colonel Crofter
could bo relieved from nctlvo service wouU
bo to court martial him ; and It can be statci
that at present there are no charges on flic
at the War department. The secretary ul
war could , of course , change his detail ant
order him away from Fort Sheridan to any
duty consistent with Colonel Crotton's rank
December 18 , next. Colonel Crofton will
have reached the ago of 62 years , and then
under the law , the president may retire him
without waiting for an application , as was
done In the case of General Carr. Otherwise
the officer could remain tu active service
until December , 1898 , when , having rcschet
the ago of 64 years'his retirement would bo
absolutely compulsory.
Colonel Crofton was born In Ireland De
cember 18 , 183J , and was appointed In 1861
directly a captain In the regular army , so
that ho Is neither a volunteer officer nor a
West Pointer. His promotion was regular ,
and his record of service during the war
was creditable , he displaying conspicuous gal
lantry at Chattanooga and Sblloh.
His troubles began when ho assumed com
mand ot Fort Sheridan , In 1891 , and his
friends hero assert. In his defense , that they
are duo to the refractory composition of his
regiment , the Fifteenth Infantry. There acre
complaints of the state of discipline- the
command , as evidenced In the frequent quar
rels among the officers and mon , culminating
In the killing of Captain Hedburg. Ugly
stories have been afloat hero as' to the
grounds for these events , and there has been
talk of whisky and women , and other scan-
al ? , but If this has taken any official shape
It must have been concealed In the evidence
taken In secret In the court martial pro
ceedings against Lieutenant Paguo , which
evidence Is now In the archives of the War
department , and has been read by Secretary
Lament , and It Is said by the president him
self , as a basis for action In approving the
recommendation of the court martial , that
the lieutenant be dismissed from the army
for the attempt upon the life ot his superior
officer , Colonel Crofton. It Is known that
the War department has been much dissatis
fied with the state of affairs st Fort Sheridan.
The movements Incident to the great strike
last year were used to shift around some
of the more actlvo disturbing elements , but
the result was not entirely satisfactory , and
It Is assumed that the dissatisfaction of the-
department has been made known to the
commandant at the fort , and perhaps has
served as the basis of the report of a request
that Golonel Crofton retire.
CHICAGO , Jan. 25. A special to the Dally
News from Washington says : General Sel-
bert , Judge advocate general of the army ,
who examined the record of the Paguo case ,
eays It contained no reflection upon Colonel
Crofton. Another , who works upon the
records In the War department , said today :
"I read every word of the record In the
Paguo case. There Is nothing In It upon
which to hang a rebuke to Colonel Crofton.
In view of the sensational stories concernIng -
Ing Colonel Crofton's conduct , I was sur-
prlssd to find the evidence showed nothing
damaging to Colonel Crofton personally , or
reflecting upon the discipline at Fort
Sheridan. "
AMEUICA\ $ AUK OUT OJf PAUOI-K.
oniclnl Ncim from United StntCH Con-
mil nt JoliiiiiiicHliurpr.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 25. The State de
partment today gave out the following state
ment :
Manlon , consular agent at Johannesburg ,
cables Secretary Olney that all the Ameri
can prisoners are- out on parole , except
Hammond , whoso case differs from that
of the others In that Hammond signed a
constitutional Invitation to Jameson to come
back to Johannesburg In case of extreme
peril. Jameson marched toward Johannes
burg , however , before trouble arose. When
this was discovered American and other
leaders Issued proclamations upon the people
ple to refrain from hostilities. Instead of
Inciting rebellion , Hammond. In the begin
ning , raised the Transvaal flag and all In
the moment swore allegiance. Clement and
other Americans took arms from many and
sent thorn homo. Not a shot was fired by
the Johannesburg party ; there was no dis
turbance , nor a single act of hostility. Arms
were peacefully surrendered and every ef
fort made to maintain 'the republic as against
encroachment. The cases against the Amer
ican prisoners arrested will bo tried In
court , though the government has not yet
Indicated the time of prosecution. He adds
that 'the ' Transvaal government has acted
magnanimously.
In view of the foregoing It Is believed
here that neither Hammond nor any other
Americans are In serious peril. The State
department has cabled Manlon to ut < o the
most actlvo and vigorous measures for the
relief of the Americans , and to that end to
miiko the Twnyvaal government direct rep
resentations on behalf of the United States ,
which In the case acts Independently , of
-course , In Its own Interests , and In behalf
of Us own citizens and not as the sympathizer
or ally of any other power.
AUV1CHSIO TO THIS I''UI3I3 SHIP
Semite Committee UnniilinoiiHly On-
Iioncd to It ,
WASHINGTON , Jan. 25. The subcommlt-
tea on shipping of the senate committee
tc-day decided to report adversely the free
chipping bill providing for the admission ot
foreign built ehlps to American registry.
This bill had been recommended by the secretary -
rotary of the treasury and the commissioner
of navigation. The negative vote was unan
imous , Including the three democratic mem
bers of the committee , Messrs. Gorman , Mur
phy and White.
The subcommittee authorized a favorable
report upon Senator Fryo's bill to repeal the
provision In the existing tonnage tax law ,
which relieves tlio/vessjls of other countries
from paying this tax when tbo governments
of the countries to which the vessels belong
similarly relieve our vessels. It Is under-
D'.O : < ! that the administration Is favorable
to this bill , It Is regarded by some as an
effort at retaliation against Germany for
her exclusion of American products.
Major Qulnn of the engineer corps of the
army and J. W. Bryant were given a hear
ing upon the Importance of Mississippi river
improvements.

WASHINGTON , Jan. Strong opposition
to the ousting of tVf ) , , vlntruders ot the
Cherokee .nation In tile * Indian territory before
fore their claims to citizenship pan bo pasooi
upon by representatives ' < of the federal gov
crnmcnt Is made ln A'oport by Secretary
Smith , forwarded tod4y''to ' ' the house com
mltteo on foreign affairs' ; In rsponso to a
request for his oplnl6n'4on a senate Joint
resolution. Scurotajr ' Smith recommends
that congress Immediately provide so mo
mode by which the decision ot the Cherokee
nation ns to the cttltonehlp ot Intruders can
bo reviewed. "Averse as I am , " ho said
"to disregard the treaties made with Indlar
tribes , I bellevo that those of the alleged
Intruders , who claim to bo citizens ot the
Cherokee nation , or to bo entitled to citizen
ship under that nation's existing legislation
should have the action of that nation with
regard to their citizenship reviewed by rep
resentatives of the United States bcforo the
government undertakes to enforce the adverse -
verso findings as to the citizenship. When
ever the decision ot the Cherokee nation
Is sustained and the claim to citizenship
by the alleged Intruder denied , then the
Intruder , under the plan I suggest , shoiili !
bo removed from the territory at once , In
compliance with the agreement made between
the United States and the Cherokee nation.
But whenever this Impartial tribunal holds
In a particular rare that the alleged In
truder Is , In point of fact , a citizen of the
Cherokee nation , or entitled under the laws
and usages of that nation to citizenship , then
I do not think the United States should take
any part In his removal. "
Continuing , the secretary says that after
the ratification by congress on March 3 ,
1893 , of the agreement of December 19 , 1891 ,
between the United Stales and the Cherokco
nation , thU department held that by the
terms of that government tbo Cherokee
nation Is to bo the solo judge of any right
of any person to citizenship within that
nation , .and when a person Is declared to bo
nn Intruder , the United States authorities , on
demand of the principal chief , nro required to
eject him. There Is therefore , according to
the report , no authority now remaining with
the department to review the decisions
rendered by that nation as to who are or who
are not Intruders. It would , accordingly , bo
the department's duty to undertake to eject
from the territory these designated as In
truders by the Cherokee nation , but strong
representations of the Injustice of such action
have been made.

CLEARED A CLOUDED TITLE.
County I.IIIK ! Owncm Finally
Mmle Happy.
DBS MOINES , Jon. 25. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The local officers of the federal land
offlco today received Information from the
general land office at Washington that the
necessary work has been done to secure the
t'.tlo to property In the city of Marlon , Linn
county. About fifty years ago the super
visors of that county appointed a commission
to buy ICO acres of land and plat It for a
county seat. The slto of what Is now the
central part of the city of Marlon was
bought. The land was sold and the city
built on It. The propery Is now worth about
$3,000,00 0. Several months ago It was dis
covered that the land was never patented
from the government to the county , although
the county had supposed this had been done
and had sold and given warranty deeds to
the lots. The result was that there was not
a good title. In the entire plat. The matter
was kept quiet for a time and steps taken to
have the error remedied. This was difficult ,
as some of the commissioners of fifty years
ago were dead. But the matter leaked out
and caused qulto a panic In Marlon. After
a good deal of trouble the difficulty has been
settled und the tltlo righted through the
general land office.

DBS MOINES , Jan. 25. ( Special.-Tho )
makeup of the standing committees ot the
lower house has given much dls.iitlsfactlem
and .will . have a tendency to make the path
of Speaker Byors a thorny ono for the- re
mainder of the session. It Is difficult to wo
how It could have been otherwise. With
only forty chairmanships at his disposal It
wus utterly Impossible to satisfy twlco that
number ot members. At least one-half ot
tlio eighty republicans In the lower bouse
were bound to be disappointed In the very
nature of the case , while a largo number
of others could not hope for a commltteo of
any great Importance.
It was a foregone conclusion that Funk of
Hardln , who practically dictated iho selec
tion ot the speaker and made possible the
nomination of Mr. Dyers by acclamation , could
* have anything ho wanted. No ono was sur
prised , therefore , when Funk cast asldo the
chairmanship of his old committee suppres
sion of Intemperance and selsjtod the com
mittee onways and means , a position that
brings him to the front as the recognized
leader of the republicans on the floor of'tbo
house and gives him the practical control
of the pursa strings of the state. Mr. Funk
Is neither reckless nor extravagant , and In
the end It may bo a fortunate thing for the
taxpayers that the representative from -Har-
dln has been placed at the head of this Im
portant committee.
The strife between Allen of Van Buren and
Weaver of Louisa for the chairmanship ot
the judiciary committee resulted just as many
anticipated. Both of these aspiring members
were given co-ordlnato positions nt the head
of subcommittees on revision of the cede and
neither attained the distinction he so earn
estly sought. Mr. Cornwall of Clay , who was
the choice of the speaker for this most Im
portant position , ly a young lawyer of marked
ability , and will fulfill his duties acceptably
to the house.
Representative Early of Sac , who was
Speaker flyers' lieutenant In the preliminary
contest , has been placed at the head of the
commltteo on Insurance and given leading
positions on other Important committees.
The committee on suppression of intem
perance will have a safe majority In favor of
the Pusey bill authorizing tlio manuticture
of spirituous , malt and vinous liquors for
legal purposes.
The woman suffragists will have an over
whelming majority on that commltteo In
favor of their most advanced Ideas , and whllo
this wlirtnsuro them a hearing on the floor ,
It does not guarantee the passage of any bills
on this subject.
DEPENDS ON JEFFERSON COUNTY.
The fate of resubmlsslon so far as a favor
able report Is concerned all depends upon
the casting vote of Chairman Brighton. Of
the thirteen , members of the commltteo on
constitutional amendments six will probabiy
bo arrayed upon each side and It will de
pend upon the action of the chairman
whether the recommendation shall bo that
"It do pass" or "be Indefinitely postpcned. '
Whllo bills unfavorably reported sometimes
run the gauntlet safely , the fate of nine-
tantlis of all the measures Introduced Into
the legislature Is determined by the action
of tlio 1'tandlng ' committees to which they
are referred.
Chalrnun Brighton represents the heretofore -
fore prohibition county cf Jefferson , but
saya his people are divided on the subject ,
and ho will make a careful canvass of his
county and ascertain the opinion ot the most
trusty party leaders and endeavor ID act In
accordance with the prevailing sentiment.
The fcoldlers' monument , which has been
partly erected. Is bound to como up again
as a disturbing factor in legislation. A de
cided majority of the last general assembly
wau In favor of placing the monument In the
center of a park of liberal dimensions , and
these views were ehared by perhaps every
member of the mcnumont commission , when
It came to selecting the site , however , It was
found that real estate speculators had se
cured optlonn on all Iho proposed locations
with the evident Intention of unloading tholr
holdings upon the etato at exaggerated fig
ures The lawmakers resented this and re
fused their assent to such thrifty trans
actions. The state owned a Tiart of a block
Just south ot the now capltol building on
which the old state house used to stand , and
though totally Inadequate for the purposes ,
here It was determined the monument should
stand. It was originally designed for the
state to watch Us chance and quietly pur
chase adjoining property from time to time
aa the occasion might demand. Real cat at a
surrounding the monument has steadily risen
In price since the monument was located and
It Is now seriously proposed tlfat the uncom
pleted shaft bo taken down and removed to
nome other location , to be designated by the
legislature , coupled , of course , with a liberal
appropriation.
Then there Is anything but a unity of sen
timent as to the finishing touches. Whether
only dead generals , or both the living and
Iho dead , shall bo hogorod , or whether the
colonels and even , minor officers who fought
Bravely 'and with conspicuous gallantry In
Iho late war , do not deserve ssmo recognition
on a monument erected In memory of the
deeds of all the Iowa soldiers who took part In
suppressing the rebellion , are problems
which are yet to bo satisfactorily solved ,

CHEROKEE , Ia. , Jan. 23.-Special. ( ) At
different times during the pist six months
articles have appeared In the press comment
ing on the art ot manufacturing maple pyrup
from corn cobs. The fact that a first class
article can be manufactured has been thor
oughly demonstrated by the recent success
of a citzen of this county , who has "surprised
the natives" by making a syrup from cobs
that an expert cannot distinguish from the
genuine article. It has the color and taste ot
genuine Vermont maple syrup and Is , so far
as can bo told by taste and looks , almost an
exact reproduction. The party who Is en
gaged In the. new Industry Is a resident of
Marcus , Cherokee county , and expects , In the
near future , to enter Into the business on a
largo scale , for which purposu a stock com
pany Is already being formed.
Samples of the syrup are being sent to all
parts of the country for Inspection , and
should It glvo satisfaction , as It has at
home , the now Industry will bo a paying ono ,
as It can bo made for less than half the cost
of the genuine , and Is an excellent substitute.
People are going to Marcus every day from
the surrounding country and towns to Inves
tigate tlio matter , and all go away satisfied.
Tlio process employed In obtaining these re
sults Is yet a mystery to the public , as only
a select few have boon takea Into the secret
after a solemn promise not to dlvulgo any
of the details.
Arthur Maltby , proprietor of the Cherokee
Steam laundry , nnd Miss Rhoda Eltrink , a

torn down as the surging mass of people
crowded to the entrance. Many were tram

no fatalities will result. There was also a
panic , though less serious , among the guests
of tlio Loomls hotel , across the street. The
opera house block was entirely destroyed , to

JEFFERSON , Ia. . Jan. 25. ( Special. ) A

Interested In the celebrated Anne Bogardus

the pist week. It appears this Dutch lady
died early In 1700 , leaving valuable property
In the heart of Now York City. Her pur
pose was to so formulate her will as to
prevent future litigation , but Instead It has
created no end ot It. In this city the
families of Brldgeford , Tew , Nihoff , Scher-
merhorn , Brown , Wiggins , Staring and
Gcsner are descendants of this worthy lady ,
and of course are Interested In the final out
come of the matter. It Is not believed , how
ever , that anything will como of It , from the
fact that the matter was agitated at Boone
some years ago , where Mrs. Obedience
Brlggs , a direct descendant of Anne Bo
gardus , resides , and the matter thoroughly In
vestigated by a prominent attorney. Ho
discovered that the casa had been thoroughly
tested , and that euch men as Henry Clay
and Rufus Choato were Interested In the
proceedings. The decision of the court nt
that time wau In effect that all right ot the

Any honest physician will tell you that
there Is but one way to get Increased flesh ,
all the patent medlclneu and cod liver elUte
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Nature has but ono way to Increase fleih ,
strength and vigor , mind and body , and that
la through the stomach by wholesome food ,
well digested. There 19 no reason or com
mon sense In any other method whatever.
People are thin , run down , nervous , palo
and shaky In their nerves simply because
their stomachs are weak. ' *
They may not think they have dyspepsia ,
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food , or what they eat Is not quickly
and properly digested , as It should be ,
ir , Harlandson nays the reason Is because
the stomach India certain digestive adds
and peptones aud deficient secretion ot gas
tric juice.
Nature's remedy In euch cases Is to sup
ply what tbe weak stomach lacks. There
are several good preparations which will do
this , but none 00 readily as Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets , which are designed especially
for all Btomacli troubles and which cure ill
