One hundred farmers, with their wives and children, representing an organization of Jn.OOrt agrlctiltui IMr from all parts of Iowa, asked the legislature to appropriate tlOO.mn for short courses and for extending th work of the extension department of the state university. The formers claimed that every county In .the state would dup licate every dollar that the slate would give toward making farming a more scien tific pursuit. More Intelligent methods of farming to cope with the ever Increasing value of lows land was the plea of th defecation. Better optortunltles and In ducements for the boys and girls of the farm were asked. As expressed by B. T.

It Is said that Major Byers at that time pleaded for his own produc tion and no action was taken. The senate must concur In Representative Fulton's resolution before the song becomes of ficial.

Mors than 100 Inmates of the Delaware county poor farm, and that many more of their friends today partook of a banquet made up of delicacies of all kinds, which Is one of the most unique annual affairs of this part of the state. This yearly ban quet was mads possible by Mrs. Grace Spangler. who, when she died left the In come from a 160-acre farm to be used once each year to pay for a sumptuous banquet for the Inmates of the county farm and their friends.

CAME OUT WITH WHOLE HIDE Hand-to-Haad Tnsale with Flfty-Klve Ponaas of Scrappy Wild rate. Two wildcats that made their den in the ruins of the old farmhouse at Bush vllle. N. J., In which Jake Moore and his aged houaekeeper were found murdered more than ten years ago were killed by Fred Stelger and Wash Trenchard, local hunters. Together the cats weighed fifty, five pounds. For weeks the animals had terrorized the Inhabitants of South Buahvllle with hideous cries at night, which, at times could not be distinguished from those of a child. Women were afraid to venture out after dark and the male population remained at home rather than take a chance at putting an end to the disturb ance. When the news reached Sielger and Trenchard that big game pos. lively existed In the swamp near Buahvllle they were not slow In getting together the best puck of hounds in town for an attack. Weil armed, the men drove to ths Moore prop erty and there let the dogs loose. U be came apparent that In order to rout the game, which evidently was partly con cealed under the debris partly filling the excavation. It aa necessary for one of them to go down into the pit while the other remained on guard at the top. This Stelger concluded to do and unstrapping his cartridge belt he made one end fast to a floor timber and with the other end lowered himself to the bottom. One after another the dogs plunged headlong Into the cellar after their master. Removing a pile of boards Stelger saw a pair of green ees staring at him not more than three feet a ay. lis reached fur his gun and fired one barrel. As he did so out Jumped ti full-grown wildcats, spitting and snarling with rage. The next Instant saw ieiger In a hsrid-lo-hand conflict a lib them, supplemented by half a dozen dogs, while Trenchard looked on. power lens to assist his companion. By good luck Sfielger succeeded in kllliag one of the cats as It aaa attempting to get away through the cellar drain and the other was shot by Trenchard after It had fought off the dog and was tr Ing to escape across the fields.

LANDSEEKERS IN CALIFORNIA Special Trains from Omaha Reach the Settlement Belt VISITORS TO SEE SACRAMENTO tossena Craaps Opportunity Pre sented hy F.nrly ArrlTal of Train to Show Off Mis Home City. SACRAMKNTO. Cal.. March IS -iDe- !cial.)-The tide of colonist travel through Omaha. "The Gateway to the West." be Kn pouring out on the lands of California with the arrival of the special tuorist trains here. The hundreds who passed through Omaha from the middle west and from St. Paul and Minneapolis are now looking over the broad acres of the Taclfic coast country. The trains which brought the landseek ers to the west was an Innovation In tour ist traffic. U W. Buckley, one of the managing di rectors of the Omaha Land Show, who l traveling with the tourists, at Trlego. writes: "C. W. Cozzen. known to Omaha land show people as the representative of the A. C. Roebuck Co.. owners of a Sacra mento land tract. Is a booster for his dearly beloved Sacramento vallev. "When he learned from the division sup erintendent of the Southern Pacific Si tlko. Nev.. of the unexpected early arrival at Sacramento he at once set about trying to find out how many of the 200 of the passengers on this remarkable tourist special were for Sacramento and who for points beyond that might have to lay over In Sacramento. By co-operation he helped to arrange so that by shifting around In the sleepers nesrly one-half of all on board could get a chance to see Sacra mento. "More than fifty people were booked on this train alone for Sacramento, this In cluding the members of Colonel B. G. Barnes' party. Ten of the colonists were en route to Fresno. They also embraced the opportunity of the extra fast run to stay a few hours In Sacramento. "One of the most enthusiastic boosters for California was E. B. Piper, president of the II wa Ind and Development com pany, formerly a farmer and merchant of Corning. Ia. Mr. Piper and his family were going west to live and with him was Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Thompson, Charles Shupe and John Olds. All are from the vicinity of Corning. "Last November Mr. Piper visited Fresno and fourteen miles north of that lovely city and seven south of Madera he bought a thousand-acre tract of land. It had ex cellent transportation facilities and a warehouse. A depot will be built and there Is now a $2.0u0 pumping piant on the land, giving good Irrigation. " 'We call It the town of Trlego and we are selling it. In five to forty-acre tracts with many sales already. I am pleased to say. We have placed three families there now. taking out four more and In October we will take out ten more famlllee," said Mr. Piper. "We are promised a postof fice soon. All of our people sold their farms In Iowa and some one takes their places In the Iowa community. Our rea sons for moving are very easy of explana tion. I was nine times In Canada and once In the southwest and we believe we have at last found a land under Ideal conditions. The West for Poor Man. " T.and to be profitable must, ben in a good climatic range and with good trans portation:, also have an advancing profit, future. High-priced lands are not for the poor man nor the small Investor. Iowa land Is good, but to the limit for Invest ment, except to be held as a safe perman ent Investment by the man willing and able to hold. I have lived seventy miles from Omaha and am proud of It " "I read The Bee and approve Its at titude towards the up building of the city through the development of the great trib utary west. We are not hurting Iowa nor Nebraska by rendering our humble aid In In that light. I attended the Omaha Land colonizing the west and It Is only a matter of time and education when all will see It show and derived much real Information.' " IDAHO BOOSTERS ARB WORKING Twin Falls Commercial Clo Prepar ing: Rahlolts. TWIN FALLS. Idaho. March 1. (Spe cial.) An aggresslv publicity campaign Is being prepared by the Twin Falls Commer cial club for next fall In connection with the various land shows to be held In east ern cities. A comprehensive exhibit of the products of the Twin Falls tract will be gathered together at the Twin Falls fair to be held the first week In October, and from this exhibit will be selected enough to make a proper showing at the land shows. The Boise State fair, which follows the week immediately after the Twin Falls fair, will be the first to which the exhibit will be taken. From there the Journey will be made to Omaha, where the biggest land show of the year will be held from October 16 to 2. Next comes the Pittsburg Land show from October 30 to November (, or possibly the New Tork Land show, No vember 12, and then to the Boaton Land show December 2s to January 12. The Chl cage show will be held from November 18 to December t and the exhibit will double back to this from the Pittsburg show. The grains and grasses to be used In making the exhibit In the eastern cities will be tarried In folding cases, ready to open and place on exhibition at once. Cases will be made for carrying glass Jars of fruits and vegetables, and the whole kept In compact order so that the move from one to another can be made without unnecessary delay. In preparation fur this traveling exhibit, and in order to have the display In every way Indicative of the possibilities of the Twin Falls tract, the Twin Falls Commer cial club, at a meeting this week passed a resolution urging upon the farmers of the tract the necessity of planting their crops with a view to exhibiting at the county fair, and later at the land shows. Idaho Stats Day at the Omaha Land show has been set for Thursday, October IV. and In order to make this day a success and draw the eyes of the genersl public es pecially towards the Twin Falls country, the Commercial club of Twin Falls baa started a movement for a special low rail road I ate from Idaho, so that members of the club and other ldahoans may be In attendance.

Ousting Carnegie Element from the OldStcel Trust Independent Corporation to Be Formed, Taking- in Lieutenants of Original Organization. NEW YORK. March It-tSpeclal Tele gram.) The steady elimination of the Car negie element from the Steel trust, the most recent step In which Is the dropping of W. B. Dickson as first vice president of the corporation, will result In the organi zation of a great Independent steel com pany, under the direction of the greatest practical steel makers In the world, ac cording to a circumstantial and persistent report In the financial district today. ' These reiwrts call attention to the fact that the elimination first of Mr. Schwab, and then of Mr. Corey; now of Mr. Dickson and the fact that In selecting a successor to President Corey, both Dickson and President Dinkey of the Carnegie Steel company were overlooked, clearly Indi cates the Intention of those now In control of the corporation to eliminate the entire Carnegie clement. The report goes on to say that already conferences have been held between a num ber of these old lieutenants of Mr. Carne gie, all of them not only profound masters of the steel business, but men of great wealth, and that plans already are In pro cess of construction for the drawing to gether of all the Independent steel com panies of the country, with the Bethlehem plant of Mr. Schwab aa a nucleus and an organization which can battle with the trust in something like even terms. According to these stories, i resident THnkey of the Carnegie Steel company Is to resign and east In his lot with the new combination. WANT UNCLE SAM TO PROPOSE England Looks to United States in Settling International Disputes. LONDON PAPERS ENTHUSIASTIC Knallahmen Nervooe About a Treaty that Might Drsg Them Into a Wnr with the Amer icans. LONDON, March IS (Special Cablegram.) Sentiment in the United Kingdom Is al most absolutely solid In backing up Sir Edward Grey's virtual Invitation to the United States to propose in the language of Mr. Taft, before the American society for the Judicial settlement of international disputes the enactment of a London Washington treaty "to abide the adjudi cation of an International arbitral court In every Issue that cannot be settled by arbi tration." Mr. Taft employed the phrase, "some great nation," and Grey responded In Mr. Roosevelt's fsvclte ejaculation "de lighted." Among ths strongest arguments to Justify the attempt to make such a treaty now Is the theory that the American senate w hich defeated the Olney-Pauncefoote pro posals In 1OT. partly because of Irlfh Amerlcan agitation, and partly because the senate wished to assert Its authority, would not have the former obstacle to overcome. Inasmuch as all Irish-Americans are well wishers of ths Asqulth-Orey administra te Ready to ftmn Vp. To carry out Mr. Taft's idea, it Is argued, would be only to resume the negotiations of nearly fourteen years ago and to make suitable modifications In an Instrument that the British government has always been ready to sign and that commended It self to Mr. Cleveland, the statesman who "challenged us with the Venezuela mes sage." As ths court of arbitral Justice suggested by Mr. Taft would base Its decisions not upon compromise, but upon principles of law and equity. It would be, thinks a week end review, the "most Important and beneflclent achievement of. the twentieth century, short of universal disarmament.' Sir Edward Grey's speech first aroused a suspicion that It was a red herring dragged across the course of the naval debate, where government Is In a tight corner, being pursued both by the op position for not making the fleet large enough, and by the radicals for making It too large. But this suspicion has disap peared. A strong radical like J. M. Robertson. M. P.. confesses that he always found Sir Edward better than his word, and animated by a noble enthusiasm for the highest purposes despite his narrow whig traditions snd his purely bureaucratic career. The most remarkable enthusiasm here la that of ths Imperialist papers, such as tne Daily Telegram, the Times, the Ex press and the Dally Mall, which are as wildly enthusiastic as the Quaker Dallv News. All the churches are united behind Sir Edward Orey. Japan alone Is dissatisfied, for this mun. an end of ths Japanese alliance In 19l. Tne liberals sre averse to Japan owning Korea, etc., while the unionists r. i. fluenced by trade reasons, and all English men are nervous about a treaty which possibly might drag England Into a war wun America. FIRST SHOT OF THE CIVIL WAR Cltlsens of Pine Blnff, Ark., Ask that Some Historical Records Be Corrected. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 19.-8pectal Telegram.) When ths confeeerate reunion Is held In Little Rock In May records will be placed before the historical committee which will undertake to prove that the first shot of the civil war was fired near Pine Bluff, Ark., and not at Charleston, 8. C, as accredited by historians. Citizens ot Pine Bluff will claim that about April 1. lSei. a meeting was called upon the receipt of a message from General Hlndman. stating that two government boats loaded with supplies for Forts Gibson and Smith had passed Cumbeyvllle and were headed up ths Arkansas river. Captains Bocags and Carlton were ap pointed and given orders to capture the boats. The command of the little army was tendered to ex-Governor Roane, but he declined. Captain Bocags was promoted to the rank of colonel and ordered his force to fortify ths banks of the river at a bend Just be low Pine Bluff. Soon after the embryo soldiers were entrenched the boats came puffing around ths point and an order was given for surrender. No attention waa paid to this and a rifle ball whistled through ths pilot house of the Silver Wave the leading boat. This caused ths white flag to go up and the boats turned Into tbe wharf, the first prize for the confed eracy. When a medicine must be given to young children It should be pleasant to take.

PROGRESSIVES ARE UP IN ARMS Ontrome. of the Fight W atched with Intereat la W'aahlnatoo. hot Leaders Will ot Predict the Ontcome. WASHINGTON. March IV (Special Tele gram.) A very pretty fight Is now belnc quietly conducted within the democratic party, the result of which will. It Is ex pected, hsve an important hearinc; on the work of the house during the special ses slon. It Is understood that the democratic members of the ways and means commit tee, which Is likewise the committee on com mittees, has selected tentatively Represent ative Fitzgerald of New Vork chairman of the powerful committee and Representative Adamson of Georgia as chairman of the almost equally powerful committee on in terstate and foreign commerce. The extreme progressives of the partv are up in arms against these two appoint ments and are making a very vigorous I fight to bring about a change. ine objection to Mr. Kltrgemld is that he represents Tammany and Tammany rep resented the revolt against the balance ot the party when It was proposed to smash the Cannon rules. It Is felt, too, that he Is too much of a conservative and Is In clined to the Bailey wing of the party. Objection to Adamson. Practically the same objection Is made to Mr. Adamson. He Is a states' rights man In his views and being a positive man, leaves no question as to where he stands. The Interstate Commerce . commission Is likely to have to pass on some very Im portant matters during this congress and the progressives fear that Mr. Adamson will be a stumbling block to legislation they regard as of vital lmprotance If he Is at the head of the committee. It Is pointed out that Mr. Adamson was at war with the main body of the democrats and with the progressive republicans when he opposed the features of the Mann rail road bill, designed to give the Interstate Commerce commission the power to super vise tha Issue of railroad stocks and bonds. Mr. Adamson opposed giving the power to the Interstate Commerce commission to make a general physical valuation of the railroads of the country, a measure sup ported by the progressive element of both parties. Mr. Adamson waa earnest In op posing the proposition to make railroad companies responsible for bills of lading Issued by them, although the chief cham pions of that measure were his own asso ciates In the house. To Admit Two New States. in opposing the progressives In these and other matters, the Georgian always pro fessed a degree of sympathy with the pur poses of the proposed legislation and has based his opposition on constitutional grounds. Just what the outcome of the fight be tween Adamson and Fitzgerald will be It Is hard to Bay. They are the senior denio ocrats on these committees and both are men who have made many friends. The best opinion at this time Is thst they will not get the chairmanships. Democratic leaders are busily at work on plans for the extra session. In addition to - the prompt passage of the Canadian reciprocity measure and tariff bills, the house proposes to pass the bill admitting Arizona and New Mexico and the resolu tion declaring for the election of senators by the people at the earliest possible moment. Big Feet Under the Normal-Minded Men Reverse with Women, and Those Who Wear Small Shoes Are the Brightest Ones. PARIS, March 19. (Special Cablegram.) That the majority of normal minded men have big feet and most normal minded women email feet Is the latest scientific discovery announced to the world by thi Parte Academy of Sciences It emanates from Prof. MacAuliffe and Marie, who for several months hsve been measuring the feet of French people In all walks of life. They found that only eighteen out of every 100 soldiers were small footed and only twenty-four of every 100 weak minded men big footed. On the other hand they found that only twenty-three of every 100 normal women were large footed, while on.y eighteen out of 100 weak wltted women were small footed. This Is considered to confirm ths ancient theory thst woman Is man's equal, for the reason that she Is his exact op posite. MRS.

"Ttils Is mv son. "Working for Jeus: "All the day long." As the sacred notes died on the lips of scores of religious workers, the 100 union carpenters, who had aatembled in the woixls four and one-half miles from Gnry for the purpose of building the Glen Iark Christian church In eight hours, rushed to their place and began wielding hammers with might and main.
