AT least twelve creameries in Rice
county 'are in successful operation
and are paying institutions. In most
cases the farmers are the owners.
Two creameries in Fairbault alone
have been paying to the farmers
over $1,000 each per month. Some
farm lands, twelve to fifteen miles
east of that city, have brought as high
as $50 per acre and some a little more
than that, even. There are not very
many good, cultivated farms in that
vicinity on the market that are for

AN INQUEST TO BE HELD.
To Inquire Into the Cause of Thos. C.
Jones' Death.

Yesterday morning II was discovered that
Thomas c. Jones. aged sixty-seven, a labor
er employed under the District government,
had died during the night at his lodging
house, ITO II street southwest, the unfor-
tunate having passed away in bed unknown
to the other people in the house. Until
bruises on the head were discovered II was
believed that the man had died from ma
tural causes. Then the matter was reported
to Coroner Woodward. and the body was
removed to the morgue. where DR.. Schaef-
fer assistant TO the coroner. made an au-
topsy this morning. A fracture os the skull
was discovered, and the coroner thereupon
decided to hold an inquest at the morgue at
3 o'clock this afternoon.
The day preceding his death, II is SAID
Jones had $50 or $40 with him That even
Ing he is understood to have called on his
son, who lives at HOB 9Th street southeast
The deceased was then apparently in goo!
health and left his sons house per
fectly sober. Where he went after leav-
ing his son is not fully known, but late that
night he is said TO have reached his board.
ing house and TO have stumbled in
to his room in manner that created the
impression that he was in an Intoxicated
condition. He went TO bed and nothing
more was seen or heard of from him until
he was discovered dead in his bed yesterday
morning.
The police think # more than probable
that the dead man died from the effects OF
injuries received during an attempt TO rob
him after he left his sons house.

The Mysterious Disappearnnce.

The mystery attending the disappearance
on December 20 of Arthur II. Rowland of
Boston was somewhat cleared yesterday by
positive information that Mr.. Rowland was
alive. w. F. Ellis, formerly Mr.. Rowland $
partner, admitted that he had received a
telegram from the supposed dead man with
in few hours. 1t was sent from a town in
New Jersey, and was signed "A. d. Vance "
Mr. Ellis declined to make a disclosure of
its contents beyond saying that they indi-
Gated that Mr.. Rowland had left the place
where he had been for some time, and was
now travelling He would not reveal his
Howland's wife had also heard from him by
this time
A. II. Rowland disappeared on the night
of December -. He was supposed to have
jumped from the steamboat Pilgrim while
on his way from Boston to New York city
A man who answered his description regis
tered himself as A. II. Hading at the Put
nam House the next morning. He was suf-
1er1ng from influenza, and physician and
nurse were procured for him. A few days
later he went with his nurse to the Murray
Hill Hotel, where he registered as A III
hathaway. At the end of a week he went
away, saying that he was going to look for
cheaper quarters. He employed a Young
woman typewriter while at the Murray Hill
Hotel, and strange man called on him
several times at both hotels. After he had
gone away the young woman met the
strange man on the street and he told her
mat Hathaway was dead 1t was said that
Howland's life he'd been insured for $50 600
ana the disappearance was a trick to secure
the amount of his policies.

MEN FOR THE NAVY.
Sailors Needed to Man the Ships to Go
Into COmmi sSion,

The need of more men for the navy is
becoming urgent, in view of the large num-
Der of new vessels shortly to be put in COM
mission. with others that are to be restored
to active service, after the completion OF
repairs now in progress. The Navy Depart
ment is having no little difficulty in provid-
ing the necessary number OF sailors and
marines for the vessels being made ready
for active service.
The vessels expected to go in commits
Sion before the first of May include the
famous flyers Columbia and Olympia, each
of which will need about $50 men; the2 OO0-
ton ships, Marblehead and Montgomery;
the Roach ships. Atlanta and Boston: the
cruisers Raleigh and Cincinnati, and the
old-timers. Alert and Marion.
About 1900 additional men will be re-
quired for these ships, and there are less
than half that number available. 1t is ex-
pected that Secretary Herbert will appeal
to Congress to allow an increase in the
number OF enlisted men, as otherwise II will
be impossible to properly man the ships
There are few men collected on the re-
ceiving ships waiting for these vessels and
very few more can be enlisted without
overrunning the legal maximum. The
problem before the Navy Department can
be settled only with the assistance of Con-
greSS.

DECLINE OF THE ALLIANCE.
Admissions Made at the National Con-
ventiOn at Topeka.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb THE representa-
tives of the National Farmers Alliance in
session here admit that the order is weaker
in every state in the Union than it was
year ago. While processing to be non-par-
usan, 1t has become a political organiza-
ton in every state where 1t has a member
ship As in Kansas, it has been the fore
runner of the peoples party, and nearly
every delegate to the national meeting is a
populist. They explain this away by say
ing that the populist party comes nearest
representing alliance principles
The big fight of the meeting will be over
U. l.. Upsons proposition to change the
constitution. Epson resides at Buffalo, N.
Y, and is strongly supported by l. E. Dean,
also of New York state, who believes the
plan advocated by Epson should be adopt
ed by the national association. The change
contemplates some sweeping modincatlons
in the present constitution.
Under the present laws state Jurisdictions
and their subordinate alliances are per-
mitted, SO long as they do not contraVene
certain well-known principles, to work I'M
der constitutions of their own. Epson
fight is to change the constitution SO as to
give every state and local alliance the same
organic law He has been working on this
for the last ten months. He says 1T would
give the organization a government SIM
liar to that of the Masons and odd Eel
lows, which is necessary for the perpetual
ton and future growth of the order.
Epson says the organization IN New YORK
is non-poltical, and is confined to twenty
counties in the western part OF the state
He admitted that the members were most
ly populists, he being a member of that
party, but high protectionist. SO lar the
alliance has taken no part in the politics OF
that state.
Mann Page of Virginia is the only eastern
representative who is fighting Epson s
scheme He says 1t would not strengthen
the council and would change the entire
policy, making 1t kingdom instead or a
republic which it is now. The source OF
power, he says, now Is in the people. BY
the Epson constitution 1t would be in one
man. In Virginia the alliance has lost
membership because the members went
into the populist movement and tried TO
make it the beneficiary of the alliance or
ganization. This drove men out or the
order who were either democrats or repub-
icans, and who would not tolerate Sc
cret society that tried to control their pol
itics.
Representatives from the southern and
western states confirm Pages statement.
They say the membership has fallen on
nearly one-half and that interest In Inc
order is dying out
For the purpose of arousing renewed IN
terest in the alliance throughout the state
a secret address has been issued TO the
president of each county alliance admonish-
ing him to begin at once the work of re-
organizing and building up the order, sug-
costing that the month of February be oe-
voted to a general revival in all the SUD-
alliances, to the end that the members may
be induced to come back and take up the
great work before the order.

ROWLAND REAPPEARS.
BostOn's Missing Civil Engineer Con-
fers With His Former Partners.

HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. Nv. F. Ellis
and A. II. Rowland, Boston's missing civil
engineer were in this city early this morn
ing and had a conference. AS a result OF
the conference Rowland took the $50 train
back to New York. 1t is thought that he
was advised that it was scarcely safe for
him to come to Boston yet.
Rowland left New York at 11:3O last
night. He was accompanied by an insur-
ance detective and a newspaper reporter,
who found him in New Jersey. He was met
in the depot at Hartford by w. F. Ellis,
who drove him to hotel, and a conference
of several hours duration ensued.
1t was decided that Mr.. Rowland should
issue a statement which will clear Miss
Jones, the stenographer, whose connection
with the case has created such a commo-
ton.
Mr. Ellis refused to say what the state
ment contained, but said that it would be
issued in New York and wired to Boston
for publication there. Mr. Ellis did not
know when Rowland would come to Bos-
ton.

TO TEST THE BIG GUNS.
A Party of Distinguished Omcials
Will Make a Trip to Indian Head.

One Of the most important tests of ord
nance ever held in this country will take
place at the Indian Head proving grounds
next Monday, il the necessary arrange
ments can be perfected in time. 1t will be the
trial of one of the twelve thirteen-inch
guns manufactured at the Washington gun
factory for the three battle ships, Massa-
chusetts, Oregon and Indiana. These are the
largest guns ever built in this country,
and the coming trial will be watched with
special interest by naval officers and ord
nance experts generally. The rife selected
for trial first has been in readiness for some
time, and would have been tested before
but for the lack of the necessary powder
1t is expected that the powder will be on
hand by next Monday. The manufacturers
nave notified the department that IL has
been ready for shipment for some time, but
that the transportation company does no,
seem disposed to act hastily in the matter
Railroad companies are strongly opposed
to the handling of explosives, and viii
never take any risks in it's transportation
Such articles are taken subject to delay
and are transferred from place TO place
by the easiest sort of stages.
1t is this uncertainty in regard to the
ammunition that prevents the completion
of the arrangements for the trial on Mon
day. Further delay in the receipt of the
Powder will necessarily cause a postpone
however, that the trial will certainly take
place next week, even if it shall be delayed
until Saturday, the 18th. A number OF
prominent officials will attend the trial
including Secretaries Herbert and Lamont
Gen. Flagler. chief of the ordnance depart
ment of the army; Commodore Sampson
chief of the ordnance bureau OF the navy
members of the naval committees of Con.
gress, and the military and naval attaches
of the various foreign embassies and lega
tons in Washington. An effort will be
made to induce the President TO be present
but II is not likely to succeed in the pres
ent pressure of public business.
The following figures give a slight idea
of the size, power and other characteristic
of the big gun and its ammunition:
Weight, 135, 500 pounds about sixty tons)
total length, 40 feet: greatest diameter, 4.
inches; length of bore, 454.4 inches: length
of chamber, S0.SS inches; capacity of cham
Der, 1909 cubic inches; weight of charge
of powder, $50 pounds; weight OF projectile
LOO pounds muzzle velocity of projectilt
(service). 2.10O foot seconds; muzzle energy
of projectile. 30, 62I foot tons. A service pro
jectile fired from the gun is calculated tc
penetrate twenty inches of steel at dis
tance of 1000 yards.
1t is not at all probable that any more
thirteen-inch guns will be built for ths
United States navy. The present tendency
is to reduce the diameter of the bore tC
twelve inches and the weight of the CUR
to about forty-five tons. The twelve thir
teen-inch guns will be equally divided
among the three battle ships already
named. The battle ship Iowa, of greater
displacement than they. will have foul
big guns of the twelVe-inch type.

Free Trade in Argentine,

Minister Zeballos of the Argentine Re-
public has received a telegram announcing
the triumph of the radical or opposition
party at Buenos Ayres in the congressional
elections which took place Monday Min
lister Zeballos believes. however. that the
government or national party elected a
majority of the new congressman in the
interior states, and that 1t will have con-
