THE NEWS In IOWA
CHARGES AGAINST WARDEN.
Complaint IL Made to State Board
GNnntrnI.

Complaint Ia Made to State Board of
Control.
Anamosa, Jan. 14.-Charges of in
competency have been or will be pre-
ferred to the Iowa state board of
control against w. A. Hunter, warden
of the Iowa state prison at this place.
These charges are in the form of
sworn afiidavits made by former
guards and officers of the institution.
The charges have not been made pub
lie, but an ex-officer who until recent
~ held responsible position at the
prison, when interviewed in regard to
the matter, said:
The charges that have been pre-
fcrred against Warden Hunter extend
back for several years, and not only
assert that the warden is incompe-
tent to manage an institution of this
character, but that he has shown
Partially amongst the prisoners. The
September grand jury made an inves-
tigation of an alleged case of cruelty,
but not enough evidence was OBJ
tanned to warrant the finding of an
indictment"
Des Moines, Jan. 14.-Inquiry of the
board OF control IN regard TO the al
legged charges has been made. 1t was
given out that the sworn charges so
far as they have reached the board
have been not directly against War
den Hunter, but against DIR. Druit, the
physician at the penitentiary. But
one sworn statement has reached the
beard of control. This makes serious
allegations against the physician, but
reflects upon Warden HunteG only by
virtue of the fact he appointed the
physician in question. The board of
control has not yet taken steps to-
wards an investigation, as it is wait
ing to ascertain whether the parties,
who have alleged grievances against
the doctor or the warden, aside from
the one who has already made an af-
fidavit against DIR. Druit, are willing
to make sworn statements. The
board will pay no attention to any
thing but sworn statements, but eN-
poets to make an investigation of
such charges as are preferred and
backed up by affidavits.

Statistics of congregational Churches

Returns, more or less complete, have
been received from all but one of the 90
churches OF the state. and, though they
may receive some slight modification,
will stand substantially as given below.
The hope that the downward trend
had been arrested, and that this years
figures would show the gains to which
we had become accustomed in earlier
wears of the decade, is untulfilled. In
stead, we find nearly uniform record OF
decrease. The total membership, 81,
799, is A less than last year; the absent
Ct list has increased 1919, now standing
at 4 773; so that the loss in resident men,
bership IS 173. This loss is not quite so
large as that reported last year, and the
excess OF removals (973) over additions
1864 is but nine. The additional loss is
caused by a shrinkage in several churches
owing to a recount of the actual mem
bership. Additions by confession, SCI,
are slightly increased from last year.
The Sunday school membership, 10,
215, is at a loss ot493 from last year, ana
the average attendance likewise shows
loss OF 425. The membership of Chris
tian Endeavor Societies, 1901, has de-
creased 495. Benevolent contributions
have deer, ased even more than last year,
now standing at $44 446, a loss OF 81,
SGT. Home expenditures, which have
been increasing Tor some years, now
show a decrease OF SIS gel, and stand at
S19S. $50. This last year OF the nine
tenth century was surely not year OF

tional churches of Vermont. Vermont

without disturbing tle system Or upsetting
the stomach. Cough mixtures often nau-
seate. Benson's Plasters are medicinal in
the highest degree, and quickest to act
Placed on the chest or back or on both
at once in serious cases, the good effect is
feltimmediately. The congestion yields, the
cough abates and the breathing improves.
Lung or bronchial affections or kidney
disease, are cured with the least possible
suffering and loss of time.
Benson's Plasters are UNNECESSARILY su-
perior to Belladonna, Strengthening, Cap
sicum or any other combination in plaster
form. They are also preferable to ONT
ments, liniments and salves.
Benson's Plasters have received .ffty:f0e

Brashear, OF Allegheny, says: This is
the most wonderful astronomical dis
covery that has been made Tor 80 years.
1t may be that this is sun so far away
from us that it heretofore appeared as a
star and that it is burning up. This
burning up process may have begun 30 =
900 years ago, and yet it night have
begun only few days ago, as it would
require 1000 years for light to travel
from stars in that constellation to the
earth. Justwhy this star is blazing up
with such sudden brilliancy does not
seem clear. 1t may be that one OF its
satellites has fallen into it and is causing
a conhagration, or it may be view OF

A Sure Cure for Group.
Twenty-Five Years. Constant Use With
nnt EaailmrA.

The first indication OF Group is hoarse-
ness, and in a child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as sure sign OF the
approach of an attack. Following this
hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough: 1t
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough appears, 1t
will prevent the attack. 1t is used IN
many thousands of homes in this broad
land and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn OF a
single instance in whichit has not proved
tfftctual. No other preparation can
show such record-twenty five years
constant use without failure. For sale

1t is estimated that the newly organ
lied United States Steel Corporation
takes in companies owning seventy.eight
blast furnaces, 149 steel works and six
finishing plants. This includes bar mills,
structural steel and plate mills, tinplate
works, sheet mills and wire rod and wire
nail mills. The annual capacity in fin
ished material is about 5000 900 tons.
The company owns Lake Superior iron
mines which produced last year nearly
II 900 600 tons of ore. 1t has 1900
coke ovens, 70 $50 acres of coal lands
and about 80 600 acres of surface lands
in the coke regions. Its lake fleet will
number sixty.siX vessels. When the
Rockefeller ore ard vessel interests are
absorbed, which, it is said, will proba-
bly, be done later, the iron ore capacity
will be increased by about 100000
tons year and the number Of lake yes
sells by ffty-nne, making 1875 large ore
carriers in all. A conservative estimate
OF the number of men employed by the

Foreign News.
No Fire Department,

A recent large fire at Baku, st. Rus
STA, disclosed the surprising fact that
there is no fire department in that city.
1t seems the naphtha interests appro-
priated 5000 to 5000 roubles for fire
extinguishlng apparatus several years
ago, but the matter rested there, because
nobody knew precisely where to
place the engine house and the question
OF procuring state property tor site has
never been settled. This was in spite OF
the fact that the workingmen's tene-
ments or dwelling barracks were quite
near to the oil reservoirs. The Baku
tenements are a chapter in themselves.
Minister of Agriculture Yermaloff visited
them in 1899 and officially reported that
no one OF them was equal to the most
moderate requirements and that 10000
men were living like slaves, many in
houses without windows and in rooms
without beds.
