castelIane Starts Trouble.

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE correspondence
between Count Boni de Castellane and
General Percin regarding report that
the latter had shaken hands with ex-
Captain Dreyfus at NJ. zola's house is
expected to lead to duel between Gem
raj Percin and CASTOR Polonnais, of
the Gaulois.
General Percin, in his reply to Count
Boni de Castellane, who wrote to him
inquiring as to the truth of the report,
said:
You must certainly be the first and
only person who has seriously taken the
information supplied by a renegade Jew
who signs his name in the Gaulois as
CASTOR Polonnais."
Count de Castellane now resents Cen
eral Percin's letter and attacks him for
his equivocal attitude regarding Drey-
fus. Meanwhile M. Polonnais has sent
esconds to General Percin. Yesterday
Count de Castellane wrote a letter to
General Percin, couched in gushing
terms, congratulating hl1n on not hav-
ing shaken hands with Dreyfus
To this General Percin has replied,
saying that he did not accept the
counts congratulations, and. further
more. he denied the counts right to
Judge him.

Thinks American People Will Not Al.

SF

BENEFITS.
Special to Times-Republican.
Grinnell, Oct. 1.-THE Colonial opera
house was crowded last evening to hear
Senator Dolliver, who was introduced
by ex- Mayor Rayburn.
The senator said he believed some
trusts to be good. There was some diff
ference. he said, between a good trust
and bad trust. The bad trust is one
with most of it's stock watered, and a
good trust one that joins several big
enterprises and draws them
together to lower the price of their
product. For the former he predicted a
short life. From the latter good would
come.
He said: There is no room in this
discussion for vain exclamations OF
alarm and despair. Up to this time the
tariff policy to which we owe the pros
rerous conditions which now surround
us has been the ally of independent
capital In its grapple with the modern
trust system: but If the day should ever
come when the productive energies of
the American people are impotent in
the presence Of monopoly, the protec-
ton which for more than a generation
our laws have given to all our indus
tries alike Is not likely to remain to en-
rich such conspiracy of avarice and
greed"
Senator Dolliver also said good
word for Lacey. saying they We're both
products Of the mountains of West Vir-
ginia. and complimented the majors s
faithfulness to the working people of
his district during his last twelve years
Of almost continuous public service.

Crop Situation Gloomy.

Special to Times Republican.
Creston, Oct THE crop sit. don
for Union county is very gloomy and
it looks now as if there would be but
little over twenty five per cent of the
crop saved. Much of the oats has
not yet been threshed on account of
the ground being too wet to allow the
threshers to move Some of the early
corn that was alright has been cut
and shocked, but much of that was
ruined by the rain of Saturday. The
oats and seed, While heavy yield are
!all damaged to a great extent, and the
corn is nearly all unmarketable on ac-
count of being caught by the frost early
last month. The apple crop and late
potatoes are all that will be UP to the
average and these are very fine. The
yield of corn and oats will be heavier
than usual but nearly all Of it will have
to be fed at home

forces In the strike territory before
midnight. The guard will be distrib-
uted by regiments over the anthracite
region.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. News of
the calling out of the entire National
Guard Of Pennsylvania did not become
generally known thruout the region un-
til this morning. It was received in 4
matter-of-fact manner, which did not
cause any commotion or much surprise.
The entire Wyoming valley, of which
Wilkesbarre is the center, is extremely
quiet this morning. The sheriff has re-
ceived no reports of violence anywhere
and in fact there has been no disorder
OF any consequence since last week. The
situation, so far as mining coal is cons
cerned, remains absolutely unchanged.
There is some coal being shipped. but
the quantity is very small compared
with the normal production.
The action Of Governor Stone In
sending all the troops to the strike re-
gion II both approved and condemned.
The coal company officials and others
who hold the same views as the opera
tors think the governor has done the,
proper thing and express hope that
the great struggle will soon come to an
end. They predict with protection for
the men who want to work there Will
be no trouble in getting a SUFFICIENT
number of men to produce enough coal
to relieve the situation SO far as the
threatened fuel famine Is concerned.
Talk among the strikers as result OF
the governors action is even more firm
FOR holding out than it has been at any
time since the suspension was inaugu-
rated. The leaders say they look upon
the struggle nov as a general one Of
capital against labor, and maintain that
with the help of organized labor the
country over they can stay away from
the mines until the operators are COM
PEELED, thru public opinion, to yield the
point. While the miners generally are
condemning the calling of troops, they
say they feel that in the end 1t Will be
a help to them.

NOT a BLOOD AToNEMENT.
Mormon Church Leaders Discuss the
Pulitzer Murder Case.

seyenty-second semi annual conference
OF the Church of the Latter Day Saints
is in session here and the officials are
refuting in the most emphatic language
the published statements that the mur-
der OF Mrs. Pulitzer of New York, was
due to the Mormon doctrine of blood
atonement.
President Ben E. Rich, OF the central
states mission Of the Mormon church,
who has just returned from the east,
said:
.'The murder Is magnifled every day
In the newspapers. They try to bring
the blame for the crime upon the
church. They say in flaming head lines
that this murder resulted from the doc
trine of the Mormon church. They say
the Mormons believe in blood atone
ment. So do all Christian nations;
they believe or pretend to believe in
the atoning blood of Christ for sin.
They say the. dormons believe in an
other kind or blood atonelnent Well,
we do to the same extent that every
state in the nation believes in it-that
a man who sheds another mans blood
shall have his own blood spilled by the
law
Mr.. Rich then read signed state
ment made by the presidency of the
church in 1880 in which they denied
that any apostates had been killed OF
that the church advocated or permitted
any such teachings and in which they
denounced murder as the most heinous
of all crimes
