PROFIT IN HOGS.
A Man Who Has Raised Them
Forty Years and Got Rich.
His Experience.

Mr.. John Cowie of DesMoines, Ia,
in "a paper read before the Kansas
state board of agriculture, gave the re-
suit of forty years experience as
hog raiser. 1t contained much valua-
bic instruction, and from it we CLEAN
the following:

have stayed in the hog business be-
cause there was money in it. I start

wards sold hogs dressed at $1.75 per
hundred pounds. But got away from
that style of hog.
Years after that first experience |
stood in the Chicago market and had
the proud satisfaction of selling four
car loads of hogs of my own raising,
every one of them, and received for
them $3.50. When that check was
cashed there was not a mortgage left
on the home, and there has not been
one on it since. You see | owe to the
hog the greater part of my worldly
possessions. For twenty wears nv an
nual sales averaged over $4,000. When
the children grew up and had to be
sent away to school, and when the
wheat crop failed as it does sometimes
with US in Iowa, my main reliance to
foot the bills was the hog, and he
never yet failed me.
II wish TO speak to you plainly in
regard to breeding and feeding hogs
in the manner that has been most prof
liable to me. What l say in regard to
this animal is not theory, but is per-
sonal experience at close range
"The first requirement in the hog

is too much risk from loss unless you
have proper shelter for both brood
sows and young hogs.
"Another important thing is the
pasture.

treble the population of New York,
have but 30,373 such shops. That is
IA difference of 4.267 in favor of the

Congress to Provide for Suitable
Memorial to Be Erected
at Washington.
A Conference Of the Committee
Named in the Bill Be.
fore Congress.
Plans Contemplate Acquisition
OF the Lincoln Relics at
the Capital.

Washington, March 24.-Secretary
Hay presided over a conference at the
state department at which were pres
emit Secretary Root, Senators Cullom,
Mcmillan and Wetmore, Sculptor st.
Gaudens and Architect McKim. The
object of the conference was to per-
feet some details of the pending Gull
lom bill looking to the erection OF
memorial to Lincoln and also to the
acquisition of the Lincoln relics now
on exhibition in this city in the house
where Lincoln died. This house be-
longs to the government, but the relics
are the property of Mr.. Oldroyd, the
custodian of the building.
The persons who attended the meet
ing were those named in the pending
Cullom bill as the commission to de-
wise plans for the memorial. The
meeting was anticipatory of the enact
ment of the law and, lacking full pow
ers, nothing definite could be accom-
plished officially. However, 1T was
agreed that the site for the memorial
should be that fixed in the plans OF
the park commission, namely on the
north bank of the Potomac near the
observatory. Messrs. st. Gaudens and
McKim were charged to prepare rough
outlines Of the proposed structure as a
basis. for the ascertainment OF the
amount of the appropriation congress
will be required to make.

New York, March 24.-After rigid
into the queer double fire
in the Astor House on Wednesday
night Fire Marshal Freel at o'clock
yesterday morning ordered the arrest
of Edward ]. Farley, one of the hotel
elevator boys on charge Of attempted
arson.
Later, after having stoutly main
tanned his innocence for a long time,
Farley confessed not only to having set

tor House, but others as we'll
Farley is son of the head porter at
176 East Eighty eighth street. Thru
out the investigation, which began as
soon as possible after Wednesday
nights fires, and lasted continuously
until Farley's arrest, suspicion kept
pointing more and more strongly to him
as the incendiary. Even in the fact of
most damaging facts, however, he
maintained that the suspicion was un-
just. Finally the key to the room in
which one of the strange fires occurred
was found In his pocket and then his
arrest was decided on.
He told me- said Fire Marshal
Freel, that his motive in every c;ase
was to help put the fire out, and from
what we know this seems to be SO. 1t

idea of the f1rebug being to see the

NOT ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
Denied He Is Mixed in Fight Being
Waaed in Chicago.

Chicago, March 24.-Paul E. Lowe
refuses to break the silence and diyulge
the name OF the prelate who. he asserts,
is behind Father Crowley In his con-
troversy. If there is such a person
who is strivin gto GUST Archbishop Fee
han and Bishop Muldoon, in an effort
to secure a cardinals hat, Mr.. Lowe
seems to be the only person who admits
it, and he will not give any name. The
report that b. V. Hubbard, editor of the
New World, had named Archbishop
Ireland as the mysterious man behind
the fight was denied by Mr.. Hubbard,
who said:
THAT Is false. 1t is true eulogized
Archbishop Ireland as power, not on
ly in the Catholic church, but in the
country, and that I said he was an am
bilious man, as all men must be who
have secured positions such as he holds.
But as for his being at all mixed up in
the fight now being waged in this do
cese. know nothing"

WIFE KILLS HUSBAND.
Shoots Him Down to Avoid Vicious
Assault

Assault.
Washington, Ind, March 24-Liberty
Kempf of the firm of Kempf Bros. was
shot by his wife and instantly killed at
their home in this ETY. last night.
Kempf was one of the most promi-
nent men in Washington, but his one
fault was intemperance. Several times
while intoxicated he chased his family
from home, Mrs. Kempf once appearing
at police headquarters in her night
gown and bare feet, seeking protection.
Two weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Kempf
returned from q pleasure trip to Cali
fornia, and they seemed to live happily
until Saturday, when a quarrel arose.
kempf last night entered Hoffar's
restaurant, and after eating supper the
proprietor asked him for the payment
of 80 cents for lunch which Mrs
Kempf had Sunday morning. kempf
was intoxicated, but he paid the
amount, and remarked that he would
never pay another lunch bill contracted
by his wife.
4 AS he entered his house Kempf seized
a chair and with it lifted over his head
started toward his wife to strike her.
Running to dresser drawer, the
woman secured revolver and COM
menced firing. The fifth shot struck her
husband just above the left eye and he
fell to the floor dead. A 6-year-old son,
Walter, was a witness to the affair."
The wife, with her little son in her
arms, rushed from the house, and going
to the city hall, gave herself up to the
police

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Justice Mayer, Of New York, Dis
charges Florence Burns.

New York, March Difference
Burns, the young Brooklyn woman who
has been in the custody of the police in
this city since February Is, under sus-
picion of knowing how Walter Brooks
met his DEATH was discharged from
custody by Justice Mayer Saturday
night.
Brooks, who was young commission
merchant here, had been keeping COM
pany with Florence Burns. He was
found dead the night Of February Ia at
the Glen Island hotel The gas in the
room was turned on and there was a
bullet wound in his head.
The district attorney tried to show
that Florence Burns was likely to have
killed Brooks because he was trying to
break off his association with her. The
defense advanced the suicide theory
for several days. Justice Mayer has
been examining into the two theories.
He finally decided, when the hearing
closed Saturday, that nothing had been
brought out sufficient to hold Florence
Burns to the grand jury. After her dis
charge she returned to her home in
Brooklyn.
AT the hearing in the afternoon At
torney Backus, representing the Burns
girl, made his argument, contending
there was not an iota Of evidence to
show that his client was connected
with the death of Brooks.
Assistant District Attorney Schur-
man answeredsin an argument intended
to cast suspicion on the girl and hold
ing that there was plenty of circum.
stantial evidence on which to bring the
case to the attention Of the grand
jury.
Justice Mayer reviewed all the evil
dence and held that nothing had been
brought out by the state sufficient for
him to hold the girl for trial in the
criminal branch of the supreme court.
Justice Mayer is judge of the special
sessions court and sat as examining

HoERs SEEKING PEACE.
Leaders Said to Be on Their Way to
Kitchener Under EIaq of Truce.

London, March 24-Peace is again in
the air. Last night the West End
clubs We're greatly excited by the news
from Pretoria that President Schalk-
burger of the Boer republic. with ex-
Secretary of State Reitz and Com
mandants Lucas Meyer and Krogh, had
arrived at Pretoria on a special train
from Balmoral fifty miles east, under
a flag of truce, and had gone on south
into the Orange River colony.
This surprising intelligence is gem
orally understood to mean that nego-
tiations on the subject of possible
peace are once more in progress.
Schalkburger and his companions are
believed to have gone south with the
object of meeting Lord Kitchener, who
is believed to be in the field south of
Vaal river, directing the operations
against Delarey.
The disturbing question is whether
the negotiations between Schalkburger
and Kitchener will deal with general
Boer submission or will merely affect
the immediate following of the leaders
who are with him. The fact that Botha
is not taking part in the negotiations
affords ground for the viey that there
is no question of general surrender.
The universal opinion, nothwith-
standing, is that the prospects for
peace are brighter than they have been
for many a day.

Apprehension at Washinaton.

l
Washington, March Pin spite of
the surface indications that peace in
China ard the preservation of the ter
ritorial integrity of that great empire
seems assured thru alliance of Great
Britain and Japan and the joint declar-
alton Of Russia and France looking to
the attainments of these ends, the di-
plomatic situation is regarded here
with greatest concern.
1t is not going too far to say that the
most recant advices foreshadow crisis
which will be fraught with danger to
the whole world.
That Russia and France on the one
hand and England and Japan on the
other are. preparing themselves to meet
whatever may come is learned on au-
thority SO high and SO thoroughly
trustworthy that it cannot be suscepti-
bic of doubt.
Instead of clearing the situation the
announcements Of the English Japan
csc alliance, and the joint declaration
of Russia and France, have only served
to increase the tenson and make more
uncertain the future of China and for
that matter the future of the great ma
tions concerned.
When this government was informed
that England and Japan had entered
into a coalition to preserve the integ-
rity of the Chinese empire the impress
sion created on the minds of those con-
cerned i'll the making of American poll
icy was that 1T marked distinct adj
vance in the interest of peace between
the powers.
When only last week Russia and
France declared their sympathy with
the objects undertaken by England and
Japan, the first view in Washington
was that the conditions which the Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt administrations
had SO earnestly striven to bring about
were practically attained, or at least
the pathway had been cleard for an
amicable understanding which would
work for the betterment of the civilized
world.
Since then, however, the feeling here
is not 80 optimistic. Additional infor-
nation and the opportunity to study
the terms in which the Russian France
note was couched have brought to the
government a realization that the cri-
sis is approaching and that something
else must be done to clear away the
dangerous clouds that have again be-
gun to gather on the international hor-
lion.
In a measure, the government of the
United States, while it does not hold
the key to the situation, is an import
ant factor in this great world. Russia
or France Or England, or Japan, has
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1902-03-24

not made any official overtIres to this
government to secure a definition of
come, in which the one or another of
the powers first named would be arr
rayed against one or both of the 9TH
ers.
The attitude of the United States is
to well understood to permit any of
these nations to risk an almost certain
discouraging answer from Washington,
with the consequent moral effect it
would probably have.

France and Russia Sounding the
Powers Regarding the Chi
nese Situation.
Seek to Know Attitude OF the
Nations in Case Of Hos

Promise Of Neutrality by Ger
many and America May
Hasten War.

London, March 24.-Events in diplo-
matte circles indicate chat the respon-
sibility for maintaining the peace Oh
the world may soon be thrown entirely
upon the American and German gov
ernments
1t has been discovered that the
Russo French declaration regarding
the Anglo japanese alliance has been
followed by important negotiations.
France and Russia have asked the 9th
err powers, including the United States,
Germany, Austria and Italy, what will
be their respective attitudes towards
the new alliance.
The inquiry in at least two cases in
Guided the question whether neutrality
will be maintained in case of war be-
tween Great Britain and Japan on the
one hand and France and Russia on the
other.
The British foreign Office, which is
fully aware of these international in
quiries, utterly discredits any belliger-
.ent significance. 1t is pointed out that
it is the diplomatic custom to exchange
,rotes between governments regarding
portant treaty.
There can not be any doubt that Rus,
STA and France would be exceedingly
pleased to obtain pledges of neutrality
from America and Germany, The re-
Iusal of such pledge by both countries
would almost certainly prevent war.
There is good reason to believe that
Germany has already given such re-
fusal; in other words, the kaiser in
s.sts that he will retain complete lib
erty of action.
England is confident that the United
States will take similar attitude. She
does not expect America to come to her
assistance, but she does believe that
the Washington government will do
nothing to precipitate conflict which
American trade interests in the far
east.
1t is not going too far to say that
declaration at the present moment of
American neutrality in case of war
might precipitate that war; This is
probably fully understood by the
Washington government. Hence the
confidence here that no such declara-
ton will be forthcoming.
Last nights news from South Africa,
which indicates that the Beers desire to
negotiate for peace. has important
bearings on the situation. If by any
possibility Russia has belligerent de-
signs she will either bring them quickly
into action, before England can trans
fer her army from South Africa to IN
dia, or she will abandon them entirely.
