MANY FARMERS INVOLVED.
Light shed on II widespread scheme

By n slick Gang.

Independence. Ia. Jan. "a
scheme to defraud scores Of farmers
in this part of Iowa has come to
light. 1t is estimated that. had the
plan succeeded, the promoters would
have cleared about So geo, as notes
representing that amount have been
sent to the bank at Jesup. in this
county. for collection. Three months
1go a stranger, giving the name of
John Smith. covered the western and
northern portions of the county and
obtained farmers signatures for vari-
ous causes. lie secured the sigma
lures of at least two hundred farm
RS and possibly more. On Monday a
'arge number of wealthy signers re-
reiyed notices from Chicago law
firm notifying them to meet certain
notes. At the bank were promiSSory
notes TO the amount of $4,000 for
objection, bearing the names OF
lbout seventy men.
The notes revealed the scheme.

SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.
Count Won Buelow Read the EN-
peror's Speech at the Opening
of the Prussian Diet.
GLOOMY VIEW OF ECONOMIC SITUATION.
Revenues From state Railroads
Have Fallen Considerably short
of the Estimates and the Whole
Results of the Financial Year
Have Been Disappointing.

Berlin, Jan. 9.-The speech from
chancellor, Count Won Buelow. at the
opening of the Prussian diet, took a
gloomy view of the economic situa-
ton. 1t pointed out that the revenue
from the state railroads. in 1901, fell
considerably short of the estimates.
and that the whole results of the
financial year were disappointing.
In the budget for 1902 the revenue
is estimated below that of the cur
rent year; but the balance between
the revenue and the expenditure is To
be maintained without having re
course TO a loan.
The speech announced plans for
legislation providing for the housing
of the state wOrkmen and of officials
earning small salaries. Considera bic
credits are demanded for the extern
sion of the state railroads and the
promotion and construction of light
railroads.
\ new canal bill, to complete the
system of waterways, will be sub
mitted.
The concluding portion Of En-
peror Williams speech pointed to the
necessity of adopting measures
against the agitation in the Polish
districts of eastern Prussia; declared
that the UNFOLDING of the political
and economic position of the German
element there was necessary fpr the
self-preseryation of Prussia, and
promised that the government would
fulfill its duty in cultiyating the
German national spirit in that region
and in combating with tirmness all
tendencies hostile to the state. In
this course the government counted
on the support of the German popu-
lation of eastern Prussia. as well as
on the assistance of the whole ma
ton, which regarded any attempt to
drive out the German language aS an
attack on its national honor and dig
nifty.
