Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1902-11-26

The most formidable feet of war
ships ever brought together under
the stars and stripes is assembling in
the caribbean sea, and within few
days Admiral Dewey will assume
command of the fleet as commander
in-chief. The general plan of the
maneuvers will be similar to that in
the north Atlantic off the coast of
New England last summer, but on a
much larger scale. The president and
Secretary Moody believe in practical
drills, exercises that will prepare the
American fleets for effective service
should they be pitted against foreign
foes. The combined South Atlantic
squadron, consisting of the South
Atlantic and European squadrons will
be in command of Admiral Sumner,
which will operate against the North
Atlantic squadron under Admiral
Dewey. The search problem" will
be the chief feature of the program,
after which the squadrons will all
assemble off Culebra under command
of Admiral Dewey and spend two
months in naval evolutions.

1t is reported that between 10000
and go 900 colonists have gone into
the far western, northwestern and
southwestern States during the past
two months. The movement of home
makers and settlers has never been so
great in the history of western rail-
roads. The western States are anxious
to have the Government irrigation
works commence construction at the
earliest possible date.

Last Years Big Apple Crop.

An eye-opener to the possibili- ties in fruit production in this country was the paper by Judge 1. B. Lawton on "fThe Great Apple Crop of 19O1," read before the state horticultural meeting at Fayetteville.
 Mr. Lawton stated that the little Prairie Grove railroad handled, with what is still in cold storage on their line, 440 cars of green apples and 45 ears of dried ap- ples-all the products of Benton county. In addition, Springdale shipped AGO cars of green and b cars of dried apples; Fayetteville, 300 ears of green and 90 cars of dried, and the St. Paul branch railroad fifty cars of green ap- ples.
 Coming back to the crop of Benton county, he stated that it5 crop the past year was in round numbers 5000 barrels of apples shipped out. These have loaded, or will soon load from cold storage 1872 cars of green apples. The eyaporating plants took 6o0,00 bushels and produced 4,200,000 pounds of dried fruit, that loaded l8t cars. One distiilery and two cider factories used 150,000 bushels, and there were a num- Der of other cider mills of which he had not the statistics. In ad- dition to this was to be taken in- to account apples sold locally, fed to stock and still in the cellars of the growers. The grand total of Benton county's 1901 crop the judge estimated at not less than 2,225 ,000 bushels, which has all ready put into the pockets of the raisers the sum of S1, 155, ,250.

What Wireless Teiegrapl1y Is

In order to follow intelligently the advance of wireless telegra- phy from the beginning some rough idea must be had of the physicists's views regarding the nature of the electrical phenom- ena. To this end all space must be regarded as permeated by a something termed luminiferous ether. Not only does this ether permeate the spaces between the heavenly bodies and our atmos- phere (which conception offers little difficulty to the lay mind), but it also penetrates all solids. Further, it's nature is such that the movement even of solids IS not in the least restrained by such permeation, the closest an- alogy being that of 8 sieve, rep resenting the solid, being moved about in water representing the ether
 The ether is the seat only of all electrical phenomena of light and heat. All of these, appar. ently so distinct, are but the re- suit of vibrations or waves on the ether. The apparent differences being due only to differences in the length of the waves and the rapidity with which they occur, just as one musical note differs from another in the same partic- ulars, only that the sound waves are air waves and not ether waves.
 Now with the usual telegraphic methods the current, as 1t IS termed, is sent or directed through space by means of a me- tallic conductor. Actually noth - ing passes through the wire, as is implied by the use of the word current. ' What actually takes place is the transmission of en- ergy along the path of the wire, by means of vibrations in the neighboring ether. That is, the metal of the wire acts merely as a guide for the ether waves to the destination desired.
 In wireless telegraphy, ether vibritions are also set up at the transmitting station, but these having no conducting guide radi ate in all directions through space, and Q small percentage ol them arrives at the receiving station, and by means of suitable apparatus are made appreciable by the senses, or recorded.

PARTY REORGANIZATION.
Geo. O'Nea1 Thinks That Will Be Result of the Republican Row.

Geo. w. O'Neal of Harrison was in town Tuesday looking after the shipment of several cars of cedar posts, which has been purchased by the Ozark Post & Timber Co.,, of which concern he is the president.
 Mr. O'Neal is keeping in close touch with the war that is now on between the republican lead- CTS of this state. He believes that the movement that has been instituted by Messrs. Foreman and Auten will result eventually in uprooting the present state or ganization. He says that there can scarcely be no doubt that Stahl will be decapitated along with Remmel and Cooper, and that the movement will hardly end with them, but is liable to effect many other recommendation and appointments that have appar- ently been settled.
 Mr. O'Neal, it will be remem- bered, was an appointee under Stahl during the first year of the latter's administration as marshal for the western district, and was one among the number of Stahl's employees who preferred charges, accusing the marshal of several different kinds of corruption in his management of the affairs of the marshal's office.
 Mr. O'Neal is uncompromising- ly of the opinion that justice will be prostituted in case Stahl is not now removed from office without undue delay.
 A hearing in Stahl's case was set for Thursday of this week, but at the hour of going to press, no news from the action, if any has been taken, has come to hand.
 There is no question but the Foreman Auten movement is gathering strength as the days go by. There are hundreds of re- publicans over the state ready to join them in revolutionary movement as soon as they are convinced that Mr. Foreman can succeed in the matter he has now undertaken.

Aid for Drought Sufferers.

Prominent citizens of Izard Sharp, Baxter, Fulton and Ran dol ph counties met in mass con- vention at Franklin, Izard coun- ty, last week, and decided to ask for aid for the drought sufferers of that section. The convention organized by the election Of D. L.. King of Sharp county as chair man and Ransom Gulley of Izar1 county secretary. The committee on resolutions reported that on an average 75 per cent of the farmers of the Sixteenth judicial circuit are in need of aid, 50 per cent be- ing entirely destitute. Resolu- tions were unanimously adopted calling on the general govern ment, through the members of congress, for aid. Resolutions were also unanimously adopted requesting tie governor to cali an extra session of the legislature for the purpose of postponing the payment of taxes until December

houses, restaurants, etc. Besides, If we were disposed to criticise Fayetteville, we could truthfully state that there are plenty of homes of sufficient capacity and hospitality to give the horticul- tural society a more royal enter talnment than 1t received at Fay etteville.
 There is not the least particle of danger but that Green Forest will give ample entertainment to all who come, and there is no reason from point of location why a larger meeting should not be held here than ever before in the his- tory of the society. While the Fayetteville meeting has been credited with an attendance of from 200 to 300, yet 59 votes was the largest vote cast in the elec- tion of officers on the afternoon of the second day. We hope to see the attendance 500 next year and if your Fayettville cores pondent will attend we feel sure he will publicly apologize for his remarks about Green Forest.

ITS IA RED HOT CAMPAIGN.
Gubernatoria1 Fight Opened Be-
 tween Davis and Rector.

A correspondent gives the fol- lowing account of the opening of the gubernatorial campaign at Hot Springs last week:
 Greek met Greek here when Gov. Jefferson Davis and Elias Rector crossed political swords in joint debate yesterday afternoon. The lie was passed.
 Gov. Davis had invaded, to use his own phrase, "the enemy's country'' For two hours and half the warfare of words and charges continued.
 At the conclusion each was smiling, the one confident that he will be re-elected governor of Arkansas, the other equally con- fident that he will succeed to that position.
 ''I charge" {" said Mr. Rector, in reply to the governors open ing statement, "that Gov. Davis has slandered and brought into disrepute the fair name of the state of Arkansas.
 Davis, who was sitting but 8 few feet away, jumped up. His face was flushed. His body trembled.
 Raising his right hand he de- manded an explanation. Il want to hear that last remark again. Did 1 understand you to say that 1 have slandered''-
 "Your speeches have slander- ed the state," was Rector's warm reply.
 Continuing Rector said:
 q charge further that he has misappropriated the public funds of this state and as attorney general bought combs, brushes and soap for his personal use at the expense of the state. Not only that, but he purchased fans mot palmleaf fans, but these whirligig expensive affairs. ''
 Davis retorted by den ouncing as absolutely false the charge that his speeches had brought islander or odium upon the state.
 As to the use he made of pub- lie funds the records would show he conducted the affairs of the state with strict integrity.
 He dwelt upon the manner in which he handled the state con- tracts, and turning on Rector with the index finger of the right hand pointed directly at him, and would repeatedly say:
 "Can you deny that l am speaking the truth?
 There were many women in the audience and the governor ap- peaIed to them for vindication.
 '"They say my oratory is such that ladies dare not attend while l am speaking. 1 ask if I have breathed one syllable that would bring the blush to your cheeks?
 "If any one has been slander- ed 1 think I am the one. The same old gang that was after me two years ago is after me now.
 The people were with me then and l won. They will be with me again, and l ask you fellow dem- ocrats to give me Garland coun- ty."
 Wheeling around and again pointing his finger at Rector, the governor exclaimed: "You have slandered me iii your own home, at your own fireside. Is that becoming to & gentleman? I will treat you better when you come to my town. "
 There will be ten joint debates between the rival candidates.
 Mr. Rector stated today that he was more sanguine than ever of beating Davis at the primaries, on March 20. A victory at the democratic primaries is equiva- lent to an election in this state. Gov. Davis laughs at Recoor's s claims. He says he will ''win in a walk. .
 The governor is also very con- fident that he will succeed in de- feating the future political aspir- at;nnS nf the IInited StAtaS Sana-

HISTORIC sTAGECOACH.

Preserved In the Postal Museum at
the National Capital.
One Of the most interesting relics Of
obsolete postal service to be seen 1T
the museum i'll Washington, says lhe
Washington Post, is an old time Rocky
Mountain combination passenger and
mail coach, built in 1868. Tus was
among the first of its kind to carry the
mails in Montana, the route of this par
ticular coach being from Helena to
Bozeman. the trip consuming week,
The residents along the same section
now receive four mails daily. The
coach was donated to the museum by
S. S. Huntley, general manager of the
Yellowstone Park Transportation com
pany. 1t was captured by Indians in
1877 and recaptured after hot pur-
suit by General Howard. Many dis
tinguished persons have travelled in it,
among them being General Garfield, be-
fore he was president; President Ar
thur, on a visit to Montana in 1888,
and General Sherman, on tour of in
spectiOn in 1877. The latter was a pas
senger when the coach made the dis
tance from Fort Ellis to Helena, 1913
miles, in eight hours, six horses being
the team, with frequent relays.
This antiquated affair on wheels is
the simon pure typical stagecoach of
the Beadle dime. novel. The James
brothers and the Fords may have en-
riched themselves by looting this iden-
tical relic Of the west. There are
front and rear boot, the former. under
the drivers seat, being the repository
Of Uncle Sans mail bags, the rear boot
serving to carry baggage. Heavy
leather springs and iron tires. to the
wheels half an inch thick enabled the
vehicle to withstand the rough usage
to which it was subjected. With ca
pacity inside for nine people, others
riding on top and beside the driver,
with slots in the sides Of the coach
through which rifles could be aimed it
seemed evident that knight of the
road had to be of reckless mold to
tackle one of these once a week Eek

The History Of culation.

incubation is NO new thing. The
CA3nese were the earliest to practice
1t. They dipped plug Of cotton or rag
In the virus from pustule and placed
1t in the nostril. Two ancient English
physicians, Gilbertus Angelicus and
John of Gaddefden, both speak OF
smallpox as commonly known, but the
Chinese remedy was unknown to them.
The first book OH smallpox was writ
ten by a priest and physician who
lived at Alexandria and wrote thirty
books on physic in A. D. 6S3. He also
knew nothing of vaccination, but ad-
vised swimming, drinking ice water in
large quantities, saffron and warming
medicine
The real discovery of vaccination, we
IRE told. was made before Jenner con-
Quoted his experiments. In the year
1714 it occurred to Benjamin Jesty, a
Dorsetshire farmer, having the old no
ton about cowpox being an antidote
for smallpox, that it would serve as
well to be "cut" for cowpox,> so ac-
cordingly he himself did actually "cut"
his wife and children for that disease.
But Jesty is unknown to fame. Jen-
ner's name is blessed-and banned-by
millions.

In nearly all streams where the cur
rent is swift you will find the nets Of
the caddice worms tucked down be-
tween two rocks or fastened to a fiat
stone on the brink of waterfall.
These little nets catch stray water
bugs and sometimes entangle small
fish. They are made of silken fabric
which the worm spins with its mouth
and are shaped like a funnel. the lar
ger end being pointed up stream so
that the water, rushing past, spreads
them out in position. The nets are very
strong and quite similar in construc-
ton to spiders web. Close by his net
the little fisherman builds his home
Lift up the nearby rocks, and under
them you will find a little bunch of
pebbles bound together by silk threads.
In among these is small silk tube, In
which the worm lives. Were 1t not for
the pebbles attached to it the caddice
worms home would go sailing down
the stream. AS an extra precaution he
oftentimes fastens one end of the silk
thread to large stone.

1t is conceded by the State that Mol
ineux did not intend to murder Mrs.
Adams. He did not know her. 1t was
shown in the first trial that there was
and the theory is that the intention
was to poison Cornish. Under the
common law, if a person attempts to
murder one person and the attempt
results in the death of another, the
crime is the same as if the purpose of
the attempt had been accomplished
Therefore it is only necessary to prove
that Molineux attempted to poison
Cornish, and that the death of Mrs.
Adams resulted. 1t was shown that
the bottle-holder was purchased in
Newark, and some connection or ac-
quaintance was shown between the
prisoner and an employe of the firm
that sold it. One Of the main features
of the evidence for the prosecution was
the testimony of writing experts, who
undertook to show that the hand
writing of the address on the bottle
was that of the prisoner This, taken
in connection with the handwriting in
certain letters, with the alleged motive
for the crime and with certain proof
and theories about the purchase of the
poison, was the principal evidence for
the State. T.
All the evidence seems to have been
circumstantial. Nothing in the ma
ture Of direct connection with the
crime was shown. To sentence a man
to death upon the testimony of hapd-
writing expert would seem to be a
most hazardous proceeding.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Never give poultry water in the morn

All the stimulants breeding fowls
need is wholesome food and drink in
proper quantities.
To fatten the cockerels rapidly, CON
fine them In close quarters and feed
cOrnmeal cooked i'll milk
Short legged fowls fatten quickly.
Long legs are hard to fatten. Those
first hatched fatten quickest in a
brood
Fowls sgEdom tire of milk. They
may eat too much grain or meat, but
milk in any form is palatable and
healthy.
The roosting poles should be on a
level with each other. This will pre-
vent the fowls all trying to roOst on
the top perch.
A fowl or animal in which an excel
lence unconstitutional is apt to trans
NIT all this excellence i'll all the de-
veloped power and beauty to its prog

In selecting for breeding the pullet
should be at least year younger than
the cock. This will conduce to the
strength and good health of the off

Kindred Minds.

General Thiebault says that at one
time when Napoleon was carrying out
an operation which could only be ac-
complished with absolute secrecy he
rode one day to the head of a column,
where he heard soldier say:
Faith, if were general in chief |
know what should do"
We'll" called Napoleon, what would
you do?'
The soldier unfolded his plan. 1t was
the very one which Napoleon himself
had evolved.
'Rascal!' cried the general. "Will
you hold your tongueY'
After the battle which had proved
the wisdom of the project he sought
about for the soldier whose mind had
mirrored his. The man was dead.

The nlue OF the sauphsrc

The blue of the sapphire is seldom
pure or spread over the whole sub
stance of the stone. Sometimes it is
mixed with black, which gives it an
inky appearance; sometimes with red,
which, although imperceptible by day
light, yet by artificial light gives it an
amethystine appearance. Two sap
phires which by daylight may appear
of the same hue often differ extremely
In color mt night. If the stone be held
in an ordinary pair of forceps an inch
beneath the surface of very clear WA
ter, the parts of the stone colored and
uncolored will be distinctly apparent.
This remark applies to all other gems.

A String to II.

Bridget and Norah Murphy, fresh
from Ellis island. had set out to make
their return calls" on their cousins,
the McGooligans, at service in an aris-
tocratic part of the city. Upon arriv-
ing at the house. instead of being con-
fronted by the usual bell knob. nothing
but stingy, mean apology of knob
in the shape of little black button
met them. Bridget got hold of the but
ton and gave it a pub, but her fingers
slipped before there was any audible
ring from within. Again and again she
tried with the same result until she
turned the job over to Monte" Then
the latter yanked and twisted without
success, until both stood OH the land
ing gazing helplessly at each other.
Then light came unto Bridget.
