stockmen Will Save Corn.

Special to Times Republican,.
Sioux City, Sept. 1s.-The early frost
of last week, killing all green corn in
northwestern Iowa and South Dakota,
will have the rather unexpected result
Of bringing thousands of feeders into
this country.
| Already stockmen have gone out to
look for young cattle that may be
brought in at once, to utilize the soft
corn. Railroads have been approached
to find IL the cars would be forthcom-
ing. The Sioux City stock market will
be the beneficiary of this stimulated
movement.
j. @. Adams. OF Flandreau, S. D., says
the demand for feeders will be quite
unprecedented. Much Of the corn will
be fit only for feeding. If used m the
near future, almost the full value Of the
corn will be obtained.
"The South Dakota corn crop was
damaged by the frostnom more than that
Of northwestern Iowa" said c. A.

HIS ARM CUT OFF.
David Splitter Meets With PaInfu
Accident

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Sept. 1s.-David Spit
Ter lost his left forearm yesterday at
ternoon at the Litchfield foundry While
working about the planning machine.
Mr.. Splitter but recently came to
Webster city. He formerly resided
near Marshalltown with his mother,
who expected shortly to move to this
city. He is young man about %
years Of age.
He was a new man at a planning ma
chine This machine is used to plane
boards used in making the Grain
King endgate. Mr.. Splitter had on
gloves to protect his hands. While at
work his left glove caught in the ma
chine. The revolving planer drew the
hand and forearm into the machine
nearly to the elbow before it could be
stopped. The arm was not severed but
nearly so.

THE FROST AND THE CORN.
TSfoux City Journal.1

I Il
What has the frost done to the corn?
different localities. The burden of
these is that the crop has been dam
aged, but that the bulk of the crop was
out of danger before the killing frosts
came.
Two weeks of warm weather without
a killing frost would have saved prac-
tically the entire crop of the corn belt.
This would have insured a record
breaking corn yield. AS it is, Develop
ment has been halted considerably
short of perfection in some localities.
The late planted corn and the acreage
in the low lands has suffered, and the
promise of a bumper yield of first quail
ity corn has been discounted.
On the whole, the corn situation IS
anything but pessimistic. In spite of
the late spring and wet summer the
bulk Of a great crop has been saved
The situation is vastly better than at
this time a year ago, the conditions
during the summer having been re-
versed. The government crop report
on September 10 showed that the ,av-
erage condition of the corn was 84.3, as
compared with 51.7 on September 10.
1901; SOC on the corresponding date in
1890. and a 10-year average of 1873.
AS the first serious frost came last
year only a few days later than this
year the balance must be largely In
favor of the present crop. It is not
making a wild guess to predict that,
however, unfavorab1e further weather
conditions may be this years crop is
sure to beat the average.

Republican Plea for Tariff Revision.
rchicasro Record Herald.1

There are mossback republicans as
we'll as mossback democrats, and Con-
gressmen Hopkins and Mann showed
that they belonged to that category
when they delivered their speeches OF
Saturday night. In contrast to those
purely conventional partisan harangues
is the address which was made at Ja-
maica Plain by Eugene N. Foss, repub-
lican candidate for congress from the
Eleventh Massachusetts district, and 1t
is vastly more interesting and signih-
cant.
Mr.. Foss is not afraid that what
Speaker Henderson in his sensational
mood calls the purity of the Mother of
Prosperity will be tainted and destroy
ed by a Encouragement of tariff sched-
ules. While he is republican not only
by profession but by the faith that is
revealed in much of his reasoning, he
realizes that the idea Of the inviolabil-
ity OF the Dingley bill or any other tar
if law is absurd, and he is practical
enough not only to recognize current
facts but to understand their true bear
ing upon government policies.
His general plea is that New Eng
land needs free raw material. That may
be sectional plea, but there Is no
doubt that he makes 1t strong of its
kind, and just now there will be pref
ty widespread sympathy for the New
England demand for untaxed coal from
Nova Scotia. Tho there is no tariff on
anthracite and this fuel is bituminous.
1t is of quality to relieve the market
when the Importation of anthracite Is
out of the question. A tariff on 1t is
unquestionably a tax on New England's
industries and direct encouragement
to American coal trusts, which do not
need protection.
And Mr.. Foss urges with good reason
that the question of necessity is the
prime question to be considered when
section is pitted against section in the
game of protection. Does any one
mean to say he asks, that the steel
trust needs the same degree of protec-
ton as when the iron and steel bust
ness of the country was an infant in
dustry?" Manifestly the purpose now.
when this concern Is undertaking for
eign competitors everywhere, is not to
protect but to mulct the people.
Such glazing facts can not be ig-
nored. and the wise republicans are
those who, like Mr.. Foss and Governor
Cummins, keep their heads above the
sand and the rest of their anatomy in
q proper relation thereto.

Land
MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH
Railway Company Said to Have
Bought the Coal Lands in Order to Be
Independent Of Gigantic Coal Trust
Which Will Probably Be Organized
Soon.

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 1s.-A. G..
Simpson, mining expert Of Chicago
and New York, and who has a reputa-
ton that extends over England and the
whole of the United States, has sue
oessfully terminated the outright pur-
chase of coal and mineral rights lying
beneath $1,000 contiguous acres of land
in territory lying south of Springfield
between the Chicago & Alton and the
Illinois Central tracks. The gigantic
transaction has been accomplished in
four months, and Mr.. Simpson is now
IN readiness to return to New York.
The coal and other mineral rights OF the
IL, 900 acres of land will be paid for in
cash just as rapidly as the transact tons
can be made, at cost of nearly S1,00O,-
COO.
Financially the big deal has been
promoted by the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad Company. Looking
into the future, the president and other
officials of the railroad corporation be-
|lieve the time is close at hand when the
whole coal output of the country will
be controlled by gigantic trusts The
Burlington system, it is contended.

corporation for 1t, and four months ago
plans were matured for the purchase of

ficient for many years. to come % fur
Eish more than enough coal for the con-
duct OF the roads business.
It was not thought advisable to buy
up old mines. Mr.. Simpson, the min
ing expert, to whom the matter was re-
ferred, suggested that an entirely new
field, one that has never been worked,
be procured, and the work Of purchas-
ing the coal and mineral rights on such
o field was intrusted to Mr.. Simpson.
Great difficulties have been encoun-
tered in the work of securing options on
the $1,000 acres. The contracts for OPP
tons that expire on Oct. ! have been in
Mr.. Simpsons hands for the past few
days, and yesterday Chief Attorney

Feeding His Stock on sawdust.
[Baltimore American.l


Herman Schmidt, Caroline county
(Maryland) farmer. read in German
technical paper that wood properly
prepared would make good animal food.
As there are number of sawmils in
his neighborhood he Is putting the
plan into practical operation. The
theory is that animals have decided
liking for young shoots, roots of shrubs,
tree bark and other heavy food Of the
same nature, and experiments have
proved that the n,rtriment contained
in such growth remains in it even after
1t has become wood, and that with a
little salt and water added to it the
sawdust will prove to be a highly
nourishing diet. Pine, birch, alder,
beech, walnut and other woods have
been analysed chemically, and the
wood has vastly more albumen, nitro
gen and fatty substances than straw.
To the salt and water Mr.. Schmidt is
adding potato Feelings, corn husks,
canning house refuse or any other slop
he can obtain.

This little old earth of ours Is red
hot in many a spot. In Martinique
and Vincent, in Mexico, in Central
and South America, craters have been
bursting destructively, while yesuvius,
Stromboli and Etna are laundering
and volleying, mighty Kilauea is noisy
with explosions. and on the other side
of the globe pent UP fires have shatter-
ed their barriers. The furnaces of this
planet seem to be at fever heat And
lust at this time revolutionists in sew
eral warm blooded countries are also
in state OF eruption. Unless the
present superheated conditions abate
many a safety valve will be blown SO
far away that 1t will vanish from
