Frank Stockton and Poetry.

Frank stockton never could write a
successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told n good sto-
ry on himself In his youth in con
junction with his brother John he
wrote many poems with which he af-
hieted the editors OF various Canadian
periodicals. The efrusions always
came back The editor of one maya
zine was an especial target of the
Stocktons. but as none of their poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the conclusion that the editor had
no conception OF good poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted up
and dispatched to him an ode. little
known. by Milton. Within two days
they received check and a letter OF
thanks. II came to the conclusion that
that editor knew poetry when he saw
1t after ALL" Mr., Stockton used to say,
"and gave up trying to write it."-PhiI'

ALLlsoN AT MASON CITY.
Tariff Changes Should Not Be Entrust
ed to Democrats.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. Oct. Ex-senator Allison
|inaugurated the republican campaign
here last night. HztWas greeted by a
vast audience apzhi speech was lis
tened to with gIuch interest. He dwelt
largely on thz tariff and trusts and took
occasion to endorse Roosevelt's efforts
to end the strike. Following are q few
excerpts from his speech:
Il might give many Illustrations of
how Insignificant part the tariff plays
as respects the great combinations Of
capital, and how puerile is the remedy
proposed for the destruction of the
trusts by placing trust made articles on
the free list"
II think it may be said truthfully that
more Of the trusts would be benefited
by the removal OF the tariff than would
be injured, and when injured to endure
injury more easily than their competi-
tors, who would be practically de-
stroyed."
..The great tobacco combine is. an IL
lustration of this. The removal of the
duties on imported tobacco and its pro-
ducts Would not only result in great loss
Of revenue to the government, but
wsuld be an actual boon to the tobacco
combination"
1.-THE cure for the trust evil is Of far
deeper significance and requires more
potential remedies. That they will be
found do not doubt"
THAT the evils are recognized by all
we know, but whatever we do let us not
saddle upon our people quack remedies
having their origin in the conceptions
of free trade
"This only remedy proposed by the
democrats is political, and it seeks by
indirection to attack the policy of pro-
lection, which has withstood all direct
assaults upon it for more than forty
years"
THE policy Of protection is a benefi-
cent one, and whatever changes expert
ence has shown to be NEEDED will be
made by the republican party. These
changes can not be hoped for except
thru the republican party"
Revision proposed by our opponents
is one that can only lead to the de-
struction of our immense industrial in
terests, interviewer as they are with all
other business and occupations, and
with the destruction of these disaster
and distress will inevitably follow"

IOWA FARMER ROBBED.
ST. Paul Police; However, Compel Gull
brit to Disooroe.


prit to Disgorge.
St. Paul, Oct. 10-Above the din
caused by the arrival of thousands OF
landseekers at the union depot yester-
day were the cries of young Albert Ben
nett, a prospective Minnesota farmer
from Richland, Iowa, that he had been
robbed of his watch and money. He
complained TO the depot officials and he
was turned over to Patrolman James
Williams. Bennett explained that while
he was in a jewelry store in East Third
street, where he had been directed by q
hotel runner, the works of his watch
had been removed and replaced with
inferior mechanism, and that So of his
money had been snatched from his
hand.
Bennett directed the policeman to a
jewelry and clothing store on Third
street. The jeweler Is said to have in
sisted that trade had been made, but
Bennett contended that he had been led
into the place to get a railroad time
table. He said that the man III charge
of the store voluntarily began to re-
move the work of his watch and took
IS from his hand, claiming he had im-
proved the watch.
Policeman Williams ordered the jew
eler to replace the works in the young
farmers watch ard to return the money
that he took from him. Mr.. Bennett
was given back his money and his
watch and was escorted back to the de-
pot by the policeman.
Mr.. Bennett stated he came from his
home at the suggestion of his father, to
seek home in Minnesota. The railv
roads had given special rates, and he
took advantage OF them. He says that
while he was standing outside the de-
pot hotel runner induced him to go to
the jewelry store.
Il did not ask for watch" he said,
"or to have any work done on my own.
but the man removed the works and
said that unless i paid for the change
that would have to go to the polc>
station"

Peculiar Error in Message Announcing
Capture of Elopers.

Special to Times-R Republican.
Titonka, Oct 10.-An unfortunate
mistake was made in the transmission
of a telegram announcing the capture
of one William Hall. of Titonka, at
Corwith in company with another man

William Have. William Have Travelled
thru the country selling groceries TO
the farmers, making his headquarters
here. While his wife was away on a
visit he succeeded in persuading the
wife of respectable citizen of Ban
croft to accompany him. The wronged
parties got wind Of the-@scapade and
the guilty couple were caught at Ban
croft William Hall, of Titonka is a
hardware merchant of this place, one
of our prominent citizens and had no
connection whatever with the affair
mentioned in the dispatch from Cor
with. It might be stated in this con-
nection. too, that the wife Of Have is
