pension agent of the Des Moines agen-
|cy, a few days ago, "is four miles south
east of the public square. Three of the
four miles is a government boulevard,
eighty feet in width and paved for
twenty four feet in the center-the only
decent road in Greene county. This
road or boulevard was built in 1885 and
is now undergoing thorough repairs,
that is, being rebuilt. 1t will require
about $4,000 of United States funds
to do the work. The repairs are being
made at my request, both the boule-
ward and the cemetery being in my
care.
This place or position l am largely
indebted to Comrade Hull. He wrote

after, was appointed. The place is
worth about $1,000 cash, house, fuel

Laws to be Changed.

St. Petersburg, March 12.-The Car
has issued a decree providing for the
freedom of religion thruout his do
minions, and establishing to some de-
gree local self government and making
other concessions to village committees.

ferring to the efforts of his predecessors
particularly his father, to add to the
welfare of the Russian people, the Car
announces his decision to grant free
dom Of religion to all his subjects who
improve the conditions of village life
and those of the local nobility and
peasantry. Among the measures OUT
lined by the Car for attainment of
these ends Is the reform of the rural
laws which is to be effected with the
advice of persons who possess the con-
fidence of the people. The system of
administration in various governments
and districts is to be examined by rep

cerned with view to effecting the nee

commemoration of the anniversary of
the birthday of Alexander III is con-
sidered to be the most significant act
OF state since the, emancipation series.

Baron Sternberg explained that if the
matter was as given in the statement
he desired to inform his government.
Mr.. Loomis explained that there had
been no such proposition made to this
government.
What the Argentine government did
propose. as has already been announced,
was discussion of the advisability of
an affirmation by the United States and
all the American republics of what is
known as the Calve doctrine. which is.
in effect, that foreigners residing in
American countries are not entitled to
the support of their governments in OBJ
tanning redress for damages sustained
by them thru the fortunes of war, and
in general must expect TO receive the
same treatment as citizens of the coun-
tries in which they reside.
The president, thru Secretary Hay,
discouraged the suggestion of discus

the United States had already been

casion for a renewal of the agitation on
the subject. The government of the
Argentine Republic, as announced from

Special to Times Republican.
Fairfield, March 12.-The people Of
this city are at present witnessing
a newspaper war between the Ledger
and the Tribune, or rather a fight
wherein the postmaster is sustained
by the authorities at Washington and
the Tribune over a certain list of sub
scribers of the latter who are termed
by the department as not being bona
fide subscribers. This fight grew out
of trying to secure the county print
ing last January and the Ledger MAX
ing an attack upon the Tribune's list,
there being about sixty names where
the Louden Machinery Co. and the j.
Turney & Co. Wagon works had sub
scribed for the paper for their en-
ployes and these are not held as being
bona fide subscribers. Today the de-
partment upheld the postmaster, G. M.
Junkin, and a circular was at once
placed in circulation to explain his
position in the matter. The sub
stance of it says that to be a bona fde
subscriber the paper must be paid
for with your own money"
