CHOATE REBUFFED.
In Attempt to Gain Freedom of Mrs.
MAVERICK.

London, Feb. 5.-Both Ambassador
Choate II Mrs. Florence Maybrick re-
Gently received rebuffs IN the attempts
to gain the latter's freedom.
Home Secretary Akers-Douglas re-
piled to the embassy's representations
and to the imprisoned woman's appeal
that he saw no grounds for her release.
The appeals were made especially in
connection with the necessity for Mrs.
Maybrick's presence in the United
States to testify in the Virginia land
suits in which she and her mother,
Baroness de Roques. are interested. The
baroness has exhausted all her means
in her e~ndeavors to gain her daughters
freedom and is now almost penniless.
If the remission of sentence, which is
generally applied in the case of life
sentences, is granted in Mrs. Maybrick's
case, she should be released in March.
Whether this will be done seems doubt
full, Notwithstanding the alleged exist
ence of a letter from Lord Salisbury to
the late Ambassador Bayard, promis-
ing hat the prisoners life sentence
would be RENTED.

AN IDEAL NEWSPAPER.
Dr.. Parl<hurst Is Interesting Million
aires to Endow One in New York.

Dr.. Parkhurst Is Interesting Million.
aires to Endow One in New York.
New York, Feb. 5.-Dr. Charles H. Park
hurst declares he is meeting support OF
miliionaires in his project Of providing an
ideal daily newspaper for New York.
II have no idea of publishing a religious
daily" said DR.. Parkhurst. Il believe
the news provides suggestions for the
practical use of religion. The people
want news-clean, wholesome news, that
will educates, not degrade.
My idea is to print facts, and to print
them for just what they are worth, If
printable. The sensationalism in some
newspapers is disgusting and degrading.
mo suppression of news Is part OF my
plan, nor would I provide a stupid paper;
the purpose would not be profits.
Had I millions l would endow such g
newspaper. 1t would not pay at the start,
but the public, revolving from the sensa-
tional paper, would turn to it and be
benefited.
Too much space is given in papers to
petty Things, often treated in a manner
positively revolving, simply because OF a
craving for the unwholesome, which is
catered to and increased by feeding"

ROCK ISLAND AGAIN.
Now 1t Is Said to Be Negotiating an
Alliance With Union Pacific.

New oYrk, Feb. 6.-An important de-
velopment is pending between the Rock
Island and another important railroad.
This road, is was stated, is not the Erie
or the Atchison, both of which have
been mentioned as likely to be in q deal
with the Rock Island. While 1t could
not be learned positively that Union
Pacific interests, which are also in IN
troll Of the Southern Pacific, are those
with which the Rock Island negotiations
have been conducted, the suggestion
was not denied. Directors of the Rock
Island and Union Pacific declined to
discuss the matter. One director of h
Union Pacific when asked whether such
a deal was pending, replied: You will
have to see the Rock Island company
or the chairman of the Union Pacific,
e. TT. Hartman. I can say nothing"
w. Fl. Moore, chairman Of the finance
committee of the Rock Island, and Ell.
Hartman declined to talk. An agree
ment involving the Rock Island, Union
and Southern Pacific would represent
nearly 25,000 miles.

OPPOSE EXHIBIT.
Austrians Believe It Improbable, or
the Whole, to Send an Exhibit TO
tho st. Louis Exposition.

Vienna, Feb. 6.-The Austrian indus
trial association has made a decidedly
~unpromising report to the government
on the advisability Of participating in
the St. Louis exposition, saying that
exhibiting in the United States always
costs much and yields little, as under
the present tariff conditions Austria
cannot hope to obtain any considerable
market there. Under no circumstances,
it is stated. should a trifing subven-
ton be given for the benefit only of a
small group of exhibitors, as this would
give IN inadequate idea Of Austria's
productive caDaCitY.

Minister Before Next Election.
London, Feb. 5.-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain is in such splendid isola-
ton as the man Of supreme talent
among his laundering colleagues that
1t is difficult to resist the conclusion
that he will become prime minister be-
fore the next general election. His sim
cere friendship for Mr.. Balfour pre-
intrigue against the chief whom
he serves loyalty. Mr.. Ralfours health,
however, may be a convenient excuse
for voluntary retirement to the lords

berlain's prestige is the chief available
asset for carrying on the unionist BUSH
ness at the old stand.

Relief From EueruMhere.

Relief From Everywhere.
From southern Sweden and Norway,
Denmark, Russia and England, and
the United States relief is coming. 1t
is reported hat the relief movements,
especially in the United States, are get
tlng better organized and that more
may be expected in the near future.
People in the United States have been
interested in the work by their rela-
tives in this country, and through them
much is expected. The important
thing is to get early responses.
Not the least serious problem is that
Of next years crop. The fields which
must bear it are now marshes or lakes;
frozen solid, of course. A late spring
would keep the fields so water-soaked
that it would be impossible for many
people to raise any crops at all.
The question of seeds, too, is grave.
People are compelled too often to use
everything at hand for immediate
needs. There will be thousands of farm
ers without seed to SOW, even if their
fields are ready to receive it. Another
winter, owing to these conditions, may
lind conditions fully as bad as this.

The Way 70 Build a Read.
Business Men and Farmers &C.
cpetdte and repair rSad.

When there IS q general dis
position on the pa, of the citi-
zans of any community to grasp
hold of the tow line and pull
long and hard to accomplish a
certain object, something is sure
to result.
Since the recent high water,
the public roads leading from
Missouri Valley to the dral dis
tricts on the bottom, have been
almost impossible. AS = result
hundreds of farmers have been
unable to reach the Valley to do
their trading, and business has
been accordingly slack. Yes
t srday a committee of business
men and tanners got together
and it was decided to holda reg
ular old time road building and
mcndlng bee today. This morn
ing twenty five dill haulei.; en-
lployed by the business men Of
the city, went to work hauling
dill ! from the hills to the st.
John grade, cveiy hole and
washout being filled in. Ten
teams belonging to the farmers
have been at work on the St.
John end of the road, and by to
night it is thought the entire
stretch will be in fairly good
condition. Many a Missouri
Valley business man VIII awake
tomorrow morning with a stiff
ness in his JOINTS" bat he will
have the satisfaction of know
ing he has done good worl..
Headed by Mayor Amen, a COM
mittee of business men have
pat in almost the entire day ON
the grade unloading wagons,
levellng dir, and welding the
shovel. Another committee
worked at the dump where the
wagons were loaded, and so ex-
pert were they at their work,
a wagon load of dirt left the
dump every three minutes.
