IOWA AT WORLDS FAIR.

Iowa's dairy and creamery exhibit
at the st. Louis exposition will be
mainly in the form of a memorial to
the late John Stewart of Minneapolis,
the pioneer creameryman of the
world The chief features Of the ex-
hibit will be a facsimile of Mr.. Stew
arts first creamery, which was built
at Manchester, Iowa, in 1872, and
life-sized statue of Mr.. Stewart, made
entirely of butter, which will be kept
frozen in a glass case throughout the
exposition. Mr.. Stewards medals,
received for high scoring butter will
also be exhibited. At the outbreak
of the rebellion, John Stewart enlist
ed in the thirty-ninth Ohio infantry
and was mustered out after four
years of active service. He settled
in Manchester shortly after. At
that time over so per cent Of the milk
production of the country was vast
ed on account Of the inability of the
farmer to manufacture any consider
able amount of butter and cheese.
Public creameries were unknown at
that time and the farm COWS were
simply source of spending money
for the housewife. Mr.. Stewart con-
ceived the idea Of establishing milk
stations throughout the dairy dis
tricts and equipping them with ma
chinery sufficient to handle the en-
tire milk supply of the contributing
territory. These stations were to be
conducted by capable business men
who should find market for the pro-
duct Accordingly Mr.. Stewart built
the worlds first creamery and en-
ployed a man named Van Dusen as
the first professional buttermaker
Van Dusen is now over 80 years old
and will be at the st. Louis fair to
add interest to the Iowa exhibit. But
ter from this first creamery received
| first prize at the st. Louis fair in
1873 and 1874 and at the Centennial
exposition at Philadelphia in 1876. 1t
received first prize again at the In
ternational Dairy fair at New York
! in 1878 and second prize at the Roy
al Agricultural exhibit at London in
1879. Due to this advertisement
creameries were built throughout the
middle west'and the.sale of milk soon
became one of the most profitable
branches of farming. At one time
Mr.. Stewart owned six of the largest
creameries in Iowa, but when he
moved to Minneapolis in 1892 he
gave up his interest in butter manu-
facture and devoted his entire time
to travelling and organizing creamer-
les in the western coast states. From
then, until the time Of his death in
March, 1903, he lived in Southeast
Minneapolis. His wife and son, N.
p. Stewart Of the Fifield Law and
Collection Agency, still reside there,

The FAtt~oE MORGAN.

The name OF j. Pierpont Morgan is
no longer one to coIjure with in Wall
street, says the Register and Leader.
From a proud position where his en-
dorsement would make anything"go"
he has fallen so low that an addea
suspicion attaches to securities with
which his name is associated. A
shrinkage of over $400,000,000 in the
stocks Of the steel and shipping
trusts alone, both peculiarly Morgan
creations, has let the water not only
out of the inflated securities but also
out of the fame of the most conspicu-
Gus promoter since John Law. .
Mr.. Morgan has undoubtedly built
up a very substantial fortune for
himself. But he has allowed his
friends to hold the bag in most scan
dalous fashion. 1t is not believed
that this was his intention. The pub
lie has to foot the bills. 1t has mere
ly been an untimely refusal on the
part of the public to digest the Nor
gan securities that has left them on
the hands of the original holders.
And Mr.. Morgan from being the man
who could secure millions for merely
financiering any new enterprise, who
was the terror of England when the
shipping trust was under way, and
who was received by the crowned
heads of Europe with marked dis
tinction, has suddenly become an OBJ
ject of suspicion among his most in
innate associates. "Morganeering"
ceasing to mean world conquest, has
come to mean promoting worthless
stocks.
The conservative judgment of Wall
street was recently expressed by
Henry Clews in a signed interview:
"The present sensational decline in
values and the failures and wholesale
embarrassments it has occasioned
can only proceed from one thing
the enormous and deplorable $5,000,-
100000 is represented in the largely
fictitious capitalization Of industrial
combinations within the past five or
six years. Never in the history Of
trade and finance have such enor-
nous sums been represented as in
capitalizing concerns such as the
United States Steel company, the
Northern Securities company, the In
ternational Mercantile Marine COM
pany, Amalgamated Copper and hun
dreds of smaller corporations. The
day of overcapitalized corporations,
in the opinion of all conservative and
well-informed judges,is over once and
for all. am afraid the Morgan
school and financial schools of sim
liar type have closed for a long vaca-
ton"
Mr.. Clews' reference to "The Nor
gan school, tells the whole story. Mr..
Morgan takes his place with other
famous promoters in the long line
that have ridden upon waves of IN
dustrial prosperity and who have TAX.

waves subsidized. The great day OF
the over-capitalized and top-heavy
trust is over. There are several

STEEL, IRON AND THE TARIFF.

The recent report of the Geological
Survey on the iron trade is quite in
structive and shows the flow of i'm
ports and exports under the present
tariff law.
In 1899 we imported 674,0S2 long
tons of iron ore and 18S,349 long tons
of manganese ore.
In 1902 we imported 1,165,4 ,470 long
tons of iron ore and 235,576 long
tons of manganese.
In 1899 we imported 2,134 long tons
of iron and steel rails and in 1902 we
imported 63,522 tons.
In 1899 we imported of steel ingots,
billets and structural steel, 12,601
long tons.
+. In 1902 we imported ,31S long
tons of the same.
In 1899 we imported of iron and
steel goods total in value Of $15,-
S00,579 and in 1902 it increased to
$41, ,46S,S26.
These facts show that under the
present tariff heavy increases Of i'm
portations have been going on.
Outside Of iron ore and manganese
in 1899 we imported 1920 long
tons of iron and steel Of all kinds.
In 1902 we imported 1,212,S39 tons,
more than four times as much in
weight as in 1899. These figures are
good answer to the demand that
there is a crying need for tariff
amendment to induce imports. They
have been increasing uncomfortably
under present conditions.

ELEVATOR BURNED.
Telegraph Wires Melted and Train
Service Crippled.

Valeria, Aug. 4.-Fire yesterday
afternoon destroyed Bowen 6 Rag
ems large elevator and adjoining corn
crib, and twenty-one cars belonging
to the Chicago Great Western rail-
way, which were standing on a sid
ing. The fire was discovered about
1920, when only one of the box cars,
standing directly in front of the ele-
vator, was found to be ablaze. The
loss will be about $4,000, and the
insurance viii practically cover it.
The heat from the great confagra-
ton burned down all the telegraph
wires and cut off all communication
with other places. Train service
was delayed two hours.

While courts may be slow and too Of

mob violence does not correct the

not see that laws are more rigidly en-

punish criminals, that the stain OF
mob violence may be washed from

In clearing away the wreckage the
body of another man, supposed to be

killed, is still in the hospital here.
He will recover.

POOR PROSPECTS.
The Fruit Crop in Iowa Not Very
Promising. -..

Fruit conditions in Iowa for this
year grow more discouraging, accord
ing to reports coming in from diff
erent counties to Secretary Wesley
Greene of the state horticultural so
ciety. Mr.. Greene has had reports
from about fifty counties, showing
the state of the fruit at the close OF
July. The reports show that apples
will be less than half a crop, while
grapes alone promise to develop in
to something like the average. The
following are the figures Mr.. Greene
has obtained from the reports, show
ing the percentages of average crops
that may be expected:
Apples-Summer, 46; fall, 40; win
ter, 49,.
Plums-American, IT; Japanese, s.;
European, 10.
Pears-S.
Peaches-19.
Grapes-68.
Mr.. Greene says it is improbable
the reports of the remaining count
les will change the percentage great
ly. He says apples will be about the
same as in 1889 and less than half a
crop. The plums and pears are near
ly a failure. Mr.. Greene says apples
will be scarce all through tho west,
and prices are likely to be high. He
says the eastern states will have to
supply the market this season.
