POTTER CASE AGAIN.
Union Men Demand Discharge of New
York. Mi,itiarnan.

Schenectady, N. Y, Feb. 24.-The
Building Trades council, representing
all men employed in any of the build
ing trades, has made a demand upon
shafer & Barry, the employers of Will
liam Potter, the expelled militiaman,
for his discharge. The demand has
been refused and the Building Trades
council has decided that when the
spring season opens all union carpen-
ters, painters, masons, lathers, plaster
ers, etc, will refuse to work on any
building on which Potter has been en-
ployed. The result probably will be to
tie up operations. Over 5000 men are
involved, whose average wages are
$3.50 a day.

Refusal of Democrats TO Accept Conn
promise-Chargs Opponents with Bad
Statehood Controversy as a
Buffer.

Washington, Feb. Alt was agreed
this afternoon to withdraw the omnibus
statehood bill as an amendment to the
postoffice and agricultural appropria-
tion bills. The omnibus bill win be kept
before the senate, but not Interfere with
appropriation bills.
Washington, Feb A.-The democratic
senators were in caucus one hour this
morning over the statehood situation
as 1t confronts them. Speeches were
Bacon, Teller, Dubois, Simmons, Fos-
ter, of Louisiana. Bate, Morgan, Pettus
and others.
All the speakers took positive grounds
against the compromise proposition and
several of them spoke emphatically
against the proposition to put the
statehood bill on any of the appropria-
ton bills as q rider. At the same time
they favored placing the future of the
course of the party, with reference to
the statehood bill as SUCH and also as
to a rider, in the hands of the demo-
Gratis of the committee on postoffices.
"a democratic senator who is a member
of the committee on territories, on be-
ing asked for a statement of the rea-
sons for rejecting the compromise prop
osition, wrote the following, which, af-
ter submitting to several of his col
leagues, he gave out for publication:
THE democratic caucus rejected the
proposed compromise statehood bill for
the following reasons: When Arizona
and New Mexico were mads territories
their areas were established for ulti-
mate statehood purposes and all the
interests and expectations of the people
of the two territories have been in an
ticipation of the two states.
1T would be gross injustice to the
people of both to join them in one state.

Let the children go barefooted. 1t
is crime against the race to punish
children with shoes in warm weather.
Nine tenths of the nervous diseases
now so prevalent. come from being
insulated from the life-giving magne-
tic currents that circulate through the
earth as they do through animal bodies
TIE race grew to its zenith of physical
animal development while shoes were
not known because the race developed
in tropical climates, and if nervous
people would take an every day walk
barefooted on the bare, damp ground,
more than one-half OF the nervous
diseases would be cured without other
treatment. Man and the lower animals
never have rheumatism till they are
insulated from the earth by sole
leather or rubber shoes. or wooden, or
the floors. People with rheumatism
are afraid to touch the earth while
that is the very act that will cure
them. Watercure people prescribe q
wet blanket; a better remedy is to lie
down naked in ditch or furrow in
good rich soil and lie there from five
minutes to an hour Turn the child
rem out barefooted and the race will
grow stronger, less nervous. .-Burling-

Modern WOodmen ReadjuStment.

Owing to a rush of other matters
we have thus far failed to make note
of the leadjustment of rates adopted
by the Head Camp. NJ. W. A.. at In
cianapolis, a couple of weeks ago.
The question of readjustment has been
before the order for several years. the
more conservative element feeling the
necessity of larger rates for the per-
manency of the order. At the last
Head Camp committee was appointed
to formulate new plan of adjustment,
and they reported upon the "step rate
plan," involving a gradual increase
in rates corresponding with the ad,
yarcing age of the member. The in,
crease was so marked and startling and
such burden upon the old member
that the membership repudiated it.
The delegates from Iowa in caucus
united upon compromise plan known
as the Iowa Idea'' and presented il
to the Head Camp, which finally
adopted it after much debate. The
table of rates as adopted is as follows
and will go into effect Jan. |, 1904:

Court House Corner Stone.

AS will be seen by the official pro-
ceedings in another column, the
Board of Supervisors met Monday and
made provision for the corner stone of
the new court house. On the stone
will be inscribed the names of the
Board members. the contractor and
architect-the builders of the edifice.
1t is fitting that the Supervisors names
should be thus given permanent
place on the building for they are put
ting their ,vholc energy into the work
and deserve To be remembered so long
as the building shall stand Ii is very
probable that public corner stone lay
ing will be arranged for later when the
exact time the building is ready for il
can be known. 1t should be made a
big day for Decorah and the whole

Some Things About Iowa.

Visitors to the state convention last
week were agreeably surprised to meet
VIM. E. Curtis, the famous correspon
dent of the Chicago Record Herald, a
man who is known the world over foI
his interesting letters, in fact even
more widely known than the news
papers for which he has corresponded.
He writes a letter to Saturday s
Record Herald on which he admins
ters a needed roast to Des Moines, the
capitol city of Iowa, for the lack of
enterprise and taste exhibited every
where about the city. With excep-
tional natural advantages "Des Moines
is not a credit to so rich and so pro-
gressive a state as Iowa. After men
tiouing the slovenly condition of its
river and it's banks and bridges, its
still uncompleted public library and
court house, ETC., he speaks thus of
Iowa as a state:
"Iowa stands first among all the
forty-fi five states of the Union in several
particulars. Her farm animals are
worth $277, ,41Q, 4S4. which is $65, 600, 600
more than those of any other state,
New York ranking second.
Iowa has 1,044, $40 horses, valued at
500 each, or a total of $50, 760, ,O61.
There are more horses in Texas, but
their valuation is not nearly as high.
Iowa is the first of all the states in
~, loC nrtk
1865, 900, ,000-$l 200, 600 for every day
in the year.
Iowa has twice as many hogs as any
other state in the Union, numbering
1885, ,655, with an average value of
$8, 81 per head, or total value of
$66, 724, 1876.
Iowa stands first of all the states in
poultry, having more than 10000, COO
chickens, producing more than
| 200, 600, 600 eggs year, valued at
nearly $l2, 900, 900.
In butter Iowa stands second only to
New York, having 1,390,9l2 milch
COWS, with an average value of $50
per head, or total of SAL. 769, 0S7.
Iowa ranks firt in farming imple
ments and machinery, being $l3, 600, 600
ahead of Illinois. New York ranking
second aud Pennsylvania third. Dur
ing the last ten years Iowa has in
creased the value of her farming
machinery $50, 600, 600. s., 200, 600 more
than was paid for the entire Louisiana
territory.
In the manufacturing Industries
Iowa has advanced rapidly during the
last ten years. and now has 14,819
factories, valued at $102, 733, l03, with
an output last year worth $l64, ,617, ,877.
With her inexhaustable coal fields,
furnishine the cheapest fuel, and 3 600
miles of railway reaching the best
markets on earth, there is no limit to
the possibilities of the state in me-
chanical enterprise.
Boasting all this wealth it would
seem that the people would take q
little interest and show little pride
and spend little money in the i'm
provement Of their capital city. Des
MOines should send a committee to
look at Davenport, Dubuque, Burling
ton, Keokuk, Waterloo and the other
cities of the state and report how
much behind the times she is.'

The contest for the position of fed
eral Judge to succeed Judge Shiras,

The present indications are that each
judicial district in the state will pre-
sent candidate. Many think tha;
the selection will finally be determin'
ed between Craig Wright, Sioux City,
Thos. ID. Healy, of Fort Dodge, and
II. Z. Reed, of Cresco. We believe
none of them more capable or better
fitted to perform the duties of the
position than the latter, and it is the
hope of his many friends in this part
of the state that he will be the for
tunate selection.
