GOV. cUMMINs OR THE PAR1Yq

Burlington Hawk-Eye: 1t may be
doubted whether in all of Senator AL
lison's distinguished public life he
was ever called to any duty which he
undertook with so great sacrifice of
his inclination, with a higher pur-
pose, or with a more single-minded
patriotism, than when in 1903 he un-
dertook, in the interests of tho party,
to devise platform that should be,
first of all, sound declaration of re-
publican principles, but that at the
same time should neither expressly
repudiate the platforms of 1901 and
1902, and should, so far as was con-
sistent with general principles, avoid
direct challenge of interpretations
which had beer put upon previous
platforms by SOME republicans. There
was at that time danger that in the
prevailing Irritation no platform
could he devised in advance that
would command general acQuias.

Iowa leads the states in the pro-
duction of eggs, the yearly product
being 100,000,000 dozen. Ohio comes
next with 91,O00,00O dozen; Illinois
is third with S6,0OO,OOO dozen, and
Missouri fourth with S5,000,000 dozen.
Iowa finds the market for the surplus
supply in the eastern states, where
they bring good prices. "Yet," OBJ

would open the markets of Canada
and put the Canadian hen in competi-

-Consumtion of horse flesh in Ger.

-Consumtion of horse flesh in Ger
many is on the increase. In 1901,
10000 horses were slaughtered for
food in Berlin, and 10000 were con-
sumed in Prussia during the same
year. Horse meat is used because
there are not enough cattle to fill the
demand. Horses are slaughtered on
ly after they have spent lifetime in
the harness, and no one will deny the
fact that the food obtained from this
source is of very poor quality. 1t is
horse meat or nothing, however. with
the majority Of inhabitants, because
the government chooses to keep out
good American meat TO suit the agra.
rians, who own most of the land on
which cattle are raised.

 Bartholdi said that he is always cherishing as his favorite idea the turning of Bedloe's island into sort of national American Pantheon, girted with the statues of those who have contributed to their country's fame. with Washington, Lafayette and other famous generals perhaps as central group.
 He would also have the bodies of all the presidents removed to Bedloe's is- land and would have a comprehensive museum of national relics established. He believes that such a spot would prove a.

It was at first thought that MT Dwyer might be spending day or two with some friends or relatives. But this supposition was entirely wrong. Then it was thought possi- ble that he might be stopping with relatives in Torrington, but a tele- phone message brought back the reply that he was not there. All efforts to locate him have been unsuccessful. Not a word has been received in re- gard CO T1lSF W1lC, WuO IS UIo- tracted by his absence from home believes that foul play has been com mitted.
