mic This Yeal-Personal and Social.

Special to The Journal.
Anoka, Mimi, July 23.-Anoka is
having a boom this summer in the
way Of new enterprises and new build
ings. Vacant houses are a thing OF
the past; and more people own their
own homes than ever before. Since
the operating Of the Cement Paving
company's plant new pavements are
being laid everywhere. Drs. A. 6. ana
Flora l.. Aldrich are erecting an ele-
giant residence on the corner of Third
avenue and Monroe street; the new
high school building will soon be un-
der way; the new Carnegie library
substructure is completed and work
on the superstructure is being rapidly
done; the old parsonage of st
church has been sold and
will be moved away to make room fol-
the new parsonage.
At present the new swimming place
attracts the crowd. It is largely pa
tronized by the boys. Friday after
noon from to will be devoted tc
women and girls. No fee is charged
enough having been collected from
citizens to pay all expenses.

LEAVES ON A TABLE

WEBSTER CITY, IOWA.--A CEN

Fred Widman. About four weeks ago
Mrs. Widman bought the table at a
furniture store. It was painted black
and vanished. Imagine the surprise
of Mrs. Widman when one morning
she noticed on one of the legs little
bud. Gradually the, bud sWelled and
finally burst and number OF little
green leaves came forth. About half
a dozen Of them are becoming larger
and larger while a bud is noticed on
one of the other legs. The leaves look
like those of the willow. The STICK
was probably dressed down and in

thoroly seasoned and enough moist
ure was retained to cause the deyel-

WADE AND@WEAVER
Iowa Democrats Hope to Land Them
in Congress.

DIES MONIES, IOWA. The demo-
Gratis Of Iowa are laying their wires
for the capture of two congressional
districts in the state this fall. They
hope to re-elect Martin j. Wade in
the second district and are figuring
on James B. Weaver having a good
fghting chance against Congressman
John F. Lacey in the sixth district.
Wade and Weaver take the ground
that the candidacy of one will assist
the other, not only because it will
stimulate interest among democrats
in general and encourage them to
work as we'll as vote, but also because
they represent opposite wings of the
democratic party and each will de-.
liver the strength Of his particular
faction in the Others district. Some
interest attaches to the announce
ment that Mayor Stebbins, repub-
lican, of Iowa City, may be a candi-
date for congress against A. F. Daw-
son in the second district. If Steb-
| bins candidacy materializes, it will
add much interest tosthe situation, as
lit is claimed by his friends that it
would make the greatest inroads on
the strength Of Judge Wade, espe-
cially in johnson county, in which
both Stebbins and Wade reside.

PRINCE is POPULAR
WITH JEWS AND ALL
New Russian Minister of the Interior
Attends dwelling of Monument

WILMA, Russia, Sept. 23.-The un-
yelling of the monument to Catherine
the Great today on the square facing
the governors palace was particularly
interesting, because it was the occa-
sion of the last public appearance here
of Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky, the
former governor general of Wilma and
present minister of the interior, who
leaves Wilma for ST. Petersburg tomor-
row. He was received everywhere
during the day with the utmost en-
thusiasm by Jews and Christians alike
In fact the prince is extremely popu-
lar with the Jews, who compose nearly
half the population of Wilma In con-
versation today the prince was quoted
as saving that he firmly intended, as
minister of the interior, to act in the
spirit of the emperor's manifesto of
1903, and in effect said he was a reso-
lutte opponent of forcible repression
and intended to devote special atten-
ton to education. 1t is confidently ex-
pected here that important concessions
to the Jews will be announced shortly.
The whole town is festooned with
bunting. and great crowd attended
the unwilling ceremony, which was sig
nif1cant owing to the presence of vary
Ing elements. The ecclesiastical dig
nitaries on the platform included or
thodox priests, Lutherans, Jews and
Roman Catholics. When the monu-
ment was unveiled the Grand Duke
Michael, brother of the emperor, gave
The signal for Salute. Of $50 guns.
The grand duke subsequently reviewed

UNITED STATES MUST
FEED CENTRAL EUROPE
Drought There Has Made Serious Inroads
Upon Cereals and Fruits

WASHINGTON, DC, Sept 23.-Ac-
cording to Consul General Mason at Ber-
lin, the United States will have to help
feed Central Europe during the coming
autumn and winter on account of the
drought in Austria, Russia, Germany,
Switzerland and France. The consul gen
eral states that since Aug. Is careful
inquiry as to the grain crops and the gen
eral agricultural situation has been made
by the central station for Prussian agri-
culture, whose report shows there was a
falling off from the yield of last year in
spring wheat, winter rye, spring rye, bar
ley and oats Winter wheat furnished the
only exception among these six leading
cereals. Mr.. Mason says that the effect of
the drought on pasture lands and crops
of all kinds, both for forage and human
food, is still more serious.
"All this has reacted disastrously on the
dairying industry" says the consul gen
eral land milk, cheese and butter are
reduced in quantity and advanced in price.
The standard fruits-apples, pears. plumS
and peaches-which in early summer
promised a full average yield, have to a
serious extent been ripened prematurely by
the prolonged, intense. dry heat and have
shriveled and fallen off in such quantities
that the autumn fruit crop is gravely
compromised
The consul general predicts an increased
demand not only for corn, wheat and rye
from the United States, but for fresh and
preserved fruits, dried and sailed fish
and such meats as the inspection law Of
Germany permits to be imported.

TELLS OF The CANAL
Chief Engineer Also Speaks Of
Germ Carrying Mosquitoes

FLOSSMOOR, H., Sept. 23.-John F..
Wallace, chief engineer of the isthmian
canal commission, in direct charge of the
construction of the canal, is at home for
two weeks after busy summer in the
canal zone.
Mr.. Wallace says that there are about
$500 men in the field in Panama. There
are now at work six divisions of engi-
neer corps. each in charge of resident
engineer who reports to Mr. Wallace as
chief engineer. The engineering and cler-
ical departments are almost entirely
Americanized, and nearly every arriving
steamer brings fresh additions from the
United States. The ma jority of the COM
mon laborers, as well as a few of the
skilled laborers, are English speaking ne
groes from Jamaica. The health condi-
lions in Panama are excellent.
The idea that yellow fever is still pre-
valent In the isthmus Mr. Wallace says
Is erroneous. 1t, as well as the malarial
fevers common to tropical countries, is
being eradicated by scientific measures
One kind of mosquito, which bites only
at night, carries the malarial fever infec-
ton, and another kind Of mosquito, which
bites only in the daytime, carries yellow
fever infection. 1t Is the female only
which bites, the blood that the creatures
suck in being not for the purpose of food,
but to fecundate it's eggs and so aid
propagation.
Mr.. Wallace says that of the work done
by the French company maybe Is per cent
can be used. The preliminary work of
thoroughly surveying the canal route with
a view of determining at what level the
canal Is to be cut and the exact line it is
to follow will consume the remainder of
1904 and all of 1905. BY the spring of
1906, he says, he expects to have the
campaign entirely mapped out and the
actual work of digging the canal in sys-
tematlc progress. Then it will take about
eight years to complete the work The
line of the canal will be for about twenty
five miles along the Chagres river, then
along one of the branches of the Chagres.
| passing through the cut among the hills
| known as Culebra cut. about ten miles
from Panama, and thence on by the Rio
Grande river to Panama bay.
Mr.. Wallace estimates that the compile
ton of the canal will cost $50 200. 900.
This sum, added to the $40, 900 paid
to the French company for the canal
property and the 100000 600 paid to the
Panama government for the grant of land.
Will make the total cost of the great wa
terway 200,000.0 900.

POPE Is ANTAGONIZED
BY FREETHINKERS
They Make Hostile Demonstration and
Pontiff Will Send Out a Letter

ROME, Sept. 23.-The congress of
Freethinkers today decided to meet
In Paris in 1905 and in 1906 at Buenos

After the adjournment of the con-
gress the delegates formed in process
sion and marched to the monument of
Giordano Bruno, the Dominican monk
who was burned by the inquisition in

testimony of their feeling of antag-
onism to the Vatican. Several violent
speeches were delivered, Belgian, ex-

A similar demonstration was made
