Spec1al to I1meS-Republtcan.
Sioux City, Nov. S.-The members Of
the office force of the Hanford Produce
company, thirteen in number, have
taken oaths and signed an agreement
binding them to let their hair grow
on their face from November 3 to Mo-
vember 24-Thanksgiving day. This
unusual compact came about as the
result Of remark dropped by j. M.
Skunk, member of the force, who said
he would raise a moustache with any,
one else in the office. L. c. James CALL
ed him and now thirteen men are sit
ting in at the game They are to raise
either moustache or a beard. The
affair is said to have caused more or
less CONSERVATION in the homes of the
married ones. and one wife has already
gone home to her mother, and declares
she will not be back until the horrid
fuzz has been removed. Any violation
of the contract will mean to supply
dinners at not to exceed Is cents each
for the rest of the men in the COM
pact.

this territory.
The secretary is being kept busy an
swering communications and inquiries
In regard to the show, which Is being
extensively advertised by all of the
leading poultry papers of the country.
A special effort will be made to Of
fer sufficient special premiums in cash
and otherwise. to induce breeders from
afar to send their birds here.
There psAmises to be great number
of entries and sharp competition In the
barred rock class, as there is consid-
cradle strife among the several breed

greater than the supply and number
less corn fields are ready to pick. The
fields that are down and hardest to
pick are the ones that are being har-
vested first.
The crop Is good in northern Iowa
this fall and much better than 1t has
been for two years. There will be
some soft corn, but by far the larger
share Of the corn will be of the kind
that will keep. Farmers are spreading
their soft corn pretty thoroughly over
the bottoms of the cribs in order for
it to dry in good shape.

Depositors In Defunct Grinnell
Bank, Demand Appointment
of John G. Manly
INTERESTS ARE JEoPARDlzED
Such i. the Claim of Those Signing
the Petition Which Will be Presented
to Secretary Shaw on His Expected
Arrival in GrinneII Wednesday-The
Situation.

Special to Times-Republican.
Grinnell. Nov. 8.-Matters in regard
to the failure Of the First National
bank are still interesting. A petit
ton. addressed to Comptroller Ridgeley
signed by numerous depositors and
some business men. asking for the re-
moval OF the present receiver and the
appointment of John c. Manly Of this
city, will be presented to Secretary
Shaw on his promised arrival on We'd
nesday next. Failing in this, it is the
intention of these dissatisfied deposit
tors to secure the services Of some able
lawyer to protect their interests, which
they claim are jeopardized under the
management of the present receiver.
Legal steps are more than likely to be
instituted. in the matter Of one stock
holder liable for $4,000, who was COM
promised with for $1,S75.
The basis of the suit will be the pub
lie statement in a public meeting that
said stakeholder would lose every cent
he had on earth but that he would pay
his assessment in full, and the bank de-
positors would lose nothing on his &C
count. Whether this will stand law
and the proceedings Of the receiver In
this case be annulled. is an open ques-
ton but the dissatisfied depositors
feel assured that If this case is brought
to the attention Of Shaw and Control
Ter Ridgley it will produce results. In
regard to the politics in the case Lacey
has relieved himself Of some embar-
rassment as to any direct action In the
appointment of Receiver Swords but
there is a general feeling that politics
did result in the appointment of q man
outside of Poweshiek county, notwith-
standing there were many men living
in Montezuma, Malcolm or Brooklyn
who would have been acceptable both
to depositors and stockholders. There
Is surprising number of women's sig
natures on the list, asking for the re-
moval of the present receiver, and to
these the loss of even the small amount
of money they had in the defunct bank
is most serious. Hardly any OF the
business firms are interested more than
to hope for as speedy n settlement as
possible, and this without making the
appointment of any receiver "a plum, =
for political services rendered. There
is no feeling because Lanphere was
not appointed. Lanphere himself is no
sore head. and the majority of republi-
cans here feel that Lacey in trying to
secure the services of Judge Lewis
Of Montezuma. was working along the
line Of the real interests of both stock
holders and depositors. Nevertheless
so acute is the situation now that to
claim that the continuance of the pres
emit receivership will not result in fu-
ture political grief is mistake. If
political considerations forced the APP
pointment greater ones demand the
change.

LAW DOES NOT APPLY
Federal Court Judge Holds State Fire
Escape Law Does Not Apply to
Special Charter Cities-cases Grew
Out Of Hotel Fire In Cedar Rapids.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Nov. s.-The defense
in the cases of Asplund and olive M.
Young against the Bever Land Com
pany scored a point yesterday after
noon when Judge Henry 7. Reed OF the
United States circuit court gave de-
cision that the state fire escape law
does not apply to special charter cit
les.
The two cases which are now being
tried are both based on the state law
and on the city ordinance. The cases
in the superior court of this city are
also based on both the statutes anS
the ordinance. The decision OF fed
eral judge that the state law does not
apply was received with much salts
faction by the attorneys for the de-
tense.
The decision Of Judge Reed was an
nounced during an argument on mo-
ton submitted by the defense to take
the cases from the jury. The evidence
in the cases, with one or two minor ex-
ceptions was all in shortly after 2
o'clock and the Jurors were then ex-
cused until Wednesday morning at $3.50
SO that they might go to their home
and vote. The arguments on the mo-
ton to direct verdict were then TAX
en- up. Senator Trewin made the ar
gument for the defense and Colonel
Clark replied for the plaintiffs. The
court took the matter under advise
ment and will announce his ruling
Wednesday morning.
The court said, however, that at the
time the demurrer of the defense to
the petition of the plaintiffs was sub,
mitted and argued by written briefs
he had gone into the question OF the
applicability of the state law very
carefully before over ruling the demur-
rer. He then announced his decision
that the state law does not apply to
special charter cities.

DAKOTA ENTHUSIASTS RETURN.
Iowa Farmers Who Wsnt to North
Dakota Returning in Large Num-

bers. }t
Special to Ti1nes-Republtcan.
Iowa Falls, Nov. s.-The exodus of
farmers few years ago to North Da-
kota Is being followed by their return
to Iowa after few years spent in that
state. Attracted by the cheap lands
and the fairy tales told by vendors Of
real estate. many sold out their hold
ings here and decided to cast their lot
with the front rank Of the empire that
is ever moving westward. These same
farmers that listened to the glowing
recital of the fortunes made in the
new country and forsook Iowa in hopes
of lettering their material welfare are
now returning in large numbers. While
they all admit that that section yield
ed good crops this year and that good
prices were received for grain, yet the
section has drawbacks that former res
idents of Iowa cannot overlook, and
they are content to leave the unmade
fortunes for others to seek and resume
a residence in Iowa with all it's advan-
tages.

FARMING MATTERS.
Stock Feeding Experiment.

1t is stated that Professor w. l.. Car
lyle, who has been in Washington for
the purpose of endeavorirg to secure an
appropriation for the Colorado Agri-
cultural College, to enable it to carry
on stock feeding experiments, has al
ready secured enough money to defray
the expense of the experiment now be-
ing carried on at Loveland by coop
Grafton between the Agricultural Col
lege ard the Denver Union Stock
Yards. He is also assured that the
committee on agriculture will report
more favorably Tor at least $4,000 per
year more.
The Loveland experiment is pro-
crossing finely. The three lots, l5O
head of steers are all showing up well.
This test is expected to give such re-
suits as will enable those in charge Of
it to intelligently plan future work
along the line of producing superior
grade OF meat without the use oil the
old-time favorite, corn. The gains
made by the three lots in the test and
the ration fed is as follows:
Lot No Consisting of fifty range
steers, made TO date an average gain
OF 66 Il pounds per head on a ration of
oats, barley, beet pulp and alfalfa.
Lot No. 2-An equal number OF
steers, did a trifie better on the same
ration, except a very small quantity OF
ground corn was substituted for the
oats and barley, the average gain being
10 5 pounds.
Lot No. 3-Has probably excited the
most interest This bunch was fed Il
straight bill-of-fare in shape Of beet
pulp and alfalfa. The steers are not
quite as prosperous looking as the corn
fed animals. but in weight they com
pare very favorably. the average being
67.7 pounds per head.
This test will be carried on for sew
eral weeks yet, and when it is complet-
ed and the results analysed, Professor
Carlyle will publish his determinations
in bulletin form and they will be sent
free to every farmer or stockman in the
state who desires them.

a letter in her bosom in which the
names of ID. j. Sullivan and Mrs. Ros-
