The Allen Orchestra.

Daily Democrat, 20.
The large audience that witnessed
the excellent presentation of"Quincy
Adams Sawyer" at the opera house
last night also highly enjoyed the
splendid renditions by the Allen
orchestra. We do not believe that
outside of the cities there is an organ
ization OF more finished and artistic
musicians, and it is matter OF re-
greet that they are not oitener heard
in public. Their music last night was
superb. and appreciation was shown
in the frequent and hearty applause.

Chicken Cure for INSANITY.

What is regarded as one of the most
remarkable instances of a peculiar
case of cure of insanity is reported
from the state insane hospital at Clar-
linda. The patient was a man named
Miller, Who was sent to the hospital
about six years ago. He was violent
and manifested homicidal and suicidal
tendencies, feared some one was after
him to kill him and was prepared to
take his own life. One day an attend
ant took him alone down to the big
chicken house where several incubat-
ors were Matching out chickens. He
became interested at once and asked
to take charge of that work and was
given the task of watching the incu-
bators. This was three years ago.
Last month he was discharged cured.
He was not paroled. He had remained
until long after 1t became evident he
was new man. And until he got
started in the chicken business he was
the craziest man of the lot. Another
crazy man has been put at the chicken
yards. and the hospital authorities
have hopes of him.

CORNER THE POTATO MARKET
Des Moines Dealers Form a Trust and
Boost Prices,

Boost Prices.
An effort is to be made to apply the
state law against trusts and combines
to the commission houses of Des
Moines, which have monopolized the
trade in potatoes recently, and, it is
said, by artificially raising prices have
made an enormous profit. 1t Is alleg.
ed contract was signed by these com.
mission firms binding them to main.
tain a uniform price and to meet each
week and fix the price by mutual
agreement for the week. They each
put up forfeit Of cash in the hands
Of a manager who is authorized to en-.
force the agreement, and see to it that
there is no cutting of prices. The ex.
istence of the trust was made known
to the local dealers in potatoes by the
condition of prices at Des Moines as
compared with elsewhere in the state,
and investigation brought the contract
to light. There is stringent law in
Iowa against such combines in re.
straint of trade. but it has never been
applied. and no attempt has ever been
made to apply it. The Polk county at
torney has taken up the matter and
Will cause prosecution If the evidence
Is sufficiently strong.

Suit Brought to Test Validity Of Act
Empowering the Secretary Of state
to Collect Fees From Com
pany lneorporators.

Iowa may lose 100000 in a lawsuit
which is to be brought to test the val
idlty OF the act empowering the Sec
rotary of state to collect fees for the
filing OF articles of incorporation. If
the law should be held to be unconsti-
tutional the state will not only lose
the sum mentioned, but also several
millions in prospect.
The action will be brought by the
Sioux City Gas and Electric company.
1t will be commenced in the courts Of
Polk county and in itself involves the
sum Of s1,6S5. 1t has created furore
In state circles at Des Moines. The
Rock Island Railway company recently
paid filing fee of $4,000 without a
protest.
Prior to the twenty eighth general
assembly of Iowa, the maximum filing
fee for articles of Incorporation was
$4,000. That legislature raised it, and
the next general assembly took away
the limit entirely, making the fee $25
for the first $4,000 of capital stock
and 81 additional for each $1,000 of
stock. Shortly after this the Rock
Island paid it's big fee.
The highest legal talent in the state
Is arrayed against the law, including
Congressman Walter I. Smith and
Craig & Wright, and e. H. Hubbard of
Sioux City. The three latter are inter-
ested stockholders.

There May Be a Bolt.

The Democratic state convention
will be held in Iowa City July Is.
There are two names mentioned for
chairman Of the convention, that of
T. ]. Stiger of Toledo and Martin ].
Wade OF Davenport. The latter, the
congressman from the Second district,
represents the gold wing of the Dem
ocratic party in Iowa and it seems
probable that he will be chosen. I'm
less all signs fail there will be a bolt
when an attempt is made to organize
the convention. Chairman Maxwell of
the state central committee will not
be allowed to organize his committee.
which is called to meet at Iowa City
the evening prior to the convention.
He will be able to control the votes of
three members, but the other ten will
be against him. The bolt is caused
by those opposed to William R. Hearst
as a presidential candidate. 1t is said
that there will be two conventions at
Iowa City, and that the Democrats
may be hopelessly rent in twain.

T@ 1LACID In his bazaar Persian
lF merchant sat studying the
crowds that stopped and ex-
ss ~ amined his goods when Hafiz
Etfendi led Milk, the agent of the
ameer, to seat at the farther end of
the Persian divan and purchased to-
bacco and pipes, taking one himself
and filing the other for Milk.
"Sit where you are, watching at all
times the door of the large linen bazaar
opposite" said Haaz when the pipes
were smoking satisfactorily. "There
you will see -what you will see."
Milk kept his eyes ON the object
spoken Of by the Turk. The linen ba-
Eaar was larger. cleaner, better equip
ped and gave more evidence of pros
perity than any other portion Of the
fair within sight. Bales of finest linen
were displayed. Near the end Of long
table could be seen an elderly merchant
In Georgian costume watching his sew.
eral employees handle and sell his
goods.
"That, my friend from Bokhara,"
said Hafiz, us Ignatz Biartelkis, the
richest merchant in T1flis."
"And will he supply that for which
camel"
"He WILL"
"Good. Why do we not go to him In
stead of sitting idly here?"
"For the excellent reason. my friend,
that he does not know he is going to
perform this generous act"
Milk shook his head again. He did
not understand this slow and laborious
method. His way, the way of his peo-
pie, would have been to attack Tiflis
and take what was wanted. Milk had
| not yet learned the power Of the arm
.nar reaches fram st. Petersburg to
the Caspian. Suddenly he started from
his seat.
"Curses!" said Hafiz. "You will be
shot, and you will have me shot by
the Muscovite. There he is"
There she isP' said Milk breath
lessly.
There he Is, as I have spoken. His
eyes are not now turned this way, but
hold yourself with calmness. Orskoff
knows things when he sees them"
| At that moment the officer mention
ed, who had been sauntering along the
crowded street, stopped to speak to a
girl who had come to the door of the
bazaar of Ignatz Biartelkis. She was
a girl who would cause others than
Milk to stare. Her complexion was
like the blush of a peach. Her eyes
I were black and shaded with long, silky
lashes. Her hair was long and fell in
a raven food below her waist. She
wore a tall, bejeweled headdress that
made her seem almost statuesque.
From her shoulders long, elegant
covering of lace barely hid q gown
that might have come from Paris. On
her feet were tiny patent leather shoes
from the bazaar of the Jewish trader
two doors away. Upon her fingers Were
various rings-diamonds, rubies and
sapphires. Jeweled bracelets were up
on her wrists. Her form was elegance
endowed with human life. The com
