BARRED FROM THE MAILS.
Rochester Concern Required $50 De-
post From Managers.

Washington, July 29.-The National
Jobbing Company, Of Rochester, N. Y,
has been denied the use of the mails
by an order issued by the postoffice
department. The company has done
an extensive business in the past sew
en- months and had branches In New
York, Pittsburg. Chicago, Detroit, and
indianapolis. 1t advertised for branch
office managers, ETC., offering salaries
of $40 per week, but requiring deposits
of $50 for the outfit of plated silver
ware, which the inspectors reported not
worth over $40. and which they were
required to sell at an advance of 20
per cent. over it's commercial value.
Each also was required to secure six
canvassers. who were to deposit SO
each for smaller outfits. The applicant
subsequently found the $50 salary was
not Forthcoming, unless the sales OF
silverware exceeded $50 per week, and
when he tried to obtain his $50 de-
post it was regarded as sale. H. s.
Barman, secretary and treasurer of the
company, acknowledged in the investi-
cation by the department that 164
special representatives and 1900 can
yassers had been employed on the
terms named, and the report OF the
inspector notes the fact that II the
conditions could be carried out the
number of employees on the basis in
the course OF a year would equal the
total number of employees of the pos
tai service. The attorney OF the de-
partment held the scheme to be one
coming within the scope OF using the
mails to defraud the public, and the
order was issued.

VAN WAGENEN AND BRYAN.
Latter Sticks to Public Ownership o
Railroads-Forn1er Would Quit.

Sioux City, July 29.-Though Judge
A. Van Wagenen. of Sioux City, was
the first man in the country to make
serious attempt to get the democrat
ic party to adopt a public ownership
of railroads plank in its platform, he
is not fully in accord with the Hon
w. j. Brya1's agitation of this same
principle at this time. Mr.. Bryan de-
clared for it in a formal statement last
week.
Il believe the time to make a fight
for a political principle is when an
effort is being made to incorporate II
in the party platform or after it has
been so incorporated" said Judge Van
Wagenen yesterday. Public owner
ship is not an issue in this campaign
and cannot be made one. However. 1t
Is source of qualification to me that
such a brilliant thinker and statesman
as Mr.. Bryan should openly declare for
the principle which is near to my
heart"
AT the anti Bryan banquet at the
Jefferson day banquet in February,
1903, at Waterloo. Judge Van Wage
men declared himself in no uncertain
terms against the policy of clinging
to dead and stagnant issues and held
out as an issue upon which the demo-
cratic party might go forward to sue
cess. that Of government ownership OF
railroads. The Sioux City man, who
has been prominent in Iowa democracy
for many years. had a year before de-
serted the silver wing of the party,
and for this he had antagonized Mr..
Bryan.
When Mr.. Bryan arrived here last
week to lecture at the chautauqua as
sembly h, sent for Judge Van Wag-
enen The two had an interesting and
friendly discussion of the public own
ership of railroads question, and Mr..
Bryan asked for and secured copy
of Judge Van Wagenen's Anthem. Ia,
speech fer publication In the Com
moner. This address was made at a
large picnic at Anthem and was a dis
cussion of the merits of public own
ership of .ailroads, following his open
declaration in favor of such policy in
the Waterloo speech.
After the Anthem address. Judge Van
Wagenen vas invited to address a Des
MoInes banquet of democrats on the
same subject. This banquet was her
aided as Bryan feast. but before the
time for the banquet arrived n tacit
compromise was reached by which the

Church Trial Of Rev. kester Results In
His Favor.

Church Trial Of Rev. kester Results In
His Favor.
Fayette. July 29.-Rev. NJ. Hester.
pastor of the Hawke,e Methodist Epis-
copal church. has been exonerated
from the charge of burning his own
house to the ground, by board of
Methodist ministers under the direction
OF Presiding Elder Fleming.
The case has excited considerable
comment because of the peculiar cir
cumstances surrounding the event.
Several weeks since The house in which
the pastor resided was burned to the
ground in the middle of the night. The
occurrence excited no comment for
several days, until it was discovered
that a ladder reached from the ground
to the second story OF the house. This
became the nucleus of scandal which
soon grew to an accusation against the
minister that he had fired his own
dwelling. making his escape by the aid
of the ladder to the ground. Other
wise, II was argued, he would have
been burned to death. together with the
members OF his family. The 1nysteri-
Gus ladder was at the bottom OF the
case.
Comment Injurious.
Rev. Hester became aware that he
was being made the subject Of unfav-
orable comment. and, being unable to
place himself at rights, determined to
have trial of the church, by which he
could be cleared ty testimony self
brought.
Yesterday, at his suggestion, the pre-
siding elder of the district called a
dozen Of the preachers Of the surround
ing towns to Fayette, where testimony
was heard for and against the minis
ter, and verdict rendered on the mer-
its OF the case.
No significance was paid to the pres
ence of the ladder leaning against the
house. and the minister was acquitted
OF the serious charge OF which he was
accused. yet not officially.
His congregation is well pleased with
the outcome Of the trial. and will man
ifest their joy with a reception, to be
held very soon

remarked that Mr.. Bryan. who listened
intently to Judge Van Wagenen's adj
dress, made no comment upon it in his
newspaper. He explained to Judge Van
Wagenen last week the reason for this
was his desire not to appear to be fos-
tering new policies while the nominal
leader of the party. OF his retirement
from this leadership the Lincoln man
facetiously spoke during his chautau-
qua. He said if any doubted this re-
tirement he could furnish absolute
proof.

which killed him evidently having been
made by bayonet or dagger.
When last seen by two fellow SOL

man. He told the soldiers that he was
going to the fort Immediately. He
started In that direction and that was
the last seen of him.

YOUNG BROWN FOUND
Farmer Lad Who Had Caused All
Kinds Of Anxiety in Vicinity of Cedar
Falls Found Working For a Thresh

! Cedar Falls, July 29.-Eugene Brown.
a young farmer lad, who for three days
has been causing the entire surround
ing country much anxiety because of
his sudden disappearance, was found
yesterday working with threshing
outfit on a neighboring farm.
Young Brown disappeared three
days ago. He ate his breakfast and
was not seen afterward. Presenting
that he had gone to the home of a
neighbor for the night his parents
thought nothing of his absence until
the second day. At that time a search
result. The farmers Of the neighbour
hood were organized into posses for the
purpose of locating him and the en-
tire country searched.
All the rivers and bodies of water IN
the neighborhood where any possibil-
ity existed of his having been drowned
were explored, but his body failed to
materialize.
His parents grew distracted at his
prolonged absence. His mother
nearly bereft OF her reason, neither
slept nor took nourishment at the
thought of an awful snd. Theories Of
foul play were plentiful altho the mo-
tive for such an act was missing.
Officers of all surrounding towns were
notified of the sudden disappearance of
the lad and a sharp lookout was kept.
Wednesday as a number of the
searchers were nearing q threshing
outfit near Clarksville a rumor was
heard that he WAS employed with the
gang. Upon further investigation this
was found to be true and the young
fellow was found among the attend
ants to the machine in the garb of Il
farmer busily engaged in pitching
bundles into the thresher.
He showed no reluctance to return
ing with his finders and has no excuse
to offer for his absence except that he
wanted to go away.

IOWA CORN Is SOARING
Price Jumps to Fifty Cents Per
Bushel and Higher-Blow
to Feeders
WILL LOSE HEAVILY BY STRIKE
Iowa Live Stock Men Fear to Ship and
With Corn at Such High Figure
and Extremely Scarce Too, They Arc
in a Difficult Position-Railroads
Will Also Suffer.

Des Moines, July 29.--As a result OF
the packing house strikes. the price o.
corn in Iowa has jumped to fifty cents
| per bushel, and in some localities high
er. The feeders OF the state are pur-
chasing all that can be secured and
are paying five ana ten cents pei
bushel more for it than the elevator
men and shippers can afford to offer.
Captain NJ. T. Russell, one of the bes,
informed grain men In Iowa, stated
yesterday that it was impossible to
practically all the surplus from las,
year had been secured by the feeders,
who were guarding IL more closely
than ever. as a protracted strike might
mean they would have to hold live
stock longer than they originally In
tended.
Blow to Feeders.
Iowa live stock men VIII lose heav-
lily by the strike. A large number of
hogs and cattle are practically ready
to ship. that Is, the grass fed animals.
The live stock have been allowed to
range on good pasturage and have also
been fed some corn. In order to give
them the proper finish. This class of
stock. If not marketed when they reach
certain grade Of fattening, mean a
heavy loss to the owner If they are not
disposed Of.
The feeders fear to ship. as 1t IS pos
sible their stock may be held indef-
initely in the stock yards before being
disposed of. which would mean heavy
loss.
With corn at such high figure. they
are between the devil and the deep sea
However, it is said that the amount
of fat stock on hand in Iowa this year
is not nearly as great as in previous
years.
Railroads Will Lose.
The strike probably affects the rail-
roads as much or more than any other
interest. There has been very little
freight business out of Iowa for sew
eral months, the live stock shipments
forming big portion of it. With no
grain moving and the live stock busi-
ness reduced to naught. the roads are
feeling the blow severely. The new
grain crop Will not begin to move un-
til about August Is.
Now Oats Good.
'Oats In Iowa will be a much better
grade this year than during the past
two years. said Captain M. T. Russell
yesterday. II have received samples
from southern and central Iowa and
they run from 20 to 81 pounds per
bushel. For the past two years, they
have varied from % to &c pounds per
bushel.
Some threshing is being done in
southern Iowa. If Iowa farmers were
sensible, they would stack the grain
instead Of threshing from the shock.
If the weather is dry and warm shock
threshing may be All right If 1t is
rainy, like last year. farmers who at
tempt 1t lose lots of money
