To reach these coal properties It will

WILL PROTECT SONG BIRDS.
Authorities Of Hamilton County Start
Crusade.

Clarion, April 22.-Because Of the
wholesale slaughter of the early song
birds in that section, the authorities OF
Hamilton county are about to begin
crusade against the man with the gun
The matter first came to the attention
Of officials when the Austrians who
are employed on the Illinois Central
railroad, began killing all kinds of birds
for food. The entire gang of men hunt
every Sunday among the birds which
frequent this section In early spring.
But this practice does not appear to
have been confined to the Austrians,
for a case is reported where man who
Is endeavoring to start a cherry or
chard, has been waging war on the
robbins particularly.

Sioux City, April 22.-Since the re-
suits in Cherokee and OBrien counties
political prophets have begun to be-
lieve that the winner in the congress
sional race will come from the field
rather than from the two leaders.
Thomas and Hubbard. Consequently
this week will close with greater inter-
est conferred on Funk and Roach.
It is argued that the situation has
reached such a point that Thomas and
Hubbard must each kill off the other
to secure a nomination, since they both
can't be nominated. and that the per-
sistent charges made by the Sioux City
Journal against the Thomas people, to
the effect that the Thomas managers
have stolen their advantage In severai
counties, have embittered Thomas dele
gates against the Sioux City candf-
date. It is, therefore, predicted that, It
Thomas can't be nominated, his dele
gates will insist upon naming the man

Getting the leaders into q fight is

ond choice candidates. A movement Is

"kill More PIGS"
TOmaha World-R erald.l

A characteristic incident in which
George Francis Train figured occurred
in Omaha once when he was lecturing
in the Farnham Street theater. showing
the alertness of his mind and his power
to condense a great problem IN
phrase of three words. The occasion
referred to was at time when the
South Omaha packing house had been
operating for period of several years.
Omaha had high ambitions, and hoped
to succeed Kansas City as the second
pork packing center In the United
States and the world, but didn't know
lust how to go at 1T. While Mr. Train
was speaking, some one in the audience
interrupted him with the question,
What shall we do to make Omaha
the second pork packing piint?' or
words of similar effect. Quick as a
flash, and without moments hesta-
tion, Mr.. Train replied: xiii more
pigs" Here was great truth in q
nutshell.

A Real Comedy in Real Life.

A comedy more amusing than those
enacted on the stage, because more true
to life and therefore appealing more to
human disabilities, was enacted at Bay
onne, New Jersey. a few days ago
An Italian saloon keeper named Nue.
sage gave his son billy goat for a
birthday present. On the goats be-
ing brought to the family domicile, the
family bull dog made life SO miser-
able for the goat that he decided to
let the dog have the yard to himself
He wandered out on the common and
sought to enjoy himself in the ways
which goats have. A bad boy app
preached him. snapped a clothespln on
his tail and climed tree out of the
animals reach. The goat made bee
line for his new. Into the saloon he
went, and began TO chase the pin on his
tail around in circle in the manner of
q dog chasing his tail. He was not to
be allowed to pursue this innocent
amusement, however, for the bull dog
once more hove on the scene and, NIP
ping the goat at the heels, made him
mount on achadr. He wans't out OF the
dogs reach there, tho, and he sprang
on the bar, where he again teok up the
pursuit of his tail. Suddenly he espied
his image in the glass above the coun-
ter behind the bar Teh proprietor,
who had been out while all this scene
was being enacted and now thinking
that some of the buns" from the gas
house were taking the house, ran in
with a loaded rifle. The goat by this
time was on the floor in another en-
gagement with the dog. The Italian
took aim at it and fired. Instead of
bringing the goat down, however,
down went the dog. AT this climax in
ran the proprietor's iwfe and seeing the
melee, straighway tainted.
The goat ran out, the neighbors ran
in, and found Mrs. Mucsago lying on
the floor beside the body of the family
protector, with the proprietor standing
over them with smoking rifle. The
outraged neighbors were for lynchfng
the saloonkeeper, until the woman
came to and helped her husband ex-
plain how 1T all happened.

Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. April 22.--One OF the
most novel experiments ever tried IN
the state with relation to agricultural
education was that of the past week in
Iowa when a special train ran out over
the Rock Island railroad into north
western Iowa carrying Prof. P. G. Hol-
den of the department of grains at the
State Agricultural college, and DR..
John r. Sage, head of the state crop
and weather bureau. and others, the
purpose Of the journey being to afford
the farmers opportunity for consulting
with crop experts in the matter of seed
corn and the growing of the staple
crop of Iowa. Fifty stops were made,
al In corn growing districts. and farm
ers fiocked to the train in great NUM-
hers to listen to Messrs, Holden and
Sage, Even at the stopping places
where there was nothing else than a
eiding.t the car was filled with eager IN
Quirers. It was an experiment to de-
termine on the interest which the real
farmers of Iowa are taking in corn
growing and modern methods as
taught by the experts, and to give
them substantial Information on the
subject The experiment was in every
way successful.
i WIS surprised" said Mr.. Sage on
his return, ..to find the great interest
manifested. AT q time when the farm
ers were busiest at their spring work
they turned out in great numbers and
manifested real interest in the subject.
We have much yet to learn in Iowa as
to corn growing. Heretofore we have
depended too much on vast acreage.
Now We are striving for large yields
per acre and to make them certain
every year. BY SO doing we may re-
duce the acreage in Iswa--which ought
be doneand still put the big crops OF
corn up to four hundred million bush
els That will make Iowa the ideal
corn and stock state of the union"
The interest manifested by the actual
working farmers in this journey OF
those Specialists in crop matters thru
the state, is taken as a tribute to the
excellent work done in educating them
by the state college and thru the
weather and crop bureau an in other
ways. The state has demonstrated
that II Is possible to reach the heart
Of the common people in this way.
