NEW SERIAL STORY.

Following "The Wings of the Morn
ing" the last installment OF which APP
pears today, the Times Republican Will
offer tomorrow the first chapter of a
new and absorbingly interesting detec-
tive story "The Holiday Case" by
Burton E. Stevenson In conception,
plot and detail it is as startling as
any of Sir Conan Doyle's and has what
is one of the prime necessities OF a
novel published in installments, the
sustained action in every chapter, to
keep interest awake from day to day.
THE Wings of the Morning" had this
quality and has been met with approx
ing comment. 1.-The Holiday Case is
quite as readable as Mr.. Tracey's story
and affords a complete change. Good
detective stories touch more tastes taan
any other line of fiction and "The Hol-
aday Case" Is one of the best.
The author has spread his mystery
across two continents, but In doing
this has not Strung out" or atteruated
his plot. There is no tedious descrip-
ton of the guide book variety. His
characters leap into action with mur-
der mystery to be unraveled by mix
ture Of good fortune and acuteness.
The usual love story is woven natur-
ally into the web of the tale as 1t pro-
ceeds to satisfying close. Don't miss
the first chapter tomorrow.

little said or known concerning the

lege near this place. What Is known
as Dairy Hail. q magnificent, large

Instruments necessary for practical

line. In the opinion of many, this
building and it's contents as well as
the 200 acres especially for use as a
dairy farm, represents the best invest
ment of the taxpayers money on these
extensive college grounds. For in this
building our Iowa boys can learn
many things, only to be found out by
actual work and investigation. The

of ratification. And that settles the
question of treaty in the present
congress.
But when the loss falls on the meat
and they find their markets circum-
scribed what of the effect on the re-
publican party? To quote the editorial
opinion of the Post the Washington
view of the probabilities is this:
The republican party will discover
that If it had tackled the subject of tar
if revision, it would have avoided trou-
Bile, if not disaster. When the pinch
comes among the cattle growers and
corn raisers of the middle west as the
result OF German exclusion of Ameri-
can meats and foodstuffs, western con-
gressmen of the republican faith will
hear something drop. There are too
many close districts in the middle west
to justify republican leaders in post
poning the real issue much longer. For
eign trade embarrassments. coming
home to the American pro-
Queer, will touch the most sensitive
nerve, and the party will get it's share
of the resulting shock. The domestic
evils of the standpat system will be
doubly odious when foreign tariff hard
ships are added.
Secretary Root, as a good republican,
whose faith in his party is perhaps
equaled by his hope, is perfectly jush-
fed in betraying alarm over the situa-
x,-t; oh, fnreSipht clearly
veals. The party leaders in congress
would share his alarm, too. If they
could be endowed with his provision.

OUR PHILIPPINE TRADE.

It is estimated that our total trade
with the Philippines for the calendar
year 1905 will amount to $20,0oO.o00, as
against a little more than $4,000,000 in
in 1897, the year next preceding the
American occupation Of the islands.
With this estimate goes the statement
that the imports in 1905 have been
chiefly hemp and sugar, the figures on
these articles for ten months being:
Hemp $1O,376,52S, and sugar, $2,212,-
24e.
AS the statistics are likely to be dis
cussed in connection with the question
Of the tariff, it will be interesting to
go into the subject in greater detail.
The fact is that aside from hemp and
sugar there is very little lett in the
table of imports, since they make up
$12,5Ss,777 out of total of $12,652.-
262. The value of the tobacco imported
was only $1,s01.
Hemp is on the free list and will re-
main there. AS regards sugar, the
ways and means committee of the
House, has been told recently that if it
were greatly reduced, the acreage of
cane would greatly increase and the
islands would produce more than the
total consumption in the United States.
Their actual production in 1903
1904, was 100000 tons. In the year
1903 the consumption of the United
States was reckoned at 2.549,642 tons,
or Ill pounds per capita. The Philip
pines production was inferior to that
of Porto Rico, Louisiana, Hawaii. 1t
was much less than the beet sugar out
put of the United States and one-tenth
the product Of Cuba. 1t would have
to grow enormously to take the place
of our necessary imports from other
countries. 1t would have to develop
out Of all proportion to it's present rel
alive Importance in Philippines in
dustries. Hemp is not only the larg-
est export to this country, but much
the largest item in the general ex-
ports.
Our own exports to the Philippines
have increased since this country took
over the islands to $6,o00,000 from
$25O,O00.

STAND PAT pollcYAnp THE PARTY.

Secretary Root and President Roose-
welt are reported by the Washington
Post as pressing upon Secretary Shaw
a scheme to relieve to some extent at
least the friction that exists between
the United States and Germany on the
question and enforcement of tariff
laws. From the Posts news account
it would appear that Secretary Shaw
has favored retaliation and reprisal at
American ports ofaeritry and that the
administration OF customs regulations
has BEEN on the order Of the Modes
and Persians.
Secretary Root has insisted on a re-
form Of this severity and is backed by
the president who is said to have been
ignorant Of the system pursued by the
treasury It is not thought in Wash
ington that Secretary Shaw will will
ingly institute these reforms, but ut
is understood that the president, who
only recently was made acquainted
With the decidedly unusual cOndltlon
Of affairs, will insist upon his Secretary
of the Treasury acting with the ut
most vigor and frankness in the mat
ter Should the secretary of The treas
ury carry out in good faith the orders
OF his chief the relief afforded will be
of minor and temporary character. The
serious matter is the retaliatory tariff
that Germany will put into effect next
March unless some treaty agreement
may be effected Strict enforcement
of that tariff will lose American pro-
ducers market second only to that
OF Great Britain. Secretary Root is
reported to have fully made up his
mind to send no treaty to the senate to
be slaughtered and will submit no rec
iprocity treaty without assurance from
such men as Senators Allison, Aldrich
and Spooner, that it has some chance

MINING ABOUT DUBUQUE.
lDubuQue Timesl


Hope springs eternal in the human
breast, particularly if that breast is
the property Of miner The hope ex
lists in this community that the min
ing industry here is to be revived and
that it is to be prosecuted on a scale
of magnificenee surprising the most
delightful visions of the pioneer.
This hope is based on the knowledge
that by modern methods it is possible
to explore lead bearing country as
it could not have been tested before
the days of the diamond drills The
early miners searched for lead ore
only, not knowing the value of black
,, jack and dryt,one, which indeed did
not become marketable until the early
sVs or thereslbouts. They prospected
by sinking a shaft down to the first.
second or third opening and exploring
it with pick. shovel and blasting pow
der. The reward was sometimes mea-
ger and frequently nil The miner
might try dozen prospects before or
after finding one lead or might
spend winter after winter in the bow
els of the earth without once feasting
his eyes on bunch of mineral worth
mentioning except to the partner
who paid off Saturday night and often
followed the game until his money
gave out.
By modern methods the miner learns
what Is beneath the surface before he
sinks the shaft. The drill brings up a
core that tells the story. If the min
eral is there the new method will find
it when the old would not. Water or
foul air may drive out miner but
not a drill
The mines of Dubuque have. yield
ed more mineral than those of Wis
consin. The important question is
whether they have been exhausted.
That they have been is suspected by
nobody who has ever been interested
in the mines of this vicinity. The de-
cline OF mining is attributed to the
low price of ore which prevailed for
many years, to the frequency with
liable operations and to the desultory
manner in which the industry was
carried on.
| Mining about Dubuque has been
poor mans proposition because he
could work at it during the winter
when there was nothing else doing. In
Wisconsin it has been handled in a
business-like manner and with such
success that the possibilities of the
Dubuque field have attracted the at
te2tion of Wisconsin owners and of
young business men at home. We are
now promised thorough exploration
of this field by modern methods. And
there are those who expect to see min
ing become the chief industry of Du-
buuue within the next five years.

possible. Here the SOn VIII find out
by actual test and experiment If the
old mans notions are notions or facts.
The young man taking the dairy course
of instruction will not only know
how much milk can be obtained from
the numerous breeds of cows, but will
know how much butter can be made
from 100 pounds of milk. He will learn
not only how to make the best but
ter, but also learn what kind Of feed
to give to what kind of cows to get
the most butter. Not only this, but If
he wants to know what kind of steers
to buy for fattening, what age will
pay the best, what kind of food to
give to the best kind Of steers he will
learn it here in this department, not by
the often sad financial experience of
others, perhaps that of his father, on
the home farm, but all this at the ex-
pense of the state of Iowa, on the 200
acre dairy farm. Not only this is to be
learned here, but the United States
government will have large room In
this building fitted up for scientific re-
search, with the latest and most inn
proved instruments needed for such
work, this work to be carried on by
two professors in the pay of the gov
eminent, and the result of their work
experiments and research, to be at the
disposal of the students Of the college.
1t gives the reader an idea of the prac-
teal work Of this dairy farm, to know
that when in full operation, the state
of Iowa will churn about 1,500 pounds
of butter each day. which insures
glass of buttermilk for each student
each day, unless it should be thought
best to give it to the state pigs. For
many of these facts and other courte-
sizes the writer is indebted to Assistant
Superintendent c. Larson.
1t is a difficult question to handle,
this for the reason this is supposed to
be free country and the young men
in attendance at this college are sup
posed to be young men and not boys.
But there ought to be somewhere
lodged. in board of trustees, in presf-
dent, in faculty or police, power to
stop the internal habit of cigaret
smoking now common and disgusting
among many of the students, this In
public and in the smoking car on the
motor line. Several of these "cigaret
fiends" now show by their facial ex-
PRESTON to say nothing Of discolored
mouths and fingers. that they are not
occasional users of the cigaret. but
have "got the habit" And it is very
much of question if the state Of
Iowa has any money to throw away in
trying to educate" such dope users:
If it is question of money. by all
means let the board of trustees buy
great gross of cob pipes and a carload
of smoking tobacco and furnish the
same free to all of these white-faced
specimens of humanity. If these
young men must use the cigaret 1T Will
