Sneaker Cannon and His Callers.

Congressmen who call on Speaker
Cannon to ask favors have learned to
know in advance whether their re-
quests are to be granted or refused.
Mr.. Cannon listens to his visitor
plea and in some cases jots down a
penciled memorandum which he
thrusts into his trousers pocket. In
other cases he makes no such move
though all visitors are received with
the same smiling suavity. 1t Is com
ing to be noticed, however. that wheh
he fails to make a memorandum the
caller has pleaded in vain.

An excellent fireprocf paint for
shingle roof is red iron oxide with
boiled linseed oil for the first coat,
finished with a second coat of raw oil.
This is dark brown color and the
most durable of all kinds of paint, as
he oil and the iron oxide make a
chemical combination which Is abb
sorbed by the wood or unites with a
metal roof. The quantity needed Is
based on the fact that one gallon OF
the thin first coat will cover four
hundred square feet, and the second
heavier coat will require a gallon for
two hundred and fifty square feet.
re the roof is of shingles 1t Is desira-
bic to paint these on both sides before
they are laid on the roof. They will
last twice as long as II painted only
on one side after the roof Is laid. A
quick way of painting the shingles Is
toEip them in the mixed paint.

In making concrete tile there should

A NEW LEGAL PROBLEM
Law Provides No Punishment For a
Boy Of is Years-Must be II to be
Sent to Prison and No One Who Has
Reached Age Of 1e Can be Sent to
Reform School.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. Aug. Iceland Alton. the
porter in the st. James hotel here, has
raised new law point, which appar-
emily reveals a strange loophole in the
Iowa criminal law. Alton is accused
of stealing two diamonds from a guest
at the hotel. The new law provides
that no one who has reached the age
Of 16 shall be committed to the reform
school, and no one who is under IL
shall be sent to prison. What Is to
be done with boy OF 16 who commits
a crime? That is what is bothering
County Attorney Fairchild. who Is
conducting the case.
Under the old law. a boy Of Is
could be sent either to the reform
school or to prison as the court
thought best, but now 1t is different,
and it seems that he can be sent to
neither place. The Alton boy is now
in the custody Of the sheriff, but the
sheriff has no right to confine him ana
there is nothing to prevent him from
getting away should he so desire.
In this case there is makesh1ft
which will be utilized, and that is to
delay the trial, SO that If found guilty
he will have reached the age of II
before sentence is passed. The boy
will be IL in October, so that it Is not
much of wait, but if he had just
passed the age Of 16 the officers would
be up a stump.

matter will be brought to the attention
of the committee.


Another interesting matter as dis
closing the situation Iowa takes In
the pure food agitation is disclosed in
a letter that has been placed In the
hands of Dairy Commissioner Wright
Before the Legislative committee last
winter the argument was made by the
wholesale grocers that the tastes and
demands of Iowa people were so cui-
tivated that nothing but the very best
groceries could find a market here any
way and that a law was unnecessary.
sss
1t develops, however, that some
goods were shipped to South Dakota
from Chicago firm some time ago.
South Dakota has a pure food law
which requires that everything shall
be exactly what it is labeled. The
goods were labeled red raspberry pre-
serves, but were an imitation and the
Chicago firm was called to account on
the matter and got the explanation
that the goods must have been intend
ed for Iowa but In some way got re-
shipped from this state where every
thing is eaten and limitations are
specially. The letter to the South Da-
kota commissioner explaining the mat
ter is as follows:
Chicago, May 20, 1903
Mr.. c. P. Sherwood, Food and Dairy
Commissioner, DeSmet, S. d.
Dear Sir: We have your favor of
the 27th inst. regarding report on
"Putitan" red raspberry preserves. In
reply, would say that we only sell this
as imitation. and all goods that we
have shipped into South Dakota have
been labeled either limitation" or
"mixed and adulterated." The only
way this goes into your state without
such label would be shipped in from
Iowa We are writing to Kraft &
Hanson today asking where they Sc
cured the goods, and to advise US the
number they have on hand, and we
will send them imitation labels for
same These goods are represented
and sold only as imitation goods.

OeitS on Large 0Cdie,
New York, Aug. 4.-ThomaIs a. Edi-
son announced yesterday AFTERNOON at
his home, In Orange, that, after two
years of experimenting, he is finally
satisfied with the merits of his new
storage battery and that he will at
once begin the rection of a factory to
manufacture the cells on a large scale
for the trade.
The cell as now perfected will drive
a two-ton truck at the rate of thirty
three miles an hour, with half the
weight of the old method. A small
dealer can operate a delivery wagon
with it's power at IS per cent of cost
of maintaining horse. An ordinary
automobile will run 100 miles under
ordinary conditions without recharg-
Ing. Under the most favorable con-
ditions $50 miles can be covered at a
speed Of twenty miles an hour. The
storage cell is small and inclsed In
iron. Instead of containing the old
lead plates of the original battery, it
contains alternate plates of iron and
nickel, in potash solution.
Within few weeks work will be
started on an immense factory build
ing on Lakeside avenue, Orange, N. j.,
in which employment will be given to
several hundred persons. The build
ing will be so feet long, sixty feet wide
and three stories high.

United States Health Department Is
sues Yellow Fever Circular.
Washington, Aug. 4-The public
health and marine hospital service has
issued circular on the prevention OF
yellow fever The directions given look
to the suppression of the mosquito as
the only means of preventing its
spread.
mo mosquitoes, no yellow fever,
is the motto in big black letters at the
top of the circular. The document
continues as follows:
1.-THE infection of yellow fever is
carried by mosquitoes and by no other
means is the infection spread.
Persons catch the disease by being
bitten by mosquitoes who have prev
iously bitten yellow fever patient.
1.-The mosquitoes to become infected
must bite yellow fever patient before
the first three days of his attack
These first three days are the most im-
portant for preventing the access Of
mosquitoes to a fever patient.
1T is often difficult to decide
during the first three days whether a
patient has yellow fever; hence the
necessity in threatened communities
of placing a mosquito bar Immediately
around every patient who has fever OF
any kind, and for three days at least
The necessity of drainage and
screening is dwelt upon with much
emphasis.
