AMERICA A WORLD POWER.
6aIfour Makes Prediction That Amer.
ica Must Share Old Worlds Trou.

London, June 24-The banquet OF
the Pilgrims Club last night, welcom
ing Ambassador Reid, proved the occa
sion of great international significance
Not only was 1t a remarkable tribute
to the new ambassador, participated in
by one of the most distinguished COM
panies that ever gathered in London
but it gained almost historic impol
tance from Prime Minister Balfour's
solemn declaration that Americas duty
to civilization and the cause of peace
must soon fmpel her to abandon her
traditional policy of isolation and to
accept her rightful responsibilities in
the family of nations.
His words constituted almost an in
vitation for the United States to ente,
into a compact or alliance with Great
Britain for safeguarding the world :
peace. They were so interpreted at
least by the distinguished Anglo-A1n-
erican assembly, which received them
with a great demonstration of enthu-
Siasm.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts presided
The company included almost every
one of prominence in English politics
art, letters, and science, as we'll as
many visiting Americans.
Premier BaIfour's Speech.
Premier Balfour proposed the toast
of the evening. After high personal
compliment to Ambassador Reid, he
said:
"Immemorial traditions have indicat-
ed the desire of the United States to
keen themselves as little nntanp1a1 n G
may be with the complex political
relations of the older world on this side
of the Atlantic. ! doubt whether, in its
absolute extreme purity, that doctrine
is likely to be permanently maintain
ed. So great a nation as you, Mr..
Reid, represent. owing so much to and
giving SO much td the civilization of
old Europe, sharing its learning and
advancing it's science, can hardly ex-
pect to be able to share all these things

Special to mes-Republican.
here this morning announcing the re-
lease of Eric Mikelson, Story county
boy, from the penitentiary at Helena,
Mont, where he had served year and
a half of a four year sentence for
safe cracking. The board of pardons,
after investigating Mikelson's case,
upon solicitation of his aged mother,
ordered the mans release and pro-
nounce his imprisonment a travasy on
justice, insisting that there was not
scintilla Of evidence to justify his
conviction.
Mikelson was son of Knudt Mikel-
son, one of the pioneer settlers of
Palestine township, in the southwest
corner Of this county, and was the
first merchant of the little village of
Huxley The man left here when very
young and was never heard of by his
people until the death of his father
a couple of years ago. Shortly after
the death of the father, in making a
transfer of some of the property of the
estate Senator Fitchpatrick made a
search for the kissing son that he
might get his signature to some pa
pers, and succeeded in locating him in
the Montana prison
From that day to this the aged
mother has devoted her every energy
to securing the release of the son, be-
ing thoroughly embued with conf
dence in his innocence.

Battle Creek, Iowa, June 24.-A par
ty of patent medicine men, VINO are
travelling through the country have
succeeded in separating number OF
naonle in this vicinity from thirty dol
lars each The doctors have what they
term a special cure and that no dis
ease can withstand the medicine and
treatment. The cure is guaranteed,
the provision beingf that the money
will be refunded IL the cure is not
made. Some of the people Of Battle
Greek who took the special cure find
themselves still uncured and two pa
tients have since died. The doctors
have been making their headquarters
in the northwest part of the state for
some time. Relatives of those who died
found the address Of the head doctor
and wrote to him stating they wanted
their money back but never received
a reply, according to the agreement.
No answer was given to those letters
SO the matter was put in the hands of
government authorities at Washington.
1t seems that the patent medicine peo-
pie used the mails in advertising their
scheme and government inspectors are
securing the country to secure evil
dence. 1t is expected that criminal
charge will be preferred against the
writers of the advertising letters un-
less the money Is returned. The north
west Iowa agent who is supposed to be
the head of the concern in this part of
the country is Dr. W. f. Monroe, who
is thought to live in Sioux City but
officials there state they cannot find
trace of him or medicines.
