IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Parkersbug Eclipse wonders
why "If Governor Cunmins was not
telling the truth about the tariff and
railroads, should it be necessary for
his enemies to rail at him? Men who
| continually make intentional mis-
statements, to put it mildly, usually
have no following, but the governor
has a large following among republi-
| cans all over the nation. Jealousy
sometimes will cause newspaper edi-
tors and politicians to look like long
cared mules, who have the 'hee haw'
habit.
The Manson Journal says it is a
waste of time to try to induce the
state dispensary system into Iowa. "lt
would not get a half dozen votes in the
legislature if the bill were introduced"
1t asserts.
"1llinois has adopted a law that
gives the heirs of the mobs victims
claim against the county for $4,000,
This may not stop rioting and prob
ably will not" comments the Dubu-
que Times. millions were exactad
from the county on account of dam
ages suffered during the railroad
strike at Pittsbug, in 1877, but riots
have since occurred in that vicinity.
Yet the Illinois statute is just in pro-
viding compensation for the heirs of
the man slain by the mob because its
influence will run against "rioting and
lynching."
"This paper never felt prouder of
supporting in it's humble way the adj
mihistrative powers from the board of
supervisors of Hardin county to the
state house at Des Moines and the
white house at Washington" declares
the Hardin County Citizen. Not that
mistakes may not be made, for we do
not expect of the human the divine,
but because honest efforts are being
continually made to do that which is
right, regardless in most cases Of po-
| itical fortunes"

RAINFALL, BABIES AND HIRED MEN.

That the birth rate among any PEG :
pie depends directly upon the rainfall
will come as surprising proposition
TO most readers, but such is the we'll
founded contention Of an English sta
tistician, based upon observations TAX
en- in the Indian Empire. An abund-
ant rainfall makes good crops good crops
make prosperity, prosperity makes ar
N increase in marriages, and an in
crease in marriages will increase the
number Of births, is the syllogism, and
it is a very simple one too.
: Whether or not this rule can be APP
piled to population statistics in Iowa
i, does not appear from the returns Of the
present census. All over the state the
enumerators are disclosing the fact
that Iowa has actually lost population
during the last five years in its rural
districts. Almost every county re-
turns decrease of from 500 to 1,50o
population in it's rural districts and
usually corresponding increase in the
pOpulatlOn OF It's LOWnS.
The past five years in the greater
1 portion of the state have been years
Of unusual prosperity and the farmers.
grown rich, have moved to town in
large numbers. There has been a
shifting of population from farm to
town but. according to the English
s%o of
when: there has been an abundance
Of rainfall, the birth rate has acceler-
ated hence the question arises what
has become of this natural increase
in Iowa?"
It is problem for careful thought.
The Des Moines Capital says that the
loss is due to the fact that Iowa has
not advertised that the real estate
dealers Of the north and west have
advertised their lands so extensively
as to drain the population from Iowa.
The Capital has published more
northern land advertisements than any
other Iowa daily hence the Capital
ought to know, but this explanation
is not altogether satisfying.
A man who drives thru the rural
districts Of Iowa every working day Of
the year and another man whose BUSH
hundreds of Iowa farmers, discussing
this subject independent Of one anoth-
err, each gave as their explanation that
the loss of rural population is due d.
rectly to the passing Of the hired man.
Prosperity made work for the farm
hand In town and he would not work
longer on the farm. The scarcity OF
farm labor forced the four horse drag
and the double gang plow. There are
1904 quarter section farms in the aver
age Iowa county. The loss of one hir-
account for decrease of 1000 in the
rural population Of each county and
this is about what has happened with
In the personal observation of these
tive men.
The babies have come in greater
numbers along with good crops and
prosperity. So far the statistician can
bs vindicated. But the same prosper
ity that brought the babies sent the
retired farmer to town and the hired
man to the factory cities, hence the
four horne drag, the double gang pillow
andsa decrease in rural population.

A PICTURE OF SHAW.
Try Walter Wellman.l


With Mr.. Shaw it is different. He Is
so crazy to be president, so eager to
catch at every straw that may help
his prospects, that he saw fine oppor-
tunity in this business. He would
seize it; he would pose as the outra ged
and indignant friend of protection and
the protectees, even at the risk OF in
CURING the displeasure of his chief IN
the White House. Mr.. Sflaw's notion is
that If he can contrive to make the
beneficiaries of protection realize mat
here in Washington he is their friend;
that he IS so devoted to their interests
that he is willing to take all sorts OF
risks in their behalf, they may be
grateful enough to turn In and use
their mighty power in pushing him
along the road to the White House.
He has been working on that line for
two or three years now, and he is at
least consistent. 1t remains to be seen
how we'll founded is his dependence
1pon the gratitude of the high-tariff
benefciaries.
OUT DOOR NOTES.

Sneaking of doors this is the season
for lovely smells. Thank Cod, that ne
nut a nose ON you. and lined IT win
sensitive tissue as he did the nostrlls
of the dog. deer and most Wild ami
mails. The last week in April ana the
first week in May are the show weeks
of nature in this latitude. The domes-
tic fruit trees as we'll as the WHO
shrubs are in flower. and the floral
pageant seems to be the very apoca-
lypse of nature. And such scents!
When YOU taste something good, you
wish YOU had a giraffe's neck. to enjoy
the pleasure longer in the transit. and
when the orchards scent the gale and
the breeze, you sigh for nose ike an
ant-eater's, and as sensitive as
hounds. We can i'll spare either OF
the five senses, least of all the sight
but the sense of smell ranks with the
rest. Indeed, agreeable odors please
more than flavors of taste. Test it
this way. strawberry is lovely on
the tongue-".doubtless God could
make a better fruit than the straw
berry. but doubtless God never did,
vet the nose gets a finer tribute from
the berry than does the tongue or eye.
The smell of it is infinitely more appe-
tizing and soul-teasing and enhancing
than the taste of 1T. 1t is vulgar to
eat it, but divine to smell it. 1t is ex-,
auisite to pick up a box, or a single
berry and admit its suble soul thro'
the avenues of the nostrils. And how
the contact roses your fingers. They
are enchanted fingers after handling
these gold-spotted red clover heads.
Indeed, the odor of Strawberries is in
toxicating and 1 am not sure If it is
not more ravishing and seductive than
the soul gushes of roses themselves.
Who would not like to have a per-
sonal ministry as fine as the service Of
tree in bloom or of rose bush at it's
charming peroration? There is crab
tree in Add. Whites grounds, that was

NO SENSATION In THE
VAN DEyOORST CASE
THE CASE OF THE STATE VS..
VAN DEVooRsT CONTINUED
TODAY, y 5"z.,s,'
NO STARTLING NEW EVIDENCE
BROUGHT IN BY THE STATE
STATE RESTS.

The case Of the state versus Art
Van DeVoorst was taken up in court
again this morning and proceeded till
1880 when the state rested.
Nothing of a sensational nature was
brought out by the state and the testi-
mony was along much the same lines
as that introduced yesterday after
noon.
The morning was taken up princi-
pally with recesses while the attor-
neys argued questions of law before
the court. The state rested at 10: SO
and Mr.. Stevens, counsel for the de-
Tense, addressed the jury for a few
minutes on the question of corpus
deficit upon which the defense seems
to hinge it's case, maintaining the
state has not proven that there was
life in the child at birth.
But one witness was introduced by
the defense at the morning session.
This witness was Doctor Matchan Of
this city who was questioned, in his
capacity as physician and surgeon,
relative to whether or not it was
possible to tell within three weeks
after the birth of child, if it be at
that time dead-whether or not it
had been born with life.
The doctor testified that it was not.
Here is where the case practically
hinges as the testimony so far shows
that the child was seen by no one
but the defendant until some length
of time after birth and even after it
had been buried in the we'll. 1t is
here where the corpus deficit" comes
in as under this, life has to be proven
before a conviction for the taking of
life may be had.
After the examination of this wit.
ness Mr.. Stevens asked for an ad-
journment until one o'clock at which
time he said that he had a motion to
argue.
Afternoon Session.
Court was reconvened this after
noon at one o'clock at which time the
counsel for the defense argued a mo-
ton for dismissal on the ground that
corpus deficit had not been estab
llshed and cited the decisions of SUI
preme and other courts in various
states and in similar cases.
The court denied the motion and the
prosecution reviewed the case before
the jury, arguing each point. This
first argument was of no great length
and the defense took up the argument
OF the case bearing strongly on the
corpus deficit point as argued az
grounds for dismissal of the case.
At the hour of going to press the
argument for the defense had not beer
finished.

DAGoEs HOLD UP 500 TRAIN.

Dissatisfied Dagoes Hold Up A 500
Train Near FIaxton-Get Out Their
Guns and Get Real Nasty About It.
Minot Optic: Because the section
foreman was determined that he
would separate them into squads and
send them to various points along the
500 road, a crew of sixty-eight Italian
laborers held up 500 passenger train
at F1axton, N. d., at 10 o'clock this
morning and at the point of revolvers.
announced that they would not allow
the train to pull out of the station
and also that they would tear up the
track unless they were granted their
rights.
Conductor Shaw was in charge of
the passenger, and after securing the
services of an interpreter, was able
to make a compromise with the labor
ers, whereby they should all work to-
gether. To this end, Roadmaster Pat
rick Russell of this city was sent to
Flaxton this afternoon to take charge
of the crew. This train is scheduled
to arrive in Minot at 1880 noon, but
did not arrive today until 1870.
For thirty minutes, the passengers
on the train did not know whether
they would ever reach their destina-
ton or not, and at times 1t looked
rather gloomy. The Italians, unable
to speak the English language, nearly
drove some of the passengers frantic
by the manner in which they shouted
and fourished their guns. The entire
crew boarded the train as soon as 1t
had stopped at the depot and going
through the coaches announced their
Intentions In their native tongue.
According to a local 500. Official
who happened to be on the train, the
members Of the section crews have
not been on the best OF terms with
the section boss at that point and they
were becoming angry and wanted to
quit work unles they got a new fore
mar. The trouble, however. Is settled
now, In the opinion OF one Of the 500
officials as 1t Is believed that Mr.. Rus
sell will be able to handle the labor-
ars in satisfactory manner.

The Minot Optic Has 1t As a Settled
Fact That Within Another Year

The Minot Optic Has It As a SETTLED
Fact That Within Another Yea,
Such Will Be Possible.
The 500 will be in Minot, N. D., by
August LIST next summer. This infor
nation comes from an absolutely reli
able source and may be accepted as
authoritative.
The 500 is extending it's line from
Underwood north this season a dis
lance OF eighteen miles, and next sea-
son will see the line completed and in
full operation to Minot. This extern
ton is continuation of the Bismarck,
Washburn and Great Falls railway.
which the 500 purchased of Senator
Washburn some two years ago. and it
was surmised then that the road had
been taken over for the purpose of ex-
tending it to Minot and giving the
people of North Dakota the cross state
line for which they have been praying
for years.
Inc new line will proceed a trifle
west OF north from this seasons termi-
NUS which will be reached by August
LIST. 1t will thread a rich country and
AFFORD relief to a large agricultural
area, besides providing a more direct
line to Bismarck for very many peo-
pie in North Dakota.
at present the task of reaching
Bismarck for people living in large
section of the state is a prodigious
one necessitating long, roundabout
journeys over the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern to jamestown or
over another line of the 500 to Valley
City before a connection can be made
for the capital city.
