BOYS And GIRLS CLUB
Cap Miller of Keokuk County Will
Speak Here Tomorrow.

If the boys and girls of Mahaska
county are once organized into clubs
for the study of agriculture and home
topics they will make the thing go.
Once the clubs are started, the boys
iand girls will do the rest, according
Ito County Superintendent Cap Miller,
of Keokuk county, who has successs
fully organized two fiourishing clubs
aef that sort.
Mr.. Miller says: "The assistance of
the Farmers Institute in organizing
the young folks in the clubs and in
directing an outline of the work to
be accomplished will be a good thing.
Push it along. Get the boys started,
and they will make the thing go. The
Institute will undoubtedly see a
great advantage to itself in the clubs,
for nothing can be Of more benefit
than to get the boys and girls inter
ested in the farm and the home. That
is the work the agricultural club and
the Girls Home Club will do.
"At present we have county or
ganization and sixteen township or
ganizatios. The boys and girls run
things along the prescribed course,
but much as they choose and are ev-
erywhere giving the work much in
terest and enthusiasm.
"All spring and summer the boys
and girls have been planting seeds,
watching plants and caring for them
as outlined in the work of the clubs.
They wrote about the results of their
studies and the products of this work
were taken TO the school district, the
township and finally the county school
fair. These papers on the growth of
the plant took much the same place
upon the program as do the declama-

from f. p. Mays, for many years dis
trict attorney for the Oregon district,
with a wornan, whom he introduced as
Mrs. E. A. L. Watson, a widow and a
citizen of oregon, who had invested
something over $4,000 in IL homesteads
after the entrymen had received their
certificates.
Unable to Meet Notes. w
The woman had omtained the greater
part of this money by mortgaging other
lands secured by notes coming due, and
could not meet these notes until she
had received patents for the homesteads.
Puter said it would be several months
before the cases would be reached in the
regular order, and he wanted the SEN
ator to aid him in getting them advanced
for early consideration.
Il had not, of course, the slightest sus-
picion," said Senator Mitchell, that
there was anything wrong about the
homestead entries, and l told Puter l
would ascertain the status of the case. -
The senator recalled that in the last
three years he had been overwhelmed
with letters from Oregon requesting him
to ascertain the status of entries and
seeking his aid in getting the considera-
ton of cases expected in the general
land Office. ..
Responds to Requests.
He had invariably responded to these
requests without making any charge
or accepting any compensation, and so
long as remain one Of Oregon's senators
l shall continue to do these things for
my constituents, even at the risk of
100 indictments. have been declared
by unproven charges TO be unworthy to
remain longer as your associate, and,
being conscious of my innocence of all
wrong, l have deemed it my duty that
l should thus publicly deny charges l
know to be absolutely false, and to ex-
plain publicly the acts upon my part
which l admit as badges of crime"
Senators Believe Him Innocent
Immediately on Senator Mitchell's
arrival in the senate chamber he was
surrounded by other senator's who shook
his hand warmly and gave him assur-
ance of confidence in his innocence. His
statement consumed about three-quar-
ters of an hour. Toward the close his
voice was broken by sobs and he as
compelled to frequently dry his eyes
with his handkerchief. Many other SEN
ators were visibly affected. When the
senator concluded there was a renewal
of handshaking and assurances of con-
fidence on the part of senators, while
it was necessary for the presiding Off
Ger to use the gavel to suppress ap-
plause in the galleries.

with the Oregon land frauds.
At the outset, the senator declared the
charges made against him, if true, unfit
ted him to occupy his seat in the senate.
He then detailed the charges and said:
Il assert, in the most positive and un-

tracks. The, two lines, the Central
and the Burlington, are practically on
the same level at this point and the
transfer of the freight will be more
easily accomplished here than at any
other place in the city. The. connec-
ton is to be made as soon as the work
can be completed. The Central is
now compelled to permit the Rock
Island to handle the transfer and the
cost is about two dollars and fifty
cents per car.
An order has been issued for sur
vey OF the tracks to be made and
plans made Immediately for the plac-
ing Of a permanent transfer or connec-
tions between the Central and the Bur
lfngton- at the point where the tenn
,1Oiary transfer is now being placed.
-,tia9s will be done as soon as possible
hhd tthe work will be accomplished
following the receipt of the plans.
1.-THE arrangement with the Burling-
ton company will give the Central the
long desired connection with Des
MoieS and while not as direct as had
been desired, it will suffice for the
present. The freight from the east
via Peoria will be handled to Des
Moines, and there will also be quite
an amount from the north. On the
other hand the agreement will permit
the Central to handle freight originat-
ing in Des Moines for the north and
the east in away that has not before
been possible. The Central manage
ment seems to mean business by its
recent move and the present activity
in this city is no uncertain indication
of the disposition Of the road. A
statement was heard some time ago
TO the effect that the Central would
get into Des Moines if they had to
build in. The building of another line
into the state capital may possibly
be the outcome of the present contro-
versy and action.
The new arrangements will give the
Oskaloosa station considerable addi-
tional business in the way of trans
ferring of freight, and the south yards
will come to have significance that
has never before been attached to
them.

for his words to the sherifrs Of Windsor
county, who appealed TO him to grant
a reprieve to Mary Rogers, declaring
that st reflected no credit on him. j"
We are unable to agree with the con
temporary in the matter On the con
trary, the action Of the Governor in q
delicate situation appears to us to have
been just what was demanded. Here
was 4 body Of men, public officials
who had taken the oath to execute
the laws of the state, men who for the
most part succeeded to the office when
it was known that there was person
in The state prison under sentence Of
death thatsentence to be carried out dur.
ing the term Of their Office. 1t must be
inferred that they fully knew the situa-
ton before they accepted the Office of
sheriff or deputy sheriff. Now public
officials are chosen to carry out, not
nullify, the laws of this system Of
government Of ours. These sheriffs of
Windsor county were bounden to do as
the courts directed, and it may be they

the executive refused to grant the stay
Of sentence. But under the conditions It
was entirely without their province to
petition that the reprievc should be

on persons other than those whose duty
it is to see that the laws are faithfully
executed. OF course, had It come to the
notice of any man, be he sheriff or pros

it would have been entirely commend
able in him TO ask for reprieye. But
in this particular case the reported con-

about the condemned woman, was not
secured by sheriff or deputy sheriff.
It was gained by an attroney who had
interested himself in the woman's well

entirely proper and it was the only
thing that carried weight with the gov

China ceded to Russia the now his

The loss OF this citadel to Russia was
almost like the death Of a fayorite
