HOW PETER WENT BACK.

Sioux City IrlDune.1
Peter Reard, of Sioux City, will leave
for Germanv Monday to visit his old
home in Luxembourg, and will tell his
friends how he came to Sioux City less
than twenty years ago, green"
young German emigrant, who had
never seen garden or a farm. and
made more than s150,OOO. He will be
gone three months, when he will re-
turn to his garden in Sioux City.
Because the people of Sioux City do
not have their own gardens, and be-
cause the prosperous German gardener
has learned to produce the most pos
sible from the soil, he has been enabled
to save and make a fortune. He is one
of a few men in Sioux City who have
made that amount of money and kept
it without loss year in and year out.
He has sold his garden truck to the
consumers of Sioux City. and has had
something to sell summer and winter
from the earliest lettuce and radishes
on the market. to the horseradish for
the winter breakfast of bacon and eggs
He has had the first new potatoes in
the spring and the earliest and finest
turnips in the fall. and because the back
yards of Sioux City are allowed to grow
houses in Greenville which pay him a
monthly rental of $500.
Because the Sioux City business man
is too busy to hoe in the garden after
office hours and his boys are too much
interested in the old swimming hole
and the amateur base ball team to

IACEYs DANGER.

Repeated reports from the First,
Eighth and Sixth congressional dis
tricts TO the effect that standpatters in
those districts declare their intention
to oppose Cummins in event of his
nomination have set politicians specu-
continuation OF the anti-cummins fight,
upon the prospects of republican cam
didates for congress in the districts
referred to. In each Of these districts
the candidate is bitterly opposed to
Governor Cummins and the progressive
movement, and as the preliminary
campaign has developed, wherever
popular expression has been permitted,
the progressive sentiment is strong.
Feeling has run high In this contest,
and in the nature of things a standpat
program that includes an election fight
against the progressive candidate. for

reprisalsi. Persistence in the policy
that has marked the standpat CAM
paign would appear from the election
returns dangerous to the congressional
candidates and to the integrity Of q

Politicians consider it a serious pro-
position in both the Sixth and First
congressional districts, as anyone can
figure out from an examination of the
vote for congressman in those districts.
On the face of the returns the vote
would indicate that in the Eighth dis

this is questioned by persons familiar

the three districts. and it will be seen
that in off years the vote is very much

PROSPEROUS SEASON
TTerrill Tribune.1

Tim Stanton has curiosity in the
way of a. four-legged chicken, which
was Matched a few days ago. The
chick is lively and bids fair to grow to
maturity. If Tim could only only sue
coed in starting a strain Of chickens
with four drumsticks he would become
famous and receive resolutions of graft
quartet drumsticks would be mighty
peacemaker in family of four, but if
a flock of quadruped fowls should get
into al neighbours garden, they would
very likely be the cause of some very
harsh words, if not actual bloodshed.

It is pointed out that in 1902 the plu-
rality was very small in the First
and Sixth districts, and was carried up
In 1904 largely by the fact that Roose-
Welt was the candidate for president.
This has led those familiar with res
ervation conditions to predict trouble.
1t is claimed that the Wapello situation
alone is enough to wipe out the plu-.
rality for Lacey. These three districts
are the only ones in the state where
here is reported to be to any great ex-
tent open declarations on the part of
the standpatters that they will not
support the state ticket If Cummins is
nominated for governor.
Mr.. Blythe has not failed in the res
ervation. The nominees for congress
are such as he has chosen or would
choose. He has delivered the goods
this year as before. With this he should
rest content. If he orders a general
movement against Cummins as the
nominee OF the convention, his sattel-
ties and henchmen can scarcely COM
plain If the voters in their districts re-
sent and repudiate Mr.. Blythe's inter-
ference. Harmony must chord with
the decision of the state republican
convention, and should Mr.. Blythe elect
to create a rift within the lutte, neith-
er he nor his need be surprised If it's

trial processes has been a mar9worthy
 fact for a good while. For the lasl
 30 years at least our manufacturers in every line of production have rscOg-
 nized the truest economy i'll keeping abreast with the very latest improve ments in mechanism. The old how
 ever good, has at once given place to something better, and the expense of substitution has in practice been
 quickly recouped by the reater eff fectiveness in quantity and quality If product, with frequent reduction of labor cost per piece The policy i'll other countries, has been on the other and, that of retaining the locomotive, the engine, machine or what not as
 long as it would run with the help of tinkering. It is this, with the manu-
 facture of duplicate parts to save time and labor in making repairs when ne- | cessary which has contributed so enormously to give our manufactur- ing methods the ascendeney which they have acquired. It is only just to say however, that foreign manufac- turers have begun to profit by our ex-
 example, in this way, as they have in
 many others, though it will be good
 while before It will become an indis-
 pensible feature of the system.
 The great American scrap heap, then, is the mould on which the ban ner of our industrial greatness has been planted. The Pennsylvania
 Road in making such an apparent sac- | rifice pays homage to most impor- tantprinciple, and confirms confidence I in that sagacity which has admittedly guided its management in the past. To carry as many tons as possible with the least expense of traction and | maintenance is the ideal That can | only be achieved by the biggest, mast powerful locomotives, the most capa- l cious cars in ratio to weight and strength, heavy metalled tracks and the most solid roadbeds. When this
 betterment shall have become common, railroads will pay bigger dividends on lower rates. The sense of true econ
 omy finds in the continually growing scrap heap one of the most striking factors to this end.-Newark News.

MARRIED THE WRONG MEN.

Instances from Austria and France
 Where Women Wed Their Lovers
 Doubles.
 A strange case of matrimonial fraud
 has lately occurred at Vienna. A wo-
 man of the lower middle class married
 man whom she took to be a Herr Weiss, her fiance, returning after a
 years absence in America to make
 her his wife. In less than month he
 robbed her of her savings and then
 suddenly disappeared.
 A month later she received a letter from America regretting that the writ CT had been too i'll to return at the time agreed. but stating that he was about to sail, and that immediately on his arrival would fulHll his promise by
 leading her to the altar. The letter
 was signed Hermann Weiss,
 The poor woman was thrown into a
 sad condition of perplexity and appre- hension, and her worst fears were req lized when, on her correspondents ar rival, she recognized that she had been imposed upon by a ealgous imposter
 whose resemblance to the real simon pure was marvelously striking. It sub sequentiy transpired that the genuine Herman Weiss had, while in America, foregathered with his double, who had ascertalned sufficient of the former s history and prospects to enable him to carry out with success his base scheme of deception and heartles robbery. TD |. Ir.a. (
 Marseilles, was in hiding from the po- lice, who held a warrant for his arrest on serious charge, he managed ito communicate with an acquaintance, one Leriot, who in every respect was his exact double, and conjured him on the strength of their old friendship to promise that, should any misfortune
 befall him, he would, by impersonating him--as easy enough task by reason of the striking resemblance existing be- tween them--keep from the young wo- man to whom he was engaged the
 knowledge of her lovers shame, L4erlot
 gave his promise, which sat but lightly on his conscience, as one ito be kept or
 broken as whim might direct,
 However, when B0nnat day or two latter fell into the hands of justice,
 Leriot sought out the young woman,
 of whom he had no previous knowledge with the result that his susceptible heart was so touched that he entered
 into the fulflllment of his promise with surprising zeal. So well, indeed, did he
 enact the role of Bonnat that he in a short while espoused the latters fan cee. The couple led life of complete happiness, which was in nowise dimmed when some years later, on the convict's release, the wife first dis
 covered the fraud of which she had been the victim.-Tid-Bits

of the escaping smoke. and passed it on to the aHartment and the first practical contravance of any kind with down draught.
 The era which followed was one in which ingenious persons took to invent l ing improved stoves as ten years ago they were inventhng bicycles and to-day are struggling with automobiles The change from wood to soft coal and then, at the lbeginningk of the 18th century from soft coal td hard brought out a | host of devices which have finally re- { duced themselves to the half dozen types of modern stove.
 l Among others we're schemes for pass | ing the hot gasesI from the fire back and forth under the floor and warming the room from that. One ingenious Frenchman had a revolving grate which, with the chimney in the parti- | ton between the 1.-two rooms, could be | turned so as to heat either one. Thus the inventors fireE as he shifted from chamber to studN followed him back and forth like a dPg.
 | Franklin bimself a year or two before l the Revolution took up problem which he was apparently the first man to attack, but which has not even yet been satisfactorily solved. The trouble with all our stoves is that the fresh | coal has to be put on top, where it blankets the fire and distills up the chimney without burning, instead of underneath, as it should be. l There is now upon the market a | furnace which works on this latter principle, the fuel being pushed in un- derneath the fire by piston worked by lever. To accomplish this highly de- sirable result there are but two other possible devices, with both these Franklin expeflmented.
 While he was in France he used a grate for open fires of soft coal, in which the bars surrounded the fire above and below and formed a sort of blanket,
 The whole thing was mounted like a searchlight, so that the philosopher could turn it flat side up to heat his tea; or as he ste negotiating treaties could point it at the cold place in his back.
 Franklin's other device was still more radical. He ran his fire continually up side down, The fuel and the air were supplied above, the draught was down. ward through the fire, the burning coal was at the bottom and the flame streamed out below Nothing therefore could go up the chimney unburned.
 The single limitation of the device is well stated in the inventors own words.
 "* the studious man who is much in his chamber and has pleasure in managing his own fire will soon find l this machine most comfortable and | delightful. As others who leave their fires to the care of ignorant servants do not recommend 1t. They will with difficulty acquire the knowledge neces- sary, and will make frequent blunders that will fill your room with smoke It is therefore by no means fit for com mon use in families.
 The stove was probably the most nearly perfect apparatus ever contriv- ed for burning any. sort of fuel, but 1t required a fellow of the Royal Society to run it. Nevertheless, there is an idea here that somebody should be able \ to work out-New York Sun.

Without shelter and with our provisions finished our small party was in bad shape. Owing to the thin ness of the ice the snow could not be used in place of water, as it became tinged with salt. For five days we endured untold hardships of terrible nature, drifting about the bay and not l being able to see land.

THE RAILROAD SCRAP HEAP.

One of the most significant of recent statements is made by the Pennsylva- mia Railroad that it is about to send 12,000 cars to the scrap heap as fast as practicable, or else sell them to minor roads, where the highest efficiency is less needful. These will be replaced by cars made of pressed steel and of the most advanced type in perfection of equipment. Nor have there been lacking eloquent indications on the part of other big railroads of a similar lavish, yet really economical, policy toward perfecting equipment, both of fixed plant and rolling stock.
 Yet the importance of the overflow ing scrap heap in all American indus
