New Naturalization Laws.


The federal government, after Sept.
q, will have exclusive supervision OF
the naturalization Of aliens. This has
been communicated to Governor Cum
minis at the capitol by the department
Of commerce and labor OF the presi.
dents cabinet After the date men
toned the blanks, etc, used In the
making of foreigners into citizens will
be secured by the local officials from
the general government, and some
system will attend the naturalization
business, heretofore carried on In
rather a hit and miss fashion. Incl
dentally. under the new law the super
Tor courts OF the state can no longer
issue naturalization papers and make
immigrants into citizens. This dis
elimination arises through the inabili'
Of the superior courts to come under
the definition of those tribunals EN-.

Taft to Visit Des Moines.

Secretary Taft intends to make an
inspection trip to the principal west.
ern army posts. sometime this fall and
during this trip will inspect TT. Des
Moines. He will be accompanied by
Gen. J. Franklin Bell. chief Of STAFF.
The dates Of the trip have not get
been announced. II was given out
some time ago that Secretary Taft
would probably visit Des Moines Ia
the course Of his campaign In the west
this year, but until now It has not
been known he and General Bell con-
templated an important inspection
trip. Secretary Taft desires personal
information relative to the posts that
will be discussed In congress next
winter, with especial reference to
those posts that are under consIdera-
ton for brigade posts. There Is no
doubt but that his coming visit to Fort
Des Molnes with General Bell will
have a large bearing on the question
whether that fort Is TO be made a
brigade post. There Is no question
Secretary Taft has not been favorable
to making Fort Des Moines brigade
post, but his coming visit may modify
his impressions and aid Captain Hull
In his purpose Of getting Fort Des
Moines enlarged.

Live Stock increases in Value.


There are nearly 100000 more cat.
tie, horses, sheep and hogs In Iowa
this year than last year, and they are
worth nearly 100000 more than

the state, which has just completed
the live stock assessment for 1906.
The number OF horses is less but
the average value Is greater and the

StOCk wen COMMISSION rIOuScs
Many OF the prominent cattle rails
ers of the state are subscribing to the
stock of the new Cooperative Live
Stock Commission company which
has recently been organized by the
cattle and stock men Of the middle
west This is the organization In
which the Corn Belt Meat Producers
and the American Live Stock associa.
ton were interested In promoting
and It is the outgrowth Of the com.
bination of the big commission firms
mt the larger stock yards markets
and the stiff advance In commissions.
The company has recently bought
out two of the older and well estab.
lished commission firms, one in Chi.
cago and one In Kansas City, and ex.
pect to open up for business on Sept.
/. A. L. Ames of Buckingham, the
president Of the Corn Belt Meat Pro
ducers' association, has been made
president and manager OF this new
commission firm and will have his
headquarters In Chicago.
The stock Is being sold at $40 per
share and each purchaser Is limited
to fifty shares. so that not more than
$500 worth Of stock will be owned BY
one man and there will be no such
thing as majority stockholders. The
western men are subscribing for the
Kansas City house. The $4,000 issue
is for the Chicago house alone.

!nvestIaate Insurance AGENTS.

Investigate Insurance Agents.
Des Moines.-For the first time a
hearing has been held In the office OF
the auditor OF state under that section
of the laws of the Thirtieth general
assembly which gives the auditor
power to revoke the certificates OF in
surance agents.
Charles A. Benkert and George II.
Benkert are the agents in question,
representing the American Life OF
liam Il. Herman and Charles l.. Bue-
low, who live near Watkins, are the
compliments.
A relative OF Herman, living near
Van Horne, has caused the arrest OF
he Benkerts In Benton county, out
If charges akin to those presented to
Auditor of State Carroll.
1t Is claimed by the persons COM
planning to the auditor and asking
hat the certificates OF authority
20 solicit life insurance be taken from
he agents referred to, that they did
not receive from the agents the poll
sies which they bought from them.
There seems to be a decided diverg-
ence OF statement as between the
agnts and the complainants as to what
kind of policy was sold The latter
claim that they bought ten year en-
aowment; the latter claim to have
sold n different policy. The hinge
seems to be the words paid up pol
Icy" The purchasers seem to have
understood from the expression. ap-
piled to the policy written for them.
that at the end OF ten years they
would receive $4,000 In cash, the
agents claim to have sold policy
which at the end of ten years, would
amount TO a paid IN policy Of $1,000,
instead OF $1,000 In cash.
The American Life officers cooper
ated with the auditor OF state in the
hearing In order to ascertain the
facts. The company would dismiss
the agents II the complaints were es-
tablished. OF course, and the officers
are lending the state every agency
to get at the facts.

How to Stop Chimney Fire.

Here IS a simple and easy way
to stop a chimney fire, used by
the fire department OF the city of
Appleton:
The quickest, surest, neatest,
easiest and most effective way to
stop a chimney FIRE. is to take d
wet cloth and wind it around the
stove pipe just above the stove.
The moisture from the wet cloth
forms a cloud OF steam inside the
pipe which raises and smothers
the FIRE in the chimney almost at
once This method has proven
effective in the case of a chimney
fire so fierce that the stove pipe
all the way from the stove to the
chimney was led hot, and has
never been known to fail. The
scheme was worked out by Fire
Chief George ?. MCCLELLAN and
Capt. John Conroy of the No.
company from a pointer received
In casual conversation, and is
now in used in the Appleton fire
department TO the exclusion of
all other methods. The chief
beauty of the plan is its simplicity
and the ease with which it can be
used by anyone, Simply saturate
a large cloth with water. wind it
around the stove pipe at any point
where it is hottie hotter the
better-and the steam generated
inside the pipe will do the rest

Here is something in the course of natural phenomena that will interest and instruct the little folk if they look into it curiously: Into q tumDler half full of water dissolve just as much common table salt as can be held in solution. Let it stand for few days and see how the salt creeps out of the water, up the inside of the glass and down the outsida-just like thing of life trying to escape from it's environ ment And when all the salt is ap- parently out of prison the water re- mains as salty as before!

Ho,y to Use Brains,

A head man in a manufactory was watching a drayman tugging at heavy case one day. The drayman's face was red, and the muscles of his neck were bulging. The overseer, says a writer in the Baltimore Sun, thought it was the right moment to offer prac tical assistance.
 'Wait minute there,' he said. Let me show you how easy it is when you use little brain with your muscle" And he grabbed hook, stuck 1t into the case, gave yank and went sprawl ing into the gutter under the dray. He got up, looked at the hook and said. "Confound it, the handle comes offw

How Little Savings Roll Up.

If a parent deposits $1 at the birth of the child and adds at each succeeding anniversary of the birthday a number of dollars equal to the number of years, the amount by the time the son ordaugh- ter is twenty-onc years old, computed at per cent interest, compounded semi annually, will equal $500. This would be a substantial nest egg to begin life with. The man who deposits only 9 cents a week, drawing per cent, compound ed semiannually, will have to his cred 1t at the end of five years $73, at the end of ten years $1G2, at the end of twenty years $4O3 and at the end of forty years $1 ,294. The man who saves $5 a week at this rate would be worth at the end of forty years the snug for tune of $25, Weekly.

Origin of "StatiOner."

According to Pierre de Blois, the ti- tie "statiOner" was applied to one class of bookseller long before the seven teenth century, though that may have been the period when it came to refer to any seller of books. He dstin- guisheS between the librarii and the stationarii, who had both become so numerous in Paris in 1259 that cer- tain regulations had to be made for their control. The former were agents for the sale and loan of manuscripts, a large suln of money being deposited when q manuscript was lent, while the latter, allowed to have stations or stalls in the markets, were sellers and cop iers of manuscripts. At the time he wrote there were twenty-nine brokers and stationcrs in Paris, not very dan gerOus nuE.5ar, one would think, con sidering that Paris from the twelfth to the fifteenth century was considered the chief seat of learning.-London Staphnrd

Eased His Coincidence.

In an ordinary restaurant, according to the London Chronicle q waiter was surprised at being asked one Friday with Ireland's inimitabIe smile for "diviled whale" "Is it flleted shark that ye have, thin?" pursued the Irish man on being refused this delicacy. Again receiving reply in the negative, he tried once more. "Thin ye can bring me some roasted porpoise," he said. The waiter showed signs of becoming restive, and Paddy sank back i'll his seat and heaved a sigh of co%entment. 'I'll take some roast beef and vegeta- bles," he said cheerfully, and sure yell not be for saying that 1 didn't ask ye for fish"

So long as it i:s continued the wound will not heal elraw d long breath and hold it until it warns and sootiles every air cell. and benefit will soon be received from this process.
