Throughout the entire state express
sions of deepest sorrow came with the
announcement of the death last We'd
nesday of Joseph S. Trigg, editor Of
the Iowa State Register and Farmer
and of the Farm. Orchard and Garden
departments of hundreds of newspapers
throughout the middle west, includ-
ing the Public Opinion. Several
weeks ago he broke down under the
severe strain of overwork with stroke
of paralysis, gradually failing until
the end came peacefully at the home
of his son in Rockford, Iowa, where
for q good s4lny years he owned and
edited the Rockford Register. Few
men in Iowa were better known OF
more highly esteemed. He was q fire.
quent visitor to farm institutes thru
out the state, and his weekly letters
were eagerly read in hundreds OF
thousands of homes. He was phil
osopher, though thoroughly practical,
a genius :in many ways, a man OF
strong and powerful intellect. and his
loss to the state is a grevious one.
He was laid to rest at Rockford on
Friday.

of the trusts which fall within the

would this be wholly ineffective, but
the diversion of our efforts in such a
direction would mean the abandon

away with these evils. The only
relation of the tariff to big cor
porations as q whole is that the tariff
makes manufacturers profitable, and
the tariff remedy proposed would be
in effect simply to make manufacturers
Improbable. Our aim should not be
by unwise tariff changes to give
foreign products the advantage over
domestic products, but by proper re-
gulation to give domestic competition
fair chance; and this end cannot
be reached by any tariff change which
would affect unfavorably all domestic
competitors, good and bad alike.

The Jack Hoeffler Show.

The Jack Hoeffier Stock Comply,
which plays fair week at the opera
house, is made up of some of the
best known men and women of the
profession obtainable for this style of
theatricals, prominent among them
being Lafayette Mckee, Emil Jerome,
Harry Askara, AL Fordyce, George
Girard, Mabel Griffith, Lucille
Lalliear, Josephine Vtalora and
Eleanor Burns The company has
the reputation of being the best or
ganization of it's kind now playing
the central states, in fact the best that
has been seen in this section during
the past five or six years, or since
the days of the King Dramatic Com
pany, which was conceded to have
been the best popular priced company
ever seen in the United States. Be-
tween the two companies there
is one noticeable difference, however,
one dismal failure and the other a
brought to such point of perfection
that rarely was the weeks receipts
sufficient to pay expenses, notwith-
standing the fact that the theatres
were taxed to the utmost i'll nearly
every tOWH Jile CollpdnH pldycu. Al
contrast, the Hoeffier show, while
presenting the maximum of talent, is
still on speaking terms with the profit
side of the ledger. Mr.. Hoeffier is
known in the theatrical profession as
one of the best organizers in the bust
ness. His intimate acquaintance with
the larger part of the actor fraternity,
his keen insight into the value of
plays for stock purposes, coupled with
a knack of getting his moneys worth
in all the smaller details, has enabled
him to give the patrons of the popular
priced plays more for their money
than any other manager up TO the
present time.

OLD SETTLERS ENJOY BLUFFToN PICNIC
Large Crowd Gathers At Brittendall's Park
and Enjoy Immensely the Festivities Of
the Day.

The old settlers picnic at Button
last Thursday was a great success in
every way. A large crowd was present
from the northern part of the county
and quite a number went up from
DEBORAH, and everyone who was there
is enthusiastic in his praise of the
cordial and hospitable welcome given
them by the Button people. The
picnic was held in the beautiful park
on the farm of CIV. Brittendall, who
has one of the prettiest natural parks
in Iowa and keeps it up in good shape.
To him and the O'Brien brotheIs
much of the credit for the success of the
undertaking is due. They worked hard
to make it a success, and did so. The
program was a pleasing one. The
principal address was made by Capt.
w. s. Hart of Waukon, an orator of
state wide reputation, and speeches
were also made by Rev. Hallett and
DR.. Whitbeck of Burr Oak, while Dan
Koran told some "reminiscences which
almost turned the crowd inside out
with laughter. Splendid musical
selections were given by the Burr
Oak male quartette and the Misses
Taylor all of which made up an inter
esting program. Sports of all kinds
were enjoyed, and the ladies served
coffee free to all at the basket picnic
dinner. 1t was an occasion of much
pleasure for all who partici pated, and
the hospitality of the people of Bluff
ton was greatly enjoyed by all who
attended.

1t is peculiar condition and yet an
undisputed fact that in northwest Iowa
many of the farmers were for Cum
MINIS, while in the southern half OF
the state the farmers are voting fol-
Perkins. Another peculiar condition
is that Perkins carried only three
counties in his congressional district,
and Cummins will be in about the
same fix in his district.

Out of total loss Of over three hun

about one-sixth of it was suffered by
Jews

you any arguments to support our ap-
peal.
We do not want to dictate to you how
your donations shall be solicited, whether
through committees appointed by you or
otherwise. You may send your contribu-

purpose of importing this earth and the
importations of it are very heavy. The
earth is sold at different prices. Earth
from some site renowned in history
brings higher price than that from or
dinary places. The aim and desire of the
pious Jew is to get earth from the site Of
the destroyed temple, and the distance
the earth is from the temple regulates the
price.
When our tariff laws went into effect
there was tariff imposed on certain
kinds Of clays and earths. The custom
house officials held up much of the earth
from Jerusalem for a long time, as they
did not know whether duty should be
charged on it. After long consideration
it was decided that the earth should be
admitted duty free, as we have no Jeru
salem in this country to protect.

Independent Order
Birth Abraham

Over 700 delegates, representing more
than 300 lodges with an aggregate men,
bership of $4,000, attended the twentieth
annual convention of the Independent
Order B 'rith Abraham, held on May 9th,
7th and Sth, at Tammany hall. The re-
port Of the grand master, Mr.. Max Stern,
showed an increase in membership OF
nearly 1000. The general fund re-
ceipts amounted during the year to $24,-
211O2, and the expenditures left bal
ance of 81 ,89736. 1t decided to con-
tribute $4,000 per year from it's relief
fund to the Jewish Consumptives' Relief
Society of this city.
The former grand officers were re-
elected as follows: Herman Herschko-
witz, past grand master; Max Stern,
grand master; Max Schwartz, first dep
uty grand master H. Gross, elected sec
ond deputy grand master; Jacob Schoen,
grand secretary Sam D. Reich, grand
treasurer A tie vote has deferred the
election Of grand messenger. The entire
executive committee has been reelected.
Will the convention did achieve some
practical results, the unruly aspect Of the
sessions was sorely disappointing, though

with remarkable effort, to keep the all

bounds of order

quite out Of the question. The peasants
will be pacifed by the solution Of the
land question, and as they will be against
self-government for the frontier prov
inces, so also, for instance, will they vote
against the emancipation Of the Jews.
The government has no mandate to re-
peal the Jew laws against the will of the
majority of the people. Personally, l
feel every sympathy with the Jews, and
wish to see them perfectly free, but the
Jews themselves are to be blamed for not
being emancipated at the present mo-
ment They head the revolution in every
part Of the country.
Answering the correspondent s objec-
ton that that was very natural, the count
remarked:
Yes, in theory; it would be all very
well if we were living in the moon. But
at present the government can do moth
ing against the will of the people in the
Jewish question. The masses would say
that the Jews had gained their freedom
by numbering ministers and governors,

A Reuter- telegram from Lodz on Tues
day stated:
The primary duma elections took place
to-day. Five hundred factories were
closed and the workmen took an active
part in the proceedings. Much anger
was expressed with the Jews, who, after
advising all to boycott the Duma, have
now changed front and are using every
means to defeat the Polish candidates.
Owing to the display of military force,
however, there have been no disturb

Union Of Hebrew Congregations
to the Jews Of United States

The following appeal has been issued
by the Union Of American Hebrew Con-
gregations:
We INDUCED in the hope that the gen
erous contributions given by all classes of
people for the relief of those who suf-
fered by the great calamity in San Fran
cisco, would be sufficient to relieve their
wants. That you have done your duty
thus far can not be questioned. 1t is
true that the hungry have been fed, and
the naked have been clothed for the time
being, but the future is fraught with so
much distress and suffering that we can
not ignore the cry for help that has come
from Rabbis Voorsanger and Nieto
speaking for the Jews of San Francisco,
our suffering co-religionists. The infor-
nation that has come to us as to the
losses may be summarized as follows:
TOTALLY DESTROYED.
Russ street synagogue.
Temple Emanuel, on Sutter street.
New Geary street temple.
b mai B B'rith hall and library OF
$1,000 volumes.
Headquarters of the Eureka Society in
O'Farrel street.
Emanuel Sisterhood's s school buildings
and clinic, in Folsom street.
The plants 6f the three Jewish news
papers.
She 'erith Israel Temple and nearly
every other Jewish institution which has
not been totally wrecked has suffered
loss.
In the so-called EMISSION district
where the masses of the Jewish people
lived, every building is gone.
"The sources of Jewish charities have
dried up for the time being
"Thirty thousand Jews are homeless.
Those who have not lost their homes
have been rendered poor by the destruc
ton of their business or the loss of en-
p!oyment. -
