-ApneaIs From $40 Verdict.

A Hardin county jury last week
awarded Frank Ladd verdict of $40
in his $4,000 personal damage suit
against George Hastings. Ladd made
the claim that the defendant used
harsh language at his bedside while
he was sick with typhoid fever and
that a relapse was suffered, causing
three weeks delirium. Hastings
claims Ladd was renter on his farm
and that he merely advised him that
the crops needed attention. Hastings
refuses to pay the $40 and will appeal
to the supreme court.

Ring off the demand that any Iowa
republican should "get out of poll

Iowa are not fools. They know what
is the purpose of the so called pro-

ostracise and retire every man OF the

Most persons had forgotten that

Lemuel Bill Quigg of New York.
When he was defeated some years ago

was assumed that he was permanently

national platform. after It had been
agreed to, by surrept1tiously substitute
ing the word "isthmian" for the word
"Nlcarauguan" the world, especially
the Republican portion Of 1t, argued
that Lemuel Eli was a good man to
sschew and to forget. But Lemmy,
like Major Joe Bagstock, is "sly, sir,
dsvitsh sly; tough, sir, devilish
tough" He was not dead, SO it seems.
he was not even sleeping He was
simply biding his time, and, according
to the dispatches, his time came when
the New York state Republican COM
mittee met short time ago. Sud
denly, a. II the earth had yawned and
given up her dead. Lemuel Ell not only
stood in their midst, but rolled Govern

greater man than Qulgg, Higgins,

Especial Washington letter.

ISpecl0l washington Letter.
II ATELY have been on lecture
trip through Ohio, and surely it is
"a goodly state, with a bumper
crop this year. fractional fights
hmong the Buckeye Republicans are
as hot and bitter as the fight among
Hawkeye Republicans. 1t will be re-
membered that last year the decent Re
publicans Of that state, having grown
weary Of wearing the heavy yoke of
the Dick Co1-Herrick machine, rebelled
against bossism and, Joining hands
with the Democrats, elected Demo
cratic governor and an anti Republican
senate. At the same time the political
control Of most of the cities and towns
passed into the hands Of the Demo
Gratis, which gives them great advan-
tage In the impending contest. I'm
fortunately for all concerned the Demo
cratic governor died about two months
ago and was succeeded by the Repub-
hcan lieutenant governor. Some Of the
Democratic county conventions charge
that Boss Dick and his gang precipitat
ed the death of the Democratic gov
ernor by harasslng and bedeviling
him while he was sick. He did not
die, however, before he and the reform
legislature had placed upon the statute
books many admirable laws under
which Dick & Co. squirm and which
they are doing their level best to evade.
The election last year Of Demo
cratic governor and reform legisla-
ture was an open, even amazing, re-
pudiation Of Cox, Dick, Herrick ct al.
Just after that important and startling
event Boss Cox proclaimed by mega
phone that he had retired from politics
forever and day." as Uncle Joe Can
non would say, but nobody believed it.
When the legislature began to probe
into the rottenness Of the Cox regime,
and after one Cincinnati Republican
Official had dlsgorged about quarter
million Of swag. proceedings were
stopped, whereat decent folk were
wrathy, exceedingly wrathy.
At one time the Cox Dick Herrick

signed by the late Democratic governor
on the ground that he was non compos
mentis when he signed them, but as
the most Of them were reform bills the
reformers set up such roar that the
gang took to cover and have seeming
" abandoned that scheme, but the gang
dies hard. Dicks committee selected
Herrick-the repudiated ex-governor,
who was elected by 114.OO0 majority
in 1908 and defeated by $4,000 in 1905
to preside over the state convention and
Sound the keynote" which is a d.
rect slap In the face OF every reform
Republican in the state who helped to
defeat him. Another roar went up.
Whether it win induce the gang to set
Herrick aside remains to be seen.
They also talk Of not allowing any
Republican who bolted Herrtck last
year to participate In the Republican
primaries. It's a pretty fight as it
stands. Let US hope that 1t means
permanent split among Ohio Republic
ans.

Youth and Aua.

Lately there has been much talk, some
Of it idiotic, about the young man in
business and politics. Some fools have
placed the limit for mans usefulness at
thirty-f1ve. 1t would be interesting at
this 5uncture to have the candid opinion
Of ex-governor Richard Yates I'd Of
Illinois as to the old man in poll
tics. When the senatorial race-if race
1t may be called-was on, Uncle Joe
Cannon declared for Uncle Shelby NJ.
Cullom for senator. That race con-
Guided, as soon as Uncle Shelby peeped
into his mirror to see if he had his
physical resemblance to Abraham Lin
coin on straight he declared for Uncle
Joe for president. As Uncle Joe is
past threescore land ten and as Uncle
Shelby is verging on seventy 1t
would be difficult to convince young
Richard that man is past being active
at thlrtysfve.

The Republicans are having FIRST

nessee district, now and for many
years represented by Walter P. Brown
low, nephew Of the celebrated "Par-
son" Brownlow. w. P. B. has been
renominated, but ALI Taylor, brother
to Senator Bob. has got himself
some sort of Republican nomination
and is doing his level best to lift
Brownlow's fossy scalp. Just what
the row is about do not know, but
from all accounts things are sizzling in
the Tennessee mountains. There are
no harder fighters in the wide world
than those Tennessee mountaineers,
and the Brownlow-Taylor fight Is a
family fuss, proyerbially the worst to
which flesh is heir. In that district
the Republicans outnumber the Demo
Gratis two to one, so that Brownlow and
Taylor will have to make an even
break to enable Democrat to win
ALI served two or three terms in con-
gress. He was once the Republican
nominee for governor against his broth
er, Robert L., commonly called Bob,
but Bob won and is now the Democrat
ic nominee for United States senator.
So both Brownlow and ALI are old
campalgners and will make things hum
some.

DORY FLEETS BIG CATCH
Ten Carloads of Goldfish an Ordinary
Days Catch for Cape Cod
Fishermen.

-
Provincetown, Mass.-.Think Of a
landsman investing 81 cents in the
morning and receiving $50 at night in
return for his outlay! Profitable? Yes,
very. Yet that is what Is happening al
most every week in ProvinCetoWn.
Thousands and thousands Of dollars
taken from the sea every winter by
the largest dory fleet in New England
Is the proud boast of this fishing viii
lage.
The summer visitor who sees these
rugged fishermen arrayed as typical
yachtsmen seeking TO tempt the trans
tents to embark for a dollar cruise at
tho cost of % cents little imagines that
these same men during the winter
months ply Il vocation that, while haZ-
ardous in the extreme, gives better re-
turns than the average "landlubber's'
position, and that what the summer
guest doles out as almost charity for
the trip is simply pin money" for the
fishermen's wives.
At the present time some 400 OF the
townsmen are entertaining winter
guests-in the shape Of cod, paddock
and other fish. A few specimen ben
efactions, taken h~aphazardly from the
multitude, show hat Nels Paterson
cashed in $13 in nine hours; that
Billy" Miller and his three associ-
ates whacked out $72, and Teddy"
Newcomb and his two running mates
$62 each in a fortnight, while Frank
Crowley, otherwise known by the
sobriquet Of "Skerrp Jack" and part
ner earned $74 in seven days.
The last pair stood at the head OF
their class, hut they were closely
pushed by numerous rivals: amounts
ranging from $40 downward to $50 be-
ing their reward, while such as re-
ceived only $25 during the week were
looked upon as almost candidates for
the almshouse.
In one recent Sunday ten carloads
more than 100000 pounds-of fish, rep
resenting the town dory catch Of Sat
urday, plus Il few fish that arrived
Sunday in season to catch the out
pulling freight-went jolting cityward
from the local depot: and other epor-
nous shipments are of almost daily
occurrence when the weather Is not
too boisterous for fishing. In all sew
eral million pounds of cod AMI had
dock are shipped each year from this
port.

Brought to the United
States.

New York.-Prof. Trouvelot, scien-
fist, brought certain brown-tailed
moths to this country years ago for
experimental purposes. A vagrant
breeze waited a nest of the caterpillars
afar. They multiplied so fast that to-
day the pest is almost national.
Congress appropriated 100000 TO
find Il remedy for the evil, and the ag-
ricultural department sent a man
abroad to look for it. This expert has
invested in 5000, 900 parasites guaran-
teed to eat up the brown-tailed moth to
the last hair.
The immigrants are on their way to
America. A laboratory has been fitted
up at Saugus, Mass, to receive them.
Five million parasites have never been
so warmly welcomed to these shores
before.

The corner Is always a place Tor the

means the spelling of the silage.

be Il good one. But for cows giving

Acids of Fruits.

We have what we call sweet ap.

has been the general impression that
the sour apple had no sugar in it,
the tart apple a little and the sweet
apple much sugar in it. Recent in
vestigation. however, shows that it is
not a matter of percentage of sugar
but a percentage of acid. The sweet
apple has little acid in it, the tart
apple more acid in it, and the sour
apple much acid in it. The percen-
tage of sugar is about the same In
all three. This seems to be the latest
information up to date.

Yield of Silage Corn.

The yield OF silaSe varies consider
ably with the distance of planting.
Close planting gives the largest yield,
bu. tends to produce a weak stalk,
which makes the crop difficult to Gull
tivate and harvest. Three feet is prob
ably the most desirable distance to
plant sorghum, corn, and corn and
sorghum. II planted more than two
feet apart. the yield will be decreased;
whereas, IL planted in two-foot rows,
the cost of cultivation will be greater.

rience, says that this is o a shape

made more rigid than the walls OF the
