Change In Law Recommended
By Board of Control Relative
to Soldiers Home
MANY MORE WOULD COME IN
Applicants From Those Able to Pay for
Support But Are Now Barred Are
neutrality-suspicious. Calling for
$4,000 Asked of the Legislature =
The New Buildings.

| In it's biennial report to the governor,
| the state board Of control makes rec
ommendation for change in the laws
covering eligibility qualifications to she
Soldiers Home that would be a de-
parture. The board would admit to the
Home pensioners who are now barred
because of the amount they receive
from the government, and also those
veterans who are able and willing to
pay for their support in return for the
privileges of the Home.
The board has in the past received
applications from veterans who have
no other home and are able to pay for
their support and DESTROYS of securing
the comforts and comradeship mem
bership in the Home secures. There
are other pensioners whose bounty
from the government is not sufficient
to maintain them in comfort, but who
are barred from the institution because
of the amount they receive. All these
the board would admit, provided there
was room in the Home after all needy
applicants had been provided for. The
recommendations covering these points
follow:
1.-THE board has found that many
members of the Soldiers Home have
money which they derive from pen
sions or other sources which is not
sufficient for their support outside the
Home, but is more than they need
while in it, and that some members OF
that class desire to pay to the state
something for their support. There
are applicants also who have means of
support outside the Home, but having
no home Of their own, desire to enter
the one provided by the state and
would be glad to pay the cost of their
support by the state If permitted to do
SO.
1.-THE board recommends that mem
bers Of the Home who wish to con-
tribute to their support be permitted to
do so, and that applicants who have
some means Of support but no home
who would enter the Home If permit
ted to do so and pay the cost of their
support be received on that condition
when there is room in the Home not
needed for the deserving applicants
without means of support.
Appropriations Asked.
The boards report also refers to the
Improvements that have been under
way the past summer, entailing an ex-
penditure OF $41,639. These improve
ments included additions to the hos
pital, women's dormitory, nurses cot
tage and the boiler house. Contracts
have also been left for plumbing and
heating, for a new oven, a new mangle
and boiler. The legislature is asked to
appropriate for various purposes the
following sums:
For quartermaster;s building,
storeroom and equipment. $40 100000
For enlargement of pump

For grand army hall .,..,.... 100000

Who can solve the problem Of the
petty thief? During the past few
weeks an epidemic Of housebreaking
has appeared in Marshalltown, and do
what they will the police seem unable
to cope with the midnight providers.
There is no class of crime so annoying
to the police as petty thieving in the
residence districts. The officers know
not where to watch. The thief has
this big advantage. He awaits good
opportunity, breaks a lock or finds an
Unmatched door, ransacNs the house and
escapes. Nearly always the victim
knows nothing until the following
morning, and then no clue is available.

The bold assault on First avenue
woman, alone in her home, has enmg-
ed the public like few things in recent
years Good, law-abiding citizens are
free in expressing their sentiments
over the outrage, and threatening per-
sonal violence were the assailant APP
pretended. When defenseless wom-
dl, dlOIS III uSI IlOlHS, OF al SdA ~ 1Aoul
in the evening, is not free from as
sault by housebreaker, the situation
is serious, and warrants extreme
measures to prevent occurrences.

The city council has decided that it
is cheaper to settle impending damage
suits than contest them in the courts.
If all suits against the city were COM
promised so satisfactorily from the
citys viewpoint as the Jackson case,
the city would surely be money in
pocket.
The board Of controls recommends
ton to admit to the Iowa Soldiers
Home veterans who receive pensions
above the present prescribed limit, is
a good one, and legislation along that
line will undoubtedly be considered at
the next session. There are many
worthy soldiers who receive pensions
sufficiently large to bar them from
membership. Sixteen dollars per
month, the limit, is not enough to
keep a man in comfort outside the
Home, and many of this class are will
ing to reimburse the state for their
actual maintenance, providing they
may become members. Living inside
the Home, at the rate Of cost paid by
the state in buying in large quantities,
would make SIC go much farther than
the same amount outside a state instl-
tuition. AS the civil war veteran has
only limited time to live, at best,
the state should make concessions,
where practicable, and do everything
in it's power to make the last days
Of the veterans happy ones.

Rumors from Wall Street.

This district need not be distressed over the efforts of Wall street capi- talists to gain control of it's chief in- dustries. True, a consolidation of those chief industries, and a transfer of the joint concern to the steel corporation of Pittsburg would not be reassuring, but it is not well to anticipate in fears something that may never happen. No one has reason to believe such an out come is anticipated by the new con trollers of the Tennessee and Republic properties. and it is idle to talk of that which has no known basis.
 Consolidation of the three big prop critics in this district would not neces- sarily be hurtful. No one claims that the formation of the steel corporation has injured the Pittsburg district, and in the light of that stupendous aggre- gation of capital, it is difficult to see how a union of the Sloss-Sheffield, the Tennessee and the Republic in one great company would work injury to this district.
 It might prove highly beneficial, for it would equip this district for pos sible battle with Pittsburg. It would put us in a way to take full advantage of the opening of the Panama canal, and also of the Warrior, and it would lead no doubt to a full development of our natural resources.
 In the absence of evidence that the steel corporation is looking this way, there is therefore no room for un- easiness or anxiety. No one concern can monopolize the coal fields or the ore beds of this district, but one big, strong company could fight it's hard battles and give it square chance in the markets of the world. There is nc room for alarm, but much room in cur rent rumors for hope. Tn union there is strength. and that may be what is in store for this district.

money circles. It means at any rate that we will retain the gold recenly imported and it is encouraging to know that French investors are turn ing from Russian to American securi- ties. It means there will be money in the fall for crop movements, and it Tends an optimistic color to the entire money situation Not before this has a great American loan been placed in its entirety in rich and thrifty France, and it thus opens a new prospect.
 Holders of Russian bonds in France do not feel reassured by recent events, and it would not be at all surprising If an attempt to unload some of them and to take in their place American securities, should be made It Is said that there are nearly nine million in- Vestors in France, and that they hold today thirteen billions of securities. This is a wonderful story, but France is wonderfully thrifty-the France, that is to say, which lies outside of Paris.

TORTURE RELICS ON SALE.
Drunkard's Cloak, Iron Boot and Foot
 Squeezer.

From the London Daily News.
 Several torture relics were put up for auction at Stevens, Covent Garden, yes terday. but they did not excite much con- petition. There were no eager calls, even for a hangman's rope. A paltry Is was all that was given for one which had been used by the renowned Berry.
 An iron screw, or foot squeezer. was bought for f1. and the same figure was paid for set of double stocks, and also for what Is termed "drunkards s cloak D
 The last named is one of those instru- ments of old which was intended to put the delinquent to shame. 1t is shaped like a huge pail and the drunkard who was to be dsgraced was fastened into it with only his head visible through a narrow aperture at the top. The cloak gave the wearer the minimum of room, the hands being practically pinned to the sides. and walking was only possible in kind of shuffiing movement.
 Other articles sold were an ancient whipping post with shackels from Oxford. two sets of shackels which were used in old Newgate prison. ancient branding irons and an iron boot" into which the victims naked foot was placed and boiling oil poured in, all of which sold at 12s each.
 An ancient chair from the Castle of Nor enburg. in which people were secured for torture. fetched 1Ss. and an iron torture collar with spikes, 2Is.

Chip and Mary Marble.

No doubt Birmingham theatregoers will be pleased to hear that Little Chip and Mary Marble will again be co-stars next season, appearing in Wonderland, a musical extravaganza which was a great success in New York and which will be seen here early in the season at the Jefferson theatre.' said Arthur G.. Williams, representative of the Wells Dunne- Harlan company. ''The two stars, both of them extremely popular in Bir- mingham will have congenlal roles and will be supported by a company of about 70 people. The production will be elab crate in every detail and will be brought south for the first time next fall. Little Chip will have his original part, that of Dr. Fax, role which he played last season with great success in New York
 By the way, people down here know the diminutive comedian as Little Chip but along Broadway he is kwnown as Sam Chip. The reason is easily apparent. The name, Little Chip Is hardly dgnified enough for the more pretentious work which Chip Is doing so he thought it best to be known as Sam Chip, and that is the name by which he Is advertised in New York Of course you are aware that the real name of the comedian is Cornbloom.
 Chip was unusually successful in New York last winter The papers devoted much space to him and his career on Broadway was watched with interest by his friends

Restrictinu Immiuration.

The effort to restrict immigration to aloud book or a magazine-is break ing down. and it is now believed the bill cannot be pushed through Con gross. Those members of Congress who desire to see more white men in the south-more white growers of cot ton as well as more white laborers in our increasing industries-will oppose the passage of the bill and we trust they will put all possible obstacles in it's way in Congress. It should be de- feated at all hazards.
 It would be cruel and sectional blow aimed at the south just when i'm migration begins to turn this way Slowly but surely immigrants are be- ginning to see that in the south only is an opportunity to procure cheap lands. Twothirds of Alabama. for ex ample, is uncultivated. and the two thirds can be purchased at an average cost of five dollars an acre. This fact will yet attract immigrants if the pend ing immigration bill be defeated It doubtless will be.
 It is really an assault upon the gen eral prosperity of the country. It aims to shut out men just like those that have made this country great and rich It is bill conceived in eastern selfishness and prejudice. The eastern cities want no more immigrants, and so they propose to cut them off by the wholesale. They do not stop to con sit.er the uncultivated south. They see only themselves and their con- gested towns.
 What is needed is defeat of the pending bill and the landing of immi- grants at gulf ports. The latter will be instituted if the defeat of the former can be accomplished The President has favored the pending bill, but he is no longer behind it, and all unselfish support is falling away from it. It can be and should be defeated.

Japan in Corea.

Japan had some trouble in assimilat- obstacles in Corea. The Emperor of Corea is a weakling, and the people are filled with superstition and ignor- ance. The entire concern is backward and degenerate. Hatred of the Japan ese has been encouraged, and revolu- lions have broken out in three or four provinces. The county Is full of peo- pie. They number perhaps ten mil lions, and Japan may not speedily be able to put down armed rebellion. The reyolutionists are, however. armed with matchlocks and other obsolete weapons and the Japanese will drive them to the wall
 The uprising simply means that Ja- pans grip upon Corea will be rapidly extended Marquis Ito, the veteran Japanese statesman. is the real ruler of Corea, and he is about to return to it. While he is directing affairs Jap aLese immigrants are filling the coun- try, and the assimilation of the Coreans thus becomes but matter of time.
 No one is at hand or will be at hand to say Nay" to the Japanese All that is ancient history. Japan will do as to her seems best in Corea, and the Core ans have not sense enough to kpow that submission is all this cruel world holds out to them. To all intents and purposes Corea is Japanese province, and Manchuria is drifting in a like direction. Japan never fails to reap the fruits of victory, and she has not failed to secure victory in her modern wars.

MODERN CIRCUS PRoDIGAL.

from the Billboard.
 There died the other day at Burlinr- ton, Conn.,, quondam snowman whose success at one time equalled that of P. I. Barnum in their contemporaneous ca- reers. Sias M. Brooks was singularlv fortunate in his early enterprises. He was the idol of every circus-loving youth in New England. The fame of his pros- perity over-reached the broad limits of his native land. Brooks was the very incarnation of resourcefuness. At one time when his aeronaut was too i'll to make an ascent Brooks himself went up into the air with the canvas bag and came down with the parachute. His in- genuity was unbounded and his faculty for advertising has perhaps, never been paralleled.
 At the height of his career the great circus man became enamored of one of his lady riders. He soon married her and they plunged into the excesses and ex- travagances that led to penury and an early separation. But there was still left a great devotion to his child, the sole offspring of the union. Then the child died and it's fathers heart was broken.
 Brooks came struggling pack to his na- tive village a poor. broken-down. prema- turely old man. His death at the poor house, alone, neglected, at the age of s3, closed the last chapter of an eventful career.
