MARSHALLTOWN. IOWA.-The republican
caucauses for this city have been called for
Thursday evening for selecting delegates to the
county convention. who in turn will select the
delegates to the state, judicial and congressional
conventions. Caucuses have been called in most
Of the townships for, the same evening. There
will be little or no opposition to the selection
OF delegates favorable to Governor Cummins in
the matter Of the delegation to the state conven-
known to Congressman Cousins. Judicial poll
tics, however, is seething. It may result in
Marshall county losing the judgeship entirely.
There are three candidates for Judge an

nation, former Speaker Stone and County At

AMONG COTTON GROWERS
Scanty Labor in the South the Great
misunderstanding Substitute.
A. w. Page in the World IS wol

A. w=Page in the World IS Work.
] From all parts Of the south comes the
cry for more workers in the cotton
fields. Thousands of white families
have left the farms for the mills.
Thousands of negro families have left
the fields to go into the cities. In North
Carolina there are twice as many farms
as there are negro farm laborers: And
many who stay on the farms will no
longer work steadily. A field hand can
now earn in four days at 81 day as
much as he used to earn in a week at
60 cents day. The old standard of
living suited him well enough, and he
will work only four days now. A negro
who farmed "on halves'' near Rock
ingham, N. G., last year, and made
$1,100 above his living expenses, now
works in a livery stable for less than
"Why did you quit farmingG" I
asked him.
ssOh, L ies' TUX notion he an
swered
The owner of gin induced a negro
who had refused money, to cut wood by
promising him possum dog. But when
he had cut enough wood to pay. for the
dog, nothing would induce him to cut
more. The gin is now burning coal.
The same conditions of scanty labor
exist in North and South Carolina
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. The
better farmers are solving the difficulty
by using better machinery, more fertil
izer and less labor. A man can put
1900 pounds of fertilizer On field with
a fertilizer distributor in less time thar
he could put 200 pounds with the ole
hand "guano horn,'' and do it better
This is the result. Mr.. Henry Conner, OF
his farm near Athens, Ga, grew thi
year twenty-six bales Of cotton on thir
teen acres. His neighbors take almos
fifty acres to grow the same amount
Mr.. Conner saved the labor on thirty
! seven acres And there are more farm
ers like Mr.. Conner than there used t,
be. The sale of fertilizer in Georgi;
| has doubled in the last ten years.
Fertilizer not only increases the yiel'
of cotton lands, but makes them ever
lasting. A field at Mytilene, Ala, ha
grown crop of cotton every year fo
fifty years:

DAMAGE. .

CLINTON, IOWA.--The -washout which oc-
CURED on the Galora division Of the North-W

This does not include the loss sustained by the
staying the flow of water and repairing the
tracks. There were really two washouts. The
largest wiped away the roadbed for distance
of thirty feet, and was seven feet deep, vast
volume Of water sweeping thru the cut. Hun
dreds Of bales Of hay were thrown into the hole
to stop the flow Of water. and coal, cinders and
stone we're thrown the hay. Officials and
work trains hurried to the point from every
direction, and in twelve hours the first train
washed out. Men are patrolling the river bank
to guard against another break. 5&5 ~t..-e
It is not believed there will be further trouble.
Work on the, second track has: been finished and
trains are running schedule time The wash

Nicouet County Commissioners Decide
- New Jail Is Necessary.

ST. PETER, MINN.-The board Of county com,

mously to build a county Jail and sheriff's
residence. The building will be erected on the
courthouse square and its estimated cost will
The Jail project was taken up just a week
ago by the board and all the members favored
new structure to replace the present building,
which is far from satisfactory. They visited
and examined the Brown county Jail at New
Uln, which erected two years ago, and it
is understood the Nicollet county prison will be
constructed along the same general lines. The
Winona architect who designed the New Ulm
jail was before the board yesterday afternoon
and his plans and specifications met all the re.
quirements
1t was the original intention Of the commits
sioners to attempt nothing more than the foun-
daton this year, but they have decided to do
practically all of the building the coming sum
mer and have the Jail under roof by fall. Next
year they will contract for the cell and iron
work and finish the task.
At the present time the available funds in the
county treasury amount to about $4,000. The
remainder will be raised by increasing the tax
rate year hence. Bids are to be advertised
for immedia ately.

. saltwater, Mimi, Feb. 27.-It may be possi-
BILE that the state will not be compelled to de-
pend on private property for a railroad right
of way to the so-called Perro-Bean prison site
at Oak Park which has been selected as the
site for the new penal institution, providing
certain conditions are complied with. Sugges-
tions were made to the local committee day or
two ago that by going along the highway it
would not be necessary to purchase private prop
erty. ... r. a. H..
Last evening an engineer of the Omaha road
was in the city and pronounced the plan feas-
ible in every particular. He is Of the opinion
that the new plan Is better than the old, and
will have a corps of surveyors here today to
survey the proposed right of way. '.:
The Oak Park committee and the Saltwater
city committee are working energetically to
secure reductions in the price demanded for
the lands and indications are that they will be
successful, and that the property will not
cost more than S12,5O0 which the state board
Of control is willing to pay. Oak Park citizens
and believe that it will eventually be the
means of building up that suburb of Saltwater.
Residents Of Lakeland and surrounding coun-
try held a meeting last evening to protest
against the abandonment Of the Milwaukee after
noon passenger train, which was taken off a
week ago. Members of the railroad and ware
house commission were present and determined
effort will be made to have the train put on
again. Under the present arrangement there Is
only one train day each way, an accommoda-
t1on train arriving here at am. and leaving

WINONA, MINN.-W. p. Anderson, attorney
of the Minnesota branch of the Ancient Order
Of United Workmen. has gone to st. Paul for
conference with the state insurance depart
ment. Insurance Commissioner O-Brteti is de-
sirous Of having the United Workmen cone
under the supervision Of his department, and
the Workmen object the ground of the ad-
ditional expense it will involve. They are
not afraid of any light that may be thrown
their business methods, everything that
is done is accounted for in detail in their an
nual report. but they claim that the added eX-
pense Of being compelled 70 license every So
examinations at the rate Of S25 a day. would
be taking money from the organization that
rightfully belongs to its polcyholders.
1t Is claimed that it was not the intention of
the legislature to compel these fraternal organi-
cations to work under the same strict super. I
purposes Of profit The position of the insurance
department is understood to be that 1t thinks
all insurance organizations should come under
its supervision. The matter is being taken up
and discussed in a friendly manner, and 1t Is
expected some equitable adjustment will be
reached.

Fargo n. D., Feb. 27.-Commissioner e. r.
Ladd today issued his bulletin to paint manu-
facturers 1t calls attention to the decision OF
the court in the recent litigation and explains
the requirements of the new law The bulletin
is as follows: . Hl. s. Is
The North Dakota pain law has been de-
clared constitutional and valid. The decision
was rendered Feb. "a by Judge Amidon Of the
United States district court. The paint law Is,
therefore, in force and it is expected that
the manufacturers and jobbers who ship paints
into the state from this time on will comply
with the requirements of the same and label the
products where such labels are found necessary.
We ask that manufacturers and j0bbers who
now have paint in the state take steps to have
it properly labeled and in order to tide over
an exemption till April 1, 1906, SO that suitable
labels may be prepared and furnished to the
dealers. This department stands ready and
willing to give every assistance possible to those
in form like the following will, by this depart
ment, be deemed as complying with the spirit
Of the law: H., = ..

1t is assumed, of course, in the above that

Where western zines are used that do not carry
more than per cent OF lead sulphate. they may
be properly considered commercial zinc oxide

her lines are round and full, that the jaws
Of the dog are SMALL and that, because Of the
