MUSIC HELPS DIG CANAL.
Bosses Capable Of Leading Choruses
Of West Indian Laborers Get
Best Results in Panama,

Washington, June 6.-Music is play
ing an important part In the digging
Of the isthmian canal. Laborers from
the West Indies are accustomed to
singing as they. work, and bosses cap
able Of leading chorus have much
greater success than men who do not
have that faculty.
Reports the commission have re-
ceived from officials in the canal zone
indicate that one boss has taught
songs which have inspired contentlnent
and energy among his men, with the
result that he has outdistanced all
rivals in the amount of work accom-
plished. Down, Men, Down." are
the words for which this master has
provided music that delights the
Jamaican heart. Other bosses are US
Ing the traditional "Yo, Heave, Ho."
Bosses who have been in the employ
ment OF fruit companies and other cor
porations in the tropics have carried
the methods Of the West Indies to the
isthmus, with excellent results, and
on all the government work singing is
becoming general.

SENATOR GgRhAN
Called BY DEATH.
MARYLAND MEMBER OF UPPER
HOUSE PASSES AWAY AFTER
LONG ILLNESS.
WAS PARTY LEADER IN
CONGRESS MANY YEARS
Both Branches Immediately Adjourn
Out of Respect to Memory of Noted
Democrat-opposed Acquisition of
Philippine Islands.

washington, June 5.-Arthur Pue
German, United States senator from
Maryland, died suddenly at his resi-
Gence in this city at 9:05 o'clock Mon
day morning. While Senator German
had been i'll for many months, he had
shown some Improvement lately. Heart
trouble was the immediate cause OF
death. His Illness, which had lasted for
several months, was not considered Sc
rious. He leaves widow and six
children.
Senate Adjourns Out of Respect.
The senate adjourned Immediately
upon receiving the announcement of
Senator Germans death. No business
whatever was transacted, even the
reading of the Journal being dispensed
with. There was an unusual number
Of senators present and all were mani
testify impressed by the solemnNy OF
the occasion.
After the opening prayer, which was
delivered by Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce,
Of this city, Senator Bailey announced
the death, and appropriate resolu-
tions were then adopted After the
senate adjourned the desk and chair
formerly occupied by Senator German
were draped in deep black in accord
snce with the custom in such cases.
| The house also adjourned when the
announcement of the death of Senator
German was made.
A Notable Figure in Congress.
Senator German long had been a
notable figure in the national con.
gress. He first took his seat in 1881
and served continuously for 1S years
and nearly all of that time he was the
Twice-a-week plain dealer., 1906-06-08

leader OF the Democratic party in the
senate. -
Winning early a reputation for saga
city and the keenest Judgment in con-
gressional affairs, he attained promi-
nerce, not only as e leader In the SEN
ate but in the country at large, and by
many men was considered the most
available man in his party for the
presidency. He was chairman of the
executive committee, and managed the
campaign that resulted in the election
CT Cleveland in 1884.
His Break with Cleveland.
It was during Cleveland's last ad-
ministration that a break occurred be-
tween the Democratic president and
the leader of the party in the senate
IN a speech which always will be
remembered by those who heard 1T
Senator German severely arraigned
the president To this opposition the
defeat OF Senator German a few years
later is attributed, although his party
lost Maryland in the silver cam
paigns. AS soon as the Democrats re-
gained control of the state he was al
once reelected to the senate.
1t was tribute to his leadership
that as soon as he was again in the
senate he was made leader of the mi
nority, and, although the seniority rule
Is strictly enforced, German was given
committee places that were equal to
those he had held after long cont,n.
uous service.
Fought Taking in Philippines.
Senator German was vigorously op-
posed to the acquisition Of the Philip
pines and fought the ratification Of the
Paris treaty with all the force he pos.
sessed, Knowing that strong pressure
was being exerted on Democrats who
were standing with him, he urged at
early vote, while friends of the treat,
held back until the necessary two.
thirds OF the senator's were secured.

WORK RESUMED AT MINES
MEXICAN TROOPS CONTROL SIT.
UATIoN IN MEXICO.
Col. Greene Says Accounts o. Dts
turbances at cananea Have
Been Exaggerated.

Bisbee, Ariz., June Cool. w. q.
Greene, president Of the Greene Con-
solidated Copper company, who is at
Cananea, Mexica, sends the following
signed statement:
Some accounts of disturbances at
Cananea very much exaggerated. Mex
lean authorities are giving full protec-
ton to our interests; work being re-
sumed at mines and smelters. Gen.
Torres in absolute control of situation.
Evidently false and malicious report
has been extensively circulated by in-
terested parties for mercenary mo-
tives."
A telephone message received here
from Cananea says that the town is
still under control of the Mexican mill
1tary authorities. There were no fur
ther disturbances during the day.
Mexican troops and rurales have con-
tinued to arrive until Gen. Torres and
Col. Kosterlitzky now have sufficient
force to control any outbreak that
might occur. So far there has been no
disposition shown on the part of the
Mexican miners to return to work, and
the smelling plant Of the Cananea Con-
solidated Copper company and the
mines are working short handed. The
banks and stores were opened for bust
ness after remaining closed since Fri
day.
That the outbreak of Friday was Of q
revolutionary character was proven by
the discovery of the following circular
| copies OF which had been distributed
among the Mexican miners:
! Mexican Workmen: A government
Is elected by the people to guide them
and satisfy their necessities in all re-
quirements. This Mexico does not pos
sess. On the other hand, government,
exists which is composed Of ambi.
tious persons, who criminally contem.
plate expressing the people, being
elected by the worst of them in or.
der that they might assist them In en-.
rtching themselves. This Mexico doea
not need That the people elect rheil
officers to govern them, not to ridicull
and humiliate them, is what the repub
lie should be. People, arouse your.
selves and act; learn that which yor
seem to have forgotten. Congregat.
and discuss your rights. Demand IN,
respect that is due you. Every Mex
lean, whom the foreigners despise, ii
worth just as much or more than thos,
foreigners if he will join with hi,
brothers and claim his rights. Curse
the thought that Mexican Is wortl
less than a Yankee, that negro o,
Chinaman is to be compared with {
Mexican. That this is fact is a re
suit Of very bad government which
| gives the advantages to the adven
turers rather than to the true owners
of this unfortunate land Mexicans
awake. The country and our dignit,

TOBACCO SECRETS,
What Makes the Chico One OF the
Mildest and Most Enjoyable
Cigar on the Market.

How many people, even among the
most confirmed smokers, know what
constitutes the difference between a
strong and mild cigar? 1t is simple
enough. The strong product is SO
made that it burns badly, while q
mild cigar is one that burns well-like
the Wadsworth Bros. Chicos.
"These CIGARS" says P. A. Clemmer
the local agent, "are made from
long Havana filler, carefully selected,
with the best hand Workmanship; and
as they burn freely with firm, pei.
feet ash the result is a mild, pleasant
and enjoyable smoke"
Six months ago the Chico was not
known in Cresco, but to-day it is the
most popular cigar in the city, and is
the favorite although it sells for but
ave GENTS. Smokers who have here
tofore wanted only ten or fifteen GENT
goods should step into P. A. Clen..
mer's Drug store and get few Chi
cos. We know you will say, as do
other fastidious smokers, that it is
the mildest and most enjoyable cigar

Farmers are Anxious for Registration.
Secretary John Simpson Of the state
department of agriculture is preparing
to register thousands of stations and

tration, going into effect July 4. The
statute now requires all bulls and stall
lions to be registered. 1t requires
registration with the state Of all stall
lions and bulls which are represented
as registered in any stud or herd book.
That is, If a farmer has a bull or
stallion which he does not claim is
registered, he need not register him
with the states officials. If, however.
he claims 1t is registered animal he
must get state certificate.
Mr.. Simpson has received thou

May Prosecute standard oil.
Des Moines-There is considerable
likelihood that tbs state Of Iowa will
prosecute the Standard Oil company.
The last legislature enacted an Anti
discrimination" law, modelled after the
anti-discrtmination statute of Kansas.
The bill creating the law provided
that the statute should go into enect
upon publication. 1t has been pub
lished and is now law of the state.
Attorney General Mullan has secured
printed copies of the law and Is now
studying 1t with view to learning
just what 1t requires and whether,
under 1t, he should make an investiga.
tion OF the standard.
The law does not provide any appro-
priation for an investigation OF the
company by the attorney general, but
1t evidence that the law rs being vio-
lated is placed in his hands. he will
have authority to proceed under pre-
vious chapters Of the code. 1t is prob
able that alleged evidences will be put
in his hands soon. Clifford Thorne of
Washington. Ia, secretary of the Inde-
pendent Oil Mems association of Kan
sas, was instrumental in getting the
bill passed at the session of the legis-
lature just adjourned and 1t is under.

working up case against the Stand
ard.
The law prohibits the sale Of petrol
cum products in one community for
moro or less than is charged in other
communities, cost of transportation be
ing added or deducted as the case may
be-. 1t Is known that the prices on
| oil quoted by the Standard now are
different in different parts of the state,
Sometimes varying as much as cents
barrel between cities on the same
line Of railroad. This is believed to
mean that the Standard thinks the
new law ie unconstitutional and pro
poses to fight It on the ground, being
willt9g to have the state start action
