TAFTS EES WAY OF
SAVING CUBA'S SOVEREIGNTY

Havana Sept. 22.-Secretary of
War Taft sees a way tonight of saving
the sovereignty of the Cuban republic.
He admits that there Is tangible
plan but will not disclose its exact
character. 1t is not Victory for
either political party but contem-
plates radical concessions by both.
The secretary's program is as yet
embryonic and depends upon the pat
iotlsm of the moderate and liberal
leaders. both of whom have shown
confidence in the medlators by naming
delegates with definite powers of at
torneys to treat for their respective
parties.
This action by Messrs. Taft and Ba-
con Is regarded as the most important
yet taken. Negotiations on new ba-
sis will open Immediately and 1t is be-
lieved that eventually the opposing
delegates Will be brought together at
Minister Morgan's villa at Marianao
with President Roosevelt's mediators.

ExiIed Queen RanavaIo.

Among the members of the ruling
families of the orld, most of whom
have known many sorrows, there are
few figures so pathetic as that OF
Ranavalo, the ex-Queen of Madagas-
car, who is now on visit to Paris,
and who since 1897 has been queen
without throne, living in Algiers on
the charity somewhat grudgingly
vouchsafed her by the French Govern
ment
Ranavalo is now forty-four, and, all
though her complexion inclines to q
dusky shade, she is by no means I'M
attractive. She possesses a distinctly
good figure, dresses with much taste,
and wears her clothes with distinction.
She ruled over Madagascar for four
teen years, and, like the two queens
who preceded her, became the wife of
the Prime Minister. When she began
her reign the country was at war with
France.

THE PROPOSED DITCH.
Litigation Will Likely Follow Re-
elimination Project.

The drainage Of the Frank Barnes
lake in Scott township near the Des
Moines river is not to be accom-
plished without some litigation and
considerable trouble in the courts.
In the first place, a drainage dis
trict had to be established by the
board of supervisors, the proposed i'm
provement surveyed, plated, proper
ly described and set forth on paper.
The drainage is for the purpose Of re-
claiming number of acres of land
that will be worth at least sixty-five
dollars per acre. The land lies above
the level of the Des Moines river
and ditch something over a mile in
length, two feet wide at the bottom,
and not over six feet deep at the
point of greatest excavation, will do
the work.
Mr.. Barnes is having trouble in set
Ting with claimants whose land will
be crossed by the ditch. Some claim
heavy damages if the ditch is excavat-
ed across their places. The follow
ing claims must be adjusted in some
way before the work of digging tue
ditch that will let the waters out OF
the lake can proceed: Mary Doolittle,
$500; William T. Smith, $500; Hiram
Haverlo, 800; James Haverlo estate,
800, and some other minor claims.
The matter is being much talked
about in the neighborhood and it is
said that some feeling exists on &C.
count of the proposed improvement.

Wonderful knowledge.

1t is wonderful how some papers
succeed in getting information of
which all others are ignorant. A To-
cal paper informs us that Bishop
Goodsell of the NJ. E. church, who is
to preside at the session of the Iowa
Conference at Grinnell Sept. 5, was
elected bishop at Oskaloosa in 1888.
The Methodists of the city will be as
tonished to find that they have actual
ly entertained the General Conference,
which elects the bishops that year.
They remember very well that Bishop
Goodsell presided at the session of
the Iowa Conference in the old S1mp-
son church that year. .
The same paper ranks Bishop Nc
Cabe as a "superannuated bishop"
whereas he is one of the most effect
i've workers of the sixteen effective
bishops of the church. Verify, its
knowledge of base ball, including the
Sunday games, is much better than
its information as to church men and
affairs. w.

FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS.
William Harper Has Fine Record in
Mahaska County.

Noting the Herald's comment of a
few days since concerning the long
residence of an old pioneer in the
county and his many years of service
in the harvest field, William Harper,
who owns a fine farm near Given,
south of Oskaloosa, believes that he
has a record that is somewhat bet
ter. Mr.. Harper came to Iowa and
Mahaska county So years ago and
went to work in the harvest fields
with will, working out his own saliva
ton. Fifty-five years ago he was
married and settled down upon the
self same farm which he now occu-
pies. In 81 of the So years of resi-
dence in Iowa Mr.. Harper has been
in the harvest field, missing only one
year, and that this season. He says
he could have gone into the fields
this year but did not do it because
he didn't have to. This is record
of which any man might well feel
proud.

Hydrophobia Said to Be Rampant in

Iowa City, Aug. z4.-Hydrophobia is
prevalent among the cattle, horses
and dogs of Johnson county, accord
ing to DR.. Henry Albert, Iowa state
bacteriologist, who completed a series
of investigations in the Iowa state
laboratory today. He found positive
proof that at least six COWS on the
Kostelecky farm near Iowa City had
had rabies wnen killed. Many other
animals, he declared, had been bitten,
and are now mad throughout the
county. He urged the mayor and city
council to issue an order as to dogs,
and aske dior "muzzle-or-kll' at
tachment thereto. This, he believes,
may avert the death of many more
animals, and, perhaps, human beings.

RETURNS FROM SERVICE.
Frank Hunt Says He Prefers Civilian
to Soldier Life.

Frank Hunt, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tom Hunt, No. 805 Seventh avenue
east, who has been an enlisted man
in United States regular service dur
ing the past three years, surprised
his parents yesterday by dropping in
upon them, discharged at the end OF
his term of enlistment. He has been
in the cavalry manouvers near Chey-
enne, Wyoming, for some time past
and comes home direct from hard
work in the field. He is tanned as
brown as a Malay islander and GER
tainly has the bearing of trooper.
He has not been home since his enlist
ment three years ago, and has had a
varied experience. He was injured a
number of times and was held up and
shot at while carrying messages or post
mail at another time. Frank says he
has had enough of the service. He
comes home wearing three stripes,
which is about the limit of the en-
listed mans honors in the service, and
he was solicited to remain with his
troop. Civilian life has greater
charms and hence the young man
came home.

ed at Primghar the other day between
the Methodist church and the Congre-

receipts being divided equally be-
tween the ladies' aid societies OF the
two churches. What made the game
all the more novel and interesting was
that each pastor of his respective
church had to pitch one inning. The
Congregational brethren got away
with their Methodist competitors in
the game by a handsome majority.

Exciting Runaway.

Much excitement was occasioned on

team driven by Clyde Browneller, a

team started near the postofice and
ran north to the ]. c. Alcorn home,
where they struck hitching post and
relieved themselves Of the hay rack
which they were pulling. The driver
finding he could not stop the team,
jumped from the wagon just before
it struck the post and escaped injury
