Now the mills are equipped with

WITCH HUNTING IN AFRICA

A remarkable tale of native super
stition and credulity was told at the
magistrates court yesterday morn
ing, when eight Mashona natives
from the M'rewas district underwent
preliminary examination for commit
ting certain offenses under the witch
craft suppression ordinance. The
eight natives were all relatives, and
the father of some of them died re-
Gently. Not being quite satisfied
that death was due to natural
causes, appeal was made to a certain
native named Chibanda, who the
prosecutor stated was a well-known
witch doctor, though this fact was
not ELECTED in evidence. The out
come of the ~incantations was hat
two of the sons, Mapira and Katiwa,
visited a neighboring kraal and ac-
cused a native named Ka-
iiwa of having bewitched their father
and caused his death.
They demanded of the husband of
this woman that she should undergo
an ordeal to test the truth of the al
legations. The husband asked for
three days grace, saying he wanted
his wife's uncle to be present at the
trial. When this space had elapsed
Chitandaria, the husband, accom-
panied by his wife and her uncle, a
native named Denti, set out for the
kraal at which the ordeal was to take
place. On arrival the party was d.
rected to a small spruit below the
kraal. where the eight natives sat IN
conclave.
Chibanda was master of ceremon-
les, and sat cooking some liquid in
a pot. When the medicine a
cooked the lady was told to take a
draught. 1t was explained that two
draughts of this medicine would act
either as an emetic or a purgatiye
should the woman be a witch. Two
draughts were administered, but left
the woman ~undisturbed.
Chibanda, thereupon again piled
the medicine, evidently determined
that the oracle should work, and
after the unfortunate female had
taken twenty-one doses natur re-
belled and the medicine acted in it's
dual capacity. On this nve of the
natives sprang up with assegais and
kerries. crying: There Is the witch
who killed our father. let us kill
her" But the husband and uncle
came TO the rescue. After some dis
cussion the bereaved sons agreed to
he compensated. and as a first in
stallment the uncle handed over a
Kafir hoe, telling them If they killed
his niece he would inform on them.
The woman and her relatives then
went back to their respective kraals,
Three days afterward the two ma.
lives. Mapira and Katiwa, revisited
the woman's husband and demanded
the witch L be handed over to them
to be killed. This he refused to do.
and later the woman escaped to the
native commissioner. -Rhodesia Her

Special to Times Republican,.
Des Moines, April 12.-The executive
council is to be confronted with u
-problem of finding quarters in the state
house where, there are none. The leg
isature provided that the new board
of parole should have quarters in the
state house and that the state veter-
marian should also have quarters In
the state house. At the present time
there are occupants of office rooms in
the state house whb think they should
have more room and there are no va
cant rooms. The executive council
therefore has something of problem
on its hands.
There is some talk of giving the
rooms now occupied by the geological
survey department to the board OF
parole. These rooms are on the base
ment floor In the northwest corner OF
the building. There are two rooms and
a good vault. 1t will be necessary for
the board to have vault for the rea-
son that the indetermfnate sentence law
provides that the clerks of the dis
trict court following each conviction
must send to the hoard copy of the
indictment and list of the witnesses
and other evidence, all Of which must
be filed in safe place. There are about
400 to 500 of such every year and IN
short time small vault would be
filled 1t is necessary to have room
for hearings ia addition to a private
room. The rooms occupied by the geo.
logical survey supply all requirements.
If this is done 1t will be necessary
to find room for the geological depart
lmeiifis. There is talk of putting u
in the new historical
building or else in the rooms In the
brick residence building across the
street, part of which is occupied by the
state dairy and food commissioner.
Thus far no place has been discov-
cred for the state veterinarian. 1t may
be necessary to give him temporary
quarters with the state board Of health
till other rooms can be found.
Curator Aldrich, of the historical
building, is feeling very highly gratified
over the kindly treatment of the legis-
lature in giving him an assistant. 1t
is the first time that state officer has
been continued in office and because OF
declining years given an assistant to
take the burden of the drudgery work
off his shoulders. Mr. Aldrich, tho
feeble in body, is as keen in intellect
as when many years younger and can
direct the work as ably now as at any
time. BY giving him an assistant the
state has only recognized the great
work that he has done in working up
the department., during several years OF
which he worked without salary. Fur
thermore he has put into the depart
mont considerable of his own worldly
means and his friends feel that the
recognition is only fitting.

U. P. CHANGE is DUE.

Executive Committee to Be Reorgan-
ICED and Control Powers Divided.
New York, April 12.-As result of
the developments in the affairs of the
Union Pacific railroad during the past
six months or from the time of the
August dividend declarations thru to
the Interstate commerce hearing, it is
the opinion of influential and powerful
banking interests both here and In Eu-
rope that a change must be made and,
in fact, is near at hand, in the admin
istration Of the property.
This does not mean that Mr.. Har-
riman will resign. Nor is there any
evidence that he is wholly out of SYM
pathy with the general conviction that
the system is now so vast and ramifled
and so prominently fixed in the public
eye that it is desirable from every
point Of view that the responsibility
for such of it's acts as affect the
people generally should be divided
among as many strong men as posi-
BILE. This will be accomplished thru
the strengthening of the roads execu-
tive committee.
There are two plans which commend
themselves at this moment, and one
or the other of these unquestionably
will be put into effect shortly.
The Union Pacific executive COM
mittee consists of Mr.. Hartman, Henry
c. Frick, Marvin Hughitt, Robert 3.
Lovett and James Stillman. This COM
mittee, which is presumed to rule, with
Mr.. Hartman, the whole system. is no
longer considered adequate. Mr..
Hughitt is the president of the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad. with his work
in Chicago, and Mr.. Stillman has been
compelled by poor health to spend al
most all of the last two years in Eu-
rope. This reduces the working body
TO Mr. Hartman, Mr.. Frick and Judge
Lovett.
Judge Lovett is counsel to the road
and otherwise little known In the finan-
cial world owing his position solely to
Mr. Hartman.
Mr. Frick is one of the best known
figures of finance today. but one man
