St. Paul, April 4.-Regarding the
resignation OF James j. Hill as pres.
dent Of the Great Northern railroad
and his election as chairman Of the
board Of directors It Is stated that 1t
In no sense meant the retirement of
Mr.. Hill from the direction of Great
Northern affairs. Mr.. Hills duties as
chairman will be practically identical
with the duties he has been perform
ing In recent years. These have had
to do with the general direction of the
roads policies and finances rather
than directly with the operation of the
property.
It has been understood for some
time that whenever Mr.. Hill retired
he would be succeeded by his son,
Louis w. Hill. The latter Is Yale
graduate. who on leaving college en-
tered the operating department Of the
road and has since perfected himself
In the school of railroading He has
been for some years vice president
Of the Great Northern and Is consid-
cred a very capable railroad man.
I Gradually, 1t Is expected. he will
take upon himself more and more Of
the responsibility of the management,
though 1t will doubtless be long before

Of the board becomes a nominal office.

New York, April 4.-The inside facts

Roosevelt have been given by a flnan-

Weeks.


Weeks.
San Francisco, April 4.~-A legal bat
tie that promises to last for weeks and
which Is expected to be In measure
pivotal for all the criminal proceed
ings growing out OF the grand jury
bribery investigation, was begun In
earnest when Abraham Ruef, San
Francisco's indicted political leader,
was placed on trial In Judge DunnGs
department OF the superior court on
the charge Of oxtorting large sums Of
money from local French restaurant
keepers under the threat that unless
paid he and Mayor Schmitz would pre-
vent the renewal of their liquor IL
cense by the police commission.
When court adjourned at the con-
clusion of the afternoon session one
talesman had been examined and
passed without challenge by both
sides and a second was under exami-
nation by the defense. The first Is J..

TELEPHONE AND THE MAILS.

The postoffice officials have been
forbidden to give any information
concerning the mails over the tele-
phone 1t will be hard to refuse the
request of some lady who on rainy
day inquiries if there is letter for
her. so that she may save herself a
trip uptown. But hereafter the infor-
nation must be refused In some
ways it will be a hardship both for
carriers and patrons on rural routes.
Carriers are no longer permitted to
call up patrons on the phone, either
at the postoffice or along their routes
for the purpose of giving information
as to the mails or for the purpose of
calling patrons to the boxes to meet
them on their rounds. The ruling is
made by the department and it's en-
forcement insisted on for two reasons.
Firstly it has been found that people
have impersonated others over the
phone for the purpose of obtaining in
formation concerning the mail of 9TH
E-ers. and second because in the country
where party lines are largely used,
the information is given not only to
the party for whom it is intended but
to others.
| Carriers are not permitted to re-
quest patrons to meet them in order
to receipt for registered mail. be-
cause, within the half mile limit it
is the business of the carrier to make
the delivery. He is paid for just that
purpose and the farmer is not. While
none of these irregularities which
prompt the order have been found in
this vicinity they have happened at
other places and the ruling is a gen
eral one. 1t is to be hoped that
patrons will take notice and will not
subject the post-office clerks or the
carriers to the unpleasant task of re.
fusing information by telephone.

A QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.

Senator Bailey said in a recent
speech. that his grand father fought
in the Union Army while his father
was Confederate. He said that he
was teaching his boy that his great
grand father was wrong and his
grand father was eternally right.
1t is useless to argue with Senator
Bailey, and it seems. unfortunately
utterly useless to argue with any
citizen Of the Solid South "Them that
are filthy. let them be filthy still" is
good scripture. The South still be-
lieves both in human slavery and in
State Rights. No logic but the colo
steel of race war will ever convince
them of their error.
There is no room for argument with
men who make such utterance a
that made by Senator Bailey or VIII
agree with Thomas Nelson Page
who. in discussing the race question
makes it as his first proposition tina

TIE GYMNASIUM IDEA.

The more we think of Prof. Hun
phries suggestion concerning the use
of the old opera house building for
gymnasium purposes the better pleas
ed we are with it. The man who has
good physical equipment has ire
mcndous advantage IN the race of
life. He is strong and fit for any
emergency and he always has the
capital of muscle to draw upon should
other line of endeavur fail him. The
truth is that all cannot live by their
wits. Some must work with their
hands as we'll as with their heads. Both
kinds Of employment are honorable.

EDlTo RIAL

Now is the time for the farmer to
'tget back to earth. - The average
farmer has had pretty good time
this winter Crops were good. prices
were fair. He has had time to look
up his investments in South Dakota
and Kansas, pay his bills. DO his
chores and rest up. Now the hard
work of the year begins iii earnest.
The spring promises to be an average
one and the soil is in extra good con-
dition. We are hoping for an increas-
ed yield of corn this year. We believe
that if the farmers have taken to
heart the lessons taught by Prof.
Holden about seed corn. the yield will
be increased.
Our farmers take dozens of agri-
cultural papers and we sometimes
wonder if they are read with dis
elimination aud understanding. 1t
must be that they offer many valu-
able suggestions and yet the mode
and methods of farming seem to
change but slowly. While the farmer
does not meet with the local and in
dividual competition that the mer-
chant does. he must. at the same
time compete with all the world. The
price is fixed not alone by the crop in
Iowa or in the United States, but by
the production of the entire world.
The problem for the farmer is to pro-
duce as much as he can. as cheapiy
as he can. At thirty cents bushel.
one farmer may be making ten cents
bushel while another farmer is los
ing money. Land values in his vicinity
are not too high. but the day has
passed when the farmer could get
rich simply by earning living and
letting the rise in land value do the
rest. The Iowa farmer of to-day who
expects to earn competence must
earn it out of his production. There
is no money in poor seed. OR in second
hand machinery. We trust that all
the farmers of the county have made
That they have tested their seed. eX-
amined their machinery and set their
house in order for the grand race tc
see who can raise the most corn son
the fewest acres. While Iowa is a
great corn producing state, the aver
age yield is not nearly SO large as it
should be- or would be if our far
mers took advantage of all that
science and experiment have brought
to their door. Let each farmer deter
mine. that if Gods sun shall shine
and il God S rain shall fall. he will,
do his part toward increasing the
production of Crawford county al
least bushel an acre. That alone
would mean thousands of dollars add
ed to the wealth of the county.

IN HIDING IN HAMMOND.
DR.. stevens, Degenerate and Exposed
Sunday School Worker, Took
Refuge Here Last Week.

DR.. D. a. Stevens. member Of the
faculty Of Bennett Medical College of
Chicago, and former Sunday school
teacher, and one of the trustees of the
jacobson Boulevard Christian church,
sought hiding in Hammond on the
nights of Oct 16 and II, when he reg
istered at the Hotel Majestic. This
was ascertained this morning upon in
quiry at this hotel.
Warrants for the arrest of Dr.. Stew
ems were issued in Judge Hines court
yesterday charging the physician with
having mistreated boys who attended
the Sunday school.
The sensational manner In which Dr.
Stevens resignation from membership
on the board of trustees and the Sun
day school superintendency of DR.
Stockdale's church was demanded and
of his being driven from Chicago by q
vigilance committee was related yes
terday at the meeting OF the medical
college board by DR.. Stockdale and Mr.
Reynolds. 1t was only with consider
able effort some time ago that the pas
tor, who is a Kentuckian. prevailed
on certain members of his congregation
to refrain from violence against the
physician.
The whereabouts OF DR.. Stevens a
present are not known.

PAROLE SYSTEM TESTED

South Chicago, Oct. 26.-(Special)-
Yesterday was parole day at Judge Cir
tens court and over twenty-five parole
cases came up. In each case the wife
Of the man arrested said that her hus-
band was working and that she had
no complaint to make. The cases were
those of men who thirty days before
had been brought before Judge Girten
on charges of drunkenness and who on
their promise to mend their ways, had
been released with the injunction to
return with their wives at the expira-
ton of one month and report the man
ner in which they were keeping their
word. The plan has been in operation
in Chicago for some time, but Judge
Girten inaugurated it within his dis
trict just a month ago. In another
thirty days the men on parole will be
expected to again appear before his
honor and give an account of them
selves. If it is found that they have
violated their parole, they will be sent
to the bridewell.

HAS A IS INCH GOURD
J. J. Klein of Dyer, Has Fine
Collection of Record Size
Garden Truck.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Dyer, Ind, Oct. 26.-Whle the fact
is not being announced in screaming
posters, j. j. Klein of this city, is
slowly but surely forming himself into
a monopolist who collects all the big
gest sized garden truck and farm pro
ducts.
Thus far he has accumulated a minia-
ture exposition of the vegetables and
grain products that have been grown
in this vicinity during the past season.
His latest addition to the accumulation
is a 36-inch gourd which he intends
cutting up into yardstocks and dis
tributing them among his friends af-
ter the gourd is thoroughly dried.
The gourd, weighing 4 pounds and
being peculiar on account of It's length,
may also be stored away as the big
stick" of Dyer.
The gourd, however, Is small when
compared with the enormous pumpkin
that he has added to the collection.
1t weighs 1S5 pounds and will in due
time be distributed among Mr.. Klein's
friends for real pumpkin pie. Several
of the merchants around town are
dickering with the owner for the seeds,
which they would like for distribution
among their customers instead of the
green trading stamps. To the collec-
ton also belong six potatoes weigh
ing six and one-half pounds one alone
Weighing two and one-half pounds
Onions of unusual size, and corn a
foot long is also in the collection.
