The Perkins Expartriation Bill.

A favorable report on the Perkins ex-
patriation bill has been agreed upon by the
House committee on foreign affairs. This
bill embodies the recommendation OF q
commission named by the State Depart
ment to investigate the general subject OF
American citizenship and the protection OF
Americans abroad. 1t is revolutionary in
that 1t upsets the old theory that man
who Is once an American citizen Is always
an American Citizen and provides that five
years Of residence outside the United
States shall make an alien of any citizen.

be purchased unless the seller
agrees to let her go,ou, say, ten
days trial.
AS to the Jersey, we have at
band the particulars of a test
for milk flow and butter fat in
1906. They ranged in age from
q years to 5 years or over. The
milk flow varied from 5000
pounds to IL, 900 during the year.
Twenty-six of the cows gave
from 5000 to 1000 pounds of
milk; Twenty-Five gave from
1000 to 8 900 pounds. The fall
ing away Is very marked when
the 1000 pounds limit was pass
ed. Only seven cows gave from
5000 to 10000 pounds and but
one gave II, 000sand over. Con-
corning the ages at which the
higher performances were made:
NJ COW in the 24-year class ex-
ceeded 5000 pounds of milk.
Only six out of thirty cows of
this age, indeed, exceeded 1000
pounds. In the % TO ii .year-old
class ten cows give between
8 900 and 5000 pounds a year:
there were forty-five classed in
this age. In tie COWS 4 years
I'D and under years-n:neteen
only were tested-eight gave
this same large yield-nearly
half This indicates at least
that the Jersey is not far from
her "best" in the latter age
class. Nine out of nineteen in
he 4 to 5.year class made 400 to
500 pounds of butter fat; eigh.
teen out of twenty-five of the 5

record; while the 2t-year class

predominated for several weeks. 1t Is
predicted that If severe cold weather
should prevail at once there would be
difficulty in meeting the demand. Some
sales agents are refusing to accept or

The shortage of fuel in the northwest

on the railroads for carrying the fall
crops has not permitted them to take
care Of the large volume of coal bust
ness in the few months at this season
of the year. This all goes to demon
strate that local dealers must put in
sufficient quantity of coal early in the
season to tide them over the period
when shipments are uncertain. It
would seem that April was the most
advantageous time to buy coal for this
purpose, since the discount at that
time IS the greatest. Many dealers at
present make a practice of putting
sufficient amount Of hard coal in April
to take cere Of this shortage. The car
situation is somewhat easier, although
much complaint is heard from the Mil

HUNTING PIGEONS
FALLS TO DEATH

Knoxville, Jan. 12.-While hunting
pigeons for sick neighbor in the
top OF an old deserted elevator near
the Burlington tracks, w. H. Frame,
an aged and prominent citizen, lost
his balance in some unaccountable
manner and crashed to his death to
the bottom Of the structure. His
crushed and broken body was found
by his son, David, last night, with
the neck broken and head terribly
mangled.
Mr.. Frame had started out in the
morning with his gun to find doves
and evidently climbed up into the old
building as the best place likely for
the birds. How he lost his balance
and fell to his fate will never be
know. The body was not found until
many hours after, and was then quite
cold.
Mr.. Frame was u years old and
came here quarter of a century ago
from Indiana. He was well know in
Grand Army circles. Besides the wild
ow he leaves three children, one
daughter, Mrs. Knute Edgren, living
in Des Moines.
Relatives of Frame are unable to ac-
count for the accident and the theory
that the victim must have been strick.
en- with o sudden attack of heart
failure is advanced, Arrangements
for the funeral have not been made.

STEALS FROM
SACRED HALLS
CRIME RUNS RAMPANT UNDER
VERY EYES OF JUSTICE AND
RAlLIFF LOSES COAT

Crime entered upon the sacred por-
tails Of justice yesterday and waxed
rampant beneath her very eyes. AS a
result of this proclamation Bailiff Steph-
en- Barnes of the Wapello county dis
trict court is minus one overcoat.
Mr.. Barnes stated yesterday after.
noon that when he entered the small
lobby off the court room yesterday
morning he hung his overcoat on the
pag which he has reserved for his own
exclusive use. He soon afterwards no.
ticed young man loafing about the
lobby. The man told him that he was
a stranger from Denver and merely
wanted to look over the court house.
Mr.. Barnes did not notice the young
man after that time, but when he went
to look for his coat at the noon recess
of the court, that garment was mis-
sing. Mr.. Barnes has reported the
theft to the police together with a de-
scription Of the young man whom he
believes to have been the thief.
The lobby is used by the attorneys
and court officials as cloak room in
which to hang their coats and hats.
