MAN of the Hour"

Speaking of The Man of the Hour
which will be presented at the Gen
nett on Saturday, March IA, matinee
and night, the ST. Louis Globe Demo
crat says:
That the praise which greeted the
first appearance of The Man of the
Hour" was merited is proved by the
fact that he is with us again after
tour of the country shat has been ex-
ceedingly successful. In all the large
cities, and no doubt some of the
smaller ones, his great sermon against
sraft---a powerful and absorbing ser
mon-has been preached and the PEG
pie have applauded it and pronounced
it wholesome in material and in the
lead of most dramatic efforts in so far
as interest is concerned Last night
it was again delivered before a St.
Louis congregation. at the Olympic,
and was given greeting that would
have honored brand-new effort.
The Man of the Hour deals with
materials that are familiar to every
one who reads the American newspa-
pers and takes an interest in munich
pal government. We are all familiar
with the ways of grafters and have
met the sort of men who figure in the
play: have seen them trapped Just as
they are in the play: and have seen
them punished more severely than
those in ths play are. So il seems

New Phillips this afternoon to run
throughout the week. AS stated in
previous notices, it has been very sell
dom that Manager Murray has man
aged to get as many clever perform

great and includes spiritualistic and
cabinet work, an illustrated song, a
German comedy sketch, horizontal bar
work, vocal work. motion pictures, and
a playlet depicting southern life. It
should be remembered that starting

FACTS CONCERNING STATE TREASURY.

By process of juggling figures the
Cummins organs of the state have at
tempted to make it appear that the
Cummins regime has not been extrava-
CANT and has not depleted Iowa's
treasury. State Auditor Carroll has
just issued second statement of state
expenses which give the lie to the
claims of the Cummins ring. 1t is in
part as follows: Mr.. Carroll char
ged that the facts had been juggled
and that the real situation had been
presented by him previously. He al
legged that the statements issued show
ing that million dollars were in the
state treasury included certain items
of special funds that should not have
been included.
Mr.. Carroll said in part as follows
upon the financial situation:
Since they choose to make figures
representing all funds. in the treasury
I desire to make some comparisons
upor that basis but before doing so
permit me to again call your attention
to the figures representing the general
revenue after deducting warrants JAN

How Vaccine Virus is Secured.


The following are the words of an
eminent London M. D.. based on the
official report presented to the local
government board:
"They take a calf, strap it down to
the table so that it is absolutely help
less. The next thing is to scrub the
stomach we'll. and after having
scrubbed 1T to shave off all the hair.
After the calf has has been scrubbed
and shaved it is cut in 1O0-120 places
upon the stomach with lancet, and
into these places is rubbed the So
called smallpox virus. After it has
been well rubbed into the sores the
poor creature is unstrapped and tied
up in a stable with its head TO the
wall, so that it shall not like itself,
for eight days. Some of you know

torment. At the end of eight days
the calf is brought back, and once
more tied to the table, and in order to
get the dirty decomposing matter out,
the pustules have to be squeezed.
You cannot procure the contents as
you would from child's arm, so the

Total of all moneys in treasury.

It will be observed that the amount
of money in the treasury May 4th of
the present year is 1855, 965. "a less
than the amount on the same date
five years ago and 1882. 1876. 10 less than
upon the same date one year ago.
AS stated above it is misleading and
unfair to present the above figures as
representing the available funds of the
state, since they include the educa-
tional institution funds. and do not
wish to be understood as so represent
ing them but it is necessary to present
them to. show what unfair means have
been resorted to by those who are try
ing to conceal the real facts.
Let me give you the figures re-
presenting the general revenue OF the
state for the same period and which is
all the revenue which the state has
from which to pay its expenses.

The above figures show decrease
in the available resources of the state
for general expenses between Jan /,
1904. and JAN. /, 1908, of $l,062,
S14 80.
The amount of money in the treas
ury is always greater during the
month of May than at any time of the
year and instead of comparing May of
this year with January of former
years as has been done by those who
are endeavoring to deceive the public,
let us compare May of this year with
May of other years including all
funds as they have done. The largest
amount of money found in the treas
ury any day this calendar year was on
May 4th when the treasury contained,
all funds included, 81, 023, 435. %.
1t is now less than one million dol
lars so we give them the advantage of
the high date May 9TH and the COM
parison is as follows:

Dan Patch News,

Rush orders have been issued to all
employees of the Dan Patch Air Line
by Asa Paine, local lumberman and
capitalist, who has just been elected
general manager of the company now
building an electric interurban from
the Twin Cities to Dubuque, Iowa.
AS result the ''do it now" spirit is
very noticeable in and around the
company's general offices in the inter-
national building at Minneapolis and
the spring work is being started and
pushed all along the line.
Mr.. Paine's acceptance of the man
agership has greatly pleased the Off
GERS and directors of the interurban
company who know his peculiar
qualifications and are confident that
he will get results and get them in a
hurry. He has always been identified
with success and everyone who is &C.
quainted with him knows that he
would not undertake the management
of this great work unless he felt GER
tain that he could add one more to his
list of financial accomplishments.
Not only on account of his keen
business ability is Mr.. Paine fitted
for his new duties. He is civil and
mechanical engineer. being the pos
SCISSOR of chief engineers license in
Minnesota. He has done railroad con-
tracing on the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern railroads. and has
built and owned logging roads and
knows intimately every detail of rail-
way construction.
The new manager is undertaking
this work and has agreed to give his
time, energy and ability to the build
ing of the Dan Patch Line without
enumeration. He has agreed to do
this because he has practically retired
from active business and has the time
to devote and because his money and
his heart are in the success of the new
interurban. 81 honestly believe that
the Dan Patch Line Will do more to
build up this city than any other one
project OF which know" said Mr..
Paine. 81 have lived here long
time. my home and my interests are
here and 1 am sincerely anxious to
help any project that is for the bet
torment of this community. Like
President Savage and the other officers
and directors of the Dan Patch Line I
am willing to donate my time and
work to pushing this project that
means so much to us and to this city.
/ mean business and things are going
to be rushed. Crews will be at work
Monday morning and we hope to be-
gin laying rails within a few weeks.

1t will be observed that the amount
of cash in the treasury belonging to
the general revenue May 4th of the
present year is $SO3, 764. SO less than
upon the same date five years ago and
is $2O6. 402 80 less than upon the same
date one year ago Notwithstanding the
fact that there has been an increase Of
four tenths of q mill in the levy for
state purposes which has brought in
about $4,000.
I have not said that the treasury
will not be able to meet it's demands,
that may depend upon whether the
appropriations authorized are expend-
ed this year or are held back in order
to relieve the situation as is now be-
ing done with some of them, but l am
wondering how the treasury with
more than $500, 900 of decrease in the
general revenue from May of last year
will get through when it became
necessary to husband its funds fol
several weeks preceding April LIST OF

Few men have aspired to the Office
of governor in Iowa who have been
better equipped for the duties of that
position than Hon. B. +. Carroll,
whose name will appear upon the re-
publican primary election ballot. Mr..
Carroll was for years editor Of one Of
Iowa's best newspapers, and in recent
years during his incumbency as state
auditor has established record in
that capacity not excelled by any
auditor Iowa has ever had. Upon the
question Of insurance especially is he
considered authority, and this ques.
ton will be one Of the most important
TO be dealt with in the near future.
He is in every sense business
man, without the frills and frivolities
of the present skylarking governor. a
man whose word is as good as his
bond, and who If elected will give
Iowa business administration, which
the state is in need OF.
