The old library, valued at $500. was
saved from the fire, and with the ad-
dition Of 81 900 worth of books. will
give Union the most complete village

to Do His Duty.

Washington, April 9.-Declaring that
Ballinger, because he had been counsel
for q number Of land claimants in a
Siletz Indian reservation in Oregon,
now declines to give them the benefit
of his Judgment since becoming secre-
ed to delegate to his assistants, Frank
Pierce, the duty imposed by law on
him." and that the latter has decided
adversely to them. William D. Bales,
Thomas Rolverton. and Levy M. Gill
bert today filed suit for injunctions to
prevent the execution of the order of
Pierce, the assistant secretary.
Bales says he employed Ballinger in
1908 and the latter filed in the office
of the then secretary a brief urging
that a%satent be issued to Bales. BY
The alleged irregularities he claims his
title to the entry was clouded and
Pierce had rendered against him de-
cision which is about to become opera
tive in Oregon unless the court pre-
vents it's execution.
BalIinger in Denial.
When Ballinger's attention was
drawn to the suit, he emphatically de-
MED he had ever been attorney for the
claimants or that there was any special
reason why the assistant Secretary of
the Interior Pierce had handled the
cases. The latter had disposed of them,
he said, in accordance with his gem
eral assignment of handling land office
matters.

Council Bluffs, April 9.-Chief of Po-
lice Richmond went upon the witness
stand today In defense Of himself IN
the case brought to oust him from Of
ficee The most important feature of his
testimony was that portion directly
contradictory to the testimony of Rob-
ert B. Wallace, republican nominee for
mayor two years ago. Concerning an
episode election day in the basement of
the Manhattan saloon, where Wallace
said the selling of liquor did not even
tered the place and was still running
in full blast when the two left, Rich
mond swore that when he and Wal
lace entered the basement he ordered
the sale of liquor stopped and the place
closed out; that he also saw the pro-
prietor of the saloon and told him to
report at the station the next morn
ing. Chief Richmond stated that he
drove all the men from the basement
of the saloon while he and Wallace
were there, and that they two were the
last to leave. A short time after this
place was raided by Constable Baker.
Richmond is still upon the stand.
The state will introduce half a dozen
witnesses in rebuttal Monday. Court
adjourned at o'clock this afternoon

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, April 9.-Nearly all the
leading democrats who attended the
Jefferson banquet left the city early
today, and following the extended con-
ference yesterday nothing further was
done at to a candidate for governor.
The situation remains practically un-
changed.
Bashor is the only candidate for gov
ernor. Whether John Dennison will
also become a candidate is not yet
decided, but it will be within few
days. He is very strongly urged to
enter the race in order that there be
friendly rivalry between candidates for
head Of the ticket and to bring out a
large democratic vote at the primary.
Neither Wade nor Sullivan has con-
sidered being a candidate and it is
very doubtful if either will do so. 1t
developed that S. w. Mercer of Iowa
City, will be candidate for railroad
commissioner.

DUEL is AvERTED
Former Premier witte, of Russia,
Apologies For Statement Which
General 'kuropatkin Took as Person
al Insult and Fight Called Off.

tween former Premier Witte, who rep
resented Russia in the peace. negotia-
tions with Japan at Portsmouth, and
General Kuropatkin, former command
erin -chief of the Russian forces in
the field, has been averted thru an ex-
PLANTATION by the former.
Kuropatkin took offense at a. speech
in which Witte asserted that modern
Russian military commanders were
lacking in moral courage and were
prone to blame others for their own
failures. The general accepted the
reference as personal insult, and,
challenging, seconds were appointed by
both men. Subsequently the count ex-
pressed regret that his spoken words
were such that the general could con-
slider them as referring to himself, and
said his remarks were intended merely
for general application.

What HOPKINS Said.

Chicago, April 9-Characterizing the
teachings OF Secretary Wilson as
"damnable," "abominable', and dis
graceful" by Prof. c. G. Hopkins, of
University of Illinois, delivered a
singing criticism Of the department of
agriculture here in an address at the
City Club. Professor Hopkins dis
missed the secretary himself by SIM
ply saying, ''he is an unscientific man.
Some direct quotations from Sec
retary Wilson were cited by Hopkins
as "abominably false"
Practically all soils contain suffic-
lent plant food to produce good crop
yields. this supply will be indefinite
ly maintained.
SO far as the present outlook is
concerned, the nation possesses
ample resources in its soil for any con-
ceivable increase in population for sew
eral centuries.
The soil is the one indestructible,
! immutable asset that the nation pos
sesses 1t is one of the resources that
can not be exhausted that can not be
used up"
Hopkins then said: Can you blame
the farmers for continuing to wear
out their land when these are the
'S'Siiiii6s p1oluuiSdteu from tne n1SH-
est authority in the United States?
And these false teachings are all the
more damnable because the common
soil type on abandoned farms in Mary
land, only few miles from Washing
ton, contains only 16o pounds Of phos-
phorous in the plowed soil Of an acre,
while the richest black prairie soil of
Illinois with a value Of 5000 an acre
contains more than 1000 pounds of
phosphorus in the same stratum" AS
a remedy for the rapid wearing out of
farms, Hopkins suggested pulverized
phosphorous rock such as is to be
found on the public domain.
