REUF INDICTMENTS UP.

San Francisco, May Superior
Judge Dunno appeared before the
district court of appeals today under
an order requiring him to show cause
why he should not dismiss the eighty
indictments against Abraham Reuf,
former boss of San Francisco, which
are now pending in court. Reuf is
now in prison, but he and his attor-
neys are fighting to have the remain
ing indictments dismissed. The at
torneys for the former boss are conf
dent that they will succeed, as they
declare the case is exactly parallel to
that of Patrick Calhoun, the traction
magnate, and others against whom in
dictments were dismissed on actions
of the same nature. Moreover, Reuf
pleads that he has already been con-
victed on one indictment of the same
nature and is now serving time. The
motion followed Judge DUNES fail
ure to dismiss the indictments when
Reuf was in San Francisco as a wit
ness in the trial of former Mayor
Scmitz, Reuf's alleged partner in
graft.
Reuf has written biography of his

QUESTIONS THEY ASK
WHEN YOU SEEi. Jt.t

Chicago, May 2-The Rev. DIR. John
+. Stone, a noted Episcopal divine,
talked to the young men of his parish
Sunday on the questions asked by en-
ployers in different cities in investiga.
ing a mans personally.
What man is WORTH" said DR..
Stone, should be transposed to What
is MANI
I'm Boston one is asked: What
does he knows?'
"ln New York it is: What does he
get?
'In Philadelphia: Who was his
grandfather
In Baltimore he is asked out to din
ner.
I'm Chicago it is asked: What can
he do?'
There are three kinds of men: The
man of yesterday, the man of today
and the man of tomorrow The first is
not effective, while the last is a rain
bow chaser. The man of today-right
now-is the man for progress of coun-
try and government, right and truth. -

HOGS VACClNATED
AGAINST CHOLERA.

Laurel, Miss, May president
Hutchinson, of the Agricultural High
school, who has pretty bunch of
shoats that he is raising at the school,
this week had all of them vaccinated
as a preventive of hog cholera. The
Agricultural High School at Poplar
vile recently lost all their hogs from
this malady, and the measure was TAX
en- as precaution.
The recent session of the legisla-
ture provided that the vaccine virus
should be furnished at actual cost,
thus eliminating the feature of pro-
hibitive cost which has heretofore de-
TERED farmers from the use of it.

IOWA COAL OUTPUT
State Geological Survey Completes Its
Statistics For Last Years Product
SHOWS MONROE COUNTY IN LEAD
The Amount Mined In Year 1911 Was
7,331,648 Tons, Of Which Monroe
County Produced 3,402,743
And Polk 2,729,625 Tons.

Des Moines.--The Iowa geological
survey, in cooperation with the Unit.
ed States geological survey, has COM
pleted the statistics of coal produc-
ton in Iowa for 1911.
The figures, which possibly are sub
ject to slight revision, indicate that
the production in 1911 was 1881 SAB
tons. This is les than the production
in 1910.
The figures for the last five years
are as follows: 1907, 7,574,322 tons;
1908, 7,161.310 tons; 1909, 7,757,762
tons; 1910, 7,92S,12O tons; 1911, Z.
331 ,64S tons.
The production in 1911 has been ex.
ceeded during the history of coal
mining in the state in only three
years, namely, 1907, 1909 and 1910,
The value of the coal at the mines in
1911 was $l2,663,507, whereas in 1911
the value was $13,9O3,913.
In 1911 the five leading counties in
order of rank, were: Monroe, 3,402,-
743 tons; Polk, 2,72s,625 tons; APP
panoose. 2,1O2,4S5 tons: Mahaska, l..
LUU,llt tOuS, Ddlldo, iOl,oUO lOHo.
This order differs from that of 1910
only in that Jasper instead of Dallas
ranked fifth in 1910. Each of the
four leading counties produced less
in 1911 than in 1910.
The average price of the coal at
the mines in 1911 was $1.7S ton,
which is higher than in any previous
year except in 1910, when the aver
age price was $1.75 a ton.
The average number of men EN-.
ployed in 1911 in the coal mines of
Iowa was 1859; in 1910 the number
was 1866.
The amount of crude gypsum mined
in Iowa in 1911 was greater than in
1910, but the value of the gypsum
sold, crude and calcined, was less in
1911 than in 1910. The figures for
the two years are as follows: 1910,
$943,S49: 1911, $S71,752.
1t is gratifying to find that the
three cement plants of Iowa produc-
ed in 1911 almost 100000 barrels Of
cement. Two of the plants are at
Mason City and one at Des Moines.
The figures for the other mineral
products will soon be compiled and
published.

Iowa Good Road Movement.

Iowa has taken a prominent part IL
the good roads movement. The state
has taken the lead in the improve
ment of highways in western and
southern states Other sections of
the country are now adopting the
methods Of the Iowa good roads en-
thusiasts in ;:sing the road drag. E:i-
dences of this are to be seen in all
the middle west. In many sections.
the road drag was an unknown guam
tity until its use became so prevalent
in Iowa and the results proved to sat
isfactory. Dragged roads in Iowa
mean many thousands of dollars to
the state. The maintenance of we'll
dragged roads is only start. 1t will
lead in time to system of well-estab-
lished permanent highways through
out the state. Until that time comes
