Senate Believes Ten Men are Sufic-

House Set Six as Limit.
RECOMMEND DISTANCE TARIFF
BY Vote Of II to Z, Transportation
Committee Goes On Record For
Cashman.D Dunn Bill.
~ United 21sss.


St. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 21.--After a
three hour session Of the senate grain
probe committee, Thursday afternoon
during all of which time John G.. Nc
Hugh, secretary of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce was on the
stand. the members Of the committee
concluded that the hearings would
have to be expedited if anything was
going to be accomplished.
The fact that Thursdays session
accomplished nothing is due to Benz.
Drake, a Minneapolis attorney, who
was extended the courtesy of being
permitted to examine Mr.. McHugh
after the latter had testified under
the questions put to him by Hugh V.
Mercer, attorney for the Chamber of
Commerce, and the members of the
committee.
Yesterday afternoon there were
only three committee members pres
ent. Senators Lende and A. L. Olson
overruled Senator Works and Attor-
ney Drake was permitted to quiz Mr..
McHugh. Senators Sullivan and V. L.
johnson came in later and made no
objection, although they several times
voted with Chairman Works that the
questions were immaterial, inasmuch
as they pertained entirely to exist
ing rules of the chamber, which were
already in evidence, and over which
there was no dispute.
Favor Majority Verdict.
The senate Wednesday afternoon in
committee of the whole recommended
to pass the bill by Representative
Porter allowing ten members of a
jury to bring in verdict, where the
Jury has been unable to reach a un-
animous decision after being out
twelve hours.
The bill as it passed the house, set
the limit at six hours, but the senate,
judiciary committee amended it so as
to double the time limit.
Distance Tariff Recommended.
The house transportation commit
tee Thursday, by vote Of II to T.,
voted to recommend the distance tar
if bill introduced in the house by H.
II. Dunn of Albert Lea, for passage.
Mr.. Dunn made motion to recon-
mend that the bill be made special
order at II a. m. next Wednesday,
but withdrew the motion and an
nounced that he will make this mo-
ton directly in the house.
Should this motion carry the house
will reach a vote on the measure a
week before the senate does, the SEN
ate having postponed the special ord

until p. m. March S.

Keosauqua Republican: Friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Schreckengost
inform US that they expect their re-
turn to Keosauqua by March LIST. Mr.
and Mrs. Schreckengost, like tnous-
ands of others, were lured TO move
to California not long ago by sthe col
ored. extravagant and oyerworked
advertisement of that state, as hay-
ing heavenly rather than an earthly
climate, where the streets and side.
walks are paved with flowers, fruit
so plentiful and cheap that II rolls
automatically into the doors of homes,
and the climate so balmy that one
can go calling on neighbors clad as

the reality proved opposite. SO Char.

REPUBLICAN VICTORIES.

There is an unfortunate tendency in
the human mind to accept as a fact
some brief and emphatic statement,
uttered by one in authority, even when
there is no truth i'll the assertion.
Thus Senator Bailey's declaration that
the republican party has disintegrated
obtains wide publicity. With him the
wish was father to the thought. Moth
ing would please the eld-line demo-
Gratis so much as the disappearance of
the republican party. Anyone who
will study the election returns will dis
cover, however, that several things
happened last November beside the
victory of Mr.. Wilson. Maine, West
Virginia, Idaho. Iowa, Massachusetts,
Michigan. Minnesota. Nebraska, New
Mexico, Rhode Island and South Da-
kota elected republican legislatures,
which have chosen or will choose re-
publican United States senators, in
two instances displacing democrats.
These eleven states, with the excep-
tioh of Michigan, which went for
Roosevelt, cast their electoral votes
for the democratic presidential can
didate. In addition to this, Delaware,
Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, North Da-
hOJd duu NlSCOuSlu, Win pOSSlUls
other states, elected republican gov
ernors, Kansas came within an ace
of being within tie same list, because
out of a total of ,049 votes the
democratic candidate for governor
won by the narrow majority of thirty
one.
These are some of the facts and
conditions which are not generally
known, but which should be given the
widest publicity. They mean that the
republican organization, so far as
these states are concerned, was not
seriously disturbed. More than this,
there is every reason to believe that
when the republicans of every state
municipality and county come TO real
ize that If they place separate tickets
In the field II will insure democratic
occupancy of all the offices every
where, they will at least unite to pre-
serve control of their local administra-
ton. Political observers in Washing
ton, who view the situation from a
practical standpoint, believe that the
getting-tOgether process will thus be-
gin at the bottom, SO to speak. rather
than to accomplish through national
conferences or the solemn conclaves
'of few self-constituted leaders. This
Us a phase of the political problem
which is certainly worthy of serious
consideration. H.a

THE GERMANS Faith.

Declaring that the Prussians were
an oppressed and dismembered folk
in 1906 as a consequence of Gods
| Judgment, because they had lost
faith In Him, the German emperor
at a memorial service at Berlin Uni
lversity on Sunday delivered char
lacteristic speech, warning the present
generation of Germans not to forget
the faith of their fathers.
The Kaisers words are character
istic of the studry Germans. While
they are seldom if ever very demon
strative over their religion, they never
lose faith in a Divine Being. and as
history discloses, the nation has
fought as many wars to preserve the
as it has for the acquisition of ter
ritofy >.
The Emperor further asserted that
the Germans of to-day were inclined
to believe only in tangible things and
to place difficulties in religions way.
They should study history, he said,
and see how the RUSSIANS regained
their old faith and fought the far OF
liberation, whose glorious result was
not mans work, but Gods work.
So. continued the emperor, I'VE
have in the history OF the past Ger
tain proof of Gods guidance, and that
He was and still is with us. And
with this teaching of the past the
whole German youth can forge in its
fire the tried shield of faith, which
must never be lacking in the arlnory
of Germans and Prussians. y
With such weapons, looking neither
to the right nor to the left. we will go
our direct way, eyes uplifted and
hearts uplifted with trust in God.
Then we can all repeat the great
words:
&c We Germans fear God and nothing
else in the world

HOW WEAR u WELL" SHOES
ARE DISTRIBUTED.

"Wear-U- Wclr' shoes are sold only
in "Wcar-U-Well" factory bra h
stores. i"
Wear u Well branches are mere
Nv distributing stations through which
the "Wear-U- Well shoe factories
place their product at your door and
are not intended to and do not make
profit Therefore, when you buy
Wear u Well shoes you pay only a
small manufacturing profit. with the
lowest possible cost for direct distribu-
ton added.
Here are some of the ways we re-
duce the cost of distribution:
4 Low Rent-The small price of
our shoes, and the quality, brings the
shrewd buyer to our door, even II II
is on a side street-we pay no big
rents.
No Costly FiNturcs-NO interior fix
lures or shelving shown in ORR
ginal cases as received from factory;
no private office. no waiting rooms
no unnecessary expense in furnishing.
Cash Business-No bad debts added
to the cost of Your shoes-no book
keeping or collectors to pay.
Economical Management - Enough
help to serve tie trade. but no idlers.
The manager. a man of business abil-
ity and character, is Interested in the
manufacturing profits.
You have now the "Near-U-WciF'
system. 1t is. in a nutshell, making
shoes in immense quantities at sma II
manufacturing profit, and selling them
direct to the wearer.
1t is a great system and like all
great things, it is simple.
In shoes, it has solved the high
cost of living problem.

RESOURCES OF IOWA.

The United States Geological Sur
vey has just issued a comprehensive
and very practical report on the I'M
dergrOund water resources of Iowa,
prepared in cooperation with the Iowa
Geological Survey, by W. II. Norton,
w. s. HENDERSON, II. f. Simpson, y.
K. Meinzers and others. This report
issued as Water Supply Paper 293,
contains a full description of the deep
seated artesian-water beds that uu-
derlie the state, with discussion OF
their depth below the surface, the
quantity, quality and artesian head of
their waters, and the difficulties that
will be encountered in lrilling to them.
This description is accompanied by
two maps and fourteen sections that
show the relations of the several
water beds and their depth below the
surface, as nearly as could be ascer-
tanned, for every point in the state.
II is based on one of the most thor
Iough Investigations of deep borings
that has ever been made for the pur.
pose of locating water supplies and
lis an excellent example OF the appli-
cation OF painstaking scientific meth
DDS to the solution of problems that
are wholly practical.
Prof. w. II. Norton, of Cornell Col
lege. the senior author of the report,
under whose general direction II has
been prepared, has made a lifetime
study of the geology of Iowa in its re-
lation to the important artesiaD sup
plies Of the state. His advice Is con-
|stantly sought by municipalities. man
Iufacturing enterprises and others re-
quiring supply OF pure water. The
section on artesiaD water in Water
Supply Paper 293 especially repre-
SCENTS Prof. Norton,s latest conclu'
sions.
In the northwestern part OF Iowa
most OF the drilled wells end in sand
and are provided with strainers which
rapidly become incrusted. The inves-
legations made by the United States
Geological Survey show that some Of
tle methods used in that part Of the
state are very poorly adapted TO the
conditions which exist there, and a
number of suggestions for making
wells are given In the report.
In many parts Of Iowa thele are
serious difficulties In obtaining ade-
quate and satisfactory supplies for the
public water works. Town councils
often sent committees TO the nearest
cities which have deep wells to obtain
such facts as may throw light on their
local problems Information thus

They then buy the shoes with these
two big profits added and take final

MINISTERS IN COUNCIL
The County Organizations Enjoyed
Meeting in 0skaloosa Monday.

A meeting of the Mahaska County
Minister'S Council was held at the
Y. M. G.. A. rooms on Monday. This
is an organization of the active and
retired ministers of the county and
the session just held was the second
since the organization short time
age. The idea of the Council is to
bring the ministers of the county into
closer fraternal relations and by an
Interchange of ideas, get at the best
methods of doing church work and
caring for the needs of the people.
On Monday the Council were the
guests of the Oskaloosa Ministerial
Association and the session opened at
III O'Clock a. M, with devotional ex~
ercises by DIR. |. o. Kemble. Presi-
dent Rev. Alfred Cave of the Congre-
gational church presided and the
morning hour was taken up with a
discussion on the making of a SER
mon by Rev. S. j. Malone and fol-
lowed by others. During the noon
intermission the members of the
Council were entertained at Dolls
restaurant at dinner and sixteen sat
down together at the tables.
After dinner a paper was present
ed on The mission of the Country
Church." by Rev. Alfred Cave. and
this was afterward discussed. Rev.
w. S. Gardner of New Sharon read
paper on the Religious, Education
of Our Youth" which was also dis
cussed by those present. During the
session a telegram was ordered sent
to President w. H. Taft at Washing
ton, in the name of the Council. urg-
ing him not to veto the Webb bill,
recently passed by decided major
ity by both senate and house.
Among those present from outside
of Oskaloosa were Rev. w. S. Gard
ner of New Sharon, Rev. w. II. BOte-
lar of New Sharon, Rev. T. G. Elar-
gis of New Sharon, and Rev. o. b.
Smith of Evans. A total of twenty
were present during the session and
practically all of the pastors OF the
city were present. This meeting of
the Council was great success and
very enjoyable and the attendance is
growing and it is hoped that all OF
the preachers of the county will avail
themselves of social and intellectual
benefits that accrue to the individual
pastor by meetings of this character.
