Gets Appointment on State Fish
Commission.

Col. R. T. St. John last Monday re-.
ceived his commission from State Game
Warden Henshaw, appointing him
deputy warden for Mitchell County and
for the state at large. Col St. John
was rendered charge of the fish hatch
cry at Spirit Lake, but for valid
reasons did not accept but took this
position instead.
Warden Henshaw has taken off many
of the local deputies and will cover the
territory as he thinks, more effectively
through his regular commissioners and
deputies at large. He is recommend.
ing the partitioning of the state into
districts, which if done will undoubt.
eddy place the Colonel over the north
east district. --Riceville Recorder.
Over in a neighboring town recently
a good woman arranged little sur
prise for her husband, prominent
deacon in one of the churches. The
occasion was his birthday, and the
minister and twenty member of the
congregation had been invited to par.
ticipate in the affair. AS previously
arranged the Deacon was called down
town at the appointed hour and during
his absence the guests assembled.
Then they turned out the lights and
kept as still as mice, intending to
greet him with shout when he ap
peared and struck light. He came in
at schedule time and was feeling his
way along the dark hall when his shins
came violently in contact with a piece
of furniture. "Wow!" he yelled, 'I'd
like to know who in the HI and
d-nation left that chair out here
again." ..-.

The New Tariff.

President Wilson and Democratic
leaders of the House ways and means
committee have reached agreement on
the terms of the administration tariff
bill to be presented to the extra ses-
sion of Congress to be convened on
Monday next. The President now is
holding conferences with leaders of the
Senate finance committee with pur-
pose to secure their agreement in the
measure, thus assuring it the support
of all Democrats and settling now all
question Of its passage. Whether the
bill shall be considered en- bloc, or
schedule by schedule, by the Congress,
will be determined by the Democrats
in caucuses. The latter will be held
after the Congress convenes.
1t is stated on what appears to be
high authority that the bill as agreed
to by Mr.. Underwood for the House
committee and by the President carries
these, among other provisions:
Free raw wool;
An average duty of IS per cent. on
the manufactures of wool;
Reduction of IS per cent. on cotton
manufactures;
Free boots and shoes;
A tax of cent a pound on raw
sugar, to be gradually reduced for
three years, when it will 60 on the
free list;
Free dressed meats, and duty of 10
per cent. on cattle;
A small duty on grain and hay and
dairy products;
Reduction of 80 to so per cent. in
the palmer grades of pottery and earth
enware;
Timber, shingles and laths, free;
Agricultural and harvesting ma
chinery free;
Free print paper and reductions. of
from 25 to SO per cent. on other grades
of paper.
This is by no means a complete
statement of the provisions Of the bill.
IL DlCS seven OIL LHe HlONopOl1SIIC
trusts terrific blows-the Beef, Steel,
Lumber, Harvester, Sugar, Wool and
Cotton Trusts. 1t is not by any means
a free trade measure. Apparently the
design in drafting it has been to pre-
vent the destruction of any domestic
industry and yet to bring the duties to
a competitive basis, putting American
industries on an equal basis with COM
peting foreign industries, but with
drawing all advantages from them and
compelling their reliance upon super
ior efficiency and skill for control Of
the market. ..
The bill will not satisfy free traders,
because it was not framed to please
them, for the party made no promise
of free trade in the platform.
That it will serve tremendously to
reduce the cost of living is obvious
from glance at the articles free list
ed. 1t will save to the pockets of con-
sumers on the single item of free
sugar alone, $500, 600, 900 year.-Du-

KocIAN IN ELMA.

A few years ago the eccentric George
Francis Train, who professed to be a
"crank,' and who according to all re-
ports, lived up to his profession, visit
ed Minneapolis while on a trans cont
mental lecture. He was greeted by a
small audience and when he stepped
out onto the stage and surveyed the
rows Of empty chairs he remarked:
''The greatest crank in the world is
here tonight and the darned sleepy old
town don't know it,
One of the worlds greatest violin
lists broke his fast in Elma last Sunday
morning and the town was none the
wiser until the erudite editor Of this
paper found his (the W. G. Vs. name
on the hotel register next morning.
Jaroslav Kocian, the famous Bohe-
milan violinist, and his pianist, M.
Haubiel, are making an American tour
and were billed for Protivin Sunday af-
ternoon, March 30th. They arrived in
Elma from Kansas City and drove from
Kansas City and drove from here to
Protivin. , ..
Kocian was not in good humor that
morning. He was exceedingly ner-
vous, as persons of artistic tempera-
ment such as musicians and newspaper
men are very often apt to be. He was
perturbed over the prospect of the long
drive over the muddy roads to Proti-
win and the fact that he had not been
able to make better connections for
his date. Mrs. Wentz, the obliging
landlady at the hotel Irwin, noticed his
detected demeanor, but She did not
know who he was. AS the old saying
goes, she did not "know him from
Adams off OK" She noticed he had
violin case with him which he carried
from the Office to the dining room and
placed beside his chair at the table.
She thought he was taking mighty
good care Of fiddle and thatvperhaps
if he were allowed to play he might
calm his ruf1ed nerves. She forth
with invited him to ''play some." She
did not realize that she was asking an
artist-aye, one Of the worlds great
est artists, who exhibits his artistic
skill only where the mazuma broadly
flows and between banks of potted
ferus (stage ferns) in front of a we'll
filed parquet circle-we say she did
not realize what she was doing when
asked this man to "play some" free
gratis between the kitchen and the
dining room.
Did he play?
No! .....f
He did not even answer!
He merely scowled!
He looked as though he would
like to smash his ten thousand dollar
Stradivarius over her Uranium.
Next day when Mrs. Wentz discover
ed the identity of her sguest and real
lied what she had done she blushed all
day long;
Kocian reached Protivin about one
o'clock Sunday afternoon and gave his
concert in Beseda hall, combination
opera house and assembly hall built at
cost of about $13. 1000, After the
concert there was a banquet at six
o'clock, at which our friend Barth.of
the Howard County Times was one of
the speakers along with Mr.. Kocian.
What do editors know about music any
bow, except the editors of the Etude
and the New York Clipper. s
We should say that the citizens of
Protivin deserve commentator for
their exceedingly good taste and for
their business enterprise in bringing
such talent to their patrons. -Elma

Boston, Mass.-The investigation
will involve high officials, is develop
ing rapidly, and more arrests were
expected.
With Terrence L. Shevlin, former
clerk, and his wife, out under bonds,
awaiting the action Of the grand jury,
Chief Wilkes men have another man
and woman under surveillance. This
woman, fashionably dressed, would
appear on the docking Of steamer
and, apparently fatigued, would sit
down upon the trunk containing the
struggled goods. She would then
paste upon it an official stamp, given
her by the confederate in the Gus
toms department. The man, in the
guise of a teamster, then would take
the trunk away.
These facts have been communi-
Gated to Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo. 1t was rumored here that
McAdoo would come to Boston to
direct the investigation.

Now that the whale fishers Who val
ued that denizen Of the deep merely
for his oil and his ambergris and his
bone have nearly depopuIated the
ocean Of whales. It Is beginning to
be realized that the abandoning Of the
colossal carcasses after these spoIls
mad been secured involved shock
ing waste-that the flesh of the whale
Is valuable for human food. The in
habitants Of West Africa, it is said.
always have been aware of this fact.
and have Toasted upon many whale
abandoned by the whalers and tossed
upon their coast. The Japanese can
the flesh OF the whale and esteem it
rs a delicacy. There seems to be
40 reason Whatever why hereafter It
should be wasted BY the seamen Of
any OF the nations which are engaged
IN the pursuit Of this monster OF the
deep. But think of the millions upon
millions Of tons Of good whale meat
that have been abandoned at seat
There is nothing to compare It with
but the ruthless slaughter Of the Amer
lean buffaloes for their hides that fol-
lowed the opening Of railroad commu-
nication with the Pacific slope, and
that in few years nearly ex.
tinguished the race Of those noble den

DOCTORS TO GET CURE"

German Savant Declares Government
Report Cannot But Be Favor
able to His Discovery

New York, N. Y. Apparently
convinced that the government physi-
clans would make a favorable report
Of his tuberculosis cure, DR.. F. f.
Friedman announced that within a
few days or a week the secret of his
turtle bacilli culture injection would
be given to the American medical
profession at large.
1--WE shall not tell the world how
to make the liquid for Injection" DR..
friedman said through his interpre-
ter, "as that would be dangerous to
the interests of the public. But we
shall arrange through regular chan
nels, so that all reputable physicians
may be able to obtain my remedy and
treat tuberculosis in all parts of the
country"
1t was explained that the much-dis-
cussed secret" withheld by DR.. Fried
mann is the method of transforming
the extract from the culture of bacilli
into the liquid injected into the pa
TENTS. In this process several foreign
substances are used, and without this
knowledge, possessed only by DR..
Frienmann and his representative In
Germany, he said, the remedy cannot
be given.
DR.. Friedman and his associates
would not discuss the plan for dis
tributing the remedy, but made 1t
clear that safeguards are being pro-
vided to prevent the indiscriminate
us of the remedy by indiscreet or in
experienced physicians"

posing to make 1t criminal for finger
bowls in public eating houses to be
used second time without having
been thoroughly cleansed. After half
an hours humorous debate the bill
was killed. The public is not ripe for
what look like super-refnements of
precaution growing out OF the germ
theory. OF course, however, nice peo-
pie will want perfectly clean finger
bowls or none at all.
