a report sent from Des Moines
tha the corn acreagoutha been cut down
by the heavy rains during May. The
demand for tested seed corn has been
unprecedented, tho it has sold for from
$5 to $10 a bushel.
The reports of-railroad traffic man
agers, covering northwest Iowa, north
east Nebraska, a'n-d southern South Da
kota, sent out today, say that some corn
was washed out by the rains, but the
work of preparing the ground, plant
ing and replanting, is being pushed vig
orously. Some farmers have finished
planting, but about SO per cent of the
seed is not yet in the* grou'n'd. The
acreage will be larger than last year.
On high ground the stand is good and
plants are thriving, but on the lowlands
the condition of the corn varies from
fair to very bad.
Wheat on bottom lands has suffered
some by the rains an'd some red rust
has been seen already. Flies are also
reported to be working in some locali
ties, but generally the prospects for a
large crop are good.
Rye, oats, clover and timothy con

many hay fields the weeds have been
given a good start. Potatoes and gar

PAN-HANDLER APPEARS
IN THE KOCH CASE
Special to The Journal.
New Ulm, June 3.A mild attempt
at extortion in connection with the trial
of Dr. Koch comes to light. A man
claiming to be a resident of Mankato
came here yesterday and, after locating
the residences of those whom he wished
to see, spent the evening in getting ac
quainted with his men. Today he ap
proached A. P. Brooks, chief witness
for the defense, with a story that he
had some important information to give
him. Asked as to his character, he said
it related to the coming trial, and inti
mated that he had overheard the attor
neys for the state planning to cause the
arrest of Mr. Brooks.
He then stated that he was a cripple
and that he was trying to raise enough
jnoney to buy himself a wagon and horse
so that he could go thru the country
collecting rags and iron, and would like
some assistance. Mr. Brooks gave him
a quarter to get a meal with. The man
went to the office of Henry N. Somsen
with the same story, and from there to
the office of Dr. Koch, but at both
places he was turned down. He claims
to have been in the office of the county
attorney of Blue Earth county and to
have overheard Mr. Childs and Mr. Wil
son planning to have Mr. Brooks in
dicted on the ground that he was not
telling what he knows. More than this,
the man says, they argued that there
would be no chance of the defendant's
getting off at the coming trial, as they,
were in a position to know what men to
Eelect for a jury, and the next jury
Would be with them.
Mr. Somsen believes the man did, per
haps, hear something, but that he is
using what little knowlege he has of the
case to extort money from the defense.
GOVERNMENT SAVES
i BIG TREES OF WEST
Washington, June 8.The United
States bureau of forestry has reached
the stage in its experiments looking to
the reproduction of the famous "big
trees',' of California, to make the posi
tive announcement that contrary to
prevalent belief, this race of forest
inonarchs need not become extinct but
may be greatly multiplied. In a bulle
tin issued today it is said the trees
seed freely, but that the seeds rarely
germinate excepWsvhen they fall where
the ground recently has been burned
over. Once started the young growth
needs only a moderate amount of
light and protection from fire and stock
grazing. Healthy young growth, it is
stated, is rare, but in some sections
there are plenty of seedlings. It is
proposed to remove some of these to
localities best suited to their growth.
The first extensive transplanting of the
big trees has been accomplished in the
General Grant National park, Califor
nia.

PARTY IS RAISED
Washington Writer Says Time Is
Ripe for Party for All
Conservatives.
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, June 3.Altho'it is cus
tomary, whenever political affairs are
any degree unsatisfactory, to declare
the time ripe for a new party, making
the suggestion somewhat threadbare.
Eugene Newman* of this city, who writes
under the name "Savoyard," offers an
argument for the formation of a new
partv, in an article which has attracted
considerable attention in political cir
cles here.
He shows that the democratic party
is composed of two hopelessly irrecon
cilable elements, the radicals and the
conservatives, and that it is of n*o use
for them to try to live together any
longer. In 1896 and 1900 democratic
conservatives preferred McKinley to
Bryan, and their party was defeated
overwhelmingly in 1604 democratic
democratic factions to last
radicals preferred Eoosevelt to Parker, place to place by a mule train and a
and their party was defeated still corps of servants. The work consists
worse. Now 1*908 is coming on, with of photographing the natural and culti-
alterating claims for the mastery of the vated flora and fauna of the island. His
party, and with the certainty that the headquarters are the meterological ob-
wing which is defeated will throw its servatory, which is one of the build-
strength to the republicans. How ings formerly used by the Spanish sol-
much longer is this see-sawing of the diers and now used for scientific pur
poses. The photographs will be used
for government records and for exploit
ing the advantages of the island in oth- Conservative Party Proposed
Mr. Newman proposes the organiza- j^^^if*
tion of a party which might properly be
called the conservative, and which
should furnish a home for the so-called
gold democrats of the north, and for
those republicans, who, fearing certain
present tendencies of the republican
party, are still distrustful of the
democracy's tendency toward radical
ism. Such a party would in a peculiar
degree prove welcome to the democrats
of the south. They have everything
to lose and nothing to gain by the rapid
consolidation of federal power, giving
the control of the country to the
stronger section, which will always be
the north. The south's aim is to pre
serve as much local power as possible, in
order that it may not be overshadowed
by the more powerful north.
Democratic Extremes.
Mr. Newman by no means exhausts
the subject. It has been notorious for
sometime that the democratic party
counted among its followers both ex
tremes on the issue which is seemingly
destined to be the dominant one in
American politics in the near future.
It has the old-afshioned conservatives
of th type of the late J. Sterling Mor
ton, who believe in as little government
as possible. It included, on the other,
hand, the thousands who have just
voted for municipal ownership in Chi
cago, and who are agitating for gov
ernment ownership of railroads and tel
egraphs. These people generally want
a big navy jfor the sake of making
work, and short they will go much
further than even the present republi
can administration in the increase of
federal powers and other concentrating
tendencies. Mr. Hearst is a prominent
exponent of this school of democratic
politics. As ex-Senator Lindsey of
Kentucky, who was in the city a few
days ago, remarked: "What future
can there be to a party whose two
wings are pulling in wholly opposite
directions? One wing wants more gov
ernment and the other less govern-
ment."
Something in the Name.
Such a new party as Mr. Newman
proposes would have one great advant
age which he does not mention over the
present democratic party, even under
its most conservative.' auspices. It
would dispense with a name which has
been associated with many historical
policies that are not remembered with
favor-by a large body of northern vot
ers. It would thus sever some unpleas
ant associations. It would cut loose
from the cheap-money tradition which
with few exceptions, has lurked in the
democratic ranks ever since .the civil
war. Such party would have plenty of
room for differences with conservative
republicanism.
PITTSBURG THEATERS
ARE PREY TO FLAMES
Pittsburg, Pa., June 3.One of the
most exciting and spectacular fires that
has visited Pittsburg in recent years
broke out in the Avenue theater yes
terday and before it was subdued had
practically destroyed the Avenue and
partially wrecked the Grand opera
house adjoining, but fortunately no
panic resulted and no lives were lost.
The loss will reach $150,000, fully in
sured. The cause of the fire is be
lieved to be traceable to crossed wires.
There was no excitement in the
Grand operahouse whatever. The the
ater was about half filled and the ush
ers quietly went thru the audience, and
tapping people on the shoulder told
them to leave. The Avenue has been
closed for several weeks.

I am charmed by the country to a

word sent from Cuba by C. F. Potter
to friends in Minneapolis. Mr. Potter
of the firm of Hibbard & Potter, pho
tographers, left Minneapolis Jan. 26 to
accept a position as chief photographer
under the department of agriculture of
the new republic of Cuba. That his
work has been appreciated by the gov
ernment is shown by numerous marks
of favor from men foremost in the gov
ernment service.
In conducting his work, Mr. Potter is
left almost entirely to his own discre
tion. His province is practically the

not as bad as they are at Lake Calhoun

One of the pleasantest experiences
is visiting the Cuban grandees in their

sugar plantations the owners live in regal
style with a multitude of servants. The

Europe or America. As soon as Mr. Pot
ter's work draws him to the neighbor
hood of one of the plantations, he is
asked by the grandee to become a guest.
As Mr. Potter is a government official,
and as government officials are marked
personages, according to the Spanish,
rule, every possible courtesy and atten
tion is shown.
In the conclusion of a letter Mr. Pot
ter says: I fear that my descriptive
power's will never be sufficient to do
justice to this beautiful country of the

interesting to travelers in showing
what the class which is to be the most
greatly benefited by politeness on the
part of railway employees may expect
on the Great Northern line.
It reads: "The popularity of a rail
road depends, first, upon its efficiency
as a transportation line second, upon
the reputation of its employees for
the correctness, despatch and politeness
with which they discharge their duties
in dealing with the traveling and ship
ping public. Next to his loyalty to the
interests of the company, it should be
the aim of the employee to accommodate
the public, thereby making the line
popular and securing the patronage
upon which the railway depends for
support.
"In the transaction of the business
of every large enterprise, system and
method must prevail. Rules and regu
lations for the guidance of employees
are a recognized necessity. The public
appreciates this fact, and it is only in
the manner in which the rules are en
forced that there is cause for objection.
You represent the company by your
actions the company is judged. To bo

your services, and while the company
requires the enforcement of its rules in
the conduct of its business, you are ex

WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA?
TSPEPSIA is a term that has long been
listurbances of the digestive organs.
If the stomach is inflamed and digestion
:eases\ it is called dyspepsia.
If the saliva fails to perform its function,
It is called dyspepsia.
If the glands of the stomach dry up, and
no longer secrete the peptic juices,, it is
called dyspepsia.
Catarrh of the stomach is called dyspepsia.
It is really a form of dyspepsia.
How Catarrh Affects Digestion.
When catarrh attacks the mucous mem
branes of the stomach, the glands that
secrete the gastric juices are deranged, the
juice is rendered inert and perverted in its
gastric action.
No one can have a healthy stomach or anything like
a healthy' digestion so long as they have catarrh of the
stomach.
It is useless to try to remedy dyspepsia caused by catarrh
of the stomach by taking pepsin powders or other dyspepsia
remedies.
A Rational Treatment.
The first thing that must be done is to remove the catarrh,
when the dyspeptical symptoms will disappear.
The stomach that is free from catarrhal congestion will do
Its work properly.
Pe-ru-na, the Correct Remedy.
Peruna has become famous as a dyspepsia medioine only
because it cures catarrh of the stomach.
So many cases of dyspepsia depend upon catarrh of the
Stomach, that the two diseases are becoming confused in the
minds of many people.
Not a Dyspepsia Remedy.
In the ordinary sense, Peruna is not a dyspepsia remedy.
It cures thousands of cases of dyspepsia by curing ca
tarrh of the stomach, catarrh of the liver and catarrh of
ill the digestive organs.
Whenever anyone is troubled with dyspepsia any length
3f time, catarrh of the digestive organs may be suspected.
Do Not Waste Valuable Time.
There is no use in wasting time with other remedies.
Peruna reaches the spot at once and removes the cause.
Its cures are permanent, as it removes the cause.
Not a Cure-All.
Peruna is not a cure-ail. It cures one diseasethat dis
sase is catarrh.
However, catarrh makes itself known by such varied
symptoms, that its various forms appear to the unprofes
sional as so many different diseases. Catarrh is catarrh,
no matter in which part of the body it locates itself. Perur"
cured. I thank Peruna for the health I am enjoying."
