CRESTON, la, June 1.—(Special)— Common fleld corn, If properly kept will re- taln its fertility and be suitable for seed for twenty-five years at least. This was demonstrated by Willlam Schronover, a farmer living north of Villlsca, who this spring planted some corn which had been gathered for twenty-five years and kept in a dry place. He planted the seed as an experiment and was somewhat surprised when it germinated and brought forth as good a stand as seed gathered last year. Only a few grains of the old corn refused to grow, and he is now wondering how much longer it would have retained its virllity. Comments of the Iowa Pres Bloux City Journal: J. E.

The Great Eastern Newapaper league, managed by a man named King, who stopped with his carload of fakirs in Cedar Rapids over Sunday a couple of years ago and tried to work the Commerclal club, received some- thing like $37,600 from Balllet.

They are calling down the base ball game, the theater,. etc,, but it is not recorded 'that they notice the fellows who sit around on the street all day Sunday and make re- marks about the women who pass. On that ast great day there may even be some Sunday base ball players among the chosen, while these curbstone comedlans may get beautifully left. Just where benefit leaves off and harm begins in this matter of Sun- day observance is a question of never-end- ing dispute. Audubon Republican: One of the best postcd men in th's section of the state, & man of mature years, a capitalist who has made his money by the exercise of his own good judgment and fortunate invest- ments, recently stated to us his opinion that lowa land at present prices is an ex- cellent investment. The population of this country is gradually but steadily increas- ing. America has passed the point when it is only an agricultural country and is becoming a great manufacturing nation. Our_manufactured goods have entered the markets of the far away countries of all the world and are successfully competing with the manufactures of other countries. This class of trade has gone forward the last few years by leaps and bounds. The balance of trade is recently tremendously in our favor. All this calls for bigger American cities, bigger Amgrican markets for our farm ucts, and they n turn sh up the price of good farm land. The nish war seemed to break over the old _channels of trade to some extent and 1o bring the American nation into world notice, pushing forward its business. Then area of good corn land is limited.

Dr. Newman has also served as mec- retary of the state senate the last two sessions of that body and in all of his of- ficlal capacities he has executed his dutles with credit to himself and to the state as well. lowa State News Notes.

[ fon of an Idaho paper | MULCTS THE CORPORATION Supreme Oourt Says Twin Oity Railway Must Bettle Holman Olaim, COUNTY MUST PAY SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS Jasper Held Liable for Certificates Issued by Newto: a R (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 1l.—(Speclal.)—The supreme court yesterday afirmed the rul- ing of the lower court in the Emma Holman case against the Omaha & Council Blufts Rallway and Bridge company in which a verdict of $12,000 damages was rendered in the court in Council Bluffs. Plaintiff had sued for damages for in- juries sustained because the company had stopped an electric car suddenly, throwing her against a ralling and causing injuries from which she died. Pending the appeal the plaintift has died and the administrator of the estate has been substituted. Appeal was on the ground that the action was not commenced until after the limit, but it was shown that Superintendent Dimmock had waived the statute of limitations when he had & right to do it and it was binding on the company, and hence the verdict for $12,- 000 is not disturbed. A verdict of $1,500 in a libel suit from this county was also affirmed. Henry Wal- lace, former editor of the Homestead, had obtained judgment against the Homestead for damages for libel which was printed while their various ncwspaper quarrels were hot. Special Assessment of County Property The court made an important ruling in & case from Jasper county, involving the right of a city to make speclal assessments against county property. The Edwards & Walker construction company had recelved certificates from Newton for paving around the county courthouse square and the county had refused to pay the same. The company sued both the city and the county. The court holds the county liable and that it cannot escape payment of the special as- sessmenta. The court decisions were: C. M.

AMERICANS LIKE HERBERT Washington Sentiment is Favorable Toward Him as Successor to Late Lord Pauncefote. WASHINGTON, June ‘The question of the succession to the place in the British embassy here vacated by the death of Lord Pauncefote is attracting attention in offi- clal circles to an unprecedented degree. It 1s the custom of governments before such appointments to consult the govern- ment to which the ambassador is to be ac- credited before making a selection, in or- der to Insure a favorable reception of the appointee. In the present case there has Dot been the slightest hint or suggestion to indicate the purpose of the British govern- ment. This fact I8 explained by the state- ment that the Foreign office officiale had such favorable news of the condition of\the late ambassador up to the very moment of his death that they had not felt it neces- sary to even contemplate the selection of a successor. In this state of affairs the officials here are obliged to look entirely to the news dis- patches from London for indications of the personality of the new ambassador. The names of the persons mentioned in the Assoclated Press dispatches of last night are all favorably received by the off- clals here who are acquainted with them either personally or through their records in the British diplomatic service and it may be stated on the highest authority that the president will cheerfully receive any one of them as persona grata. The weight of opinion here sustalns the judgment expressed in the London dls- patches that Michael Herbert, now eecre- tary and minister at Paris, will receive the appointment as Lord Pauncefote's succes- sor, although the fleld is still regarded as open. The family of the deceased ambassador already is arranging to return to England, although it may be a month or six weeks before Lady Pauncefote and her daughter sail. DECIDE TO BOLT STRIKERS Engineers, Firemen and Pumpmen at Scranton Retuse to Quit Work. WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 1—President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers re- turned to this city today after a week's absence in the west. Mr. Mitchell said his trip to the west had nothing to do with bringing about a settlement of the strike in the anthracite region. The engineers, firemen and pumpmen from Ashley and vicinity held a meeting in this city today and & resolution endorsing the strike was adopted by a two-thirds vote. At a meeting of the engineers, firemen and pumpmen employed at the collleries fn Plymouth this afternoon the strike order was endorsed by a vote of ninety-two to nothing. All the hotels in the city are filling up with strange men. Many of them are sald to be machinists having knowledge of all kinds of machinery. The operators claim they are prepared in case all the engineers, firemen and pumpmen should go out to fill their places with competent men. A committee representing the 400 engi- neers, firemen and pumpmen of the Lack- awanna region, who are opposed to a strike, came to Wilkesbarre tonight to endeavor to have the strike order rescinded. The ocom- mittee met President Mitchell and District Presidents Nichols, Fahey and Duffy. After a lengthy conference, in which the commit- tee presented its reasons for asking to have the order rescinded, the United Mine Workers' leaders decided unanimously that the order must stand. The Scranton dele- gation then returned home with the avowed intention of lgnoring the strike order. Decoration for Goodnow.

Beginning in June The Bee will publish & remarka. ble series of lllustrated letters from Frank G. Car penter on what the Yankees are doing in Burope and on the changes which are going onin that con- tinent. The old Burope is fast passing away and & new country and people are taking its place. Trade conditions are rapldly changing. The people are shaking off their Rip Van Win- Kkl sloep of ages, and beginning to realise that the Amerioan Giant of the West has girded his loins and is ready to fight with them for all that is werth having of this world and thie werld's goods. The fight indeed has already begun, and even at:its starting it is in the favor of the West. The greatest ocountries .of Europe are attempting to combat it. Thelr parilaments already refer to it as ‘The American Invasion,” the Emperor of Germany has called it the “Geeat American Peril,” and the Boards of Trade and Manufacturers of HEngland stand aghast at the prospect. In Great Britatn, Germany, France, Russia, Holland and Belgium as well a» in the other countries of Continental Hurope, this increase of American com- merce is steadily going on. The Yankee Exporter has put on the Seven Leagué Boots of the Twentieth Century, and he is going forth like an electrical dynamo 10 breeches. “He is just now at the beginning of his journey and those who know him best are sure he will not stop until he has distanced all others on the gTeat race track of the world.

In German Mr. Carpenter will Investigate the condition of the American Hog and show how not the farmers, but ‘the Tich land holders are fighting against its importation. He i will describe how Germany 18 trying to cepture the Ooean TR 0D by building the best and fastest ships now afloat, and wiil make one letter on Kaiser Wilhelm #s the Great Tnterna~ tional Drummer who is pushing Germany's trade and business In every way. He will picture Berlin as it is in this year 1%02, and traveling over eastern and tern Germany will compare their laborers with our workmen and describe the wonderful technical schools which the Emperor has instituted to ald him in making the commercial conquest of the world. Mr. Carpenter’s letters from Russia cannot but be of-the greatest interest. The Russians next to the Americans are the coming people of the world of the future.

Its factories, rather than its casties will form the material of Mr. Carpenters let- ters and he will carry us along e¢n boats loaded: ‘with American meat, wheat and cotton rather than on the ®ocenid plensure steamers of thas famous river. North- ern and Soythern Germany will give many out of the way letters and Hamburg, the great free port of Continental Europe, and its-vast trade-with the United Btates will be especiaily interesting.
