B Stickney of the Chicago Great Western railway company, testifying for the deTcnse before the interstate commeice commission today regard.ng the rates on live stock and livestock products from the Missouri river to Chicago. In answer to a quest Ion as to how the charges were made, President Stickney replied:“In tixingnhe rate on dressed moat we don’t have very much 10 say. The packer generally makes the rate. He comes to you and always makes yon feel that he is your friend Then he asks you how much you charge for certain shipments of dressed meats. The published tariff may be 23 cents per hundred, but he will not pay that, “You say to him: ‘I will carry your meat for IS cents.’“He says: ‘O, no, you won’t. I won't pay that.'“Then you say: ‘Then what will you pay for it?’“He then replies: ‘I can get ithauled for Iff cents “So you haul it for 1(1 cents per hundred. He generally tells you that if you want the business you must haul the meat for the price he names ” President Stickney denied that his road had paid any claims for damages or rebates since the Grosscup Injunction.t once- Don’t neglect to j ^• •prtttjs^t yQMr-.family now.

NEWCOMER,AgentOBITUARY,Hilbert Henry Jonker was born on the 20th day of .Tune, 1811, at Mepel, Holland, and died at the home of hlB daughter, in Eldora, Iowa,-on Monday, September 18,1005. aged eighty-eight years and three months.For some time Mr. Jonker had been feeble, but the end came at last rather suddenly at an early hour on Sept. 18th. He was only coniined to his room fora few davs, and during that time had the constant care of his loving children.In the year 1840 In Holland he was married to Cornetea Frederica von Stein. While they lived In Holland three children were born to them, and in 1845 Mr. Jonker moved with his family to Bremen, Germany. Soon after this under the preaching of Ludwig S. Jacoby D. D., the lirst missionary sent by the Methodfst Episcopal church to Germany, he was converted, joined that church, aud lias all his life since been an earnest Christian aud a falthfui member of the church.Thinks Ho Was Misunderstood on Corn Crop—He Agrees With CownleEXPRESSES BELIEF OF 80 PER GENT.He Explains Standard, Three Stalks to a HIH, Will Be More Nearly Approached Than Before,Says the Register and Leader: Because of contradictory rumors which have gone about regarding Ills position on the Iowa corn crop, John R. Sage, of the Iowa weather and crop bureau, Is considerably nettled and believes that his statements have been misquoted that bis work on the crop bureau misunderstood.“Why, just the other day. said Mr. Sage, a farmer stopped at my door and told me that the farmers in his section of the country were taking exceptions to my predictions of the corn crop. I told the man that I had made no predictions, but asked him what he had heard as to my statements. He told me that he had been told by the farmers that, I had predicted a corn crop of 4-00,000,0Clt;) busheis. How, I have made no predictions at all. I have never ventured an opinion as to the size of the corn crop of Iowa and therefore the tigures accredited to me were false.”Mr Sage wants if made plain that he has never ventured a predict Ion on the size of the present crop He has stated that he believed the crop would he larger than that of last year, but iu bushels lie lias never p'tdieted.“It has always been against my policy, said Mr Sage, “10 make a prediction as to the size of the crop, 1 believe that this year we will have a larger crop than we had last year, but I believe this from t lie reports of conditions I have received.- 4fi .W Per Ccnl Crop.I have noquurrei with John Cow-nie, who, I understand, is the government reporter from this state. On some things we agree. I think lie is substantially right wheo he says wo will have a stand of about 80 per cent, but this is a long ways from predicting the amount of a crop. The matter of stand in corn has been preached by Professor Holden on his seed corn trips and Iowa can never expect to have a perfect stand. The stand we will have tills year, a three-fourths stand, will mean that we throw our every fourth hill in a cornfield as bad and accept the remaining three as good in order to make the estimate. It is not possible to have every hill perfect, that Is, a stand of three stalks to the hill in every hill with machine planting. It could be done by hand, but not by machinery. Last year we had a stand of (17 per cent This year I believe we will have 80 per cent.Now, what I say in regard to the reports of the crop at Washington is this: If the reports there show that Iowa is lower on the list than Illinois, Kansas and Missouri, the reports are wrong. I have the reports before me in the office. I know that Missouri has had a drought and that the weather conditions In the other state’s have not been such as to make them a better showing, than Iowa. I believe that Iowa will be abreast of them, and I do not think that the reports at Washing ton are correct. Whv. no one wouldTHOSE DOCTORS.Now that Phenomenal Kraus” and most of his cqrps of assistants have gone away, and with a “bar’)” of Marshalltown money, the question, “What is the secret of their phenomenal success?” Is pertinent. We have reference particularly In this connection to their success in drawing big crowds—and making money.Advertising is the key to the whole business How many Marshalltown people knew Drs. Kraus and Anse'hne before they came, or of the remarkable cures they had previously and elsewhere effected, exccptas they read of them in the newspapers? And every. line nf this very entertaining reading matter, both before and since the arrival of these doctors, was paid for at the regular advertising rates. Furthermore, their advertlsingtbills were paid promptly, cheerfully and without one kick. They regard advertising as a better investment than any gold mine, far better than government bonds and equally safe. And why should they not? They reap enormous returns from it, Without its potent and far reaching power they would still be in obscurity, if not in poverty. It is their road to riches. Why should they not travel It?Newspapers have stated and reiterated, time and time again, that “it pays to advertise.'' They have demonstrated it beyond ail question. Still there are a lot of people who think the newspapers say this because of selfish interest, that it is their merit um of making money and therefore it is but natural that they should exploit it But In this one instance alone of “Phenomenal Kraus” we think it has lias been strikingly proven that the prod is accrued to the advertiser rather than to tlie advertising medium, the ’ ew-papers.In Kraus and his men have an ar t-icl- to sell. It; is notour purpose to disco ss Its merits, its efficacy as a re no ecly for human Ills. Its proprietors doubtless have great faith in its eura tlvi qualities, but their success depends upon their ability to inspire just as great faith or a greater in the minds of the public. And they do this by lavish and judicious advertising. ,R seems to us there is a lesson in all this that our home physicians might heed to their lasting ad van tage. They are men who are thor ouglily posted in their profession, graduates of the best universities and possessed of diplomas of the highest class, They thoroughly undarstand the diagnosing of disease and the pro scribing of remedies, They would quickly resent as an insult If not a libel any intimation that their medl cines are not fully as efficacious as those of “Phenomenal Kraus.”Why, then, do they not use the same means to Impress these facts upon these people that Dr. Kraus does? The answer is the old, threadbare statement that It is contrary to the time honored ethics of the profes slon. Pride, therefore, keeps many a competent physician poor all Ills life while If he would cut loose from tills unreasonable and unjust restriction lie might achieve both fame and wealth In a comparatively short, timeWe have said that “Phenomenal Kraus” gained the conlldenee of the people. He did more than that, however, lie gained their good will Our local doctors can do the same thing If they adopt the same methods and once tlu-y have secured the good will of tile public they are on the high road to permanent success and nfflu ence.—J.
