Iowa is rid of the clever forger. H owns rol??s ed from Ft. Madison, Iowa., two days l>efore Christmas In 1907, after serving five years in prison on charge of ! obtaining money on false pretense. 1 He Is an enigma to detectives and , has left more forged checks and pa- i pers than ever before as it Is known he has oj#*ated in other states and served several terms in penitentiari- ' es. Seligman is about 3 5 years of age, smooth faced and with a good front. Seligman let no grass grow under i his feet when he was released in ' Iowa. He headed for Chicago at i once and before his curves were known he was doing business at a i rapid rate for tho National Life Insurance company. Ho forged names i right and left and embezzled whereover he got the chance. He made a hasty getaway for Cincinnati, O.. in February and there began to work on his old plan. He was first arrested for falling to pay a board bill but a former employer camo to his aid and he was released. Then he began to forge on a grand scale and to work everything and everybody in sight. In a remarkabbly short time the slick penman had secured $50,000 by forging the names of Dr. Stlx and M. E. Moch, of the firm Moch, Herman & Co. Beforo they knew him he w'as Introduced to tho Hi|siness Men's club and given a carte blanc ou ordering meals and driuks. He used the privilege, much to the sorrow of the management of the club. Then he became identified with the Cleveland Life Insurance company nnu lurgea signatures to the amount of $2 00,000 worth of business. Then he obtained $2,500 from Cincinnati brewers to whom he was introduced by Senator Ward. Later he was cut off Ward's list of ' friends." It appears that about this time Setigman became connected with the Americun Life Insurance company, of St. I^ouis, Mo., roped them in, forged a telegram for $100 on the American National bank of Cincinnati, and married Miss Isaacs, of Madison. Ind. She was not in a hurry to marry the whirlwind insurance man but he was making money and the rabbi advised the match. Her? the tide turned. People began to get after Scligman. Hanks refused him credit. In March the police began to keep watch after he had paid a widow $1,000 insurance and tucn persuaded her to loan it to him on some worthless mining stock. Here th? man dropped out of sight as suddenly as he had appeared and it Is only within a woek that police have completed nis criminal record. It s found the man has a divorced wife and three children living in Des Moines. The former Miss Isaacs Is at home with her mother grieving over the developments of her shor. season of wedded life.

IE 18 RAPIDLY IMPROVING IN HEALTH. ieiiior Senator Writes for His Constitutes an Account of His Travels in Spain and Morocco. Senator Tillmau is well ami enjoyng very much his trip abroad. Col. \ugust Kohn has received the follownK COrrpaimnHonnn mki-k n UIV.U SPCU KS for Itself: "Gibraltar, June 8, 1908. "My Dear Kohn: I forwarded herewith an account dictated by j Senator Tillman of his trip since we landed. It practically amounts to a diary. I will add that the senator seems to me to be improving in health in every way; appetite good, sleep excellent and in fine spirits. Mrs. Tillman, too. is standing the hard work of travel very well. "I have had no personal letters since I left Boston. and don't expect to get any till 1 reach Rome, in about two weeks. "We met this morning on the streets Melton and Earle, who have Just returned from a trip similar to ours. Doth are well. "Sincerely, "J. W. Dabeock." Senator Tillman's account of his trip follows: "The two weeks which have elapsed since our landing at Gibraltar have been spent in rather strenuous fashion. The long rest on the boat had brought such improvement that the morning after we recalled Gibraltar and found a good steamer about to start for Tangier. 40 miles southward on the West African coast in Moroco, we yielded to the suggestion of two Columbia friends, Messrs. Melton and Earle, who had just come in on the German Lloyd steamer, and put off 'for Tangier without seeing Gibraltar at all. reaching it about I p. m. After resting at the hotel a saunter of an hour and a half through the narrow, filthy streets, from seven to 12 feet wide and a" crooked, gave us all the Idea of Mohammedan and Moorish life and civilization that we wanted. and there was no ?*<?VICUVU U1 opinion about returning to Gibraltar next dny. "After taking a view of Gibraltar, through which we drove with the American counsel, Mr. Richard Sprague, and whose courtesy was much appreciated, wo crossed over to Algecirns, Spain, on the opposite side of the bay. where we spent two nights and a day resting and enjoying the magnificent view of the famous Itock of Gibraltar, and the most gorgeous display of flowers that it has ever been our good fortune to see, hedges of geraniums five feet high white daisy bushes of even larger size, with other flowers too numerous to mention. These are in the garden or park surrounding the well Knglish hotel, the Reina Christina, and though it was tho 1st of June we had to sleep under blankets, which has been necessary throughout our trip in Southern Spain. Friday we went to Rondn. an old Moorish fortress, in the midst of the mountains, with a most magnificent view. Part of the journey upwards was through the- cork-woods. Most of the way the fields are filled with olive trees, wheat and barley occupying occasional stretches. The wheat in most instances was very good, some of it exceedingly fine. After a night at Ronda and n wnifc tin.. a. the old Moorish town to the cathedral we started for Granada Sunday morniuK. and although the Spaniards are perhaps the most devout people In Europe, there was no evidence that the people remembered the Commandment, as they were at work everywhere in the fields. "We spent two whole days in Granada and then left for Seville, taking nearly all day for the journey, though the distance is less than 200 miles. I will not attempt any lescriptions, but will only say that ive were not disappointed in the Alliamhra. though our expectations had ;>een raised very high by what we tad read, and in Seville there was i repetition of this experience. The tathedral. with its numerous masterdeces of painting, and the Moorish iluce must be seen to be appreciat 'd and then seen again and again, vhile tin little chapel in La Caridad lospital will undoubtedly linger a oy forever in our memories. Here ve found the only evidences in Spain >f prosperity and modern city life, md undoubtedly, for we all agreeed >n this point, our Columbia friends ulning in the verdict, that tlm Sevillan women as a whole are the handlomest we have ever seen or expert o see. "Friday evening we went to Corlova. famous for its Roman bridge milt by Augustus Caesar and for he Moorish Mosque, considered by xperts as the most wonderful archlectural triumph of the Moors, who onquered Spain in the 8th century, 'he Spaniards marred in many ways he dignity and strength of this wonlerful building. but again I must lot undertake descriptions. "We got bark to Gibraltar, last light. June 7, well fagged out and ealised for the first time that it ic ust a month since we left Trenton, kdthnut having any news from home >r seen an American newspaper. I lave stood the strain much better han I would have thought possible nd attribute it to an entire change f view, and the absence of anything r? excite, and the admirable sleeping hat the conditions have brought bout.

IMPORTANT OPINION BY ATTOR NKY GENERAL LYON. Oh! KoKislcrntioii Certificates Nul and Void?Hooks Kept Open Long er. Attorney General Lyon, at the re I quest of Gov. Ansel, has renders an important opinion on the require nients of the act of 1908 on re-enroll ment and registration of voters This act was passed by the genera assembly, in accordance with th provision of the constitution, requii ing new registration every ten yean und special appropriations were mad for the hoards of registrations i order that the hooks might he kep open a longer time than usual. Mr. Lyon holds that each an every voter who has heretofore rc gistered must register and have hi name entered on the - hooks in th sanio manner as if it were entlrel new registration. There is a pre viso that those registered befor 1898 shall he entitled to another r( gist rat ion upon presentation of the! certificates from the clerk of coui or secretary of state that their name appear upon the records prior t ISUS. On the new hooks opene and kept open during the months c July and August should he entore all the names. Those enrolled dui ing the first Monday in each luont of the year 1908. The opinion is a strict construi tion of the law, hut Mr. Lyon feel that the act of 1908 should l?e cai red out to the letter and the registn tion hooks he purged of thousand of names of those dead or remove from the Stale and that hereaftc the hoards of registration should li required to keep the hooks cleai This point was made in Barnwe eouuty some month ago when a effort was made to get up a petitio to vote out the dispensary. Th names of hundreds of voters wer counted in when they were not ei titled to registration. Since the Gov. Ansel has made it plain to a hoards* that the law should he stric ly enforced.

H The following paragraphs are ^ taken from the crop report issued the office of Commissioner Watson. I_ The cotton crop in many portions 5 of the state was considerably rej tarded in the early stages by cool e weather, particularly cool nights, ._ and rain in certain localities, rauk, lng the preparation of the land later g thau usual. A number of the coun? ties report the crop fro inten to flf teen days late. Sunic lice uiid other plant ailments have appeared in isod lated sections, but none of these ailinents seem to have done any seri|g ous damage. For the past few e weeks the weather has been ad 1111rv able for cotton growing and the plant hns been making consderable e headway. The condition of the cotj_ ton crop invariably falls materially r in the latter part of June and dur t ing July, and until the August niid,8 sea-on report is issued it is difficult o to venture any predictions as to the d course of the cotton crop. However, ,f regarding tho opinions expressed by d tho various correspondents in the r. different counties as to the prospects h for a full crop this prospect is shown at this time to be 78.8 per cent. > Invariably the reports from the Is several counties show that there has [ - been a material decrease in the utilization of commercial fertilizers unls der cotton. It is notworthy also in d connection with the crop; that one ?r of the best counties iu the state? ,e Marlboro?reports a perfect condlu. tiou, and the largest cotton county 11 below Columbia?Orangeburg?ren ports very nearly aperfect cond'tlon. n In tho Piedmont territory, with the ie exception of York, Pick ?ns, Abbeville e and Greenwood, the condition does i- not seem to no as good as it is *i n other sections. 11 In regard to tliecorn crop throught out tho state there is reported a most material increase in acreage, coupled with the further statement that the increased purchase of fertin lizers has been for utilization under b, the 18(18 corn crop. The coin crop s- is reported from all parts of the state to be iu a fine and healthy conie ditlon.

Jt is estimated that the rat does s $ri0.000,000 worth of damage a 1 year in England, and the figures " are much greater for this country. In fact, tlie rat may he classed as the farmer's most destructive enemy. v In a slaughter-house near Paris, rats in a single night picked to the hone the carcasses of thirty-five horses. There is very little they will not eat. 1 Eggs, young birds and animals are among the dainties which they snap i up in the ordinary course of business. Hut when pressed by hunger " they will eat anythingthrough which K they can drive their terrible teeth. J" Rat will eat rat. The idea that a trapped rat. w-ill bite off an Imprlson1 ed leg and so escape is now .aid ~ to be wrong. It is the other rats " which do the biting; they eat thr captive. As we now have no Pied Piper of Hamlin to charm the r. ts away, as in the old nursery story, ? it behooves every farmer to find or invent means to get id of thes. cv 3 f A Toast to tin* Team at the Foot. 1 "A toast to the team tliat wins!" 1 ?

Flies are a dangerous menace to health, as well as very annoying to the Derson. Where the mosquito is, there is malaria, also, and it is now high time to begin to battle against this pest. Cover all rain barrels, empty the water from buckets, cans, or other things found setting or lying about the house after a rain; drain off all small pools, or ditch water, and if this can not be done, pour a little coal oil on the surface once a week. Mosquitos do not fly far from the hatchery and every precaution should be taken to prevent them coming to the house. Screen all doors and windows, and clean all foul places about the house. Remember that flies breed in filth, and keep them as far away from the house as possible. 'JDo it now." A lU'itublican Sliot at Mr. Tuft. The Indianapolis News (rep) says: "The vice president has remained steadfast at his post in Washington, performing his constitutional duty with conscientious fidelity during recent months, while the campaign for delegates has been going on so fiercely under the direction of the White House. His dignified course has been in striking and pleasant] contrast to the hurrying to and fro in the land of the war secretary, with his cohort and political managers and press agents. Yesterday, however, Mr. Fairbanks filled an engagement in Chicago which he had made when he had supposed that congress would adjourn before he should be called upon to fill it. It was the occasion of the dedication of a new parochial school. The day and the occasion naturally suggested the theme, which was only by implication political. He discussed the great place the. school and the church hold in our life as bulwarks against the destructive forces of socialism and anarchy. Incidentally he showed that he was at one with the majority of his countrymen in opposition to the great enlargement of the navy and the army. Hetter build more schools than more war ships. The speech, as a whole, was noteworthy for its good sense and optimistic patriotism." Should Ik* Protected. There are no better friends to have in the garden than the toads. If they could be protected and encouraged to live there they would eradicate many of the grubs and cutworms that do so much damage to plants. The great enemy of the toad is the smart boy. Hands of schoolboys have been known to go out and in a single day kill as many as three hundred of these useful animals. Hoys regard this as innocent sport, being untaught, and not knowing that the toad is a most valuable insect destroyer. Teach these young barbarians to avoid cruelty in all forms and cultivate I kindness for all creatures. If they arc the sons of farmers, instill into their minds the fact that they are working against the fathers' interests when they kill such creatures as toads and birds, which are the chief destroyers of the insect pests that feed on crops. If you will subscril>e to ''Our Dumb Animals" the beautiful littte organ of the Humane societies, pnblished at Boston, and make your children read it through every month, they will soon be converted from imps of destruction into angels of mercy. The l,ea<l Trust lit Work. It seems that the lead trust has been using the pure food law for the prosecution of the independent paint men. It has been trying to compel them to disclose their for mulas, and the paint men retaliated by starting a movement to require white lead and all related products to be labelled "Poison." This seems to have had the desired eirect upon the lead trust an.l a compromise resolution was agieed upon which protested against proscriptive legis lation in the interest of nnn lino of business as against another line of I business with the provision that whenever legislation upon these matters is insisted upon it should be directed toward the maintenance and upbuilding of the law upon trade and allied industries by legis lation insuring full weights and full j measutes and prohibiting false and misleading descriptions. This means that the paint men will retaliate . upon the lead trust if the lead trust attempts to use its influence against the other paint di alers, A l-'rank Itcpuhliraii.

No one intends to say ins aught against Mr. Taft as a man, | wh nor is there much disposition to say tic that he might not make a good wl president if elected. The sum to- co^ tal of the argument against nomina- ro ting him is that he can not be elect- ro ed.
