Nor SoPoRIFIc.-One of the good
clergymen who occupy the many Ce-
dar county pulpits, in relating last
Sabbath morning how bis mind had
been occupied during the previous
week by the text which he was then
about to elucidate, said that tired
and hot as he was when he came
home from camp meeting on Friday,
he found it impossible to get the text
out of his mind and take the needed
nap. He lay down, he said, with the
ADVERTISER over his head and the
Christian Advocate over his feet, and
still the "sweet restorer" came not.
He then fell to reading the former
paper, and still blamed that ever
present text that he could not sleep
and just there is where he made
his mistake, as the ADVERTISER was
never intended for q soporifc.

A Cali for Needed Attcntion

EDITOR ApvaRrIsER:--Will you per

condition Of our Cemeterys Some years

remain uncared for and almost impas-

OF brush.
Those whose misfortune it is to pos
sess mournful interest in the place
haye expended thousands of dollars IN
monumental marble wherewith to per
petuate the memories and beautify the
resting places of their loved ones, but
their efforts at adornment are in vain
because of the almost total general ne.
glect OF the grounds. Now II the fund
created by the sale of lots has not been
appropriated to its legitimate purpose,
then, may ask, whys Ii the amount
received is inadequate for the purpose,
am we'll assured that interested par
ties will freely contribute to the needed
work.
The price of lots equals about one
thousands dollars per acre, which, snb'
NIT is high price tor ordinary brush

ges.
We boast OF our Christian civilization
and culture, and of our wonderful pro
gress "a race, but when looking at oul

ed at that some among us of heather

their backs upon q civilization, that, in

or the beautiful daughter of night-pa
gan symbols have given US the CHASTITY

WE have as yet received no
authoritative announcements of the
candidacy of any persons for any Of
the offices to be filled in this county
At the approaching election. There
are rumors. and "they says" which
we shall probably have to fall back
upon in the way Of local political
news. We believe it has never been
the custom in this county, as it is in
many counties in the State, for can
dida,es for local Offices to be formally
announced as such either over their
own signatures or those Of friends
and supporters. 1t is not, however,
a bad custom, as it saves Q great
many suppositions, doubts and in-
situations.

HoT. Last Friday was one of the
hottest days on record in this climate.
The sun not only poured its 6ercest
rays upon the parched earth, but
there was not breath of air stirring
ard the still atmosphere seemed to
be without its vital properties. In
our village thermometers showed
1909 in the shade. Des Moines re.
ported 1859 in the shade and 1863
in the sun. Work was virtually sus-
pended.

POPULATION.
Excess of males


1t will be observed that the above
total population is about seven hun
dred greater than by the last State
census, and almost an exact two
thousand less than by the Federal

further classified as follows: Total
colored inhabitants, 80; number born
in Iowa, S0i0; number born in the
United States but not in Iowa, 1859;
number born in foreign countries,

was 5l3; number Of deaths, l.O.
There are in the County, or provided
for by the county, only insane, 6
blind and 4 deaf and dumb persons.
Only 90 males and 90 females over
81 years Of age are unable to read
and write; and only 80 between l6
and Il confess the same illiteracy.
There are 80 children between FIVE
and six years of age, 1878 between
six and sixteen and 1885 between
sixteen and twenty The voters
number 1884, of whom 3ol4 we're
born in the United States; the num-

little manufacturing in the county,
and but fraction of that is shown in
the report. The only items given
are LOO brooms made in Farming

by Cord Hartman in making single
trees, &c. The facts are that quite
large number of buggies, carriages
and wagons, as we'll as harrows and

every year; but not even the very
considerable carriage shop Of Mr..

SOMEBODY writes letters to the pa
pers from Stanwood and signs him
self 90. G. Pepper" Of course
Pepper is smart, and the finer it is
ground the smarter it gets. So this
Pepper in his last letter grinds him
self exceeding fine, in this wise:
"You were promised something,
last week, about the new railroad
that Upton looks for. Where |
heard it, l "dinna care to tell;' but
it is this: In order to fulfill a con-
tract that was made, the company
will lay the track to Upton and from
there on to Iowa City. This finished
the Northwestern will assume con-
troll of the road from Upton to Iowa
City, and that part Of the road from
Upton to the Davenport & st. Paul
junction, will be taken up. Ofcourse
no one in Upton will believe this.
Let them wait patiently and see"
Did you ever? The idea of build
ing twenty five miles of railroad this
summer to tear it up next fall as a
triae new and strange; but after
wrecking our dearest hopes isn't IT
wanton cruelty in Pepper to intimate
that we in Upton are such unbeliev-
ing heather as to refuse to take his
word of revelation. Certainly we
"believe,' Q. g.: help thou our un-
belief! We know that you wouldn't
lie about little thing like that; and
the most of our citizens have already
commenced preparations for moving
to Stanwood, the present railroad
center and the future metropolis.

J. B. DouGHERry, one of the prom

old settlers of Cedar county will re-

business men o: that city for the last
Is years. The Journal says of him:
ale was closely identified with near
ly all the public enterprises of the
city. His cool, calm judgment vas
often sought in public matters and
invariably had much weight. As
Director and part Of the time as
President of the Muscatine National
Bank, he exercised controlling in
Auence in financial circles. As men,
bers of the Board of Supervisors and
City Councilmen, at different times,
he had much to do with the public
affairs of the county and city,

BASE BALL.-l.ast Friday morn
| ing word was received that the
Atlantic club of Mt. Vernon would
be.here the next day to play the third
game Of their match with the Upton
club. The next day brought the
players and persistent rain. But
in consideration Of the fact that the
Atlantics had given due and agreed
notice Of their intended coming. and
that they only brought with them
four of the best players in the Pacific
club when they might still farther
have strengthened themselves by
taking all Psci6cs,it would Of course
have been RICH. and proper for Upton
to have stepped out and played
the game withou. raising an objec-
ton. We are sorry to say, however,
that some Of the Upton club were SO
obtuse as not to see the proprie.y Of
making match with the Atlantics
and then playing it with the Pacifics,
and would therefore consent to moth
ing but social game. An informal
game was therefore played in the
rain, the umpire being also informal
and the beating which Upton re-
ceived internal.
Another .'informa' game was
played Tuesday between the Upton
club and the '.Slashers," a club of
Wilton lads in their teens. This
game was close and interesting, the
Wilton boys playing an excellent
field, and finally winning the game
by two runs-the score standing
twenty eight to thirty.
POLAR AND TRorIcAI.-Most OF
the so-called Subscription books,
which are sold only by agents, or
canvassers, are mere ca'ch-penny af-
fairs, gotten up wholly to sell and
with no regard whatever to real
worth or merit. And this being the
case it is the more pleasant to note
such a marked exception to this rule
as we find in book entitled "The
Polar and Tropical Worlds" for the
sale of which NJ. Henry Frank is
now canvassing Upton and vicinity.
Written by DR.. Hartwig, one of the
foremost educators and scientists of
Europe, and the American edition
edited by DR.. A. H. Geurnsey, scien-
tific editor of the American Encyclo-
prdia, the work embraces complete
description of Man and Nature in the
Polar and Equatorial regions of the
Globe. Embracing also, full and
accurate account Of the results of all
the different expeditions to the Arctic
World, from the discovery of Iceland
over 1000 years ago, down to the
present time, including the last expe-
dition of Charles Francis Hall; to-
gether with the adventures and dis
coveries of all the great explorers,
Humboldt, Agassiz, Livingstone, Du
Chaillu, Wallace, ETC., in South
America, Africa, India, Australia,
and every part of the Tropical World,
1t contains over 800 royal octave
pages, and is embellished with some
200 fine maps and engravings. The
paper is good and the printing and
binding excellent. 1t would be
rather difficult for any one to place in
his family more interesting. and a,
the same time a more valuable and
instructive work than this one.
