''Merrie May" has been smiling for

weather at last. Small grain is look
ing extremely well. Corn is nearly
all planted, and some implanted.
Summer schools are flourishing.
Inland has an accomplished teacher,

Is under the care OF Miss G. Meyer.
Shiloh has secured the capable serv-
ices of Miss Lille Stryker. And In
land Center, that hub of the west
around which orr township revolves,
yields to the gentle sway of n Miss
Clark, late of the East.
Farmers are crying hard times
notwithstanding the advance In grain.
The trouble is they have little to dis
poseof. And 50 many Of them have their

.Thc Conflict or Ages. -

Men differ on nearly every issue.
There have always been opposite par
ties in politics and religion, though
the measures fought over one day may
he universally adopted ut another,
aud those sacrificed regarded as heroes
and martyrs. Medicine has also been
subject TO revolutionary disturbances.
When Drs. Harvey and Jenner an
nounced their discoveries, they were
held In contempt and ridicule by an
incredulous and ignorant public, yet
to-day they are received and honored
by all as benetaetors. When DIR.
Pierce announced his Discovery,
many seemed To doubt, and were skep-
teal concerning all medicines and
doctors, but proof OF merit has dis
PEELED all doubt, and to-day the Gold

remedy ia caring the most obstinate

vacation with better blood, better

suggest methods expensive and mex

which costs rather more than house
keeping, to pedestrianism, which
cost. little besides shoe leather. And
they will afford enjoyable excursions

CALAMITY AT CEDAR RAPIDS
From Mr.. Davis of that city, we
learn that ut a quarter past one, Mon
day afternoon, just after the large force
Of hands engaged In crowding forward
ward the erection of large brick block
of five buildings were fairly at work,
three of the buildings came down with
u crash, burying the workmen in the
ruins. When Mr.. d. left the city, at
four o'clock. only five persons had
been rescued, all of them seriously in
jured, and one so that he died shortly
after being taken out. How many
victims were involved in the disaster
was not definitely known at the time
our Informant left, nor the cause of
40 unprecedented an accident. The
walls of the building were above the
third story, both floors below being
already laid, and as the fronts were all
open 1t is supposed by many that the
gale which was blowing at the time
right into such openings was sufficient,
acting on the great stretch Of flooring,
to spread the green walls and cause
the accident. The loss, aside from life
and limb, is very considerable. McNal-
ly, an experienced contractor had the
work in charge.

Convention is in successful progress.
The opening session, Tuesday evening,

PROF. d. +. HURLBURT, Of n. ",
Is gentleman who seems to have
gone clear to the bottom of horse ma
ture. Naturally apt, long years of
study and experience have made him
beyond question the finest horseman
in America. He will be in Upton
Saturday and Monday, May 10Th and
2sth, and at one o'clock on each day
will give public exhibition of his
skill in managing horses-driving
without lines, stopping. starting, etc,
at word of command. The teaching
Of Prof. Hurlburt not only extends to
subduing and training horses, but also
includes the physiology, and best
modes Of shoeing and caring for horses
in all respects. In Muscatine, Iowa
City, and other places where he has
just been, we know that he is no char
latan, but on the contrary has given
the best possible satisfaction to all in
terested.

A SAD DUrY.-Messrs. Norman
and Henry Moffett, formerly well
known citizens of Upton, were here
last week Tuesday for the first time In
many years, were charged with the sad
duty of laying the mortal remains Of
their mother to rest beside other loved
ones in the Masonic Cemetery. The
Friday previous Mrs. Moffett met
with fall which dislocated her collar
bone and induced paralysis, resulting
In death on Monday evening. The
following Is an extract from her obit-
uary published at Dubuque. where
she has been living with an elder
son:
Mrs. Parthenia w. Moffett was born
in Winfield, Herkimer county, New
York, in the year 1903, which made
her seventy-four years old. She was
the daughter of Col. Nathaniel Gran
dali, of Herkimer county, one of the
early pioneers of that section of New
York State, and who became a promi-
nent man in the offices of the district
and State in which he lived. Some ofhis
sons held. and now hold high posi-
tons among the first men in the State,
in respect to wealth, intelligence and
honor. The family were remarkable
for longevity. Albert Crandall, Mrs.
Moffett's brother, who recently died
on the old Homestead in Herkimer
county, living to ripe old age, he,
also being one of the pioneers of that
section of the State. Mrs. Motfet was
married in 1896 to Artemus ). Moffet,
at the old homestead, Mr.. Moffett be-
ing native of Vermont. The young
couple, commencing the battle Of life,
remained at their eastern home until
1885 when they moved to Ohio, and
from thence to Iowa in 1852, settling
in Upton, Cedar county, where, after
a residence of ten years of happiness
and prosperity, her husband died, and
was buried In the cemetery Mt that
place. This was severe blow to Mrs.
Moffett, hut being Christian woman,
she bore up under her affection and
accepted a home with her son Nor
man, who, since, has been kind and
dutiful son to his widowed mother.
The family moved to Dubuque, from
Clinton about four years ago, where
Mrs. Moffett has found many warm
and endearing friends. Her loss will
be severely felt by those of her immed-
late acquaintance, both old and young
as she was mother, a counselor and
a friend to them all.

and family for the continued and al
most daily acts Of kindness Of the cit
liens Of Upton, and particularly in
connection with and since the Union

inquiry for seed corn, some having
to re-plant their fields.
