The fuxek3sing Power -
Iowa.

We have shown elsewhere in this
weeks paper that the agricultural
element will receive from this years
surplus crops, the enormous sum OF
serenty-threc millions Of dotiars.
This amount of money will he paid
the farmer upon the delivery of the
goods at the railroad stations. IT far
exceeds that ever before received in
any year IL is sum which will not
only put the farmers out Of debt, but
will leave them sufficient To make
their families more comfortable than
they have been for several years.
For the last three years ut least, it
has been what may be termed scrimp-
ing times with the farmers. They
have been compelled, like other
people, to economic in every direc-
ton. Their old clothes have been
made to last two or three years longer
than under more prosperous circum-
stances they would have been reqair-
ed to. Necessary Improvements on
the farm have been postponed. New
buildings have had to wait on i'm
proved times. Fences needing re-
pair have continued to need them.
In a word, the farmer has been re-
quired by necessity he could not
change or modify, to curtail all his
expenses and to get along with the
Least possible amount of expenditures.
The prospects now are vastly better.
Unless there ID something unforeseen
10 disarrange all calculations, the
farmer will find himself in condition
not only to make all needed improve
ments on the farm, but la repclothe
his family, and lay in for winters Use
items of comfort for some
years denied him. There il no reason
why, with this immense amount OF,
money brought into the State IN ex-
,hange for the produce of the soil,
hat business of every nature should
lot revive, and Iowa at once enter
pom that era Of prosperity so long
romised and 50 often postponed.

ofthe marital relation, he contrived to
habituate himself to thrashing his

the necessity for little fun. This led
TO her withdrawal from his home by
her father, who, when Dir. Scruggs
applied for her, refused to give her up,
and was promptly shot dead. A Con-

Great mystery still hangs over the
sadden disappearance OF the little Rose
girl, in Nebraska. At first ii was sup
posed she had been lost on the prairie,
but a thorough search by hundreds of
friends failed to discover her where
abouts, and her parents have arrived
mt the conclusion that she has been
kidnapped, and is held for a reward.
Mr.. Rose has offered $1,000 for her re-
turn, but so far nothing has been heard
from her. In many of its aspects this
strongly resembles the Charley Ross
ease, and, with the experience Of the
unfortunate Germantown citizen be-
fore their eyes, the friends of the
missing girl are almost distracted.
