One of our very best and most sue
cessful farmers is Mr.. Geo. Morse, of
this township. He never lets his work
get the mastery of him, and we are not
surprised to learn that but for the rain
he would have had his entire crop of
oats and wheat-not small one, by the
by,-in the shock, by the end Of this
week. His grain is prime in quality and
a good yield.

The country Is literally swarming with
tramps-pOOr fellows wandering about with
nothing to do and little to eat, sleeping wher-
ever night overtakes them, and-still Sherman
is contracting the currency.-Dubitq,te Herald.
The above will do very well as a pre-
liminary to the relation of an incident
which occurred at the Central depot in
this city the other day. a crowd of II
to Is tramps were lying about the plat
form, with nothing to do and little to
eat" and were approached by one of our
farmers who wanted to hire help The
first offer he made them was $50 per
day and board, of course, price at the
very top of the market at the present
time. The response was the most scorn-
full refusal to work at that price The
next offer-designed to test their incli
nation to earn an honest living-was
$500 per day, but this, also was ineffec
tual to induce any of the unkempt vag-
abonds to work for his Bread and the
worst of it was that fully one-half of
these indolent varlets might be found
afterward going from house to house,
begging their dinners. Fully three
quarters of these poor fellows" will not
work so long as the remotest chance to
steal or beg remains open to them. A
good deal the contraction of the curren-
cy has to do with their condition but
we admit, fully as much as it has to do
with the condition of the farmer who,
on account of misfortune or lack of en-
ergy, has nothing to sell, but who yet
hangs about the corner grocery whining
about the scarcity of greenbacks, cur
sing the bond holders, and like foolish
ness, when he ought to, be in his field
blowing corn.

A STRAw.-A most hopeful indica-
ton of the bountiful character of the
coming harvest, was afforded the other
day at the premises of Jesse Merrill
southwest of town. A threshing ma
chine having been set up at Mr.. Mer-
rill's place, neighbor, who was out of
feed for his horses, cut half an acre of
oats, and took it over to the machine to
have it threshcd. The yield was forty
bushels, as measured from the spout of
the machine, or at the rate of 80 bush
els per acre.

TRAMps.-Cedar Rapids is nervous
and excited over the tramp invasion
On Wednesday word reached that city
that Is to 100 of the nuisances had tax
en- forcible possession of train of cars
on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids x
Northern Railroad between Burlington
and that city and would arrive shortly
before night. The greatest excitement
prevailed among the citizens, owing to
threats having been made of sacking the
city. About 40 of the tramps were
arrested and locked up, but released in
the morning. A public meeting was
held and 400 or 500 special police sworn
in for a possible emergency. In order
to prevent violence the authorities were
compelled to furnish a free dinner to
their unwelcome guests at the city hall,
on condition of which they promised to
leave. The trade in revolvers was very
lively for while.
The next day, letters from Cedar
Falls received here, stated that the pass
enger train going north on the Burling-
ton road was five hours late at that
point, on account of having been taken
possession of at Cedar Valley by about
200 tramps, who inundated the train
men, and compelled them to let them
ride free. They stopped the train long
enough at Cedar Falls to get their din
ner, and then gave orders to move on
evading and defeating all attempts to
have the three freight cars which they
occupied, or rather swarmed over, side
tracked

THE effort to elect a City Marshal
last Monday evening, in place of John
A. Davis, resigned, was not successful.
Among so many applicants for the place
only twenty-seven at the last count
the Council really could not come to
any conclusion satisfactory to the appli-
cants, or majority of that body. The
only trouble seems to be that there is
not enough members of the Council to
give each aspirant Il complimentary
vote, and so, in hopes that a portion of
the crowd will drop out, the election
was postponed until the next meeting.
We could not be induced to guess the
result, and more than likely that's
what's the matter" with the city dads.

THE HARVEST past week has
been a busy one with our farmers in
making preparation for the harvest. A
few fields of oats have been cut, and we
hear of exceptional instances where
farmers have got well into the wheat
harvest, but the great body of the grain
is yet standing, The weather promises
to be most favorable and the testimony
from every quarter is that the crop is
one of the most bountiful and of the
best quality ever grown in this section.

Cool CHURCHEs.-Th following sug-
gestions from an exchange, concerning
the proper way to provide for the COM
fort and health of the worshipcrs in
church during the heated weather, are
worthy the consideration of sections,
and others having churches in charge:
1.-THE sections, in some instances, open their
churches late on Sunday morning, and do not
pay that regard for the comfort of the audi
ences they should If the auditorium Of Il
church building is well aired and properly ven
tilated on the Saturday previous to holding
Sunday services, and then opened again on Sun
day morning as early as possible, the differ
ence in the temperature Of the building will be
found to be, astonishing If, however, the
churches are kept closed during the week, with
the hot sun striking the walls and windows,
and they are opened only short time before
the morning services begin on Sunday, nothing
more than a bakc-ovcn temperature can be eX-
pectcd.
