AG-Mr. John Moore, of Coe township,
was in the city to-day. He says the late
potatoe crop was seriously damaged by
the drouth, and that the corn crop is in
/ jured to some extent The crop OF green
back fanatics in his aud the adjoining
townships of yuma and CANOE Greek were
nipped 10 the bud By q proyidential
sprinkling of common sense. Sam VAIN
wright is the 10. Miller of that section and
his following is small indeed.
Dar Miss Ida Graham, a bright little
beauty from Whitewater, Wis, who had
been visiting In the family of Major Jerome
Magill for couple of months, left yester-
day morning for her home Its ever
thus" Al revoir.- Union. Nothing
has been seen of the young man since the
above was written and it is believed that
he has taken refuge from browning
world beneath the placid waters of the
mill-pond. The slough will be dragged
to morrow.
Challenge Accepted.
The first of this week Assessor Hansy
sent challenge to I, j. Henderson tc
meet him IN Joint discussion of the poll
teal issues in at least one place in eacl
county OF the district. This morning tht
assessor received reply from Henderson
accepting the challenge and stating that BIZ
had referred the matter of arranging fol
times and places for MEETINGS to tht
republican congressional committee.
So the ball may now be considered opeI
and it only remains for the floor manager
to call the sets. The dancers will furnish
their own music and Haney's follower,
will no doubt put up the ereenbacks to de
fray other incidental expenses Ia THU
wrangle Haney will have the advantage, a.
he can give utterance to an idea If b.
any possibility one should creep into BIZ
head, whereas Henderson will be too mo
dest to urge his claims if ne imagines b.
has any.
A Slanderer Rebuked.
The Chicago Times of June 10th, afte
giving a very fair account of the reunion
of the United Order of Ancient Druiis
held 10 Chicago, June 9th, 10 which
commends them for orderly conduct, in
dulges in the following uuwarranted TRAD
against the order:
But notwithstanding their fair shown
from DruidiStic standpoint, the belief ha
become current of late years Throughout
> this country that the organization of Druid
is identical with the Communist and Sc
cialist bodies, and that they are workin
! together In one common cause, IN briei
, that about equal relative proportion {
Internationalism, Communism, Socialism
and other isms permeated with false an
disorganizing and even revolutionary theC
ries are embraced in the workings of th
fraternity. Many of the secret-tradt
unions that sprung into existence in diffel
entsparts of the country and figured S
1 conspicuously in the troubles of last sun
r mer, are believed to have consolidated wit
the organization of Druids, and it is CLAIM
ed that in most of the Eastern and Yves
= ern States, their Lodges or Groves are b
u ing suppned with arms, and their rani
g added to from workingmen of every elias
a Certain iU is that the order has not only
! strong following in Chicago, but is large
represented in every state throughout Il
Z union where Communism has gained
It foothold."
