AN instructive story comes from Framing
ham, Illinois. At town election held there
the good people stayed away, thinking work
on their farms of more Importance than
choice of rulers. The bad people, however
got together and chose an ex-convict, but
just discharged from Jail, as police magistrate.
The good ones consider the election an out
rage and have appealed to the Governor.
Why didn't they come out and vote instead
of staying at home and whining over re-
suit due entirely to their own neglecta EgssM

gentle and refined expressions from the press

THE majority of the real pro 2erty in this
country is held by the farmers. There are
more farmers and their sons who own the
land they cultivate than there are farm labor
ers who own no property; and if the rights
of property are to be assailed by the Labor
Reform Communists, the farmers of the
country are to be the great sufferers.

An Iowa 1nn-Keeper at Jeyusa
lem

A gentleman in this city gives infor-
nation of case of religious enthu.
siasm that is very interesting. Some
ten years ago Mr.. Jonathan Brinton,
Of Washington, Iowa, became pos
seesed Of the idea that he was com.
missioned by the Savior to open an
inn near Jerusalem, and 60 become
pioneer in the work of rebuilding
and christianizing the holy ctiy-for
1t was made known to him in a Wis
ion that the ancient glory Of Jerusa-
lem was about to return unto her.
He was worth about $40. 600: he gave
SIC, 900 to his wife and son, who pre-
ferred to remain on the farm, hoping
that the husband would be relieved
of his insane notion by rough expert
ence. So tho husband went away
alone-arrived at Jerusalem In s6fety
bought several acres of land in the
most desirable location he could find
two miles east of the city, built his inn
and opened 1t for the accommodation
of visitors to the Holy Land. Ten
years have elapsed, and whether he
has been cured of insanity or not is
not known-but it is very certain that
he struck good thing when he Luilt
that hotel. His letters home have
been of the most cheering character !;
his health has been good, he sees good
times all the while. His pictures of
prosperity, his longing's for his wife's
companionship, have caused Mrs.
Brinton to decide to 60 to her hus.
band. She has sold her property in
Washington county, and this week
leaves, with her son, to join her hus-
band at his inn on the slopes of Ju-

In the State, nearly the entire West
received less than three inches of rain
only in Harrison Co., also from Dali
las to Union, and from Webster to
Winnebsgo and Franklin Cos, was
the limit exceeded. Southwestern
Iowa had the greatest rainfall, main.

dence southeasterly to the Mississip.
pi, reaching five inches on the line
from Scott to johnson and down to

at Burlington.
The storm Of the 18th gave over
one inch of rain from Muscatine to

Newspaper POSTAGE.

Letters are constantly being receiv-
ed at the Post Office Department from
Postmasters throughout the country
in regard to the construction Of the
Postal law which requires that news
papers mailed at pound rates must be
published At the place from which
they are mailed. In order to evade
this proprictors of papers claim two
places of publication and hence the
inquiry of Fostmasters. Such claims
of proprietors are not allowed by the
department, and are characterized as
fictitious. Newspapers published in
New York were carried 10 Brooklyn
and mailed TO their New York sub
scribers at pound rates. The depart
ment, strange 10 say, finds that this
law is evaded by religious papers
more generally than by others, and
that the proprictors of the religious
press seem to be more anxious to dis
cover how they can get around law
than to observe it

The State Register says: "a young
man by the name of Homer Cannon,
who has been in poor health for some
time past, and supposed to be insane
committed suicide at Red Oak, on
Tuesday evening. He was seen by q
boy going to the river bank at tina,
place with double-barreled shot
gun in his hand. When Cannon reach
ed the river bank he sat down on o
rock and placed the muzzle of the gun
to his forehead and pulled the trig.
ger with his toe. The first attemp,
was . failure, as the cap snapped
without discharging the gun. He
then took stick and managed to be
more successful on the second round,
as the gun was discharged, blowing
the top Of his head up on the top OF
the embankment, some thirty feet
above. His body and gun rolled into
the river. He had been living in Red
Rock for about three years, and was
living with Mr.. Z. Alley at the time
he committed suicide"
