arms against them, he says in SUBJ

The lying vagabOnd who deceived

are not 10000 here. The vote shows
it. Since 1870 twenty-fOur wooden,
paper, saw, shingle and -four mills,
with foundries, pillow factories, etc.,
have failed and quit business. But
two have taken their places. Since
January l, 1873, twenty-five business
houses (some frst-class) have failed,
or compounded with their creditors.
Most Of the employees in these have
been compelled to go elsewhere. Does
any of the Iowa towns really make a
better showing?

Ohio Election.
Chicago Trihune.

The contest on Congressman in Ohio
was far more intensely and vigorous
ly fought out than on the State tick
ct, about which comparatively little
interest was felt. The congressional
vote indicates the popular sentiment
on the exciting financial question.
The footings in the twenty districts
are as follows: The majorities on
Congressman aggregate 80, 1893 for the
nine republicans and 1880 for the
eleven democrats elected,-a net re-
publican majority in the State on con-
gressmen of 11,058. This represents
the real republican majority In Ohio
at the late election,-sOmething over
eleven thousand majority against fiat
nonsense or repeal of the Resumption
act. The reason the republicans only
elected nine Congressman was be-
cause of the villainOus gerrymander
of the districts last winter.

A dainty blue cap with fiuttering
ribbons, worn by white haired wo-

yesterday, as he was passing the broad
p0rticO OF the Leroy maAsiOn in New
Rochelle, on the Sound. Something
in the face beneath the cap arrested
attention. Bright hazel eyes contrast

wheat in your elevator by issuing
more certificates. That only robs
somebody. The legal-tender has no
value in itself, and merely conveys
title to a value somewhere else. You
cannot double the value of farms in
Pennsylvania by issuing 200, 900 more
title deeds. But you increase the un-
expended purchasing power itself
when you increase the coin in the
country. For coin is part of those
products oflabor which we have earn
ed and saved. 1t has cost the labor
of searching, mining, transporting,
smelling, and that which equips,
feeds or supports those thus employ
ed. No other product embodies la
Dor of so many kinds, the rudest and
cheapest, and the most skilled, scien-
tific and costly, and is at the same
time, so universally demanded. 1t
is, therefore, the best attainable meas
ure of the value of all labor and its
products.
The world so accepts it, and the de-
mand for it is as universal as the de-
mand for labor itself. But it meas
ures value only because it has value.
It measures purchasing power honest
w, only because it is an unexpended
product of labor. The dollar says, II

The lnter.ocean's Sorrow.

The Chicago Inter Ocean of last
Saturday says: "The Inter Ocean has
not made great deal of noise over
the result of Tuesday, and the loss of
Congressman, as VIC stated yesterday,
is q severe blow"
And there is no other one cause
which has contributed more largely
to this ''severe blow" than the Inter
Ocean. 1t is one Of those papers
which the Hon. j. F. Wilson put
down rs having made an error in its
financial theories at the start, after
wards discovered it's error, but stuck
to it with more persistchcy than ever.
Looked upon by many republicans as
the only true representative Of our
party in Chicago, it was in position,
if so disposed to do more injury to
our cause than almost anything we
know of, and it used it's position to
the farthest extent t. cause disaster.
There is no paper We know of-not
even Pomeroy's Democrat-which so
willfully perverted facts 10 advance
the greenback theory-no one that
more effectually disproved the old
adage that Figures won't lie"--no
one that 90 unfairly misrepresented
official reports to push forward the
error it originally made, and to-day
the republican party of Iowa can
marx their defeat in exact proportion
az the circulation of the Inter Ocean
was large or small in the various
Congressional districts. Its reliabili-
ty as republican organ in the past,
made it, with its present determina-
ton to forward ly misrepresentation,
distortion and positive falschood the
greenback craze, the most eflectual
club that the opposition could use, to
crush out true republ cauiam and de-
feat republican candidates. No won.
der that it "has not made great deal
of noise over the result" Of its nefa-
rious wrong doing 1t was difficult
to us to understand lite course, but a
Chicago friend furnishes solution !:
tho paper is hopelessly in debt,
and well-nigh bankrupt, and can only
succeed in sustaining itself by inau-
gurating an era OF cheap and worth

PLYMOUTH COUNTY FIRES.
Chds. Davis Burned to Dedth-Mrs.
Mulong Terribly Burned-Severe
Losses Of Property.

Mulong Terribly Burned-Severe
Losses Of Property.
LeMars Liberal, Oct. Is.
About 2 O'Clock last Saturday after
noon, an old gentleman named Chas.
Davis, living on . farm in Union
was SO badly burned by q
prairie fire that he died at an early
hour the following day. Tho facts
brought to us by Mr.. James Tracy,
are as follows:
Mr.. Davis had several head of
choice cattle tied between two stacks
of straw, there being no stable on the
premises. Saturday afternoon the
old gentleman watched with great
anxiety the oncoming sea of flame,
and when it began to threaten his
stacks he ran out for the purpose of
untying his cattle, that they might
seek safety. Unfortunately this was
a task that took time and before he
could himself escepe the fire was lap
ping up the tinder-like straw, and he
was cut off from all assistance. Not
withstanding Mr.. Davis was in this
hell of fire for several minutes, he
managed by some means to draw
himself out, and neighbor grasped
him, carried him to the house and set
out for medical assistance. DR.. Por-
ter was called and all that could be
done to save Mr.. Davis life was done,
but to no purpose. The terrible fire
had done its work, and after suffering
the most excruciating agony for Ia
hours death came to his relief. On
Monday the remains were brought to
town and inferred. Mr.. Davis came
here from Freeport, Ill, about two
years ago. He was fine old gentle
man, highly respected by all who
knew him, and his awful death cast q
gloom over the entire community
Mr.. Davis was aged about IS years.
he leaves quite family to mourn the
loss of kind indulgent parent.
We have still another accident caus-
ed by the prairie fires in the eastern
part of the county to chronicle. Sat
urday afternoon the fire which had
been threatening Mr.. Mulong's place,
attacked the wheat stacks, and Mrs.
Mulong in attempting to save them,
was terribly burned, both feet being
roasted in a most sickening manner.
The unfortunate woman was dragged
from the flames in time to save her
life, but her sufferings are INTENSE
All Of Mr.. Mulong's wheat, amount
ing to twelve stacks, was destroyed.
Last Saturday afternoon, Richard
Peters, a worthy Woodworking far
mer, in Marion township, met with q
heavy loss from prairie fires which
have been raging so disastrously for
several days. Mr.. Peters lost gran
airy with 400 bushels of oats and $50
bushels of wheat; a stable, a self
binder and several other valuable ar
ticles of farm machinery; as we'll as
all the hay he had cut this season
The loss falls heavily upon Mr.. Pc
tiers, who has been in this county
about three years, and has met with
other reverses.
