a rather remarkable reunion occur
ed at Marshallton, Iowa, last week in
which r. II. Bailey of Atlantic was
deeply interested party. His father,
Mr.. John Bailey, died ut Marshalltown
at the age of nearly SO years, leaving a
family of five sons and seven daugh-
ters, all of whom were present at their
fathers funeral, and this was the first
time the children of that household We're
ever all together, the eldest having gone
from home before the youngest was
born. After the funeral the twelve
brothers and sisters all sat down to-
gethcr at the table of a sister who re-
sides in that city; gOodly number of
wives, husbands and children also be-
ing present. At that remarkable gath
ering they counted of the descendants
now living 20 grandchildren and %
great grand children. 1t was truly 4
wonderful meeting which will be dear
to their memory, and that of their
children'S children, though it must have
produced a strange commingly of joy
and sorrow in every heart. The mother
Of that remarkable household had died
at that place three years previously, at
which time an attempt was made to
bring all the household together but on
account of the wide separation a few
of their number could rot respond,
some having to come even from Cali
tornia. Distance this time, however,
did not prevent them from being AL
together with one accord, in one place"
for the first and, doubtless for the last
| time on earth.

THE Sioux City Corn Palace of last
year was one of the notable enterprises
of the west. I: was reported in all
great papers throughout the Union and
arrested the attention of the country in
admiration of Iowa and its chief pro-
duct. Travellers made it point to see
the Palace, and everywhere the subject
OF King Corn was discussed and its
value commented upon. Mrs. Frances
Folsom Cleveland viewed the great ex-
position. and 1t is said that she never
tires of telling of its majestic beauty.
II goes without saying that this all re-
bounds to the credit of Iowa aid be!
soil This year Sioux City will erect a
much larger and grander Corn Palace
than that of last year. 1t will be exten.
siyely advertised, and will attract
crowds from all parts of the country
Iowa will gain celebrity and fame fol
its chief production. Chief among the
corn producing counties of the state is

THE republicans of Webster county
will give their support to the Hon. J. 7.
Dolliyer for congressman from Tenth
district. 1t is understood that Major
Holmes will be a candidate for reelec-
ton. Mr.. Dolliver was an aspirant two
years, but the incumbents' claims to a
second term lriumphed. Mr.. Delivers
candidacy will be hampered By his To-
cation in the district being the same as
that of his predecessor. Other portions
that have supported WebSter's candi-
date will claim reward in the shape of
support for chosen sons However, it
is doubtful if the district contains a
citizen who could reflect so much credit
upon the state as Mr.. DOlliver

a MINNEAPoLIs paper referring to
the life of Roscoe Conkling says that
though he was INSCRIPTIONS in politics
his personal record was unstain3d.
There are admirers of the dead states
man who believe that personal record
may be stained by an INSCRIPTIONS pO-
litical career. The political field should
not be a perpetual theater of treachcry
and MISREPRESENTATION.

]. Il. SOVEREIGN is quoted as being
in favor Of fusion in the state this year;
also in favor Of continuing the national
democracy i'll power. This will appear
quite ridiculous to those who heard Soy

together the republican and democratic
parties last year. Whatever slurs, i'll

trump up were made against both. The
democratic party has certainly nv. ac-
eomplished anything that could win
the admiration of an honest man.

TIE HomeStead implores the sUbor-
dinate alliances of the state to take up
contributions to pay the expenses of
Kennedy at Des MOines during the SEES
sion Of the legislature. People at a dis
lance are at a loss to know what service
Kennedy performed that is deserving
of reward. His career at the capital
tended rather to reflect ridicule on the
alliance by his obnoxious boast that he
carried $1,000 votes in his pocket. \
great majority of the people have con-
fidence that the duly elected represent
tatives are capable of performing the
duties of the Office without the assist
ance of President Kennedy. and if we
mistake not this effort to secure fund
for him will result in deserved failure.

This takes close calculating, for instance
when we had supplied every one of our

left. So at oar blanket sale, we had Just
two pair left Wednesday night out of
sixty pair that morning.
We fully expect the line immense as it
