THEY CHOOSE WEAVER.

Yesterday in the opera house at
Council Bluffs seventy out of the nine
ty delegates composing the democratic
congressional convention fell in the
tail end of the populist procession and
cast their ballots for James B. Weaver
of Des Moines, Arizona, and Council
Bluffs as their candidate for congress.
The only opposition to the star car

name of l.. l.. DeLano who received
but twenty votes. Frank d. Allen at

Weaver's nomination but was called

convention. The convention was a
stormy one but enough of the demo-

IowA's REPUBLICAN PLATFORM-Iso4.

The Republican party comes again before the
people of Iowa with every promise performed
and every prophecy fulfilled.
The history OF the past year has again dem
onstrated the unfitness and ncompetency OF
the Democratic party to administer the affairs
of the Nation, and has again yindioatod the
eternal truth of Republican principles.
From the universal disaster that has accom-
panied Democratic supremacy, we turn with
confident hope to the sacred duty OF restoring
peace and prosperity to distracted and dis

duties so adjusted that every American re-
source can be developed by American labor, re-

results which have followed the mere menace
of free trade as conclusive evidence of the wis

this subject.

Z. The welfare OF the labOrcr and the main

A RETRACTION.

Two weeks ago the Audubon Adoo-
cate contained a scurrilous article
about b. /. Salinger. 1t was one of
Frank Aliens worst TRADES. Last
week the paper made the following
complete retraction which we gladly
give space:
An article concerning b. 1. Salinger,
nominee for reporter of the supreme
court on the republican ticket, crept
into the last issue of the ADVOCATE,
which exhibits that gentleman in no
flattering light. We find that we were
utterly misinformed and sincerely re-
greet the publication. This paper is no
exception, and is liable to be imposed
upon by reckless or malicious talebear-
ers, but it never falters in being hon
orable and correcting the mischief so
done at the first opportunity. We find
that nothing can be truthfully said
against Mr.. Salinger either as man or
lawyer.-Cc1roH Herald.

The Greeley scribe to the Audubon

Roy Mccain, who has been teaching

Gdorge Campbell is erecting large
barn which will greatly add to the con-
venience and valuation of his farm.
The Armstrong boys are binding up
their corn for winter feed as the pro-

very scarce article.
Many of the farmers who rented
land this year and promised to pay
$500 per acre will be unable to pay
their rent, unless all the landlords will
will follow the example that some are
doing, take one-third of the crop. This
would surely be just and right, as every
man has done his part to raise crop,
then why should the land holder not
share in the loss, and not be hog
and take something for nothing. Chas.
Kemp will follow the above example.
Let others follow suit.

An item which recently appeared in
Creston paper divuIging the fact that
a dozen lawyers in that town were not
making their salt, reminds us of an in
cident of the early days in Vlllisca. A
certain briefless lawyer became so lazy
from lack of business and lack Of in
clination toward eXertion, that he
would refuse to talk whenever signs
would express his meaning. One day
stranger drove up in front of this
lawyers office, and noticing man doz-
ing away the summer hours in com
Portable arm chair with his feet stick

direction to Sciola. The apparent
sleeper did not speak or open his eyes
but wiggled his right foot toward the
north. The astonished stranger then
asked the direction to Clarinda. The
answer was slight wiggle of the left
foot toward the south. Determined to
make the man speak, the stranger next
asked him if Lawyer---was in the

1t is not always safe to throw q rock
at goose as the following from the
Keokuk Gate city will show: Down
in the neighborhood of McCaffrey's
rock quarry flock of vagrant geese
made themselves very annoying. Dur
ing the noon recess yesterday one of
these geese got hold of a stick of dyna-
mite and ate liberal lunch from it.
Then it waddled over to place where
the horses had been fed. The animals
had prudently been moved to another
point, but there were some grains of
corn scattered on the ground. These
the goose proceeded to appropriate as
the final course of its dinner. One of
the quarrymen, not knowing about the
dynamite the goose had eaten, SHE'D a
stone at the bird. The missile struck
it fair on the crop-then there was a
deafening explosion and goose feath-
ers filled the air the rest of the day.
Many passers by thought snow storm
was prevailing in that locality and the
air grew so chilly that they had to put
on their overcoats.-CedGr Rapids Re,
