This, one of the last verses ever
written by Robert Louis Stevenson, is
in reference to the portrait of himself,
which is given to the public with his
verse for the first time in the July
Cosmopolitan. The lines might have
come from the pen of Burns, and are
inimitable in their way. The portrait
was declared by Stevenson himself to
be the best ever painted of him. In
this same number of The Cosmopsli-
tan Rudyard Kipling tells an Indian
story to which Remington adds charm
ing illustrations; Mrs. Burton Harri-
son makes a serious study Of New
York society in "The Myth of the Four
Hundred" and Kate Douglas Wiggin
contributes story of one of the most
delightful of Welsh retreats. The
Cosmpoliton was with this number re.
duced to ten cents per copy, and as
consequence, notwithstanding it's large
edition, it was "out of print" on the
third day of publication.

The republican party in this county
has always been able to elect ticket
OIL which they were united, and they
are still able to do so. They have the
votes and if they will only cast them
for their own ticket, that ticket can be
triumphantly elected.
At the last election a lack of har.
mony defeated Il ticket composed of as
good men as were ever nominated fol-
office, and like tactics will do the same
thing again.
Just why some few members of q
political party always want to stir up
row and are everIastingly wanting to
pay somebody back we have never
been able to determine. They do not
seem to be aware Of the fact that the
next year will he the other fellows
turn and he will want TO pay some
body back aud 50 on, like the farmel

WEATHER REPORT.
CENTRAL STATION.


DES MONIES, IOWA, july .. 1895.
The daily mean temperature of the
week ending the Sth, was slightly above
the seasonable average. The rainfall
was generally deficient deficient, the
southwest district receiving the larger
quantity Oh the 18th inst. On the 9TH
light showers afforded some relief to
the eastern districts which have suf-
fersd material injury from the pro-
tracted drouth.
In the larger part of the state crops
have made rapid progress and are in "A
very satisfactory condition. Corn is
above IN average in nearly all sections.
Oats are everywhere putting on the
harvest color, and cutting is already in
progress in the earlier fields. The
crop as a whole Will be somewhat les
sened by too rank growth and lodging,
but with favorable harvest weather the
prospect is still good for the greatest
total yield ever grown in the state.
All the field crops except hay are do
ing remarkably well. And in sections
favored by heavy showers the yield of
hay has exceeded expectations. Flax
promises an average crop in sections
where it is most extensively grown.

at looks now as if the democrats OF
Audubon county were through elect
ing county officers. Republicans are
in the majority and should fill all the
offices. Harmony seems TO be the
watchword this year." The Extra De

better than in the above opinion, that
harmony is the watchword for the re.

contemporary is just right. Harmony

q number of western and northwestern
states had failed to respond to the roll
call, said that but a few weeks ago the
representatives of every one of those
states had attended a silver conven-
ton at Salt Lake city, at which a COM
mittee had been appointed to represent
them, collectively, at the Memphis con-
vention. The absence of delegates
from individual states should not be
construed to indicate any lack of in
tereSt in the free-silver movement or
of sympathy with the Memphis con-
vention. The south and the west were
hand in hand in this campaign, and
must stand together.
The mex speaker introduced was
Alexander Delmar. the well-known
writer on the coinage question and a
member of the silver commission of
1856.
At the evening session, which began
promptly at 5 o'clock, Senator William
NJ. Stewart, of Nevada, presided, and
introduced Congressman Joseph c. Sib-
ley. of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Sibley expounded the four polit-
zeal principles, which, he said, con
tanned the result of his study of the
money question. They were:
"First-Double the volume of money
and you double prices.
"Second-Divide the volume of money
and you divide prices.
'Third-Double the volume of
money and you divide the debts.
'Fourth-Divide the volume of
money and you double the debts"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Sibley's
speech there were persistent calls for
Mr.. Bryan, of Nebraska, but that gen.
tleman evidently desired a more favor
able opportunity and more time in
which to deliver his views upon the
silver question, for he declined to re-
spond.
Then, upon invitation of the conven-
ton, Mr.. Charles S. Thomas, of Den
yer, occupied the remainder of the
time of the evening session.

4 Significant Departure.

With the departure of another year
when q review is made of the condi-
ton of affairs, it is only right that
some thought be given to the physi-
cal body which enables everyone to
battle with LIES problem and figure
for themselves the profit or loss on
the trial balance sheet. Though the
bank account may be large and each
ones material gain be great, it would
not be surprising il it suddenly upon
many that good health has been
greatly impoverished by the low con-
dition Of the blood. It is in this
state that the Tactic acid in the vital
fluid attacks the fbfous tissues, par
ticularly the joints, making known
the local manifestations of rheuma
tism. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla the
great blood purifier, a positive and
permanent cure for rheumatism.

ANNUAL SETTLEMENTS

Have been witnessed personally in
most OF the counties of the STATE,
while in the others auditors repre-
sented me. I failed to reach, per
sonally, Chesterfield, Clarendon,
Georgetown, Horny, Lexington ard
Williamsburg. Beaufort and Belke-
l ! were ready, and, on account Of
shortness CT time, I could not again
visit either. The treasurer, r. 2.
Fuller, of Beaufort, was sick and af-
forwards died.
The extension OF time by the Gen
eral Assembly for collection OF taxes
over to March intelfered somewhat
with these annual settlements.
It is the purpose Of this depart.
ment to provide different system of
keeping the records (receipts and
disbursements of taxes for the treas
urers, county supervisors or school
commissioners of the respective
counties.
As soon as the General Assem-
bly, amends the laws to conform
to the requirements Of the new
constitution, and we know the
changes, blank books of record will
be prepared for treasurers, for State,
county and school taxes, each, and
then duplicate record for county
supervisor for school taxes, and school
commissioner for school taxes, the
duplicate for State taxes being kept
by Comptroller Generals Office.
BY this system of records It'll pro-
posed at the annual settlements for
the records of changes and disburse-
ments (credits) for taxes for each fer
that fiscal year to be checked and
balanced so that the record of these
items, as kept by the County Treas
urer, will balance to a cent; for all
State taxes with Comptroller General
item for item; for county taxes the
Treasurer and County Supervisor
must balance the same way, and fer
school taxes the Treasurer School
Commissioners records will also bal
ance. These records must be Of
sufficient size and binding to become
permanent records in these Offices.
Very much of the confusion Of fs-
cal years, and taxes arising therein,
now manifest in these settlements, is
hoped to be avoided by this method
of records.
The hope Of this is to make the
system of records between County
Treasurers and other officers author
lied to draw warrants upon them as
complete and perfect as that in force
between the Offices of Comptroller
General and State treasurer, thus
making the system of records en- en-
tirely-complete from top to bottom,
for all State, county and school taxes.
Much trouble is created by the
special laws requiring County Treas
urers to collect special school taxes
anl requiring the Treasurer to py
Out these moneys without the eli
dorserlept of the School Commis,
sioner, thus destroying the proper
checks and balances between these
offices in such cases. Respectfully
submitted, JAMES NoEToN,
COMPTROLLER General.
