Iowa Farmers Petition the Railroads.


DEs MONIES, Iowa, Oct. PA con-
certed movement is on foot among the
farmers of the state To secure lower
freight rates on grains. Petitions are
being circulated in nearly every county
of the state. Two petitions from Cerro
Gordo county We're filed with the state
board of railroad commissioners today.
The petitions are II the following form:
To the Board of Railway Commiss-
ioners-Gentlemen: We, the under
Cerro Gordo county, Iowa, hereby re-
specially represent that in our opinion
railroad freight charges are too high
and impose severe burdens on us in the
shipment of produce. Now about one
third of the price ofour grain is charged
for shipment to Chicago and like
charges are imposed on US from Chica-
go or other points, and we respectfully
ask your honorable body to revise and
reduce the present schedules of freight
rates 50 as to make them correspond i'll
some measde to current prices of pro-
duets of the farm and in other lines.
1t is iormally announced that the
comnx sioners will take cognizance of
tne lions and SET time for hear
A like movement is on foot i'm North

The request made of Prof. Bemis, of
the Chicago University, to resign be-
cause of his peculiar" views of polite
al science, cannot be said by sensible
men to be wise. The only trouble with
Prof Bemis was that he was little
too considerable of the rights of the com
mon people to suit the monied aristoc-
racy that is supporting that school. 1t
is getting SO you have to kneel down
before the money power in order to
hold your job these days. Prof. Bemis
would not do this and he Is therefore to
be praised.

LAST Sunday there was an attempt
to blow up the capitol buildings at
Madison, Wis, with nitro-glycerine
bombs. And one was also discovered
in the yard Of III. j. Veerhusen, of the
tailoring firm of Olsen x Veerhusen,
whose employees went on a strike re-
Gently with other tailors of that city.
1t is believed that the bombs were
placed by someone in sympathy with
the strikers. She strikers disclaim any
knowledge in regard to the bombs.

North Dakota Crops.

Nelson County Observer: We have
driven over large portion of Nelson
county and we find the country groan-
ing under its immense crop, and the
question that puzzles us now is how
are the farmers livinga remote distance
from the railroad going to market their
immense crops. Think of farmer
with from 1000 to 1900 bushels of
wheat living from 10 to % miles from
the railroad, hauling that amount of
grain by wagon. The job is almost an
endless one.
The teachers and the golden roc are blooming

phere,

Agricultural Society Matters.

Secretary w. n. Drake has come to
the conclusion that the Fair cannot
prosper under the present condition of
high ground rent and repairs, and the
smallness in size Of the grounds now
used by the Fair Association, and he
and Mr.. Ed. Rudolph have made a
move to better the conditions.
This year the rent was $500 and the
repairs on old sheds, etc, was between
1926 and 1915, making it i'm all between
S625 and 1915 ground expenses for one
week, and the grounds, which contain
IA acres are not large enough to be as
convenient as desired, and are situated
too far away from town to be of easy
access.
These gentleman have picked out a
tract of "a acres of land on the flat just
north of town, and have secured an
option of it for $1,000, which will ex.
pire Nov. 10th. This would be dirt
cheap for the "a acres; between S5S and
$50 an acre, and within stones-throw
of the Grand Opera House. By buy
ing this, instead of paying between
$500 and 500 year rent and repairs
on the old grounds, you would have
good, new buildings and grounds easy
of access, and would get between $3.50
and $500 worth of hay off the land
every year, which would pay you good
interest on the investments.
We understand the city has pur-
chased the island, formerly owned by
Fred Reum, for which they paid 800
per acre, and intend to put bridge
across the race and use the ground for
a public hitching ground. Now, by
buying this other tract of land for the
fair ground it would only necessitate
the building of ope bridge TO reach it.
This piece of land is so desirable and
easy of access that we would like to
see this project go through.
. 1t was first designed to form a stock
company and buy this land for fair
purposes, but we are not i'm a position
to state whether or not the company
will be formed. Stock i'm this COM
pany would be a desirable and safe in
vestment for the people of the county,
we think.

Baseball by electricity received a practical test at
Palmer's Theatre yesterday and was at once brand
cd n success The stage l. fitted up as background
The PLAYERS are small figures stationed In their re-
snectIve posit,ons The catcher stands behind the
plate and plays back" "ofr the bat just as the
circumstances denote. He moves on sort or a
wheel The pitcher stands in the box. The umpire
stands behind the batter and gesculates with great
,mphass on the lire the "coachers. who
wave their hands in a delirium OF baseball frenzy.
The umpire automatically raises his hand. The
batter as II conjured from the depths. slowly
energies from a trapdoor at home plate and takes
position A globe In the pitchers hand. denoting
the ball suddenly flashes and the ball Is In play. Ii
goes out and then blazes in the catcher's hand.
Thus bali or strike is noted. When the ball Is
knocked out an electric lamp above the field de-
notes which direction II goes and another rash on
the ground denotes where ii struck Repeated flashes
denote every move OF the ball until It again reaches
the pitchers hand. The batter when the ball Is
hit scurrles OFF for the first bag. II he Is out he
drops through a trapdoor II not; ne continues
around the circuit until he reaches home or Is put
out Every play is called. \ green flash denotes

The way the figures run. slide. emerge from ana
