The democratic national convention in session at Chicago this week Is hav- ing very stormy session. On Tuesday Senator Hill, of New York, who was recommended for temporary chairman by the national committee was defeated by the silverite's candidate Senator Daniel, of Virginia, by vote of 554 to 345. Yes terday Hon. s. M. White, of California, was elected permanent chairman and very little business was transacted OK cept permanent organization. The plat form as prepared by the committee favors free coinage 16 to 1 and demands tariff for revenue only. All the business may be rushed through to-day, and 1t may take the rest of the week.

Springfield Republican: It appears af- ter careful inquiry that Of the 50 estab- lishments in the United States which had adopted the system of profit-sharing, only 12 continue 1t. Five have abandoned the system indefinitely and B permanently. We are not at all surprised at this. The system is faulty in principle, in that it proposes to share profits in good times without imposing upon the workmen any risk in an entire loss of profits in bad times. Profit sharing thus becomes a species of paternalistic coddling which the workingman, who wants only justice and not special favors, would dislike. Only through cooperation can the factory hand attain a self-respecting partnership in the business.

Springfield Republican The statement of Mrs. John Hunter, given out by the way of the Stafford Press, that her hus- band deliberately shot and killed her brother, Angelo Aborn, has awakened considerable interest in Holland county. The story is not entirely credited, and 1t is not clear why it is given out at just this time, unless 1t Is to have effect in preventing Hunters friends from securing a pardon for him in few years. Mrs. Hunter has told various stories about the tragedy, and has said that she was in the house and did not see the shooting, but heard the reports of the gun. She is a broken down woman and not of strong mind.

As usual large number of Fourth of July casulties are reported. Some of the most serious are as follows: Mark Will Hams, aged 20, of Grosvenordale, was in stantly killed by the premature discharge of a cannon; at Rockville, George Weber, 16 years old, was seriously injured about the face and eyes, by the explosion of a bottle. It is thought that he will lose one of his eyes, and possibly both; at Collinsville, two young men, Edward Rey- holds and John Mays, were seriously in jured by the explosion of an anvil, which they were using for 8 cannon. Reynolds injuries are probably fatal; Howard W. Weldon, of Hartford, was instantly killed by the bursting of an old army rifle.

The Farmers Institute.

The Farmers Institute at Hesper
last Friday and Saturday was grand
success and the good people Of Hesper
took the best of care of all that were
in attendance. That is one thing that
Hesper is noted for-it's hospitality.
There were several very interesting
speeches made on the different modes
of farming, which will be mentioned
in our next issue. The Tabor hall
was packed at every session with far
mers and their wives. Among the
most interesting talks was that given
by Chas. E. Wood, of the Weiser farm,
who gave his experience with the corn
binder and the husker and shredder
which is comparatively new depart
ure in farming. Prof Oliver's speech
Friday evening drew large crowd.
Standing room was at a premium, and
none went away disappointed.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: Geo. Tyler,
President; c. B. Pike, Vice-President;
E. l.. Beard, Secretary.
Everyone that attended the Institute
seemed well pleased and departed
vowing that they would never miss a
Farmers Institute if it was possible
for them to get there.

After more than forty years of sue

agement, who are good financiers,

himself capable of taking so important
a position.

Former Winneshiek Boy HOnOred.

Representative Haugen, the bright
and energetic member from Worth,
while an entertaining and forcible
talker, and a gentleman to whose
remarks the house always listens
with close attention, is embued with a
self-effacing modesty that wins friends
on every side. He is a hard worker,
and in recognition of his ability and
broad-guage capacity, Speaker Byers
placed him at the head of one of the
leading committees of the house, that
on private corporations. Mr.. Haugen
is possessed of rare business tact, excel.
lent judgement and thorough know
ledge of the work before him, and be-
fore the session closes will have shown
the people of Worth county that in
selecting Mr.. Haugen to represent
them they chose one of the most emin-
emily competent and progressive young
men OF the county, and one who will
compare favorably with any of the
new members of the house of repre-
sentatives.-Iowa State Register.
Mr.. Haugen is "Winneshiek
county boy" and his many friends of
this Bailiwick will be pleased to learn
that his sterling qualities are being
recognized.

The Merry World.

The following we clip from the Mil
waukee Journal of February 4, 1895,
which will tell you what "The Merry
World" is:
AT last The Merry World has come
to the Davidson theatre and was the
cause last night of large audience
spending an evening punctuated con-
stantly with applause and laughter.
The authors make no pretense at offer
ing other than nonsense, but it proves
to be very delightful nonsense. The
company is practically the same which
presented the series of skits in New
York, and they give to this "Review of
Contemporaneous Metropolitan Sue
cesses," as it is called, an Interpretation
which is in every way admirable.

KNOW THE WAY.

Do you want sufficient grace
To feel justified and happy now?
Do you wish to seek His face
And at His foot-stool 'humbly bow.
Do you desire a home in heaven,
Freed from sorrows and sin?
To feel all your sins forgiven,
To feel JOY without and pure within.
Then look up for love divine,
Search the blessed book of truth;
Take the promises as thine,
They are for the aged and youth.
1t is a sure and trusty guide
Toeveryone in time of need;
1t plainly shows how.to divide
Religion from sin, in every creed.
If with Jesus, you would be one
No sinful pleasures can be had;
Christ says be ye holy, or none,
Forsake all, follow me and be glad
tell the truth, says the Lord,
''Go thy way, and sin no more"
II you do you'll lose.your reward,
And will miss the hea venly shore.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed in the Spring, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of a tonic and Alternative
is felt. A prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps fa-
tai bilious levers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial pois
on. Headache, Indigestion, Constipa
tion, Dizziness, yield to Electris Bit
