THE COOPERATIVE PLAN.
Instance of Its Successful Working

Instance of Its Successful Working in
Germany Reported.
Mr.. j. G. Monaghan, United States
consul at Chemnitz, Germany, in q re-
port to the state department shows that
cooperation between employer and en-
ploye on lines that have frequently
caused much criticism when tried in
America has met with success in Ger
many. He says that of all the schemes
in behalf of the working people none APP
peal so powerfully to common sense and
good judgment as those being tried in
paper factory in Grimma, Saxony.
The firm lets tenements for from SIS
to $50 q year. The interest ON capital
invested in these tenements, however,
runs up annually to from $45 to $55. A
corporation store sells all kinds of goods
at a small advance on cost of prices.
The net earnings of this store amount
annually to about ten per cent. and
ere divided among the patrons. After
working certain period of years each
employe gets asum of money, and other
sums ut various periods. There is a
pension fund and a sick fund, and per-
sons compelled to serve in the army get
full pay during the term of their enlist
ment. "The thing is an established fact
and success" says Mr.. Monaghan.

NINE FAMOUS NELSON'S.
This Celebrated Acrcbatic Family
with Rlngling Bros Circus.

Among the hundreds of remarka BILE
features identified with Ringing
Bros Greatest shows this season, es-
pecial attention is called to the mar
velous acrobatic troupe known all
over the world as the Nine Famous
Nelson's. Among all the remarkable
acrobatic families which the arena
has served to introduce to the circus
loving people of America, there has
never been IL troupe that could in any
way compare with these superb per-
formers. They not only achieve all
the feats essayed by other famous ac-
robatic celebrities, but they also in
troduce displays of skill, daring and
startling precision such as no other
performer OR family of artists has ev-
er accomplished. They defy all the
known laws of gravitation and euui-
librium, and they do it with skill
and rapidity bewildering to the spec
tators. The troupe comprises six men
and three young ladies', each an ac-
complished artist, and all admirably
endowed by nature for the part taken
in the general performance. The
gentlemen wear evening costume and
the ladies long skirts, aud thus attired
turn single and double somersaults
on the ground, or from shoulder to
shoulder, and perform numberless
other incredible feats with ease and
grace. The Ringing Brothers have
issued a $4,000 challenge to the pro-
prietors of all other shows to produce
their equal. The aerial, equestrian,
trained animal and racing features of
the show are also notably complete;
the opening tournament, gorgeous,
dazzling reproduction of the ancient
Grecian festival of Olympus stands
alone as the most costly, the most
stupendous Introductory spectacle
ever presented with an arenic exhi-
bitiou: while even Rome, in it's days
of greatest power and most voluptu-
GUS spiendor never witnessed the
sports, contests and racing glories of
the hippodrome upon grander scale
of magniicence than will be shown
upon Ripgling Brothers great quar-
ter mile racing course during the per-
fornances to be given by this world
famous show in Cresco, Thursday,
July 9th.

To Our Friends and Customers,

After having several years expert
ence in doing business on the credit
system, we have come to the conclu-
sion to make a change. On the first
day of August 1896, we will commence
to do a strictly cash bushes. We
know that we can demonstrate to
GU the fact that the cash system will
be to your benefit as much as ours.
Friends and customers, do not think
that we are trying to impose upon
you by adopting the cash system. If
you could have the experience the
same as we have had, and see our
books at the end of the year you would
adopt the cash system. We know
that we can sell you goods cheaper
on cash basis. Therefore you will
be saving money and it will save us
great deal of trouble. Thanking
you all for your valued favors in the
past, and hoping to be favored with
your patronage in future, we remain,
Yours truly

What They are Like.

Persons not familiar with travel on
the transcontinental lines do not
understand what the tourist cars are
really like. Those in use on the
Great Northern Railway are built on
the same plan as the regular sleepers
but have not the same ornate finish.
They have however, similar berths
and bedding, toilet accessories and
competent porters. In addition
there is a complete kitchen range
with ample facilities for it's use, and
an adjustable table for each section.
The Great Northern Railway runs
these cars daily from ST. Paul to

Defects Discovered in the Construction of
the Battle Ship Oregon.
A San francisco Call special from
Washington says: Certain defects in
the construction of the battle ship Ore
gon have been investigated by the navy
department. It seems that the contract
requirements have not been fully met
as to the thickness of the plates used in
making up the protective deck, and that
the deck has been made to appear to
be OF proper thickness by single con-
eealed plates In the body Of the deck.
1t further appears that these defects
have been called to the attention of the
department by dissatisfied employees Of
the contractors, the Union iron works
of San Francisco, but the latter have
promised to remedy the defects.

a Glimpse Of the Past in the Light
of the Present.

A little less than two years ago
John McHugh national bank exam
iner,and Byron A. Becson, x-treasurer
of state were called upon as expert
accountants to examine into and re-
\ port the financial condition and
standing of the Iowa Deposit and
Loan Company of the Des Moines, of
which institution E. G. Spinney was
secretary. The examination was
made and a shortage of over $4,000
was reported to the stock holders who
in their confidence in the truthfulness
of this report made John McHugh
President of the company and re-
moved Mr.. Spinney from his Office
which was given to Byron A. Beeson
The facts we're however that instead
of E. G. Spinney being $4,000 in ar
rears with his company he was ahead
more than $4,000, difference of over
SOS, 900 from the report and the true
facts. In addition to this there was
nearly million dollars issued in
stock, the funds we'll secured upon
valuable farm lands and paying good
dividends in interest. All these facts
were fully disclosed by the examina-
! ton to McHugh and Benson both of
| whom We're then out of job and
both were in pursuit of somebody's
warm place and neither had any
scruples about obtaining it through
u report which both knew to be alb
solutely and unquaiifiedly false. Just
previous to this, McHugh as bank ex-
aminer had examined the Fields Bros.
bank at Cedar Falls reporting it all
''hunka dora" sound, solvent and
good, when it owed depositors $3.50
900, and had about 50 cents in cash
when it failed Immediately upon the
heels of the examination. The unre-
liable nature of these reports led to
an investigation by those interested
in the Iowa Deposit and Loan Com
pany and an IMMEDIATE stempede be-
gan of the stockholders from the
Iowa Deposit and Loan Company to
the Home Savings and Trust Co. of
Des Moines, of which E. G. Spinney
had beeu chosen secretary and par
