FOR The FOURTH TIME.
Mrs. MCGEE Welded to a jolly Sea
Dog Capt. Craigen.

New York, March 1l.-Mrs. Mamie
Estelle McGee, whose domestic difficulties
have occasioned some comment in the
Oranges has been married for the fourth
time. Her latest matrimonial venture was
with jolly sea rover, Captain John Ram
sey Craigen, of New York city, who is now
on voyage to a foreign port. His wife
is now preparing to leave her home in
Orange and join her husband abroad.
The marriage 10 Captain Craigcn was
celebrated February last, by Rev w. Il.
Bush, pastor of the Forty fourth Street
Methodist Episcopal church, New York
city Ii was such quiet affair that the
act did not become known in Orange un-
oil yesterday. 1t is believed the couple de-
sired To keep the marriage secret, owing
to the fact that less than month before
the bride had secured "a decree from Chan
cellor McGill annulling her marriage to
John j. Fell an Orange florist. In the
divorce papers the woman was then des-
cribcd rs Mamie Estelle MCGEE, falsely
called Mamie Estelle Fell. "
George M. Monroe, of Annapolis, was
Mrs. Craigen's first husband. She was
divorced from him and then married
McGee, n New York policeman. She
secured divorce from him also, and mar
ried Fell. The divorce decree separating
her from McGce was not, as it afterwards
proved, signed aud entered until two days
after her marriage with Fell. She,
however, was unaware Of this queer cir
cumstance until some time aftcrward
After the divorce had been secured from
Fell the two remained good friends Fell
seemed infatuated with the woman.
To Rev. W. Il. Bush, who performed
the last marriage, tho bride gave her aye
as thirty and said 10 was her second mar
riage. She has daughter fifteen years
old. Captain Craigon is said TO he we.fthy
and thirty-six years of age.

Editorial Association Meeting.

The writer was i'm attendance at the
Upper Des Moines Editorial Associa-
ton at Webster City last week, and
found the meeting one of instruction
and pleasure. Thursday evening we
listened to an address by Hon. j. P.
Dolliver on "The Nation of America"
which was pronounced his master
piece by many who heard him. He is
i'm the front rank of orators and ap-
peared at his best in this delightful
subject. Friday morning we enjoyed
ride about the city, given by its citi-
zens, and enjoyed visiting their
principal business institutions. In the
afternoon .papers were read and dis
cussions INDUCED in; also occurred the
election of officers. At seven o'clock
we were rendered a reception by the
ladies of Webster City, and at eight
o'clock listened to a very able address
by Hon. Geo. d. Perkins, following
which a delici, us banquet was served.
Toasts were given by prominent citi-
zens from every part of the state and
the time until early morning was
passed in hearty enjoyment.
The meeting was a very pleasant
and profitable one and will be remem-
bered long by all who attended.

COST OF PRODUCING CORN.

Through the efforts of great news
paper on exact record of costs for the
corn crop grown on 1852 acres Of land,
located in SO counties of the eight great
corn states, has been secured. This Is
no guess-work of an agricultural or
weather crop service, but is the most
complete and careful investigation of
the matter ever attempted, and its
conclusions are valuable in proportion.
When it is understood that daily
record was secured from each indi-
vidual crop from the entering of the
plow into the ground in the spring up
to the cribbing of the last ear of corn,
the magnitude of the undertaking will
be realized. These daily records show
every hour of labor given to the crop
and every possible item of charge
against it. In reducing these records
to showing Of actual cost of produc-
ton, wherever wages were paid,
whether by the day or by the month,
the cost has been figured on that basis;
where the labor incident to the making
of the crop was performed by the own
er or his family, wages have been al
lowed at the current rate paid in that
locality by the month.
The result of this investigation shows
the actual cost of growing 113,049
bushels of corn on 1852 acres to have
been as follows.

THEY call us liars and make whim-
steal excuse, because we said in re-
cent issue that the Republican had
printed several thousand supplements
and distributed them to voters through
democratic papers and otherwise.
The Cresco Plain Dea,er says in regard
to it: 1--WE telephoned Mr.. Bailey and
asked him to furnish us 5000 copies of
that matter, with the letter of Judge
Willett. Mr.. Bailey positively de-
cl;ned to supply us with the supple
meuts, Tor to sell 500 copies of the De-
corah Repu6hcda, containing those
articles. We then corresponded with
Mr.. Coutant, of the Journal, and learn
ing from him that he was going to
publish both articles, we ordered and
bought from him the supplements
used" The facts are these: Editor
Mead, Of the Plain Deaier, telephoned
Mr.. Bailey concerning the supple
ments, and Mr.. Bailey answered that
he could not furnish them, but told
him to get them from the Journal.
Why? Because the articles were set
up in type in the Republican office,
printed in the Republican, and then
the type carried bodily to the Journal
office, in which paper they appeared
the next Tuesday. So the supplements
for the Plain Dealer were printed i'm
the JOurndi Office. We were slightly
mistaken in particulars. Instead of
being printed at the Republican office,
they We're printed from the RepubH-
oda's type in its branch office-the
Journal. We ask if they will deny
this 1t is simply another of Bailey's
deceitful and hypocritical practices.
He uses every means within his power
to dodge the facts, and misleads the
people whenever an opportunity offers
itself.

That corn can be grown at a cost of
6 cents bushel will be surprise to the
best posted, yet these exact records,
kept by growers themselves prove it.
1t is to be borne in mind, however,
that there is still another large and inn
portant item of expense to be added,
to-wit, rental, or interest on money in
vested in the farm. The average value
of the land used i'm making this crop
was $39.l6, and at 6 per cent. interest
the use of the land per year is worth
S2.35. This raises the net cost of pro-
duction per acre to S4.95, and in round
numbers raises the cost per bushel to
II cents.
On the basis Of this calculation, the
corn actually costs either the renter or
the owner of farm II cents bushel.
