Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1898-09-13

B. j. Hallberg, of Usage City, Kan,
recently received check of $35 from
the auditor of the navy department,
together with letter to the effect
that the money was his share of fund
raised in New York for the benefit Of
the relatives of those killed by the
blowing up of the battleship Maine.
More than five years ago Hallberg's
son ran away from home and his par
ents heard nothing of him until his
name appeared on the list of the
Names dead. Then Mr.. and Mrs Hall
berg sent photograph and descrip-
ton of their lost son to the navy de-
partment. In due time the identity of
the dead sailor was established and he
proved to be the Usage county boy.

If the writers OF comic plays, mu-
steal and otherwise, do not find ma
terial in the contract which has been
made for the return of our prisoners,
for better work than they have ever
done, the fault will be with themselves.
From business point of view, says the
New York Sun, the government has
made bargain, but 1t is such ludi-
crous bargain as may not be found in
the annals of prosaic trade. The hui
NOR of the situation is made delicious
by the conditions under which the
Spanish Steamship company bid for
the contract to transport our prison
ers to their native land. One would
think that the company's ships would
be quite safe on the high seas while
engaged in this business. But it seems
that the company does not think so,
and it stipulated in it's bid for convoy
of our warships to accompany It's YES
sells to the port of debarkation. AS the
company knows its ships, while en-
route, would not be molested by our
navy, the only inference to be drawn is
that the company fears its own SOL
d1ers or its own warships and has abid-
Ing faith In the gentleness and power
OF the enemy. There was time when
the enemy was tainted and accused of
having a voracious appetite for gold,
which the Spaniards, like Bunthorne,
despise-in the abstract. But that day
has passed. The enemy is now, as he
always has been, Yankee pig; but he
yields to the Spaniards in the matter
of yearning for gold.

To my Friends and Fellow-Citizens:
In announcing my name as candidate
for city Auditor. az the solicitation oil
nv friends. ( beg 10 submit one or TWO
suggestions for the consideration OF inc
voters of the city Of Richmond. am
not politician. and II can not be SAD
that T am an office-seeker per SO. Inose
who havs known me for the past thirty
wears. during my residence i'm the city
will voUch for my record that l have
given nv entire time and careful atten-
ton TO the business matters entrusted
20 nv care. discharging my duties ialth-
fully and with fidelity.
A great deal has been said lately on
the subject of lettering our condition IN
the different City Departments. In or
der 70 progress favorably on this line
the well-known principles underlying
true form OF government, should be duly
considered and when they have been
properly weighed a man should be select
ed who will unfalteringly carry out these
PRINCIPLES. and defacations will not only
be impossible but the best practical re-
suits will follow In some cases, now
ever. some Of our intelligent and best
citizens have voted for the man instead
of the principle. Some are of the opin-
ion that any bookkeeper can serve ac-
ceptably in the capacity OF auditor ny
simply taking the Ordinances as guide.
and that no special knowledge is requir-
ed. but this Is not true. The fact that
i'm some OF the city offices skilled ac-
countant IS not required does not apply
10 the office Of City Auditor He should
b.. n man Of well-known ability and inte-
er.iy-not merely L bookkeeper-nor is
he ,i.ouiv TO carry ont the letter OF the
ordinances but the spirit as well. in their
applications. lie must be conyersant
with the general lines OF accounts in
their varied relationships bearing upon
the subjects under his supervision and
control and should be able TO thorough
ly analyze and give direction TO them.
placing the facts, when required. in such
convenient and intelligent form as will
furnish the city Council and its Com
a!ttees all needed information.
As the time is limited, will not be able
TO make as thorough a personal canvass
as I would like, and therefore ask my
friends 10 lend such influence as they
may be able to command.
Very respectfully.

worked hard TO extnguish the blaze
which proved 10 be quite a stubborn one.
The engine was emptied, re-hlled and
emptied again before the fire could be
extinguished.
BY this time considerable damage had
been done, but no water was used TO put
out the fire and though the flooring was
burnt In places all the way through. the
