"This Means You"

When iJ is desired to add force 10 a
notice of warning-to emphasize, for
example, the order to "keep off the
grass"-it is customary to add, ".rhis
means you"
In this campaign every Republican
speech, every sound money leafet, every
appeal to voters to do their duty, every
argument from the press or the rostrum
urging support of the Republican ticket,
bears the imperative order, "This means
you"
1t means that above every other duty
to your country rises the duty of voting
this fall. 1t is your duty, no matter
whether the clouds lower or the sun
shines upon election day, to go to the
polls and vote the Republican ticket.
1t will not be doing your duty to stay
in the corn fields that day, no matter
how propitious may be the weather for
gathering the corn. There will be
other days for that necessary work, but
none ether for voting the Republican
ticket this year. Your place for the
fraction of time necessary to cast your
vote on that day is at the polls, and you
can never atone for the omission by say
ing, ''my vote only counts one, anyway,
and it won't be needed" II will bo
needed and it must be cast. 1t will be
needed to make the majority for the
Republican ticket in Iowa decisive and
overwhelming. 1t will be needed TO
help return an unbroken Republican
delegation to congress from this
state. 1t will be needed 10 help
crush the heresy Of 10 to /, which the
Marshalltown convention has forced
upon the people Of the state as the issue
upon which the campaign is to be
fought. Your vote will bc needed to-
gether with those Of your Republican
neighbors, and it is your duty to see thai
they are cast on the Sth of nextNovember.
Remember, "This means you"

Still Fighting Over the boundary.

LlNEvILLE, Ia, Oct. 1.-When the
commission was appointed by the SUI
preme court of the United States to re-
survey and relocate the boundary line
between the states of Iowa and Missouri
at the disputed point, four miles west of
this place, it was believed the trouble
that had been going ON for 80 years had
been finally settled. Recent develop
ments, however, prove that such is not
the case. Howard Moore of Mercer
county. Missouri, who owns 500 acres
on the Missouri border, and William
Mclaughlin OF Decatur county, Iowa,
have caused all the trouble. Moore
now claims that Mclaughlin is more
than foot over the border and has or
dered him to move back. The latter
insists that his fence is exactly on the
line marked by the commission and
doesn't propose to move an inch.

Labor Trnuhlcs AIT WASHINGTON. Ind.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 4.-Advices from
Washington, Ind, are to the effect that
no renewal of last nights riotous pro-
ceedings has occurred. 1t is understood
that the men who drove the negro
miners from their. homes last night
Were mostly miners who had been dis
charged from these mines sometime
ago and had since been employed at
Pana, Ills, and elsewhere. There is
no confirmation today of loss of life in
last nights proceedings. The houses
in which the negroes resided are badly
wrecked. Several of the imported labor
ers are to lie seen upon the streets today
and it is thought the whites will make
another raid upon them tonight, as they
are determined to rid the county of non
union miners. Public sympathy is with
the strikers.

There is a fable somewhere in the
books of the starving fox and the over
trusting chicken. Ii was first told in
those days when animals could talk and
it may well serve TO point q moral at
this time. A fox who was starving
came along one day and sat down under
tree in whose branches u spring
chicken was roosting out of harm sway.
The fox looked up and saw that the
chicken was plump and well favored
bird and realized chat it would fill q
long felt want in his interior depart.

"Come down and let us take counsel
together" said the fox.

by the fact that it is about the hour for
