 The Bramme Miller land suit which has been pending in the State Supreme Court for some time was taken up and decided last Sat urday.

 Quite an interesting law suit was pulled off in 'Squiro Grahams s court Monday. The suit was the outcome ot a ''green goods" scheme by which some of our farmers were recently duped. Monroe Parker, Johnta Phillips and oth. CTS were led into the belief by a sharper that they could secure S200 in money for about S70. The money they were to receive was not the genuine, Of course, but It was said to be so perfect an imita- ton that bankers and detectives could not tell the difference. The delivery was to have been made at Springfield. Mo-, last April. Accordingly the boys went there to receive tn cir "goods" but after all the preliminary ar engagements were gone through with, which included the boys put ting up the cash for the money they expected to receive, it was suddenly discovered that they had been swindled, no money showed up, and nothing remained for them to do but return homo busted. It appeared that Parker and Phillips were unable 10 furnish the necessary amount of the genuine cash they were to put up, so they gave their note in part payment and it was this note on which the controversy was had Monday. IL had drifted into the hands of w G. Hanbury of this place and he had sned upon it. The court gave judgement in favor of MT. Hanbury but the defendants will appeal to the circuit court. The prosecution was represented by F. o. Butt and the defense by ". c. and A. J. Russell.

In recent editorial concerning
politics in this state, and by particular
ly commencing some of the legislative
nominations of former citizens of Iowa
especially State Senator Dorr and
Judge Calvert, of Whatcom - the
Iowa State Register, the leading jour
nal of that great state, says:
"There are many former citizens of
Iowa now residing in the state of WASH
ington, and nearly all of them are act
lively entering into the campaign to
redeem the state to Republicnism and
the rule of principles that will give that
and all other states renewed growth.
No state can reach its rightful measure
of prosperity under the rule of Populist
howlers and destroyers. This is the
year to turn down that sort of malcOn-
tents In all the states and thus make
certain that 1899, the closing year of
the century, will be a year OF unequal
ed Jubilee, because of the greatest gen.
eral prosperity the people Of the United
States have ever known. The Register
congratulates the Republicans of Wash
ington on the nomination of such cap
able and influential candidates, and
believes that it will have the OppOr-
tunity to congratulate them on the re-
demption of their state by the verdict
of the November ballot boxes"

premises they occupy should be COM
PEELED to do 80 by law, In the interest
Of the general welfare.

THE supporters Of high American
periodical literature evidently have
little sympathy with the cause of free
silver and its kindred fallacies, for the
only great monthly periodical in the
country committed to that cause, 1.-THE
Arena" las been compelled to cease
publication. It was one of the CHIEF
oracles of the Bryanite agitators of 1896,
who were loaded to the muzzle with
quotations from its pages. They prob
ably subscribed to its doctrines without
subscribing to the magazine, and their
"moral support" was rot sufficient to
satisfy editors, contributors, printers,
binders and paper manufacturers. 1t
has met the same fate which befel
"The Standard" the able weekly paper
established, or rather started, by Henry
George in New York a number of years
ago as the chief exponent in this coun-
try of Mr.. Georges views of land
ownership and taxation, 80 clearly and
strongly expressed in his Progress and
Poverty" 1.-THE Land Question"
"Social Problems" and other economic
writings. 1.-THE Standard" and 1.-THE
Arena" were far ADLER opponents in
their respective fields than the views
which they represented are likely to
have again in this country for many
wears.

THE fall rains are here again, putting
an end to the long dry season and re-
plenishing the store of water in wells
which had become nearly or quite dry.
At this season of each year, or earlier,
there should be general and thorough
cleaning of wells, and every possible
care taken at all seasons to prevent
contamination of the water used for
domestic purposes, or for the watering
of stock. To the lack of the simplest
precautions in this respect typhoid
fever, now universally recognized as q
preventable disease, may very often be
attributed. 1t is q filth disease, propa-
gated always by unwholesome sanitary
conditions. The typhoid contagion is
not breathed in with the air, but is
communicated through the absorption
OF impurities into the sy stem. Impure
water, impure milk, or the neglect
somewhere of the most obvious sanitary
precautions, furnishes the cause. It is
estimated, and probably accurately,
that we have thus far lost more soldiers
from typhoid than from wounds re-
Q aved IN battle, and the roll is not vet
Q mplete, for in camp and hospital
hundreds OF men are still suffering
from this disease. People who will not
voluntarily observe the simplest SAM
tary precautions in the care Of the

THE NEXT NATIONAL SENATE.

There now seems to be rather more
than a Fighting chance" for the Re
publicans to control the next federal
senate. The Oregon vacancy having
been filled by the election of sound
money Republican the present senate
consists of "A Republicans, "a Demo-
Gratis, silver Republicans and s Popu-
lists, including in the last number the
Nevada senators. OF the 80 senators
whose terms expire March next, II
are Republicans, Is Democrats. 2 silver
Republicans and Populists. The Re
publicans are Aldrich of Rhode Island,
Burrows of Michigan, Clark of Wyom-
ing, Davis of Minnesota, Hale of Maine,
Hanna Of Ohio, Hawley of Connecti-
cut, Lodge of Massachusetts,, Proctor of
Vermont, Quay of Pennsylvania, and
Wilson of Washington. The states
named are all sure to return Republi-
can senators, with the possible excep-
tion of our own state, in which the
number of Populist hold-overs in the
upper house imposes a particularly
hard fight upon the Republicans
Nevertheless there are many close OBJ
servers and efficient workers who seem
to be hopeful if not actually confident
of Republican success.
OF the Is Democratic seats to be va
Gated, Republicans may win Maryland,
Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey,
Indiana, California and North Dakota.
The other eight will be kept by the
silver Democracy. If the Republicans
capture three of the seven states named
they will have majority of the senate
If they keep the Washington seat, or
tie the body if they lose Washington.
Capturing four of the states would give
Republicans majority anyway, and
of course taking the whole list of seven
would give us what is called "a good
working majority"
