Joseph Kapler, manager of the
North Iowa Seed Farm Informs us that
on Friday he shipped l25 bushels of
seed potatoes to far of Massachusetts.
This seed farm is achieving an envia-
BILE reputation as its seeds are sent
out each succeeding year and will
doubtless in a few years be one of the
big institutions of Cresco and vicinity.
The Daughters OF the King and the
ladies of the Episcopal church wish to
thank all those who assisted in max
ing their Easter Carnival success
and especially to Prof. Tonolli's Or
chestra, Edith Webster for the arrange
ment Of the Living Pictures, to Mr..
Ole Lofthus or the coffee used at the
first supper and to Mr.. VIM. Kellow
for the coffee used at the last supper.
Mrs. Clark, mother of Ralph Clark

died at his home in the city Tuesday,
and was laid to rest in St. Joseph

The Easter Carnival.

The Daughters of the King aided
by the ladies of Grace Episcopal
church gave very successful enter
tainment at the Opera House Mon
day evening. The early part of the
evening was devoted to music, vocal
and instrumental, recitations, living
pictures and other amusements.
Supper was served IRON 5 o'clock to
s, and again for those attending the
dance given by the Woodmen of the
World from about II to / q. IN. The
suppers of the evening were excellent
for the price SO cents a couple, about
80 persons being seated at time
carefully and we'll served by daugh-
ters of the church. The Daughters
of the King had large quantity of
fancy articles and fine home made
candies on sale all of which were dis
posed of. An elegant silk quilt was
on the tapis to be disposed of by vote
to the most popular young man of
Cresco, each: vote costing the sum
of ten cents. There were four con-
testants for the prize, with a score or
more working and soliciting votes
for favorites. AT 12 o'clock Rev.
Gorrell stated how the vote stood for
each candidate and that half an hour
would be given to silent voting. The
friends of the contestants then COM
menced dropping dollars into the
ballot box representing their favorite.
In such a contest dollars talk, each
dollar representing ten votes. At the
close of the contest each box was
opened and its contents counted
showing that the voting on the quilt
had brought the ladies $50 and oyer,
and that Chas. O'Malley had a
handsome majority of the votes cast.
The entire proceeds of the Carnival
was $4,000 leaving the Daughters the
snug sum of $140 or thereabouts
after all expenses were paid. The
ladies of the church are entitled to a
large degree of credit for the indomit-
able spirit and energy they have put
into this work and are entitled to all
the credit they have won. Innumbers
they are few in work and organiza-
tion they are a host.

CONSUL BEDLOE'S CASE,
Expected to Arrive Here Next Week to
Answer the Charges.

United States Consul Bed.oe is expected
to reach Washington about the beginning
of next week to make explanation to the
State Department officials of the charges
which led to his suspension consul at
Canton. AS to the nature of these charges,
the State Department officials are naturally
reticent. But at least in some part they
date back more than two years, and to a
time just after the arrival of Dr. Bedloe
at his post. 1t is believed that he became
involved in trouble with the local Chinese
authorities, in connection with some Amer
lean concession. The matter was not re-
ported to Washington through the medium
OF the Chinese legation here. and came
to the attention of the department in rath-
er an incidental fashion. 1t was Secretary
Hay himself who directed the inquiry into
this subject. which has just been conclud-
ed. and forms the basis of the speCifica-
tionS upon which Consul Bedloe was sus-
pended. 1t cannot be ascertained whether
not any incident growing out of the
Philippine insurrection forms a part of the
allegations. against the consul.

the admiral and of rear admirals of the
navy are not entitled to the additional pay
given to similar aids on the personal staff
of the general and major generals Of the

of the line of the navy they receive the
same pay as officers of corresponding rank
in the army, and extra pay cannot be
given as aids do not constitute a rank.
Furthermore, there is no law in the navy
