IOWA CROPS AND HARVEST.
Dunlap Herald: Farmers have been
swamped with work during the past
two weeks. Between haying, harvest
ing and threshing their time has been
occupied every. spare moment. But they
are happy and that is worth two sec
lions of Kansas land.
Esthervlle Republican: F. n. Lath-
rop, of Swan Lake, reports the pros
poets very bright for the biggest corn
crop ever grown in this section of the
state. The stand is unusually good and
the stocks uncommonly we'll cared,
some having as high as five we'll devel-
oped ears and three and four being
quite common. All that is to be feared
now is an early frost and that is not
probable. Oats will yield we'll but will
be of a poor quality Neither will wheat
| be as good as expected. The hot and
wet weather injured both considerably.
| Ocheyedan Press: James Hall, near
| town, threshed his crop of barley Mon
day. He reports forty bushels to the
acre and good quality. - The flax
Ecrop in this locality is the most promis-
ing that it has been for years. Twelve
! to fifteen bushels per acre is the aver
| age estimate.

there be an overflow of gasoline when
filling the reservoir, or from the burner,
wipe 1t carefully up before lighting the
burner. If the overflow should become
ignited, smother it with a blanket or
cloths. Do not throw water on 1t, as
that spreads the gasoline and increases
the danger. Flour will sQuelch the
flames quickly. This Is true of the ac-
cidental ignition of any quantity of gas
oline or kerosene. Keep the reservoir
continually closed air tight.
Fifth. If from a leakage of stove
or vessel, there is discovered an odor
of gasoline in a room that has been
closed throw open the doors and win
dows until the air is changed before
a match is struck or flame OF any
kind is permitted therein.

Eighth. Never attemp, 90 clean gloves
on the hand nor dresses with gasoline,
near flame or stove. The fire from
the stove will draw the yapor from the
gasoline through the crevices and ignite
like a lightning flash. If gasoline is
spilled upon your clothing remove the
garment at once. keeping entirely away
from flame of any kind. The deodor-
izing of gasoline for toilet use does not
change its explosive nature"

which would in turn prevent Harrison

tribution was in the way of false count
no one will ever know. 1t is certain,
| though, that possibilities of that kind are
not meager when both party machines,
with all the election machinery in their
hands, have the same general purpose in
view. Through Hanna's interposition,
then, Harrison's election was accom-
plished, and with it a Harrison delegation
from the state Of Illinois to the next dem
ocratic national convention was virtually
guaranteed. Should Illinois prove to be a
pivotal state in that convention, Richard
Croker will thus become to the democratic
party what Mark Hanna is now to the re
publicans, and Mckinley's reelection will
be assured without the expenditure of
another large campaign fund.
In his defeat, John 2. Altgeld needs no
commiseration. SO far as he is personally
concerned, he may rather be congratulated
upon his escape from onerous, exacting
and ungrateful duties in the administration
of the affairs of great city. 1t is the I'M
privileged masses of Chicago who are to be
commiserated. John p. Altgeld is one of
the few public men of this generation

cordial hatred of the privileged classes,

he at least will have done all that lay in
his power to prevent those results. Even
more than that is to be credited to his ,n-
successful mayoralty campaign. He
called forth and brought cohesion to
radical sentiment regarding municipal
rights and duties which will have to be
reckoned with most seriously in the early
future. A compact following of 10000
democratic voters in the city alone, is
fact that will make Tammany politicians
wipe the sweat from their brows when
they consider the chances of carrying

Washington says:
The following extract is from a private
letter, dated March II, received by q
naval officer in Washington, from friend
in Manila II relates to Assistant Engineer
Emory Winship, of the gunboat Benning
ton Mr.. Winship is from Georgia, and
was graduated from the Naval Academy
in July, 1896:
"Winship did fine thing last week, 4"
says the writer:
"A landing party of about 1876, from the
Bennington, went ashore on Malabon i'm
several boats, and n launch remained,
with Winship and two men as boatkeep-
crs and to watch steam. The landing
party advanced fooIshly without scouts
aud precautions, and were suddenly set
upon by u regiment of Fililinos. They
fled for the beach to the boats, pursued
by the natives, and were hard pressed
Seeing this, Winship unlimbered the re-
volving cannon in the bow of the launch
and turned it loose upon tho pursuers. He
kept up n deadly fire and thirty Filipinos
were killed or disabled. He stood Off the
whole gang, enabling our party to get to
their boats safely. He then fell, having
received five bullets. Taussig says that
but for Winship none of the party would
have escaped"

saying:
"The time is going to come when the

same ms they now get their letters delivered
to them by the postal system.
Municipal control Is as easily handled
as is governmental control. Politics
would not be able to cut any figure. In
every separate organization where the SER
wants of the company, government or
municipality, are subject to examination
by public sentiment, where free access to
the inner workings is made possible, no
corruption is found. II Is only IN the hid

Defroits Street Railway Experiment.

The city of Detroit has decided TO tes
the praeticablity of public Ownership O
Public Franchises" On Saturday the
City Council. by virtue of authority yestet
in it by a recent act of the Legislature
appointed a Street Railway Commission
with the power to purchase or lease any
street railway in Detroit, including all un.
used franchises. Governor Pingree is at
the head of the Commission, and to his un.
tiring work is due the passage of the law.
| The Commission is prohibited from in
curing any debt on behalf of the city ex-
cept it be chargeable solely to the railway
property it controls. It cannot grant or ex-
tend any franchises. The Council has the
power to examine the Commissioners books
at any time. The street railway property
alone is responsible for damages or other
suits arising out ofthe conduct of the bust
ness. The Commissioners must give q
bond of $3.50. 900. They are appointed by
the Mayor for terms of two, four and six
years, respectively. the appointment to be
confirmed by the Council.
These arc the chief points in the law.
The city's interests are closely guarded.
The Commissioners are granted every pow
er necessary to the conduct of the street
railway business.
This is the most importan step yet TAX
en- by an American city in the direction of
municipal ownership. It's development will
be watched with exceeding interest. The
people of Detroit are heartily in favor of
it. With Governor Pngree as the guiding
spirit there is no question that the street
RAILWAYS owned by the city will be wisely
managed. and that the highest point of
efficiency with the least cost to the public
will be maintained.

Washington, April Representative
Charles B. Landis, of the Ninth Indiana
District, is in Washington to tell the Ad-
ministration of the drift of anti trust SEN
timent among the people. He has been
out in Indiana since the close of Congress,
and he unhesitatingly affirms that the
question Of trusts, how to check them and
to fix responsibility for their recent unpre-
cedented growth is the paramount one be-
fore the voters of his State.
ut is bigger question now," said Mr..
lands to-day, ethan the problem of 16 to
was when it first became a subject for
national discussion. It makes by far the
largest cloud upon the republican horizon,
and it will come before Congress and the
Legislatures of the different States in the
near future, with the people demanding
that it be settled am glad that Secre-
tary Gage called attention to the problem
in his recent speech in New York. be-
lieve it is the gravest question now con
fronting u.s."
Mr.. Lands called on the Secretary of
the Treasury to-day and told him of the
tremendous antitrust sentiment among
the rank and fle Of the Republican party
of Indiana.
The administration has received simila
warnings from other sources. These were
the direct causes of the action instituted

to do with the decision Of the Industrial
commission appointed by the President to
inaugurate an investigation Of trusts in all

"The Federal Steel Company is organ

the lake front in Chicago, and yet another

The Chicago Chronicle calls attention to
bills to promote the formation Of corpo-
rate trusts now before the Legislatures of
the States OF Illinois and Missouri.
A measure known as the Berry trust bill
in the Illinois Legislature has passed the
Senate, where it had almost no opposition,
and is pending in the House, where the
committee report, il is said, is likely to be
In its favor. A sweeping bill TO legalize
trusts has been introduced In the Missouri
Legislature and is said TO be certain OF
passage in both houses.
The Illinois Legislature is Republican,
while that Of Missouri is Democratic; but
it is believed by the Chronicle, which il q
Democratic paper, that the same interests
are behind both bills, and that the law
makers Of both States are under the
control Of those powerful interests.
