The average temperature of the past
week was slightly above normal, with
about the usual amount Of sunshine.
The first part of the week was showery
and the latter part generally fair. Elk
cept in portions of the northeast and
southeast districts conditions were fa
vorable for drying up surplus moisture,
and placing the soil in condition for
cultivation, and completing the work of
planting where it had been retarded by
excessive rains.
1t has been the best week of the sea
son and the crop situation is consider
ably improved. Fair progress has been
made In cultivating corn; the fields pre-
sent a cleaner appearance, and the
plants better color. In portions OF
of the southeast district planting oper-
ations will be continued throughout the
coming week, if weather is favorable
and at best some of the land intended
for corn will be sown to forage crops OF
abandoned.

GOLDEN WEDDING.

NSA~OAAAN I" 0AASAANNs
Wednesday, June 18th, 1899, was the
tiftieth anniversary of the marriage Of
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Eldridge, of Milo
township. The occasion was duly cele-
brated by the gathering at the Eldridge
home of large crowd of old settlers
and friends of the family. The fore
noon was spent in shaking hands with
those that came from different parts of
the county to pay respects to the host
and hostess on this memorable occa-
sion. The large dining table was set in
the house and long table was placed
on the lawn and they fairly groaned
with the bountiful supply of good
things there, for Mr.. Eldridge had kill
ed the fatted calf and the delicate and
juicy meat with the other fine eatables
was good enough for an epicure. After
the guests were seated at the tables,
Rev King returned thanks to the Giver OF
all good. After dinner Judge A. S. Blair

them he mentioned John Clark. John
LilliDridge Joel Bailey, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Eldridge who were the only sur
vivors of those early days, occupying
the farm purchased from the govern.
ment nearly forty six years ago. The
Judge then presented the worthy couple |
with the rocking chairs they were occu
plying, as mementos of respect from
their children, and in beh alf Of the as
sembled guests gold watch to each

cluslon of the judges remarks MIR. FL

ly for their kind visit and remember
ance on his eventful occasion.
The children present at the anniver-
sary were: |. Il. Eldredge accompani ed

Placeryille, California, with his wife
and three children; George, of Fayette,
with four children; Caleb, of Sible.
Julius, wife and child and Herman, of

able to come. Julia and Addie of

There were twenty-four grandchildren

Manchester Loses Both Games to
the Nebraska Indians.
Owing to the heavy rain on Tuesday
of last week, the base ball enthusiasts
were compelled to forego one of the
games which had been scheduled for
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Wednesday, however, proved fair and
the first meeting between the Nebraska
Indians and the Manchester Stonts was
called in the afternoon at 300. The
Indians had their first say as to what
should be done with the twirler, and in
trica they had found Stoner, and they
dubbed the ball 80 far out, that six
men toured the diamond before three
put outs had occurred. Manchester's
bat was disastrous, Selene and his balls
being mystery hard to solve. The
first inning was discouraging to the
home boys and they made little head
way against the great odds "forninst"
them. The following is the official

PEELED to close down at noon yesterday
for lack of ore. For some weeks the

were obtained. The selections were

Boulder's musical circles, mandolin

"WILL STAGGER HUMANITY. >:

The reports coming from the
scene of hostilities in the Trans
vaal have thus far only shown
that nothing like reliable informa-
ton of the progress Of events can
be expected for an indefinite
period. All means of communica-
ton available will be in the con-
troll of the imperial authorities,
and the news will from beginning
to end be colored by British feel
ings and hopes.
The struggle will be q des-
perate one. Right or wrong,
strong or weak, whatever the con-
ditions may be which confront the
Beers, that people will never
withdraw from the struggle while
it remains possible to put in the
field battalion of troops.
The devotion of the Boer race
to their liberties has found most
intense and eloquent expression
in a recent cable message trans
mitted by President Kruger to the
the New York World. The old
warrior knows the awful under
taking on which his people have
entered, and he knows, too, the
spirit of his people.
''The republics are determined
that if they must belong to Eng
land the price will stagger human
ity.' That is his message to the
American people in the hour of
his and his peoples extremity.
It is the message of the leader of
a people who, whatever be their
hopes, are without decisions. It
is the cry Of the modern gladiator
going to his death. It holds no
appeal. It proclaims to the free

SUBJECTS of Great Britain can
have nothing but feelings of dis
gust for the heir apparent to the
throne, who has lately capped the
climax of the miserable failure
that his life has been by placing
himself as the central figure in q
distressing family scandal. In
stead of this being the case he
should be taking a prominent part
in the warlike operations which
holds closely the attention Of the
English speaking people in South
Africa, endeavoring to retrieve,
as far as possible, his mispent
career. The monarchy of the Old
World trembles and totters and it's
downfall is only fastened by the
apparent succession to power of
such Anticipated imbeciles as the
Prince Of Wales.
