county. Delaware county land is choice
property and Mr.. Ward has made no
mistake in his large Investment.
Mrs. Geo. Harrison received the
news last week of the tragic death of
her brother, Samuel Holroyd, on his
ranch near Lake City, Colorado. Mr..
Holroyd was for many years resident
of this county, living about two miles
northeast of Edgewood. Twelve years
ago he moved west and took up claim
from the government and cultivated
the land unmolested and unquestioned
until three years ago. Then two foreign
ers set up claim to the land and told
Mr.. Holroyd to vacate it and not to re-
sist their claim because they would
never let the land be of use to him if he
kept It, The case was taken to the
courts and short time ago decision
was handed down by the supreme
court of the state in favor of Mr.. Holy.
rod. During the course of the trial the
irrigating bitches that supplied the
land with water, were repeatedly shut
off which necessitated a journey of
several miles on the part of Mr.. Holy
rod to put them in operation again.
Soon after the decision in the case was
announced, the bitches were found
turned off and he started for the hills
to turn them on again. He was found
next morning with bullet hole in the
back of his head. His friends and
family have little doubt but that the
cowardly act was commisted by the
contestants for the land and the
authorities are making thorough in
vestigation. He leaves two children

A Word of Explanation.

l wish to correct the announcement
that have withdrawn my name as the
nominee of the republican party in
Delaware county for the office of Super
intendent of Schools. Its appearance in
the Manchester Press of last week was
due to a misunderstanding between the
editor of that paper and myself, for
which the former is not to be blamed.
l had thought of taking that step
later, due to reports that a feeling of
dissatisfaction existed throughout the
county and that the action of the con-
vention was not thevoice of the peo-
Pile as expressed in the resolutions pass,
ed by the teachers at the Summer
School. But after due deliberation
and consultation with friends and re-
publicans throughout the county find
that these reports cannot be verified.
Finding that the sentiment is in
accord with the convention, and re.
cognizing on deliberation my duty to
the party that nominated me, l shall
accept the nomination and shall do my
best for the election of the whole ticket.
! wish to thank the convention at
this time for its hearty support and be-
speak the support of all at the polls.

Last Wednesday at 1920 q. m. oc-
Cured the marriage of John W. Carroll,
of Rockwell, Iowa, and Miss Matilda
q. Ripper.
The altar of the church was besuti-
fully decorated with flowers and lighted
candles. Father O'Meara OBLIGATED and
read the ritual of the Holy Catholic
Church with great solemnity. He was
clad in his ecclesiasticle garments, as
were several small boys, who waited
upon him as the services required.
Miss May Roney played the Wedding
March. The bridal party then entered
the church. The bride and groom, &C.
companied by the brother of the bride,
John Ripper, and sister of the groom,
Miss Carroll, all knelt in prayer, then
walked to the altar where Father
O'Meara united them in the holy bonds
of matrimony.
. The ceremony occupied about one
hour and was interspersed by beautiful
vocal music.
The bride was attired in soft drap-
cries of white, the silken sleeves were
lined with tleecy lace and garnitures
of ribbons and buckles adorned the silk
yoke of the bodice, enhancing the
beauty of the 1.-the graceful form.
Natural roses tied by soft white satin
ribbon were carried in the right hand
of the bride. The groom was clad in
conventional black.
The bridesmaid was arrayed in q
charming costume Of white, and wore
natural flowers, as did the bride.
Back of the bridal party was Mrs.
Ripper, mother of the bride, and two
little daughters clad in white, with
them their sister Lena. A dinner was
served at the residence of Mrs. Ripper
to about 40 guests and was presided
over by Miss Jennie Langhammer.
The repast was bountiful and well pre-.
pared, and thoroughly pleasant time
ensued. Many elegant presents were
given the bride, some dishes of solid
silver. Both of the young people are
held in highest estimation. Those at
tending from abroad were: Chas. Behr
and wife, Misses Anna and Kate Car
roll, of Rockwell, Miss Leoler, of Cedar
Rapids, and Miss Niederfrank, of
Greeley. Congratulations are extended
! by all friends.

Township Display.

The manager of the fair would call
the attention of the citizens of the diff
ferent townships to the "Premiums in
Gold" on page 81, of the premium list.
In offering these premiums it was the
intention of those in charge of the fair
to bring out that interest which every
man and boy in the county should have
in his township. There is not town
ship in the county but could make q
splendid display of vegetables and grains
from its own soil. And now if the
farmers of the various townships will
set about it at once in good natured
strife for township honors, we may have
not only the finest display of farm pro-
auctions that this county ever saw, but
one which has not been surpassed by
any county in the state.
Let each farmer, as soon as he dis
covers that he has an uncommonly fine
sample of corn, wheat, oats, barley, cab
bage, potatoes or anything else in list
on page 81, get it ready and notify his
township committee. Thus, with very
little trouble, the committee of each
township may have an abundance of
material with which to make town
ship display.
You will notice on page 81, of the
Premium List that the township dis
play may consist of the entire list on
said page, and yet if any township
should be able to secure each and every
article named it may enter its collection
just the same, for it is very probable
that many of the townships will not be
able to make display of the entire list.
Ample and equal space will be given
each township for display and decora-
ton. Will not every township begin at
once to plan for q fine showing of farm
products.
Boys, look through your fathers corn
field and find where you can husk
bushel of that big white corn or go
through your potato and tomato or cab
bage patches and send word to your
township committeeman that you have
some old whoppers for them.
The following is your township COM
mittees who will receive and enter for
display your farm produce:

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN

for Week Ending Monday,
July 81, 1899.

Aor w eek EnQlnS monday,
July 81, 1899.
Dies MONIES, Iowa,
August 1, 1899.
The past week was seasonably warm
with considerable excess of rainfall,
and more than the normal amount of
cloudiness and humidity. The heaviest
rain fall was in the central and south
ern districts, but all sections of the
state received an ample supply of mois-
ture for present needs. Some damage
to corn and grain was caused by
severe storms of wind with heavy down
pours of rain in numerous localities;
but the benefits resulting from the
timely and liberal supply of moisture
will very greatly exceed the local and
incidental damage, and the larger part
OF the state early corn is caring finely,
and the condition of the entire crop is
generally promising. Potatoes, pas
ture and garden vegetables have been
greatly improved by the recent rains.
Reports of crop correspondents for
August LIST have been tabu'ated, and
the following averages are shown in
the condition of the l,nharvested crops;
Corn, 80 per cent; millet, "a; flax, 90;
buckwheat, so; broom corn, IS; sor-
ghum, 81; potatoes, 100; apples, SO;
grapes, 4S; pastures, "a.
1t will be noted that the reports show
an improve nent of percent in the
condition of corn since July LIST.

Daniel Gilbert.

Daniel Gilbert, deceased, was born in
the town of Green, Chenango County
New York State, Oct. 10, 1916. When
nineteen years of age he married Miss
Harriet Marsh, with whom he lived a
long and happy life. Few marriages
were more happy. The fruit of this
marriage was eight children, three died
in infancy, one, a daughter at the age
of twenty The remaining four
survive him.
In 1889 he moved to Illinois where
he lived till 1857 when he came to Iowa,
locating first at Manchester, then after
one year, removing to Forestville,
where he spent the remaining years of
his life. For many years he was q
trader, keeping general store. He
was a man of wide acquaintance and
widely known, one of the early pioneers,
with all his dealings with his fellow
men he was known to be upright,
honest and just. He was a peace
maker, and never had an enemy in the
world. In enterprises which promoted
the public good he was among the fore
most, not only by influence but accord
ing to his ability. One of the early set
tiers, he always took an active and
deep interest in the affairs of town and
state. In politics he was a staunch
and strong republican, q man to be re-
lied upon. His last years were calm
and peaceful. He gradually lost vital
ity and strength, and, July 90 he
quietly passed from this world of bliss
and glory where all the saints of God
unite.
The funeral services were attended
by the most of his children and grand.
children, together with large number
of his friends and townsmen, and al
though he had long passed his time of
activity ana usefulness, it was appar-
ent that the public feeling was, that a
good man had fallen, that an old land
mark was removed, and on whom
should his mantle now rest. The
scene when the children and friends
took q last look at their departed one
was very affecting. His remains were
deposited in the village cemetery
where we trust they will remain until
the resurrection of the just and right
eous, who shall celebrate Christ's re-
deeming love throughout eternal day
