Upper Des Moines Editorial Meeting.

Week before last we attended the
winter meeting of the Upper DesMoines
Editorial Association at Eagle Grove in
Wright county. The meeting was well
attended. Several very interesting pa
pers were read followed by some lively
discussions. One of the best papers,
most interesting from the publishers
standpoint, and we believe from the
business mans as well, was one by Mr..
Tiede, one of the most successful bust :
ness men Of Wright county, on advertis.
ing. Mr.. Tiede lives at Belmond, which
is only a small town, but by judicious
and, systematic advertising is reported
to have the largest and best trade in the
county, having his regular customers in
Eagle Grove, Clarion and the country
surrounding these towns. He said his
advertising was just as much part OF
his business rs his clerk hire, fuel, rents,
or taxes. He said he prepared his mat
ter very carefully, and when prepared it
was llBJ the same as III ITO ldo VIC Up
portunity to talk to each one of his read
ers. He was particularly careful to say
only that which visit to his store prov
ed to be absolutely true, so that those
who came in response to the cad" re-
manned his customers. He had no use
for circulars, the printing, postage, etc.,
making them very expensive as compar-
ed to newspaper advertising, and the
circular, if not read on first receipt, was
never looked after. Another statement
he made was, he never advertised the
other fellow He also had special sale
days, on which he had to increase his
force to as many as twenty five. All
this in town containing, according to
thescensus of 1895, 1l72 persons. In a
great degree Mr.. Tiede's success as a
merchant he attributed to advertising
through local newspapers which were
read. The citizens of Eagle Grove gave
all the editors free tickets to the Wilt
tbs lecture, and after it banquet

The idea seems to be growing that
the list from which a republican shall
be chosen to the United States senate
next January does not necessarily have
to be limited to two men only. There
are others as we'll fitted by mental and
physical abilities, by experience in
public matters, and who are as close
to republican principles and to the
people of our great state as are the two
gentlemen most prominently men
toned. While one may excel in some
particulars no one or no two excel all
others in all particulars. Let us elect
a good republican legislature first.
There is good field to choose from.

A veteran of the war for the Union
was recently expressing his opinion to
the writer about the so called priya-
tions and hardships Of the soldiers in
the recent war. His mind ran back to
his war experiences in 1861 to '65 and
he told of their bill of fare which in
scantiness and lack of variety would
have given the grumbler in this war
something to grumble for if they had
to subsist on such rations. At one time
they were on one-fourth rations for sew
eral days and then had nothing at all
for five days. That was war. But
their grumbling was slight. They
were made of heroic stuff and could en-
dure for their country.

The freight rates from here to Chica-
go are bound to be reduced soon, says
the Sioux City Journal in q we'll con-
sidered editorial. The reduction from
about eighteen cents hundred to
about ten cents will come, and it will
be quite revolution. And, by the
way, it will give new impetus to Iowa
prosperity. This reduction is forced
on the railways leading to Chicago not
by legislation but by something more
effective, competition. The opening
up of new routes to the sea coast, the
routes to Duluth and by way of the
Great Lakes, and the route to Port
Arthur and the Gulf, are the compel
ing lines that are making the old roads
meet the inevitable. These new lines fol-
lowing more natural grades are making
it possible to construct their lines
cheaper and haul bigger loads to the
sea ports. A lower price for building
material also helps them build cheaper.
Altogether they are able to make lower
rates than the old roads and the latter
are preparing to meet them. But the
Northwestern system, for example, is
making its grades easier clear across
Iowa and putting in double track.
Other lines are making like improve
ments and soon they will be ready to
meet the new rates.

Quincy and the Chicago and Northwest

special representative and correspondent
Of McClure's Magazine, made the trip
from start to finish" Full details OF
the round trip, from Chicago to Omaha
which is the most recent and at the

many reasons the most interesting and
exciting Grace against time" ever
made in this country, are wildly de-
scribed as they actually presented
themselves to the writer, who
rode in the cab by the side of the engin

Considerable opposition is appearing
among republicans over the country
against Speaker Reeds apparent op-
position to the wishes of the party on
many questions. Recently he seems
to be failing to fill the American ideal
of the presiding officer being the in
strument of the majority. He rather
seems to think his own wishes should
prevail in the action the house takes
rather than the wishes of majority of
his party associates. He ought to keep
step with his party or not be speaker
of the house.

HE WILI TAKE THE HOUSE

When Rear Admiral Upshur suggest ed in letter to the Brooklyn Eagle that a fund be raised to build Admiral Dewey house in Washington the Eagle promptly and vigorously acted on the suggestion, and started the movement which has resulted in the contribution of over s50,000, Some who thought they knew Dewey pretty we'll were so sure that ke wouldn't want the proposed gift that they succeeded in chilling the original ardor by their as- sertions, but in spite of the drawbacks there are over s5O,0oO on hand now and more Is expected. Yesterday at the full meeting of the Dewey Home Fund committee, held in the office of Assistant Secretary of the Navy Charles Allen, Admiral Dewey was present, accepted the gift, and told what he would like in the way of a house in Washington. He made the following statement: NO friend was ever dutHOTlEed tO Intimate or lnQlcate that the proposition to purchase and present to me a house in Washington was not desired by me. I was delight ed at the idea when I first heard of it and it has grown on me until it is one of the most precious things in my memory. I shall receive this home in the same spirit and believe that 1t comes to me with the same motive and practically the same hand as the sword presented to me by the president from congress and representing the affection and esteem of the people,"
 Alls we'll that ends we'll, and the Admiral will have his house as soon as 1t can be bought 1t having been de- cided to buy and not to build Had it been known months ago that the plan to give him house would please him there would have been much more mon- ey in the hands of the committee than there is. But pretty good house can be bought for s5O,oOO or s6o, ,OoO

SH.4 RIP,

There are some pretty sharp people
 In the wide and generous West. For | instance, twenty dollars a month for twenty months is to be paid by the
 owner of a business block in Mil- | waukee for the privilege of having sum- light in one window of his building. This is thought in Milwaukee to be the
 first case wherein property-owner is to get revenue for permitting the
 sunlight to pass unobstructed over his
 premises for the benefit of his neighbor The latter had rented room in his building on condition that it be pro-
 vded with natural light. This was ef- fected by cutting a window in the wall
 overlooking the property of neighbor
 The latter promptly shut off the light with a tight wood screen. When re- monstrated with, he took the position
 that the light was his, and that as he had right to erect building on his lot he had right to put up any kind of a structure permitted by law. An inquiry by the attorney for the other party developed no flaw in the position taken by the light purveyor, and his
 terms of $20 per month had to be met
 His neighbors, he said, could have nothing belonging to him without pay ing for it. He was not proud of the transa ction, however, and requested the newspapers to say nothing about the incident,

in particular capacity the return to horses, tongue and the old front wheels is easy and inexpensive. The one objection to the Vorspan is that 1t gives heavy look to the carriage at point where any increase of ma- chinery is conspicuous and not likely to improve the appearance of the ve- hicle. But this objection could not ap- ply in the case of trucks, delivery wagons or to any of what may be term ed business wagons.

THE THIRD TIM TC,

Third time never fails" as the boys say. The indications now are that the third attempt to have race between the Columbia and the Shamrock will not fail. A fresh wind and a heavy sea are likely to be present at the begin- ming of the race to-day. and perhaps they will last through it. At any rate, it is confidently expected by "old salts" that the wind will last long enough and be strong enough to blow the yachts It would be melancholy if there should happen to be too much wind.
