people Of Georgia attempted to use
Gen. j. b. Weaver as an incubator by
presenting him with eggs on which the
statute of limitation had run, he has
been very quiet. But he seems to have
come out of hiding at last and an
nounces himself as opposed to ieNpan-
sion. 1t brings relief to know how he
stands. We feared all along he might
favor it, and as the general is univer-
sally wrong on all public questions we
are now satisfied that no further evil
dence is needed 10 prove that eNpan-
sion is correct. The general serves as
barometer. 1t is always safe to take
an opposite view of anything he adj
vocates.

A keynote sounder.

Clinton Herald: General Weaver in
his ColfaX speech struck the keynote
OF the democratic campaign. The gen
eral has been in the democratic key
note business for number of years.
He led the party away from high IL
cense to local option, and then to an
acceptance of existing prohibition, and
he was the leader in casting off Cleye-
landism and taking up Organism.

After dinner was over the little chaps
decided they would go and have a
swim in the river. Bennie got. into
deep water and was drowned. It was
a pitifnl sight when the body was re-
covered. The father, Bernard Kaiser,
who works for the Farley-Loetscher
company. was there and the little
brother laid down beside the dead boy,
and patting his face, cried, ..Bennie,

all of the anti-Dreyfus party, and the
discovery of their plot will not tend to
put their party in high favor. If 1t
can be proved that they, or their
friends, were in any way connected
with the shooting Of Labori, the Drey-
fus party should be able to make much
capital out of the affair.
Whatever be the outcome of these

for a time at least, France will con-

In the next two weeks the fate of OF

great manufacturing plant will be de-

Driftinr apart.

Burlington Hawkeye: Bryan and
Altgeld are evidently drifting furth-
er and further apart. The former told
a Chicago reporter that he, was going
to Kentucky to speak for William Goe-
bel. but did't care now to talk of his
reasons. About the same time Altgeld
told another Chicago reporter that
William Goebel twill be crushed to at
oms,' and that Bryan cannot afford
to support him. .It is simply out of
the question:" said the real artificer of
the Chicago platform.

Z The Courier publishes in this issue
a synopsis of Hon. Cato Sells speech
before the democratic state convention
in Des Moines today. A glance at it
will convince one that it was hard
speech to write. Ullerly unable to find
anv good in the democratic party or
platform upon which he could dwell in
glowing terms, Mr.. Sells was obliged
to fall back upon bitter denunciations
of the republican party and the presi-
dent of the United States The abso-
lutte absurdity of his statements, which
is apparent at a glance, makes any
refutation of them unnecessary.

The LeMars marshal who thinks he
was discharging his duty when he shot
a dog in the presence of woman who
was in delicate condition, thereby
permanently injuring her mentally

protection of human beings, particu-
larly to women, and more particularly
to the mothers of the community.

WEATHER. AND CROPS.
Corn Crop Advances Rapidly DufinR
';i2 the Past week.

iai4 the Past week.
4 Des Moines, Aug. 15.-The highest
temperature of the season was record,
ed during the past. week, and this,
with excessive humidity, made the
weather conditions oppressive on the
9Th, 10th and nth. The average for
the week was but little above normal.
The rainfall was unequally distribute
ed, the larger amounts being recorded
in the southern and central districts;
but it was generally ample for the
needs of all growing crops.
In considerable portions of the stats
the wet weather was not favorable for
or threshing, and oats in the
shock received additional injury from
continued dampness. In the northern
and portions of the central sections
conditions were more favorable for se-
curing oats, wheat and barley, and fair
progress was made.
The corn crop IS mak1ng rapid adj
vancement toward maturity. It is re-
ported in all stages of growth, ranging
from the first appearance of silk ana
tassels to well filled and hardening
roasting ears. The early planted and
well cultivated fields will be safe from
harm by frost about the 18th Of Sep
TENDER. Probably go per cent of .ths
whole crop in the state will be entirely
safe, with seasonable weather, on or
before Sept. IS. With warm and dry
weather the bulk of late planted corn
may be well matured by Sept. 30. But
it will require unusually favorable
weather conditions to make, sound
merchantable corn of all the late plant-
ed portion of the crop. The rank
growth of stalks will necessitate pro-
tracted period of dry, warm weather,
to bring the grain to full maturity.

Cedar Rapids Republican,, Emily
Crawford. the Partisan correspondent,
says that Dreyfus. is unfortunate in
the use Of his pen. she lacks artistic
sensibilities and can not disassociate
himself from his ego to enter into the
feelings of Others" Mrs. Crawford
says these qualities, this harsh ego
tism," are especially prominent in his
letters to his wife, which have been
published and which thousands OF
people have been reading not because
of any literary merits, but because of
morbid curiosity. 1t strikes one that
this Dreyfus business has been over
done both ways. France ought to be
happy when it is rid of the whole SEN
sation.

IMPROVING Irs SERVICE.
New Dining Cars on the Southern Rail-
ways Washington and South
western Limited.

The Southern Railway, which has become
one OF the most popular tourist and CONNER
cial lines in the country because of its superb
service, splendid equipment and fast time.
has just added two new dining cars to the
equipment of the popular washington and
Southwestern Limited
This Is one OF the most famous trains in this
country, carrying as 1t does through Pullman
drawing-room, sleeping cars and library, OBJ
servation and dining cars between New York,
Philadelphia and Washington and New Or
leans, Mobile, Birmingham, Memphis. Knox
vile, Chattanooga and Nashville, Tenn, Ashe-
vile, N. c. and all the chief cities of the south
These new dining cars are in keeping with the
thoroughly high class equipment OF this and
the other trains OF the Southern Railway,
being quite similar to the beautiful diners
operated on the Congressional Limitedn OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad between New York
and Washington
Their interior is magnificently finished in
hard woods and each table is furnished with
chairs instead OF the old-fashioned tufted
seats. The china. glassware and silverware
are OF the most modern pattern and exceed
ingly attractive, while the cuisine will even
sufpass the high standard previously main
tanned In the cars OF this Company. Both the
Northern and Southern markets are drawn
upon literally for the delicac1es as well as the
substantials OF each section.
The Washington and Southwestern Limit
ed" leaves Philadelphia sdaily at 6.55 P. M and
washington at 10. As P. M, and the dining cars
are operated between Greensboro, N c. and
Montgomery. Ala, furnishing breakfast, din
ner and supper, the train arriving at New Or
leans and other cities in time for early break
fast the next morning.
With the ADDED attraction of these new
diners, this train, which has long been the IA
vorlte OF travellers between the north and
south, will become even more popular as in its
entirety 1t is the most perfectly equipped train
operated between Philadelphia and the south
west. Charles L. Hopkins, District Passen-
ger Agent, S25 Chestnut Street, Phila1elp hia,
will be pleased to furnish any further infor.
