Preparations for the annual picnic
of the Modern Woodmen of America

ten thousand people here from other

coaches continues. There will be
special excursion run on all roads
coming into Oskaloosa and very low
special rates have been made for the
occasion. Woodmen will pour into
the city from Mason City and Algona
and all intervening points on the
Iowa Central. The train from the
south will be from Centerville.
There will be an excursion run from
as far east as Monmouth and there
will be delegations from Burlington,
Ottumwa, Des Moines and Wash
ington.
One of the features of the day will
be the great parade at II o'clock. 1t
will be the greatest parade of the
kind ever seen anywhere in the
state. ..-..., .... .. ..-

On last Saturday many of the far.

the rush for coal for threshing pur-
poses.
All the farmers would like to thresh
at the same time on account of the
necessity of saving their grain from
any more wet weather, and as con-
sequence all threshers have contracts
for two weeks yet.
Grain, although good crop, can
hardly 90 on the market as first class,
being somewhat damaged by the late
rains. But what may be lost in this
way may be fully made up In the corn
crop, pasture and young meadows.

The ranks of the Democratic party Of

intact the broken, and dissatisfied column

names Of three thoroughbred Democrats,

the Democratic ticket. They are Joseph
f. Brennan, John ]. Fallen, and w. O..
Ferguson. The reasons assigned for
his conversion by Mr.. Brennan, in a
letter over his signature, are identical
with those in the two other letters, ex

wonderful impetus. Prices didn't rise

gold standard we would all get rich, for
we were given distinctly to understand
that nothing else was in the way of sue

when Cleveland was elected in 1892 and
prepared for grand rush of business.
Somehow it failed to come, and instead,
