The Presidents Message.

The President under the constitu-
tlon Is required from time to time. to
deliver to Congress his recommends
tions as to the needs and condition of
the country. His message sent down
to Congress on the 3rd IS very full, en-
couraglng in some respects. doleful and
grnesCme in others. He congrstulatps
the country upon it's mighty expansion
n prosperity, and then plunges into
a history OF he Chinese troubles. The
story re.ds like :. novel and 1t ia only
the fist chapter, as the problem Is
still unsolved. He wants an army of
from 6 600 to 100, 0CO to keep the peace
In the PHILIPPINES and for contin-
gences. The credit Of the country Is
mighty, tie treasury growing, and he
recommends a fractional reduction in
taxes. he gestures at trus's, but does
not expect Hanna to take the hint. As
a republican, speaking from O repub-
ilcan standpoint the President is in
nigh good humOr and vaults into the
new century upon a high horse. The
paper Is very business like and per-
functory-no fine writing, with strong
ear marks of "innocuous desuetude."

A VOTERS LETTER.

OTTER CREEK, la, Oct. 20. 1900.
Editors Review
If space is allowed, a voter would
like to say few words. The republi-
can candidates this fall are all good,
competent men, and if elected will
attend to the duties of the Offices
especially the candidate for auditor,
Mr.. n. L. Hunt. Mr.. Hunts record as
a county officer in past years stands
without blot and cannot be excelled,
and we harbor the same opinion on it's
repetition should the voters place him
there. We doubt if better gentleman
in the county could be found than Mr..
Hunt, and just as much deserving.
His republican as we'll as democratic
friends in this township will support
him royalty at the polls on election
day, and they together with his many
supporters will, we hope, place him in
the auditors Office for the coming
term. Respectfully,
A VOTER.

WARNING TO SHOOTERS.

On Sunday or Monday OF this week
some hunters who we're shooting in
Fred Marshall's pasture. shot a valu-
able horse belonging to Henry Eggers,
killing the animal. Mr.. Eggers had
only recently refused S75 for the horse
and the loss is severe one. Only a
year ago Mr.. Marshall lost a valuable
COW in the same manner, and he says
this wholesale killing must stop. There
is law and heavy penalty attached
against shooting on property other
than your own, and Mr.. Marshall says
the next hunter caught upon his prem
ises will be prosecutea.to the full ex-
tent of the law.
