Some time since one of our local re

Some time since one of our local re.
publican papers in speaking of the
county prohibition ticket took occa.
sion to insult the members of that
party and at the same time gave the
free whisky strength to the democrat
ic party. One year ago at public
meeting attended by thousands at Des
Moines, Ex-Governor Larrabee was
one of the speakers and in the course
of his speech said of the republican
party to which he belongs:
~ regret to say it, but each time it
has been my own party that has
wrought the downfall of prohibition.
The democratic party has better
record on the liquor question in Iowa
than we have, although there is
popular impression to the contrary.''
AS governor of the state for SER
les Of years, Governor Larrabee had
ample opportunity for observation
and the result is given in the extract
taken from his Des Moines speech.
which is given above.
In another part of the same speech
he said SIS
"We have voted twice on prohibits
ion in Iowa and each time it was car
rled, only to be followed by defeat at
The hands OF corrupt politicians
And now Teddy and Hanna in con-
sideration of the liberal contributions
of the Milwaukee brewers to the re-
publican campaign fund have
pledged that the tax on beer shall be
removed at the coming session of Con-
gress. The republican party in this,
as in its past history proves that not
one OF Its proposed principles are so
sacred that it will not exchange them
for votes.

Whatever the reason may be BIZ
cycles and their riders are not nearly
so numerous this year as in years
past. This is especially noticeable at
the popular summer resorts. Large
hotel keepers, who last year found it
necessary to provide basement accom-
odation for 100 wheels or more, say
that 20 wheels is a large number this
season in house of 200 OF 300 guests.
The coming of the automobile does
not account for this decline of the
"bike," for the automobile is too ex-
pensive for general use, says wheel
ing authority. Can it be that golf,
which is everywhere in evidence, has
temporarily eclipsed the wheel? Or did
the discarding of the "bike" by the
fashionable set, on the ground that it
had become ''too common" lead to its
disuse by the far greater number who
are the fashion makers?

Marking the Ballot.

Before our article on marking the
ballot as it appeared in the PLAIN
DEALER recently, we asked the opinion
of w. K. Barker in regard to it, and
he either misunderstood our question
or we misunderstood the drift of bis
opinion. At all events our latest and
best advice is that if you wish to vote
for names on more than one ticket,
avoid the circle entirely and place an
X in the square in front of each candi-
date for whom you wish to vote. 1t is
evident the legislature attempted to
amend the ballot law, but it is ques-
tionable whether the purpose was
accomplished. There can be no error
in marking the square to the left OF
the name of each candidate for whom
you wish to vote.

Obituary.

John Frederick William Omacht was
born Feb. 5, 1927, in Krusmanshagen,
Prussia Germany. In 1854 he emigrated
With his parents to America and To-
Gated in Cook county, ILL.,; thence he
came to Iowa. In 1854, he was united
IN marriage with Caroline Asmus, this
union was blessed with three daughters
and one son. On the Sth of October.
1859, he was bereft of his dear wife
through the hand of death. On the
10th of October, 1860, he was married
to his now mourning wife, which the
Lord blessed with five sons and three
daughters, one son of his first wife,
two sons and one daughter of his second
wife preceded the father to the better
world. In 1858, under the labors of
Rev. Lechler, Bro. Omacht was con-
verted to God and joined the Evangeli-
cal Association, in which he endeavor-
ed to be loyal to God and the church
to his blessed end. He suffered at
times very severe during about ten
years, but he bore his suffering with
great patience and resignation to Gods
will. His aim was to be kind hearted
husband to his life companion, true
father to his children, and peaceable
to all his neighbors. On Oct. 8, 1900,
he departed for heaven at 10 years s
months and days. May the Lord
grant them reunion in heaven.

FL Paso, Tex, Oct. e2.-News of the
destruction of the town of Guada-

late Cyrus W. Field. in memory of
Andre, the revolutionary spy, was
sold Friday by Treasurer Randolph,

Friday it passed into the hands of
George Dickey, of Nyack, who says
that he will obliterate the his

the Hero of Manila Bay An

An automobile is no respeoter of per

may be tame experience compared to
sitting on top of cantankerous gaso-

the other afternoon at Bayport, L. T..
About three miles from home the au.
tomobile baked, and the gasoline tank
was found to be empty, whereupon the
admiral went to the nearest house and
asked for some gasoline. The house
wife happened to have some for clean
ing purposes, and she gave it cheerful
ly. The tank was partially filled and
Dewey, without delay, made straight
for oakdale farm, near sayville, where

of half dozen locomotive whistles
greeted the arrival of the train Es-
corted by brass band and passing be-
tween two lines of young girls all
dressed in the national colors Senator
Hanna was driven to the speaking
stand, where he talked for about is
minutes. The audience included a
great number of laboring men and en-
Ployes OF the railroad shops and Sen
ator hanna repeated his previous asser-
lions regarding his associations with
his employees and his recognition of or
ganized labor.
