Meriden, Aug. 13-It begins to look as
though the residents of Meriden will
have to fall back upon condensed or
canned milk, if this dry weather con-
tinues. The pastures are now so dry
that there is no feed for the stock there,
and the hay crop this year was SO small
that the price is away up. Still, the
COWS must be fed hay and grain, and
even then the supply Of milk is very
short.

viii Leave Manning.

That Attorney T. H. Boylan is soon to
leave Manning, is not in keeping with
the wishes Of his many friends here. A
few days ago Mr.. Boylan made part.
nership with Attorney John II. Mosier
of Audubon. which will be in vogue on
and after April l, 1900. At this period
Mr.. Boylan will close his office here and
go to Audubon. Mr. Mosier, as is we'll
known, Is one OF the leading attorneys
Of Western Iowa, having interstate
clientsge. Few men are better read il,
law than is Mr.. Boylan, and the ne,
partnership cannot help but prove !,
strong one. Thos. Boylan came to Man.
ming in 1893, when he entered the office
Of the supreme court reporter, Hon. b
1. Sallinger. In 1897 Mr. Sallinger
moved to Carroll and Mr.. Boylan sue.
ceeded him here in the law business. A
no more coEgenial, well met fellow ever
lived in Manning than Mr.. Boylan, and
his departure will not meet the approval
OF his old friends ere-Manning Moni,
tor.
Mr.. Boylan is quite well known here
and his coming will be welcomed. He
and Mr.. Mosier will make a strong law
firm. Mr.. Mosier has been working very
hard Of late to keepup with his business,
and his partn or will be Of much help to
him.

Town Caucus.

The following ticket was nominated by
the citizens caucus last night: For
mayor, Fl. w. Hanna; trustees, Eugene
johnson, w. H. O'Connell; clerk, d. l..
Freeman; treasurer, Fred Vermilya,
assessor, Geo. Ellis.
Mayor Hanna called the caucus to
order and E. B. Cousins was called to
the chair and ID. L. Freeman made
secretary. A motion passed that the
nomination be by ballot and the first
ballot for mayor formal. This was re-
considered and made to be informal.
Tellers appointed were A. F. Drake,
W. G. Elliott, Pat Carolan and John
Ward. The informal ballot for mayor
gave H. W. Hanna 10. Fred Blume IL,
Z. b. Cousins 8, S. A. Graham z, and a
number scattering. Mr.. Hanna was
then made the nominee by motion.
For trustees an informal ballot gave
the following result: Eugene Johnson
50, W. II. O'Connell 40, Chas. Tramp IA,
Chas. Van Gorder 10, Mat johnson 10,
and number scattering. BY motion
Messrs johnson aud O'Connell were
made the nominees.
ID. L. Freeman, Fred Vermilya and
George Ellis were nominated for clerk
treasurer and assessor respectively, by
reclamation.
The ticket is good one and will
doubtless be elected. The administers
ton of town affairs is difficult thing
and the remuneration is light. Those
who give good service deserve the sup.
port of the community. Mr.. Hanna has
been mayor long time and although he
has been considerably criticised at times
yet altogether it must be admitted he
has rendered good service.
w. H. Kelley and H. A. Arnold whose
terms as trustees have expired, declined
to be candidates again.
Considerable humor was INDUCED in
in the convention by complimenting
many by giving them scattering votes
Nearly all sections Of town thus developed
statesmen from Bradleyville to up on
the hill and over the river. Charles
Van Gorder's speech Withdrawing from
the contest for mayor in the interests Of
harmony when the result OF the ballot
gave him one vote, was quite an example
OF caucus oratory.

1t is said Mr..Sheldon has rejected all
adver tising from Kansas City merch-
ants offered him for the Topeka Capital
this week on the grounds that he ad-
vises his people to trade at home. This
is good sense. There are some local
papers that accept advertisement from
every where and thereby advise their
readers to trade everywhere. The ef-
feet of advertising in such papers is
neutralized by its contradictory con-
duct. This paper is for it's home town.
