HERRlOTT PROTEST MARCHING
ON.
[Grinnell Herald.l
It is very manifest that John Herri-
otis protest goes marching on. The
editor OF the State Register, who has
been selected by the railroad regency to
lampoon Mr.. Herrlott, is getting hard
pushed for material. Ror instance, in
Sundays Register. that paper prints a
short paragraph twice, and credits 1t to
three different persons. On page three
said paragraph is alleged to have been
copied from the Abel Republican. On
page ten the same paragraph appears,
and here II is alleged to be copied from
the Abel News. Again, said paragraph
iss claimed to be the expression of Sena-
tor Hopkins Views. The latter claim by
the Register is absolutely false, az Sem,
ator Hopkins Endorses John Herriott
and his views on railroad taxation.
Again. 1t Is altogether improbable that
the same article is original the same
week In rival papers in the same town.
But then the Register must meet the
wishes of the regency, even@if it is neces.
sary to resort to falsehood and misre-
presentation. Mr.. Herriott is peculiarly
fortunate in some Of the enemies he has
made.
CHERRY GROWING IN IOWA.
LDes Moines Register.l
In the month of June, 1860, Hon.
Isaac Brandt brought a few specimen
Early Richmond Cherries, grown on
Cherry Place." to the Citizen office
now the Iowa State Register. From
that year to this he has always remem-
bered The Register office in the month
of June each year with a basket Of rare
ripe Early Richmond cherries. Mr..
Brandt's first cherry orchard was
planted in 1859 and 1860. The average
age Of his trees has been Twenty-Five
years. One grand old tree that grew
larger than any Of the others bore fruit
for twenty eight years. His second or
chard only numbers twenty-five trees,
but they are fine fruiters, yielding fruit
every year. He has one tree that was
1 transplanted in 1889 which he named
Daisy" because OF its symmetrical
form and nicely shaped top. 1t bore a
4 few cherries the year it was trans
4 planted and has borne every year since.
1 Tuesday he picked from his eleven
1 year-old tree sixty-six quarts of fine,
rare ripe cherries. There were several
double cherries on it. but near the top
a perfect triplet was found-three per-
\ feet cherries on one stem. They are in
! 1.-The form Of a three-leafed clover, but
4 perfect in shape. 1t was shown to
WESLEY Greene. the secretary Of the
State horticultural Society. and he re-
marked that he had frequently seen
double cherries, but had no recollec-
ton OF ever seeing a triplet cherry be-

/ CHANCE FOR THE FOOL KILLER.
/ Waterloo Reporter]
The amount OF so-called fun thai
borders on the line of disgraceful AM
disgusting rowdysm is surprising. The
4 fact that this propensity runs riot and
i is INDUCED in by many people who have
ordinary sense and Judgment and regard
4 for the feelings of others in most case:
makes 1t altogether beyond explanation
or extenuation. Hardly an announce,
ment of wedding occurs that is no
accompanied by the details of tn,
alleged funny joke which the friends o.
the couple have perpetrated at their ex
4 pense. No trick is too contemplate Il
be INDUCED upon such occasions, ant
the larger the annoyance the more hu
NOR the ainstigators appear to derive
from the proceeding. There is little t.
be commended in the practice that ha,
Il gone to such extreme lengths. 1t Is bet
4 ter for a person to so thru the world
without experiencing the Joys and esn
sations of q good laugh than to have t
secure the pleasure at the expense o
4 decency, good manners and at least
i faint conception OF the dignity ant
4 sacredness OF the relation which Il
made the occasion for proceedings tina
ought to bring the blush Of shame In
stead Of ribald hilarity The harrasstnt
4 band OF bridal party chasers has becom,
4 almost as much of nuisance as the i'm
beetle who didn't know, 1t was loaded
Here Is an elegant chance for the fool
killer to enlarge his field of operations
and assist In clvilizing by heroic means
a civilization that Is badly in need Of al
influence that can punish enough to b
respected.
