SAVE TROUBLE.
Examine and Repair ChImneys Before
Building Winter Fires.

Every owner of property and every
person who has a home should make
a careful examination of all chimneys
about the property before building
the winter fires. 1t will require but
a short space of time to determine
the condition of the chimneys and
the expenditure of a small amount of
time and energy at this time may
save a great loss later on. The CHM
neys should be thoroughly examined
and especially in the attics where the
FIRE can originate most easily. If
there are cracks and places where
the fire can get to the woodwork of
the house, now is the time to have
them attended to.
Saturdays fires are said to have
started from defective hues. Both
were old Aues and there r others
in the city.

The Cedar Rapids Republican says,
t'that Major Ira J Alder, OF Iowa
City, an old Soldier was introduced
to the Rough Rider Gov. Theodore
Roosevelt by Gov. Shaw, on the
speakers stand, at Cedar Rapids at
the great Republican rally there on
the 9th, and that Major Alder pinned
the Mckinley and Roosevelt, Iowa
City Republican Club Badge on the
lapel of the coat of the Hero Of San
Guam" for which the next vice-presi-
dent shook his hand and thanked him
very kindly"
Major Alder is from "Proud Ma
haska,o formerly, but this act at the
right time shows how Mahaska coun-
ty boys get to the front at the proper
time. The Major has a brother In

McGlasson VS. John T. Scott, Judge.
Appeal from Mahaska county district
court. Reversed; opinion by Judge
Sherwin.
The action was a certiorari proceed
ing to test the validity of an order
imposing fines and imprisonment for
contempt for violation of an in
junction restraining a liquor nuisance.
The case is reversed on errors,
This is the case that was brought
against the McGlassons about a year
ago. Judge Scott brought the de-
PENDANTS before him charged with
contempt or the violating of an in
junction that had been secured
against them on account of alleged
liquor selling contrary to law. The
defendants were fined one thousand
dollars and six months in jail. The
defendants appealed to the supreme
court and the above reversal of
Judge Scott is the result.

into town and hiring all the vacant
men he could find proceeded to his
fathers residence in the south part
of town, and, without ceremony pro-
ceeded to demolish the home that
had sheltered him from childhood.

act but there is another side to it; on
the site of the demolished building,
will be erected a handsome modern
eight room residence as a present to
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Cowley from Mr.

New Time Card,

The Times Republican SAYS
"There is nothing definite as yet re-
garding the change of time on the
Chicago & Northwestern and Iowa
Central, although the matter as sug-
gested by the Northwestern to the
Central, of bringing its morning pas
senger trains into the city in time to
connect with the fast mail at 9 O'Clock
instead of 9:32, has been referred
from the general passenger depart
ment to the superintendent, with the
memorandum that the change would
be perfectly agreeable to that depart
ment. 1t is therefore altogether like
ly that the change will 60 into affect
very soon, probably a week from
Sunday, the goth inst. 1t will result
in a little inconvenience at first, no
doubt, and for few weeks there will
be several people missing their trains
for the time of the morning connect
ions at this point have varied but
little for several years."

stanley House Blaze.

There was a small blaze at the old
Stanley House on South Third street
Saturday afternoon. The flames orig
mated near the roof and probably
came from the fue. The. flames were
seen breaking out in the vicinity of
the chimney, and in answer to the
alarm the force of employees of the A.
j. st. Clair cigar factory on Rock
Island avenue and Jim DeBoard flew
to the assistance of the people. They
procured a ladder and had the flames
pretty well subdued when the fire
company arrived. The part of the
building where the fire originated was
occupied by the family of e. s. Me-
CLAIM. There; was slight damage and
no insurance on household goods.
The building was insured. This is
about the twentieth fire for this build.

A LOYAL DEMOCRAT
Refuses. the Contribution and
Explains His Position.


The following letter from an old
time Democrat to Chairman Hoff-
man, Of the State Democratic COM
mittee exposes the renters league"
scheme, and portrays the position
taken by many loyal Democrats this
year:
"Grundy Center, Aug. %, 1900.
G.. A. Huffman.-Deur Sir.-Your
favor with circular, etc. enclosed re-
ceived in which you ask for a remit
lance TO So for 1900, etc. My reply is
that l cannot willingly longer contri-
butte to a cause that / can no longer
support by my ballot. The sixteen
to one theory 1 can no longer sup
port-neither can / c~ountenance
Bryan's opposition to the govern
ment in its movements in the Phil
ippines and in China. 1 did think
that Mckinley made a mistake in not
promising, at the outset, independ-
ence to the Philippine people, yet
subsequent events in China have
shown the wisdom of his course. Nc
Kinley is not to blame for the Chinese
muddle. 1t has been coming to the
front for years, and those in power
have known and foreseen it, and
have been making calculations for it.
1 thought it hard that congress did
not repeal the stamp act at its last
session, but / now see why it was not
done. The storm of war in the
Orient was looming up and those in
power could see it. We are in the
Philippines and in China and we are
there to stay SO far as my vote goes,
for the a that l believe God has
given to this nation, in connection
with other Christian nations,a world
wide commission which you will find
recorded in the ninety-sixth psalm.
The sixteen to one issue vas settled
by the people in 1896, not perhaps as
1 would have decided it, for my vote
was the other way. AS a loyal, law
abiding American I am duty bound
to abide by the peoples decision and
any other course smacks of a revol-
utionary spirit. The anchors of our
republic are first to abide by the de-
cision of the people as manifested
through the ballot box; second, to
abide by the decisions of courts
third, to support the military power
of u government in its efforts to
right the wrongs of our people and
to carry the blessings of liberty to
the down-trodden of other lands. II
an issue is settled it ought to be laid
aside and new ones brought forward
You would call a farmer idiotic who
would continue to thresh over his
straw that had been thoroughly
threshed, and say the same of
lawyer who would insist upon a re-
trial of the same case before the same
court upon the same pleadings and
the same evidence. What new evi
dence has democracy to advance in
support of sixteen to one? You ask
in your circular"how many American
or foreign born voters are there ir
your county who voted for Mckinley
in 1896, who will vote for Bryan thit
year," Answer: Not one so far as
am informed. The people will stanG
by their government and put at it'
head a military man in the present
crisis, and not a mar like Bryan, who
went into the army and remained
long enough to be called colonel anG
took a sneak home to make speeches
at so much per night. 1 am sorry
that we must part, but duty demands
it, Yours truly,

Bradstrsat's says: "A the jobbing dis

manifest. Eastern wholesale trade is quiet
but steady. Gross railway returns con-
ttnue excellent, considering the reports OF
quiet in all other lines, and net returns

trade is in a fiattering condition, Septem-
Der exports being the largest eve reported
for that month, and, swelled by high-priced
cotton shipments, the nine months re-
turns are far In advance of all previous

balance for the calendar year far in ad-
vance Of all other years."
