nad some experience with a genuine
fakir last week The gentleman (?)
gave his name as Gowdy, and pre-
scented a great scheme to Mr.. Boydston,
which was accepted. Mr. Gowdy was
to solicit advertising for the Democrat,
get our business men to sign contracts
for certain first page space for one
year. collect the first quarter for his
commission, the balance to be paid
quarterly to Mr. Boydston. Contracts
We're printed and Mr. Gowdy went to
work. So far as we can learn each con-
tract that he got was rebuilt to suit the
customer and read for three months in
stead OF a year, the pay for which Mr..
sGowdy sailed down. then erased the
change in the contracts, turned them
over to Mr.. Boydston and moved on to
igreener fields before his fine work was
discovered. However, Mr. Boydston
followed him to What Cheer, where he
found him working the same graft
for one Of their papers. When threat
ened with arrest Mr.. Gowdy compro-
missed the matter with Mr.. Boydston,
then the What Cheer publisher per-
suaded him to refund the money he
had collected there and he moved on
again.

The Ohio State Joarndt of the 18th,
gives the proceedings of the eighteenth
annual session of Physic-M Medical Ply
sicians and Surgeons of America, at
their meeting in Columbus. Itsays:
"Thc evening session was devoted to
the consideration Of sTumors and
Cancers, nearly all of the physicians
present taking part in the general
discussion. The common theory that
tumors arc growthS or produced by
the presence OF germ was disputed
by DR.. Melville G. Keith, OF Bellyille,
o., who gave a demonstration of the
effects of premature legation of the
funis, illustrated by drawings. He
declared that all tumorS were excess
i've accommodations of unclean and
etfete material arising from improper
food. such us baking powder, soda and
deposits from hard lime or alkaline
water. He further declared that all
cases Of cancer were tEmors in the
putretied state, and that many forms
of paralysis were brought about by
the same causes. Following the dis
cussion Il vote of thanks was rendered
DR.. Keith for his demonstration.

Dcs MoineS, May q, 1900.
The past week was cooler than usual
with a great excess of cloudiness in all
parts of the state. There was a preya-
lence of cool northeast wind. The
amount of rainfall was light in the
northwest district and in the western
counties of the west central district.
The balance of the state was copiously
watered.
In the larger part of the state field
work has been much retarded or en-
tircly suspended during the week; and
in nearly al districts there is Il por-
tion of the cora acreage yet to be
planted. Early planted corn has ger
minated fairly WE'LL masking about an
average stand. About the usual am
cunt of replanting will be done. as the
result of damage by cut worms, de-
fectiive seed, and excessive moisture
in undrained fields.

There is more solid, substantial i'm
provement being made in Cresco this
year, than in any year since its organi-
zation. New residences, good and
substantial ones, are springing up as
If by magic in all parts of the city.
The sound of the sawand the hammer
are heard from early morn till the
shades of evening come on. In nearly
all, the modern styles of architecture
predominant, and the fixtures for
heating are also the approved and
modern methods, while most of the
new and many of the others are having
electric lighting put in, and nearly all
have a place where you can "hello" to
the head of the family, and perhaps
to the hired girl.
The German Catholic congregation
are preparing for some very important
improvements on their property east
of the Court House. They have bought
the g. Meyre residence just south of
their property which will be used
temporarily for the priests residence.
They will move the present church
building to the west end of their lots,
place it upon high foundation, and
remodel it into a boarding school to
be conducted by the Sisters of Charity.
The contract for moving and building
the new foundation has been let to
Seth Pearson, who will begin work at
once. Their most important project,
however, is the erection of new
church, fronting north, on the site of
the present one, to which $4,000 has
already been pledged and for which
plans will be made Immediately. At
present the only thing definite in re-
gard to its construction is its size,
which will be be 40x70 feet. The
church has some fine lots and the con-
templated improvements will be a
fine addition to the the city's church
buildings.
AT s:l5 yesterday morning, the
much-looked for special train Of
threshing machinery, manufactured
by the j. I. Case Threshing Machine
company, Racine, Wis, steamed into
the station. AS the large consignment
of freight, extensively decorated with
American flags, bunting and with
"Old Abe, the company S trade mark,
occupying conspicuous place upon
the head of the engine, the sight was
picturesque and one that will long be
remembered. The train is enroute to
Fargo, N. D., where they will arrive
at their destination Saturday, at 4:40
p. m. The Serpentine monster OF
trolling stock was accompanied by the
Case band of sixteen pieces and a
better lot of musicians were never
banded together. Music was discoursed
here and along the line. To some
train load of machinery to one place
may seem wonderful, and tits re-
markable occurrence, but every day at
the factory, during the busy season,
and six days in the week from fifteen
to twenty cars are loaded and shipped
daily. The train consisted of twenty
six cars of threshers and engines,
something like forty engines and
thirty threshers being comprised in
the shipment. This is the fifth special
train sent out by the company this
season, and several Others are in con-
temptation, among them one to the
Pacific coast.

The Luther College students are
better at their books than at ball
game. The Minnesota University beat
them, the game standing s to 3, and
now Waukon has beaten them the
game standing s to 4. The Luther

books. To win in the game of letters
is more meritoriouS than in game of

The Decorah Journal says: A two
weeks old baby was suffocated last
week at Mason City, while the parents
were driving home from a visit in the
country. How often this sad accident
occurs, through the though htlessness
of parents in. too snugly wrapping up
babies. They must have air to breath
as well as grown people, strange as it
may appear.
G. ID. Nichols don't want anything
said about it, but he contemplates
building model clothing store build
ing this summer, locating on his lots
south of the Racket store and adioin-
ing the alley. He has long needed
more room and a better place for the
display and proper handling of his
goods, and we are glad that he has
concluded to have such store as will
be credit to our growing young city.

it was done accordingly. Secundem

We are told of an irresponsible and
constituencies individual who is pur.
chasing for one OF our butcher shops,
animals for slaughter for our people
to eat, which are unclean, among
them being lumpy jawed cattle and
swine which were still more unfit for
food. 1t is not probable, if this report
is true, that any of our butchers are
aware of it, but is well enough for
them to investigate and see that its
practice is discontinued.

The passage Of the Grout anti OleO-
margarine bill by the house of repre-
sentatives is an endorsement of the
public service of an eminent Yer
monter that may we'll crown his
closing labors in congress. All
through the re-canvass for the Office
of United States senator the oppo-
nents of Gen. William W. Grout lost
no opportunity to belittle his motives
and his efforts in connection with the
widely discussed measure that bears
his name. But it is a singular com
mentary, either upon the short sight
edness of political rivalry or the
intensity of unreasoning political
animus, that the good work that GER
tain Vermonters viewed with scorn a
few months ago has been stamped
with the approval of the popular
house OF the greatest law making
body of the western world, and that
too, by vote of more than two to
one. And this triumph comes to GEN
eral Grout at day in his public
career when it's significance is truly
gratifying. 1t comes to him as
welcome assurance that the law
makers at the national capital repose
confidence in his judgment, and it
comes as a reminder to his old con-
stituency that, with the expiration of
his term Of office, Vermont will lose
the service in congress of one of the
ablest, most faithful, and most devot-
ed of her sons.-St. AIbans Messenger.

Sheriff Mullen of Rouse's Point was
notified, and Immediately went to

him to Rouse's Point and putting him
in jail. When the investigation was
begun it was found that two men.
John Julien and Frank Coolridge, had
stayed over night at Hotel Montgom
cry in Rouse's Point. Papers on the
dead mans body sent him from Mont
real showed that he was Julien and
the supposed murderer is Coolridge'
They went to the hardware store Of
Thomas Hoag in Rouse's Point and
bought a revolver and five cartridges
Julian apparently had money, as he
offered a $50 bill in payment for the
revolver, but as Mr.. Hoag could not
make the change, Julien paid him 81
in small bills. The revolver was
found in the possession of Coolridge
with but one empty chamber. Only
few cents was found on the body of
Julien, SO it is supposed robbery was
the motive Of the crime.
