It is true that the country is
really distressed with labor union
strikes at present, but, since this
is presidential year, the cause for
it is very apparent. The laboring
men are getting more work and
better pay at this time than ever
before in the history of the country,
but they do not appear to have
sense enough to let well enough
alone.

Sorrows of the Millionaire.

Look at the ways Of the millionaire.
Given his million, he gives up his house
and builds himself a small, first class
hotel In some big city. which for the
greater part Of the year is occupied by
servants. He next erects a country
palace ut Lenox or at Newport. This
he calls a cottage, though 1t usually
looks more like a public library or a
hospital or clubhouse.
Then he builds himself camp, with
stained glass windows, In the Adiron-
dacks and has to float small railroad
in order to get himself and his wife's
trunks into camp. Shortly after these
follows a bungalow modelled after a
French chateau, somewhere In the
south, and then a yacht warranted to
cross the ocean In ten days and to pro-
duce seasickness IL hours sooner than
the regular ocean steamer becomes one
Of the necessities of life.
Result, he never lives anywhere. To
occupy all his residences, camps and
bungalows he has to keep eternally on
the move, and when he thinks he needs
trip to Europe he has his yacht got
ready and sends 1t over, going himself
on fast steamer. oh, it's terrible
thing to be q millionaire and have no.
where to lay ones head, with every
poorer man envying him, many hating
him and hands raised against him ev-
erywhere!-Wo man's Home Compan-

Sun Scald of Trees.
From Iowa State Register

From Iowa State Register.
Sunscald Of Trees Mr.. John Love-
lace, of Ross, Iowa, writes:
AS we are bothered great deal with
what we call sunscald on our young ap-
pie trees, would like to inquire through
this department OF your paper at what
season OF the year this is caused, and
whether it is caused by thawing and
freezing in winter or the hot sun in
summer? III it is caused by the hot
summer sun, think that | have the
remedy to protect the body Of the tree.
Last spring planted large hill OF corn
on the south side of each apple tree and
so far the trees seem to be doing better
than ever before. or course the ground
must have sufficient FERTILIZER to supply
both trees and corn. l would like to
hear from some OF the professors OF hor-
ticulture on this matter OF sunscald on
young apple trees.
Our observation for many years has
been that apple trees headed low and
leaned to the o'clock sun when set in
orchard, are not likely to sunscald, even
in the Dorth part Of the state. As to the
time when the injury is done. it may be
in summer or winter. With newly
transplanted trees with feeble circula-
ton, the scalding Is often done in sum
mer, even with hardy shade trees with
high stems. But when the trees are
well established and the circulation ia
active in summer, the scalding comes
from the alternate freezing and thawing
of the exposed stem in winter, always on
the south side. II people will persist in
planting high stemmed trees, the safest
protection is surrounding the stems
with lath woven together with wire, as
practiced extensively in Wisconsin.
This admits AR 10 the stems, yet pre-
serves more even temperature Of the
inner bark and is a good protection from
rabbits. Wrapping the stems with WOW
Ell wire mosquito netting has been prac.
ticed. This admits air and is in all ways
satisfactory, but the short life Of the
wire with such exposure makes it expen-

DEMOCRATS RAISING FUNDS,
Chairman Hoffman Working n New
Scheme to Fill the Committee Treasury.

Chairman Hoffman work'~y q New
Scheme to Fill the Committee Treasury.
The Democratic state central COM
mittee is preparing to make the COM
ing campaign in this state one Of the
most active that they have conducted
in years. To this end Chairman Hoff-
man has devised a scheme for the col
lection Of funds that promises to give
Their committee plethoric treasury
to draw upon for campaign ex-
penses. For several months past
Chairman Hoffman has had canvass
ers out In different parts of the state
soliciting funds for the committee. The
plan they have followed was to ask
every Democratic voter as far as they
were able to meet them to make con-
tributions, no matter how small, to the
work of the campaign. Contributions
of % cents were not despised and in
formation comes that in some in
cepted. In some parts of the state
clubs We're formed, the members of
which pledged themselves to give a
certain sum each month towards the
campaign fund. These clubs were
called Democratic social clubs and q
part of the duties of the members was
to assist In the local work and aid in
getting the Democratic vote to the
polls when election comes. The OBJ
ject of organizing the clubs thus early
was that the funds might begin COM
ing in. 1t is stated by a member of
one of these clubs that contributions
have been going to Des Moines for at
least three months and by this time
the committee must have a pretty
comfortable nest egg, to which will be
added the contributions of the silver
barons little later on and the funds
to be given by the anti-imperialists,
who especially desire to defeat the
Republican congressional candidates
In the First, Second and Sixth dis
tricts. The Republicans are to be met
in Iowa this year not only by a very
complete organization of the opposi-
ton, but also by an organization that
will be well equipped with the sinews
of war.

Fiddled Into once.

If history be true, Governor Taylor
of Tennessee is not the only man who
fiddled himself into office. LOSING re-
lates that In 1S4S he met at Oswego,
n. Y, Major Cochran, then nearly 80
years old, son-in-law of General Phil
lip Schuyler, who told the story Of his
election to congress during the admin
istration of the elder Adams. A vessel
was to be launched on one Of the lakes
in interior New York, and people came
from afar to see It. The young folks
gathered there, determined to have a
dance at night. There was fiddle.
but no fiddler. Young Cochran was
an amateur performer, and his services
were demanded. He gratified the JOY
GUS company, and at the supper table
one Of the gentlemen remarked, in
commentator of his talents, that he
was "fit for congress-" The matter
was talked up, and he was nominated
and elected a representative In con-
gress for the district then comprising
the whole of New York west Of
Schenectady. He always claimed to
have "fiddled himself into congress"

Hon. Mayor-ln iuctice to the men,
bers Of the Volunteer Firemen OF your
city, it gives me great pleasure to say
that more gentlemanly set Of fellows
never visited our city upon similar &C.
casion. The boys, eighteen Of them,
were at my house five nights last week,
during the entire Firemen's Tourna-
ment and they acquit themselves like
men. Your people ought to be, and no
doubt are, proud OF such lot of nice
clean fellows. They took good care of
themselves at oil times and we're always
ready to respond when called to the
scratch. Your team, under the able
management of S. Q. Curtis did excel
lent work, and but for unavoidable acct.
dents, would have won more races. BY
their clean work and manliness they
made host Of friends in Cedar Rapids
and we would welcome them again, each
and every one, upon any and all occas-
ions. Give them individually my best
regards and oblige.
Yours truly, j. W. Roe.

State Central Committee Anxious to
Perfect the Organization Soon
} as Possible.
Literature to Be Distributed From
Headquarters When the Poll
Books Are Received.
Pertinent Figures From the "American
Agriculturist" Show That Prosperity
Has Come to the Farmers.

Des Moines, Aug. 13.-Chairman
Weaver desires again to call the at
tention of county and township chair
men to the Importance of the early re-
turn of the poll books that have been
sent to the various counties to be
filed out. These poll books, when
filed out In accordance with instruc-
tons, will be of great assistance to the
central committee. Those who have
received these books will notice that
under appropriate headings, it is de-
signed that information be given con-
corning each precinct in the county,
showing not only the political affilia-
ton of each voter, but also their ma
tionality and other matters that would
indicate the sort of literature to be
sent to different sections. The COM
mittee has just received large
amount of literature from the ma
tional committee and the distribution
of it will depend upon the informa-
ton derived from the poll books. For
this reason it will be imperatively
necessary that this matter be at
tended to by the county and township
chairmen as soon as possible that each
county may get the benefit Of the as
sistance of the state central commit
tee. Every Republican realizes the
Importance of the campaign this fall
and the necessity of complete organi-
cation that the majority given to Nc
Kinley four years ago by the voters
of Iowa may be increased and that the
Iowa delegation in congress shall
still continue to be solidly Republican.
The central committee is using every
effort to perfect the organization in
the state and they ask that the work
of the county and township chairmen
be done carefully and at once. In this
way only may such measure of sue
cess as will be creditable to the state
be attained. Again, remember that the
poll books should be filled out and re-
turned at once.

III you see man win an unngnreu
cigar between his lips, it is not be-
cause he is looking for q light, but be-
cause he is indulging in the pleasure of
"dry smoke" How there can be any
enjoyment in this to a smoker is not
readily apparent, but the fact remains
that there is much satisfaction in the
habit, and, besides, there are no bane-
full effects.
For inveterate smokers the dry smoke
is a good habit to cultivate. 1t enables
many slaves of the weed to decrease
the number Of cigars actually smoked
In a day without causing much incon-
venience. OF course an inveterate
smoker would find no pleasure in the
habit at the start, but perseverance is
necessary, and after awhile he will en-
Joy his dry smoke almost as much as
the real one. 1t Is good way to be-
gin If you desire to stop smoking. Try
1t and see.-New York Herald.

Caught by Game Warden.

Mallard Correspondence to Daily NOnparcil.
The state game warden and one OF his
deputies arrived here last Friday and
caught one of Mallard's business men
hunting for prairie chickens. When
caught, he was in field with a dog
hunting in good shape with eighteen
dead chickens in his kit. He was fined
s25 for hunting and s. for each chicken.
making his fine Sll5.
While in this vicinity the game war
den caught two young farmer boys, out
in their own field, each with a gun and
dog, but they had not yet killed any
game. They we're fined S25 each, which
they paid. 1t looks as though the game
warden intended to enforce the law.
