THE GRAND OLD PARTY.

IHE GHAND OLD HAhL I.
Keokuk Gate City: During forty
four years of life, the party has been
in each of these democratic terms
the necessity was made for the re-
publican party to bring the nation
back into repute and good standing.
The first nominees, Fremont and
Dayton, were defeated, and during
the term of Buchanan the slavery
evil grew to the point where the ser
vices of the republican party became
necessary to save the nation from
disintegration. 1t was equal to the
emergency. 1t brought it back whole
and healthy, united people And
during it's term of service following
it brought to the nation prosperity
and growth and power that became
the wonderment of the whole world
In 1884 the people desired a change
and that great statesman, Blaine, was
defeated by Grover Cleveland. The
people were not satisfied with the
change, with evil conditions that
were fast coming upon them and re-
turned, in 1888 to Benz amin Harrison,
a republican. 1t was at the close of
his wise term of office that the people
made misplay that caused this ma
tion to be thrown into the throes of
dependency, that nearly caused the
wreck of all her commercial institu-
tions, and cast discredit upon her f.
nancial standing. They again elected
Grover Cleveland, ,and for four years
havoc ran riot. A tariff was adopted
that nearly sent the nation into
bankruptcy and caused $3.50 900, 900
indebtedness to be contracted. In
dustries died, and everything went
to destruction.
1t was at this critical point that
William Mckinley was placed at the
helm, and as if by magic, four short
years have given us back confidence,
prosperity and hope for greater
future. A wise tariff has been enact
ed, making the nation solvent. A
war has been fought for humanity's
sake and glory added to the name of
America. This has been done by the
administration of William Mckinley,
the people have confidence in him,
because they know his ability and
because they love him. When Will
lam Mckinley has served his country
four years longer, he will go into
history as the greatest statesman
since the time of Lincoln. The three
greatest will be Washington, Lincoln
and Mckinley.

The Colfax Clipper asks: HAS
anyone ever heard an Iowa demo-
crat mourning over the infrac-
tions of the Constitution and the fla
grant disregard of the Declaration
of Independence by the South Caro-
lima democrats?" and then turns in
and answers: "Well, we guess not.
1t is only those black Luzon patriots
who are engaged in waylaying, cap
turing, torturing and butchering
American soldiers, upon whom the
Bryan worshippers pour out their
tears of sympathetic anguish"

Miss Annette Rice, we'll known
lady formerly of this city, died this
morning in the California Hospital
at Los Angeles, California.
Mr.. Emory Rice of this city, a
brother of the deceased, received a
telegram early this morning an
nouncing that the lady was in the
California Hospital and in a very
critical condition and that death
would very likely result in a very
short time. A later telegram an
nounced her death.
The telegram announcing her death
states that she died July II. 1t would
appear that there has been some
confusing of the dates of the dis
patches.
The remains will be cared for and
shipped to this city, where the fu-
neral will be held, announcement of
which will be made later in these.
columns.
Miss Annette Rice was a daughter
of Mrs. s. A. Rice. She was born
and reared in this city and was well
and popularly known here. She
was identified with educational work
and her abilities in this line were
recognized as exceptional. She has
for the past five years taught in the
public schools of Des Moines and
Los Angeles, where her work has
been of the highest and was so rec
ognized.

PREPARING FOR WORK,
On with the dance!

Representative Dick, of Ohio, who
was Secretary of the Republican Nat
ional Committee, gave the following
outline of the campaign before leaving
Washington for his home: Active
work will begin about August l, and
will be more vigorous and aggressive,
if possible, than it was four years
ago. The date for the Cleveland
meeting of the National Committee
has not yet been chosen, but it
will probably be shortly. after
President Mckinley is notified of his
nomination, which will be July II, at
his Canton home, where he now is.
Headquarters will be opened in Chi
Cago, after the meeting of the Nation
al Committee, as the heavy work of
the campaign will be directed from
there, as it was in 1896, although
eastern headquarters will be opened
in New York City, and the Washing
ton branch headquarters from which
preliminary work is now being di-
rected and literature sent, will still be
maintained. Although nothing but
good news of the enthusiasm evoked
by the ticket and platform has been
received, the committee will work
just as hard as though the result
were in doubt.

Says the Ottumwa Courier:
The proceedings of the sixth dis
trict republican convention last We'd
nesday, gave indisputable evidence
of the greatest harmony and good
feeling in the ranks OF the republican
party in this district. This is har-
bingar of sure success at the polls in
November. While it must be recog
nized that the sixth district is always
"fghting ground" nevertheless the
republicans enter the contest this
year i'll the best possible shape to
again inscribe "victory" on their
banner,

LEFT A TRAIL OF BLOOD.
Jester-Witness Saw Body
in the Wagon.

81. Louis, July ia special te1e-
gram to the Post-Dispatch from New
London, Mo-, says testimony in the
Jester trial was continued Monday,
Mrs. Rebecca Steward, wife of Capt.
Hugh Steward, who testified on
Saturday last to seeing pool of blood
and blood spots in the road in Hulen
lane along which Jester was travelling,
fully corroborated her husbands testi-
mony. Mrs. Amanda Clark testified
that she too, accompanied by her sis
ter, rode along Hulen lane on the same
day, and when near the old Presby-
terian church she met Jester with two
teams and wagons. In those days, she
said, strangers spoke to each other on
the highways and she spoke to Jester,
but he did not reply and acted peculiar
ly. In the rear wagon she saw the fig
ure of man lying on the floor under
some covering. AS soon as she passed
the wagons she saw blood spots in the
snow and farther on she saw a pool of
blood in the road. When she returned
from Middle Grove she noticed that the
trail of blood turned south at the
mouth of Hulen lane.

THE MISSIONARIES IN CHM A

THE MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.
Certain newspapers throughout the
country take the strange position
that missionaries should shake the
dust of the Chinese empire from their
feet and return home; that they have
no business where they are not want
ed; and that they should especially
avoid those places where they will be
obliged to live with their lives in
danger from the people they seek to
convert. Nowhere have we seen that
contention so we'll answered as in the
following lines from the Sioux City
Journal:
The difference between these gen.
tie friends, while intended to be ap-
parent is not real. Christian mis-
sionairies regard that they have a
high command in this respect. "Go
ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature" Urder
this injunction, danger to themselves
is not first consideration. They
have before them the example OF
Jesus, who was crucifed. 1t is not
the missionary spirit to deny the
Master to escape war. The trouble
they incite is not by overt acts, but
by the preaching of the gospel of
peace, against which the heather
rage. If they are citizens of the
United States, it is the duty of the
Washington government to protect
them in their lives and property, and
if that means war, an overwhelming
majority of the citizens of this coun'
try will say Amen.

The Savannah, the first steamer
to cross the Atlantic made the trip in
twenty-six days. That was in 1919.
In 1888 the Great Western reduced
the time to ten days, ten hours and
fifteen minutes. In 1877 the Servia
cut down the time to six days, twenty
three hours and fifty minutes. In
1890 the City of New York brought
the record just below six days. Now
the Deutchland has made her initial
trip in five days, fifteen hours and
forty six minutes, and her owners de-
clare she will make the tip in five
days or under.

ton for presidential elector from the
Seventh district. Mr.. Rhynsburger

fifty-five years of age and has been

county has not been recognized by
republican conventions for many
years. Mr.. Rhynsburger is a man of
the highest character entirely wor-

Senator Gear is dead, and Iowa
bows her head in sorrow. Senator
Gear loved Iowa and her people and
Iowa honored Senator Gear. The
senator's relations to the people
were close and he loved to be of SER
vice to them. No man could call so
many citizens of Iowa by name as
the senator and none we're so full of
good fellowship and neighborly kind
ness. 1t reioiced his heart to do a
good deed for a friend. The state
has produced number of rugged
characters but none having more
attractive traits of this kind than the
dead senator.
John H. Gear for more than half a
century has been a prominent and
useful man in business and public af-
fairs of our state.
The history of Iowa has no name
closer to the hearts of the people
than John H. Gear. interviewer
with the warp and woof OF Iowa's
life are his untarnished name and
public services. Few public men
have recognized as did Senator Gear
the real nature of public office, its
relation of service to all the people,
its representatives obligations to the
people who create and maintain pub
lie office.

More Central RumOrs.

Another railroad rumor has been
launched in New York and it is to
the effect that the Illinois Central ia
soon to purchase the M. & st. L. and
the Iowa Central. The Inter-Ocean
of Saturday says:
The rumor of the purchase of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis and Iowa
Central roads by the Illinois Central
was revived yesterday in new York.
1t is stated that large holdings of the
Minneapolis line are changing hands
and it is supposed this means a
change in ownership. The Mime
apolis line recently purchased the
Iowa Central, which makes it rather
strong little system"
The report is given but little cred.
ence here, and there is no one of the
officials of the Iowa Central who Ia
able to say anything on the subject
one way or another. Judging from
what Vice-President Day said on his
last visit to the city, it is very doubt
full if such will prove to be the case.

The GOebel Murder,

Georgetown, KY, July 1.-THE
most sensational testimony of the
doebel trial thus far was that of Fin
ley Anderson, the young son of the
proprietor of the Barbourville hotel,
where Powers and his colleagues met.
Witness stated that Powers said to
him: I'VE will kill enough members
OF the legislature to give us a major
ity. Goebei will never be governor.
II we can't get some one to kill him.
Will kill him myself" The accused
man flushed and smiled ncredulously.

VOTING MACHINES.

Waterloo Reporter: The voting
machine commission created by the
last general assembly will soon begin
its exacting duties, which are con-
fined principally to spending the ap-
preparation which was voted along
with it's creation. This fund, which
is limited to $3.50 and expenses per
member, will enable the gentlemen
to take nice little trip and acquire
some voting machine experience if
any happens to come in collision
with them. Most every manufac-
turer of machinery is proud to ex-
hibit his production where there is a
prospect of sale, but in this case it
must be different, because the com
mission seems to prefer going to the
machine instead of having the ma
chine come to them. The commits
sion is composed entirely of officials,
no privates being allowed to encum-
Der the august body. The members
are: Chairman, s. G. Osborn, Tabor;
sec'y, II. M. Belvel, Des Moines;
treas, WA Blake, Strawberry Point,
The work of the commission will be
watched with some interest, not on
account of itself especially, but more
so because it is handling a subject
that is engaging the attention of all
who are interested in the progressive
affairs of the day. The hope is ex
pressed, without the thought of pat
ronizing, that the commission will
have something to report beyond the
fact that the members have spent all
the appropriation.

Secretary Root has ordered the latter
to discontinue the free issue of ra-

Gen. Weaver should state for the
information of the public now that
he is not so prominent in Bryan's
councils if he still favors the print
ting of great quantities of irredeem-

ton was a platform on which he ran
for president in 1892 and Bryan
voted for him.

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
Des Moines, Iowa. july is.

Des Moines, Iowa. July 16.
The week ending at a. m. of the
10th was generally fair and dry
during the six working days, afford
ing favorable conditions for having
and harvesting operations in all sec
tions, and the time was well inns
proved. In the southern section hay
ing is about completed, and harvest
ing small grain is well advanced.
Returns of early threshing in that
section indicate better yield than
had been expected. In the central
and northern sections harvesting is
well begun and grain is maturing ra-
pidly, promising fair to good yield.
The chief drawback is that grain OF
heavy growth is badly lodged; but
loss from that cause will not be large.
Many of the earlier reports ex-
pressed fears of injury to corn and
other immature crops from effects of
dry weather. But these apprehen-
sions have been happily dispelled by
copious showers that fell in nearly
every county on the 14th and 18th.
The showers generally fell moder
ately, and the moisture was nearly
all absorbed by the soil; but our OBJ
server at Primghar reports total of
1885 inches, and at the station near
Alta the amount is reported to be g.
so inches.
While some local damage may re-
suit from excess, these showers have
been of inestimable value to the state
at large. The condition of the corn
crop is still very promising, more
than sustaining the estimates of July
1st.
