EEN OLD MISSOURI.

Governor Shaw was in Des Moines
Monday after his trip through Mis-
souri, and Illinois. He said that while
the people were not doing much po-
litical talking, and street corner dis
cussions are not much heard of, yet
he was satisfied that the people were
doing a great deal OF thinking and he
believed that the result would be
eminently satisfactory to the repub-
licans.
The governor spoke very earnestly
of the republican sentiment in Mis-
souri, as it was evidenced by the large
attendance and manifest interest at
the meeting at Sedalia where he
opened the campaign. The attend
ance, he said, was very large, the
people coming for many miles from
every direction. Although Sedalia is
what might be considered the
"enemy's country" the people seem
to be greatly interested in listening
to the argument which he produced
in support OF the republican doctrine.
| There were many republican lead
ers present at this meeting and to
Governor Shaw's great surprise, they
expressed themselves as feeling much
encouraged over the outlook in Mis-
souri,, and some of them were opti-
mistic enough to believe that there
was possibility of the republican
ticket carrying the state this fall.
/ 1t is possible that this indication OF
a political awaking in Missouri is not

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

The New York Sun says: The In
dianapolis Sentinel of Aug. 10th, con-
tains these remarks about a man whom
many Democrats used to abuse like a
pickpocket when he was living and
whom the Democrats of today are fond
of extolling and quoting in their zeal
occasionally forcing questions:
mo more infamous slander could be
conceived than the charge that Lin
coin was an irnperialist. Every word
and every act of his heroic life stamps
the charge with falsehood. He would
have resisted Imperialism as un-Am-
erican and immoral. He would have
never governed people agaist their
consent. He would never have sneered
away the Declaration of Independence.

with human slavery. He would never

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
Des Moines, Sept. II

The week ending Sept. 10th was
warm and dry. The average daily
temperature was from to 8 degrees
above normal, and excepting in the
northern part of the state there was
but little more than trace of rain
fall. The conditions have been very
favorable for ripening corn and for
threshing the balance of unstacked
grain. fully 80 per cent of the corn
crop is now practically safe, and the
balance is so near maturity that ii
may be considered well assured.
The ripening process has been nor
NAL, securing very nearly perfect de-
velopment of ears and grain. For
the state at large it is the most uni
formly good crop grown within the
last two decades Husking returns
are likely to show it to be above all
previous records, And the farmers
are cutting and securing more than
the usual amount of forage from
their cornfields.
Except in portions of the northern
half of the state the soil has been
rather too dry for plowing, but the
acreage plowed is in excess of the
average of former years. Pastures
generally afford good supply of
forage for this season of the year.
Reports indicate good yield of fax
seed. Millet, buckwheat and sor-
ghum have done notably well. Ex-
cept winter apples, the orchards
have yielded fairly we'll. The potato
harvest is in progress. AS whole,
it has been a most bountiful crop
season.
N. B.-This issue will complete the
series of Climate and Crop Bulletins
for the season of 1900. If any unus-
ual conditions affecting the present
status of crops should arise during
the month special bulletins will be is
sued to the press.

THE DEMOCRATS AND THE
EBOERS

Pella Republican,: The democratic
party never showed its inveterate
habit of blundering, that is of accom-.
plishing the reverse of that which il
is aiming at, more clearly than it does
in its policy with reference to the
South African Republics.
What our brethren in the Trans
vaal and Orange Free State needed
was, not sympathy, but men and
money, and with both of these our
people would have supplied them to
a much greater extent than was done,
if the Democratic party had not in
terfered.
Every one, regardless of party pre-
judicer will concede that the govern
ment in these matters could take no
action but that, whatever was done,
must be done byindividual effort.
The sympathy with our struggling
kinsmen at the opening of the war
was universal in this country, and
when money was called for in behalf
of their widows and orphans, every
one was ready tocontribute. Millions
might have been raised for this pur-
pose, if the poiicitians, with their
innate perversity, had not turned a
movement which arose from disin-
terested generosity into Democratic
propaganda, and not abused every
pro Boer meeting for the purpose of
giving vent to yirulent abuse of the
administration. No one could at
tend such meeting without plac-
ing himself in antagonism to the Re-
publican party and the enthusiasm
for the widows,and orphans of the
fallen Beers was killed. If the Demo-
cratic had any great success in rails
ing funds for these unfortunates
among their own party friends, it
has not come to my notice.
What struggling instances there
were of young men in America vol
unteering under the four colored
banner of the South African Repub-
lies, have no means of ascertaining
One organized effort was made in
Chicago, where one hundred Irish.
men formed a military company
which enlisted under the "Red Cros"
and as soon as itstood on South Airi-
can soil, took up arms for the Beers.
OF course the British government
made representation about this
breach of neutrality to the admins
tration of president Mckinley; but
the president replied that he had no
authority to prevent any one from
extending his services to the "Red
Gross" and there the matter rests. If
the Democratic Journals had taken
the hint and encouraged the young
Democrats to volunteer under the
"Red Gross" insplace of abusing the
administration, President Kruger
might at present have an army equal
in numbers to that of General
Roberts. Judging from the ease
with which the ranks of our troops
in China and in the Philippines are
kept full, one concludes, that Dom
Paul would find no difficulty in filling
up his depleted ranks with recruits
from the United States, if the Demo-
Gratis would only extend to him the
right sort Of sympathy. Indeed, if
from the United States he receive
neither men nor money he has only
his Democratic friends to thank for
it ~

TILE HAND BILL.


On the day that Buffalo Bill's show
was in town two men distributed
hand bills for two Oskaloosa houses.
They visited the feed stables and
very carefully placed circular in
each vehicle. Five minutes after
they had finished the job three small
boys had taken every handful out of
the buggies and we're engaged in
making bonfires out of them. The
proprietor of one stable that the boys
did not visit, grew tired of the litter
and gathered up the bills himself and
burned them. The next day after
the show nearly ton of this class
of matter was raked and swept up
from the streets and park and carted
away to the city scavenger grounds.
Such is the fate of the handbill and
the circular: The money spent on
them is given to the wind or given
to the flames. Very few people will
read them, and those who do heed
not the inscription, as their minds
were made up before they came to
town where they would do their
trading, The only effective way to
catch the public eye is to reach the
people at their homes beforehand,
and the best possible way to do this
is through the columns of good
newspaper. If one-half the money
spent in other ways was invested in
newspaper space the advertiser
would not only save half of his first
investment, but would get double
the returns on the money there
spent.

CITY COUNCIL.
Business Of the Regular Monthly
Meeting of Aldermen.

! The city council met Monday eg-en-
ing in regular monthly session and
considable business was disposed OF.
All the members but Mr.. Neagle we're
present.
Much of the time was devoted to
the hearing of pleas and petitions for
the lowering of the taxes abatements
and correction of errors and SO on
and this prevented other business
from coming up that would other
wise have been heard. 1t was late
hour when adjournment was taken
and other matters will be called up
for hearing at meeting that will be
held Thursday evening.
A petition from j. s. Caple, Joe
Reynolds and other property owners
along First Avenue West in the
neighborhood of the Oskaloosa Col-
lege was read asking that the grade
of the street be lowered two feet at
j street and raised one foot at X
street in order that great damage be
not done to the abutting properties
along which the present grade runs.
The matter on motion was referred
to the proper committee for full in
vestigation before the council will
take action on the same.
The residents along North B street
between O and ID avenues have petit
toned the city for anew light at that
point. The matter was referred to
the light committee.
Feminist Can Lunches.
A petition generally signed by the
hotel, restaurant and lunch counter
people of the city has been prepared
asking that the city devise some
means of regulating these lunch cans
and to take such measures as will
prevent them from selling their
lunches on the street within dis
tance of 300 feet of any eating place.
Solicitor Preston gave an opinion on
the subject to the effect that it would
not be necessary to draft an ordin-
ance to control the matter but that
the mayor could refuse to issue
licenses to the lunch venders. Such
an ordinance as was asked for would
drive the cans from the streets.
In the matter of the grade for the
new walk on the east side of North
B street that was petitioned to be
lowered some weeks ago, comes now
a remonstrance against any such
action on the part of city signed by
quite large number OF the property
owners along that street.

fcers were presented and placed on
