An Old Repubiican.

Hiram GosneI, the matchless stew
ard Of the Mahaska county poor farm,
is n of the oldest republicans in the
county and he again stands by the
republican party and viii cast his
vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt this
fall. Mr.. Gosnell has been in the
county since 1916. He came of sturdy
old Virginia stock that was democracy
to the core. He went to the war in
1854 in Captain A. Heads Company
F of the Tenth Iowa Infantry. He was
in twenty-seven battles during his ser,
vice and was wounded at the engage
ment of Champion Hill. Mr.. Gosnell
voted for Lincoln in 1860 when he was
but nineteen years of age,--but he
looked to be twenty-one-and he will
still cast his ballot with the side OF
right and prosperity. "Hurrah for
Lacey and the whole ticket, ''says the
gentleman.

There's a certain way to find relief
A sure way to be cured

Steck al Prairie city.

The News-Kodac says:-Hon Judge
A. @. Steck, of Ottumwa, democratic
candidate for congress, was adver-
tised to speak here at two O'Clock
last Saturday, afternoon. He was
expected to arrive here at 8 a. m.
from Oskaloosa, but disappointed his
followers and did not reach the city
until 3 p. m , when he was met by
representatives of his party and es-
corted to the Union Hall where a fair
sized audience of ladies and gentle
men had assembled. He confined
bis remarks mostly to the question
of imperialism :" which proved un
interesting even to a number OF
democrats, who with many others
left before he was through speaking.
His speech was certainly a disap-
pointment to all and will only help
to roll up a larger majority for Lacey.

Mrs. U. Bradley is quite Ill.
Mr.. V. Brubaker's new barn is al
most completed. There is not a finer
looking or more substantial building
in the neighborhood and it adds very
much to the looks of the farm.
Rev. w. s. Shearer did not fill his
appointment at Cedar last Sunday,
as on Friday evening he received a
telegram that his wife's sister, who
lives in Mt. Pleasant, was about to
die, and they went there on satur-
day.
The LADIES' Pie Social at the home
of Mrs. Moore Friday evening was a
in every way. They cleared
81 for the parsonage fund. Frank
Moore, of the Golden Eagle, and
Miss Mabel Young, of your city were
present.
There was a hot time in Cedar last
week over the rural mail route and
everybody seemed excited and talk
ed as though we were about to lose
our post office and depend on getting
our mail from Oskaloosa. But on
Saturday morning Messrs r. Lyon,
r. w. Moore and r. e. Holloway
went to Hedrick to meet Major JEFF
frey, the special agent, who is work
ing almost day and night to furnish
rural mail delivery to the people,
and who is here by the direct efforts
of John F, Lacey. After they came
home and reported, everything was
as calm as a May morning. Every
body seemed happy.
Real estate is lively at Cedar. Oh

Mrs. A. j, Burgess visited a few
days ago at the parental Shipley
home in Wright.
The continued rains have stopped
corn gathering and there will not be
much picked this week. The ground
is thoroughly soaked with water so
that a team could not pull half a load
out of the field. H
There was quite a large crowd at
the Hedrick OK roast last Saturday.
A great many republicans were pre-
sent who report the speaking OF the
same old sort that we generally hear
from democratic speakers but they
did not say anything about 16 to l.
1t was a regular harangue on the
Philippine question. The Judge who
thinks he is running for congress did
not appear.
In our last we insisted on every
republican going to the polls on the
9Th of November and voting straight,
We make this last appeal to all re-
publicans to be sure and vote on
election day, we also appeal to al
men of all parties who are opposed
to Bryanism to vote for his defeat,
1t is hardly necessary to call your
attention to the last four years OF
democratic rule in this country. We
will ask you all to remember the
prices farmers received for their
products, ask the laboring men about
the condition they were in from '9S
to '97, during Cleveland's ~administra'
ton. Compare that four years with
the four years of McKinley's admin
istration. Remember that under
Cleveland we had to issue bonds to
the amount of s262, O00, 900 and that
in time of peace with all nations,
while under the peerless statesman
ship of William Mckinley we are
loaning money to other nations, the
farmers are receiving more for theil
products and laborers are getting
more for their labor, and remember
another thing, there is plenty o.
money. There is more per capits
than there ever was before in the
history of this country. Now re
publicans everywhere, fall in, all &c
to the polls and vote the tioke
straight and victory will perch OF
our banners.

There was an unusual case of re.

was intoxicated and would not be
cared for by relatives. The police
were called in the ease and the fellow
started with them for the jail. He
suddenly put up a terrible fight and
it was a task for Chief Moore and
Officer Seibert to handle him. The
patrol wagon was called into service
and the man was hauled to jail there
in. He was subsequently released.
