When the Cowboy is a Hero.

Il am very fond of the genus
inc cowboy, now fast disappear
ing" says Rev. Cyrus Town
send Brady, narrating his expe>
riences as "a Missionary in the
Great West" in the May Ladies'
Home Journal. T've ridden
with and hunted with him, eat
en- and laughed with him, camps
ed and slept with him, wrestled
and prayed with him, and I
always found him a rather good
sort; fair, honorable, generous,
kindly, loyal to his friends, his
own worst enemy. The impress
sion he makes when he rides
through town in a drunken
revel, shooting miscellaneously
at every thing, is a deservedly
bad one, I grant you-but You
should see him on the prairie in
a 'round-up or before a STAINS
pede there he is hero"

Beware of a Cough.

A cough is not a disease but
symptom. Consumption and
bronchitis, which are the most
dangerous and fatal diseases,
have for their first indication a
persistent cough, and if proper
lily treated as soon as this cough
appears are easily cured. Cham
berlaln's Cough Remedy has
proven wonderfully successful,
and gained its wide reputation
and extensive sale by its success
in curing the diseases which
cause coughing. If it is not
beneficial it will not cost you
a cent. For sale by DR.. J. +.

FARMERS PROSPERITY.

There is not a single occupa.
ton, business Or profession to
which is not attached by the
Republican organs the label
prosperity" Every individual
man knows better than the stat
isticians whether he is prosper>
Gus or not, and it is useless to
expect an aggregation of indi>
viduals to loudly express thanks
for prosperity when they do not
come up to the label. The no.
ton has been going about that
the farmers are afflicted with
"astounding prosperity" simply
because prices of farm products
have, In the last two or three
years, partly recovered from the
low level they reached in some
previous years. Now the far
mer ought to knew, and the
record of mortgages in the vari~
Gus county clerks and recorders
offices demonstrate the fact, that
all these increased receipts, if
anybody can show a bank ac>
count demonstrating any in
crease, are more than absorbed
by the increased price he must
pay for everything for which
the farmer exchanges his pro
duce. He must pay tribute to
the trust, and no better illustra>
ton Of the truth of this can be
made than in the case of the
American Steel Company. Six
thousand men were thrown out
of employment because of the
lack of demand for implements
which the farmers could not
purchase because OF their high
price. If there was so much
prosperity, why could not the
farmer afford to purchase the
necessary Implements The
fact is that a heavy impost is
laid upon nearly everything the
farmer needs in his household
and in his business, while the
prices of his own products are at
the mercy of spectators, COM
bines, colners,- etc, etc, The
farmer has to meet the worlds
price in disposing of his product, |
but he encounters a different
state of things when he comes
to purchase for himself.
How much of the enormous |
balance of trade in our favor has |
reached the farmer7 Has he'll
been enabled to reduce his
mortgages by payment Of thej
principal, or even to pay the in>
terest in full without securing |
an extension of timer Are his |
wife and children better dressed
is his farm in a more f1ourishine |
condition, has he purchased any |
new carpets, curtains or furni>
ture for his household Is he
enabled to employ more help to |
relieve his aching bones and |
those Of his wife and children

Der the mead the cattle roam.
In the spring your blood is freighted
With the germs that cause disease,

Signals warning you of these.

Makes you every duty shirk,-

A Bright Ray of Hope.


that the senate of the United
States is not definitely lost to
the people, and that if he should
be elected in November with
the almost certain Democratic
gains, the free silver force in the
senate would certainly be con-
siderable and in the end decls-
i've. The St. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat, a rabid gold standard or
gan, comedies this much, and
that Mr.. Bryan's election wi II
be serious breach in the gold
standard intrenchments and
would give prestige to further
efforts to break them down
completely. The majority
against silver in the existing
senate is not over seven. Of the
thirty senators whose terms ex>
pire March 3 next, seventeen
are Republicans, including one
each from Kansas, Montana,
West Virginia, Oregon, Idaho,
Nebraska, Wyoming and Colo
RADIO. Two gold Democrats go
out at the same time. The Dem
ocrats are likely to fill two of
the three vacancies, those in
Delaware aud Utah, and Bryan's
election will bring in a Demo
cratic vice~president, who would
vote in case of a tie. Thus far
the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Still further extending the
idea, the people of the western
states have reached the conclu-
sion that they are 1nisrepresent~
ed in the Senate. Colorado, Wy
oming. Kansas, Montana, Idaho,
and Nebraska are represented by
six senators, who were elected
on the pretense of being bimets
aliStS and who voted for the sim
gle gold standard, the placing Of
paper money in the hands of the
banks and the creation of bank
trust to CONTROL the business Of
the country, there is no question
that the people of each and ev-
cry one of these six states are
absolutely opposed to the things
for which their six senators vo>
ted. and the evidence is accu
mulating that they are taking
exceedingly great care not to
permit any of the six to further
misrepresent them after next
March. The change of these six
states alone will cut the gold
majority. in the senate i'll two,
without taking into account
gains that may be made in other
parts of the country. Kentucky
has already elected a silver
man to succeed Lindsay. In
Louisiana Cafrey has been de-
feated, overwhelmingly defeated,
in the primaries by silver
man. The review of the whole
situation will therefore appear
to be one Of great hope to the
Democracy and to the cause of
the people, and the election of
Mr.. Bryan will not be, as has so |
often been alleged, useless ex
penditure of votes and the plac-
ing of helpless incumbent in
the presidential chair. Sue
cess, however, can only be-
attained by constant efforts to
abide by unity of purpose. |
There never has been a time in
the history of the country when |
the lines have been SO clearly |
defined between the cause of |
the people and that of a special
class.

FIGHT OVER scHooLHoUsE.
Jasper County Village Has Hard Strug-
Gle TO Get a School.

Grinnell, May 17.-(special.)- In
Jefferson township, this county, con-
test has been going on for several
years over the location of school
house. Hartwick is village of the
township, in which are some twenty
to twenty-five children of school age,
who have been obliged to go mile
out in the country to school. The citi-
zens OF Hartwick have prayed, remon-
strated and argued. but in vain. The
farmer directors have as steadily re-
fused to build a school house or allow
one to be built in the village. Lately,
however, the Hartwicll people got 4
resolution thru authorizing the re-
moval of the school house TO the vii
lags, and the next day it was moved
to town. OF course, protest was made
in the shape of an appeal to the coun-
ty superintendent, Miss Schell, to see
whether the action of the county
board in relocating the school site of
No. 8 should be sustained. The super
intendent withheld her decision for a
few days. One thing is certain; the
people of the village of Hartwick are
entitled to school privileges.

instruments and possesses a soprano
voice of unusual depth and sweetness.
She is also "a linpuist of some ability,

career she has had the reputation of
being a studious and earnest-minded
girl. She is about %, tall, with brown
eyes and hair and resembles her faith
