Concrete for High Walls.

Concrete as a building material for
walls of high structures is to have a
test in Washington. The permit, re-
Gently issued, is for seven-story
structure, with both the inside and
outside walls of concrete. Twisted iron
rods are to be used in connection with
the concrete, and the thickness of the
outside walls is to be twelve inches.
The walls are of sufficient strength, as
calculated, to resist all compressive
strains without taking into account the
strengthening effect of the twisted
iron

Silver and Wheat.

The great apostle of the 16 to 1
fallacy, who used to tell us that the
price of wheat was always dependent
on the price of silver, has again turned
his attention to wheat. Mr.. Bryan
saws that because drought has de-
stroycd part of the northwestern
wheat crop and put the price OF wheat
up 25 cents hushel, he supposes that
Hanna will go down into Kansas,
which has the finest wheat crop in its
history, and tell the people that the
republican prosperity not only gave
them the wheat, but also the price.
1t does look now as though the markets
had got such start on him that he
will hardly be able to catch up with
them. Four years ago, it will be re-
membered, when grain prices doubled,
soon after he had assured the farm
ers that it was the gold standard
which bore down the prices of their
products, the silver men explained that
the Mckinley syndicate had
doomed wheat for political purposes.
Now, if we understand Mr.. Bryan cor
rectly, he is afraid that Hanna will
try to claim credit for having given
the formers a good market for their
wheat. The theory of the silver can
didate seems to be that if it did no
good in the last campaign to accuse
the gold men of creating good mar
kets, it will perhaps be profitable to
forestall any claim to that effect that
may be made on their behalf in this
campaign.

can't Tell what may happen at this
convention" is the general comment,
and speculation and curiosity are rife
concerning the great democratic hip
podrome, which begins its proceedings
tomorrow.
Not since the balmy days of the
great Snowman, p. T. Barnum, has
such colossal aggregation of polit-
zeal hybrids, trick riders, reform
clowns and equine performers held
forth in an American city. The great
show is really combination of sew
eral smaller shows, all contained under
the big democratic tent that has JEFF
ferson and expansion at the entrance
and Bryan and anti-expansion at the
exit.
The old populist circus is here, or
rather some of its remains. These re-

One of the most recent of the many
.vexatious questions existing between
Japan and Russia is that in relation
to the fisheries in Saghalien waters.
The Japanese have been pursuing this
industry unobstructed for forty years.
Their fishing stations in those waters
number $50 or more and 5000 men are
employed. Although practically tres
passers, they have been allowed to nsn
for so many years without interference
that they had come to believe that
they had as much right to do SO as
the Russians themselves.

The following is from Lake Odessa,
Michigan, paper and refers to a sister of
Grandma Cole:
On Friday, the 18th inst, Grandma
Howard was 80 years old, and the event
was celebrated by her and her hear
relatives and dear friends at the home
Of her son, w. II. Howard, on Pearl
street. There was present in all eighteen
people, those from out of town being a
daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Sturdevant, of Elm Hall; w. E.
Howard and wife, of Battle Creek; j. E.
Howard and wife, of Cleveland, Ohio;
Mrs. Ella Thrasher and Mrs. Jennie
Stephens, of Eaton Rapids, and FL. ID
Harrington, of Leslie.
Grandma Howard is unquestionably
the oldest person in Odessa township.
She was born May Is, 1910, near Utica
N. Y, and came with her parents to
Cleveland, Ohio, over rs years ago, when
that now grand city was no larger than
Clarksville, and the only hotel there was
double log building. She later moved
to Michigan, and has lived at Portland
and Lake Odessa with her son, w. H..
continually for thirty-four years
A very merry time was had by all who
attended the grandma's birthday, and
none enjoyed the event or took deeper
and more profound interest than the old
lady herself.

Death Of Mrs. A. S. Culver.

Mrs. Celestial Culver died at the fam.
lily home in this city June 8, 1900, after
an illness of about two months. All
that loving hands guided by tender
hearts could do was done for her, but
all availed nothing, and she passed
away peacefully. The death Of Mrs
Culver is sincerely mourned by host
Of friends, for during her long residence
here she has won the high regard OF n
large number. She was good woman
and all who knew her felt the influence OF
her beautiful character, Ever prominent
in social circles and benevolent enter.
prises her death leaves place hard to
fill, and her greatest accomplishment
the greatest of womankind her ability
to make her home all that the word
implies makes her death the more sad
to the surviving family.
Celestia Rose Culver was born in
Stockholm, New York, September %,
1S4l and fell asleep at Audubon, Iowa,
June 8, 1900. The days of her pilgrim
age being 81 years8 months and l6 days.
On July 9th 1866 in her native village
she was united in marriage to Mr.. A. s.
Culver with whom she lived in most
happy wed lock for more than third OF
century. Mrs. Culver was the mother
of three children one son and two daugh-
tiers who abide with us. Vernon, Gene
We've and Emma. In 1872 Mr.. and Mrs.
Culver came to Iowa locating at Anita,
then going to Nebraska and after
short stay returning to Anita again. For
the last thirteen years their residence
has been in Audubon where each has
been prominent in the social and bust
ness affairs OF our young city. Mrs.
Culver was member OF the Presbyter-
ian church, upright in her conduct,
faithful in her attendance, and active
in all the work OF the church. In her
taking away this community has lost a
good neighbor, the deserving, a good
friend and ready helper, the church
humble disciple, the home a loving wife
a devoted and self sacrificing mother.
The funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. j. +. Hinkhouse at the resi-
dence at 3 p m. Sunday, and we're at
tended by large number of sorrowing
friends, The G. A. r.. and old soldiers
attended in body, fitting tribute to
their cid comrade, bereaved in the loss
of his wife. The interment was in
Maple Grove cemetery.

familiar with them could properly

from the books. Mr.. Esbeck's drawings

There is one feature OF business we often note
and that is, anyone trading with for season. in near.
ly every instance become permanent customers
We call to mind many OF our very best customers
who to few years ago rarely ever traded with u.s. and
who began by coming in once in a WHILE then more often
until gradually they ceased to trade at their old trading
place and became customers for all their needs in the
lines we SELL
II seems to us that the more thoroughly a customer
comes to know store and business methods the more
they appreciate them. AT first they do not notice all the
points wherein store different than Others but grad
ually they find that there many things which are
not SO apparent first glance, but which bring about
general satisfaction in trading which they do not remem
Der OF noticing in other stores.
They learn that in all selling, a spirit OF fairness is
not only to the buyer but 10 the seller
reliability OF goods and styles. The general conscien-
tious and friendly effort by all to sell customer some-
thing which will be not only economical but satisfactory
An absence OF the practice found in some stores to do
anything, say anything to make saIe and the more oh.
noxous practice of urging and pushing customer to take
something not wanted because the wanted thing is not in
stock
They learn that selling in this store is a dgnifed
transaction, that customers not looked upon as COM
mon prey, and that ALL rich and poor old and young are
treated with universal courtesy and honesty.
These are OF the reasons why customers
continue to trade at Russels -

The streets we're fearfully dusty
Saturday, the wind carrying particles
into every room down town. The street
sprinkler is almost a necessity. This is
the first summer it has not been running
for some time. It is usual for the bust
ness men to subscribe enough to pay a
man to do the work and to pay for the
water from the town. Not quite as much
was subscribed as usual, only about
enough to pay the man for his work
The council was asked that the town
donate the water, but they declined. If
all the business men would subscribe
plenty would De made up, but there
are always a few who are willing the
other fellows should put up for public
benefits but that they be excused. We
think the public generally would approve
if the council would donate the water.
SprinkIing is benefit to the town in a
general business way, and whatever
helps the town as a business center helps
at least little every piece of property in
the town. We hope the sprinkler will
soon start and run regularly.
