A Study ofPoIitical Mysteries.
A most Lamentable Comedy is the
title of powerful novelette, by Mr..
William Allen White, which begins in
the September q issue of the Satur-
day Evening Post of Philadelphia.
This absorbing serial is a study Of po.
litical hysterics-the story Of state
gone mad. The scene of the novelette,
is western state laboring under the
burdens of panic year. The central
figure isa grocery store demagogue,
whose harebrained oratory captures
the state convention. The story rises
to height OF dramatic power and in
tensity rarely equalled in the fiction
of the day.

IOWA REPUBLICANS ACTIVE.
Will Carry On Vigorous Campaign
Despite Democratic Weakness.

Des Moines, Aug. 26.-The republic,
ans have made arrangements to carry
on an active campaign in Iowa this
year, but it is rather a puzzle to deter
mine what opposition they will have.
Nothing has been done by the demo
Gratis that will give them the slightest
prestige in the eyes of the
people. The republicans have
nominated a strong ticket
and the fractional war that ragged so
bitterly before the convention has left
scarcely trace. The democrats, on
the other hand. have nominated tick,
ct for which they care nothing. None
of their leaders wanted the men who
were put up, but none Of them cared
enough to make a fight against them.
After the plank adopting the Kansas
City platform was adopted everything
went to pieces and the convention be-
came bowling mob.

oUANTRELL RAID CLAIMS PAID.
Kansas Wants Reimbursement Of
100000 From National Treasury.

Kansas City, Mo-. Aug. 27.-State
Auditor Cole of Kansas will undertake
to collect from the federal govern
ment 100000 which the state has
paid on account of the Quantrell raid
claims.
Since 1887 the state legislature has
been making appropriations from time
to time to pay these claims, with tile
understanding and expectation thai
the general government will refund
Last winter the legislature made the
final appropriation. Auditor Cole will
enlist the aid of the Kansas delegation
in congress and believes that by push
ing the matter he will succeed at a
single session.

added immensely to that loss. 1t is
true that our poor stand is attributed
to unfavorable conditions at planting
time but these very conditions sug-
gest the wisdom of using seed that
will terminate one hundred per cent
even when the soil is cold.
Begin Now for 1902.
Preparations for good crop in 1902
should begin as the growing crop has
matured. When only few bushels Of
seed are to be saved this should be
selected in the field before husking
time and especially before the heavy
frosts begin Seed for high ground
should be selected from the higher
lands, while the bottom lands should
have seed taken from the lower lands.
Ears should be chosen only from such
stalks as are of a good size and also
bear the ear we'll up on the stalk.
What to Choose.
As to the best type of ear to choose
there will be some variation in yarie-
ties, although on general principles
all varieties that are worth presery-
ing should conform to a certain stand
ard In the first place it should be
uniform in color, both grain and cob
which should indicate some fiNsdness
in type and give at least some assur-
ance that the crop grown from such
seed would resemble the parent not
only in color but in other essentials.
All ears chosen should be well filled
out II butt and tip Bare tips Incl
cate that the lower kernels OH the ear
absorb noulishment that should be
distributed throughout the entire
length. OF course imperfect pollina,
tion is sometimes the cause, but on
general principles such seed should
be rejected. Perfect filling at ends
is more often found where the ears are
short and mistakes are easily made in

NEW PRIEST NAMED.
Father Maniett Appointed to Pastor
ate of Sacred Heart Parish.

Rev. Father Charles Donahue, who
has charge of st. Mary's parish, this
city during the illness of Father Kel-
ly, this morning received information
that Bishop Cosgrove of Davenport
had appointed Rev. Father Henry Man
lett to the paStorate of the Sacred
Heart parish, the vacancy being
caused by the death of Father Bernard
Flood Father Maniett will arrive in
the city Saturday and will at once take
charge of the Sacred Heart parish.
Has High Position.
For the past eleven years Father
Maniett has been vice-president of st.
Ambrose college, Davenport, and is
said to be very brilliant young man.
The Sacred Heart parish is fortunate
in securing such an able man, and one
who can fill the vacancy left by
Father Flood. Father Maniett gets an
excellent parish and one in good con-
dition.
Born in Washington.
He was born in Washington, D. c.,
about two blocks from the Capitol
building, about thirty-eight years ago.
When very small boy he removed
with his parents to Charlton, where
they now reside. While Father Man
lett was yet young lad, he entered
the employee of the Burlington road at
Charlton, where he remained until he
had mastered the intricacies of tele-
graphy. Shortly afterwards he enter
ed ST. Joseph's college, Dubuque. AT
ter finishing the course at this college
he went to st. Mary's seminary, Bal
timore, where he completed his course.
He then returned to Davenport, where
he was ordained in the old st. Mar
garet's cathedral by Bishop Cosgrove.
After Father Maniett had been ordain-
ed he was sent to Des Moines where
he labored for year as assistant to
Father Flavin. Then he returned to
Davenport, where he assisted Very
Rev. James Davis. vicar general of the
Davenport diocese, at the Davenport
cathedral
Takes Post Graduate Course.
Shortly after this. he went to the
Catholic University at Washington, D.
e., where he took post graduate
course. Returning to Davenport,
Father Maniett was made vice-presi-
of st. Ambrose college of that city
which position he has held up to the
present time.
An Able Man.
Father Maniett is well known in OF
tumwa having visited here many times
as he passed backward and forward to
his home at Charlton. He is a bril-
liant talker, easy to reach, and makes
friends wherever he goes.

committee may be called some time
this week. 1t will be for the purpose
of selecting chairman and attending
to other matters relative to the cam
paign. None of the members of Tie
committee wants to be chairman. Al
meeting held after the convention ad
Journed ali of them refused it. All OF
the leaders left the convention in dis
gust John NJ. Read of Des Moines
who is not member of the committee
has been talked of for chairman. A.
d. Jackson of Tama, who was offered
The place, refused to consider it after
the action of the convention.
There is no longer any democratic,
organization in Iowa worthy of tie
name. Here the gold men see their
hope. They declare that hey will be
able to control the next convention,
and their claim seems reasonable.
This year they almost secured control.
yet for the last four campaigns the
fight has been made on silver basis.
Everything was in the hands of the
silver men. Whatever campaign is
waged this year will be a complete
failure in the opinion of politicians.
This will give the gold men who arc
the organizers of the party an oppol.
tunity to come in and take charge of
things at the next convention, which
they will undoubtedly control.
The republicans, on the other hand,
will make an aggressive campaign this
year. Democrats and republicans
alike predict majority of from 75,-
600 to 100000 for the republican tick.
ct this fall
There is some interest in the next
legislature. 1t will elect two senators,
besides taking up large amount of
important legislation. The question
of railway assessments is sure to couie
UP, and an effort will be made to
amend the present law. There is a
large faction that favors assessing the
railways on the basis of their stocks
and bonds. Their value in the mark
cts will be taken as their valuation for
assessment under this plan.
Insurance legislation will come in
for it's share of attention. The Iowa
fraternal congress will ask for legis-
lation for reciprocity with other states.
1t desires that an examination of a
company in it's home state shall be
final, and that the result shall be &C.
cepted by the insurance departments
of other states. To this end bill will
be introduced promising to other
states that their companies that have
been examined at home will be admit
ted to this state without further ex-
animation providing similar courtesy
is extended to Iowa companies.
While state politics is quiet for the
present, much is already being heard
of the congressional fights in the var
ious districts. Congressman Hull will
have hard fight in the seventh dis
trict. OpPosed to him will be Judge
S. F. Prouty, who has secured con-
troll of the city and county organiza-
ton in Polk county, and will use it
against Hull
The legislature may re-district the
state. Indeed, it is almost certain
that it will, and in this case some new
features may be added to the situation
before even the next campaign is COM
menced. Some of the congressman
may suddenly find themselves in new
surroundings and compelled to make
fight in new counties. This will, of
course, give rise to many complica-
lions.
