SPARE THE BIRDS.

Washington Press: Why has wheat
culture failed in this county? We
used to raise enough wheat to bread
our people, and mills at Coppock,
Brighton and on English river were
good properties. Now we have only
a little over 700 acres, each, in winter
and spring wheat, to about 80, 900 in
corn, SO 900 in oats, 36, 900 in hay, o.
900 in pasture.
Weevil took the wheat. Noxious
insects preyed upon it, and we killed
the birds who are the natural enemies
to such pests. We thus disturbed the
balance in nature, and our impertin-
ence cost us dear. We buy our -four,
as result. One of the earliest toys
boys use is the niger shooter, the
airgun, and they ache to be big
enough to shoot o gun, and they
blaze away at birds. Fathers did not
teach them better. The fathers did
not know that birds have great
economic worth. American agri-
culture, it Is estimated by the gov
ernment office, loses $500, ,0OO, 200

LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE.
Kansas Citya Journal: Next to
financial agitation, what the country
wants least is Tariff agitation. 1t was
the apparent settlement of the Tariff
and money questions that gave the
business confidence which brought
about present prosperity. 1t was
largely agitation of the Tariff when
Grover Cleveland was President
which precipitated the general de-
preston and hard times during the
last term of his administration. One
of the first official acts of President
Mckinley was to call special session
of Congress to pass Protective act,
and this, with the assurance that the
Tariff would not again be disturbed
for 1T least four years, Immediately
ushered in an era of business activity
and better times.
When Senator Hanna says the Re-
publican party is not likely to make
any important alterations in the
Dingley law his words are calculated
to promote confidence in business
circles. The uncertainty which re-
suits from agitations of economic and
financial questions is more harmful
in it's effects than unfavorable legis-
lation. What the industrial and COM
mercial interests require Ia a feeling
of quiet--an assurance atsfhey will
not be subjected to changes in the
conditions to which they have ad-
justed their affairs. All they ask of
the Government is that it will let
we'll enough alone. To interfere with
the widespread prosperity the
country is now enjoying by threats
of radical Tariff or currency changes
would be political crime. All the
tariff changes that are advisable can
be made through the medium of re-
ciprocity treaties, without inflicting
any damage to business,
1t is quite possible that the Demo-
cratic party in 1904, in lieu of better
issue, will again declare for Free
Trade; but that Is several years
away. The Republican party will
certainly not be so unwise as to mar
its own prosperity regime by trying
to break down Protection to home
industry at the next session of Con-
gress-or at any other time.

for sport, for plumage, for wings and
heads used by milliners and the like.
Blcod-thirstiness and female vanity
are expensive passions. Farmers slay
their best friends in banging away at
hawks and owls. We suppose 75 per
cent of our farmers would say, Off
hand, that these birds are their emf
mics. 1t is not so. For every chicken
the owls and hawks take in this
county, the cats and the clergy eat
10000. The birds are the friends and
helpers of farmers, gardeners and
orchardists. The department indicts
but one bird in the whole list, and
that is the English sparrow, and we
believe it libels even that pugnacious
little fellow. Sam Gardner saw them
cleaning up his cabbage leaves. But
however it may be with the sparrow,
our other birds are benefactors, and
we are greatly in their debt, and
children should be taught to protect
and befriend them. Our girls and
women should be ashamed to wear
bird ornaments on their hats. Such
things do not make pretty person
look any prettier, and if a woman is
plain wing or a head does not help
her out bit.
Quit killing birds.

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.

Dies MONIES, IOWA, June %.
The past week was warmer than
usual, with numerous showers afford
ing an ample supply of rainfall, ex-
cept in portions of the east and north
east districts. In some localities in
the north central and western dis
tricts the rainfall was excessive, re-
tarding cultivation of corn and
damaging clover hay. In general it
was very favorable for the growth of
vegetation, and especially beneficial
to pastures, timothy and blue grass
meadows, small grain, potatoes, gar
den truck and small fruit. Corn has
made rapid growth, and has been
we'll cultivated except in sections
where field work was hindered by
heavy showers. Oats, barley and
spring wheat are headed out, with
condition improved though still below
the average. Berries are yielding
abundantly. All reports indicate a
light yield of apples, especially the
late keeping varieties.

GROUND IS BROKEN.
Work Commenced Upon oska-

Work was commenced upon the
Oskaloosa Federal Building this
morning. Ground was broken for the
excavations for the basement at the
corner of Market street and A
avenue. The contract for the excava-
tion was secured by Peter Nelson of
this city and he commenced shovel
ing dirt this morning and had force
of diggers and teams on hand. The
excavation. measures eighty-two by
forty two.
Mr.. D. o. Pattison, uperintendent
of construction, is on the ground to
see that every detail of plans and
specification is carefully adhered to.
The work will be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible and the ex-
cavation will be ready for the stone
masons as soon as the material is
on the ground.

Assaults and Battery.
A couple of oskaloosa boys were
out in certain part of the city the
other evening looking for a doctor or
some other fellow. They were NOV
ing along quietly and intent upon
getting to their destination when
their attention was attracted by
peculiar disturbance. Thinking to
give assistance in answer to an ap-
peal for help they appeared upon the
scene of a "scrap." There was hot
time in progress. One Of the gentle
mer stopped q brick that was thrown
from some where. 1t struck him
fairly upon the watch pocket and he
has since considered the time piece
not worth repairing. His companion
was chased from the place by couple
of dusky fairies, and as he ran up the
alley to get out of the mix-up he ran
into the arms of great fat colored
nanny. Astonishment was mutual
and Dinah recovering from her sur
prize of the impact exclaimed. "Why
Lor' sake honey, what's the matter2
Is you looking for your niggah?"
At last accounts the parties con-
cerned had not resumed their natural
color, and yet it is said that they
have become ardent advocates of the
curfew ordinance.

AND NOWTO WORK

The Republican county ticket has
been nominated. The convention
done its work well, enthusiastically
and harmoniously. The ticket nom-
mated is strong one, and ore de-
serving greatest success at the polls.
Very seldom indeed has any party
ever placed before the voters ticket
every candidate on which is so
peculiarly fitted for the office he
seeks, and whose standing and ac-
quaintance in the community which
has known them for years is as high
as the ticket just named. There is
confidence on every hand that the
ticket will be elected by an over
whelming majority, and that it should
be. But let us not suffer from over
confidence, as we often have in years
gone past. Republicans if you will
think back over the past score of
years you will call to mind that every
candidate elected by the opposition
has been through our being over con-
confident that 'our ticket will be
elected any way, there's no use work.
ing" :" Don't get caught that way this
year. This is an "off year''-the first
following presidential election
and heretofore there has always been

Of II per cent from this over con-
fidsnce, stay-at-home vote and in
activity. That condition this year
means 500 less votes than President
Mckinley received last year. Couple
this with the removal OF near 300 Re-
publicans from Muchakinock to
Monroe county, and we have loss

of the county. The opposition know
this as well as we do, and they will
take every possible advantage of it..
1t is their only hopes for any success.
