About the cheapest looking Com.
mencement programme We have seen
IN many day are those received by
Prof. Warner. of the Missouri Valley
schools, for the June commencement.
Mr.. Warner is evidently believer in
"the foreigner paying the tax" as he
makes rule of every year sending
away from Missouri Valley to have
his commencement programs printed.
A better job than he received this year
could have been printed in any office
In Harrison county. We wonder how
much the Fremont, Neb., editors con-
tribute in taxes toward paying Prof.
Warmers salary? The ticket depart
ment connected with THE TIMES Office
prints work for cities in almost every
state in the union, but when it comes
to printing job for our public schools
which we pay an enormously high tax
to help support, it is mot able to turn
out the work." That kind of work is
not calculated to help build up q town.
1t makes the home printer weary"

Died, at his farm home nea,
Calhoun, May %, 1901, VIM. Hill
lard, aged rs years.
VIM. billiard was born in Lin.
erick, Ireland, in 1926, aud in his
early hoyhood came to America.
In 1856 he married in Whithall,
NY.
The family followed farming,
living at different times in Wis
consin, Illinois and northern
Iowa. In 1872 they settled on a
farm near Honey Greek, and II
years later moved to the farm
near Calhoun, on which they have
since lived.
Ten children were born to them,
eight of whom are still living.
They are Chas billiard, of the
Board of Supervisors, VIM Hill
lizard, on a farm near Pisgah;
Nellie, the wife of Bide Scebold
of Council Bluffs; Lydia, the wife
of Geo. Colver; Mollie, the wife
of J d Daugherty; Jennie, the
wife of Mallory, of Boone, and
Josie at home.
The immediate cause of Mr..
billiards death was cancer of the
hand, caused from nail bruise
some four years ago. The NAL
ady was most terrible one and
caused him intense suffering for
years which he ever bore with un-
tlincbing, accomplishing forti-
tude.
In his home and private life
Mr.. billiard was man of unblem-
ished character, fair and honorable
III all his dealings, charitable to
all. liberal in his views, we'll read,
industrious, honest in things great
and small. No man ever knew
him but desires to lay laurel on
his tomb expressive of the fact
that he was one of natures noble
men, though his life was laid along
humble lines.
The funeral occurred Saturday
morning from the residence to
Rose Hill, his friend and neigh
Dor. H d Mech, speaking the
last words of commentator over
the remains made honorable by
an upright life.

1t will be q mistake for the insur.
ance companies doing business in
Iowa to engage in Iowa politics.
There are two things the people of
Iowa will insist on being put into the
code. One is requiring the company
in case of total loss and no evidence
of fraud to pay the total amount of
insurance and another is to forbid the
adjuster to settle claim with club.
Two essential reforms. The governor
vetoed the valued policy bill of the
last general assembly but some other
governor may not exercise his veto.-

Crop Bulletin tor Week End
ing MAY 81.

Cooler weather with fairly we'll
distributed showers and large
percentage of cloudiness were the
more important features Of the
week. The daily average tenn
perature was 4 to 6 degrees below
normal, and at the close of the
week light frosts were noted at
numerous stations, but no material
damage resulted. The showers
were highly beneficial to all crops
though somewhat less than the
present needs in portions of the
southern and central sections.
The moisture, cool weather and
excessive cloudiness we're especial
~ favorable to meadows, pastures
and small grain; but the condi-
tions were not 80 good for growth
of corn, and planting was some-
what retarded, though nearly COM
pleted in all districts. Nearly all
reports indicate that corn is maxi
ing good stands, with not more
than the usual necessity of re-
planting on account of defective
seed and damage by worms. The
work Of cultivation is in progress,
under improved conditions of
soil. Meadows. pastures and grain
fields show decided improvement
in larger part of the state.

Good Advice.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from dyspep-
STA and liver complaint. More than
seventy-iive per cent of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects;
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habitusl costiveness, pslpitation of the
heart, heartburn, water brash, gnswing
and burning pains at the pit of the
stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue
and disagreeable taste in the mouth,
coming up of food after eating, low
spirits, etc. Go to your druggist and
get bottle of August Flower for 75c
Two doses will relieve you. Try it.

had been to the annual meeting of the
18th III. infantry, who hold 9 reunion
once each year. lie found the ranks
of his old regiment thinning out as
time passes, and is looking forward to
the time when but few of his comrades
will respond to roll call. He is the
youngest of the number and he is now
over So years old. He had the honor
of being elected president of the AS
ISOLATION.
Time tlies-the young men who re-
sponded to the shrill notes of the fife
aud rattle of the drum in 1861 are now
old men; their steps then brisk and
firm. are now unsteady and their hair
silvering with age, and soon the last
bugle call will be heard by them and
nothing be left but the memory of the
heroic services of the boys in blue.
All honor to the brave men who went
forth to battle for the perpetaity of
the government and the glory of cur
flag.
We wish for Col. Newton many
more years of usefulness and good
health. and many more visits to the re-
union of the 18th Illinois Vol. Infsn-
