Driven to Cedar Rapids.

The fact u.s. said q. H. Hunter to
your correspondent, "the convention
was driven to Cedar Rapids and away
from Des Moines by the Des Moines
newspapers and enthusiastic admirers
of Cummins. The other candidates of
the state do not want the convention
in Des Moines because they fear that
local influences will all be for Cum
minis and opposed to them. They de-
manded that the convention go to Ce-
dar Rapids because they did not want
to meet this influence, or supposed in
fiuence."
The date for the convention was fix
ed for August T. This was done to
avoid as far as possible other things.

So many men make mistake in set
ting out shade trees too near the house.
The trees look and are all right when
they are small, but they grow very
fast and the mistake made is soon
realized; but few have the heart to
cut down handsome shade tree
which they have planted, SO it is well
to look out for this thing when setting
out the trees.

Where the writer lives onions are re-
failing at 50 per bushel this spring.
This shows that some fellow missed
the chance to make nice little sum Of
money by not having an acre or two
OF onions last year. Onions are a very
profitable crop at SO cents a bushel,
more SO than potatoes at so cents, as
twice as many bushels of onions per
acre can be raised as Of potatoes.

When, the writer was small boy on
the farm, it was the common practice
to furnish the hired men with ration
of whisky, and the man who would not
do SO was regarded as stingy and
cranky. The expense was not very
great. as whisky then could be obtain
ed for 25 cents per gallon. The farms
are few and far between where this
practice obtains today.

Rape will not seed much If any north
of the latitude of southern Missouri. 1t
is of the cabbage family and does not
go to seed the first year, and north Of
the latitude mentioned the roots are
killed by the frosts of winter. This is
written in reply to several inquiries as
to whether there was any danger of it's
seeding the land sown with it to the
detriment of subsequent crops.

The action Of the Legislature upon
George A. Laugn.in's bill providing for
taking the authority to grant liquor
licenses out of the County Court, and
placing it in the Circuit Court, is be-
ing watched with considerable interest
by local brewers and saloonists, and
by citizens generally. An argument
frequently made against the measure,
is that it is unjust discrimination to
make the provisions of the bill apply
only to Ohio county.
Opponents of the measure are con-
WINGED that if it can be shown that
the people of Wheeling do not desire
its enactment into law, it will be
rejected. The interests affected by the
bill have lobby at Charleston against
1t, and, as stated in Saturdays Regis
ter, the Federation of Churches has
determined to send a committee to
Charleston to advocate its passage.
The situation becomes more interest
ing every day, and it is apparent that
the bill will not become a law without
very stubborn fight.
Friday night and yesterday copies of
the following petition were being cir
culated throughout the city:
''The undersigned citizens of Ohio
county request you and each of you
to vote against the pending measure
known as the Laughlin license bill. No
law vesting the license power in the
judges of the Circuit Court should pass.
We are opposed to any special law for
Ohio county not applying to other
countless"
1t was stated last night that the petit
lions had then received more than
1,5O0 signatures. Saloon-keepers are
afraid that the proposed law would
bring about a condition of affairs in
Ohio-county similar to that which ex-
lists in Pittsburg under the operation
Of the Brooks law.
Anent the bill giving the city of
Wheeling .Ae right to sell electricity
for lighting purposes to private con-
Sumers, a prominent Republican stated
to Register reporter that he had a
conversation with Mr. Laughlin while
he was in the city, during the course
which Mr., Laughlin left him under the
impression that he was opposed to,
the bill, and would vote against it un-
less a provision for the purchase of
existing commercial lighting franchises
