tion q writer who claims to be Il Dem
ocrat of olden days comes ont in a
windy article, a graudStand play rs il
were, to deny that the spirit Of that
party is to return the old Democratic
ring to power and inilict the county
with it's VIGOROUSLY corrupt methods.
He presumeS TO aSsail this paper for
its humble efforts in forewarning the
people and especially those who were
not here to taste the bitterness Of The
cup that body of corrupt politicians
dispensed to the tax payers and all
who did service for the county. But
this writer openly admits every charge
we made and verified our review Of
that period. He says there were
speakeasies in those days. lie says
there was shaving OF county orders
but he does not say anything about
the big law suit the county had on its
hands because of the acts Of the last
Democratic sheriff VIC had, He does
not tell about the settlement another
Democratic office holder made and
how there came very nearly being
serious trouble in getting that settle
ment. He does not tell that the set
element was finally made in way
Involving numerous county orders
lie does not tell how men had to wait
for months to get their county orders
cashed. he fails TO state anything
about the way Office holders OF thai
day got rich by using the public funds
and bartering in county orders. Their,
are great many things he purposcly
omits in his review Of that period in
The affairs Of Harrison county bu
since it has been and is the policy Of
his party to hoodwink the people he
is consistent in that il not in other
matters and he Is satisfied to pass
over those things in silence But II
giatities us to know that he corrohnr-
ateS US in many OF the material puin
and since the Democratic paper en-
ddrses his statements by giving them
publication, lSL it. not. hcnccforth at.
tempt to refute them. 1t has com.
mitted itself on that score and will
not dare for the sake Of truth and con-
sistency to deny that conditions were
Just as we briefly described them.
The records show for themselves and
II there are any doubling ThomaScs as
to what we have said and been cor
roborated by the Democratic Sheet
itself let them 60 and examine for
themselves. They will be satisfied
then that both the Telegram and the
News told the truth and agree OF the
points at issue. The miserable low
and contemplate feature Of that
Democratic writer's article, however,
is his abuse and SANDER Of other people
in order to hide the confessions which
he was forced to make for his party
There are people though who can non
write even three lines without put
ling Ne malice of sin-scarcd hearts
into those three lines. The Demo
ratio writer n the News is evidently
me OF these. In about another week
lfter he has put his wits together ano
fixed up another conglomeration OF
we p.E expect to read an.
other confess of the sins of his
parry. |

Novel Method of Killing
Hawks.

a farmer who lives in northern
Louisiana has grown weary of pep
pering gray hawks with blue wlis-
tier buckshot. It takes too much
time. He sat down and thought
long, and finally evolved method
that does credit to Yankee ingenu-
lsy. Every one knows that hawks
perch only on dead trees. This
Louisiana farmer made strong
pole some so feet in length by nails
ing some scantliugs together. TO
one emo of the pole he tied u scythe
blade. with, it, razor edge turned
down. He ses the pole up about
500 feet from his barnyard. An
hour had hardly passed when a
black hawk alighted on the scythe,
grasped it with its :alons, but re-
leased it's Hold with suddenness that
gave ample proof OF an injury sus-
taiued. The bird z anced down
and attacked the s-ythe vigorously
It. was cut again and again, but
never relented. maddencd probably
by lis own blood, as most hawks
are. After short struggle the
bird fell to tue ground with his head
split open. The Louisiana planter
has killed many hawks in the same
manner

Back to the Country.

The country boy sighs for city
life, and when he finally reaches the
goal he begins to wish himself again
among the birds and flowers. With
the coming OF old age he regards
himself lucky if he can get h's feet
back on mother earth. The strife
is as great to acquire sut1lc'eht
wealth to purchase land ON which to
spenc the declining wears as was
the struggle to get a footho'd IN the
city. The smiling sky and the
green earth seem to be the natural
heritage OF man, and no one feels
this quite So keenly as the one who
has had taste IN youth OF the
sweets of rural l,fe.-C"untry Life
in America

The RaZ0rback Cross.

The experiment no" gong on al
the Wisconsin station with crossing
razorbacks on pure bred swine
seems to be proceeding in some re-
spects satisfactorily. such as more
prolific breeding, etc Of the pro-
gress being made at the station
Prot. CARLYLE. who has charge OF u
saws: The razorback is notorlously
prolific So far as fecund'ty Is
concerned they are superb. We
had number of fine Berkshire
sows that had furnished US with
nothing but disappointment, but
with the arrival of the razorbacks
from the South this dis appeared.
The cross resulted in some spien-
did litters, and some OF the best 1e-
male stock we have had on the
farm is half razorback. They I'M
prove rapidly under d"mestIcat'on
and make splendid mothers:
Pure-bred porclne stock is often
lamentably deficient both iii pre-
potency and digestion. Razorback
prepotency is proverbial and It's d.
geslion phenomlnal, The crosses
are healthy in every respect. rF''''
CARLYLE. having been s"ccesstal !"
his breeding experiments, wh'ch
ldono,otroted that a lot OF fine but
nonbreeding sows really possessed
merit, is studying the digestion
question with view OF as scertalnlne
what returns the crosses Will MAKE,
compared with pure-breds IN
time he expects to fix a new PR
cine type. Indiana Farmer.

Something New in Uniforms

THE Mobile & Ohio Railroad
has inaugurated it's dining car serv-
ice between st. Louis, New Orleans
and Mobile. A striking innovation
is the uniforms worn by the conduc-
tors. CARRIED in silk-faced, brown
broadcloth tuxedos, with trousers
to match and high cut vests of
white, corded pique, with gilt but
tons, they present natty appear
ance. The color and the absence
of all insignia, to say nothing of
the evident expensiveness of the
material and the workmanship, con-
stitutes a marked departure from
all established precedents IN rail-
road uniforms, and is very pleasing
to the passengers. From the ST.
Louis Daily Globe-Democrat, Mon

Inexorable Railway Presidents.

Inexorable Railway Presidents.
The thoroughly independent and
inexorable attitude of the railway
presidents is causing grave con-
Germ to the Republican leaders.
The railway presidents, who are
the governors of the anthracite
coal mines, have not hesitated to
tell every politician who has APP
preached them in the hope of be-
ING able to do something towards
ending the strike that they, the
railway presidents, owned the
mines; that they would pay such
wages as they saw fit, and that
their relations with their employ
ees was their business solely. They
have set out to disrupt the miners
union; they own a monopoly OF
the anthracite coal mines, and they
defy anyone to interfere. The
Republican leaders realize that
the people will hold the Republi-
can party responsible for this con
dition of affairs, because that party
has encouraged trusts and even
now refuses to take steps which
would curtail their power.

MAY Nominate Beies.

The announcement that the
Democrats will in all probability
nominate Ex-Governor Horace
Boies to oppose Speaker Hender-
son in the Third Iowa district has
caused CONSERVATION among the
Republican leaders and they are
urging that the most active meas
ures be taken to save the district
to the party. They recognize in
Governor Boies a dangerous candi-
date. He is thoroughly clean
man and a most able one and his
record will bear the most careful
scrutiny, while, in addition to hav-
ing made many enemies as Speak
er, General Henderson has little
to recommend him apart from his
war record. 1t is the opinion here
that if Governor Boies will make
an earnest fight he will be the sue
cessful candidate.

NORTHERN PEOPLE
Coming South-W Work of the Southern
Railway.

The cry of the time is for cheap
land, cheap in price, but rich in
productiveness. Land has become
so high in the middle West that
farmers are looking elsewhere for
a more favorable location where
they can become owners and not
renters. The Southern States are
offering some exceptionally good
bargains in land values and in To-
cations that are easily accessible to
railroads. A demonstration of
what these lands can produce was
exemplifed in the fine exhibit
shown on the Iowa State Fair
grounds last week by the Southern
Railway, Fair visitors were
amazed to see what can be raised
in Southern States, and especially
was this noticea BILE IN the many va
riet1es of grain grown. The show
ing of fruit could not be excelled
anywhere, and the grasses grown
for fodder were the equal of ANY,
thing in that line. There is a fine
field for the Northern farmer in the
South, and many of those who have
gone down there have made great
success OF their farming. These
lands are suitable for every branch
of agriculture and can be pur-
chased at very low figure. This
is especially so in the States OF
Virginia, the two Carollnas, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennes-
see and Kentucky. Mr.. John F.
Olsen, who had charge of this fine
exhibit on the fair ground, said to
representative of The Homestead
that the people of the North were
fast finding out that good farm
in the South was very valuable,
and that other grains besides cot
ton could be grown at a profit. No
section of the United States can
offer a better place for stock rails
ing, at a less cost, than the South,
Water and pasture are in album
dance Not an acre of this land
requires irrigation to make it pro-
ductive. If any of our readers are
seeking a home where land is cheap
and very productive, the climate
genial and healthful, educational
facilities good, and where success
can be most easily obtained, they
should write to Mr.. John F, Olsen,
Land and Industrial Agent OF the
Southern Railway Co., Us Dear
born street, Chicago, ILL.,, and he
will be pleased to answer all in
quiries and furnish maps and PAM
phlets descriptive of this new

SYSTEMATIC WORK IN SCHOOL.

Why is systematic and orderly
work necessary in the sehoolroom!
1t is necessary-we know that
First, it saves time by having the
pupil trained so as to know what
is following next or what to do at
that moment, thus saving minutes
that may be better used, and sec
ondly it hourly forms regular hab-
it's, for is it not the duty of teachers
to teach a child neatness, cleanli-
ness, regularity, punctuality, hon
esty, accuracy, and to systematic
his work so as to be able to accom-
plish the greatest good in the
shortest time possible, just as it to
teach him the lessons of the text
books? Aschool is anorganism made
up of many MEMBERSHIP child,
the parent, the furniture, etc. AS
the body Isl affected by the failure on
the part of one of its organs being
disordered, so likewise is school
affected by a desk out of place, a
bell rang out of it's regular time,
irregular recesses, hardness OF
teachers, and anything that is not
systematic and regular.
| think our city should feel
proud of it's public school, first on
account of we'll constructed build
ing. which is so conducive to sys-
tematic work. Second, when en-
tering the schoolroom early in the
morning one might see the janitol
busily engaged in his regular
morning task of busting, and e'el
long even before the tower clock
announces the eight O'Clock houl
the teachers will be seen approach
ing the college as if coming from
one common home so near togeth
er do they arrive. Then closer
observation will show them busilJ
engaged with the morning duties
When the hour for the arrival O.
the pupils comes then the beauty
of our school system is made mani
fest. With what system and order
do they approach the building
Each pupil being trained from thu
time he enters till leaving into sys
tematic action, by bells being runs
on time, classes rising by musl
and passing in measured tread t.
the strains of the piano. Witt
eye signals and other gesticulation
for the orderly keeping of tn
school makes the school one il
which children may acquire habit
of prompt obedience and learn tt
move to the rhythm of society
for precision and exactness should
characterize all school movement
and nothing loud or boisterou
should enter there. Our schoo
has certainly advanced along thi
line, under the supervision of on
present superintendent. Boys AM
. girls from the surrounding cOun
try could not enter better regu
lated or more systematic schoo
than can be found in our city
where the child is educated moral
ly, physically and mentally.
