There is no doubt of the doctors eernestness In

ENTIRE OF Mr.. ANDREWS.

Chares N. Andwers has made his
formal announcement that he is a can
didate for congress, and as no other
Democrat in the second district will
step into the field there is no reason
why he cannot be given a unanimous
nomination.
Personally Mr.. Andrews is clean
man, gentleman whom it is de-
light to know. He is held in high
respect by his fellow townsmen and
that he will conduct an honorable
campaign against Representative Nc
Cleary there is not a particle of doubt
But Mr.. Andrews is the representa-
tive of party that has not been able
to satisfy the people in the handling
of governmental affairs. Placed in
control of the administration, having
a majority in both houses of congress
the Democratic party failed in the
promises it made to the people; the
only result of its labors was disaster
to the business interests of this vast
country and people lost confidence in
the ability of that party to administer
to their wants.
Admitting that the tariff needs
revision, the people will declare this
fall that the Republicans are the
proper persons to attend to such an
undertaking. The fact must not be
lost sight of that the vast majority of
the business men and laboring men
are in favor of protective tariff and
do not desire a tariff for revenue only.
AS was stated in The Free Press few
days ago the Republican party can be
depended upon to make such changes,
if necessary, in the tariff as will meet
the wishes of the people. The Repub-
lican party always has demonstrated
its ability to cope with the problems
of government and it will continue to
do So
Mr.. Andrews will be permitted to
act as Moses for the Democratic fold
in the second district this fall No
ONE will object to his leading the chill
dren of that faith through the wilder
ness, but be will not be allowed to
enter the promised land. Like the
Moses of old the genial gentleman will
only be permitted to stand on the
mountain and gaze into the land that
he would fsin inhabit His hosts will ]
be lead to the gates and there they
will knock long and loud, but the
persons in charge will simply answer
that their guide was travelling under
the wrong banner and they will not
be admitted.
The country is prosperous. Men are
employed at good wages, the farmer is
receiving high prices for his products
and he is satisfied with conditions. |
He does not care to fly to the ills he
knows not of. In word, there is no
good reason for the election of a |
Democratic congress. The people
are willing to let well enough alone.

STEEL TRUSTS HAND,

This is telegram sent out from
Sioux City:
A buyer for the Omaha Northern
railroad, the Sioux City Omaha line
to be built by the syndicate headed by
John G. Coombs of Boston, asked quo
tations from six houses owned by the
United States Steel corporation on an
order for 90, 90 tons of steel rails, free
on board cars at Chicago, to be paid
for with cash.
Five of the houses refused to make
quotations without knowing what was
the significance of the railroad.
The sixth made quotation, but
withdrew it the next day, insisting on
the same conditions.
The railroad will abandon the effort
to buy the rails in this country It's
officials have asked quotations from
houses in Great Britain, Belgium and
Germany.
Is the steel trust attempting to balk
the construction of railroads in this
country2 If such is fact the matter
needs looking into.

The Third district returns, so far as
the filing Of certificates by Republican
candidates for conrgess are concerned,
are apparently all in. What the har-
vest will be with seven active men in
the field cannot be foretold. While
every county in the district is not out
with a candidate, there are some
counties with two and the splitting Of
votes will be so great as to leave the
final choice mere guess work until the
count of ballots is made. One pleas
ant thing about the situation is the
fact that whoever is nominated the
district will get good man and a
winner. There will be no room for a
Democrat to get through in the third
district this year.

Here's man who died from over
eating corn from the cob. He didn' t
drink the juice from corn. William
Hafner, farmer residing near Trem-
peleau, Wis, is dead as the result of
eating fifty ears of green corn. Mr..
Hafner greedily ate twenty-four ears
of the corn at dinner. In the after
noon he pursued his regular occups-
tion and at the evening meal he again
ate corn, to the number of fifteen.
Still there were no bad results and
he was apparently in a normal state
of health when he came to retire. In
the course of the night he was awak-
ened by an empowering desire for
more corn. Arising Immediately he
proceeded to eat eleven more ears of
the cold corn. This proved too much.
He retired, never to arise again. In
the morning his wife awoke to find
her husband dead in bed, having ap-
parently died in torturing convul-
sions

CYCLONE AS A THRESHER.

j, G. Fowler is authority for the
statement that couple of weeks ago a
cyclone passed near Adrian. AS the
funnel-shaped cloud swept across a
field it came bump against several
stacks of grain. And here is where
the cyclone was accommodating. In
stead of destroying the stacks it
threshed out the wheat, separating the
kernels from the straw as nicely as if
the grain had passed through
threshing machine.
