The Des Moines Capital, which fav-
ors the denomination of Congressman
Hull, says of his competitor that

present time he belongs to two ma
chimes. to-wit: The Cummins ma
chine and the Hull machine. We have
had some difficulty in preventing these
machines from clashing, but have got
ten along pretty well. The Hull ma
chine is of longer standing than the
Cummings machine, but both ma
chimes are much alike. Their gearing
is modern, the betting is first class
When the power is thrown on they

In operation a number of years. The
boxing is good. The Cummins ma

membership. has been In operation
about six years. 1t was slow in build

ma chines on the market" The Capt.
tai goes on to say that these machines
in selecting men for Office have made
both friends and enemies. the latter
being led to denounce the machine.
1t adds that "all machines look alike
to the Capital. Last year we were for
Cummins, regardless of his machine,
with some of his hencemen damning
the Capital at every opportunity. The
Capital went ahead regardless. We
are proud of Governor Cummins and

senator, and in order to do so must
keep his political friends together and
also serve the state. He can do both
If he keeps his especial political
friends together he has what is called

this article is written TO put some OF
the idle rot out of the campaign that
is being talked in public speeches in
behalf of Judge Prouty."

stocks of winter goods.
Pittsburg reports that transportation

the past month have aggregated about
22O, 600 tons, and the furnaces are we'll
sold to date, the stock on hand being
very small.
At Nashville general trade is still
very much depressed on account of cold
weather Retail trade is quiet and col
lections slow.
In New Orleans jobbers and manu-
facturers report fairly active trade.
| AT Cincinnati trade is reported as
satisfactory in dry goods. and there is
good call for notions and jewery.
Trade in boots and shoes and hats and
caps is reported rather quiet. Iron and
steel continue in good demand.
Minneapolis reports that trade con-
tinues good and jobbers in all lines are
doing n large business. The outlook Is
promising for heavy movement of
merchandise thru the spring and sum-
mer
| st. Louis reports that the arrivals of
country merchants under the first of the
reduced railroad rates have not been as
heavy as anticipated This is almost
entirely due to the sudden change to
cold weather and the prospect of the
arrivals are mainly from the south, tho
there are several from more local
points. Those now here are buying lib
orally. One of the results of buyers
postponing their visits is the receipt of
an unusual number of mail orders.
These are for filing in stocks and are

during the year of thirteen banks, $50

Many of these are of large size for bus
iness hotel and other purposes Manu-
featuring plants are running good
forces as a rule. labor is well employed
at satisfactory rates, and that insures
continued activity in mercantile cir

valued at $3.S31.500, an increase of
s436, 900 over the same month last year.
There was gain of $4,000 in exports
to oriental markets, but a decrease of

The Audubon Republican believes
one more state normal school should
be established. and believes it should
be in it's section of the state. 1t says:
We think Audubon is as well situated
as any other place in Iowa for it, We
are neither too close nor too far from
the Missouri line nor from the center
of the state, and both northwest and
southwest as we'll as west Iowa can
be accommodated here. Ii it can not
come to Audubon we hope it can
come to our near neighbour Atlantic.
The Red Oak Republican hopes that
success may attend the effort to be
made during the present session of the
legislature to materially increase the
salary of the governor of the state.
The Iowa City Republican is of the
opinion that the legislature should
promptly pass the bill requiring all
telephone exchanges to make common
connections in every town where two
or more systems exist. saying, "tele-
phones are public utilities and should
be subjected to law. The state requires
railways to make switch and track

State versus Lime Company

General w. b. Stratton was
in town Tuesday to represent the state
at the hearing before Judge Joiner OF
the case against the Island Lime Com
pany. Not one of the several attor-
neys for the defendant was present, but
a motion was filed asking that the
complaint be made "more definite and
certain" though no specific objection
was urged against it. The court de-
MED the motion and allowed the de-
fendant company ten days in which
to file its answer to the complaint.
The Lime company is charged with
trespassing upon land belonging to
the state and with having manufac-
tured and sold since the 18th day OF
January, 1900, 10000 barrels of lime
from limerick taken from state land
and for which the state asks judgment
in the sum of $12, 500 in addition to an
order directing defendant to vacate the
land.

too high point there to make it any
longer a good field for real estate spec

impressed with the locality as place
of residence. Along the line. of a new
irrigating canal now being built near
Wenatchee raw sage brush land is sell

costs $50 an acre to get the water on the
land from the canal and then 1t costs
for water annually $l.50 an acre.
When irrigated, however, the land is
enormously productive land well inn
proved places are very profitable.
