Owing TO inclement weather the
old settlers meeting was postponed
TO October list, and will be held in
the court house and grounds. This
is where it should have been adver-
tised for at the beginning and the
committee which mad the arrange
ments in charge made the mistake OF
trying To carry it out OF town. 1t
will now be an unqualified success.
T. W. Dean, OF Spruce township, in
company with County Treasurer
johnson, made us a pleasant call
Wednesday, Mr.. Dean showed us Il
relic, which he had brought up to
the old settlers meeting, pair OF
hand knit white axstuckings, which
were worn by his great randiather,
with knee pants and large silver
buckles. ON his wedding occasion,
one hundred and seventeen years
ago. Mr.. Dean is now in his seventy
first year, hale and hear'y.
I. {. Copeland, pension attorney
and a prominent member ofthe Il. A.
X. post ofthiscity, was taken charge
of Saturday 10y the officers and con-
fined in jail. This became necessary
from the fact that Mr. Copeland had
lost his mind, and it was feared that
he might do something rash rs he
was totally irresponsible and was
making threats against the lie OF
several persons. After remaining in
| nil over night. he calmed down to
n certain extent and 10y the impor-
tunities of his wife and daughter,
Mrs. A. l.. McAnully, who thought
they could care for and control him,
he was released Sunday morningnnd
was taken home. His liberty, how
ever, was Of short duration as the
officers were called upon Ia take
charge of him again early Monday
morning. Mr., Copeland has not
been n well man for more than n
year, aud it is thought his present
malady is caused principally from
the wrecked condition of his nervou,
system. He has lived here for L
number of years and is known as :
IQuipt inOfiensive man and goot

cUMMINs DENoUNcEs GATES.

Walter Wellman in Chicago Record
Herald: "The only danger | can see to
republican success in the western
states" said Governor Cummins of
Iowa, few days ago, "is in John w.
Gates. If Mr.. Gates goes on as he has
been going he may cost the republicans
the next house of representatives.
What has he to do with it? A good
deal. So much has been published in
the newspapers about Mr.. Gates easy
ways of making money ,about the rapid
ity with which he piled up fortunes out
of barbed wire, about his luck in Wall
street, on the race track, at the card
tables, that in the minds of the people
Gates has become sort Of type OF the
quick.rich trust magnate of the times.
"He may not be any worse than
scores of others, but to the masses OF
people in this western country he is
perso niication Of trust greed, gambling,
vulgarity. He is the nimble example
who had served to call popular atteation
to system-a system Of stock iobbing
gambling in industrial properties, and
taking out Of the consumer the enor.
nous profits which enable such men to
exist. The great majority OF the people
do not like vulgar gamblers, who bra
zenly faunt their habits before the
world, and Mr.. Gates has managed to
attract attention to the system very
much as the drunk and disorderly man
bowling through the streets serves to
advertise the existence of open saloons
in town.
"The barbed wire out of which Gates
made his fortune and other steel and
iron products for which the people of
the west have been compelled to pay
enormous prices, are not only controlled
by monopoly, but protected by high
protective tariff. And this is whore the
shoe pinches the republicanaparty."
