VIKING.

May 9th. -Olof L. Berglund and
daughter left for Canada, May 4th.
Something is very wrong with the
management tot the weather beureau
OF late.
The heavy rainfalls OF late has de-
layed seeding, SO many Of the farm
ers will get in only one-half as much
wheat as was expected at first More
diversified farming will be the result.
Our mail-carrier is experiencig all
kinds OF trouble getting our mail
ont, so the arrival OF our mail is
very irregular.

Seeding is set back considerably on
account OF the heavy rains, butwe
hope to see some great ditching
done this summer so that seeding
can be done in the right time after
this. The farmers see now the great
benefit it would have been to have
had the land properly drained. Now
let us see something done this sum
mer and not let it so as it has in the
past years: Talk about ditching
when it is wet and when it dries up
to let it go because there is no need
oil then.
There has been some talk about
petitioning for main ditch through.
here to help Snake river carry Off the
water that is put into it by those
great bitches that come into it from
the east side. Those bitches, no
doubt, do a lot Of good for the farm
ers out east, but occasionally they
do as much damage for the farmers
on this side, as the Snake has flooded
over the past years and more likely
to do so every year hereafter, and
this could altogether be avoided if a
cutoff was dug through, or Snake
river was cleaned up SO as to give
a better flow to the water.
Yet, if some OF the farmers are
disappointed, others seem to take
courage as we see by G. Hotter,
who has been down investiga ting at
Daniel Martins place. Although he
found some soft places on it, he is
more likely to buy it. Mr.. Martin
has a good piece OF land and a COM
Portable residence on the bank OF

Thilda Sebjornson was seen on the
streets OF our town some days ago,

The steamer, Grand Forks, made a
flying trip to Bigwood the other day,
and nearly ran onto the ferry cable,
but the swiftness OF the ferry is
even greater than that OF the steam

save it.

day, which shows that Mr.. Oseth is

ECKvOLL.

The farmers are now getting very
much disappointed on account ofthe.
weather, as it seems it will never dry
up so they can do seeding.
Last Friday we had a light snow
storm again, but it soon melted
away. The ground is very soft and
all sloughs and holes are full OF
water. AS it is getting so late, there
will not be very much wheat seeded

IOWA STATE SYNOD.
Important Action Taken by the
Presbyterians.

Waterloo, Oct. 25.-The sessions of
the Presbyterian state synod closed
last evening, after one of the most
successful meetings since it's organi-
cation. The place of meeting next
year was left undecided.
The chief interest of the entire sess-
ion conferred in the matter of self
support, postponed from Wednesday
for final action Thursday. No ques-
ton before the synod for years has
enlisted such general interest as self
support. This cause was ably cham
pioned by the older presbyteries, par
ticularly that of Iowa, where a system
Of self support as a presbytery has
recently been inaugurated. The chief
opposition came from the newer pres
byteries in the northwest part of the
synod, particularly FIT. Dodge. The
discussion was animated and continued
until both sides were heard quite
fully. The resolutions of the commit
tee were adopted by vote of 80 ayes
to IL nays, afterwards made unani-
nous. The first article in the Resolu-
ton reads:
81. That the synod of Iowa under
take self control and self support of
its mission work, beginning April /,
next, and that the home mission board
be asked to continue it's grants to
those missionaries who are or may be
under commission until March 80
next"

VACCINATION.
A Test Case in the Courts of Hardin
County.

Waterloo, Oct. ga suit at law
is now promised over a clause in a
fraternal insurance policy, invalidat-
ing the insurance in case Of death by
smallpox when the deceased had not
been vaccinated. Last year Mr..
Crumrine, a farmer, living in Cedar
township, became afflicted with small
pox and after few days of intense
suffering, he died. The body was bur
led at once owing to the danger OF
contagion. Mr.. Crumrine's life was
insured in a fraternal and beneficial
order, but thus far the lodge has re-
fused absolutely to pay the policy.
The reason for this they assert to be
a clause in the policy saying that the
policy would be null If the insured
should die of smallpox, without
vaccination. Mr.. Crumrine had never
been vaccinated.

CATHOLICS KNOW HOW.

There is little town up in Marshall
county somewhere, which requires a
microscope to find it on the map, by
the name of Haverhill. The official
caucus credits it with population of
100, and foot note says it is in the
heart of a good farming community.
But potatoes and corn do not seem
to be the only things the people of
this little hamlet seem capable of rails
ing. They have just completed an
caegant Catholic church there which
cost $4,000, and Archbishop Keane,
81 Dubuque, was there the other day
and dedicated the structure free from
debt. Upon the same trip the Bishop
stopped at Marshalltown and laid the
corner stone for the new $4,000 st.
Thomas public hospital that is being
erected there. When it comes to do
ing things the Catholics seem to know
how. If further evidence is needed
We can refer to the Catholic fair just
held in Oskaloosa which netted $500.

isfaction with the condition of bust
ness and labor. The republicans have
one great issue in this campaign. 1t
is prosperity and the fact that this
prosperity is with the people because
of the policies of the republican party
worked oct III LEGISLATION anil eXccn-
ton OF the law. The democratic CON
mittee Ia ita campaign book ard the
democratic conventions in their plat
forms deny that there is prosperity
but the people admit it and are salts
fed. They are so well satisfied that
they are giving all their time to their
business affairs. Were this govern
ment conducted on the lines of the
British government when parliament
is dissolved and the parties go to the
country only after vote expressing
lack of confidence, there would be no
probability of change. But here
the political parties must go to the
country every two years and ask for
the reelection of the congress. The
man who is so prosperous that he can
not find time to take any interest in
politics IS rust as great a larger to the
present condition, as IS lie man who
is dissatisfied.
But theIe is a great issue at stake
in this campaign. 1t is the issue of
1896 and 1900. 1t is just as important
now as it was in either of these years.
In 1896 we demanded prosperity be-
cause we had it not. In 1900 we de-
manded the reelection of President
Mckinley as al assurance of the con-
tinuance of prosperity. That is the
issue today. A Republican majority
in Congress is just as important as
Republican President. The Democra-
tic party denies that there is prosper
ity and has one stable remedy for
every political ill it complains OF.
That remedy is Free Trade. In 1892
that party won at the polls because
thousands of Republicans were salts
fed that the prosperity of the country
under the Harrison administration
was so well established that the
Democratic party could not disturb
it. There was elected a Democratic
President and a Democratic Congress.
Within six months after the Inaugural
ton of the Democratic President and
before the Democratic Congress met
the country was in the grip of one of
the worst panics ever known. The
people became alarmed after they
had, by indifference, permitted the ell
ection of a Democratic President and
a Democratic Congress. The panic
brought about by the change of tariff
policy in the year 1892 continued I'M
til the election of William Mckinley
as President. The prosperity brought
back by the election of Mckinley and
a Republican Congress can be lost by
Republican Indifference this fall. The
issue is the same as in 1896, only with
the difference that we have the pros
perity and can continue it by drop
ping business for a day to vote.

Do Good-lt Paws.

A Chicago man has observed that,
Good deeds are better than real
estate deeds-somes of the latter are
worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend a helping
hand. You cannot possibly lose by
it." Most men appreciate kind word
and encouragement more than sub
stantial help. There are persons in
this community who might truthfully
say. my good friend, cheer up. A
few doses of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy will rid you of your cold, and
there is no danger whatever from
pneumonia when you use that medi-
cine. 1t always cures. l know 1t for

BOY WANTED.

Be the times prosperous or oIner-
wise, says the Burlington Hawkeye,
the sign boy Wanted" is displayed
in factory and store windows. And
the young lads who read the lives OF
some of our successful men recognize
in that sign the guide-post that points
to successor to what is too generally
taken for success in these bustllng
times. They chafe at the restraint OF
home and school and fondly mag
inc that a job means greater liberties;
that the boy enters upon the path that
leads to glory as soon as he escapes
the rule of the teacher.
There are other places where the
boy is wanted. Burlington has some
dozen fine grammar schools, it has one
of the best high schols in the west.
No sign boy Wanted" is hung out
there, nevertheless. And he is want
ed, not for the schools sake, but for
his own sake and for the sake OF the
commonwealth in whose rule he is ere
long to take part.
The boy does not learn the full his
tory of the successful man, who found
employment when very young, and
then made his way to the front. IL
he were to get at the real facts, he
would find that the few who achieve
remarkable success in that fashion,
do so not because they went to work
at an early age, but despite the fact
that they were handicapped by in
sufficient schooling. And he would
find that one of the chief regrets OF
this class of successful men is that
they were deprived of educational ad-
vantages in their early youth. For
what a boy learns with a minimum OF
application, requires the hardest kind
of digging for the man advanced In
years.
The parents should consider not the
whims or wishes of the boy, whose
chief ambition seems to be to go forth
and engage in the battle OF life, TO en-
ter upon his career, to make money,
to work. For these things there will
be time enough. For the knowledge
to be obtained in the schools, for what
is almost indispensable in the battle
of life. there is no time like that Of
boyhood. And the boy who grows to
be a sensible man will ever bless the
parents who compelled him to remain
at school and to study-even though
he thought it hard and unjust, and re-
belled against 1t at the time.
The story OF John Mitchell supplies
an instance. The lad was born and
grew up in the mining districts where
he has become famous. He enjoyed
the rare advantage of attending school
until he was sixteen years Of age be-
fore he shouldered his pick and be-
came a miner. With all his native
shrewdness, with his undoubted abil-
ity OF a high order, he would never
have become one of the foremost men
in the thoughts of a great nation; he
would never have achieved the proud
position of tried and trusted success
full leader of vast army of toilers;
he would never have been able to ad-
minister the affairs, to plan, fight and
win the battles of gigantic labor or
ganization, If the sign boy Wanted"
.had drawn him away from the school
room. He would never have become

DEFENDS HER HONOR.
Plucky Young Woman Beats a Fiend
With a Curtain Pole.

Mason City, Oct. 25.--If the story
which Cora Ward of Plymouth tells
is true Jacob Haberkorn, a nineteen
year-old farm hand, stands a good
chance to do service at Anamosa.
Last Thursday night her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. N. F. Ward went to Ply
mouth to attend a lodge meeting and
Haberkorn who had been working
there for the past eight months went
into the room of the complainant
and made improper proposals, Offering
money and then using force. Her out
cry brought her sister, fifteen years
Of age, to the rescue and she belab
ored the assailant with a curtain pole
while Cora pulled the assailant's hair
out in large chunks. One girl got the
family shot gun but was content to
use the butt over the voung mans
shfns. The young wo. lan's night
dress was torn off and the girls took
flight to the nearest neighbors giving
the alarm. Haberkorn fed and was
arrested at his sisters home at Rudd.
The preliminary examination is be-
ing held this afternoon before Justice
Cummings. j.. ]. Clark has been re-
tanned to defend the young man.
