the ditch to take up the waters Of
the Boyer and thus permit it's bed
to be reclaimed for the twenty
miles southwark to it's entrance
into the Missouri in Crescent
township. From the union with
the Boyer near CRADLE, the ditch
may be cut due southwest in a
straight line to the Missouri, a
distance of about ten miles. This
latter excavation is believed to be
comparatively easy as the Boy Ell
once ran in that direction to the
Missouri and a lake now remains
midway.
The other ditch, the Allen
creek, would cut directly across
the north western corner of Rock
ford township, entering Pottawat-
fannie county about a mile west of
Itna Willow Greek ditch. 1t will
be abort fifteen miles in length in
this county.
PROPERTY OWNERS TO FAY.
1t is expected that the ditch
proposition will soon be taken up
by the Pottawattamie county
board in earnest if the interested
property owners manifest them
selves in favor of the improve
ment. On petition of the adJa-
cent land owners, all the board
would have to do would be to pro-
vide for the appraisement of the
land and the assessment Of the
cost back on the benefited pro-
perty. In Harrison county ar
rangement has been made for the
payment of the cost in bonds on
which the benefited property own
ers pay back one-tenth each year,
which reduces the burden of cost
to minimum. II is claimed that
the increased valuation of the
land would, at once, more than
equal the cost of the ditch and
That the saving for crops from in
undation which are frequent in
that section Of the county would
also pay the expense in a few
years. One farmer in Crescent
township, who owns several hun
dred acres of land there, is re-
ported to have declared that he
would gladly pay an assessment OF
at least SIS an acre if the Boyer
could be diverted as proposed.

| 1t has been found by the census
bureau that, in tho aggregate,
there are Is, 726,779 bachelors of 90

of the remarkable fact that there
are ut the present in the United

words there re 2, 53l 1888 unattach-

This state of affairs in Iowa and
elsewhere is surprising because ii
has been popularity supposed that
there were many more splnsters
than bachelors. 1t is proved by
the census Office figures not only
that this notion was incorrect, but
the surplus is actually one of
bachelors. Even when all the

years of age, are taken into count,
there are not nearly enough of
them to 90 around.

Immediately after Chairman Hay
makers speech, Ed Weilep, of Cherokee,
tried to spring the fight for adjourn
ment to meet at Topeka with the Pop

order because the convention was not
yet permanently organized The decl-
sion was received with great applause.
The usual committees were appointed,
prominent members of the resolutions
committee being Geo. w. Click ana
David Overmyer. W. F. Sapp on behalf
of the state committee, asked eacn
county to pay an assessment OF 81 for

journed till 2 o'clock.

der OF business over selection Of a state
committee. 1t was proposed by Jas.
Orr of Atchison. for the convention to
select a committeeman at large who
should be chairman of the state com
mittee, but he afterwards withdrew the
chairman part of the motion; the move
was in the interest of Farrelly for
charm an.
After the committee adjourned Ed.
Carroll of Leavenworth said: This ac-
tion leaves election of state chairman
with the state committee as heretofore.
am satisfied that Mack Love is de-
feated I think the chairman viii be
Hugh Farrelly, at least I hope SO. It
will lie between Farreny and Pitts I
am not particular which. My fight was
to beat Love and we have done that"
The resolutions committee got into a
squa bible over resubmissiOn and this
question was referred to a sub-commit-
tee to report at o'clock.
The fight for adjournment which Ed.
Weilep tried to precipitate at the morn
ing session is bound to come up after
the permanent organization is effected
The Third district delegates held caucus
during the noon recess and voted to
stand for adjournment. Governor Click
has been decided upon for permanent

In conclusion Mr.. Hoar believed that
better counsel yet would prevail than

The irrevocable step had not yet been
taken. Let US at least have this to say:
we, too. have kept the faith of the
fathers. We took Cuba by the hand,
We delivered her from her age-long
bondage. We welcomed her to the fam
Iy of nations. We set mankind an ex-
ample never beheld before in modern
history. We led hesitating and hating
Europe to the deliverance of their be-
leaguered ambassadors in China. We
marched through a hostile country-a
country cruel and INSTRUMENTATION
anger or revenge We returned benefit
for injury and pity for cruelty. We
made the name of America beloved in
the east as in the west. We kept faith
with the Philippine people. We kept
faith with our own history. We kept
our national honor unsullied. The nag
which We received without a rent, we
handed down without a STAIN
