An Accepted Call.

We regret to note the fact that
Rev. j. + Adair, of the Christiant
church in this city, has accepted
a call from the Church in Haran,
Iowa for the coming pastoral
year.
His congregation here will re-
greet to part with Rev. Adair and
his excellent family, and can as
sure him AMI them that they go,
carrying with them the best wish
es of the entire community, and
especially of the congregation
which he has so abbey and faith
fully served for the past 3 years.
His place will be hard to fill i'm the
Church, and all regret that he has
found it satisfactorl to himself to
enter new fields of labor. His gen
tlemany end Christian character
has SO identified his name with the
congregation here that neither
time nor absence can efface his
memory from their minds, and he
and his will lever find warm place
in the hearts of all who have wait
ed upon his ministry, or enjoyed
the acquaintance of him and his
family for the past three years in
Missouri Valley, Iowa.

Wheat. The market in wheat for
the week has been rather steady. The
great advance in the September deliv-
cry represented nothing more than the
running in of the shorts" by Armour

tract wheat in this seasons winter
crop. The spring wheathas more con-
tract grade in proportion but does not
appear to be getting to Chicago. When
it does begin to arrive it will probably
effect the market some but this will
only be temporary as the advices from
most foreign countries, except Russia,
are that the Government reports are
proving disappointing. This is es-
peclally true of Germany, where the
wet and cold weather since July has
been very damaging to wheat, and
they are looking THIS way Tor their
supply.
Corn. Corn has held strong most of
the week, but was off some Saturday

though it is acknowledged by all that
there is great scarcity of contract
corn and the market continues to
work higher and December corn will
probably sell for soc.
Oats. Oats for September delivery

week ago. While there continues to
be good deal of standard grade, still

PART I.
A Statesman lived in Logan town,
All, who can ill his place!
Four Schemers tried to hunt him down
A priest was in the chase.
Good Catholics, we're known to you"
Thus wrote the Scheming four,
1--WE wish to have an interview
With you, behind the door,"
This statesman is a wicked man,
And rotten to the core,
Vote all the Catholics that you can
But work behind the door,"
at is not wise to write you all,
Or we would write you more;
Come soon, we'll tell you when you call
And plan behind the door,"
God bless the Catholics of this land,
Forgive them if they swore,
They did not vote as Schemers planned
Nor go behind the door.
He's dead! Sad day, Democracy;
The man, the orator,
Who led you on to victory,
Nor went behind the door.
Will we forget that slanderous note
OF Gilmore of the four?
Will we forget and for him vote,
This man behind the door?
Let interests differ as they may,
And angry factions roar;
Truth never shuns the light of day
Nor goes behind the door.
PART III.
Since then time rolled as time has
willed,
Brought offices in store,
With two appointments to be filled,
Or sold behind the door.
"Hail, Court House! waited for, denied
For years half score!
Behold the gates are open wide,
Oh, snap behind the door"
"What Schemers on the market hang,
Good Schemers heretofore,
Men who will not betray the gang,
And work behind the door,"
appointment, reelection then,
This is the price in store,
This is the price we'll pay the men
For work behind the door"
"And this is what is wanted done,
The voters you ignore,
Throw all the districts into one,
A trick behind the door,"
"Repairs for Court House every year
Five thousand-may be more.
We must have one still over here
But that's behind the door,"
"The Hi.lard, Ref and Pugsley croak
Just let that sleep and snore,
But stir the Goals we need the smoke
For work behind the door,"
"How we'll elect you, just keep mum,
The opposition corps
Can easily be overcome
With work behind the door,"
Republicans won't nominate,
No matter who feels sore;

You're on the D-m &C ATTIC pla.e,
Thus bn,tipy every donrn

You're on the D-m &c ATTIC pla.e,
Thus b"'ting every door
: Don't push the other work too fast,
Lay low and keep near shore,
II rep 'ha' until the vie is cast,
Keep that behind the door.
Will We submit to tricks like these
For Gilmnrs of the fonr.
HIth parties down upon their knees
To men behind the door.
Let interests differ as they may,
And angry fac'ors roar,
Truth never shnns the light Of day
Nor gees behind The door.
PART III
Conventions come, conventions GO,
The party whip is II .shed--
The pipes are laid. the plans are made.
But al how often smashed.
Conventions come and then adjourn,
Adjourn to meet again,
Perhaps to tro%n some tricksters down
Or warn soma scheming men.
CONVENTION too, are called to meet
And then the call withdrawn,
Perhaps what's pledged must now be
hedged
Or all, alas! is gone.
Why are the parties jlgg!ed thus?
What me ans this threatened wall.
So those who vote can only vote
For Gilmore or for Hall?
We ask chance to turn them down,
A fair, impartial chance,
a voters right, voters might,
An unincnmbered lance
They do not repre- sent vote,
Appointed by compeers,
Is it not strange that they should
change
A law i'll vogue for years?
They threw the Districts into one,
These spotless, honest men.
The price is made but is not paid.
That price IS place again.
Think you Democracy will bow.
Republicans forbear.
And not be heard by act and word
From voters verywhere?
How that convention stirred you up!
When will we hear enough!
Or must you roar little more
To shield your heEchman Huff
If Hillard, Reit and Pugsley stole,
Say what was Huff about?
Was 1t his will to just keep still
And help the boodling out?
You signed the boodling warrants,
Huff,
You knew abont each deal
Now benchman Huff, we call your
bluffs,
Who paid you not to squeal?
When that appointment was fixed up,
With Gilmore and with Hall,
Was it agreed you should not bleed
And that the Board should fall?
How different would this matter look,
No one could then confute,
Had you declined or had not signed
These warrants in dispute
Yours is the only name they bear:
You made them all they are
And have the blame as we'll as shame
In each particular.
You're honest are you, only dull2
You didn't want a row.
II that Is SO, now don't it show
It's time to drop you now.
Let interests differ, as they may,
And angry factions roar,
Trnth never shuns the light of day
Nor goes behind the door.
BONAMI.

Realizing thu fact that there is not

The HippOs' Fourteen Ply Epidermis.

Stand back. Little Ones, and will tell you another amusing Googlc-I story Google-I, as you all know, lived in lonely part of the jungle (no, New Jersey is not in the jun gle, Little Ones), and on the Sixth Day it was very cold. In fact, the weather was so frigid that the Jungle Journal spoke of it as follows: 'rhe weather is getting so cold that 1t has become necessary for our Po- sleepman to carry ice DICKS instead of clubs
 Well, on this particular day, while old Google-I was in his cave warming his horny hands over some burning fagots, the en- trance to his dingy old home was darkened by the huge form of Joboken, the oldest and biggest elephant In the jungle.
 Hello, Google-I,' began the colossal quadrupcd, laying his heavy trunk in a friendly way on the shoulder of the merry jungle jingler, "what are you doing now?"
 '.I am not doing porters work, to be sure," replied Google-I, ''so if you will kindly take your trunk off my shoulder l will go and get you rock to sit on."
 The elephant took down his trunk as re- quested, but, when the old man started to go for rock he pulled him back, saying that he did not care to sit down, having just dropped in to warm himself, and adding: Its fact, the cold actually penetrates my hard skim
 Your skin is not what it Is cracked up to be-, smilingly remarked Google-I, referring to the peculiar condition of the elephants covering.
 That's one on me- rejoined Mir. Ele- phant.
 ''What is,' asked the jingo, innocently.

had been to get there, he suddenly stopped when quite close, for there, just in front of the hollow in the tree, was a snake. His long. 1.-the body was coiled round and round, hut his head was uplfted and waving gen tly to and fro.
 Giglums knew perfectly well what he was after. All snakes are fond of birds eggs and when Giglums remembered that his wife was out he grew sick with terror; but there was no time to be lost, not even a moment, so with a lightning-like dart he flew down, seized the snake by the back of its head with his strong beak, and, flying up in the air, let 1t drop to the ground.
 Then down he went again, seized 1t by the neck as before, and held on until 1t was dead. So overjoyed was Giglums at this that, leaving the snake on the ground to eat later on, he flew up into the tree, and laughed and laughed until he could laugh no longer. And then he suddenly found that the sun had come out again, and up went his head and wings, his ruffied feathers set tied themselves again, and he gggled and chuckled, and laughed again until he just looked like the silly old laughing jackass that he was.
 But he had saved the eggs, and very
