"Clayton county is one OF. the best

who spent Sunday at the Bayless, and
he said his statement was not mere
guessing. Elkader argus.
That is about as discreditable a re-
mark as can be made. A community
that is disloyal to itself-that sup
ports strangers in preference to neigh
boris who carry the burden Of home
industries, pay local taxes, support
all local enterprises-such people lack
one prominent quality in good citi-
zenship. DEBORAH Republican,.
That is no more discreditable than
for people in town to ignore the
newspaper established in their midst
and give their patronage to paper,
or two or three of them, published
elsewhere. Maybe there would be
fewer orders go to Chicago IL local
merchants advertised their wares a
little more generously and rather
more steadily. You recollect there
are two sides to shield-both are not
white; one is green, decidedly so. To
add all the fguers up you will notice
little difference in principle between
man and hog-both want all they
can get for little more than nothing.

Washington, Feb. 24.-In the senate
Saturday afternoon at 2:45 fist

that Tillman's statement regarding

Telephone Wires-Trains Great.
ly Delayed.

New York, Feb. 24-After "a hours
of snow, sleet and rain and a night
of high winds, New York awoke Sat-
urday to the worst weather condi-
tions 1t has faced this winter. Tele-
graph and telephone wires are down
In all directions, train service in and
out of the CITY delayed and irregular,
and suburban trolley service through
out the adjacent portions of New Jer-
sey and Long Island practically at a
standstill. When day broke a cold
rain was still falling and had turned
the snow to semi-frozen slush, imped-
Ing traffic and flooding low lying
! streets.
During the night the high wind
played havoc with ice coated trees
and wires, and miles of electric light,
telephone and telegraph wires were
down, making heavy task for the
army of linemen who are at work at
tempting to restore the systems.
The worst of the wreck among the
wires was between Bristol and Tren-
ton, N. ]. In the II miles between
those two points more than 100 tele-
graph poles were broken. There were
reports of burned trolley cars in va
rious sections. The weight of the ice
on the wires caused them to break,
and the loose ends, encountering cars,
set them on fire.
Central Park and other wooded
reservations have suffered enormous
damage. Hundreds of handsome
trees were split or denuded of
branches by the high winds. Added
to the other obstacles which the
northeasterly gale of Friday night
left in it's wake was phenomenally
high tide, which greatly interferred
with traffic by ferry.
Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 24.-The great
ice gorges on the Monongahela and
Allegheny rivers still remain intact,
and if the present weather conditions
continue, the danger from flood and
the ice gorge will not be as great as
feared.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The federal
express on which Mrs. Roosevelt,
Young Theodore, Miss Roosevelt and
DR.. Rixey were passengers, arrived
at 2:15 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
almost four hours late.
DR.. Rixey said that young Roose.
welt was in excellent condition and
was even better at the end of the
trip than when he started. His tenn
perature was normal and his condi-
ton very encouraging. When the
train stopped DR.. Rixey carried his
young patient, completely enveloped
in blanket, to the white house car
rage. President Roosevelt and As
sistant Secretary Loeb were at the
depot and the party was driven rap
idly to the white house.
